Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty: Winter has arrived, the empire is leaving
"God bless us! May we be able to go south smoothly, trade with the Ming Dynasty predicted by His Majesty, and obtain the craftsmen and doctors that the alliance urgently needs... We come with goodwill and gold! If five hundred kilograms of gold is not enough, five thousand kilograms of gold is also available.
Yes, we just have to wait for the subsequent fleet to arrive..."
Zuwaro prayed for a long time in Yongning Temple and enshrined a golden talisman of the main god on the altar of Buddha. Then he looked at the stone tablet in the corner and turned around and left the temple. He had many puzzles in his heart.
, and there was a lot of urgency. And when he found Aguda, the chief of the Maha tribe, the first thing he said was to ask where the river leads to.
"Where does the river lead?... Uh... doesn't it lead to the south?... What? You ask where its end is? How do I know?... I came from the north to the south, and I only know Haizi in the north!..."
Maha Agu was confused. He looked at the somewhat excited "Ship Shaman" and wondered what kind of hallucinations the other party had witnessed as he offered sacrifices to the "mountain god".
The Jurchen tribes always have the habit of divination, eating some poisonous mushrooms, and shouting excitedly when praying and offering sacrifices. Unfortunately, as barbaric "Jurchens", there are not many shamans in the Yuskin tribe, and
The fighting during the migration was so brutal that the shamanic heritage could not be preserved at all...
"Commander of the ship, don't continue going south! The south is in chaos, and there are killings everywhere...I tell you, your few men will be eaten by people as soon as they reach the south! Those tribes who went south before can
You’re not as easy to talk to as I am!… Hiss! It’s so hot! This iron pot cooks porridge very quickly!…”
Maha Aguda beamed with joy as he gulped down the freshly stewed meat porridge and ate bits and pieces of chili peppers. He had completely forgotten how "looking" he was when they first met this morning, carrying a stone hammer weighing twenty kilograms.
Kind", how "easy to talk to".
"Maha Aguda, I saw the stone tablets left by the big tribes in the south! They arrived here by water and established this community... If you keep walking along this waterway, you will definitely encounter them!..."
"Ha! Go south along the waterway? We, the Maha tribe, don't have boats, but other tribes do! However, even if there are no boats, many tribes are good at swimming and climbing! ... You are here
If you spend the night on the river, you will inevitably fight with those tribes!"
Maha Aguda took a big gulp of the can of porridge, and then licked the corner of his mouth, like a tiger and leopard that had eaten its prey. Then he looked at Zuvalo with a sneer, and laughed loudly.
"Shipmaker! You know nothing about the cruel fight between the dense forest and the river. You are like a seal dog that climbed onto the shore, thinking that the front is as flat as the sea and easy to swim!... Why do you think that powerful southern tribe?
They have to leave! That’s because they can’t bear the endless cold and fighting in the north, and all the tribes can’t bear it!…”
"Do you know how many tribes from the northern forests and seas have marched south with Man as far back as I can remember? Do you know how many years the tribes have been migrating, how many tribes they have fought with, and how many people have died?
…”
"You don't know anything! The cold mountain gods are driving us, rushing south like a herd of wintering beasts! Every forest here is buried with the blood and bones of the tribe! ...Except for the dog tribe hiding in the corner of the seaside,
No tribe can stay in one place for a generation! Those tribes that took the lead to go south have already been like violent giant bears, smashing all the tribes in front of them, smashing them to pieces and bleeding, and taking them with them!..."
"Haha! Going south? Ask these captured local slaves, what kind of terrible fighting is it like in the south?... The tribes going south kill the local tribes and take away the territory and hunting grounds. But they haven't been stable for a few years.
Another tribe went south, one after another!... In the end, everyone gathered together and headed south, heading south together!..."
"And those original local tribes, those tribes with shaved pigtails and more farming than hunting, had long been frightened by the tribes from the north and south, and were driven as far south as they could!..."
Zuwaro's eyes widened, and gradually his heart grew cold as he listened to Maha Aguda's detailed description. The chaos and fighting in this vast land had only been revealed to him until this moment...
Yes! At the end of this fifteenth century, just like the two Jin Dynasties more than a thousand years ago, it was the beginning of the cold Little Ice Age and the era of great migrations of barbarian invasions!
