Chapter 46 I am a great scholar, let the barbarians fight for me!
"What does reverse entry mean?" Murong Bo asked.
"Entering the Pass is the path our ancestors took. They rose from Liaodong and then went south. This is called entering the Pass. The core of entering the Pass is that although I am a barbarian, after entering the Pass, there will be great scholars debating for me." Murong Fu said proudly, "Entering the Pass in the opposite direction means returning from the south of the Yangtze River to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, back to the place where our ancestors made their fortune. The core of entering the Pass in the opposite direction is that I am a great scholar and I want to make the barbarians fight for me!"
"Barbarians outside the Great Wall? What barbarians are there outside the Great Wall?" Murong Bo frowned.
He only knew that there were the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, the Western Xia Dynasty, the Dali Dynasty, the Tubo Dynasty, and the Jiaozhi Dynasty.
To be honest, Murong Bo is a typical Jiangnan Han.
He knew the Song Dynasty best and knew little about the Liao Dynasty, let alone the more distant barbarians.
Even Murong Bo didn't know much about Western Xia, otherwise he would have discovered the relationship between his family and the Western Xia royal family and would have contacted them long ago.
After all, the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty were really stupid in their fight.
During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, five armies attacked Xia and occupied a lot of Western Xia's land. Fortunately, Sima Guang later relied on the Empress Dowager Gao's revival and won people over with his virtue, returning the territory to Western Xia, making an indelible contribution to promoting peace between the two countries.
"Menggu, Jurchen!" Murong Fu said, "Menggu is far away, and it will take some time for it to rise, but the Jurchens were the remnants of the former Bohai Kingdom, and later they forged iron for the Liao Kingdom, so their smelting technology is quite advanced."
"The Jurchens are divided into the raw Jurchens and the cooked Jurchens. The cooked Jurchens, like the Han people in Liao territory, can be considered as the people of Liao. The raw Jurchens, on the other hand, are the so-called barbarians."
"Every time the Jurchen tribes paid tribute to the Liao Kingdom, there were tens of thousands of horses, which shows that they had a large number of high-quality war horses, which were the foundation of cavalry. The Jurchen tribes were able to smelt armor, which was the prototype of heavy armored cavalry. The Jurchen tribes were nomadic peoples who were fishing and hunting. They had very strong organizational capabilities and very strong combat capabilities."
"Their children learn archery and horse riding since they were young. The place they live in is very cold and harsh. Those who survive to adulthood are all excellent warriors. If we can organize them, they will be a fierce army!"
Menggu was the Mengwu in the past, and was later called Mongolia.
The fighting power of the Menggu was actually not weak. After Wanyan Aguda's death, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao won over many Menggu people to launch a strategic counterattack, but unfortunately he was still no match for the Jurchens.
The Jurchens outside the Great Wall were exactly the source of troops that Murong Fu valued.
This nomadic fishing and hunting people were naturally brave and fearless warriors, at least before industrialization.
Therefore, even when firearms became popular in the Qing Dynasty, the Solon tribe outside the Great Wall was still an important source of combat power for the Qing army.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Solon people, the Qing Dynasty deliberately suppressed them into a state of fishing, hunting and nomadism, and then transferred them to the Qing army for consumption.
The various wars fought by Emperor Qianlong were all dependent on the contribution of the Solon soldiers, but due to excessive consumption, this nation was almost extinct.
The Shengjurchens were similar to the Solon tribe, but they were not as good as the Liao and Song dynasties, so they were considered to have successfully entered the pass.
In the political blueprint constructed by Murong Fu, the Jurchens were his Solon soldiers.
He is not afraid of the rise of the Jurchens. This is Tianlong, a world of martial arts.
After all, the Jurchens had a small number of people. When Wanyan Aguda started his rebellion, he had only 2,500 people. His strategy against the Liao was to chase after Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Yanxi.
Looking back on the life of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda, it can be summarized as: When Yelu Yanxi ran away, I, Wanyan Aguda, chased him. When he ran, I chased him, but he was too good at running. I never caught up with him in my life, but I unexpectedly defeated the Liao Kingdom.
Yelu Yanxi, a wilderness survival expert, is even better than Emperor Taizong of Song in terms of escape skills.
Emperor Taizong of Song was just drifting his donkey cart, but Yelu Yanshi was turning like the wind, and he had to survive in the wilderness, eating wild animals, drinking ice and snow, and outlasted Wanyan Aguda.
However, Murong Fu is not Emperor Tianzuo. If Wanyan Aguda dares to stab him in the back, he will let these barbarians see whether the Six Meridians Divine Sword is sharp.
In the time and space of Tian Long, Wanyan Aguda was already a young man, and later became good brothers with Xiao Feng. In the process of rescuing Xiao Feng, he demonstrated the powerful fighting power of the Jurchen tribe, which made the heroes of the Central Plains change color.
Although the Crown Prince's uncle, Yelu Chongyuan, had not yet rebelled, he had been planning for a long time and might rebel at any time.
Yelu Hongji was actually as unreliable as his grandson Yelu Yanxi. He also loved hunting, killed his queen and son, and was incompetent and tyrannical.
The Liao Kingdom, seemingly powerful, was actually vulnerable as long as it took advantage of its unstable situation both internally and externally. Murong Fu's strategy to restore his country was not just to become an emperor. He was as ambitious as a tiger and had already formulated a plan to destroy the Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Western Xia, Tubo, Dali, Jiaozhi, and unify the world.
"Isn't that similar to what our ancestors did?" Murong Bo was a smart man. Murong Fu said all the key points. He immediately heard the great potential of the Jurchen tribe.
