Chapter 216: Folding Family

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the west has been a constant war, and the main focus was originally to resist Liao, but since the founding of the Xia State by Li Yuanhao, a party member one hundred and five years ago, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have formed a brotherly state, and the main task of the northwest armies has changed from resisting Liao to resisting Xia.

And here, the most famous, should belong to the Northwest fold, the two species, not much to say, this fold family from the qualifications, the name of the first in the Northwest is well-deserved.

After all, the years of the people who folded their families in the west were longer than the years of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Zhe family lives in Fuzhou, which is bordered by the Yellow River in the east, the desert in the north, and the Hexi states in the south, and the geographical location is also very important...... Yang Yizhong's ancestor is the Yang family general, and there is a She Taijun in the Yang family, who is actually the daughter of the Zhi family, although the woman does not let Xu Mei say that Han Shizhong's daughter-in-law Liang Hongyu performed when Huang Tiandang finished Yan Wushu, but in real terms, this girl who married the Yang family is the woman who can best embody this sentence in this dynasty.

This is true for women, let alone men.

At the time of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers besieged Taiyuan, and the northwest families rushed to march to the king of Qin, but the Zhe family has not moved, because its role is too great, to prevent the Xia State from taking the opportunity to enter, and then there is no way, the last head of the Zhe family can seek to solve the siege of Taiyuan, after all, he still led his troops to the north, but was defeated by the Jin soldiers on the periphery of Taiyuan, and fought three times in a month, and all three times were defeated.

In desperation, coupled with the Jin soldiers finally broke through Taiyuan, they retreated to Fuzhou, until the second year of Jianyan, the two emperors were to the city of the Five Kingdoms, the famous general of the Jin State Wanyan Lou Room captured Yan'an, cut off the grain road in Fuzhou, there was Xia Guo in front of the fierce face, and then there was the Jin State eyeing the tiger, when it was already the end of the grain aid, Wanyan Lou Room persuaded the family to surrender, and allowed it to take the land of Guanzhong, and in desperation, he surrendered to the land of Fu, Lin and Feng.

At this point, the Zhejia family has gone on a completely different path from the planter.

When Jianyan was in the third year, Wanyan Lou Room and Zhe Keqiu and his 30,000 Zhejia troops attacked Shaanzhou, and in the fourth year of Jianyan, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Lou Room and Zhang Jun fought in Fuping, which defeated the 180,000 army that the Song State finally gathered to slow down, and also broke the defense line in the west of the Song State, until in recent years, under the governance of the Wu brothers, the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi has the ability to take the initiative.

And in this crucial battle, there is still a figure that can be found.

After that, Zhe Keqiu completely won the trust of the Jin State, and even some time before the Battle of Fuping, when the Jin State was preparing to establish power in the Han Dynasty, there was a debate about whether to seek it or establish Liu Yu.

Until the seventh year of Shaoxing, that is, five years ago, Qin Xiangye's old master was lazy and finished Yan Chang to abolish Liu Yu's throne...... This Yan Gao is really a person who is dedicated to gold, and he can't be reused when he sees that he can ask for reuse, but he has a heavy army, so in the second year, he poisoned him to death.

It is another example of a bird hiding a good bow, there is Guo Yaoshi in the front, and there is a fold to ask for, but unlike Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army, which was all buried alive, the Zhejia army, as the elite of the Western Army, was still retained by the Jin State, but it no longer had a number, and it was scattered into the armies.

Three years ago, when the Western Xia took advantage of the Song and Jin Dynasty to reach a peace agreement and return the Central Plains and most of Shaanxi to the Song State, they sent troops to occupy Fuzhou, and the descendants of the Zhe family have completely dissipated...... The Western Xia resented the Zhe clan for resisting Xia for many years, digging up their ancestral graves, whipping the bones of the ancestors of the Zhe clan, and doing their best to insult them.

The old man reported his identity, and a few responsive people around him understood the reason for their behavior.

The family has been loyal for more than 100 years, but at the last moment, there was such a mistake, from the first in the Western Army to become a lackey spurned by tens of thousands of people, especially under the foil of the family, this earth-shaking difference is really unacceptable.

I feel that it may not be much to say, but the bitterness and bitterness in it can only be understood by the parties concerned, just like the appearance of this old man, when facing his own compatriots, he didn't even dare to recognize each other, and he hid his identity, as if it had become a knot in their hearts.

Liu Bang had already heard about this family, and at this time he heard him report to the house, and after some thought, he finally asked:

"You are waiting to surrender without a fight, but because you are ashamed?"

The old man burst into tears: "It's all this time, and sinners don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty." ”

"The reason why it came down is because under the command of this golden man, life can no longer go on."

Xin Ciying frowned, he naturally admired the Zhe family, and he begged for his behavior...... Naturally, he was spurned, but in the end, he still had a trace of pity for these people.

At this time, the emperor asked such a question, obviously he had already given them a step to go down, but this person told a lie when he should tell the truth, and when he should tell a lie, he told the truth.

It's really weird.

Liu Bang was also obviously choked: "I probably know your mentality. ”

"It's just that it can't go on, what is the point?"

The veteran still cried: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the Jin Han Army belongs, nine times out of ten are signed by the army, sinners like me and others, although they receive military salaries, they have nothing to do with the signing army." ”

Signing the army is to issue all the civilians Ding Zhuang as soldiers, that is, the meaning of forcibly capturing the strong men to form an army, Wang Zao, a former scholar of the former middle school, once said: "Bijin people into the Kou, drive more people from the two rivers, line the array, and sign the army." ”

If you put it more bluntly, it is cannon fodder.

For cannon fodder, it is natural to have the treatment that cannon fodder should have, and the rewards they receive are all based on merit, if it is a guaranteed military salary like a Jurchen soldier, it is absolutely nothing, and their guarantee is just the tax collected by the family.

"Now that the Jurchens have no New Year's tribute, no waterways south of the Yangtze River, no fertile fields in the Central Plains, and no Han farmers, how can they make money for nothing? If you don't have money, it's just that, in the last ten months, we haven't even eaten a full meal! ”

"If it weren't for the fact that we and the others were all guilty people, we would have gone to serve the king a long time ago, why wait until today!"

"Your Majesty has little mercy, to put it mildly, it's all my own fault...... It's just that many of the newcomers to the Zhejia Army are children who had never participated in the war back then, and they are still innocent. ”

"Don't dare to ask for anything else, I just hope that the officials will punish me and other old people, don't burden them."

The old man said a lot, but Liu Bang just kept ringing a voice in his head:

These signatories of the Jin Kingdom have not even been able to eat enough in the past month!

This is Kaifeng, this is the Central Plains!

This is the most important place in the land of the Jin Kingdom in the Song Dynasty!

If this is the case here, what about other places?
