Chapter 452: Paradise of the Aftermath
Less than ten days after the 50,000-strong army led by Ali Hague set off, Ah Shu received the emperor's holy decree. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This time, Ah Shu did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the army to leave Xuancheng and march in the direction of Lin'an Fucheng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, with about 50,000 Mongolian soldiers remaining in Xuancheng and other places, and the remaining 150,000 soldiers, all following Ah Shu's expedition.
The capture of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty meant that the Great Yuan Dynasty completely destroyed the Great Song Dynasty.
Ah Shu didn't think so simply, he hoped to capture the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty alive and force the Great Song Emperor to surrender.
The complete victory in the battle of Dingjiazhou made Ah Shu full of confidence, he believed that the Song army had no large-scale army in the south, and the occupation of Lin'an Fucheng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the complete extermination of the Great Song Dynasty court, was already a sure thing, but as the commander of the southern army, Ah Shu was still sober and cautious, after the army set off from Xuancheng, he sent many scouts to reconnoiter along the road.
The cities passed along the way were all descending from the wind, and the staff and soldiers under his command all pleaded to speed up the pace of the army's march and strive to occupy the city of Lin'an as soon as possible, but Ah Shu did not agree.
The defeat of the battle of Dingjiazhou made the Great Song Dynasty completely lose hope, and the only thing the emperor and the ministers of the court could rely on was Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei, but unfortunately Wu Shaogang was far away in Kaifeng Fucheng, and the distant water could not save the near fire.
A lot of rich gentry and wealthy families, has long arranged for their families to carry gold and silver, to Sichuan and the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, heard that the Mongolian army has approached the news of Lin'an Fucheng, many magnates have chosen to flee directly, these people's luck is quite good, originally prepared to control the two Guangxi Yuan Dynasty expedition to the south of the army deputy marshal Ali Hague, has led the army to Shandong, these places are not controlled by the Mongolian army for the time being, so that the running magnates can pass through the two Guangzhou, into Sichuan.
But the queen mother and the emperor are different, they rely on the Wei State Duke Jia Yidao, led a large army to conquer, but led to the annihilation of nearly 150,000 troops, at this time, they just wanted to go to Sichuan or Kaifeng, and there was no chance.
At the end of May, Jia Rudao, the Duke of Wei, who could not stand it, returned to the capital.
Jia Rudao's return to the capital immediately aroused the anger of the court.
In the face of the invasion of the Mongol army, all the decisions made by Jia Rudao accelerated the demise of the imperial army.
The power game between Jia Rudao and the two Huai system envoys Lu Wende directly led to the contradiction between Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan who defected to the Dayuan court, and Jia Rudao commanded the envoy Xia Gui to the guards and infantry divisions, which led to Xia Gui's direct submission to the Dayuan court, and then Jia Rudao led the army to meet the Mongol army, and pushed Fan Wenhu in front, and he was stationed in Lu Gang.
What made everyone even more unacceptable was that before the Mongol army arrived at Lugang, Jia Rudao chose to evacuate first, causing the army to be leaderless and fall into a situation of rout and rout.
Jia Rudao, who returned to the capital, also lost his usual prestige and hid in the mansion, not showing his head at all.
However, Jia Rudao still wrote a memora to Empress Dowager Xie, explaining the reason for the failure of the battle of Dingjiazhou, pushing Fan Wenhu to the front, and refusing to take any responsibility.
At the beginning of the battle of Dingjiazhou, Jia Rudao understood that the big thing was not good, in fact, he wanted to go to Kaifeng Mansion, but the roads were occupied by the Mongolian army, and Jia Rudao had no way to go to Kaifeng Mansion at all, so he was forced to return to the capital.
Hou Yuan, which is considered to be the most luxurious and powerful mansion in the capital, has lost its former prosperity and has become lonely, and most of the many staff members around Jia Rudao have also secretly left.
The trees fell and scattered, and Jia Yidao knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
There is one thing that Jia Rudao did not do, that is, the transfer of family matters, after all, he is the prime minister of the court, and he is the emperor of Wei Guogong, if he transfers his family at a critical moment, the goal is too big, I am afraid that it will also cause the suspicion of the queen mother and the emperor, after returning to the capital this time, Jia Rudao also wanted to be able to transfer his family, but he found that he could not do it anymore, and there was no one around him who could use it.
There are still two staff members left in the mansion, these two staff members are older, they were not noticed by Jia Yidao before, and they didn't think of the critical moment, so they still stayed.
Jia Rudao is not a heinous person, and the family has a lot of money, he has analyzed the current situation clearly, whether he will be punished by the imperial court, this is an uncertain thing, the two staff continue to stay by his side, there is no longer much effect, the most important thing at present, one is to seek the continued support of the Empress Dowager Xie and the emperor, and the other is to arrange the future life of the two staff.
In the study, Jia Rudao and two staff members were inside, and the housekeeper outside the study was waiting, and no one was allowed to enter.
