Chapter 400: The Handwriting of the Han Chinese
Fengzhou, a city that did not exist in later generations, is located to the east of Inner Mongolia Hu City, but now it is the former Liaoning South Road Recruitment Division is the military and political center.
The Khitans lost their supremacy, and the new king had just been on the throne for less than two years, and he was about to give up this place to the Dangxiang people, but the soldiers and horses of the Dangxiang people had not yet arrived, and the Yanwang army that entered Xijing drove all the way into Fengzhou City.
The Jurchens fled. The Han'er of Xijing Road, as well as the Khitans, Xi people, and divination people, are not interested in giving their lives to the Yan clan again, and each one surrenders faster than the other.
Zhang Hao easily led his soldiers to rescue his father, and then Geng Shouzhong, the former Liao general, also led his troops to surrender, and the battle of Datong was bloodless at all.
The party members seemed to have forgotten that Tiandezhou, Yunnei, Fengzhou and other places had been ceded to them by the Jurchens, and they didn't dare to say a word about Yan Wangjun who had entered the territory of the Southwest Road Recruitment Division. Instead, they gathered heavy troops at the border, lest the Yan Wang army enter in one go.
Zong Ze appeared in Fengzhou as a left-behind guard in Xijing. Before Zhao Gou summoned the Mo Ge lost troops and the Divination tribes of the Monan grassland, he had to first issue a conscription to the grassland tribes south of Yinshan.
There are also Mo Ge lost people here, the latter is traced back to the original restoration, and it is also a branch of the Dadan Department, as well as the Yinshan Wei Room and the Bai Dadan people.
The Wei people and the Khitan people have a close relationship, the south is the Khitan, and the north is the Murwei, and the two are the same clan in a sense. But after being divided for hundreds of years, it is said that it is the same sect, but in fact, the Yinshan Wei Room can only have some inconspicuous small advantages in the hands of the Khitans.
On the contrary, the Mengwu Wei Chamber, the Menggu Zhubu and the Divination Blockers in Mobei have a closer relationship with the Wei people in terms of blood. And the Bai Dadan people in the north and south of Yinshan are even more straightforward, in short, they are a group of Caucasians, and in later generations in the Mengyuan Dynasty, they were even divided into the list of Semu people by the Mongols. Although the Bai Dadan people at that time had already become the Wang Gu Department.
Skipping the gossip, I only said that the tribes that Zong Ze is facing at the moment, in addition to the Yinshan Wei Mur, the Mo Ge Lost and the Bai Dadan people, there are still some Khitan people here.
The rule of the Liao State in this land has been overthrown, but this does not mean that the Khitans are extinct.
In fact, they simply surrendered to the Jurchens.
You must know that ordinary Khitan people do not have surnames, and the only surnames belonging to the Khitan people are Yelu and Xiao. It's inconceivable that a million-dollar nation should have only two surnames, but it's a fact. Including the Shulu clan represented by the famous Empress Shuluping in Khitan history, it is another big family in addition to the Yaolin clan and the Shenmi clan. The Shulu clan originated from the Uighurs and was a new family before the founding of the Khitan state. After the family continued to grow and develop, the descendants were gradually Khitanized, and later they were given the surname Xiao.
Ordinary Khitan people have no surnames at all, and their education level is also very low, which is completely different from the generally Sinicized Khitan aristocracy. And such Khitans, to be honest, are really easy to assimilate.
If you don't believe it, look at the history of the original time and space, and when the Mongols rise, the eighth grandson of Yelu Bei, the king of Liaodong Dan, and the son of Yelu Chucai, the right son of the Jin Dynasty Shangshu, can still become the tide of the times, but what about the Khitan nation? It has long been swallowed up by the tide of history.
The life of the Khitan people under the rule of the Jurchens was quite difficult, whether it was taxes or military service, it was much harsher than in the Khitan period. And when they were plagued in winter, the Jurchens never looked at them more.
As mentioned earlier, the communication between the two Song Dynasties coincided with the Xiaoice River period, and the winter on the grassland was very cold. Even in the south of Yinshan, the temperature is much warmer than that in the north of Shanshan, which is only relative.
