Yunzheng and others encountered a little trouble in Suzhou, but the Liao Kingdom had no idea that they were encountering a disaster at this moment - to be precise, it was the beginning of a disaster.
Although it is early summer at this time, there is still snow in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast of Liao Kingdom, just like winter. I don’t know whether the temperature today is much colder than in later generations, or whether the huge snow disaster last year was just too much.
It’s so powerful, maybe it’s both.
In the mountains, the sky is gloomy, and it seems that a heavy snowstorm is about to blow. As soon as you look out, you can see the white snow on the front, back, left and right. Not to mention the footprints of pedestrians, there are not even the footprints of wild animals in the snow. If anyone is here at this time,
, I could only look around in confusion, as if I was in the boundless sea with the sharp sound of wind whistling in my ears.
Suddenly, there was a loud "beep" cry from the mountain, but it was the sound of tigers roaring. Two tigers came galloping from the snow. Then they heard the sound of shouting, as if someone was chasing the tiger. But in the blink of an eye, there was snow.
Two colorful tigers came roaring in the middle, followed by a big man wearing animal skins and holding a long iron fork, chasing the two tigers with huge bodies. After running for a while, one of them turned around and roared, and pounced on the hunter.
The tiger's fork came out, aimed at the tiger, and stabbed the tiger's throat. The tiger moved easily. It turned around and avoided the tiger's fork. The second tiger pounced on the man again.
The hunter was very fast, turned the iron fork upside down, and with a slap, the handle of the fork hit the tiger hard on the waist. The tiger roared in pain, grabbed its tail, turned around and ran towards the other end. Lao Ni no longer wanted to fight, and followed him.
This hunter is very agile and very strong, but it is unclear whether he knows any martial arts. He may just be familiar with the habits of wild beasts. The tiger has not yet pounced, and his iron fork is waiting where the tiger's head will reach. As the saying goes, he can predict the enemy's plan first.
, but it seems that it is not easy to stab two tigers to death in one fell swoop.
But another person rushed out beside him. He was a young hunter with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and waist, and he was extremely tall. This person seemed to have martial arts skills. As soon as he appeared, he immediately rushed towards him, blocking the way of the two tigers.
The middle-aged hunter was startled when he saw the young hunter suddenly rushing out. He shouted loudly, not speaking Chinese language. But the young hunter just laughed, as if to reassure him, and then ignored him and mentioned
With his right hand, he aimed a palm at the tiger's forehead. With a bang, the tiger turned over and fell into a trap. With a roar like thunder, it rushed towards him again.
The young hunter was very good at martial arts. He used 70% of his strength with this palm strike. Even if he was a highly skilled martial artist in the world, his brains would burst if he was hit by it.
He hit the head with such force that he only lost a handful of dendrobium, and even when he pounced on the young hunter, he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed and praised: "Good guy, I have you!" It turned out that what he said was Jurchen's words. He turned sideways.
Open, his right hand swept diagonally from top to bottom, and with a scraping sound, he slashed at the tiger's waist. He added 10% of his force to this cut. The tiger rushed forward a few steps, staggered, and then jumped and ran away without risking his life. The young hunter
He took two steps forward, pulled out his right hand, and caught the tiger's tail. He shouted loudly, and grabbed the tiger's tail with his left hand. He struggled, and pulled back hard with both hands. The tiger was rushing forward on its own. When he pulled it like this, the two
With a burst of strength, the tiger flew straight into the air
The middle-aged hunter was holding an iron fork and was fighting with another tiger. Suddenly, he saw the young hunter throwing the tiger into the air. This was really a big surprise. I saw the tiger opening its mouth in mid-air, stretching out its sharp claws, and starting from
Kong pounced on the young hunter with a loud shout, punched out both fists, and struck the tiger on the belly with a muffled sound. The tiger's belly was the soft spot. This move was the young hunter's proud skill, and the big insect's internal organs were immediately shattered.
It cracked, rolled on the ground for a while, and fell dead in the snow.
The middle-aged hunter was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Good son! I have learned kung fu all these years in vain, and I can kill a tiger with my bare hands. I have an iron fork in my hand. If I can kill this tiger too, wouldn't it be wrong?"
Are you being underestimated?" Then he stabbed the tiger with one stab to the left, one to the right, and one stab after another. The tiger was hit with several stabs on its body, which aroused its ferocity. It exposed its white teeth and jumped towards him.
go
The middle-aged hunter dodged sideways, and stabbed the tiger's head and neck with the iron fork with a pop. He raised his hands, and the tiger fell to the ground with a pitiful howl. The middle-aged hunter used his arms to pull the tiger over.
The tiger was firmly nailed in the snow, but when he heard the sound of a rattle, a large slit opened in the back of the animal skin clothes on his upper body, revealing his bare back and tangled muscles. He was very majestic. The young hunter looked at it.
