Chapter 282: Decisive Attack
Wanyan Zongwang stood up, his face was red and white for a while, and when he looked up and saw Xiao Ming looking at him with interest, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I knew that offending you was like offending a demon!" Now we are reaping the consequences! ”
"Wrong!" Xiao Ming said: "You didn't offend me, your entire Jurchen nation didn't offend me, I even admired you all the time, admired a hero like Yan Aguda!" You're wrong because you shouldn't have that kind of ambition! ”
Wanyan Zong looked at it and said, "What does King Xiao mean by this?" Is it wrong for us to want to unify the entire Central Plains? ”
"Of course! You should have been content with the status quo, I, you may not be convinced, then I ask you how many people do you Jurchen? ”
Wanyan Zong said: "Probably no less than 900,000 households!" ”
Xiao Ming said: "Wrong again! You only count hundreds of thousands of households in total, but the population within the tribe is not counted by household, right? To put it bluntly, your entire Jurchen nation, including the Orions in the Far North, is only a population of more than a million, and it still includes the elderly, women, and children! And this population wants to occupy millions of hectares of land? What are you doing with so much land? ”
"Let me ask you another question," Xiao Ming said, "How many advanced farming techniques and modern production techniques have you mastered?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang muttered, "What's the use of these? ”
Xiao Ming said: "Look, this is where you are short-sighted, you can feed this million people by relying on fishing, hunting and grazing at most, but if you want to develop the nation, you need to encourage more people, but then you will immediately face the problem of food shortage, coupled with the harsh climate in Liaodong, the land yield is not high, even if you use farming, I am afraid you will not be able to solve such a problem!" ”
"You're right!" Wanyan Zongwang bowed his head and said.
"Everywhere you conquer, you plunder the population, what are you doing by plundering the population? As your slaves, a nation of less than a million wants to enslave tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, are you too ambitious? ”
Wanyan Zongwang was unconvinced: "Isn't this exactly what the hero did?" ”
"Wrong again!" Xiao Ming said: "The real hero brings people hope rather than destruction, you have destroyed too many things, relying on your own soldiers and horses to be strong is like enslaving others, this is the logic of robbers, I think although you have studied a lot of Sinology, but you can't figure out why you say it: Nanban!" You can make cannons and powerful projectile weapons, and even if you scoop them, you can't make them, can you? ”
Wanyan Zongwang had to nod, counting on Xiao Ming to give him an answer, but Xiao Ming knew that even if he told him the answer, it would be useless, Wanyan Zongwang still couldn't figure it out, he just said lightly: "Only we are the advanced performance, and you are backward, and those who are backward will be beaten!" ”
Wanyan Zongwang was speechless, but he still stepped forward and said: "Dajin is willing to give 500,000 taels of gold, 10 million taels of silver, 200,000 cattle, sheep and horses, I hope to make peace with King Xiao, the two families will stop from now on, Dajin Kingdom promises that the land in all areas of the original Dongdan is still owned by King Xiao, and assign you another fifty states and counties, I have brought the map ......!" ”
Xiao Ming interrupted him and said, "You said that if I said that all these places would be taken for myself, wouldn't all the things be mine?" Why do you want to send it again? ”
Wanyan Zongwang suddenly changed color and said, "Do you want to destroy my Dajin Kingdom?" ”
Xiao Ming nodded and said: "It's not that I have to destroy you, when you overthrew the Liao State, it was to overthrow the tyranny because of the will of the people, but what happened later?" You should have thought of this fate when you exiled the two emperors of the Great Song Kingdom to the Five Kingdoms City! ”
Wanyan Zongwang roared, "But you are not a Song person after all!" ”
Xiao Ming grinned and said: "Strictly speaking, I don't belong to the Song people, but I am a member of the Chinese Kingdom, it's not that I have to destroy your Dajin Kingdom, but you have no need to exist anymore!" ”
Xiao Ming flicked his cloak and said again: "I want to unify all the continents, you must perish, the Han people need to see that they can defeat the northern nomads who are fiercer and stronger than themselves, you just need to be the whetstone of this process!" Go back, I only accept surrender, not peace! ”
Wanyan Zongwang's face was like ashes, and he staggered out, taking all his entourage all the way back to Huanglong Mansion! Jin Taizong dragged his seriously ill body to Wanyan Zongwang and asked, "How do you ......?" ”
"He's going to wipe us all out!" Wanyan Zong said: "We are wrong not to attack the Central Plains!" ”
Jin Taizong was shaken all over, and exclaimed sadly: "Our Jurchen warriors and the rest of the ice and snow land, how many times have we been wiped out by people, how many times have we faced a strong enemy, have we never flinched, are we really afraid?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang said: "If you can't beat it, you will give the lives of our Jurchen warriors in vain, and the only way to do it is for now."
