Chapter 1404 The return trip is imminent, clearing hidden dangers
On the northeastern side of the Korean Peninsula, Huining, which borders the Liaodong region, and the Qingxing area are deserted and deserted on the seaside. There are many felt tents standing under the foothills. There is also a sparse forest not far from the felt tents, which can be used by local tribesmen to cut wood and make fires.
and drawing water.
There were people coming in and out of the felt tents near the seaside. Although most of the tribesmen here were wearing crude animal robes and seemed more like primitive tribes that drank blood from raw materials, there were also tribesmen on the coast who were either connecting rafts with wood or taking water.
The craftsmanship of wood shipbuilding is also quite unique.
Among the Jurchen tribes born in the Liao Dynasty, the Pulumaoduo and other tribes are different from other tribes that thrive in the white mountains and black waters. They are better at hunting, herding and fishing, and are also famous for their good shipbuilding. Although most of the Jurchen tribes today are
He went to join Wanyan Aguda's alliance, but in the borderland where Liao and Goryeo were originally bordering, there were some tribes who stood by with the idea that they would rather be a chicken head than an ox queen.
However, as the Jin Kingdom's national power grew stronger, it was only a matter of time before it could annex the entire Liao Dynasty and replace it. The mentality of the few other Sheng Jurchen tribes who were just sitting on the sidelines also began to waver. Previously, they were just unwilling to surrender to the Wanyan tribe, but now
It seems that the Jurchens were able to establish their own country, but they were able to teach the Khitans who had enslaved and ruled them for generations to become untouchables. Similarly, as a Jurchen tribesman, they had no choice but to be respected by the Wanyan tribe, and they were also the tribal leaders who joined the Jin Empire.
People can enjoy worldly wealth and honor, but don’t they feel even more proud?
Pu Liduo, the leader of the Jurchen tribe who was born here, had this idea. He was sitting in front of the tent wearing a beast coat, watching three or two tribesmen slaughter and skin a freshly skinned animal, all the body parts were still there.
The steaming deer is steaming, and the women of the tribe are filling the bottom of a stove pot with firewood, boiling the water in the pot. The tribesmen who peel the deer meat have the same relationship with the women of those tribes.
Everyone was chatting and laughing loudly in Jurchen language. Even if heart-wrenching cries came from the felt tent not far away, they were completely unaware of it and seemed to have become accustomed to it.
When Pu Liduo heard the cry, he spat. Now there are only about twenty slaves robbed from Liaodong, Korea and other places, and the property and food that can be robbed are not as good as before. Now he and even
The number of tribes that are still willing to live in the nearby areas has decreased by 70%. I think back then, they united several clans to build fifty large ships and sailed to the sea with 3,000 tribesmen. They killed and looted wherever they passed, and robbed thousands of slaves and traded them for resale.
.....How majestic was it at that time? But judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the few tribes that still live by their original trades to return to the level they once taught the Liao Dynasty, Goryeo, and Japan.
His color changed and he became so powerful.
Several Jurchen tribes living near the sea are good at shipbuilding. A few generations ago, they even presented their shipwrights as tribute to the ruler of the Liao Dynasty. In addition to fishing and hunting to make a living, there have always been many tribes that engaged in pirate activities and built ships and went to sea.
They invaded Korea, Japan and other countries. Pu Liduo recalled his grandfather's generation. During his great-grandfather's generation, several tribes of pirates were most prosperous. Not only did they sail across the ocean to the islands of Japan and wreak havoc and plunder, they also swept through Tsushima, Iki and other countries.
, the Amami Islands, and landed in Japan's Chikuzen, Chikugo, Satsuma and other coastal areas. They even went south to plunder the Song Dynasty and Tengzhou and other places. However, the situation has been passed down for several generations but the situation is getting worse year by year. The border of Goryeo
The coastal defense was even tighter, and many nearby tribes had responded to Wanyan Aguda's call and went north to join the Kingdom of Jin. According to the tribe's household divisions, Pu Liduo knew that with the current strength of the tribe,
It is difficult to organize the Yuanyang bandits to rob large groups of merchant ships.
Now that Goryeo has been plundered, the men and women from the border areas of Japan are used as slaves. It is useless to rob some necessities of life. Pu Liduo secretly thought that the people who went out to sea to plunder a few days ago were nowhere to be seen. Zhemo bumped into a large number of Koryo patrols. They were killed by the navy... Although my tribe is not prosperous now, when it comes to shipbuilding skills, as long as we have enough people, my clan will be the best for generations. Now the Jin Dynasty is bound to annex all the territory of Liaogou. By then, there may be a place for my tribe to be used in water battles. Although the Wanyan tribe was previously unwilling to succumb to the Wanyan tribe... After all, we still need to have a big country to rely on, and we won't be as miserable as we are now, so why not? What are you afraid of, the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo?
