Chapter 1404 The return is imminent, clear the hidden dangers

On the northeastern side of the Korean Peninsula, along the coast of Huining and Gyeongheung, which borders the Liaodong region, there are many felt tents standing under a foothill, and there is also a sparse mountain forest not far from the felt tents, which can be used by local tribesmen to cut wood for fire and draw water.

Although most of the inhabitants of the tribe here are dressed in rough animal robes, which seem to be more like primitive tribes who drink blood and hair, there are also people along the coast who either connect rafts or take wood to build ships, and their craftsmanship is also quite unique.

The Pulu Maoduo and other clans among the Jurchen tribes of the Liao Dynasty were different from other tribes that multiplied and grew in the white mountains and black waters, and were more good at hunting, husbandry, fishing and hunting, and were more famous for being good at shipbuilding. Although most of the Jurchen tribes have now gone to join the alliance of Wanyan Aguta, in the border land that originally bordered Goryeo in the Liao realm, there are also some tribes who would rather be the head of the chicken and not the queen of the ox and watch coldly.

It's just that with the growing strength of the Jin State, it is only a matter of time before the entire territory of the Liao Dynasty is annexed and replaced, and the mentality of the other few Jurchen tribes who are watching from the wall has also begun to waver, and they were just unwilling to bow to the Wanyan tribe before, but now it seems that the Jurchens can establish their own country, but they can teach the Khitan people who have enslaved and ruled them for generations to be untouchables.

Pu Liduo, the head of the Jurchen tribe born here, was holding the same idea, he was sitting in front of the tent in a beast jacket, and was watching three or two tribesmen slaughter and peel off a freshly skinned deer that was still steaming hot, and the women in the tribe were filling a stove pot with firewood, boiling the water in the pot. The people who peeled the venison had a match with the mothers-in-law of those tribesmen, and those who did not have a match laughed loudly in Jurchen language, even if there was a heart-rending cry from the felt tent not far away, they seemed to be accustomed to it.

Pu Liduo scolded when he heard the cry, and now there are only about 20 slaves left from Liaodong, Goryeo and other places, and the property and food that can be snatched are not as good as before. With seventy percent fewer tribes than even those who are still willing to inhabit the nearby area, they want to unite several clans to build fifty large ships and three thousand tribesmen to the sea, killing and plundering everywhere they pass, robbing thousands of slaves for trading and reselling...... How majestic was it then? However, according to the current situation, it is difficult for the few tribes that are still living in their original profession to regain the momentum of the Liao Dynasty, Goryeo, and Dongying Kingdoms.

Several Jurchen tribes in Linhai are good at shipbuilding, and in the early generations, they also offered the boatwrights of the tribe as tribute to the lord of the Liao Dynasty. Pu Liduo recalled that when his grandfather and great-grandfather were the most beautiful tribes of the Haikou, not only did they cross the ocean to Dongying Island to wreak havoc and plunder, swept Tsushima, Iki, Amami Islands, landed in Dongying Zhuqian, Chikugo, Satsuma and other coastal areas, and even went south to plunder Dengzhou and other places in the Song Kingdom, but the situation passed down from several generations is not as good as a year, and the border and coastal defense of Goryeo are more rigorous, and many nearby tribes have also responded to the call of Wanyan Aguta. Going north to go to the Jin State, according to the division of the households, he did a fierce battle to seek peace, Pu Li knew that with the strength of the current tribe, it was difficult to organize Yuanyang Kou to plunder the merchant ships.

Now the men and women who have been captive to the small corners of the border of Goryeo and Dongying are slaves, and it is not helpful to rob some necessities of life. Although the people of our department are not prosperous now, if it is about the art of shipbuilding, but there are enough mortals, it is also necessary to take my clan generation as the most. Now that the Jin Dynasty is bound to annex all the territory of Liaogou, it may also be necessary to use our tribe in water warfare, although it was previously unwilling to submit to his Wanyan tribe...... In the end, we still need to have a big country to rely on, and we will no longer have the same hardships as we do now, so why should we be afraid of Goryeo, the Liao State?

