Feeling the fire rising in his heart, Saba became even more irritable.
He remembered more and more the unfair treatment and humiliation he had suffered since he was recruited as a junior official in the Northwest Road Division.
The attitude of those Jurchen chiefs towards him always stung his pride and made him feel that he was just a humble dog.
Just to survive, and for the sake of his wife, children, and children, he had no choice but to become a loyal dog beside the Jurchen chief who could come and go when called.
Is this what he wants?
And now the Jurchens really want their lives and want to kill them and eat their meat. Under such circumstances, can they continue to compromise and be the Jurchens' dogs?
Now that the Han people have risen up against the Jurchens, are the Khitans still going to sit idly by and ignore it, or even become accomplices of their enemies?
The Khitans and Han people also suffered cruel oppression from the Jurchens, so they should work together to defeat the Jurchens, right?
Su Yin was keenly aware of Sa Ba's change in mood, so he added fuel to his anger.
"Back then, the Han people lived in harmony and friendship with the Khitan people for a long time. In the end, we were defeated and annexed by the Jurchens together. It has been decades. At this moment, aren't we joining hands to resist again? Time?"
This sentence finally ignited Saba's rebellious heart.
The rebellious ambition ran wildly on the wild grass in Sa Ba's heart like a prairie fire, making his rebellious heart hot.
"What you say makes sense. The Khitan people cannot allow themselves to be slaughtered by the Jurchens, otherwise we, our wives, children, and children will not be protected. However, the Jin soldiers are powerful and it is very dangerous to act rashly."
Sa Ba looked at Su Yin: "Since you want me to rebel, you should give me some help anyway. How did your Liberation Army rebel to the point where it is now?"
Sa Ba couldn't wait to know how the Liberation Army grew from scratch, from a small force to the behemoth that now occupies Shandong and Hebei.
Su Yin didn't hide anything about this.
He directly told Saba how the Liberation Army killed the leaders of the three states when they first launched their troops, and then quickly raided the counties and occupied the three states, successfully consolidating the base of the rebellion.
Then there were various conquests, taking advantage of the Jin people's weakness of not responding in time to quickly expand their strength and call on more and more Han people to rise up and resist.
In the end, they successfully controlled Shandong and Hebei, which had caused huge trouble to the Jin Kingdom. If they continued to persist, as long as they were undefeated, it would be enough to make the Jin Kingdom sleepless and sleepless and pay a huge price.
Saba felt that he had learned a lot.
He felt himself a little ignited.
At this time, Zaohe, who was responsible for recruiting Khitan soldiers, still didn't realize that things were changing.
He tried to reason with Wanyan Wozi and talk about the Khitan people's worries and realities, but Wanyan Wozi was unwilling to listen.
"I know everything you said, so what's the use? You and I are both paid by the imperial court, and we both obey the imperial court's orders. Now that the imperial court wants to do this, what can you do? What can I do?"
Wanyan Wozi said with a face full of displeasure: "Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter is very clear, that is, no matter what, we must recruit troops. The sky is falling and we must recruit troops. We must also limit the time and quantity. If one person is missing, he will be delayed by one day." Will not work!
If things don't go well, let alone these Khitans, neither you nor me, we will all be finished! Do you want to die? If you don't want to die, hurry up and recruit the Khitan people as soldiers. If it's too late, even the King of Heaven and I won't be able to save us! "
Wanyan Wozi's words completely crushed Zaohe's last remaining thoughts of bridging the conflict between the two parties.
He found that this contradiction could not be bridged at all. Apart from obeying orders, he could only obey orders. Facing the high pressure of the imperial power, he had no power to resist and had no other possibility except to obey.
Unless he wants to die.
So Zaohe could only announce the conscription order bitterly and mobilize all his subordinate officials to execute the conscription order, including Saba.
As a civil servant and a government employee, Saba certainly had to go out to do business.
