Chapter 332: Purge

After the end of Yan Yongji's public trial, the "Reform Code" was announced, and an uproar was set off in the central capital.

Dajin officials, big and small, who are counting on living on their money, can't find a few in the whole of it. Wan Yan Kang's "benevolent" act of preserving three times the legitimate family wealth was, in their opinion, like cramping and peeling the skin.

The provisions of the Reform Code can be ignored, Gongsun Yu's warning is taken as a deaf ear, and most officials are trying to transfer their assets.

Three days later, Gongsun Yu presented the list of assets that the officials had voluntarily handed over to Wan Yankang's desk.

Wan Yan Kang glanced slightly, revealing an elusive smile: "The wealth of the civil and military forces in the city is counted together, it is not as good as half of Wan Yan Yongji, interesting, interesting......"

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Gongsun Yu also had a headache, judging from all indications, the result of this property inventory can be regarded as a collective protest by officials.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and everyone who wants to come to this city is full of civil and military fights.

Wan Yankang drew a circle on the list of King Rong's Mansion and King Zhao's Mansion: "The rest, act according to law, and be sentenced to beheading, you don't have to report to me!" ”

Gongsun Yu bowed and went out of the palace with frost on his face.

With Gongsun Yu's order, the army went out all over the city, breaking down doors and raiding homes everywhere.

Ninety percent of the princes and ministers were dismissed from office, sixty percent were thrown into prison, and no less than 100 people were reported to Wan Yan Kang for beheading.

Wanyan Hongxi and Wanyan Honglie begged to see each other overnight, begging Wanyan Kang to open up and not be so cruel.

Wan Yankang put the list of the first report and the summary list of the family in front of the two of them, and sighed: "Two princes, it's not that I act fiercely, it's really that people's hearts are insufficient!" ”

When Wanyan Hongxi was in power, he often had a headache due to insufficient taxes, and at this time, seeing that the difference between the properties listed in the list before and after was more than ten times, Wanyan Kang got tens of millions of taels of silver by raiding his home, and he exclaimed: "My Dajin official gentry was so rich, if it was ...... at the beginning"

Wan Yankang smiled: "Uncle, I did this thing of raiding the whole city, but you can't do it." What's more, I am afraid that nearly half of the wealth of my Dajin is concentrated in this central capital, and the wealth of local officials is limited. ”

Wanyan Honglie was still worried: "Your Majesty, all the generals on the front line are from Beijing, this time the blow is too wide, I am afraid that people's minds will change!" ”

Wan Yankang waved his hand: "The chaos has to be cured, and I Jianyuan is innovating, which is to cheer up." Those wine bags and rice bags on the front line, if they don't vote for the south, it will make me a little embarrassed! ”

Wan Yan Honglie was stunned when he heard this, and knew that Wan Yan Kang's moves turned out to be a set of combination punches, so he had to take the opportunity to clean up these old people.

He sighed in his heart, and when he had nothing more to say, he got up and took his leave.

Wan Yankang saw that the two of them looked unhappy, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't bear it, so he took out the list of beheadings reported by Gongsun Yu: "The two of you came to intercede, I can't give no face at all." In this list, there are two people in each circle of ten people, and the people in the circle, I will let them live. ”

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache to read books and read aloud offline!

After seeing that Yan Kang gave him some face, the two were very relieved, and studied the list for a long time, circled the names of twenty people, and then said goodbye and left.

On the way, Wan Yan Hongxi saw Wan Yan Honglie sighing continuously, and couldn't help but persuade: "The matter has come to this point, and we can save twenty lives, which is commendable." ”

Wanyan Honglie shook his head: "Third brother, I'm not sighing for this. Kang'er to you

He also called him uncle, but he was ...... to me."

At this point, he couldn't help but choke up in his voice.

Wanyan Hongxi patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "In any case, he is not a person who kills indiscriminately, and he still has a little bit of old feelings, which is always the luck of my Wanyan family." ”

Wanyan Honglie turned around and looked at the palace, and understood in his heart that the close father-son relationship in the past could never go back to the past.

Five days later, all kinds of changes in Zhongdu reached Wan Yan Gang's ears, and he looked at the "Reform Code" and laughed: "The little bastard is so perverse, God really helps me!" Then he sent spies to spy on the truth and sent messengers to the enemy camp to lure him to surrender.

Two days later, the generals of the Northern Dynasty led by Wan Yan'an, the general of Pingnan, offered Taiyuan and Zhending, and led an army of 100,000 to the south.

After Yan Gang's surrender, he was complacent for a while, thinking that there was nothing else in the world. He played the banner of eliminating traitors and rebels and putting things right, and personally led an army of 250,000 to the north, trying to break through the central capital in one fell swoop and set the country.

Along the way, people from all over the country gathered, all of whom opened the city to accept the southern army.

Wan Yangang became more and more proud, and shouted several times: "There is a lot of help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust, the ancients will not deceive me!" ”

Wanyan Hongyan also traveled with the army, and when he descended from Wanyan An and others, he tried to recruit new people and get rid of his puppet status.

After Yan Gang noticed his small movements, he had the idea of abolishing this puppet several times in his heart, but he thought that Zhongdu was right in front of him, and finally he couldn't help but do it.

……

"Report! The army of the south has reached the central capital for 100 miles! ”

Wan Yankang sat in the marshal's mansion and began to give orders: "Juekong, you lead the unequaled army to attack and disturb!" ”

"Yes!"

"Ma Tie, you command the infantry to defend Beijing, and the whole city is under martial law. If you encounter a person who commits trouble, you can cut it first and then play! ”

"Yes!"

"Wu Shiman, you go out of the city first, and let Wanyan Hongyi lead the new army back to the city."

