Two hundred and sixty Saba feels very worried

The efforts of the elders of the four dynasties were not successful, which was a major blow to the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

Of course, they were not sure that they could do something that even Windon Sizhong could not do.

As a result, the civil and military officials in the court felt awe-inspiring and had to do their best as Wanyan Liang said. The entire court was in chaos and a harmonious and friendly situation no longer existed.

The bureaucrats who had been pampered for a long time were forced to do high-intensity work that they were not accustomed to under the emperor's forced order.

Ninety-nine six are all extravagant hopes, and 007% of daily life are common. Many bureaucrats cannot bear it, and many people fall ill due to this.

Wanyan Liang was very annoyed by this and ordered all those who fell ill and to replace them with another group of people to work.

In his opinion, these pampered bastards are going to die if they do a little bit of work. What qualifications are there to occupy a high position?

This scared the civil and military officials of the court very much. While working at high intensity, it also made the family try every means to seek high-quality supplements for body replenishment. They must hold on in this high-intensity work process with a breath and must not fall down.

Gradually, this wave of work has shown an arms race.

Although this approach is very inhumane and has made Wanyan Liang lose hearts, objectively Wanyan Liang's actions have streamlined the bloated and inefficient Jinting Central Committee, abolished a group of mediocre, incompetent or weak bureaucrats, and promoted a group of capable bureaucrats to power.

In order to gain the trust of the emperor, these capable bureaucrats will naturally work hard to do things, objectively enhancing Jin Ting's efficiency and better implement Wanyan Liang's orders.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Therefore, the process of Jinting mobilizing troops across the country was pushed forward a big step forward.

Wanyan Liang is definitely not a person who is waiting to die. In order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and stabilize his position, he stepped up his expansion. The number of real female soldiers was not enough, so he even extended his hand to the Khitans.

Since the Khitans were conquered, their lives were not so smooth. Except for a small number of Khitan nobles who were accepted by the Jurchens and entered the court, most of the Khitans even returned to their ancestors' grazing life.

There are seven or eight herds in front and behind the mountains divided along the Yanshan Mountains. Ordinary Khitans live here, herding horses, drinking wind and eating sand, and their quality of life must have been greatly reduced compared to those years ago.

Of course, pure grazing life is not unacceptable. Anyway, most Khitans may not live well in the Liao Kingdom, and they will also be exploited by the powerful people of the Liao Kingdom.

But at least they are not second-class citizens, and they only have Khitan powers on their heads.

However, in the Jin Dynasty, the Khitans became second-class citizens and their political status declined.

Moreover, because the Khitans had severely suppressed and bullied the Jurchens, the Jurchens' attitude towards the Khitans was not very good.

Today, most of the Khitan civilians mainly live in the northern grasslands of the Jin Empire, where they grazed and became a buffer between the Jin Empire and the nomadic cavalry on the grasslands.

For the northwest border defense of the Jin Empire, the Khitans really paid a lot, fighting against the nomadic cavalry on the grassland many times, so they made a lot of sacrifices and killed many cavalry of the nomadic tribes, with deep hatred.

When the mobilization order was sent to the Northwest Road Zhaobian Department, a Khitan named Saba learned about it first.

Saba was a translator in the Northwest Road Raiders. He was familiar with Jurchen and Khitan characters. He usually served the Jurchen Shangguan who did not understand Khitan characters and languages. He was also responsible for helping the Jurchen chief convey the court's orders to the Khitan tribes. He was considered an ordinary civil servant.

Because of his low position and frequent unfair treatment by the Jurchen chief, it is pure joke to say that he has a sense of belonging to Jinguo.

As a civil servant in the Jin Dynasty, he was mainly able to make a living, and he could know the changes in the Jin Dynasty's policies earlier than others, so he could effectively avoid the pitfalls in the policies with his relatives and friends, and even gain some benefits and improve his life.

So Saba is quite prestigious among the group of relatives and friends.

Everyone thought that Saba was a reliable good friend, and trusted him more and promoted his reputation. After a while, the Khitans around them all knew Saba's reputation.

Although the Jin Empire had some excessive policies before, it left some room and did not stimulate the Khitans too much. The Khitans wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, and basically they could tolerate it.

But this time the policy is not a policy that normal people can issue.

Every Khitan family has to produce strong men. Strong men over 18 and under 50 must go to the army to go to war. Even if there are multiple strong men in a family, they are not allowed to stay to serve their parents.

All men who are of the right age who can fight must be dispatched. Except for officials, no family can keep horses. They must devote all of them to war and be used by the Jin Empire.

What a joke?

The strong men are gone and the war horses are gone. So what kind of combat power do we have?

If the nomadic cavalry on the grassland come to rob at this time, what else can we use to fight against?

Saba immediately realized that this was a huge pit. Once he jumped in, the Khitan tribes in front of and behind the mountain would be really finished.

At that time, let alone whether we can make contributions to the Jin Kingdom, we may be beaten in front of us, and our hometown will be promoted by the tribes on the grassland.

This is not possible.

The news spread quickly. The Khitan officials who worked in the Northwest Road recruitment department learned about the news and were very worried. Then this worry spread from the officials to their families and friends, and further spread.

By the end of the first lunar month, basically all the Khitans from the tribes in front of the mountain and behind the mountain knew about this.

Saba was quite prestigious and capable among the Khitan officials who recruited the department of the Northwest Road. Therefore, considering the safety of the tribe, everyone recommended him to discuss with Shangguan Jihe, who was responsible for this matter in the court. Yang Ge and the other two discussed it.

Saba then went to find Ji He and Yang Ge with generous gifts to have further conversations with them.

"The Khitan tribes live on the border of the country and have always had bad relations with tribes on the grassland. They have fought for generations and have deep hatred. Maintaining certain soldiers and war horses is also to guard the border for the court. If we defeat them, the court will be safe.

But now the court wants all our strong men and war horses to join the war. If this news is learned by the grassland and they send large troops to attack, how should we deal with ourselves? Please ask Shangguan to convey our request to the court."

Jihe and Yang Ge accepted the generous gifts from Saba, but turned around but felt worried.

Because of this matter, they learned from the Northwest Road recruitment envoy Wanyan Wo side that the court's attitude was very firm, or the emperor's attitude was very firm.

This matter was promoted by the emperor and ordered it to do so. Many ministers in the court did not agree to do so. Even the elders of the four dynasties, Wen Dunsizhong, told the emperor not to do so, but the emperor insisted on his own.

All the dissuasions have failed. If they do not follow the emperor's orders, they may find it difficult for them to save their lives.

So how can we plead for the Khitans?

They were very upset about this.

Saba urged the two of them to give him a reply every day, asking them if they could be resolved by pleading for love. They were in a dilemma, and they were bothered and said it or not. They were so anxious that they wanted to be ants on the hot pan.

"If I had to say it, it would definitely not be successful, but if the Khitans knew that this matter was not allowed to be changed at all, I was really worried that something might happen here. The court's orders were too strict, and even I thought it would be impossible."

Yang Ge felt deeply worried, sighed all day long, and then accidentally got infected with the cold. After a few days, he couldn't get sick and died.

The remaining dryness has become a frightened bird, and I never want to see Saba again, so I avoid Saba everywhere, making Saba feel that this matter cannot be solved and will definitely advance.

As expected, a few days later, he learned that Wanyan Wo side issued a government order, requiring all departments to immediately advance the conscription work of Khitan tribes and not tolerate any objection.

It is said that even the date of dispatch has been specified.

Saba suddenly felt a bolt from the blue, realizing that something big was not good, he was very anxious, just like an ant on a hot pan, he was restless and didn't know what to do.
