Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

The number of cavalrymen gathered more and more.

These guys were all bandits.

Unwilling to rush in and fight head-on.

He simply kept maneuvering and shooting arrows.

Get a little closer and then immediately create distance.

Gradually, the Jin soldiers were led towards Zhao Li's large infantry formation on the coast (which consisted of only a thousand soldiers).

"You lead the infantry in a charge!"

After Zhao Li finished speaking to Song Jiang,

He immediately rode off to join the cavalry, roaring:

"We should lure even this small enemy group here,"

"Don't you guys just kill them all?"

"Charge with me! Let's wipe out the enemy cavalry first!"

This guy who gets shot like a hedgehog in every battle...

Without saying more than a few words, he led his cavalry in a charge.

Song Jiang muttered, "A madman!"

“Even when my grandfather rebelled, he didn’t fight this hard.”

Li Kui's eyes lit up, and he said:

"Brother, I want to be a cavalryman too!"

"It feels so good to charge!"

The troops stationed in Haibin County,

Even the Jurchen soldiers,

They also belong to the second-line troops.

Seeing Song Jiang leading his infantry forward in formation,

Zhao Li then led several hundred cavalrymen in a charge.

More than twenty Jurchen cavalrymen immediately fled.

Hundreds of Han Chinese infantrymen from the Jin Dynasty were abandoned.

These Jurchen cavalrymen were confused about the situation.

I don't know how many enemies have come.

They were lured here by Shandong cavalry.

It feels like we've been ambushed.

They planned to return immediately to defend the county town.

He also ordered the coastal commander to appoint militia to defend the city.

The Jurchens rode away.

Hundreds of Han Chinese infantrymen also fled.

They've been fighting for so long and they're still confused.

I don't understand why there are suddenly enemies in our rear.

The last cross-sea battle of the Song Dynasty

That was ten years ago.

Moreover, it was a small force that raided other places.

The military and civilians here,

It seems they've forgotten about cross-sea warfare.

Zhao Li took the lead.

Behind them were Shandong bandit cavalry.

They were also inspired by their commander to be highly motivated.

When they rushed closer,

Hundreds of Han soldiers from the Jin Kingdom were routed.

Some even knelt down and surrendered on the spot.

"Those who surrender, carry your weapons and armor with them."

"Kill everyone who's still on the run!"

After Zhao Li gave the order,

He charged out again and started hacking wildly.

The Ming army

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

In just three days,

They abducted salt, people, and livestock.

They cleared the more than ten-mile-long coastal salt fields to the ground.

Everything that could be burned was burned.

Not just houses,

It also includes firewood stockpiled at the salt fields.

And the coastal county town,

But they were so frightened that they frantically conscripted militia to defend the city.

At the same time, the fast horseman requested elite troops to come to his aid.

The elite Jin troops were quickly mobilized.

They were also afraid that other salt fields would be attacked.

Therefore, a large number of troops were deployed to protect the salt fields in various locations.

Chapter 1944 The Bojilie Conference

Zhao Li returned to Dengzhou with the spoils of war.

Extremely satisfied with the results of this operation.

Summon Song Jiang, Shi Huan, and others:

"Those salt fields in the Jin Dynasty,"

"There will definitely be precautions going forward."

"Let's avoid the salt fields,"

"They specifically raid coastal villages,"

"They robbed the able-bodied men and children from there."

"Then burn the whole house down,"

"Only the elderly will be left for the Jin dynasty."

"Let these elderly people go beg outside the prefectural and county towns!"

.....

Even if the Jin dynasty did not achieve victory in its southern campaign,

But just like in history...

After the death of Manduha (Ashebojilie),

Its regime has effectively split into three parts.

Emperor Wuqimai

They've been further sidelined!

The three courts of the Jin Dynasty were—

The inner court, located near Harbin,

The leaders were Wanyan Xieye and Wanyan Zonggan, uncle and nephew.

The Eastern Court, namely the Privy Council of Yanshan (Beijing),

The leader was Wanyan Zongwang.

The Western Court, namely the Privy Council of Yunzhong (Datong),

The leader was Wanyan Zonghan.

Because Wanyan Zonghan was too powerful.

The Inner Court and the Eastern Court are staunch allies.

The three parties are in a delicate balance.

Wu Qimai sometimes struggled and sometimes lay flat.

Life isn't too bad.

After all, the inner court still needs to issue decrees in the name of the emperor.

Who told him to have seized power illegitimately?

Before the Jurchens rebelled,

The leaders of each tribe were called "Bojin".

Accompanied by conquest and annexation,

The joint leader of several tribes was called "Du Bojin".

After Aguda gained power

In order to demonstrate their authority,

He styled himself "Du Bojilie".

They also created a bunch of titles such as Guolun Bojilie, Anban Bojilie, and Amai Bojilie.

The highest authority of the Jin Dynasty

It turned into the "Bojilie Conference".

This can be understood as a council of noble ministers.

Although Aguda did not designate an heir...

However, according to the order of the time, the order was as follows:

and Jurchen tribal traditions,

The throne should be inherited by Wanyan Zonghan.

But Wuqimai took advantage of Wanyan Zonghan's absence,

With three of the five major Bojili absent,

He was forced to wear the imperial robe by relying on the lineage of the Shizu nobles.

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

Wu Qimai must be political,

Give the descendants of Emperor Shizu a sufficient return.
