Chapter 055: The Continuation of Civilization

The Jurchen generals looked at each other, their brows were tightly locked, and no one said a word for a long time, and the atmosphere in the big tent was extremely depressing.

exhausted the strength of the country, and finally had to return in vain, and no one expected that it would be today's situation.

After a long time, Yan Zonghan coughed and broke the dullness.

"Lou Mu, what are the casualties in the past few days?"

"Sticky Han, you're asking knowingly."

Wan Yan Lou said with a wry smile: "My left deputy marshal, in a few days of attacking the city, our army suffered another five or six thousand casualties, plus nearly 10,000 people who died of illness. Now that the morale of the army is low, if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable, and it is better to think of a quick victory!"

Wanyan Yinshu secretly sighed. If they could solve it quickly, they would still be doing it in the ice and snow. Unexpectedly, there was a war against the Song Dynasty, and even a battlefield veteran like Yan Lou Room also said polite words.

Wanyan Yinshu nodded and said: "Our army has been attacking for several months, and we have not broken through the outer city of the Song army, but we have already paid more than 20,000 losses, these cowardly Song dogs are so strong!"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "The weather is getting warmer, and the reinforcements of the Song people have gathered. That King Kang also had an army of tens of thousands. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid that our army's back road will be cut off by the Song soldiers!"

Wanyan Zonghan's eldest son, Wanyan Shehe and Ma were young and vigorous, and when they heard this, they said angrily: "If our army rushes and kills again, Song Gou's defense line will soon collapse." Emperor Zhao Fujin is as beautiful as a flower, I must hold her in my arms and play with her. When my Dajin warriors arrived in Bianjing City, not only did they find nothing, but they lost so many lives under the city of Tokyo, wouldn't it be a shame to spread the word!"

Another Jin general shouted angrily: "I don't believe that Song Gou's bones are so hard!" Tomorrow we will attack the city again, capture some of the Song people's people, and let them charge in front, what do I think will happen to the Song people? Let's take the opportunity to capture the city, enter Bianjing City, and loot it on a large scale, so that the Song people in Bianjing City know how good the sword of my Dajin Dynasty warrior is!"

"Shut your dog's mouth for me!"

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily: "If the walls of Bianliang City could be captured, we would have already entered the city, and we still need the two of you to talk nonsense here." Hurry up and get me down, or be careful with the whip!"

"Sticky Han, don't be impatient!"

Wanyan Lou shook his head and said: "Everyone knows that the beauties in Bianjing City are like clouds, and gold and silver treasures are piled up. The sergeant who came back yesterday said that the one who played the music for the Song soldiers at the head of Bianliang City was Master Li, a famous prostitute in Bianjing City. If you can break Bianliang City, this woman can enjoy it, of course, it is the best. Just ......"

He glanced at the generals around him and continued: "In Bianliang City today, the army and the people are united, and Emperor Song gave up his life to fight us to the end. Even if we break the outer city, there is also the inner city and the imperial city, if this is really the case, I don't know how many warriors we will lose, you must know that the Song soldiers of the king of Qin outside are hundreds of thousands. ”

The Jurchen "seventy-two tribes" have a population of more than 10 million households, and according to the calculation of six people in one household, the Jurchen people themselves are less than one million. If this battle is a heavy death and wound in Bianjing, it will be difficult for the Jurchens to recover for a while, and internal instability factors such as the rebellion of the Liao people will soon emerge, and the Dajin Kingdom will be in danger at that time.

Wanyan Xiyin frowned and asked, "Who of you knows what this Wang Song is from, and how could such a person come out for no reason?"

Wanyan Lou shook his head and said: "I'm also wondering, our army captured the prisoners of the Song people, and there are also loyal and righteous soldiers." After interrogation, they didn't know very well, they only knew that this Wang Song was a native of Henan Mansion, a native of the village, and they didn't know anything else!"

Wang Song killed his son, and he did everything possible to inquire about this person. Who knew that after a few months, it turned out that nothing was found.

If it weren't for this Wang Song, they would have broken through the city of Tokyo, the beauties in the city were tortured by them, and the gold and silver treasures were at their disposal, but now, ......

Not to mention whether the firearms of the loyal and righteous army are powerful, just because they regard death as home, dare to fight with the warriors of the Great Jin Dynasty in the field, and do not fall behind, this is the first time since the Jin people went south.

Wanyan Lou turned around in the big tent a few times, let out a sigh of relief, and said a string of words: "Wang Song, he is eloquent and strategic, and he has a good way of managing the army, if this thief is not removed, it will be my golden henchman!" ”

He pointed to the two round "earth-shattering thunders" on the table.

"These are a few "earth-shattering thunders" that we picked up on the battlefield that did not explode, and they are really powerful. It was also shown to the craftsmen, and they all said that it was gunpowder contained in the iron sheet. We emptied the gunpowder and filled it with our own gunpowder, but it didn't even explode, and it didn't have the original power at all!"

"You may not know that this "earth-shaking thunder" was created by Wang Song himself. This man is not only brave in battle, but also has a lot of insight into strange tricks. Such a wise person, if he is in a high position again, will become the number one enemy of my Dajin in the future, and the trouble of his confidants! ”

Looking at the "earth-shattering thunder" in front of him, Wan Yan Lou's brows furrowed.

