Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen
In late spring and March, the grass grows and warblers fly, and the earth is full of vitality.
If you are in the south of the Yangtze River, this kind of weather is actually quite annoying. Although the willow wind does not blow your face, there are also catkins, like snow in the clouds, which are sucked into your nostrils and poured into your neck, which is hard to guard against.But outside the Great Wall, the weather is like the autumn season, which is the most refreshing time.
At this time, the prairie is lush with water and grass, lush with trees, and the vegetation coverage is quite broad. It does not have the harsh weather of flying sand and rocks in the later generations, but it is in such a refreshing season. Xiao Chuo, Empress Dowager Liao, was in a very bad mood.
The Liaodong Eagle Road was blocked, and the incidents of successive attacks and killings had already been reported to Shangjing. At first, the prime minister of the North Court thought it was just an ordinary robbery, because in the eyes of the people of Daliao, women were just uncivilized barbarians, cruel and bloodthirsty. , If there is a disagreement, they will fight, there is no order and civilization, just like the Central Plains scholars think of them.
However, such cases were reported one after another, and he began to feel that something was wrong. He robbed the road construction team protected by the army, and the contribution was completely out of proportion to the income. , Will kill all the people on site?He immediately ordered a thorough investigation. In fact, many suspicious points and related evidence have been collected and reported, but the superiors did not pay attention to it, so no one took it seriously.
This time, the Prime Minister of the North Court personally ordered an investigation, and immediately found many doubts. Moreover, according to the news from Liaodong, there has not been a large group of gangs infested recently, and no tribe or other business trips have suffered similar looting. If you dare to be negligent, immediately list all the robbery incidents involving road construction personnel that have occurred since winter, organize them into a book, attach relevant evidence, and report to the Queen Mother.
The mysterious murderers who massacred road construction officers, soldiers, and civilian husbands roared in and out every time, leaving no survivors or wounded soldiers. It was hard to find out their identities. The problem is that someone has tampered with the dead body, and what's even better is that the manipulators are not dirty, they did it.
Xiao Chuo calmed down after being furious, and immediately realized that things were not as simple as they appeared. The straight woman, who had always been loosely organized and scrambled for food among the mountains and rivers, spared no effort to destroy the road leading to Liaodong. What was her intention?Could it be that those ignorant and backward straight women discovered my original purpose of building roads?
Xiao Chuo held his breath, and first asked the Anchegu tribe to conduct a secret investigation based on the evidence. Such a big move, for a tribe, even a large tribe like Anchegu, hundreds of men and women in the tribe Ding has been away for a long time, and it is impossible for no news to leak out, but the news from the tribe is that the young patriarch led hundreds of men to Japan to do business with the Japanese.
The people sent by Xiao Chuo were very careful and investigated the most detailed information before returning to Beijing. Xiao Chuo immediately found some clues from the information. First of all: before last winter, the Anchegu Tribe collected and purchased a large amount of leather goods from various tribes Mountain treasures are exported to Japan, which means that the Anchegu tribe has no stock and needs to be purchased from other tribes.
Secondly, these hundreds of tribal men are all young warriors with superb equestrian skills and excellent archery skills. There is not a single mature and prudent elder or a good-spoken businessman. It is more believable that they go to war.
With the suspects locked in, there are many things about this tribe's development of maritime trade routes, annexation of the Wanyan tribe, and many things to conquer other tribes, especially the alliance between the Anchegu tribe and the women's straight tribes, which stipulated that the tribes should not have private relationships. The simple laws such as vendetta and not to plunder other people's property made Xiao Chuo secretly startled.
The Jurchens had no laws before, and the laws now enacted are actually very rough. It can only be said that it is a unified agreement of the tribal alliance, but Xiao Chuo, who is familiar with scriptures and history, especially the development history of grassland tribes, knows that this It is the first step in the establishment of a country. It is not terrible for straight women to be brave and good at fighting. What is terrible is that they have discipline and order, and then they will develop their own civilization system.
The Anchegu tribe already knew how to get rid of the economic shackles of the Song and Liao Dynasties, opened up trade routes in other ways, knew how to unite the tribes and establish laws, and knew that the completion of the Eagle Road meant that the Daliao had more direct and effective control over the territory of the female straight people, and Decisively show courage to destroy, which made Xiao Chuo immediately feel their potential threat.
