Chapter 100: The Dead Song

This fire was not set by the Liangshan army.

Before entering the city, Ximen Qing had a strict order not to kill innocents, not to set fire to looting, and the whole family of violators was beheaded!

Ximenqing wants to help the historical and cultural city of Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo retain a little more vitality. It's a pity that his hard work has been treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by some locals in Tokyo.

There is never a shortage of ruffians on shijie, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was called a loafer pounder. These people are entrenched in the dark corners of the city of Tokyo, they are lazy and lazy on weekdays, they only rely on stealing chickens and dogs, and when they have the opportunity, they go to the homes of the rich and noble to help the idle. Gao Yu, who has been executed by Liang Shan, is an outstanding and great representative of this gang of people - referred to as ** representative.

Liangshan besieged the city, and the city carried out a lot of intra-town sports, these people relied on the familiarity of the ground, and shouted and cheered behind Xu Shi's back, and they made a lot of efforts and reaped a lot of benefits. Today, the city is broken, they have changed, and they want to cling to the Liangshan army to raise their own value and seek wealth for the rest of their lives - the shouts of "Liangshan Heavenly Soldiers have entered the city" are the ones who shout the hardest.

These people hid from the officers and soldiers, and scurried in the shadows of the city of Tokyo, gradually gathering more and more, and as soon as there were many people, the thieves became bold, and they became thieves and bandits.

So these people pretended to be tigers and shouted: "I am Liangshan, I should be also!" Which one doesn't want to die, dare to step forward and die? When Song Bing heard it, most of them fled when they heard the wind, and even if there were those who didn't escape, they didn't dare to take the initiative to come forward and provoke them in the thick fog and dark night. Everyone confronted each other for a while, and the avenue was facing the sky, and each went to one side - this coming and going only increased the courage of these people to commit murder and chaos.

Finally, these people's greedy eyes locked on the closed doors of the rich.

The real wealthy families, they don't dare to provoke - those people often have bodyguards in the courtyards of their houses, unless it is a truly violent army like Liang Shanjun, ordinary people want to get rich, but they are afraid that they will lose their lives first.

So these people want to make up their minds are all middle-class families, small households, and their appetite is not big, as long as they are small and rich.

So the gang went up and kicked the door, shouting: "Liangshan is tracking down the spies, open the door quickly, delay for a moment, and your whole family will die!" ”

There was the one who couldn't bear to bluff, and as soon as the door opened, the money to buy peace was robbed before it could be stuffed over. Then a gang of loafers swarmed in, plundering in all directions, and whoever dared to stop the lord would stab him with a knife - anyway, there are dead people in the city now, and there is no fight for one more of you!

After looting, killing, raping, and all the bad things have been done, these unfinished Liangshan should pack up the spoils of war and begin to replace the next one. But before leaving, of course, do not forget to light a fire and annihilate all the evidence of the crime.

There are many such insects in the city of Tokyo, so the fire is everywhere, and the city of Tokyo is in chaos.

Ximenqing looked at the fireworks in the city and knew that the situation was starting to get out of control, but he had already prepared, so he ordered the military law team to start patrolling the city.

In their hearts, Tokyo City belongs to the Zhao Dynasty, and they helped Ximen Qing fight the Zhao Dynasty, so they are meritorious ministers, and it is natural to be bold enough to grab the things of the Zhao Dynasty, because this is what they have worked hard to get back, even if the lawsuit goes to Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing has to help them!

This view has bewitched many people, and in the face of huge interests, people who should have been fighting fires have become people who take advantage of the fire to rob. These people are not comparable to the snakes of the city, they know where the fat sheep are, they avoid the soldiers when they see them, they kick them when they see them, they rob people when they see them, like locusts crossing the border, they take everything and take whatever they want, although they have the intention to plunder and have no intention of hurting people, but occasionally they have to maim people's lives.

Seeing these people carrying their hands on their shoulders and gaining a lot, the people who originally insisted on fighting the fire couldn't help but be moved, and more and more people joined in the ranks of looting, and the people in the city began to flee in a miserable howl.

Several gates of Xicheng Liangshan were not touched, and the fleeing soldiers and civilians began to assemble in the direction of Xicheng, huddled in a heap, and the wails shook the sky.

Bao Xu, the god of mourning, quickly reported all this to Ximenqing. Ximenqing's face was extremely ugly, he immediately ordered Xiang Chong and Li Gon to lead the players of the headquarters to reinforce the military law team, seeing that the raiders were not divided into old and young men and women, all of them were killed, and the victims were willing to help the fighters to accompany them with weapons, although the killing was not guilty.

Bao Xu hesitated: "Those people came to help, if they kill indiscriminately, they are afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people." ”

Ximen Qing said: "The killer loses the heart of the people who are fighting the war; If you don't kill, you will lose the hearts of the people in the city. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, you must decide by the word 'law'! Taking advantage of the fire is illegal! If you indulge in a moment and develop habits today, you will eventually be poisoned and suffer from them in the futureβ€”I have made up my mind to slaughter all those who take millet from the fire! ”

Bao Xu, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon all bowed down to receive the order, and then patrolled all over the city, and those who took advantage of the fire to cause chaos were captured and beheaded in public, and the dead bodies were all smashed into the fire, and then the head was poked with a sharpened bamboo pole, and they marched in line, thinking that they were a guard of honor in military law. Because of the heavy fog in the middle of the night, the vision is not good, although there is a strict punishment and strict law, it is difficult to show its effect, after the fog clears, the thieves began to guard against fear, so they wanted to disperse in a hurry. Ximen Qing ordered the evil to be eliminated, and the soldiers and civilians searched everywhere and cut down, and more than 1,000 heads of men, women, old and children were obtained, all of which were erected outside the door of the burned people in the city, and they were all precepted by the fire robbers. Although it has been dried, there are still those who cry and scold and spit under it. Since then, in the area of Henan, the people's hearts have been purged, the government decree has been implemented, and the people dare not offend their fronts. So he was discouraged, his heart went to sleep, and he returned to being a good citizen.

