And Cheng Wanli was born as Mr. Menguan of Taiwei Tongguan. In later generations, he would be the secretary who would be the leader's ghostwriter, and he was Taiwei Tongguan's confidant.
How could Zhao Liangsi not know the relationship between Cheng Wanli and Tong Taiwei.In his opinion, since Ximenqing is willing to do his best to assist Cheng Wanli in making contributions, he must also be his political backer, Taiwei Tong is a member of the party!
Fortunately, I was cautious and prudent, and did not offend the official Ximen Qing.Zhao Liangsi's back was covered in cold sweat.
At the same time, he really believed Ma Kuo's words, that the official Ximen Qing was a scholar with different interests, and he had no desire for fame.
The basis for Zhao Liangsi to make this judgment is that the official Ximenqing must have a secret connection with Taiwei Tongguan, and he is a guest of the Jurchen nobles.If Ximenqing wants to be an official, I'm afraid Taiwei Tongguan will recommend him to be this envoy, but isn't it more suitable than himself and Ma Kuo?
Zhao Liangsi, who was dedicated to making contributions in the Song Dynasty and gaining fame, didn't understand why Ximen Qing didn't care about the easy-to-get fame, but he already knew that Ximen Qing was a person with great powers. , but also rely on his strength.
For this slightly mysterious official Ximen Qing, we can only befriend him, and we must not offend him.
Thinking of Ma Kuo and Ximen Qing being brothers and sisters, Zhao Liangsi had a high opinion of himself as a deputy envoy, and he also called Ma Kuo brothers and brothers along the way, so that he could be affectionate.
6 Thirty Chapters Ximenqing Joins the Army
Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo traveled across the Hun River and arrived outside the city of Ningzhou in order to meet the Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin as soon as possible.
However, Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, was not in the Hunhe camp at this time.Wanyan Aguda's army has captured Ningzhou City, and he is recruiting surrender and rebels in the city to appease the people of the city.
After Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo went through a lot of twists and turns and followed the Jin army into Ningzhou City, they unexpectedly saw Ximen Qing at the city gate.
Ma Kuo was very surprised when he saw Ximen Qing wearing his helmet and armor, leading Jiao Ting and other guards to post the Anmin Notice at the city gate, and hurriedly rode forward and shouted: "Brother Ximen, why are you here working for the Jin army? Could it be that you have voted for the Jurchen?"
Ximen Qing turned his head and saw that it was Brother Ma Kuo, Zhao Liangsi and others coming, and immediately went forward with a playful smile, and said to Ma Kuo with a smile: "Brother Ma Kuo, you waited so fast! Emperor Aguda is in the city to receive the Liao army. Subdue the general, you and Zhao Zhongfeng can go to the commander-in-chief's mansion in the city to meet Emperor Aguda. Brother Ma Kuo, you must be really puzzled when you see me wearing the armor of the Golden Army? Hey~ I also want to help you carry the letter, When I came to the camp of the Jin Army, I was forced to be recruited by Emperor Aguda as a guest general. You see, I have only experienced two fights today. After all, brother, I was killed by you! This time Back to Song Dynasty, you and Zhao Zhongfeng can't miss my thank you gift and reward!"
Ma Kuo turned pale when he heard the words: "Brother Ximen, it's all for the selfishness of brother's meritorious deeds, which caused you to live and die here, and endure the suffering of this army for no reason. Brother Ximen, brother, and Zhao Zhongfeng, please see Emperor Aguda, for brother you I beg you to exempt you from military service. If Emperor Aguda refuses to allow it, brother, I am a martial arts graduate, and I am willing to serve as my brother's army here!"
Zhao Liangsi was also inexplicably surprised to see Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and others wearing the armor of the Jin army, and followed Ma Kuo and looked at Ximen Qing with concern.After listening to the conversation between Ximenqing and Ma Kuo, he also said: "Brother Ximenqing, don't worry, the Liang Si will go to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin today and argue with him. Brother, you are from my Song Dynasty , when the two countries are amicably negotiating an alliance agreement, how can Da Jin force us to join the Jin army?"
Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo didn't know that there was a reason why Ximen Qing served as a guest general in the Jin army.
Ximen Qing came to Hunhe Camp, and after meeting the Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin, although he escaped the test trap set by Wanyan Aguda for himself with the help of his friendship with Princess Wanyan Wulu of the Kingdom of Jin, it was only in exchange for a temporary peace of mind. .
Wanyan Aguda left Ximen Qing and Wanyan Shenguo behind after the banquet, and told Ximen Qing with all his heart that although his daughter Wanyan Wulu and Ximen Qing were in love with each other, as the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Jin, she was still unable to escape. The fate of marrying a powerful Jurchen tribe.
