Chapter Thirty-Nine - Prostration(1/2)
The troops who pursued the defeated enemy returned to the camp one after another, leading a large number of prisoners.
Shao Shude stood above the building and looked from afar.
Most of the captives were dejected and bowed their heads without saying a word.
Some people seem to be dissatisfied, thinking that the defeat was too unfair and did not exert his strength.
This is the savage!
Shao Shude smiled. When fighting, he tried every means to make the enemy uncomfortable, all kinds of awkward and depressed, and he could not use all his strength, and could not afford 50% of the ten-cost things.
These methods that make the enemy's state decline and cannot exert real strength are called military tactics.
Who is competing with you face to face strength and the ability to endure hardships? Fighting in battle is just to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
But these prisoners are of good quality.
Hard work, good obedience, and a sense of courage, is actually a very good source of military service.
He remembered the famous Battle of Chuhedian, where 1,200 Jurchen soldiers were dismounted and the siege battle was defeated, and 7,000 Liao soldiers were defeated. Mengchong and Meng were really good at fighting.
The Jurchen savages, because they mostly live in mountainous areas, have always been famous for their infantry battles and are very excellent infantry seeds. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, the infantry was very outstanding. Khitan and Mongolian cavalry were like native chickens and tiles in front of them.
He would not release the more than 3,000 prisoners of prisoners. In the future, he would have some places where these people work hard to fight in the Western Regions. He could even immigrate some of the Jurchens to the Western Regions.
The Shatuo people originally lived in the Beiting area of Anxi, but were later moved to Ganzhou and Liangzhou by Tubo, fled to Tang Ting, were placed in Fengzhou and Shengzhou, and then moved to Daibei. Now they are going to be brought to the northeast by Shao Shude.
Isn’t this great shift in the universe and the immigration of thousands of miles the kind fathers of all ethnic groups in Daxia what they should do?
"Your Majesty, the nobles of all the tribes have arrived." Chu Shenping called softly below.
Shao Shude withdrew his gaze, went downstairs, and then walked to the venue surrounded by the silver-sansing warriors.
The venue is on the east bank of Meituo Lake, west of Meizhou City, near the battlefield - Meituo Lake is Anyuan Prefecture, and Tuozhou in the west is Dongping Prefecture, which is the origin of the name of Meituo Lake.
This area was undoubtedly in Russia in later generations, roughly in the area of Spask. At this time, tents had been set up, and the leaders of the clans offered pigs, sheep, and prey, and knelt in the snow with fear.
When Shao Shude arrived, under Wanyan Xiu's leadership, the leaders of the tribes shouted in Han'er's words in unison: "Long live my emperor!"
Why be arrogant at first but respectful at the end!
Shao Shude sneered secretly and sat on his tiger-skin chair. Xia Luqi and Zhong Yanyou stood by the side with their swords.
"Get up." Shao Shudezai looked at the leaders of the tribes carefully and said.
The thirty surnames of Hei Shui Moe are actually thirty clans, and clans are combined into tribes. The population of a single clan is as small as hundreds of people, and the number of thousands is as large as thousands.
The Wanyan clan should be a relatively strong clan, and so is the Wuyan clan. In comparison, the clans such as Tudan and Adi are much weaker. But regardless of strength, the economic conditions of the clan leader should be good-
Wearing a helmet, long boots, and fur.
There are patterns on the fur and shawls on both shoulders. The shawls are very long and extend all the way to the wrist.
If he read correctly, the texture of the fur clothes should be mainly martened or green rat skin, and occasionally fox, raccoon skin and lamb skin.
The leaders are all quite rich! The Bohai Sea has declined and cannot be exploited hard enough. They have a small savings each one. It's OK.
There were some followers following the leaders, probably tribal warriors.
Shao Shude looked at it and they mostly wore leather jackets and pants like roe deer.
Combined with the situation seen on the battlefield, ordinary Jurchens wore clothes made of cows, sheep, pigs, horses, cats, dogs, fish and snake skins.
Well, the leader wore marten waffles, the "middle class" waffles, the ordinary people wore sheepskin, pigskin, and dogskin coats, and the poorest waffles, with clear classes - it seems that even among the wild Jurchen tribes, the "fish skin Tartars" are the lowest cannon fodder, and Shudra is undoubtedly.
