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

They felt even more resentful towards the Jin rulers.

Before they migrated,

Some family members were killed for conspiring to cause trouble.

During the migration,

And at the beginning of the migration,

Many clansmen also died of disease and starvation.

Because the Jin dynasty did not do a good job of relocation and resettlement.

Yelü Yudu's entire family was killed just a few days ago.

Wanyan Goushi then issued orders to sign soldiers and requisition grain.

Every household had to contribute soldiers and grain.

Landowners who owned slaves,

They also had to provide slaves as laborers.

Han Chinese, Khitans, and Bohai people

They all suffered greatly from this.

There are no longer any large clans here.

Once conscripted

That would be tantamount to becoming cannon fodder.

There is only one month left.

The militia and grain must be delivered to the outskirts of Jian'an City on time.

A village at the foot of the mountain, more than 30 miles from the coast.

The Khitan leaders in the vicinity gathered to discuss the matter.

"Where could the Commander-in-Chief (Yelü Yudu) have escaped to?"

"I don't know, maybe he went to Benxia."

"Why don't we run away too?"

"This is the heart of the Jin territory, where can we escape to?"

"I've heard that Han soldiers are looting along the coast,"

"Why don't we all go and surrender to the State of Song?"

"The Song soldiers are cowardly and probably cannot defeat the Jin people."

"There are Jin soldiers guarding this place,"

"They don't dare to plunder."

"I heard that the State of Song is gone,"

"What is the Ming Dynasty to the south now?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Someone came to buy mountain produce a while ago,"

"I heard it from that merchant."

"He said they crossed the sea to plunder,"

"They were not Song soldiers, but Ming soldiers."

"We don't have a boat, how can we swim across the sea?"

"Besides, there are still so many of our people,"

How could the elderly, women, and children escape to the seaside?

"Sigh, it's both conscription and grain requisitioning again,"

"How will we get through the days to come?"

“If we don’t give it to them, the Jurchens will come and take it.”

"Let's hope we can win the battle,"

"Go to the Song Kingdom and seize some back,"

"Maybe we can make it through this winter."

"It is the Ming Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty."

"No matter which country it is, we can only go and plunder with the army."

".....".

Chapter 1971 He's Gone Mad!

Not only these Khitans,

The people of Hesuguan Road,

As long as they are not Jurchen people

The whole place was filled with lamentations.

They kept some of the grain.

Put it in a jar and bury it in the ground.

They were waiting for the government to ransack their homes.

The men in the house were cleaning their makeshift weapons.

We should set off when the deadline approaches.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to come back after joining the army.

Countless slaves continued to live as usual.

Continue to work for the master.

In a few days, he will be sent to work as a laborer.

This situation occurred in various parts of the Jin Dynasty.

The Jin dynasty has gone completely mad.

Unscrupulous exploitation of the people

They also wanted to head south to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

When dealing with the Liao Dynasty,

They are the same way.

Winning the gamble time and time again.

It doesn't matter how many more people starve to death in China.

We can replenish our supplies as long as we win battles.

As long as the main force of the Jurchens remained, they had nothing to fear from rebellion.

Often, the fighting on the front lines hasn't even ended yet.

An uprising broke out in the country.

The people were forced to rebel time and time again.

Han Chinese, Xi people, Khitan people, Bohai people...

All ethnic groups have a history of rebellion.

Unfortunately, they were successfully suppressed by the Jurchen soldiers every time.

Therefore, the Jin dynasty was not afraid of popular rebellion.

Just turn around and kill a bunch of them while you're at it, and you're done.

Population is merely a consumable resource.

There are plenty in Liaodong.

There are many in Han areas too.

They can always manage to snatch it back and replenish it.

Wanyan Ang toured around Liaodong.

They then returned to Liaoyang to await the assembly of militia from various regions.

Soon, Wanyan Chamu also arrived in Liaoyang.

He was going to bring the troops here.

He went to Yanjing to meet with Wanyan Zongwang.

He also served as Wanyan Zongwang's military supervisor.

Wanyan Zongwang was relatively weak.

They still had to obey the Jin Dynasty court.

They dared not openly challenge him like Wanyan Zonghan.

"Urgent report from Hesuguan Road,"

"The southern barbarians have crossed the sea and are attacking!"

"And the traitor Yelü Yudu is also there!"

"what?"

Wanyan Chamu was still gathering an army and provisions.

Then an urgent report was received from Wanyan Goushi.

It is said that Jian'an City (Gaizhou City) was besieged by the Ming army.

After reading the letter requesting help,

Wanyan Chamu was both shocked and furious:

"Send orders to all units: immediately follow me to reinforce Hesuguan Road!"

.....

Hesuguan Jurchen

Since investing,

There were only four battles fought in total.

The first time was in battle against Gao Yongchang, the emperor of the Balhae Kingdom.

He was beaten so badly by Gao Yongchang that he fled in a sorry state.

They lost so badly they were afraid to play anymore.

They huddled behind the Jin soldiers.

They were specifically tasked with scavenging and transporting provisions for the Jin army.

The second attack was on Baozhou, which had become an isolated city.

There was no fierce battle at all.

They even let the Liao general escape by boat.

But they finally managed to subdue the Liao soldiers inside the city.

The third time was when he followed Aguda to attack Xianzhou.

He was credited with the greatest contribution when breaking through Liangyu's defenses.
