Section 256 Sweep North 20

For Xiao Jiasui's crooked reasoning, Ye Luchun was half convinced, and he was still extremely resentful in his heart.

Oh, you pirates see that the Western Xia Kingdom is an eyesore, and if you want to forcibly clean it up, you will use my Great Liao Kingdom as a passage for me to bear all the huge consumption required for your expedition?

Bandit!

Robber logic, it's all damn bandit style......

He was so incomprehensible and so angry, but he didn't think about how they had harmed others with the ferocity of bandits during their long period of strength and invincibility.

The pirates weakened the Song State, destroyed the Great Xia Kingdom, damaged the Jin Kingdom, and only benefited the Liao State from it, for which Yeluchun would never be grateful.

Whether the pirates can completely eradicate the Great Xia Kingdom in one battle is still two words.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom is small but very strong, it is an old power that has been established for decades, it is quite profound, and its strength is not much worse than that of the Liao State, so it is not so easy to deal with.

Moreover, even if Great Xia is really destroyed, whether the Liao State benefits or not, and who in the Liao State will benefit in the end, it will be a matter for the future. People still have to look at the present.

The thing that made him finally feel that he had really benefited from it was that the pirates had killed all the pig-headed nobles, waste, and the pig-headed officials who were not loyal and had no real skills but were extremely shrewd and good at fighting in Yanjing City and the surrounding areas.

Without these people who specialize in competing for power and interests, and without these troubles and constraints that cannot be shaken off under normal circumstances, the rest are civil and military forces that can fight and are capable and easy to control and command, and in the future, the affairs of Yanshan Mansion will be much easier. Whether it is to deter the Southern Song Dynasty or strangle the Northern Jin Kingdom, it will be much easier.

What made Yeluchun resentful and shameful was that the pirates regarded this incident as a great contribution to the Liao State, saying that it was to kill the scum of the upper echelons of the Liao State to enhance the cohesion, centripetal force, and combat effectiveness of the Liao State. The hidden benefits of this are not small, and Liao must be grateful. It is also one of the justifications for robbing the Liao State to receive retribution.

Angry, Yeluchun sat on the front steps of the empty house, looking at the looted Yanjing City, scolding the heavens and the earth for more than an hour.

The pirates came suddenly, grabbed quickly, and went quickly, as if they came from the sky and flew away in the blink of an eye.

Ye Luchun didn't need to look at it and didn't think much to guess that the pirates had designated to attack and surround the Liao Emperor, who was just west of Yanjing. I'm afraid that Emperor Liao will be confused......

There were too many pirates this time, and the pirate cavalry who plundered Yanjing City were all gone, but only outside the city, you could still see the pirate soldiers everywhere who were black and oppressive, driving away the Liao prisoners, escorting and looting, and quickly left. I don't know where the pirates came from so many troops while looting the huge Song State, taking into account the looting of the Liao State.

Since the pirates are calculating, taking advantage of the weakness to think about robbing a ruthless, and with such a strong force, how can the Liao Emperor, who occupies the best and most wealth, escape.

But he didn't care about the life or death of Emperor Liao at the moment, and when he scolded enough, he was busy calculating how to deal with the big changes after the disaster.

Moreover, even if he had the heart, he could not rush in front of the pirates to warn the Liao Emperor to flee quickly.

it, love it.

Who should die and live, who should be unlucky or lucky, God has long been doomed. Right and wrong, good and evil, the gods are watching from heaven. If the emperor is blessed with good fortune and the gods, he will naturally be blessed to the point that his soul will foresee that danger will come and he will be able to escape this catastrophe. On the contrary, it is absurd and excessive, with too many sins, and if it loses the favor and protection of the gods, it deserves to suffer.

If you are unlucky, you will be unlucky;

If you want to be disgraced, you will be disgraced;

If you lose your majesty, you will lose everything;

If you want to sin, you will all be guilty;

If you want to die, you should be damned.

As the saying goes: it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. In the same way, if one person has difficulties, it is not as difficult as many people.

has suffered a lot, and no one is still in the mood or qualified to laugh at him King Yan, and no one dares to take the opportunity to fall into the well and calculate his status and power. His heart was also balanced.

In this way, the rest of the matter is easy to deal with.

On the other side,

Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi sensed the danger in advance.

He camped in the wilderness, with many drivers, just escorting the palace tent army there were 40,000 people, and because this time the bowl was actually entering the customs for refuge, then the palace concubine, the princess, the princess, the emperor and other people who stayed in the capital in the past can no longer stay in the city and wait for the very likely to be retaliated by the Jin army to kill and rob together, and they all have to follow the royal car. In the same way, those princes and nobles, central officials and their families and even entire families, as well as their slaves and servants must also follow.

