Chapter 160: Finale
At the end of this battle, it was Han Shizhong who finally took down Yan Zonghan's head.
80,000 gold horsemen, killed not a single one.
Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, all over the mountains!
The Song court went to find Emperor Zhao Yuanhuan, but found that he was missing.
Finally, in the pile of Jin Qi's corpse, his body was found.
At first glance, it was Jin Bing's sharp blade that cut through Zhao Yuanhuan's neck, and next to his corpse, there was indeed Jin Bing's corpse.
But when Song Ting squatted down to examine it carefully, he found that he had actually been killed by a musket, and there was obviously a hole in his chest, and the projectile had penetrated deep into his heart.
This sudden situation made Song Ting's thoughts surge in his heart, he looked at the soldiers of his musket battalion, narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw that there was no one else next to him, so he immediately pretended to hold Zhao Yuanhuan's body and cried: "Your Majesty...... Dead! ”
The ministers were busy coming, crying and grabbing the ground, and the old ministers did not spare their tears.
Those concubines and concubines also wept.
The Song court also took advantage of the chaos to ask someone to carry Zhao Yuanhuan's body into the burial, and then asked Yang Zhao to send an army of 5,000 people to escort more than 1,000 people, including ministers, concubines, palace laves, and people's daughters, as well as Zhao Yuanhuan's coffin, to Bianjing.
And he led Han Shizhong, Lu Junyi, Yan Qing, Hu Sanniang and others to lead the army and continue to pursue northward, wanting to smash the capital of Jin and destroy Jin in one fell swoop.
There was also good news from Huazhou Road, killing 60,000 enemies, but he went to Zongwang, Zongwang fled all the way to the north in panic, and ran to Daxingfu (Jin Guodu, now Beijing), Yue Fei and others also led the army to the north, marching towards Nanjing (Pingzhou) of the Jin State.
Huazhou Road also brought other news, such as Zhao Jinji and Qin Hui died in the chaos......
In May, the army of Liang captured Pingzhou in one fell swoop.
The Song court gathered more than 100 famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty, including Zong Ze, Zong Shizhong, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Wang Kang, Lu Junyi, and Song Jiang, in Pingzhou, and gathered an army of 350,000.
In June, the 350,000 Liang army launched a war of annihilation against the Jin State, attacked all the way to Daxingfu, besieged the city until September, bombarded the city with artillery, and the Jin capital was broken.
In September, the Song court led his troops into the palace, and after taking the head of Zongwang, he took away more than 3,000 people, including the emperor Wanyan Sheng of the Jin State and his clan, princes and ministers, concubines and concubines.
As for the gold and silver belongings of the Jin Imperial Palace, they were naturally all transported to Bianjing.
In December of the following year, the cavalry of Wanyan Liang, the last armed force of the Jin State, was defeated by Yue Fei in the Northern Desert, and the Jin State was officially destroyed.
Daliang, the crown prince Zhao Chen ascended the throne, and the year name was "Zhongxing".
The new emperor is young, and the Empress Dowager Zhu listens to the government.
The new emperor crowned Song Ting as the crown prince and prince, the general who protected the country, and the king of Jing.
For a time, the Song court became the most powerful vassal king in Daliang, and he was a very popular minister, which has not been seen since ancient times.
In addition, the military power of the Song court has always been retained, after all, every soldier in the entire musket battalion was recruited by him, and whether to retain military power or not is not the final say of the queen mother and the new emperor.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, all matters big and small have been asked by King Jing, and the government affairs of the court have also been handed over to King Jing to handle.
Especially in the policy towards the Jin State, the new emperor listened to King Jing's advice, carried out a comprehensive sinicization of the Jurchen people, carried out Chinese education in the Jurchen region, let them take Chinese names, learn Chinese characters, wear Hanfu, everything was in accordance with the Han way, and after ten years, the word "Jurchen" would no longer be heard.
And the captive Jin Emperor Wan Yan Sheng, who was named "Anle Gong", also has his own small fiefdom, which can manage hundreds of Jin people, but these Jin people are all "Jin people" after being sinicized, and they are no different from Han people.
