The 260th swept north 24
Giving the Liao rice and salt, so that the Liao people have something to eat, can calmly face the great power disaster after the robbery, and naturally prevent the Liao State from going crazy and invading the Song State.
The pirates were going to destroy Western Xia. The threat to the western part of the Song Kingdom has disappeared, and you can focus on dealing with the Liao State with all your might, and the background and volume are there, and it is not really easy to deal with.
After the disaster, the Jin State will definitely try to take revenge on the Liao State in a crazy way.
Under the threat of this great enemy, as long as there is food to support, the upper echelons of the Liao State will never be afraid to risk fighting on both sides against the Jin State and the Song State to the death.
There is no food to support life, and the desperate southern invasion and occupation of the Song State is to fight for a way out of life and survive in death.
If you have food and do this, you are fighting against two strong enemies and many accomplices at the same time.
When you are weak, you have to seize it, and you have to be a weak person who is easy to deal with.
It's simple. The account is easy to calculate and understand.
Food can last until next year, and in order to survive and develop as nomads, the priority of the Liao State will only be to frantically extort and rob those Zahu tribes and obtain cattle, sheep, horses, and weapons.
It's safer, more secure, and more beneficial.
There are too many big tribes in the grassland that have actually betrayed the Liao State, and in recent years, they have played a little tax to the Liao State and paid taxes or even did not pay them at all, and the Jin State is courting them, although the Liao State is angry, they do not dare to force them too hard, lest these tribes be forced to simply join the side of the Jin State. These tribes have saved heavy taxes and tributes, and they have survived more and more safely and freely than before, and the livestock and property in their hands have accumulated more and more food, and the population has also prospered.
At this time, they did not realize that the Jurchens were more ferocious, terrifying and powerful than the Liao State, and they did not feel that the Jurchen small country was a catastrophe for many tribes in their steppe, and they all looked forward to the behemoth Liao State being tossed and entangled by the desperately rebellious Jurchen small country and declining step by step, no matter how strong they were, they could not take care of bullying and plundering them. The reason why they haven't invested in the camp of the Jin State, which has frequently shown favor to them, helped the little Jurchen to brazenly wield a war knife at the master Liao State, but the mercenary barbarian tribe must have been sitting leisurely on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
In other words, these tribes were the objects of the Liao State's long overdue lesson, and there was a huge Song State threatened in the past, and the Liao State was unable to distinguish its forces in passively dealing with the Jin army, and it was also powerless to subdue many Zahu tribes. Up to now, as long as he does not take the initiative to become a mortal enemy with the Song, the Song is not a big problem, and he has enough troops, in order to rob cattle, sheep, horses, and restore the nomadic capital and war potential of the Khitan, to loot and slaughter Zahu is just a good lesson for those who dare to betray, and also weaken the threat forces distributed in the territory and strengthen the integration of the rule.
The pirate empire just wanted to force the Liao State, as well as the Jin State, which was also in trouble by the Liao State but invaded the Liao State and could not get the supply of cattle, sheep and livestock, to plunder and kill Zahu.
Because compared with the Khitan and Jurchen, the many unruly and unruly barbaric and cunning tribes wandering in the vast Gobi steppe are more difficult to control, and inevitably more difficult to clean up, rectify and assimilate. If the pirate empire wants to purify and unify the East as quickly as possible, and if it wants to complete its goal at the lowest cost, it must take measures as soon as possible to clean up the mess with Liaojin's sword.
......
As for the rice given to the Liao country for nothing,
It was stored in large quantities on Jeju Island to be used as military rations for the capture of Goryeo, and it was prepared to be used to buy the people of Goryeo to accept the rule, but it was not used.
The vast majority of the men went to the Japanese country to share the wealth of food and clothing of the Japanese people bravely and gloriously. The vast majority of the remaining population, mainly women and children, were scattered and resettled in South Asia as third-class citizens along with the Song forbidden army captives captured by Zhao Yue, and they were all working hard to be loyal to the pirate state for survival and identity upgrades. The Northern Army easily captured Goryeo, and instead of fighting a war of attrition for many years, it ate up rice and military rations, but instead got endless Goryeo grain.
To be honest, the tropics have a geographical climate that is rich in rice, and the yield of three-season rice is high, but it really doesn't taste very good.
It's the old saying: it's not always the essence that is easy to get.
Rice is a good meal that everyone else can't hope for, but it's not so popular with the pirate army, who don't have to worry about eating. The soldiers ate rice, but preferred to eat wheat, corn, etc., which were resistant to hunger and had long strength.
