Season 2 Chapter 158 - The Hate of the Dead Country (Part II)
When will the courtiers perish?
Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain!
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
After hearing the news of Jin Bing's retirement, Song Huizong quickly returned to Kaifeng, after all, the taste of wandering outside is not pleasant. But I was afraid of the golden soldiers on the road, and at this time, I happened to meet the ark.
Fang Zhou learned that this matter was not trivial, and after consulting with his wife, he decided to escort Song Huizong back to Kaifeng. After all, this kind of thing is rare once in a thousand years, and it is a pity that I occasionally go out for a walk, so it is a pity not to take this opportunity to see the world?
As soon as he arrived in Kaifeng, Song Huizong really kept his promise and sealed Fangzhou as the general who protected the country and protected himself all day long.
When Qinzong learned about this, he was greatly annoyed, how could there be two monarchs in one country! At Li Gang's suggestion, he agreed to incorporate the ark under his command and listen to his command.
"Third brother?!"
"Second brother!?"
In the war-torn years, the reunion of the two brothers in a foreign country was really a great joy! The two talked with candles until late at night.
Who knows, Qinzong did something ridiculous. On the one hand, he appointed Li Gang as the envoy of the pro-expedition camp to be in charge of defense, but on the other hand, he sent Zheng Wangzhi and others to Jinying to sue for peace.
On the night of the eighth day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, when Li Gang led the army and the people to resist the Jin soldiers' siege, Zheng Wangzhi and others went down to the city to negotiate peace with the Jin envoy Wu Xiaomin.
Qinzong expressed to the Jin envoy that he was willing to send the prince or the prime minister to the Jin camp to negotiate peace. Li Gang proposed that he negotiate with the Jin people, but Qinzong was afraid that Li Gang's attitude would be tough and he could not reach an agreement with Jin, so he sent another Privy Council member Li Ze to authorize him to allow him to increase the annual currency to Jin by 315 million taels, reward military expenses by 315 million taels, and give Wanyan Zongwang 10,000 taels of gold and wine fruit for bribes.
However, Wanyan Zongwang proposed to pay 5 million taels of military expenses, 50 million taels of silver, 1 million pieces of silk, 10,000 cattle and horses, and cut the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian to give gold, and took the prince and the prime minister as hostages before he was willing to withdraw the army.
Li Ze asked Qinzong to report on the above conditions put forward by Zongwang, and Qinzong and the prime minister immediately agreed, and immediately issued an edict to loot the gold and silver of the people, and advocated the confiscation of all the excellent families.
Naturally, Liu Dafu was not spared, and although he hid a hand, most of the family property was confiscated. Fang Yu was angry, but he could only look up to the sky and sigh: "If the sky is not angry, I will die in the Great Song Dynasty!"
Liu Shiyan gently hugged him from behind and whispered softly: "The officials have done their best, why blame yourself." I'm afraid I won't stay here for a long time, so it's better to go back to Lin'anfu......"
Fang Yu shook his head and said, "The heroes of all walks of life are gathered here to fight against the Jin Army, at this critical moment, how can I give up halfway?
"Well said! If the country is destroyed, how can you talk about home!"
Liu Dafu was full of admiration when he heard it, and what Fang Yu did during this time made Liu Dafu completely recognize him as a son-in-law.
But even so, Qinzong only got 200,000 taels of gold and 4 million taels of silver, but the people had been looted. So he sent an edict to Taiyuan, the three towns of Zhongshan and Hejian and their subordinate counties and the state army north of the three towns, so that they were ready to cede to the Jin people.
Fang Yu resolutely opposed the cession of land, and also thought that the amount of military expenses was too much, and advocated sending envoys to negotiate with Jin to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from King Qin from all over the country. Li Gang followed his advice and immediately entered the palace to face the saint.
However, Li Gang's opinion was opposed by the ministers, and Li Gang was disheartened and offered to resign, but Qinzong did not allow it.
When Li Gang and Fang Yu returned from their tour of the city, they suddenly learned that an oath of complete agreement with the conditions proposed by the Jin army had been issued, and that Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, and Zhang Bangchang, the prime minister, had gone to the Jin camp as hostages.
When Qinzong learned of this, he was furious, removed Li Gang from his post, and put Fang Yu in prison, where he was beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow on the charge of resisting the decree, as a sign of loyalty to the Jin army. At the same time, the Qin sect sent Zhao Gou and Wang Yun, the kings of Kang, to ask for peace for the land and go to Jinying to beg for peace.
On the one hand, the Jin generals Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang said that they could negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, so as to paralyze the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, they accelerated the pace of southern invasion.
"Sister, how is this good!" Liu Yufu was at a loss.
"Sister, don't be in a hurry, don't mess with yourself. Liu Shiyan asked, "What should Uncle Yi do?"
Fang Zhou said: "Sister-in-law, in my opinion, the only way to save my brother is to rob the prison!"
"There's another plan. Her husband was imprisoned for fighting against gold, and the talented girl Liu Shiyan showed an extraordinary other side at this time.
Liu Shiyan begged her father to try to sell her Bianjing home as rescue funds. Liu Dafu paced square steps in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking for a long time without saying a word.
Liu Shiyan said: "Daddy, he is his daughter's husband, how can a wife see that her husband is in trouble and not save him!"
Liu Dafu nodded thoughtfully, made up his mind, took out the deed and sold all the family property, but after Song Jun accepted the money, he saw that Liu Shiyan, who was as beautiful as a flower, actually wanted to hijack and dedicate himself to Wanyan Zongwang, but Liu Shiyan sternly refused.
"The lady looks like a shy flower, Jin Bing must be very happy, if you can retire from the army because of this, the lady's merits are immeasurable......"
