Chapter 2160 Sejong Chapter 36 The Different Wanyan Department
Wanyan Shilu, the current minister of Wanyan Jurchen, the grandson of Wanyan Bahai, the first generation governor of Songmo, was a resolute, upright and dignified man, and was called a sage by his tribe.
In the past half century or so, due to the large-scale development and management of the Han Empire, the social status of the Northeast has undergone drastic changes. The people who have felt the most about this change are undoubtedly the Jurchen and Shiwei tribes who are the "aboriginals" of the Northeast.
.
Especially the Shengnuzhen tribe north of the Ya River (Songhua River). No one has more say than them. Their language, writing, habits, customs, and beliefs have all been severely impacted, and the tribal organization and management structure, and even production and lifestyle have been severely affected.
The change is a fundamental change.
The original Wanyan tribe was not very prominent among the raw and mature Jurchen tribes in the Duck River Basin. They relied on the Han Kaibao Northern Expedition and marched into the Northeast, carrying out a speculative expansion.
But obviously we have not met the right time. In the gap between giants like Han and Liao, even the unified Jurchen tribes may not be able to make a difference, let alone a mere Wanyan tribe.
The result was that, instead of eating a piece of fat from the Khitan's body in the northeast and absorbing any nutrients, Wanyan tribe lost troops and generals and its strength was greatly reduced by the counterattack of Yelu Xiu Ge and other Liao soldiers.
When the Han Dynasty took over the Northeast, not only was the land of Huanglong Mansion, which they yearned for so much, destroyed and turned into an important border town of Liaodong Road, but also the tribal lands in the Yaji River Basin were occupied by the Andong Governor's Mansion, and later had to be further surrendered to Suihua
The development of Wangcheng will make room for it.
Of course, after all the hard work, the Wanyan tribe has gained nothing. At least the title of Governor of Songmo has been retained. Although it is a false title, it has also widened the gap with other Jurchen tribes. At the same time, relying on previous performance, it has also
It gained Anton's trust more than other ministries, and gained a lot of benefits in the process of Qin King Liu Xu's integration of Northeast China.
When the Wanyan tribe was still under the rule of Wanyan Bahai, Wanyan Suike and his son, they were actually in a state of recovering their strength. Of course, with the integration method of Qin King Liu Xu's method of integrating the Anton tribe, it was impossible to watch
These tribes accumulated silently.
Therefore, the Jurchen tribes, including the Wanyan tribe, also faced strong internal and external pressures in the process of recovery and development, accompanied by quite fierce confrontations. The long-standing traditions and habits of each tribe were in the military and political system of Anton.
Under the impact of strong power, it becomes fragmented, which will naturally offend the interests of those conservatives and trigger a violent backlash.
The process of changing the customs of the barbarians, reorganizing the people into households, and governing them according to Han law was by no means a smooth process. Therefore, during the twenty years Liu Xu ruled Anton, internal security wars occurred one after another, and the repeated situations among the assimilated tribes were even worse.
It is everywhere.
During that process, there are records that Anton's army sent troops to quell the chaos, but no one knows how many people died as a result. In short, the blood shed was enough to dye the Ya River red. So, at the beginning of Liu Wenyuan's succession to the throne, Anton
There was another backlash from the conservative forces of the Barbarian tribe, which triggered an even tougher and bloody suppression.
It was also from the reign of Liu Wenyuan that the barbarians and young people in the Northeast really began to forget the old non-kingly customs and habits and embrace Han tradition. Even if they had other ideas, they had to be based on Hanization.
In the process of Chineseization, the Wanyan tribe was also the fastest and most thorough. This also led to the Wanyan tribe's strength gradually widening the gap with other Jurchen tribes, becoming the well-deserved number one.
As for this first place, it was precisely after Wanyan Shilu became the clan leader that the past twenty years were a period when the fire of civilization of the Wanyan tribe was burning vigorously, and it was also a process of rebirth of the Wanyan tribe.
