Chapter 18: The Jurchen Kingdom of Jin
Last time, Zhou Tong and Yue Fei came down the mountain and went to Ma Rulong's barracks.
Halfway through, Yue Fei asked Zhou Tong: "Why didn't Senior Brother Luan go to Huashan to find you back then?" ”
Zhou Dong smiled: "Your senior brothers and you have not been enlightened by the elders of the master's sect, and they are not Huashan disciples, they can only be regarded as my Zhou Dong's apprentices, even if they go to Huashan, they can't find the mountain gate." My Huashan lineage is different from other Taoist sects, and only by cultivating the golden pill can I be qualified to enter the mountain gate and become an introductory disciple. When you build the foundation completely, the master will naturally help you condense the golden pill and let you go to Huashan to receive a gift......"
The master and apprentice walked as they talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the barracks
When he arrived at the barracks, it was getting late, and Ma Rulong was pacing outside the barracks, preoccupied.
When Ma Rulong saw Zhou Dong's master and apprentice, he hurriedly invited the others into the tent and let the others leave, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, how is the situation on Qilin Mountain?" ”
Zhou Tong touched his beard and said, "If you go up the mountain today, the only result is that the whole army will be wiped out." ”
Ma Rulong was flustered for a while, and asked, "Who is the strongman, so powerful?" ”
Zhou Tongtong gave Ma Rulong a thumbs up and said, "Whether it is martial arts or strategy, it is not weaker than my apprentice Lin Chong." ”
Ma Rulong's face was as earth-colored, and he naturally said to himself: "How is this good? ”
After a pause, Zhou Tong asked Ma Rulong: "How can the Daimyo's Mansion be so sure that there are robbers on Qilin Mountain?" ”
"It was the words mentioned by the robbers on the ship carrying the Flower Stone Gang, which read, 'Those who take the Flower Stone Gang, the heroes of the Daimyo Mansion Qilin Mountain'" Ma Rulong replied: "Moreover, a month and a half ago, Chenjiazhuang, under the jurisdiction of the Daimyo's Mansion, was borrowed by a group of robbers, and the bandits also reported that they were bandits in Qilin Mountain. ”
Zhou Tong thought for a moment and said, "That means that the government doesn't have any real evidence to confirm whether there are really bandits on Qilin Mountain?" I don't know the actual situation on Qilin Mountain? ”
Ma Rulong nodded again and again and said yes.
Zhou Tong had a plan: "Rulong, why don't you go back to the Daimyo Mansion to report it, saying that the Qilin Mountain Grass Kou has been frightened and has fled without a trace." I'll go up the mountain with you again to catch up with you. ”
Ladies and gentlemen, Zhou Tong's method is the rule of the rivers and lakes, when the king of Tota Chao Gai robbed the birthday gang, Song Jiang privately released Chao Gai, and Chao Gai turned around and reciprocated with a large sum of gold and silver, which is this rule. It's just that providence made people, and Chao Gai's letter to Song Jiang was picked up by Yan Poxi, and all kinds of incidents were caused. It's an old saying.
Ma Rulong saw that it was Zhou Dong who came forward, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to follow the plan.
That night, the master and apprentice rested in the army.
Early the next morning, Zhou Dong's master and apprentice bid farewell to Ma Rulong and went up to Qilin Mountain.
Ma Rulong led the brigade to the Blocking Horse River to disturb for a few days, and then returned to the Daimyo's Mansion to resume his life.
………………………………………
It is said that Zhou Dong's master and apprentice came up to the mountain, and when they saw Luan Tingyu, they asked: "Why did you write an inscription on the Huashigang boat and blow up your hiding place?" ”
Luan Tingyu lowered his head and replied, "If that's not the case, how can you attract Sun Li?" ”
Zhou Tong was furious when he heard this: "Dare to love you, you still want brothers to kill each other?" ”
Luan Tingyu didn't even dare to say that the master was in charge here.
Zhou Tong snorted, and then told Luan Tingyu about the agreement with Ma Rulong.
There is a deputy commander of the Daimyo's Mansion to help secretly, and Luan Tingyu is naturally happy. Back then, a little Song Zhisi could also take care of Chao Gaiduo, not to mention a deputy commander. One of the most important is to be able to communicate with the government.
Zhou Tong asked Luan Tingyu again how to resist the encirclement and suppression of the government.
