Qian Song

...

At the beginning of Hongwu's 15th year.

Just as the people in the capital of the Dagan Dynasty were celebrating the New Year, good news came from the north.

The Wanggu tribe, a large tribe on the grassland, was willing to surrender to the Dagan Dynasty, and the Wanggu tribe also presented a great gift to the Dagan Dynasty-the Jinren of Wanyan Changbu.

In the first year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs were destroyed by Miao Jiasi, and a part of them went south and settled in the Yinshan area.

Therefore, the nobles of the tribe, like the Gaochang Uighurs, took Bu Guo Kehan ​​as their ancestors.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, this tribe had a close relationship with the Shatuo tribe led by Li Keyong, and later some Shatuo people merged. Therefore, this tribe also called itself "Jin King" and "Shatuo Yanmen Jiedu" (i.e. Li Keyong) descendants.

Later, this minister belonged to the Daliao Empire.

After the Jin destroyed the Liao Dynasty, this department belonged to the Jin Dynasty.

During this period, this tribe also absorbed some Uighurs who moved in from the Western Regions, Khitans who died in the Liao Dynasty, and neighboring Han and Xixia people.

After the Uighurs, the Tatars became dominant in Mobei, so all the tribes in Mobei were called Tatars.

Therefore, this department is also considered to be the "other department" of Tatar in the history books of Tang and Five Dynasties.

However, the basic composition of this part is a combination of Turkic-speaking ethnic groups, and their appearance and customs are obviously different from the Mongols. Therefore, they were called White Tatars in the Liao and Jin Dynasties to distinguish them from the Mongolian-speaking Tatars. Or black Tatar, but they call themselves the Wanggu tribe, or translate Yonggu Wanggu, Wenggu, Wanggu, Wanggu, and Wangguti.

There is also a saying that the Jin Dynasty built a large wall (the Great Wall of Jin) in order to defend against Mongolia, Kelie, Naiman and other tribes. It is called unkuh in Mongolian and was given to the guards of the Ministry, so it was named Wanggu.

Before the Wanggu tribe was conquered by Wanyanchang for the Kingdom of Jin, they had a close relationship with Wanyanchang.

A few years ago, Wanyanchang's family members were captured by Yue Fei and sent to Li Cun's harem. Later, the main wife Wanyanchang married was Alawustijikhuri, the Khan of the Wanggu tribe. eldest daughter.

In other words, Wan Yanchang is the son-in-law of Wang Gubu.

The main battle faction of the Jin Kingdom cleaned up the main peace faction, Wan Yanchang escaped Jin Wushu's execution because of his vigilance, and then he escaped from Jin Shangjing with thousands of people in his clan, wandering on the grassland.

Before the decisive battle between the Qianjin and Jin armies, Jin Wushu ordered that all the family members of those who participated in the decisive battle from him down must be sent to the capital for resettlement, and he issued a strict order: once the Jin army fails to win the decisive battle, stay and watch. The daredevils of the family killed all the people in the city, and then burned the city, so that all the people in the capital were buried for the Kingdom of Jin.

Jin Wushu wanted to use this method to make the men fight against the Gan army outside, and put all the family members of the men participating in the war as hostages in the capital, so as to prevent the combatants from being half-hearted and not doing their best to fight the Gan army.

After hearing Jin Wushu's order, the members of the Wanggu tribe were furious!
In addition, Wang Gu's tribe didn't come to join the battle against Jin Wushu, but came to join the battle after finishing Yan Chang.

Some rebellious people from the Wanggu tribe said on the spot that Jin Wushu did this because he obviously didn't trust them. Since they didn't trust them, why did they still sacrifice their lives for the Kingdom of Jin?Then they wanted to leave with their families.

As a result, Jin Wushu decisively sent people to kill all the men from the Wanggu tribe who supported the Kingdom of Jin, and then rewarded all the women from the Wanggu tribe to the Tataer tribe who followed Jin Wushu's direct troops.

