The third year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, autumn.

50,000 Jurchen iron cavalry into the hinterland of Hebei, along the way around the city, only in the countryside to burn and loot, if the Ming army out of the city to pursue, immediately hurried away and never fight.

The Ming army in various places was exhausted, and because the local officials in charge of the government had many mishandles, for a time the people in Hebei were full of grievances and laments.

Although Luan Tingyu, the governor of Hebei, tried his best to kill a few Jurchen cavalry, it did not help the overall situation, so he had to send people to play the court while strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness - but this approach was actually just a prevarication in desperation, because Japan and Hebei were separated by oceans, and it would take at least nearly three months to come and go, and the Jurchen iron cavalry would probably flee early!

It was September.

Because the Jin army set fire to the fields and threw the corpses in the wilderness, there was no harvest in many places in Hebei, and the plague broke out everywhere, and by the end of the month, hundreds of thousands of displaced people gathered outside the city of the Daimyo's mansion, and the people's grievances flourished day by day.

The seventh day of October.

Wu Kai arrived in a hurry from Japan, and he also carried the grain and grass from Japan, Goryeo, and looted, and the hearts of the people inside and outside the Daimyo Mansion were greatly boosted, and the cheers continued all night.

The eighth day of October.

Wu Kai ordered people to put up a list, saying that the food he carried was only enough for the victims of Hebei for a month, in addition, there was no surplus grain under the Ming Dynasty that could be used for disaster relief, and now the plan, if the hungry people in Hebei do not want to starve to death, the only way to think about 'food to the enemy'.

Therefore, he was ready to collect 150,000 people, enter the Jin country with the imperial army, slaughter the Hu people, and seize all their property to feed the victims!

The grain and millet obtained in this battle were scattered to the hungry people in Hebei; The seized land and mansions are all returned to the entourage; The wealth paid by the women is given to the meritorious soldiers!

After the post was posted, there were many applicants in the past few days.

Of course, there were inevitably some of the victims who were unwilling to take risks in Hudi, and even tried to incite the victims to rebel against the will of the imperial court - these people had done similar things when Luan Tingyu was in charge before, and they also gained some benefits.

However, this time, the same way was concocted, but it was kicked to the iron plate, Wu Kai sent people to arrest all the troublemakers, regardless of the master and slave, and punished them with death, and the corpses were stripped of meat into soup and given to the victims who were not taboo.

Since then, Wu Kai has become more famous among the people, not inferior to Shang Xia Wei.

There was also a murmur in the court, and Yue Fei, the general of Jin Wuwei, reprimanded him in person, and even almost admonished him to death, but Wu Kai still went his own way, and even said to people in private: "If you can't do it wantonly, what's the use of wanting this throne?" ”

October 15.

Soldiers and horses requisitioned from Shandong, Goryeo, and Japan arrived one after another, including 30,000 imperial troops, 30,000 Goryeo puppet troops, and 50,000 Han troops.

Wu Kai took the stage in the north of the city to pay homage to the generals, with Lin Dengwan, the governor of Shandong, as the commander, Yue Fei, the general of Jin Wuwei, as the deputy, Shi Qian, Zhang Jun, Zong Qingwu, Niu Gao, Qin Ming, Lin Chong, Zhu Wu, Ou Peng and other dozens of generals, all of whom went out to the army.

With the army and civilians, there were more than 180,000 people.

The army marched slowly, and after breaking through to the border of the Jin State, it killed nearly 10,000 enemies and broke several cities in ten days, leaving not a single soldier behind, only filling it with the strength of the people, and giving the soldiers they had surrendered.

For example, in a city garrisoned by the people, more than half of the men in the city were slaughtered, and if the women were not protected by officers and soldiers, most of them became public prostitutes.

November 14.

The Ming army, which was gradually approaching Shangjing, finally encountered the main force of the Jin army.

That night, Wanyan Zonghan personally led 30,000 iron cavalry to attack the Minzhuang camp, intending to drive Minzhuang to attack the Ming army's main formation.

Wanyan Zongwang took 5,000 Tiefutu as the vanguard, commanded 50,000 cavalry and more than 60,000 infantry, copied from Sanba, and took advantage of the chaos to besiege and kill the Ming army!

However, the mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Jin army had been detected by the hot air balloons of the Ming army as early as a few days ago, and the Ming army planned to deploy 79 heavy machine guns in the Minzhuang camp [produced by the strength of the country for several years], and severely defeated Yan Zonghan's department.

