Chapter 174: Grief

"Just a month ago, my daughter-in-law was walking down the street and was seen by a golden soldier! That Jin Bing insulted my daughter-in-law on the street, my son couldn't look past it, and he was going to fight with Jin Bing at that time! Several golden soldiers rushed over and pushed my son to the ground, and they raped my daughter-in-law in front of my son! The daughter-in-law was humiliated and committed suicide by biting her tongue! Those golden soldiers cut my son into several pieces! Then they found out the address of my house, threw the body of my son who was desperate for his life, and then they looted everything in my house, and they robbed everything of value! My two daughters, who have not yet come out of the court, were also humiliated to death by them! Lao Sheng was thrown to the ground by them, unable to get up, and they stepped on Lao Sheng's body a few times before leaving! The old man wept.

Zhao Chen frowned.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen is brutal, and she is simply not human! My child was only four years old, and while he was playing outside, several Jurchens came over, and the Jurchens didn't know what they were talking about, and then they grabbed my child! A Jurchen threw my child into the air, and when my child fell, the Jurchen next to him kicked my child into the sky with his foot! My kids were screaming and they were laughing all the time! I rushed up, but they knocked me to the ground! Later, my child's voice became quieter and quieter, and when the Jurchens finally left, my child had already died, and I still remember his painful expression when he died! He's only four years old, tortured like this! A middle-aged man with an unusually thin appearance cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, my husband was also killed by the Jurchens! The Jurchens let them do labor, and from morning to night, from night to morning, there was no time to rest, and my husband was beaten to death with a whip just by accidentally taking a nap! A woman cried.

There were crying voices everywhere, and the people of Chang'an City were crying bitterly, telling about their miserable lives in the past two years! In the past two years, I don't know how many Han people have been brutally beaten to death and killed, and as for the suffering, cold, and starvation, it is even more common, and almost all Han people in Chang'an have "enjoyed" such treatment!

Zhao Chen stood there, feeling very uncomfortable!

Originally, he laid down Chang'an, and he was in a good mood! But at this moment, he only has sorrow!

In two years, the people of Chang'an City have suffered so many disasters! Like other places in the Central Plains, needless to say, the people there will never suffer fewer disasters than the people of Chang'an! Historically, when the Jurchens went south, more than 10 million Han people died, and when the Mongols went south, more than 50 million Han people died! Every foreign invasion is a great disaster for the Han Chinese! For example, in the internal war of the Han people, although there are also military disasters, they will never reach the point of destroying the country and extinction, and no one can really completely exterminate their own people! Only a foreigner would be so ruthless!

"Don't worry, I will avenge you! I will definitely not let go of the Jurchen barbarians! I have been dormant in Hanzhong for two years, and subduing Guanshan and conquering Chang'an is only the first step! In the future, I will subdue the entire Central Plains, I will subdue the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures that I lost when I was in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and I will also fight to the hometown of the Jurchens, and completely subdue the Jurchens, so that they will no longer dare to have the slightest ambition, and let them pay the price for their past sins! Zhao Chen said.

"Is what Your Majesty said true?" The old man who spoke first asked excitedly.

"Nature is true! Speaking of which, it's my Zhao family who I'm sorry for everyone! My father and grandfather did not do well, the country **, and the armaments were lax, which made the Jurchen invade, and this caused the people of the world to suffer disasters! In fact, what Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong did was also a little bad, they promoted literature and suppressed martial arts, making my Great Song Dynasty's military strength inferior to one generation after another, which led to all kinds of disasters later, whether it was Khitan, Western Xia, or Jurchen, they could invade the Great Song Dynasty and harm our people! From now on, I will change the rules of my ancestors, and I will never again promote literature and suppress martial arts, I will go all out to develop armaments and fight with the Jurchens! Zhao Chen said.

Wang Shu next to him was taken aback, thinking that Zhao Chen was going to completely change the national policy, if this word spread to Hanzhong, Jiangnan and other places, the scholars everywhere would be in an uproar! You must know that after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the national policy of promoting literature and suppressing military force has been implemented for more than 100 years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! In the hearts of the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, the status of the literati was much higher than that of the warriors, and the scholars everywhere looked down on those ordinary soldiers, and in their eyes, those soldiers were all despicable! Even ordinary soldiers and warriors, they naturally think that their status is inferior to those scholars! But now, Zhao Chen wants to change all this! If this is transmitted back to Hanzhong, it will not be a big mess, right?

Wang Shu was nervous in his heart, thinking that he must not let this news get out! He looked at the Imperial Camp soldiers around him, and thought to himself that he must warn these Imperial Camp soldiers later, so that they should not talk nonsense!

But these people of Chang'an City were overjoyed when they heard this! After experiencing such a catastrophe, the people of Chang'an City longed for the invincible strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and they had already begun to spurn the so-called "Yangwen and Suppress Martial Arts"!

"Your Majesty is wise!" Countless people fell to their knees and said excitedly.

