Chapter 843: Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water



After Wanyan Chang and his relatives fled to Dazhong, Wang Shiyong represented the court and Li Yan to have a deep conversation with Wanyan Chang.

Soon after, Wanyan Chang and his relatives all began to change their reputation in China, raising their hair and wearing mid-dressing clothes.

Not long after, the Minister of Revenue Jiang Jing came forward to disperse the Wanyan Chang clan, and then moved them to dozens of places including Yanyun Prefectures, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, etc., while Wanyan Chang himself and his immediate relatives stayed in Yanjing City.

After a while, Wanyan Chang and his two sons Wanyan Odai and Wanyan Wudabu entered the Grassland Strategy Department and became Yelu Dashi's subordinates, helping Yelu Dashi deal with the grassland kingdom and tribe together.

The Wanyan Chang clan ran away from Dazhong, but one of the nobles of Dajin began to escape from Dajin. After the Wanyan Chang clan escaped from Dajin, Wanyan Zonggan and Jin Wushu carried out a bloody cleanup of their tribes that did not surrender to their tribes, which led to many tribes escaping from Dajin.

Some of these tribes who left came to Dazhong, some went to Datauer tribes, Mongolian tribes, Kelie tribes, Naiman tribes, Wanggu tribes and other major tribes, and some simply returned to the grassland like their ancestors to live a nomadic life.

As a result, the national strength of Dajin was greatly regressed.

Wanyan Zonggan and Jin Wushu also knew that blindly waving the butcher knife to their own people would not be recognized by the Jin people. People on the grassland have always only recognized the strong, only recognized the strong people who can lead them to win battles, and take them to rob spoils and population.

Therefore, after almost cleaning up the rebellious forces that should be cleaned, Wanyan Zonggan and Jin Wushu began to plan a war, trying to use war to increase their prestige and maintain their rule.

After screening and selecting, Wanyan Zonggan and Jin Wushu set their targets to the Tatar team, which they had the most recently jumped.

The reason why Wanyan Zonggan and Jin Wushu chose the Tatar tribe as the target of the war is, first of all, because the Tatar tribe has been too much recently. During this period, the Tatar tribe robbed dozens of Dajin counties and tribes, and plundered a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and population from Dajin. Secondly, no one knows that behind the Tatar tribe is the Dazhong Empire. Therefore, after cleaning up the Tatar tribe, you can also give Dazhong some warnings to Dazhong: The grassland belongs to our Dajin, go back to your Central Plains!

Although the Jin Dynasty has been in the country for more than 20 years, it still has no fixed army as before. Before the war begins, it has to accumulate people from various tribes. The military and civilians are united. The people will be soldiers when they go out, and the people will be in the people when they enter. Its organization is based on the Jurchen word, Meng'an Mouke. Mouke is equivalent to the centurion in the Han army, and Meng'an is equivalent to the thousand-man commander in the Han army. The Jin court dispatched troops, which is actually a number of Meng'an, and then Meng'an will lead ten Mukes each, and each Muke will pick out a hundred adult men from their tribes to go out to fight.

When he was preparing to conquer the Tatar tribe, Jin Wushu had to send troops with me according to the old methods before.

But through this accumulation, Jin Wushu discovered a serious problem. From the bottom to the bottom, the Jin Kingdom was unwilling to go to war.

It would be fine if those Bohai people, Khitan people, Xi people, and Han people were unwilling to send troops, but even the Jurchens, who were brave, happy to fight and endure hunger and hardship, were afraid of difficulties and unwilling to send troops.

How unwilling are they?

There was actually a Qianhu who pretended to die in order not to send troops. It was the same as Wanyan Xie, also called Xiye. When Xiye Qianhu heard that he wanted to transfer him to the battle, he wrapped his own clothes and then put the wood into the coffin and buried it, and then hung his belt on the tombstone. Xiye's wives and children knelt there and cried bitterly. When the court came to dispatch troops, he asked Xiye Qianhu to lead troops to attack the Tataer tribe. Xiye Qianhu's family said that they could not go, Xiye Qianhu was already dead, you see, they had already had funerals. After that, Xiye Qianhu hid his identity, and I would not do the Qianhu anymore, and I would never go to the errands of death again.

From this we can see how afraid of war the Jin people are now, it can also be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Jin army at this time was much worse than before.

Faced with this situation, Jin Wushu was very sad. He didn't understand why the Jin army, which had been invincible in the past twenty years, had become like this? Or was the end of the Great Jin Kingdom coming?

To suppress negative emotions, Jin Wushu sacked a lot of effort to gather a hundred thousand troops, and then took the 100,000 troops to conquer the Tatar tribe...

...

Xixia.

In recent years, Dazhong has been pressing step by step, not only forcibly seizing the Longyou region and cutting off the largest wealth of Xixia, but also changing the trade prices between the two countries, making Xixia no longer able to obtain huge trade returns from international trade as before, which has led to the already poor Xixia being even more difficult.

But even so, Li Ganshun still suppressed the Xixia people who were already poor and looked down on them and did not allow them to rob the Dazhong Li Ganshun clearly knew that as long as Xixia dared to take action, it would be the end of Xixia.

Of course, Li Ganshun was not blindly patient. He also tried hard to unify the kingdoms and tribes on the grassland and jointly resist the invasion of the grassland.

Unfortunately, the various forces on the grassland are either short-sighted or just by hand, or blinded by hatred and lose their minds, or they just care about themselves and ignore the lives and deaths of other grassland people, or... In short, in the matter of unity, only Li Ganshun is actively operating from the beginning to the end.

actually

In addition to the above, there are three more important reasons why Li Ganshun was unable to promote this grassland alliance.

The first reason is that a great hero Wanyan Agu who can be respected and willingly followed has never been born on the grassland. He died too early, and Temujin has not been born yet and has not been able to compete for dominance with Li Yan.

This makes the various kingdoms and tribes on the grassland lack the basis for unity.

The second reason is that while Li Ganshun actively contacted the various kingdoms and tribes on the grassland, Dazhong was also constantly disintegrating the alliance between various forces on the grassland, and even directly came forward to recruit some tribes on the grassland.

In this contest, Li Ganshun could only warn all parties, at most he could draw a big pie for all parties, while Li Yan could bring out real benefits and even directly send troops to intervene.

Therefore, Li Ganshun lost in this contest.

The third and most important one is the general trend. Dazhong now has all the conditions to unify the grassland. This is not something that Li Ganshun can do as a mantis armed chariot just by struggling.

The situation is getting worse and worse. The only hope is that the various kingdoms and tribes on the grassland unite to compete with the Dazhong Division. They are now becoming a bubble, turning into a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Li Ganshun, who has been struggling to support the Xixia regime for decades. Li Ganshun, who is almost sixty years old, finally fell ill. The broken ship leaking everywhere in Xixia is about to lose Li Ganshun, an experienced old captain...
