Chapter 331: Goodbye Kublai Khan
Everyone sighed and entered the city, which means that Suzhou has been taken, and 10 million people are defending the city, how can this fight back? I don't have this strength at all.
Even if all the four million soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were sent over, it would be useless, and they would not be able to fight at all.
Including Song Duzong, they all felt helpless at the moment, it was over, the Great Song Dynasty was hopeless, and he had completely lost hope.
Empress Dowager Xie said: "Take a look, what should I do when I wait for this?" How else can this be dealt with Mongolia? Ladies and gentlemen, if you can think of a way, the mourning family will definitely give him a gold medal for avoiding death, no matter what crime he commits, as long as he is in the Great Song Dynasty, he can be spared from death once. ”
Everyone was very excited, this is a good thing, but it still exists in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, if Mongolia wins the world, what is the use?
There is a great humanitarian: "The emperor and the queen mother, we have no other way than to recruit troops and buy horses, after all, the gap with the Mongolian army is too far, and at least fifteen million people can have the possibility of a draw."
"It's just that more than 10 million people can't be recruited in a short period of time, and many people are already disappointed in the imperial court, even if they are thieves, they are not willing to join the army."
"Don't want to join the army? Why is that? Why did the court not treat them? Do you have to give a lot of silver? When has this been? The Great Song Dynasty is dying, so they are not worried at all?"
The man was silent, he didn't know how to answer at the moment, and he didn't dare to say anything more. "My lord, the mourning family asks you, tell me, why are the people unwilling to join the army? Why is my court sorry for them?"
Originally, everyone knew what they knew, but Empress Dowager Xie didn't seem to know, or she had forgotten it.
The king of the military department said: "Back to the Queen Mother, it's not because the people have been oppressed by officialdom for a long time, there are many people who hate the court to death, like enemies, you say, how can you get it?"
Jia Rudao shouted, "These people are really, it's already this time, could it be that they can't tell the difference?" If the Great Song Dynasty was gone, they would sooner or later die at the hands of the Mongols. ”
"The Queen Mother. On the matter, Weichen suggested that it was mandatory to go to the street to arrest the strong man and come back to join the barracks, and if he did not obey, he would be beaten directly, or beheaded on the street. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh, and many people began to oppose it, if they continue to use violence, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will disappear faster.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Prime Minister Jia's words are wrong, you must not be so reckless, if we really do this, there may be huge consequences, as for the consequences, I can't bear it at all."
"Yes, the emperor, we also think so, the common people join the army either for silver, or to defend the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor and the queen mother, Weichen thinks that they can go to the street to recruit military service, and those who join the army will be paid one or two silver per month per person.
Jia Rudao immediately obstructed, "This lord, Jia thinks what you said is inappropriate, at present, the Great Song Dynasty needs at least 10 million people, so it is 10 million taels of silver in a month, 10,000 taels a year, and there are also food and other materials, what does the Great Song Dynasty use to support people at present?"
"Your Excellency, haven't you considered these questions? Don't say that at this moment, even when my brother-in-law Song Lizong was in power, Da Song couldn't take out this silver.
"Also, Da Song doesn't have so much money at all, what do you use to support people now? I said the Emperor. The Queen Mother, you should know this, but Wei Chen has a note, that is, at this moment, he immediately took someone to search the mansion of the lords of the Xuande Palace. ”
"The emperor and the queen mother, if the adults don't have any silver at home, it's just that, if the amount is very much, it exceeds the amount of money, then why don't we confiscate all this silver and use it as military salary?"
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, everyone looked panicked, and they naturally knew what they were doing.
Song Duzong slapped his thigh and stood up from the dragon chair, "This method is good, I believe that you should have saved some silver over the years, otherwise, I will borrow some for you."
"Little Fuzi, pass on my order, immediately bring people to the mansion of all the adults to search, if there is no silver, it will be fine, if there is, then the ox will take away nine-tenths, and at the same time, each adult will take down how much he has taken here."
"It's the emperor." Xiao Fuzi ran out, and every adult was in a cold sweat on their foreheads, and they had an ominous premonition, Jia Rudao seemed to be attacking him.
Empress Dowager Xie also agreed with this statement, "Jia Aiqing, your attention is good, the mourning family is very satisfied, today we still have an important matter to discuss, that is, Jia Aiqing, the mourning family hopes that you can bring 10 million taels of silver and go to Suzhou immediately." ”
"Jia Aiqing, you don't have anything else to do, the current thing is to give the silver to Kublai Khan, and we will continue to make peace, whether he agrees or not, then it will give us enough time, at least we can expand the army, right?"
Jia Nidao received the order, and these adults who originally wanted to obstruct them didn't dare to say anything now, if they provoked Jia Nidao, there would even be unexpected things happening. After a morning, Jia Rudao left, he went down to Suzhou with 10 million silver, and took the hope of the entire Great Song Dynasty and the people.
