The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 161 They Have Meng'er

In Changyi County, Baliyuanshan is preparing to go on an expedition.

After he retreated from defeat last time, he was scolded by people sent by the cats and dogs, but they didn't do anything to him after that and still ordered him to continue fighting.

There was nothing A Mao A Gou could do. He had no Jurchen soldiers at his disposal. The Jurchen soldiers were now divided into three groups. One group was attacking Shaanxi, one group was going to Kaifeng, and another group was searching the mountains and seas in the south to capture Zhao Gou. How could they have the time to come to Shandong to suppress the bandits?

Ultimately, there are too few Jurchens!
In order to solve the problem of its small population, the Jin Kingdom has been desperately trying to find a solution recently.

Of course, this method is not "giving birth", because it takes too much time to raise a child.

The Jin Dynasty adopted two methods. One was to put forward the slogan "Jurchen and Bohai are from the same family", recognizing that the Bohai and Jurchen people are one family based on their ethnic origin, treating the Bohai people as the same ethnic group, and encouraging the Bohai people to integrate into the Jurchen ethnic group, which accelerated the integration of the Bohai and Jurchen people and increased the Jurchen population.

The second type is "redeeming and releasing slaves."

Before the rise of the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchens were just a minority. Such a nation would of course be oppressed and humiliated. Many Jurchens were forced to sell themselves into slavery and were used as slaves by the Khitans, Bohais, Tielis, and Han people.

Now that the Jin Dynasty was rising, they issued administrative orders requiring wealthy households to release their Jurchen slaves. Or they could use money from the national treasury to redeem Jurchen slaves from their masters, restoring their freedom and incorporating them into the Jin army.

You are not mistaken!

In the territory of the Jin Dynasty, there were still many Khitans, Bohais, Tielis, and Han people who held high positions and kept slaves.

Even the Jin Dynasty court would not rob their property and could only use ransom to rescue the Jurchens under their control.

Because they have established a country, it is a country, not bandits. They cannot arbitrarily call for war and killing against the rich people in their own country, and they cannot act recklessly just because their nationality is different from their own. Otherwise, the country will surely no longer be a country.

If the Jin Dynasty was founded by some Qidian authors, these "aliens" would have been killed long ago.

Because some authors are so cruel and bloodthirsty, even savages would be ashamed of themselves as they are not.

But this kind of person still claims that "a kind person cannot command an army". It's so funny. Those who are more kind than him are not qualified to command an army. None of the generals of the Jin Dynasty are as qualified as him to command an army.

In short, Amao and Gou had no Jurchens to use, so they had to use Khitans, Tieli people, and Hebei Han people... So he had to continue using Baliyuanshan, even if Baliyuanshan was defeated.

After the last battle, the 3,000 Liao soldiers in Baliyuan Mountain lost more than 200 people, and now there are only 2,700 left.

Amao and Gou sent him another 1,500 Tieli soldiers and another 1,000 Hebei Han soldiers.

Together, there are more than five thousand.

At the same time, he ordered the surrendered Song officials in Weizhou to organize food and fodder logistics and transport them to Changyi County and hand them over to Baliyuanshan.

A large number of carriages, horses, and laborers gathered towards Changyi County.

Baliyuanshan had a strong army and horses, but they received bad news that their scout circle had been suppressed.

In recent days, the scouts he sent out were constantly attacked and defeated. It was difficult for them to move outside the city. The reconnaissance range kept shrinking, so small that he couldn't even figure out what the situation was outside.

"Are you good-for-nothings? You can't even beat a few bandits?" Bali Yuanshan slammed the table so hard that the corner of the solid wood table was broken off, which shows how strong his strength was.

The scouts kneeling in the hall were so frightened by his roar that they almost lost their souls.

After shivering for a while, a scout said weakly, "General, there's something strange going on over there."

Bali Yuanshan: "What's so strange?"

The scout said cautiously, "The enemy's scout has Meng'er." "Meng'er?" Bali Yuanshan was slightly confused. "How could Meng'er appear here?"

At this time, Mongolia was still a very obedient race and very weak.

When the Liao Dynasty was powerful, the Mongol tribes generally obeyed its orders. Later, the Jin Dynasty rose and destroyed the Liao. Yelu Dashi fled to the Western Regions, and some Mongol tribes followed him to Europe to expand their territory. The Mongol tribes that remained on the grasslands and did not move westward were all obedient and submissive to the Jin Dynasty.

When Bali Yuanshan heard that Meng'er came to beat up his scouts, it was as if you were studying in college, and one day your classmate came to you and said that a group of elementary school students from the primary school next door had beaten him up, and asked you to take charge of the matter.

How can I believe this?
Bali Yuanshan stared at his subordinates with a fierce look...

Although the group of subordinates were timid and seemed very scared, they did not give in. No matter how Bali Yuanshan asked, they were sure that the person in front of them was a group of Mongols.

"Damn it! I still don't believe it." Bali Yuanshan said, "I'll go out of the city and see for myself."

He brought a large group of personal soldiers, all cavalry, out of the county town and ran towards Jiaoshui County in the east for a while.

Not long after running out of the county town, I saw the rebel scouts...

It was a team in distinctive armor: We will not withdraw them tomorrow night!

Bali Yuanshan looked at the Yebushou with a strange look, frowning, "How can this be called Mongol? They are clearly Han people! Although the armor they wear is a bit strange and doesn't look like Song army armor, judging by their figures and appearance, they are definitely Han people."

The scout under his command said, "They have scouts from Han'er and Meng'er."

"Hmph!" Bali Yuanshan said, "I want to see how capable these scouts are."

He kicked his horse's belly and rushed towards Ye Bushou.

Scouts will try to fight if they see that the enemy is outnumbered, but will immediately turn around and run away if they see that the enemy is outnumbered.

Although that team of Night Warriors were made up of plastic people, their professional settings were still there. When they saw Bali Yuanshan coming towards them with hundreds of his personal soldiers, they would not accept the attack. They turned around and ran away, blowing whistles while running to notify other scouts around to run away quickly because the enemy's large army was coming.

After a fierce chase in the distant mountains, he didn't catch a single hair.

It was impossible for him to chase into Jiaoshui County with only a few hundred people. He didn't want to get out of the bushes and be killed by the rebels, so he had to ride back.

As soon as I returned to the county town, I saw a group of scouts fleeing back to the city, and one of them had an arrow stuck in his body.

As soon as they saw the distant Bali Mountains, the scouts immediately complained: "General, we were attacked by Meng'er."

Bali Yuanshan was furious: "Meng'er Meng'er, when I go out I only see Han'er, but when you all go out you all run into Meng'er, is it such a coincidence?"

Scouts: “…”

Bali Yuanshan roared: "Where is Meng'er?"

The scouts pointed northeast.

Without saying a word, Baliyuanshan immediately rode his horse and rushed towards the northeast.

When he charged, his personal guards could not keep up. Their horses were not as good as the general's. They could not outrun him, absolutely not at all. They were chasing him breathlessly, and could not catch any trace of the exhaust gas from the distant mountains.
