Chapter 24 Chapter 5 Jurchen founding a country

Aguda showed extraordinary bravery when he was young, and his father, Hulibo, pinned the hopes of the entire Jurchen nation on him.However, to realize Jurchen's dream of establishing a country, it is not enough to rely on bravery alone.So, what amazing performances does Aguda have in other aspects when he grows up? Taizu Aguda was not only personally brave, but also a good leader in battle.During his elder brother Kangzong's reign, Aguda was basically responsible for the wars with neighboring tribes. Aguda once went to conquer the Liuke tribe, which was also a small tribe, and passed by a small town called Uta.According to our current understanding, this city is a small village with a door built of wood, shabby and simple.When passing by this small town, A Guda asked his subordinates to bury the pot to make food, and then sent him to stay in Kebu when they were full.The people in Uta City saw that A Guda had a pot, so they rushed out and snatched the pot from A Guda.Because the Jurchen tribe cites iron as a treasure, people in Wuta City may have no pots and can only eat barbecue every day. When Aguda has pots, they will grab them when they come out.The pot was taken away, but the subordinates were all hungry. A Guda pointed at the people in Wuta City with a whip and said, I will kill all the staff in a while, and I will ask you for the pot when I come back.The Uta people thought he was joking, you guys are all hungry, and you can wipe out all of them in a while?You can talk about it in three months, when the pot will belong to us.Ah Guda led the hungry soldiers and left.In less than half a day, Agu came back, and we had already wiped out the Liuke Department, so we returned the pot to us.In just a short time, they starved and wiped out a tribe.The Uta people were terrified, and the leader put his head on the pot, went out of the city respectfully, and knelt in front of Aguda.Aguda has a high status in the Jurchen tribe, and was conferred the title of "Xianwen" by the Liao Dynasty, which means "Ling Gong" in Chinese.The city lord of Wuta City knelt in front of A Gu Dama with the pot on his head and said, slaves dare not destroy things that are stable. Your old man has tested it. I didn't dare to use your pot at all, and I have been offering it in front of the ancestral tablet.It can be seen that Aguda not only has outstanding personal martial arts skills, but also is absolutely good at leading troops in battle and commanding the army.

Aguda is not only capable of martial arts, but also capable of writing, and has a good ability to govern the country (there was no country at that time, and they were all tribes). "Kangzong's seven years, the age is not listed." ("Jinshi Taizu Benji") In the seventh year of Kangzong Wu Yashu's reign, there was a famine, no crops grew, the people were displaced, and some people became robbers.At this time, there were senior figures in the tribe who advocated severe punishment, and those who caught grabbing things were killed.There are too many robbers, if you don't kill a few, it's not enough to deter the robbers, you must crack down!At this time, Aguda came forward to dissuade, "It is not allowed to kill people with wealth. The rich are also caused by people" ("Jinshi Taizu Benji").Lao Tzu said: "Do not value hard-to-find goods, so that people will not be stolen." ("Lao Tzu") If you don't take gold and silver as treasures, no one will steal gold and silver.Aguda said that he must not be killed just because he robbed something.How to deal with it?The tribe passed a resolution that anyone who snatches something will be repaid three times after being caught.You have to repay the person who was robbed with something worth three times as much as your life.This is much easier than beheading someone after grabbing something.But you think, does he want money so as to rob it?So you asked him to pay it back three times, isn't that a joke?What if I have no money to pay back?Only by selling my wife and children, my house is empty, only my wife and children can be sold, and nothing else can be sold at a price.As a result, the people of the tribe were scattered.At this time, Aguda stepped forward again and told his brother Wu Yashu that he must never do this again.So, they convened the elders of the tribe to discuss the matter.After everyone discussed a result, Aguda stood outside the room, tied a silk strip to the top of the scepter, and called everyone together like a command flag, and said to everyone: "Today the poor can't live on their own, and they sell their wives to pay off their debts. Flesh and blood The love of love is the same as the hearts of the people. Don’t levy it in three years from now, but Xu Tuzhi in three years.” ("Jinshi Taizu Benji") Now the poor can't live, so they sell their wives to pay off their debts.Lovers of flesh and blood have the same heart, who can feel better after selling their wife and children?So from now on, tax will be exempted for three years. After three years, our economy will recover here and the famine will be over.In this way, everyone listened to the order, those who heard it wept, and returned to their hearts from far and near. Various tribes came to join the Wanyan Department one after another, and the Wanyan Department basically completed the unification of the entire Jurchen.

After suppressing Xiao Haili's rebellion, Aguda advised his uncle Yingge to forbid all ministries to set up their own tokens, and all the tokens of Wanyan's department should be the main ones.Because the Jurchens have no words, they rely on tokens to prove that this is what the great chief said.Therefore, once the ministries are dominated by the tokens of the Wanyan Division, the Wanyan Division can actually command the Jurchen ministries.
