Chapter 105: Moving the Capital
The fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty, early winter, the second day of November, in the morning, Bianjing City.
On the wall of Bianjing City, the Song flag flutters high, the city wall is up and down, it has always been outside the moat, the ironclad warriors are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the guard is strict, the artillery on the city wall is secluded, there are more ironclad knights inside and outside the city to patrol back and forth, the long dragon of vigilance stretches out from the city outside, and spreads for several miles along the official road.
Tens of thousands of troops watched over the city.
Outside the South Gate, south of the moat, under the morning light, a group of Jin clans, concubines, Bianjing officials, etc., all knelt on the ground, everyone wore green robes, bowed to the ground with their heads, trembling.
More than 100 years ago, the difficulty of Jingkang was in Qingcheng, which was five miles south of the Nanwai Gate, after the Jin army wantonly plundered, Zhang Bangchang was established as the emperor, and the country was called "Da Chu". then retreated north in two ways; One route was imprisoned by Wanyan Zongwang of the Jin State Sect, including Song Huizong, Empress Zheng and princes, imperial grandsons, concubines, princesses, concubines and other people went north along Huazhou.
The other route was another Jin State clan Wanyan Zonghan who was imprisoned, including Song Qinzong, Empress Zhu, the crown prince, the clan and ministers Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and others along the northward journey of Zhengzhou, including thousands of people such as teachers and craftsmen, carrying literature, maps, treasures, and legal objects, and no less than 100,000 men and women returning to the north.
Because it happened during the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was known as the "shame of Jingkang" in history. And because the first year of Jingkang was the year of Bingwu, this incident was also called "the shame of Bingwu".
Now 106 years later, the Song people have come back, although the Jin Emperor fled with his ministers, but Bianjing City is now the world of the Song people.
This time, the Jin clan became the slaughtered side, and there was no power to fight back.
Suddenly, on the official road far away, the iron cavalry came from the dragon, the forbidden army was surrounded by elite cavalry, the military generals of the Wenchen were distributed left and right, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Hong, wore a black shirt and a black crown, and the king sword hung on his waist was in it, not angry and self-threatening, coming from east to west.
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”
Along the way, the Great Song soldiers waved the swords and guns in their hands, and everyone spoke in unison, resounding through the field and the sky.
In the sound of "Long live", Zhao Hong came on horseback, and he waved to Wan Jun, but his face was solemn. He soon arrived outside the moat, looking at the towering and scarred city walls of Bianjing City, Zhao Hong's face was solemn, he raised his hand, and pressed it gently.
The deafening cheers immediately stopped, and there was silence inside and outside the city walls.
Zhao Hong stared at the Tokyo city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but be in a trance.
Nine years ago, he had sent an envoy here for the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, but he had not seen him for nine years, and the city of Tokyo was even more dilapidated.
What the glorious city of Tokyo was a hundred years ago has become like this?
Zhao Hong dismounted and shouted loudly at the ancient city wall in front of him that witnessed history, humiliation, and the bloody rebirth of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Tokyo City, your unscrupulous descendant, is back!"
Zhao Hong faced Tokyo City and bent over ninety degrees.
The ministers who dismounted with the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty came together and followed their emperor to salute solemnly.
A hundred years of shame, they have finally washed away!
The army was solemn, and the concubines and concubines of the Jin State clan who were kneeling outside the moat were even more trembling and trembling.
"Chen Cui Li, I've seen Your Majesty!"
Cui Li, who contributed to the city, kowtowed to Zhao Hong.
"Cui Li, let's get even! You have contributed to the city, and you have not killed innocents indiscriminately, I will reward you heavily! ”
Despite the despicability of this person, what should be done is still to be done.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”
Cui Li Xie Wanen got up, his face full of red light.
"King Dajin, Queen Mother, Queen Tudan and a group of harem concubines, King Jing of the Jin Kingdom Wanyan Shouchun, King Liang Wanyan Shouke, etc., kneel down to worship the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Wan Yan Shouchun, the elder brother of the Jin State Clan and Emperor Wan Yan Shouxu, opened his mouth and forced his composure, but his trembling body betrayed him.
