For example, Shi Mobedie'er and others have been fighting fiercely in northern Xinjiang for many years, and now they have become wild beasts. They are also beasts with sharp teeth and bloody teeth that can bite.
Jatta Lahun is different.
Before he defected to Mongolia, he was the hereditary Zhenfang Qianhu in Jeju. The so-called Zhenfang Qianhu was the commander of the Jurchen military households and military villages who had been signed into the military for a long time.
The Jurchens' Meng'an Muke system itself is the integration of military and government. The reason why there are military households specially signed for military status is because in recent years, many low-level Jurchens have been poor and unable to support themselves, so the court had to grant military status and allocate funds.
land for farming.
From the standpoint of the imperial court, this move was called signing troops, but it was actually like a relief effort. Therefore, although the officers who guarded thousands of households had the title of "meng'an" and "scheming to defeat", they were low-level military positions without professional titles.
It is not until they retire in old age that they can be awarded intermediate and lower martial ranks in the name of "service". The highest level is only seventh rank, which is far from the chief officers who have moved inland to Anmouke.
The imperial court did this out of consideration, but these officers who guarded thousands of households were naturally unwilling to do so. They were unable to resist the imperial court, so they could only try their best to squeeze the Jurchen military households under their subordinates, relying on them to farm or provide support, and
Make money for your family.
For example, Jiata Lahun's ancestors have been sitting on fertile land in the local area for several generations and have become rich and powerful. During the Taihe period, he went south with the army and fought several battles with the Song Dynasty. He did not suffer any losses, but he also gained nothing. When Mongolia
When the army reached Jeju, he was heartbroken and surrendered without any resistance at all.
In the past month, he had been taking care of the Mongolian nobles one after another, and also offered a lot of gold and silver, and even used the beauties in the family as bargaining chips. But the Mongols did not take him seriously. Those barbaric and cruel people
A wolf will only respect the same ferocious beasts, and a sheep, no matter how good it is at flattering, is just food.
For this reason, Jata Lahun was very worried. He knew that he must fight and make meritorious deeds as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later he would be treated as useless trash by the Mongols.
However, where does power come from?
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Laizhou's reinforcements being dispatched, Jata Lahun finally suppressed Zhao Jin and Yang Wan, who had surrendered from northern Xinjiang. However, after completing the mission, he immediately discovered that he wanted to be a dog for the Mongols.
It's not that easy.
What Jattala wanted to do was bark and bark, forcing Zhao Yan, Yang Wan and others to charge forward. But the idea of the Mongolian nobles was very simple. Whichever dog barked the loudest should bear the heavy responsibility.
And because of the Mongolians' tenacity and resistance to war, the combat missions they proposed were often extremely difficult.
For example, this time, Jiata Lahun has to make a long-distance attack, passing through most of Yidu Prefecture where the Jin army is stationed everywhere, and finally has to deal with the powerful general Guo Ning, the military governor of the Navy, under the city of Yidu!
this……
Doesn't it mean that this position of "Chief Security Officer of the Four Routes" is just a guide? How can he become a pioneer? If I, Jata Lahun, had this ability and was such a brave general, I would not only be able to defend thousands of people in the Great Jin Kingdom.
With the title of householder, become a rich man?
Jatarakhun didn't react at the time. After returning to the camp, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was simply trembling.
However, when the Mongolian nobles gave the order, there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, and they could only be forced to do it, and those who didn't want to were forced to do so. The Mongolians served them with swords and axes at will, without showing any mercy.
Jatarakhun must send troops, and he can only send troops.
That night he urged his troops to set off and rode the horse all night. His legs were almost worn out by the saddle and he was so tired that he felt dizzy. And the soldiers under his command were even more exhausted and complained endlessly. There were at least a hundred people of twenty or thirty on the way.
The people fled under the cover of night, and Jatalahun captured five or six of them, beheaded them in public, and urgently issued a military pay to boost morale.
After marching for dozens of miles, it was early morning the next day, around Maochu time.
Thousands of men and horses took a short rest, then swam across the Zi River with ropes wrapped around their waists, bypassing Linzi City where the Jin army was gathering heavy troops.
Although Jata Lahun repeatedly ordered Qianmei to keep his voice low, his soldiers were used to being lax. They made noisy noises while lining up and made a splash when crossing the water, which finally alerted the defenders in the city.
Only a shrill cry was heard in the silent night sky, and the Jin Army camp behind the continuous barrier roared like a disturbed hornet's nest. Countless soldiers and horses were shouting and mobilizing inside, and the lights were lit like stars.
Jatarakhun felt cold all over for a moment.
Jiata Lahun's headquarters has about a thousand people. It has recently received hundreds of troops from Hebei East Road, totaling more than 1,500. Among them, nearly 30% are armored elites and more than 200 horses. It is considered a quite powerful army.