——These women were also sent to the capital city later, and they planned to wait until the Jin army defeated the Gan army, and then the Jin people would hand over these women from the Wanggu tribe to the Tatar tribe. Later, the Jin army was defeated in that decisive battle, Yuwen Huangzhong led the people in the upper capital to fight against the Jin Dynasty. These women from the Wanggu tribe actually fell into the hands of Li Cun in the end. Among them, the high-status or young and beautiful ones entered Li Cun's harem, and the low-status Those who are old, old, and of average appearance will enter the Marriage Office to be rationed to those soldiers who cannot marry wives.

After Wan Yanchang heard about what happened to the Wanggu tribe, he took thousands of people from his tribe to vote for the Wanggu tribe.

After the Dagan Dynasty won the national war, Li Cun sent a large number of envoys from the Dagan Dynasty, including Ma Zhi, Ma Kuo, and Wang Lun, to Xixia, Tubo, Muwu and the grassland tribes to warn them: Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

Moreover, not long after, Li Cun asked Yue Fei, who had already initially put down the rebellion in the Northeast, to hand over all the tasks of suppressing bandits and suppressing the rebellion in the Northeast to Li Yanxian, and then appointed Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and Zhang Jun as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. The military governor was in charge of preparing for the westward march to the grassland to attack Buchen.

At the same time, Li Cun appointed Li Gang as the Northern Propaganda Envoy, Zhao Ding as the Northern System Envoy, and Liu Zhengyan, Shi Liai and others as deputy. Li Cun asked them to use political, economic, diplomatic, military and other means to divide, disintegrate, conquer, and eliminate , Cannibalize the tribes of the grassland, strangle the unborn Mongolia in the cradle, and eliminate all hidden dangers of the Dagan Dynasty in the north.

Of course, since Xixia is still there, the Dagan Dynasty has not recovered the Hexi Corridor. Now it is unrealistic to merge all the grasslands into the territory of the Dagan Dynasty. After all, without taking down the area controlled by Xixia and the Hexi Corridor, building For the railways in Mongolia and Xinjiang in later generations, the Dagan Dynasty was really beyond the reach of the northwestern region on the inaccessible grassland.

However, the Dagan Dynasty can definitely attack the grassland tribes such as the Tataer, Zhaji, Hedixin, Shanzhikun, and Wanggu tribes near the Northeast.

The first to bear the brunt is the Wanggu tribe closest to the Dagan Dynasty.

Ma Zhi, the Zhao Liangsi who once proposed for the Zhao and Song dynasties the strategic strategy of uniting with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, was ordered to go to Wang Gu as an envoy with Ma Kuo.

After Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo arrived in the Wanggu tribe, Ma Zhi changed his compromising diplomatic attitude in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and directly and forcefully asked the Wanggu tribe to hand over Wanyan Chang and his tribe, and then surrendered to the Dagan Dynasty and accepted The division of the Dagan Dynasty, and then changed the Chinese name, wore Hanfu, and learned Chinese characters.

Ma Zhi also made it clear that if the Wanggu tribe did not follow suit, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Dagan Dynasty would come to wipe out the Wanggu tribe in a few days, leaving no humans or animals behind.

Ma Kuo sang red face and said that the Dagan Dynasty was bound to wipe out all the resistance forces on the grassland. The role model of the tribe, the Dagan Dynasty is bound to win.

Ma Kuo also said that if the Wanggu tribe surrendered to the Dagan Dynasty, there would be no distinction between Han and Hu in the future. The ancient tribe was the first to surrender to the Dagan dynasty. The Dagan dynasty will definitely buy horse bones with thousands of dollars, move the Wanggu tribe to a wealthy area, and give the Wanggu tribe many preferential policies, such as tax exemption, fertile land, and housing. etc……

The strength of the Dagan Dynasty, which wiped out many countries, especially the Jin Kingdom, the overlord of the grasslands, is beyond doubt.