Although Yelu Yanxi is mediocre and absurd, he is not confused about playing power like Zhao Ji, the king of the Song Dynasty, and the military power to protect the power and life is even tighter, because it is different from the national conditions of the Song State, it is not possible to set up the forbidden army in the capital to protect itself, so it attaches great importance to the palace tent army under direct control.

Originally, there were 100,000 people in the palace tent army, all of whom were elite, and the treatment, war horses, weapons and equipment and individual combat qualities were the top of the Liao Zheng army, and they were the strongest foundation to protect the emperor's authority and intimidate the world.

When the bowl is beaten, the army is in front of the guard, the people and horses are like a tide, the grass can be eaten by the war horses, the mighty cavalry is like a boundless dark cloud floating by, the sound of hooves is like thunder, the momentum is huge, it is not majestic and domineering and terrible, in the heyday and most awesome time before the Jurchen rebellion, the troops dispatched by the bowl have 200,000 people or even more. Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses paraded to the territory of the savage Jurchen and other lives that were not worthy of being seen by the Liao State or belonged to the restless and unfaithful races in the eyes of the Liao State, and extorted money along the way, and even directly burned, looted, and destroyed the past, using this as a kind of good game on the way to relieve boredom, and also a means of obtaining wealth and supplies on the way, by the way, weakening the population wealth potential of the dangerous elements under his rule, and using powerful and brutal and terrifying strength to deter all the fearful and honest people from lying in fear.

Nor can we blindly condemn the Liao State's ruling methods as too brutal and inhumane.

Nothing in humanity can be divorced from reality.

Everything is caused by reality.

You must know that those miscellaneous barbarian races are not good birds, they are all jackal-minded races formed by the empty and harsh living environment between the white mountains and black waters of the steppe and Gobi, or simply the savages who have no human civilization and have not yet been civilized.

To put it bluntly, the Liao State ruled the north, and if these ethnic groups were not ruthless enough, then these ethnic groups would rebel and make trouble from time to time. If, like the Confucian Song officials, they thought that they could be influenced by the perseverance of Confucius and Mencius, benevolence, compassion, education, and friendly help, then what they would get would only be that those ethnic groups did not know how to be fearful, and not only did they not know how to be grateful in return, but they would be greedy for the wealth of the ruling ethnic group, and in turn they would wait for the opportunity to murderously burn and loot the ruling ethnic group, attack the city, kill the officials, and even vainly try to occupy the territorial power.

The most fundamental contradiction is that what the barbarians need is not education, not civilized etiquette, friendly care, but real improvement of their own survival.

Without productive means, it is impossible to fundamentally change the difficult and even miserable living conditions of the barbarians, it is impossible for the barbarians to live in peace and happiness, it is impossible to rule the barbarians without being cruel, and it is impossible for the barbarians to really understand and abide by etiquette and shame. In their eyes, you, the ruler, are just a superfluous, damned one who presses down on their heads.

It is inevitable to repay kindness with revenge and repay virtue with resentment.

This bloody lesson was learned only during the long feudal dynasty, and the Chinese suffered enough losses.

How can the tiger and wolf be merciful and benevolent?

It is a pity that the Confucian and Han dynasties never learned a lesson, always stubbornly preached and attached importance to the benevolence and education of the barbarians to subdue them, and always looked at and dealt with the problem of the barbarians from the perspective of the quality and concept of their own people......

What we consider to be immoral and unruly commercial politics and other means, such as tariff barriers, is naturally regarded by foreigners as normal forms of competition, and has nothing to do with morality, immorality, faithfulness or unbelief. You don't understand, you don't understand, you can't accept it, that's your problem, it's that you're stupid and ridiculous and can't play.

We think that you are a civilized power and should have the civilized demeanor that we worship, how can you forcibly sell opium to make our Chinese money and harm our body and mind?

Foreigners naturally think: You are ignorant, you are backward, you are easy to bully and deceive, opium can make huge profits, it is convenient to play and worry-free, so I should sell it to you.

......

It was not until the reform and opening up that the Chinese continued to suffer all kinds of losses in viewing and coping with the world with their own concepts, experienced 30 years of losses and lessons, and gradually understood what foreigners and the world are like, and then gradually learned to use the concept of foreign foreigners or the world to view and deal with the problems of foreign foreigners or the world.

Thousands of years of bloody lessons!

How miserable! What a grievance! How helpless!

