Section 3 The Founding of the Khitan Nation

Eastern suburbs

Tang Dynasty: Wei Yingwu

Officials stay in their homes all year round, and go out into the countryside to clear the dawn.

The willows are scattered by the gentle breeze, and the green hills are stirred by my worries.

I rest comfortably in the bushes and return to the edge of the stream.

In the gentle rain and mist, where are the spring doves singing?

The joyful and quiet heart often stops, but the deeds are still fast.

In the end, we settled down together in a cottage, admiring Tao and being a concubine.

In fact, the people who covet the throne of Khan are not only the brothers of Yelu Abaoji, but also the other seven tribes. After the civil war of the Diela tribe, their strength was greatly reduced. The other seven tribes realized that the opportunity had come.

There was a rebellion in the Wugu tribe, and Yelu Abaoji personally led his troops to fight against it. The seven tribes took this opportunity to communicate secretly and prepared to get rid of Abaoji. When Abaoji returned from putting down the rebellion, men from the seven tribes had been waiting for him on the way.

.They forced Yelu Abaoji to hand over the position of khan and restore the khan election system.

After Yelu Abaoji's army put down the rebellion, they were exhausted and unable to fight the seven tribes at this time. Abaoji thought about it and found that the only feasible way was to give in. But he proposed that during the nine years he had been a khan, he would be a prisoner.

He had killed many Han people, and he wanted to lead these Han people to start a new business and govern the country.

The leaders of the seven tribes never expected that Yelu Abaoji would agree so readily. They did not consider Abaoji's small request and agreed directly.

Therefore, Abaoji brought the captured or surrendered Han people from the Diela tribe and the Khitan tribe to ancient Han City. After Abaoji led his tribe here, he encouraged everyone to farm. Soon, the economic and military strength of the Diela tribe increased.

And the population ranks first among the eight Khitan tribes.

Yelu Abaoji had endured it for a long time, and he decided to re-attend the khan re-election meeting. This matter was stopped by Yelu Abaoji's wife Shuluping. He believed that the position of khan was elected every three years, and even if he was elected, he would not be elected.

There is no guarantee that forced uterus will not happen again. The safest way is to kill them all.

After discussing with his wife, Yelu Abaoji decided to start with salt. Because the Khitans lived on the grasslands, they did not produce salt. The only salt supplier was the ancient Han city. Yelu Abaoji sent an invitation to the seven tribal leaders, saying that I would supply it.

You provided the salt, so you should come and reward me.

The seven tribal leaders thought it made sense, so they set a date and came to Diela tribe with gifts. Everyone was enjoying themselves at the banquet. At this moment, they heard a whistle and ambush.

The surrounding soldiers swarmed up and killed all seven tribal leaders. This was the famous "Salt Pond Incident" in Khitan history.

After that, Yelu Abaoji unified the eight tribes of Khitan. In 916 AD, he officially proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country. The country was named Khitan, and he made his eldest son Yelu Bei the prince. He completely abolished the tribal election system and began to implement the hereditary system of the throne. After taking the throne,

Yelu Abaoji promulgated the law and also established the central north-south official system. The northern official system governed the Khitans and the south governed the Han people. Yelu Abaoji also asked Yelu Tulu to create the Khitan writing without waiting for others.

From then on, the Khitan was no longer a wandering tribe, but an empire with great ambitions.

Life insights: In this world, those who are in the worst situation are often not those who have no ability at all. On the contrary, those who have some ability are more likely to make mistakes and make mistakes. This is like a "duck" who has no clue about his death, because he always

It is far away from the water. People who are good at swimming like to show off their water skills. Swimmers are careless because of their good water skills. As a result, "all the good swimmers drown".

Therefore, in "Guanzi. Shu Yan", Guanzi believed: "People lose themselves because of their strengths. Therefore, those who are good at swimming die in Liangchi, and those who are good at shooting die in the middle and wild." Lianghe refers to the foot of the bridge.

A place where water flows to store emergencies. A person who is good at swimming has superb swimming skills and is not afraid of danger, but ends up being caught in a spinning pot and dies. A person who is good at shooting relies on his accurate archery skills and always shoots birds and beasts in the wild, but is killed by the beast. This is
