Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

Receive the golden horse and send it back to the ship.

Wu Shu felt much better.

The matter of the theft of his Teruya Lion has been revealed.

Liangshan's reception of him was obviously stronger than that of other forces, which also made the prince of the Golden Kingdom feel better.~

"Please ask the fourth prince to get in the car."

In front of me are several four-wheeled vehicles with extremely exquisite workmanship.

The front wheels are short, the rear wheels are tall, and the style is quite novel.

The carriage above the wheels is painted black and is as smooth as a mirror.

There are large pieces of glass on both sides of the carriage. You can watch the scenery outside the window while riding in the car.

After Wu Shu got on the car, he discovered that there was a small heater in the car. The charcoal burned was high-quality silver wire charcoal, which had a faint aroma. It was probably made from the trunk of some fruit tree.

The carriage It was warm as spring, with a stove on one side and some exquisite snacks on the shelves on the other side.

Wu Shu couldn't help but turned to Duan Jingzhu and said:"Liangshan is interested, Duan Leader is interested.""

"This carriage is specially for distinguished guests. Duan Jingzhu said with a smile:"Our boss won't ride in this carriage. The door handles are all gold-plated. He said it's too luxurious. It should be reserved for distinguished guests." I’m not afraid of the Fourth Prince’s jokes. I’m jealous and want to buy one, but unfortunately I can’t afford it."

"Aren’t you Liangshan leaders very rich? The annual salary is quite large, and there is also a job field."

As for the Jin Kingdom, they are also very interested in the increasingly powerful Liangshan.

Especially the previous ten-jiedu expedition, the top brass of the Jin Kingdom paid full attention to the whole process!

Liangshan not only won the battle, but also won neatly!

This is called the top brass of the Jin Kingdom. The emphasis on Liangshan has increased significantly.

Although they have defeated the main force of the Liao army in the most critical battle, Emperor

Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty is still there, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and most of the territory is still in their hands.

The Liao Kingdom still has The troops and horses were still gathering, and the two countries gradually turned from close combat to all-round fierce fighting.

Before, the Liao Kingdom was the main attack, and the Jin Kingdom was the defensive counterattack.

Now it has become a strategic confrontation, and the main force of the Liao Army cannot win the battle. , the current strategy is to gather a large number of troops and horses to garrison along strategic arteries and important cities and checkpoints, consuming the Jin Kingdom’s military strength and vigor. The Jin Kingdom is still winning, but it has indeed been slowed down. The pace of the Liao war has also been slowed down.

After all, the country is a big country with hundreds of military states and an area of ​​thousands of miles. In addition, it rose to power during the Tang and Wu Zhou Dynasties and has a history of more than 400 years. Its foundation is still quite profound.

If the Jurchens did not rebel, then the Liao Kingdom would have occupied all of Liaodong. The territory extends from northeastern Russia to the Arctic Ocean, Sakhalin Island, the entire territory of Mongolia and the Arctic Circle, and to the north of Xinjiang in the west, as well as the Han territories including Datong and Youzhou. Xijing,

Datong, Tokyo and later Liaoyang, and In the five capitals including Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Nanjing Youzhou, the Liao emperor would take turns to tour various places according to seasonal changes. This was the Nabo system of the Liao people. It was originally an old custom of nomadic people living in pursuit of water and grass.

Later, because the territory was too large, Nabo system It was the best way to consolidate the rule of Daliao.

The territory of Daliao was huge, extending to the far north including Lake Baikal, the entire grassland and desert, and even a small half of several countries in Central Asia. Territory, these places are all under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom's northwest road envoys. The Liao Kingdom has powerful jurisdiction over the Western Regions, that is, the Xizhou Uighurs, and the Black Khanate that has territories in various countries in the Western Regions and Central Asia. Influence.

From Liaodong to the far north, there are a large number of barbarian tribes under the jurisdiction of Daliao such as Wanyan tribe, Donghai Jurchen tribe, Changbaishan tribe, Bigu tribe, Shiwei tribe.