It is well known that the Dagan Dynasty intends to seize the grassland, completely merge the grassland into the territory of the Dagan Dynasty, and solve the problem of humiliation on the grassland once and for all.

If the Wanggu tribe refused to surrender to the Dagan Dynasty and listened to the splitting of the Dagan Dynasty, they would definitely have to move westward, otherwise they would definitely not escape the attack of the Dagan Dynasty.

The problem is that there are tribes stationed on the fertile grassland in the west, and the more fertile the grassland, the stronger the tribes stationed on it. If the Wanggu tribe wants to find a grassland suitable for the Wanggu tribe's nomads in the west, war must be indispensable.

This is actually nothing.

What prevails on the grassland is the survival rule of "Natural selection, survival of the fittest; survival of the fittest, and the strongest is king."

Therefore, the Wangu tribe is not afraid of war if necessary.

But the question is, who knows where the Daqian dynasty's ambitions will stop?What if the Dagan Dynasty continued to march westward after the Wanggu tribe struggled to migrate to the west?Wasn't Wang Gu's efforts in vain?
Also, what Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo said made sense. If the Wanggu tribe surrendered to the Dagan Dynasty, there would be no worries about survival in the future. On the contrary, the Wanggu tribe might be exterminated.

Therefore, under the pressure of the situation, many people in the Wanggu tribe have actually moved to surrender to the Dagan Dynasty, and then accepted the idea of ​​​​separating the Dagan Dynasty.

But Alawustijikhuri knew very well that once the Wangu tribe accepted the division of the Dagan Dynasty, the once powerful Wanggu tribe would completely become history.

Arawustijikhuri was really reluctant to part with their tribe that had grown through countless generations of development and accumulation.

It is precisely because of this that although many people in the Wanggu tribe have the intention of surrendering to the Dagan Dynasty, Alagus Tijikuli is still hesitant...

One night, Alawustijikuli suddenly received a report from scouts, saying that Niu Gao and Zhang Xian, the generals of the Dagan Dynasty, were leading [-] troops each to advance towards the Wanggu tribe.

Arawustijikuri was frightened on the spot and broke out in a cold sweat.

After discussing with several wise men in Wang Gu's tribe, Arawusti Jikuri immediately went to question Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo in person.

After seeing Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo, Alawustijikuli immediately reprimanded: "Your dynasty is a country of etiquette. Today, disregarding the friendship between the two families, you will take the lead in raising troops to fight. It is famous for sending troops. I don't know Why did the army come here?"

Ma Zhi said indifferently: "Your Ministry does not judge morality and capacity, and does not judge the time and personnel. I wait to come here as a courtesy, and the army is to serve as soldiers later. The ceremony is first and then the soldiers."

Ma Kuo said: "No one knows all the reasons why the imperial court ordered the generals to send out troops. But it is nothing more than that the imperial court suspected that the Khan was using a delaying strategy and wanted to do something wrong, so it took a preemptive strike. I hope the Khan will make a quick decision and turn the Dalai Lama back. The whole family contributes to the imperial court and obeys the orders of the imperial court, otherwise when the army arrives..."

Speaking of this, Ma Kuo paused, saving some affection for Alagus Tiji Khuli.

No idea, but Ma Zhi took up the conversation and said: "If Khan is stubborn, once our army arrives, you will be turned into ashes."

Alawustijihuli was furious at what Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo said. He threatened Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo and said: "The eagle on the grassland is not frightened. If you send an envoy to one side, you will not be frightened." What do you mean by advancing troops? If the two ambassadors don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back this time!”

Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo were shocked when they heard what Alawustijikulli said, but their expressions were still calm.

Ma Kuo said slowly: "If your troops are unwilling to be recruited, the Khan can kill us without saying these threatening words. However, Ma Kuo has to remind the Khan that it won't take long before I do it." The Heavenly Soldiers will come here, I am afraid this is not the blessing of your department."

