The 250 Ming troops stationed outside the city were already dressed in uniform early in the morning.
It was obvious that they had been informed of the plan.
Wanyan Zongpan was escorted out of the city. When he came to the south city gate, he immediately ordered: "Hand over the city gate!"
The Jurchen soldiers guarding the city gate were a little confused and did not dare to disobey the eldest prince's order.
Mao Zilian took eighteen healthy servants and immediately stepped forward to disarm. Then he took off the armor of these Jurchen soldiers, helped each other put them on themselves, and took over the defense of the city gate.
Wanyan Zongpan continued to walk outside the city. The Jurchen soldiers seemed to have gotten the news and were blowing trumpets frantically to gather troops.
The real commander of the troops was not in the military camp. The general who ordered the troops to gather was called Niange Hannu. He was a personal guard of Jin Wushu.
Seeing Wanyan Zongpan coming, Niange Han Nu did not dare to neglect him and led his troops to kneel down to pay homage.
Including the Niange Han slaves, as long as they were defeated soldiers brought back by Jin Wushu, they were full of resentment and anxiety these days.
Bai Yangong immediately lost his mind and held the knife in front of Wu Begging: "Your Majesty, I've offended you."
Wanyan Zongpan bit the bullet and ordered: "Seize your Majesty from a distance. The envoy of the Ming Dynasty has already said that if you can capture him alive, you don't need to kill him. He will be escorted to Kaifeng and handed over to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for his decision."
Wanyan Zongpan couldn't say anything and turned to look at Han Qixian.
As soon as this was said, no one dared to move.
From this we can see that the aristocratic children who stayed in Shangjing have really become Chinese very quickly.
Han Qi first stepped forward and said: "Both of you can be granted the command of the Ming Dynasty and get a piece of land to build your own tribe."
Because the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to bear infamy.
Po Luhuo was still hesitant, so Wanyan Zongxian knelt down directly to Wanyan Zongpan - Wanyan Zongxian had always been afraid of being liquidated, and he wished Wu Qimai would die early.
Nuanjie Hannu quickly said: "I am willing to follow!"
At this moment, Wanyan Zongxian and Po Luhuo came running on horseback, each leading some tribesmen behind them.
Wanyan Zongpan sighed and said: "Father, from the civil servants and generals to the army sergeants, they have long been resentful of you. There is no other way to go, so you should end it on your own."
After thinking about it, Po Luhuo knelt down.
Wu Qimai sneered: "You want me to commit suicide? I will not grant your wish. The head of Emperor Jin is here. Whoever wants to be the emperor's father can just come and cut off my head!"
Gu San led the Ming soldiers outside the city to "protect" Wanyan Zongpan as he headed to the imperial city.
Wu Dabu was ordered to take a detour out of the city in search of reinforcements, but was captured by Wanyan Zongpan.
In the palace city, the two sides are still confronting each other.
The two of them led their own troops, using Wanyan Zongpan's signature, to take over the defense of the northern and southern cities.
Han Qixian said loudly: "The foolish king Wu begged for money, betrayed the frontline soldiers, and killed loyal ministers and good generals. Now he wants to sabotage the peace negotiation. His Highness the eldest prince has decided to turn the tide. Are you willing to follow?"
Wu Qimai wanted to jump from the palace city or wipe his own neck so that the traitors could not capture him alive.
Ma Kuo turned to look at Wanyan Zongpan.
When Wu Qimai saw his son leading the troops to fight and standing behind Ma Kuai, he was so angry that he yelled: "You traitor, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place!"
But when it came to the end, he didn't have the courage to commit suicide.
He has enjoyed wealth and status for many years, and has been manipulated as a puppet. He has long lost the courage to regard death as his own.
At the same time, he could not lose his dignity and knelt down to beg for mercy, so he had to maintain his imperial demeanor.
While hesitating, he was held down by Bai Yangong and tied up in a daze.
In this accident, only a few people died from beginning to end.
Because of the comfort of Han and Bohai civil servants, there was no chaos even in the city.
Three days later, Yang Yun arrived with a large army and completely controlled the entire Shangjing City.
After waiting for more than ten days, Li Cheng hurried to Shangjing City with more than a hundred cavalry to take up his post. He was the first Anton Protectorate, and from now on, Shangjing City would be the seat of the Antong Protectorate.
