Section 346 Consequences

The Bohai man-made rebellion was an important watershed in the Jinliao situation.

Before, Liao vs. Jin, although there were always big defeats, but the bottom was there, the population base, wealth, troops, technical equipment, and logistics support far surpassed the Jurchens, and the strategy as a whole still maintained a suppressive posture against the Jurchens.

At that time, the Jurchens were victorious, mainly by plundering wealth and slaves, and because of the limited population of the Jin State itself and the newly acquired large number of prisoners of war, it was difficult for the population to really return to the Jin Kingdom for a while, and they could not let it go out to rule, and they did not have the ability to invade and occupy it on a large scale for victory.

After that, the Khitan lost Liaodong, which first hit the Liao State's grain production and manufacturing industries such as textiles, iron, and weapons, resulting in an unprecedented shortage of the most basic needs of the Liao State, and the country's economic foundation began to waver. At the same time, the loss of a large number of important craftsmen and reservists and other military potential.

What's even worse is that although the newly established Bohai State is an independent state, it is attached to the Jurchens, which indirectly makes the power and influence of the Jin State skyrocket all of a sudden, shrinking from the north to the south, and penetrating into the internal areas ruled by the Liao State, directly threatening the core of the Liao State.

Since then, the Liao State has lost its suppression posture against the Jin State, and has fallen into a passive defensive situation everywhere, and was finally gnawed away little by little.

On the whole, the rule of the Liao State was divided into two officials, the north and the south.

Nanguan, mainly managing the Han people in Yanyun and other places, implemented an administrative system similar to that of the Great Song Dynasty, dividing prefectures and counties. This is also the case in the states of Liaodong. The Northern Guans mainly managed the Khitans and the northern nomads. The main body of administration follows the tribal system.

However, a large number of nomadic Khitans in Liaodong are also tribal.

For these Khitan tribes, Liaodong is lost, and Daliao will gradually end up from this. They don't know about it.

What they knew was that their tribal warriors had been drawn to form an army to quell the rebellion, but because the Khitan aristocratic officers who led the troops were afraid of the Jurchen army on the battlefield, they were so frightened that they fled first regardless of the consequences. The regular army of the imperial court then collapsed, resulting in a large number of casualties among the tribal armies that accompanied them as they retreated with the hasty defeat of the emperor. The tribe's young strength was greatly damaged, and then they had to flee their homes to avoid being slaughtered by the Bohai Navy.

The tribal lords suddenly became refugees from rich and secure rulers, and with their surviving subordinates or urgently moved to the west or south, a large number of property was abandoned, the weather was cold, the cattle, horses and sheep were crying without food, the women and children were crying in pain, and the men were crying with tears and grief. With such a miserable and embarrassed appearance, how angry are these equally sinful old men in their hearts? How resentful would you be at the incompetence of the Da Liao aristocracy? How disappointed would you be with the emperor and the court?

Carrying a grudge and resentment, they went south, and endured all the hardships to Yanshan Mansion, a stable ruling area, how could these old men endure not attacking the official mansion.

The tribe has no forage for horses, cattle and sheep, people have no food and no shelter, and they urgently need all kinds of assistance, and they also need to fight for good resettlement sites, and they also need to gather together to make trouble.

The officials of Yanshan Mansion can't play hard with these old men, and they can't play soft. Suddenly one head and two big.

We can only try our best to rescue and appease on the one hand, and on the other hand, arrange troops to strictly guard the cities, so as to prevent the tribal forces going south from gathering in anger to loot the local areas because they are not satisfied with the aid and treatment they have received, and triggering armed conflicts. There were even widespread rebellions.

The subsequent Yunzhou region also fell into this situation.

Yanyun's army was deployed in a large number of government garrisons, unable to manage and deter other areas, which further exacerbated the loss of law and order caused by the continuous influx of refugees.

Local inns, villages, tribes, etc., see chaos. For the wealth of refugees sent to the door, the hand of evil is secretly extended.

A barbarian nation like the Khitan attacked their fellow tribes in distress. Compared with the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the Han people were too ruthless to their exiled people.

And the tribes that went south left their homes and businesses. The nomadic people's tradition of eating the jungle since ancient times is very aware of the importance of manpower and cattle, horses and sheep for the survival and development of the tribe in the future, and they also take advantage of the chaos to wait for the opportunity to wield a knife to wantonly slaughter, plunder and annex the weak, and strive to replenish their forces as much as possible, so as to obtain ideal resettlement places and greater ruling power and interests in new places.

The tribal army, which had been defeated from Liaodong and went south to find its own tribe and relatives, was annoyed, full of the evil spirit that the battlefield was infected and stimulated, full of murderous intent that had accumulated but could not be vented, out of greed for wealthy women, in order to make up for their own losses, to vent their disappointment and anger and dissatisfaction, and to have money to spend and eat on the way to escape, and so on, they also waited for an opportunity to kill the refugees fleeing south.

The world is in chaos, killing people is not a thing, it doesn't matter if it is the same clan or not, it is not wrong to kill and rob.

