0631 [Usage of the General]
A horse-drawn carriage headed to the pier, and Yelu watched the street scenery along the way.
Once upon a time, Nanjing (Beijing) in Liaoguo was also so prosperous and lively. Now that everything is empty, the population of the Youyun states has plummeted, and the people of the Northland are no longer one in ten.
From the Kingdom of Jin to the Kingdom of Ming, the further south you go, the more it feels like coming from hell to the world.
It's a pity that I haven't stayed in Kaifeng for a few more days, and I have to go to Shandong to see Prince Zhu.
After their father and son entered the city, they didn't even have time to go shopping, and after meeting the Ming Emperor, they were invited to contact Shi Yuangong. Officials from the Generalissimo's Office, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Honglu Monastery also came to listen and ask questions, reminding them of what information they should recall.
"Ouch, bite with your mouth, bite his hand!"
"Dig out your crotch, catch him quickly!"
"King Kang is very skilled, this can be turned over."
"King Yun poke him in the eyeballs......"
The crowd of onlookers who were congesting the streets made way to avoid the carriages, and Yelu Yujian finally saw the situation clearly.
Yelu Dong really didn't understand Chinese, so he didn't take the two who were fighting seriously.
Yelu Yu was extremely surprised, and asked the officials accompanying him in the car: "How can there be King Kang and King Yun?" ”
The official glanced at it, embarrassed and amused: "It's just the royal family in the previous dynasty, the general doesn't need to be too surprised." ”
"Can the royal family of the previous dynasty move around at will in Daming?" Jeremiah asked.
The official said: "The official family is merciful, and the emperor of the previous dynasty is still an official in Shandong." ”
Hearing this, Yelu Yu was even more relieved, the Zhao and Song royal families could be treated preferentially, and he, the Liao clan, did not have to be afraid of anything.
In the center of the street, before the patrol soldiers arrived, the three brothers had already dragged Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou away.
Zhao Yan was about to complain about their disgrace, Zhao Gou had already brushed his sleeves away, and Zhao Kai also limped in the other direction.
Except for his siblings, no prince treats Zhao Kai well, and his attitude towards this product is envy, jealousy and hatred. He used to need to be scolded, but now who cares about so much? Zhao Gou had long wanted to beat him!
Zhao Kai raised his sleeves to hide his face, rented a carriage, and went straight to the suburbs.
He didn't want to go home for the time being, and he didn't dare to go back to the city again.
After the fall of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai always regarded himself as a big brother. While under residential surveillance, he often went to his younger brothers' homes to fight the autumn breeze. Later, when he got rich, which younger brother asked him to borrow money, and he lent it out without saying a word.
These behaviors were taken for granted by Zhao Kai.
He is the eldest brother, of course his younger brothers should help him when he is down, and he should naturally help his younger brothers when he is developed.
Today's words and deeds of Zhao Gou broke Zhao Kai's heart, it turned out that he was nothing in the eyes of his younger brothers.
"Stop!"
Zhao Kai stretched out his hand to take out the money, planning to find a tavern to drink.
Touching around, but finding that he forgot to bring money, Zhao Kai couldn't care about sadness, and said embarrassedly: "I have something at home, I have to go to the southwest, I want to go home first to get something." ”
Zhao Gou went to the Circle Society to find fox friends to play football.
There are two main rules of Kemari in Tokyo today. One is performance-based, following the Song Dynasty gameplay; The other is competitive in nature, using the rules improved by Prince Zhu.
Either way, it's very popular.
"Yo, Jiurou is here again." The swingers had mocking expressions.
These guys, with the children of the powerful of the New Dynasty as the core, also absorbed many children of businessmen, and at the bottom were a large group of helpers.
And Zhao Gou is essentially a helper.
He didn't want to be like this, but the real scholar circle was vigilant about Zhao Gou's identity. He can only brush up his sense of existence in the circle of low-level scholars, and at the same time run to help these gentlemen, eating and drinking all day long, and at the same time, he can also find some opportunities to climb up.
Zhao Gou bent down and smiled flatteringly: "I've kept my brothers waiting." ”
"Has this engagement ever been withdrawn?" A prodigal asked.
Zhao Gou replied: "Retreat, don't worry about the Naluo family." ”
Another swinger laughed: "How much money did you lose?" ”
Zhao Gou replied: "Not much, and it's not for money." ”
"Hahahaha!"
The crowd began to laugh, they liked to play tricks on the Zhao Song royal family, and there was a perverted pleasure of trampling on the nobles.
Zhao Gou could only greet each other with a smile, follow these guys to have fun at night, and eat and drink in high-end entertainment venues.
When the wine ended, Zhao Gou wandered the streets of Tokyo, blowing the night breeze and looking up drunk to see the bright moon.
He felt that this was not a way out, especially after a fight during the day, which completely became the laughing stock of the people of Tokyo.
After saving money for another half a year, you can try to write a letter to the imperial court, asking to move to other places with your wife and children. The more remote the place, the better, the gentry in the poor countryside has little knowledge, and he, the former royal family, can be respected.
When you go to a small place, spend money to buy land and property, make friends with local celebrities, and live better in the second half of your life.
This is broken in Tokyo City, whoever loves to live in it, anyway, Zhao Gou doesn't want to stay for half a day.
……
However, it was said that Yelu Yu saw the father and son, and was escorted out of Tokyo and took a boat all the way to Shandong.
From Kaifeng to Jinan, the whole journey can be taken by water, and the middle has to pass through Liangshan Shuibo.
The surrounding prefectures and counties of Liangshanbo have also experienced a sharp decline in population, and even fishermen have become very few, but after all, the chaos of previous years has not been restored.
