Chapter 613: Multiple Choice Questions in Yelu Yixin's Mind
Uguru took Wanyan to impeach Li Li in Ganqi's camp and walked everywhere, which was also Ganqi's intention to let Uguru do this, so that this Jurchen leader could see the power of the Great Song Dynasty, there were only benefits and no harms.
Looking at the prosperity of the armaments of the Great Song Dynasty, looking at the various advanced things of the Great Song Dynasty, and listening to what Uguru told him about the Great Song Dynasty, it will naturally bring a feeling of envy and worship to the people in the jungle of Wanyan Impeachment.
This feeling is under Gan Qi's theory that the Han and Jurchen are originally in the same vein, and it gives Wanyan a sense of fanaticism, which has an exclusive term in psychology called "convert's fanaticism".
The explanation is that in a cultural civilization or religion, the later converts are much more fanatical than the original people. There are also many practical examples, such as those who worship foreigners in later generations, often feel that "the moon of a foreign country is rounder than their own country" more than real foreigners, which is the fanatical mentality of converts.
This is Gan Qi's method of taking care of Yan's impeachment, in fact, this method is very useful, and it has also been used by people in later generations. This method also has a premise, that is, first of all, you must show a generous and tolerant mentality, not to treat others as barbarians, at least on the surface, not to treat others as barbarians, and to be on an equal footing with others.
In this era, the only one who can achieve this kind of mentality is Ganqi, but those Confucian scholars are born with a sense of cultural superiority, and they have always regarded this kind of people who drink blood as "barbarians".
When Wanyan Impeachment left, Gan Qi also went to send it in person, and he was very enthusiastic, and even gave some gifts to Wanyan Impeachment, salt, iron, grain, cloth, etc., so that Wanyan Impeachment fully felt the enthusiasm of the Heavenly Empire, and also fully felt the meticulous care from "relatives".
In this scene, it was not only Wanyan who was grateful, but also Uguru who followed Ganqi, after Wanyan left with Ganqi, Uguru had been in a good mood, and after saddleing up the horse beside Ganqi, his eyes looked at Ganqi with a more fanatical respect than ever.
Wanyan impeachment Li Cheng also went back with a mission, the task given by Gan Qi was to block the border of the jungle, and no Khitan was allowed to escape into the depths of the jungle again, but anyone who met the Khitan in the jungle would be intercepted and killed.
Wanyan Impeachment happily accepted this task, even if he didn't have Gan Qi's instructions, he would do it. Therefore, Wanyan impeached Li Cheng not only gladly accepted the task, but also offered to send five hundred Jurchen warriors to help Gan Qi fight.
Although Wanyan impeached Licheng knew that the five hundred Jurchens could not bring much substantial help to Gan Qi, what Wanyan impeached Lizhong thought in his heart was that his relatives were so good to him, he couldn't be too stingy, and he should repay one or two and do his best.
Between relatives, they have to exchange courtesies like this, not to mention that killing the Khitans is also the pursuit of revenge and hatred of the Jurchens.
After sending Yan off and leaving him off, Gan Qi began to set off for the north.
The battle situation has been clear and stable, the Eastern Route Army has besieged Liaoyang, and Di Yong in the west has also begun to besiege Linhuang Mansion, it is time for Gan Qi to move his commander forward to Linhuang Mansion.
Gan Qi didn't know what was happening in the Linhuang Mansion, and even the people in the Linhuang Mansion didn't know that their emperor was dead, and Yelu Yixin strictly blocked the news of his murder, so that the people in the city thought that the emperor was still in the palace and that he himself was the commander-in-chief of the whole army.
This kind of blockade obviously can't last long, because there are not only Yelu Yixin and military men in the city, but also countless Liao ministers and nobles, and it doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't see anyone for a day or two, if he doesn't see anyone for a long time, he will naturally not be able to hide from people.
