Xue Bingchang mentioned the Jin State, everyone was in a daze, the imperial court wanted to partner with the Jin State to fight the Liao State, more or less people knew about it, although it was not comprehensive, but the matter was also known, of course, the most comprehensive information had to come out of Xue Bingchang's mouth. His ability to gather and grasp information seems to be in the collection and mastery of information.

Xue Bingchang told everyone that in fact, all the reasons came from a Liao man named Ma Zhi in the north, this person was originally a person from Yandi, Yandi Youzhou, which was the lost land of the sixteen states of Youyun, this person was the Guanglu doctor of Yanjing of Liao, this person took advantage of the Liao Emperor's birthday, and the Great Song Dynasty Zhu Shou made Tong Guan envoy, secretly Jin to see Tong Guan, during the meeting, Ma Zhi proposed a secret plan to Tong Guan to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

He told Tong Guan: "In the northeastern border of the Liao Empire, there is a Jurchen tribe, brave and good at war, its leader Wanyan Aguta established the Jin State, they hate the tyranny of the Liao Empire, there is a possibility of rebellion at any time, once the rebellion, the Liao government has no power to control. If we send people to set out from Denglai on the Shandong Peninsula and conclude a military alliance with the Jurchens from the sea route, we will attack from the east and west, and the sixteen states of Yanyun will be within reach. ”

This plan was very practical, and Tong Guan was so excited that he secretly brought Ma Zhi back, changed his name to Li Liangsi, and introduced him to Emperor Huizong. After talking to him, the emperor took his advice. So I immediately started to implement it. In the name of purchasing horses, envoys (including Ma Zhi) were successively dispatched from Denglai on the Shandong Peninsula to the Jurchen tribe.

This matter has been carried out several times, the conditions proposed by the Jin State are higher, and the two sides have not yet negotiated, Ma Zhi has been frequently appointed as a special envoy recently, and will soon be sent to the Jin State.

During the banquet, a fellow of the purchasing agency asked: "Mr. Xue, is this Ma Zhi the heir of Zhao Liang who was given the surname by the Holy Lord not long ago?" ”

Xue Bingchang nodded and said, "It's this person!" ”

During the banquet, another big shopkeeper of the silk village in the capital, who has been doing business with Richanglong for many years, and the old man with white hair, thought about Liu Zhengfu and said: "Lord Liu, what is the origin of the Dajin of the Great Liao Kingdom?" Why do you regard Liao as a mortal enemy? ”

Liu Zhengfu helped his beard and said: "This old man really knows some details."

The old man said, "Just ask the adults to tell us about it, the villains don't know very well."

Liu Zhengfu said: "Have you ever heard of Haidongzhu? ”

Everyone shook their heads, Liu Zhengfu said: "Maybe the thing is on this Haidong pearl, this Haidong pearl is a kind of precious pearl produced in the sea of the northern lake, this pearl is as big as a marble, the color is bright, it is very popular, the princes and nobles like to embellish it on the brim of the hat, but this pearl is not easy to obtain." According to the records written by predecessors: Beizhu, as big as a marble, is all out of the Liaodong Sea. Every year in August, when the moon is like day, it will be ripe, and the pearl mussels will be taken in October. At this time, it was already cold in the north, and the ice in the river was thick, and the ice was chiseled to catch it, and people were sick. "There is a kind of bird (swan) that eats mussels, and if you can catch a mussel-eating swan, you can get pearls, because the pearls in the mussels hide their mouths. But why with the swan? There is another kind of falcon in the north, which is called "Junyu", and the people of the northland are called "Haidongqing", which can catch swans. ”

The Beidi people mentioned by Liu Zhengfu are the Jurchen people, the main famous ethnic group in the Jin Kingdom, and the Jurchen people are an ancient people living in the Baishan and Heishui areas in the northeast of China, and have a relationship with Sushen, Beji, and Yao. The black water deer is one of the main sources of the Jurchen people.

Among them, those who are close to Liao are from Khitan and are "mature women"; Those who are far away from the Liao State and maintain the traditional production and lifestyle of their own nationality and are not from the Khitan are "born Jurchen". The Shengnuzhen live in the Changbai Mountain of the Tongjiang River (Heilongjiang), between the so-called "White Mountain and Black Water", and the Shengnuzhen mostly live in the valley and are engaged in farming, fishing and hunting.

Both mature Jurchen and Shengjurchen were subordinate tribes of Liao, and the Liao rulers had always adopted a policy of discrimination and oppression against the Jurchens, especially during the time of Emperor Tianzuo, the last emperor of Liao. In order to obtain "Haidongqing", he had to send more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to the Five Kingdoms Department to arrest the Haidongqing every year, and the Jurchens were overwhelmed by the suffering. At the same time, Emperor Tianzuo often sent some envoys with silver medals, the so-called "silver angels", to extort money from all over the Jurchen. Everywhere he went, he not only plundered property, but also forced Jurchen women to stay with them, and even noble women were not spared.

