Chapter 312: Wanyan Aguta and the Golden Jurchen (Thanks to the Time and Space Traveler for the Reward)
The low houses do not have the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty architecture, but they have the style of Han architecture. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThere is no palace in Dajin Kingdom for special deliberations, and the place for deliberations is like the living room in the yamen of Zheng Zhijinglu's mansion, where the ministers are seated on the left and right.
Wanyan Ah Gu sat firmly in the middle, a man who was not yet forty years old, and his temples were already gray. His eyes are like falcons, revealing wisdom and ferocity.
Wanyan Sagai sat first on the side, and on the other side, Wanyan Wu begged to buy opposite, and left and right was Wanyan Gao, the younger brother of Aguta, and Wanyan did not lose his words.
These four people represent the highest deliberative control system of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, and are the most powerful assistants under Aguta, and all four of them have a title: Bo Jilie. If I had to translate it roughly, it would probably mean the Council of Elders.
Zagai was the father of Muhan. Under the four of them, there are also Akuta's uncles Wanyan Ali and Yi, the main person in charge of external affairs, and will also be the fifth Bo Jilie in the future.
Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Hulu and so on.
Wanyan Zongbi is a vulture, in fact, it should be called Wanyan Wushu, just like Wanyan Zonghan is called Sticky Han is a reason. Whether it is Zong Bi or Zong Han, they are both strong Chinese characters, and they are names that will be written in Chinese character official documents in the future. Wu begging, sticking and drinking, and Wushu are the orthodox Jurchen names.
Zheng Zhi followed Sticky Han into the conference hall, followed by Zhao Liangsi and Luda. The sticky rare to the crowd was very happy, and a few steps forward to cover the heart and bow down.
After sitting down, Yan Aguda also smiled, raised his hand and said, "Haha... My Jurchen warrior Bird slave is back, sit down quickly. ā
The bird slave is the nickname of Sticky Han, and this name can only be called by Aguta and Sagai. Sagai on the side is also full of smiles, there is such a son as Muhan, and it is also an important pillar for Sagai to sit firmly in the front two of the court, and having such a long-faced son is also Sagai's luck.
"Your Majesty, this time I went south, not only brought back 2,000 horses and more than 3,000 weapons. I also brought my brother, Zheng Zhi, the best general of the Song people. Sticky Han smiled and gestured to Zheng Zhi in the back, his face quite proud.
Zheng Zhi also stepped forward to learn to stick to the rare courtesy: "The best general of the Great Song Dynasty, Zheng Zhi, the envoy of His Majesty the Great Song Emperor, has seen the Jurchen Emperor!" ā
Wanyan Aguda is not as good as sticky Han, Wanyan Aguda is wise, looking at Zheng Zhi in front of him, he didn't think about how this Song man came to Huanglong Mansion, he was only thinking about why this Song man came.
After looking at it for a moment, Wan Yan Aguda just said, "Your iron armor is good." ā
Zheng Zhi was a little confused when he heard Wang Lou's translation, and replied: "The soldiers under my command are all wearing the same armor as me. If Your Majesty likes it, I will send a few sets to Your Majesty. ā
Wanyan Agu waved his hand, looked left and right at a few Bo Jilie, and asked, "What did the emperor of your Great Song Dynasty send you for?" ā
Zhao Liangsi, who was standing far away at the door, heard Wang Lou's translation, and hurriedly walked forward, wanting to open his mouth to answer, but was directly stopped by Luda.
I only heard Zheng Zhi reply: "I have been preparing for many years in the Great Song Dynasty, and this year I am preparing to fight against an army of 200,000 to attack the Liao State. When the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty heard about this, he admired me very much, and sent me to Liaodong to find this invincible hero to discuss the matter of forming an alliance to attack Liao. ā
Sticky Han also said at this time: "Haha... Your Majesty, Zheng Zhi is here to discuss with us to attack the Liao State, and Zheng Zhi wants to fight the Liao people with me. The warriors under Zheng Zhi are also very powerful, if we fight the Liao people together, the Liao people will definitely fail, and we Jurchens will definitely take revenge and kill all the Liao dogs. ā
Everyone saw that this sticky Han also admired Zheng Zhi, and couldn't help but be upright a few times. Wanyan Aguta stood up from his seat, looked at Zheng Zhi with a sharp gaze like an eagle's falcon, and asked: "Your Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has never dared to go against the Liao people, and you have paid tribute to the Liao people every year for a hundred years, how can you dare to start a war with the Liao people?" ā
Zheng Zhi completely underestimated Ah Guta's understanding of the current situation, and only thought that the Jurchens were far away in Liaodong and must not know anything about things thousands of miles away in the south, but he didn't expect that Ah Guta knew all about these things.
