0632 [Squeezing the people's power]
Liaoyang Mansion.
Due to the fact that the Denglai Ming army plundered the coast of Liaodong many times, and Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang urged them to send troops, Shangjing (Harbin) finally sent people over.
One is for conscription, and the other is for food!
The man in charge of conscription and food collection was named Wanyan Ang, and he was the younger brother of Akuta.
This thing will only charge into battle, and the domination will be close to zero.
He was responsible for receiving the surrender of the Liao State, forcing the surrendered tribes to rebel against the Liao, and was so angry that Wu Qimai wanted to kill him, because he had just ascended the throne, he turned to the rod and scolded seventy.
is so good, this year he actually served as the left capital supervisor of the Marshal's Mansion, responsible for recruiting troops and levying food in Liaoyang Mansion, Guangning Mansion and other places.
It can be seen that Wu Qimai really can't suppress the court!
The head of the civil officials of Liaoyang Mansion is called Zhang Xuansu, who was born in the Bohai Gao family. His great-grandfather changed his surname to Zhang when he descended to Liao, and later Zhang Xuansu backstabbed Gao Yongchang to reduce Jin, and since then he has been reused by the Jin State and ruled Liaoyang.
When Yan Ang put forward his request, Zhang Xuansu was taken aback.
Zhang Xuansu was puzzled: "Liaoyang Mansion issued 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 people, although it is difficult, it can be done. It's just that...... There is really no grain for 150,000 stones, a lot of grain and grass were levied in the past few years, and the people took a breath a little last year, but where did they get enough for 150,000 stones? ”
"Gather the major families in Liaoyang, you will discuss it yourself, and each family will share a fixed number," Wan Yan Angcai didn't care about this, and said with a hideous expression, "If you can't make up the number, you will be dealt with by military law!" ”
Zhang Xuansu wanted to speak again and again, but finally accepted the order: "The minister tries to raise as much as possible." ”
Everyone knows that Wan Yan Ang is cruel and brainless, and he said that if he wants to be dealt with by military law, he will definitely kill people's heads.
Wan Yan Ang said: "The soldiers issued by Liaoyang, let your brother lead it." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Xuansu was not surprised by this.
Liaoyang Mansion is the Tokyo of the Jin Kingdom, and all the big families here are married to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.
For example, Li Hongyuan, who later took his son to seize the throne of Emperor Yan Liang, is the daughter of the Li family in Liaoyang, and is also related to Zhang Xuansu. The battle to seize the throne was to raise troops in Liaoyang, and the backbone of the army were all Liaoyang clans.
The rapid sinicization of the Jin Kingdom is also the strength of the Liaoyang clan in secret!
In the hands of these big clans, there are even many Jurchen slaves, who have been ransomed as free people by the Jin State in recent years.
After Yan Ang gave the order, he immediately went to Guangning Mansion, that is, the area of the Liao River Valley, and he also issued an order to Guangning Mansion to recruit troops and levy grain.
As for Zhang Xuansu, he could only do things honestly, call the Liaoyang clan together, gritted his teeth and provided soldiers and grain and grass to the Jin State.
They are one with the Jin Kingdom, and they have long been bound by marriage, and almost all of the two generations of the Jin royal family and the second wives are from Liaoyang.
……
Wanyan Ang took a circle around Quang Ninh Mansion, and soon went to Hosuguan Road (which basically coincided with the jurisdiction of Gaizhou City in later generations).
When the Liao Kingdom was called Chenzhou, it is now called this broken name because there is a Jurchen tribe called the Husu Pavilion here.
When the Jin Kingdom attacked Gao Yongchang, Hu Shimen, the Jurchen leader of the Hosu Pavilion Department, claimed that his ancestors had migrated from Goryeo. And the ancestors of Aguta also moved from Goryeo. So he helped the Jin State to fight, and made a great contribution, not only ruling Gaizhou City from then on, but also changing the name of the clan to a place name.
