Gonggong Liu also saw the content of the letter on the side, smiled all over his face, and said softly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly and said with a smile: "This matter is really worth congratulating." Fuzhou settled down, and Kublai Khan couldn't negotiate peace anymore. ”

Even if he received Huang Hua's secret letter before, he was still a little unconfident in his heart, but now, it is really full of confidence.

After a little silence, Zhao Dongting began to write back to Huang Hua.

All of you Aiqing have made meritorious contributions in the battle in Fuzhou, and you should set an example for me in the Great Song Dynasty, and after the statistics of the battle merits come out, I should be rewarded separately.

Huang pacified the envoy about the matter of erecting a monument, I agreed, only cut the matter and then consider it, and then make a decision after discussing peace with the Yuan Dynasty. Previously, Huang pacified the envoy to leave the lives of those generals.

That's all for Zhao Dongting's reply.

In the past, many officers and men in various armies had made military merits. There's no way he's going to be rewarded right now.

Because this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

After the ink on the paper dried, Zhao Dongting asked the eunuch to send the secret letter to Yi Shiyu's carrier pigeon maintenance department.

Then he did not stay in the imperial study any longer, and returned to the dormitory.

On the streets of Changsha City.

Gao Manshan, Guan Shu and other hundreds of officials were escorted in prison cars and paraded through the streets.

Prisoner vans spread across several streets.

I don't know how many people stopped on the side of the street to watch.

This battle is even similar to when Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong returned to the city two days ago.

Officials from the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Law rode in front of the prisoner cart on tall horses, accompanied by soldiers in silver armor behind them and on both sides of the street, and there were hundreds of them.

Moreover, there are also masters of Wu Dingtang hidden in it.

In this kind of battle, even if someone dares to come and intercept the prisoners, it can only be self-defeating.

"Corrupt officials!"

"Sinners!"

The people on both sides of the street listened to the provincial officials shouting about the guilt of the people who were high and full of mountains, and the crowd gradually became angry.

Many people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the officials in the prisoner car, making them all embarrassed.

These people are all sins and deserve to be punished. In addition to collaborating with the enemy, many of them were charged with other crimes.

All the way, all the way to the scolding.

When they finally arrived at the vegetable market, Gao Manshan and the others could no longer see their original appearances.

They had different expressions, some lost, some sad, some gloomy.

Things have developed to this point, and they probably don't have any resentment in their hearts. For it is very just that all the provinces of the province condemn them by the law.

The emperor did not use that kind of torture, such as Ling Chi, snake pits, etc., to solve them, and the happy death of beheading them is already considered benevolent and righteous.

At the noon gate.

Inspector Zhang Shijie is already waiting here in person.

This time, there were a lot of officials involved, and there were also a lot of forces involved, and he personally supervised and beheaded them.

There were more soldiers at the noon gate than there were escorts, and even the guards in the palace were transferred.

When the suspects arrived, many people followed.

Zhang Shijie's eyes swept over the faces of Gao Manshan, Guan Shu and others, and his eyes were a little complicated.

has been a colleague for many years, and he really never thought that Gao Manshan and others would be Dali's pawns. And, now it's up to him to see them off.

An official handed the charge to Zhang Shijie on the side.

This charge alone is a long, long piece of paper.

After all the soldiers escorted Gao Manshan and others out of the prisoner car, Zhang Shijie read aloud: "The sinner Gao Manshan, the former secretary of the Ministry of Social Security, collaborated with the enemy and treason...... Execute. ”

"The sinner Guan Shu, the former squire of the Ministry of Finance, collaborated with the enemy and treason...... Execute. ”

It took more than ten minutes to recite the indictments of more than 100 criminals.

The area around the execution ground has long been quiet.

Hundreds of people were shocked.

Because the status of these officials is far beyond their expectations. Especially Gao Manshan and Guan Shu, this is already a big official that they don't even dare to think about.

And among these more than 100 people, the lowest rank is also from the seventh rank. There are no unranked officials at all.

God knows how many vacancies will be vacant in the cities around this imperial city.

"It's ...... noon"

Suddenly, there was a long roar from an official wearing a cloud-plugging hat.

Gao Shijie took out a bamboo stick from the sign holder on the bookcase in front of him and threw it to the ground, "Chop!" ”

There is a crimson word "chop" on the bamboo stick.

On the torture platform, the chopsticks drew the guilty signatures behind Gao Manshan and others.

Chiral knife falls.

One by one, the heads rolled to the ground.

A headless corpse fell to the ground.