But these adults in the Xuande Hall waited until nightfall, and they were still in the middle of the court at the moment, and soon Xiaofuzi's team came back, bringing back a total of 70 million taels of silver.
This number was enough to shock everyone, and a hundred ministers, with an average of 700,000 taels each, suppressed everyone.
However, the current situation is not right, even if Song Duzong has more anger, he will not dare to kill people for this reason, now is the time for the Great Song Dynasty to employ people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should go back, I have delayed you too much time today, and I am very ashamed."
Everyone left, and Song Duzong then came to the back garden and found the Empress Dowager Xie, who bent his legs and knelt heavily on the ground.
"Queen Mother, the child is sorry for you, the child is sorry for the Great Song Dynasty, and the children of the Great Song Dynasty are sorry."
Empress Dowager Xie looked at the other party, he was really disappointed, this thing, Da Song was about to be killed by him.
If there is still the best candidate for the emperor at this moment, Empress Dowager Xie secretly swore that she must impeach the other party, this emperor, he is not worthy.
"Emperor, you get up and go by yourself, the mourning family doesn't want to see you now, it's really annoying you, if you can't figure it out and want to commit suicide, then quietly, you know?"
"Queen Mother,...
"What's wrong with you? Did you ask for sin, or did you come with an explanation? Enough, the mourning family has annoyed you now, if Song Lizong has a son, how can this emperor be yours? Daydream. ”
“... Queen ,..."
"You're enough... Empress Dowager Xie sighed deeply, very, very helpless, she was already annoyed, and now she didn't want to see Song Duzong at all, she didn't want to be the emperor at all, why could such a person be the emperor?
If he hadn't had the help of himself and these ministers, how could he be where he is today? It's impossible.
"Emperor, let's go, the mourning family doesn't want to see you, I don't want to do it at all, how do you love it... The mourning family is very disappointed in you now, and the Great Song Dynasty still has the mourning family, and you are dispensable from today onwards.
Song Duzong wanted to explain to himself, but Empress Dowager Xie just didn't listen, his body walked out slowly, and he wanted to die at the moment, but he didn't dare.
Jia Rudao rushed with 10 million silver overnight, and soon he had returned to Suzhou City, at this moment he had no bottom in his heart, if he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
10 million taels of silver, he has no bottom in his heart, he has no confidence at all, if Kublai Khan does not agree, then he doesn't want to live, it is better to die.
The team soon came to the outside of the city, and at this moment Suzhou had already been surrounded by the Mongol army, like an iron bucket, not even a fly could fly in.
Nurhachi naturally knew Jia Rudao, and after learning that it was silver, he didn't stop it, but said with a smile: "Prime Minister Jia can enter casually, you are my Mongolian friend and a distinguished guest of the Great Khan, so I don't dare to stop you."
"Thank you very much." After Jia Rudao entered immediately, he was soon outside the gate of Suzhou Mansion, where he was waiting for Kublai Khan's summons.
Under the leadership of his subordinates, he soon entered the palace, where Kublai Khan was waiting, and he had learned that Jia Rudao had come with silver, and he was a little happy.
However, compared with the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, he naturally knows which is more important, let alone 10 million taels, even if it is 10,000,000 taels, he can't change his determination at this moment.
In the room, the two sat looking at each other, like an old acquaintance, with a little tenderness in their eyebrows, but Jia Yidao had already seen that there was definitely viciousness hidden in this gentle and watery look.
"Prime Minister Jia, I wonder where you have been in the recent past? Why haven't I seen you all these days?"
"Could it be that Prime Minister Jia has already gone to the Lin'an Xuande Palace? Then told Song Duzong the original end of the matter completely? Hehe, Prime Minister Jia's speed is really fast enough, I didn't expect that it has only been a long time, and he has already returned from Lin'an. ”
Jia Rudao was extremely respectful, "Dahan, at present, the Great Song Dynasty has reached this time, and it has reached the most critical moment, how can Jia not ask the emperor?" You said it yourself, didn't you?"
"Besides, it is Jia's duty to inform the emperor of this matter, how can I pretend not to know? Even if Jia doesn't say anything, well, how can this matter be hidden from Song Duzong and the eyes of the whole Great Song?"
Kublai Khan was not angry, but chuckled: "Prime Minister Jia is serious, in fact, I don't blame you, but I admire Prime Minister Jia very much, by the way, I heard that you brought 10 million taels of silver from Lin'an, I don't know what Prime Minister Jia means?"
Jia Rudao said: "Back to the Great Khan, this is a little bit of my heart for the Great Song Dynasty, and I hope that the Great Khan can accept it, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is currently empty of the treasury, and I really can't take out more silver, Great Khan, I hope you don't dislike it."