Hu Shimen himself has since been renamed Wanyan Hu Shimen, and Aguda himself gave the royal family surname.
In order to centralize power, the Jin State has changed the Hosuguan Road to a military marshal system, and the military and political chiefs must be appointed by the imperial court. But out of practical considerations, after Hu Shimen's death, he still let his son Wanyan Hook Room inherit.
It has undergone the reform of Anmouke and the specific implementation of the feudal lord slavery.
The Jurchens of the Hosu Pavilion Department all moved out of the nearby mountains. A total of four Meng'an were set up, there were probably more than 1,000 households, each Meng'an leader was a small lord, and a large number of Liaodong Han people were used as slaves.
In addition, there were Khitan and Xi people who moved inward, as well as a small number of Han and Bohai landlords. These forces belonged to the freedmen, and there were more or less slaves, and the landlord tenant system had long since collapsed.
"You can be plundered by the Ming Kingdom here?" Wan Yan Ang asked.
Wanyan Hook Room said triumphantly: "There are Jurchen male soldiers here, how dare the Southern Barbarians come?" Those Han people in the Ming Kingdom were all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they only dared to plunder the places where there were no Jurchen sons. ”
Wan Yan Ang said: "Before September, in addition to gathering Jurchen warriors, you must also issue at least 3,000 soldiers of all ethnic groups and raise at least 15,000 stone of military rations. ”
"How can you get fifteen thousand stones?"
Wanyan Hook Room suddenly cried poorly: "The year before last, I went with the army to conquer the Song Dynasty, and only brought back many slaves, but some of the goods were divided, and the grain was eaten halfway." I have a sparse population here, and I don't have much harvest from farming, so where can I get 15,000 stone of grain? ”
Wan Yan Ang said: "The imperial court is such an order, you have to think of it yourself." This time, the whole country will be able to win a big victory, and the Ming Kingdom will grab as much as it wants. ”
"That's what I said last time, how can it be so easy?" Wanyan Hook Room is full of resentment.
After all, this is a Jurchen nobleman, Wan Yanang's attitude is not so bad, and he said: "12,000 stones, it can't be less." I will subtract you from 3,000 stones, and I will go somewhere else to make up for it. ”
"I try to collect as much food as possible, but don't blame me for not collecting enough." Wanyan hook room doesn't say anything to death.
He belongs to the Jurchen aristocratic warlords, and the military and political power is grasped, and the territory of Gaizhou City is full of his tribal private soldiers. The Jin court has always wanted to take back power, but it can't do anything at all.
Not only could it not take power, but the Jin court had to coax it, and it had to rely on the Jurchens of the Suguan Department to control the Liaodong Peninsula.
Otherwise, how can you give a complete surname?
"Dada......"
A fast horse came from the north, and the messenger rushed into the city, and soon found Wanyan Hook Room: "Yelu Yu saw that the father and son had defected, and His Majesty had an order to kill all the men in his family, and the women and children were all slaves!" ”
"Got it." Wanyan Hook Room took the holy decree with his hand.
Wanyan Zonghan didn't know where Yelu Yujian had fled, but he just routinely reported to the Jin Imperial Court, and by the way, urged the Imperial Court to quickly collect grain and grass.
After going around Harbin, Wu Qimai's holy decree finally came, ordering the execution of Yelu Yujian's entire family.
……
Yelu Yujian's family, in the middle of the city, was soon surrounded by Jurchen soldiers.
Adult men were beheaded, and women and children were held into slavery.
Yelu Yujian's wives and concubines, but all those who are not very old, were all accepted by the Wanyan Hook Room.
When the news broke, the Khitan tribes who were forced to migrate here became even more resentful of the rulers of the Jin Kingdom. Before they migrated, some family members were killed in tandem. During the migration, and at the beginning of the migration, many ethnic groups died of illness and starvation, because the Jin State did not do a good job of migration and resettlement.