The leader of the Jurchens: After Yan Aguta, he saw that the Jurchen tribes were very bitter about the Liao State, so he decided to raise troops to resist.

Under the circumstance that the Jurchens took refuge in him, Aguta gathered more than 2,500 people in the fourth year of Tianqing of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao (1114) to swear on the bank of Laishui. He then launched an attack on Liao and conquered Ningjiang Prefecture (Fuyu, Jilin). This battle strengthened the Jurchens' confidence in victory, so the establishment of political power was also on the agenda, and they unanimously supported Wanyan Aguta as their leader. "This great achievement has been built, if you don't have the title, you can't tie the heart of the world."

On the New Year's Day of the fifth year of Liao Tianqing (1115), Aguta officially ascended to the foundation of the country, and the country name was Dajin. Jianyuan received the country (Liao is iron, Jin takes the meaning of iron), Aguda became the first emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and the temple name is Taizu.

After the founding of the Jurchen state, there was a situation in which the Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia regimes were fighting for land. The Jin State, led by Wanyan Aguta, first launched a full-scale attack on Liao. Wanyan Agu took the lead and moved forward desperately, which stimulated the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and although the soldiers were few and far between, they still defeated the Liao army.

When Liu Zhengfu was telling this allusion, everyone listened attentively, even for a person like Xiao Ming who knew the development of history, because he didn't know that the original Jin State made the Liao State, it turned out to be because of a bird, that is, what was called "Hai Dongqing", I think it was a falcon.

Speaking of this, Liu Zhengfu shook his head, as if he needed to comment: "In fact, the Jin State needs to find an excuse to raise troops, Beizhu, who knows whether the swan is true or false, but this "Haidongqing" is indispensable for the Liao people, the princes and nobles of the Great Liao and the ordinary people have the customs of spring and autumn, and the Khitan nation is a nation of fishing and hunting, and the ability of riding and archery is naturally related to this, and "Haidongqing" is a falcon that they must hunt, but I think this is not a reason."

Su Cai'er asked, "Uncle Liu, what is the reason for that?" ”

Liu Zhengfu said: "Emperor Liao's rampant conquest is the root cause!" ”

He continued: "The old man also learned from reading the biographies of his predecessors that there is a Murowei tribe affiliated to Da Liao, which produces beautiful women, and the Liao Emperor likes to accept him as a concubine, and the ministers, generals and princes under him are all proud of marrying the Murowei women, so that they have killed countless people of the Murowei tribe and forced the entire tribe to move thousands of miles north! ”

Liu Zhengfu looked very excited and looked a little angry, but in the end he sighed and drank a glass of stuffy wine.

Xiao Ming said: "Emperor Liao is so perverse, no one in the country will object?" ”

Liu Zhengfu said: "The Liao country is strong, and the same is true for my Great Song Dynasty, and the court regards me as a Song pig!" Even since the covenant, the Liao soldiers often go south to fight the grass valley, and the princes and ministers have been pampered for many years, and they are used to being high, which one thinks about others? ”

"However," he continued, "Emperor Tianzuo's concubine Xiao Sese was still virtuous, and she once wrote a satirical exhortation, persuading Emperor Tianzuo to refresh his politics, trust his loyal ministers, block the path of treachery, and plan for the revival of the country. However, Xiao Sese's kind advice caused Emperor Tianzuo's dissatisfaction. So much so that the unjust cases in Daliao have reappeared, and now there is the case of King Jin."

It turned out that the Tianzuo Emperor had six sons, and the King of Jin, born to his Chinese concubine, was smart and sensible, strong in martial arts, very generous to people, and very capable, and stood out among the princes, and the government and the public had high hopes for him. Some courtiers even hoped that he would succeed him in the future in order to revive the Khitan Empire. However, Xiao Fengxian, the king of Lanling, who was deeply favored by Emperor Tianzuo, had great hopes for his sister, King Qin, the son of Emperor Tianzuo's concubine.

Xiao Fengxian knew in his heart that as long as Ao Lu was there, there was almost no possibility for his nephew King Qin to become the crown prince. For this reason, the treacherous and cunning Xiao Fengxian took Xiao Sese's brother-in-law Yelu Tart Geri and brother-in-law Yelu Yu to see the knife. Now the whole country is embroiled in the battle for succession.

Xiao Ming asked puzzledly: "Mr. Xue, why did you just say that I want to sell Liao with 200,000 miscellaneous silks in Richanglong, but I need Lord Liu's help?" ”

Xue Bingchang said: "This needs to start with the war between Liaojin and Jin."

