Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Yu Yunwen is saying goodbye to his mother.

Yu's eyes were red.

Holding his son's hand, he said,

"You are not yet of age,"

"My first time traveling so far,"

"We're going to the Western Regions and the Northern Desert,"

How could a mother not worry?

"The amulet I got for you,"

"Make sure to keep it safe with you."

"It can ensure that you will escape danger and be safe from harm when you are out there."

Yu Yunwen grinned, patted his waist, and said,

"The amulet is kept in the sachet."

The sachet was sewn by my son's fiancée.

Madam Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"When you come back, I will marry Wang's daughter."

Yu Yunwen was already engaged.

His fiancée is from the Wang family in Chengdu.

In terms of relationship, she is Bai Qi's wife's cousin.

Wang Family of Chengdu

There were in-laws everywhere!

He also has a lot of sons-in-law in the capital.

After the south is pacified,

Disperse the large clans that migrated to Sichuan.

The first family we need to deal with is the Wang family!

Ma Kuo was also saying goodbye to his wife, Yiyi.

They have spent little time together in the past decade.

Seizing every opportunity to cherish and reunite,

She has only given birth to one son and one daughter.

When the two children were born,

Ma Kuo was far away in the north and never returned home.

Zhao Xiaozhong and several other teenagers

He was also saying goodbye to his younger siblings.

These orphans come from various places.

They spent many years studying, practicing martial arts, and playing together.

Although there are various minor conflicts in normal times

But that feeling was extremely strong.

Xiao Wulila looked back at the walls of Tokyo.

The city walls are far more magnificent than those in the north.

Now, with the change of dynasties, there is also a new look.

The Ming army should be able to hold off the Jin army, right?

Xiao Wulila was still wary of the Jin army's fighting strength.

Those barbarians from the mountains are too good at fighting.

And they all fight like madmen.

……

In the northern desert, there is the city of Khatun.

Yelü Dashi was reading in his tent.

But then they heard hurried footsteps outside.

He then put down the books and waited to receive the visitor.

General Sa Ba lifted the curtain and entered.

He said with a big smile,

"Great Khan, there is great news!"

"The Jurchens have lost their minds."

"What are the Jurchens doing?" Yelü Dashi asked.

Saba said, "The Jurchens don't know how to manage the grasslands."

"They actually copied the Mengan Mouke system verbatim."

"They are based on population size,"

"Forcibly redrawing the boundaries of pastures,"

"Then the various parts were split and reassembled,"

“Select obedient tribal chiefs to serve as officials.”

"In order to guard against rebellions by various tribes,"

"Troops are still stationed two hundred li southeast of Jingbian City (near Hulunbuir City)."

Chapter 1773 Grassland Situation

Yelü Dashi asked with a pleased expression, "How have the various tribes reacted?"

Saba said, "The Tatar tribe is willing to be the lackeys of the Jin Dynasty."

“Oppressing the other tribes,”

"They were granted vast grasslands,"

"He was also granted many titles of Meng'an Mouke."

"The various tribes were not only oppressed by the Jurchens,"

"They were also oppressed by the Tatars,"

"People have been fleeing westward to come and seek refuge with us."

"Several tribes that didn't escape sent people to ask for help."

Yelü Dashi mocked, "The Jurchens are indeed barbarians."

"They only know how to conquer the world, but not how to govern it."

"Let me first wipe out the Jin army's garrison,"

"To reunite the various tribes of the grasslands and launch a southern expedition,"

"Recover the thousands of miles of lost territory of our Great Liao!"

The Jin dynasty's so-called assimilation of the former Liao territory

The methods used were rather naive.

In Han-dominated areas, the policy of shaving heads and changing clothes was implemented.

On the grasslands, they'll carry out the Meng'an Mouke campaign.

Furthermore, station troops in important military locations.

At the same time, support puppet forces.

Those who disobey will be killed by the puppets.

If the puppets couldn't defeat them, the Jin soldiers would personally take action.

On the Hulunbuir Grassland,

The Tatars were a puppet regime.

It cannot be called a puppet either.

It can be described as a dog.

After the fall of the Liao Dynasty,

The tribes here all surrendered to the Jin dynasty.

There are also some new tribes,

They took the opportunity to travel from the northern mountains to the grasslands.

They formed alliances and fought each other for control of grasslands.

When the Jin dynasty attempted to rule this area...

The Tatar tribe was the most obedient and cooperative.

Therefore, the nobles of the Tatar tribe

He was promoted to a high rank as commander of the Meng'an Mouke.

The tribal power grew rapidly with the help of the Jin Dynasty.

This is how the Jin Dynasty ruled the grasslands.

It is actually very similar to the Qing Dynasty.

But there are also fundamental differences.

The Manchus loudly proclaimed that the Manchus and Mongols were one family.

They lavishly bestowed titles and ranks upon Mongolian princes.

They also had intermarriages with Mongolian nobles for generations.

The Jin dynasty, however, only appointed military and political officials.

He neither conferred the title of prince nor...

They also do not engage in aristocratic marriages.

They even discriminate against and oppress these grassland tribes.

In all matters, a combination of firmness and persuasion is necessary.

The Jin dynasty, however, only resorted to force.

And it remained stubbornly firm to the end.

When it was discovered that the Mengan-Muke system was difficult to implement.

The Jin dynasty later adopted the administrative system of the Liao dynasty on the grasslands.

But the rule was too brutal.

The various tribes of the grasslands continued to rebel.

Later, they simply carried out genocide.

Those tribes that disobeyed were exterminated.

What is meant by "exterminating the male population"?

All the men taller than the wheels of a cart were killed.
