Chapter 1548 Shiwei Jurchen's battle ends, clansmen have no privileges

Outside the Huanglong Mansion in the northeast, in the Tieli area that was unknown to most people in the court, the "conflict" between the Shiwei people and the Wanyan Jurchen finally came to an end with a not-so-surprising result .

The news came in late June, when Tokyo entered the hottest season. Facts have proved that the deduction between Emperor Liu and his son has pushed a loneliness.

The battle situation was basically not based on their deduction, there were no clever strategies, no strategic considerations, and the process was not so thrilling, and even seemed unpretentious.

The disadvantage of a long battle is the same for both Shiwei and Jurchen. Even if it is just a tribal conflict in the eyes of the Han soldiers, it will have a huge impact on the tribes struggling to make a living in the Northeast. Impact of nomadic production.

The people of Shiwei did not storm Tieli city in a feverish manner, but stepped up their search and encirclement of the Jurchen cavalry cruising outside, which put enormous pressure on Wanyan Bahai.

When half of Shiwei's soldiers and horses were transferred from Tieli City, Wanyan Bahai finally carried out a tactical transfer, leaving more than [-] soldiers as suspects to continue to attract the attention of Shiwei's army, and made a move to the west of Shiwei. The Wei tribe was in an attack situation, while Wanyan Bahai concentrated all the remaining cavalry to hide.

There are less than 4000 people, but Wanyan Jurchen has the most capable and basically fully armed army, and it is also the family property of Wanyan Jurchen.Led by Wanyan Bahai himself, he quickly turned in and attacked Tieli City again, launching a blow that would sink the boat.

However, this time, Tie Li City was controlled by the Jurchens, and the Shiwei people miscalculated again. Of course, there were precautions, but in the face of this sudden attack and the dilemma of the Jurchen's internal and external attacks, staying in Tie Li The Shiwei people on the outskirts of the city were still in chaos.

However, in this battle, it was not easy for the Jurchens to fight. Even if the strength of the Jurchens was halved, they were still better than the Jurchens who were attacking. The initiative of the battle is controlled from beginning to end.

The Battle of Tieli City was probably the largest war that took place in the Northeast after the Han army pacified Huanglong Mansion, and it ended in the victory of the Jurchens.

The Shiwei people outside Tieli City failed to resist and scattered westward. The Jurchens took the opportunity to chase and wipe out, expanding the results of the battle, and achieved more than [-] harvests, and seized thousands of horses and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock.

But at the same time, the price paid by the Jurchens was not small. A bloody battle resulted in nearly [-] casualties. At the same time, the remaining suspicious soldiers were also under the joint attack of the two divisions of Tulubu Shiwei and Nesanagu in the west. , fell into a tight siege, and ended up in a ruined end.

However, with the end of the Battle of Tie Li City, the war between Shiwei and Jurchen was temporarily over.The two sides have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and both soldiers are exhausted, unable to fight any more, and urgently need to recuperate.

This can be seen as Wanyan Nuzhen's challenge to Tulubu Shiwei and Nie Cinagu. Judging from the results, Wanyan Nuzhen is really victorious, at least successfully snatching the piece of meat from Shiwei's population. , the basic goal of the war was achieved.

But in the same way, a battle does not mean the end, but the beginning of more inspiring confrontation and hatred between the two sides.The Shiwei people will not be reconciled, they have suffered heavy losses, and no one can predict what kind of revenge they will take next after being angered.

For Wanyan Jurchen, how to deal with the next round of counterattack by the Shiwei people is even more critical.Shiwei people are not easy to fight, this is obvious, the Wanyan Department has prepared for so long and racked their brains to win a heavy victory.During the Battle of Tieli, Wanyan Bahai lost two of his sons, and even himself almost died.

It is precisely because of paying a heavy price that one cannot give up what one has obtained.As for how to deal with the still powerful Shiwei people, leaving aside other matters for the time being, one thing is very clear, it still depends on the court.

Therefore, immediately after the victory in the Battle of Tieli City, while busy stabilizing the hard-won situation, Wanyan Bahai had carefully selected a group of good horses from the captured horses, and sent envoys to the south, Reporting to the Liaodong government for help, while planning to go to Beijing, hoping to get the continued support of the court.

I have to say that the Wanyan Jurchen in this era is really humble.