The main force of the Ming army took advantage of the situation, with grenadiers as the pioneer, and the anti-guest as the main raid on Yan Zongwang's handsome tent.

After this battle, the Jin army's ace Tiefutu was annihilated, more than half of the 80,000 iron cavalry were lost, and less than 30% of the 60,000 foot soldiers remained, and they no longer had the strength to compete with the Ming army.

On November 19, it snowed heavily in Beijing.

Above the tower of the south gate, the important ministers of the Jin State gathered together, and the three of Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begging, Generalissimo Wanyan Zongwang, and Taibao Wanyan Zonghan sat around, but in the middle was a steaming antique soup [hot pot].

Wu Qimai and Zong Wang each held a pair of chopsticks carved from white marble, sticking to the sauce and eating happily, from time to time they were burned a few times, but the chopsticks never stopped.

Wanyan Zonghan just silently added beef and mutton to it, and he didn't mean to feast at all.

Everyone in the four places was even more mournful, bowing their heads silently.

This wordless silence lasted until Wu Qimai and Zong Wang swallowed six catties of meat together to support their bellies.

"Hiccup~!"

Wanyan Wu begged to bend his shoulders and neck, burped a lot, and poured another sip of mare's milk wine, and then said with a grin: "Let's talk about it, what do the big guys think." ”

Wanyan Zonghan had been impatient to wait for a long time, and when he heard this, he rushed up and shouted loudly: "So far, what else is there to say?" Before the Ming people arrived, the big guy hurried into the mountain to hide! What kind of bullshit is faceless, when our Jurchens were bullied by the Liao people in the past, did they hide less? ! ”

As soon as Zong Han said this, most of the older people echoed it, but the young generals showed a little reluctance.

"The bird slave [Zong Han's nickname] is inappropriate."

Wanyan Zongwang on the other side shook his head, sighed and said: "The Liao people are good at plundering, but the Han people are the best at management, especially when I have been building a lot of buildings in the country and building so many cities in these years, if they are all cheap to the Han people, I am afraid that in a few years, my Jurchen people will have no place to stand in Liaodong." ”

After a pause, he added: "Besides, how many young people do you think today's young people can afford to live a hard life in the mountains like you and me back then? Also, how should the wives and concubines in their families be settled? ”

Zong Han looked at him for a while, and suddenly sat down on the cushion again, and knocked the low table irritably: "Then what should I do, do you want to stay in this capital and wait for death?!" You have also seen with your own eyes how sharp the firearms of the Ming people are - just a few hundred people can make 30,000 iron horsemen return! The walls of the Daimyo's Mansion were taller than those in the capital, but they were collapsed in less than an hour! ”

Wanyan Zonghan is a god of war in the hearts of the Jurchens, but now he is full of the enemy's ambition and his own prestige, and everyone present who listens to it only feels harsh, but what he said is true, there is no way to refute it, and for a while, the atmosphere on the city tower has become a little depressed.

"Alas~"

Seeing that Zong Wang and Zong Han looked at each other speechlessly, Wanyan Wu Qimai suddenly sighed, stood up and walked to the battlements, looking at the snowy field, some reluctance flashed in his eyes, but soon turned into a decisive decision: "Pu Luhu [Wanyan Zongpan, Wu begging to buy the eldest son], you go and take inventory, see how many of the young children in the clan are willing to enter the mountain, and then bring all the dry food to go out of the city!" ”

"Father Khan!"

Wanyan Zongpan hesitated, but couldn't help but ask, "Then ...... you?"

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked back at Zong Wang and Zong Han, and laughed: "Our old bones don't die, how can the Han people be willing to give up?" Bird slave [Zonghan], Hulu supplement [Wanyan Zongwang], how about you accompany me to die once? ”

On October 21, the snow was knee-high.

Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begged to lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to surrender, and the next day was escorted to the Hebei Daimyo Mansion, accompanied by the Liao State Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

As soon as the news came out, the world shook, and in the middle of the day, there was Huaixi Wang Qing to surrender, and the Southern Song Dynasty court was even more shocked three times a day, Zhao Gou hurriedly sent the first assistant Qin Hui as an envoy to the Daimyo Mansion to congratulate, and at the same time to listen to the next move of the Ming Kingdom.