A tribe that only knows how to slash and kill will never be successful, but when a tribe learns to think, and starts to find ways to strengthen itself and suppress the enemy, it is qualified to become an opponent.It's just that Xiao Chuo still doesn't know that the person who really revitalized the Anchegu tribe is the young patriarch Zhu Lizhen, which is also normal. , and then his father, Prieter, gave the orders. In the eyes of outsiders, the outstanding figure of this female straight is naturally Prieter.
Xiao Chuo's immediate reaction was to immediately send troops to attack the Anchegu tribe. She knew that the Anchegu tribe was only qualified for ZTE and had no strength to compete with Daliao. The wounds caused by years of fighting, trying to restore vitality, hastily raised troops, must be decentralized, and her adjustment of the army has not been completely completed, if she has to, she doesn't want to give up halfway through everything she is gradually implementing.
So Xiao Chuo came up with a plan. First, he ordered the leader of the Anchegu tribe, Pu Lite, to go to Beijing to apologize on the grounds that the tribute was frivolous and insulting to the country. , the people headed by Zhu Lizhen resolutely opposed the patriarch to go to Beijing. The radical young faction only felt that in these days, they used one hand to favor and the other to exert pressure. , and the meaning of a victory.The old-fashioned and prudent faction suggested that the leader pretend to be sick and procrastinate, and in short, never go to Beijing.
But Ann Chegu Puli Te rejected all these suggestions.The Jurchens at that time were not strong enough, and the Liao Kingdom at that time was not in a period of decay and decline. In the eyes of the Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom still had absolute political authority and military deterrence. No matter how arrogant the Jurchens were, they would not dare to use eggs Hit the stones, even if the son Zhu Lizhen and the Shiwei leader Bayar have secretly reached an offensive and defensive alliance.
The most important thing is that Prieter saw the hope of the Jurchens and the future of the Jurchens in his son. Although he is not a hero with great talent and boldness, it does not affect the vision that an old patriarch should have. Everything he was in caused his tribe to undergo rapid changes. Even the feuding Wanyan tribe was completely defeated by them. He believed that if this momentum continued, through the unremitting efforts of his son and grandson, one day, his daughter Real people can also control their own destiny and lead their own lives, and will no longer be oppressed by Liao people and Han people.
But not now, turning against the Liao Kingdom now may ruin all of this.
Therefore, Pu Lite resisted all opinions and went to Beijing to plead guilty with a large number of cattle and sheep, delicacies of mountains and seas, Beizhu, Haidongqing and other valuable tributes. The actions can be said to be very secretive, and the location of the action is within the territory of the tribes of the Five Kingdoms. There are hundreds of tribes of Jurchens, large and small, and the Liao people did not find them so accurately. It has nothing to do with being destroyed, but to discover the rise of the Anchegu tribe and want to squeeze a fortune from them.
What Pulitzer thought was reasonable, but he would never have imagined that the revitalization and rise of the Anchegu tribe benefited from the help of Zhe Ziyu, a female Zhuge, and their disaster also came from Zhe Ziyu's calculations. Success is also Ziyu, and failure is also Ziyu.
Zhe Ziyu made this move unintentionally at the beginning, but he only considered that his sweetheart could stand on his own and survive in the cracks between the two great powers of Song and Liao. It would be beneficial for Yang Hao's development to create more external restraints for these great powers. But her captivity prompted Yang Hao to seize Xiaoguan in anger, so all plans were forced to advance, and this trick of Fuqi had to be used in advance.
As for the fact that using this move at this time may make the Anchegu tribe a pawn crossing the river, and if one comes and never returns, then it is not in Zhe Ziyu's consideration.No matter how merciful and fraternal people are, there is a limit, not to mention that this girl is not a living Bodhisattva who is compassionate and merciful. She only thinks about her own relatives, and those who offend her, she is Asura. When Asura is angry, the red lotus is on fire The sky will destroy the earth, let the fish in your pond die!
As soon as Pulitzer arrived in Beijing, he was immediately put under house arrest. After several interrogations and torture, Pulitzer refused to tell the truth. With conclusive evidence, he was about to attack his tribe. He was afraid that his son would be caught with a slap in the face, so he bumped his head to death on the public case during the public trial.
