296 verses of the spring cold 4
The Hehuang Tubo and the Tangut people had a dispute over territory and fundamental interests, and the two sides had been fighting for an unknown number of years, and they both wanted to exterminate each other but couldn't.
The Tubo side as a whole is still the bullied side, and has been killed and robbed by the party regime for too long, too ruthlessly, and the persecuted Tubo people have to bow their heads and recognize the Song Dynasty as the boss, relying on the huge size and military strength of the Song Dynasty to ensure that the race is not eradicated by the party regime, and now they are with the new boss, and there is a powerful new master to lead the way to deal with the old opponent, and the Western Xia is naturally very happy, and some people are fighting bravely.
Previously, the Western Army that had surrendered to the pirates was also led by the young and powerful generals who were most capable of fighting and killed the Xia Kingdom first.
The Western Xia Kingdom was a barbarian country. The barbarians and the dynasty they founded were very different from the Han people and the Han regime, not the emperor and the imperial court surrendered, but the scattered local government armies would surrender.
Li Qianshun, Chongzong of Western Xia, surrendered with all his troops. But the national surrender decree he issued may not be good for the localities.
Zhao Yue also understood this, and he didn't have much hope that the whole country of Western Xia would surrender in response, and he never had a fluke for this kind of thing, and he would not have paralyzing careless thoughts.
It turns out that the local forces do have their own calculations, and few families are entrenched in the local state and city chiefs and army generals, willing to honestly lay down their arms and wait for the pirates to come and accept them.
For these rulers, their own interests come first, and they loyally follow whichever family is king, because it is in the best interest of that. If the master falls and the dynasty is finished, their first choice is not to defend the master's power or avenge the master's son, but to immediately abandon the old master dynasty and consider a new way out, and claim the throne themselves or find a new one.
Of course, the new lord should be the same kind of party, strong and powerful, able to form a new dynasty to resist foreign enemies and protect everyone's ruling interests in the new era.
They surrendered to the pirates, abandoned the territory and moved overseas, they did not do it, they were not willing to leave the land they were accustomed to and convenient to rule, and they refused to recognize the pirates as the master.
So the pirates can only continue to fight hard.
The total number of troops of the Western Army was nearly 400,000, and the rebellious Western Army, under the order of Zhao Yue, eliminated more than 80,000 Xihe troops who were responsible for sweeping Tubo first, and more than 200,000 other departments participated in the final battle against the Western Xia Kingdom.
By this time, the Western Xia Kingdom had a large army of Fan Han slave thugs swept by the 50,000 horses of the Du Headquarters in the west, 50,000 cavalry left by Zhao Yueliu and the following Zahu in the north, a coalition army led by Xiao Jiasui in the south, and a Western army in the east, so that a situation of encircling the Xia State as a whole was formed. It not only prevented the Tanguts from escaping in large numbers, but also accelerated the progress of the sweep.
The remaining tens of thousands of veterans and young soldiers of the Western Army who did not participate in the war, plus the township soldiers and militia troops widely equipped in the northwest, were responsible for the transfer of the people under the supervision and command of the pirate army dispatched......
Turning back to the Zhao Yue Department of Xingqing Mansion.
Li Qianshun, Chongzong of Western Xia, soon led the civil and military nobles out of the city and surrendered, if he was replaced by a person as the commander-in-chief of the pirates, in the face of such a sudden and easy conquest of the great harvest, he could not be said to be full of excitement and arrogance and fluttering, and the following things were just waiting for the huge harvest of the country to be destroyed by Meizizi, and it was inevitable that the enemy would be careless.
This is also a very normal reaction of people.
Destroy the country, easily force the lord of the country and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to rush to surrender and beg for mercy, what a great achievement, what a great satisfaction, not to mention that Xiao Xia is small but strong, but it is easy to destroy in his own hands.
But Zhao Yue can't be regarded as a normal person in this world.
All the traversers in the other world are not normal people.
Zhao Yue is not a politician or military strategist who has made great achievements in subverting a country's political power.
He is essentially a top scientist who is addicted to science and technology, and only the glorious charm of science and technology can really make Zhao Yue so excited that he loses his mind and loses his normal observation and judgment, and the sense of accomplishment of destroying a country is not big for Zhao Yue himself, and there is no unexpected surprise.
During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Western coalition army only had a few thousand people, and the original rifle with the arquebus, which was very troublesome and laborious to reload, and the original rifle was not very powerful, and the Manchu dynasty collapsed. From the Empress Dowager Cixi to the emperor to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone was so frightened that they almost wanted to be paralyzed, and they did not dare to play the stubborn and willful posture of the lord of the Heavenly Empire to the great powers as they were accustomed to in the past. Since then, one treaty after another has been signed...... Measure the material resources of China and the hearts of all countries, and only ask the great powers not to overthrow the Manchu regime and abolish their ruling and hedonistic status.
