The First Champion Chapter 471
"I won't keep you in these few days. I'm going to have a banquet with my friends and say goodbye. Don't just rush to transport food on the road. My intention is not to use you scholars as donkeys. Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. After returning, everyone will write an article and hand it in.”
Several disciples got up quickly, bowed to say goodbye, Yang Lin also stood up, and took out a secret letter in his sleeve.
Wu Lin, an admiral of the South China Sea, mentioned an incident in the letter, which made Yang Lin very concerned.Yizhou is the Taiwan of later generations. Their navy is going to Yizhou as one of the strongholds to wipe out the Champa pirates. Of course Yang Lin supports it.
However, I don't know what is going on in Yizhou now. If there is a strong enemy and a big war is triggered, the focus now is to support Yunnei with the whole country.
Even Yang Lin didn't want to cause trouble at this time.After all, in Jiaozhi, the imperial court still maintained a war of 10,000+ troops.
Although a country is strong, it will perish if it is warlike, unless it has enough capital and can gain greater benefits through war.
The two wars currently going on are all for the sake of border appeasement, and even if they win, they cannot be converted into economic benefits in the short term.
Even though the Great Song Dynasty was rich and powerful, he could not resort to militarism, and had to plan carefully.
I think it's better to send someone to have a look and find out the truth
The red sun broke through the clouds, and in the Jurchen army camps spread across the mountains and plains in the east of Datong, countless wet, muddy, exhausted army horses poured out, cheering loudly towards the sun above their heads!
This long-lasting bird rain has really tossed the mighty Jurchen Erlang enough, and now it is finally waiting for the rain to clear up!
Wanyan Loushi, who took the lead in entering the city, has already led the troops out of the city and re-armed along the Sanggan River.
Between Yunzhou and Hongzhou is the supply line of the Jurchen army, which connects to Huining Mansion in the upper capital, and there are countless soldiers, horses, money and food to support Yunnei from here.
Wanyan Loushi looked at the road below, a group of people came over, and this group of people were all short-haired, wearing dirty leather robes, short, rough and strong.Originally, the whole body was already full of fishy smell, but rolling in the mire these days was even more filthy and embarrassing to the extreme.
They are the Jin Kingdom Auxiliary Army under the Thirty Tatars in Monan, Yelu Dashi negotiated peace with Jurchen, and the bargaining chip is to cede all of Monan.
These grassland tribes that once submitted to Daliao were the predecessors of the later Mongols. If Yang Lin hadn't appeared, in the past hundred years, these tribes in the south and north of the desert would have gradually developed into a powerful grassland empire.After the Kingdom of Jin decayed and fell, these tribes would once again rise violently, bringing the tide of destruction to the entire Ming world, killing thousands of miles across the Eurasian continent.
And the orthodox Han Jiaming in the Central Plains, for the first time, truly perished and was completely occupied by the Hu people, establishing the so-called Yuan Dynasty.
Now these tribes have not yet matured. Although each of them can bear hardships and stand hard work, they are fierce in battle.But their equipment was extremely poor, and it was incomparable to the Jurchen who had completely inherited the Liao people's family business.
In Monan, an iron pot is enough to become a family heirloom, which shows how far there is a lack of smelting.
The best equipment for these Mongolian tribal troops is nothing more than stinky leather armor, horned bow and bone arrows.As a Qingqi and Ranger, he is barely qualified, but if he really wants to fight in battle, he is an era behind Song Jin.
The reason is very simple, no matter how strong your Mongolian tribe is, you are only an individual. If you shoot an arrow made of bone, you will not be able to break the armor on the opposite side, at most it will hurt.But when the opponent's weapon and arrowhead fly towards you, a big hole will be opened in your body immediately.As long as the opponent's army and horses have a basic level, there is no way to fight this battle.
Therefore, the Mongols in Monan were quickly conquered by Jurchen, and they recruited people from various tribes to fight.
Moreover, Monan is now full of tribes, divided and scattered, a bit like Tubo a few years ago, but much poorer than Tubo.They are not organized at all, so at this moment, these grassland tribes are just an inconspicuous role on the land of East Asia. In the land outside the Great Wall, whoever is strong will be attached to them.
I hope that I can follow the master, share a piece of carrion, and keep the tribe alive.
These grassland tribal armies are now obedient to orders under the might of the Jurchen soldiers, trembling with fear.Being called back and forth by the generals of the Jurchen army is like envoys.All the way south, not only had to bear the heavy responsibility of sentry and scouting, but also often went out to fight for the Jurchen army and horses.After searching the mountains and entering the valleys, after spending a lot of life to open them, they worked hard to get some food, fodder and livestock.Most of them had to be taken to the Jurchen army.
Wanyan Loushi looked at them, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, in his eyes, they were a group of walking corpses who did not know how to make progress, and they were not worthy of a good look at all.
In fact, they now treat the Mongols in the same way that the Liao people treated the "Jurchen savages" back then.
In the history of later generations, Wan Yanliang, who was so successful, moved the capital of the Kingdom of Jin to Yanjing all the way, and the degree of Sinicization of the Kingdom of Jin deepened rapidly.
Similarly, their deterrence of rule over the Hu tribe began to weaken.After Wan Yanliang's death, the Khitan people caused an unprecedented scale of military chaos outside the Great Wall.At that time, Jin Shizong Wan Yanxi borrowed a large number of troops from the grassland tribes to participate in the quelling of the Khitan people.