It is impossible to do this for now, and Yelu Yixin can only do this. It's not that he didn't think about his immediate ascension to the throne, but the battle of life and death is just around the corner, and doing that usurpation at this time will avoid a big chaos in the city, and there will be no more chaos in the city.
Maintain it first, and then talk about it, and defeat the Song people, it's easy to say anything. If the Song people can't be defeated, then it doesn't matter whether they ascend the throne or not.
Yelu Yixin still wants to negotiate peace, not because Yelu Yixin is naΓ―ve, but because of his efforts as an old and serious person, no matter what, it is always necessary to try.
So Ganchi had just arrived at the front line, and the messenger of Yelu Yixin had already arrived.
For Gan Qi, it is obviously impossible to negotiate peace, so it is not for the people to play, and this battle must completely sweep the Liao State under the wheel of history.
So in the face of the messenger, Gan Qi said: "Let Yelu Yixin come out and see his true appearance!" β
The messenger could not, so he had to go back to the city.
In the city, Yelu Yixin was also having a headache, and the messenger's reply put him in a dilemma.
There are also military generals on the left and right who persuade Yelu Yixin: "Xianggong, don't go out of the city, this must be Song Gou's treacherous plan, Gan Qi now knows that my Daliao city defense depends on Xianggong, if Xianggong goes, Song Dog will kill Xianggong." β
"Yes, Xianggong, don't go out of the city to see you."
Yelu Yixin frowned, did not speak for a long time, in his mind, the best ending is nothing more than to agree to Gan Qi's request, and then linger for a while, first determine the northern jungle Jurchen, and then attack the grassland tribes, and make every effort to gather the army again. This is a road to the rise of the Liao people, and the Khitan ancestors in the past rose on this road.
After all, in the Liao State at this time, there are still 100,000 people in armor, and there is still the capital to rise.
Therefore, Yelu Yixin was willing to see Ganqi in his heart, because this is where the sincerity of the peace talks lies. But Yelu Yixin is also worried that he will not be able to come back once he goes.
Yelu Yixin thought for a long time, and said softly: "Gan Qiqi is a person from the Song Dynasty, a son of a sage, and he will not do such a thing. β
When he said this, in fact, Yelu Yixin himself did not have full confidence. Because he also knows that the survival of the Liao State is now on his own, because the emperor is dead.
"Xianggong, you must not be in danger, if Xianggong is wrong, I will wait......"
Yelu Yixin nodded, and said: "In the past, when I was defeated, Gan Qi could have killed me, but he put me back, thinking that he should not be that kind of person, the two countries will not fight each other, this is the rule of the Han people, it will not be like this." β
At this time, Yelu Yixin said this, not so much that he was convincing others, but that he was convincing himself. Gan Qi is a person, he is not familiar with it, but he seems to be somewhat familiar, he has fought on the battlefield, and he has heard a lot of things about Gan Qi.
It stands to reason that a Confucian champion, a famous Confucian of the Great Song Dynasty, and a man of outstanding literary talent, still let him go on the battlefield, and he would not do such villain things.
"Xianggong, my Daliao is safe, all of them are Xianggong, please think twice!"
Yelu Yixin said again: "Before, when the Western Xia sued for peace, the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia and the Son of Heaven both came out, but I didn't see Gan Qi taking the opportunity to make a move......"
As soon as these words came out, they were quieter left and right, and this sentence was somewhat convincing.
Yelu Yixin continued: "When I go to see him, it is where the sincerity lies, as long as I can tolerate a corner of the Khitan, there will be a day of resurgence." I want him Ganqi to know that my Khitan is a clan of iron, even if he Ganqi is more powerful, even if he Ganqi has a weapon in his hand, and wants to enter my Linhuang Mansion, the 200,000 Khitan people in my Linhuang Mansion will not be captured, and they will inevitably fight to the last person. He Ganqi should also cherish the lives of his corporaries, and he only has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and he doesn't want to lose too much in a war. So in between, there will be some room for manoeuvre. As long as I agree to the conditions put forward by Ganqi, there is still hope for the future rise of my Khitan. β
"But...... But ......"