Only a few days after Yelu Yu saw that his family was killed, Wanyan Hook Room issued another order to sign a military order and a grain requisition order, and every household had to send troops and food.
Landlords who have slaves at home have to provide slaves as their husbands.
The Han people, the Khitans, and the Bohai people all suffered from this. There are no big clans here, and once they are requisitioned, they will be reduced to cannon fodder.
There was only one month, and the militia and food had to be delivered on time outside the city of Jian'an.
In the village under the mountain more than 30 miles away from the coast, the Khitan leaders in the vicinity gathered to discuss.
"Where can Dutong (Yelu Yujian) escape?"
"I don't know, maybe Ben Xia went."
"Why don't we run away?"
"This is the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, where can I escape?"
"I heard that the Han soldiers plundered along the coast, so it is better to go to the Song Kingdom."
"Song Bing is cowardly, I'm afraid he can't beat the Jin people. There are golden soldiers guarding here, and they don't dare to come and plunder. ”
"I heard that the Song Kingdom is gone, and what is the Ming Kingdom in the south now."
"Who did you listen to?"
"A while ago, someone came to collect mountain goods, and I heard from the merchant. He said that it was not the Song soldiers who crossed the sea to plunder, but the Ming army. ”
"How can we swim across the sea without a boat? Besides, there are many people, how can the elderly, weak, women and children escape to the sea? ”
"Alas, it's conscription and rationing, how will you live in the future?"
"If we don't give it, the Jurchens will come and rob it. Looking forward to winning the battle, go to the Song Kingdom to grab some back, maybe you can survive this winter. ”
"It's the Ming Kingdom, not the Song Kingdom."
"It doesn't matter which country he is, he can only rob it with the army."
“……”
Not only these Khitans, but also the people of Hosuguan Road, as long as they are not Jurchen, they are all in mourning.
They kept some of the grain, buried it in jars, and waited for the government to scavenge it from house to house. The men in the family wiped their rudimentary weapons, and when the deadline was approaching, it was time to go on the road, and they didn't know if they would be able to come back after going to the army.
Countless slaves continued to work for their masters, and in a while they were to be sent to work as civil servants.
This situation appears in various places in the country of Jin.
The Jin country has gone completely crazy, there is no bottom line to squeeze the people's power, and it has to go south to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
When dealing with Liao, they were like this, winning bets again and again. It doesn't matter how many people starve to death in the country, as long as they win the battle, they can replenish it, and as long as Allah is still there, they are not afraid of rebellion.
Often, before the front line is finished, uprisings break out in the country, and the common people are forced to rebel again and again.
Han, Xi, Khitan, Bohai...... All ethnic groups have rebelled experience, but unfortunately they were successfully suppressed by the Jurchen soldiers every time.
Therefore, Jin Guo is not afraid of the people rebelling, and he will be done with a handful of killing.
The population is just a consumable, and there are many Liao and Han land, so they can always be grabbed back to replenish.
After a round in Liaodong, Wanyan Ang returned to Liaoyang and waited for the militia to assemble in various places.
Soon, Wanyan Yan's mother also came to Liaoyang, and he wanted to take the troops here to Yanjing to join Wanyan Zongwang, and by the way, he served as Wanyan Zongwang's supervisor.
Wanyan Zongwang's strength is weak, and he still has to listen to the Jin court, and he doesn't dare to openly call out like Wanyan Zonghan.
"There is an urgent report on the road of Haosu Pavilion, the southern barbarians are coming across the sea to kill, and the rebellious Yelu Yu is also there!"
"What?"
Wanyan's mother was still gathering troops and food, and she received an urgent report from Wanyan's hook room, saying that Jian'an City (Gaizhou City) was besieged by the Ming army.
After reading the letter asking for help, Wanyan Yan's mother was shocked and angry: "Give orders to all departments, and immediately follow me to reinforce Haosuguan Road!" ”
