There were several Jurchens walking towards Zheziyu, and as soon as they saw Zheziyu welcoming them, several Jurchen warriors immediately stopped and saluted her chest, with a very respectful attitude......

The Jurchens, like the Dangxiang people, were also subordinate to the Central Plains Empire during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. At that time, they were called the Su Shen people, and during the Yu Shun period, the Su Shen people once contributed bows and arrows to the Son of Heaven. When Yu Ding Kyushu, the surrounding tribes came to pay tribute with their posts, and there were also Su Shen clans. When King Wu of Zhou, he paid tribute to King Wu of Nan and Ya Shi, and when the Zhou people enumerated their territory, they called the land of Su Shen, Yan and Hao, which was the land of my north.

For thousands of years, this nation has always thrived strongly in a difficult environment, and the Sushen people in the Later Han Dynasty were called Lulou. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was also called Beji, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was called the Yan Dynasty. During the period of Wu Zetian, the leader of the Yan Ya Da Zuorong established the Bohai State, and all the tribes of the Yan Ya were attached to him, and the Bohai State was destroyed by the Liao State more than 200 years later.

The Jurchens in order from south to north, the more they are closer to the Song Liao, the more relatively civilized and developed, but this kind of wealth is only relative to their own people, compared to the Song Liao they are still very poor and backward, except for hunting, pepper picking and simple farming, they have no other means of survival, the relatively developed areas after mastering a certain navigation ability, some people cross the Rì Strait, often go to the Rì Ben Islands to fight the autumn breeze.

The last time they came, that harbor had fallen into the hands of the "Lord Fujiwara", the Bianhe Gang had been operating Caoyun for many years, and had extremely powerful latent forces, Zhang Xinglong and Xue Liang saw that the imperial court was very urgent, and decided to move to Rìben for refuge, so they no longer had any scruples, mobilized all their strength, mobilized hundreds of large ships, and moved all the gang brothers and their families who were willing to follow them away.

In this way, they suddenly had a powerful naval army, although this naval army is composed of Jianghu people, but compared to the rì water army, it is not inferior to the sè1rì water army at that time There were no large warships, although they had a "brilliant record" with the Tang army Baijiang water battle, but at that time, the strength of the country, raised more than 1,000 ships, more than 10,000 sailors, in the Tang army of 7,000 people, less than 200 kinds of warships under the blow of the defeat of the defeat, rì himself himself said in the history of "the time of the moment, the official army was defeated", the remnants of the rì collection rushed upThey were also rounded around by the Tang Army, burning more than 400 of their "warships", and countless people drowned in the water.

With only a hundred ships, it can be trapped that thousands of warships could not break through, and they were destroyed by fire, which shows the size of their warships, and the Tang army had seven thousand sailors and one hundred and seventy ships, and the Rì army only had three more people than them, so they had to use more than a thousand warships, and it can also be seen from the number of people on board their warships what kind of goods their so-called warships are.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, the navigation technology of the Central Plains was further developed, the shipbuilding industry was more advanced, and the gap between them was even greater, although the ships of the Bianhe Gang were not official warships, but they transported goods, and they operated Rìben, Goryeo, and Luzon, and the ships were not only strong and fast, but also used force to deal with pirates, so the slightly modified ships were already very good there.

Because of the hard life, the Jurchens have cultivated a body of courage and a strong body, and the three of them can hunt tigers together, but these Jurchens who fight the autumn wind meet the water heroes of the Bianhe Gang, not only do they not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but they are also intercepted by people in boats when they want to escape.

In her opinion, these Jurchens are still very useful, especially when the main island is isolated overseas, and the systems of the Song and Liao countries are relatively perfect, so it is inconvenient to have too many actions there, and the Jurchens facing each other across the strait have the value of use.

If the wealth here wants to be transported to the Central Plains in the future, there must be a wharf opposite and a connector. In charge of the access to the sea, apart from Song Liao, there are only Jurchens. At the same time, the relationship between the Jurchens and the Liao State is not good, although their strength is not enough to contend with the Liao State, it is still possible to contain the Liao State, and the excerpt Ziyu has never been naïve because the alliance between the Liao and Western Xia is conducive to jointly dragging the Song State, and the two countries will become close and fraternal countries, there are only interests between countries, no Song is an enemy, and Liao is an ally. If they can have a closer connection with the Jurchen tribes that are attached to the Liao State but have conflicts with the Liao State from time to time, perhaps they will become a surprise soldier all the way......