They could offer thousands of war horses as tribute, and they could smelt iron, fish, hunt and live a nomadic life.
When these three keywords come together, there is something extraordinary.
This is the prototype of a new political regime that can be established at any time!
Murong Fu said: "Since ancient times, barbarians were born in bitter and cold lands and had strong combat effectiveness. However, after entering the country, they would become agricultural nations and their combat effectiveness would gradually decline. This was the case with the Xiongnu, Turks, and Xianbei in the past. Entering the country in the opposite direction means using the excellent cultural knowledge and strategic strategies of the Central Plains to act as great scholars and make up for the shortcomings of the barbarians. The two merged and then burst out with powerful combat effectiveness!"
Murong Bo said: "Liao is the greatest country in the world after all. Do the Jurchens really have such potential?"
Murong Fu said: "Since the Chanyuan Alliance between Song and Liao, Liao has rarely fought large-scale battles and has no experience in large-scale battles. This is very scary. Even if the country has strong national strength, it may not be able to mobilize them."
"The Liao people were actually afraid of war and hated it, and had lost the bravery that the Khitans once had. For example, the Liao Kingdom once tried to use military force against the Jurchens, but the chief of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe said that if he helped the Liao Kingdom fight the Jurchen tribes and made them obey the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom would support him with equipment and food."
"The Liao people were delighted and supported the supply of equipment and food. They raised a tiger to cause trouble. Now the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchens has become the largest tribe of the Jurchens."
"So, the Khitans are actually corrupt. If the Jurchens can attack the Khitans, it may not be possible to destroy the Liao Kingdom, but it will not be difficult to occupy the Liaodong area."
Murong Bo said: "Is this all told to you by Emperor Chengwu?"
Murong Bo was deeply surprised that Murong Fu could see the situation outside the Great Wall so clearly, and he could only understand that it was taught by Emperor Chengwu.
"Yes!" Murong Fu said, "The Emperor told me that there is an extraordinary person in the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchens, named Wanyan Aguda. This person has the energy of a dragon! He will definitely become the emperor in the future!"
"What? Such a barbarian, outrageous!" Murong Bo's eyes turned red with jealousy, "What good luck! Should we go and seek refuge with Wanyan Aguda?"
"No, no." Murong Fu used the catchphrase of his trusted general Bao Bu Tong, "Wanyan Aguda is just a latent dragon now. We should not use latent dragons! When the latent dragon is discovered, we can cut off his dragon veins and use our Murong family's most powerful Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to transfer his dragon energy to us. We can use his good fortune to create our Murong family's kingdom!"
"Great!" Murong Bo was delighted. "It's worthy of Grandpa Shizu's strategy. What a great move! It borrowed the dragon's energy to fulfill the emperor's destiny! Great! Great! Grandpa Shizu Chengwu Emperor, back then, borrowed the dragon's energy from Fu Jian of the Former Qin Dynasty to hatch our Great Yan's kingdom! It's worthy of the handwriting of our ancestors! Your Excellency, how should we do it specifically?"
Murong Fu said: "I want you to go to the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchens outside the Great Wall, show your skills, take Wanyan Aguda as your apprentice, and teach you by words and deeds. After that, I will send someone to contact you and provide you with money and food. You will slowly win over other Jurchen tribes. In time, you will be a well-known figure among the Jurchens!"
"When the time is right, instigate conflicts between the Jurchens and the Khitans. You are the best at this, and you don't need me to teach you. The Liao Kingdom is powerful and the Jurchens are in panic. You should stabilize people's hearts and build up prestige."
"Inside the Liao Kingdom, the Emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan has been planning a rebellion for a long time. I will send people to force him to rebel now. By then, the Liao Kingdom will be in trouble, and the Jurchens will take advantage of the Liao people's anxiety to severely damage the Liao Kingdom!"
"Then, gather the Jurchens, Xi, Bohai, and Han people in Liaodong, occupy Liaodong, integrate national strength, and attack the Liao Kingdom!"
Murong Fu's package plan to destroy Liao and support Jin was a reproduction of the original history.
Historically, Emperor Tianzuo organized an army of 700,000 to deal with the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, but in fact there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses, which has already highlighted the consequences of the Liao people's lack of experience in large-scale legionary combat.
The command was a mess, and there were all kinds of mutinies and disturbances.
As a result, when Emperor Tianzuo led the army in person, a fire broke out in his backyard and he had to return to the capital. Wanyan Aguda unexpectedly attacked Emperor Tianzuo, and Emperor Tianzuo fought a low-profile version of the Battle of Sarhu and fled in panic.
"What if we can't win?" Murong Bo asked.
He is not as confident as Murong Fu.
"Why do we practice martial arts?" Murong Fu said calmly, "When it's time to take risks, take risks! You and I both have peerless martial arts, and we can kill the king in an instant! A white rainbow pierces the sun, a hawk strikes the palace, and when a common man gets angry, blood splatters five steps away, and the whole world is in mourning!"
"When you need to fight hard, you should fight hard. How can you become an emperor if you don't fight hard?"
"I understand!" Murong Bo is not afraid of big plans, but he is afraid of having no plans. Although Murong Fu's plan may not be perfect, it is always a reliable strategy. He immediately rubbed his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to my mission!"
After that, Murong Bo asked again: "Are we going to restore our country in Liaodong? Are we going to divide the territory of Liao with Wanyan Aguda, or are we going to go all out and occupy the magpie's nest?"
Murong Fu shook his head and said, "Neither, we should rule the world!"