Arawustiji suddenly looked stunned, he didn't expect Ma Kuo to be so fearless of death.

Arawusti Jihuli said: "The Dagan sent you to wait for death? I didn't expect that Dagan would abandon the life of a scholar-bureaucrat like nothing."

Ma Zhi laughed, and put life and death aside and said: "I am here to exchange my own life for the life of the nobles and the whole family. If you can understand it, you will live together; if you can't understand it, you will die together. Don't be afraid to tell the terrible Khan, since we came to your ministry, we have never thought about going back alive."

Ma Kuo went on to say: "Time is the worst strategy for military use. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Either use time to achieve success, or use time to achieve failure. You are strong and I am weak, or you and I are evenly matched. At this time, maybe You can use time to separate, but at present, the strength of our two families is very different, why use time? How about your military strength? Can you have one-tenth of my dynasty? Or one hundredth, one-thousandth? Neighboring, your ministry seldom does evil things. I divided up my troops early in the morning and marched in. I don't know how your ministry will resist it? Under such circumstances, why should I send people to your ministry to analyze the disaster and fortune for you? Do you want to be dead? Isn’t this against common sense? What Khan said just now is as common sense as a child’s!”

Arawustijihuli was speechless after being refuted by Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo, with a face full of embarrassment, he left alone.

The wise man who eavesdropped on the Wanggu tribe outside, waited for Alawustijihuli to come out, and said to Alawustijihuli: "The envoys are in my hands, and even if they are so tough, if the army comes, Is there any reason for my family to survive, why not surrender?"

Alawusi Tiji suddenly sighed, and then ordered that all the members of the Wanyanchang clan who had already been controlled by the Wanggu tribe be tied up, and then held a banquet for Ma Zhi and Ma Kuo to make amends, and said Wang Gubu is willing to surrender to the Dagan Dynasty and accept all arrangements of the Dagan Dynasty.

Alawustijikuli also very conspicuously dedicated all three of his daughters (including the daughter who had married Wan Yanchang) to Li Cun, and also married a hundred beauties from the Wanggu tribe.

After Li Cun learned of this, he ordered Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Liu Yanzong, Shi Li'ai and others to split Wang Gu's tribe into ten divisions, leaving only one of them in place to accept the management of the Northern Xuanfu Division and the Northern Expeditionary Army. He led the other nine ministries to move to the interior and divide them into nine places for resettlement.

More than ten days later, Wanyanchang, Wanyan Wodai, Wanyan Wudabu father and son, and all the women of the Jin Kingdom's clan of Wanyanchang's tribe were sent to Jinling City.

——The non-clan men of Wanyanchang were sent to rebuild the railway through labor reform. They were considered lucky Jurchens, after all, they escaped death.

Of course, this is also because, if the Khitan people were allowed to kill the Jurchens to the current level of less than [-], the Jurchens would definitely no longer be a threat to the Daqian Dynasty.

In history, although Wan Yanchang was also one of the war criminals who invaded the Zhao Song Dynasty, one of the creators of Jingkang’s shame, and also occupied Zhao Ji’s second daughter Rongde Emperor Ji Zhao Jinnu, but since he was defeated by Zhao Li, He became a staunch advocate and peace faction among the Jin people, and some people said that he communicated with the Song Dynasty and facilitated the return of part of the land to the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just for this point, Li Cun didn't kill Yan Chang by a thousand swords.

But it is definitely not Li Cun's character to let Li Cun Wanyanchang, one of the creators of the shame of Jingkang in history, and the person who occupied Zhao Jinnu.

Therefore, Li Cun treated the Wanyanchang clan equally, imprisoned all the men of the Wanyanchang clan's Jin Kingdom clan into Wanguo City, and brought all the Wanyanchang clan's Jin Kingdom clan women and their beauties into his harem. Let time completely wipe out the Wanyan Chang clan...
