Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh Yan Yun

Since Guo Rong's northern expedition and acquired Ying and Mo's two prefectures, although the Yanyun area, which was damaged by the war, was at least slowly recovering.

For the Liao Kingdom, the Yanyun area is not only a holy place to avoid the cold during the winter period, but also the most developed area in the country. It provides the Liao Kingdom with a large amount of food, cloth and iron. It can be said that the Yanyun area was obtained, which seemed to allow the Liao Kingdom to obtain sufficient dairy cows.

Therefore, I cherish this place more and more.

In view of this, the Central Plains dynasty was tirelessly trying to fight the Northern Expedition, and Guo Rong even took away the two states, which made the Liao people pay more attention to Yan Yun.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun range from Datong, Shanxi to Hejian, Tianjin, and Beijing in Hebei. The land is vast and millions of Han people live in this time.

To this end, in terms of military affairs, the Liao Kingdom stationed the Han army in Youzhou, including Shenwu, Guanhe, Yulin, Xiaowu, etc. in the Youyun area, with about 18,000 cavalry.

The remaining troops included Khitan, the nine-girl Xi, the south and north Pishi, and the eight tribes. The four towns behind the mountain had about 108,000 cavalry, and 5,600 people were guarding the interests of the Khitan. The remaining 93,950 troops prepared for the invasion of the south.

In other words, there were more than 100,000 soldiers in Youyun area, in order to suppress the Han people in Youzhou and prepare for the south invasion.

When the Later Jin Dynasty ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Khitans, like the later Jin people and the Qing Dynasty, tried to move their slavery to the Han people.

What's the meaning?

It is to encircle land and use the Han people as slaves.

This naturally aroused a lot of resistance. Yelu Deguang was very angry and could not kill everyone!

Therefore, there was a system of one country, two systems, and two courtyards in the north and south, which was to govern the Han Dynasty and implement it in the Youyun area to stabilize the Youyun area.

However, the brutal ethnic policy has not been abolished. If the Han people killed the Khitans, they would have to pay their lives. If the Khitans killed the Han people, they would have to pay their lives until the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo and Xiao was in charge of the rule of the Song Zhenzong period and formally demanded that the Han people and the Khitans would have to be killed.

Only legally equivalent.

Of course, there are also some who are doing well. Han, Liu, Ma and Zhao, the four major families have become the top ones. Every autumn, they go south to escape the summer heat. These Han families, together with the children of Yelu and Xiao, plunder the wives and daughters of Han people.

As a result, the Han people did not dare to let their wives and daughters paint rouge, and even took the initiative to wear worn clothes and disheveled hair, and did not dare to interact with relatives, for fear of being seen.

As for taxation, the Central Plains have already had enough taxes, but the Khitans demanded excessively, several times that of the Central Plains. Coupled with the bullying of the Khitans, the Youyun area has a turbulent tide.

Therefore, it was not fake for the people to eat pots of slurry in Guo Rong's Northern Expedition and the Yongxi Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty. This is indeed true.

So much so that the God of Che was defeated and went south, and the people touched the heads of their children and grandchildren, and sighed: How unfortunate, they were born as Han sons.

After the Tanyuan Alliance was signed, the Northern Song Dynasty voluntarily gave up the Youyun area. Empress Dowager Xiao also treated her own people and began to light taxes and taxes, imitate the Han and Tang Dynasties, carry out large-scale Chinese activities, conduct imperial examinations, etc.

It was at this time that the people in Youyun area completely accepted the rule of the Khitans and no longer missed the Central Plains.

In Yingzhou, a team of Han soldiers were stationed on the wide roads, and they were also guarding the beacon tower.

Because they are located in the western Liaoning Corridor, there are many merchants coming and going, and more people are still Khitans riding horses and carriages.

The Khitans have not yet been Chinese, so many people have their heads and their braids hanging on both sides. Although the sunset is gradually setting, they may encounter them under the illumination of the remaining light, after all, there is reflection!

A team of Han soldiers were wearing shabby Rong robes, which was the style of the Han army. If you were aware of the goods, you would still know that this was from the Later Jin Dynasty.

The Han army, which had about twenty people, stood on the beacon tower, looking at the endless stream of horses and crowds, and when they met a Khitan woman walking on horseback, they also commented privately.

And if it were most of the Han girls, they would hold their breath and dare not speak, even if they were beautiful.

Because the Khitans might not understand, but if the Han girls were allowed to go south and avoid the cold, they were basically high-ranking families among the Han people and could not afford to provoke them.

"Head, these Khitans have to go south to avoid the cold again!" A tall and thin soldier couldn't help but sigh at the endless cavalry.

"After autumn passes, snow is everywhere on the grassland, and the cattle and sheep are hard to bear, and these Khitans can't stand it. Although Youzhou is colder, at least it has cities and food, but it can't freeze people!"

Holding a dish dumpling in his hand, Qin Li chewed carefully. Looking at his brothers' "eyeing" eyes, he quickly put it in his arms and raised his chest.

"Look at it carefully. If any noble man is trapped in the carriage, it is better to go over and help. Some people are happy and can also give some money. It is feasible if they don't have the bacon."

Looking ahead, Qin Li turned his head and said to a group of half-starved Han soldiers.

"Here—" Everyone responded weakly.

Although the Han army had a large number of people in all the Khitan troops, it was indeed the lowest in status. The high-ranking officials were basically the Khitans and did not serve as soldiers at all. Therefore, the corruption was very serious. The Han army was insufficient in logistics and food, which was the most simple and shabby among all the troops.

Qin Li had no choice. He was strong and naturally ate a lot. Although he was a team leader, he was about the same as ordinary soldiers and had no room for empty salary.

"Boom--"

Suddenly, a large-scale vibration began to occur on the ground, and the beacon towers were trembling slightly. Qin Li was suddenly shocked and looked into the distance. He saw dust covering the sky and the sun constantly coming, covering the entire road.

"There are at least a thousand cavalry--" Qin Li murmured, and he hurriedly called the soldiers to clear the road and let the cavalry pass by.

The Khitans on the road also realized instantly, and hurriedly hid on the side and left the road empty.

Soon, Qianqi, led by several young men, finally arrived at this small beacon tower and stopped for the time being.

Several young men, with rosy complexion and wearing royal blue right-side robe, telling their identity as Han people, but their robe and hem were only about the knees and were still some distance away from their shoes, and told everyone that they were in the upper level of the Liao Kingdom.

?The shorter the hem is conducive to riding. The deeper the Khitans' Chineseization in the later period, the longer the hem is, and it is common for them to lose their shoes.

The boys talked and laughed, but did not change their colors by disturbing the pedestrians at all. When the Han army was waiting for the battle, they seemed to see ants, and they didn't even look at them, and talked and laughed.

Among the Khitans who gave in, there were also those with bad tempers. When they saw that they were Han people, they were full of courage. Just as they were about to move, the sharp-eyed ones beside them immediately grabbed them and muttered words like the Han family, which made the angry Khitans calm down in an instant.