In this way, the prepared mountains of rice cannot be consumed quickly. It takes a lot of trouble to store rice for a long time, and the rice is old rice again, and this time it is just free to stabilize the Liao State.
The pirate state's strategic planning has taken into account everything in detail in advance.
In the looting, in order to further weaken the Liao people's desperation and will to resist to the death, and in order to mobilize the Liao people who had to help the transfer under coercion, the soldiers of the Northern Army continued to preach in the looting: help is rewarded. In the transshipment, whoever behaves well and arrives at the destination of the riverside and seaside wharf will be rewarded with more rice and salt, and in the future, if the Liao State can't resist the Jurchens and the Khitan is about to perish, the pirate state will give priority to accepting him and saving his family from suffering.
The Liao people, who were robbers, were willing to believe the pirates' words at first.
You pirates are not bodhisattva gods who have mercy on life, otherwise you wouldn't be killing people and looting everywhere. You pirates are robbers.
What are you kidding?
You're here to rob us, and you're taking care of us at the same time? How can there be such a robber in the world?
For example, Jizhou stayed behind in Yelude, but he didn't believe it at all and scoffed at it.
In his fierce mood of hating the pirates for taking advantage of the fire to rob the Liao Kingdom, he hated the pirates even more for the deception of the robbers who fooled the robbers and helped the robbers.
Pirates are too greedy, and even more cunning and shameless.
How can there be such a demonic dark force in the world? How could the gods allow such an evil person to exist? Are the gods also blind?
I thought about it with extreme resentment, but I could only helplessly.
Who knows, after the pirates carried away the first batch of results, there were countless huge ships with the same might, and they really brought mountains of rice and salt, (in fact, they returned from the peninsula, and the empty ships planted rice by the way, but the Liao people didn't know that they thought that another pirate ship was also coming from the south), and really fulfilled the declaration of the previous promise.
This put Yelu Dezhong, Danzhou left behind in Liao, Langdong Immortal Wenrong...... Including the subsequent Yan King Yeluchun and others were completely confused, and they really couldn't understand the pirates' behavior.
But seeing that the Liao people who helped the pirates transfer the fruits under the butcher's knife did use their own carts, lele carts and other tools to pull rice and salt home freely, these Liao rulers had to believe that it was indeed the truth. Your sister, when a pirate is a robber, he still has the same faith as he did when he was a trader?
This seems like a good thing. Liao doesn't have to starve to death.
But when I thought about it deeply, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I am afraid that the pirates playing this hand will touch the Liao people too much and too deeply, and they have sacked the Liao State and made all the Liao people suffer, but they can erect a kind of prestige in the hearts of the Liao people.
The desire of the people is the survival of the country.
Pirates and robbery were the inability of the Liao rulers to protect their own people. The pirates took care of the food problem of the Liao people, but it was a kind of mercy, but the criminal robbery robbed the justice of human nature?
Then, if the Great Liao Kingdom really encounters a hurdle that cannot be overcome in the future, such as the real enemy of the Jin Kingdom, the pirates will beckon, and the Liao people who trust the pirates will have to follow with a bang......
The pirates really made a lot of money this robbery, and the wealth of the Liao Kingdom that the pirates looked at was probably all looted, and they also invisibly erected an invincible image and won the hearts of the robbed.
It's really scary to think about.
The ruler of the Liao State was not a fool, and he realized the potential harm, and since then he has planted a thorn of fear in his heart.
This will ferment in the future, leading to a great change that is different from history.
This was something that Zhao Yue, who strongly promoted all this, and the high-ranking officials of the Imperial and Northern Armies who led the robbery never expected.
This led to many twists and turns in the future to clean up the Jin country......
And for all the Liao people at the moment,
Rice is life. Salt is wealth, and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses can be exchanged for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses from the northwest and other inland Zahuna, which are more inconvenient to obtain salt and more eager to get salt......
In a national crisis, whoever controls more food and salt will be able to control more people, have more power and power, and have more and more weight to speak......
This is the most realistic and important issue in the rapidly changing national conditions of Liao.
And the angry and disappointed military hearts of the expeditionary soldiers after they returned, and the king of Yan and Yelu who were worried about how to sit firmly in the seat were all smart people, and quickly reacted from useless resentment and frustration, and completely bowed to the pirates, giving up the futile and even more obstructive and destructive thoughts that would lead to the pirates' murderous revenge and killing. Secretly ordered the remaining troops of the city and border guards who had nothing to do without weapons and equipment, as well as the reliable human incarnation of all the servants and servants who could mobilize and control them, and the people immediately took the initiative to join the operation to help the pirates transfer the results of the war, so as to compete for as much rice and salt as possible from the pirates.