"Dajin Country? There is no more great gold country in the world! ”
Zhao Hong snorted coldly and pointed to Bianjing City in front of him.
"Don't forget, this was once the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, and you committed heinous crimes here. We are here today to take back what belongs to us Song people, which is justified and upright. And you are to be held accountable for the sins committed by your ancestors. Are you ready? ”
At this moment, he suddenly calmed down, and he didn't have so much resentment towards these poor creatures kneeling on the ground.
If you don't fight yourself, do you want to blame the robbers?
"The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, there are virtuous people in the world. The Great Song Dynasty King is in the world, and the Great Song Dynasty Emperor Weijia is in the sea, it will not be difficult for these orphans, widows, and unarmed people who have lost the country, right? ”
Kneeling in front of the crowd, a half-hundred woman dressed in green clothes, said softly.
"The Great Song Emperor, the hatred of Song and Jin is not shared, and we have nothing to say. But please look at the love of Princess Wenguo, open the net, and let go of the women, children, old and young. ”
As the uncle of Wan Yan Chun, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yan Shouchun knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again.
For the sake of Princess Wen's affection!
Zhao Hong couldn't help but have a headache.
"If it weren't for the sake of Princess Wen and the prince, you would have been beheaded."
Zhao Hong raised his voice in front of the kneeling clan concubines.
"I once promised Princess Wen that as long as you are willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, I will treat you and other clan concubines well. If you have to get to this point, you will take the blame. ”
Zhao Hong took a few steps closer and faced the half-hundred-woman in Tsing Yi.
"You are the queen mother of the Jin Dynasty, you listen well, my Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and I will not kill you. For the sake of Princess Wen's face, I am not embarrassed for you. From now on, you are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and all of you have moved to Jinling, Lin'an and other places. But your sons cannot be rulers for three generations to repent of the sins of your fathers. ”
These people should be glad that they were not destroyed by the Mongols, otherwise, as in history, all the women of the clan became the playthings of the Mongol nobles, and the men of the clan were either killed or became slaves of the Mongol nobles.
"Thank you for the grace of the Emperor of Heaven! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”
King Jin Dowager kowtowed, trembling and said.
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”
All the clan concubines are all kowtowing, and everyone is relieved.
Although he was reduced to a civilian overnight, his life was saved and he was not humiliated, which is already the best ending.
"Thank you, thank you for having a good princess!"
After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he got on his horse, surrounded by all the horses, and went to the city.
After Yan Chun, he can be regarded as having an explanation.
Cui Li wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xu Sheng.
"General Cui, Your Majesty wants to go into the city to discuss matters. The general will go back to the house to rest first, and His Majesty will summon the general later. ”
Cui Li had no choice but to follow the team far behind into the city.
"Your Majesty, isn't it too cheap for these clan concubines?"
Wei Liaoweng hit the horse behind and whispered.
"Since the Jin Kingdom moved its capital to Henan, it has been almost twenty years, and they haven't had a few days of peace of mind, so forget it. First, they were not the culprits of Jingkang's shame back then, Wanyan Zonghan and others, and secondly, I wanted to give Princess Jin a favor after all. I and her, but we have a son. ”
Zhao Hong shook his head and said, and all the ministers nodded.
The emperor has so many debts, this is the price.
"Your Majesty, what should I do over there Cui Li?"
Wei Liaoweng asked.
"Reward him and give him an idle job. So be it. ”
The crowd rode into the city, along the royal street forward, the state bridge is still the same, but the Xiangguo Temple is very different, the scene in the city is dilapidated, people shake their heads.
"Qinglou Painting Pavilion, embroidered household bead curtains, carved cars compete in the heavenly street, BMW compete in the royal road. Eight wildernesses contend, and all countries are salty. A collection of curiosities from all over the world, all of which are easy to return to the market. I think that the city of Tokyo was rich and graceful, and now it is so dilapidated, which is embarrassing! ”
The prime minister is really virtuous, and sighs leisurely.
"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. At that time, the city of Tokyo was frugal, humane and beautiful, but now it seems to be melancholy and resentful. The shame of Jingkang is unforgettable! ”
Wei Liaoweng, the secretary of the military department, was also full of emotion.