In this life, Ximenqing's reputation is mixed. Ximen Qing said indifferently: "Don't do things if you are a man, and don't be a man when you do things." The way of killing, just to purify and evolve, I respectfully do it, this heart is worthy of the sky, worthy of the ground, so enough! What do I have to do with a false name behind me? So he let others comment and slander, but he didn't ask.

At dawn on the second day, the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the city of Tokyo finally settled down after the fierce battle. The generals of the four unified armies all came to report their merits, but only Ximen Guansheng and Hu Yanzhuo came to ask for guilt. It turned out that the chaotic people in the city took advantage of the fire to rob, and the people became frightened birds, and half of the city escaped from the west gate, mixed with the defeated Song army, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo Although they set up a heavy ambush with Yi Lao, they could only stare at the position of the military and civilian family, and Zuihou opened up a side of things.

Therefore, the forbidden army in Tokyo City lost one point, surrendered three points, and ran away four points, so Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo both came to ask for guilt: "The enemy has not been destroyed, and the marshal has high hopes, and please punish him!" ”

Ximen Qing helped the two of them up and said with a smile: "It is better to lose merit than to lose the people, this is what the Liangshan army should do!" The two generals are not guilty! ”

Guan Sheng said: "If this wind is long, when the enemy army is defeated and retreats in the future, they will all take the people as shields, so what can I do?" ”

Ximen Qingzheng said: "I have no intention of carrying it, although I am defeated, I will not attack; If you have a heart, you will kill him, and he will not be surrendered by one of them! Even if my wife and children are hostages, this is also the case! When the generals heard this, they were all shocked.

The Song soldiers and horses in Tokyo City, Issei died, three points fell, four points ran, where are the remaining two points? Defend the new emperor in the Imperial Palace.

The emperor and the civil and military officials only cared about the Zen position, and when they finished all the frugal ceremonies, they found that the sky had dawned, and the West City Gate, which could have fished in troubled waters, had been deserted and was under martial law by Liangshan, and a palace was besieged by Liangshan several times, and Ximenqing's people and horses could enter at any time.

Although there are still 20% of the military strength around them, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are wise now, and they don't have any hope for these people, because if these people were in charge, they should have blocked Ximenqing out of Tokyo a long time ago, how could they let them enter the city?

Ximen Qing sent people to the palace gate to shout, ordering the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers to surrender.

The newly ascended Song Qinzong sent a peace envoy to meet Ximen Qing to discuss three things: first, begging not to destroy the Zhao Mausoleum; 2. Beg for the death of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers; 3. Beggarly respect Ximen Qing as the emperor's uncle; Fourth, the five-day class teacher of Qiliangshan - of course, these are all at a price, the Song Dynasty is willing to give 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 25 million horses of silk, buy Liangshan people and horses to withdraw from Tokyo, from then on the two families reconciled, the world is a friend.

Ximenqing pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed, splashed ink at the moment, and also wrote a reply, a few words - "As long as the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty lay down their arms and surrender, Ximenqing promised on behalf of Liangshan: 1. Swear not to destroy the Zhao Mausoleum; 2. Except for Song Chen, all the sins of Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin will be pardoned and not asked; 3. Liangshan will never occupy the Song capital, and after receiving war compensation, he will definitely withdraw his troops and never delay his time. ”

Qin Zong saw Ximen Qing's reply and was overjoyed: "My country can be complete!" So the gold, silver and satin of the palace treasury were all sent to the Liangshan army, and Ximen Qing also reciprocated with jade silk, wine and rice.

Seeing that there was a return gift, Qinzong decided that Ximen Qing had no other intentions, so he sighed: "I have no choice but to succumb to the thief today!" When this lying salary tastes the guts, the secretaries are angry and do things, but it is not beautiful! Hou Meng cried loudly, Cai You, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian, Wang Hao, etc. all made promises.

So the palace gate was opened, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty formally surrendered to Ximenqing, and the forbidden troops in the palace all abandoned their troops and tied their hands, and went out of the city to enter the temporary prisoner of war camp to accept the jurisdiction.

Ximen Qing cordially received the surrendered Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, walked arm in arm with Qinzong, and said warmly: "Why don't you see your father? ”

Qin Zong hurriedly said: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your concern-my father is suffering from scabies, so he didn't dare to come to Jin rashly." ”

Ximen Qing sympathized: "I see, Wuliang Mountain has a divine doctor An Daoquan, there is medicine to eliminate the disease, respect the father's disease, will be able to take a dose of Huo Ran." ”

As soon as Qin Zong finished thanking him, he saw Ximenqing suddenly turn his face: "Someone! Take down all the ministers of the Song Dynasty for me! "This is exactly what it is:

only said that the enemy was at peace, and he saw that it was in danger to turn his face. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