Wan Yansheng was also often invited to court banquets.
Once, Song Ting grabbed Yan Sheng's hand, pointed to the area of the former Jin Kingdom on the map, and said: "An Le Gong, in the past, the gold land is now owned by my Daliang, and the word 'Jurchen' no longer exists, how do you feel as the king of the dead country?"
Wan Yan Sheng trembled and said: "His Royal Highness King Jing, I, Wan Yan Sheng, am also Han!" Why did Your Highness say this? ”
Song Ting, Zhao Chen, and Empress Dowager Zhu all laughed, and the hundred officials also laughed, and Wan Yansheng also laughed when he saw everyone laughing.
After recuperating for ten years, Daliang launched a war to destroy the Western Xia.
In the eleventh year of Zhongxing, Western Xia was destroyed.
In the twelfth year of Zhongxing, Nanzhao was incorporated into the land of Daliang.
In the thirteenth year of Zhongxing, Tubo became a subject state of Daliang.
In the fifteenth year of Zhongxing, South Vietnam was suddenly attacked by the Great Liang army, and five cities were slaughtered, with 300,000 dead. The revenge of Qinzhou and Lianzhou being slaughtered back then was shameful.
In the eighteenth year of Zhongxing, a major event occurred in the Daliang court - Emperor Zhao Chen wanted to abdicate and pass the throne to the crown prince Zhao Qin.
And Zhao Chen himself wants to accompany his mother, Empress Dowager Zhu, to travel all over the country.
It turned out that under the governance of the Song Dynasty, on the basis of the imperial examination, there was another national policy - "rejuvenating the country through industry", and the basis for the development of industrial rejuvenation is to reward inventions.
Industry arose thanks to invention, and the southeast coast saw the emergence of capitalism, which was prosperous and rich.
After Zhao Chen passed the throne to the crown prince Zhao Qin, he was still assisted by the Song court.
After Zhao Qin ascended the throne, he also respected the Song court, accepted the advice of the Song court, vigorously developed the navy, carried out international trade and trade, introduced Western crops, etc., and made every effort to solve the problem of food and clothing for the peasants.
During the 20 years of the Song Dynasty's auxiliary government, Daliang became one of the most powerful countries in the world.
[Postscript]——
The time is the eighth year of Zhongxing, and the location is Jingwangfu.
With a "quack", a little life was born in King Jing's Mansion, and the midwife shouted: "His Royal Highness King Jing!" Raw! Raw! It's a boy! ”
Song Ting immediately ran in, happy as a child, and gently grabbed Zhao Yuanzhen's hand, who was sweating profusely, "Zhen'er, did I say that we are still young, so we can't ...... to give birth to a child?"
Zhao Yuanzhen's beautiful eyes squinted at him, sweating profusely, his hair was scattered, and he gasped vigorously and said: "In the past few years, the concubine has been frightened every day, worried that she can't leave a queen for your Song family, but now you can finally rest assured......"
"Well, Zhen'er, you have a good rest, I'm so happy for my husband today!"
"The concubine doesn't want to rest, the concubine ...... Still want to ...... I also want to give Xianggong a girl...... Xianggong said that he likes girls, Xianggong, take a look...... Isn't it...... Girl? ”
With a "quack", another small life was born.
The midwife exclaimed in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Jing, it's really a girl!"
After the dragon and phoenix fetus cut off the umbilical cord in the hands of the midwife and washed it with warm water, a group of women walked in outside the door to say hello to Song Ting.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, congratulations!"
"Master Pony, you're amazing! Dragon and phoenix fetus! ”
One of the discordant voices, Li Ji urged a chubby seven or eight-year-old boy to come forward, "Go, call Daddy!" ”
And Fang Jinzhi could only look at it enviously.
Youjian, Xiaoman, Qingzhu, and Snow Goose looked at the chubby little boy, and then looked at Li Ji and laughed.
A seven or eight-year-old boy stepped forward and pulled Song Ting's shirt, "Dad...... Daddy......"
Song Ting turned his head and was shocked, "Who are you!?" Call me Daddy? ”
