0148 Naiman Chaos
The Jurchens were another powerful ethnic minority. In the era when the Liao, Song, Xia and Jin clans were in a coexistence, the Jurchens launched a fierce attack on the Liao Kingdom since the establishment of the Jin Kingdom in 1115. In just a short ten years, they defeated the Khitans and became a powerful force on the northern grasslands. Their strength can be seen.
Thirty thousand Iron Cavalry of Jurchens roared over, and the armor on their chests shone under the sun, shining and making people unable to open their eyes. After a long journey, the 30,000 golden soldiers paused and lined up in a row. A solid wall of humans appeared on the huge grassland in an instant.
Among the Jin soldiers, a general rode out his horse. He wore an upside-down sheep-horn-shaped helmet, a chain armor, and a scimitar on his waist. He stared at Xia Bolong and the army of the Dragon Empire, and shouted loudly: "I'm Wanyan Zongwang of the Great Jin Kingdom, how dare you ask where the army opposite is?"
When Wanyan Zongwang said Khitan words, he saw that the army opposite was neatly decorated and had strange equipment, not like the Khitans in the Liao Kingdom, but in order to prevent it, he deliberately used Khitans to ask them.
Yelu Dashi knew that Xia Bolong did not understand Khitan's words, so he immediately translated Wanyan Zongwang's words.
"Wanyan Zongwang, whose Jurchen name is Olubu, is also called Olibu. He is the second son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda. Zongwang often follows Aguda to fight, often on the left and right, and has made many achievements. The Song people called him the "Second Prince" and was a figure in the Jin army's military spirit before Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu). Wanyan Zongwang attacked Liao once, attacked Song twice, captured Song Huizong and Song Qinzong two emperors, with great military achievements and great reputation." Xia Bolong slowly recalled in his mind, "Will he actually meet him here? It's so unlucky!"
Turning his face, Xia Bolong said to Yelu Dashi: "Tell them that we are the army of the Dragon Empire. Now that we have conquered Mongolia and are preparing to return home in triumph. We have never had any contact with Jin Kingdom and are inconvenient to fight. Let him stay away from the Mongolian troops and ask him to respect himself!"
Yelu Dashi immediately rushed to the Jin people opposite and shouted: "This is the army of the Dragon Empire. Your Majesty has just completed the expedition of various Mongolian divisions, causing all divisions to surrender. Now the territory of various Mongolian divisions has been incorporated into the Dragon Empire. Test the text watermark 7. Even if General Wanyan intends to come to take the Mongolian divisions, it is too late. Our Dragon Empire has nothing to do with the Mongolian divisions, so he doesn't want to fight for the troops here. Please ask General Wanyan not to be reckless!"
Yelu Dashi's heart was like a mirror. Wanyan Zongwang was a famous general of the Jin Kingdom. At this time, he suddenly appeared here with 30,000 Jin Kingdom cavalry. This means that the troops of his previous emperor Yelu Yanxi (Emperor Liao Tianzuo) had been eliminated. Even if he fled far away, it would be impossible. Although he was very sad in his heart, he was more rational than reckless, suppressing the grief and anger in his heart and shouting those words to Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zongwang rode majestic on the horse with a cold face and a cold expression. Yin Ao's eyes swept quickly across the Dragon Emperor's team, and finally stopped at Yelu Dashi. He saw Yelu Dashi in the army, wearing a red military uniform, standing side by side with a man with a golden helmet and armor, and then looked at the man with a golden armor.
After a long time, Wanyan Zongwang didn't say anything, but just watched silently. Test the text watermark 3.
"People like Yelu Dashi are willing to surrender to the Dragon Empire. What is the origin of this Dragon Empire? Seeing that they were very strict in the march and formation, although they only had more than 10,000 cavalry, they conquered the Mongolian tribes. As I know, I still know how strong the Mongolian tribes are. Since all the Mongolian tribes surrendered to the Dragon Empire, it seems that this trip to Mongolia can only be given up. The Jin and the Dragon Empire are not enemies or friends, so it is not impossible to be neutral. Once the Da Liao is destroyed, the origin of the Dragon Empire will be clearly understood and then make a decision!"