After the Zongze people arrived in Fengzhou, they immediately sent out messengers one by one, telling the leaders of the various departments, that is, the envoys of the various ministries to come to Fengzhou to gather. It was a candle in the night, and it was so eye-catching.
No one is going to deliberately delay time.
Not to mention that the Han people had already defeated the Jurchens and became the rulers here. Let's just say that this Zongze represents the Han people, which gives these leaders endless hope.
Compared with the Jurchens who popped out of the white mountains and black waters, in their eyes, the Han people represented gentleness and wealth.
What's more, Zong Ze is still the newly appointed Xijing stay, as the people under their rule, they have suffered, so don't they have to complain to their parents?
"The king is benevolent and loves the people, the king of the northern expedition to Yanyun, the army has passed, and there is no crime in the autumn. This is the proof of this. ”
Zong Ze smiled very amiably at the group of festival envoys sitting in the hall.
"If you can respond to the call of this official, it means that your generation already has dignity and humility in their hearts, and they have the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty, so that it is my Great Song people, whether it is the official or the king, how can you ignore the suffering of you?"
Zong Ze opened his mouth and reassured everyone, there are really some of these tribes whose situation is really bad, which can be seen from the clothes and complexions of the pro-soldiers led by these festival envoys.
So he didn't pretend to be vain, and immediately took out the details of the 'relief'.
The total of 10,000 stone of compressed military rations was swept away with a wave of his hand.
Just asked the leaders to be grateful to Dade, but there were also some monks who were confused.
"The king is merciful, and my generation is grateful. It's just ......, what is this compressed military ration? "They've never heard of compressed rations.
Zong Ze continued to have a good temper, "Don't think about it, this military food is a first-class dry food." As long as half a catty, you can see that a husband is full. ”
As he spoke, he asked for the things that had been prepared in advance to be brought to him.
One by one, the soldiers stepped forward with wooden plates, and there were bowls and plates inside, and the bowls were full of batter, although the color looked a little black. And on the plate was a palm-sized piece of bread.
"This thing is compressed military rations, and the batter in the bowl is boiled from a piece of military rations."
"This military ration looks plain, but it is filled with salt, fat, meat sauce, and meat powder, which is a strong man in the army, and he can receive three yuan a day." Although the lump of dry food is as hard as a stone now, and it rings loudly on the table, and there is that knot, which makes it impossible to bite it, it is really a good thing.
Although the fat is mostly fish oil, the meat sauce is shrimp paste made from small fish and shrimp, and the meat meal is also a powder made from sun-dried large fish and small fish, rather than meat oil, beef and mutton.
However, even so, there is still a certain amount of 'oil and water' in this compressed military ration, and there is more salt, which may be much more filling than pure batter.
Yelut picked up the bowl and ate it, the life of his subordinates was already very hard, so he didn't care whether what Zong Ze said was right or not. That thing is no longer a thing, and it is food, isn't it? Eating the bowl yourself is a matter of attitude.
But when he ate half of the bowl of batter, he was surprised to find that he was really a little full.
The compressed military rations are beaten out with a hydraulic forging hammer on the seaside, and a small piece weighs half a catty, which can boil a large bowl of thick batter, and ordinary soldiers can only have a bowl of it. Now that he's eaten half a bowl, how can he not be full?
Yelu is a Khitan nobleman, and no matter how difficult the tribe is, he will not be cold and starving.
It was not only Yelu who felt the extraordinariness of compressing dry food, but the leaders here all felt the extraordinaryness of this thing, which was really as the patriarch said, but it was indeed very burdensome.
I don't know how many people's faces are blooming.
10,000 stone is 1 million catties, and half a catty of dry food can make a strong man full, which means that at the critical moment, half a catty of dry food can make a herdsman last for a day.
This relief is clearly said to be 10,000 stones, but in fact it can be used as 20,000 or 30,000 stones. Not to mention that this is still a 'meeting gift' for the Han people!
All of you know the significance of this note. As long as they are obedient, the Han people are generous.