Daliao's management is not the restraint system of Tang or Ming Dynasty , but through the Nabo system, a large number of Liao monarchs and cavalry went north regularly. The tribes along the way needed to worship, serve, serve, and pay tribute...

This is an enhanced version of the Jimi system, which can give each tribe a certain degree of self-control. However, it strengthened the ruling power of Daliao and the suzerain status of the Liao emperor. Like Wanyan Aguda, his ancestors had always participated in the Liao emperor's nabao, worshiping hunting dogs and Haidongqing. Every time the emperor arrived, at least as many as Tens of thousands, ten thousand or more, these small tribes have to serve them respectfully, eat, drink, have sex, hunt and cruise, which costs a lot of money and becomes a heavy burden for these tribes. For the emperor of

Liao, Na Bo was originally supposed to be a good opportunity to meet with the tribal leaders, to demonstrate the power of the Liao Dynasty, and to show the benevolence of the Liao emperor, who needed favors and rewards for the tribes along the way.

But by the time of Emperor Tianzuo, the Liao emperor loved hunting and often Going to the Jurchen tribe takes a long time every time, and there is a huge demand for Haidongqing.

This thing is not easy to catch. The Jurchen tribe has to put aside all their affairs and send the best young men in the tribe to help the Jurchen tribe. The Liao emperor hunted Hai Dongqing, and when Nabo came, he had to accompany him to hunt and serve on errands.

As time passed, resentment grew, and various conflicts accumulated, which led to the Wanyan Ministry's revolt.

Of course, Wanyan Aguda was also a man of great talent, strategy and astonishing courage. There was no weakling among the founding monarchs of the country.

Due to the size of the Liao Kingdom, when Wang Lun discussed cooperation in the past, the Jurchens only took over the territory of Wanyanbu, Changbai Mountain, the Jurchens in the East China Sea and other wild places.

The states of the Liao Kingdom, namely Changchun Prefecture, Huanglong Prefecture, Yueliji, Orimi, Shuilongbin and other places were captured by the Jin Kingdom.

Now Jin Guobingfeng has captured Huaizhou and Qingzhou on the Shangjing Road, which later belonged to the Chifeng area and Bahrain Mongolia.

Changchun Prefecture and Huanglong Mansion have also been captured long ago.

Yikun Prefecture, Longhua Prefecture, and Rao Prefecture all belong to the Naiman and Keshiketeng Mongolian areas.

Huizhou, Chengzhou, and Yizhou belong to the Mongolian region of Fuxin.

Now the front line of the army is in Kaizhou, Baozhou, and Chenzhou, and they are fighting with the Liao soldiers on horseback.

After conquering these three states, the front line will be the hinterland of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, Chenzhou, Gaizhou in the later Ming Dynasty, Xingzhou, Tielingwei in the Ming Dynasty, Haizhou, Haizhou area in the later Ming Dynasty, Xianzhou, Qianzhou, which is the Jinzhou area. Qianzhou, Guizhou, and Fushun Pass areas.

Next came Shenzhou, and later Shenyang.

Tongzhou, Tongzhou, Xianzhou, and Kaiyuan, Liaodong.

Liaozhou, later Liaoyang, and now Daliao Tokyo, is the core of governance in the Liaodong region.

Now Jin Guo's goal is to go to Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road, and then to Zhongjing Road.

These three places are the core of Daliao's rule.

But the real source of taxes and supplies is Xijing Road, where Datong is the administrative seat, and Kyushu is the prefecture.

Nanjing Road was governed in Youzhou, which later became Beijing. It governed one prefecture and five states: Youzhou, Pingzhou, Yunneizhou, Fengshengzhou, and Yuzhou.

This is the two capitals and two roads dominated by the sixteen states ceded by Shi Jingtang back then. It is also the territory governed by the officials in the south and dominated by Han'er.

It has a developed economy and a large population.