After Wanyan Zongwang finished thinking about it, he said, "Since that's the case, then the other party can only withdraw their troops. But I know nothing about the Dragon Empire and don't know where the imperial capital is? If I, Dajin, want to send envoys in the future, how should I go?"
After hearing Yelu Dashi's translation, Xia Bolong said, "Tell him that if you want to come to the Dragon Empire, come to Gaochang!"
Yelu Dashi translated Xia Bolong's words to Wanyan Zongwang. After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang was shocked: "Gaochang? Has the Uighurs in Xizhou been destroyed? The origin of this Dragon Empire can be found out!"
"Big Stone Forest! I hope you will not be a slave to the destruction of the country under your master, otherwise you will be dead without a burial place! Hahaha!" He shouted arrogantly, and at the same time brought out his intention to attack the Dragon Empire in the future. After laughing, he drove his horse back and suddenly heard a loud "touch". The war horse under his seat was frightened, and the war horse under the Jin soldiers in front of him became anxious. Test text watermark 4.
It turned out that Yelu Dashi heard Wanyan Zongwang's intention and told Xia Bolong. After hearing this, Xia Bolong was very angry and raised his rifle in his hand and fired a shot into the sky to show a warning. On the empty grassland, a loud bang could be heard for more than ten miles without any barriers. The war horses of the Dragon Emperor** team had long been used to this sound, and they didn't even shake it, but they saw the war horses in the Jin soldiers' team in chaos.
When the gunshots fell, Xia Bolong did not respond and directly ordered the troops to retreat slowly and no longer get entangled with the Jurchens.
Wanyan Zongwang had not yet figured out where the sound came from. When he turned around, he saw the Dragon Empire slowly retreating. The entire army was very tight, and the war horses under his seat were not frightened. He couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart: "It's a real hero!"
Turning his horse's head again, Wanyan Zongwang ordered his retreat. The troops of the two countries met in this brief moment. Although there was no conflict, sparks sparked, making the two newly built countries in the east and west restless.
On the way back, Xia Bolong saw the rigor of Wanyan Zongwang and the Jin soldiers when they retreated, and was also sighing at the Jurchens' strength. The persimmons should be softened early. This is a famous saying. Xia Bolong knew very well that the Jin Kingdom was in a time of prosperity. As long as the Jin Kingdom did not attack him, Xia Bolong would not touch these Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom in a short period of years, because he was not strong enough and not strong enough to fight with a strong nation like the Jin Kingdom. The territory in the west was still waiting for his development. Test text watermark 4.
"Dashi Linya... No! It should be Prime Minister Yelu, do you resent me...I, haven't started a war with the Jin army?"
Yelu Dashi shook his head and said lightly: "If Your Majesty doesn't start a war, there is naturally a reason why he won't start a war. Although I am not very clear about the national strength of the Dragon Empire, Chen vaguely felt that the current empire would not fight with the Jin people, and would not do so for at least five years. It would be better to raise troops and wait for the time than to attack hastily."
Xia Bolong admired Yelu Dashi's rationality very much. He had mentioned to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao before the strategy of "raising troops and waiting for the time", but it was not adopted by Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. Therefore, after Emperor Tianzuo of Liao sent troops, he made himself king. Promoting himself king was equivalent to betraying the original country. He no longer blindly dissuading Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, but gave up on him, took a different approach, and developed the Khitan people.
"Haha, the Prime Minister is indeed the Prime Minister. After returning to the country, I will grant you the King of Shunyi. You are the first king I have been granted after the reform." Xia Bolong said.
Yelu Dashi didn't know what Xia Bolong said about the so-called reform, but he knew that the unknown young man in front of him had an unusual wisdom and would definitely make a difference in the vast land outside the border.