Li Cheng discussed with Ma Kuo privately, and then convened a civil and military meeting of the Kingdom of Jin.
Wanyan Zongpan was recommended by Li Cheng as the commander of Hu Gai and ruled the lower reaches of Mudanjiang.
Wanyan Zongxian was recommended by Li Cheng as the commander of Tunhe River and ruled the lower reaches of Tangwang River. Tangwang River was called Tunhe at this time, and that large area was originally the fiefdom of Wanyan Xiyin.
Wanyanpo Lu Huo was recommended by Li Cheng to be the commander of Gudian, and ruled that area of Mudanjiang City.
Most of the Jurchen nobles who helped stabilize the situation could continue to work in the Ming Dynasty. The specific appointment documents needed to be confirmed and promulgated by the court.
At the same time, the Jurchen tribes scattered in various places also sent envoys to ask them to surrender.
Those who are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty can be granted the position of commander by the leader.
In addition, the Jurchen tribe along the Hulan River, Ash River and other rivers around Beijing must migrate. They can choose their own way, or they can stay and become common people of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, the Ash River was called Yinche Hushui at this time, which was Aguda's home base. There were many Jurchen tribes here, and they could choose to leave with a certain commander, or they could stay and organize the people into a household.
There is also a part of the Hulan River Basin that belongs to the branch territory of the He Shilie Tribe. It is now under the direct jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate, and the relevant tribes can also choose to stay or leave.
Regardless of whether you leave or stay, you must free the slaves and hand them over to the Protectorate to make them a household for the people!
If you still want slaves, get them on your own territory.
In the new territories of Zong Pan, Zong Xian, Po Luhuo and others, there were still many Jurchens in their jurisdiction. In those places, until the reign of Wan Yanliang, Jurchens were still being captured and brought to the Hulan River Basin for reclamation.
The commanders who left Shangjing could each take with them at most five hundred pieces of armor.
Jin Wushu's son-in-law He Shi Liezhining asked: "I would like to ask Li Duhu, if the Jurchen people are willing to stay and establish a household for the people, can they take part in the imperial examination, or join the army and serve as generals?"
Li Cheng nodded and said, "Of course it's okay."
Ma Kuo explained in detail: "Liaodong and both sides of the Yalu River are temporarily unified into Liaoning Province. Scholars in the Andong Protectorate can take the scholar examination in Andong City, and then go to Liaoning Province to take the judicial examination. In view of the fact that Hebei and Liaoning were seriously affected by the war, The imperial examination is not booming for the time being, so candidates from these two provinces have quotas and preferential treatment."
Li Cheng said: "If you want to be a soldier, change yourself to a Chinese name and a Chinese surname. I will form a local army, and people of all ethnic groups can join the army. You have fought in the war. If you are also literate, you can lead at least a hundred troops, and you will be promoted if you perform meritorious service in the future."
With the expansion of the Jin Kingdom, several major Jurchen tribes have their own sub-bases.
He Shilie Zhining’s hometown is in Baicheng City, Jilin Province.
That has been designated as the area directly under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate. The local Jurchen tribes can choose to migrate or stay and organize households to integrate the people.
Heshi Liezhining was unwilling to move. He was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. He was used to living in the city and could not bear the tribal life.
He Shilie Zhining knelt down and said to Li Cheng: "I would like to change my name to Shi Zhining, and join the people in the Ming Dynasty to create a household. I will join the army to help the Governor to pacify the four directions. I can also go back to my hometown to persuade the people, and we can become a common people in the Ming Dynasty." "
"Okay!" Li Cheng was very happy.
He wanted to be promoted quickly but was worried that he would not be able to win over the generals, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the guardian of Anton. Anyway, he could be transferred back to the capital in ten years at most, which was also a shortcut.
However, there were not many soldiers who volunteered to come to the Andong Protectorate. Li Cheng had to recruit local people and train new troops to supplement his troops.
He Shi Liezhining is good, and he can be focused on cultivating.
Heshi Liezhining was also delighted to receive Li Cheng's praise. He had a very long-term vision and would rather stay as a general of a hundred men than move to become the commander of the Jurchen tribe.
