Under the Changbai Mountains with white mountains and black waters, although the weather is cold and the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is densely covered with forests, luxuriant grass, and numerous animals. The Songhua River is an endless prairie.
On the banks of the Songhua River in early spring, most of the heavy snow had receded. It was a good time for nomads to hunt. Wanyan Wu Qimai took Tang Kuohui'er, Asina, Lalan Agu and the children to gallop on the grass for less than half a day. In a short time, he captured wild boars, rabbits and many other prey.
Although Wanyan Wu Qimai grew up in a tribe, she has been in contact with the Han people from the Central Plains in Nanjing for many years. She understands the cooking techniques of the Central Plains, and she is very good at cooking and eating.
The three ladies, Asina, Nalagu, and Tang Kuohuier, were riding around on horseback with their children. Soon after, Wanyan Wu Qimai had prepared a fragrant roast pig.
The fragrant smell of wild boar came to my nostrils. After getting off the horse, Madam asked, drinking Jurchen roast wine like a prairie man and eating roasted pig with the style of the Central Plains Song Dynasty. It felt very comfortable.
At the same time, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Loushi, etc. followed the smell of roasted pig and finally found them in a picturesque place with lush water and grass. Wanyan Wu begged to buy a family. Wanyan Sagai was the first to say jokingly:
"Hahaha, brother Wu Qimai, you are quite at ease, so enviable. I am waiting for you to come uninvited. Please forgive me for my fourth brother and younger brothers and sisters."
"Oh, brother Sagai, Yin Shuke, Zong Han, Zong Bi, why are you here? Please sit down quickly."
After finishing speaking, Lazy Agu found a wooden stool and asked Wanyan Sagai to sit down. Wanyan Wu Qingmao laughed and said:
"Come on, Brother Sa Gai, try my secret roasted wine and the roasted wild boar with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty. It will definitely be much better than the Jurchen delicacies you are used to."
After Wanyan Wu finished begging for money, Wanyan Sagai took the wild boar trotter and started to chew it. After drinking the secret roasted wine, he said loudly:
"Good wine, really good wine, and the meat is also good. It seems that we are disturbing the enjoyment of Wu Qimai brother and his younger brothers and sisters."
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, Brother Sa Gai? As long as you don't mind my crudeness, you can come over at any time and we can have a good drink and talk about the world."
"Well, to be honest with brother Wu Qimai, when we come here this time, we do have some undecided matters to ask for advice on, and we also ask brother Wu Qimai for advice."
Wanyan Sagai ate roast pork and drank wine while continuing to say to everyone:
"Brother Wu Qimai, in the past two years, although our Dajin Empire has defeated the Liao army twice, since we defeated their 700,000 troops last year, our Dajin Empire has captured the fifty-four states of Liaodong outside Huanglong Mansion. land".
"However, our Great Jin Empire is originally vast and sparsely populated. Before we acquired the fifty-four states of Liaodong, we already owned the land of the sixty states of the Great Jin Kingdom, but the population was only one million and we only had a dozen or so soldiers to fight. Ten thousand".
"Today, the population of the fifty-five prefectures in Liaodong has reached two million, and the territory is vast. Our Dajin Empire can no longer occupy the fifty-four prefectures in Liaodong."
"Especially after the Wu Qimai brothers left the court, Yelu Chun and Xiao Puxian came back with their troops, and the enemies of Liaodong raised their troops to rebel. They were used by the Liao court. They had more than 100,000 resentful soldiers to fight against our country of Jin. Wanyan Zonghan , Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Loushi and other troops retreated eastward one after another."
"Therefore, today's fifty-four states in Liaodong are suffering from the chaos of Daliao, Dajin and the resentful people. We, Dajin, no longer own the fifty-four states, and are about to endanger the hinterland of our Dajin Kingdom. We want to lift the We are helpless to deal with this problem."
"Hahaha, brother Sa Gai, with all due respect, our Da Jin Empire cannot effectively occupy the fifty-four states of Liaodong. Is it really because our Da Jin Empire has few Jurchens and insufficient soldiers? I don't think so."
"Think about it, speaking of few people, how did the Khitans, with a population of less than a million, command thousands of miles of land in the Liao Dynasty, and how they commanded tens of millions of people of various tribes for more than two hundred years."
"So, I think that our inability to occupy the fifty-four states of Liaodong is because there is a problem with the Dajin State itself."
"If we imitate the Liao Dynasty and imitate the two-faced official system, we can make the Khitans, Turks, Mongols, Rourans, Bohais, Han people, etc. equal to our Jurchens, with our Jurchens as the main ones, using the Han to control the Han, the Mongolian to control the Mongolian, and the Mongolian to control the Mongolian. The Khitan will control the Khitan, and the Bohai Sea will be used to control the Bohai Sea, and the world will be unified. In this way, like the Liao Dynasty, it can rule thousands of miles of the north."
