Chapter 342 If the bet is won, I am the hero of the founding of the country
Except for Zeng Nong's eldest sons, Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, and Zeng Sheng, they all looked at each other in confusion after hearing what their father said.
Showing an expression of disgust and hatred.
Zengtou City often took advantage of the trade opportunities between Song and Liao to travel to and from the North. The Zeng brothers also witnessed the declining Liao Empire constantly plundering the falcons and horses that abounded in the mountains and forests where the Jurchens lived, in order to replenish the deficit in the treasury.
Otter, mountain ginseng and northern pearl.
In recent years, the oppression has become more and more intense. The Liao people openly robbed and used various names to "fight the Jurchens" (playing gambling is called trade, which is the name for trading with the Jurchens in the Liao Dynasty). They just exchanged gold with the Song people.
Silver filled the national treasury. My fellow tribesmen just wanted to exchange these special products for life-saving supplies such as salt. Over time, many tribesmen were left without food or clothing to keep warm.
The five tigers of the Zeng family were all unruly and domineering, and they were all in their prime of life. Seeing that their compatriots in their hometown were oppressed by the Liao people and lived in dire straits, they naturally gnashed their teeth with hatred. But they did not understand that the Jurchen tribes could gain power once.
, but still could not compete with the huge power of the Liao Dynasty. Since our family has been naturalized in the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, why did my father send the fourth child to exchange news with the Jurchen tribe?
What makes Zeng Tu and others even more incomprehensible is that no matter which Jurchen tribe they want to contact, why should they choose the Wanyan tribe who works as a slave to the Liao dogs? Our Zeng family is an ethnic group of the Jurchen Pu Nie tribe. Wanyan
Aren’t we the mortal enemies of our ancestors?
Among the Jurchen tribes at that time, the most fierce and proficient in fighting was the Pu Nie tribe. Not only did they dare to kill the Liao envoys with swords several times and openly resisted, they also fought fiercely with Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty starting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and joined forces with the Bohai Kingdom to fight against the Khitan several times.
Qiangguo is a fierce tribe that specializes in picking hard bones to gnaw. Warriors such as Ba Yimen and Tao Deli of Pu Nie tribe, Xie Ye of Mo Nian tribe, Aheban and Shi Lu of He Shilie tribe are all brothers of the Zeng family.
The hero in my childhood.
However, the main culprit that caused the Pu Nie tribe, which had the same bloodline as the Zeng family, to collapse was Wugunai, the leader of the Wanyan tribe who had colluded with the Liao Kingdom and secretly betrayed his compatriots from various Jurchen tribes. Although Wugunai's successor, the Wanyan tribe
Dubojilie (meaning great chief in Jurchen language) went through Libo and Wuyashu became stronger and stronger after several generations. However, the Zeng brothers knew that the reason why the Wanyan tribe was able to rise was because they used despicable means to betray themselves.
Compatriots and tribes, and thus relying on the power of the Liao State to eliminate dissidents, it has developed to this point.
"Dad, although the Liao dogs are hateful, those lackeys and slaves of the Wanyan Department should be killed even more! What can they do if they become big? Since we have moved to the Song Dynasty, why do we need to associate with those lackeys of the Wanyan Department? The child thought
It doesn’t make sense!” Zeng Sheng looked angrily and said bluntly to Zeng Nong.
"My son has misunderstood! Do the Song and Liao people think of us as Pu Nie tribe and Wan Yan tribe? To them, we are all Jurchens!"
Zeng Nong let out a long sigh and said: "It is despicable and shameless that Wanyan Wugu Nai secretly cheated the Tonlia people back then, but it must be said that he was extraordinary and led the Wanyan tribe to become increasingly powerful. Now the Wanyan tribe unites the Jurchens
Among all clans, Wu Yashu's brother Aguda, who is now the leader of Wanyan tribe, is indeed a very great hero, and Wu begged to buy coryna. Our Zeng family is able to get in touch with Wanyan tribe because of
He is about to have a relationship with the same clan in the Song Dynasty..."
Zeng Mi sneered and said: "So what? Even if the Wanyan tribe is tyrannical, would they dare to fight with the Liao dogs like our ancestors of the Pu Nie tribe? The Liao country has a vast territory, and they can still rush over to attack the Song Dynasty.
Can’t make it?”
"The Wanyan tribe has united many tribes and is now far more powerful than the Pu Nie, Mo Ni, He Shi Lie and other tribes. Do you think they will still be willing to endure the tyranny of the Liao Kingdom? Back then, the Khitan people were also subject to the Northern Qi Dynasty for generations.
The Sui Dynasty, the Turkic Khanate, the Tang Dynasty and other countries suppressed it. Who would have thought that the Khitan would successively defeat the Tang sect Cao Renshi, Wang Xiaojie, An Lushan and other generals who were known as "all barbarians surrendered and all nations came to court" with heavy troops.
