528. Don't eat "Zhou" millet
"Is the Golden Man really here?" Li Ruoshui jumped up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He didn't know whether to be happy or worried, he wished that Zhou Quan would encounter some problems, but he didn't want the Jin invasion to hurt Bianjing City.
"It's true, the students just saw that martial law had been imposed on the streets, and the brigade drove to the north of the city." The panting student said: "The student was almost arrested as a spy, but fortunately, he was close to the Guozi Prison, so they brought the student here and asked a few words before letting him go." ”
This is also one of the nine resolutions of the court, because there are Jin people who have infiltrated the city, so martial law is imposed, and those who do not have a guide are not allowed to walk on the main street.
This trick really worked, caught dozens of city fox society rats, originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make some extra money, and also caught more than a dozen unresponsive Manichaeans, and the confessions obtained from these followers are enough to prove that the Jin people and Manichaeism are colluding together.
Li Ruoshui stayed in the Guozi Prison for a while, but after all, he was not at ease, so he led the Tai students, saying that he wanted to go to the city to contribute to the city defense, applied for a road guide, and then rushed to the north of the city.
When he arrived, there had just been a fierce battle in front of the gate of the northern city, and the Jin people had retreated, while the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were methodically strengthening the city defenses, withdrawing the wounded, and removing the remains. Judging from the bloodstains and casualties, the battle was definitely not easy, but to Li Ruoshui's surprise, the soldiers and civilians in the city did not face the tension of facing a strong enemy, but only excitement and joy.
"It's ...... What's going on? Li Ruoshui was surprised, he stopped a person and asked.
When the people saw his official robe, they still had some respect, and after saluting, they said: "The lord doesn't know, just now the golden thief attacked the city, but was blocked by the city wall, he also wanted to bombard with artillery, but was counterattacked by the city's artillery, the Jin people did not give up, but they were killed by Zhou Gongqin with men and horses, not only drove down the city, but even chased the defeated soldiers for two miles, killing the Jin people!" ”
What the people said was just a very simple passage, but Li Ruoshui could hear a thrilling feeling from it!
It's only been a long time, but it's dawn to ...... At noon, only about three hours later, a big battle had already taken place, and the Jin people were completely defeated!
Li Ruoshui asked some more details, and the people who were stopped were at the head of the city at that time, so he talked about how Zhou Quan took two hundred guards to slaughter all the Jin people who climbed to the top of the city with an unstoppable momentum, and then led the elite out of the city to pursue. Speaking of which, except for the weapon called "musket" used in the slaughter of the Jin people at the head of the city, the artillery used was all ready-made in Bianjing City.
Li Ruoshui didn't believe that with only 200 muskets, he could break the army of more than 100,000 Jinren, so Zhou Quan's victory relied on the manpower in the capital, not on new weapons.
Thinking that this manpower was a losing streak in the hands of Zhao Huan, but it was completely different in the hands of Zhou Quan in just a few hours, Li Ruoshui couldn't help but hang his head.
At the same time, he also secretly doubted in his heart, with such a stark contrast, would the people in the capital still support the Zhao family?
When Li Ruoshui was saddened by this, he suddenly heard earth-shattering cheers from the city wall, he thought it was the Jin people who fought back, and hurriedly grabbed the battlements and looked out, but saw a group of Song troops, numbering about 2,000 people, all riding horses, and some people were also holding a few horses, singing the triumphant song of the Song army, coming towards the capital.
In this group of Song troops, the most striking thing was nearly 200 people dressed in cloth uniforms and cuirass, who carried short spear-like weapons on their backs, all of them were full of energy, and they looked extremely elite.
Among the two hundred people, Zhou Quan was the most prominent one, he was riding a white horse, also wearing a cuirass, with a smile on his face, talking and laughing with several subordinates around him, as if he had just gone not to a pursuit, but an outing.
Zhou Quan is indeed very relaxed.
Although it is an all-out attack, in fact, the Jin people's fighting will is no longer resolute. After all, there was the loss of Yanjing first, and the defeat of Xiangzhou, even Ah Guda and Wu Qimai became prisoners, there was no chance of victory, and there was no way to retreat.
After finding that the defenders of the city were very determined and dealt with extremely well, he did not hesitate to abandon the vanguard that he used as cannon fodder, and transferred with the main force to join the vultures.
If Taiyuan is not lost, Zhou Quan is sure that he will leave him in the Central Plains and send him to reunite with his father and uncle, but Wushu went south to open up the retreat that cannot be separated, and Zhou Quan can mobilize limited troops, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are immovable, and the only one who can move is Ye Chubu outside Yuguan.
It's just that Ye Chubu is sweeping Liaodong, and far water can't quench his thirst, so Zhou Quan can only watch and can't leave.
In fact, judging from the results of the entire war, this has been extremely beneficial to Zhou Quan: the Great Song Dynasty was weakened, the imperial power was completely weakened, and the people's hearts were scattered; The East China Sea system has acquired a large amount of territory and population, and its own strength has not been greatly damaged, and its prestige has greatly increased and won the hearts of the people. The vitality of the Jin people was greatly damaged, even if Wushu and Jie did not escape from the Central Plains, they would not be able to return to their hometown in Liaodong, and in a short time, they had to find a place for themselves to live and live.
But there are also things that Zhou Quan didn't expect, such as the collusion between Zhong Xiang, Fang La and the Jin people, such as the comeback of the Western Thief, but these accidents can't change the general trend, when Zhou Quan pockets the eastern coastal area, the next thing is only a matter of time.
