Chapter 368: The Imperial Court with Overdrawn Dignity
The second prince raised his head and drank a bowl of wine and said: "In the fifth dynasty, the second emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Deguang, led an army to attack Bianliang, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty. After he broke through Bianliang, he connived at the soldiers to loot in the city, which aroused the anger of the people, and the people rose up to resist, resulting in serious damage to the Khitan army. He entered the Central Plains as the emperor, and continued to let the soldiers fight the grass valley, resulting in the continuous resistance of the people of the Central Plains, unable to consolidate the rule, Yelu Deguang was forced to leave Bianliang, led the army back to the north, on the way to get sick and died of illness in killing Hulin. On the way, in order to prevent the corpse from rotting, the corpse was salted and won the title of 'Emperor'. The Han people are a cowardly people, but when they are cornered, they will exert great strength, and they will do their best to release their past suspicions and unite together with the outside world. There are millions of people in Bianliang City, and if everyone takes up arms and fights in the streets, the Dajin warriors will inevitably suffer serious casualties. We will no longer follow the old path of Yerod Light, the life of the Dajin warriors is above all else, and we will not make unnecessary sacrifices. It is also to seize the property of the Han people, why do we have to do it ourselves? Let the Han emperor order the plunder, and then deliver it to us, which will not cause our casualties, but will also dissipate the morale that the Han people have just gathered again. Therefore, this war needs to be in slow motion, and it will be possible to slowly disintegrate the Song court, and there is no urgency at all! ”
The generals praised after hearing this, touting Wanyan Zongwang as the reincarnation of Zhuge and Jiang Shang, and the second prince was very useful.
After drinking for a while, Wanyan Zong said: "Therefore, the strategy I formulated is to negotiate peace, offer sky-high compensation, and let the Song people send money to our camp in a steady stream." When the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty were exhausted, it was also the day when the hearts of the people of Qinzong were lost, and at that time, we collected all the descendants of the Zhao family in the net and took them to the capital Huining. We Dajin are short of numbers, and we can't learn from Yelu Deguang to occupy Bianliang as the emperor of the Han people, and we ended up in failure. After destroying the Zhao clan, we set up another puppet to serve Dajin, as long as we send the wealth of the Han people to the Jin country! ”
The guys touted for a while, and then got drunk in a big slice of cheerfulness.
The arrival of the golden envoy made Qin Zong breathe a sigh of relief, and the heavy pressure made him almost collapse, and he had a feeling of rebirth after releasing the pressure today, because the golden envoy did not come to persuade him to surrender, but to negotiate peace.
As soon as the Jin envoy changed his fierce and arrogant attitude, he was actually polite to Qinzong, and he liked Qinzong in terms of attitude. Then the Jin envoy said the intention of the second prince Wanyan Zongwang, the Jin people will not be wiped out, since ancient times, there is a south and a north, as long as the Song Dynasty agrees to the request of the Jin State, the Jin and Song countries will live in peace and friendship.
Jin Guo's requirements are not high, as long as the following points are done: First, go to the book. In the Song Dynasty, the Song Emperor called Emperor Jin his uncle; Second, cut the land. The two sides are bounded by the Yellow River, with the north of the Yellow River belonging to Jin and the south of the Song Dynasty; Third, compensation. The Song Dynasty compensated 50,000 gold horses, 10 million gold ingots, 20 million silver ingots, 20 million silk horses, and 1,500 maidens.
Qinzong and Zaizhi happily agreed to come down as if they had seen the sunrise through the clouds, and even the previously tough resistance Zaizhi agreed to the peace talks on land cession. So a campaign to prepare money in the capital was going on frantically, this campaign involved all fields, whether it was the emperor's relatives or ordinary people, all the property belonged to the state, and if you didn't pay it, you would die.
A few days later, the city was full of anger and complaints, and the Song people actually hated the court more than the Jin people, and they all hoped that the Jin soldiers would come over soon and tear apart this court that ate people and did not spit out bones.
The capital has become a dangerous egg, there is no cohesion, there is no half of the people's will, and now it is not as good as a broken thatched house, and a little breeze can overturn it.
The first time they invaded Jinren, they robbed a lot of money, and after a few months, they wanted such a huge amount of money, even if they bought Bianjing, they couldn't make it up.
But Wanyan Zongwang was not in a hurry, he spoke, and if he had no money, he would take a woman instead. Wanyan Zongwang also offered a converted price: a princess or emperor is worth 1,000 taels of gold, a princess or a princess is worth 500 taels of gold, a clan concubine is worth 200 taels of gold, and the rest of the women are converted in silver, and the price varies.
In the past few days, the Song people, who were already complaining, were tossed so much that they did not have the slightest idea of saving the court, and the people looked numbly at the woman who was detained by the forbidden army and sent to the gold camp, and their sad eyes were full of resentment.
There may be his own daughter inside, but there is no way, the forbidden army is not the opponent of Jin Bing, but it is very cruel to fight the people. Such a shameless court has embarked on an incorrigible road, and its dignity has been completely overdrawn, and the people no longer have the slightest motivation to work hard for the court.