Yelu Yixin knew what this "but" meant, so he said: "It's okay, Gan Qi didn't know that His Majesty was dead, and he didn't know that the whole army was all about me. As long as he doesn't know about this, Ganchi won't be able to kill me, the messenger. β
Yelu Yixin seemed to convince himself, and his mind was much firmer at this moment. The crowd said no more, but looked worried.
Yelu Yixin decided to go out of the city to see Ganqi, and immediately without further ado, he didn't even bring the guards around him, and he went out of the city alone, knowing that even if he brought the guards, it was meaningless, if Ganqi really wanted to do it, how many guards he brought would be just a gift.
In the tent of the barracks, Yelu Yixin saw Gan Qi and stepped forward to salute.
Gan Qi was not surprised, as if he guessed that Yelu Yixin would definitely come out to see him, but raised his hand and asked to be seated.
Yelu Yixin did not sit down immediately, but bowed down and saluted again: "Thank you Gan Xianggong for the grace of returning it in the past." β
This sentence is to ease the mood, but it is also effective, Gan Qi replied with a smile: "Yelu Xianggong is a lot older!" Already the temples are gray. β
Yelu Yixin also smiled, and then sat down and said: "The family and country are lost, and they are miserable every day, how can they not grow old." β
Gan Qi nodded, straight to the point: "I don't want to fight outside every day, I have a few beautiful wives and concubines at home, but I only have a pair of children, I have long wanted to live at home, today you and I will completely end this war." β
"That's what I mean." Yelu Yixin immediately replied.
"Tell me about it." Ganchi raised his hand.
"I, Khitan, would like to respect the Great Song Dynasty from generation to generation, go to the country, disarm the team, pay tribute every year, and only ask for a piece of the homeland to cultivate and live!" Jeruyisin got up and bowed again.
Gan Qi nodded silently, his eyes fixed on Yelu Yixin.
Dozens of generals in the tent are also staring at Gan Qi, all waiting for Gan Qi's final reply, in the hearts of many military generals, family and country affairs, naturally Gan Xianggong can decide with a word, Gan Xianggong can always think clearly about the pros and cons of these things, and they don't have to worry about it. If you want to fight, you will raise your head to fight, and if you want to make peace, you will fight and return home.
Yelu Yixin saw that Gan Qi was silent for a long time, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what Gan Xianggong wants, but please tell me, there is nothing to say about what can be done." β
Gan Qi finally spoke, and before he spoke, he sighed, "Alas...... Khitan Daliao, now you are the only one, it is not difficult for me to break the city, but how to deal with the millions of Khitan people in the north is a problem......"
"Gan Xianggong can send officials to the north, and we will respect the Song officials' control!" The city is full of Khitan people, and in today's situation, I really don't want to see them die on the battlefield one by one, and I ask Gan Xianggong to have mercy on the lives of the people. Yelu Yixin can really agree to any conditions, but he also brings a little threat, telling Gan Qi that the Khitans will definitely fight until the last drop of blood is drained.
It's not that Gan Qi can't hear this threatening word, nor is he unaware of it. Gan Qi never underestimated any ethnic group on Chinese soil, and he really believed that a large part of the Khitans would really fight to the death. In history, even when the Song Dynasty fell, there would be so many backbones who threw water to serve the country, not to mention the Khitan Liao State?
When the Khitans were destroyed by the Jin people in history, they were already decaying, but there were still a large number of people who really fought to the last drop of blood.
Cannons can break down city walls, but in the end, this war still has to be fought with human lives. The Khitan is not comparable to the party, first, there are fewer party members, there are more Khitan people, second, the Khitan is better than the party in terms of bravery, and third, the Khitan is not comparable to the party in terms of self-esteem, because the Khitan has also been the emperor of the Celestial Empire for a hundred years.