, secretly praised in his heart: "Dubo Jilie, the sword is indeed immortal!" I saw the tiger's belly pointing to the sky, and its four claws were scratching and crawling in the air. After a while, it finally stopped moving.
The hunter raised the iron fork, laughed loudly, turned around, patted the shoulder of the young hunter who came to him, and praised: "Bizong, good job, I can't compare to you now."
Bi Zongdao: "Du Bo Ji Lie is very generous. If Du Bo Ji Lie hadn't asked his son to follow the old man, he wouldn't have such skills now. The son's ability was taught by the old man, but it was also given by Du Bo Ji Lie."
, my son never dares to forget.”
"Dubo Jilie" laughed and pulled him towards the dead tiger. As he walked, he said: "Among the things that I, Wan Yanming, have done in my life, the luckiest one is that I saved the old gentleman's life.
The smartest thing is to ask an old gentleman to teach you!"
Wanyan Bizong smiled, and suddenly sighed: "The wisdom of the old man is as vast as the sea. I have learned from the old man over the years, and I am afraid that I have only scratched the surface."
Wanyan Ming waved his hand: "If you can learn 30% of the old gentleman's ability, our Wanyan tribe... no, we Jurchens won't have to be bullied by Liao dogs anymore." He suddenly turned his head and asked with interest
: "I don't dare to expect you to learn much from the old gentleman's wisdom, but your martial arts... how are you doing? I saw that your skill in fighting the tiger just now is very handsome."
Wanyan Bi Zong said: "The old man said that his son was born with supernatural powers and that this boxing method was very suitable for him. He also taught his son twenty-four spear techniques. After his son mastered it, the old man said that his martial arts had few opponents in the Liao Kingdom."
If ordinary people said it, they would be a little proud, but when Wanyan Bizong said it, it was calm and calm, with no fluctuation in his tone. He was just stating a fact.
Wanyan's face brightened with joy: "Is this true?"
Wanyan Bizong nodded: "The old gentleman said this, and my son doesn't know whether it is true or not."
Wanyanming laughed loudly: "If the old gentleman said yes, then it must be so. The old gentleman knows the Liao Dog very well. He can even guess the deployment of the Liao Dog's troops. He is very familiar with the Liao Dog officials."
I know his appearance and personality very well, and the old gentleman’s words are unmistakable!”
At this time, the tiger was newly dead and its blood had not yet condensed. Wanyan Bizong lifted the tiger's body upside down, took out a dagger and slit the tiger's throat, poured the tiger's blood into two skin bags, threw one to his father Wanyanming, and opened the other to drink.
Wanyan Ming, who had been eloquent for more than ten years, was just like him. He drank several large sips and saw that his father was still bold. Wanyan Bizong was very happy. He tore off two tiger legs, lit a fire and roasted them on the pile. Wanyan Ming saw that his father was empty-handed.
The tiger's body was torn apart like a cooked chicken. His hand strength was much stronger than before. I couldn't help but become more and more sure that the "old gentleman"'s words were not unreasonable. My son was quite capable.
After the tiger meat was roasted, the two of them were full quickly. Both of them had big appetites. The two tiger legs of such a big brother were completely eaten. Each of them probably had less than ten kilograms of meat!
After the two of them had eaten, they didn't waste much time. Originally, it was just right for each of them to carry a tiger, but Wanyan Bizong was not willing to let his father tire him out, so he simply dragged away a dead tiger with one hand. His father, Wanyanming, was the leader of the Wanyan tribe.
That is to say, Du Bojilie didn't take it seriously when he saw his son rushing to do things. It was only natural for his son to help me, what could be said? The Wanyan tribe was considered a big tribe among the Jurchens, but the Jurchens were in a bad situation.
Bo Jilie was originally a tribal warrior. Although he became the leader, he never relied on others when it was time to go hunting. It happened that his fourth son, who had been out for several years, finally returned home, so he went hunting with him. He was lucky enough to catch two heads.
Tiger, you can take tiger skins, bones, tiger whips, etc. to the old gentleman when you go back. Although I heard that the old gentleman sold a pharmacy and is no longer engaged in the business of medicinal materials, his men are still doing business as usual for some reason.
Wan Yanming has been selling these things like this. If he exchanges these things with those Liao people, the things he gets in exchange are pitiful. If the officials and soldiers of the Liao people encounter them, they will not even exchange them for anything in many cases.
They confiscated it directly, but for the people who gave it to the old man, they would exchange it for some things that the tribe needed. Sometimes it was flour, sometimes it was cloth, and sometimes they could even get good knives, so they were used to exchange it.
To the old gentleman
Once at the tribe, before they reached the end of the field, Wan Yanming's expression changed outside and he said angrily: "The Liao dog is here again!"
Wanyan Bizong looked at the horses outside, the corner of his mouth twitched, and a murderous look flashed: "The horses are so fierce, there are only less than twenty people, should we kill them?"
