Chapter 324: Tiele Rises
The heroic surrender that took place under the city of Suizhou marked the complete defeat of the uprising of Wang Liuwang and Wangqi.
The leaders who were registered in the government and had a blood feud with the gentry, they allowed their children to survive by self-judging under the city of Suizhou.
According to the preliminary agreement, the families of the big and small leaders will settle along the Han River, and will be guarded by the government of Xunyang, Shiyan and other places and the merchants of Mingyueji. These "rebel family members" will be under guardianship for up to 10 years, and they can only stay in the place where they settle down, and they will not be allowed to go out for a single step.
Li Yifu was not in a hurry to extend an olive branch to the family left behind by the leader of the rebel army. With the passage of time, the orphans and widows who laid down their arms will one day understand that only the people of Nanshan Fort do not discriminate against and bully them in the Great Zhou......
On 25 September, Li Yifu, who had been rewarded for his meritorious service as the commander of the Xiang Army, led the crowd to Bianjing after a three-day banquet in Nanyang City.
The high-ranking officials on Jingnan Road are very smart, otherwise they would not be able to pass the examination. They saw that Liu Chengdong and Weng and his son-in-law had made good friends with many martial artists, and that Nanshan Fort had great energy in the rivers and lakes and in the business world, so they collectively wrote to transfer Liu Chengdong and Weng and his son-in-law to Bianjing as officials.
At the end of September, as soon as Li Yifu arrived in Gyeonggi Province, he received a fateful delivery team from Youzhou to the south.
Things have to start with Liu Chengliang bidding farewell to some of his subordinates in Youzhou City.
Liu Chengliang's men carried furs, horns, and Jurchen weapons on ships, and first arrived at the port of Dengzhou. They originally wanted to rest for two days, so they rushed directly to Bianjing to connect with Li Yifu's men, but they didn't want to cause trouble.
Someone in the team thought carefully about swallowing some of the goods and then flying away.
"Anyway, when you come to the Great Zhou, no matter how fierce Liu Chengliang is, can he still catch Lao Tzu? Nanren Flower World, just happened to go to have a look! That is the voice of the defector.
The defectors attracted the attention of the officials and troops of the Great Zhou. To say that the officers and soldiers on Shandong Road are also waste, thousands of people did not stop a dozen people, and a small number of people successfully escaped.
The official government of Dengzhou quickly found the head of Liu Chengliang's team and coerced them to hand over the "murderer".
At that time, the old man in charge had died of illness, and the rest of the people had no idea but to hand over all their belongings. The few sacks of information that Liu Chengliang had worked so hard to collect were saved, and only one of the dozens of Jurchen weapons was left.
It was precisely when the local officials and officials in Dengzhou and other places saw that they could make great contributions by handing over the Jurchen weapons to the court, so they spared the rest of the people.
Li Yifu looked at the lame man in front of him who was one meter nine tall, nodded and asked:
"You are the big man surnamed Shi that Uncle Liang admires? Liaodong athlete background? ”
"It's down there. Liaodong Jian'er didn't dare to mention it, he was killed by the Jurchen army, and he was shameless. broke a leg under it, if it weren't for Uncle Liang near the Western Capital, this life would definitely be lost! ”
"You are very good to go around in Dengzhou and the government to keep your intelligence and weapons! Go to my house in the mountains, be a gatekeeper, and your family will all go to the core workshop to work! ”
The lame man left. After he knew what Li Yifu had just said, he immediately felt that his choice was very wise.
Liu Decheng picked up the mace, which was one meter long and weighed more than 20 catties, looked at the dried blood stains on it, frowned and said: "Proprietor, what the lame man said, why can't I believe it so much?" ”
He said that Liaodong athletes like him couldn't beat one of the Jurchen warriors out of ten. Is there really such an army in the world?! ”
Da Niu and the others also looked at Li Yifu.
