Chapter 361 We are golden thieves, we want to rob!
On April 12, in the center of the Jin army's Zhuozhou camp, Wanyan Zongbi's roar suddenly came from a huge felt tent.
"Xilianbao, what's the battle you're fighting? Six thousand households, plus the four armies of cannons, tubes, pots, and water, a total of 80,000 people! Let you guard for ten days, you can guard for seven or eight days, no, you can guard for four or five days! Why did you lose in two days? And you lost more than 20,000 people and lost eighty boats."
It turned out that Wanyan Zongbi was scolding his cousin Wanyan Xiebao!
Wanyan Xiebao had already taken the defeated army back to the Zhuozhou camp where Wanyan Zongbi was. When he went there, he had 80,000 people, but there were still 57,800 left after returning, actually it was okay, only more than 20,000 were killed. Among them, the abolition of the navy army was not blamed. He did not understand the navy army at all, and the nonsense ditch fleet was not established by him.
As for the 70,000 troops he could be responsible for, he lost more than 10,000 people, and 80,000 of them were Khitan, Bohai, Han'er, and not many real Jurchens died. Even the Khitan Wanhu, Bohai Wanhu and Han'er's personal guards did not all be killed. Wanyan Xiebao was still quite good at seeing the Song army first hit the Khitan, Bohai, and Han'er's three armies with cannons, and then launched a counterattack with "armored grenadiers", which made Liu Yuan (Nian Kuo), Baigao (Nian Dao) and Yelu Nuge and the others were about to collapse, so they did not continue to force them. Instead, they ordered the withdrawal of these three dogs. It would be useless to force them to death in one go.
So when Wanyan Xiebao saw that Liu Yanzong's son Liu Yuan was surrounded by the Song army's grenadiers, he also sent his Tiefutu personal soldiers to fight back and catch Liu Yuan.
Yue Fei had insufficient cavalry at hand, only one general, so he could only pursue the army with his infantry. When he chased Qigou Pass, he met tens of thousands of troops led by Wanyan Zonghan to pick up Xibao. Yue Fei, who had relatively weak troops, had to lead his troops to retreat to Xincheng (Baigou Hebei, Liu Lihexi) to station.
After Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiebao met, they did not go south to find a place. Instead, they retreated to Zhuozhou on the south bank of Zhuo River, and then set up defenses along Zhuo River, blocking the intersection of Zhuo River and Liu Li River to prevent the Song army from using the captured ditch fleet to advance towards Daxing Prefecture City along the line of "Liu Li River Zhuo River Sanggan River".
Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xibao had just set up their defenses, and God poured a heavy rain. From the eighth day of the lunar month to now, they are still rushing down.
Moreover, the rainfall this time was very large, and almost the entire northern part of Nanjing Road and Hebei Road was filled with heavy rain. The roads were muddy, and there were heavy floods in many places.
Because the muddy roads restricted the performance of the Jin army's cavalry, and the heavy rains for several days restricted the power of the Song army's artillery and grenades.
Therefore, the Song and Jin armies on the battlefield on Nanjing Road had to rest and wait for the sun to clear the sky.
On the Jin army, in addition to the rest of the entire army, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiebao's uncle and nephew quarreled every day.
Wanyan Zongbi was quite dissatisfied with Wanyan Xiebao's performance in the Battle of Baigouhe! This guy only had to hold on for another two days and he would be able to wait until it rained heavily. Then the Song army's firearms could not be used. At least the Jin army could force the Song army to the south bank of Baigouhe, right?
But the boy Xibao couldn't fight a tough battle. After suffering a little setback, he wanted to run away. So Wanyan Zongbi got angry when he saw Xibao in the past two days, but he scolded him.
Wanyan Xiebao is the eldest grandson of the Wanyan family. He is also a prince, and he made it with his ability. How could he buy Wanyan Zongbi’s account? Of course, he has to be scolded.
"Uncle, there were 20,000 people in Baigou River in two days. Can this battle be fought for four or five days? 40,000 to 50,000 for four or five days? The Khitans, Bohai people, and Han people in the army were not enough to die, how many Jurchens would have to die?"
Wanyan Zongbi was furious when he heard this, "The people in the south are forced to Nanjing Road. If Nanjing Road cannot be defended, they will have to fight in Liaodong and Beijing Road (Linhuang Mansion). At that time, there will only be more nations who will die!"
Wanyan Xiebao burst out laughing: "Uncle Wang, how many times have I told you that the world is so big. As long as the guys are strong and the kung fu is strong, where can we go? What are the Liaodong? What are the Linhuang Mansions? What did we Jurchens start their business? We started by burning, killing, looting, and we settled our family in Liaodong and Linhuang Mansions not to farm there, but to rob the Han women. Now it is difficult for Han people to rob. The guys in their hands are too hard, and the kung fu of the mansion soldiers is not weak, so we can't rob them at all!
There are many easy-to-rob others elsewhere. Look at how happy Dangxiang people are now? They can blow up so many gold, silver and treasures with a few broken pots, and they also grab so many good horses and Hu Ji. We are better than Dangxiang people. If we don’t rob, it’s easy to rob them. Are you still guarding the farming in Liaodong and guarding Linhuang Mansion to herd sheep?”
Wanyan Xiebao's words were not for Wanyan Zongbi to listen, but for the group of Jurchen households who were persuaded to reconcile in the big tent, Meng'an listened.
