Views:

The Jurchen ethnic group is a minority nationality with a long history in China. They originally lived in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the Liao and Song people called them "Nvzhi" or "Jurchen", including the various tribes in the Heilongjiang River Basin and the Songhua River Basin that belonged to the same ethnic group, and they spoke roughly the same language.

The Jurchen tribe living in the Liaoyang area in the south gradually accepted the Liao culture and was incorporated into the household registration of the Liao Dynasty and was called "Mature Nvzhen". The Jurchen tribes north of the Songhua River and east of the Ningjiang River maintain their own custom system and are called "Sheng Jurchen". Sheng Jurchen live scattered among mountains and rivers, engaged in agriculture and hunting, and built houses with planks and birch bark.

At that time, the birth of a daughter was really in the patriarchal clan tribe period. They paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty and exchanged goods with the Liao people for horses and fur.

Around the time of Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen Wanyan Tribe, which was active in the Hushui area of Anchu, became stronger. Wanyan Tribe united with Baishan Tribe, Yehai Tribe, Tongmen Tribe, Yelan Tribe, Tugulun Tribe, and Pu Nie (Punu). Li), Tieli, Yueli Du, Olihe, and Ji Ali formed a tribal alliance.

Subsequently, the Hanminshui Pucha Department, the Taishentai Water Retaining Wanyan Department, the Tongmenshui Wendihen Department, and the Shenyinshui Wanyan Department joined the alliance one after another. The Wanyan Minister Wu Guran was the leader of the alliance and accepted the Liao Dynasty. Granted the title of Jidu Envoy, and set up a "State Minister" to manage the affairs of the alliance, and Yada from the Wanyan Department was appointed.

In the Liao Dynasty, Wu Gu died, his son Ji Libo succeeded to the throne, and his younger brother Lai Shu was the prime minister of the country, exempted from the post of Prime Minister of Yada. Yada Zihuan, Sanda and others rose up to resist, and fierce battles began between the tribe and nobles. Qui Lai Shu was defeated by Huan Zhe and Sanda Army. Ji Libo and his clan brother defeated the Huan Zong army without fail. Huanzheng and Sanda led their troops to surrender. Wu Chun, the minister of Wendu, once resisted with Huanzheng and other allied forces, but was also defeated by Wanyan Tribe Huandu. Ji Libo and his younger brother Yingge defeated the Heshi Liebu, which was piercing the muddy water, and consolidated the tribal alliance. In the eighth year of Da'an of the Liao Dynasty, Ji Libo died of illness. Qui Lai Shu succeeded as the leader of the alliance. He ordered Wu Yashu, the eldest son of Libo, and A Guda, the second son, to quell Heshi Lie's tribe. The Liao Dynasty gave Wanyanmin (Aguda) the title of "Xiangwen". In the ten years of Da'an, Lai Shu died, Yingge succeeded as the leader of the League, and his brother Sa became the minister of the country. At this time, the Judan tribe of the Jurchen tribe formed another alliance of fourteen tribes, the Wugulun tribe formed another fourteen tribe alliances, and the Pucha tribe formed another alliance of seven tribes. The three alliances jointly attacked the twelve alliances headed by Wanyan, and launched a fierce battle. Yingge, Sagai, and Wanyanmin (Aguda) defeated the three alliances to form a unified tribal alliance, and announced that each ministry would not form another alliance called "Du Minister" (Alliance Chief). After the Liao Dynasty reigned for three years, Yingge died and Wu Yashu succeeded. In the third year of Tianqing, Wuya died, and his younger brother Wanyanmin (Aguda) succeeded him as the leader of the league, saying that "dubo is extremely strong." In June of the following year, Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi gave Wanyanmin the official title of Jiedu.

After the Jurchen tribe formed a unified tribal alliance, Wanyan Min (A Gu Da) began to looting and expanding outward. In September, Wanyanmin gathered 800 soldiers from various tribes to attack Ningjiang Prefecture under the rule of the Liao Dynasty. In October, it broke Ningjiangzhou City. The Liao Dynasty sent soldiers of all ethnic groups to fight back. In November, the two armies fought at Chuhedian. Wanyanmin (Aguda) led 3,700 soldiers to the battle and won a great victory. Soldiers of all ethnic groups in the Liao Army were relegated to the Jurchen Army, and the Jurchen Army grew to 10,000.