Blood splattered.

There are more than 100 souls in the noon gate.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there was a huge case of collaborating with the enemy, and so far there has finally been a preliminary conclusion.

But the aftermath obviously won't end there.

More than 100 officials were beheaded at the noon gate, and there was always a lot of discussion among the people.

After a short time, the news that Gao Manshan and others were beheaded was handed to Zhao Dongting's bedroom by the eunuch.

Zhao Dongting, who was accompanying Zhao An and Zhao Ru, the two little guys, saw the recital written by Zhang Shijie himself, and just sighed softly.

For Gao Manshan, he didn't want to make any comments, and he didn't know how to comment.

In fact, such as Gao Manshan, Guan Shu, and even Xie Fangde, the deputy inspector of the official residence supervision province, they can live in this position, and they have their own ability. Over the years, they have also contributed a lot to the Great Song Dynasty and made a lot of contributions. It's a pity that after all, each is his own master.

The losses they inflicted on the Great Song Dynasty were not something they could compensate for.

Zhao Dongting also had to behead them.

The law is unforgiving.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Dongting said to Gonggong Liu beside him: "Inform all places of the news!" ”

"No."

Gonggong Liu just received the order and walked outside. Of course, he could see that Zhao Dongting's mood was a little heavy at the moment.

Dozens of horsemen left Changsha.

Hundreds of carrier pigeons headed for the land.

Another day.

Yuan Zhongdu.

After receiving Zhao Dongting's letter, Zhou Xingyan, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, showed joy on his face, and immediately took the letter to the Yuan Palace, asking to see Kublai Khan.

At this time, the emperor Kublai Khan in the Yuan Palace was already so angry that he was sick in bed.

He's getting old.

Receiving the news of the defeat of Gangneung Mansion and the complete defeat of the army had already made him furious.

And the night before, he received another report of defeat in Fuzhou.

Fuzhou was even worse than Jiangling Mansion, except for the carrier pigeons, basically no soldiers escaped from the city, and even Ashu did not have the slightest news.

This naturally made Kublai Khan very angry.

The moment he saw the letter, he only felt that a stream of blood suddenly rushed into his head, and then he passed out directly.

The Five Route Army united with Dali, the New Song Dynasty, and the Yue Li Dynasty to attack the Song Kingdom, and Kublai Khan really never thought that this would be the result in the end.

He even thought before that even if the New Song, Dali, and Yue Li dynasties were defeated, with the strength of his Yuan Dynasty alone, it would be enough to compete with the Song army.

And now the reality tells him that his Dayuan's strength is no longer comparable to the Song army.

In just a few years, the Song Kingdom survived in a desperate situation, and now it is the largest overlord in the Central Plains.

Although he still has more than 200,000 troops in northern Xinjiang, this person is impossible to be the opponent of the Song State.

Sue for peace......

Before suing for peace, Kublai Khan still watched the successive defeats of Dali, the New Song Dynasty, the Yue Li Dynasty, and the Jiangling Mansion, and wanted to withdraw from the army to retain his strength, in order to continue to compete with the Song State in the future.

But now, he can't make peace without thinking about it.

With Kublai Khan's mind, of course, he could predict that he would inevitably lose the upper hand in this peace negotiation.

He no longer has the capital to negotiate with the Song State.

The more I think about it, the more angry I become.

So after Kublai Khan fell ill, he was stunned that he could not recover quickly. This is a heart disease, just like Duan Xingzhi at the beginning, it is really not so easy to heal.

After Zhou Xingyan went to the gate of the Yuan Palace to ask for a meeting, he waited at the door for a long time before being led in by the eunuch.

Only inside, he did not see Kublai Khan, but was taken to Zhongshu Province and met Sange.

Yeluzhu was captured and Ah Shu committed suicide, and only Sange was left in Kublai Khan's top think tank.

Zhou Xingyan was quite surprised when he saw Brother Sang.

Brother Sang sat on the chair, his eyes swept over Zhou Xingyan, and said, "The emperor occasionally feels cold and feels unwell. The special officer has come to meet you. ”

He could see the confusion on Zhou Xingyan's face.

And Kublai Khan's illness, it was impossible for him to tell Zhou Xingyan. Even this matter is a secret in the palace.

Not because of anything else, but simply because the crown prince Zhenjin is still in the northern part of the Song Dynasty.

If Kublai Khan couldn't survive this catastrophe...... The crown prince did not return to the court...... The situation of the Yuan Dynasty will be difficult to imagine.
