Chapter Seventy-One: Sticky Han's Ambition
It's just that he feels that today's battle is destined to turn into more brutal and bloody street fighting.
Because according to the density of the Jin army climbing the city wall in front of him, the defenders of more than 3,000 people could not be so thoughtful.
"Kill! Killed the Dog Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty ......"
The Jin army shouted the slogan of greed and brutality.
Now, although they are the besiegers, most of the time they can only be beaten passively.
But they didn't care.
It's just that the more you fight, the more you fight, the more fierce you poke, the more fierce you wield, waving the butcher knife in your hand and constantly pushing it to the top of the city wall.
It seems that the Bianliang City, which the Song people call indestructible and indestructible, has become an obstacle that they must take today.
The combat effectiveness of the Jin people suddenly exploded so much, in fact, this was all the handiwork of Sticky Han.
Before the war, Muhan also gave the Jin army some psychological encouragement.
The first to attack Bianliang City will be crowned king directly!
It can be seen that Sticky Han has used his life's work!
In fact, is it worth it for him to do this?
Worth it absolutely!
For Sticky Han, even if he wiped out the 150,000 troops he led this time, it would be a sure-fire deal.
First of all, even at that point, Mu Han did not feel that the Song army had the ability to counterattack the Jin State.
Secondly, Sticky Han made a desperate bet to help Jin Guo obtain more lucrative benefits and returns.
No matter how bad it is, he will not allow this trip to be so disgraced.
After all, the Jin army marched south, thousands of miles away, and marched on a large scale, and it was not a surprise army that could be sent from the sky with white teeth.
Instead, it costs a lot of money, food, and soldiers.
If he ran for nothing, then his status in the Five Kingdoms City would plummet.
This is like the cost of war, the same cost, a small victory, at least to protect the capital.
Losing a battle means losing everything.
But if you want to win the battle, you can make a lot of money.
Especially in the mind of Sticky Han, Da Song is a local tyrant.
Sweet and sweet!
Even if there is the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he pretends to be strong and blindly resists to the death.
But Mu Han unswervingly believes that as long as he breaks through Bianliang City.
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty would promise himself an innumerable amount of real money.
For example, the previous Battle of Taiyuan.
Yan Zongwang just searched the silver vault in the city, and directly obtained eight million taels of gold.
and sixty million taels of silver.
You know, it's just a military town in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, Taiyuan City.
Now this Bianliang City is rich in the world.
It is a place where generations of the royal family have passed for hundreds of years, so how can there be less wealth in the treasury?
Of course, the so-called looting and occupation are only small profits for Sticky Han.
What he valued was the reparations for the war of the Great Song Dynasty.
That's a lot of money that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
After all, Song Huizong dared to promise tens of millions of taels of gold before he moved his mouth!
This move has completely whetted the appetite of Sticky Han.
However, this is not the most fragrant for Sticky Han!
What he wanted was to directly occupy Bianliang City, and then persuade the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom in the Five Kingdoms City to go south.
When the time comes, it will encroach on the entire Great Song Dynasty with the momentum of the wind and clouds.
Like the current emperors of the Song Dynasty, enjoy an inexhaustible supply of taxes.
Isn't that better than the Jurchens huddled in the ice and snow, supporting the barren northern country with supplies?
Such a huge benefit, if it succeeds.
Sticky Han will become a more remarkable figure in the history of the Jin Kingdom than the founding pioneer Wanyan Aguta.
So, Sticky Han had to do his best.
Otherwise, he led the remnants of the defeated army to return to the Five Kingdoms City in disgrace, and he would not be able to explain to Wanyan Wu at all.
What's more, Mu Han also has political opponents like Wanyan Zongwang, who are eyeing him from the sidelines.
And Zhao Shuo, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, also understood what Mu Han was thinking.
Zhao Shuo knew the importance of Bianliang City better than Sticky Han.
This is the Great Song Dynasty and Jin Guo gambling around Bianliang City, betting on each other's national fortunes!
Therefore, Zhao Shuo also wanted to hold Bianliang City at all costs.
"Ahh
Terrible screams reverberated on the city walls.
Those Jin troops who climbed the city wall fell from a high altitude by the spears of the Song army.
The golden man was dressed in armor and weighed more than 200 catties.
The product of a falling object is a lump of mud.
The Jin people will not sit still.
They rushed up the walls, regardless of any weapons in front of them, but with red eyes and screams, they threw themselves into the walls.
With the Song soldiers defending the city, they rolled on the city wall.
The two sides fought, and no one gave up easily.
The war lasted more than an hour.
Zhang Qianzhi counted the casualties of the soldiers defending the city, and it can be said that almost half of them were lost.
The corpses of the golden people were scattered all over the city.
Visually, there were also losses of three or four thousand people.
In this way, the number of Jin troops who climbed the city wall also increased......
Zhao Shuo looked at the city gate and felt that the sky over there was not quite the same as other places.
The clouds there were scarlet.
The shouting and killing sound there was earth-shattering, and he could hear it in the palace.
Now Zhao Shuo looks calm, but in fact, his heart is extremely excited and worried.
But he had no choice but to withstand the pressure no matter what.
Only by crossing this difficulty, will his future journey above the Great Song Dynasty Temple become more and more open!
The survival of Bianliang City is related to the ups and downs of the national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty.
However, when it comes to the national fortunes of the Song Dynasty, it is really a bitter history of a hundred years.
Because the peak of the Great Song Dynasty was the founding of the country.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin peak.
Since then, it has been going downhill.
This is completely different from other dynasties.
Because after the founding of other dynasties, most of them had a reasonable development parabola.
Only the Qin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were the pinnacle of the founding of the country, and then plummeted.
The reason why today's Song Dynasty has slackened armaments is that the monarchs and ministers are centrifuged.
To a large extent, it has been gradually accumulated over more than 100 years.
It is often very difficult to improve the luck of such a dynasty.
Because even if you want to make up for it, it won't happen overnight.
After all, it's a century-old disease.
I can't scrape my bones to heal my wounds.
In addition, Zhao Shuo looked up many typical problems of the Great Song Dynasty.
From the point of redundancy of officials.
It is necessary for the officials to refresh the diagram.
And then there's corruption, which is the whole temple thing.
The second is the reorganization of armaments and the reform of military armaments.
This requires stabilizing the generals, and even more so blocking the mouths of the Wenchen doctors.
Finally, it is necessary to reduce the taxes of the common people.
This move is a top priority.
It is also the most difficult to do at the moment.
Because in the past 100 years, the corrupt officials of the Great Song Dynasty have created all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Some taxes have even been collected by the people for more than ten or twenty years in advance......
Is it easy to change back now?
Basically, it will be hindered by all the aristocratic classes.
That's a big deal.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was Shuibo Liangshan first, and then there was the larger Fangla Rebellion.
In fact, in the final analysis, the people's way of life is getting narrower and narrower.
was forced to have no choice but to rise up.