Later, Wan Yan Min (A Gu Da) took advantage of the victory to capture Liao Binzhou and Xianzhou. At this time, the Jurchen clan society collapsed, and the phenomenon of becoming slaves due to crime or debt or prisoners of war appeared, forming two opposing classes of slave owners and slaves. Wanyanmin (Aguda) marched victoriously, and the Jurchen slave-owner nobles captured a large number of slaves in the war. With the rapid expansion of the occupied territories, it is necessary to strengthen the rule of the conquered people of all ethnic groups. Wan Yan Min (A Gu Da)'s younger brother Wan Yan Sheng (Wu Qi Mai), and the prime minister of the country Wan Yan Sagai and others support Wan Yan Min (A Gu Da). )The establishment of national. On New Year’s Day of the first month of the summer calendar in 1115, Wanyan Min (Aguda) was called Emperor (Jin Taizu) according to the imitation of the Han system. Li reign title "Receive the country", formally established the Jin Dynasty of slavery.

Jin Taizu abolished the state system and set up a proficient version of the Vigorous System to assist the state affairs, which was filled by Wanyan Sheng, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Cibuyi, and Wanyan Gao (Xiaye). The Jurchen army is still under the command of Meng'an and Mouke, and the incorporated Liaodong descending army is based on the Liao system and has a captain or commander. He also ordered Yan Xiyin to create Jurchen characters imitating Liao and Chinese characters. Tianfu three years, promulgated and used.

After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, it continued to attack the Liao Dynasty. In September of the first year of receiving the country, Huanglong Mansion, an important military stronghold, was captured. Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty led hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade and fled under the attack of Jin Taizu Wanyanmin (A Gu Da). The Jin Dynasty marched on victory and soon occupied all the prefectures and counties east of Liaoyang in the Liao Dynasty. In 1116, the Jin army captured the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. Change the following year to the first year of Tianfu. After that, he fought against Liaoning for years and continued to win.

In April of the fourth year of Tianfu, the Kingdom of Jin captured Liao's Shangjing Linhuang Mansion. In the fifth year of Tianfu, King Taizu ordered Wanyan Gao, Wanyanyu, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zonggan to lead an army to attack Liao. In the sixth year of Tianfu, he captured Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Liaoning and Datong Mansion in Xijing. Emperor Zuo of Liao Tian escaped into Jiashan. In December, Jin Taizu led an army to capture the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, Liaoning, and sent troops to pursue Emperor Liao Tianzuo. In April of the seventh year, the leading soldiers returned to Beijing. In August, he died on the way.

After the death of King Taizu, his younger brother Wanyan Sheng (Jin Taizong), who knew the version of Bo Ji Lie, came to the throne, united with Xixia and pursued Emperor Zuo of Liao Tian. In February of the third year of Tianhui, the Emperor Tianzuo was captured. Yelüdashi, the Liao royal family, moved westward, and later established Xiliao in Central Asia.

In October of the third year of the Tianhui, King Taizong Wanyansheng issued an edict, with Wanyan Gao as the capital marshal, Wanyan Zonghan as the left deputy marshal, and Wanyan Zongwang as the right deputy marshal, attacking the Northern Song Dynasty in two ways. Jin Bing broke through Yanjing and occupied Taiyuan. In November of the fourth year of Tianhui, the two armies met in Kaifeng, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. In the fifth year of the Tianhui, the Golden Army captured the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Hui and Qin Emperors and returned to the north.

This is the history of Jin Guo's fortune. Now Jin Guo, take it seriously. It is only natural to come up with a million people. But Zhao Zhen has already understood the Kingdom of Jin in depth. It is true that this is a powerful tribal country, but that's all.

To fall behind is to fall behind, and to be barbaric is barbaric. Although the Jurchens are powerful, they don't really understand the vastness and profoundness of Chinese culture. They don't know about creation, but they only know about looting. After the narrow-minded Jurchens were eroded by the glory and wealth of the Han people, the powerful Jurchens became weak Jurchens. Being destroyed by Mongolia means that it is weak. In Zhao Zhen's eyes, this is a group of indigenous people who are brave when holding barbarism, and who are rude and capable of fighting. It is a group of barbarians who only know about plundering but not how to build a powerful empire.

This is the righteousness that Zhao Zhen didn't ascend the throne to become the emperor, and has no national artifact. Compared with the millions of troops controlled by Zhao Gou in the south and the millions of heroes of the Kingdom of Jin. The forces in his hand are relatively insufficient, if the hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhao Zhen's hands have been fully trained according to his standards. Then Zhao Zhen could destroy the Kingdom of Jin in one fell swoop!

"Soldier training alone is not enough. You need to enter actual combat and bloody combat to become a real elite. Therefore, your left army must take the initiative and fight more with the golden soldiers who harass the grain. Then we can train the troops. I will. Let the right army also be dispatched and honed on the battlefield. Although the deputy commander of the right army, Ma Zheng, is old, he is a veteran of the Northwest Army and has experience. Liang Xing, who is experienced in fighting with the Jin army, will assist him, and the right army is the same no problem."