Out of precautions, Zheziyu spared their lives, and established trade relations with them, buying their furs, mountain treasures, herbs and other goods at a very fair price, although Zheziyu's help to them was insignificant to herself, but for these poor Jurchens, those incomes were enough for the tribesmen to live a more comfortable life. Their original products were purchased by the Liao and Song people at a very low price, because they had no other market, they could only swallow their anger, and the show of grace of Ziyu made them very awe of this mysterious "five princes".

This time, they rented the big ship of the Bianhe Gang and brought more goods, which were nothing to the Bianhe Gang, which had transported priceless silk, tea, porcelain and other Central Plains financial systems, but they were of great significance to them, so Zhu Lizhen, the young patriarch of the Anchegu tribe, personally escorted the battle and led the warriors of the clan to transport it.

Zheziyu left Zhang Xinglong to clean up the battlefield, and he accompanied these Jurchen warriors back to the city. After receiving pearls, ginseng, raccoon dog skins and other land and water treasures, Excerpt Ziyu invited them into the living room and set up tea to treat each other.

Zhu Lizhen sat cross-legged, stretched out his hand to brush his braids, and said respectfully: "Fifth Prince, the goods transported this time are all the goods that our Anchegu tribe has been able to handle so far. The things that were picked and hunted last winter were sold cheaply to the Liao and Song people before that, but in the future, as long as we need the fifth prince, we will not sell another thing to these black-hearted merchants who take advantage of the danger. ”

Yu Wan'er smiled and said, "Okay, how many of these things do you have, how much I want." ”

She paused for a moment, and then said, "I will take as much as you have, the more the merrier, and the price is fair, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Zhu Li Zhen was overjoyed when she heard it, but Zhen Ziyu was also secretly happy in her heart, the Jurchens had no ability to sail, so they could only sell things to her cheaply, and she changed hands and sold them to the Song Kingdom, Luzon, Jiaozhi and even farther away, making a profit of more than ten times, in view of this, she felt that the merchants of the Song and Liao countries were too dark-hearted, so these Jurchens were too poor, and the goods that were so profitable that they couldn't even do food and clothing, she really couldn't do such a businessman.

At that time, the Jurchens, women braided their hair in a bun, and men braided their hair after hanging down, unlike the later Jurchens, the Jurchens at that time had two braids, and the braids were tied with ribbons, and the rich would decorate them with pearls and jade. It stands to reason that the head of the clan is the richest person in the clan, but the braids on the back of the head of the young patriarch in front of him are not silk, but cloth dyed with sè, and there are two pieces of jade pendants, but they are also the worst quality jade, which is not worth a few dollars at all. The young patriarchs of the clan are so shabby, and their rì can be imagined.

Zhuli was really happy in the form of sè, and hurriedly bowed in thanks, took a sip of tea, smiled and said: "By the way, I need a lot of goods, once in the ocean, I always have to bring more goods to return the cost." I've collected some local real estate from my own country, and it's not enough to bring it from you, and you say it's a ...... of all the goods since last winter, and it's not much. ”

Excerpt Ziyu shook his head lightly and sighed: "It's not that I can't eat, but I don't have enough to eat." ”

Her pair of wonderful eyes were slightly true, and when she saw him showing a panicked appearance, she was at a loss for what to do, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly: "These mountain people ......, it seems that my words have to be more clear." ”

Excerpt Ziyu said lightly: "One of your tribes can't get enough goods, so what about several tribes?" It seems that the young patriarch can contact a few more tribes, and if he can collect more goods, I will send a few more ships and leave. As for the price, you don't have to worry about it at all.

Zhu Lizhen hurriedly said: "Zhu Li really believes in the fifth son, naturally he doesn't worry about the price, it's just ......"