"It's cold and I don't have much to say. I'll only talk about three things now." Shao Shude cleared his throat and said.
Everyone held their breath and focused.
"I invite you to attack Bohai. You are here. This is very good." Shao Shude said: "If you only plunder some property and retreat, I am too lazy to say anything. But you shouldn't have absolutely no choice but to occupy Tieli Mansion, Dongping Mansion, Anyuan Mansion, and Fan Mohei to cause chaos. This is your crime. I have always been enlightened and rewarded if you have merits, and punish if you have mistakes. If you have merits, you can reward you. I will not ask you to go back to the plundered goods, and you can take them home. But if you have mistakes, you must punish them. If you have mistakes, you will want to take them to Chenzhou. In addition, the thirty surnames of Hei Shui still need to punish three thousand people. Do you have any objections?"
This is a very serious punishment. The leaders of the tribes were blackened and almost fainted after hearing this. However, they are now trapped in Meizhou, like hostages. Whatever they say is, can they resist?
“No objection.”
"I admit it."
"Your Majesty's wiseness."
The leaders had bitter faces and their hearts were bleeding.
Shao Shude chuckled.
The Jurchens had a poor population. During the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchens had only 100,000 households. Even if one household had a slightly larger population, the total population was within one million, and the probability was only a few hundred thousand.
In this time and space, the 30 Hei Shui surnames who have not yet taken advantage of the weakness of the Bohai Sea to go south to eat up the territory are cramped on both sides of Heilongjiang. Only 100,000 people will die if they are killed. It is considered to be your great success to be able to pull out 30,000 men. This time, six or seven thousand were taken away, and thousands of them died on the battlefield. At least one-third of their strength is gone. I don’t know how much time it will take to recover.
As for cleansing up, this is really impossible.
Look at where people live:
1. Heilongjiang in Tongjiang, Boli area, and on both sides of the Songhua River.
2. The mountains north of Jiamusi and west of Heilongjiang are above the plains.
3. The Great Northern Wilderness in the Daqing area is connected to the Shiwei people's territory.
4. North of Heilongjiang, mountains and river valleys in Russia.
5. The Sikhot Mountains in Russia, along the coast of the Sea of Japan.
The Jurchens involved in the Fourth and Fifth Middle Schools were not the Hei Shui Five Tribes, but the cave that once relied on them, that the vassal tribes such as Mogo and Simu were not the Thirty Hei Shui surnames.
These are five large residential areas, and there are many sporadic ones. It can be seen that the distribution is very scattered, the terrain is complex, and the weather is cold. Many tribes did not come this time because they were too far away to clear one by one. Not to mention that the weather is not suitable at this time, even if it is suitable, the cost is too high and not worth it.
In fact, the Bohai people are right. Their side walls are very reasonable. Even outside the side walls, there are still some relatively rich plains, but not many. This can effectively control their population - the population reproduction and resources are needed, and the place is so large that there are actually a number of people who can support them.
This is the principle of not letting them enter a warm place. Therefore, Shao Shude proposed the second one.
"Secondly, the border wall of the Bohai Kingdom is the border between Daxia and you and others, and cannot be crossed without authorization." Shao Shude said: "But don't give up on yourself. The Heishui tribes are also citizens of Daxia and my innocent children. I want to set up iron liberty, Baolu, Tongjiang, Heishui, Jinghai, Xu'er and other local officials from all over the world, but they cannot annex each other. They will always be good for the world. After autumn every year, before the day of the day, the tribes need to go to Yonghe Palace, Yongning Palace, and Yongding Palace to pay tribute and trade with each other."
Yonghe Palace has been established, and it is the pasture of Shatuo tribe in the area of Zhenlai County in the later times.
Yongning Palace and Yongding Palace will be the ranch of the two ministries of Sage and Anqing. There is no time this year and will be recruited to establish the people of the Bohai Sea next year. In principle, one is located in the lower reaches of the Songhua River, and the other will be located in the Ussuri River Basin.
The only problem is that the three Shatuo tribes originally lived in Daibei and were very close to the Central Plains. Most of them were unwilling to live in such a desolate place. There was nothing to do here, so poor that they could not buy anything even if they had money. It was impossible to have no resentment in their hearts.
