Chapter 9 Asking for Gold and Silver Silk Silk Girls Looting the people's fat and the people's ointment

In Zongwang's tent, Song Qinzong heard what Zongwang said, he was ecstatic, he had enough of it in the golden camp these days, and when he heard that Zongwang could promise to let him go back, he hurriedly asked with a happy face: "I don't know what the conditions are, but the marshal said it is okay."

Zong Wang said lightly: "This expedition is hard, and I also ask the Emperor of the Song State to reward the soldiers of our three armies with some money and food first, so that I can persuade the soldiers to let Your Majesty go back." When Qin Zong heard this, he nodded busily and said, "It should be, it should be, I don't know how much to ask?" ”

Listening to Zongwang and Qinzong talking, Su Yuanjing and Huang Sheng shook their heads secretly, where is this peace, it is clear that they were led by the nose by the Jin people, it seems that the emperor will agree to any conditions in order to go back.

Zong Wang was not polite, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, this reward for the three armies will first come with 10 million gold ingots, 20 million silver ingots, and 10 million silk horses." Hearing this, the monarchs and ministers of the Song family were all dumbfounded, and Su Yuanjing was the first to shout: "It's just a reward for the soldiers of the three armies, where do you want to get so much?" ”

Zong Wang said unhurriedly: "Our army is 400,000, and there are many soldiers and civilians, even if it is more than 500,000. On the head of each man is twenty ingots of gold, forty ingots of silver, and twenty horses of silk, and besides, will the generals of our army take the same as the soldiers? After all, there is not much to distribute to everyone. Speaking of this, without waiting for Su Yuanjing to refute, Zong Wang looked at Qin Zong and said coldly: "I don't know if Your Majesty will agree?" If you don't agree, please ask Your Majesty to stay a few more days so that you can think about it. ”

Su Yuanjing was furious, and was about to speak, but Qin Zong hurriedly stopped him, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Yes, I promised this, but I needed too much, and I ordered someone to raise it after I went back, and then send it." ”

Zong Wang nodded and said: "Okay, but after these gold and silver silk silks were transported to my camp, our army came from afar, and there was no extra animal power to carry them, and I also asked Your Majesty to ration 15,000 mules for carrying these gold and silver treasures." ”

Su Yuanjing and other Song ministers all felt that Jin Ren was opening his mouth widely, but Song Qinzong insisted on humiliating and retreating, and immediately nodded in agreement, and several ministers were all pale.

In the end, Zong Wang said: "When I came to the south for a long time, I never brought my family, let alone the soldiers, even me, the coach, and even a maid who served tea and poured water, slurry laundry. I heard that the women of the Central Plains are virtuous and hardworking, and I also asked His Majesty to choose 3,000 girls to come to the barracks after returning to serve tea, pour water, pulp and laundry for our army generals. ”

Su Yuanjing, Huang Sheng and other Song ministers were all furious, and they all stood up together, and they all said loudly and angrily: "This will never be agreed!" Song Qinzong turned his head and glared at the ministers and said, "What is this called?" Isn't this a negotiation? Sit down first! The ministers were helpless, and they all sat down with a blue face.

Qin Zong turned back to Zong and said, "The marshal is marching, there are women in the camp, there is a lot of inconvenience, is it not to mention this item?" Zong Wang shook his head and said, "In that case, Your Majesty should stay and think about it for a few more days." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zong stubbornly said: "It's just that three thousand girls are too many, and please raise your hand." Zong Wang was about to refuse, but Zong Han interjected on the side: "Since His Majesty Song Guo has interceded, then reduce the amount and ask for 1,500 girls to come." Zong Wang saw Zong Han speak, so he said: "Okay, it's 1,500, this is for the sake of Your Majesty's face to give in, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, then the soldiers under my command won't agree." ”

Qin Zong had no choice but to agree. At that moment, Zong Wang said: "Your Majesty can go back, but you can only choose two ministers to go back together, and the rest of the people will stay in the camp as hostages." Qin Zong sighed, looked at the ministers in the tent, and only picked He Li and Sun Fu, and the rest of Su Yuanjing, Huang Shang, Zhang Bangchang and others were left as hostages.

