Chapter 5: Jurchen

Although Shu Kun's tone always likes to drag the tone, he speaks very clearly, and Zhao Qing also has a basic understanding of the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everything starts from the disaster of the warlords at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the land of China is divided, the local power and government are constantly alternated, the situation is chaotic, the history is called the five dynasties and ten countries, the end of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the rise of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the monarch Zhou Shizong Chai Rong fought in the south and the north, and there is a great tendency to unify the country.

Originally, in the history of Zhao Qing's world, Chai Rong died of illness when he was about to discuss the military capture of Youzhou, and then Zhao Kuangyin was added to the yellow robe and created the Great Song Dynasty.

However, in this world, there have been some small deviations in history, and Chai Rong miraculously did not die of illness, but met a master and cured a stubborn disease. The consequence of a small deviation is that the course of Chinese history has been completely changed.

Subsequently, Sejong Chai Rong did not make the mistake of Zhao Kuangyin, fearing the north and the south, and missed the opportunity to advance Youyan, which led to the loss of the northern barrier of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was one of the main reasons for the endless invasion of Beiyi during the Two Song Dynasty. Sejong Chai Rong is worthy of a generation of Ming monarch, he firmly implemented the strategic direction of first difficult and then easy, first north and then south, in the Khitan when it was the weakest, and then collected the thirteen states of Yanyun, unified the north, and finally unified the world, ending the troubled times of war and starvation, and creating a prosperous Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has existed for more than 190 years, this dynasty that did not exist in history has the shadow of the Great Song Dynasty everywhere, the chaos of the five dynasties of war disasters made the court no longer trust the generals, the status of the generals plummeted, the status of scholars reached the peak of history, and the unprecedented prosperity of commerce developed to a point that made Zhao Qingdu staggering, especially the navigation business, all over the other side of the ocean, the country is rich only with money. At the same time, merchants also achieved great political status and had a decisive influence in military affairs.

Of course, the Great Zhou also had the same troubles as the Song Dynasty, that is, the invasion of foreign races in the north, although it had the thirteen states of Yanyun as a barrier and horse breeding land, but this barren land seemed to have endless troubles, military inattention, coupled with the sharp contradictions caused by the arrogance of the Great Zhou, so that the place of Liaodong has never been peaceful since the recovery.

In the process of the development of the feudal dynasty, land annexation was inevitable, and the group of Shukun lost their land in the disaster year, so they had to move north to reclaim the land, join the construction of the new county outside the Saiwai, and promote trade, but this would inevitably cause conflicts with the aborigines, so it led to frequent wars. The current group of displaced people is a good illustration of this point.

"Where is this barren land in the north of the Liaodong Desert, the bearskin deer antler in the mountains, the ginseng musk, which is not a treasure, it may not be worse than the spices of the South China Sea, if the imperial court can pay attention to it, invest a lot of troops to suppress these foreign races, and even completely expel them, why not." Shu Kun unconsciously talked about the situation in Liaodong, and the grief and anger of losing his home were vented at once.

Zhao Qing secretly slandered himself in his heart, it was not caused by you running to other people's homes to plunder other people's resources, of course, he would not say this openly. He knew that even if this was not the case, those alien races with wolf ambitions would covet the abundance of the south and persistently invade the south, causing incomparably heavy losses to the people of China. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, only positions. He is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and he must stand on the position of his own ethnic group.

Zhao Qing even secretly made up his mind to use his advanced vision and knowledge to eliminate the threat of these northern barbarians and prevent the recurrence of the tragedies that had happened in his world. Looking at the miserable homeless people outside the window, Zhao Qing strengthened his determination, maybe God gave him such a responsibility by letting him cross into this world.

"I don't know if Senior Chen knows Shen Wansan?" After learning about the history, Zhao Qing was very curious about this inexplicable celebrity, and he didn't think that the butterfly effect of Chai Rong's immortality would make this person who should have been the Ming Dynasty born hundreds of years earlier.

