Among these people, there are many people who have been oppressed and exploited by the merchants of the Jin Kingdom. They looked at the fate of these merchants of the Jin Kingdom who were usually powerful and oppressed the people, and now they ended up like this, and they felt extremely relieved and happy in their hearts. They clapped their hands and applauded, and some even shed tears of emotion.

And those merchants of the Golden Kingdom were so frightened that they couldn't even stand on their feet. They were forcibly escorted forward by the soldiers, and there were constant terrible cries and wails along the way. Some of them fell on their knees and begged for mercy; Others prayed with words in their mouths that Heaven would bless them from death; Others have lost their minds in fright, and they keep babbling nonsense.

More than a dozen merchants of the Kingdom of Jin were escorted by the soldiers and knelt on the execution table, their faces as white as paper, their eyes full of fear and despair. These merchants, who usually flaunt their might and might, are now like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for the final judgment.

"Behold, those gold thieves have today!" Someone in the crowd shouted, which immediately caused a chorus.

"That's it, these gold thieves have bullied our people on weekdays, and now they are finally going to be punished!" The other said through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, these gold thieves think that they can do whatever they want if they are rich and powerful, but now look at it, it's not the same as losing their heads!" Someone else mocked.

Seeing the excitement, the people surrounded the entire execution platform, and the voices of discussion and shouts came and went.

The Great Song Dynasty was bullied and oppressed by the Jin State for decades before, how could he have raised his eyebrows like today? The hearts of the people were full of excitement and anticipation, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

The unwilling Han Fang also came to the execution site, he blended in the crowd, and his eyes swept coldly over the merchants of the Jin Kingdom who were about to die.

His heart was full of anger and unwillingness, but he knew that he was powerless at the moment.

However, he didn't want to give up and was determined to make one last effort.

So, he approached the prison beheading platform and shouted to Zhao Zhen who was beheading: "His Royal Highness King Xin, do you really want to behead them?" Do you know what the consequences of this are? I will immediately suggest that the Jin Kingdom raise troops to the south, and then the Great Song Dynasty will fall into a land of no return! ”

Zhao Zhen looked at him coldly, without the slightest fear on his face. He replied coldly, "Envoy Han, do you think your threat will be useful to me? If Jin really dares to raise troops to the south, I will personally command the army to meet the enemy. When the time comes, we will see the real chapter on the battlefield! If you interfere with the execution again, I will expel you from the Great Song Dynasty immediately!" ”

When the onlookers heard Zhao Zhen's words, they coaxed Han Fang and scolded him in embarrassment.

They threw rotten leaves and rotten eggs at him, and some even rushed forward to beat him.

Seeing this, Han Fang knew that he would only bring humiliation on himself if he stayed any longer, so he fled from the execution ground in disgrace.

As the afternoon came, the atmosphere on the execution table became more and more tense.

The soldiers were armed with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and were ready to fight.

Finally, under the execution order, the executioners cut off the heads of those merchants of the Jin Kingdom one by one.

Blood splattered out, staining the cold, hard ground above the execution ground.

The headless corpse fell limply to the ground, never to move or react again.

The people thundered with joy, they had waited for this moment for too long.

Soon after the execution, the news spread throughout the capital: all the merchants of the Jin Kingdom who had committed evil and killed people had been executed!

When the people heard the news, they cheered and jumped for joy, knowing that this was a victory for the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty law and good news that they could live and work in peace and contentment.

After Han Fang escaped from the execution ground, his heart was full of anger and unwillingness.

He knew that his threat did not play any role, but made himself lose face in front of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

He glanced hatefully in the direction of the execution table, then turned to leave.

Half a month later, in the palace of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zonghan also learned the news of the execution.

His face was gloomy and terrifying, as if he could drip water.

He sat upright on the dragon chair, his face pale, his eyes glistening with anger. He had just learned that the Great Song had executed those Jin merchants, and the news was like a hammer to his heart, making it almost impossible for him to keep his composure.

"How can this be true? Da Song dared to be so rude! Wanyan Zonghan slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted angrily, "These merchants are my Dajin people, they are doing business in the Great Song Dynasty, for the peace and prosperity of the Jin and Song countries. But now, Da Song has put them to death, which is clearly a provocation to my Dajin! ”

Above the court, the ministers were silent and did not dare to speak out.

They knew that the emperor's anger was not so easy to quell, and whoever dared to touch his mold at this moment would be severely punished immediately.

Wanyan Zonghan glanced at the ministers and asked in a cold voice, "Zhongqing, you say, how should we deal with this matter?" Do you just swallow this breath? ”

The court suddenly exploded, and the ministers talked about it.

The vast majority of people supported the southern attack on the Great Song Dynasty, and they thought that this was a rare opportunity to take it down in one fell swoop while the Great Song was not very strong now.

However, there are also a few people who oppose it, believing that the southern offensive is too risky, and that the previous repeated failures of the southern offensive have already caused the Jin country to suffer heavy losses.

Wanyan Zonghan listened to the discussion of the ministers, and his brows tightened. He knew the risks and costs of attacking south, but he couldn't swallow it.

He needed a plan that would both get out of the way and secure victory.

At this time, Wan Yan Lou stood up, and after he saluted Wan Yan Zonghan, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, maybe you can give it a try." ”

"Oh? What's your plan? Come on! Wanyan Zonghan asked eagerly.

Wan Yan Lou Room smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, we can contact the Great Xia Kingdom again." He promised to cede all the territory west of the river to the Great Xia Kingdom in exchange for the support of its troops. The Great Xia Kingdom has always been eyeing that land, and as long as we offer enough conditions, they will definitely be tempted. When the time comes, we will join forces with the Great Xia Kingdom to go south, and we will definitely succeed. ”

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes lit up when he heard this, this strategy was indeed beyond his expectations. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's a great plan! Lou Room, I'll leave this matter to you. We must make sure that the Great Xia Kingdom agrees to send troops to support us. ”

Wanyan Lou took the order and left, Wanyan Zonghan turned to the ministers and said, "In addition, we can also contact the army that is currently stationed in Liu Yu. They were promised to raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty again, and the three-way army went south again. This time, we are going to make Da Song pay a heavy price! ”

There was a chorus of echo above the court, and the ministers expressed their support for Yan Zonghan's decision. Wanyan Zonghan nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, he knew that this plan to attack the Great Song Dynasty in the south had been supported by the ministers. The next thing to do is to contact the Great Xia Kingdom and Liu Yu's army as soon as possible and prepare for the southern attack.
