Chapter 212: Dig three feet into the ground
Bianliang City is not far from Kaide, and the news of the successive routs of the three-way army was soon reported to the Chinese army tent of Yan Wushu.
Surprise, shock, panic, helplessness, etc., are not enough to fully depict the current feelings of the Wanyan family brothers.
Especially Wanyan Zeli and Wanyan Dahan, who had been imprisoned by Yue Fei in the Daimyo Mansion, the shadow in their hearts has not completely disappeared.
Seeing that the brothers were all focused on their bodies, Wanyan Wushu had to smile bitterly.
Wanyan Wushu is decisive in doing things, and will never use any "refueling tactics" to give his army to the enemy little by little; In fact, the 30,000 cavalry sent out is already the largest force that the Jin soldiers can mobilize at present.
The area of Bianliang City in Kaifeng Prefecture is too large, and the population of the Song people is too large, and there are no 60,000 or 70,000 horses left behind, so it is impossible to suppress the scene at all.
Therefore, as soon as the 30,000 cavalry were defeated, it was no longer difficult for the Jin soldiers to deploy men and horses to carry out active attacks on the outside world, and they could only defend passively.
In other words, being able to maintain the current state is already the most ideal situation for Jin Bing.
At this point, as the commander-in-chief, Wanyan Wushu knows the Dao, the military advisor Ha Mi Chi knows the Dao, and the hearts of the brothers such as Wanyan Sticky Han are also very clear.
The most important point is that Jin Bing no longer has much desire to fight, and his combat effectiveness has greatly declined; To borrow a phrase from later generations: When people's hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to lead.
As the military advisor Ha Miqi said, if the Jin soldiers want to keep the current battle results, the safest way is to retreat to the Jin country, and retreat as soon as possible. The sooner the better
The war has come to this point. There is no room for manoeuvre anymore.
They have already robbed the old Zhao family's gold and silver. The wife and concubine also slept, do you still want to be forgiven by the old Zhao family? Since it is impossible, then simply uproot the old Zhao family, and take as much as you can.
This is what the Wanyan Wushu brothers think.
So, on the 22nd day of the first month of the second year of Jingkang, the Jin and Song sides reached the first agreement after the siege of the Jin soldiers.
The agreement stipulated: (Jin State) allowed to exempt Daozong (Song Huizong) to the north, with the crown prince, King Kang, the prime minister and other six people as hostages, should pay tribute to the Song court utensils; The land south of the Yellow River and Bianjing. There are two emperors (princesses), four concubines and four clan concubines, 2,500 palace maids, 1,500 female musicians, and 3,000 people of various crafts, and 5 million horses of silver silk and two tributes of gold per year; Originally, there was one prince and one prime minister, and the blood of the vassals outside the river were sent at full speed, and they were returned after delivery; It was originally planned that 1 million ingots of gold and 5 million ingots of silver should be delivered within 10 days.
Jin Bing has seized all the warehouses in Bianliang City. Including the large and small warehouses in the palace and the various warehouses in Kaifeng Mansion; So, the Jin people are very clear. The conditions in this agreement, Zhao Song is simply unable to fulfill.
Therefore, the Jin people added an additional condition to the agreement: if the number is not enough, the emperor and the princess will be allowed to receive 1,000 gold ingots, Zongji will be allowed to receive 500 gold ingots, the clan concubine will be allowed to be 200 gold ingots, the clan woman will be allowed to be 500 silver ingots, the clan woman will be allowed to be 200 silver ingots, and the noble relatives will be allowed to choose 100 silver ingots.
The reason for this is to scrape as much as possible the wealth in Bianliang City.
There were too many Song people in Bianliang City, and the Jin soldiers didn't dare to rob them themselves, so they came to coerce the old Zhao family and let the old Zhao family's government go to loot the people for the Jin soldiers.
But there is no treasure left for gold or silver, so he makes up for it.
is accustomed to seeing those stupid sisters outside the gate, the women of the old Zhao family are tender and white, and they are definitely good goods; If you can't use it up yourself, it is also a huge amount of money to take it back and take it out
In order to meet the requirements of the Jin people, the officials of the old Zhao Song family and Kaifeng Mansion dug three feet into the ground in Bianliang City, not only took out all the gold and silver in the palace and the official mansion, but also ordered the officers and soldiers to rob the rich households of the people.
It is recorded in the "History of Jingkang Barnyard No. 4" that the officials of the four walls also declared that the gold and silver were exhausted, and they were allowed to listen to the prince's garrison to guard Suowai County.