Already.
But after all, he is a Jurchen who has been in Shandong for a long time. The commander-in-chief of Shandong Army, Wanyan Salara, is his superior who is seventeen or eighteen ranks higher than him, and his power is still there. Ruo Wanyan Salara led nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in the city to attack
Come out, he really doesn't know how to resist the enemy!
Fortunately, the Jin army was just noisy and did not move out.
Screams were heard one after another in the city, and they were loud and scary. But if you listen carefully, you can see that there is a hint of panic in the shouts. There were vague figures of defenders on the city walls, but most of them clung to the crenellated walls and did not dare to show their heads.
.
Even the scout cavalry that was urgently sent out only lingered on the dark black river embankment in the distance, unwilling to get close to investigate. Jatta Lahun sent a small number of light cavalry forward to drive them away, but they immediately fled.
What's happening here?
Could it be...
Are they afraid? With several times the number of troops, they are actually afraid?
Of course, Jatarakhun has seen such a scene. He himself was once a trembling general who huddled in the city. But at this moment, he was in a different place. He changed from the one who was afraid to the one who was feared.
This feeling really makes people...
Jattarajun suddenly understood.
His livid face gradually turned red, his breathing became heavier, and his bloodshot eyes began to shine.
Around him, the initially frightened and shaken confidants began to understand and showed ferocious smiles.
No wonder Yang Wan, Zhao Quan and others are attacking cities and plundering territory everywhere, looking very fierce. So that’s it! That’s it!
"Hahahaha! Did you see it? Did you see it?"
Jata Lahun's somewhat crouched body suddenly straightened up, as if a heat surged from the soles of his feet, filling his body with courage. He waved his whip and urged his horse to gallop back and forth on the river beach, causing water to splash everywhere.
He shouted loudly: "Dajin is finished! All the troops of Dajin are as cowardly as mice. They are afraid of the Mongol army! So, they are afraid of me! They dare not go against me, Jatta Lahun! They are also afraid
You! Afraid of the swords and guns in your hands, afraid of you cutting off their heads!"
This moment is the same as that moment. Today's Jattaharahun is no longer the Jattaharahun of the past. With the majesty of the Mongols, we are a strong army! We can make the enemy frightened!
"Instruct all the ministries to work hard, speed up the crossing of the river, and speed up the march! In another hour, I will chop off Guo Ning's head at the foot of Yidu City!"
After shouting twice, there were many responses, but they were not active enough.
So Jata Lahun shouted again: "Send an order to all the ministries. After defeating Guo Ning, everyone will be rewarded with a copper coin and two pieces of silk! I won't take any of the materials and goods brought by Guo Ning's troops, and I will reward you with them all! Some of them will be beheaded.
If you are successful, I will reward you women as well!"
This time thousands of people shouted in unison.
Although the impoverished Jurchens were driven out of nowhere, and the cavalrymen whose teams were scattered were exhausted, they all shouted loudly. In the wild shouts and shouts, their wavering and doubts disappeared, replaced by the ferocity of wild beasts.
and violent.
The force of more than a thousand men simply made no cover and marched at full speed.
Chenshi.
East of Yidu City, at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
Guo Zhongyuan saw a knight with a beard rolling his saddle and dismounting beside the road from a distance, staggering.
Several soldiers rushed over to help him and came all the way to the front.
The knight's light armor was cut in several places, and his shoulders and legs were hit by several arrows, stained with blood. On both sides of the saddle bridge, there were several bloody heads hanging, and the blood covered the front half of the horse.
dyed red.
Pushing away the support of the soldiers, the knight strode forward, bowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Report to the general, there are traces of enemy troops thirty miles away! However, they are not Mongols, but surrendered troops, numbering more than a thousand.
, three hundred cavalrymen."
Guo Zhongyuan nodded.
He did not rush to give orders, but instead smiled and said to the knight: "I remember you, you are Zhang Hui!"
After reining in his horse and returning, Guo Zhongyuan said to his companions: "Did you see it? This is the Zhang Hui I told you about! He is good at using big guns, brave and good at fighting. He is the Zhang Fei of our army!"
Zhang Hui was so praised that he smiled from ear to ear and said repeatedly: "General, I still have some strength left, and I am willing to explore the enemy's situation again!"
Guo Zhongyuan asked someone to help him down, wrap up his injuries and rest, and then said: "Beat the drums, blow the trumpets, raise the flags, and prepare to meet the enemy."
Following his order, the red military flag unique to Guo Ning's command and the standard five-color flag representing the Ding Navy Jiedushi both stood up.
However, among the generals under the flag, Guo Ning was not included. The person who actually commanded the supporting army on behalf of Guo Ning was Guo Zhongyuan, the pro-army general.