Wanyan Aguda said to Ximen Qing that he was not only Wanyan Wulu's father, but also the emperor who shouldered the fate of all Jurchens in the Dajin Kingdom, so he naturally had to make political considerations in the marriage of his children.
In order to marry the eldest princess Wanyan Wulu, several powerful tribes among the Jurchen tribes included Tudan Dingge from the Tudan tribe, Wugu Lunyeliye from the Wugu Lun tribe, Pucha Shijia slave from the Pucha tribe, and Tang Kuo from the Tang Kuo tribe. Tarlan and others successively expressed their love for Wanyan Wulu to Wanyan's family.According to the Queen, the guards on the left wing, Jia Gu Xie Nu, are also interested in the princess.
Even though Wanyan Agu beat himself as an emperor, he could not dissuade the tribes who followed him and rebelled against the Liao Dynasty.Before sending troops to the Shangjing Road of the Liao Kingdom this time, he had already agreed with the ministers of various ministries to capture the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. husband.
However, Wanyan Aguda also agreed with the ministers that only those who have made great achievements in the attack on Beijing will be eligible to participate in the martial arts competition.Therefore, brothers Tudan Ding, Wugu Lunyeliye, Pucha Shijianu, Tang Kuo Talan and other tribal aristocrats all led their troops to participate in the crusade against Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.
Guan Jiagu Xie Nu, the left-wing guard of the emperor Wanyan Aguda, also participated in the battle with the army. He first made meritorious service when attacking Taizhou City, and was replaced by Wanyan Aguda and returned to Huining City to rest.
Therefore, if Ximenqing insists on marrying Wanyan Wulu, he must join the Western Expedition Army and make enough military exploits in the battle against Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, to be eligible to compete with the children of various nobles in the martial arts arena.
Ximen Qing listened to Wanyan Aguda's long talk, what else could he do?I can only bite the bullet and join the Golden Army, and participate in the attack on the Shangjing Road!
At this time, when the Song and Jin countries were negotiating an alliance, it was impossible for Ximen Qing to sneak back to Taizhou City and elope with Wanyan Wulu.
Although with Wanyan Wulu's temperament and Ximen Qing's charm, it is not difficult to lure Wanyan Wulu to follow him back to the Song Dynasty, but it will inevitably lead to conflicts between the Jin and Song Dynasties.
Not to mention whether Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo will be beheaded, or whether the alliance at sea will be in vain, as long as a document from the Kingdom of Jin is handed over to the bird emperor Song Huizong in Bianliang City in Tokyo, the bird emperor will definitely go to war The land came to Beijing East and West Road to arrest Ximenqing, in order to please the Jurchens.
Ximen Qing still wants to grow up for a few years and slowly accumulate strength, so he is unwilling to raise the flag to rebel in advance because of the Wanyan Wulu incident.After thinking about it, I can only hang out in the Jin army, waiting for the opportunity to pick up the leaks and grab the military exploits.
Regarding the battle between Jin and Liao, Ximen Qing remembered that the Jin army won a big victory in history, so it wouldn't be too dangerous to be in the victor's camp!The bigger test is how to seize the opportunity to grab the victory.
In fact, Wanyan Aguda's possible future father-in-law's arrangement for Ximen Qing was not bad. He kept Wanyan Shenguo just to make Ximen Qing a guest general in Wanyan Shenguo's army.
Wanyan Shenguo is the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda and the older brother of Wanyan Wulu.He has a very good relationship with his younger sister Wanyan Wulu, and he must also take care of Ximen Qingyi.What could Ximen Qing be dissatisfied with the considerate arrangement of Emperor Wanyan Aguda?
The Jin Army is now implementing the Meng'an Mouke system.The ministers of the various tribes of the Jurchens were usually called Bo Jin, and when they were fighting, they were called Meng'an and Mouk, and they were called by the number of troops.Meng'an is roughly equivalent to the commander of a thousand, and the conqueror is also the commander of a centurion.
Meng'an and Mouk were military leaders established when the Jurchens were in the late primitive society due to the needs of plundering and hunting, and then gradually developed into a fixed military organization, which is an organization characterized by regions.
As a military organization, Meng'an Mouk, above Meng'an is the military commander, above the military commander there are ten thousand households, and above all ten thousand households there is the Dutong.And there is a pu chariot in Mouk, which means fifty households in Jurchen language.
One year before the founding of the Kingdom of Jin, in order to establish a regular army to fight against the Liao army, Wanyan Aguda began to customize the Meng'an Mouke organization with an indefinite number of ministries. It was stipulated that three hundred households were the Mouke, and ten Moukes were the Meng'an .