Zhu Lizhen's face showed a look of embarrassment, but he stopped talking, and the excerpt knew that the territory of the Jurchens was very poor, and there was also competition between various tribes, and the Anchegu tribe met the noble man of Zheziyu, and he wished to monopolize this source of wealth, making the Anchegu tribe the most powerful clan among the Jurchen tribes, and how could he let other tribes hitchhike.

Excerpt Ziyu smiled lightly: "Actually, the young patriarch of Zhuli doesn't have to worry at all, I am a businessman, as long as the goods are fine, it doesn't matter who trades." So...... The young patriarch can buy the goods of other tribes from other tribes at a price higher than that of the merchants of Song and Liao, and I will buy them from you at a fair price, even if I advance some gold and silver to you first. In this case, those weak tribes will inevitably take refuge in Anchegu, even if they are strong, they have to look up to your snort and look at your face, isn't it better for the Anchebone tribe? As far as I know, Wanyan, Jiagu,

The strength of the Shuhu, Tudan, and Wulin Tribes is not under your Anche Bone Division, and the Wanyan Tribe, the Shilie Tribe, and it is still your feud, if the Anche Bone Department does what I say, what ability do they have to compete with you? ”

Zhuli is really not stupid, as soon as he heard this, he woke up in shock, and carefully tasted the words of Jie Ziyu, and his heart was even more excited, and he immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for the guidance of the fifth prince, Zhuli really knows how to do it." ”

Zhen Ziyu smiled with satisfaction, and Zhu Lizhen paused again: "After Zhu Lizhen goes back, he will handle this matter according to the instructions of the fifth prince." But...... The next time I come, I'm afraid I will have to stay next year. “

Folded Ziyu's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said in surprise: "Why does it take so long?" With the great ships I have provided you, and the experienced sailors, and only a narrow strait, do you need to be so careful about the winter climate? ”

Zhu Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "The fifth prince misunderstood, I said that I can only come again next year, not because I am afraid of the wind and waves, the big boat provided by the fifth prince is really stable, so why not be afraid of some wind and waves." It's just that...... Because it's time to hunt Haidongqing. ”

Excerpt Ziyu smiled and said, "Won't it? How many people are in your tribe? How many eagles do you have to hunt, but you still have to raise your clan into battle? ”

Zhu Lizhen's face turned red and said, "This...... It's not that Haidongqing is difficult to hunt, it's really ...... Hi! ”

Zhu Lizhen slapped his thigh heavily and said: "We call ourselves Jurchens, in our language, this Jurchen means Hai Dongqing", Hai Dongqing "Although small in size, it is a very fierce eagle, which is originally the best assistant of hunters." However, it is not so important, so important that our whole clan has to leave our livelihood to falconry, and our tribes value falconry so much, it is really unspeakable hardship. “

Zhen Ziyu became interested, and said curiously: "The young patriarch might as well talk about it, listen to you, I am also a little interested in this eagle." ”

Zhu Lizhen licked his lips and said: "After the Liao State destroyed the Bohai State, we Jurchens were attached to the Liao State, and since we became vassals of the Liao State, we had to pay tribute to the Liao State. ”

Zhen Ziyu said with a smile: "Since you are a minister, of course you have to pay tribute, which is also reasonable." “

Zhu Li Zhen said: "Yes, but my Jurchen people are poor, and we are poor and don't even have a pot for cooking, so we have to rely on the Liao State for alms." There is nothing that can make the Liao royal family look good, so the things that are paid every year are very shabby. Later, the royal family of Liao, the powerful lords began to be keen on hunting, they found that Hai Dongqing is the best falcon, and they are all proud of owning a Hai Dongqing, so they go around pinching and scraping Hai Dongqing.

And this Haidongqing is only produced in the territory of our Jurchens, so the Liao State listed Haidongqing as one of the tributes, stipulating that we must pay a certain amount of Haidongqing every year, and if we can't do it, we have to pay five times the tribute. Our Tribe...... It's too poor to be able to afford those taxes. However, Hai Dongqing is not a mouse, it can be everywhere in the mountains, this kind of eagle is also a rare thing in our Jurchens, and now only the tribes in the north still have it, in order to be able to hunt the eagle, we will get the northern tribes, and the northern tribes also regard this eagle as the most valuable property, how can they give it up?