When Pu Liduo was thinking righteously, he suddenly heard the sound of a warning horn behind him, and he and many people around him immediately became vigilant, and there were more than 100 people in the felt tent who came out, and they were busy taking hunting bows and hanging on their shoulders, and taking pots and arrows to collapse, and then jumped on the war horse beside him, and quickly gathered together according to Pu Liduo's instructions.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and countless war horses suddenly poured out from the western mountain pass, and the group of military horses that suddenly came to attack were murderous, quickly forming a wedge-shaped formation, and galloping towards the felt tent located between the foothills and the seaside.

Suddenly, there were countless feathered arrows rushing up at night, and suddenly the Biao Jin rode with the method of riding and shooting, and shot a round of arrows with a bow, and countless arrows rained into the air, and then smashed down to Pu Liduo and other tribesmen.

Is it the official army of Goryeo? No, this group of enemies who suddenly came came was very skillful in riding bows and horses, look at the outfits of those guys...... But where did these Bohai and Khitan rangers come out of nowhere, and they come to attack us!?

Pu Liduo was horrified as if he noticed it, the overwhelming rain of arrows had already burst in, and the sound of a puff of arrows breaking through the wind shook people's eardrums painfully, and it was as sudden as rain, and when the Jurchen people who gathered here and were caught off guard looked up in horror, their bodies were almost covered by countless arrows that were as dense as rain!

The one who led this road of bows and horses and horses suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Jurchen tribe born here, but it was the four generals who said that they had faith, said that they were righteous, that they were the demons of Qiong, and that they were Aliqi.

Previously, when Xiao Tang was walking by sea, he accidentally bumped into the sentinel ship of the Haikou who went to plunder his own fleet without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and noticed that there were also tribes in the Jurchen tribes with many branches, and there were tribes who relied on water to draft and did Haikou work, and later investigated in detail, and knew that those tribes were proficient in shipbuilding technology, and it was also because after the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, which was relatively advanced and developed in shipbuilding and navigation technology, there were also tribesmen from the Wuja and other tribes who merged with the Jurchen tribes in the coastal areas, and there were records that the boat-builders were dedicated to the Liao Dynasty. To this day, there are still some tribes that have inherited the skills of building ships and sailing despite their primitive ecology.

However, according to the Liao generals such as Qiong Demon Nayan and Aliqi, although Wanyan Aguda unified most of the Jurchen tribes, when the Liao was invaded during important battles such as the Battle of Jiangning Prefecture, according to the negotiation of the Liao Guoyuan Interception Army, although the Jin Army and the Mabu Army were unstoppable, it seemed that they could only barely muster five or six thousand sailors, and the number of soldiers and ships was only hundreds. In addition to most of the clans who joined the Jin army in response to the call of the Agu Banda Wanyan tribe, there were also a small number of Jurchen tribes living in the coastal areas of northern Goryeo.

The Jin State was not known for water warfare, but since there were indeed some Jurchen clans who were good at shipbuilding, and had been accustomed to doing the work of the Haikou for generations, while they had not yet been protected by the Jin State, clearing these would become hidden dangers in the future, and they were within reach, this was the last battle that Xiao Tang planned to fight on this trip to the border of the Liao Dynasty.

Represented by the Jurchen tribe that was the leader of the Puli, the few remaining tribes that still made a living as pirates were scattered all over the place, and in order to avoid the arrest of the officials and soldiers, they were scattered into several strongholds on the nearby seashore. It was also Tuo Cui Muyuan who was once captured by the pirates, and was rescued by Xiao Tang when he was escorted around as a slave, even if he was vigilant because Xiao Tang occupied Baozhou and resisted by his own officials and soldiers, but if he wanted to clear out those pirates who harmed his country, Cui Muyuan and Xiao Tang hit it off in this regard.

According to Cui Muyuan's description of the location where he was detained, and later after being escorted onto the ship, he estimated the direction and date of sailing on the sea, Xiao Tang searched the surrounding area along the land and water, and roughly found out a few remaining Jurchen Haikou gathering territories, and then in addition to the Yan brothers and Yi Lacheng, Qiong Demon Nayan and other people, almost at the same time, the leaders of the Ma Army and the Navy Army gave orders according to Xiao Tang's orders, and the swarms rushed into various Haikou gathering places.
