Chapter 563: Liaobei Raiders 1

The Chinese army acted on two routes at the same time, and the Northern Raiders Group set out from Shenzhou on May 15, first divided into two routes, one of which was led by Feng Sanhu, and went directly north, going out of Tieling and Anlezhou, and then crossing the Bald River and Yimi River, and heading to the area of the Songhua River.

The other route was personally commanded by Xu Shiyang, and after starting from Shenzhou, he crossed Fushun and entered the Salhu generation, where he planned to sweep all the Jurchen tribes of the Hunhe and Taizihe generations, and then either surrender and rebel or sweep by force, all the way to the vicinity of the Songhua River to join Feng Sanhu.

This process is estimated to continue until the arrival of winter, and then take advantage of the opportunity to use the sled cart and the enemy to fall into the White Plague on a snowy day, and launch a final general attack on Wanyan Zonggan.

Solve Yan Zonggan before the end of the year.

In early June, Xu Shiyang led his army to the Hunhe River.

This was once the place where the last Han dynasty in another time and space suffered a serious setback, and tens of thousands of Han sons and daughters were bathed in blood and dust.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang had an inexplicable feeling about this place—even though he knew that there were not many similarities between the two planes.

However, Xu Shiyang now has the capital to act wantonly, so he can just do it according to his own ideas.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Xu Shiyang ordered all the leaders of the Jurchen tribes near the Hunhe River and the Taizi River to go to the Chinese army garrison to express their allegiance to him.

He only gave the nearby Jurchen tribe five days, and once the time limit of the tenth day of the sixth month passed, all the tribes that did not arrive were counted as enemies.

The deterrent effect of Huaxia is still very strong, and when the time limit arrives on the tenth day of June, there are more than 300 representatives of large and small tribes in the surrounding areas, the largest of them has thousands of mouths, and the weakest is only 30 households, and I don't know where such a small tribe heard the news of Xu Shiyang's conference.

Xu Shiyang ordered people to roughly count that the largest of these tribes were mature women who split from the Jin State after the Liaoshen Campaign.

However, there are more female births in small tribes.

Regardless of whether it is raw or cooked, Xu Shiyang put forward a straightforward request to all the tribal representatives: each tribe draws two out of three, one strong man brings his own weapons and grain, and follows the army to the north, and the other strong man acts as an auxiliary soldier responsible for supply and transportation.

As soon as this request was spoken, the meeting scene was immediately filled with mourning, and all the tribal chiefs said that it was too much, and it was summer, and the Jurchens also had to plant some millet and expect to harvest some grain.

In addition, hunting, fishing, and digging mountain ginseng all require a lot of labor support, and at this time, unless the Chinese court is willing to give some money and food, the tribe will be seriously weakened.

However, Xu Shiyang came this time to weaken them, so the crown prince of Huaxia was unmoved, neither supported the money and food, nor did he allow any discount on the extreme mobilization of three dings and two of them.

His reason is very simple - when the Jin State ruled here, they swept the floor as soldiers, and all tribes over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 men had to bring their own weapons, armor, and food to serve the Great Khan of the Jin State, Xu Shiyang was just two out of three, which was much gentler than the original Wanyan Jin State.

Of course, sending troops is not completely without benefits, and in this expedition, the spoils obtained by each ministry only need to hand over one-third to the empire, and the rest can be kept by themselves.

In this regard, the Huaxia Empire was also more generous than the Wanyan family at the beginning, and at that time, it would be good if they could leave one-third of the spoils of each department.

According to the schedule, Xu Shiyang still only gave the tribal chiefs five days, and when the time comes, the tribes that cannot complete the mobilization will be regarded as disobeying the order.

Think for yourself about the consequences.

The tribal chiefs left in frustration, and they only stayed in Xu Shiyang's camp for half a day, because the time given by Xu Shiyang was too short.

As soon as they left, Xu Shiyang sent troops to attack the tribes that did not come to the meeting.

……

The seventh day of June 1791.

It was a small tribe called the Arakbe, and like most of the small Jurchen tribes, they didn't know which ethnic group they belonged to.

A long time ago, they claimed to be the people of the forest, and when the Wanyan Jin Kingdom ruled this place, they were counted as one of Sauron's branches, and they had no way to refute and did not want to refute it, so it was decided that they were Sauronians.

The scale of this Sauron tribe is very small, there are only 80 households in total, 220 people in Dingkou and Banding, about 300 women and children, there are basically no old people, only a few shamans are relatively old.

Because for the tribes living in the mountains and forests, the old people are of no use and can only waste food.

To tell the truth, this is a cruel natural decision, and they really can't be blamed for being unfilial.

Moreover, the Imperial army will not crusade against the Yi people because of their unfilial piety - they don't need a reason to crusade against the Yi people at all.

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, the tribesmen are already up.

The men began to inspect bows and arrows and javelins, while the women were responsible for lighting the fire and cooking—there were no blacksmiths in the tribe, and the only large iron pots were two, one belonging to the tribal chief and the other communal.

The women of the tribe took turns cooking a little bit of millet cheese in this pot as the staple food of most people - women and children had no meat to eat, and only men who had to chase prey and fight with bears and wild boars had to share some meat every day.

They are the core of a tribe.

Traditionally, the men should have taken their day's rations and weapons and went hunting deep into the forest.

However, the only shaman in the tribe today always felt uneasy, and he yelled to prevent the men from going out, and asked everyone to be vigilant to prevent people from outside the mountains from invading.

The young tribal chief was a little unimpressed by this—the outsiders who would come to the tribe in the past were basically only the masters of Dajin who were responsible for collecting taxes and conscripting troops.

Now that Dajin is gone, who else will have nothing to do and run into this old forest to find trouble for them

In fact, this was the reason why the tribal chief did not go to Xu Shiyang's camp for a meeting - he thoughtlessly that the Han people would not go deep into the mountains and forests to find them.

It's really inexplicable.

The little tribe of Sauron is about to pay the price for this mistake, and there will never be a chance to correct it.

Just as the tribal chief was about to push away the shaman who was in the way and was about to forcibly lead the people out to hunt, a few sharp-eyed old hunters suddenly saw many red figures flashing in the forest not far from the tribe's fence.

The Tribal Leader was also one of the top hunters in the Sauron Tribe, and he was now in his thirties, at the peak of his physical strength and experience, so he was one of the first Saurons to see and realize that this was an enemy attack.

"It's an outsider!"

The tribal chief shouted frantically:

"The woman and the child hid in the house! Men, take up arms! ”

The tiny tribe boiled over in an instant.