Li Yifu put down a piece of information in his hand. He asked a few clerks to hurry up and sort it out, and at the same time frowned and said:
"We are in Jiangnan, in the face of Fang La's miscellaneous soldiers, we can fight ten at a time, and Fang La's personal soldiers wearing iron armor can resist several times the elite of the official army without being defeated. If the Jurchen soldiers can't do it with one as ten, how can they defeat most of the Liao State and force the Liao State to death? ”
Li Yifu did not doubt the combat power of some small clans at all. The Jurchen people in this time and space are in general with the original time and space, and they have all put forward the slogan "The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are invincible", and they must be superior in combat power! However, until the confrontation with the large Jurchen army, Li Yifu's subordinates did not have a clear idea of the combat power of the Jurchen soldiers.
Just when Li Yifu was telling how difficult it was for the Jurchen, a small clan in the Northeast, to fish and hunt in the deep mountains and old forests and fight for their lives with the sky, Liu Chengliang, who had tried his best to catch up with a Jurchen nobleman, finally passed through Zhangjiakou and came to the area ruled by the Jin State.
Liu Chengliang is heading towards the stormy Dading Mansion. Thousands of miles to the west from his position, Tiele on the steppe ushered in a decisive victory.
Since the Liao State devoted its main energy to exterminating the Jurchens, fighting against the Jurchens, and even surviving for a long time, the large and small tribes on the grasslands of thousands of miles have fallen into a situation of fighting with each other. The heroes with both brains and wisdom frantically chewed on the power vacuum left by the Great Liao Kingdom, and they could clearly feel that the era of belonging to the Mongols was coming!
After Tiele rescued his wife Lan Tie'er, his forces entered another period of rapid growth.
Heroes are admired on the grassland, and the story of Tiele climbing the ice and lying in the snow, fighting bravely, and rescuing his wife infected many defeated small tribes to vote.
Having a strong wife has brought Tiele a lot of advantages. Lan Tieer's father is so famous on the grassland that the tribes have perished for more than ten years, and many small and medium-sized tribes will instinctively take refuge in Tiele when they stand in line, just because Tieler's wife is Lan Tieer!
Tiele not only recruited homeless warriors and small tribes that came to defect, but also accepted the allegiance of many "sheep thieves" who were hated by everyone on the steppe. He had his own plans, not only strict with the law, but also sent soldiers from different backgrounds to form an elite army, and only obeyed his dispatch.
In the midst of the constant fighting, Tiele clearly felt the power that belonged to the steppe. The harsh living environment on the grassland allows every child to grow into a skilled warrior with bows and horses.
It wasn't just Tiele who discovered this, but Tieler's biggest opponent, the former Andazhamu, also recognized it. It is not so much that the Mongols are fighting in the civil war, but that they are fighting for the position of the lead wolf, and the winner will rule the steppe and more than 100,000 iron horsemen!
"Lan Tieer, what did the Liao State say?" Tiele opened the luxurious tent and asked the smiling blue sticker.
Lan Tie'er swiped her finger over the Liao characters in the account book, and said with a smile: "The Liao people put down their bows and horses, indulged in the poetry and songs of the Han people, and were beaten to death by the Jurchens who were less than the grassland tribes. ”
"What else can they say?"
"A small number of horses, and a letter of allegiance, can be exchanged for a large amount of iron and wood!"
The only things that can be produced in large quantities on the grassland are cattle, sheep and horses. Tiele wanted sufficient strategic materials, so he could only exchange things with Liao. Jin Guo doesn't know much about this side, and there is not much interaction at present.
The Liao State was able to control the grasslands and let the grassland tribes attack each other for hundreds of years, and the strict iron embargo policy made a lot of contributions. However, all this came to naught with the Liaojin War and the decline of the Liao State.
"Horses can be traded, but they can't be given too well. When the Khitans owned thousands of miles of grassland and the entire Liaodong, they couldn't defeat the Jurchens, and now that the Jurchens are getting stronger and stronger, they can't beat them even more. Lan Tieer, do you think that after the Jin people conquered the Liao State, did they go to attack the Han Land or attack the prairie? Tiele looked at Lan Tie'er with burning eyes and asked in a low voice.
The Khitans, Tanguts, Mongols, and even a small number of Han Chinese in Confucian robes who worked in the tents did not hear anything. There are too few literate Mongols, and they are under a lot of pressure.
