Two hundred people rushed all the way up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The ground was either ice or snow, and they did not dare to let their horses gallop. Yu Gen had people tie sackcloth to the horse's hooves to increase friction. There is no horsefoot nailing in the pennu, maybe the iron is too expensive? It's unreasonable!

The Tangwang River is completely frozen and the shape of the river can only be seen from the embankment. No wonder the Jurchens chose to attack Pennuli in early winter, and the Tangwang River, which is not frozen, is a moat.

The same is true of the Songhua River. The river is about a kilometer wide and smooth as a mirror. After the snow is covered, it is no different from the earth. Pennuli is on the northwest side of the Songhua River, and Yueliji and Alchuka are both on the south side of the Songhua River.

Yueliji is also called the head city of the five countries, and the location is in Yilan County, which belongs to Harbin in later generations. Yu Gen has never been to Yilan, but Harbin is familiar. Even if the wind and waves are calm, the Songhua River is still a rolling turbid current, and according to the development level of the Jurchens or Huligai people, it is impossible for the army to cross the river.

Based on this, the swaying of the more than the governor is understandable.

In addition to the frozen river, Yu Gen saw a lot of flat ice surface, could it be a lake? No, it is impossible for the lake to protrude from the ground.

Wo Xuan called out to Ma Wu to come over. Mawu understood, but did not explain it to Abukahkh. This guy has learned some of the language of the gods, which is a bit of a showmanship. In the end, Ma Wu still changed the Jurchen language with a red face, and Wo Xuan translated, "Sow golden seeds in spring, water more in summer, harvest in autumn, beat off the golden skin, take out white particles, and cook and eat." ”

Emma! This is a rice field? Could it be that rice has already been cultivated in the Vietrigi area?

Also, the Wuchang rice of later generations is a fine product of domestic rice, and it is known as "China's fragrant rice out of Wuchang", so that Wuchang rice is wholesale and retail all over the country. Yu Gen read a report that the deputy county magistrate of Wuchang County led people to fight counterfeiting, but was scrapped by the counterfeiters. The five permanent ones should not be too far to the southeast side of Yilan, which also belongs to Harbin City. I vaguely remember that Wuchang rice claims to have "more than 200 years of cultivation history", how did it get nearly a thousand years ago?

"My family has such rice fields, five!" Ma Wu raised his slap proudly, the number was very clear, and Yu Gen understood.

This rice field on the bank of the Songhua River is about half a football field, about four or five acres. The unit of measurement of the Jurchens is not very clear, perhaps it is a block. In this way, the Ma Wu family has more than 20 acres of land? Maybe it's nothing.

What's the matter, aren't the Jurchens a fishing and hunting people? Different from the nomadic peoples such as the Khitan and the Murowei, how did it become an agrarian society? Yu Gen found that there were many concepts that were incorrect. This trip is really insightful.

It stands to reason that an agrarian society is introverted and self-sufficient, and does not take plundering as a path. Why did the Jurchens have the ability to expand dramatically?

"How many people in your family, is there enough food to eat?" Yu Gen thought of a possible explanation.

"There is an old mother, a wife, two sons, and a daughter. Not enough to eat, need to hunt supplements. The fourth prince will also give some rewards. Mawu didn't understand why Abukaheh asked, but it was Abukaheh's concern, and Mawu replied in detail, "By the way, there are five more slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids also need to eat." ”

"Dachun is your eldest son?" Yu Gen nodded and continued to ask. Ma Wu is in his early thirties, and he is quite capable of giving birth.

"Yes. I could have helped the family with some work. But I think it will be very good to follow Abukaheh. Ma Wu was silent, but the meaning was still clear.

"Dachun will be promising." Yu Gen smiled and waved his hand, and Ma Wu rushed to the front of the queue. This is a man with a bit of a brain and is willing to work hard.

More than 20 acres of land, unable to support 10 people, indicating that the yield is very low. If the yield of seven or eight hundred or nearly a thousand in the next generation is enough, it will be enough to supply the rations of forty or fifty people.

Some scholars have pointed out that the 42nd parallel is the limit of ancient agricultural civilization. To the south, agricultural output is sufficient to give birth to great civilizations. In the north, due to sunshine, frost, rainfall and other reasons, grain production is insufficient. This line roughly passes through the territory of Jilin Province, such as Siping City, where bacon flatbread is produced.

Harbin and the surrounding Yilan and Wuchang should be around 45 degrees north latitude. Yu Gen once ate in a northeastern-style restaurant, the name of which is "45 degrees north latitude".

On this trip, Yu Gen did not ride a horse, but sat on a luxurious sleigh with a thick bear skin, which was comfortable and stable. But the preparation is still not enough, the wind is strong. A shed should be added to the sleigh and covered with animal skins. It doesn't matter what the weight is, just a few more horses, rich man!

Of course, he refused to ride the horse, and put not only a bear skin, but also a thigh for Abukakh.

Another sleigh was piled with fifty thunderbolts, which were going to be sold to the Aliens. Last time, Ma Wu also brought back this meaning, and he was not able to leave the trouble at hand, and he was accumulating goods, and timidly proposed not to sell them to others.

The arms business is Yu Gen's way of making a fortune, and of course, it is necessary to maintain large customers, but it is not a sincere deception. At present, the female truth is absolutely weak for Da Liao, and the monopoly female truth is right. When the two enter the stage of strategic stalemate, and even when the Jurchen is strong, Da Liao will become Yu Gen's customer.