"I swear today that I will drive out the Tartars in my lifetime! I'm going to spend all my time and energy on this thing, and I'm going to fight for it! I will inevitably compensate the people and let them live a better life than before the Jurchen invasion! Zhao Chen said.

There was no need to say much about the sorrow in his heart, and at this time, Yue Fei came to the city wall and strode towards Zhao Chen.

"Is the war in the city over completely?" Zhao Chen said.

"The war in the city has ended, and the only remaining Jurchens and Khitans in the city have been subdued by us...... Your Majesty, the last will have a message. Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and said.

"What's the news?" Zhao Chen said.

"This ......" Yue Fei wanted to say and stopped.

"Speak quickly!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, these words must not be heard by others!" Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded, he and Yue Fei came to the side, and said, "Can you talk about it now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has passed away!" Yue Fei said softly.

"What!" Zhao Chen was stunned and stayed there!

The so-called queen mother is Song Qinzong's queen Zhu, and she is also Zhao Chen's biological mother! Empress Zhu was taken to Huining Mansion by the Jurchens, and the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu begged to humiliate Empress Zhu, and Empress Zhu committed suicide by jumping into the river! Yue Fei had just gotten the news when he was interrogating a few Jurchen generals, so he hurriedly came to report it!

Zhao Chen stayed there, tears streaming from his eyes!

He has only been in Kaifeng for more than half a year, and he has only been with Empress Zhu for half a year! But he knew that Empress Zhu really loved him, and he did feel the existence of maternal love from Empress Zhu's body! There is also a mother-son relationship between them! In this era, men and women married early and gave birth to children early, Empress Zhu was only sixteen years older than him, and Empress Zhu was less than thirty years old when she died! At such an age, he was in his prime, but he died in the hands of the Jurchens! His mother died at the hands of the Jurchens!

"Your Majesty's condolences!" Yue Fei knelt on the ground and said.

"This hatred is in my heart! Settle accounts with the Jurchens later! At present, our strength is not as good as theirs, and we still have to develop for a few years! Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and said.

******

Half a month has passed since the Battle of Chang'an, and it has reached the first day of the second month!

On the one hand, there are also a lot of Jurchen garrisons in northern Shaanxi, on the other hand, there are still a lot of rebels in northern Shaanxi, and the situation there is very complicated! Moreover, after the forbidden army, the Jingyuan army, and the Huanqing army experienced a big battle, there were many casualties, and new troops needed to be replenished! Chang'an and other places have just been defeated, and they also need to be born and rested, and they need to let the people in these places be able to live first, so the war here can be stopped in a short time!

But in the Central Plains of Henan, there is still an endless battle here!

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou led an army of 150,000 Jurchens here, and Zong Ze arranged more than 2 million rebels here!

Zong Ze is also a generation of famous ministers, quite resourceful, at this time Zong Ze actually adopted the guerrilla tactics of Hedong! Two million rebel troops were scattered all over the Central Plains, and they did not fight the Jurchens head-on, but only constantly attacked the Jurchens' grain routes, which made the Jurchens exhausted!

Occasionally, Zong Ze also commanded the rebels to launch some attacks, which also caused a lot of losses to the Jurchens!

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou's room are trapped here, and it is difficult to get out for a while!

But the two of them were just irritable and didn't worry! In their opinion, these rebels will only be guerrilla, and it is almost impossible to inflict large-scale damage on the Jurchen army!

Now they are just waiting for the grain and grass to arrive, and when the time comes, they will ignore it and go straight south!

On the third day of the second lunar month, Wanyan Lou's room was in Kaifeng City, and they had already beaten it down again! At this time, several Jurchen soldiers ran over!

"What happened?" Wan Yan Lou asked immediately.

"General, the big thing is not good, the Han people in Guanshan are attacking, and the female general of Wanyan is defeated by them, and now her life and death are unknown!" A Jurchen knelt on the ground and said.

"What? How can it be? Wan Yan Lou was taken aback and said.

He frowned, shook his head after a while, and said, "This must not be true!" The Han people are incompetent and cowardly, and they will not be our opponents! There are many soldiers and horses there for the living girl, and our Jurchen is invincible, and it is impossible to lose! ”

The Jurchens below knelt there and said, "General, this is true, it's true!" ”

Wanyan Lou Room felt a little anxious in his heart, and said, "I'll go and talk to the second prince, if it's possible, I'll go back and have a look!" ”

At that moment, Wanyan Lou asked to see Wan Yan Zongwang, Wan Yan Zongwang felt that Wan Yan Lou was completely worried, but Wan Yan Lou was very persistent, so Wan Yan Zongwang ordered Wan Yan Lou to lead 10,000 people to Tongguan!

At that time, Yan Lou led 10,000 people to the north, and on the seventh day of the second month, they came to the Yellow River! At this time, the Yellow River was still not unsealed, they stepped on the ice from the Yellow River, and when they came to the bottom of Tongguan, Wanyan Lou Room shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