There is another question, that is, what should be done with the millions of Khitans that Gan Qi said? This problem is very troublesome, it is not that the war is won, the matter will be solved, there are too many lessons from the past in history, and the destruction of a nation and a country is not defeated or destroyed, but also has to face all kinds of counterattacks, and constantly rise up.
Gan Qi understands the reason, but the first step in front of him is to destroy the Liao State, so Gan Qi looked at him and asked fiercely: "Is the Khitan willing to migrate?" β
The easiest way to completely destroy a nation is to keep them together, and then it will take two or three generations to assimilate.
This is the bottom of the kettle.
When Yelu Yixin heard this, he immediately replied: "The homeland is difficult to leave, and Ganxianggong, not to mention millions of people, where can they migrate?" Where can there be so many Khitans? β
"You don't have to worry about this, just ask you if the Khitans are willing to migrate?" Gan Qi replied.
If it were in the past, there was really no place for so many Khitans. Because the population of the Great Song Dynasty has also reached its limit, the Khitan people have been scattered and migrated to various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, which is unrealistic, and there is no extra land to cultivate for them. Migrating the Khitans overseas is something that cannot be done, because if one is not good, these overseas Khitans will become enemies again. The Khitans had to be dispersed and allowed to be among the Han people.
But now, Ganqi has a place to settle these Khitans, because in the past, only land could settle the population. Nowadays it is different that people can be housed without land, such as factories, such as large-scale construction sites.
In the near future, factories will spring up everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, and what is needed is a large-scale labor force, not only the production of textile mills, but also shipyards......
Ganqi also had to invest in infrastructure construction on a large scale, build a road connecting the whole country, build various waterways and ditches, open mountains and pave roads, and dig the sea to build ports, all of which require huge manpower, and the Khitan people who died in the country are still "good quality and low price".
Millions of Khitan people can naturally be scattered and settled all over the country, and they can also earn a full living, so that they will not really be unable to live, and it seems that they will be done once and for all.
Yelu Yixin didn't know Ganqi's plans, and he was also frowning and pondering, he knew Ganqi's worries, and he was worried that the Khitans would have a recurrence in the future, so he wanted the Khitans to migrate. But where can millions of Khitans migrate?
Yelu Yixin frowned and pondered, wondering what Gan Qi was planning to do in his heart. If you really want to move millions of Khitans out of their homeland, then there must be a place to resettle, if the resettlement is not good, there is no place to feed, isn't Gan Qi asking for his own hardship? How can millions of Khitans not rise up?
In this Great Song Dynasty, where is there a place to accommodate millions of Khitans? In the past, the party had already been placed in the Hetao to open up wasteland and farm, but now where else can people be released? It's impossible to take the land of the Song people and give it to the Khitans, right?
Yelu Yixin couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "Does Gan Xianggong really want the Khitans to move out of their homeland?" β
Gan Qi nodded earnestly and stared at Yelu Yixin.
Yelu Yixin knew that Gan Qi had a saying that was true, it was not difficult to break the city. Yelu Yixin knew that this Linhuang Mansion City would be broken nine times out of ten, and he came here just to want that room for maneuver, and he didn't want to really fight in Linhuang Mansion to the last drop of blood.
But when things got to this point, Yelu Yixin's mind was a little messed up, and he moved all the Khitans out of his homeland? What does Ganchi raise?
Didn't Gan Qi think that in the near future, the Central Plains would be full of Khitans who would rise up and make a great effort?
Unveiling the rod and making a big splash?
Yelu Yixin was suddenly startled in his mind, and glanced north at the Linhuang Mansion at the end of his sight from the door of the big tent, and some thought seemed to burst out in his mind.
Is it a lonely fight to the death in this city at this time?
Or will it be in the near future that millions of Khitans who can't survive will ravage the Central Plains and fight to the death?
In Yelu Yixin's mind, there seemed to be a multiple-choice question suddenly.
(Why did Lao Zhu stop for more days?) Because he almost died suddenly...... You've been cursed a lot.................. Just kidding...... οΌ