With this contrast, how could the more ignorant little Western Xia barbarian kingdom survive the threat of a more powerful and invincible artillery strike? How dare a ruler resist his personality?
In the matter of destroying the country and strengthening the enemy, the horseback nation is no stronger than the agrarian nation that has been fooled by Confucianism and softened its bones, and the nobles will still strive to be the heroes who "know the times".
It's normal for Ma to surrender, and it's abnormal not to do so.
As for the history of the Western Xia, who dared to fight to the death against the Mongol cavalry that was strong enough to sweep the Eurasian continent, the resistance was very tenacious, that was the opponent was also a cold-weapon cavalry battle, and there was no invincible weapon and equipment advantage that was superior to them and easy to be recognized by them in time.
It's all scimitar riding, who's afraid of whom?
Compared with the Mongols and the regime, the party is an old empire and a national powerhouse on horseback, and it has been strong for many generations and years, how can it easily bow the knee to the emerging younger brother and accept Xiao Gan as a slave. When the Jurchens rose, they were so sharp that they seemed to be able to easily sweep the world, but didn't they also come home with a bloody head when they conquered Western Xia?
It is this mentality and cognition that the party has the courage to fight to the death with the Mongols, but it has not been fought to the end...... The country was wiped out, the Mongols were slaughtered, and the Dangxiang clan was finally completely wiped out in history, becoming another nation of the past that quietly disappeared in the smoke of history. Since then, there have been no more Dangxiang people in the world, and they have either died as slaves or have been alienated.
Therefore, in the earth-shattering cheers of his subordinates, Zhao Yue was unmoved in the face of the great joy of conquest.
He sat down and immediately watched coldly, Li Qianshun holding the certificate of surrender, leading the team of bureaucrats and nobles out of the city from the open city gate, watching the team get closer and closer, and his posture became more and more trembling and humble and depressed, but his eyes did not turn into relaxed and proud, but suddenly changed from indifference to sharp, and the corners of his mouth also showed a sneer.
He found that the team was full of old guys except for Li Qianshun at the head.
It stands to reason that this is not abnormal.
The patriarchs who can be high-ranking officials and become old thieves or represent the top nobles and wealthy families in Western Xia should be not young, and there is nothing wrong with the old people who go out of the city.
But Zhao Yue's intuition was that this team was not normal.
Although there is no threat, looking at it, these members do have a noble temperament that has been in the top position for a long time and naturally exudes, which is not fake, but it is just wrong.
Zhao Yue has been practicing thaumaturgy since he was a child, and he has a keen eye beyond ordinary people, he believes in his intuition, and he is unconsciously accustomed to relying on this ability in life and journey, as soon as he feels wrong, he immediately whispers a few words to the two guards of the dragon and tiger beside him, and then continues to sit quietly and immediately wait for Li Qianshun to come forward and pay tribute.
The second general of the dragon and tiger quietly switched to ride elsewhere......
Li Qianshun led the crowd to surrender, with a very humble and sincere attitude, kneeling down in the dust in public, bowing his head and offering a surrender table.
The surrender also went well.
The pirate prince was very arrogant and unreasonable, and Gao Zao immediately accepted the demotion without showing any courtesy and politeness on the scene...... But all this is in line with the rumored pirates' brutal and barbaric style, and it has long been expected by Li Qianshun and other surrenderers.
The pirates were religious, fierce, but they did not turn their faces against those who surrendered, brandishing butcher knives or beating and humiliating them.
The surrender team was introduced into the pirate army, and it seemed that the pirate prince wanted to sit down and talk to Li Qianshun and other monarchs and ministers about further discussing the details of surrender.
However, what Li Qianshun and the others did not expect was that as soon as they entered the depths of the pirate encirclement and blocked the view of the city, the pirates suddenly turned their faces, and rushed up with knives and fierce knives, regardless of whether the king or any important person was ruthlessly knocked down to the ground and took it, without expecting. There should also be treatment for those who should be treated under common sense.
Some of those bureaucratic and aristocratic old guys are very tough, struggling and roaring and scolding pirates for their lack of trustworthiness and are really thieves who deceive the world and steal their reputations, and some are frightened and shouting indiscriminately, for fear that they will be ghosts under the butcher's knife in the next moment, and more are so frightened that they are directly paralyzed to the ground.
But their roars and shouts were too weak and weak to drown out the huge cheers of the pirate army. In vain struggle, they were all quickly stripped of their decent fur and silk clothes...... All that's left is a fig leaf.