After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it simply set its capital in Youzhou and changed it to the capital. After that, Beijing became the capital until later generations.

The rule of Youzhou by the Jin people was regarded as a failure in the eyes of later generations.

The entire Jin tribe quickly became corrupted.

Unlike the Khitan people, who maintained the Nabo system and some basic things of the nomadic people, the Liao army actually had a very strong combat effectiveness until the end of the country.

It just encountered the emerging Jurchens and suffered defeat after defeat. In addition, there were deep internal conflicts, and even the country fell.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff.

Yelu Dashi and others were able to defeat the main force of the Song army.

Later, Yelu Dashi led tens of thousands of Khitan remnants to the Western Regions.

To destroy the Black Khanate, if Huala Qimo had not been in its prime at that time, Xiliao would have easily wiped out this Central Asian power.

When the Western Liao Dynasty was strong, it occupied the entire Western Region and part of Central Asia. The territory of Mobei was also a large country covering thousands of miles.

If they had not been destroyed by the Mongols, with less than 20,000 remnants they could have built a large empire that lasted for hundreds of years, and the Khitans would have been considered an extremely successful alien civilization.

Unfortunately, they were massacred so tragically by the Mongols that the Khitan and Dangxiang civilizations were completely lost in the long river of history.

The Jin people are different and have completely integrated into the realm of the Han people.

After more than a hundred years, the armaments were completely abandoned.

When Temujin raised his army, what he encountered was a completely different Jurchen army from the founding of the country.

In the Battle of Yehuling, more than 100,000 Mongolians fought against more than 500,000 Jurchen troops.

As a result... corpses were laid for hundreds of miles, and more than 500,000 people were wiped out.

This lesson was also kept in mind by the Jianzhou Jurchens later.

They did not change their hairstyles or robes no matter what. They emphasized at every moment the need to maintain the simple Manchu family tradition and the heritage of riding and archery.

From Huang Taiji to Qianlong, the lessons of Jinren and Wanyan were emphasized all the time.

As a result... it couldn't keep up with the development of the times, and was as clingy and conservative as a stupid pig.

He was also beaten until his teeth were all over the floor.

It's just that civilization has progressed and they have not been exterminated.

The war between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom has temporarily become a see-saw.

If the Liao Kingdom can stabilize the Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road, there is still room for war.

If the Jin Kingdom takes these two roads, it will only be a matter of time before the Liao Dynasty is destroyed.

Wu Shu has only one goal here, which is to exchange for more refined iron!

Originally, the Jin Kingdom also lacked horses, but after taking Yikun Prefecture, Longhua Prefecture, Raozhou, Huizhou, Chengzhou, and Yizhou, which all belonged to Naiman and Keshiketeng Mongolia, they also gained vast territory. Ranches and a large number of wandering tribes.

War horses are no longer in short supply.

Wu Shu came here this time with the intention of using tens of thousands of high-quality war horses in exchange for a large amount of fine iron.

It would be best if I could get weapons and armor, especially Liangshan's breastplate.

If you can't change it, fine iron ingots will also work.

……

The carriage sets off.

There are not many Wushu followers, only about a dozen riders. (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

They are all elite cavalry dressed as barbarians.

This group of people was originally wild and untamed, and they were not afraid of even the Khitan cavalry of the Liao Kingdom.

But not long after setting off, Liangshan cavalry came from a capital.

Completely suppressed the arrogance of these Jin cavalry!

They were all long lances. Each lance was made with exquisite craftsmanship. You could tell at a glance that they were extremely expensive.

The protective breastplates on the front and back shone like silver.

Iron pockets, neck guards, arm guards, iron gloves, shin guards, belly guards, belts... all cavalry are like iron men.

On the side of the horse's belly, there is a short cavalry crossbow that has far greater melee power than a cavalry bow. It can fire five arrows at a time. Compared with the cavalry bow in close-range cavalry battles, this crossbow is obviously much more powerful.

