Chapter 316: The Emperor's Village That Pressed the Tiger Water
The large-scale construction of Jeju Island was in full swing under the auspices of Wu Yong and others, and at the same time, some gossip began to be secretly transmitted among Song, Liao, Gao, and other countries, and people everywhere said the legend of Jeju Island.
On the other side of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi was holding a letter of state, his eyes widened.
"Zhang Jianu, isn't this the letter of state that I asked you to hand over to those savages? How did you get it back? Are you afraid to see those wild people, or you can't do anything about them, so you come back on your own? Yelu Yanxi squinted at Yelu Zhangjianu who was standing below and said.
Yelu Zhang Jianu suddenly knelt down, lowered his head, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this... This is the letter of state that Aguda asked me to bring back, Your Majesty, please take a closer look, he changed his name. ”
Yelu Yanxi took a closer look, and sure enough, he found that his name and Wanyan Aguda's name were all reversed, and he angrily smashed the national letter on the head of Yelu Zhang's slave and said, "My national letter is to ask him to surrender, what does it mean for him to change his name?" Did he want Da Liao to surrender to his little Jurchen? ”
Yelu Zhang Jianu only felt that his heart was about to stop, but he still said, "Your Majesty. That.. That's what it means. ”
Yelu Yanxi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, covered his face and laughed, and laughed so much that tears came out.
The ministers below looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Wow, play, play with me such a trick, does he think I have no way to take him? Do you think that Da Liao has not increased his troops in the past few months because he is afraid of him? Yelu Yanxi only felt that his head was about to be blown up, and he patted the dragon chair and shouted, "How is the situation in Raozhou now?" It's been a few months, haven't you beaten it yet? The Jurchens can't be defeated, and the Bohai people can't be defeated, so what am I doing with raising you waste? Does it look good here? ”
"This..."Xiao Feng, who was a privy envoy, came out first and said, "Your Majesty, the rebellion in Raozhou has been surrounded by our army, but they still don't understand the time of day and stick to the stubborn resistance, Xiao Tao Su Wei is reorganizing the army, our army will still need some time, as for the Jurchen side... The minister suggested that he should continue to send envoys to contact, ease his heart, be proud of his ambition, and wait for Raozhou to be pacified, and then send a large army to sweep his country, capture his head, and slaughter his people, wouldn't it be quick? ”
Yelu Yanxi thought about that scene, and couldn't help but feel refreshed in his heart, waving his fist and saying, "Well, what you said also makes sense, okay, Zhang Jianu!" ”
Zhang Jianu sighed, looked at Yelu Yanxi, but his face was bitter, and then hurriedly looked at Xiao Fengxian with a look of longing.
Xiao Feng thought about the gold he collected first, and then came out and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Jianu has been there twice, but it is useless, I think it is better to change someone." ”
Yelu Yanxi thought about it for a while, and said, "What you said also makes sense, just Xiao Ci, you go and let those savages surrender." ”
"Huh?? Surrender??? Xiao Ci was stunned, then lowered his head and secretly complained.
- Press the tiger water
"My lord, when I arrived, I was pressed out of the tiger water in front, that is, where the royal court of the Jurchen tribe was located."
The guide wiped his sweat and said to Xiao Ci.
The northeast of the land of China has a characteristic, that is, it is very cold when it is cold, but it is also quite hot when it is hot, that is, because the annual heat is enough, the northeast of later generations will become the granary of China.
By this time, it was already June, and the weather was already hot.