Even when Sticky Han heard Ah Guta's words, he also frowned, he really didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty had always groveled to the Liao people, and when he first saw Zheng Zhi, he only thought that the Great Song Dynasty was the same as the Jurchens, and had been fighting against the Liao State.
"There is a historical story of the Han people in ancient times, lying on the salary and tasting the guts, the king of Yue Goujian was defeated by Wu Wangfucha, and the people were also arrested by the king of Wu. King Yue slept in the firewood room every day, and reminded himself of the bitter gall of licking animals every day not to forget hatred. One day, the arrogant Wu Wangfucha let go of Gou Jian, Gou Jian returned to Yueguo, devoted himself to training and preparing for war, and finally defeated and killed Wu Wangfucha, washing away the humiliation of this life. Zheng Zhi also knew that this Agu Fight was not something he could fool, and he originally prepared a set of foolish words, only saying how the Great Song Dynasty was strong and strong, and the attack on both sides would inevitably break the Liao people, and he would also seek more benefits for the Great Song Dynasty in the covenant. At this point, the strategy changed temporarily.
Zheng Zhi only tells stories, and doesn't say much else, some things are said more and more to represent a weak heart, at this time, you only need to give Ah Gu a confidence, and let everyone here understand his determination as a general.
Zheng Zhi listened to Wang Lou trembling and went to translate. Then look at the expressions of everyone in front of you to react. I saw that there was no change in Ah Guda's expression, but after listening to this story, Mu Han's face softened a lot, and slowly returned to normal, and he seemed to remember that the Jurchen had been able to unite dozens of tribes after so many years of forbearance, and only then did he have today's situation.
I saw that Ah Guda was silent for a long time, looked left and right at a few people around him, and slowly asked, "How do your emperor want to form an alliance?" ā
"As long as the Great Song Dynasty originally belonged to the homeland of the Han people, it was occupied by the Liao people for more than 100 years in the sixteen states of Yanyun. The vast grasslands and mountains and forests, the Great Song Dynasty does not want a penny. The Great Song Dynasty raised its own troops to attack, and if the Jurchens needed help, the Great Song Dynasty would spare no effort to help the Jurchens fight in the mountains, forests and grasslands. Zheng Zhi simplified this covenant a lot, and the original covenant also stipulated that Song gave Liao an annual coin, and he would give it to the Jin people in the future, but Zheng Zhi was unwilling to have such a provision.
"The Song people are not allowed to surrender and rebel, and they are not allowed to take in a Khitan." How clever Aguta is, if you want to ensure a smooth control after the war, you can't keep a large number of Khitans alive, lest these Khitans make a comeback. The Khitan population is large, the Jurchen population is small, and killing all the Khitan talents is the only safe way.
Aguta's doubts were not unreasonable, and they were also very prescient. The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty really did this thing, starting from Zhao Ji of Huizong, who wanted to collect Khitans, until Zhao Gou, the king of Kang of the Southern Song Dynasty, was also doing such a thing. At this time, Zheng Zhi analyzed the reason, and perhaps Zhao Ji also wanted to take advantage of the Khitan people, who still had a large population, to contain the Jurchens.
"The Khitans didn't leave any of them, they all killed, but the Han people were allowed to come and go, and if they were willing to come to the Great Song Dynasty, you couldn't stop them." Zheng Zhi's words are to know the problems that will happen in the future, and it is not a big deal to talk about it at this time, just a small detail in the covenant. If you don't say it in advance, and wait for the future, it will be a huge problem.
"The Han people are mainly in Yanyun, if you capture Yanyun, the Han people in my Dajin will come and go with him." Ah Guda didn't think much about these things at this time, he just thought that it should be okay for the Song people to defeat Yanyun, and the Han people would not be a problem. According to history, Ah Guta did not expect that the Song people were so cowardly and incompetent, and Yan Yun could only rely on the Jurchens to fight, and it was not until that time that the problem of population loss was put on the table.
"Okay, it's a word, please order the national credentials!" Zheng Zhi really didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
At this time, the Jin Jurchens did not have much hope for the future, and they were still fighting against the strategic disadvantages of the Liao State, where would they think more about the contradictions with the Song people after the victory. The alliance is beneficial to the Jurchens at this time. This is the reason why the negotiations went smoothly, and it is also the reason why the maritime alliance in the original history went smoothly.