"I, the Jurchens, want to conquer the Great Song Dynasty, and this Wang Song is the first hurdle that can't be passed! If the Song people have less reverence for my Dajin, with a population of millions of Jurchens, how can I rule this land of Song people with many people and a large land! ”

Wanyan Lou is a famous general in history, and he naturally has some attainments in marching and fighting. When he said these words, the Jurchen generals below all fell into deep thought, and even Wanyan Zonghan, who had always been unruly, was sitting on the chair at this moment, frowning.

After a long time, Yan Zonghan said: "In the past few days, we have stepped up the siege of the city, and then quickly proposed a peace proposal, asking the Song family to kill Wang Song, this is the condition for us to withdraw our troops!"

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said: "Listen to you, this Wang Song is indeed a hero, if he can be brought to work for my Dajin, let's wait for him and give him a high-ranking official, isn't this killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!"

Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "With this Wang Song's consistent actions, as well as what he has done in the city these days, this person is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The Song people pay attention to loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, let's not waste our minds on this!"

Wanyan Lou also shook his head and said, "It is absolutely impossible to recruit Wang Song!" It's better to attack the city first and propose a peace proposal, the conditions should not be too harsh, but it must be Wang Song's head!"

Wanyan Zonghan praised: "This is a good way. Tell the Great Song Dynasty that if they don't send Wang Song's head, all the people of the Great Song Dynasty in our military camp will fall to the ground. Didn't the Song people pay attention to loyalty, righteousness, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and shame, then let them start from Wang Song. ”

Wanyan Yinshu nodded and said, "This trick is good!" When the time comes, it will depend on how Emperor Song chooses, whether he wants this Wang Song, or he wants peace, and he wants the heads of thousands of Song people in this camp!"

Everyone in the tent nodded frequently, thinking that such a plan was good. In their eyes, there is no courtesy, righteousness and shame, no moral bottom line, as long as the goal can be achieved, they have made any despicable and dirty tricks, and they feel at ease.

War is a bloody and cold fight, with the aim of destroying the other side and making the other side lose its combat effectiveness.

After several days of fierce attacks, several walls of Bianliang City were in danger, the sound of golden drums was endless, and the fighting at the head of the city was even more cruel, and everyone in Tokyo City was nervous. The lords and factions in the city were ready to move again, and the battle between the upper sides became fierce day by day.

This time, Zhao Huan insisted on not giving in. The clamoring ministers in the court were exiled and belittled, and several ministers who proposed to exchange Wang Song's head for peace were all sent to the prison of Dali Temple and copied their homes and distributed them.

Cold winds, mixed with rain and snow, covered the entire Bianjing City. Although the weather is gloomy, there is no longer the cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow in the past, and the footsteps of spring are approaching, and everything is beginning to gradually rejuvenate.

Liu Tao and Zhang Shuye walked in from outside. Seeing that Wang Song was writing about the recruitment, Liu Tao shook his head and said, "Break the captivity, don't write it anymore, the recruitment matter will be postponed." The Jurchens have sent someone here today, and they have officially reached a peace agreement with the imperial court!"

Wang let go of his hand, and the brush drew a big smudge on the paper.

In 1127 AD, on March 23, the 2nd year of Jiankang, the Jurchens sent envoys to Bianjing, and the Song and Jin countries signed a formal covenant, and the Jurchens withdrew their troops to the north, which was known as the Jingkang Peace Conference.

The terms of the peace agreement are as follows:

Song Xiang Jin was called a minister, and Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong was the emperor. Every time the gold lord celebrates his birthday and New Year's Day, Song Jun must send an envoy to congratulate him.

The Great Song Dynasty ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian to the Jin Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty paid 200,000 taels of silver and silk to Jin Na every year, and since the second year of Jingkang, it was moved to Hejian Mansion every spring to pay.

For the Great Song Dynasty, when the first time the Jin people of the first year of peace and health went south, the content of the peace agreement between the two sides was almost the same. It's just that after this battle, the enthusiasm of the Song people to resist Jin was high, and the Great Song court also won the unanimous praise of the people.

What Wang Song didn't expect was that whether his head should be sacrificed or not, there was really a fierce court discussion, and the emperor made a final decision, belittled a large number of civil servants, and defended his favorite generals.

If Wang Song's head is sacrificed, the defense line of Bianliang City will definitely collapse, and with the cunning, insatiable, and capricious nature of the Jurchens, they will definitely continue to increase the bargaining chips in the peace talks, and even break through the city.

At this point, Zhao Huan can see it clearly better than anyone else, this is also his bottom line, if anyone touches his reverse scales, he will naturally be ruthless and suppress them all.

Zhao Huan's iron-blooded suppression, more than a dozen members of the Yushi Observatory who impeached Wang Song were thrown into prison. After this feng shui flow, no matter whether Wang Song has a grudge against Wang Song or not, whether it is the main peace faction or the main battle faction, no one dares to take risks at this time, this is related to his own glory and wealth, and even his life.

And those relatives of the emperor who hated Wang Song, such as Qin Hui, Zhao Kai, King Yun, and Zhao Fujin, Emperor Maode, were all silent, and it is unknown whether they were secretly grinding and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

"That's a bargain for these dog thieves!"

The Jurchen army calmly retreated, and although Wang Song was unwilling and resentful, he was also relieved.

He finally relied on his foresight and efforts, and with the blood and sacrifice of more than 100,000 Song people, he avoided the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty to destroy the country, and also avoided the cultural fault, and changed the trend of history.

At this point, he has succeeded.
