Chapter 348: Civil Strife in Dali (II)
"Yes, and Gao Shouchang is also our person, and all this we did today is to prepare for his ascension." The members of Huofeng never make drafts when they lie, as for Yan Ruyu, they even came with their mouths open, and Gao Shouchang's return to the Han is not a lie, she said with a lot of Gao Yuyuan: "It is worthy of being the first beauty in Dali in the past, the princess of Dali, it is really a stunning city, and the country is beautiful and fragrant." ”
"You are also a rare beauty, let's not go around in circles, just say what you have to say."
"It's nothing, it's just that your father wants Gao Shouzhen to inherit, but your brother Gao Shouchang is unwilling to condescend to Gao Shouzhen, so he begged the Han to send troops to help seize the palace. For Gao Shouchang, only by seizing the palace and becoming the king of Dali can he change all this, now you understand. ”
It seems simple, but how can it actually be that simple? Gao Yuyuan didn't believe Yan Ruyu's words very much, she said coldly: "My brother is not a wise person, and he can't think so far-reaching. Besides, how can the Son of Heaven help my brother? What conditions can he prescribe to allow the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to send troops? ”
"The conditions are not as complicated as you think, the situation in Dali is complicated, there is no need to conquer for the Han Dynasty, and of course it will not be as untouchable as the Great Song Dynasty, just an empty canonization. Dali will become a sub-kingdom of the Han Dynasty, and in the future, the king of Dali will need to go to the imperial capital in person to accept the canonization of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and leave the son to study in the imperial capital. In addition, civil officials need to be appointed by the imperial court, and military generals need to study at the Imperial Military Academy. As for the tribute, there is none, and as in other places in the Han Dynasty, taxes must be paid. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Ruyu stopped talking, and stared straight at Gao Yuyuan, although she didn't say it directly, her eyes already explained the problem.
"You, you, you're going too far." Although Gao Yuyuan didn't know that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty had the disease of being a widow, she still understood something in the other party's eyes. She said coldly: "I won't go to your Han Kingdom, you'd better die of heart." ”
"You're going because you're the biggest chip." Yan Ruyu's eyes turned cold, and she said coldly: "Your brother is a murderer who killed his father, how can such a chaotic minister and thief be the king of Dali?" is destined to be destroyed, as for what is the fate of the Gao family, the barbarians of the Barbarian Department will kill it, you will know. ”
"You mean that as long as I promised to serve your emperor, then this could be avoided."
"Of course, the Gao family is a relative of the emperor, how can it be destroyed?" Yan Ruyu got up and said, "You can rest first, someone will escort you to the imperial capital as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning." ”
People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, is there a choice at this time? Gao Yuyuan chose to go north for the sake of her family and for herself. She thought that it was all for her father and the family, but unfortunately her father Gao Liangcheng didn't know, and the fate of the Gao family couldn't change much, of course, at least it wouldn't be wiped out.
Gao Liangcheng didn't know about the changes in the palace yet, he just knew that his daughter came forward to persuade Duan Zhilian to write an abdication edict and let him enter the palace to accept the national seal.
Gao Liangcheng walked out and said to Sui Shengdong: "You should take the queen back, forget it, it's useless to say anything." You have never married a wife in your life, so this time I will reward you with Princess Shi Yajing. ”
Sui Shengdong didn't say anything, he didn't dare to provoke the princess, it was a heinous crime. As for the woman, hehe, that's it.
Entering the palace, when entering the palace, Gao Liangcheng didn't find anything wrong. But after he entered the palace, a team of 500 people quietly entered the palace, the palace door was locked, and the killing was imminent.
After the palace gate was locked, the members of the Dragon's Breath team stationed at the gate of the palace city fired a signal flare to announce the start of the battle for the palace.
Yan Ruyu assigned the 2,500 Han troops under his command, and the 500 Han troops under the command of Yan Li entered the Gao family, leaving only Gao Liangcheng's youngest son, and the rest were all killed, and all the female dependents were retained. Yan Ruyu personally led 2,000 Han troops to capture the city, and the 2,000 people were divided into four groups, each group of 500 people went to seize the four city gates.
Gao Qiliang, the defender of the West Gate, was Gao Shouchang's cronies who surrendered directly without resistance, and cooperated with the Han army to kill the North Gate, the East Gate, and the South Gate were all loyal to Gao Liangcheng, and the defenders resisted stubbornly, and were all annihilated.
The four city gates have been taken down, so there is no need for Gao Qiliang to exist, Yan Ruyu personally cut off the head of this guy, and hung the heads of the other three city gate guards on the head of the city, telling the people in the city that the king of Dali wants to get rid of the traitor, and the people stay at home and do not come out, so as not to be injured by mistake.
