Chapter 326 How can anyone's heart be like a beast's heart
The prosperous country of Haidong is a mysterious dynasty.
This is the eight-character comment given to the Bohai Kingdom by later historians, which expresses the past glory of this powerful empire.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty conferred Da Zuorong as the "King of Bohai County" and the governor of Huhan Prefecture, and began to use the title "Bohai". Fifty years later, the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to upgrade Bohai to a country.
From then on, the Mohe people had their own country, with prosperous culture and economy, and became the overlord of the Northeast for a while.
Until the rise of the Khitan, Bohai State was located at the elbow of the Khitan, and it was certainly a must-win territory for the Khitan.
The Bohai Kingdom, which had been ruled by fifteen generations of emperors, had long since lost its power and glory. Yelu Abao led his army to personally conquer the Bohai Sea. In the spring of the following year, he captured the Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, Dabao surrendered, and Bohai was destroyed.
The capital of Khitan was built on the old capital of Bohai Kingdom and is still called Shangjingcheng.
"The Jin conquered the Liao Dynasty and came back from the Bohai Sea to build up their descendants."
The Jurchens and the Bohai people are actually from the same origin. Wanyan Agu launched an army to rebel against the Liao Dynasty, and the Bohai people responded accordingly.
But the Jurchens only have 25,000 soldiers who can fight, but the Bohai people have an army of 300,000. I have more than ten times more people than you, why should I listen to you? It's too embarrassing. I can do it myself better.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Jurchens had just established their country and had to deal with the Liao people, the Bohai nobles supported the Liao generals in Tokyo, and the Bohai native Gao Yongchang supported his own troops and occupied more than fifty states in Liaodong.
The anxious Emperor Tianzuo scolded his mother while sending Zhang Lin and Yelu Chun to recruit troops to suppress it.
Seeing that things were not going well, Gao Yongchang did a magic trick and sent an envoy to ask for help from Wanyan Aguda, which almost made Wanyan Aguda laugh.
When the fight between me and the Liao people was in full swing, you showed me how to be self-reliant. Now that the Liao people are beating you, you still have the audacity to ask for help and accept it.
Wanyan Aguda was so disgusted that he sent Oru to lead the internal and external armies to attack Gao Yongchang.
The Bohai people, who originally wanted to reap the benefits, suddenly discovered that Jin Liao actually sent people to conquer their two elder brothers, Liao and Jin, at the same time. He could not defeat either of them, let alone a mixed doubles attack, attacking from both sides.
The three parties were hostile to each other and would fight whenever they met, turning the entire northeastern Liaoning into a pot of porridge.
The powerful general Oru of the Jin Dynasty led his army south. Before he encountered the Bohai Navy, he met the Liao army in Shenzhou, defeated the Liao army and captured Shenzhou.
Gao Yongchang led an army of 200,000 troops to form a formation at Woli Living Water to resist the Jin army. Jin general Yan Mu took advantage of the situation and led his army to forcefully cross the river, defeating Yongchang's army on Shoushan. Yongchang led the remaining army and retreated into Tokyo City.
The next day, Gao Shuichang, who was desperate, fought with the Jin army in Jinfa City and was defeated again. The Jin army took advantage of the victory and captured Tokyo.
In less than a month, more than fifty states in Liaodong, including Khitan and Tokyo, were all controlled by the Jurchens.
What's even more frightening is that after the Jin army occupied Tokyo, they didn't think of stopping to rest, and quickly led their army westward, preparing to capture Liao Shangjing.
Emperor Tianzuo had long been frightened out of his courage and was in danger of going to the capital. At this time, the Khitan dignitaries were still busy fighting for power.
The atmosphere in Shangjing City is so weird. There are dark clouds over the city and the panic before a storm is coming, but it is also shrouded in a crazy hedonistic luxury.
The atmosphere of national subjugation is clearly evident——
The Jurchens were always cruel and cruel to prisoners of war and their children, and they did not treat them as human beings.
But the Bohai people are an exception. These people share the same ancestors as them. The most important thing is that the Jurchen population is too small, and these Bohai people need to be enriched.
In Huining, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, a group of Jurchen Tatars covered in animal skins escorted many high-level prisoners of the Bohai Kingdom into the city. The road was full of whipped raw slaves.