"Ah ah ah, that's great. Fourth uncle, you said it well. I, Wanyan Zongbi, am so impressed."
"Brother Wu Qimai is really the prime minister of our Great Jin Empire. I, Wanyan Sagai, agree with your approach to the great unity of the world. If our Great Jin Kingdom can destroy the Liao Dynasty and rule the world, it will not be enough to establish a country without your great unification policy." .
"However, at present, our Jurchens are marching west to destroy Daliao. If we cannot truly own the fifty-four states in Liaodong, we can only live on the banks of the Songhua River. I don't know what brother Wu Qimai has to do."
"Hahaha, the land of Northern Xinjiang was first unified by Daliao. Later, the thirty-six Jurchen tribes rose up to compete with Daliao."
"In recent years, the fifty-four prefectures in Liaodong have been the main battlefield between Dajin and Daliao. As a result, people have been displaced and wars have continued, resulting in the rise of resentful people and hundreds of thousands of resentful soldiers."
"Brother Sagai, dear nephews, are you sure that these resentful people and soldiers are complaining about our army of the Jin Kingdom? I don't think so."
"Ah ah ah, fourth uncle, do you think these resentful soldiers are actually complaining about the Liao court?"
"Yes, Zong Han is right. Think about it, everyone, who made them homeless and separated from their wives and children? Without the brutal expropriation of the Liao Dynasty, would our soldiers of the Jin Kingdom have been able to rise up? If it had not been for the Liao Dynasty's brutal attack on me, the Jurchen Thirty Years Will the six tribes' aggressive militarism trigger the Liao-Jin War and affect the 54-2 million people in Liaodong? Without the oppression of the people by the Liao Dynasty, would the resentful people in the 54 states in Liaodong be displaced?"
"Therefore, I think what they really complain about is the oppression of the Liao Dynasty for two hundred years, rather than the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom."
"Now, although they are resisting our Dajin soldiers, they are also resisting the Liao army. It's just that their leaders are using the banner of the Liao Dynasty to bully the people and seek benefits for themselves."
Wanyan Wu Qimai said plausibly. Everyone nodded repeatedly, staring at Wanyan Wu begging for money as if they were seeing the blue sky after clearing the clouds, fearing that they would miss any link.
The sun gradually set, and suddenly a cold wind blew up from the Songhua River. Wanyan Sagai, who shivered, looked at everyone and said:
"Oh, listening to you is better than ten years of reading. Although brother Wu Qimai is no longer advising in the court of our Great Jin Empire, he is as earnest as the prime minister in the mountains, making suggestions for the country and the country of our Great Jin Empire."
"Zong Han, Zong Bi, Zong Xian, Yin Shuke, Shi Gunai, Lou Shi, Xi Yin, your fourth uncle Wanyan Wu's begging words are astonishing to the heavens and weeping ghosts and gods. We can't wait to see him. We will definitely do it after we return. Follow your fourth uncle's policy, cultivate political principles internally, and fight against Liao externally, so as to ensure the eternal glory of our Jin Empire."
After Wanyan Sagai finished speaking, Wanyan Loushi was the first to say:
"To your Majesty the Prime Minister, we will never forget your great trust and follow the fourth uncle's policy to strengthen our Golden Empire."
At this moment, Tang Kuohuier who was standing by the side suddenly said:
"Master Prime Minister, if our Dajin Empire wants to capture the fifty-four states of Liaodong, we can take advantage of the fact that the people of Liaodong are displaced and do good deeds that cannot be done in Liaodong and have not been done yet."
"Well, what Tang Kuo Hui'er said is absolutely true. I, Wan Yan Sa Gai, will definitely report to the emperor, appease the people, and provide them with shelter, clothing, and food. At the same time, I will drive a wedge between the Liao Dynasty and the leaders of the resentful soldiers in the fifty-four states of Liaodong. , let them kill each other, and when our benevolent and righteous troops from the Kingdom of Jin advance east again, we will surely make all the fifty-four states in Liaodong belong to us."
After Wanyan Sagai finished speaking, Wanyan Yinshuke on the side echoed:
"Mrs. Kuo Hui'er of Tang Dynasty hit the mark with her words. We have benefited a lot. With the help of our fourth uncle Wu Qingmao, our Great Jin Empire will definitely be able to dominate the world."
"No, no, no, brother Sa Gai and all my nephews have exaggerated. However, if I can find any use in the future, I, Murong Fu, will definitely be the prime minister of the Great Jin Empire."
After Wanyan Wu finished talking about begging for money, Lazy Agu looked at everyone and said jokingly:
"Master Prime Minister, dear nephews, don't just talk. The Song Dynasty roast pork cooked by my husband himself is delicious. Don't let him waste it."
After saying that, Wanyan Wu begged his family and Wanyan Sagai and others to eat and drink to their heart's content.