The most important thing is to live on your own, and to be able to live well in the future.

Once the evil butcher's knife is swung, it eats blood and tastes sweetness, how can it be easily stopped?

It will only kill more and more ruthlessly, and kill more and more.

The tribal armies often unceremoniously kill each other when they see the large amount of horses, cattle and sheep they have received from each other.

Who can become the final profit winner of the national disaster, let's rely on our ability alone.

This is very fair, and it is very in line with the customs and traditions of the horseback people since ancient times. The winner is at ease. The dead have no grudges.

Those Khitan men who lost everything in order to survive, but also took it for granted to be robbers, because of resentment that the court tasted the sweetness of being robbers and other reasons, there was nowhere to go anyway, so they simply rolled up the horses and women's property they had stolen and fell into the grass and gathered into a group of horse thieves.

This is how the Khitan horse thief Zhu Jing met in Panshan came. It's just that Zhao Yue didn't know it at the time.

The chaos and fratricidal internal friction caused by the Liao State's repeated defeats, the disappointment and anger of the masses against the imperial court and the resulting frustration, pessimism and despair, and the resulting surrender to the Jin army and being willing to be slaves and servants were important factors in the demise of the huge Great Liao.

Otherwise, how could a large country established by a barbarian nation with a population of tens of millions and an army of millions be able to destroy the small Jurchen tribe with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

When Zhao Yue took advantage of the influx of refugees to transfer the horse thieves in Yanshan, Zhao Gonglian had already learned of the Bohai personnel change in time through the Northern Intelligence Network, contacted Qianning, Xin'an, and Jizhou in advance, and arranged for the horse thieves trained by the Cangbei Fourth Army who spent the winter at home to disperse and infiltrate Yanyun on foot as soon as possible. Separately recapture the cottage that was discovered and occupied by refugee horse thieves because of leaving, and get the war horse to become an official horse thief.

This. Zhao Gonglian focused the looting on the Yunzhou side.

There are a total of 20,000 Song army horse thieves, and they are not allowed to keep Song people's hair. All the bald Khitans dressed up, used the Khitans' scimitars and bows and arrows, and used gestures and specially learned Khitan dialect to make the robbers honestly hand over the horses and money to spare.

In the Yanshan Prefecture area near Xin'an, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, only 1,000 people were left in the mountains, and they were led by Xie Liang, the general of the Xin'an Army, Jia Shifang, the general of the Jizhou Army, and Hao Siwen, the head of the Qingzhou Army. This is to prevent Yanshan Mansion from alerting people in advance to taking the opportunity to make trouble and make horses, and to strengthen vigilance and patrols.

The remaining 17,000 people were sent to Yunzhou, led by Han Shizhong, Chen Fei, Jiao Ting, Zhao Xin, Liu Ziyu and other important Qingzhou generals, as well as Wang Shu, the general of the Qianning Army, and Sun Wu, the general of the Jizhou Army. Scattered in the mountains from Yunzhou to the jurisdiction of Yanshan Prefecture, pretending to be Khitans, plundering horses, weapons and money of southbound tribes, rout armies and local hackers and black tribes by means of nearby walking night raids or cavalry raids, etc., do not want bad horses, do not kill indiscriminately, do not rob cattle, only grab some sheep that are convenient to take away as food, do not rob and kill, so that the survivors think that they are not willing to kill their own people Khitan horse thieves.

The spoils of the west were passed the same. From west to east, one cottage after another was transferred, quietly converging in the mountains of Yanshanfu near Xin'an, Jizhou, and Cheongju, and the Song army horse thieves stationed here quietly completed the task of sending them back to China in batches.

The Yunzhou government knew that refugees were constantly being looted. But he also knew that almost all the tribes and refugees who went south were robbers and robbers, and they were not caught. According to the rule of law, if you don't grasp it, it doesn't matter, who can survive the migration along the way and settle down in the south depends on ability and luck.

The border was closed. Don't let the Great Song merchants bring the news back to the Great Song Dynasty, and try to avoid the Great Song Dynasty learning the details and laughing at the Great Liao for failing to resist the little Jurchen fiasco again. Even the ambition of uniting the Jurchens to divide the Great Liao was born, which also reduced the chances of the Song people taking advantage of the fire and robbery in the Liao State, but they were unable to control the situation in the territory and investigate the endless murder cases, so they could only close their eyes and let it go. When the refugees are settled, everything will naturally return to normal. I really didn't find out that it was a large number of Song troops who were pretending to be Khitans to commit crimes everywhere.

Zhao Gonglian's various careful arrangements well prevented the Liao State from detecting that the Song army was taking advantage of the fire to loot in time.

Yanshan Mansion also closed the border passes of the Great Song Dynasty, but the border army did not feel the threat and destruction of the Song army, and habitually believed that the cowardly Song army could defend the border and counterattack the invasion, but did not dare to take the initiative to provoke the Great Liao State.