So most of the armed personnel in the government went out to do business, and only a few stayed on Northwest Road to coordinate the logistics work within the department.
Then, Saba, who was supposed to be out on business, took hundreds of people who were willing to follow him to cause trouble and broke into the recruitment department on the Northwest Road when there were few people. They rushed and killed, causing chaos in the recruitment department.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Saba and his men defeated all the armed forces in the department that could still resist, killing one by one, and then captured a group of officials such as Wanyan Wozi and Zaohe.
"Are you going to rebel?!"
Wanyan Wozi asked in desperation what he should have known clearly.
"Otherwise? Now that we've reached this point, are we just joking with you?"
Sa Ba said with a stern look on his face: "We, the Khitan people, have fallen into the dust. We beg you hard not to send away all the strong men and horses. If you leave only one third, you will not force us to this point.
The tribe was unwilling to resist, but you bullied us too much and forced us to have no way to survive. In order to survive, we had to rebel. This is all your fault, not the fault of the Khitan tribe. You must understand this! "
"That's not what we want! The imperial court is forcing too much! The emperor is forcing too much! If we don't conscript you, the emperor will kill us! He will kill us! There is nothing we can do!!"
Zaohe begged Saba not to kill him.
But Saba was unmoved.
"Don't worry, if we kill you, we will go to Zhongdu to settle accounts with Wanyan Liang, together with the Liberation Army! Let's settle the general ledger!"
Wanyan Wo turned around and was shocked.
"You want to join forces with those rebels?"
"Isn't it normal for the north and the south to unite, and the Han and Khitan people to unite again? Back then, you Jurchens took advantage of it, and now it's time for the Han and Khitan people to unite again to seize freedom!"
Sa Ba raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted loudly, which aroused the cheers of the Khitan people who followed him.
So Sa Ba took matters into his own hands and killed Wanyan Wozi and Zaohe as well as all the Jurchen officials. He also killed some Khitan officials who had oppressed him in the past.
This group of Khitan officials relied on their power and liked to bully the Khitan people. They were servile to the Jurchens. It was useless to keep them. They killed them all together.
In short, many people were killed in this wave. The entire Northwest Road Recruitment Department basically collapsed and was completely unable to perform its functions. The military and administration along this road fell into a state of no command.
Subsequently, Saba seized the weapons and armor from the Recruitment Division, fully armed his first army, and then killed many relevant Jurchen officials he could find, seized the local arsenal, and further mobilized the Khitan farmers and herdsmen to join forces. uprising.
He declared that the Kingdom of Jin was going to recruit them all as soldiers, and not a single strong man or a war horse would be left behind. This would mean that they would all die, and they firmly could not agree with such a thing happening, so they must resist this injustice no matter what. treatment.
Now the Han general Su Yonglin has led hundreds of thousands of Han people to seize Shandong and Hebei as base areas, and is preparing for a large-scale northern expedition to Zhongdu and fight to the death against the Jurchens.
The Han brothers have stood up and resisted. Should we Khitans continue to be slaves of the Jurchens and be drained of the last bit of wealth by them?
The resistance of the Khitan people was quickly aroused, and large numbers of strong men responded to Saba's call, followed Saba to rebel and prepare to develop eastward.
They planned to seize Linhuang Mansion, the hometown of the Khitans, and attack Dading Mansion in Beijing at the same time, preparing to form an outflank situation with the Hebei area controlled by Su Yonglin and the Jin Kingdom's Zhongdu area.
Surrounded from the north and south, they captured Zhongdu Prefecture together, killed Wan Yanliang, wiped out the center of the Jin Kingdom, and made the Jin Kingdom actually dead.
And then gain the freedom they long for that has been lost for decades!
This strategy was suggested by Su Yin. After thinking about it, Sa Ba felt that this strategy was very feasible, so he decided to act according to it.
While conducting military operations, they also called on more Khitan people to respond and expand the rebel team.
The Khitan Uprising officially began.
