Volume 1 Born Out of Thin Air Chapter 46 Aftermath I

In the second year of Qinzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Aguda was crowned emperor and the country name was golden.

The sunset is a line, and the afterglow is endless. Ah Guta looked at the mighty army that had defeated the Liao Kingdom, and felt that there was an extra force in his life, which was connected with the crown on his head.

It was a violent force, as if it could make rivers flow backwards, change the color of heaven and earth, and make countless heads fall to the ground in an instant. However, there is only the third thing that Aguta can really do.

Under the magnificent sunset, Ah Gu was full of spirit and shouted out the Jurchen country name: Dajin!

The Republic of Korea was shocked by Aguta's temporary revision of the country name, but he didn't think much about it, he should have felt it in the face of the golden sunset, right? The reflections of the Jurchen coalition army were connected, and the sun behind them soon set, plunging the earth into darkness......

The battle of the Great Liao Jurchen Zhongdu, which should now be called the Liaojin War, came to an end. In this battle, the Liao State suffered 280,000 casualties, and more than half of the Dajin casualties.

Since then, the Liao State has been in a slump and has been pressed and beaten by the Jin State. Jin Guo also suffered heavy losses due to the old foundation of the army, and his vitality was injured, and he could not recover for several years. Especially in the end, the charge of the old army of the Liao State caused great losses to the Jurchen headquarters.

After the battle of Liaojin, the Jurchens boasted of their feat of breaking 700,000 by 20,000, and the trembling tribes in northern Saibei spread the saying that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible".

However, according to the detailed records of the Jurchen Han officials, the Liao State only claimed to have an army of 700,000, but it was only about 400,000. And half of them were in a hurry to respond to the battle, and the army marched to the battlefield in a hurry, and the combat strength was doubtful.

In terms of logistical support, the Liao State depleted its treasury and basically ensured the timely supply of military supplies. However, in the Liao army, there was too much difference in treatment between the Khitan army and the servant army, as well as between the tent army and the tribal army. Some servants and even tribal soldiers in the Liao State did not have enough food and clothing, and diseases were prevalent.

In terms of equipment, the weapons of the Liao soldiers were seriously damaged and basically not maintained.

In terms of training, the Liao army that had been in Chengping for decades was seriously corrupted, and only a part of the cavalry in the tent and the army on the Liao-Zhou border still retained their combat strength.

On the Jurchen side, the number of troops was not at all the 20,000 that they boasted, and the actual number of troops participating in the battle was 58,000. Among them, there are more than 20,000 Jurchens and more than 30,000 affiliated tribal armies, all of which have been fighting all year round.

In order to highlight the bravery of their own warriors, the Jurchens directly ignored the contributions of the subordinate tribal armies.

In terms of logistics, because the battlefield was mainly in the area controlled by the Liao State, the Jurchen coalition army directly "ate on the enemy", which led to a catastrophe and famine in the eastern part of the Liao State.

The hundred years of accumulation of the Liao State ensured the adequate supply of the Jurchen coalition army, but at the cost of the profound disasters of the people of all ethnic groups in the occupied areas of the Liao State, among which the Khitan and Han people suffered the most.

In terms of equipment, the weapons snatched from the Liao State were piled up, and the arsenal of the eastern capital of the Liao State was harvested, and the Jurchen coalition army actually realized that everyone was wearing armor! Because of the small number of Jurchen warriors, all of them are double-layer armor or even multi-layer armor.

The Jurchen tribes followed the Liao army for a hundred years, and turned from cannon fodder to killer weapons. The Jurchen generals represented by Aguta drew nourishment from Khitan generals such as Yelu Muzhong, combined with actual combat experience, and finally had their own battle formation skills.

The subordinate tribes attached to the Jurchens, such as the Murowei people and the Xi people, can also be good at fighting, and the treatment in all aspects is inferior to the Jurchen clan.

It is worth noting that these nomadic tribes, who have lived in Northeast China for nearly a thousand years, have many unique features in cavalry and infantry tactics, and their military strengths have also been absorbed and digested by the Jurchens, who are in the ascending period.

Aguta learned the lesson of the Liao State's oppression of small tribes, which led to the alienation of these tribes, and treated the Jurchen's subordinate tribes equally, and also carried out the Meng'an Moke adaptation.

Han officials such as the Republic of Korea proposed that the tribes that had taken refuge in the Jurchens should be broken up, mixed with the Jurchens, and intermarried with these tribes starting from the upper echelons. Despite the opposition of the majority of the Jurchen aristocracy, Akuta forcibly implemented this policy.