When Wanyan Shilu was a boy, he was sent to Suihua City by his father Suike. While serving as a hostage, he also studied Han culture, etiquette, and systems at Andong Official School until Wanyan Suike's death.
Shi Lu had just returned to the tribe and assumed the important responsibility of the tribe leader.
Therefore, although the Wanyan Shilu ethnic group belongs to Jurchen, ideologically, he is a "Han" deeply influenced by Sinology education. After becoming the head of the Wanyan Department, he also applied all what he learned to the tribe.
development and transformation.
It needs to be mentioned that in official history, Wanyan Shilu offended a large number of conservative forces because of his dogmatic governance reform of the tribe, and almost lost his life. The process was very difficult. But in this life, the conservative forces were defeated under Anton's iron fist.
Broken apart, the Anton government also helped with difficult matters, while Wanyan Shilu gained more fame and prestige because of "good governance".
In less than twenty years, the old camp of the headquarters was renovated and a "Wanyan City" was even built. However, the seemingly prosperous Wanyan Department also faced many problems. The problems of survival increased with Rye Mai.
The introduction of fish and the development of fishery and animal husbandry have solved at least half of the problem, but the problem of "quality of life" has become increasingly serious.
These problems all stem from an obstacle that Wanyan Department must overcome for further development: the Andong Kingdom.
Although he was deeply influenced by Sinology, Wanyan Shilu always had a "Jurchen heart". While he was working hard to develop the Wanyan tribe, he was also trying to get rid of the influence of the Andong Kingdom. For these Jurchen tribes, they came from Andong.
The interference of the Dongwang Court in all aspects was too profound. In Wanyan Shilu's heart, there was always a yearning for independence.
Wanyan Shilu's dissatisfaction with the rule of the Andong Kingdom was mainly concentrated in two aspects. One was that Anton exploited the Wanyan tribe too much. The people of the Wanyan tribe worked hard for a year, and five or six times out of ten they would eventually use various methods.
Falling into the hands of the Anton government, what was left was obviously not enough to maintain a subsistence life for the people.
When the King of Qin Liu Xu was still alive, he was very strict and knew how to make timely adjustments to all policies. When Liu Wenyuan came to power, there was basically no room left. In addition to finance and taxation, it also included human corvee, the population who left the Wanyan area, and recruitment.
The soldiers were all cutting into the backbone of the tribe. King Anton regarded the Jurchen tribe as slaves and used them like pigs and dogs. This harsh approach made it difficult for people to surrender.
On the other hand, the current Sinicization and assimilation policy of the Andong Kingdom has increasingly disregarded the interests of the original tribal leaders. The preferential treatment once promised by the King of Qin is no longer guaranteed, and the process and intensity of household registration for the people are becoming increasingly difficult.
It is getting bigger and faster. It is obvious that the Anton government has wanted to completely break the tribal organizational form, bypass the upper class of the tribe, and directly rule the tribesmen.
And this kind of damage to interests is difficult to accept, whether it is the declining old chiefs or the Jurchen upstarts who have been baptized by Sinicization, and it is common for them to oppose or even resist.
Therefore, in the past ten years, it can be clearly discovered that tribal riots under Anton's rule have become more frequent than in the past, and an obvious characteristic is that they are led by some old tribal chiefs.
In contrast, the ordinary tribesmen are still numb to this. After all, even without Anton's support, their lives will not be much easier. At the same time, if they can be selected into Anton's army, then It's just a complete turnaround.
The treatment of the Anton army, at least in the northeastern region, is based on the highest standards. This is very tempting to many lower-level Italian tribesmen. The Anton army is a mixed breed of Han and Yi people, but their loyalty is very high. The combat effectiveness has always been maintained well. This trend is what makes the tribal chiefs and leaders increasingly worried.
