Chapter 1864 The Sword Points at Dongying ([-]) Blunt Knife Kills People, No Edge is the Sharpest

Sacheon, Pingwa Jinglu Xingyuan.

"The emperor wants the Jurchen to move south to Xianjing Road?" Gao Wushi rubbed his chin, frowned slightly, and asked a white-faced and beardless Dongchang Dang in front of him, "Is this the emperor's intention, or the cabinet's suggestion? "

Da Pang respectfully said: "Going back to Lord Marquis is a suggestion from the cabinet, but the emperor seems to be quite moved by it. Of course, what the emperor cares most about is your opinion, so it's okay, let the slaves hold on tight Hurry up and catch up with this grain ship, I have come to ask you for instructions in person."

"Hmm..." Gao Wushi pondered for a moment, and said, "When you went back, you told the emperor that North Korea owns most of the minerals in the entire peninsula, and the reserves are huge, so they must be firmly in my hands, Daming. Therefore, I think Xian Jingdao, Ping'an Road, and Huanghai Road, the three North Korean roads, should not be handed over to Jurchen anyway.

If the emperor thinks that moving the Jurchen south will help to consolidate Liaodong, or even take this as an opportunity to rebuild the Nuer Gandu Division, then I suggest that the three Jurchen departments should be moved further south, and they should be moved south to Gangwon-do and Gyeongsang-do, or even It would be okay to give them the Quanluo Dao. "

Dongchang Dapeng was taken aback and stammered: "Hou, Lord Hou, these are the three provinces in the south of Korea. It is said that the climate is mild and the water source is abundant. There are many good fields.

Not to mention Jeolla-do, which is one of the granaries of North Korea. How can such a rich place be cheap for the Jurchen savages?The Jurchens are nestled in the old forests of Manchuria, and it will be very troublesome for us to suppress them. Once we give them such money and food, it will be difficult if there is any accident in the future! "

"Hahahaha!" Gao Wushi laughed and shook his head: "Do you think letting them hide in the deep mountains and old forests is the best way to suppress them? You are so wrong! Let me tell you, the Jurchens who are nested in the deep mountains and old forests are the most difficult to deal with." Yes, on the contrary, let them go to the so-called rich land in your mouth, and within 20 years, the Jurchens will really have no threat to my Ming Dynasty."

Da Dang was stunned and puzzled, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty's words... Excuse me for my ignorance, it's really hard to understand. I'd like to ask Master Hou to give me some pointers on why, so that I can reply to the Emperor after returning to Beijing."

"Renrou Township is a tomb of heroes." Gao Wushi smiled lightly, but sighed softly for some reason, and said, "Go and tell the emperor, please ask the emperor to recall my views on the decline and fall of the Jin Kingdom when I talked with him about the history of Jin. Presumably the emperor will understand the minister's intention."

"Just this one sentence?" Da Dang was taken aback for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Would you like to add something more, in more detail, Lord Hou?"

"No need, the emperor will understand." Gao Wushi waved his hand.

"Yes, Lord Hou, this servant understands." Da Dang didn't dare to ask again, paused, and asked again: "Does Lord Hou have anything else to say to the emperor?"

Gao Wushi pondered slightly, and said: "Well...you tell the emperor that no matter how many changes in North Korea's political arena, and no matter how many complaints from North Korea the court receives, you only need to answer: "North Korea affairs have been ordered to Pingwa Economic Strategy." Full authority to host'."

"Ah, this, this..." Da Dang couldn't help swallowing, as if his throat was dry, he hesitated and said: "Master Hou, if you say this, I'm afraid the cabinet and the government and the public will have some criticisms..."

"I know." Gao Wushi nodded deeply, but still insisted: "You tell the emperor, just say that after many things have been done, there will inevitably be people in the history who will bear the infamy, but the emperor is the master of my great Ming Dynasty, destined to shine forever. Such a stigma must never be added to one's body.

Before I came to North Korea, I was ready to take responsibility. If someone has to bear the infamy, then let me be pragmatic.After all... such a big infamy, even if it is pushed to other people, there is actually no need to push it. "

Da Dang of Dongchang was greatly shocked when he heard it, and looked at Gao Yushi for a long time with an inexplicable expression, finally took a deep breath, respectfully worshiped and fell to the ground, kowtowed: "There is no more loyal in the world than Lord Hou! What Lord Hou said The servant girl will definitely convey the words to the emperor verbatim, please rest assured, Lord Hou."

Gao Wushi nodded slightly, gently supported Da Dang, and said, "Say hello to Lord Lingang for me by the way."

Da Dang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I understand."

