There were actually quite a few Han people serving the Khitans, among whom the Han family of Yutian and the Geng family of Shanggu were the most powerful.
Han Zhigu of the Han family married a girl from the Xiao family in the Khitan clan, and Geng Chongmei of the Geng family simply married the niece of Yelu Abaoji and the cousin of Yelu Deguang.
Historically, both families were the best among the Khitan Han people, better than the average Khitan nobles. The two families had also been married for generations, and they were extremely prosperous.
However, in this time and space, the experiences of the two families are still somewhat different.
Geng Chongmei of the Geng family followed Yelu Deguang into the Central Plains and fought at the Hutuo River. After Du Chongwei surrendered, he went to capture Yizhou with great satisfaction and personally killed Guo Lin, the governor of Yizhou in the later Jin Dynasty.
But unfortunately, Guo Lin, who was killed by Geng Chongmei, soon became a loyal minister and righteous man named Zhang Gao.
Correspondingly, Geng Chongmei, who served the Khitans as a Han and also killed Guo Lin, had a completely bad reputation.
During the Battle of Luoyang, Geng Chongmei was captured at Xiaoyi Bridge. He was immediately caught by Guo Lin's son, and his wrists were cut open to pay homage to Guo Lin.
After Yelu Deguang died and killed Hu Lin, Zhang Gao ordered the release of the Khitan guards who were willing to die for Yelu Deguang, but all the Han officials who followed Yelu Deguang were executed.
Geng Chongmei's two sons, Geng Shaoji and Geng Shaozhong, were among the dozens of Han officials who were killed.
Therefore, in this time and space, before the Geng family in Shanggu took off, they were basically killed and extinct.
But the Han family is different. What they do is to manage the place for the Khitan people. It only trains two Han armies and does not involve attacking south.
Although Han Kuangye and Han Kuangtu followed them into the Central Plains, one of them was soon sent back to Youzhou for admonition, while the other was sent to Hedong as an envoy.
Therefore, the Han family basically suffered no losses. Even when all the Han people were suppressed later, the Han family survived.
Moreover, the Han family also has an advantage, that is, since the ancient times of Han Dynasty, the Han family has had many politicians who are good at local governance, farming and financial management, which has allowed them to avoid many military crises.
Historically, the Han family had Han Zhigu, among whom were Han Kuangye, Han Kuangsi, Han Kuangyou, Han Kuangmei, etc., all of whom were great talents in governing the place.
The third generation produced the famous Sulong Bed, where the Queen Mother slept, Han Derang.
This is also an important reason why the Khitan can even be regarded as the Northern Dynasty in history, because fundamentally speaking, they are different from the Xiongnu and the Turks, and more like the Xianbei.
Politically, the Han people are not in a completely ruled class as written in history books. In fact, among the Khitan people, there are many Han officials, and their status is not low.
Not to mention Han Derang, Han Derang's fifth uncle, Han Kuangmei, served as the commander-in-chief of Nanjing's army, the military governor of Tianxiong, the guardian of the army, the governor of Weizhou, the governor of Weizhou, and the founding of the government.
Yi and the three divisions were granted the high position of King Ye.
Therefore, the so-called restoration of Yanyun in the Northern Song Dynasty was simply impossible to achieve, because the Han wealthy families in the Yanyun land had already merged with the Khitan people during the period of Xiao Chuo, the Queen Mother of Chengtian.
Compared with the power the Khitans shared with them, what the Northern Song Dynasty could give was pitiful.
In other words, the window period to regain Yanyun was closed after the death of Yelujing, the sleeping king of Liao Muzong.
Because during the Yelvxian period of Emperor Jingzong of Liao Dynasty, the troika of the Liao Kingdom, Empress Dowager Chengtian, Xiao Chuo, Han Derang, and Brother Yelvxiu came onto the stage of history.
Zhang Hao remembers that in an old film, The Empress Dowager of Liao, the actress who played Xiao Chuo said something very shocking.
"The seeds of the Han people in the Southern Dynasties were sprinkled on the Songmo grassland of the Northern Dynasties. What took root, sprouted and bloomed, and they were the flowers of the Great Khitan."