Let me add that [app] is really good, it’s worth pretending. After all, there are many books, all books, and quick updates!
This Wanyan Xiebao is really eye-opening in the Western Regions! Before he went to the Western Regions, he thought that the Southern Song Dynasty was the most cowardly in the world. But when he arrived in the Western Regions, he realized what it means to be endless? What a boundless coward!
Moreover, in Wanyan Xiebao's view, if you want to live a good life in the Great Jin Kingdom, you have to grab it!
If the Great Jin Dynasty no longer became a robber, but instead switched to herd sheep and farming, what should the Da Jin court do? How do so many Jurchen nobles live? Relying on the Jurchens and Bohai people below to support herd sheep and farm? Is it possible? Those people have been used to eating over the years. If they rely solely on farming and herding sheep, it will be difficult to support themselves!
Do you rely on exploiting the Khitan and Liaodong Han? What a joke, how many people are they? They are so tired that they can't afford to support them!
Moreover, most of the Khitans were nomadic. If they were exploited too hard, they would definitely run away to throw themselves into Yelu Dashi.
Although the Han people who farmed could not escape, they could not beat the Jurchens. But they forced them to force them to become tenants and survived. In a few years, they would have to disappear from the household registration of the Great Jin Kingdom. If Zhao Kai had not been sent before this.
Therefore, once the Great Jin Dynasty loses the "oil and water routes" such as Nanjing Road, Hebei Road, and Jingdong Road, and then becomes a neighbor with a powerful Northern Song Dynasty and a Liao Kingdom who is willing to be a lackey in the Northern Song Dynasty. If you are beaten every now and then, you will be able to live a life.
Therefore, in Wanyan Xibao's view, the only way out for the Great Jin Kingdom was to go westward to the northern line of the Silk Road, cross the grassland, enter the Western Regions, and be the second in the Western Tang Dynasty!
Of course, this road is not easy to walk. Because the Jurchens are not nomadic peoples, they have to pass through Yelu Dashi's territory (in fact, Yelu Dashi has very weak control over there).
But it is not impossible to leave, because they have allies in the Western Regions. As long as they survive more than 3,000 miles of grassland, they can get help from the Western Tang Dynasty.
Now the Western Tang Dynasty is relatively isolated in the Western Regions, and is fighting with the Great Food Kingdom (Seljuks). It has a tense relationship with a group of local snakes in the Western Regions. It is under pressure from the Song Dynasty in the east.
So when Wanyan Xiebao returned to Dajin, Prime Minister Cao told him that he hoped that he could bring more people to the West and everyone would fight together. Anyway, there are many Western countries, and some are weak countries that can be conquered.
However, Wanyan Xiebao's proposal to move westward cannot get the support of Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongbing, Wanyan Zongfu and other bigwigs of the Aguda faction. Because the Great Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens has not yet broken away from the tradition of military democracy. If the country wants to move westward, the Jurchens need to choose a new and powerful leader. Because Wanyan Wuqi bought a bedridden with a stroke, the sick man who was about to lie in the vain and Wanyan Liang, a child, could not bear the responsibility of leading the Jurchens to move westward.
The leader who can bear this responsibility is undoubtedly the eldest grandson of Wanyan's family, or the most elderly person in his generation, the strongest military ability, and had a great relationship with the Western Tang Dynasty. Not long ago, he brought back many Persian horses and ocean horses from the Western Regions to the Jurchen nobles. Not long ago, he brought back many Persian horses and ocean horses from the Western Regions to give them to the Jurchen nobles.
Therefore, once the westward move becomes the national policy of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Xiebao will inevitably be elected as Anbanboqiuli!
Although the proposal of moving westward was rejected by Aguda's faction, Wanyan Xiebao did not give up, but began to promote the benefits of moving westward among a group of Jurchens.
Before the Battle of Baigou River, there were not many Meng'an who supported Wanyan Xiebao. After all, everyone still didn't know that Zhao Kai was powerful again!
But now, the Jurchens gathered in the big tent, Meng'an, after hearing Wanyan Xiebao's words, most of them nodded slightly, and it seemed that they had begun to support the westward migration.
Wanyan Zongbi's face turned blue when he saw this scene. He suspected that Wanyan Xiebao deliberately lost to Baigouhe.
However, he has no evidence in this regard now, and it is impossible to reason that the Xibao Dajin Kingdom is a country that has been robbed all the way? Who in this big tent has never done anything about burning, killing, looting?
However, in recent years, the robbery of the Great Jin Kingdom has indeed declined. Not only can it not rob Zhao Kai's territory, but it also dare not even rob Zhao Huan's territory.
Because Zhao Huan's Southern Song navy was too powerful! If Zhao Huan had not tried hard to suppress it, the Southern Song navy's tube ship would have been to Jingdong, the Great Jin Dynasty, and snatched it from the Liaodong territory.
In this case, the income of the Jurchen nobles and national warriors is not very good. They have basically been relying on their old capital in recent years!
And this time when fighting with the Northern Song Dynasty, it seems that it will be a loss again. If you really lose all your money, how can you live in the future?
Just when Wanyan Zongbi didn't know what to do, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly lifted open, and a wet warm wind blew in. Then he saw a young man who looked a little similar to Wanyan Zongbi strode in. As soon as he came in, he shouted: "Dad, Marshal Du's Mansion has just sent an order. Marshal Du told us to return to Daxing Mansion immediately!"