In contrast, Emperor Liu's attitude towards the Battle of Tieli was much more indifferent, and his reaction was very flat. He just passed an edict to let Ma Renyu be more vigilant and ensure the peace of Liaodong.

Of course, in Emperor Liu's heart, the result of Wanyan Jurchen's going north is still acceptable. The Shiwei people have obviously been severely injured, and the Jurchens have paid a big price. No matter how the process is, the result is still in line with his wishes. Yes, at least not in his original intention.

However, he still listened to the suggestions of the big Han officials, and he also thought more about the future direction of the Northeast.It seems that it is really not suitable for big men to engage in balance and so on, and there is no need for that.

Of course, before the imperial court clarifies the next policy direction, it is still necessary to continue to stir up tribal disputes and let them internal friction.It is obvious that the weaker the various ethnic groups are, the more beneficial they are to the court.

"I see Your Majesty!" Xu Wang Liu Chengyun entered the hall to pay homage.

Emperor Liu was concentrating on practicing his calligraphy. Hearing the sound, he raised his eyes and saw King Xu, with a smile on his face, and he waved to him: "Brother Yun, don't be rude, come, let's see how I write this calligraphy?"

Liu Chengyun approached, pretended to appreciate it, and then spit out a series of compliments very naturally, for which Emperor Liu was naturally very happy.

Let others appreciate it, isn't it just listening to good words, even if it is a naked compliment.Of course, Emperor Liu's handwriting is still a little level, but it's hard to say how good it is. At least, he inherited the style of the late calligraphy master Yang Ning.

Putting down his pen, he beckoned Liu Chengyun to sit down and serve tea inside. Emperor Liu looked at him and asked, "Brother Yun, you are a rare visitor here! If you are free, you should come more. It would be nice to talk with me!" "

"Yes!" Liu Chengyun laughed along, very submissive and cautious, but he didn't take it seriously.Even Liu Chengxun, the king of Yong, did not dare to run too hard, let alone his de facto cousin.

"I'm here, I have something to report!" Liu Chengyun quickly talked about the business.

"Say it!" Emperor Liu said mildly.

Liu Chengyun was careful with his company, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jun wrote a letter saying that he is in poor health and embarrassing government affairs. I hope he can return to Beijing to recuperate for a while."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was referring to Liu Chengjun.In recent years, Emperor Liu has promoted many clan relatives to serve in local areas. The cousin Liu Chengjun is more representative. He has been working in Lingnan for these years.

Listening to his intention, he frowned subconsciously, and said: "If that's the case, how can the imperial court be sympathetic if you directly report to the official department, why did you find you and report through you?"

Emperor Liu spoke plainly, but Liu Chengyun couldn't help being slightly startled by the skepticism revealed in his words, hesitated for a while, and didn't know how to answer these words for a while.

Liu Chengyun didn't expect that Emperor Liu's focus would be on this. At the same time, he sighed silently in his heart that Emperor Liu was still strict with their clans.

Compared with Liu Chengyun's heavy and complicated mood, Emperor Liu thought more about it. He felt that Liu Chengjun's behavior like this was still a manifestation of his desire for privileges because he was still holding on to his clan status.He even doubted whether Liu Chengjun was really sick. He just wanted to leave Lingnan and return to the capital as an excuse.

Thinking this way in my heart, my face returned to calm and breezy, looked at Xu Wang who bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "However, since Brother Yun has come forward, I will always save face and ask him to write a memorial and submit it to the official department Let's go! Since you're not feeling well, let's have a good time and make arrangements for it!"

"Yes!" Liu Chengyun buried his head even lower, and he vaguely understood what Emperor Liu meant.

Obviously, Emperor Liu was dissatisfied with Liu Chengjun finding him directly, and the result was that he agreed to recuperate due to illness, but it was not up to Liu Chengjun to decide when to recuperate, it depended on Emperor Liu's will.

Perhaps, it will be raised until death!And thinking of these, Liu Chengyun's mood suddenly became heavy, and he couldn't help regretting that he was still reckless.

In the final analysis, it was because of Emperor Liu's attitude of relaxing restrictions on the clansmen over the years.It can be seen from this incident that Emperor Liu never thought of giving them special treatment beyond ordinary ministers while using the clan members to serve as officials to consolidate the Liu family.

And these people, except for the surname Liu, are not much different from the bureaucrats in the Han court, at least in the eyes of Emperor Liu.