At this time, they still did not have any objection to the absurdity and finally the absurdity of the Liao Emperor, but their political instinct drove them to snatch and control the resources of survival with all their might.
With the secret "active" cooperation that the rulers of various parts of the Liao State had to do, and the ordinary Liao people had to actively serve for survival, the efficiency of pirate robbery was amazing. What was supposed to be the most time-consuming, energy-consuming, and most difficult transfer work became smooth and easy. Countless livestock and belongings were quickly transported to the docks and loaded on ships to be transported away......
Of course, the people who returned quickly with the giant ship were more Liao people, for fear that they would have rice and salt that were suddenly gone.
It further proves that the pirates are true to their word, and the Liao State is more hopeful and active, which in turn further accelerates the efficiency of piracy looting and transshipment.
In the blink of an eye, everything can no longer be changed by the repentance of the ruler of Liao.
Everything has to bow to reality.
If the country is weak, it can only endure humiliation and steal life, and if it wants not to be wantonly slaughtered and destroyed, it must not only bow its head and submit to the robber country, but also think of doing some service and cooperation, and be like a traitor to please the robber country, so as not to provoke the robber country to ferociously wield the butcher's knife again and rob it more ruthlessly and thoroughly, and not only that, but also put forward more stringent long-term conditions.
The Liao people on the side of the Liao Emperor, who also did not believe in the pirate declaration, were forced to help the pirates escort the loot, and on the way they saw that the compatriots who returned first really got the food, they couldn't help but be shocked.
However, having food to earn and being able to survive is the most tangible motivation, and whether you are willing to help the pirates loot yourself or not, you can't help but be active...... They met and gathered with their equally unlucky compatriots who had come from Yunzhong Mansion farther away, driving huge cattle and pulling countless belongings, and gathered together, and rushed to the great river and sea to the east according to the pirate's command......
Interestingly,
The Cangzhao family invented a four-wheeled carriage that could load more goods, and manufactured and popularized this kind of car and more scientific and durable manpower flatbed carts in large quantities throughout the world, benefiting all strata of transportation problems from the country down to the merchants and farmers of the Song Kingdom.
And the Liao State, which had the generous help of many black-hearted merchants and traitorous bureaucrats in the Song State, also followed after the appearance of these means of transportation in the Song State.
The nomads moved here and that, the car was home, and they needed this kind of convenient tool more, and as a result, they even bought the Song merchants' own imitations, which became more popular, and as a result, in this pirate robbery, these are still called Lele cars in the Liao population to show that they do not recognize that they are the wisdom of the Song people, and the convenient means of transportation have also become the advantages of the pirate transfer results.
It's really not so easy to take advantage of.
Extremely hateful to the Cangzhao family, and at the same time trying to enjoy too many fruits of Cangzhao's wisdom and hard work such as cement, crops, etc., this kind of big bargain is not so easy to take advantage of.
As the saying goes, there is a fixed number of drinks and pecks.
Right and wrong, the cycle of cause and effect, everything will eventually be revealed unconsciously.
The Liao people don't know that the Cangzhao family, who is the most hostile to the Liao State and also benefits the Liao State the most, is the master of the pirates, and they never dreamed that Meizizi has enjoyed the great bargain of transportation for more than ten years in vain, but in the end, it is cheap, and the Cangzhao family quickly and conveniently sacked the Liao State.
This is a one-time repayment of the principal and interest owed by the Liao people to the Cangzhao family.
Sadly, the Liao people repaid everything but still didn't know how to repay it, and they didn't know who the master of the pirates was, and they didn't know who was the ultimate beneficiary.
Across the sea, the pirate state ruled in strict and efficient order, and won the support of the people, and the quality of the people was also high and the sense of prevention was strong. Regardless of the Western world, or the Eastern countries, and the various powerful underworld forces in the world with great thoughts, they can't know what the specific details of the pirate kingdom are, except for various legends that have been spread by pirates for a long time or intentionally spread by pirates, they almost don't know anything about the pirate kingdom, and they try their best to get into it and find out the pirates, and there are also people who can't go back and can't find the truth, let alone collapse the sea to deal with.
To this day, the Song Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, the Jurchen Kingdom, etc., including the Liao Kingdom, still think that the Pirate King is the Demon King of the Henghai who is incredibly powerful and vicious. After being robbed and scourged by pirates, they were all extremely resentful, and the one who cursed them was still the Yokokai Demon King who had already gone to hell.