Just a few years ago, Dongguan in the Ming Dynasty once again experienced snowfall. And the stable snowfall line has reached the Pearl River Basin in northern Guangdong. Even if there is a slight recovery from time to time, the overall trend is still cooling down. Until
More than a hundred years later, during the Chongzhen period, the temperature dropped to the extreme. The scholar-bureaucrats in exile in Hainan could be happy and watch the snow scene in Sanya all year round...
In the extremely cold north, in the vast land of Tunguska, after the order of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties receded, the terrible period of chaos has arrived! The entire outer northeast has become barbarian. The mature Jurchen tribes who originally lived in the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang,
Wave after wave of barbaric fellow tribesmen who went south, and the truly powerful Shengnuzhen tribes, were beaten to the point where they could not stand. They were almost the vanguard of those who were driven south, and they moved south to the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong territory, seeking the Ming Dynasty's asylum, and became
They became the two major Jurchen ethnic groups, "Haixi" and "Jianzhou"...
As for the Ming Dynasty, which once glorified the north, it shrank for the first time during the Xuande period 60 years ago. The Ming Dynasty abandoned Nuergandusi and moved its seat to Kaiyuan in the middle reaches of the Liaohe River. It only controlled the Liaohetao and Hunhe Rivers.
area. However, the Ming Dynasty still retained the crucial "shipyard" Jilin and the starting point for operating the Nuergan area.
But the terrible cold not only drove countless pregnant women to go south, but also drove the Mongolian tribes in Mobei to go south to Monan. Under the cold white disaster, the Mongolian tribes were forced to form an alliance and seek help from the wealthy Ming Empire in the south.
A large number of "tribute" gifts in return...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is actually the ultimate pressure to survive, and this is how the various Mongolian tribes, which have always been divided, have been crushed into a ball, or they can obtain necessary supplies from the "tributary trade" from the south.
of survival materials, or "start a war" to grab the survival materials, and then consume the excess tribes... Then, the Ming Dynasty rejected the "rude request". After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, an unprecedented cruel war began...
The outcome of the war forty-four years ago, the Tumubao Incident, and Yingzong's Northern Hunting changed everything. The Ming Dynasty lost Hetao Mongolia forever and was forced to build a long Great Wall. At the same time, Mongolia's Wuliangha
The various tribes, that is, the former Duoyan Sanwei marched eastward, and together with the Shengnuzhen tribes in the north, they continued to invade Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.
The second contraction began in the Zhengtong period and became a foregone conclusion after the Tumubao. Under the encroachment of the Mongolian Ulyanha tribes, the Ming Dynasty lost the Liaohe Tao and continued to shrink to today's Liaoning. The Liaodong town of Liaoyang was used as the administrative seat, and the remaining
The Nurgandu Division merged and began to build forts and walls. In the west, Guangning was the important town and the Great Wall was built to defend against the Mongolian "barbarians". In the north, Kaiyuan was the important town and the Jilin "shipyard" further north was abandoned and handed over to the south.
The included mature women’s real parts…
At this moment, the Jurchen tribes who were forced to move south have officially attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty. They settled from the Jilin area in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River and Hunhe River to the north of the Yalu River east of Fushun, and began to accept the Chinese rule of Jixi. They moved into the Jilin area.
The mature Jurchen tribes gradually formed the Haixi Jurchen tribes. As for the mature Jurchen tribes that moved to the east of Fushun, the north of the Yalu River, and the upper reaches of the Songhua River, they became the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes...
The history of the Jurchen tribes in the south also entered the era of rapid Chineseization, rapid absorption of the Ming Dynasty's system and technology, and an era of vassalage with unspeakable loyalty as mercenaries fighting for the Ming Dynasty...
This was the situation in the Northeast and the Outer Northeast when Zuwaro arrived. Of course, he didn't know all this at the moment. He just tried his best to persuade Maha Aguda and sent several tribal guides to guide him to the upper reaches of the southern river until he arrived.
The other party was pissed off.
"Damn it! Shipmaster, are your sacrifices bewitched and possessed by spirits?! You are trying every possible means to find that big southern tribe. What on earth are you going to do?...Could it be that you want to collude with them to rob this place? rob our horses?"
Habe’s territory?!…”
Maha Aguda looked serious, took out the sledgehammer again, and stood up suddenly like a big bear. He shouted sharply at Zuvalo, dexterously picked up the 20-kilogram sledgehammer, and smashed it fiercely.