Although Wan Yanming's face was full of anger, he held it back and said: "They must have come to urge us to ask for Haidongqing. It is not difficult for us to kill them, but the Liao dogs will definitely send people over again. What will happen then?"
manage?"
Haidongqing is a bird of prey that is as big as a magpie, flies as fast as an arrow, and is ferocious in nature. It can hunt swans and help people hunt. Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "Dancing gracefully with wide sleeves, like a bird coming from the east from the sea." Compendium of Materia Medica
"" records: "The most handsome one carved out of Liaodong is called Haidongqing." With its extremely strong explosive power, Haidongqing was called the aerial king of the ancient northern world. Haidongqing is not easy to capture and domesticate. There is often a folk saying of "nine escapes."
The saying "It's rare to find an eagle" means that the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, princes and nobles, because of their tradition of hunting, did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy seaweeds. Whoever could catch and present them would be able to atone for their sins. Domesticating seaweeds became a popular tradition at that time.
However, there were too few of them and it was not easy to buy, so the Jurchen tribe that produced Haidongqing suffered a disaster.
The emperor of the Liao Dynasty would perform a grand "eagle release" ceremony every year, that is, taking Haidongqing to hunt and play in the wild. The so-called spring mountains and autumn waters, the four seasons of the alms bowl system. According to the "History of Liao? Ying Wei Zhi? Xing Ying": "Liao Shi Ying Wei Zhi Xing Ying"
There are deserts all over the country, including the Great Wall. Because it is suitable for treating cold weather in autumn and winter, and to escape summer heat in spring and summer, people go fishing with water and grass. It is considered that there is always a place for walking in each of the four seasons, which is called "Nabo". "Spring Nabo"
There are many bowls in Yahebo, which is today's Maoxingpao area in Zhaoyuan County. "History of the Liao" has a vivid description of spring bowls: in the first ten days of the first lunar month every year, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom went to Beijing (today's Linzuo Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia).
Departing from Dongzhen (East Town) in about two months, we reached Duck River Pond. At that time, the swans had not yet migrated here. The emperor and his entourage set up tents on the ice, cut the ice to collect fish, etc. As soon as the lake opened up, the attendants all put on dark green clothes and prepared their own equipment.
A chain hammer, an eagle food utensil, and a goose-thorn cone were arranged around the duck river. The emperor stood upwind and looked out. Once he saw the swan, he immediately raised a small flag, rode on the prowl to report to the attendants, and sounded the drum at the distant berth.
The goose started to frighten, and the emperor immediately released Hai Dongqing. Hai Dongqing flew up with horns like an arrow and shot straight into the clouds. Suddenly it swooped down and flew straight towards the swan, and flapped it with its powerful wings. The swan could not support it.
, immediately fell into the dust. The surrounding attendants immediately rushed forward, raised a cone to stab the goose, took the brain and fed it to Emperor Haidongqing. He feasted the ministers, and put swan feathers on the head to compose the poem "Strong" stolen by Le Yunzheng.
"The jade claws of the wind reach up to the sky, and the wind hair falls into the snow and frost when I glance at the sun." This is the portrayal of Dongqing's perseverance and bravery in attacking the swan, using small to defeat the big.
Although the emperor of the Liao Kingdom is young now, he is a little emperor who loves hunting very much. He especially likes falcons and hounds. In the sea east of the Jurchen territory, there is a kind of pearl as big as a marble and as small as a sycamore seed. The Liao people
The beloved pearl clams ripen every year in October, but at this time there are several feet of solid ice on the seashore, and people cannot cut through the ice to get pearls. There is a local swan that feeds exclusively on pearl clams. After eating the clams, it hides the pearls in its crop and hunts them.
Yinghai Dongqing is an expert in catching this kind of swan. In order to use Haidongqing to catch this kind of swan, the Liao people forcibly took eagles and harriers for many years.
Real people suffered a lot
At the same time, in order to enjoy hunting everywhere, Emperor Xiao Liao often sent envoys, wearing silver medals, called silver angels, to the Jurchens to forcefully obtain the falcon Hai Dongqing. Everywhere these envoys went, in addition to squeezing property from the Jurchens
, and asked them to offer beautiful women to stay with them, regardless of whether they were married or not, and did not ask about their family status. This cruel act of arbitrarily calling it "recommending pillow mats" to Khitan nobles aroused the incomparable hatred of the Jurchens.
At this moment, another silver medal angel came here. Although Wanyanming was angry, he still couldn't make up his mind. Wanyan Bizong said excitedly: "Both are extremely strong. The old gentleman said that the bones of the Liao people had been destroyed by Yun of the Wei Dynasty seventeen years ago."
The commander interrupted, the current Liao dogs are basically strong on the outside and strong on the inside. As long as we take action, we will definitely win a few battles. If we win a few times, all the Jurchen tribes will respect us as their leaders. Then
It’s time to gather the strength of all our tribes and we will surely win!”