Luan Tingyu replied proudly: "The teacher's skills are all over the sky, so he naturally wades across the river. Ordinary people can only pass through the ferry, and I already have ballistas, blade cars, and crash cars at the ferry, and unless I use a big boat, I can't even cross the Blocking Horse River. When we build a big ship, we have already fled. What's more, the imperial court wanted to clean up Liangshan on a large scale back then, and it was also prepared for five or six years. After five or six years, the world may be about to change. ”
Ladies and gentlemen: Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, experienced five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and was very worried about the rebellion of the princes and generals, so after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the local officials were mainly civil officials, and the slightly larger army movements had to be reported to the imperial court, and the procedures were cumbersome. The weakness of the Song Dynasty has something to do with this.
"Changing the sky?" Zhou Tong's heart tightened.
Luan Tingyu nodded and said, "The teacher doesn't know. The Liao people have occupied our land for more than 100 years, they have learned the language, clothing, etiquette and even fun of the Han people, and the folk customs have become weaker, they have learned the management system of the Song Dynasty, the officials have become more and more corrupt, and the armed forces of the army have become weaker and weaker, even more so than in the Song Dynasty.
The Jurchen people in the north have long lived in the bitter cold land outside the pass, the environment is harsh, the people are fierce, and all the people are soldiers. The leader of the Jurchen tribe, Wanyan Agu, was wise and martial, not only with superior force, but also attached great importance to the use of equipment, and specially hired and even forcibly captured craftsmen and blacksmiths in the Central Plains. And over the years, he has been recuperating, and his ambition is far more than Da Liao.
By the time I left, Wanyan Aguta had already begun to attack the Liao Kingdom, and in my estimation, within three years, the Jurchens would be able to destroy the Liao and attack my Song Dynasty. At that time, the court will still have time to come to me for bad luck. ”
"It's only been three years, so fast?" Zhou Tong was muttering to himself.
Luan Tingyu hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?" ”
Zhou Tong sighed: "I, Huashan, have already calculated that there will be a catastrophe in the Song Dynasty, and the lives will be ruined, and my Han people will have a catastrophe, and the situation may be worse than in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms." It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast, and it seems that our arrangement is going to speed up. ”
Zhou Tong thought for a while and asked Luan Tingyu: "When you were in the Jin Kingdom for a long time, where was the strength of the Jurchens?" ”
Luan Tingyu invited Zhou Tong and Yue Fei into the big tent. The three of them surrounded the bookcase, Luan Tingyu took out a stack of paintings out of nowhere, spread them on the bookcase, and said: "Let's look at this first painting first: the Guanwai is rich in high-headed horses, and the Jurchens are mainly cavalry; The iron ore outside the border is abundant, and the folk forged iron, the weapons are mainly long knives, big axes, long-handled maces, Jurchens are strong and strong, very brave. ”
Luan Tingyu pulled out the second painting and said, "This is the second painting: there are two special combat battalions in the Jurchen army, and this is one of them, and the name is 'Tiefutu'.
The Iron Floating Slaughter Battalion is actually a hoplite infantry battalion. The soldiers of the Iron Floating Slaughterhouse were all selected strongmen from outside the fortress, and their bodies were covered in special heavy armor, which was tightly protected from top to bottom, and only their faces were exposed. These soldiers stood still as if they were a small iron stupa, hence the name 'Iron Floating Buddha'. ”
Luan Tingyu pulled out another painting and continued: "This is the third painting, and in the painting is another special combat battalion of the Jurchens, whose name is 'Kidnapping Horse'.
This kidnapping horse actually originated from one of the five tiger generals of Liangshan back then, a chain horse under the command of the double whip Hu Yanzhuo. At that time, when Liangshan returned from the southern expedition to Fangla, most of the leaders died, and there were only a dozen people left who could fight well. Hu Yanzhuo was awarded the command of the imperial camp soldiers and horses, but in less than half a year, he was accused by Gao Yu and demoted to a commoner, and his brother Hu Yanzhuo was also killed.
The horses of the Great Song Dynasty were thin and slow, and Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses back then was thirty horses in a company, while the Jurchens were tall horses and fast horses, and they could only have three horses in a company. From a distance, it looks like the two words 'kidnapper' are connected, so it is called 'kidnapping horse'
The horses and cavalry were covered in heavy armor all over their bodies, and the impact was extremely strong, and once they charged, they crushed the opponent, whether it was infantry or cavalry, it was difficult to resist. ”
