Wanyan Zongwang's violent death did make the top Jurchen nobles more "united".

However, this has nothing to do with the people of all ethnic groups, and even with the middle and low-level generals of all ethnic groups!

Wanyan Zonghan and the others quickly returned to Jinguo Shangjing, wanting to determine a new power structure as soon as possible.

Wanyan Xiyin was left in Youzhou to preside over the affairs of the displaced people.

The Jurchens and Bohai elite soldiers went out in all directions to supervise the relocation of the Han, Xi, and Khitan peoples, and immediately suppressed them by force once they found anything abnormal.

In order to show their sincerity, the Jin soldiers first evacuated from the two cities of Guiyi and Yongqing to the north with the people of all ethnic groups. At the same time, Li Bao took the soldiers and the people to board a ship from Haibin County to hand over the territory.

Immediately, the Jin people sent fifty mares, all of whom were under the age of ten.

And Daming transported 80,000 stone wheat, which was regarded as a down payment for the grain.

Everything became harmonious, at least on the surface.

Due to the fact that the population of the Jin State was too small here, when the people were migrated, they let all ethnic groups cultivate around the key cities. Even the remnants of the Liao diaspora left their homes and moved closer to the city, re-establishing villages on the outskirts of the city.

Wanyan Zongwang wanted to let the leaders of various ethnic groups and the local gentry be officials and generals, and then send the relatives of these people to Liaodong as hostages.

By controlling the chiefs and gentry, they indirectly controlled the people in their territory.

The same is true of this relocation, they only focus on the chiefs and gentry, and then let the chiefs and gentry organize the people to move away.

On the outskirts of Xincheng County.

Xi Shuli glanced at the officers under his command and scolded angrily: "Do you want to rebel? ”

A Xi officer named Ma Liu said: "We first moved from Yanshan to Liaodong, and then from Liaodong to here, and now we are going to be moved away again." The tribesmen reclaimed a lot of land before and after, and as soon as they were cultivated, they had to move again, and the government did not give any compensation. How many people have died in these migrations? Do you want more people to die? ”

Another Xi officer named Guanyinu said: "If we fight, we will charge to our death, and if we withdraw our army, we will be sent to death after our palace." What are Xi people in Jinguo? Dogs are inferior! ”

As soon as the words fell, another veteran said: "Our people have worked hard to farm, but there is not enough food to eat, and they have all been requisitioned by the Jin people to make military rations." Our men are conscripted to fight wars as soon as they reach adulthood, and now there are more than twice as many women as men. If there are a few more battles, I'm afraid that only women will be left! ”

"Now it is rumored that the Ming Kingdom is willing to accept the people of all ethnic groups, as long as they don't leave with the Jurchens, they can come back and get the land back. And the first year is completely exempt, and the second and third years are halved! ”

"If we don't leave, we will go to Liaodong, and sooner or later we will all die in the hands of the Jin people."

"Yes, we are going to defect to the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the Ming Emperor treats the people well!"

The officers glared angrily, and even the personal soldiers in Xi Shu gradually left him.

Among all the ethnic groups in the Jin country, the Xi are the most discriminated against and the most suppressed.

Of course, to a certain extent, it belongs to the ridicule of self-inflicted suffering.

Before Emperor Tianzuo died, Song Huizong redeemed Youzhou, and there was a short-lived power vacuum in the Yanshan region.

The leader of the Xi people returned to the rebel Jin to stand on his own, and founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor.

Due to the severe shortage of food, Hui Libao first plundered the territory of the Jin State, and then plundered the Khitan tribe. After being beaten, he came to rob the Han people in the north, and was beaten by Guo Yaoshi's troops.

In this series of operations, the Xi people offended almost all the surrounding forces, and it can be said that they were destroyed by the Jurchen, Khitan, and Han'er.

After the fall of the Xi State, the Xi people rebelled every once in a while because they were suppressed.

The Jurchen aristocracy regarded the Xi people as a big problem, and all of them broke up and relocated.

Take the Xi people here in front of you as an example, including the old and weak women and children, there are only seven or eight hundred people in total. And their villages, sandwiched between Jurchen, Khitan and Han Chinese villages, were only to prevent them from rebelling again.

In the face of the protests of the clansmen, Xi Shuli knew that it was irretrievable.

His parents, eldest son, and second son were all hostages in Liaodong at this time, and now it seems that they have no choice but to ignore their families.

Xi Shuli said to the officers: "You each go back and tell your clansmen that you will flee to Han land in the dark tonight." Do not bring any goods, not even livestock, but if you have horses, you may bring them. I only brought ten and a half days' rations, and came with me after dark. You can't go directly to the south, first go to the northeast until dawn, hide and hide during the day, and then turn south at night to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom. ”

At night, seven or eight hundred Xi people helped the old and the young, quietly passed through a large wheat field in the northeast, and crossed the Liu Li River at dawn and hid into a deserted village.

At the same time, the young and strong people of the clan did not cross the river and continued to travel north, deliberately leaving traces along the way to mislead the pursuers in the direction of searching.

Two days later, in the evening, the young men and women made their way south along the east bank of the Liuli River, and finally succeeded in meeting four days later, relying on the marks left by the women and children along the way.

Then he turned southeast, avoided the forts set up by the Jin State, and came to the Juma River on the border between the two countries.

Seeing that there was a Ming cavalry patrol in the distance on the opposite bank, Xi Shuli personally swam across the horse, and then rode to the Ming cavalry, and shouted at the distance: "Don't shoot arrows, I am the general of the Xi people's army, and I came to the Ming Dynasty with 800 people!" ”

After arriving, the Ming cavalry said expressionlessly: "I didn't see anything." To the east along the Juma River, you can lead to Bazhou. ”

After speaking, the Ming cavalry rode away.

