Chapter 439 A Dead Fellow Daoist Never Dies a Poor Daoist (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

The early Jurchens were composed of multiple tribes.

At that time, the Wanyan clan did not have a prominent status.

It wasn't until Wanyan Wugunai became the leader of the tribal alliance that he led the Jurchen tribal alliance to conquer and unite more than a dozen Jurchen tribes and established the Jurchen tribal alliance, and the Wanyan clan began to grow stronger.

After Wanyan Wugunai's death, his son Wanyan Libo succeeded as the leader of the alliance, and together with his younger brother Wanyan Yingge defeated the Heshi Lie tribe, who was in troubled waters, and consolidated the status of the Jurchen tribal alliance.

At this stage, the Jurchen tribal alliance had expanded to thirty tribes, and the class differentiation within it became more and more obvious. The Wanyan clan finally became the largest and most powerful tribe in the Jurchen tribal alliance.

After Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi succeeded to the throne, the Khitan nobles squeezed and blackmailed the tribes of the Jurchen more and more.

It coincided with the peak period of Wanyan's development, and its tribe was full of talents.

Therefore, under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the head of the tribal alliance at that time, the Jurchen tribes marched towards Ningjiang Prefecture, officially launching the first battle against the Liao Dynasty.

At that time, Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchens to sacrifice to heaven and earth, held an oath, and said: "We will do our best together. For those who have made merit, slaves and maidservants can become common people, and common people can become officials. Those who used to have official positions can be promoted according to their merits. Violating the oath will not count as a bad death, and the family members will not be pardoned."

The next day, Wanyan Aguda led [-] Jurchen troops to the Liao border, just in time to meet the Bohai Navy. Wanyan Aguda shot and killed the Liao general Yeluxie Shi. The Liao army was defeated, and seven or eight out of ten died.

In October of the same year, the Jurchen army took advantage of the victory to capture Ningjiangzhou City.

Wanyan Aguda also sent people to recruit the Bohai people of the Tieli tribe and the Liao Jurchens (that is, the mature Jurchens) under the rule of the Liao Dynasty, making the Jurchen army grow to 2 horses.

A few days later, Wanyan Aguda captured a large number of horses and belongings, and led the 2 horses back to the army triumphantly.

Since then, the Jurchen tribal alliance has gradually ruled the neighboring tribes, and captured the vast areas such as Ningjiang Prefecture, Binzhou, and Xianzhou under the rule of the Liao Dynasty.

In the same year, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Cibushi and other Wanyan clan leaders supported Wanyan Aguda Jianguo and proclaimed himself emperor.

On January [-]st of the next year, Wanyan Aguda officially became the emperor, established a slavery country, the country was named Dajin, and the year was accepted.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Jin, the original system of tribal alliance chiefs was abolished, and Wanyan Aguda proclaimed himself emperor and established the rule of imperial power.

Soon after, Wanyan Aguda took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Liao army and attacked Huanglong Mansion.

Wanyan Aguda personally led the troops into the ancient city of Dalu, defeated the Liao army, and came back captive.

Subsequently, the Jin army once again captured Ningjiang Prefecture, Binzhou, Xianzhou and other areas in the Liao Dynasty.

This time, the Jurchens did not withdraw from Ningjiang Prefecture, Binzhou, Xianzhou and other areas, but continued to attack southward, penetrating deep into the hinterland of the Liao Dynasty.

After a series of battles, after the Jurchens paid the price of countless people killed in battle, the Kingdom of Jin gradually occupied a large area of ​​the Liao Dynasty's territory, posing a huge threat to the Liao Dynasty.

After several years of war, before Wanyan Agu was beaten to death, the Kingdom of Jin and the Dagan Dynasty attacked from north to south, and finally wiped out the Liao Dynasty completely, and the Kingdom of Jin became the new overlord in the north.

To make a digression, before that, the Jurchens rebelled against the tyranny of the Liao Kingdom. In order to fight for the independent status of the Jurchens, Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchens to establish their own country, finally killed the enemy, and led their people to rise to become the new overlord of the north. , there is no doubt that Wanyan Aguda is indeed a great hero.