"Hey, Zhao Gongzi also knows Shen Wansan!" Shu Kun came out of his grief and asked in amazement.

"I've heard Chen Taoer talk about this person before, and it sounds amazing." Zhao Qing replied casually.

"It's amazing, of course it's amazing, no one knows the world-famous Wan Sanye. Hehe, speaking of Wan Sanye, he still has some connections with Zhao Gongzi. Statement Kun laughed.

Zhao Qing was moved, even a respected old man like Shu Kun had to call Shen Wansan a master, how good this guy has to mix, and he also has a connection with himself, what kind of connection is it? Zhao Qing quietly waited for the next step of the statement Kun.

Shu Kun doesn't sell Guanzi either, as if he is talking about Xingtou: "Speaking of this Wan San Ye, he, like Zhao Gongzi, is a hidden man." Back then, Sejong's illness was cured by Wan Sanye, who had just come out of the mountain. Hehe, this is really similar to Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Qing offered medicine to treat Shu Kun, Wan San Xin Yu Chai Rong, wonderful, wonderful. In the future, Zhao Gongzi will definitely be as famous as Wan Sanye. Hahahaha. "Chai Rong has a very high status among the people of the Great Zhou, comparable to Grandpa Mao's status in New China, and can have something to do with Shizong, Shukun can't help but be happy, completely forgetting that he is now a homeless person.

"Shen Wansan is a hermit? Which mountain gate did he come from, and what did he do, so that he would be famous all over the world if he saved Sejong's life. Zhao Qing frowned, and faintly found something. All the reasons for historical deviations are actually this man. Linked to the frozen throne in the mouth of Wan San Ye mentioned by Chen Tao'er, Zhao Qing had some conjectures.

"Of course not, Wan Sanye Salvation Sect is just beginning. This man was a business wizard who started his business from scratch, and his support was indispensable for the southern and northern wars in the later period of Sejong. After the founding of the country, under the influence of Wan Sanye, and Sejong was also a merchant, he promulgated the "Commercial Law Ordinance" against public opinion, which determined the status of merchants, and was no longer the end of Shinong industry and commerce. At the same time, it was declared that private property was sacrosanct, even if the emperor did not have this power. ”

The statement Kun gushed endlessly, Zhao Qing felt that his conjecture was becoming more and more true, when it came to the merchant class of China's feudal dynasty, it was really not a tragic word that could be exhausted, the idea of small farmers based on agriculture has always been implemented, and businessmen are disdainful of profit-seeking, even if there is more money, it is like a floating ping, and it can't withstand the slightest turmoil of power. It can be seen from the fate of the real Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty. However, the man who called himself Shen Wansan reversed this and put the bourgeoisie of businessmen on the political stage.

"Wan Sanye has a unique vision, coupled with his hidden background, he has a knowledge base that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, so he is ahead of everyone everywhere. He founded Wansan Bank, which replaced the silver circulation market with paper money, and provided lending services to finance merchants who did not have the capital. At the same time he was the first to look overseas ... After that, it was stated that Kun Ben Balabala told the story of a profiteer, and his tone was full of admiration, and it was no wonder that such a great rich man was not worshipped.

"It's a pity that in the end, Wan Sanye went east by boat and disappeared across the ocean, and no one saw him again." After Shu Kun finished speaking, he looked into the distance with great melancholy, as if he was going to follow Wan Sanye.

"I see, Wan Sanye really deserves to be a model for people in my hidden door." Zhao Qing laughed inwardly.

He really confirmed that conjecture now, that Shen Wansan must be a time-traveler, from his era. There are too many miraculous things in the deeds that Shu Kun said, as if Shen Wansan has the ability of foresight, he can be one step ahead of others everywhere, think what ordinary people dare not think, and do what ordinary people dare not do. Shu Kun rightfully blamed these on the hidden family behind Shen Wansan, Zhao Qing didn't believe in this kind of thing. Where did the hidden door come from, such a closed place, to be able to think of such a cross-era decree as the "Commercial Law Ordinance"? Can such a small group that dare not show it to the public can create such a complete and huge financial system as Wansan Qianzhuang? This is clearly a profiteer with a modern asset concept! He also stole the name of Zhao Qing's idol God of Wealth, and the ghost knows what his real name is. Zhao Qing felt extremely awkward in his heart.