Xiao Cijian looked around and found that there were farmland everywhere, and there were many people working in the fields, but he also found that many of the people who worked were not Jurchens, but Han and Khitan people, and of course, there were other races such as Bohai people, and he understood that these people were all captured in the last war. Xiao Ci thorn asked the guide, "How far is it?" ”
The guide looked around and said, "This is actually it." ”
Xiao Ci was stunned for a moment, looked at it too, and then asked, "Where is the city?" Where is their city? ”
The guide laughed and said, "My lord, you don't know, where are these people in a city, they are all tribes, they are camps, and when you get to the local adults, you will know, their so-called royal palace, is a few big houses, go, you can see it above." ”
As he spoke, the group walked for a while, and when they reached a small hill, the guide pointed down and said, "Look, my lord, the larger houses over there are what they call the palace, also known as the emperor's village." ”
Xiao Ci stabbed at it, and laughed out loud, "This is where they call the emperor to live?" It's not even as good as my family, and I think it's just a few more big houses than the villagers we saw on the road, so dare to call the emperor? I really don't know what to do. ”
Seeing that he was happy, the guide also smiled and pointed to the other side and said, "Over there is the place where Akuda and the sons of several brothers of his generation live, and the locals call it the Prince Village." ”
"Prince... Can the prince still have a village? Wowha! Xiao Ci stabbed and laughed completely, "Ah, hey, this is the funniest joke I've heard in the past few days, don't they know that there can only be one prince?" ”
The guide smiled and said, "It's not, and besides, the village that I passed by when I came here is where their country minister lives, so it's called the country minister's village, anyway, they've been like this all these years, and they're used to it." ”
Xiao Ci shook his head and said, "These lowly mountain and forest savages really make people laugh off their big teeth, it seems that the Jurchens are nothing more than that, I thought they were so powerful at first." Walk! Meet their leader, Aguta! ”
Xiao Ci's confidence suddenly swelled, in fact, this is very normal, this is a kind of self-confidence that comes from a high-level civilized background.
According to the situation of Hushui at this time, it is indeed not as good as the city of Liao, and the materials harvested in several wars were not used to build their own palaces or cities, but all of them were sealed, and the regulations could only be used for military purposes, and the house he lived in was just a house built of wood and earth, and its luxury, in the Song Kingdom, I am afraid that even a landlord was not as good, and the only decoration was that the house was surrounded by willow trees, which was probably the most shabby imperial city in the entire East Asian country.
"Get out, get out, you doll, this is the palace where Lord Akuta lives, not a place for you to herd cattle, get out quickly!"
Xiao Ci walked to the palace of Akuta and saw a guard pulling a cow, and the cow was walking towards the willow tree with deep affection, to eat the willow leaves.
"This cow wants to eat, where can I care, can't you stop it? It would be nice to just let him eat enough. "The cowherd baby was reluctant to pull the cow, but felt that the guards were meddling.
Xiao Ci shook his head again and again, and then he saw a few women drying things in the courtyard, and said with a smile, "All the palace maids who are beaten by Ah Gu look like this?" Five big and three coarse... It's a wild man. ”
"That's... My lord, these are the wives and concubines of Aguta. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Ci looked at the woman dressed simply, she didn't want to speak, and her heart became even more disdainful.
At this time, the Jurchens did not have any Han culture in the form of monarchs and ministers, nor did they have any etiquette and rank, and if there was anything on weekdays, Ah Guta sat with other people to discuss ideas, and after finishing speaking, they sang and danced together around the fire, and even became happy, and they would also catch a bunch of female slaves to rape silver together for fun, regardless of father, son and uncle.
However, because the Jurchens are still in the stage of primitive society, they are also gathered in the military by war, scattered by peace, bartered economically, and have no concept of money and currency at all, so according to Hushui, it is just the political center of the Jurchens, and it is barely said to be a military center, as for the cultural and economic center... Sorry, the Jurchens don't have this yet.
"My Majesty's will is for you to surrender immediately, and there will be no more unrealistic hopes, you don't even have a decent house, and you want to fight with us Da Liao, it's really unbelievable!" Xiao Ci straightened his waist and said to Ah Guda and many Jurchen leaders, and after speaking, his face was disdainful.
"Let's surrender at once???" Ah Gu rubbed his head and said, "Wu begging, did I drink a little too much yesterday, I knew that I shouldn't be greedy for a cup, why is it a little dizzy, I can't understand what the Liao people are saying, this... You translate it, is that what he meant? ”
Wu Qimai snorted and said, "Your Majesty, that's what he meant, Your Majesty, I don't know if the Liao people thought they had won the previous battles, and they were still so arrogant!" Last time, it seemed that we asked the messenger to pass it on, but they didn't understand it. ”
Ah Gu took a breath and said, "I understand, these envoys don't know how to pass on the word, I said that the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, it's not troublesome for you to come and go like this, I don't think you should leave, just stay with us, and let your entourage go back with our national letter." ”
"What? I stay? Xiao Ci's eyes widened, he looked at this so-called palace, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly said, "Ah Guta, this can't be done, I am an envoy of the Liao State, I have to go back to restore my life, and... And the two countries have fellowship, and they don't withhold it, you.. You can't do that. ”
Ah Gu stroked his beard and smiled, "I am the emperor here, what can I not do, by the way, I remembered, that year, Yelu Yanxi asked me to dance to show him, and now I also want you to dance for me, give me a dance immediately!" ”
"Jump!"