The so-called Lord Lingang is Chen Ju, and Lingang is his name.Although he is no longer directly in charge of Dongchang, since the downfall of Zhang Jing and others, Dongchang has almost no "hostile forces"—at least not on the surface.

In addition, he has maintained a good alliance with Gao Wushi, the first confidant of the emperor, so although he does not care about Dongchang, Dongchang has to actually obey him, so his old department in Dongchang in the past is now also All of them were in a good mood, and today this Da Dang is also Chen Ju's confidant—a confidant who calls Chen Ju his godfather.

After Da Dang left, Gao Wushi ordered Gao Qi, Gao Wuzheng, and Gao Wuruo to come to see him.Not long after, the three of them came to meet together.Gao Wushi didn't talk nonsense, and directly told them the news he had just received, and then asked the three of them to express their opinions.

The younger brother Gao Wuzheng was the first to speak this time, but he did not "express his opinion" immediately, but instead asked: "Brother, when you talked about the history of gold with the emperor, what exactly did you say?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Of course it's about the Kingdom of Jin—especially why the Jin army declined so quickly."

Gao Wuzheng asked in surprise, "Isn't it because the Mongols are too powerful?"

"Do not read on the superficial level and do not seek deep understanding." Gao Yushi said in a slightly instructive tone: "In the last years of King Hailing, the envoys of the Jin and Song Dynasties communicated with each other, and there were often polite bow-shooting banquets between exchanges and banquets. In the bow banquet, the Jurchens who were originally known as "the Jurchens are less than ten thousand and invincible" are often no match for the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty. Do you think this has something to do with the Mongols?"

Gao Wuzheng really didn't know about this kind of thing, so Hao Ran couldn't help bowing, and said: "Brother taught you the lesson, and younger brother knows his mistake."

"Well." Gao Wushi didn't criticize him, but said: "Since you want to know, let me briefly explain the reason." Then Gao Wushi analyzed it for Gao Wuzheng and the others What is "Gentle Township is a Tomb of Heroes".

In 1125 A.D., the Jurchen soldiers led by the general of the Kingdom of Jin broke through Nanjing City of Liao (now Beijing) and captured Emperor Tianzuo of Liao.

In 1127 A.D., the Jin soldiers continued to attack the Northern Song Dynasty with the power of destroying the Liao Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty court was corrupt and incompetent, and inexplicably lost a defensive battle that should have been won, and lost the capital Kaifeng all at once.Afterwards, the north fell completely, and the Song Dynasty went south, which was called "the shame of Jingkang" in history, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

After that, if it wasn't for the heroic resistance of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others in the Jianghuai area in the later period, and the Jin soldiers could not adapt to the dense river network terrain of the Jianghuai area, maybe even the Southern Song Dynasty would have to give it for nothing.

Within three years, the two major powers in East Asia have been wiped out. This powerful emerging power is the Jin Dynasty.The Jurchen who established the Jin Dynasty was originally a vassal tribe of the Liao Dynasty. Beginning in the 12th century, the Liao Dynasty declined and intensified its oppression of the Jurchen tribe. Under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the Jurchens finally chose to stand up and resist.

Soon, Wanyan Aguda unified the Jurchen tribes and established the Jin Dynasty in 1115.But at this time, the Jin Dynasty was actually just a loose tribal alliance, which was far behind Liao and Song.However, it took only less than 15 years for such a new force to dominate northern China. The fighting power of the Jin Dynasty army at that time can be seen!
However, what is quite paradoxical is that only 100 years later, the combat effectiveness of this army that once traversed East Asia has fallen off a cliff.

When facing the Mongolian iron cavalry, the Jin army behaved in a mess, was completely unable to parry, and even came up with a way to deal with it by building the Great Wall——No, although you started out as a fisherman, after defeating the Liao Kingdom, you can be regarded as half a fisherman and a half It's nomadic, why is it using the national defense strategy of the farming nation?

And the battle of Yehuling was even more speechless. The 45 troops of the Jin army were all lost in the first battle, which really shocked the world.Anyone who heard the news couldn't help asking, where did the once powerful Jurchen warrior go?In fact, the answer is simple: no more.

At first, the Jurchens were almost in a primitive society, living in the harsh white mountains and black waters. The Jurchen warriors were naturally fierce. "Dajin Guozhi" recorded them: "Good at riding and shooting, good at fishing and hunting", they are the so-called "vulgar and brave, like fighting, and endure Hungry, thirsty, hard-working, good at riding, going up and down cliffs like flying, crossing the rivers without boats, just floating on horses" is true.