It's like eating a fly or knowing that your wife isn't a virgin on your wedding night. It's easy for me to cross once, and I'm actually wearing a second-hand world, God knows how much the guy who calls himself Shen Wansan has instilled in this world, and whether his knowledge is still time-sensitive, and he can't turn over the waves. Thinking of this, Zhao Qing's face was bitter. But soon Zhao Qing was relieved, at least antibiotics have not yet become popular in this world. Although Shen Wansan came early, it is impossible to instill all the knowledge in the future, Zhao Qingke is an excellent college student, and many professional knowledge is still clearly in his mind, he believes that he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in this world.

"It's really a blessing to bother Senior Chen to say so much, Senior Chen has just recovered from a serious illness, so it's better to rest a lot, and come to visit again when I have time." After knowing the situation, Zhao Qing was not interested in staying any longer, although the homeless people all acquiesced that he could stay in the carriage, but Zhao Qing couldn't pull that face and lay on the carriage, even the teenage girl was walking in the snow.

"Alas, it's been a long time since I've spoken so freely, and none of the hairy boys in the clan have the patience to listen to the old man. Anyway, Zhao Gongzi will come back when he is free. "Shu Kun is indeed a little tired, he has been a little excited before, and this time he can't open his eyes.

Zhao Qing put on a down jacket and got out of the carriage with a bag and sleeping bag on his back. While the displaced people were still on the move, the carriage became the support of the group of displaced people, who were surrounded in the middle and walked on the snow with difficulty. Seeing the miserable scene outside, Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and got out of the carriage to join the queue on foot.

"Why didn't Zhao Gongzi continue to be in the carriage, it is rare to see the ancestor with such interest, Chen Xiong has thanked Zhao Gongzi here." Xiong Ye is very polite, even in the process of fleeing, he did not lose a penny, which may be the reason why this group of displaced people insists on maintaining organization until now.

"I'm a young and strong man, and I'm embarrassed to lie in the carriage, and when the question is finished, I naturally come down. Master Xiong, I don't know where our destination is? How long will it take to go like this," Zhao said.

"The largest military city near here is Ningjiang Prefecture, I heard that the Jiedu envoy and the Weibian Forbidden Army have been there recently, and the safest place in the entire Liaodong is there, we are going to take refuge there, there should be forty or fifty miles of distance, there are women and children in the team, and they can't go fast, and they will probably arrive tomorrow." Xiong Ye looked at the sky and said, with unconcealed worry in his eyes.

Such a large team, most of them are still women and children, marching in this chaotic Liaodong wilderness, it can be said that it is full of dangers, how can it not make Xiong Ye worried. They had to fight not only the cold, but also the starvation, but also the murderous Jurchens.

"Is the Jiedu envoy really in Ningjiang Prefecture, my father's letter is indicating that it will be handed over to the Jiedu envoy." Zhao Qing thought of the headless corpse, and his face turned pale.

Xiong Ye's eyes were also dim, he patted Zhao Qing's shoulder and comforted: "Zhao County Shou will not die in vain." ”

The whole team was quiet again, the cold wind blew, and from time to time someone silently fell behind, and no one noticed.

Towards night, Master Xiong finally ordered the party to stop, and set up camp at the bottom of a small dirt slope with a long forest, where there was a wide cave to shelter from the cold wind, and it was quite a good place to stay, and the homeless people built bonfires, gathered together, and ate porridge cooked from coarse grain.