Someone from the Anchegu Tribe secretly followed Pu Lite to Beijing, always paying attention to the safety of the patriarch. When the patriarch was killed, he couldn't help being heartbroken, and immediately left Shangjing on a horse to report to Zhu Lizhen.
When Xiao Chuo got the news of Pulitzer's death, he knew that there was no good way to solve the problem of the Anchegu tribe and Yinglu at the least cost, and now he could only resort to a single battle.
She is a woman's husband who can afford to let go, and she did not punish the presiding judge, and immediately ordered: send troops to attack the Nuzhi'an Chegu tribe.
As soon as Pulitzer died, Zhu Lizhen succeeded to the throne and became the patriarch. The Anchegu tribe has become the world of the Young Zhuang faction. Bullying and exploiting Jurchen's various crimes, to face the Liao people and avenge his father, his spirit is a bit like Nurhaci's Seven Great Haters swore to defeat Ming.
The Jurchen tribes lingered for many years under the despotic power of the Liao people. The Liao people seized their property and raped their wives and daughters. He offered his beautiful wife to the Liao envoy for lust, but was slandered as a rebel, led troops to pacify his tribe, flogged him to death, and threw him into the dog pen for food.The Jurchens have hated the Liao Kingdom for a long time. Although there are a few tribal leaders who are timid and cowardly, they dare not respond, but for most tribes, Zhulizhen's declaration seems to be thrown on dry wood that has been poured with oil. A torch, the raging fire of revenge began to burn.
The battle between Daliao and Nvzhi began in the warm spring of this year...
"Ziyu, just ask me to take a look, I'll just take a look, just take a look." Tang Yanyan chased Zhe Ziyu, which made Zhe Ziyu angry and funny. She protected her belt and said angrily, "What are you looking at? I'm only two months old, so I can't see it at all." "Don't call me down, it's rare!" Tang Yanyan snorted. Beside them, the princesses were teasing their children while watching the quarreling couple with a smile on their faces. The time has come to the middle of May, Miaomiao and Doll are about to give birth, Tang Yanyan finally managed to conceive after dominating the harem and bullying Yang Haoda for many days, two months earlier than when Zhe Ziyu officially entered the palace, and now she is already pregnant. I am five months pregnant.She didn't know who told her that if a pregnant woman's belly is pointed, she will give birth to a boy, and if it is round, she will give birth to a girl. In fact, Wawa and Miaomiao are about to give birth, but she doesn't care if the two concubines have a boy or a girl, she just wants to say goodbye to Zhe Ziyu.They are all intelligent women, even if they are Yanyan, they are just rough-tempered, they are not stupid people, since they have become their own sisters, they also know that they must not fight secretly, let alone Yang Hao There is bound to be boredom there, even the big sister Dong'er can't pass the test there, and they live in peace with each other, and after a long time, their feelings for each other are deeper than other princesses. After all...they knew each other when they were still young girls , and their backgrounds are relatively similar, so there is nothing to say. However, she still had the desire to win. Yanyan really wanted to have a son earlier than Ziyu, so she felt proud, but her belly was round, so she became nervous. If Ziyu's belly was also round, then she Don't worry, everyone will give birth to a girl, and then compare again.But... Looking at Zhe Ziyu's still slender waist, Yanyan couldn't help feeling discouraged. Now that her belly is flat, even if she was willing to take off her clothes, she might not be able to see anything. Zhu Yun on the side smiled and said: "Sister Yanyan just caress about giving birth to her own, why must you cling to sister Ziyu, if you want to compare with sister Ziyu, I am afraid you will lose, you don't look at the big sister Zhe's sons one after another, Now she is pregnant again, if she is still a son, Yang Shangshu's family will have seven sons, Mrs. Yang is Ziyu's sister's sister, so how can a younger sister be worse?" "Hum hum!" Tang Yanyan's teeth itch with hatred: "Little fairy, who are you? Don't forget that the three leaders of Feiyu Suifeng back then, the two of us and Xiaoyi shared weal and woe. If you want to speak for her, what good has she promised you?" Zhe Ziyu made a grimace and said, "She and I are in Bianliang, but we have been friends through life and death." The baby hid her mouth and snickered, and joked: "Do you even need to ask? Ziyu is pregnant, so she can't serve the lord, and the officials only favor Zhu Yun. Isn't she grateful for Dade? Look at her now, every day It has peach blossoms on its face, spring