It can be seen that they were very brave fighters at that time, but this kind of bravery was more forced out by the harsh environment of Baishan Heishui.Before the industrial age, without the addition of modern technology, the fierce and organized barbarian army was extremely terrifying. It is precisely because of this that the Jin army destroyed the Liao and Song Dynasties like a smashing bamboo.

However, after the Jingkang Incident, the Kingdom of Jin sought to enrich and prosper the Central Plains, and the situation changed immediately.Since the two puppet regimes of Chu and Qi supported by themselves were not opponents of the Southern Song Dynasty at all, the Jin Dynasty decided to abandon this buffer strategy and directly rule the Central Plains, which also caused a large number of Jurchens to move into the Central Plains.

Obviously, they naturally became the ruling class of this land.At this time, the production capacity of the Central Plains is quite high, and the environment is far more comfortable than the Northeast of Baishan Heishui.There is a large amount of land here, as well as a large number of Han laborers. These people naturally became the property of the Jurchen warriors.

With land and servants, you can live a stable life lying down, so who wants to live a life of licking blood?The Jurchens are slowly deteriorating in this "gentle township". Even if the court orders the Jurchens to work by themselves, this trend cannot be stopped.Next, it is natural that the wind of extravagance and laziness continues to prevail.

There is a record in 1183: each Mokemeng'an household owns an average of 275 acres of land and 2.2 slaves. It can be said that the Jurchen warriors in the Jin Kingdom have completely become landlords and slave owners.These people have lived comfortably for a long time, can they still fight?

Moreover, with the passage of time in the interior, the Sinicization of the Jurchens is inevitable. After one or two generations, these Jurchen descendants lived like young masters and were exposed to Han culture.They sit and enjoy the land rent and live with servants to serve them. As a result, they "do not know how to farm, drink and gamble in groups, and become lazy."

Just as Gao Wushi said just now, only in the last years of King Hailing, the individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty was even inferior to that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and in the period of Jin Xuanzong, the Jurchens were completely "not good at riding and shooting, and not serving in the army". Completely became military waste!

As far as the country is concerned, if the army is not strong, it can only rely on the right time and place, but the geographical situation of the Jin Dynasty is not good. The contradictions among the Han people continued to intensify.Thus, the death knell of the Jin Dynasty gradually sounded like this.

In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty rejected the Jin Dynasty's request for an alliance and united with Mongolia to avenge it. In 1234, the 120-year-old Jin Dynasty collapsed.Although this was actually a stupid move in the Southern Song Dynasty, just as stupid as the alliance with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom, but anyway, this was always the worst news for the Jin Kingdom at that time, and it determined that the Jin Kingdom could not continue to exist.

As for why Gao Yushi is so sure that "Renrou Township is a tomb of heroes", it is not only because Jin and "Houjin" are composed of Jurchens, but the original history has proved that the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchus are the same as their ancestors. As soon as he entered the Huahua World of the Central Plains, the fall came as expected.

Some people in later generations have calculated this rate of decline. The most exaggerated statement is that the Eight Banners of Manchuria entered the customs only ten years ago, and their combat effectiveness dropped by more than one level. The real war depends on the green battalion.

Although the Central Plains is a world of flowers and flowers, the conditions in North Korea are naturally inferior to those in the Central Plains, but according to what Gao Yushi said just now, it is planned to allocate 2-3 roads to the south of North Korea, which is composed of the three Jurchen tribes, and it will be colder than the current Little Ice Age The life of the deadly Northeast is too easy!
Considering that the Jurchen population at this time is much smaller than when they entered the customs in history, and although the North Korean population has lost a lot due to the wars in the past few years, it is still enough for the Jurchens to enslave. Many lands in southern North Korea that the Japanese army had controlled for a long time have become "lands without owners". Once the Jurchens go south, will there be a wave of "staking land"?
After this?As long as Daming can deter them for ten or twenty years, will the Jurchens, who are still considered powerful now, not degenerate into the same parasites in history?

At that time, no matter whether it is Da Ming who directly takes action or secretly tricks the local North Koreans to rebel, in short, there are many ways to solve the so-called Jurchen threat.

At that time, what was there to rely on for the three Jurchen books?Population, technology, combat effectiveness, I am afraid that everything is sparse.If Daming is still willing to let them govern the local area, then they may still be able to be monks for a day. Once Daming is too lazy to pretend and show their cards, then they can only disappear and disappear completely.

As for whether this disappearance was a direct physical disappearance, or whether the independent national consciousness disappeared and was sent to various parts of the Central Plains and assimilated into the Han people, it depends on how the Ming court considered it at that time.In short, everything is beyond their control.

A blunt knife kills, but no edge is the most powerful.