There will be a battle between His Majesty and the ministers, and all the people are mentally prepared, everyone hides at home and does not go out, only a few brave ones open the window and peek.
Gao Liangcheng, who entered Miyagi, would not know what was happening outside, and when he saw Duan Zhilian, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The enemy was very red when he saw him, and in Duan Zhilian's eyes, Gao Liangcheng was a rebellious minister and thief who plotted to usurp the throne, and he was not his father-in-law at all. He said coldly: "You come to force the palace and be a rebellious minister and thief who plots to usurp the throne, you will have retribution." ”
"Retribution, hehe." Gao Liangcheng didn't think he had done anything wrong, he said coldly: "Dali has always been the vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and under the governance of our Gao family, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. However, you actually colluded with the Han State to rebel without authorization and attempted to betray the Great Song Dynasty, you are called usurpation, called rebellion, and everyone will be punished. You obediently hand over the state seal and spare you from death. ”
"The country is mine, how can I become a rebel and usurp." After Duan Zhilian took out the national seal and handed it into the hands of Princess Shi Yajing, he said: "I just don't call it the national seal, I just don't know which of the two of us will die well." ”
Before Duan Zhilian's words fell, the female guard standing behind him made a move, and the head of the king of the dead country was cut off, blood spurted out, the corpse fell to the ground, and the bloody head rolled down to Gao Liangcheng's feet.
"Ahh The sudden change made Gao Liangcheng feel overwhelmed, and at this time, he realized that something was wrong, but what was the problem?
"Gao Liangcheng, you are too vicious, Your Majesty has abdicated, you want to kill the king, you are a chaotic minister and thief, everyone has to be punished, come on, kill the chaotic ministers and thieves, and the high amount of Cheng will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and promoted to the third level."
Princess Shi Yajing shouted loudly, and countless guards broke in from the outside, trapping Gao Liangcheng in the center.
"It turns out that it's a conspiracy of you, a slut, and the outside are all people who are in their true shape, you'd better surrender obediently, otherwise, you'll die an ugly death."
"Gao Xiangye, have you found that Sui Shengdong is no longer there, he has gone out to announce to the public that Gao Liangcheng murdered His Majesty and was beheaded by the guards, and the Gao family will be condemned as a rebellion, I forgot to tell you, all this was planned by your son Gao Shouchang, he wants to ascend the throne, the first thing will be to cut off your head, and Gao Shouzhen will not live today."
"I'll kill you, the witch."
Gao Liangcheng was also considered a good kung fu, he drew his sword and stabbed at the princess Shi Yajing, and the guards intercepted it and the two sides started a fierce battle.
The children of the Gao family who entered the palace city fought with the Han army and the palace guards.
On this day, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the third year of Shenlong (1130 AD), the Dragon Boat Festival, the blood flowed into a river in Dali City. The powerful ministers conspired to rebel against the palace and killed Duan Zhilian, the king of Dali, and he himself died in the chaos. Since Duan Zhilian had no heirs, Queen Gao Yuyuan disappeared, and Princess Shi Yajing took power.
On this day, from the ancient town of Monza, fifty miles away from Dali City, a bloody battle continued, the two sides involved in the battle were 30,000 elites of the White Barbarian Department plus 10,000 Song Xiang Army, and the other side was 30,000 warriors of the Barbarian Department who got the armor and weapons of the Han Dynasty plus 5,000 elite soldiers who were loyal to the royal family.
The grudges between the barbarian department and the white barbarian department for a hundred years are destined to end in this battle, the two sides are in an endless posture, no one has a way out, either you die or I forget, this bloody battle can be said to be unprecedentedly tragic, killing from day to night, fighting at night, continuing to fight, until the next day's dusk, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the military strength was exhausted, and when the total strength was less than 10,000 people, a well-equipped Han iron army was killed.
Take advantage of your illness and want your life, the generals of the Han army are faceless, this guy is extremely ferocious, this time the Han army was given a killing order, and none of them were killed. Since the barbarian department is already in the black barbarians, the combat power of the white barbarian department has been exhausted, and in this case, there is no way to fight again, and this killing is destined to be bloody and cruel.
In this battle, the Han army brutally used the latest firearms, and the goal was to completely annihilate the enemy.
