For example, Shi Mobedie'er and others have been fighting fiercely in northern Xinjiang for many years, and now they have become wild beasts. They are also beasts with sharp teeth and bloody teeth that can bite.
Jatta Rahun was different.
Before he defected to Mongolia, he was the hereditary governor of Jeju. The so-called "Thousand Households of Defense" refers to the commanders of Jurchen military households and military villages who have been signed into the military for a long time.
The Jurchens' Meng'an Muke system itself is the integration of military and political affairs. The reason why there are still military households specially signed for military registration is because in recent years, many lower-class Jurchens have been poor and unable to support themselves, so the court had to grant military status and allocate land for farming.
From the standpoint of the imperial court, this move was called signing an army, but it was actually like a relief effort. Therefore, although these officers who guard thousands of households use the titles of Meng'an and Mouke, they are low-level military positions without professional titles. It is not until they retire in old age that they can be awarded middle and lower martial arts ranks in the name of "service". The highest level is only the seventh rank, which is far from the chief officers who have moved inland to Anmouke.
The imperial court did this out of consideration, but these officers who guarded thousands of households were naturally unwilling to do so. They were unable to resist the imperial court, so they could only try their best to squeeze the Jurchen military households under their subordinates, relying on them to farm or provide support, and Make money for your family.
For example, Jiata Lahun's ancestors had been sitting on fertile land in the local area for several generations and became rich and powerful. During the Taihe period, he went south with the army and fought several battles with the Song Dynasty. He did not suffer any losses, but he also gained nothing. When the Mongolian army reached Jeju, he surrendered without any resistance at all.
In the past month, others have followed the Mongolian nobles to take care of them, and they have also offered a lot of gold and silver, and even used the beauties in the family as bargaining chips. But the Mongols did not take him seriously. Those savage and ferocious wolves will only respect the same ferocious beasts, and the sheep, no matter how good they are at flattering, are just food.
For this reason, Jata Lahun was very worried. He knew that he must fight and perform meritorious service as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later he would be regarded as useless garbage by the Mongols.
However, where does power come from?
Taking advantage of the dispatch of reinforcements from Laizhou, Jiata Lahun finally suppressed the surrender of Zhao Jin and Yang Wan from northern Xinjiang. However, after completing this task, he immediately discovered that he wanted to be a dog for the Mongols. It's not that easy.
What Jiata Lahun was thinking about was barking, forcing Zhao Yan, Yang Wan and others to charge forward. But the idea of the Mongolian nobles is very simple. Whichever dog barks the loudest should bear the heavy responsibility.
And because of the Mongolians' tenacity and resistance to war, the combat missions they proposed were often extremely difficult.
For example, this time, Jiata Lahun has to make a long-distance attack, passing through most of Yidu Prefecture where the Jin Army is stationed everywhere, and finally has to deal with the powerful general Guo Ning, the military governor of the Navy, under the city of Yidu!
this……
Doesn't it mean that this "four-way chief security officer" position is just a guide? How did you become a pioneer? If I, Jata Lahun, had this ability and was such a capable general, how could I not just be a rich man with the title of guarding thousands of households in the Kingdom of Jin?
Jatarakhun didn't react at the time. After returning to the camp, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was simply trembling.
However, when the Mongolian nobles gave the order, there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, and they could only be forced to do it, and those who did not want to do it were easily served by the Mongolians with swords and axes, and they would not show any mercy.
Jatarakhun must send troops, and he can only send troops.
That night he urged the troops to set off and rode the horse all night. His legs were almost worn out by the saddle and he was so tired that he felt dizzy. The soldiers under his command were even more exhausted and complained endlessly. On the way, there were at least 200 or 30 people who fled under the cover of night. Jata Lahun captured five or six of them, beheaded them in public, and urgently issued a military pay to boost their morale.
After marching for dozens of miles, it was early morning the next day, at the beginning of the month.
Thousands of men and horses took a short rest, and then swam across the Zi River with ropes wrapped around their waists, bypassing Linzi City where the Jin army gathered heavy troops.
Although Jata Lahun repeatedly ordered Xianmei to keep his voice low, his soldiers were used to being lax. They made noisy noises while lining up, and made a splash when crossing the water, which finally alerted the defenders in the city.
Only a shrill cry was heard in the silent night sky, and the Jin Army camp behind the continuous barrier roared like a disturbed hornet's nest. Countless soldiers and horses were shouting and mobilizing inside, and the lights were lit like stars.
Jatarakhun felt cold all over for a moment.
Jiata Lahun's headquarters has about a thousand people, and has recently received hundreds of surrendered troops from Hebei East Road, totaling more than 1,500. Among them, nearly 30% are armored elites and there are more than 200 war horses. It is considered a quite powerful army.
