Chapter 269: Annexation of the Changbai Mountains
The Jurchens only have a name but no surname, and this situation lasted until the establishment of the Jin Dynasty later, when the Jurchens were influenced by the Han people, and then they began to take tribal names as surnames, such as the people of the Wanyan Department took Wanyan as their surname, and the Akuda who established the Jin Dynasty single-handedly named himself Wanyan Min, but most people prefer to call him Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda's greatest merit is to lead the innocent Wanyan Department to destroy the Liao State, and then like Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, he died very strangely, and after his death, he also did not pass the throne to his son, but let his younger brother Wu Qimai inherit the throne, and then Wu Qimai tore up the alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and waved his troops south to attack the Song Dynasty, which only took one year to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, and also left countless shames for the people in Kaifeng City and the Great Song royal family.
When Zhao Yan first saw the impeachment of the bowl, he thought of Ah Guta decades later, but a series of things were born later, so that Zhao Yan had no time to inquire whether Ah Guta had been born, but he didn't expect to meet the other party in this situation, and not only met Ah Guta, but also met Wu Qimai, the real culprit who destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, but the other party is still two children under the age of ten.
Looking at the two ugly-looking children in front of him, Zhao Yan did not deny that he even wanted to get rid of these two children recklessly at the initial moment, but he quickly gave up this plan, the first is that the price paid for this approach is too great, and he and Yelusi and others have to lose their lives, and the second is that he has no intention of cooperating with Wanyanbu, and he is already secretly calculating to complete Yanbu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan's gaze softened as he looked at Ah Guda and Wu Qimai. At the moment, he said with a smile: "You brothers don't have to quarrel, Ah Guda is the eldest brother, and he is naturally the leader of the Wanyan Department." ”
As soon as Zhao Yan's words came out, Ah Guda immediately showed a smile to him, thinking that this county king of the Great Song Dynasty was really a good person. However, the younger Wu Qimai showed a disgusted expression towards Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan didn't care about it at all, and even laughed secretly in his heart, Wu Qimai's throne in history was not right, it is said that he and Zhao Kuangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, killed his brother and seized the throne. Although Wu Qimai is still young, it seems that he has become interested in his brother's position.
Next, Zhao Yan asked Ah Gu a few more words, and then asked him to pick up the human head under the table, but as soon as the human head arrived, the children of the Jurchen savages immediately cheered. scrambling to kick people's heads again
Zhao Yan looked at Ah Guta and the others who were getting farther and farther away, but his eyes couldn't help but slowly become cold, the Jurchens were originally a group of uncivilized savages, such as those who gave birth to Jurchens, but under the influence of the Han and Khitans, these Jurchens learned a lot of things, so they slowly became mature Jurchens like Wanyanbu, these Jurchen tribes not only retain the fierce customs of savages. At the same time, they know how to use the tools of civilized society, and such a people are undoubtedly very formidable, especially when they have great force. In the future, it is destined to destroy civilization with barbarism, and what Zhao Yan has to do is to stop this thing from happening.
In the next period of time, the impeachment bowl led the warriors of the tribe to attack the Changbai Mountains from time to time, and every time he was able to make some gains, of course, the Changbai Mountains naturally did not stand still, and soon made several counterattacks against the Wanyan Department. However, the impeachment of Libo had already been prepared, so that the Changbai Mountain Department not only failed to attack the garrison of the Yan Ministry. On the contrary, he fell into a trap and suffered very heavy losses.
The war between the Wanyan and Changbai Mountains lasted from the beginning of autumn to the winter. Several core tribes in the Changbai Mountains were wiped out by half of the Wanyan Ministry, and the remaining tribes wanted to wait until the heavy snow closed the mountain to win a respite for themselves, but unfortunately even God helped the Wanyan Ministry, and the heavy snow that should have fallen early in previous years did not come this year, and in the end, the Changbai Mountain Department could no longer hold on, and finally expressed their submission to the Wanyan Department when winter came, and merged into the Wanyan Ministry.
At the beginning, Zhao Yan was not very interested in the war between these two tribes, but slowly he appeared, whether it was Wanyan or Changbai Mountain, the tactics they used were very flexible and changeable, and they did not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place when fighting, but mainly to destroy the enemy's living forces, of course, this is also the same as the Jurchens were originally vast and sparsely populated, and the territory was not too important to them, as long as the young men of the enemy tribe were eliminated, then the tribe would lose its resistance power.
In addition, Zhao Yan also realized that the Jurchens were very good at running battles, for example, when Impeachment Libo eliminated the tribes in the Changbai Mountains, the most important tactic was rush warfare, often he sneaked into the enemy's tribe with an elite, and then took advantage of the dawn to kill it, and the other party had no time to organize manpower to fight, so it can be said that he rarely missed.