Although the old guys are used to being rich, they are either obese or strong and brave or thin but have a good body, and they are relatively cold-resistant, but they are naked, and in the cold wind of the northwest Hudi, they still can't help but freeze one spirit after another, and they shiver uncontrollably, and after a while, they all freeze so that their faces are blue and they have no roaring momentum......
Li Qianshun, the king of Xia, is not old, and he is in the prime of life at this time.
He, the honor of a country, was also stripped to the point that only a fig leaf remained.
In the face of such humiliation, even if he shivered in the cold wind, he was very likely to provoke the pirate to suffer the dangerous result of being cut down casually by a single word, but Li Qianshun still tried to maintain the majesty that the lord of a country should have, glared at Zhao Yue and asked: "Such an insult to the descendant, without talking about the country's reputation and image, how can your pirate kingdom have the demeanor of a powerful country?" How can you be so disrespectful and shameless as a prince ......of a country?"
Zhao Yue pouted, "You impostor pretending to be like that." I'm afraid that Li Qianshun is really in the current situation, and he doesn't have the momentum and courage of you. It's a pity that you have been blinded by others, even the nobles and bureaucrats in Xingqing City are also all-powerful, but you just can't be blinded by this king. ”
Li Qianshun changed color in shock, and his face, which was already blown by the cold wind, became more and more ugly, but he immediately calmed down and snorted disdainfully: "If you don't talk about credibility, why deceive yourself and others to find such an excuse to cover up your shame?" It only proves that your pirate kingdom is more shameless and has no formal system that a country should have. A pirate nation is a thief after all......."
Listening to the insults, provocations and condemnations, Zhao Yue was not annoyed, but smiled: "Good acting." Please continue. Although you are a fake king, you act well. I won't kill you. “
At this time, Li Qianshun realized that there were several pirates around him who were holding up strange things and constantly clicking. There are also pirates who click on the embarrassed barepig nobles.
This guy didn't know that it was a camera, but instinctively felt bad, and couldn't help but ask, "You, what are you doing?" “
Zhao Yue didn't pay attention to him anymore, and went straight to the horse.
The pirate military judges and military reporters who surrounded him to take pictures all laughed, and then they continued to shoot with straight faces. Someone yelled, "Don't forget your role at the moment." dress up well, treat yourself as the real king of Western Xia, and supplement the image material of the king of the dead country. Someone reminded him: "Dress up like and act well, and you can live." If it's useless. You lowly impostor will only be clicked off your head immediately, and you will not want to live, understand? “
”...... Yes? “
Although Li Qianshun couldn't understand it, he was dumbfounded, and his face became more and more ugly.
The pirate prince who has the final say is no longer in front of him, his performance is meaningless, his momentum is gone, and he can't pretend anymore, and he unconsciously reveals the essence of a little person, and he plays a scene, which immediately angers the pirate reporter who captured the material.
In the midst of beating, trampling, and persecution, "Li Qianshun" suddenly turned into a lowly dog who wanted to survive, and desperately bred up his spirit to play the tragic and humiliating image of the king of the fallen country as required......
The king who went out of the city was a fake. Then, the real Li Qianshun is naturally still in the city. Naturally, the Western Xia Dynasty, with the king as the representative of the country, did not really fall.
Li Qianshun knew that the city could not be protected in the face of artillery fire and the terrible poisonous gas blow of the devil's poisonous law, and he only had one end in destroying it, so he played a trick and wanted to deceive......
It's just that he never expected that the pirate commander and general Wang, although he was young, would not fall into ecstasy and lose his vigilance because of the great joy and fierce impact of the great joy and achievement of the powerful Xia Kingdom, and he never expected that even the substitute who was familiar with his concubines and children could not hide that the pirate prince, who was completely unfamiliar with him, was still recognized at a glance. He didn't know that there was such a thing as a telegraph in the world.
Even if he completely cut off the communication between the city and the outside of the city, and no one could go out of the city or leak the news of the city with the help of carrier pigeons, the pirates outside the city could still learn the movements of the Xia army and Xia officials in Xingqing Mansion in time from the spies lurking in the city, and immediately made targeted military adjustments.
When "Li Qianshun" and the old nobles and bureaucrats went out of the city to confuse the pirate army, in the city, the real Li Qianshun was waiting in the army with children and concubines who could escape on horseback in inconspicuous military uniforms. He slaughtered all the other concubines and children, so that they would not fall into the hands of pirates and be humiliated and slaughtered.
At this moment, his actions fully demonstrate the extreme selfishness and cruelty of the essence of the one-man emperor, although he himself is very weak, and seems to be a gentle and benevolent king.