in the corners of its brows and eyes, and I don’t know how to have fun in my boudoir.” Zhu Yun immediately blushed, stamped her feet in embarrassment: "Sister Wa'er came to make arrangements to make fun of me again, how could it be like what you said, last night... Last night, the official stayed in Sister Nvying's room." Miaomiao was sitting upright, coughing and said: "Well, I can testify that the official did indeed stay in sister Nvying's room last night..." Zhu Yun was very proud: "It's still Miaomiao and honest." Nvying said in shame: "You talk about yours, why did it come to me again?" Miao Miao continued: "However..., Sister Zhu Yun also lives in Sister Nvying's room." Dong'er burst out laughing after hearing "Puchi", and said dizzily, "Officials... Officials are always so absurd." Among the concubines, only Dong'er was the only one. Yang Hao respected and loved her, and knew that she was shy by nature and couldn't accept the flirtatious flamboyance of the crowd, so he was never so absurd in her room. Zhu Yun glared at Miaomiao, and snorted: "Forget it, forget it, whoever told me to come in late, you can make fun of me if you want to. Actually... Actually, I really want to get pregnant with an official's child sooner... ..." Thinking of what Yang Hao said to her, "How many children can be born, and how long can be born." Zhu Yun felt a burst of sweetness and joy in her heart, but she didn't care about other people's teasing at all. At this time, someone coughed and said with a smile: "If Zhu Yun is also pregnant at this time, then I, the king, don't have a lot of beauties like flowers and jade, but don't you want to eat it?" ?” Following the sound, Yang Hao turned out. "Officer..." All the beauties stood up and saluted him, Wa'er smiled and said: "The official said it is so pitiful, isn't there still two beautiful beauties serving the official?" Yang Hao glanced at Dong'er and Nvying with a smile, and Nvying spat lightly with a dazed face, but didn't speak.It turned out that these two ladies belonged to the type of overly sensitive physique, and they couldn't stand Yang Hao's open and closed attacks at all. Even if they used the Kun Dao casting tripod, it would be difficult for Yang Hao to enjoy himself, but Yang Hao The more profound the inner strength, the more vigorous the demand for intercourse. If it weren't for the bamboo rhyme of "not afraid of death", these two beauties would really not be able to meet Yang Hao's needs. A few women were sitting together just now, chatting and laughing casually, Donger Yanyan smiled and didn't feel anything, but when her husband arrived here, even though he was a man who shared the same bed and a good husband and wife, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Sure enough, he changed the subject and said, "Okay, ok, the more you say it, the more absurd it becomes. The children are still playing over there, and it's ridiculous for them to hear it." Yang Hao glanced at it, and saw Yang Shan and his younger siblings fishing for toads by the pond. Yang Jia was wearing crotch pants, holding a small bamboo pole with a fishing line and hook in his hand, running around, chattering, probably The fact that there was a toad scared him away long ago, and several palace daughters followed behind him nervously, for fear that the little ancestor would fall into the pond. Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's okay, what do they know?" Seeing that he was returning to the palace at this hour, Zhe Ziyu knew that there must be something wrong, so he asked, "Why did the officials leave court so early today and return to the palace?" Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's not that I want to come back, but someone came to the door, named him, and wanted to see my fifth son, so Yang Hao had no choice but to act as an errand messenger himself, just to take a break and take a break .” Zhe Ziyu said in surprise, "See me? Who wants to see me?" With a flash of inspiration in his heart, Zhe Ziyu suddenly realized: "Ah! Could it be Liaodong...?" Yang Hao nodded and said, "That's right, it's Liaodong who came here." Zhe Ziyu rolled his eyes, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So, Jiulue can be officially launched?" Yang Hao nodded solemnly: "That's right, Jiu Lue, Jiu Lue, I just hope it won't be for the sake of the mountain." Zhezi Yubai glanced at him and said, "Why can't ninety-nine return to one?" She lightly brushed off her clothes, straightened her waist and said, "I'm going to see him!"
"Ziyu, just ask me to take a look, I'll just take a look, just take a look." Tang Yanyan chased Zhe Ziyu, which made Zhe Ziyu angry and funny. She protected her belt and said angrily, "What are you looking at? I'm only two months old, so I can't see it at all." "Don't call me down, it's rare!" Tang Yanyan snorted.
