Chapter 64: Sending troops to Goryeo
The new book "The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World" needs support, clicks, recommendations, and collections...... Tomorrow will start to block the push, and add more ......
In the original time and space, many Han people were captured by the Jin soldiers as slaves, locked with iron cables, tattooed with the word "official" on their ears, and sold at a marked price, and Yanshan Mansion and other places even set up special markets for buying and selling slaves.
The Jin court also often rewarded the Jurchen nobles with hundreds or thousands of slaves.
Due to the large number of slaves and the proportion of slaves among the members of society, when the Jin State conducted a household registration check, it was stipulated that "the number of land, cattle and slaves must be inspected", and slaves and maids, like land and cattle tools, became an important item in the property registration of each household.
The Jurchen slave owners of the Jin Kingdom treated slaves and maids on an equal footing with gold, silver, sheep, and horses, and used them as bets during the game. After the death of the Jurchen nobles, there was also the cruel and bad habit of "burning the slaves and maids who were favored" for burial.
The Jin army had a large number of slaves, and when there was a shortage of military rations, slaves and maids were actually killed and fed like mules and horses, which was really inhumane.
Due to the invasion and destruction of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, it is difficult to fully calculate the severity of the regression of the productive forces in North China at that time.
More than 30 years after the Jin army destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the total number of households in the vast area under the jurisdiction of the Jin State, including all of present-day North China and Northeast China and most of the Northwest north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, was only more than 3 million (see Wang Yumin, "Analysis of the Household Registration Problem in the Jin Dynasty", in Studies in Chinese History, No. 4, 1990).
However, before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the population of Hebei Road alone north of the Yellow River exceeded 10 million! The total population of the Song Dynasty has exceeded 100 million, and the population of the Southern Song Dynasty was more than 80 million at its peak!
Since the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom entered the Central Plains, they have been ravaged and plundered by the barbaric and brutal Jurchen soldiers. The vast areas of northern China are in ruins, the economy is in regression, people's livelihoods are in decline, and there is a scene of depression everywhere.
Even after another few decades, it has not been able to return to the level before the invasion of the Jin army. At that time, in the area occupied by the Jin army, "the east reached Yi and Mi." It is bounded by Cao, Pu, Yan and Yun in the west, Chen, Cai, Ru and Ying in the south, and Heshuo in the north. all were victimized by it" ("Records of the Years Since the Establishment of Yan", vol. 4).
"Shandong, Jingxi and other roads, Jing Zhen thousands of miles, bucket rice to tens of thousands, and unavailable; thieves, officers and soldiers, and even residents. They eat each other, the price of human flesh. Inferior to dogs and pigs, the fat ones are no more than fifty thousand, and the whole body is violently thought to be wax" (in the volume of "Chicken Ribs").
Some later historical inventors often always say that Yue Fei's Northern Expedition and the Huanglong Mansion were absolutely impossible to succeed. After a large number of plains after Kaifeng, the army of the Yue family army could not resist the iron cavalry of the Jurchens no matter what......
But these goods still thought that the Jurchens at this time were still the Jurchens of the founding era. It can be said that in just one or two decades, the Jurchens have fallen into the same category as the Eight Banners of the braids of later generations.
It's just the pigtail dynasty Huairou Han people. After the Eight Banners could not fight in the Kang Mazi era, there were still green battalion soldiers to support it. And the green battalion soldiers are the Han army.
"Jin History" records: "Zong Han died. Zongpan, Zongjun, tart lazy Zhan drowning wealth, everyone has the heart of self-determination, Zonggan is independent, can not be like anything, there is no Zongbi, and the country of Jin is also said to be ruined. β
It can be said that as soon as Yan Zonghan died, there was only one Zongbi left to support the situation in the Jin Kingdom, that is, Jin Wushu. It's a pity that the Golden Vulture is not a good bird, not only defeated by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others one after another, but also killed the Vulture Chamber, and there are thousands of people in the chain. After killing Yan Xiyin again, hundreds of people sat in a row.
The ministers and generals of the Jin State fought against each other for power and profit, and factional disputes broke out frequently, and they constantly killed each other. Following the successive killings of the dignitaries of the Jin State clan such as Puluhu (Zong Pan), Luguan (Zong Jun), Tart Lazy, Falcon Lazy, and Wumu, the left prime minister Xi Yin and the right prime minister Xiao Qing were also killed one after another.
Originally, when the Jurchens destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty of the Liao Kingdom, the fierce generals were like clouds, and the famous generals under the handsome Wanyan Zonghan (sticky Han), Wanyan Zongwang (ζ‘η«δΈ) and other famous generals gathered, like Wanyan Huonu, Bali Su, Yin Keshu, Yan Mu, Lou Room, Tart Lazy, etc., among them, Wanyan Huonu had defeated and beheaded the famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, and defeated Yao Gu at the speed of Ba Li, and Yan Mu, Lou Room, etc., had captured Shaanxi, all of them were able to fight well, and they were all Jurchen generals.
But when it came time for Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, the commander of the Jin State, Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu), made Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, Xu Wenzhi and others become the generals of the branch.
It must be known that Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou were originally military bandits and bandits of the Song Dynasty, who burned, killed, robbed, plundered the people, and raped women everywhere in the troubled times, but they were defeated by the Song army from all walks of life, so they had to take refuge in the puppet Qi and the Jin State, and became the traitors and lackeys of the Jin people's southern invasion.