People don't want to go through the war disaster anymore, and even the scattered thieves in the mountains are recruited to the people one by one and sent to the borderless land for reclamation.
"Jin Guo will definitely not be able to win against Ming Guo." Jerodun really said.
Yelu Yu said: "Of course, you can't win, the Ming Dynasty only needs to hold the city, and the Jin Kingdom will have civil strife." The Jin court has food but lacks soldiers, Wanyan Zonghan has soldiers and lacks food, if he can't go south and loot, Wanyan Zonghan will have to fight with the Jin Emperor sooner or later! ”
Yelu Dong Zhen said: "The child is saying that we have traveled all the way, and the business travels in the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty are like weaving, and the fields are all over the place. On the other hand, on the Yunzhong (Datong) side, all industries were depressed under the rule of Yan Zonghan. As long as the Ming border army does not lose the city, even if it loses ten or twenty times, it will still be able to fight in the coming year. And what about Wanyan Zonghan? After losing three or five games, the follow-up will be weak. ”
"Indeed!" Yelu Yu nodded.
More than a hundred years ago, the Jurchen tribes were still in the primitive society of clan communes.
In the past hundred years, the Jurchens have finally developed from clan communes to slavery by leaps and bounds.
But the situation is extremely complicated, and in the transition from "hunting" to "farming", clans and slavery have always been mixed.
From clan communes, to large family communes, and then to small family private ownership, this kind of civilization process that jumps several levels in a row is almost simultaneously carried out in all parts of the Jin Kingdom.
Until half a century later, Yue Fei had been dead for decades, and the Jin Kingdom was still "privately owned by small families and cultivated by large families". When the farm is busy, the patriarch can mobilize all resources, including the slaves of the small family, and have unified command of the labor of the entire family's land.
In the past two years, the Jin State not only migrated a large number of Xi people and Bohai people, but also migrated the Jurchen tribe to the north, and brought the Meng'an Moke system over.
The tribal aristocratic slavery system of large families and small families began to be implemented in the sixteen states of Youyun. Countless Jurchen slaves were redeemed as free people, and countless Han and Bohai people became slaves, carrying out very inefficient production activities in the Youyun region.
In those places, it was even worse than when the Liao State was under rule, and every month people fled south, or simply rebelled and fought guerrilla attacks in the mountains.
For example, the monks of Wutai Mountain, under the leadership of the abbot, united the local gentry and people, and have been drilling ravines to deal with the Jin people for more than a year.
The Jin people's rule in the north was a mess, and they were really looked at by Yelu Dongzhen. At that time, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and when he came to Daming to take a turn, he found that the national strength of the Jin Kingdom was too fragile.
Yelu Yu sighed with emotion: "The Liao State did not die in Jin, but in civil strife." As long as the Ming Dynasty does not have civil strife, why is it afraid of the Jin Kingdom? ”
This is the truth in Yelu Yu's heart, he still looks down on the Jin people, thinking that they are a group of uncivilized mountain barbarians.
As for Jin Bing's terrifying combat effectiveness, he was selectively ignored by Yelu Yujian.
When he saw Zhu Ming in Jinan, Yelu Yu bowed his head and bowed, knelt on the ground and said with tears: "Yelu Yu, a remnant of the Great Liao, meet Langjun, the Chinese prince of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"General, please get up." Zhu Ming smiled and supported.
Yelu Yu said: "The Jurchens are barbarians, and the Ming Dynasty, the Great Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty are all China. The Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty did not cultivate virtue and politics, and they were peeped at by the barbarians, and now the Great Ming Ze was driven back to the wild land by all the people! ”
Zhu Ming took Yelu Yujian's hand and said: "The general's words are wrong, it is not a wild place, it is actually the homeland of China. The Jurchen people had been uneducated for a long time, so they became barbarians, and they were bewitched by ambitious people, so they became barbaric like beasts. Now that the general is here, he should help me recover my homeland in China and re-educate the people there. If someone is stubborn and would rather die than obey the king, then they can only be killed. ”
Yelu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then made an excited look: "The prince Langjun is eloquent and strategic, which is really embarrassing for the ministers. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, those Jurchen barbarians should indeed be educated. ”
Zhu Ming asked: "The Khitan tribe has been relocated a lot by the Jurchens?" ”
Yelu Yu said: "The Khitan and Han people in Yanshan, except for those who died in famine and war, were all relocated by the Jin State. Last year, the Xi people and Bohai people were moved to Yanshan, which can be regarded as changing the people there. The people who have been migrated have many resentments in their hearts, and who wants to leave their homeland? It is nothing more than that there are few Jurchens, and they are afraid that all ethnic groups will rebel, and it will be better to rule after random migration. ”
Zhu Ming asked: "If you cross the sea from Shandong and go to the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom with the army, can you be sure of plotting against the Khitans?" ”
Yelu Yu said: "The people of the ministers were moved to Chenzhou (Gai County) by the Jin State. As early as the beginning of the migration, there were many ethnic groups who conspired against Jin. As long as the ministers lead the troops to kill them, the clansmen will definitely come to vote enthusiastically. ”
"Fabulous!"
Zhu Ming said with a smile: "Before the fight in Hebei, you crossed the sea in Shandong with the army and went to Chenzhou to recruit the old Khitan department. I will provide you with armor, form an army on the spot, and turn the whole of Liaodong upside down! ”
"The minister will live up to the prince's trust!"
Yelu Yu was so excited that he immediately knelt down, he could finally command the army again, and the soldiers under his command were still his own people.
Yelu Dongzhen couldn't understand Chinese, but when he saw his father's performance, he also guessed what was happening, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
