Another libertine laughed and asked, "How much money did you lose?"
Zhao Gou replied, "Not much, and it's not for money."
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
They enjoyed manipulating the Song imperial family.
There is a perverse pleasure in trampling on the nobility.
Zhao Gou could only greet him with a smile.
I'll go out and have some fun with these guys tonight.
They freeload at upscale entertainment venues.
The party ended and everyone dispersed.
Zhao Gou strolled through the streets of Tokyo.
I gaze up at the bright moon, feeling the night breeze blowing.
He felt this wasn't a way out.
Especially after a fight during the day,
They have become a laughing stock among the people of Tokyo.
Save money for another six months,
You could try writing a letter to the imperial court.
He requested to move to another place with his wife and children.
The more remote the place, the better.
The gentry in remote, impoverished areas were not very knowledgeable.
He, as a member of the former royal family, deserves respect.
When you arrive in a small town,
Spending money to buy land and acquire property.
Befriend local celebrities,
The rest of my life will be easier.
This dilapidated Tokyo,
Whoever wants to live there can live there.
In any case, Zhao Gou didn't want to stay even half a day.
.....
Now, let's talk about Yelü Yudu and his son.
They were escorted out of Tokyo.
We took a boat all the way to Shandong.
From Kaifeng to Jinan
The entire journey can be undertaken by water.
The journey also involves passing through Liangshan Marsh.
The surrounding prefectures and counties of Liangshanbo
Both are characterized by a sharp decline in population.
Even the number of fishermen has decreased.
But it was never as chaotic as it had been in previous years.
People do not want to experience war again.
Even the scattered bandits in the mountains,
They were all recruited into the government and made commoners.
They were assigned to cultivate unclaimed land.
“The Jin Dynasty will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty,” Yelü Dongzhen said.
Yelü Yudu said, "Of course we can't win."
"The Ming Dynasty only needs to defend its cities,"
"The Jin state will inevitably experience internal strife."
"The Jin dynasty had grain but lacked soldiers."
"Wanyan Zonghan has troops but lacks food,"
"If we cannot march south and plunder on a large scale,"
"Wanyan Zonghan will inevitably fight the Jin emperor sooner or later!"
Yelü Dongzhen said, "What I mean is, we've been traveling all this way..."
"Merchants and travelers thronged the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, and fertile fields covered the land."
"On the other hand, in Yunzhong (Datong), all industries under Wanyan Zonghan's rule are in decline."
"As long as the Ming border troops do not lose the cities,"
Even if we lose ten or twenty battles,
"We can still play next year."
"And what about Wanyan Zonghan?"
"They run out of steam after losing three or five games."
"really!"
Yelü Yudu nodded.
More than a hundred years ago,
The various Jurchen tribes were still in a primitive society of clan communes.
In the last hundred years, the Jurchens finally emerged from the clan commune...
It leapfrogged into slavery.
However, the specific situation is extremely complex.
In the transition of civilization from "hunting" to "agriculture",
Clan and slavery have always coexisted.
Chapter 1967 Jin Dynasty Bandits
From clan commune,
To the large family commune.
Then came small family-based private ownership.
This kind of civilizational progress that skips several levels in a row,
It was happening almost simultaneously throughout the Jin Kingdom.
Until half a century later,
Yue Fei has been dead for decades.
The Jin Dynasty still operated on the principle of "private ownership by small families and shared farming by large clans."
During the busy farming season
The clan leader can mobilize all resources.
Including slaves in small families,
The labor was uniformly directed over the land of the entire family.
In the past two years, the Jin state...
Not only did large numbers of Xi and Bohai people migrate,
They also migrated Jurchen tribes to the north.
And they brought the Mengan-Muke system with them.
The tribal aristocracy's slave system, consisting of large and small families.
It began to be implemented in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
Countless Jurchen slaves were redeemed and became free people.
Countless Han Chinese and Bohai people were enslaved.
In the Youyun region, very inefficient production activities are carried out.
Those places were worse than during the Liao Dynasty's rule.
Every month, people flee south.
Or they could simply rebel and wage guerrilla warfare in the mountains.
For example, the monks of Mount Wutai,
Under the abbot's guidance,
Unite the local gentry and common people.
They have been entangled with the Jin people in the mountains for over a year.
The Jurchens' rule in the north was a complete mess.
Yelü Dongzhen saw this.
At the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After he visited the Ming Dynasty,
Only then did they realize that the Jin Dynasty's national strength was too weak.
Yelü Yudu sighed, "The Liao Dynasty did not perish at the hands of the Jin Dynasty."
"But it perished due to internal strife."
"As long as the Ming Dynasty doesn't fall into internal strife,"
"Why should we fear the Jin Kingdom?"
This was the honest truth in Yelü Yudu's heart.
He still looks down on the Jurchens to this day.
They believed they were a group of uncivilized mountain barbarians.
As for the terrifying fighting power of the Jin soldiers,
Yelü Yudu selectively ignored this.
I met Zhao Yuan in Jinan.
Yelü Yu immediately bowed and prostrated himself.
Kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes, she said:
"Yelü Yudu, a remnant of the Liao Dynasty,"
"Greetings to the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty!"
"General, please rise."
Zhao Yuan smiled and helped him up.
Yelü Yudu said, "The Jurchens are barbarians."