Even against the Zhao and Song dynasties in history, Wanyan Aguda has always been polite and restrained, and has never lost morality.

It is no wonder that Wanyan Aguda has such a high evaluation in history.

To paraphrase a hymn written by Wanyan Aguda:

The early bribery and sustenance signs are old, and the country of sunrise gives birth to saints.

Although Zhou ordered the restoration of the old state, he did not kill righteousness and benevolence.

As soon as Haiqing went to the west of the sea, the monarchs and ministers of the two countries did not notice it.

In the sound of partridges, the king is bound, and the Han people do not lose their lives and enjoy themselves.

A golden Tianlong protrudes from the flat ground, and its face is like a real hero in purple jade.

Huaxing Jianghan and Qiang Rong have praised their merits for a hundred years.

Refer to the Liao and Song Dynasties as the imperial system, with several bachelors in literary talent.

Leilei's high-sounding words speak well, and Zhuo Guan's generation is the same.

The rise of the Jurchens and the establishment of the Kingdom of Jin must not be the result of Wanyan Aguda alone, it was the result of countless sacrifices of countless generations of Jurchens.

It can be said that it is really not easy for the Jurchens to be where they are today.

Han Qixian really regrets the country that the Jurchen took so hard to conquer. He didn't want Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan and his son, and the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin to "sell their father's land". Suggest to Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyanquan and his son that the only possible way out now is to desperately seek peace from the Daqian Dynasty and fight for a piece of fiefdom belonging to the Kingdom of Jin, so that Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyanquan and his son should not bring Jin The royal family and clan of the country fled, because this road would not work at all.

Who would have thought that Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan and his son not only refused Han Qixian's kindness, but also wanted to kill Han Qixian.

This made Han Qixian resentful, but also disappointed with Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan and his son, and even Jin Guo.

Therefore, when Yuwen Huangzhong pulled Han Qi out of Longmei Palace first, Han Qi gritted his teeth and said: "If his father and son, the royal family and clan escape like this, all the clans will fall apart. I'm afraid that even the Jurchens will not follow him. The day his Jurchen leaves the city will be the time for the Kingdom of Jin to perish!"

To Han Qixian's surprise, Yuwen Huangzhong, who had acted like a foolish and loyal domestic slave just now, followed his words and said: "The Lord of Liao owns the land in the west of Liao, and he has the same rights as Song and Xia. The covenant, in the end, it is hard to escape, if the Jinshi leaves here, the fate may not be as good as that of the Liao Lord."

Han Qi was startled for a moment, then looked at Yuwen Huang Zhong with an incredulous expression on his face, and asked puzzledly: "Since the national teacher understands this truth, why don't you join me in persuading your majesty and the grand teacher to stay and negotiate a peace, maybe you can also give me a big gold?" Get a small piece of land?"

"His father, son and clansman planned to abandon the capital and flee for a day or two. It has long been a plan. If I go to persuade him, except you and I will be the souls of his sword, what good will it do?"

After a pause, Yuwen Huang Zhong said leisurely: "Taizu died, Taizong succeeded, and the Jurchen's greed, cunning, and bottomless side gradually emerged. To tell you the truth, Mr. Han, Taizong indulged his stickiness and couldn't get away from it." Expanding to the south, where the Jin people passed by, they burned, killed and looted, the people were in dire straits, the mountains and rivers were broken, and their greed even went so far as to not spare the tombs of the dead, Xiao Ke knew what would happen today."

Han Qixian is so smart. Hearing what Yuwen Huangzhong said, he immediately realized that Yuwen Huangzhong was not really loyal to the Kingdom of Jin. He was a duplicitous villain, or he was a spy of the Daqian Dynasty.

Hurry up and report Yuwen Huangzhong to Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan and his son?

First of all, as far as the current situation is concerned, most of Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan and his son believe Yuwen Huangzhong more than what he said.

Secondly, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyanquan and his son are now running away with all their heart. How can it be possible for him and Yuwenhuang to interrupt this lawsuit that is destined to be unable to figure out who is right in a short time?