He suppressed several expeditions? Who could have expected that Nayelu Abaoji would be able to merge various tribes and establish a huge empire that can now compete with the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty?
At that time, Na Yelu Abaoji once said that the Jurchens were invincible if they had less than 10,000 people. Nowadays, the officials of the Song Dynasty and the Emperor of the Liao Dogs are all stupid and incompetent people. The alliance between our Jurchen clan has become powerful. In this world, the Liao Dogs can sit still. We
Why can’t the clansmen sit still?”
Zeng Nong looked meaningfully at Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, Zeng Sheng, and then said: "The tribes of our tribe are scattered in various places, and the sum total is far less than that of the Liao and Song people. As for our Pu Nie tribe and Wan Yan tribe
Old grudges... Hehe, the founding father of the Song Dynasty launched the Chenqiao Rebellion and took away the great land of the orphans and widows of the Zhou Kingdom. Who among the people of the Song Dynasty would say that he was sitting on the throne of the Zhao family improperly? Only our people are truly
When we become stronger, we Jurchens who have been exiled to the Song Dynasty will be able to straighten their backs."
Zeng Mi and others couldn't help but open their mouths after hearing this. They were used to living a peaceful life in the Song Dynasty. They usually just talked about the Liao people who oppressed their compatriots in the north and just scolded them for fun. But even the Liao court
No matter how stupid or miserable you are, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse... What is the population of the scattered Jurchen tribes together? Under the rule of the Daliao Kingdom, the Khitan, Han, Xi, Bohai, and Shiwei
When the combined population of all the tribes reaches nearly ten million, wouldn't it be foolish to overthrow the rule of such a huge empire?
Once he saw the surprised looks on his sons' faces, he sighed inwardly and thought: My children are used to being arrogant and indulgent in the Song Dynasty, and they don't look like bloody Jurchen sons at all.
In fact, after getting in touch with the Jurchens in the North, I heard some rumors from the Wanyan tribe Wu Qingmao. The now famous Wanyan Aguda was made a vigilant by the Liao Kingdom, but secretly he was in Liaodong.
Order the Beidi tribesmen to build castles and repair equipment to prepare for an army to rebel against Liao...
After receiving this news, Zeng Nong was extremely excited. He thought that now there are five to seven thousand people gathered in Zengtou City. Once our Jurchen tribes succeed in their work, how can they not be favored by Du Bo Jilie, the Wanyan tribe?
Although Zeng also understood that it would be extremely difficult for the Jurchen tribe with a small population to defeat the powerful Liao Kingdom and establish their own political power, this was an opportunity that was definitely worth his big gamble. Zeng Tou Shi and
The Jurchens who are short of supplies trade and trade. Even if the Wanyan tribe raises troops to rebel against the Liao Dynasty and fails, the Jurchen ethnic groups living in the Song Dynasty will not be rounded up and suppressed by the Liao Kingdom. But if the Wanyan tribe can really cede territory and establish a country, he, the same
Didn't the Jurchens, who were born in the white mountains and black waters, become the heroes of the founding of the country? It was just a matter of great importance, and I had thought that I would wait until the Wanyan tribe raised an army to see the outcome before I could tell these children about it.
At this time, Zeng Suo frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Dad, I still don't understand. We are in Dezhou, Hebei Province, and we are still thousands of miles away from the Baishan and Black Waters! Even if the Wanyan tribe unites the tribes and causes some troubles, , how can it help us? Take the current situation as an example, when we argue with Xiao Tang, don’t we still have to look at the eyes of the high officials of the Song Dynasty? Even if Wu Qi bought Wanyan’s Aguda, it would be able to save him. Got something wrong?"
If my people can really raise an army and establish a country, then Xiao Tang is just a Liao dog favored by the mediocre officials of the Song Dynasty. Who is he? Zeng Nong snorted and thought again: I secretly went to the north to do business with my people. In order to be reused by our Jurchens when we found the country and revive the glory of our ancestors in the Pu Nie tribe. By then, let alone the Xiao Tang Dynasty, I will not take it seriously even the officials of the Song Dynasty. But for now, I Zengtou City is just a powerful household in Texas, and it is not appropriate for him to have an open conflict with Xiao Tang...
"You can't just look at the present. Xiao Tang will soon go north to the Liao Kingdom. The father who stayed behind in Daming Mansion will deal with it. Even if we want to plot the horse ranch under Xiao Tang's name, there are some things that are not suitable for us to deal with at the moment. The people in the city took action..." Zeng Nong said in deep thought, and then said to his eldest son Zeng Tu: "Have you found the suitable person I asked you to find?"
Zeng Tu nodded and replied: "There is a strongman leader in Qingzhou called Yu Baosi, the god of danger. That man gathered more than 200 people and went around doing things. I have some friendship with him, and outsiders don't know what he has to do with us in Zengtou City. If Dad wants to disrupt Xiao Tang's business, this person can be of great use."
