Born Jurchen and mature Jurchen are not immutable, sometimes the mature Nuzhen is unbearable to the oppression of the Khitan people to rebel, and after the defeat of the army, they flee back to the mountains, and they become Jurchen, and some Jurchen for various reasons to take refuge in the Khitans, they become mature Jurchen, such as Wanyan Wugunai, the grandfather of Wanyan Aguta, the founding emperor of the Jin State, is from the birth of Jurchen to the Liao State, thus becoming a mature Jurchen, and also with the power of the Liao State, the Wanyan Department became stronger and stronger, laying the foundation for the future overthrow of the Liao State.

However, now Wanyan Aguta has not yet been born, and even his grandfather Wanyan Wugunai is now just a child, far from the time when Wanyan rises, and the Jurchens in this period can be described as very miserable, their numbers are not as good as the Han people, and unlike the Han people who can help the Khitans rule the country, so in the eyes of the Khitans, the Jurchens are actually the more troublesome barbarians in the north.

In order to rule the Jurchens, the Khitans turned some of the Jurchens into mature Jurchens through coercion and inducement, but even if they took refuge in the Liao State, the lives of these mature women were still very miserable, for example, every summer, the bowl would move to the north to escape the summer, and the leaders of the various departments of the Jurchens would go to pay tribute to the Liao Emperor.

If Allah lives on fishing and hunting, the food source is very unstable, especially in winter, every year a large number of Jurchens die of cold and starvation due to lack of supplies, in this case, they also have to give the most precious prey to the Liao Emperor, such as tiger skins, bear paws and other things that can be exchanged for a lot of money, so these tributes are also a heavy burden on the mature Jurchen.

What's even more cruel is that even if they send tribute, the Khitan people still don't treat the Jurchens as human beings, as long as they don't conform to the Khitans' minds, it may lead to death, for example, according to Zhao Anren, a few years ago, there were Jurchen leaders who paid tribute, and at the banquet, Yelu Longxu asked the Jurchen leaders to sing and dance to cheer him up, but a Jurchen leader was directly cut off by Yelu Longxu because the singing was too ugly, and then the skull was made into a wine cup to drink.

Similar to the above things are not isolated cases, but almost every year, Zhao Anren is a eunuch, and his vision is not so long-term, but after Li Zhang heard it, he felt that this may be the strategy of the Khitan to rule the Jurchens, simply put, it is to be grateful, they support the mature women to suppress the birth of the Jurchens, and they also rule harshly over the mature women, so that the mature women really plant fear of the Khitans, so that they dare not resist.

Of course, under this cruel rule, there will still be some desperate mature Jurchens who are forced to rebel, but this is also the strategy of the Khitans, because the rebellious Jurchen tribes are facing other mature Jurchens who dare not resist, and the Khitans will definitely order them to suppress the rebels, so that the strength of both sides will be greatly consumed in the war, and by this means, the power of the Jurchens can be continuously consumed, so that they cannot threaten the rule of the Khitans.

The information that Li Zhang can get from Zhao Anren is still too limited, after all, he is a eunuch, and it is difficult to leave the palace at ordinary times, plus his status is not high, and the main attention is also in the palace, so most of the news that Zhao Anren can provide is also some rumors, of course, there are also some confidential information, such as the attitude of the Liao royal family and nobles towards the Jurchens, etc., which also allows Li Zhang to collect a lot of useful information.

Two days later, the news of the return of the mission to the Song Dynasty was finally issued, and Yelu Zhirang led a team of cavalry to escort Li Zhang and them out of the bowl, and they did not see Yelu Longxu again when they left, but according to the news revealed by Yelu Zhirang, I am afraid that the deadline for Yelu Longxu will be within this month or two.

However, no matter when Yelu Longxu died, it had nothing to do with Li Zhang now, and the other party would definitely not allow the Great Song Dynasty mission to stay in Liao when the imperial power changed, so Li Zhang and they were almost semi-forced to be driven out of the bowl, and even they didn't have to go back to Zhongjing, but rushed directly to Xijin Mansion, which made the mission a lot less troublesome.

On the way, Yelu Zhirang also kept asking Li Zhang about Yan Niang, and Li Zhang also told him everything he could say, he could see that Yelu Zhirang's feelings for Yan Niang were not mixed with other impurities, but a very pure sister-brother relationship, just like him and Tanuki, thinking of Tanuki, Li Zhang's heart was also stronger.

Of course, Yelu Zhirang asked Li Zhang about Yan Niang at the same time, Li Zhang also took this opportunity to ask Yelu Zhirang about many internal things in Liao, don't look at Yelu Zhirang's age, but he is also a top nobleman, and he has been studying with the prince since he was a child, which can be described as well-read and strong, and his knowledge is much stronger than Zhao Anren.

However, Yelu Zhirang was also very vigilant, and his mouth was also extremely strict about some things that should not be said, Li Zhang gave up after a few tests, and only inquired about the news that the other party was willing to say, such as about the situation on the Jurchen side, and he inquired a lot of useful news.

The current Jurchens are a plate of loose sand, and their combat effectiveness is also a group of scum, not only are they wantonly oppressed by the Khitans, but even a small country like Goryeo can kill the Jurchens, which is not to say that the Jurchens are weak, but most of the Jurchens are in the primitive society period, and they can't even make iron tools, and some tribes can only use bones as weapons, basically a group of savages, so if there is a little organized troops, they can kill them and flee all over the mountains.

It is precisely because the Jurchens are too weak that Yelu Zhirang is also full of disdain like Zhao Anren when he mentions the Jurchens, and even from his tone, Li Zhang can feel that the Khitans do not treat the Jurchens as human beings at all, but as beasts, which is also the idea of the vast majority of Khitan nobles.

It's just that Li Zhang knows very clearly that although the current Jurchens are very weak, in contact with the Liao State, the Jurchens are also absorbing the starlight of civilization little by little, and they have learned from the Liao people how to build weapons, how to form an army, and how to treat the enemy with cruelty.

It is estimated that the current Khitan people would never have dreamed that a hundred years later, the Jurchens would rise like a hurricane, and then sweep the entire Liao State, the Khitan people had no power to parry, and finally were either killed or mixed into other ethnic groups, and the Khitan, a nation that once established a huge empire, also completely disappeared into the dust of history, and even the Khitan text has many countless interpretations in later generations, which also makes the Khitan appear countless mysteries in the historical research of later generations.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to stay out of the matter, the tragedy of Jingkang's shame is still painful even if it is reviewed after a thousand years, Li Zhang calculated his lifespan, he himself may not be able to catch up, but his children and grandchildren are likely to catch up, so Li Zhang also quietly added another Jurchen to his killing list.