Maybe, I can continue to make meritorious deeds and eventually be promoted to the center of the Ming Dynasty.
I am still very young!
Bai Yangong, who had kidnapped Wu to beg for help, also came forward and knelt down and said, "I am also willing to stay and join the army."
He kidnapped the Emperor of Jin. No matter which tribe he went to, he would probably be looked down upon.
Moreover, he had voluntarily become Chinese, and had been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child. He changed his Chinese name to Han surname when he was a boy. Now that he is a registered citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he has no psychological burden at all, but is complacent and ready to show off his talents.
Li Cheng nodded in approval: "You two are determined. When the new army is organized and trained, I will report to the court and recommend you to be a hundred-man general."
Han Qi first stepped forward and asked: "Jin Hanchen, I wonder how he will be appointed?"
Ma Kuo said: "Civil officials of all ethnic groups in the Jin Kingdom who are over thirty years old can go to Kaifeng to participate in the Enke. This Enke will be opened just for you. Those who pass the Enke will be awarded the title of Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty. Since you are older , and have experience in government, the lowest position can be as a county magistrate, and the highest position can be as a prefect."
"Civil officials and scholars of all ethnic groups in the Jin Kingdom under the age of thirty must take the imperial examination in Liaoning Province, and they can also work directly as scribes locally."
"Of course, there are people who have made great contributions. For example, you do not need to take any exams. The Ming Dynasty court will directly grant you an official position. You will temporarily stay in the Andong Protectorate to assist the protector in reorganizing households and people. If you complete this important task, you will definitely be promoted. ."
Han Qixian was overjoyed, turned around and kowtowed in the direction of Kaifeng, then bowed to Ma Kuo and Li Cheng.
Everyone was happy except Wu Qimai who was caught.
Wanyan Zongpan left with a complicated mood and started to relocate the clan members and build a new tribe.
Because of the coup, the relationship between his brothers was tense, and he didn't know which one would be willing to move with him.
In fact, he himself didn't really want to move.
Because we can’t take away the serfs, we can’t take away the Bohai, Han, and Khitan craftsmen. What’s the point of moving to Hugai City?
Although there is a small town there, it is dilapidated and old.
Wanyan Zongpan, who had enjoyed wealth since childhood, could no longer live without the prosperity of Beijing.
After thinking about it, Wanyan Zongpan actually approached Li Cheng and said, "Protector, can I stay here? Keep my house, and my servants will sign the deed, and leave my family's belongings. I know I can't pass the imperial examination. I can work as a scribe in the Duhu Mansion. As for Hu Gai's command, I can give it to my younger brothers."
Wanyan Zongpan has made a lot of money over the years, enough to make him a rich man for the rest of his life.
Li Cheng thought he had heard wrong, and then laughed loudly: "Since you are willing to stay, I will serve as an official of the imperial court. If your majesty is happy, it is possible to give you an official position in the Protectorate."
There are many Jurchen nobles who are accustomed to city life.
In order to appease those nobles and officials, Li Cheng and Ma Kuo did not ransack their homes. They only confiscated the properties of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Xiyin, Jin Wushu and other deceased people according to the amount of confiscation that Wu Qimai had.
In addition, the properties of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and others who died early were also confiscated.
More than half of the young nobles who had not had their property confiscated and whose father and brother were killed in battle chose to stay and set up households, even if they were killed, they would not move to live in the tribe.
They can speak Chinese, read Confucian poetry and books, and even imitate the dress of Han people.
He doesn't know how to farm, he doesn't know how to fight, he can only enjoy happiness in the city.
This situation made Li Cheng dumbfounded and ran to Ma Kuo to discuss it.
Ma Kuo said: "They can be allowed to stay, but they must change their Han names when registering households. Don't plunder their property, but also protect it well and let them squander it to their heart's content, so as to activate the industry and commerce in the city. Register households in all parts of the countryside to bring people together. , freeing slaves and dividing the land, absolutely no mistakes are allowed. There are farmers, industry and commerce. If this is managed for ten years, Andong will protect the city and the areas directly under the jurisdiction. Even if Han criminals are not exiled, the land of the Han family can be quickly managed. By then, Li Duhu, you will have done a great job!"
"I will do as Mr. Ma said." Li Cheng began to dream about the future.