“。。。 I didn't pay enough attention to you before, but now I understand your sincerity, I really have no eyes, the situation has reached this point, you continue to stay by my side, it doesn't make much difference, I instructed the housekeeper to prepare a thousand taels of gold for each of you, enough for you and your family to live in the future... ”
Jia Rudao's emotion was telling the truth, without any concealment.
The two staff members didn't expect that they would receive such a rich reward if they persevered until the end.
One of them spoke.
"Thanks to Wei Guogong's reward, his subordinates think that Wei Guogong should not be discouraged, even if the Mongolian army comes, it is still possible to move the capital, Wei Guogong proposed to move the capital to Fuzhou, this is feasible, the emperor can give the king of Wei an edict, asking the king of Wei Qin, the subordinates think that the king of Wei can not ignore it...
Speaking of which, the voice of the people's staff was a little quieter, and it was impossible for Wu Shaogang to go to Lin'an Mansion City to come to King Qin, not to mention whether Wu Shaogang was willing, even if he was willing, when the army stationed in Sichuan and Kaifeng arrived, I am afraid that Lin'an Mansion City would have been taken by the Mongolian army long ago.
There was a choice to move the capital, temporarily go to Fuzhou for refuge, and wait for Wu Shaogang to lead the army to come.
When the other staff member was about to speak, Jia Rudao waved his hand.
Jia Rudao was a little disappointed, at this moment he was not thinking about King Qin and guarding the capital at all, if the emperor and the queen mother of the early dynasty tomorrow did not protect him, then everything he thought about later would be meaningless.
This kind of thing, Jia seems to be difficult to say clearly, I thought that the two staff members could understand, but who knew that the result would be like this.
If the fourth master was still around, this would definitely not be the case.
Jia Rudao already had a guess in his heart, that is, the fourth master has always been Wu Shaogang's person, but such a guess has not made much sense now, anyway, after the fourth master went to Sichuan, there was no news, and there was not a word.
Finally, Jia Rudao, who couldn't help it, sighed and spoke.
"Tomorrow morning, presumably the adults in the court will hold the people responsible for the battle of Dingjiazhou, this matter is the most critical, as for the matter of moving the capital, it will not be considered for the time being."
It was only then that the two staff members understood the meaning.
Jia Nidao gave them 1,000 taels of gold each, in fact, they didn't have confidence in tomorrow's early dynasty, thinking that they would encounter punishment, if that was the case, any suggestions the two gave to Jia Nidao would be meaningless.
The staff member who spoke first thought for a moment before speaking again.
"The subordinates think that Wei Guogong doesn't need to worry too much, there should be nothing to do tomorrow morning."
Jia Yidao looked at this staff member, and his expression became slightly focused.
"Wei Guogong has returned to the capital for a while, if the emperor pursues, the will has already come down, and now there is no will, it means that the emperor did not pursue Wei Guogong's intentions, in this case, tomorrow morning, Wei Guogong first proposed the matter of moving the capital, and then proposed the matter of King Qin, as long as the emperor agreed, what other opinions can others put forward...
Another staff member nodded his head as well.
Jia Rudao thought for a moment, but still shook his head slightly, he knew that with the wisdom of these two staff, it was impossible to have any good suggestions, and it was not easy to say this.
There are also things that Jia Rudao didn't expect, he has always been divided into three, six, nine and so on, these two staff, although they do things in his mansion, they are not trusted, have no right to speak, and have no power, so naturally there are no officials to tie up, just live on the money, and they are shy in their pockets, even if they want to leave, they can't take out so much silver.
This time, the two staff members did not leave, because of the blessing in disguise, they got a thousand taels of gold, which is enough for the future life, and what people think of is how to leave the capital as soon as possible, and at the same time be able to keep the wealth of this thousand taels of gold.
As for those things in the DPRK and China, they have little to do with the two staffs.
There was silence in the study, and Jia Rudao waved his hand and motioned for the two staff members to leave.
The two staff members stood up and saluted Jia Rudao.
Walking out of the study, the butler, who had been waiting outside for a long time, led the two to the outside of the warehouse.
A thousand taels of gold can't be taken away by the strength of two people, at least it needs cover.
When the butler walked out of the storeroom, four men came out carrying two wooden boxes.
The wooden box was then delivered to the residence of the two staff members.
Couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and the two staff members began to count separately.
To their surprise, there were only five hundred taels of gold in the wooden box.
The two staff members rushed out almost immediately, and saw the butler standing outside with a sneer on his face.
One thousand taels of gold per person and a total of one thousand taels of gold, the two staff members believed that they had heard it correctly, that is, the housekeeper made trouble from it, and the two staff members still had a lot of gratitude to Jia Yidao, but at this time, nothing existed.
Quickly packed up their things, the two staff members picked up the wooden box and left the mansion.
They didn't want to stay for a moment.