Don't look at the officers and soldiers of the Zhao Song family who are silent when they face the Jin soldiers, when they face their own people, they immediately become powerful and murderous.
As a result, the people's homes in Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, turned over boxes and cabinets, and chickens and dogs walked away.
Pity those ordinary people, who were not looted by the soldiers of the Jin State, but were sacked by the officers and soldiers of the Zhao Song family.
It is recorded in "The History of Jingkang Barnyard No. 4": On March 13 of the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people supervised the gold and silver watch Duan Yijun, and the lawsuit urged him not to slack off. and scattered the list of alleys and alleys, and the single name of their household registration and the number of shares they shared, and they were divided into separate places to urge the superintendent, and they were as anxious as a spark.
Not only that, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, in addition to taking all the women of the court, the clan, and the ministers' families to the Jinying, also searched for the women of the people in the capital and even the palace maids who had already married.
These forcibly arrested women "were all unkempt, did not eat, and were ill, and coveted to be spared", and in order to invite merit, Yin Xu Bingzhe of Kaifeng Prefecture actually "bought his own hairpin shirts, crown inserts, and fresh clothes", and sent 5,000 women from the upper concubines, lower concubines, and lower households out of the capital in full costume and handed over to the Jin army.
The Jin army, which regarded itself as the victor, "selected 3,000 virgins from the 5,000 women selected and sent, and the rest entered the city."
Of course, the 2,000 Song women who were eliminated should have been taken away after being ruined by the Jin soldiers, and it was inconvenient to take them away due to weakness and other reasons
Sure enough, as expected by the Yan Wushu brothers, no matter how hard the old Zhao Song family and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion tried, they could not meet the requirements in the Jin Song agreement.
According to the conditions attached to the agreement, the two emperors, Huizong and Qinzong, together with their blood relatives and dependents, all became trophies of the Jin soldiers.
At noon on the seventh day of the first month of February, under the close supervision of the Jin army marshal Sticky Han and tens of thousands of cavalry, Song Huizong led his wife and concubines, sons-in-law, and female slaves and maids from the imperial city in an orderly manner. Below the harem, the horsemen galloped on their backs. β
During the handover process, Jin Bing also carried out a strict inspection of his luggage, and all gold, silver and jade silk were "not allowed to be brought to Nanxunmen for delivery". Subsequently, some women in the court and clan who were hiding in the people were also searched by the Jin soldiers one after another.
In the end, the Jin people selected eighty-three concubines, twenty-four princesses, and twenty-two emperors and princesses; These women were noble, and the money was doubled, with a total of 134,000 ingots of alloy.
There are also ninety-eight concubines, twenty-eight concubines, fifty-two concubines, seventy-eight royal maidens, and one hundred and ninety-five concubines; These women were the second, with a total of 225,500 ingots of alloy.
and there were 1,241 clan concubines, with a total of 248,200 ingots of alloy; There were 479 palace maids, 604 maidens, and 2,091 clan wives, which was equivalent to 1,587,000 ingots of silver; 2,007 women and 1,314 singers, equivalent to 664,200 ingots of silver; There were 3,319 nobles, officials and women, equivalent to 331,900 ingots of silver.
The above women folded a total of 67,000 ingots of alloy and 2,583,100 ingots of silver. Even so, in addition to the amount of gold and silver that had been paid, the Northern Song Dynasty government still owed the Jin people "342,780 ingots of gold and 871,300 ingots of silver."
At the end of March, the Jin army captured more than 6,000 people, including Hui, Emperor Qin and his concubines, princes, clansmen, and nobles, and retreated north. The royal seals, costumes, ritual objects, and armillary spheres of the Song Dynasty were also collected and returned. The Northern Song Dynasty perished from then on, which is the so-called "Jingkang's difficulty", also known as "Jingkang's shame".
There is the following record in the "History of Jingkang Barnyard No. 6":
β²At dawn on March 29 of the second year of Jingkang, Taishang Qiji, a total of more than 860 taels, sent from Liujia Temple. Overnight in the boundary of the sealed hills, below the Taishang and the chieftain tent two, the cloth shed forty-eight for a surround; Zheng Hou and the chief Xiao Qing tent three, cloth shed eighty-eight for a surround, all have a hall to accompany the day and night. The emperor and the chieftain are separated from the tent five, and the cloth shed is twelve for a circle.
β³ Song History Volume 23 Qin Zong Ji: March of the second year of Jingkang, "Ding Si, Jin people coerce the emperor to the north." It is the 27th day of the month.
Words in the urn: In March of the second year of Jingkang, "on the 27th, Emperor Taishang and his subordinates went north." (To be continued......)