"Yes!"

Wu Shiman had just walked to the door, and Wan Yankang stopped him again: "Wait, I'll go with you." Then, together with Wu Shiman, he took a platoon of personal soldiers and went to the south of the city at a gallop.

"See Your Majesty!" Wan Yan Hongyi learned that Wan Yan Kang was coming, and immediately went out of the camp to greet him, ready to kneel on one knee.

"No courtesy." Wan Yan Kang pulled him up and entered the camp into Wan Yan Hongyi's tent.

"Your tens of thousands of horses, how is the morale of the army?" Wan Yankang asked first.

"Your Majesty, the military spirit is acceptable, but these tens of thousands of horses have not been in battle, and they are only afraid of ......" Wan Yan Hongyi thought that Wan Yan Kang was here to incorporate the new army, but now, although he has no intention of resisting, he is worried that the people and horses he brought out will be pushed forward to be cannon fodder.

Wan Yankang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry too much, I don't need you guys yet." ”

Wanyan Hongyi hesitated a little: "Nan Reverse is known as an army of 500,000? ”

Wan Yankang snorted coldly: "The south is against the trend, comparable to Temujin?" After Mo finished speaking, Yan Gang's army of 500,000 was originally a false report, even if there was really an army of millions, but it could be destroyed! ”

Wu Shiman hurriedly took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, you are now a golden body, you can't go into battle in person!" ”

Wan Yankang glared at him angrily: "What is the idea, I don't know yet?" ”

Wu Shiman saw that Yan Kang instantly saw through his intentions, and immediately laughed.

Wanyan Hongyi hadn't figured out Wu Shiman's words yet

I don't have time to think about it anymore. Zhongdu came to the state, then went to Linhuang Mansion through Xingzhong, then went south to Dading Mansion, and finally returned to Zhongdu. This is the training route arranged by Wan Yankang, and he immediately led his troops to set off.

"Of the 50,000 people, I only need half at most." Wan Yan Kang's words kept echoing in Wan Yan Hongyi's mind, making him dare not slack off, and at the same time secretly complained.

What do you say?

Wanyan Hongyi, the chief general of the new army, was ordered by Wanyan Kang not to ride a horse, so he had to walk with the soldiers on foot. Although Wanyan Hongyi's kung fu is good, after all, he is not confused after he is old, and he has never practiced internal strength, and his foot strength is not much stronger than that of ordinary young soldiers.

Wan Yan Hongyi was a little puzzled at first, but later he came to his senses and understood that Wan Yan Kang was taking the opportunity to punish himself. After figuring out this move, he felt much more comfortable.

Here, Wanyan Hongyi led the new army to leave the camp, and Wanyan Kang ordered all the cavalry to go out of the city and gather in the new army camp to wait for the battle report from the front.

Half a day later, Juekong led his troops back, knelt on one knee, and reported the military situation to Wan Yankang: "Your Majesty." ”

Wan Yankang interrupted him: "In the army, you can still call it a handsome, everything is simple." ”

Juekong got up and saluted and began to report on the military situation.

Wanyangang claimed to have an army of 500,000, but in fact there were only 250,000 horses, of which 50,000 were cavalry, and the remaining 200,000 were all infantry. Wanyan Gang's army marched quite strategically, with 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, infantry in the middle army, and 20,000 cavalry on the left and right to protect the two wings.

Wushuang used kite tactics to harass the advance of the Southern Army, which was quite effective at first, killing and wounding thousands while his own side was almost unharmed. Wan Yangang deserved to be a general, and quickly thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy. He ordered the forward battalion to be slightly retracted, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks outflanked together, trying to engulf Wushuang in one fell swoop.

Juekong was on the battlefield, always watching and listening to all directions, and he noticed that the enemy forces on the left and right flanks had changed, so he decisively led the army to retreat and quickly escaped from the encirclement.

After escaping a siege, Wushuang no longer attacked the Southern Rebel Central Army, but instead attacked its left flank. Once Juekong sensed the danger, he immediately led his troops to flee, and this attack disturbed for more than an hour, until the Wushuang arrows ran out before returning to the camp.

After Wushuang withdrew, the southern army counted the battle losses and found that the number of casualties was as high as more than 5,000 people, 50,000 cavalry, and 10% of the casualties. There were less than 1,000 horsemen and more than 10 people who attacked the enemy, and the loss was only more than 10 people.

Wan Yan'an, as the chief general of the left wing cavalry, was like ashes for a while, and began to question his move to the south.

Wan Yan Gang was not only afraid, but also felt a little incredible. He asked the equipment of more than ten peerless knights who fell from the horse with arrows, and after a little research, he found that the secret of the unequaled combat power superhuman lies in the strong bow and fast horse.

Wan Yangang immediately summoned the generals, threw out a strong bow, and ordered the generals to test the bow. As a result, only two of his generals were able to pull their bows to the full moon.

Wan Yangang took the opportunity to boost morale: "Everyone, if there are 10,000 people on such flying horses, this commander should tie his hands and descend from the north. But in the opinion of this commander, it is the limit that this army can win 1,000 people. We are waiting for hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how powerful these thousands of flying horses are, it is just a small trouble! ”

"The marshal knows the subtleties, and the soldiers are like gods!" Several of Yan Gang's henchmen immediately clapped their horses loudly.

Wan Yan'an and the others felt that it was reasonable, and they echoed it, and the originally low morale also recovered a lot.

Wan Yangang laughed: "As the saying goes, the poor don't chase." But today's events, we all need to forge ahead, arrive at the city of Zhongdu as soon as possible, and don't let the enemy have a chance to breathe! ”

"Yes!"