Seeing that Qinzong agreed to the conditions one by one, Zongwang and other Jin generals were satisfied, so he let Qinzong, He Li, and Sun Fu go back, and Su Yuanjing and others were still detained and imprisoned. After the monarchs and ministers of the Song family left, Zong Wang looked at the pharmacist Guo in the tent and asked, "Just let him go back like this, aren't you afraid that he will miss the appointment again?" ”

Guo Yaoshi said with a smile: "Then the Emperor of the Song Kingdom has already suffered enough, and he will definitely comply with everything when he goes back this time." If there is anything wrong with him, just let him go, and ask him to come to Jinying again, and he will definitely obey. Our army now occupies the four walls of Kaifeng, and the people in the city can't get out, and many trebuchets have been erected at the head of the city. Zong Wang laughed and said: "Okay, get rid of the sword soldiers, what we want, let the emperor send it obediently, it's so easy, why not?" After that, all the gold generals in the account laughed.

Taking advantage of Zongwang's good mood, Guo Yaoshi said: "Yesterday, Yanjing had another villain's army to help in the war, about more than 1,000 people, just because they were all Liao people, and they hated the Song people for breaking the contract back then, so they wanted to go to the city wall to garrison, and wanted to hit a few stones to Kaifeng City to vent their anger, especially to the marshal." Zong Wang was in a good mood, and said disapprovingly: "You can arrange it yourself, there are hundreds of thousands of horses in our army, and there is no need to report to me if these more than 1,000 military horses are transferred." Pharmacist Guo bowed down to receive the order, but secretly thought in his heart: "This trip to the master's plan will definitely be successful." ”

However, it was said that Qinzong and He Li and Sun Fu were put back, and the Jin soldiers escorted the three to ride in an ox cart and go around the city for a week. Sitting in the car, Qinzong's face was sluggish, and when he recalled it, he was so sad that his tears were wet unconsciously in his eyes.

When he arrived at Nanxunmen, Song Qinzong cried when he saw the ministers and soldiers and civilians who came to greet him. Seeing that many people here came to greet him, Qin Zong felt in his heart, after all, there were still many subjects who were worried about their safety. When he walked to the palace, he still cried incessantly, and the crying inside and outside the palace was even more shocking. Song Qinzong went to Jinying for the first time, experienced all the calamities, suffered humiliation and suffering within a few days, and now he is standing in his palace, enjoying brocade clothes and jade food, and the beauties in the palace around him have come to comfort, and it is like a world away for a while. From this moment on, Qin Zong secretly resolved that no matter what, he would never go to the hellish golden camp again.

The next morning, when the court ascended to the palace, Qinzong told the gold, silver, silk, mule, horse, and girl belongings that the gold people were asking for, and even issued an edict to teach them to gather this huge amount of gold and silver. The ministers all looked at each other when they heard this, and the ministers in charge of the household department were embarrassed and said that there was no money in the palace and the palace now. Qinzong ordered a large-scale looting of gold, silver, silk and silk among the people, and then ordered the powerful, wealthy, and businessmen to contribute to the army.

The so-called contribution is actually snatching. For those who resisted, they were often in a flail, and even Empress Zheng's family was not spared. Even so, the gold and silver were still insufficient, and the four ministers including Mei Zhili, who was responsible for the looting of gold and silver, were also executed because of the unfavorable looting, and other officials who were reprimanded with rods abounded, and the people were forced to commit suicide in many places, and the city of Kaifeng was in a state of chaos and depression.

The Jin people asked for mules and horses, there were not many horses in Kaifeng, and the officials in the city tried their best to loot them, only to find more than 7,000 horses, and the horses in the capital were empty, and the bureaucrats actually had people who went to the court on foot.

The Jin people asked for 1,500 girls, Song Qinzong did not dare to slack off, the government forcibly recruited the women of the people, for a time the girls of the people were hiding, and they could not find so many girls, Qinzong even let himself in the palace and the maids to reach the number, the girls were unwilling to be humiliated, and the dead were very numerous.