"I thank Your Majesty for the reward. However, I have received such a heavy reward just now. I am afraid that some of Your Majesty's old ministers will not accept it, so I will not let my ministers be king for the time being. Besides, I have been kings and wandering in the underdog. It is really boring. It is better to be the prime minister and serve Your Majesty well. It is not too late to reward your majesty if you have any contributions in the future!" Yelu Dashi said. Test the text watermark 8.
"Well, I like your personality, not ostentatious, and very good at being a human being." Xia Bolong praised.
The army of the Dragon Empire returned to China and first stationed in Yizhou for a while. After resting for half a month, he returned to Gaochang along the Silk Road. In addition, Xia Bolong also ordered some people to collect gold mines on Mount Altai, and sent Lu Fang's troops to guard it, deeming it as one of the country's economic lifelines.
On the way back to Gaochang, Xia Bolong was talking about the affairs of the Jin Kingdom with Yelu Dashi, and then he thoroughly explored the Jurchens.
Although the lifestyle of the Jurchens is contrary to the settled agricultural civilization of the Han people, it cannot be explained by a simple formulaic nomadic way. In this regard, the Jurchens are not only different from the Khitans, but also from the Mongols. The latter two people are more in line with the traditional description of the nomadic culture of grasslands (living through water and grass, living in felt tents, the main livestock are horses and camels, and there is little or even no agriculture at all). It can be seen that the life and economic methods of the Jurchens are determined according to the environment they are in: in the forest, fishing and hunting are the dominant ones; on the plains, they raise livestock or engage in farming.
In terms of military establishment, the Jurchens adopted Meng'an Mouke. The so-called Meng'an Mouke was the most basic organization of the Jurchen society in the Jin Dynasty. It was similar to the eight banner systems of the military prefectures and Manchus of the Khitan tribes in the Liao Dynasty. However, in real comparison, there are still obvious differences. Test text watermark 4. Because of the differences between the nation and the times, their essential differences are also different. (If you don't understand it very much, go to Baidu. If you explain too much, it will easily cause the suspicion of word counting.)
After four months of long-distance raid, Xia Bolong finally returned to Gaochang City again. He was physically and mentally exhausted and had nothing to do with at this time. He wanted to lie on the bed, hold his woman and have a beautiful sleep.
He rested for three days in a row, and after three days, some things also followed. The Naiman tribe had many people. Because the Tianshan ranch was not as vast as the Mongolian grassland, and the Uighurs who were grazing there, the entire Tianshan ranch became crowded. The Naiman tribe was also in trouble. In order to grab the grassland, he killed several Uighurs. It didn't matter if this killing was not important. The original Uighurs were unwilling to join each other and fought with the Naiman people at the Tianshan ranch. The result of the fight was that the Naiman tribe won, killed 6,000 Uighurs, and killed more than 2,000 people himself.
As a result, Xia Bolong had to personally rush to the Tianshan Ranch to deal with this particularly difficult ethnic conflict. So he put on his dragon robe, summoned the Dragon Guards, and took General Han Shizhong to the Tianshan Ranch with his horse.
The urgency of this matter is no less than the explosion of the atomic bomb here. At least this incident was the first ethnic dispute since the founding of the Dragon Empire, and it was also such a serious incident. The 100,000 Naimans migrated from the Mongolian grasslands allowed Xia Bolong to be scattered in Kucha, Yanqi and Tianshan ranch. Among them, the troops of the Naiman leader Qu Aheichen were grazing there, and the incident this time was also inseparable from him. Test text watermark 8.
A few days later, Xia Bolong took Han Shizhong and the Three Thousand Dragon Guards to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Along the way, the Uighurs had to flee to Gaochang with their families because they could not fight against the Naimans. Xia Bolong also met many along the way, and they asked them to return to Gaochang for the time being, promising that they would give them an explanation.