After Xiao Saba's Khitan uprising was revealed, the Mongols, after the war and being equipped with weapons, gradually moved towards integration, just like the Wanyan tribe unifying the Jurchens.
After a few more years, a group of strong men against the sky emerged from these inconspicuous miscellaneous beards, not weaker than today's Aguda, Lou Shi, Zong Han, and Zong Wang
The team of knights in Wanyan Loushi's eyes consisted of about 700 people, which were made up of several tribes in Monan.In the past few days, they braved the heavy rain and went out for three or four days in the mud to forage the valley, and then they had to return.
How many fish slipped through the net in Yunnei for them to plunder and slaughter, and the food and grass seized was very pitiful, at most two to three hundred shi of various grains, including many grass seeds.Behind the slowly returning team were more than a dozen skinny sheep and horses, which was the biggest gain.
While these knights were lazily riding back, some were still tearing and fighting for two women's clothes of poor material and workmanship, and finally just rolled into the mud and punched each other, and no one cared.
Wanyan Loushi did not look at them at all, stared at the road in the distance, pointed to the east with his horsewhip, and said: "We were chased by the Song people in Weizhou, these people are not cowards, the Song people's reinforcements must be Will be the first to come from here."
Beside him, there are all Jurchen soldiers in armor, with sharp weapons and fierce aura.
One of them said: "It's a good time to come. For several days in a row, the beating is extremely aggrieved. It's just a good time to vent my anger on them."
Wanyan Loushi's expression froze, and he raised his head to the sky, looking at the finally clear sky and the hot sun above his head: "This year, I have fought with Song people on and off for a few times, and I always suffered some dark losses. .If we lose the battle again, we will never think about going south to get the boundless wealth and women."
"This time, the real rise of our Jurchens will only be achieved if we show the momentum to wipe out the Khitan."
Chapter 534 The High Autumn Moon Shines on the Great Wall
Jurchen wiped out Daliao in one fell swoop with a mere ten thousand soldiers and horses, relying on their invincible military power.
Success is also military power, and defeat is also military power. If they want to maintain their grassland hegemony, they must not fail, otherwise there will definitely be rebellions.
Jurchen's hastily established rule will also be shaken.
On the grassland, there has never been a shortage of short-lived overlords. In this land where the jungle preys on the weak, even if you were once the strongest beast king, once you get injured, you will inevitably be bitten and devoured and become the nourishment for the next king.
Wanyan Loushi knew this very well, how could he not understand the significance of this battle?
There are already many tribal elders in some Mongolian miscellaneous camps here, secretly discussing whether to arrange some young men in each tribe to secretly leave the team and return to the grassland, leaving some seeds for each tribe.
The current battle has become so fierce that it makes people breathless, and these things inevitably fell into the ears of the Jurchens.
All the ministries were also broken and smashed, and they were not afraid at all. They were almost dead anyway, and they were afraid of him.When they followed Khitan back then, they also had the same mentality. Once the weather was cold and there was a storm or snowstorm, if they couldn't survive, they would go to Khitan's city to snatch it.
These people are scattered and not united, and they have deep hatred for each other, and they are often beaten severely when caught by Khitan.The Khitans were also very helpless, and generally only killed the leaders of the tribe, but they quickly elected a new leader.
Did you ask him to change it?Of course they changed it, and they all expressed that they would surrender to the glory of the Daliao forever, and that it would do as long as they knelt down and kissed the boots of the Khitan generals.But if the weather is bad in the coming year, he will still come, grab your food, cattle and sheep, and kill your Khitan people.There is no way, if you come to rob, you will die, if you don't rob, you will starve to death, they have no other way to go.This is the grassland, the grassland where the weak eat the strong.
However, what was waiting for them turned out to be a large amount of weapons and armor, a large amount of military equipment, and even food, fodder and livestock!
Wanyan Aguda ordered that Shangjing Prefecture and Tokyo Prefecture scraped three feet away, and they also had to collect the supplies for this expedition, and arm these Mongolian miscellaneous Hus who were seriously lacking in weapons and armor for their own use.
The battle has reached this point, and Datong City has risen from the scramble for every street to the point where every house is repeatedly scrambled for.Datong City has experienced countless tragic battles, but street fighting of this level is unprecedented.
If the will is not strong enough, I am afraid that even if they escape the open and dark arrows, they will have a mental breakdown long ago.
A steady stream of reinforcements, marching, encountering, and fighting on the land of Yunnei, no one dares to shrink the outer forces, come to the city to strangle and kill, and if you are not careful, you will be surrounded in Datong.
The Mongols never thought that their servants, who were not loved by their grandfathers and grandmothers, would also get this kind of treatment.
Under the light of the fire, countless savage-faced prairie men cheered and cheered around the bonfire holding up their beloved scimitar, some even fell to their knees and stabbed at Wanyan Loushi's big tent. blood, to vote.
"Longevity is in the sky. The villain will follow General Wanyan and put his life at risk. It's all based on General Wanyan's order!"
These people looked at the weapons under the fire, as if they were children who got their favorite toy, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel creepy.What these people held in their hands and kept kissing were sharp weapons for killing people.
This thing can easily kill a person with a slight wave in the hands of a Mongolian man. I don't know how many times more powerful than their bone sticks and arrows.