Seeing that there was not much oil and water to squeeze out, Wanyan Zong hoped to find a reason to send Qinzong to Jinying, and then ask for money and silk with Qinzong as a hostage. Qi Yan reads
Another round of crazy looting was carried out in the capital, and seeing that Bianjing was exhausted, Wanyan Zongwang no longer asked for money, and he sent Huizong and the rest of the princes to Jinying one by one.
In this way, he was not satisfied, and ordered Fan Qiong, the general of the Song Dynasty who took refuge in him, to lead the forbidden army to wipe out all the concubines, imperial concubines, concubines, imperial grandsons, palace e, and other Zhao clansmen in the palace, and sent them all to the golden camp.
Zhang Shuye, Yao Gu and other generals have empty armies but are helpless, throwing rats and taboos, the emperor is in the hands of the Jin people, once they resist the Jin soldiers, the emperor is killed, they are sinners through the ages.
Then Wanyan Zongwang announced that the Zhao family was absurd and unreasonable, not a good emperor for the country and the people, and for the Han people to live a good life, he immediately abolished the title of Zhao emperor and set up another virtuous emperor among the Han people. But Wanyan Zongwang has no favorite candidate, in his eyes, this emperor must not only be able to suppress the Han people, but also be more cowardly than the Zhao family, and can serve the Jin State with all his heart, and finding such a Han person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, before establishing this emperor, there is another bane that must be eradicated, that is, Zhao Gou in the Daimyo's Mansion. With Zhao Gou, Zhao can turn over the salted fish, and without Zhao Gou, Zhao is a stranded whale, and he is powerless to turn over with a huge body.
Wanyan Lou's father and son were ordered to attack the Daimyo's mansion, and the order they received was that Zhao Gou wanted to see people and corpses alive. Just when Lou and his son set off with their troops, the disheartened Zhang Jun found out the news, and he led 5,000 cavalry to the Daimyo's Mansion to support King Kang. Originally, he also persuaded the planter Min to go with him, but the planter Min wanted to send the coffin of the planter to his hometown and did not go with him.
When Zhao Gou got the news from Zhang Jun, he didn't organize resistance at the first time, but led everyone to escape. Zong Ze's persuasion was to no avail, now there is only one prince of the Zhao family, and everyone can only follow him there when he goes there, otherwise the protection is not effective, and the Zhao family will be cut off, and the Great Song Dynasty at that time will really become a rootless duckweed.
Zhao Gou took Zong Ze, Wang Boyan, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others all the way to Suzhou, and after staying in Suzhou for a few days, he felt unsafe, and led the crowd to cross the Yangtze River and run to Jiangnan. In his opinion, Jin Bing could not have reached Jiangnan without a ship, and that was his comfort zone.
This move made Zong Ze angry, and he had the ambition to follow King Kang to fight the gold soldiers to save the holy car, but Zhao Gou only made an impassioned gesture in Xiangzhou and the Daimyo's Mansion, without a trace of rescue action, he was obviously a giant in language and a dwarf in action.
Along the way, Zhao Gou kept changing words to whitewash his escape, and now he actually wants to flee to Jiangnan, isn't it a turtle with a shrunken head?
From this moment on, Zong Ze saw Zhao Gou's true face, he was a prince with superb deception, and he had no intention of going to King Qin to rescue him. Now that he is gaining popularity, amassing strength, and slowly gaining political ambitions in the midst of changing forms, he has begun to act for his dream of becoming emperor.
Poor! Shameless! The father and brother did not save them in the fire pit, but hoped that they would be burned in the fire so that he could inherit the inheritance. Even if such a person sits on the throne, he is a king without virtue, how can the people of the world have a good life.
Zong Ze was angry and turned his head with his headquarters, and he led his army to the Daimyo's Mansion again. He would rather die vigorously on the battlefield resisting the Jin soldiers than live on the way to escape, and stealing his life is the biggest insult to him.
Wan Yan Lou Room angrily scolded Zhao Gou for being a dog, with a sense of smell that is more sensitive than a dog, and an escape skill that is faster than a deserted dog. Now that people go to the empty city, Li Cheng, the guard of the Daimyo Mansion who has no resistance, killed Wenda Kaicheng, who resolutely resisted the Jin soldiers, and surrendered, according to the situation that Li Cheng told Yan Lou Room, now he can't catch up with Zhao Gou with cavalry. The father and son of Wanyan Lou never did meaningless things, and this evil father and son took their anger out on the many cities around the Daimyo's Mansion, and they took advantage of the situation to occupy and lay the foundation for the Jin soldiers to attack the autonomous region.
Easily get some cities, and Wanyan Lou Room gets carried away, and is also a little careless. On the way back to the Daimyo's Mansion, he was bumped into by Zong Ze, who had nowhere to vent his anger and led his 3,000 men and horses to charge at more than 1,000 golden soldiers. The Jin soldiers were defeated, and Wanyan Lou Room had nowhere to run with the remnants of the soldiers, so he could only stand on a dirt slope and wait for help.