This is what Xiao Chuo did in history. Starting from her, the Khitans truly took control of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
The people in the Yanyun land also began to call themselves Han people, and called the Han people in the south Song people. This viciousness even deeply affected the Yuan Dynasty.
Starting from the Liao Kingdom and passing through the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, the gap between the northern and southern Han people has become deeper and deeper, and finally developed to the point where the Han princes in the north devoted all their efforts to help the Mongols conquer the Southern Song Dynasty.
This also shows the greatness of Emperor Hongwu. If it weren't for him, the northern and southern Han people would have been divided for another hundred years, and they would really have become two nations.
At this time, in this time and space, Brother Yelvxiu is about sixteen years old, Handerang is seven or eight years old, Xiao Chuo will not be born for four years, and the Geng family in Shanggu has been almost wiped out.
Now the Yutian Han family, as representatives of the Khitan Han people, are extremely frightened.
It wasn't that they didn't want to surrender, but the strategy implemented by Zhang Gao frightened them.
You must know that in the past few years, Zhang Xianxian ordered Geng Chongmei to have his wrists disemboweled and all the Han officials who followed Yelv Deguang to the south to be killed.
Later, Zhao Yanshou was executed (at least in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Yanshou was killed by Murong Nobunaga on the orders of Zhang Gao).
Especially last year, Ma Tingxu, a doctor of the Ma family in Wulu Mountain, was sent by Murong Nobunaga, the governor of Andong, to execute all the more than 90 male members of the clan because of his private contact with Shuluping.
There were only a few wealthy Hanchen families in the Liao Kingdom. The Geng family in Shanggu and the Ma family in Yiwulushan were almost all killed by Zhang Yan and Murong Nobunaga's father and son.
If Zhao Kuangzan had not been born in the Lulong Zhao family, the whole family would probably have been doomed.
The only one was the Liu family in Changping. Their family had produced scribes for generations. Murong Nobunaga was lacking talented scribes, so he was doing better.
Therefore, as the only remaining Yutian Han family with the highest status among the Khitan Han people, how could they dare to seek refuge with them?
Because of Shao Ming's disgust with the Han people serving the Khitan Kingdom, who knows if he will remember it at some point and pull out their whole family and kill them.
When Han Kuangsi made up his mind and walked out, he saw his fourth brother Han Kuangyou and his fifth brother Han Kuangmei who had been waiting outside.
As soon as she saw Han Kuangsi's face, Han Kuangmei became excited.
"Third brother finally decided to take action? A certain person has long said that as long as Shu Luping is tied up and presented to Emperor Shao tomorrow, and a certificate of surrender is presented, our Han family will be considered safe."
Han Kuangsi looked uneasy, "Wu Lang, do you think Emperor Shao will really accept our Han family? The Yin Jian of the Geng family and the Ma family are not far away."
Han Kuangmei shook her head, with a somewhat complacent look on her face, "Third brother, are they worthy of comparing with our Han family?
Geng Chongmei is an idiot. He really thought that he was a Khitan, and after getting some benefits, he actually went to kill Guo Lin himself.
It would be great if you praise a loyal minister like Guo Lin and then tie him up and send him to Emperor Zhuang Miaoli to deal with him. He is already serving a foreign nation, so there is no reason to kill a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty with your own hands.
As for the Ma family, Ma Yanxu is even more confused, even stupider than Geng Chongmei.
After catching up with the prince of Liaoyang County, he quickly sent ten or eight girls from the Ma family to serve King Murong, and then climbed up the high branches conscientiously.
As a result, he was on both ends of the spectrum, wanting to take advantage of both sides without looking at his abilities or where his courage came from.
On the other hand, our Yutian Han family did not follow Emperor Zhuangmiao Li southward to commit any crime, nor did we act as military generals to harass the border areas.
At most, he only guarded one side for the Khitans and trained thousands of Zhangwu Army soldiers. However, even this little force was taken away by Emperor Zhuang Miaoli.
Our ancestors served the Khitans, but they were kidnapped by the Khitans. We, the Han family, did not go out to seek refuge on our own. It can be said that we did not feel sorry for the imperial court in the slightest.