When Pu Liduo was right in his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of warning horns behind him but stopped abruptly. He and many other people around him immediately became vigilant. Hundreds of people came out of the felt tent and hurriedly took out their hunting bows. Hanging on his shoulders, he took the pot arrow and tilted it down. He immediately jumped onto the horse next to him and quickly gathered around him according to Pu Liduo's instructions.
Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and countless war horses suddenly rushed out from the mountain pass to the west. The suddenly invading army horses were full of murderous intent and quickly formed a formation, rushing straight towards the felt tent located between the foothills and the sea.
Suddenly, countless more arrows shot up into the night. The Biao Jinqi who suddenly came to kill used the method of riding and shooting. He picked up his bow and arrows and fired a round. Countless arrows flew into the sky, and immediately rushed toward Puli and others. The people smashed him down.
Are they the officers and soldiers of Goryeo? No, the enemy who suddenly invaded were very skilled in riding bows and horses. Look at the costumes of the guys... but out of nowhere did these many Bohai and Khitan rangers appear. Surprise attack on me!?
Pu Liduo was so horrified that when he noticed, the overwhelming rain of arrows was already coming. The roar of the arrows made people's eardrums hurt, and they were as fast as rain, gathering in the air. The Jurchen people who were caught off guard here looked up in horror, and their bodies were almost covered by countless arrow clusters that were as dense as a rain!
The four generals who led this group of archers, horses and cavalry to suddenly launch a surprise attack on the Jurchen tribe born here were none other than the four generals, True to their Words, True to their Words, Qiong Yao Nayan, and Aliqi.
When Xiao Tang was taking the sea route, he accidentally encountered a pirate who was going to plunder the sentry ship of his own fleet without hesitation. He discovered that among the various tribes of the Jurchen tribe, there were also tribes that relied on water and usually engaged in pirate activities. Later, he discovered that After further research, I found out that those tribes were proficient in shipbuilding technology. This was also because after the demise of the Bohai Kingdom, which had relatively advanced shipbuilding and navigation technology, some tribesmen such as the Wujia merged with the Jurchen tribes in the coastal areas, and there were some According to the records of boat builders who dedicated their lives to the Liao Dynasty, there are still some tribes to this day that, despite their primitive ecology, have actually inherited the technology of building and sailing ships.
However, according to Qiongyao Nayan, Arich and other Liao officers and generals, although Wanyan Aguda unified most of the Jurchen tribes, during the invasion of Liao during important battles such as the Battle of Jiangning Prefecture, the Yuanlanzi Army of the Liao Dynasty negotiated the gold Although the army, horse and infantry are unstoppable, it seems that they can only manage to muster five to six thousand naval troops, and the warships are only a few hundred. There are also Jurchen pirates running around in the waters around North Korea. It can be roughly concluded that most of them responded to the Agu attack. In addition to the clans called by the Wanyan tribe to join the Jin army, there are also a few Jurchen tribes living in the coastal areas of northern Goryeo.
The Kingdom of Jin was not originally good at water warfare, but since there are indeed some Jurchen clans who are good at building ships and have been used to pirates for generations, eliminating them before they have received the protection of the Kingdom of Jin will become a hidden danger in the future, and also
It was a force within reach, and this was the last battle that Xiao Tang planned to fight in this borderland of the Liao Dynasty.
Represented by this Jurchen tribe, most of which are headed by Puli, the few remaining tribes that still make a living as pirates are scattered here and there. In order to avoid being hunted by the government and the army, they roam around the nearby seashore and are also scattered into groups.
Several strongholds. It was also because Cui Muyuan was captured by pirates and was rescued by Xiao Tang when he was being escorted as a slave. Even if he was wary because Xiao Tang occupied Baozhou and the country's officers and soldiers resisted, if he wanted to clear out those
Cui Muyuan and Xiao Tang hit it off when it comes to pirates harming their own country.
Based on Cui Muyuan's description of the place where he was imprisoned, and his estimation of the direction and date of his voyage after he was escorted onto a ship, Xiao Tang searched the surrounding areas along the land and water, and roughly figured out a few remaining Jurchen pirates' territories.
, then except for the Yan brothers, Yi Ji Cheng, Qiong Yao Nayan and others, almost at the same time, the leaders of the horse army and navy army all issued orders according to Xiao Tang's orders, and swarms of swarms came out everywhere.