The span > dropped! ……”
On the same day, Xiao Ming's army arrived at the city of Huanglongfu, camped three miles away from the city, everyone was not in a hurry, buried the pot to cook, rested, and prepared for the siege of Huanglongfu.
On the other hand, in the Huanglong Mansion, it was gloomy, the people and many officials in the city all sneaked out of the city to flee for their lives, and the city gate was now open a few doors, and from a distance, the observation post on the hot air balloon passed the news to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming just smiled slightly, and then he sent an order to everyone to prepare for the enemy to rob the camp at night.
As Xiao Ming expected, the Jin soldiers really went out to rob the camp at night, but when the first shell fell among the horses, they retreated, knowing that Xiao Ming had prepared early, even if they rushed up, they would be killed, but in the early morning of the next day, there were still nearly 10,000 Jin soldiers lined up outside the city, ready to carry out a cavalry attack.
This was a very tragic and decisive attack, and the Jurchen warriors of the Wanyan tribe of more than 8,000 royal guards were unwilling to surrender and launched a cavalry charge towards Xiao Ming's camp! When Xiao Ming saw this situation with his binoculars, he shook his head and ordered the cannon to be fired!
The slaughter was staged outside the Huanglong Mansion, and the artillery fire ploughed down the road along the road of the Jin soldiers' charge, and this road was a mixture of gunsmoke and blood, and there were less than a thousand cavalrymen who could rush up through the barrage of artillery fire, and their faces were full of blood and hideous expressions, and one by one, they waved scimitars and maces and rushed towards the enemy who had already aimed at them.
When the gunfire finally ended, there was not a single person living on the battlefield except for the horses standing beside their masters! The tragic situation is terrifying! The second-echelon men who were originally going to capture the captives almost didn't have to do anything! Qian Baguang beat his chest and said: "It's a pity, so many good laborers!" ”
And Xiao Ming said: "The land here is suitable for planting flowers tomorrow!" It's so fertile! ”
This attack was the last counterattack of the Jin soldiers, and then Wanyan Zongwang led all the princes and ministers who were willing to surrender to the Dajin Kingdom to surrender on their knees outside the east gate, but there were still many people in Jin Taizong who ran away in advance, and Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongqi surrendered to Xiao Ming on behalf of the Jin State.
Jin Taizong fled west with the children of the royal clan under the protection of Wanyan Zonghan, which made Xiao Ming very strange, why didn't they flee to the north and flee west, he ordered Ma Haishu's wolf division to send two regiments of troops to ride horses to pursue westward, but he came to take over the Huanglong Mansion, in a sense, the Dajin Kingdom has been destroyed by itself!
His next step is to destroy all the temples and sacrificial rituals of the Jin Kingdom, and even most of those things were snatched by the Jin people from Bianliang City, and he will also destroy them all! Even if the Dajin Kingdom can restore the country in the west, they are no longer considered the Dajin Kingdom! And in fact, in the process of escaping for his life, Jin Taizong was already dying!
Wanyan Zonghan took Jin Taizong's corpse and ran all the way to Shangjing Linhengfu of the original Liao State, only then stopped, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Xiyin and other clansmen and nobles discussed, and decided to help Wanyan as the emperor, and the emperor was called Jin Xizong! The name of the year!
