Jurchen independence

There was a sentence in the official document of the decree of that year: "... There are Yin and Yang blessings and weird and grotesque techniques, and they have the name of Mr. Priest, and the official is regarded as Zhenglang, and the number of graces is more than the Taoist flow, which means that people with special functions are treated higher than officials and ordinary Taoist priests!

On December 8, Ye Luyan, a member of the Privy Council of the Great Liao Governor and the author of "Liao Shilu", died. Yelu Yan is quite incorruptible, but his biggest drawback is that he can't run his family with courtesy. For example, his nephew Li Chuwen is a big embezzler who makes everyone shake their heads. Xiao Fengxian, the third traitor and privy envoy of the Northern Court, had a deep relationship with Yeluyan. died, and Xiao recommended Li Chuwen as the prime minister. This is another "major contribution" made by the third traitor to the Great Liao country after letting go of Yan Aguda at the head fish banquet

In December, Wu Yashu, the leader of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, died, and his second brother, 46-year-old Jin Taizu, Wanyan Aguta, officially succeeded to the throne.

Now, there is a huge conjecture that has tormented generations of scholars, and for more than 1,000 years, no convincing conclusion has been reached. It comes from a Lidi Questionnaire:

Great Liao State - the northeast of the territory to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River; north to the central part of Mongolia Lenga River, Shilka River; west to the Altai Mountains; From the south to the present, Haihe, Baxian County, Hebei Province, and Yanmen Pass in Shanxi. There are 5 capitals, 6 prefectures, 156 prefectures, and 309 counties. The population is prosperous, the war rider is million, and for more than 200 years, he has been the bull ear of East Asia, commanding the world, and dare not obey! It is a non-Han race that has truly become the most powerful country in East Asia. What a great honor and coercion is this?

Looking at the second number, the Wanyan Jurchen Department - before the appearance of Ugunai, it had a slight presence among the dozens of tribes in the gathering place of the Jurchens, and that's it. Ugunai worked hard all his life, and the wealth he saved was to annex more than a dozen tribes. It seems to be very fat, but during the period of impeachment of Libo-Yingge, the inheritance of the three brothers defeated the Fushi Lie Department and developed into more than 30 tribal alliances. Most of the Jurchen tribes fell into their hands. It's really powerful to look at. But in reality? The hereditary breeding place of the birth of the girl is north of the Dongmo River, south of the Ningjiang River, and more than 1,000 miles away... In other words, there is only a radius of 500 kilometers. Speaking of wealth, only local products such as mink, ginseng, beeswax, linen, etc., are all things that can be transformed into wealth after trade. From this point on, it was doomed that the Jurchens had no wealth, and if the Khitans said that they would not buy it, they would not be able to sell anything... Let's talk about history, the Jurchens have always been vassals before this, and who is stronger around them. They obeyed whomever they were, and never straightened their backs and became masters of their own affairs!

Comparing the above strips, which point can prove that the Jurchens, specifically Wanyan Aguta, when facing Yelu Yanxi, why was he angry? Why did you dare to resist?

There's no way to explain it! This kind of self-confidence, this kind of self-confidence, no matter what era, where, or identity, is bound to succeed! Believe in your own belief that you will definitely succeed. We can only come down to fate ... Some people are incredible, and we can only conclude that.

After Yan Aguda became the leader, he officially informed the Liao people almost immediately: I am going to rebel! Because after he took over at that time, he was busy day by day, doing things and doing things. I forgot the most important thing!

The responsible department of the ethnic minorities in the northern part of Liao State waited for many days, but they didn't see him come to hand over the transfer procedures, and finally became angry! Send a special person to ask Ah Xibao to ask, "Your leader is dead, why don't you come to report the funeral" The implication is obvious: Your entire tribe is the property of our Great Liao Kingdom. The transfer of property rights requires our approval! You have inherited it privately, don't you know that it is illegal?