But after all, he was a Jurchen who had been in Shandong for a long time. Wanyan Salara, the military envoy of Shandong, was his boss seventeen or eighteen ranks higher than him, so he still had some power. If Wanyan Sala led nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses from the city to charge out, he really wouldn't know how to resist the enemy!
Fortunately, the Jin army was just noisy and did not move out.
Screams were heard one after another in the city, and they were loud and scary. But if you listen carefully, you can see that there is a hint of panic in the shouts. There were vague figures of defenders on the city wall, but the vast majority of them clung to the crenellated walls and did not dare to show their heads.
Even the scout cavalry who were dispatched urgently only lingered on the dark black river embankment in the distance, unwilling to get closer to investigate. Jatarakhun sent a small number of light cavalry to drive them away, but they immediately fled.
What's happening here?
Could it be...
Are they afraid? Sitting with several times more troops, are you actually afraid?
Of course Jatta Lahun has seen such a scene before. He himself was once a general who huddled in the city and shivered. But at this moment, I am in a different place. He went from being feared to being feared. This feeling is really making people...
Jattarajun suddenly understood.
His livid face gradually turned red, his breathing became heavier, and his bloodshot eyes began to shine.
Beside him, the initially frightened confidants began to understand and showed ferocious smiles.
No wonder Yang Wan, Zhao Quan and others were attacking cities and plundering territory everywhere, looking very fierce. I see! So that’s it!
"Hahaha! Did you see it? Did you see it?"
Jata Lahun's somewhat crouched body suddenly straightened up, as if a stream of heat rose from the soles of his feet, filling his body with courage. He waved his whip and urged the horse to gallop back and forth on the river beach, causing water to splash everywhere.
He shouted loudly: "Dajin is finished! Dajin's troops are all as cowardly as rats. They are afraid of the Mongolian army! So, they are afraid of me! They dare not go against me, Jatta Lahun! They are also afraid You! Afraid of the swords and guns in your hands, afraid of you cutting off their heads!"
This moment, that moment. Today's Jatta Lahun is no longer the Jatta Lahun of the past. With the majesty of the Mongols, we are a strong army! It will make the enemy frightened!
"Instruct all ministries to work hard, speed up the crossing of the river, and speed up the march! In another hour, I will chop off Guo Ning's head at the foot of Yidu City!"
After shouting twice, there were many responses, but they were not active enough.
So Jata Lahun shouted again: "Send an order to all the ministries. After defeating Guo Ning, everyone will be rewarded with copper coins and two bolts of silk! I won't take any money from the materials and goods brought by Guo Ning's troops, and I will reward you with them all! Some of them will be beheaded." If you are successful, I will reward you women as well!"
This time thousands of people shouted in unison.
The impoverished Jurchens, the desperate expulsions, and the disbanded cavalry all shouted loudly, although they were tired. Amidst the wild shouting and shouting, their wavering and doubts disappeared, replaced by the ferocity and fury of beasts.
The force of more than a thousand men simply made no cover and marched at full speed.
Chenshi.
To the east of Yidu City, at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
Guo Zhongyuan saw from a distance a knight with a beard, rolling his saddle and dismounting from his horse, staggering.
Several soldiers rushed over to help him and came all the way to the front.
The light armor worn by the knight was cut in several places, and his shoulders and legs were hit by several arrows and were stained with blood. On both sides of the saddle bridge, there were still several bloody heads hanging, and the blood stained the front half of the horse's body red.
Pushing away the support of the soldiers, the knight strode forward, bowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Report to the general, there are traces of enemy troops thirty miles away! However, they are not Mongols, but surrendered troops, numbering more than a thousand. , three hundred cavalrymen."
Guo Zhongyuan nodded.
He did not rush to give orders, but instead smiled and said to the knight: "I remember you, you are Zhang Hui!"
After reining in his horse and returning, Guo Zhongyuan said to his companions: "Did you see it? This is the Zhang Hui I told you about! He is good at using big guns, brave and good at fighting. He is the Zhang Fei of our army!"
Zhang Hui was so praised that he smiled from ear to ear and said repeatedly: "General, I still have some strength left, and I am willing to explore the enemy's situation again!"
Guo Zhongyuan asked someone to help him down, wrap up his wounds and rest, and then said: "Beat the drums, blow the trumpets, raise the flags, and prepare to meet the enemy."
Following his order, both the red military flag unique to Guo Ning's troops and the standard five-color flag representing the Ding Navy Jiedushi stood up.
However, among the generals under the flag, Guo Ning was not included. The actual commander of the supporting army on behalf of Guo Ning was Guo Zhongyuan, the pro-army general.