So...... It is said that it is a falcon, in fact, every year for the falconry, our southern tribes have to fight with the northern tribes, once the eagle is caught, in order to take the eagle as their own, our southern tribes have to keep fighting ...... before,

The more Zhu Li Zhen said, the heavier his face became, his brows twisted into a big pimple, and he said with some sadness: "My second brother died tragically under the arrows of the Wanyan tribe warriors for the sake of fighting for the eagle, and I have three ...... It was also for the falcon, but he was crippled and paralyzed, and he was originally the first warrior of our clan, such as ...... Now I can only collapse in bed, and even eating and defecating have to be taken care of. ”

Zhu Lizhen punched his thigh hard, and tears glistened with tears in his eyes. Behind him, several Jurchen warriors hung their heads in disgrace.

Excerpt Ziyu frowned and thought for a moment, gradually revealing an appreciative look, and asked: "Lie Hai Dongqing as a tribute, if there is no Hai Dongqing, pay five times the tax, when is this the rule?" ”

Zhu Li Zhendao: "It is the decree promulgated in the second year when the Empress Dowager Wu became the empress, Emperor Liao was sick, at that time, Empress Xiao was already in power, because our Jurchen tribe suffered from tribute, so Niangniang issued this will." ”

Zhen Ziyu stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes and asked, "Then ......, your third uncle and your second brother all ended miserably because of the falcon, do you hate Empress Xiao?" ”

Zhu Lizhen shook his head heavily: "What is there to hate, allowing us to pay taxes with Haidong Qingyuan is actually a good thing, after all, as long as we hunt eagles, our tribe can save a lot of money every year, and some people can starve to death less." Although it is said that there is a war for the sake of falconry, in fact, rìzi is better than before. ”

Zhen Ziyu smiled lightly, raised a pair of plain hands, and applauded lightly: "Good means, good intentions, this son really admires this Xiao Niangniang a little now." ”

Zhu Li was really suspicious: "What did the fifth prince say?" ”

Yu Yanran said with a smile: "In ancient times, there were Yan Ying and two peaches to kill three soldiers, and now there is Xiao Fei Condor Chaos Jurchen, who is really a heroine among women, if there is a chance, I really want to fight with this Xiao Niangniang." “

Zhu Lizhen glared and said, "What...... What two peaches, what kind of eagle is the goose eagle? ”

Excerpt Ziyu laughed "sneering", and then said: "This is an allusion to the Central Plains, don't say it." What I mean is that Xiao Niangniang did not want to list Haidongqing as a tribute, reward the leaders of the tribes, and indulge them in their voices and horses, but wanted to avoid the unity of the Jurchen tribes. For the sake of Haidongqing, the Jurchen tribes killed each other, and Xiao Niangniang's couch was very safe. ”

Zhu Lizhen's eyes widened, like a man-eating tiger, staring at Zhen Ziyu deadly, the horizontal flesh on his cheeks twitched suddenly, his god gradually turned hideous, his temples jumped angrily, and the green tendons on his forehead were tensed, like green earthworms, it didn't seem scary, but Zhen Ziyu just sat for a long time, the wind was light, and his spirit was calm.

"I see, I see, I ...... so"

Zhu Lizhen muttered for a long time, and suddenly roared, and the big iron fist of the bowl slammed down, "boom", the solid dwarf in front of him was smashed by his punch, the fist was broken, and the blood flowed, but Zhu Lizhen didn't realize it, just gritted his teeth and said: "It turns out ...... So! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xixia, Xingzhou, and Yang Hao made a final decision and decided the life and death of the Tuotou Han Chan brothers, but the matter did not end there, but set off a more powerful storm.

Tuoba Han Chan's brothers were sentenced to death, and the Dangwu tribe completely took the chieftain system, and all the people were organized into one ti for every ten households, one team for every five tithes, one brigade for every two teams, and one regiment for every five brigades, and several regiments were merged into one corps, and the chiefs, captains, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and corps commanders and their deputies were appointed by the imperial court at all levels, and each day was divided into a control level, and the system of moving to the left was determined by the evaluation of political performance.