Unexpectedly, Ah Guda smiled coldly: "Do you also know that there is a funeral here?" Knowing what he said, he didn't come to mourn for him, but blamed us for his guilt."

The people of Liao couldn't believe their ears! What is the relationship between the Liao State and the Jurchens? How does the two compare? This is a good face and a bone fight, and it is actually blamed that we didn't come to mourn? He actually equated the status of the Jurchens with our Great Liao Kingdom!

Anything else to say? Go back and report to the Emperor right away! There is a rebellion in the north. Send troops to destroy him! That's the way it is, it's very simple, it's normal, it's very frequent, the northern frontier of Daliao has been rebelling all the year round, and Xiao Yanyan's eldest sister and a generation of famous generals Yelu Xianzhen are all stationed in the north and can quell the rebellion at any time!

The Jurchen Ministry is finally showing its edge! That is the person who overthrew the huge Khitan throne, and that is the enemy who brought great pain to the Han nation! Its rise has caused countless creatures on the East Asian continent to suffer, and it can be said that from every angle, it is the sworn enemy of the Han nation! But it is undeniable that its first generation leader was an indisputable, courageous, resourceful and ambitious top-level hero!

At this time, the news of the rebellion of the Wanyan Jurchen tribe spread, and soon reached the front of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liaotianzuo. It is said that there is no need to think about it, just send troops directly! But Yelu Yanxi is a different person, his life will always suddenly pause at critical moments, as if he is a robot, and he has to shut down and restart in case of trouble...

He asked very cautiously: Is there really a rebellion? Not necessarily, right? You send someone to observe it again, don't look for trouble... This order made the entire Liao army depressed. What does it mean to have nothing to do? Rebellion is sometimes a matter of facts, sometimes it is a matter of attitude! How many years of experience in counterinsurgency show that no matter whether the other side rebels or not, as long as there is that attitude and that sign, we must teach a hard lesson! Only in this way can the hidden danger of rebellion be fundamentally eliminated!

Soon the news came back, and after saying that, Yan Agu was repairing the castle and building weapons, which was the most obvious prelude to the rebellion, and it was 100% accurate. But Yelu Yanxi was still hesitating. He thought about it for a while, and actually sent someone to ask.

In July of the 4th year of Zhenghe (1114), Ah Xibao came to the Jurchen tribe again, "After Yan Aguta, what do you want to do when you repair the city and train the army"

Aguta replied very seriously, "We are a small country, and we dare not be rude to serve a big country." But the great powers not only do not show us favors, but also shield our fugitive prisoners. What is the reason for this" The fugitive prisoner refers to Ah Shu during the Yingge period. Remember him? The former chieftain of the Sushi Lie tribe fled to the Liao Kingdom to seek refuge after being defeated by Ying Ge. Brother Ying, Wu Yashu, and A Guta all wanted this person, but the Emperor of Liao was indifferent...

It is impossible to give it back to you! That would lose the absolute right to speak for more than 200 years. What is Imperial Power? It is to reverse black and white, refer to the deer as a horse, and say whatever it is! So don't give it back to you! even have to raise him and make Ah Shu a time bomb in the Jurchen tribe! If necessary, the Liao State could send heavy troops to escort Ah Shu back and regain control of the Sushi Lie Division, which would fundamentally disintegrate the foundation established by the Yan Department for four or five generations...

Therefore, Ah Guda constantly recalls the old things, "If you return Ah Shu, then everything is business as usual." We surrender. Otherwise continue to build the castle."

Things are finally out of the question! Yelu Yanxi ordered in his busy schedule: Levy and send all the armies north of the Hunhe River, led by the Northeast Road Commander Army, to give birth to Jurchen to quell the rebellion!

It's not easy to finally send troops! Here is a whisper: Yelu Yanxi is very busy, he has a full schedule every day, today he has to hunt in the east of the empire, tomorrow he will go to the west of the empire to hunt, and the day after tomorrow he will go to the south... In short, every forest and lake in the vast empire has left his imprint, and everywhere he goes, he causes a wild animal to cry and howl... Yelu Yanxi loves hunting, just like Zhao Ji likes gold and stones, flowers and birds, and danqing, which are all brought by nature, and no one can change them. I can't shake the situation...