Zhao Zhen didn't talk about Yue Fei's army, because he knew that Yue Fei didn't need him to command, he only needed to make a strategic plan for Yue Fei. Give a strategic plan and give Yue Fei a room for development. Yue Fei could perfectly execute Zhao Zhen's strategy by himself, defeating the Golden Army again and again.

Zhao Zhen took Wang Shan and Zhang Yong, who were senior and powerful, to Yue Fei's account. For the senior Wang Shan and Zhang Yong, he finally allocated the hundreds of thousands of people in their hands to various villages and city defenses as second-line garrisons or militias to farm. But apart from being able to hold them down, these two guys are really hard to manage.

Although Yue Fei was not qualified, but if he gave him the qualifications, he would naturally have the ability to hold the two of them. At first, the two felt that Yue Fei, the young general who was countless times smaller than his own in the original Tokyo left-behind division, had become a marshal, and he directly commanded himself, somewhat aggrieved.

However, Yue Fei led the troops to fight against the gold to win many battles, and used their loose military discipline to clean up their trusted generals several times, suppressing their arrogance. Therefore, the two of them are now obedient to Yue Fei's clothes.

However, the two of them are not so close to Yue Fei in their hearts. Of course, this is also Zhao Zhen's design. Yue Fei is perfect, but he is really terrible. Maybe he is loyal to serve the country and loves the nation and the country. But it is undeniable that this patriotic star also has its shortcomings. The disadvantage is that he is too perfect, so that the military's mind is tied to him. If there is something wrong with Yue Fei, he will be unlucky.

Therefore, two unconvinced big players must be placed in the army directly under Yue Fei's jurisdiction, and Zhang Xian was also promoted by himself. And this time, Zhao Zhen didn't let Zhang Xian marry Yue Fei's maid Yin Ping, but personally arranged for him to marry him from a family member of a farmer's house in Hedong.

Therefore, Zhang Xian is now grateful to Zhao Zhen, and his loyalty to himself is higher than that of Yue Fei. In addition, Zhao Zhen is brave enough to be present and has a reputation as invincible in the world. As long as you don't do things that make people feel chilling, your military spirit will always be on you.

Regarding the training, Zhao Songyong knew what Zhao Zhen meant, so he nodded, and then said: "By the way, Song army generals Li Gui, Wang Gui, Ding Jin and Han Shunfu each led a hundred elite to our army. Now in The commander-in-chief’s staying as the commander of the new army training, does it give some of their troops a new army?"

Zhao Zhen paused slightly and said, "Wang Gui is here too? This person has some abilities and promoted him to control. The others are commanding level one level. So let's formally incorporate them into the old battalion and start training the new army. After the army is expanded, we will deploy them to expand the army."

Hearing that Zhao Zhen had no plans to expand his troops, he almost didn't scream. He asked anxiously: "You didn't mean that the main force of the Golden Soldiers will go north in the spring and summer of next year. Your Highness, just take our four. Only 190,000 passers-by and millions of golden soldiers are fighting?"

"No, 190,000 people are just attacking guerrillas. We rely on two to three million organized militias, civil defense teams, second-tier city defensive forces, villagers, Zhaiding, Zhuangding, and Baoding to guard our homes. This It's not difficult at all, as long as they work hard for their homes, family and property. It is our regular army that is really fighting ahead! Haven't you heard of it? The best defense is offense." Zhao Zhen said.

Although Zhao Zhen said this, Zhao Songyong still said uneasy: "We only have how many soldiers, even if the organized civilian army and militia can attract the main force of the Jin army, not to mention whether they will be able to hold it. , How can we deal with the powerful Golden Army with the strength of our four troops?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and said, "This is my business. You can just listen to my orders when the time comes. Frankly speaking, maybe as you think, I will slowly develop my troops and make peace with Jinbing. After a few years, we will be able to form more elite troops. At that time, with three to five million elite troops, it will be better to start a war with the Golden Army..."

Zhao Songyong said: "Isn't that the case?" Zhao Zhen said: "But in a few years, it will consume my precious time for several years. The Golden Army is strong, although it temporarily truce with us, the main force will go south to Jianghuai. But for me, the Golden Army will be required. My mother, Guifei Liu, brought it here, but Jin Jun refused to agree. Why didn't Jin Jun agree? I still feel that I have not beaten them hard enough! I think we need a few years to make peace with them.

