Chapter 207: Hidden Dangers
Wanyan Zongfu didn't expect that Song Jun would hold back for so long, and he would hold back such a vicious and vicious attack-Flooding Dading!
The flood flooded Dading City for three days and three nights, and the water surface was three meters above the ground.
Due to the suddenness of the water, the military and civilian supplies and food were too late to rescue, many people were still nested in the winter quilts, and many old and young, sick and disabled people basically did not have time to evacuate to the high ground.
The number of people killed in the flood reached more than 4,000, mostly civilians; Except for cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, which can escape to the roof, basically none of the livestock and horses survived. The rooftops, walls, and trees were all occupied by people trying to survive.
Because there was no food, they all went hungry for three days and three nights. Some people couldn't stand the hunger, so they went to the water to catch something to eat. Whatever is in the flood is to be eaten, the body is bound to be eaten badly. In addition, October in the north has become colder, and some people have even climbed the highlands, because their clothes are soaked and wet, and they are infected with the wind cold.
If it weren't for Qu Ping's destruction of the barrage dam downstream, the river would have retreated downstream, and the soldiers and civilians in Dading City would have survived.
As it was, the flood waters took a whole day to recede, revealing muddy and filthy ground.
Looking at the devastated Dading, Qu Ping said guiltily: "I'm a sinner! ”
Kutula said indifferently: "Fuck the enemy, treat the enemy, either kill him or make him a slave!" ”
Liu Guangshi also advised: "To treat the enemy, it is necessary to sweep away the fallen leaves and cut the grass without leaving roots in the autumn wind." The marshal does not have to blame himself, the war must be dead! ”
Qu Ping sighed and said, "But the people are innocent. ”
Han Shizhong said: "How can there be any innocent people, since they were born as the people of Jinguo, they have been bound to this country, and they live and die together. ”
Yue Fei said: "Even ordinary people will become soldiers. ”
Yang Zaixing said: "If the Great Song Dynasty is invaded, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will have a worse end." Back then, the people of the Central Plains were ten rooms and nine empty, and the Hu people were even worse than the beasts! During the Jingkang period, the Jin army invaded the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, slaughtered and plundered the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and even more captured tens of millions of people from the first emperor and the royal family, how can these be counted? The marshal did nothing to the people along the way, protected the fields, and exempted them from taxation, all of which everyone saw. This time, it was just the bad luck of the people accompanying the Jin army. This account can only be counted on Jin Bing, Wan Yan Sheng, and Wan Yan Zongfu! ”
Qu Tuye was silent, and when the five were chaotic, the party members were also accomplices.
Qu Ping sighed and said, "Okay, I know your thoughts. Let's go, let's visit Dading City. When the troops enter the city, they must restrain their respective troops and not make matters worse. ”
Song Jun arrived at the city gate with food, dry firewood, and clothes, Qu Ping took out a megaphone and shouted to the people on the city tower: "Open the city gate and surrender quickly, we can provide you with food, clothing and medical care, otherwise you will only have a dead end!" If you want to live, we can provide you with food, dry firewood, clothing, medicine, and most importantly, to ensure that your lives are worry-free! ”
The people of the city were hungry and cold, and the dead were mixed with those who were about to die.
The people knelt and cried and begged the golden soldiers to open the city gates, or everyone would die. Jin Bing was also very entangled, if he hadn't been wearing this dress and leading the salary of the court, he would have opened the city gate like the people.
Jin Bing reported to the generals above, and the generals reported level by level, and when they reported to the floor closest to the marshal, they found that the marshal Wanyan Zongfu had disappeared.
Everyone looked around, and they patronized every corner, but they didn't see Wanyan Zongfu. I don't know if Wanyan Zongfu died or fled. The royal flag beside the marshal was also gone.
"Strange, when the flood came, I watched the marshal go up to the roof early."
"I saw it during the day yesterday."
"The royal flag guards didn't see it either."
"Could it be...... Quietly gone? ”
The generals were silent, and this speculation is likely to be true.
Now that Wanyan Zongfu has disappeared, everyone has no choice but to elect the remaining top general as the leader and ask him to make the decision for everyone.
The top general is also very difficult, which is to call the shots for everyone, and it is clearly to blame for everyone's survival. Now the city has been destroyed by floods, the lives of the soldiers and the people have been ruined, the utensils have been damaged, and there is no combat strength at all to compete with Song Jin.
If you want to fight, you can only ask for death.
The supreme general was a Jin man, so he said to his subordinate lieutenant General Chen: "General Chen, you are a Han Chinese, everyone elects you as a representative, put down the drawbridge, and welcome the Song army into the city." ”
General Chen is very happy, this is a great achievement!
He happily went to lead the people to lower the drawbridge on the moat, ran alone in the mud to the front of the Song army, found the most dazzling white-clothed and white-horse general in the crowd, knelt on the ground despite the mud, bowed his head and kowtowed, and knocked his head full of mud.
General Chen said: "General Chen Tao has persuaded the Jin army in the city to abandon their weapons and surrender, and welcome the heavenly army into the city!" ”
Qu Ping couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Chen Tao's flattering posture and said, "Okay! Ben Shuai remembers you. Now this commander orders you to go and inform the soldiers of the Jin army in the city, all of them go out of the city to surrender in formation, and accept the deployment. ”
Chen Tao took the chicken feather as an arrow and returned to the city to announce the order of the commander of the Song army. Love to read
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jin army continued to go out of the city, lined up into a large area, and after losing their armor, they accepted the Song army.