Liu Shiyan raised her eyebrows and shouted: "The slave family has a husband, how can you be his ** son! You don't think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, and you actually have such an indiscriminate idea, which is really chilling!"
Li Gang immediately rushed into the house when he heard the scolding, pointed at the guards and scolded: "Something that doesn't have eyes!
Liu Shiyan was able to retreat with her whole body.
If one plan doesn't work, another plan will be born. Liu Shiyan quickly summoned heroes from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes to prepare to rob the prison and save people, and that night, everyone gathered together to discuss the rescue plan.
Since the Song army was afraid of the Jin soldiers, they might as well take advantage of the cover of the night to get some Jin soldiers' clothes, disguise themselves as Jin soldiers and enter the prison city, and they will definitely be able to win without a fight.
Under the instruction of Liu Shiyan, heroes from all walks of life put on the clothes of the Jin Army and attacked the prison city at night. The soldiers of the Song army were originally afraid of fighting without intention, but when they saw the Jin army actually entering the city, they were so frightened that they scattered and fled. Fang Yu was successfully rescued, and in order to hide people's eyes, Liu Shiyan released all the prisoners in the prison city.
"Lady!"
"Official!"
The couple hugged each other tightly.
Fang Zhou smiled on the side: "It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, you have to go home affectionately." Let's go!"
When Qinzong learned that it was even more difficult to sit still, he had no choice but to let the prime minister He Li order Guo Jing to send troops to retreat from the enemy. How do you know that Guo Jing opened the Xuanhua Gate and led his disciples to escape, and the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to board the city wall of Kaifeng City and captured the outer city of Kaifeng.
However, the Kaifeng army and civilians did not surrender to the Jin army, and continued to fight under the leadership of Fang Yu. Liu Shiyan even killed the golden envoy who came to negotiate peace yesterday with a sword.
In a fit of rage, the Jin generals ordered the city to be set on fire, and the people flocked to it, so that the Jin soldiers did not dare to come down from the city.
Under the stalemate, the Jin army had no choice but to repeat the old trick and once again proposed peace, and Song Qinzong and the ministers once again believed it and ordered the army and the people to stop resisting and surrender to Jin to beg for peace.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, that night, Fang Yu took his wife and father-in-law to escape from Kaifeng, but the Jin army was heavily defended and the plan to leave the city failed.
Sure enough, as Fang Yu expected, on the second day, that is, on the second day of the first month of December, Qinzong presented a surrender table and officially surrendered to Jin.
After surrendering to Jin, the Jin generals Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan demanded that Song confiscate the civilian weapons in Kaifeng City and cancel the resistance of the Song army and the people to the Jin army, and at the same time demanded 10 million horses of silk from Song, 1 million gold ingots, and 10 million silver ingots.
Even so, it was difficult to find such a large amount of gold and silver at one time.
After the Jin army captured Kaifeng City like a tiger descending the mountain, he asked Emperor Song Huizong to go to Jinying to discuss the terms of surrender. Song Qinzong was forced to go to the Jin camp on behalf of Huizong, and after agreeing to all the conditions put forward by Jin, he was released in early December.
In the first month of the second year of Jingkang, the Jin army failed to pay the gold and silver from the Song court in time, and asked Qinzong to go to the gold camp again. Qinzong felt that it was not good to go, but Prime Minister He Li and others thought it was okay and persuaded him to go.
As soon as Qinzong arrived at the Jin camp, he was detained, and his residence was guarded by heavily armed Jin soldiers, even surrounded by iron ropes, and sometimes three meals a day could not be provided on time. At night, the Jin soldiers lit the torch, the cries were endless, the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and Qinzong could only shed tears.
After Qinzong arrived at the Jin camp, he was seized, and the Jin people repeated their old tricks and declared that they would return the gold and silver after they had paid enough. As a result, the Song court searched even more desperately, even if the people were not spared.
In order to search for the needs, the Song court also added 24 servants to be responsible for this work, and searched the clan, the inner servants, the monks, and the houses of advocating excellent arts, which made the whole city complain and the people were struggling.
Looking at Liu Shiyan's appearance of captivating the country and the city, Fang Yu made up his mind, no matter what, he must get out of the city! Liu Shiyan was puzzled, Fang Yu just explained that if he didn't leave, he was afraid that a big disaster would come.
At night to the third watch, it rained heavily.
Fang Yu took his wife and father-in-law, and led the rest of the heroes of the rivers and lakes to disguise themselves as golden soldiers under the cover of the rainy night, and finally fought their way out, broke through the encirclement, and escaped.
As expected, in the early morning of the second day, Jin issued an edict to depose Song Huizong and Song Qinzong as concubines. The Jin army howled and rushed into the palace like a wolf, capturing more than 3,000 people, including Hui, Emperor Qin and his concubines, princes, clansmen, and nobles.
Not only that, the Jin army burned and looted on the streets, and when they saw beautiful women, they took them for themselves, and those who were not satisfied were killed, and robbed more than 3,000 folk beauties like this. The royal seals, costumes, ritual objects, and armillary spheres of the Song Dynasty were also collected and returned.
Looking at this mighty team, there are women's heart-rending cries, and Jin Bing's rampant laughter, the scene is bloody, and I can't bear to look at it directly.
Fang Zhou said with palpitations: "Second brother, fortunately, we are running fast. Otherwise, our women would probably be in their pockets. ”
Liu Dafu looked at his daughter, and then at his son-in-law, Fang Zhou was right, if he left one night late, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Liu Shiyan stood in the jungle in a daze, looking at the miserable women on the road, lying on her husband's shoulder, crying bitterly.
