Chapter 157: Mission
The common people are not stupid, although they have been under the control of the Jin State for a hundred years, and they already think that the Jurchens should be their masters as a matter of course, but now they also see that the Jurchen masters are no longer reliable, and the Jin Kingdom will not be able to jump for a few days, but the Southern Song Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and everyone in the city has heard the news of the defeat of the Song army against the Mongol army, and there is a small abacus in people's hearts, so that the common people will not be really loyal to whom, who can let them live a stable life, who is the sky, Jin Guo can't do it, so let the Southern Song Dynasty come. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as long as the Southern Song Dynasty can protect their safety and prevent the Mongol Tatars from harming them, it is not much of a problem for them to belong to the Southern Song Dynasty, after all, everyone is Han, no matter how bad the Song army is, can it still slaughter the city at every turn like the Mongol army? So as soon as I heard that Wang Dezhao wanted to surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty in Qingyang Mansion, the chaos in the city immediately weakened a lot, and many people pondered for a while, so they went home with their own cover rolls, waiting for the Song army to enter the city to take over Qingyang Mansion.
Although some Jurchen nobles in the city did not agree, but they were weak at the moment, and after making a fuss, they were quickly suppressed by Wang Dezhao, and they also killed the entire family of two large Jurchen families, and their heads hung above the city tower, which suppressed the opposition in the city...
After Gao Huaiyuan read Wang Dezhao's letter, he rewarded Wang Dezhao, a domestic slave, with a few taels of silver, and told him: "Go back and tell your master, just say that tomorrow I will lead the army to take over Qingyang Mansion and let him go out of the city to greet him!" In addition, tell him that he can rest assured that the conditions promised to him before by the official will be fulfilled! ”
Early the next morning, Gao Huaiyuan led the army to enter the outside of Qingyang City, Wang Dezhao led the middle of the city to change into the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty that had been prepared for a long time, and went out of the city to greet each other, Wang Dezhao knelt on the ground, and presented the big seal of the head of Qingyang Mansion to Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan naturally did not accept it, and dismounted and picked up Wang Dezhao and said reluctantly: "Lord Wang has worked hard!" This official came late to frighten everyone! But fortunately, the Mongolian Tatars have been defeated by us, so you don't have to worry about the Mongolian Tatars attacking the territory again in the future! ”
Wang Dezhao and other former ministers of the Jin State hurriedly didn't dare to say anything, and presented the roster that had been prepared long ago and the account books of the treasury to Gao Huaiyuan. Something like this, Gao Huaiyuan naturally wants to accept it, these things are all related to military resources, and they can't be left in the hands of old ministers of the Jin State like Wang Dezhao, these people are spineless guys, and they are not trustworthy...
So far, after the surrender of King Dezhao of Qingyang Mansion, the entire territory of Fengxiang Road was basically returned to the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, and only a small part of the land was still under the control of the Jin people.
Gao Huaiyuan personally sat in Qingyang Mansion, except for leaving Zhou Hao to lead 3,000 people to guard Qingyang Mansion, the rest of Li Ruohu, Jiang Hai, Fei Wenlong, Huang Yan and others were scattered, and each led an army to start sweeping the counties and townships that had not yet surrendered on Fengxiang Road, and soon Yue Kun sent someone to send news to inform Gao Huaiyuan that Yuanzhou had been conquered by him.
After having such a thing as artillery, siege warfare became much simpler, Yue Kun loved this kind of artillery to death, when attacking the city with this kind of artillery, when the opponent did not understand the sharpness of the artillery, the mode of siege warfare also changed dramatically. Because this area is relatively short of water, so many cities basically do not have moat protection, in this way, it is much easier to deal with, although the current artillery power is still very limited, far from enough to collapse the city wall, but to deal with the wooden gate covered with iron sheets, it is very easy to use, after the cannon is erected, after the concentrated fire is aimed at the city gate after a fierce bombardment, the flying iron bullet will quickly hit the city gate to a thousand holes, send people to rush up with a crash car, the gate will immediately collapse, the rest is to send troops into the city for street fighting, And the Song army over the years, street fighting is also their key training subjects, once the city gate is broken, the defenders' military spirit will immediately collapse, after the Song army then attacked the city and slashed, the defenders often collapsed quickly, either fleeing, or simply kneeling down and surrendering...
The large-scale use of artillery solved many problems that were not easy to solve in the past for the Song army, and also greatly advanced the course of the war.
After Gao Huaiyuan marched to Fengxiang Road, it didn't take long for his generals to capture dozens of county towns in succession, completely purging the Jin forces in Fengxiang Road.