Otherwise, after the war, what will the business do? Buyers and sellers need to be strategic. Not to mention that if the Jurchen family is dominant, how can others be allowed to make black money on the side of the couch, which is a threat to Gen's safety?

In fact, with the population base of the Jurchen clan, no matter how much territory they occupy, they cannot effectively control it. Otherwise, Dajin would not have successively appointed Zhang Bangchang and Liu Yu as emperors in history, and managed a large area of land from Shaanxi to Shandong.

As for the further future, Da Song also has to take care of it. With a GDP of hundreds of millions of horses, the world's largest economy, many people are stupid and quick to make money. The current Great Song Dynasty is Cai Jing in power, right? It costs 270,000 taels to eat a meal from colleagues, and the annual coin given by the Great Song Dynasty to Da Liao is only 300,000 taels.

The Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, and the Great Gold Triumph are the best, the brother mediates in the middle, trades fairly, and the children are not bullied, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and watching the lively are not afraid of big things.

Of course, people die in war, but don't you know that there are more people who die in the country. Moreover, the former is the blood and sacrifice of soldiers, but the latter is the life of the people.

Mencius said, "If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish." "Da Liao was taken down by Dajin so easily, to a large extent, because of the "Yuanyuan Alliance", Song Liao had a hundred years of peace, so that the government was corrupt and the army was corrupt. The Great Song Dynasty was stronger than the Great Liao, because the Western Xia had been tossing, and the Great Song Dynasty was tossed out of a powerful Western army.

As for the future destination, Yu Gen chose Bohai Bay. First take the Liaodong Peninsula, and then seize the surrounding area of Yanjing. The Khitan has been stealing the sixteen states of Yanyun for a long time, and it should be returned to the Han people. However, the Great Song Dynasty is also a muddy blank, and the Second Emperor of Huiqin is a father and son living treasure, brother is not at ease!

Brother's arms are expensive, and the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to afford it. Well, the Shandong Peninsula is a good piece of land, building a small territory around the Bohai Bay. Anyway, historically, this land also belonged to Daikin.

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. It's freezing on this day, and it's really inconvenient to move. At the beginning of spring next year, my brother will go to the Great Song Dynasty for a walk......

Not long after crossing the Songhua River, the head of Yueliji City is already in sight. It's really the head of the city, at least there's an earthen fence. The soil fence is more than one person high, which is similar to the courtyard wall of a farmhouse in the mountainous area.

As soon as the front party reached the city, they saw the gates of the city wide open, and more than ten horsemen rode out of the city, and were led by Mawu to the sleigh of Abu Kaheh.

The person who came was also an acquaintance, the last time I saw it in the bunnu, the leader of the guards who couldn't be separated. The leader of the guards knelt on one knee on the snow and said loudly, "The Jurchen Mou Kesanatai, on the orders of the second prince, has been waiting for Abu Kaheh here for many days. ”

"Okay, let's go into town!" Yu Gen nodded, but did not get up from the sleigh. Wo Xuan was wrapped in Yu Gen's arms, and he seemed to be so comfortable that he was already asleep.

Sanatai let out a "hmm" and led the way before getting on the horse. The executive commander of the Abukakh Guard, the veteran head of the army named Ruku, jumped off his horse and winked at Hugen. Luku is a lot older, with iron armor all over his body, and he doesn't wear much underneath, but he is quite frost-resistant.

After Yu Gen nodded, Ruku hurriedly ran to another sleigh, pulled off the covered hide, and pulled out a thunderbolt. Then he squatted on the ground and "crackled" and lit a section of velvet.

This velvet is made of animal wool and linen fibers, supplemented by flint fire, and is easy to ignite. This is another great invention of Suduli. After lighting the fire, use your fingers to extinguish it for next time, and the velvet has been equipped to the level of squad leader.

Lu Ku was thin and thin, but his strength was quite great, and he put on a good posture and pushed it out violently, and the thunderbolt weighing four or five pounds flew forty or fifty meters away. After landing on the ground, it rolled a few times and fell into the ravine.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by gunsmoke and fire, snow and ice splashed, and the sound of explosions was deafening. Yu Gen had already covered Wo Xuan's ears. Wo Xuan was still asleep, but he twitched the corners of his mouth with great dissatisfaction, arched and continued to sleep.

Sanadai and his men had all seen the explosion of thunderbolts, and at this time they were almost overturned by their horses and fell to the ground. Looks like the explosion is louder than ever? Sanatai actually peeked at the thunderbolt in Ruku's hand just now, and it seemed to be smaller than before? Eccentric!

Looking at the horses of Abukaheh's extremely entourage, they did not "sigh" and roar, but only snorted in dissatisfaction, snorted with hot air in their mouths, and did not stop their steps.

A large chunk of ice and snow fell on Sanatai's helmet, which was considered a falling object from a height, and it hurt a little. What hurts even more is in his heart, the second prince's fifty horses and goods were exchanged for five thunderbolts. and exchanged the iron armor of fifty men for ten. Such an expensive treasure artifact was clicked by Abukaheh?

Rich, capricious!

Yu Gen patted the falling snow on his body. Brother came all the way, in the wind and snow, can't you put a salute to make a scene? Don't you let the people of Yueriji hear it?

The continuous sound came from within the castle of Yueriji, and the "sigh rhythm" was non-stop, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps. It seems that a lot of war horses have been frightened.
