Chapter 774: Ah Ye, what is that?
Man is the head of all souls, and the biggest difference from other animals is human intelligence.
People can think and compare.
Wanyan Pu Jianu now has a kind of self-doubt. Liaoyang Mansion has been seized by their Jurchens for many years, but Liaoyang Mansion has not only not become more and more prosperous, but the market is getting weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, this Yanjing City, which has only been in the hands of the Han people for a year, has become more prosperous than in its heyday. To be clear, the Xijin Mansion that fell into the hands of Lu Qi is the Xijin Mansion after the decline of the Khitan for many years.
In this way, a sense of shame grew in his heart, and at the same time, there was a touch of admiration for the Han people in Wanyan Pu Jianu's heart.
The Jurchens, who have just come out of the white mountains and black waters for a few years, are not ashamed to talk about money. Ah Guda and Song Huizong asked for a million ransom fees, and when they didn't drink and left the city of Tokyo, they asked for 10 million gold ingots, 20 million silver ingots, and 10 million silk horses in the city. It's an astronomical amount.
Wanyan Pu Jiannu really felt ashamed in his heart.
In the past, these robbers and barbarians could still describe the Han people as cowardly lambs, and there was a sense in their hearts that it is true that you are rich and that I am poor, but I can ride on a horse and pick up a sword and bow to wantonly rob you of your wealth, bully you, and trample on you. In their hearts, they regard the Han people as cattle and sheep to be slaughtered......
It's like the Song-Jin Sea Alliance in the official history. The Jin army captured Zhongjing and Xijing (now Datong, Shanxi) of the Liao State, and at the end of the year, Aguta personally led a large army to conquer Nanjing Xijin Mansion. However, when the Song army faced the remnants of the Khitan army on the battlefield and suffered repeated defeats, the attitude towards Zhao Song immediately became very arrogant and tough.
Zhao Liangsi was ordered to negotiate with the Jurchens on matters related to the performance and delivery of the contract, and the sixteen states of Yanyun that Akuda had promised became the twenty-four counties of the six states of Yanshan, and Zhao Song's attempt to recover the lost territory south of the Great Wall in one fell swoop was shattered. Wanyan Agu said even more unceremoniously: "I heard that the Chinese general fought alone against Liu Yanqing's 100,000 people, once there is no fight, the army is scattered and defeated, China He Zudao, I have entered Yanshan, now I have it, and China has it." ”
That kind of self-confidence in force made them scoff at the richness of the Han civilization. It's a taste of you getting richer the better, so that I can grab more. It's like the fatter the sheep, the more refreshing it tastes.
But that's no longer the case.
In the battle of Yanyun, the Jurchens were defeated and lost, and Aguta and others fled back to Liaodong in embarrassment, and the female Allah force army suffered heavy losses. This dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the Jurchens. The docile sheep has turned into a big bad wolf. In this force, they themselves did not have to be tough first, but the Central Plains was bullish.
Under such a situation, it is not uncommon for Jurchens with 'knowledge' such as Wanyan Pu Jianu to fall into self-doubt. Because only smart people think more.
In fact, Lu Qi's strategy for the Northland, in addition to military strikes, the preaching of cultural ideas and ideologies has become more and more important.
At this point, Emperor Lu, as a traverser, knew very well that force and military repression could only play a factor that made others afraid and afraid. If you want to completely conquer a region, you must also count on soft power. It's just that before your soft power is valued, you must also show your fists and hit others to call them dad.
It's like Western civilization beat China with its fists before shouting 'free dishes are boiled'.
Looking at those Khitan magnate envoys or Khitan merchants who entered Yanjing City from the grassland, no one asked them to change into Hanfu, and they also had to be obedient themselves, this is Lu Qi's current military deterrence.
Look at the Mongols in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in history, they swept half the world, how was it not unmatched in force? However, except for the Mongols who remained in East Asia, the Mongols who entered Central Asia were completely greened in a short time, which is very similar to the performance of the Manchus after entering the Central Plains, but regardless of whether this is active or passive, the horizontal and vertical is that the invading peoples have been assimilated by the culture of the region they invaded.