And there is suffering on the Jin side, and the Mongols still have two armies that continue to storm their Tongguan and Yellow River defense lines, so that they can't draw more troops into Fengxiang Road to deal with the Song army, so that Gao Huaiyuan easily took the whole Fengxiang Road, and also captured a considerable piece of deer (deer plus an ear, the computer can't type!). Yanlu's territory can be regarded as a temporary stop to continue the attack on the Jin State. And Lintao Road was also completely cut out of the jurisdiction of the Jin State, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly ordered the army to stop continuing to attack the Jin State, and sent an envoy to Bianliang City, the capital of the Jin State, on his behalf, to negotiate with the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu.
Gao Huaiyuan led the army to be stationed on Fengxiang Road, and began to rectify local affairs, while sweeping away the resistance forces of the Jin State in the areas that had been controlled, while posting notices everywhere to calm the people, and also opening warehouses and giving relief to the poor people in the jurisdiction, and wantonly confiscating the property and fields of the original Jin nobles and rich people, using them as military fields, and recruiting soldiers to carry out the tuntian.
As for the old officials of the Jin State who surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty in the newly occupied territories, according to their agreement, those who should stay in office should be retained, those who should be transferred should be transferred, and those who should move south should be moved south, and all the old officials of the Jin State who surrendered to the Song army were required to move their families to the Song realm to settle down, to put it bluntly, they left their families as hostages...
Although many people are reluctant to move their families to Sichuan for resettlement, but at the moment they have no choice, and Gao Huaiyuan is still very polite to them, at least their property has been left to them, after the Song army took over their territory, they also protected their property and family members very well, which made them have nothing to say, let alone dare to disobey Gao Huaiyuan's order, so they had to send people to Sichuan to choose a place to buy real estate, and then move their families to Sichuan, in this way, Gao Huaiyuan doesn't have to worry about these people backing up in the future...
Because the Song army was strictly disciplined, in addition to the targeted seizure of some of the Jin magnates' family property, for the ordinary people and even ordinary rich landlords, basically did not commit any crimes in the autumn, plus after the Song army took over these places, it also took out a lot of money and grain from the treasury to amplify the local poor who could not afford to eat, so all kinds of measures quickly bought the hearts of the people in these places, and the common people were rarely afraid of the Song army anymore, and even the common people who were still in the territory of the Jin State fled into the control area of the Song army in large numbers.
Although Gao Huaiyuan retained a large number of Jin officials such as Yang Lianxing and Wang Dezhao, he only let them be responsible for the disposal of some civil affairs, and they were not allowed to interfere in military affairs. Don't dare to have the slightest bit of greed for ink...
And the monk Wanyan Chen, who returned to Tongguan, also defeated the Mongolian army because of the lone army, won more with less, and became famous in a battle, and was awarded the official position of general Dingyuan, and the post of general judge of Fenzhou, but he was not happy at all, because he still heard the news of Wang Dezhao's surrender to the Song Dynasty, he was stunned for a long time, and finally drew his knife and cut the table in front of him into two sections, and scolded: "Bastard thing, how can you be so shameless...... and then he was completely speechless...
Yilabha, the deputy privy envoy of the Jin State guarding Lintao Road, although he knew that the Song army had attacked Fengxiang Road, he also personally led the army to counterattack, and fought a few battles with Yue Kun's soldiers and horses, but the result was very bad. Every day, he urged the soldiers and civilians in the city to strengthen the city of Lintao Mansion, dug a lot of trenches outside the city to prevent the enemy from attacking, and made a posture of defending Lintao Mansion for the rest of his life.
Wanyan Shouxu was completely stunned during this time, on the one hand, the Mongolian army kept storming Tongguan and the Yellow River, wanting to cross the Yellow River and destroy his Dajin Kingdom, he couldn't solve this trouble, and the Song army in the west went out of Sichuan to occupy Fengxiang Road, he thought of these things and felt that his head was as big as a fight, but he still had to be the emperor.
From the day he came to power, his father Jin Xuanzong tossed a super mess left to him, he has been working hard, wanting to revive the prestige of the country, he tried his best to tie up the Southern Song Dynasty, exempted the previous year, and wanted to concentrate on beating the Mongols back, but after all, the Jin State has been completely eroded to the home, the ability to minister is limited, the troops are insufficient, the grain and grass are insufficient, the money is insufficient, and the local forces are separated, the situation of the Jin State has not improved significantly under his efforts, but it is becoming more and more unsuccessful.
Wanyan Shouxu has been on the throne for nine years, and his hair is almost white, but he has not rectified the Jin country into a decent appearance, but the situation is becoming more and more erosive.
Just when he couldn't do anything about the matter in front of him, on the morning of August 14 in the seventh year of Jin Zhengda, he suddenly heard that Gao Huaiyuan, the privy envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty and the left minister of the imperial court, suddenly stopped continuing to attack the Jin State, and instead sent an envoy, claiming to negotiate with the Jin State.