"Han Shizhong, are you wrong? I shouldn't have put the Naimans here, I should have let them go to the Weichi and Moman areas. Prime Minister Yelu once told me that the Naimans are brave and ruthless and must be strictly guarded. I didn't pay attention for a moment. Thinking about the fact that they just surrendered, I couldn't just crack down on them. But... who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen? Six thousand people! Damn Naiman killed my 6,000 people. It's hateful, angry, and killing!" Xia Bolong sighed first, but then became very strict, and his eyes were full of hostility.
"Your Majesty, no one can do without mistakes? However, this reminds me that the issue of the Naiman people should be solved as soon as possible. With a very tolerant heart, why not kill Qu Aheichen and include the Naiman people in the dragon clan?" Han Shizhong advised with comfort.
"When killing Qu Aheichen at this time? What would the other Naimans think?"
"Your Majesty! You should stop and suffer the chaos! Although Qu Aheichen is the leader of the Naiman, all Naimans may not be loyal to him. I have seen Qu Aheichen once, a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. Your Majesty keeps him and will only harm the people of the Dragon Empire. Test the text watermark 8. I have learned that the cause of this incident was that Qu Aheichen fell in love with a dragon girl, and the etiquette between the two sides was not correct, and a rift occurred. Qu Aheichen became evil and sent someone to kill the girl's family and seize the grassland. Your Majesty, the Naiman army has about 20,000 people, and this army is still in the hands of Qu Aheichen. If the generals start, it is afraid that it will not end." Han Shizhong said.
"After three days, when you look at me with admiration, this sentence is just right for you. Your words have come to my heart. What I worry most is the Naiman army he holds." Xia Bolong said, "How should you deal with this matter according to your wishes?"
Han Shizhong said: "It's very simple. I'll hold a big Hongmen banquet and kill him on the seat. When I criticize Qu Aheichen's crimes one by one. If anyone dares to refuse, I will kill him to prevent future troubles!"
Hearing Gao Han Shizhong's sharp answer, Xia Bolong also had a murderous intent in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Hahaha, when the Naimans are pacified, I will let you lead your troops alone and attack Yutian."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Shizhong thanked.
—————————————————————
The lead-gray clouds pressed against the earth, and the pale sunlight fell weakly through the gaps of the clouds on the withered grass. The west wind from the low hills in the distance was tighter and tighter, like an invisible long whip in the air, whipping the boundless field sharply. Test text watermark 7. Among the shaking grass, in the exposed yellow sand pile, a dirt-gray hare sometimes jumped out, wiping out a pair of fat sand chickens. In a blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace, making the field appear more desolate and lonely.
A black line appeared on the Gaogang in the west. The black line slowly moved and gradually appeared into a team. The team was long and down the undulating Gaogang. The team was messy, complex and noisy. In front and at the end of the team were full of armed knights. They were all covered in dust, with exhausted and severe expressions. Many knights were holding several empty saddle horses and foals behind them.
More than 100 vehicles in the middle of the team formed a long convoy, filled with tents, food, supplies, and women and children. Seventy or eighty camels carrying drinking water, and miscellaneous camels were staggering in the convoy. The dogs bark, horses neighed, and the sounds of people shouting at the cattle came from the "whimpering" autumn wind, from far away, making this empty and lonely grassland suddenly add a little vitality.
This is a tribe of Naimans undergoing a large shift, but there is no see a large herd of cattle and sheep. Only one herd of horses moves with the team driven by more than ten horse wranglers. It is also very different from the calm atmosphere of the past when the shepherds transition. The entire team seems to be rapid and anxious as they move.
Twenty or thirty knights in military uniform surrounded a leader riding a dark horse and rushed to the front of the team. The leader wore a bronze helmet, fox fur cloak, tightly tied soft armor, and stood on the saddle, which was very majestic. He held the horse, looked forward with two sinister and sharp eyes for a while, then looked up at the gradually dim sky, and glanced at the team moving around, as if he was very dissatisfied with the speed of the team and the exhausted and slack atmosphere displayed by the entire team. Test the text watermark 5. He turned the horse's head and said sternly to the leaders around him: "Go and urge me quickly, don't be too slow, don't want to survive? Disobediently use a whip to make the animals run!"