However, compared to the tactics of the Jurchens, Zhao Yan was most impressed by the fierceness of the Jurchen warriors. There are about 2,000 people in this coalition army, and they can break through the garrison of the Yan Department in front of them, but the impeachment of Libo has already been prepared, and several of his brothers led the thousands of soldiers organized by the Wan Yan Army, and suddenly killed from behind, and defeated the coalition army of the Changbai Mountain Department at once.
However, although the coalition army of the Changbai Mountain Department was defeated, no one escaped from the team, but under the command of the leaders of various tribes, they killed and retreated, and some of the Jurchen soldiers who were killed and scattered did not receive an order, so they kept killing until they were killed by the people of the Wanyan Department, which can be said to be extremely tragic.
In the end, there was a Changbai Mountain coalition army of about two or three hundred people was blocked under the city wall, and as a result, these two hundred people fought against the wall under the command of the leader, and cut with knives when the arrows were shot, and used fists and teeth when the knives were broken, and finally these two hundred people all died under the wall, during which no one surrendered, that kind of scene not only Zhao Yan was shocked, but even Zhou Dong and these people who had been on the battlefield were also dumbfounded, and afterwards according to them, even the most elite Great Song or Western Xia army was difficult to do.
After Zhao Yan witnessed the war that was born outside the garrison of the Wanyan Ministry, he finally understood why Aguta was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of Liao troops with thousands of Jurchen troops decades later.
Zhao Yan even had the idea of recruiting a group of Jurchen troops, if he could put the army composed of Jurchens into the Western Xia and let them fight with the Western Xia people, it would be a good idea. However, Zhao Yan soon realized that this idea was a little unrealistic, the first was that after the Hu rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the two strong enemies of the Liao State and the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty had always distrusted the foreign races, and it was difficult for Zhao Shu and others to agree to recruit the Jurchens into the army. The second is that the reason why the Jurchens are desperate on the battlefield is not only because of their own character, but also because of their own tribal battles.
After annexing the Changbai Mountain Department, the Wanyan Department finally stopped sending troops and began to integrate the resources of the two tribes, and many people from the Changbai Mountain Department began to be relocated to the Wanyan Department, and some people from the Wanyan Department were also sent to the tribes of the Changbai Mountain Department, such as several brothers of the impeachment of Libo, all of whom were sent to serve as the leaders of other tribes, which was also a common practice of the Jurchens.
This morning, Zhao Yan accompanied Yelusi to breakfast, since the last time she was frightened, Yelusi had no appetite for a few days, and when Zhao Yan accompanied her, she could barely eat some, and today she only drank half a bowl of wheat porridge and couldn't drink it anymore, and Zhao Yan didn't have anything to do about it.
"The king of the county, Wanyan Ling is coming to visit!" At this moment, the sound of bones suddenly came from outside, which made Zhao Yan stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood up and greeted him.
As soon as he got out of the tent, Zhao Yan saw the impeachment bowl standing in the open space outside with a smile, and behind him, there was a car parked there, and there were many things on the car, most of which were wrapped in animal skins, and I don't know what it was?
"Wanyan Ling's arrival is here, this king is far away!" Zhao Yan immediately stepped forward with a smile.
"Haha~, the county king is too polite, some time ago I was busy dealing with the affairs of the Changbai Mountain Department, and I was a little neglectful of the county king, it just so happened that I had some things in the loot that the county king might need, so I personally sent it to the county king today!" Impeachment said and pointed to the car behind him, and then the entourage immediately moved the car down and opened it, but Zhao Yan only appeared at this time, it turned out that the car was loaded with all kinds of things, not only Han clothes, but also rice, noodles, spices and so on.
"This ...... How did these things come about? Zhao Yan was also very surprised when he saw these things, the Jurchens here are extremely scarce in materials, and when they usually go out to trade, they exchange for some ironware, wheat, salt and other necessities, like these clothes and rice noodles in front of them, which are definitely considered luxuries.
"Haha, the king of the county doesn't know, there is a leader in the Changbai Mountains who has always admired the culture of the Han people, so he learns from the Han people everywhere, not only wears the clothes of the Han people, but also learns from the Han people what he eats, but he was destroyed by me, and these things are brought back, just enough to give to the county king, I hope the county king will not dislike it!" Impeachment explained with a laugh again.
"I see, but there is a lot of trouble on the part of the leader of the Yan Dynasty, and this king is disrespectful!" Zhao Yan also immediately smiled when he heard this, Changbai Mountain also had a lot of contact with the Liao State, and it was not surprising that there was such a leader who admired Han culture, after all, even the Khitan nobles were also eroded by Han culture, let alone the Jurchens.
Just when Zhao Yan asked Zhou Tong to accept these gifts, he suddenly heard a sharp hiss in the sky, and then a black shadow rushed towards the impeachment bowl from the air. (To be continued)