Wanyan Shenguo was marching fiercely in the army, and after Ximen Qing came to him, he also got a job as a conspirator.
Chapter 631 Surrender and Rebel
As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials. Ximen Qing mixed in Wanyan Shenguo's army, and was taken care of by Wanyan Shenguo, who was deeply affectionate with Wanyan Wulu brothers and sisters.
Although Xiao Yixue, the commander of the Northeast Road of the Liao Kingdom, received reinforcements from the Shiwei Department of the black car, he was still defeated by the Jin army led by Wanyan Aguda. Unable to hold on, he fought out under the protection of the Shiwei cavalry Ningzhou City, across the Rabbit Mountain to escape to the west.
People of various ethnic groups such as Khitan, Xi, Han, and Bohai people lived in Liao State, so Xiao Yixue's Liao army also had fighters from various ethnic groups.After Xiao Yixue was defeated and fled, the Liao army under his command also fell apart and fled separately.
Ximenqing's rivals in love, brother Tudan Ding, Wugu Lunyeliye, Pucha Shijianu and Tang Kuo Talan, all led their troops to pursue Xiao Yixue fiercely, and wanted to capture the Liao army commander and offer it to Aguda The emperor stepped forward, winning Wanyan Aguda's favor.
Ximen Qing didn't fight them desperately.Ximenqing, who knows some history, remembers that Xiao Yixue, a diehard loyalist of Emperor Tianzuo, was an unbeatable Xiaoqiang when he faced the Jin army, and he was defeated several times without incident, until he met another even more powerful Xiaoqiang. Yelu Dashi was killed by Yelu Dashi in an internal power dispute.
Xiao Yixue, a hero of the Liao Kingdom who possesses top-notch escape skills, can be captured by just a few brothers, Dan Ding?
Ximenqing did not go after Xiao Yixue's main force, but took advantage of his identity as a Han Chinese, and took two of his subordinates, Pu Nian Jiao Ting and Qiao Yun, to recruit and rebel around Ningzhou City, collecting many people who had been dispersed. The Liao Han army and the Han people who fled and hid.
The number of Han soldiers that Ximenqing deceived with his three-inch tongue far exceeded the number of beheaded by the tribal army led by Tu Dan Ding and the others.In the final evaluation of the military exploits, Ximen Qing was among the best among these people for his "capture of life".
Of course, Ximen Qing's ability to successfully recruit and accept the rebellion is also roughly inseparable from Wanyan Aguda's great talent.
When Wanyan Aguda led the army to attack the Liao Kingdom, he did not allow the Jin army to burn, kill and loot everywhere as in later film and television works, but ordered the soldiers not to harass the civilians.
From Wanyan Aguda's point of view, every time the Jin army captured a land of the Liao Kingdom, the people there became the people of the Dajin Kingdom.For one's own people, of course, one has to do one's best to protect them, so how can they plunder?
In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, every time they capture a place, the Jin army will exempt the local people from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people can recuperate.
Wanyan Aguda's ability to do this is related to the frugal life of the Jurchens and their lack of extravagance.
When the Kingdom of Jin was first established, the Jurchens had not yet been infected with the extravagant habits of the rulers of the Liao and Song Dynasties.Wanyan Aguda, the emperor, lived in a wooden house with slab walls, and ate ordinary beans, rice, cattle and sheep.
Therefore, the ruling class of the entire Dajin Kingdom needed very little money, food and materials, and the politics were clear. Naturally, they didn't need to think hard about exploiting the people, so they could implement the national policy of light corvee and low tax in the occupied land.
Compared with the exorbitant taxes and heavy exploitation of the Liao Kingdom, the people obviously prefer to live in the new Dajin Kingdom.
Because of this, whenever the Jin army occupied a place in the Liao Kingdom, the people of the Liao Kingdom had the opportunity to compare the two.
For the ordinary people who live on the land, no matter whether you are a Khitan, Jurchen or Song Dynasty, as long as you don’t steal some food from the common people so that the common people can feed their families, you are a good ruler.
The hearts of the people aspired, and the people were willing to be under the rule of the Dajin Kingdom. In the repeated see-saw between the Jurchens and the Khitans, pieces of land in the Liao Kingdom were gradually eroded by the Dajin Kingdom.
Through participating in the First Battle of Ningzhou City, Ximenqing can be regarded as seeing Wanyan Aguda's two-pronged military and political means.
Taking advantage of Wanyan Aguda's good governance, Ximen Qing led Jiao Ting, Qiao Yun and others to use propaganda methods like ducks in water to appease the people and recruit the stragglers who are hiding.