In a word, Kaifeng City has been chaotic, and the Jin people did not come to loot, and after Qinzong's words, the Song people themselves robbed themselves.

Although they dug three feet into the ground, the number of gold and silver, mules and horses, and maidens they looted was still not enough. Three days later, after the first batch of looted and looted gold, silver, mules, horses, and girls were sent to the gold camp, Zong Wang saw that the number of things sent was less than half of the request, and he was immediately furious, and immediately ordered the trebuchet at the head of the city to fire a salvo as a warning, and ordered the ministers of the Song Dynasty who came to send things back to pass the ceremony, if within five days, and then make up the number of claims, the stone throwing machine at the head of the city will be launched day and night, and at the same time, the Jin army will enter the city to invite Qinzong to the gold camp, so that he can stay for a few more days.

The minister hurriedly went back to pray, Qinzong was shocked when he heard this, and sure enough, after a while, the golden army at the head of the city fired a round of trebuchets, and more than 5,000 stone bullets fell, smashing many houses and houses in the city, the momentum was huge and shocking.

Seeing this, Qinzong was afraid that the Jin people would really rush to the palace and arrest him, so he ordered the government to step up the expropriation and looting. As a result, the Kaifeng Prefecture sent officials to directly break into the homes of residents to search for them, and they were rampant, such as catching rebellions. The people have 5 families to protect each other, supervise each other, and if there is any concealment, they can denounce it. Even the poor people, monks, workers, and advocates of Futian Temple were also looted. By the end of the first month, Kaifeng Mansion collected 160,000 taels of gold, 2 million taels of silver, and 1 million pieces of satin, but it was still far from the amount demanded by the gold people. When the officials of the Song Dynasty went to the gold camp to deliver gold and silver, the Jin people were arrogant and rude, and humiliated in every way. Since Song Qinzong began to loot, Kaifeng City will not stop the snow, the people of Bianjing have nothing to eat, after eating all the leaves, cats and dogs in the city, they will cut the starvation for food, coupled with the epidemic disease, starvation, disease and death are countless.

The people of Tokyo could not bear the extortion and killing, and the rebel army organized under the command of Zhu Tong and other eight-member generals, "in the name of protection, built weapons on the stove" and prepared for armed resistance. When the Jin people heard the news, they sent people into the city to send an order, asking Qinzong to order the disbandment of the forbidden army and the rebel army in the city, and not to resist.

Qinzong was frightened, and naturally he did everything. So in the first month of the heavy snow and cold day, Wang Yan, the general of the forbidden army, was taken down and imprisoned on the spot, and the forbidden army was forced to withdraw from the imperial city and stand by in the military camp in the city. The rebels in the city became the target of the government's ban, and the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture hurriedly issued a ban on it, and sent the forbidden army to suppress it, and on the same day, they arrested and beheaded 17 people to show the public. Zhu Tong and the others saw that the situation was not good, so they had to teach the righteous army to break into pieces and hide first. As a result, the Jin people did not defeat the rebels, but the rebels in the city were defeated by their own forbidden army first.

However, the Jin people did not give up, and when they saw that the Song people could not get together the amount of gold and silver to ask for the amount of gold and silver, they agreed to use other things to redeem the gold and silver, and plunder other things to redeem the gold and silver. All the ritual vessels for worshipping the heavens, the Dharma of the Son of Heaven, various books and classics, Dacheng musical instruments and even the costumes and props used in the hundred operas are all searched. Doctors, labourers, and craftsmen of all kinds were also plundered. and frantically plundered women, as long as they had a little appearance, they were captured by Kaifeng Mansion for the fun of the gold people. At that time, Shi Yong, the king of Shangshu, was the hardest at plundering women, and was known as "the grandfather of the golden man". Kaifeng Mansion Yin Xu Bingzhe is not far behind, in order to please the Jin people, he will be unkempt, has shown the appearance of the woman grease powder, disguise, the whole car into the gold camp, so that Kaifeng City is full of complaints, the people are not happy.