The Khitan refugee wave caused more than just the Khitan people and the Erlongshan people, Tian Hu was much more arrogant than Chao Gai Wu, older than Chao Gai, mixed green forest Hei/Dao earlier, more experienced, no less courageous than Chao Gai, burned more than Chao Gai.

He sent someone to be stationed in Liaoguo for many years to observe the opportunity to get horses, and when he got the news of the refugee tide, he immediately laughed happily and shouted that the opportunity to get a large number of horses had come, and immediately sent two brothers, Tian Bao, Tian Biao, to lead a large number of elite cavalry to sneak across the border into the Yunzhou area on foot.

Tian Bao Tian Biao listened to the suggestions of Fang Xuedu and others, and the same method as the horse thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty army, they also took the form of hiding in the mountain to be a horse thief, which was convenient for them to settle down and steal and gather horse property and then transfer it back to China, and the main camp was in Mopan Mountain, which was close to Hebei.

They didn't know that the various camps and horses they had prepared in Yunzhou had already been clearly understood by the intelligence network of the Qingzhou Army.

Zhao Yue was digging the elite backbone of Erlong Mountain, cutting its momentum and cleverly holding down Chao Gai.

Before his younger brother used this method, Zhao Gonglian began to grab Tian Hu's elite and cavalry manpower at the beginning of the influx of Khitan refugees into Yanyun.

After the arrival of the refugees, the Cangbei horse thieves sneaked into Yunzhou before the arrival of the refugees, calmly arranged everything, and after the arrival of the refugees, they took the first step to eat the Khitan horse thieves including the cottage that occupied the Tianhu Department, abandoned the cottage of the Tianhu Department, and returned to their hiding place.

When it was detected that Tian Hubu had crossed the border and sneaked back to the cottage in large numbers, he also began to participate in the looting, and he was ignored at first. When Tian Leopard and Tian Biao tasted the benefits of being easy to get horses in the chaos, they began to go around and swallow up the harvest of Tian Hu's subordinates who scattered and stole wildly.

Tian Bao Tian Biao happily received batch after batch of horses in Mopan Mountain, and the opening period was very smooth.

But they wanted to send horses to the country, but they didn't have the convenience of the Cangbei Army.

The jurisdiction of Yunzhou Prefecture is mainly grazing, the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is more difficult to manage than Yanshan Mansion, which is mainly based on farming, and the public security is worse, and the situation is worse due to the wanton looting of horse thieves in Cangbei Army, and the Yunzhou government is unable to control the rebellion of refugees, and the army guards the official government station and does not have extra troops to control the territory, but it prevents the Song people, and the border pass is more strictly blocked, which restricts the sending of horses to the Song State.

What's worse is that the Song army on the opposite side of the border gate noticed the rapid inflow of horses recently, and immediately became excited, glared at the eyes and inspected diligently, strictly guarded the border pass, and did everything possible to plug the loopholes in the border defense, in order to intercept the horse dealers and make a fortune.

Tian Leopard Tian Biao brought a lot of people, but when he saw that the horses were easy to get, he suddenly turned red-eyed, and divided most of the main forces out to get horses, and the rest of the people who sent the horses were pitiful, and then they were heavily stuck at the border of the two countries, and some horses could not be sent back quickly, and the more they were collected in their hands.

They were anxious about this again, and sent someone to inform their brother urgently, but there were not enough manpower, and they could not send back the horses.

Tian Hu was overjoyed when he saw that the situation of the horse was really as good as he expected.

He developed early, and now gathered the troops collected from the cottages in Hebei, and began to attack from his hometown of Mizhou, attacking the city and breaking the house, occupying the city, establishing Wuwei as the ruling center, and sending the backbone generals to lead the troops to expand outward, divide the territory, and prepare to tear the soil and claim the king, the number of troops is five or six times more than Chao Gai's, and the cavalry reserve manpower is not comparable to Erlongshan, Tian Hu is bigger than Chao Gai.

Chao Gai repeatedly added oil, and it took more than 10,000 people to be sent three times, which drew out the middle and lower backbone forces of the Erlongshan Horse Riding Sect who practiced it.

Tian Hu sent his brothers 9,000 people to sneak into Yunzhou for the first time to loot, and sure enough, he quickly gathered a lot of horses and wealth, but he didn't know that these of his most elite riders and the backbone leaders of the team and the harvest that remained in the village have now been closely watched by the Cangbei horse thief army, and they are everywhere to infiltrate the cottage or mix into the temporary camp or the inn where these people are scattered and rush to the destination on the way to eat and lodge. Get rid of the dead friends who are loyal to Tian Hu, and swallow these hands little by little, and pass them away with the horses and belongings.

In the ecstasy, Tian Hu was more ambitious, with a greater appetite than Chao Gai, and wanted to become a fat man in one bite, trying to arm thousands of cavalry at once, crush the officers and soldiers in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, seize the territory more easily, and rapidly increase his strength.

He made a decision with a pat on his head, and dispatched his uncle's brothers He Ding and He Le from among the scarce generals who attacked the city and expanded the territory, and urgently brought 10,000 reserve riders to sneak into Yunzhou to support.