After the Jurchen wars, nearly ten thousand people were captured under each noble's tent, and countless Khitan people became slaves of these people.
They were often naked and looked numb. Those who dared to resist were killed, and the faces of the remaining people were more numb. When the whips hit their bodies, they didn't know how to dodge, and they just kept wailing.
A slave of a subjugated country is no better than a dog or a sheep. His family is ruined and his family is destroyed. He relies on his survival instinct to survive under the whip of the Jurchen Tatars.
The so-called capital Huining Mansion is simply a living hell on earth, too miserable to behold.
Among the Bohai prisoners, one person stretched his neck and looked around, shaking his head and saying: "Although the Jurchens are brave, they don't know how to govern a country. How can it last long like this?"
The captured Bohai King Gao Yongchang turned his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Yang Pu, how long has it been since this happened? Do you still have the time to worry about them? Our fate will probably be similar to that of these strangers. I will have to fight head-on when the time comes.
Even if I die, I won't let these Tatars do anything to me."
These people were escorted to a school ground, where hundreds of Jurchen generals and Mou Ke were training. Two horses came from a distance, and immediately came two sturdy Jurchen nobles, wearing extravagant clothing.
Although it is not tasteful, it is really dazzling, all gold and silver ornaments.
"Haha. Yang Pu, you are indeed here, you are easy to find."
Yang Pu looked up and saw that it was Wanyan Wu who was begging for money. He was the younger brother of Wanyan Aguda, and he was more powerful than one person in the Jin Kingdom. When the Bohai people did not rebel, they went on an envoy to the Song Dynasty together.
Wanyan Wu Qimai valued this Yang Pu very much and praised him fiercely in front of Wanyan Aguda, and even came to see him personally.
Seeing each other in this situation, Yang Pu smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out to be the second king. Please forgive Yang Pu for being shackled and unable to salute."
Wanyan Wu Qimai smiled up to the sky and waved his hand. Several Jurchen Tatars stepped forward and untied Yang Pu's chains.
"And my family."
Wanyan Wu Qimai smiled and said: "Who knows who is your family member? Please point it out quickly and untie them all."
Yang Pu quickly reached out and drew with his fingers, and soon several children were freed. Yang Pu hugged them into a ball.
The fur coats of several children had been pulled off and wrapped around the Jurchens' horses along the way. They were too cold to cry at this time.
Wanyan Wu Qimai said impatiently: "Come on, I praised you to the sky in front of my eldest brother, and he wants to see you now."
Gao Yongchang took a look and said loudly: "Yang Pu, I am a prisoner and you are a guest. Don't forget to save my life."
Although Wanyan Wu Qimai was polite to Yang Pu, he was actually a violent person. He narrowed his eyes and said: "Gao Yongchang, you led your troops to rebel against our Jurchens, what do you think will end well? You don't have to wait for my elder brother to say something.
, I’ll kill you first.”
He waved his hand, and the Jurchen Tatars behind him swarmed forward and pulled out the men of Gao Yongchang's family from among the prisoners, a total of dozens of people.
Wanyan Wu suspected that there were not enough people to buy, so he winked, and the Jurchen Tatars under his tent randomly grabbed some Bohai people and drove them to the middle of the school grounds.
The Jurchen Tatars drove the slaves forward and knocked these people to the ground.
Wanyan Wu Qimai laughed ferociously, put his hand to his mouth, and whistled. Suddenly hundreds of cavalry came on horseback and trampled Gao Yongchang and others into ashes.
The slaves who had no time to dodge were all slashed by the Jurchen Tatars with knives. The scene of blood and flesh spurting out was like an ordinary person removing stones blocking the road. To these Jurchens, they took it lightly.
The cruel laughter spread, accompanied by the sound of wiping the blade, which was very scary.
Now the Jurchens have captured more than a million people, but they have no intention of providing food to feed them. Massacres occurred in every place in the Jin Kingdom.
Yang Pu was dumbfounded, and a cold air rushed to the top of his head. He hugged his little son tightly and covered their eyes.
The ferocious and savage energy that he had never seen before lingered in the bloody campus, making Yang Pu feel dazed for a moment.