After hearing the orders of the black horse leader, the leaders of the big and small rode their horses and rushed forward and back to the team. After a while, the shouts and whistles in the team became louder and more dense; the complex and messy team immediately became more tidy and tighter, and the horses and vehicles all trotted "ruggedly".
Suddenly, a red army quickly rushed forward. The leader saw it from afar, and there was a burst of inexplicable joy on his face, and hurriedly shouted: "It's the Dragon Guard! It's the Dragon Guard! We are saved!"
With the shout of the leader, the entire lifeless tribe became shouting to the sky and the earth. The leader hurriedly dismounted and called all the tribes to dismount immediately, bowed to both places, and shouted with the members of the tribe, "See Your Majesty!"
When the red army came to them under Xia Bolong's leadership, they saw that the tribe was a Naiman, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
The voice was shouted out, but because these Nai Barbarians could not understand Xia Bolong's language, they could only stare at him and could not answer.
At this moment, a few bloody soldiers flashed out from behind the original hill. Under the leadership of a big man, they were running fast and shouting, "Qu Aheichen is here, run quickly!"
When Xia Bolong heard the shout, he turned his head and saw the man who was leading the army. Who else could it be if it weren't for Kerry Lili?
"Kerry Liuli! What happened?" Xia Bolong asked loudly immediately.
Kriliri was covered in blood. Before he could speak, a group of cavalry flashed out from behind, holding a bow in his hand. As soon as the hill was exposed, he shot arrows in front. Several cavalrymen in front fell down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After seeing this, Xia Bolong asked his soldiers to shoot each other in an interlaced manner. The sounds alternated and spread throughout the wilderness, causing the group of Naiman cavalry who were chasing Krilili to stop the horse's hooves.
Krilili quickly came to Xia Bolong's side, immediately knelt down, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, save our tribe quickly!"
The Naiman cavalry who were chasing behind blocked the exit of the mountain hill. Seeing Han Shizhong and the three thousand dragon guards lined up in a row, blocking the other Naiman tribe they were chasing. They dismounted one after another, knelt on the ground, shouting loudly in Mongolian, "Your Majesty is good, good fortune, longevity and good health!"
Xia Bolong couldn't understand Mongolian language, and was very upset and too lazy to pay attention to them, so he said to Krilili: "What happened? Didn't it mean that Naiman and the people of my dragon clan had a conflict? Why did you get in too?"
Kerryli replied: "Your Majesty, I am trying to persuade Qu Aheichen. Not only did he not listen, he also wanted to kill him. I hid in the clan of Sambik. The leader of Sambik pleaded for me. But Qu Aheichen was cruel and wanted to kill the entire clan of Sambik. I was so scared that Sambik escaped overnight. I had to follow me. Qu Aheichen sent cavalry to pursue him. I led a few warriors in the clan of Sambik to resist and was outnumbered, so I ended up like this. Fortunately, I met Your Majesty at this time. Otherwise, I was afraid that Your Majesty would never see you again."
"Maba Damn! Is this Qu A Heichen trying to rebel? First, he harmed the Uighurs before, and now he attacked his fellow tribe. Is there any emperor in his eyes? Kerry Liuli told these pursuing soldiers that those who surrendered should not die, and those who resisted kill the entire clan! I only killed Qu A Heichen, and it has nothing to do with them, so let them get out of here quickly!" Xia Bolong said furiously.
Krilili immediately stood up, walked forward, thrust his waist and screamed, scaring the Naiman soldiers to death. They pressed their originally lowered heads even lower, and they had already stuck to the grass, and expressed their willingness to surrender to Xia Bolong.
After hearing Krili Lili's translation, Xia Bolong asked Han Shizhong and his men to confiscate the weapons that pursued the people, and then asked Sambik to lead the entire tribe to station here. He himself took Krili Lili, Han Shizhong and the Three Thousand Dragon Guards to enter the Tianshan Ranch, preparing to kill Qu Aheichen!