Because the Northland people are a desert in terms of ideology and culture.
Looking at the countless fine days and pulverized coal in China in later generations, the cultural soft power is sometimes really sharper than the real knife and real gun!
But that will take a long, long time, at least until the current generation dies completely.
Finally entered Yanjing City. Wanyan Pujianu immediately discovered the difference between the city and his memory, not because the market was more prosperous and the flow of people and horses was more numerous, but because the city was clean and tidy.
You don't smell a stench or rancid urine, you don't see a single piece of sewage, garbage, or patches of feces.
At this time, the Pu family slave realized that there was a place he had neglected, so many cars and horses, and there was not a single egg on the ground. And this city, one left and one right, people, cars and horses branches, is really orderly and orderly.
No one is going to leave it clean and tidy and go to the garbage heap to join in the fun. Good and bad, people have a basic discernment.
Pu Jianu is really good and does not despise the Khitan people at this moment, and the intuitive Khitan people have wasted things in vain. The sixteen states of Yanyun and so many Han families fell into their hands, and this group of birdmen was empty in vain.
He doesn't have a backache when he talks while standing.
As a ruling minority of the people, who dares to delegate power to the Juche nation?
Don't look at the territory of the Khitan is so large, but the Khitan people belong to the absolute minority people in the entire Great Liao Empire. The Han talents of the Sixteen Prefectures and Liaodong were the main population force of the Liao Empire.
Song Gongming didn't come to see Pu Jianu, even Ma Zhi didn't show up, but he just stayed in the mansion and came out of an official, chatted with them and his party for a few words, and then sent the Jurchen delegation to the post house in the south of the city to rest, and then instructed the post house to entertain things. One of the latter two is busy entertaining the generals of the Yanjing army, and the other is hooking up with the Khitans.
Wanyan Pu Jianu was also happy to save trouble, and it happened that he would get up tomorrow and continue to rush south.
As a result, the plan did not change quickly, and it did not have to be the second day, but the northeast wind blew on the night, and the clouds were thick, and it snowed heavily. When Yan Pu's slave got up to look at it after dawn, he saw: catkins and goose feathers. The whole heaven and earth were covered in white.
No matter how anxious he was to go south, he couldn't go. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't go. As soon as they left, wouldn't the battalion escorted along the way also follow, and they should not ask for their own hardships for a handful of Jurchen savages on a cold day.
"Straight lady thief, it's not us who are in a hurry to go to Yidu! Brothers, don't worry about those pickled beasts, just eat and drink! "Who is this leading officer? It's none other than that. It's Cao Liang! At the beginning, he went to northern Shaanxi with the army, fought a few battles with the Western Xia people, and had already become the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and he had been in such chaos for a few years, so that he could take another step. As a result, the obituary of his brother Cao Cheng came from Hebei. In the first battle of Yanjing, Cao Cheng's death was not miserable - because he fell too early, he converged after the war, and half of his body was trampled into flesh.
After Cao Liang got the report, he cried blood, and turned his head to be transferred to Yanjing. It was also granted, but the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses was not allowed to do it.
Now he is serving under Yue Fei, who asked him to lead troops to take care of the Jurchen mission, and I don't know if he really doesn't know Cao Liang's brother's hatred, or if he intends to.
Pu Jianu traveled between the Khitan and the Jurchens in his early years, what did he not experience? Cao Liang's actions couldn't anger him, so he simply asked someone to put wine in the flower garden of the post house, and had fun with several dignitaries in the mission!
The man arrived at a small pavilion in the flower garden, and before he could sit down, he suddenly heard an attaché shouting: "Ah Ye, what is that?" "Look straight to the western sky.
Pu Jianu also looked up, and saw black smoke billowing in the western sky, like a mudslide inserted into the innocent world.