"Hurry up and jump!!"
"If you don't jump, I'll eat you raw!"
The generals of the Jin Kingdom on the side glared at him angrily, and a few of them even pulled out their knives in a hurry, so frightened that Xiao Ci stabbed back again and again, and slowly nodded and said, "Okay.. I.. I'll jump, don't be impulsive."
Looking at Xiao Ci who was dancing slowly, Ah Gu Da and the others laughed, Ah Gu slapped his hands and said, "I only now understand why Yelu Yanxi likes to let people dance so much to show him, it's really fun, but your guy is too ugly to dance, I think, you still have to dance Yelu Yanxi to look good, take it down, take it down, and take care of it strictly!" ”
"Yes!"
After waiting for the others to go down, Wu Qimai said to Ah Guta, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Liao people really can't take a move against us at once, and the information that those Song people told us is right." ”
Ah Gu touched his chin and said, "The Song people are thousands of miles away, and they can know better than us what the Liao people are doing, I think we will also strengthen the intelligence collection of the Liao people in the future, but if the Liao people don't come today, it doesn't mean that they will never come, Yelu Yanxi has a strong personality, he will definitely not do this, he will definitely send a large army to attack me again." ”
"Come on, I'm afraid of him!"
"That is, one comes, one dies, two comes, two die!"
Since the battle of the ancient city of Dalu, the Jurchens have no fear of the Liao people, but they can't wait to fight the Liao people, after all, the gains obtained after the last battle have made everyone blush.
"Gather everyone immediately and prepare for the meeting, I think we need to prepare." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that everyone is quite scattered, and I'm afraid it will take a few days before they can be gathered." Wu Qimai said.
Ah Guda scratched his head and said, "This won't work, there is really something big, and it will delay things if it goes on like this." ”
According to the original Jurchen system, when encountering a real event, it is necessary to gather all the elders to participate, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and Aguta decided to change this situation, so he said, "We must change this situation immediately..."
- July
In order to centralize power, Aguta formulated a new Bo Ji Lie system, with his younger brother Wu Qimai as the best Ban Bo Jilie, this position is the most noble, according to the Jurchen brother and the tradition of the dead brother, that is, Wu Qimai became the heir to the throne, the state minister changed to the national theory Bo Jilie, the resignation is not a bad word for Amai Bo Jilie, and the younger brother is also the national theory Wu Bo Jilie. All state affairs came from the hands of these people, and this system became a national system of the Jin country.
"Good wine!" Ah Gu snorted, exhaled a long breath, and said to Duan Jingzhu opposite, "You Song people actually like to drink such strong wine, it's really rare, I like it!" ”
Wu Qimai, who was next to him, was wearing silk clothes, and said with a smile, "Yes, you Han people are skillful, and most of the craftsmen in our tribe are you Han people." ”
Lu Zhishen clenched his fists when he heard this, of course he knew what the identity and status of these Han craftsmen were.
Duan Jingzhu lightly pressed Lu Zhishen, and then said, "Our host asked us to bring his greetings to the wolf lord, and this time we also brought some books, which are the Buddhism and Taoism of our Song people, if the wolf lord is interested, you can also read it." ”
"What do you say about the Dharma and the Dao?" Aguda asked.
"Buddhism persuades people to be good, and Taoism removes the false and retains the true, one for the sake of future lives, and the other for eternal life." Duan Jingzhu introduced.
"Immortality? What do you mean? Wu Qimai asked, "I have only heard of the Immortal Heaven, can people also live forever?" ”
Duan Jingzhu nodded and said, "There are indeed people among us Han people who cultivate the Tao and live for hundreds or even hundreds of years. ”
"Oh? It's something you can learn. Ah Gu said with a smile, probably every emperor will be more or less interested in the topic of immortality in the end.
After some gossip and starting to get down to business, Duan Jingzhu said, "Wolf master, this time we brought a thousand jars of wine, a thousand horses of silk, two thousand horses of linen, ten glass mirrors, five thousand stones of grain, and countless other iron pots, needles and threads, books, etc., I don't know if the wolf lord bought all of them or some of them?" ”