But up to now, it is really surprising that the dignified Dajin Kingdom, which has always relied on the Jurchen Wanyan clan to lead troops to fight, actually uses these traitors with poor combat effectiveness as treasures and makes them become branch generals!
Obviously, the Jin State at that time was not only old and weak, but also lacked good generals.
At home, the Jurchen aristocracy plundered the fields of the Han Chinese on a large scale, expropriating and extorting them, bankrupting many peasants in the north.
And the Jurchen court simply put up usury, "returning to easy loans, all over the road".
The government of the country of Jin decreed that anyone who owes public or private debts and is unable to repay them shall be compensated by himself, his wife and children.
Whoever hides the fugitive's house is put to death by the head of the family, and the property is divided equally between the government and the informant, half of the population is to be the official slave and half to the informant's personal slave, and even the neighbors of the violator are required to pay a "reward" of 300 yuan.
As long as this new policy of the Jin government was implemented, the Jurchen nobles would receive thousands of debt slaves. As a result, all the people who did not want to be slaves rebelled, or fled to other lands, or killed their creditors, and "gathered in the valley."
Under this perverse behavior, it can be said that the northern ethnic groups of the Jin State at that time, with the Han nationality as the main body, resisted strongly. At that time, the class contradictions and national contradictions in the country were very acute.
Otherwise, there would be no record in the history books of the Southern Song Dynasty, and a few decades later, a large number of peasant rebels of the Jin State ran to the Southern Song Dynasty.
For example, the most famous Xin Qiji, was originally born in the occupied area of the Jin State.
It can be said that the Jurchens, who had only been established for one or two decades at that time, had already rebelled against their relatives and were at the end of their rope. Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was originally likely to succeed and smash Huanglong!
Some philistines, or rather reasonable parties, can always judge the situation only by common sense. But he didn't understand that the people who really created history could do more than what he thought was exaggerated!
Just like the story of a certain librarian, if you read it in a book, you will be scolded half to death by the reasonable party, thinking that it is impossible!
This is the so-called sitting in the well and watching the sky, and it is the so-called summer insects that cannot be said to be ice.
As long as you look at these records, you can know how many good things these Jurchens did in the original time and space.
None of this has happened yet, though. But Master Wen was never a saint, he was a saint Confucius, and he also said that he complained with grievances and reported directly with straightforwardness!
Wenda Heavenly Master couldn't take revenge on the original Jurchens, so he had to take the Jurchens in this time and space. The large-scale massacre of the Jurchens was not needed, and it was too wasteful.
But none of the leaders of this kind of Jurchens can be let go! Anyway, Zhao Ji has seen history and hates these guys to the core, so let Zhao Ji deal with them!
Whether it's scraped alive or the car cracked and cut off, it's more or less a bad breath for yourself!
Master Wen called Yue Peng over and said with a smile: "Master was originally going to hand over these Jurchens to you to deal with, so as to achieve your immortal achievements. I just didn't expect these Jurchens to surrender so quickly without fighting!"
Yue Pengju was just when his blood and qi were just at this time, and after listening to the words of Wen Da Heavenly Master, his face suddenly turned red. said: "Master is joking, I'm just a young general!"
Wen Fei Ha Lu Ha smiled: "But in my opinion, although there are many good generals under me, none of them can compare to you, how can you lead a large army to defeat Goryeo for me!"
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and in the face of the sudden qualifications of commanding an army all the way, Yue Pengju was suddenly dumbfounded. Excited and a little uneasy.
Wen Fei said with a smile: "Originally, I sent Song Jiang all the way to take Goryeo for me, but although the ghost place of Goryeo is small and poor, the terrain is mountainous and quite dangerous. You go with 5,000 men and help him take Goryeo for me. β
Yue Pengju listened, it turned out that he was not the real commander of the first army, and he was faintly disappointed in his heart, but he also calmed down. Immediately apologize for the military salute: "The last general listens to the order!"
Wen Fei smiled: "Go ahead, just take Goryeo for me, there is a fertile land in Liaodong and Liaoxi, but no one dares to threaten it anymore!"
His gaze was cast into the distance, as if he had seen through the Nine Shadows Earth.
Even though the war in the human world has come to an end, under the Nine Shadows, the war is already in full swing.
At the same time that Yelu Yanxi presented Zhao Ji with the jade seal of the heirloom country, the resistance of the city gods and yin divisions in various parts of the Liao Kingdom stopped one after another. The dragon qi of the Great Song Dynasty continued to spread over, covering everything.
Whether it is the war spirit that raised from the land of Youyan, or the army that was killed under the command of the Ghost Emperor Dazun, the combined army has already surrounded the spirit realm of the Jurchens.
The founding time of the Jurchens is broken, and the foundation is still shallow. In the end, he didn't complete that gorgeous leap, and the fish jumped over the dragon gate and turned into a dragon.
The so-called turning the family into a country does not change his surname. From the snake to the dragon, do not change its pattern. After all, the Jurchens did not pass this level, and they did not get the help of the luck that swept the world, and even this spiritual realm never turned into the kingdom of Yinsi.
At this moment, facing the siege of this countless army, it is like a boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time. (To be continued......)
