Chapter 136

"How many days does it take to leave the Sumire? I have promised to end the war in three months, before June. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has calculated the time, and the minister should be able to complete the preparations in early May, and then launch an attack on the Ming army. If it follows the lì, it can drive the Ming army to Yanyun, and even if it is conservatively estimated, it can force the Ming army to retreat to the south of the Luan River. In this way, no matter what the emperor wants to fight with, he can bargain with the Ming State and be invincible. ”

Yelujing has reached the point of desperation, he stared at Yeluxiu, hoping that the result would be as Yeluxiuge said, and at this point, he could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Suddenly, Yelu Jing patted the dragon case and said: "Yi Li Jin is my confidant, I trust you as if I trust myself, you let it go, I give you the right to act cheaply, all the military and political affairs south of Beijing, Yi Li Jin will not report and deal with it himself, and I will share the affairs of the court for you." ”

Yelu Huge's eyes were filled with tears, and he thanked him movingly: "The minister will go to the soup for the emperor to repay the emperor's appreciation." ”

In fact, there is not much land south of Shangjing now, which is still under the control of the Liao State, but for Yelu Huge, it is enough, all he wants is time and Yelu Jing's spiritual support, and nothing else matters.

Jerushuge thus began preparations for war that lasted for nearly two months.

……。

Li Jianxun has been stationed in Luzhou for more than two months, since the separation of the two routes with the Bailikang soldiers, he originally adopted the strategy of sticking to the city of Luzhou, as the Bailikang troops continued to expand the results of the battle, the front had advanced to Shen and Tongzhou. Li Jianxun was also a little unwilling to be lonely.

The occupation of Shen and Tong Prefecture by the Bailikang Department made the Luzhou garrisoned by Li Jianxun's troops have no worries, and the Bohai Navy to defend has not yet arrived. Li Jianxun ordered 30,000 troops stationed in Dongying Ming to march north from Luzhou to the south of the tributaries of the Mingtong River, preparing to use the Mingtong River as a defensive line to block the Bohai Navy.

From Luzhou City to the south bank of the Mingtong River, hundreds of miles apart, Li Jianxun took advantage of the situation to defeat the 2,500 defenders of the Nuzhi Hui Brigade, and recovered the Hui Brigade.

The Hui Babu belongs to the "mature woman straight", that is, the mature woman is true. Originated from the "Prudent" race. From the Han to the Jin Dynasty, it was called Rulou, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was called Beji, and from the Sui to the Tang Dynasty, it was called Heishui Yan. During the Liao period, it was called "Jurchen". The period when the national form was basically formed was around the time of the Tang Dynasty.

At first, there were dozens of them, and then they gradually developed into seven. It is mainly distributed in the area of Sumoshui (now Songhua River) and Heishui (now Heilongjiang). The most powerful are the millet and black water musket.

The development level of each part of the Yan Ya is different, and most of them live by horn bows and arrows shooting, and live in earth holes.

The southern part of the millet is more advanced. Crops such as millet, wheat, and corn are grown. Pigs and horses are raised, rice is used to make wine, and pigskins are used as clothing. The northernmost part of the Black Water Department uses iron tools and makes good use of homemade poisons to apply arrows to shoot birds and beasts.

In 698, Su Mo Jin founded the Zhen State (also known as the Bohai State), and its leader Da Zuorong was named the King of Bohai County in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (713). Placed the Khan Prefecture and awarded the Governor of the Khan Prefecture. Since then, the jurisdiction has been named Bohai.

In the thirteenth year of Tang Kaiyuan, Heishui Mansion was placed in the Heishui Prefecture area, and its leader was the governor. The rest of the ministries were subordinate to the Governor's Office and were called prefectures. The leaders of each ministry are the state assassins, and the Tang faction is supervised by the chief history.

In 926, it was attacked and destroyed by Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of Liao, and was renamed Dongdan.