Xi Shu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

The two countries of Ming and Jin have already made peace talks about them, which belong to the rebellion of the Jin State, and it is inconvenient for the Ming Dynasty to openly accept them.

However, Xi Shu can bring people over, and there must be a Ming official in front of him to answer it.

Entering the border of the Ming Dynasty, after a day of resumption, suddenly a ranger blocked the road: "The people of the Ming Dynasty are ahead?" ”

Xi Shuli hurriedly said: "We are all Ming people. ”

The ranger officer said with a smile: "Come and register and settle down, get the Ming household registration, the government will give you rations, and then settle you back to your hometown when the time comes." ”

"Thank you for your help!" Xi Shuli was overjoyed.

In the wilderness a few miles ahead, a "homeless" gathering point has been opened, and many shacks have been erected.

The people of the Xi nationality took the family as a unit and lined up to register and make a register.

Xi Shuli took his wife, three sons and young daughter, and lined up at the front of the line.

I only heard the clerk ask, "What is the name of the head of the household?" ”

"Xi Shuli," Xi Shuli said, "Xi people's Xi, I don't know how to write it in Shu." ”

The official reminded: "You can change your surname, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you are allowed to change your national surname to Zhu." You can also change other surnames, here is "Hundred Family Names", you can choose one by yourself. ”

There was some resistance in Xi Shu: "Do you have to change your surname?" ”

The official said, "You can also leave it alone." ”

This answer surprised Xi Shuli, and instead said: "Then I will change my surname to Daming." ”

The officer asked, "Do you want to change your name?" ”

Xi Shuli said: "Please ask the nobles to help change a Chinese name, and you must be effective in the meaning of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty." ”

The official thought for a while and said, "Then your name is Zhu Quanzhong." ”

"Thank you for your name!"

Xi Shu only brought seven or eight hundred people over, he knew that it was difficult to protect the Xi people, and he also knew that the reputation of the Xi people was very bad. Now that he has changed his Han name, he will simply integrate into the Han nationality in the future.

Not only did he change his name and surname, but he also asked the officials to help his wife and children change their names.

After the clerk registered their whole family, he glanced at the clansmen behind him: "Han'er is going to move north in large numbers, and most of them are young and strong men. There are many women in your clan, but they are willing to intermarry with Han'er? If you wish, the court has other preferential treatment. The family of the married woman is free of taxes for three years! You can tell the people about this news, and you don't have to make a decision now. ”

"Yes."

Xi Shuli...... No, of course Zhu Quanzhong is willing.

His ethnic power is weak, and if he can marry many Han children, he will not be afraid of being bullied by Ming officials in the future.

These seven or eight hundred Xi people came to register one after another, and all of them were willing to change their surnames to Han.

Most of them don't have surnames. Even if there is, it is a family name or a tribe as a surname, and now there is no psychological burden to change the Han surname.

After the registration was completed, Zhu Quanzhong led his clansmen into the resettlement site.

A middle-aged man rode over and laughed: "Xi Shuli, it's really you, it looks like it from a distance." ”

Zhu Quanzhong exclaimed: "Xiao Luohan, why did you come to Ming?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "My name is not Xiao Luohan, I will be called Zhu Dingzhong in the future." ”

"My name is Zhu Quanzhong."

"Hahaha......"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and they both felt that their life experiences were particularly wonderful.

Zhu Quanzhong asked, "How many clansmen have you brought here?" ”

Zhu Dingzhong said: "More than a thousand." ”

"More than a thousand can go? Didn't the Jin soldiers come to catch up? Zhu Quanzhong was surprised.

Zhu Dingzhong said: "I chased it, but I didn't chase us." After you lead people to escape, there are Jurchen soldiers to chase after you. Li Su fled with Han'er again, and the Jurchen soldiers and Bohai soldiers went to chase them. I took the opportunity to defeat the remaining Bohai soldiers, and fled south with the whole clan, but I arrived before you detoured. ”

Zhu Quanzhong said: "We Xi people have the lowest status, and any ethnic group can come to bully. You Khitans, how can you come to Daming? ”

Zhu Dingzhong sneered: "The Khitan people are much better than the Xi people in the Jin Kingdom?" I can barely live without migrating, I just moved here for three years, and now I'm going to move to Liaodong again. Even if they can survive after the migration, the Ming army will definitely kill them in the future, how can the Jin soldiers win the battle? Last year, I was going to lead the department to pitch Ming! ”

Two days later, hundreds of people came, but this time it was the Han'er from the North, who came from Yongqing County.

The migration plan of the Jin State was completely chaotic, and many of the people of all ethnic groups on the border between the two countries were directly led south by the chief.

Wanyan Xiyin could only suppress it by force, but once the troops were dispatched to pursue and the army left, other tribes defected. Taking care of one thing and losing the other, he pressed the gourd to float the scoop, and he couldn't prevent the defection.

The more this was the case, the less prestige the Jin court had, and the more people of all ethnic groups defected.

Wanyan Xiyin was finally broken and sent someone to the Ming side to negotiate, asking the Ming border general to repatriate those defectors from the Jin State.

The border general said that he could not call the shots, and asked the envoy of the Jin State to find the political envoy.

The political envoy directly pretended to be stupid, saying that he did not know that this had happened. At the same time, he also told the envoy of the Jin State that he would seriously restrain the civil and military officials, resolutely not do anything to lure the people of neighboring countries, and would send people to the border to seriously and carefully investigate.

In desperation, Wanyan Xiyin could only send him to Tokyo.

Prince Zhu has always kept his promise and will definitely not do anything that violates the contract, of course, he will also send a figure to investigate carefully.