Zhou Quan also heard the cheers of the city, he raised his eyes and looked at the city, Li Ruoshui stared at him, but he didn't notice this one among the thousands of people in the city.
Then he did something that surprised Li Ruoshui very much.
He jumped off his horse, took off his helmet, and bowed slightly to the city, as if to salute the people.
Since ancient times, only the people have given salutes to the powerful, but now this one who has the most powerful power in the world is saluting the people, the army and the people at the head of the city!
And after he got a big win!
"Don't be arrogant or arrogant, be really the master!"
After these words sounded, Li Ruoshui was terrified, because it was not someone else who said this, but himself!
He is like this, not to mention the people and soldiers in the city who originally admired Zhou Quan, and all of a sudden, the cry of "Long live" resounded in the sky, shaking away the haze that has plagued the Beijing Division these days!
Zhou Quan did not put on a hat, but led the horse on foot and walked into the north gate of the capital. The guards around him also dismounted, and like him, they led the horses through the door hole on foot, but among the forbidden troops who went out with Zhou Quan, there were quite a few people who did not know what was going on, and they were proud of themselves on the horse.
When Li Ruoshui saw this situation, his heart was even more discouraged.
He turned around and wanted to summon those Tai students to leave together, but found that the Tai students around him were infected by the atmosphere of the city, and they were also cheering Long live, and even a few people who reprimanded Zhou Quan as a traitor with him last night also joined in at this time!
Li Ruoshui went over to grab them, but he stopped after taking a few steps, because he saw that Zhou Quan had also gone up to the city.
Zhou Quan not only went to the top of the city, he also climbed directly onto a battlement, regardless of the danger, gestured to the surroundings, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The cries of "long live" around them stopped, and everyone held their breath and waited for Zhou Quan to speak.
"Today's pursuit, because there are many gold thieves, so I don't dare to chase too far, only chase out ten miles, and capture 10,491 gold people, because the gold thieves plagued the people of Gyeonggi, I ordered no prisoners." Zhou Quan reported a number that surprised everyone.
Coupled with the Jin people who were killed at the head of the city, this time the loss of nearly 20,000 people was not lost, which can be described as a nerve-wracking. What surprised Li Ruoshui even more was that Zhou Quan said that it was so natural when he didn't leave prisoners, didn't he know that killing prisoners was ominous?
"Four thousand one hundred and sixty-six war horses were seized, all of which were brought back this time, as well as a number of large livestock, with a gold and silver baggage worth about 300,000 silver yuan, plus 60,000 taels of gold, 170,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 pieces of silk and silk presented to the people by Zhao Huan of the imperial court. In other words, Zhao Huanxian and Jin Ren have taken it back! ”
The soldiers and civilians in the city suddenly held their breath.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "I will send these belongings to the Kaifeng Mansion Treasury, and the Kaifeng Mansion will find out who the original owner is and return them all!" ”
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The people in the city immediately cheered again, this time even Zhou Quan couldn't hold them down.
Li Ruoshui is face was as pale as dirt.
The contrast is too stark, one is to loot the people to finance the enemy, and the other is to rob the enemy to return the people!
"In addition, the people of Gyeonggi have suffered a lot, so in addition to returning the seized property to the people of Gyeonggi, the rest will be used for the relief of the people in the two counties of Gyeonggi who have been hit by the war!" After the people's voices stopped for a while, Zhou Quan made another announcement.
"This benevolent government also! When Han Gaozu entered Xianyang, the three chapters of the agreement with the father of Guanzhong were nothing more than that! Hearing this, Li Ruoshui secretly commented in his heart, and then he was shocked, how could he compare Zhou Quan to Han Gaozu, doesn't this mean that in his heart, he actually regarded Zhao Huan as a faint monarch like Qin II Hu Hai?
And how can Zhou Quan be virtuous, how can he be compared with Han Gaozu?
"In today's battle, the soldiers and civilians in the city, everyone is brave, especially the brave men who follow me to chase the enemy, and they are even more desperate to do so, and they must not be praised -- the Donghai Chamber of Commerce will place those who died in this battle, whether they are military or civilian families, to one person, and to give their children under the age of 18 and their parents and ancestors over the age of 60 pensions; For the disabled, there is a disability allowance, which is paid monthly, and they can choose their ability to be placed in a position; For those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle, the Donghai Chamber of Commerce will award the Bianjing Medal of Valor, and then according to the merits, rewards will be issued; All those who participate in the battle will be awarded the Bianjing Guardian Medal, and there will also be rewards! ”
The specific amount of reward, Zhou Quan did not say, but he didn't need to say, his name is the signboard, and the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is the reputation, therefore, whenever he said it, a long live sounded around him, and when he heard that all the people who participated in the war, regardless of whether they had merit or not, had a Bianjing Guardian Medal, and the sound of long live around him was like a mountain roaring tsunami!
The entire Bianjing was immersed in the joy after the victory, but only a few people such as Li Ruoshui were lost and depressed. Li Ruoshui also wanted to recall those Tai students to the National Zi Prison, but when he looked over, the Tai students were already cheering with the people, and no one was by his side anymore.
That night, in a rare peaceful sleep for the people of Bianjing, Li Ruoshui committed suicide by hanging the beam, leaving only four words: Don't eat Zhou Su. (To be continued.) )