Compared to others, Wanyan Shilu is more knowledgeable. He has always insisted on and promoted the in-depth Chineseization and restructuring of the tribe, but he hopes that this change will be in a direction that is conducive to their rule, rather than being eventually eaten up by the Anton government. Wipe it clean, not even the bones and dregs are left
Of course, Wanyan Shilu was much more stoic than those who fought recklessly. Under the suppression of Andong Kingdom's powerful strength, any direct confrontation would be suicidal.
The only one who could rely on was the Imperial Court of the Han Dynasty. However, Wanyan Shilu had also learned the principle of "there is no close relationship between people who are apart". It was also a bad idea to use his identity to sow discord between the Imperial Court of the Han Dynasty and the Andong Kingdom.
Therefore, for a long time, Wanyan Shilu was very distressed. He could only try his best to maintain the situation of the tribe and cope with the various demands from the Andong Kingdom, while silently waiting for the opportunity.
The turning point came during the Kangzong Dynasty. The Andong Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger, and the relationship with the imperial court was visibly getting farther. When Liu Wenji came to the throne, the atmosphere became even more tense. The friction, conflicts and crimes that occurred on the border between Andong and Liaodong Road were completely Yan Shiluke was observing closely.
When Zeng Hui was transferred to Liaodong, he carried out a series of policy measures against Anton's military, merchants and civilians. While it had a serious impact on Anton, it also made Wanyan Shilu fully realize that the original relationship between Anton and the imperial court was not the same. It's not that close. It turns out that the imperial court is also afraid and wary of Anton.
If this is the case, then there is a lot of room. Wanyan Shilu deeply realized that if he wanted to overthrow Anton's rule and get rid of Anton's slavery, relying on his own strength alone was far from enough. He had to rely on the Han Empire Central power.
Of course, the idea is the same and the principle is the same, but how to implement it is not that easy. If his grandfather Wanyan Bahai, he might still be able to call a few words in the court, but Wanyan Shilu would be strong and powerful in Anton. Under the influence of assimilation, Wanyanbu also had some understanding and influence on Anton Wangting.
So, in a rather aggrieved and depressing atmosphere, Wanyan Shilu waited agonizingly for another seven or eight years. When Anton King Liu Wenyuan's hair turned white, and when he was no longer young, he finally got a glimpse of this. Opportunities available.
At first, when he received a secret order from King Andong, asking him to send his troops south to raid the border, Wanyan Shilu was confused and frightened. He was not "good" at this kind of thing, let alone did not dare.
But after the first reaction, a voice deep in his heart raised its head. Isn't this the opportunity he has been pursuing so hard but can't get? King Anton, this is a blatant attempt to confront the imperial court. Isn't such a move worse than
He racked his brains to think about how to use the power of the court to get rid of Anton. How much easier would it be?
However, Wanyan Shilu, who had been patient for many years, still did not dare to act rashly. He still needed to observe, review, and confirm before making a decision. But before that, he still followed the inertia of the past few decades and sent his troops south to raid.
plunder.
Of course, before setting off, he gave a stern explanation to his subordinates. It was okay to steal things and make noise, but firstly, they were not allowed to kill Han people, and secondly, they were not allowed to invade towns. In short, it made sense.
Later, Wanyan Shilu received news from the Han Dynasty that Emperor Liu Wenji had embarked on a northern tour, accompanied by 50,000 forbidden troops. At the same time, he received a "hint" from Anton, requesting
The Wanyan tribe, together with the other Jurchens, attacked Huanglong Mansion.
This was a matter of rebellion. How could Wanyan Shilu be willing to do it? The most important thing was that Wanyan Shilu, who thought he had obtained irrefutable evidence of King Andong's rebellion, finally made a bold decision to report to the court and expose Liu Wenyuan.
Based on the available information, Wanyan Shilu's analysis shows that whether it is Emperor Liu Wenji or King Anton Liu Wenyuan, the confrontation between the two sides has been put on the table and will not end easily.
And his memorial was like adding fuel to the fire, making the situation even more heated. The only thing that worried Wanyan Shilu was that something went wrong while leading Anton's secret envoy to Youzhou.