In the third year of Tianqing (1113), the leader of the Jurchen tribal alliance, Wu Yashu, died, and Wanyan Agu became the new leader of the Jurchen Ministry, preparing to resist Liao and raise troops. Emperor Tianzuo, who was hunting in the autumn of Gyeongju, did not care about side affairs, and only sent Haizhou Assassin Shi Gao Xianshou to the aid of the Bohai Navy.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Liao garrison, Aguta swore to encourage the people and marched to Ningjiang Prefecture, defeated the Bohai Navy, and captured Ningjiang Prefecture in one fell swoop. Knowing that Ningjiang Prefecture was lost, Emperor Tianzuo gathered his ministers in panic to discuss countermeasures, and the result of the discussion was: send part of the army to suppress it. In October of this year, the Liao State, with Xiao Sixian as the capital, led an army of 100,000 to meet the enemy, in a vain attempt to annihilate the Jurchen tribe in one fell swoop.

After hearing the news, Ah Gu took the initiative to attack and rushed to the Yazi River, where the Liao army was about to settle the army, and met the enemy at the river. It was November, the weather was cold, the wind was strong, and Aguta saw that the Liao army had not yet formed a formation, so he took advantage of the wind to launch an attack from Sanban. The Liao army was in chaos and collapsed without a fight. Ah Gu plundered countless carriages and horses, and won a complete victory in the Battle of Chuhedian. So far, the Jurchen army has grown from the initial 2,500 to more than 10,000, and the morale is high and the military prestige is greatly boosted.

In the first month of 1115, Aguda founded the country and called the emperor, the country name was "Dajin", changed the yuan to "collect the country", and set the capital to go to Beijing.

After the battles of Ningjiang Prefecture and Chuhedian, the Liao army was repeatedly defeated, and the dismal results made the ancient city of Dalu and Huanglongfu, the eastern important towns of the Liao State, lose one after another. In the case that the inducement of Agu and the dispatch of envoys to negotiate peace failed to achieve their goals, the frightened and angry Emperor Tianzuo led an army of 700,000 to march in person.

Aguda ordered his soldiers to build a camp and dig a trench to prepare for resistance. At this time, there was a civil strife in the Khitan, and Yelu Zhangnu rebelled in the country and supported Yelu Chun as the emperor. Emperor Tianzuo, who was on fire in the backyard, had no intention of fighting again and ordered the withdrawal of troops. At that time, Aguta had only 20,000 soldiers, but "the Jurchens were less than 10,000, and they were invincible", so Aguda decided to take the opportunity to pursue. The Jurchen warriors who were in their prime, with one as a hundred, actually killed the Liao army all over the field, and hundreds of thousands of Liao troops collapsed at once. Emperor Tianzuo lost many years of hunting and training to have a good riding skill, and fled five hundred miles day and night to save his life.

In this battle, the Liao State lost 200,000 troops, Xiao Si died first, Emperor Tianzuo was shocked and angry, and vowed to destroy the Jurchens, sent 500,000 Han troops in Liaodi, and 150,000 forbidden troops in the Northern Courtyard, and attacked the Jurchens again.

Xue Bingchang said: "The quilt of hundreds of thousands of troops is actually a big business, and I claim in the eyes of the Liao State that the Liao State is currently lacking in the quilt and armor. The general of the army, Yelu Yujian, is the king of the North Courtyard, this time the grandson of Xiao Da Buye sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to urging the annual tribute, the biggest mission is actually to get a large number of cloth from the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Xue Bingchang bowed his hand to Liu Zhengfu and said: "The court wants to join forces to fight against Liao, but Lord Liu thinks that he wants to paralyze the Liao State, in addition to the annual tribute, it is also a means to provide cloth to the Liao State at a good price, right?" ”

Liu Zhengfu lowered his head and thought, nodded and smiled after half a ring: "The northern barbarians, cannibalism, in fact, it is a good thing to have a big Song with me, hehe, although Mr. Xue is a businessman, he also has some brains"

Xue Bingchang said: "Don't dare, don't dare, just follow the trend"

Xiao Ming seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked Xue Bingchang: "Mr. Xue's strength in the Liao State must be not small, I don't know if you can know the Liao State tribute envoy who came this time?" ”

Xue Bingchang said: "It's not a secret, I haven't been in contact with it yet, but with my means, it's not difficult to befriend him."

Xiao Ming suddenly smiled and said to Xue Bingchang: "Then I congratulate you on your good news!" ”

Xue Bingchang smiled silently.

Everyone toasted each other, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet......

After the dismissal, everyone said goodbye, Xiao Ming took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, suddenly grabbed Xue Bingchang, and laughed in a low voice: "Tomorrow, the little brother will be waiting for the brother in the inn."

Xue Bingchang was stunned, but then remained silent and looked at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming said: "Where do I live, I must know if I want to come to Brother Tai, as for any good things?" You know...... "Squeeze your eyes and turn away......