The Liao army is assembling, and the Jurchens have sent troops. Ah Gu fought and scraped together, mobilized his son, nephew, nephew and other relatives, mobilized all the family funds accumulated from his grandfather Ugunai, and finally got 2,500 people. With so many people, he began to embark on the journey of the Dajin Kingdom to destroy the Liao and Song Dynasty...

In the face of these 2,500 people, what kind of mood would Wanyan Aguda be like 900 years ago? Will he be proud? He will! He had seen who his opponent was up close at the head fish banquet, which made him full of confidence! Everything that happened after that proved this, before the two armies clashed. Every move he makes, it is on the initiative! The passive one is Yelu Yanxi, who has millions of soldiers in his hands!

Therefore, Wanyan Aguta counted the oppression of the Jurchens by the Great Liao State and the service of the Jurchens to the Liao State with a glorious image at the oath meeting. Of course, he mentioned Ah Shu again. This is an evil deed that all Jurchens cannot tolerate, and the Khitans will definitely pay the price!

After that, the audience should cheer for a while. But as long as he glanced at the audience, his heart would immediately be cold. 2500 people? This person is not even enough to lead the horse to the imperial camp of the Great Liao Emperor. What's more, these people are all disheveled and have rough knives and guns. Even the horses he rode were not saddled. What's worse is that these people's attitudes are not so positive! Think about it too! These 2,500 people were originally from different tribes, and they were all robbed and swallowed by the Wanyan family with knives, and they were already resentful. Why do I want to help you now? What's more, it's facing the Great Liao Kingdom! At this time, even if the author travels back and takes out a full set of "Golden History", tell them how bright your future is... No one believes it!

So Ah Guta quickly said another thing: "You work together! Those who have merit, slave subordinates are commoners, commoners are officials, and those who were originally officials are promoted according to the size of their merits! If you break your oath and die, your family will not be pardoned. The sentence of death is not a threat, Ah Guda really brought a big stick to the scene and showed it to the audience! With such a combination of grace and power, these 2,500 people finally followed him to the front line!

Imagine that moment, Wanyan Agu was agitated, and he mustered up the vigor of his whole body to encourage and drive this nation that was originally full of resentment but did not want to resist, to take the initiative to challenge the invincible monster that has existed for more than 200 years! So: the first battle must be won!

In September, Aguta led his army to the area of Ningjiang Prefecture. This is the junction of the Great Liao and the Jurchen, and when the Jurchens arrived, the first batch of Liao troops also arrived, with a total of 800 cavalry from the Khitan and Bohai tribes! Right! You read that right, just 800 rides! Among them, the Bohai people are the remnants of the Bohai Kingdom who were destroyed by Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Great Liao, and this is Yelu Yanxi's prediction of this war. What is the so-called birth of a Jurchen? But they are wild men dressed in animal skins, riding bareback horses, and carrying unedged battle axes! Even if each of them is stronger than lions and tigers, when facing the regular army, it is just a hunt! In fact, this is really the case, 2500 Jurchens against 800 Khitan and Bohai mixed cavalry, and the war record is actually all the personal performance of the perfect Yan Agu!

Wanyan Agu shot an arrow and killed the opponent's main general, Yelu Xie Shi, and took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation. His son Wanyan Zonggan was surrounded by enemy cavalry, and he rushed over to rescue him. Someone secretly released a cold arrow, but he dodged it, reflected an arrow, and shot the enemy... After a series of performances, Wanyan took off his armor in the bitter cold and rushed into the enemy group almost shirtless! This is a symbol of courage and bravery! We can marvel at the courage of Aguta. On the other hand, what can you think about? He's going to fight the vanguard? He went to save his son? He wants to dodge the cold arrow himself and fight back in person?