And the root cause of all this lies in the fact that the distorted Confucianism has been locked up for too long and has fooled our national spirit and concept of survival.

A gentleman must be, but he must no longer be a wishful fool to the outside world, and he must repay the other in his own way, let him suffer the consequences, and he must not be generous to the cruel object.

Straight to the point.

The Jurchen rebellion was successful, and Yelu Yanxi, the Liao Emperor, insisted on the traditional unsympathetic rule of the Jurchens, and the result was still useless, so there was no need to be so awesome now.

After repeated battles with the Jin army, not to mention the leather room army composed of noble subordinates, the palace tent army suffered heavy casualties in Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition, and then had to draw a strong army to strengthen and exterminate the Jin country, and the palace tent army suffered a lot of intermittent losses, and did not play the appearance of an elite ace strong army, and other miscellaneous Liao army was frightened by the Jin army, and was affected by the nobles who fled in the general lead, most of the shameful deaths were in the rout of the Jin army's indulgence in slaughter, and now only half of the 100,000 elites are tossed.

This half was survived by Yelu Yanxi's refusal to protect the throne and his own safety, and he was no longer willing or willing to resist the Jin Army.

This time, the troops of the country were gathered to try to destroy the Jin country in one fell swoop, and even though he felt that this battle was very certain, Yelu Yanxi did not send the palace tent army.

I'm so scared of death.

Hiding in the pass, thousands of miles away from the Jin country, no matter how much the Jin army wants to retaliate, it is impossible to ignore the military disaster of burning eyebrows in his hometown and go thousands of miles deep into the northern Liao hinterland outside the Great Wall that is almost no man's land and there is no supply, and there are obstacles to the Great Wall, and there are heavy guards at the passes of the Great Wall, and it is even more impossible for the Jin army to raid remotely to really enter the pass, and the Song State and the pirates do not feel that it is a threat, and the Western Xia does not dare to provoke the Liao State to fight from so far to Yanshan Mansion when the Song State has fallen down and the Liao State has become the overlord again. At this time, no one in the country had the strength or courage to threaten the Liao Emperor, and the soldiers all went to fight, but Yelu Yanxi still left 40,000 palace tent troops to protect him.

Because it was necessary to prevent the Jurchens from "encircling Wei to save Zhao" from entering the hinterland of the Liao State and wantonly destroying crops, pastures and important cities, and also in order to intercept the most precious spoils that the expeditionary force had seized in time and should be loyally dedicated to him, the supreme Liao Emperor, he sent the other 10,000 palace tent troops to Xiao Gan, the northern privy envoy stationed in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, who was responsible for unifying the command and receiving the soldiers and civilians and the achievements of the robbery from all walks of life in the north, and to block the possible in-depth invasion of the Jin army.

Xiao Gan is very capable, he is the pillar talent of the Liao State who is good at leading the army to fight at this time, and he is also the loyal minister and cadre trusted by Yelu Yanxi, so he is willing to transfer the palace tent army to use.

At this time, Zhongjing must have 30,000 elite soldiers stationed, either as usual, or 100,000 and 200,000 heavy troops to defend.

Xiao Gan thinks that no matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless, it is still impossible to hold Zhongjing, and it is easier to collapse without a fight if there are more soldiers, just like the time in Shangjing, Zhongjing will fall faster, and it is a good opportunity to score as many troops as possible to go out and harm the Jin State. The more soldiers who entered the Jin country, the worse the disaster caused to the Jin country, and the safer the Liao country was.

This idea is undoubtedly 100% wise and correct in the context of the Song, Xia, Jin, and Bohai countries, but it is a big mistake to not count pirates.

The camp of Yelu Yanxi was full of soldiers, officials, princes and nobles, men, women, and children, people, servants, medical officers, and slave coolies..... There are no less than 100,000 people of all kinds, not counting the tribal population of some of the major nobles who temporarily live in this area with their respective masters, plus war horses, livestock, grain and grass, and tents...... The core camp that formed a huge camp and was only guarded by the palace tent army had to be spread out for miles.

With so many such mixed populations living together, the excitement is lively, the weather is good, and the camp is full of carefree children's running and cheering, and young princes and grandchildren can find their own freedom, fun and joy in this strange but fresh, open and fun place. The barbarians are not as big as the rules of the Han Dynasty.

As for the adults, they are also in a very happy mood, and they are all smiling.

The Liao State has risen and become the hegemon again, the good days are coming again, and the two strong enemies in the north and south are weak, and the Liao State is more beautiful and comfortable. Can you still be in a bad mood?