Although Akuta's successors made some discounts on ethnic policies, Dajin obviously knew how to entrap small tribes more than the centrifugal detachment of the Khitan oppressive system.

In later generations, there were many "experts" who were very sorry for the defeat of the Liao State, and talked about what if the Liao Emperor did not gather so many bad servant troops, and did not insist on going his own way, but let Yelu Muzhong unify the command, and what if the Tianzuo Emperor fought to the death......

However, there is no ifs in history, and the erosion of the Khitan collides with the Jurchens in the rising period, and the result can only be the replacement of the old and the new. Just like the Khitan ancestor Yelu Abaoji once swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, the rise of Jurchen is just a new round of reincarnation.

The Jurchen has accumulated for a hundred years, and now it is full of invincible, and since then it has soared into the sky and cannot be controlled.

At this time, the Jurchen nobles still maintained a tradition of hardship and simplicity, and in the tent of Aguta, there was only one more white tiger skin than ordinary generals.

Late at night, Ah Guda Zheng read "The Theory of Asking the Heart and Clarity of Nature", which is a book about the cultivation of the mind in the Confucian Dynasty this week. Aguta was very respectful of Han culture, especially books on statecraft, but he scoffed at the induction of heaven and man and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

As a gifted military strategist and an excellent politician, Aguda attaches great importance to his children's education.

Before the Liaojin War, the Jurchen victory or defeat was uncertain, and Aguta had opened the Jurchen official school, inviting or coercing some great Confucians in the Liao State to teach high-level children.

"We must remind future generations that we must use the books of the Han people to control the Han people, and it is okay to control small tribes, but we can't learn from their mistakes!"

Ah Guda spurred himself to learn the lessons of Liao. Let Er learn from the Han people, you see, the country is gone, right?

A burst of fire broke out from the tent, followed by shouts and screams, and the tremor of horses galloping and tearing the earth.

At this time, women are really on the rise, and all men have to follow their fathers and brothers to fish and hunt from the age of five or six. Get your first small bow before the age of eight, and then get stronger as you get older.

For the Jurchen warriors, killing was not only a means of looting supplies and obtaining military exploits, but also the survival instinct of this nation. Almost as soon as he realized that the situation was different, Ah Guda picked up his big bow. Run out of the tent, squat down and set up arrows, and be ready to meet the enemy in a few breaths.

The guards who came out of the tent after Ah Gu Da were very ashamed, and wanted to ask for guilt but were stopped by Ah Gu Da, so they quickly set up their position. Inadvertently, several of the head of the guards protected Akuta in the middle, but did not make Aguta feel that he was hiding behind them.

Looking at the fires on the west side of the camp, Ah Guda frowned. Of course, he considered the situation of the overnight attack, and had already ordered him to go down and be on guard, and he also specially inspected the camp. Now it's blazing, what's going on?

It didn't take long for all levels of Meng'an Mook to send the bravest warriors of his subordinates to protect Aguta and report the situation at the same time. Han Ye's troops finally reported the news, and Ah Guda finally relieved himself when he heard that he had blocked the night attack.

After decades of accumulation of conquests, and then raising troops to attack Liao, he finally trained a strong army. Come on, bugs who don't dare to fight head-on, let me see what else you can do!

The camp is near the east gate of the river, because of the difficult terrain and the ice-breaking operation carried out in the evening, so Aguda is very relieved.

Seeing that the stalemate was stalemate, the impatient Aguda ordered the defenders of the east gate to divide up most of the army and take over the defense of the west gate. so that Simon's army could free up their hands and surround the enemy who were attacking at night.

……

Li Mengkong is an old boy who followed Liu Chengdong up the mountain, with old qualifications, and has always flaunted his "high education" in his heart.

Li Mengkong and a few children keep the public school running, similar to the street committee. Counting materials, earning and outgoing within the limits of income, taking a commission on production, and handling disputes, Comrade Li Mengkong has a wealth of experience in grassroots work.

After Li Xiang rose in Mingyue Village, Li Mengkong first complained about Li Xiang's "deviance", and looked down on Mengxue's behavior of not teaching the Four Books and Five Classics.

There was a rift between the two sides, but fortunately, Li Xiang bundled a lot of interests and finally resolved it. One day, because of Li Xiang's drunken words, Li Mengkong also began to doubt the rationality of the Great Zhou society.

Taking advantage of Comrade Li Mengkong's loose thinking, Li Xiang began to pour new ideas into a big way, shamelessly treating Li Mengkong as a tester for ideological transformation. And it is suggested that the public middle school of Mingyuezhai should be restructured to further confirm some ideas.