Did he go to the battlefield alone? Where did those 2,500 go? Do you want to go shirtless after the last? This is the fate of Wanyan Aguda! The flood was approaching, and he had to pierce the point where the embankment broke alone! This is the truth of the year, this is how 2500 Jurchens defeated 800 mixed miscellaneous armies!

After the victory, Aguda found that his goal had been achieved. The Jurchens really had a lot of spirit, they went straight to Ningjiang Prefecture, the copied guy first leveled the trench, and then attacked the city wall, the Liao people in the city saw that the situation was not good, and some people took advantage of the chaos to run out from the east gate. The Jurchens chased after them and all of them were cut down. After that, he came back and continued the siege. This couldn't be more obvious, they didn't want to let go of any Liao people in Ningjiang Prefecture!

On the other hand, someone came from the rear. Ugunai's grandson, Wanyan Sagai, sent his son to congratulate his cousin Aguta, and the congratulatory message reads: "Brother, you have won!" That's awesome! Brother, I'm proud of you! In this way, I don't think the emperor of Liao will live long, you will be the emperor now..."This is Ah Guta's cousin, his senior assistant? Defeat 800 enemies and besiege a border state city, and then you can be called emperor? Poor Jurchens, do they have brains?

One point to note in particular is that the son who came to congratulate him is a big man, his name is Wanyan Zonghan, and the Han people will commonly call him "Sticky Han" in the future

After sending his nephew back, he ordered to attack the city with all his might, and before the Liao reinforcements arrived, he was bound to capture Ningjiang Prefecture!

It can be seen from the above that the Jurchen Wanyan at this time was ridiculously ignorant. The people above talk nonsense, and the people below are tied to their hands and feet. Among them, the only one who is sober and rational is Wanyan Aguda! What a terrible thing it is for him to take such a group of clansmen who grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, who don't know anything, and who have never seen anything, to conquer the outer world!

Of course, he didn't have to be afraid. He has a good helper who is unwavering and always reliable! With this person here, everything is easy to say. This man's name is Yelu Yanxi!

History testifies: Yelu Yanxi's contribution to the Jurchens is no less than that of Wanyan Aguda! At every dangerous moment, he will extend a warm hand in time and send the most selfless help!

For example, at this time, the Wanyan Jurchens, who walked out of the mountains for the first time, surrounded Ningjiang Prefecture City and gathered people to smash the wall, which was an extremely rare bad incident since the establishment of the Great Liao State! The border was reported to Yelu Yanxi as quickly as possible. If he fully understood and ordered the assembly of a large army to go out quickly as the emperor, then with the defense of the border town of Ningjiang Prefecture, the Jurchens had just fought a battle and wanted to win and were afraid of losing, and the current situation that they were not bold, once the speed of the march was timely, then the Jurchens had no choice but to abandon Ningjiang Prefecture and run back to their hometown to avoid disasters! At that time, the economy of the Jurchens was cut off first, and he was surrounded and starved for more than half a year, and then the army pressed over, what did the semi-primitive and semi-slave Jurchens not die? With the courage and invincibility of beating a person with a perfect face, do you want to pull it back? No matter how rebellious he is, his individual ability may not be stronger than that of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and it will be quite tragic to stage the Jurchen version of embattled at that time... In a word, there is a way for the superpower to bully small tribes, as long as the cards are played normally, there is no possibility of losing!

But Yelu Yanxi was busy, he was hunting in Gyeongju at that time, enjoying the heroic life of galloping horses between heaven and earth, shooting bears and killing tigers. Seeing the urgent distress letter, he thought about it and decided to go through the normal procedure and do business - ordering Haizhou Assassin Shi Gao Xianshou to take the Bohai Navy over to relieve the siege!

But Gao Xianshou's reinforcements were like expired pesticides, not only failed to kill the insects, but raised the insects to grow quickly. (To be continued......)