Lan Tie'er's carefully thinking goose egg face was stained with a few touches of plateau red. She put down the brush and abacus, and said uncertainly: "It depends on whether the Jurchen Wanyan has vision." If they have a long-term vision, they will come to beat me first, and if they just want to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, they will go to fight the flower world of the Han people? ”
Tie Le took the milk skin in Lan Tieer's hand and ate it all in three or two bites, shook his head suddenly, and said:
"No, Blue Sticker, that's not how things go!"
"The grassland is only hard enough, harder than iron, and the people of Jin Guo dare not fight it! If the grassland is as weak as sheep and Han Chinese, then in the face of Jurchen warriors, the result will be the same......"
"Come out with me and see my Anda for the last time."
Lan Tie'er sighed, obediently took Tieler's hand, and came to the prairie with a cold wind passing through and a boundless view.
The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. The main reason for such a "beautiful scenery" is that the wind is too strong, and the herdsmen on the grassland have never felt that there is anything beautiful about such weather. If you can't find a suitable place to stay before the snow falls, at least half of the cattle and sheep will freeze to death!
Sheep crowed, cattle crowed, people shouted and horses neighed, and there was a bustle in front of the platform built with Lele carts and large wooden planks.
Tieler, Lan Tieer, Tieler's sons, and a dozen loyal subordinates of Tiele appeared on the high platform, and tens of thousands of warriors raised their scimitars and cheered.
Tie Le pressed down with his hands, and when the wind was light, he shouted loudly to Zamuhe, whose hands were tied:
"Zamuhe, my Anda. How cruel you are to cook thousands of my men in a big iron pot! ”
"How selfish you are, you keep all the spoils for yourself, regardless of the life or death of your subordinate herdsmen!"
"How ambitious are you to want to impose your will on the boundless prairie. Immortal Heaven can't tolerate you! ”
Zamuhe's face was large and yellow, with many small spots on it. The nostrils are large, the eyes are elongated, and the cheeks are fleshy.
Zamuhe stood with his waist straight, and shouted to his former defeated general, "Then my Anda, Tieler. What is the difference between you and me, which pasture, which wintering ground, which river? Aren't you the same, you want to take the edict of the Liao Emperor to kill the grassland tribes? ”
Tiele stepped down from the high platform, came to Zamuhe's side, paced in a circle, and shouted:
"Zamuhe, Zamuhe, who used to gnaw a leg of mutton with me, is now so big that only one person can live on the grassland. Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and the other people on the grassland and me? ”
"I, Tieler, swear to the Immortal Heaven today that I will never bow to anyone again! I, Tiele, will not accept the edict of the little emperor of Liao for dozens of carts of iron materials. As long as I lay down my arms and surrender to the steppe tribes, I will not use my sword easily. ”
"It's just because the Immortal Heaven gave me instructions. There should be a voice on the steppe, there should be only one voice, and that voice is ......"
"Mongolian !!"
Lightning splits tumbling clouds. Zamuhe knelt down, Lan Tieer knelt down, and the steppe people who were naturally afraid of lightning and thunder all knelt down.
No, there was one more person standing, only Tiele stood under the lightning and thunder!
"Why, you're not afraid of flashes?" Zamuhe got up from the ground and asked Tiele in shame.
"Because I don't have a place to hide. There is no place for steppe people to hide, and neither should they dodge! ”
"Tieler, you...... Haha, I don't know where you're going to take the Prairie Tribes, I'll bless you in the Immortal Heaven. ”
On that day, thousands of horses on the grassland rushed together, trampling more than 800 people under Tiele's old enemy Zhamuhe into pulp.
On that day, Tiele was promoted to the throne of Khan under the support of tens of thousands of grassland herdsmen and tens of thousands of grassland warriors. All meritorious servants were to receive the spoils of war, and all nobles and herdsmen were to submit to the thousand-household system, and these two major changes began to gather strength for Tiele at a rapid pace.
On that day, Tiele began to reconstruct the steppe iron cavalry that would sweep tens of millions of square kilometers in the future.