Again, Yuwen Huangzhong has been pretending for so many years, and now he suddenly stopped pretending, which means that Yuwen Huangzhong must be all ready to win.

Han Qi thought about it again, and even guessed, what is Yuwen Huangzhong's reliance?

This is nothing difficult to guess, Yuwen Huangzhong's reliance must be military power.

Does Yuwen Huangzhong have military power?

People who don't know the Central Plains committee may be puzzled. Didn't Yuwen Huangzhong just become a stayer in Shangjing and get the military and political power in Shangjing?He hasn't taken office yet, so where does he get the military power?

In fact, Yuwen Huangzhong and Wanyan Zongqiang have long been in charge of the military power in Shangjing.

And because Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyanquan father and son, and the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin have long been preparing to flee the capital collectively if Jin Wushu fails to win the decisive battle, and because the Jurchens are suspicious by nature, they don’t believe in other races at all. At the behest of Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan, his father and son, and the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Zongqiang consciously selected the Jurchen soldiers, gave them higher treatment, and won them over, so that these Jurchen soldiers could protect them in the future Flee from Shangjing.

As for the soldiers of the Golden Army of other races, Wanyan Zongqiang neither cared about them nor was in the mood to win over these guys who were destined to be abandoned or even treated as cannon fodder. Wanyan Zongqiang threw these soldiers of the Golden Army of other races to Yuwen Huang. Central control and appeasement.

Under such circumstances, if Yuwen Huangzhong had two minds, I'm afraid that by this time Yuwen Huangzhong had already grasped a military force sufficient to control Shangjing City.

As soon as Han Qixian thought of this, more than a dozen golden generals came in front of him, and they walked straight to Yuwen Huangzhong.

Seeing this scene, Han Qi closed his eyes first.

Han Qi first knew that Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan and his son, as well as the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin might not be able to leave this time.

If others don't know these dozen or so golden generals, how could Han Qixian not know him?

These dozen or so golden generals are the generals who actually control the Jin army in Shangjing except for the Jurchen soldiers.

The dozen or so members of Jin Jiang came to Yuwen Huangzhong and asked in a hurry: "National Teacher, what do you say, Your Majesty and Grand Master? Are you willing to listen to the National Teacher and lead us to surrender?"

Yuwen Huang Zhong sighed leisurely, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty and the grand master did not listen to the advice of me and Han Xianggong, but insisted on leading the royal family and clan Xixing. This is the imperial edict and tiger talisman of His Majesty appointing Xiaoke to stay in Beijing. "

While saying this, Yuwen Huangzhong showed the imperial decree and tiger talisman given to him by Wan Yanquan to all the golden generals.

At the same time, Yuwen Huang Zhong said with a sad face: "Some soldiers know that your majesty, the grand master, the royal family, and the clan have fled with a city full of gold, silver and jewels. They are afraid that they will wash the city in anger. Save the lives of soldiers and civilians in this city under the army butcher's knife."

When all the gold generals heard this, they bowed down one after another, knelt down to save Yuwen Huangzhong, and must save the lives of all the soldiers and civilians in Shangjing.

"Now Your Majesty and Grand Master only care about the lives of the Jurchen nobles, and completely disregard the lives of the soldiers and civilians under our rule. If the National Master does not mediate for us, will we have a chance of survival?"

"I hope the national teacher is compassionate and compassionate. Don't say such despondent words. The national teacher is as immortal as a god, and there will be a way to save our lives."

"The national teacher promised to advance and retreat with us before, but he dare not break his promise."

"..."

Yuwen Huangzhong clasped his hands and said: "Don't worry, everyone, Yuwen Huangzhong will do what he says, and he will live and die with the soldiers and people in the city."

Hearing Yuwen Huangzhong's promise, all the gold generals were overjoyed.

However, Yuwen Huangzhong was still frowning.