In the end, it is unknown whether anyone escaped, and there is no written record of this battle in the history books. The Han army entered the base camp of the Wubarian Department, and did not start a tear killing, and Shi Yayun, who stayed behind, announced her surrender and personally went to the imperial capital to accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, becoming the first female ghost king in the history of the Wuban Department.
went to the imperial capital to accept the canonization, not because Shi Yayun was a beauty, the key was the hard and fast rules of the Han Dynasty, and no one was allowed to take office without meeting the emperor in the imperial capital, even if it was a tribal leader or a magistrate. Moreover, the financial power, the official power, the military power, and the judicial power must be handed over to the imperial court, otherwise it will be annihilated by thunderous means.
The Western Xia Emperor Li Ailong had already set a schedule to go to the imperial capital to receive canonization, and the empress dowager Yelu Nanxian had already settled in the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty in advance. Li Ailong also knew his true identity, he also supported his mother to go to the imperial capital to reunite with his father, and also wanted to visit his father as soon as possible, but according to the rules, he must be sixteen years old to be canonized, so what he can do now is only wait.
Shi Yayun also wants to go to Dijing as soon as possible, after all, her sister is already a talented person in the Han Palace, I heard that there is still joy, it is good to take a look, after all, the sisterhood is deep.
Gao Shouchang didn't expect that he and Gao Shouzhen died in one day, and his father also died two days ago. The power of the Gao family was uprooted, and the Baiman tribe and the Wuman tribe suffered heavy losses, completely losing the strength of confrontation, and finally came under the management of Shi Yajing, the queen of Dali.
50,000 Han troops were stationed in Dali, and 50,000 soldiers were recruited locally, making the total strength reach 100,000. Sui Shengdong served as the envoy of Dali, and Jiao Ting served as the supervisor of the soldiers and horses. And Lu Junyi led an army of 100,000 to prepare to enter the palace and Anguo, just waiting for an opportunity.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 of the third year of Shenlong, the situation of the Three Kingdoms officially kicked off the bloody battle on this day, Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 50,000 to land in Jiaozhou Bay, and the army was like a bamboo and approached Jinan Mansion.
Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, was frightened, and he didn't know whether to flee or resist. Resistance, it is obvious that it can't be defeated, the Jin army has long been famous, and the result of resistance is self-evident, it is definitely a ruined city.
Escape, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom is so fast, and if you escape, you will be caught up, in that case, you still can't save your life. Now Liu Yu is in a dilemma, this guy is like an ant on a hot pot, the whole person is restless, he complains, and feels that he should have escaped early.
Kong Yanzhou, the prisoner of Jinan Soldiers and Horses, had long been stupid by the Jin army, he knew that he couldn't defeat the Jin army, and he didn't want to wrap the body in horse leather, so he wanted to escape in this situation.
The deputy general Li Cheng saw Kong Yanzhou's thoughts, and he said mysteriously: "My lord, the Great Song Dynasty does not attach importance to military generals, and the disaster caused today was doomed when the military power was released with a glass of wine more than a hundred years ago. Even if we lose our heads, we will not be recognized by the imperial court. We're not as good as that. ”
Kong Yanzhou quickly understood what Li Cheng meant, but he quickly shook his head and said: "No, when the soldiers are in the city, even if they surrender, they may not be taken seriously, besides, if the prefect does not agree, we will be very troublesome." If you want to surrender, unless Governor Liu agrees. ”
"It's okay, I and Liu Yi, the nephew of Governor Liu, are iron buddies, let him go and find out Governor Liu's tone to see if Toucheng can be. After all, the civil officials have ideas, and he has surrendered, so no one will say anything about us. ”
"Yes, it's best to involve Liu Lin, the son of Governor Liu, as well." After all, Kong Yanzhou has brains better than Li Cheng, he knows that civil officials will be valued after surrendering, after all, the surrendered city still needs to be governed, on the contrary, the Song army is weak, and the military generals will not be taken seriously when they surrender.
Things went more smoothly than Kong Yanzhou imagined, Liu Lin and Liu Yi agreed to help persuade Liu Governor to surrender, and in this case, Surrender was a matter of course.
Sure enough, Liu Yu was not the kind of loyal minister who regarded death as his home, and in the case of the siege of the Jin army, he finally chose to surrender. After the Jin army entered Jinan Prefecture, Wanyan Zongbi immediately ordered Liu Yu to continue to serve as the prefect of Jinan Prefecture.
The most depressing thing for Wanyan Zongbi was still happening, and Wanyan Xian, the marshal of the Jin Guodu, also ordered Wanyan Zongbi to sweep Jingdong Road, but he was not allowed to send troops into the palace of Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. Obviously, the mission of occupying the capital of the Great Song Dynasty and destroying the Great Song Dynasty is to complete Yan Zongqi, and no one can take it away. What is the point of sweeping the Great Song Jingdong Road, it is close to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but he can't send troops, which is a very depressing thing for Wanyan Zongbi.
