Chapter 100 Section 3 Non-Resistance Policy

The Jurchen tribe couldn't bear the rule of the Liao Kingdom, so under the leadership of the leader Wanyan Aguda, they rebelled against the Liao Dynasty.In 1115 A.D., Wanyan Aguda became the emperor, and the name of the country was Jin, which was called the Kingdom of Jin in history.So, why did Wanyan Aguda set the country title as gold?What is the mystery in this? At the succession ceremony, Aguda said to the ministers: "The name of Liao is Bintie, whichever is firmer." hard. "Although iron is strong, it will eventually deteriorate, but gold will not change." ("History of Gold" Volume 2) So our country is called Dajin, he is iron, we are gold, gold can overcome iron, we will destroy him up.Aguda proclaimed himself emperor, that is, Jin Taizu, who took over the country under the reign title.

The founding of Jurchen is tantamount to openly fighting Liao.Under such circumstances, Emperor Tianzuo launched an army to conquer gold, sending 700,000 soldiers from all over the country. Of course, this is an imaginary number, and there must be 200,000 to 300,000 in reality.At that time, there were only 10,000 to 20,000 Jurchen soldiers, a ten to one disadvantage.But Emperor Tianzuo's army hadn't set off yet, news came from the country that there was a rebellion, someone wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and Emperor Tianzuo wanted to return to his teacher to quell the rebellion.When Jin inquired about the internal instability of the Liao Kingdom, he immediately took the initiative to attack, and Emperor Tianzuo's hundreds of thousands of troops were almost wiped out.Emperor Tianzuo was worthy of being a professional hunter, with good health and excellent equestrian skills. He galloped for more than 500 miles a day on horseback and escaped from danger, but the hundreds of thousands of horses were an excuse.If it were to be replaced by the emperor of the Central Plains, he would probably have been captured alive. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom deserved to be the son of heaven immediately.Through this escape, Emperor Tianzuo got the benefit of running away. This matter is easy to solve. If Jin hits me, I will run away. To Baigou, a large country with a territory of thousands of miles, as long as I run to a place where the Jurchens can't find me, I will be safe and I can continue hunting.Why should I compete with the Jurchens? The Jurchens are too powerful. I am a hunter, not a fighter. I can't fight the Jurchens. I can shoot and kill wild animals. Isn't this resentment vented?Just treat this deer as Aguda and that deer as Wu Qimai.So I have to run. If you go to the Northeast, I will go to Inner Mongolia. If you go to Inner Mongolia, I will go to Hebei. If you go to Hebei, I will go to Shanxi. I can also hunt along the way, and I can go to any hunting ground that I have never been to.Emperor Tianzuo completely forgot about the country and society of his ancestors who lived in the wind and rain and worked hard, and ran away all day long.

The Jurchens approached step by step, and Emperor Tianzuo ordered the officials in the capital to prepare two thousand horses that could run three to five hundred miles a day, pack the gold and silver treasures in the palace, put them in five hundred bags, and prepare to run away.While running, he proudly told the people around him: "If the Jurchen will come, I will travel three hundred and fifty miles a day, and I will be brothers with the Song Dynasty, and Xia Guo's uncle and nephew. They can return, and they will not lose their lives." Wealth and wealth. Those who worry, the army and the people will suffer." ("Khitan Kingdom Records" Volume 10) Jurchen is nothing to be afraid of. I can run three to five hundred miles a day with a few horses, and I and Song are brothers, and the alliance of Chanyuan Later, Song Liao was my brother, Song Huizong was my elder brother, and Emperor Xixia was my nephew. I can go wherever I want.I went to Song Dynasty, can my brother not meet me?I ran to Xia, would my nephew dare not want me?I have brought so many treasures and so many horses with me. Wherever I go, I am popular and drink spicy food. I am a master everywhere. I am not afraid.Why don't I resist?I am just worried that as long as there is resistance, the army and the people will suffer.We can't beat the Jurchens. Once you resist, the big knife will come up and your head will fall off. I really don't resist because I love the people.

After hearing this, the knowledgeable people at that time said, "Privately said: 'The Liao Dynasty is dead! Since ancient times, there has been no one who abandoned the army and the people to make a living for himself. Can he enjoy the country?'" ("Khitan Kingdom Records" volume 10) The Liao Kingdom is doomed. Since ancient times, I have never heard of a monarch who abandons the people of Li and only thinks about himself. This country must be doomed.Emperor Tianzuo not only did not resist, but also did not deal with the defeated generals.He felt that if I dealt with these generals, I would push them back.I don't care if you win the battle, because I don't want to take the initiative to fight against the Jin army, and I don't care if you lose the battle, the victory or defeat is up to you.The anti-golden war in the Liao Kingdom lost its unified deployment, and the troops fought independently. Wherever they met the Jin army, they would fight. I don't know which mountain to hunt in, and no one will deal with you if you lose.In this case, the combat effectiveness of the generals of the Liao army tended to collapse.They said: "If you fight, you will die without success, if you retreat, you will live without crime." ("The History of Liao Emperor Tianzuo Benji 1") Then why should I continue to fight? .The emperor has already run away, why don't I follow?Therefore, the soldiers of the Liao army will no longer have fighting spirit.Back then, the people on horses who lived in Pingling Mountain in Wuwu, now scattered like birds and beasts when they saw the dust raised by the horseshoes of the Golden Army.
