Chapter 903: Wanyan Aguda's Achievements and Faults

"Little immortal, please speak. I'm listening." Wanyan Aguda was very respectful to the little immortal and spoke in a very gentle voice. Of course, he himself felt that it was gentle.

But that was not the case for Li Wu.

However, Kublai Khan, Yongzheng and many people in front of the tent could hear it.

They didn't say anything. After all, rough guys like them were really afraid of scaring the little fairy.

"Then I will continue to talk about your achievements, Senior Aguda. These core achievements include establishing the Great Jin regime, leading the Jurchens to resist the oppression of the Liao Kingdom, establishing a political system, and promoting the development of the Jurchen national culture.

You were the core leader of the anti-Liao movement and the founding of the nation. In 1114, you swore an oath at Lailiu River to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Through battles such as Ningjiangzhou and Chuhedian, you defeated the larger enemy with a smaller force, and increased your military strength from to , laying the foundation.

Later in 1115, he proclaimed himself emperor and established the Jin Dynasty, with its capital in Shangjing Huining Prefecture, marking the official independence of the Jurchen regime from the rule of the Liao Dynasty.

In the Battle of Huanglongfu, the Liao Kingdom captured an important military town in the northeast. In the following year, in the Battle of Hubudagang, the Liao Kingdom defeated the main force of 70 troops with troops, causing the Liao Kingdom to lose the strategic initiative.

Between 1120 and 1123, the five capitals of Liao were successively captured, forcing Emperor Tianzuo to flee westward, which accelerated the demise of the Liao Dynasty.

Establishing a country is naturally a great achievement.

In terms of military and political system reform, you, Senior Aguda, formulated the Meng'an Mouke system. I have already mentioned this Meng'an Mouke system before, so I will not mention it again.

There was also the improvement of the administrative system: the establishment of the Bogile Conference and Anban Bogile, and the establishment of a political framework for the co-governance of the Jurchen nobles.

In terms of culture, you, Aguda, created the Jurchen script. In 1119 AD, you ordered Wanyan Xiyin to create the Jurchen script with reference to Chinese characters and Khitan characters, in order to promote the independent development of national culture.

Speaking of writing, it is really very important. If a nation does not have writing, it will soon be forgotten by history.

Without any written records, how would later generations know about them?

It is precisely because of the existence of writing that we know about the deeds of our ancestors and know about your existence." It must be said that writing is a great invention.

"The little immortal is right. Words are indeed mysterious. Only with words can everything be clearer," Yongzheng also nodded, just like they had their own words.

Kublai Khan and Wanyan Aguda also nodded. Wanyan Aguda naturally knew the importance of words, otherwise he would not have asked people to create words.

The ancestors in front of the sky curtain also agreed with this statement very much, and many of them showed off in the barrage, showing off Chinese characters.

Many ethnic minorities do not have written language, but they all know that they are unlike the Han people who have had written language for a long time.

So the Han Dynasty started quarreling with many foreign races again, and the foreign races said they couldn't win the quarrel, they simply couldn't win.

“Moreover, Senior Aguda, you also strengthened national identity, proposed that the Jurchens and Bohais were originally one family, united the various ethnic groups in the Northeast to fight against the Liao, and realized the transformation of the Jurchen tribal alliance into a centralized state.

These are the achievements of yours, Senior Aguda, and there are actually many more.

Now let me talk about your mistakes, Senior Aguda.

Speaking of mistakes, the main one was that you, Aguda, did not establish a stable right of succession to the throne, which led to frequent power struggles in the late Jin Dynasty.

This successor is really important, and it really needs to be decided early. If I get into danger, get assassinated, or die on the way, who wouldn't want the throne if there's no successor?"

Li Wu looked rather helpless, and Wanyan Aguda fell silent, feeling that what the little immortal said made a lot of sense.

Such a thing happened after the death of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who did not have a successor.

Wanyan Aguda didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to their Great Jin Dynasty in the fight for the throne after his death.

"This is indeed true. The successor must be decided early. If an unexpected event occurs, the country will be in chaos without an successor," said Kublai Khan. As an emperor, Kublai Khan also understood the reasons why those emperors did not want to decide on their successors.

As an emperor, who doesn’t want to be the emperor forever? Who wants others to covet the position under his butt? Even if he is your own son, it won’t work.

"So how to do it is up to you, the ancestors. I am just giving you a suggestion. I will continue to talk about your mistakes, Senior Aguda.

Because of the issue of heirs, many hidden dangers remain.

After your death, Aguda, the throne was passed to your younger brother Wanyan Sheng, rather than to your direct descendants, which continued the Jurchen tribe's tradition of "the throne is passed on to the younger brother after the elder brother's death."

In the subsequent succession of the throne, the royal family fought for the throne with their strength. For example, Wanyan Liang killed the emperor to ascend to the throne, which led to internal friction. "

Actually, I don’t want to comment on this kind of Li Wu. After all, they are of different nationalities and have their own customs. We should not speak too negatively about them.

When Wanyan Aguda heard that regicide had actually happened, his face turned dark.

He was already thinking about what to do, and he naturally hoped that the Great Jin he had established could exist longer.

As expected, Wanyan Aguda was criticized again in the barrage, and Song and Jin started to criticize each other in the barrage again, neither of them giving in. Among them, Liao also criticized Jin, and Jin could not win at all.

"Let me continue," Li Wu glanced at Wanyan Aguda, and seeing that he did not speak, he continued, "After the Jin Dynasty conquered the Liao Dynasty, it did not fully absorb the mature inheritance system of the Central Plains, which led to the prevalence of the concept of 'the competent person takes the throne', and the stability of the imperial power was far lower than that of the Song and Liao dynasties at the same time.

There were also frequent cases of cross-generational inheritance and usurpation of the throne by royal family members, which weakened the central power.

This internal division alone consumed the Jin Dynasty's strength, making it difficult to concentrate resources to deal with the rise of Mongolia, thus accelerating its demise.

I have finished talking about your achievements and faults, Senior Aguda. In fact, you can learn from the inheritance laws of Liao and Song during the same period, which are still very good. How can you afford to engage in internal strife for the throne every day?

Even if this country is not destroyed by other countries, it will end up in internal strife sooner or later," Li Wu shook his head. Internal strife is really not good.

"Don't worry, little immortal, I already know how to do it," Wanyan Aguda said. Now that he has come to the afterlife, his prestige in Jin has become even higher, and he is the founding emperor, so many things will go more smoothly.

"That's good. Let us toast to Senior Aguda again. We hope that the Kingdom of Jin will get better and better under your leadership. But it would be better if we get rid of our easy life first," Li Wu said with a smile, raising the glass.

"Little immortal, we have all been destroyed. I have posted it on the barrage before, but you should not have seen it, little immortal," Wanyan Aguda said. Yongzheng and Kublai Khan nodded, saying that they had been destroyed long ago.

"This, haha, I, I didn't pay attention. There were too many comments and some words were hard to read," Li Wu looked a little embarrassed and could only laugh awkwardly.