"Not bad! If you fall behind, you will be beaten! Self-improvement is fundamental! ”
Zhao Hong stepped forward, looked at the palace in front of him, and pointed to the south gate of the imperial city.
"It's still changed back to Xuande Gate here, the south gate of the outer city is still Nanxun Gate, Tokyo City is still Tokyo City, everything is as usual."
Now that the city of Tokyo is back under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, everything will return to its original state.
"Your Majesty, are you going to move the capital to Henan and return to Tokyo City?"
Jin Deok-so asked subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, although the city of Tokyo is dilapidated, it is still one of the largest cities in the world with a radius of sixty miles, and it is more than half the size of Yanjing City. His Majesty's relocation of the capital to Tokyo City can also bring the Central Plains back to life as soon as possible. ”
Wei Liaoweng followed.
The Central Plains is ruined, and if the emperor moves the capital to the city of Tokyo, it will not take a few years for the place to be turned upside down and soon prosperous.
"Moving the capital to Tokyo City, I'll consider it."
Zhao Hong nodded slightly, and his heart was also moved.
Dredging the Bianhe River and the old river, familiar with the road. However, if he wants to move the capital to Tokyo City, the Yellow River will be rerouted back to the northern route and solve the suffering of the flooding of the Yellow River, which will be the first major matter he will solve.
Entering the era of firearms, the terrain advantages of the sixteen states of Yanyun are no longer so important, and he does not plan to set the capital in Yanjing.
Tokyo City may be the first choice for moving the capital.
Entering the imperial city, entering the palace, and standing in front of the main hall, Zhao Hong asked thoughtfully.
"Is there any news over there in Wokotai?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Tatar army has suffered a crushing defeat at Lianghe, and for a few years, it is no longer capable of coveting the Central Plains."
Cao Youwen's report made Zhao Hong laugh.
"General Cao, I'm not worried about his invasion of Wokotai, I'm asking, did he send an envoy to sue for peace? Or send envoys to surrender to my Great Song? ”
Hundreds of thousands of sharp soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, with sharp firearms and numerous cavalry, are enough to dominate the world, how can they be afraid of a remnant of the defeated Wokotai?
Cao Youwen's face immediately turned half red.
"Your Majesty, the Tatar side has not yet sent a messenger."
Wei Liaoweng looked at Zhao Hong and replied cautiously.
He was afraid that the emperor would rise up and use troops on the grassland, which would be too radical and risky.
Yu Jue took over Ma Zhong to guard the Western Regions, Lu Wende guarded the entire Western Xia, Meng Heng guarded Hedong, Du Gao guarded Hebei, and Wang guarded Shaanxi. I want to see how many years can Wokotai last? ”
Zhao Hong said coldly and immediately made arrangements.
"Your Majesty, after the Battle of the Central Plains, where should the minister go?"
Cao Youwen couldn't help asking.
"When the time comes, you will stay in the military department, train the officers and men of the navy, and I will prepare to use troops against Japan. When the time came, the army marched eastward and destroyed Japan in one fell swoop. ”
"Obey the order!"
Cao You heard the order and stepped aside.
Sure enough, the emperor was going to use troops against Japan.
"Your Majesty, Guide Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion Military Newspaper!"
Xu Sheng came over to report, Zhao Hong took the military report and shook his head slightly.
Everything is almost exactly the same as it was in history.
In the first military report, the Jin general Wuxian gathered heavy troops to storm Xiangyang City, and was defeated by the Xiangyang defender Meng Ying, with heavy casualties, and Wuxian was killed and martyred.
In the second military report, the Jin army in Guide Mansion was in civil strife, and the loyal and filial piety army accused Pu Chaguan of killing Lu Huan, the guard general of Jin State and Guide Mansion, and Li Qi, the minister accompanying Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu, and 300 other people. Wanyan Shouxu also hunted and killed the Pucha officials and slaves because of the Pucha official slaves.
After a civil strife, the Jin army suffered more than 3,000 casualties and lost its vitality. The Jin Emperor had to flee to Caizhou.
Historically, the Golden Emperor Wanyan Shouxu died in Caizhou.
Zhao Hong muttered secretly in his heart, there should be a place called Youlanxuan in Caizhou City.