Now that we have kidnapped the Khitan Queen Mother and taken refuge with her, why shouldn't Sage Shaoming treat our Han family preferentially? If we don't give him the title of Marquis and Earl, it will be regarded as the lack of dignity of Emperor Shaoming."
Han Kuangsi nodded repeatedly when Han Kuangmei said this. Of course, there was nothing we could do. If we didn't take action, the Han family would really be killed by the Khitans. No! They should be buried by Shuluping.
....
By the side of Yuluo River, rivers of blood flowed from the slaughtered people. Nearly 100,000 frightened herdsmen were surrounded. The Zhou army's attack had caused at least thousands of casualties.
But the walls they formed with carriages and tents were still effective, and the cavalry hidden in the crowd also made several desperate attacks, but they were all quickly beaten back.
In fact, both sides now lack an effective communication medium.
The people in the frightened grassland understood it according to the laws of the grassland. They felt that at least most of the adult males would be killed, and those who were taller than the wheel would be killed. This had been the practice on the grassland for generations.
The men did not want to die, and the old, weak, women and children were reluctant to have their close relatives killed. This was the driving force behind their resistance.
Zhang Zhou naturally doesn't want to kill them all, but the people on the other side are already in a state of collective panic. If you go up and say not to kill them now, I'm afraid not many people will believe you.
And it won't be effective in a short time, so it is the most convenient way to simply defeat it completely and then collect it again.
"Sage, the former army caught a man who called himself Han Kuangmei and said he had important information. Please see the saint."
Hearing Murong Xinchun's report, Zhang Hao was slightly startled. The surname Han immediately reminded him of Han Derang. He couldn't help it, it was too famous.
Not to mention sleeping with the Queen of Khitan as a Han, sleeping with the Queen as a minister, and the next emperor treated him as his own father. In China's thousands of years of history, that is really hard to find.
Already.
You must know that Xiao Chuo, the Empress Dowager of Chengtian, had been dead for several years at that time, and Han Derang fell ill. Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu still treated him like his biological father, and together with the queen, he gave soup and medicine to Handerang in the hospital bed.
Even if his mother is his own son, he may not be able to do it, which is really shocking and confusing.
So when he heard that the Han family was coming, Zhang Yan immediately decided to summon them.
Soon, Han Kuangmei was led to Zhang Yan.
Good guy, I, Zhang Shengren, raised my eyes and saw that the Han Kuangmei in front of me must be six feet tall. According to Tang ruler, she is basically over 1.85 meters. The outline of her face is as distinguishable as a knife and an ax.
Although he risked his life to break out of the encirclement and surrender, his expression was calm and he walked like a tiger. His physical condition was extremely strong, but his temperament was somewhat of a scholar's demeanor.
Damn, this is simply Peng Yuyan's appearance and Wang Xueqi's temperament. At a sudden glance, his appearance and temperament are even better than Murong Nobunaga's by a factor or two.
Although I don’t know who this Han Derang is, it would not be surprising if Han Derang could have such an appearance and temperament that he would be obsessed with someone like Xiao Chuo.
"Saint! The Yutian Han family has finally waited for the true Holy Lord to revive our Han Dynasty. Since we were kidnapped during the later dynasties, we have been looking south to Master Wang all the time! Today we have finally waited."
Wu Cao! He's still a good actor. Zhang Hao's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
This guy was still seven or eight steps away, and the tears on his face fell down like a flood bursting a bank. Then he threw himself on the ground that was wet with light snow, covered in mud, and cried extremely sadly. It was really
Those who hear it cry, and those who see it feel sad.
This is what I came prepared for! I know what I, Zhang Shengren, do.
But this is also to Zhang's liking. Zhang Shengren doesn't care whether you are pretending to be a loyal minister or a real loyal minister, as long as you are willing to act like a loyal minister and a righteous man.
Zhang Hao waved his hand and ordered someone to pull up the guy who was covered in mud and asked, "Who are you and why do you come here to see me?"
Han Kuangmei immediately stood up, then bowed his head, and then said loudly: "Han Kuangmei, a common man, is willing to bind the Khitan Queen Mother Shu Luping for the saint, and also offer the loyalty of the leaders of at least four of the eight enemy tribes."