Shao Shude had received a secret report from Shi Jianyan before that many soldiers of Shatuo complained, and many people asked to return to Hedong to live.
This call has to be considered seriously.
The Hexi area where Shatuo people were the first to be was not rich, and after being harmed by Tubo, it was even worse than before. If we really wanted to compare it, it might not be much better than the Yongning Palace, which was backed by the Bohai Kingdom, but the problem is that they may not be happy to live a hard life.
Shao Shudesi thought about it and had to do more than one thing to do to give benefits - they have given you a guard of the border, so there is no support policy?
The assistance policies are both money and promotion channels, and they must be taken care of. We must think about the specific details. After all, one is not good, and it will be funny to make the uprising of the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In addition, Liaodong Road must develop well. The Bohai Kingdom itself has more than one million people, and a large number of Han people have immigrated to come. After decades of stable development and the population has grown, the lives of these two border palaces and pastures will not be so hard.
Of course, the most important thing is that future generations should keep a clear mind. Don’t be fooled by others and abolish the many preferential policies he has set up, otherwise the Qishatuo people would join the Jurchens.
Alas, in the classical era, it was really too difficult to maintain a huge territory. I always felt like burying mines for future generations. But it was impossible for him to cover everything, nor could it be perfect. The wisdom of future generations sounds a bit irresponsible, but sometimes it is really important.
"Do you have any objections to this?" After saying that, Shao Shude looked at everyone and asked.
"No objection." What can everyone have?
It is actually a good thing to be hereditary to local officials. Although it may not be strictly enforced, it is better than not.
They need mutual trading even more urgently, and only fools don’t want it.
As for paying tribute, it was found when the Bohai Sea was in its prosperity. They even built many dog sled stations to lead to the Hei Shui River. From time to time, "angels" who show off their power came over, and additional taxes and even population were levied.
"The third thing is that each clan takes turns to send his sons and nephews to join the two inner guards in Luoyang for two years." Shao Shude said again.
"No objection." Before Shao Shude asked this time, the clan leaders agreed.
This is also a good thing.
When my sons and nephews entered the Luoyang palace, they said they were acting as guards, but in fact they gave you a chance to be promoted. Even if you can't become an official, you will receive a lot of rewards during your two-year stay, and your status will be improved after returning to the tribe.
The saints of Daxia are still very particular and know how to give opportunities to poor people in remote areas. Moreover, judging by the fierce appearance of the Daxia Dynasty, there are probably not many good people in the entire court from top to bottom. Various wars are inevitable in the future. The children who go to Luoyang will definitely seize the opportunity and strive to gain their position. After all, compared with the people of the Central Plains, their lives are very hard and the channels for ascending are narrow. It is impossible not to fight desperately.
"Since you agree, you must abide by it. If anyone repents, everyone will kill him. I will also send a large army to suppress him." After Shao Shude finished speaking, his tone slowed down and said with a smile: "I will not bully you from Bohai people. I will live a good life in the future. Isn't it good to be harmonious? Drink wine and eat meat!"
"The saint is wise." Everyone shouted, and they all bowed to the ground.
Just then, the snow stopped, so wine and food were placed in the open air, and everyone sat in front of the bonfire.
Fried rice, steamed cakes, hu cakes, soup cakes, meat and oil cakes, sponge cakes, and rice porridge filled the blankets.
There are all kinds of wine, fruit wine, rice wine and spirits.
The crucian carp from the newly hooked, the sturgeon from the Jurchens, the pickled giant salamander caught in the sea, beef and mutton, black pork, venison, etc.
After the banquet began, Shao Shude secretly observed the expressions of the heads of the Jurchen clans, and found that they were very happy and chatting and laughing while drinking and eating meat, which made him feel a little confused.
I just killed thousands of you, but I didn’t respond at all?
Even if he was frightened by the power of the army and did not dare to act in a sad manner, he would not be so happy? It doesn't seem like he was acting, and these rough people don't have the same kind of scheming and acting skills.
Could it be that the harsh living environment in the Heishui area have long made these people indifferent to life and death? Or are the clan leaders more like politicians and less sad about the death and injury of tribe members?
While he was imagining, Wanyan Xiu got up and left the table, and went to the open space to dance, and everyone clapped their hands.
To be continued...