In this way, these shepherds were fit to continue to maintain the characteristics of the nomadic life, and their leadership was firmly in the hands of the imperial court, even if the corps commander had unscrupulous ambitions, and his deputies, as well as the regimental commanders, brigade commanders, and their respective deputies, because the power of appointment and dismissal was not in his hands, it was more difficult than before to mobilize them as before, and to direct them to be enemies of the court according to their own will.

The king actually wanted to kill Tuoba Han Chan's brothers, and the king actually canceled a hereditary tribe of chieftains because of the crime of Tuoba Han Chan and the others, and directly incorporated it into the jurisdiction of the imperial court, this move was like a hornet's nest, and the nobles of the Tuoba clan were sad and angry, they had never been so united as now, they had never abandoned their wits like now, and they sincerely joined hands and decided to fight back in order to protect their rights and interests.

The strongest reaction, put forward the Qing king's side, punish the seeds, and order Yang Hao to take back his life with soldiers, but at the moment this view is not the mainstream, the pressure mainly comes from Li Zhiyi, although this old man single-handedly planned this incident to criticize Yang Hao, but he didn't want to oust Yang Hao from power, anyway, Yang Hao represents their Tuoba family, if Yang Hao steps down, the old man really can't find a person from his nephews who is so promising to come out and pick up the beam, that is to tear the Western Xia Kingdom apart, The end of the Tuoba clan may not be better than it is now.

But he is not willing to admit defeat, and he has to make a final struggle.

Although Li Tianlun, Li Jitan, Tuoba Cangmu and others had long known that Yang Hao had taught those Tuoba clansmen who regarded themselves as relatives of the emperor in order to be strict in terms of discipline, they did not expect Yang Hao to do such a desperate thing, and actually completely disintegrated the Luwu tribe and canceled the hereditary right of the head of the department. They also have their own clansmen, not only in the court, but also the leaders of their own tribes, and they are also instinctively resistant to Yang Hao's approach.

But they also know that they have gone too far, there is no turning back from the bow, they have now completely broken with the traditional forces among the Tuoba clan, and their fate and future are all tied to Yang Hao, they can only move forward, and there is no way back. Once Yang Hao is defeated, at most his power will be weakened, and this king will be reduced to a khan-like figure who is not strong enough, and they, the traitors of the Tuoba clan, will only die without a place to be buried.

Their people will be swallowed up by other tribes, and their wives and concubines will become the playthings of other chiefs.

Therefore, when they heard that the clansmen secretly gathered in tandem and plotted against Yang Hao, they were even more anxious than Yang Hao, and they couldn't wait to go to the palace to report the news to him, the only thing they wanted was to ask the king to strike first!

Yang Hao is an old god, leisurely. He didn't seem to believe that those frustrated nobles dared to rebel against him, in his opinion, these guys were just like women, playing some means of crying, making trouble and hanging themselves, he was very intimate to appease these Tuoba clan people who had already stood on his side, and then happily worked hard with Princess Flame to create people.

Since knowing the reason for their infertility, Yang Hao has been hoeing every day, sweating and dripping into the soil, doing his best, sparing no effort, under his efforts, it was the youngest Miaomiao who was the first to get pregnant, and then the owner of Qingyin Xiaozhu sniffed the greasy and began to retch, but Tang Yanyan's abdominal skin was still as flat as before.

Mrs. Yan was so anxious that she went to ask Dong'er for a decree, and announced that she would dominate the harem before she successfully gave birth!

Monopoly is better than competition, seeing that the blessing of Qi people has become the solo dance of the Flame Queen, Yang Hao also wants to work hard to change this situation, so he uses a steel gun to resist the war every day, even if the two of them are newly married, they are not as good as they are now.

Li Jitan and the others had no choice but to go back and secretly mobilize their own people and prepare for contingencies.

Ten days, a snap of the fingers have passed, today is the public to cut Tuoba Han Cicada, Tuoba He Shao's rìzi, the whole Xingzhou has geared up, this morning, a horse came to the dust, from Ganzhou to a military post messenger, back three red flags, with 100,000 urgent military reports, galloping to the palace!