Seeing this, there is no need for Yuwen Huangzhong to say, all the gold generals also know that what Yuwen Huangzhong is worried about is that if the royal family and clan of the Jin Kingdom that Daqian Emperor Li Cun must want escape like this, and take the Jin Kingdom away The large amount of gold, silver and jewels plundered from Liao and Goryeo would definitely be furious and the dry army would wash the city.

At this time, a general named Gao Hailong from the Bohai tribe said loudly: "Since the Jurchens don't care about the life and death of our neighbors, why should we care about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and capture them all and dedicate them to Daqian? We may be able to get promoted and get rich, get rewards, and be blessed by misfortune."

Someone started this, and someone immediately echoed: "A true Jurchen is less than ten thousand, and ten thousand is invincible. We are several times stronger than the Jurchen army. If we work together, we will be able to cut off the Jurchen army. And the Jurchen nobles still don't obediently submit?"

Immediately afterwards, someone said: "As long as we plan carefully and seize the four gates of the imperial city, none of the Jurchens will be able to escape."

The more the gold generals talked, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the more rebellious they became, and the last plan of a dead fellow Taoist to live in poverty was logically born.

in fact--

It's no wonder that these golden generals are rebellious, it is really Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan's father and son, and the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin who first planned to abandon the soldiers and civilians in Shangjing City, and let the soldiers and civilians in Shangjing City be cannon fodder for them first.

Whoever it is, will definitely turn against Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan and his son, as well as the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin.

Furthermore, it has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the Kingdom of Jin, and during the past 20 years, the Kingdom of Jin has been fighting against the outside world. The soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Jin have not enjoyed any benefits from the Kingdom of Jin, so how can they have any sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Jin? ?And those who miss the stable life in the Liao Dynasty even hate the Jurchen who made them so unstable and always lived a life of wandering.

In addition, the Kingdom of Jin was defeated by the Dagan Dynasty. Even blind people, let alone those with discerning eyes, can see now that the Kingdom of Jin is about to perish, and the Northeast will soon be the territory under the rule of the Dagan Dynasty.

In this case, it is quite normal for someone to guide it, and an internal change breaks out.

Soon, Gao Hailong and the others exchanged winks, and then knelt down to Yuwen Huangzhong together. Gao Hailong said bluntly: "I beg the national teacher to lead us to capture the gold master and the Jurchen nobles alive and present them to the army. Save the lives of soldiers and civilians throughout the city."

Seeing this, Han Qi on the side knew that the lives of everyone in the capital, including Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan, his father and son, and the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin, were all under Yuwen Huangzhong's control.

At this time, Yuwen Huangzhong showed a look of embarrassment, and then he helped a group of golden generals up and said: "Everyone get up first and then talk, I will wait for a long-term discussion."

Who would have thought that Yuwen Huangzhong would not be able to help anyone, and everyone seemed to be determined. As long as Yuwen Huangzhong refused to lead them to capture Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Quan and his father and son, and the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin, they would grow up. I can't afford to kneel.

Gao Hailong even said bluntly: "I know that your majesty and the grand master have the grace to know and encounter the national teacher. However, the Han people have a saying that the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital today. Isn’t the lives of soldiers and civilians more valuable than the lives of tens of thousands of Jurchens?”

This is certainly a paradox.

First, it is immoral to kill a minority for the benefit of the majority.

Secondly, this is the Kingdom of Jin. The Jurchens who established the Kingdom of Jin were originally nobler than people of other races. Gao Hailong's words were completely rebellious.

But at this time, in the eyes of these non-Jurchens, in the current situation, this is what should be done.

But if Yuwen Huangzhong didn't agree with them, they wouldn't get up.

There is no way, Yuwen Huangzhong can only "reluctantly" agree, and then let these gold generals go to form their own armies and obey his orders.

When all the gold generals went down to prepare to start an incident, Yuwen Huang Zhong looked back at Han Qixian, and said straight to the point: "Mr. I guarantee my life, if Mr. Han helps you with all your strength, I will definitely not treat Mr. Han badly, and if Mr. Han refuses to help, Huang Zhong will send someone to send Mr. Han's family out of the city. field……"