Zhao Qing also frowned and drank a spoonful, and the remaining leg of mutton was also sent out by him to share with the homeless, the mutton soup made by the woman's skillful hands was much more delicious than Zhao Qing's crude roasting, but there were too many people, each person could only get a bowl of soup, and if he was lucky, he got a piece of meat, and Zhao Qing's piece was given to Shirley, if he didn't drink this porridge, Zhao Qing would be hungry.

The whole camp was silent, and not a single person spoke. Zhao Qing and a few young people in charge of vigilance leaned on the position of the side cave entrance to roast the fire, Chen Taoer didn't know where to go, although there was no joke in the morning, but Zhao Qing felt that at this moment, he really integrated into this group of homeless people.

There was some movement outside the cave, and several young people immediately became vigilant, Zhao Qing also looked at it, and found that it was actually Chen Tao'er, he dragged something to the entrance of the cave with a happy face, the speed was not fast, and obviously the thing he was dragging was very weighty.

"Chen Tao'er is back!" A young man shouted, then waved his hand at the outside of the hole.

Master Xiong stopped the commotion of the young people, and stood at the entrance of the cave with a gloomy face, looking at Chen Tao'er.

Chen Taoer finally dragged the heavy object into the entrance of the cave, threw the heavy object in front of everyone's eyes, and then sat on the ground panting, looking at everyone proudly.

It was a sheep, although the fat was not very fat, but it was tempting enough, and at the moment it was pierced by a wooden fork, and it could not die anymore.

The homeless people all looked at the unexpected fat sheep with surprise, and several women were about to come up and drag it away to deal with it, but Master Xiong stood in front and didn't say a word, and no one dared to touch the sheep.

After the commotion of the crowd calmed down, everyone looked at Master Xiong, whose face was extremely gloomy, and involuntarily retreated.

"Where did you get this sheep from?" Xiong Ye's voice was calm, but those who were familiar with him knew that Xiong Ye, who showed such an expression, was already extremely angry.

Chen Taoer was still proud of wanting to show off his trophies to everyone, only then did he find out that something was wrong with Master Xiong, what he was usually most afraid of was Master Xiong, he shrank his head at the moment, and whispered: "Just a few miles across the woods, I found it when I was collecting firewood before, I didn't see anyone shepherding sheep, it should be a group of wild sheep." ”

"Should? The wild wool was gray, and the sheep was white in color, and had short legs, and it was evidently the owner of the sheep. Xiong Ye's voice became deeper and deeper, everyone realized the problem, and Zhao Qing also found that this sheep was not the same as the real wild sheep he had encountered before.

"But I really didn't see a shepherd, maybe they were robbed by the Jurchens." Chen Taoer still wanted to defend himself, but he stopped talking as he spoke, he found the truth of the matter terrible, and his eyes were wide.

There are sheep and no shepherds, of course, this is a disaster, but the sheep are the wealth of the grassland, and the Jurchens will only kill people and not sheep?

"Dongzi, Dansheng, you two go and clean up the bloodstains, and the other people who can hold weapons will take up their weapons and guard the hole, and quickly extinguish the bonfire!" Master Xiong slapped Chen Tao'er's head suddenly, staggered him and fell directly to the ground, Chen Tao'er also knew what kind of trouble he had caused, and he got up tremblingly and quickly extinguished the bonfire with a few homeless people.

Xiong Ye and the few remaining strong men were guarding the entrance of the cave with wooden forks, and the women and children inside knew that the Jurchens were coming, and they all shrank together in fear.

Shirley's hair suddenly stood on end, and a low growl came out of her throat, apparently the beast's instincts sensed something.

Dongzi and Dansheng are the other two young people who have been with Chen Taoer, they are very brave to walk out of the hole, wanting to clean up the sheep blood that flowed all the way, but as soon as they went out, they heard two muffled sounds, Dansheng was directly pierced through the chest by an arrow, and fell down without saying a word, Dongzi was a little luckier, but he was also shot in the leg, Zhao Qing only saw an arrow feather trembling on Dongzi's calf. Dongzi's face was pale and he screamed miserably.