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen clenched his fist and said: "Now the Jinjun is arrogant, but he is afraid of being stunned, and afraid of death. Think about it, after a few years, I will lose a few years of attacking and killing. The time spent in the battle is missing the time to greet my father and the emperor, as well as a bunch of brothers and sisters and my mother. Why should I spend such a golden few years? No! I have to surprise Jin Jun, The army is desperate."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "At this time, the main force of the Jin army is going south, temporarily searching the mountains and seas to the south to search for my escaping brother Zhao Gou. But you can rest assured that my brother nine has a hidden illness, but Absolutely healthy and lively. It's so slippery to run. Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) and Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) can't catch him."

Zhao Zhen said that at this time, he wondered if the average eunuch would live longer. Zhao Gou couldn't give birth, but he was known for a long life. He lived a full eighty-one years old in this age. Is it because he is an eunuch that he has a long life!

Zhao Zhen thought about it, smiled slightly, and continued: "I only need to use these few months to expand the territory. Now after the autumn harvest, pumpkins, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are all relatively high-yielding, and the people can't be hungry. In taxation, we get military rations. This also avoids the trouble of the people selling their own food, reducing the intermediate corruption and corruption, and the people themselves have enough food to live. With the basic food and grass, I will take the initiative to send troops, and the golden army can rob us , We can grab the Jinjun..."

Having said that, Zhao Songyong immediately understood Zhao Zhen's calculations. In fact, Xin Wangjun is still a little short of food, after all, tens of millions of people are not so easy to support. Even if we open up wasteland to grow high-yield grain, it is impossible to solve the grain and grass problem in just one year. It will take at least two years.

But Zhao Zhen obviously didn't rely solely on the grain he produced. He wanted to snatch the golden army's grain, and fight to feed the war, and he was the enemy of the grain. Of course, in the past, Zhao Zhen's rations depended on robbing the golden army to survive. Of course, the Golden Army robbed the people of food, and most of the livestock were donated by the nomadic tribes who took refuge in the Golden Army.

It is now the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the grain in the fields has been harvested, and a large amount of grain has been accumulated in the various treasury of the Jin Army. Zhao Zhen sent troops to attack the various cities of the Golden Army, which would allow him to easily obtain food. However, what he didn't understand was why Zhao Zhen believed that he could rely on 190,000 people to defeat a million golden soldiers? When the Jianghuai Golden Soldiers retreat, together with the reinforcements sent by the Huanglong Mansion, he estimated that by then the strength of the Golden Army's encirclement and suppression of his own army will definitely exceed the strength of the previous encirclement and suppression.

The Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan), Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) and Wanyan Chang (lazy) three-way gold soldiers faced by the Jianghuai Song Army were only three to four hundred thousand troops, and they were all defeated. Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) only had one hundred thousand troops going south, and he was still as powerful as a bamboo. Will they be able to withstand the Golden Soldiers

He didn't know, but Zhao Zhen knew that waiting for Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu)'s 100,000 troops to return from fighting all the way south, it is estimated that there will be less than half of them. Although there was no resistance from Yue Fei, Zhao Zhen believed that Han Shizhong, Zhang Junzhi and his like were still capable of causing Jin Bing to suffer heavy losses. Especially Han Shizhong, who is not inferior to Yue Fei in terms of record, will definitely show off.

"Okay, I have said what I should say. Chitose, as long as you have a good heart, we can only listen to your orders. I know that you are invincible, and you must be right to listen to you."

Zhao Songyong looked at Zhao Zhen and said with a smile: "The princess and my sister both let me take the talk. They want you to come back and take command. In fact, letting Wang Jin come here is meant to command instead of you. Worry about your safety!"

Zhao Zhen gave a gentle smile and said with a smile: "They are worried about me? What can I worry about? The whole world, as long as I want, I can go anywhere in the world, who can stop me? Even if it is 100,000 gold Jun, I can kill him three to five or seven times, do you think anything will happen to me?"

Although this is crazy, Zhao Songyong takes it for granted. He deeply knew Zhao Zhen's greatness. Many fierce generals can claim to be unstoppable. But often such generals are in and out of the enemy under certain conditions. If there is really such a powerful thing, why can Zhao Zilong, who can enter and exit Cao Cao's army seven times, still be defeated? Wu Sheng Guan Yuniu, all captured!

But Zhao Zhen is different, Zhao Zhen is too powerful. He can really smash the brave Golden Army camp, especially when he takes out the pair, what tungsten steel or manganese steel is added, and what kind of "dip the fire?" After that, the Guanghua Double Sword created is invincible.

Zhao Zhen's skills acquired on the basis of the next 900 years, such as internal boxing, external boxing, fighting skills, body structure, and boxing techniques of various countries, have gone through the most severe training in the army. It is purely a super killing machine. In that era, in the future world, not to mention the world's first person in fighting technology, it is almost the same.
