Chapter 409: The Danger of Great Qi

Gradually, Cui Wenqing relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Even if it is really a moment, you have led the ministers to do a lot of good things for the people of Daqi, and now the whole world can be said to be the country and the people, and it is rich!" ”

Chen Hong shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Cui Qing's family only knows one but doesn't know the other, our Great Qi Kingdom Tai Ming'an is true, but at present, the sixteen states of Yanyun are still in the hands of the Liao, just like the enemy sleeping under the couch with a knife, and in the northern Xinjiang, the rise of Western Xia is inevitable, the Li family has always coveted the land of my Hedong, and in the northwest, Tubo occupies the Hexi Corridor and looks down on my Guanzhong area, what is the situation in the Western Regions since the Tang Dynasty, my dynasty still doesn't know, and in the land of Jiangnan Dao, there are still Mingjiao demons ravaging, you talk about it, how can I feel at ease?" ”

Cui Wenqing was obviously aware of Chen Hong's slightly furrowed brows when he said these words, as well as the faint worry in his eyes, and knew that he must have a painful feeling about these, so he was so worried.

It seems that this young Emperor of Daqi should be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, has ideals and ambitions, and it is rumored that he has not been loved by the Empress Dowager Xie, which makes the Empress Dowager Xie have the heart of setting up another person as the emperor, which is really a pity.

After being silent for a while, Cui Wenqing spoke: "In fact, what the official family said is not the loss of the official family, but the disaster left by the chaos in the world in the last years of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong was slightly stunned, in his opinion, the current situation around Daqi is indeed very serious, but if it is said that it is in danger, it is obviously an exaggeration.

However, he believed that the person who could be valued by Wang Anshi would definitely not be a person without a purpose, so he asked for advice: "I don't know what the little Cui Qingjia said about the dangerous spiral nest, what does it mean? ”

Cui Wenqing slowly considered his words and said: "In fact, as far as Daqi is concerned, the world is peaceful, the officials are diligent in government, and the people are happy. ”

"Northern enemy, you mean Liao?" Chen Hong frowned.

Cui Wenqing replied: "Not only the Liao State, but also the Jurchens and Mongols further north. ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong was even more surprised: "Jurchen? You say that you are in the bitter cold land of eastern Liao, half farming and half hunting, and the Jurchen tribe is oppressed by the Liao people? ”

Cui Wenqing nodded and said, "Yes, Weichen is really talking about the Liaodong Jurchen clan." ”

Chen Hong looked at Cui Wenqing in a daze, but couldn't help laughing: "Little Cui Aiqing, those Jurchens you are talking about, but they were bullied by the Liao people and had no clothes and no food, what can they do to threaten our dynasty?" You are really ......" Speaking of the back, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and his interest in talking to Cui Wenqing was also greatly reduced.

Cui Wenqing was not embarrassed, but said in righteous words: "Official, in the Liaodong area, there is a very famous saying, called 'Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible'. ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong smiled suddenly, pondered for a while, and said with a dumb smile: "Is it invincible if the Jurchen is full of 10,000 people?" Says who? ”

Cui Wenqing said solemnly: "Liao State Taizu Yelu Abaoji. ”

Just like a thunderclap, Chen Hong instantly showed a shocked look, obviously a little unexpected.

Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji can be described as famous, even in the Central Plains, it is known to everyone, it is because of his unified Khitan tribes, so that the Khitan defeated the Tang army that came to quell the rebellion, thus establishing the Great Liao, is a well-deserved hero.

In the era before Cui Wenqing crossed over, the judgment about Jurchen was indeed what Yelu Abaoji said, but in this parallel world, Abaoji said that he had not said this, but Cui Wenqing did not know.

But he understood that it had been a hundred years since Yelu Abaoji passed away, and it was impossible to remember every word he had said clearly, and it was impossible for Chen Hong to go to verify it, so he said such words.

Chen Hong's expression gradually became solemn, and he said: "Little Cui Aiqing, please tell me the origin of this 'Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and ten thousand are invincible'?" ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, and narrated: "Back then, Yelu Abaoji merged with the Khitan tribes to establish the Liao State, and then went east to conquer the Bohai Sea and fought for more than 20 years before he could settle on Liaodong. In the land of Liaodong, the Jurchen, Bohai, Jian, and Goryeo are all the same species, at that time, because of the strength of the Khitan, the various departments jointly rejected the Liao, and the Jurchen had used 10,000 soldiers to help the battle between Goryeo and Abaoji, and frustrated its troops. Abaoji was shocked by the courage of the Jurchens, so he said this. ”

"Are the Jurchens really so powerful?" Chen Hong felt even more incredible when he heard this.

Speaking of which, the most recent decisive battle between Great Qi and Liao was the Battle of Lianghe twenty years ago.

In that battle, with 100,000 cavalry, the Liao State easily defeated the more than 200,000 troops that can almost be said to be the most elite in Daqi, so the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is deeply experienced by Daqi.

However, he didn't expect that in front of the Liao army with strong combat effectiveness, there was actually a sentence "The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible", which naturally shocked Chen Hong on the spot.

Cui Wenqing said: "The Jurchens are powerful, because they were born between the white mountains and black waters, the land is barren, the population is thin, and the top priority in front of the Jurchens is survival, therefore, the Jurchens have been brave since they were young, like to fight, endure hunger and hardship, ride horses across the cliffs like flying, the Jijiang River does not need boats, floating horses and cross, for a long time, the Jurchens have been resisting the invasion of Goryeo against their tribes, and after the establishment of the Liao people, they fought hard to resist the exploitation of the Liao State, It is precisely because of Yelu Abaoji's sentence that the Jurchen is invincible, so the Liao State has never let the number of adult men in the Jurchen tribes add up to more than 10,000. ”

"Then since there are not even 10,000 Jurchen men in the prime of life, why is it a problem?" Chen Hong asked.

Cui Wenqing said solemnly: "Official, as the saying goes, the embankment collapses in the anthill, the huge Liao State, there will eventually be a day of internal decay, maybe this day will be fast, the minister thinks that the rise of the Jurchen is only within these fifty years, and if there is no half of prevention, I am afraid that I will be caught off guard." ”

Cui Wenqing's words are not alarmist.

In the Song Dynasty before he traveled, it was during the reign of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, and the Jurchen tribes belonging to the Liao Dynasty were gradually unified.

Now in the world of Great Qi, Yelu Hongji has just ascended the throne, and I believe that the unification of the Jurchen clan is also imminent.