Wanyan Jurchen's name is Hezhu, and she is the eldest son of Wanyan Zongjun, the eldest son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Min, that is, the eldest son and eldest grandson! At the beginning, he was set up by Wanyan Xiyi and others as the emperor of the imperial version, and the identity of the crown prince had already been established at that time, and now that Taizong is dead, he should be the emperor as a matter of course!
Jin Xizong ascended the throne and gave himself the honorific title is: Hongji Zhangwu Zhuang Jing Xiaocheng Emperor! Vow to recapture the fundamental land of Liaodong! However, Wanyan Zonghan and others persuaded him, not only did not use troops to the northeast, but went south to Yanjing Mansion, with the purpose of consolidating the rule of the Jin State in the entire Central Plains!
Huanglong Mansion was taken over by Xiao Ming, naturally looting, according to Xiao Ming's old rules, the gold is his, the silver is everyone's, the remaining princes, ministers and nobles of the Dajin Kingdom were all taken into custody, because there were too many prisoners, Xiao Ming had begun to let people start to build the railway from Shenzhou to Liaoyang and then to the Lushun base, so that more than half of the 100,000 captive laborers were engaged in this work.
Next, Xiao Ming continued to let the troops advance north, to the birthplace of the Jurchens, the Five Kingdoms City, and also to rescue the Northern Captives of the Great Song Dynasty there by the way, and the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong were also there, and many Han people and craftsmen who were taken captive to the north were also within the scope of this rescue.
Three days later, when the Liao State was captured, Ningjiang Prefecture, which made the leader of the team Yelusha very emotional, after many years, finally recovered the land of the once great Liao, and then entered and occupied the city of Wure, scooped down the Tieli Palace, the Jurchens of Pennuli and Yueliji were even more desperate to flee, and seven days later, the cities of the five kingdoms of Yueli Du and Orimi all fell.
A large number of Jurchen tribes were forced to run around, Ma Haishu reported that several tribes of Jurchen people fled south along the eastern side of Changbai Mountain in the Xing'an Mountains under the leadership of several noble chiefs, and asked if they had sent troops to intercept them in Luzhou and Fengzhou, Xiao Ming signaled to let them run, it was best to run all of them to Goryeo, and in fact, at this time, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of Jurchen tribes entering Goryeo!
Xiao Ming led his army to continue his march north, and finally found Huizong and Qinzong trapped here in the Five Kingdoms City of Heishui City, which was a small village like a nest of earth, and found their Song army because some of the surrounding Jin soldiers were guarding and some of the retinue of the second emperor who were still following them, and the guards could only barely recognize them as Song people from the tattered Song clothes on their bodies.
On the earthen kang of a hut, Qinzong was waiting for Huizong to take medicine, which was the only herb that could be found, and Emperor Huizong, the Great Virtue Daojun Emperor, had already been ill half a year ago! When the Second Emperor was rescued, he almost didn't believe his ears, and when he learned that it was Xiao Ming who rescued them, he really didn't know what to say.
The second emperor was sent to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, most of the Song family personnel were basically found in Huanglong Mansion, Empress Meng of Huizong and Empress Zhu of Qinzong and others had already committed suicide due to humiliation, and the palace ladies who accompanied them to suicide did not know how many, women always used death to wash away their shame and return their innocence, while men were afraid of death to save their lives!
Xiao Ming has been leading people to fight to the Murwei Wangfu of the Murwei tribe, expelling all these tribes to the northwest, and then collecting the troops back, and the team of escorting captives and slaves can be seen everywhere along the way, Xiao Ming strictly ordered that no abuse should be made, and slaves can only be called laborers, but the Song army, who hated the Jurchens from the Hebei Righteous Army, still continued to abuse them on the road, and the Jurchens were miserable along the way.
After Xiao Ming destroyed the northeast of the Dajin Kingdom, the class teacher returned to Liaoyang Mansion, and at this time the person who started to report that Emperor Huizong had been merged into the army, I am afraid that it would not be a few days, Xiao Ming sighed, or decided to go to see these two humiliated emperors.