How could the Jurchens let a young man like Chen Tao'er steal his spoils unscathed, they found this thief early in the morning, but did not take it directly, but followed all the way, and finally found this group of homeless people.

Chen Taoer saw that his close partner was dead and wounded, and almost collapsed, he whimpered and roared, picked up the wooden fork and was about to rush outside, but was slapped back by Master Xiong.

"Don't you think you're in trouble enough!" Xiong Ye didn't even look at Chen Tao'er, roared angrily, and stood at the entrance of the cave with a wooden fork, but his body trembled involuntarily.

"Dongzi! Egg raw! Woo woo. Chen Tao'er couldn't cry anymore, and the women and children behind him also began to cry, and the pain and despair brought to them by the war broke out in an instant.

Master Xiong turned around angrily and roared: "Calm me down!" ”

The crying voice immediately weakened, and Chen Tao'er, who was choking, got up, picked up the wooden fork, and her eyes were full of anger.

Although the others were also holding wooden forks, their eyes were full of fear, and even the strong man Xiong Ye couldn't help but tremble, they had been frightened by the Jurchens, and they had lost the will to resist when their homes were destroyed.

Dongzi was still screaming, but no one went out to save him back, not far away, three demon god-like black shadows gradually appeared, they were three heavily armed Jurchen cavalry, the most terrifying existence in this grassland, and now controlled the life and death of this group of homeless people. They conversed with each other in a language that Zhao Qing did not understand, laughing strangely from time to time, full of contempt, but listening to the ears of the homeless people in the cave like devils.

Dongzi was almost desperate, and he crawled towards the entrance of the cave with difficulty, but the distance that was usually only a few steps away now seemed to be close to the end of the world. In the cave were his people, with arrows stuck in his body, and the devil was approaching step by step.

"Help me!" He wailed, knowing that if he could not get a response, even if he could return to the cave, he would not be able to avoid the three devils, and even if he escaped this fate, the person who lost one leg had lost the right to live in the wasteland.

Just as Dongzi was about to give up, a figure appeared in front of him, grabbed him by the collar of his back, and quickly dragged him into the cave.

Boom!

There were two more arrow feathers, but the crosshairs were not as good as before, stuck in the ground behind them.

Dongzi watched in disbelief as Zhao Qing dragged himself into the cave, surrounded by his frightened clansmen, just a stone's throw away, and it was actually a person with a foreign surname who rescued him.

Chen Taoer was the first to rush up, hugging Dongzi and crying.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's me who killed my people." Chen Taoer kept blaming herself.

"Enough!" Zhao Qing roared in a low voice, everyone looked over, Xiong Ye was also very surprised, this hidden young man had just done something that he didn't dare to do, if Dongzi died in front of him like this, even if they could escape this catastrophe, Dongzi's death would definitely be haunted in his nightmare in the future.

"It's just three Jurchens, there are nine of us men who can pick up arms, and you are trembling with weapons, how can you protect your wives and children, are we just going to be slaughtered?" Zhao gently pushed Chen Tao'er away, and roared angrily, his fate has been tied to this group of homeless people, if he allows the fear to spread, he will definitely die tonight.

All the men lowered their heads, and the hands holding the wooden forks gradually exerted force, so tight that they trembled, but the shaking of their bodies gradually calmed down. Behind them are their own people, and they have no way out. All the men's eyes widened, and they were bloodshot.

Seeing the blood of these people, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want his people to be killed by the three Jurchens without resistance, although the force is still inferior now, but they have the right place and people.

"Who will say Jurchen words!" Unknowingly, Zhao Qing replaced Xiong Ye and gave orders.

"I will!" Xiong Ye replied immediately.

"We're like this...

Zhao Qing and the nine men who had become warriors exchanged plans in a low voice, and at the same time, the three Jurchens had already come to the place where the egg died. They looked at the dark hole and cried out. It has always been only the Jurchens who rob other people's things, and since this group of guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead dare to steal the Jurchens' things, then they must pay the price of blood. n