Wanyan Aguda didn't say much, and only ordered to find someone who could understand Chinese characters in the back. The Jurchens had no writing before, and the Jurchen script at this time was still in the making, and it would take a few years to take shape.
Zheng Zhi also beckoned back and called Zhao Liangsi and several Song Dynasty officials to come forward.
Sticky Han was even more elated, and said: "Brother Zheng Zhi, don't worry, we Jurchens will never betray our friends, we are brothers, one day we can join forces and fight the Liao people together." ā
Sticky Han was still looking forward to this matter, but Zheng Zhi seemed to see this scene and said, "There will be such a day." ā
Wanyan Aguda slowly sat down on the seat, and also ordered Zheng Zhi to give a seat to the left and right, and asked, "You are from the south, do you know what the Liao people have been doing recently?" ā
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he naturally remembered many things, and hurriedly said: "I have indeed heard that the Liao State has reported that the Emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Yanxi, is dispatching troops with Yanyun in the grassland, and has gathered more than 100,000 troops, known as 700,000, and I am afraid that I will go to the Huanglong Mansion in the near future, and His Majesty the Emperor must prepare as soon as possible." ā
As soon as the translation words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Jurchens were only 20,000 capable warriors. Confidence is always for the soldiers of the war, and the decision-making level has always known the seriousness of the matter.
Everyone knows that what Zheng Zhi said will not be false, the Liao country has a vast grassland, countless tribes, and many lackeys, and there is no shortage of money and food, and an army of more than 100,000 is definitely a normal number. But he has to face these hundreds of thousands of people so soon, and he is also worried.
The young sticky Han was no more wise than the few wise elders present, and stepped forward and said: "The Liao people are cowardly, and one million is not a problem, we Jurchen will definitely win." ā
Wanyan Aguda didn't comment on this matter, but kept urging people who knew men to come to the front, and he was naturally anxious in his heart, but this anxiety couldn't be revealed in front of Zheng Zhi, after all, he still negotiated with a few Bo Jilie.
Zheng Zhi didn't say much, but said to Sticky Han: "Sticky Han, you send me to sea, and I will give you a big gift." ā
"Haha... What kind of gift does Brother Zheng Zhi want to give me? Sticky Han asked with a smile.
"Two hundred sets of iron armor!" Zheng Zhi said, and he was willing to do it in his heart, Sticky Han helped him a lot in this trip, and the success of this trip also contributed to Sticky Han's good attitude towards him.
But Zheng Zhi didn't know that the first time the Song envoy came to Liaodong, he was tied up by the Jurchens to see Yan Agu, and he received some respect after a few times. Wanyan Aguta was not ignorant of the relationship between the Liao and Song dynasties, and there were many distrusts of the Song envoys at the earliest.
"Thank you brother for your generosity, with these two hundred sets of iron armor, I will definitely sweep the battle array and be invincible." Sticky Han has long envied Zheng Zhi's heavy armor, and now Zheng Zhi opened his mouth to send it, and it was two hundred sets in one go, and Sticky Han was already extremely happy. Then he said: "Brother Zheng Zhi, I will definitely go and snatch the best things of the Liao people and give them to you." ā
The Jurchen heavy-armored knights will also slowly appear on the stage of history, and the Iron Floating Massacre is even more famous on the battlefield.
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he also laughed heartily, and at this time, Mu Han was really a very good friend and brother. Seven or eight years later, Mu Han will be as wise and fierce, cold-blooded and majestic as these people here.
Zheng Zhi still had a fantasy at this time, blocking the Jurchens in the northern land of Yanyun and living in peace with the Jurchens. Avoid the so-called loss of life.
Zheng Zhizhi had this idea, and it was also that the Jurchens had never regarded the Great Song Dynasty as an enemy at this time, and the Jurchens had never moved the mind of starting a war with the Great Song Dynasty, and they had never even thought about this idea.
But after destroying the Jurchen of the Liao State, Danfan had the idea of starting a war with the Great Song Dynasty, which was a thunderbolt for the decaying Northern Song Dynasty at that time.
The heart of preparing for war, Zheng Zhi has always been urgent. Peace does not come from fantasy, nor does it come from negotiation, it is that he can make the Jurchens jealous at the Yanyun border in the future, so jealous that he does not dare to start a war at will, and then there will be peace.
As long as it can be peaceful for a while and Zheng Zhi is given a time buffer to develop, the Jurchen in the future will not be a threat to Zheng Zhi.