In addition, he wears a ring-shaped sword and a riding shield.

Really armed to the teeth.

The riding skills of the cavalry are also top-notch, even better than these Jurchen cavalry!

The riding movements are fast and smooth!

Every movement is full of confidence and coordination.[]

It even feels light.

This is heavy cavalry!

If you are marching outside Liangshan, each heavy cavalry will also have an attendant, responsible for carrying armor, horse armor, weapons, supplies, etc.

Two people, three horses or four horses.

Otherwise, the war horses would not be able to withstand the burden of long-distance marches.

This is the standard configuration of heavy cavalry.

Therefore, ordinary forces cannot afford heavy cavalry at all.

Including the Song Dynasty.

The peak of the Chinese heavy cavalry has passed.

The pinnacle of supporting heavy cavalry at all costs was Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Originally, it was a rise in troubled times. Even if everything was destroyed, military preparation must be the first priority.

It was during this era that the armored cavalry appeared.

The Northern Wei Dynasty went all out, with only tens of thousands of armored and heavy cavalry.

Later, the Western Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty fought several battles with armored cavalry, which was also the pinnacle battle of Chinese classical heavy cavalry.

Its afterglow is that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were armed with horse spears and wore bright armor, and the foreigners they killed were frightened by the news.

The last flashback was the Iron Buddha of the Jin people. They were also heavy cavalry, numbering no more than 10,000.

After being defeated by Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yue Fei and others in the Southern Song Dynasty and suffering heavy losses at Tiefu Tu, Wu Shu lamented that his troops on the sea had not suffered such a disastrous defeat, mainly because he felt sorry for the loss of the heavy cavalry.

After the Jin people and the Western Xia Dynasty were destroyed, the Mongols also had heavy cavalry, but not to mention compared with the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was far from the Iron Buddha Tu of the Jin people.

After that, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was no need to talk about armored cavalry.

It is also because of the emergence of firearms that iron armor is not as effective against lead bullets as cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves.

It is also because of the decline in national power and inability to do anything.

In addition, the Chinese horse breeding method is not good, good war horses are always castrated, and the bloodline transmission work is not done well.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, high-quality tall war horses were rare.

The mainstream is the short Mongolian horse, which does not have the conditions to become an armored cavalry.

In the Jin Kingdom at this time, the Iron Buddha Temple had not yet taken shape, but it was already gradually developing.

The battle between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom was fought by cavalry.

Many places are grasslands or Liaodong plains, where the cavalry is home.

The cavalry is not strong, and it is impossible to destroy Liao with infantry.

Heavy cavalry such as Iron Buddha are also taking shape.

The Kingdom of Jin is also quite deficient in iron.

Wu Shu, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a little uneasy and full of expectations.

There was also hidden greed deep in his eyes.

You can see how wealthy Liangshan is just from Dengzhou Port.

Dewu Shu coveted wealth worth tens of millions, or even tens of millions.

More than ten years ago, they were just ordinary tribes. They made a living by fishing and hunting in the white mountains and black waters. Their living conditions were quite difficult, even poverty-stricken.

Even for nobles, their living conditions are not much better.

But here in Liangshan... the difference between the two sides is really too far.

……

When Chai Jin arrived in Weizhou, it was only five or six days before the Chinese New Year.

Calculated, the time is quite ample.

After staying here for another two days, I will go directly to Yuncheng County to celebrate the New Year with many heroes there.

This is also the arrangement made by the Chief of Protocol on the orders of Wang Lun.

This is also the last time the field is divided before the start of the year.

Originally, I wanted to come over first to see how the land was divided, and then go to Ye County and Dengzhou.

But because Wang Lun went to Gewu Academy in person, the concierge immediately changed the itinerary after hearing about it.

Chai Jin and others were curious and admired everything about Liangshan, and had no objections to it.

Moreover, what is interesting is that the people who are in charge of allocating fields in Beihai County are still a few old acquaintances..