The Khitan policy towards the Jurchens was to implement "divide and rule". They deceived the surname of Qiangzong to the Liaodong Peninsula and incorporated it into the Khitan nationality, which was called "Hesu Pavilion", also known as Hosu Pavilion and Hesu Gon, which means "fence" in Jurchen language. These people are "mature women". The other part stayed in the north of Sumoshui (the northern section of the Songhua River) and the east of Ningjiang Prefecture (now Fuyu County, Jilin), and these people were the "Shengnuzhen". The descendants of the Black Water Turtle are the main body of the birth of a girl.

The Liao Dynasty also set up some special palaces, with the aim of governing the Jurchens with Jurchens. The Northern Jurchens are distributed in the middle reaches of the Liao River, and Liao is under the jurisdiction of the Great King's Mansion of the Northern Jurchen Kingdom and the Northern Jurchen Terracotta Division; The Southern Jurchens are distributed on the Liaodong Peninsula, and Liao is under the jurisdiction of the Southern Jurchen Kingdom and the Southern Jurchen Tanghe Division; The Yalu River Jurchens are distributed in the Yalu River area, and the Yalu River Jurchen Grand Palace is under the jurisdiction of Liao; The Jurchen part of Changbai Mountain is distributed in the area of Changbai Mountain, and Liao has the jurisdiction of the Jurchen Mansion of Changbai Mountain; Pulumao Duobu; It is distributed in the Hailan River basin, and is under the jurisdiction of the Dawang Mansion of the Pulu Maoduo Department.

But the two peoples have a deep hatred for a bird, which sounds a bit like a fantasy, but such a bizarre thing really happened in reality. Before Yelu Deguang established the Liao State, the Jurchens and the Khitans were still relatively harmonious, but since the Khitans established the Liao State, they began to exploit the Jurchens, and the Liao rulers demanded tribute from the Jurchens every year, the most important of which was this bird - Haidongqing.

Haidongqing is not simply a species that truly exists, similar to the phoenix totem worship of the Han people. The word "Xiongkuru" means the highest and fastest bird in the world, and has the meaning of "God of Ten Thousand Eagles". It represents the spirit of bravery, wisdom, perseverance, integrity, strength, pioneering, enterprising, always upward, and never giving up.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, "Haidongqing" was already a valuable tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty of the Yan Dynasty. Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once had a poem: "Dancing with wide sleeves, like a bird coming from the east." “

It is not easy to capture and tame Hai Dongqing, and there is often a saying among the folks: "Nine deaths and one life, it is rare to find an eagle".

After capturing the wild Haidongqing with a falcon net, you should thank the "Eagle God" for your gift. Take it home and put it on the shelf in the eagle room, add "foot trips", do not let it sleep for a few days and nights, wear off the wildness, and call it "boiling eagle". Then through the guò "over the fist", "running the rope" and other links, then the eagle can listen to the shout of the hunter to the hunter's arm. The ultimatum guò to the eagle's "fat", scraping out the intestinal oil, makes the eagle hungry, but muscular, easy to capture prey. The tamed eagle can go to the mountains and wilderness to "release the eagle". The eagle erector stood on a high place and watched, and let people beat the bushes with sticks to blast out wild objects, commonly known as "rushing to war". When the eagle finds that there is prey running or flying out, the eagle will immediately scream and swoop down to capture the prey, and the eagle should rush to take down the prey as soon as possible, and only give the eagle some animal offal, not to feed, the so-called "eagle is full and does not take the rabbit", this is the truth.

For this reason, the Jurchens almost captured all the Haidongqing in their territory and paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty, but they still could not satisfy the greedy Liao rulers. In addition to squeezing money from the Jurchens, the Khitan nobles also asked them to offer beautiful women to stay with, neither asking whether they were married or not, nor asking about the level of the family, and arbitrarily humiliating them, calling them pillows. This aroused the incomparable hatred of the Jurchens even more. (To be continued......)