Looking at the disgraced and embarrassed Jin army, Qu Ping said loudly: "Jin soldiers, your emperor Wanyan Sheng fled to Huining, and your marshal and prime minister Wanyan Zongfu also abandoned you. However, today my Da Song is here, we will tolerate you, we will lead you, and we will protect you! ”
Jin Bing bowed his head and was silent, expressing his agreement in his heart.
Qu Ping continued: "This marshal announced, the next moment, you will cut troops for the people. What you have removed is the status of a soldier of the Jin Dynasty, and you will become the people of my Great Song Dynasty, and enjoy all the treatment and benefits of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Those who want to be officials and soldiers have to be tested anew! ”
For some reason, when the soldiers of the Jin Army heard the news, they were a little relieved.
Qu Ping said, "Of course, before that, you must accept my last order!" ”
Jin Jun's heart hung again, and he didn't know what kind of difficulties he would face.
"Together with Song Jun, let Dading City shine again!" Qu Ping said.
It turned out to be the reconstruction of Dading City, which was an unshirkable responsibility. Jin Junqi said: "Okay! ”
With the joint efforts of the Jin soldiers and the people, hundreds of thousands of people worked overtime, which lasted two days, and finally completely cleaned up Dading and took on a new look. The sick soldiers and civilians in the city were also well healed.
After tens of thousands of Jin soldiers go to their posts and become the people, of course, it is impossible for them to go back at this time in the direction of the Northeast Jin Kingdom, but they can stay in Dading, or seek a way out from other state capitals in the west.
However, the soldiers are accustomed to receiving a salary and eating the imperial grain, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the fact that they are asked to find work or farm. In this case, 20,000 former Jin soldiers were conscripted into the Song army and became part of the extended family. The civil and military officials of the original Dading were also used according to their talents, and they were all happy.
After all, after the fall of the Liao State, the Jin Dynasty ruled this land for only more than ten years, and the people did not have a strong sense of belonging. Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, and good ministers have chosen their masters. This is the qualitative nature of all things, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Here is fun, not thinking.
After the Mongolian army entered the city, some unpleasant things happened because of nature.
There were Mongolian soldiers who prostituted women, or when they saw the good things of the people, they took them for themselves, did not give money for meals, and smashed shops.
After the Winter Window incident, Qu Ping forced Hu Tu to personally kill these black sheep.
On the contrary, it was the Western Xia soldiers, because the Song army had always treated them well, and there was no real Western Xia general to control them, so they acted much more restrained. 50,000 Western Xia soldiers have been on the expedition for four months, and after many large-scale battles, they still have 43,000 people, which shows that the Song army took care of them.
Excessive care made them feel guilty.
They sent a representative to Qu Tuye to say that since the Song army had basically decided the overall situation, and the Shangxi Xia army was not used much, it was better to let them return, and they could save a lot of food and armaments for the Song army.
Qu Tuye told Qu Ping the truth, and Qu Ping said with a smile after hearing it: "Dare to love me, this is a mistake, haha." In this case, let them fulfill their request, and give each of them more money and money, so that they can go back with peace of mind! ”
Qu Tu was a little disappointed in his heart, and said: "After the Western Xia soldiers withdraw, then the general will ......"
Qu Ping understood what he meant, he was afraid that his subordinates would be useless without soldiers and generals, Qu Ping comforted him and said: "General Qu Tu, what do you want, you are by your side, you can be worth thousands of troops!" ”
Qu Tuye said gratefully: "Thank you Marshal!" ”
Since he stabbed those disobedient subordinates, Kutura felt that he had been slapped in the face, his face was damaged, his heart was unhappy, and he was secretly resentful. Khutula asked to move his Mongol army to the eastern part of the province that he had previously occupied, in case the Jin army counterattacked.
Qu Ping has been busy with the government affairs in the city, and he didn't observe and experience his feelings about answering Hutura, so he agreed to move the division to Hutura, and let him go and then send someone to escort Wanyan Zongxian to Dadinglai, and then he and Wanyan Zongbi who was imprisoned in Yanqing Mansion were escorted back to Yingtian, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. He also told him to pay attention to Linhuang's defense and military affairs at the same time, and not to make jokes again.
Seeing that Qu Ping agreed to move his division, Ku Tura felt that Qu Ping thought that his Mongolian army was in Dading, so he led the Mongolian army to Xingzhong Mansion in a huff.
Ku Tu Ra took Qin Han away, but Qin Hui was left behind by Qu Ping.
Qin Hui has been lurking in the Jin Kingdom for many years, and he has indeed provided a lot of reliable information for the Great Song Dynasty, which is indispensable, and without him, Ku Tu Ra would not be able to easily defeat Yan Zongxian and then capture Linhuang.
"Brother Qin Hui, in the past few years, you have worked hard, and you have made a great contribution!" Qu Ping said sincerely.
Qin Hui said: "The marshal has won the award. Qin never forgot that he was a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, and never forgot to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. So over the years, even in the most difficult times, even when his life may be in danger at any time, Qin has never been afraid or hesitant! If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of blessings and misfortunes? Even if it is for Da Song, I will not hesitate! ”
Qu Ping sighed and said, "Brother Qin Hui, you really impress me!" ”
If it weren't for Qu Ping's reining of Qin Hui's precipice, what would it be like?
"Impressed, didn't the marshal have a bad impression of Qin at the beginning?" Qin Hui asked.
