The heavens start from the red building

Chapter 182

But Song Huizong can't believe anyone now. Although he sent Cai Jing to find Tong Guan, he detained his family in Beijing.

And in order to win over Cai Jing, Song Huizong also promised him that as long as he could let Tong Guan lead his troops back to Beijing, he would marry the princess to his son.

Cai Jing doesn't care whether his son marries the princess or not. His whole family and all his property are in Beijing. Cai Jing will definitely try his best to get Tong Guan to lead his troops back to Beijing.

Song Huizong also regretted it now, thinking that Tong Guan was an eunuch at the beginning.If there are no descendants, he shouldn't rebel, so don't worry about letting him go out. Looking at it now, the eunuch is not completely loyal to him.

As for Chen Dong, there was no effective resistance, and he fought all the way to the outside of the capital.

Song Huizong had already arranged all the troops around the capital to defend in the middle of the capital. It is believed that Liangshan would not be able to enter for a while.

Now Song Huizong hopes that Tong Guan's army can hurry up.

Here Cai Jing also came to Tong Guan's army, because of the special circumstances of the Song Dynasty leading the army, Tong Guan could not cover the sky with one hand in the army.

Cai Jing came over to read Song Huizong's will, and asked Tong Guan to quickly send troops back to escort him. No matter how unhappy Tong Guan was, he dared not hide it like before.

Tong Guan still didn't give up, he had already pushed Fang La to a desperate situation, and he was about to wipe out Fang La, and now going back would be a failure.

He felt that the emperor and all the officials were making a big fuss, and he didn't think that these rebels were any big deal when he beat Fang La here. Although there were many people, they were basically mobs.

If they lose a little more, they will break up in one rush, and the fight will go smoothly.I still have so many troops in the capital, how could it be possible for Liang Shan to take the capital.The emperor and hundreds of officials are too timid.

Moreover, Tong Guan had no idea, the emperor told him to go back, he disobeyed orders, pretended not to have received the order, if he handed Mie Fangla back, he would have something to say, but it would be bad luck if he went back without any credit.

Tong Guan asked Cai Jing unwillingly, "Grand Master, is it really so difficult in Beijing? Seeing that Fang La is going to die, if he goes back now, he will come back from the ashes again!"

Cai Jing is now thinking about his family and all his property.Seeing that Tong Guan didn't want to leave yet.Pull down the face directly.

"Tong Guan, you have to find out who you are. The government has issued an order, and you still dare to resist the order?"

Seeing that things were irreversible, Tong Guan had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to Beijing reluctantly.

But Chen Dong had already made preparations. Even though there seemed to be a lot of people in the capital, they were actually empty-handed.

It is very easy for Chen Dong to win the capital. He deliberately surrounded the capital and did not fight, just to take the opportunity to deal with the elite that Tong Guan led.

Chen Dong had already instigated several people around Tong Guan, and when he saw that Tong Guan was going back to Beijing, he quickly proposed.

"Tong Taiwei, we have a lot of people, and it will take a long time to travel by land. When we arrive in the capital, the Liangshan bandits will wait for their work. I am afraid that we will be attacked by surprise. Instead of going directly by water, we will return to Beijing via the Grand Canal. This will save time and effort."

Tong Guan also felt that it made sense when he heard it. Because of the prosperity of commerce in the Song Dynasty, water transportation was also very developed.

Everyone had no objection to going by water, and Cai Jing agreed as long as he could go back as soon as possible.

Tong Guan has been fighting Fangla here for almost a year. Although Fangla suffered heavy losses and was about to die, Tong Guan also lost a lot of troops.

Now he has less than 10 people under his command, but these 10 people are much stronger than the 20 people Gao Lian had at the beginning.

Tong Guan found 20 large ships in the local area and planned to transport the soldiers back in two batches.

Chen Long had already made preparations, and the three Ruan brothers were already waiting with their well-trained sailors.

There are 800 miles of Liangshan Park around Liangshan, which is a good place for naval training.In addition, the Ruan brothers are very good at water, and they specially trained a team of water ghosts.

This time, the water ghost troop did a great job. Seeing that Tong Guan's troop was about to arrive in the capital, the Ruan family brothers led the water ghost troop and sank all their ships.

Although many soldiers knew water skills, they were only able to splash twice when they fell into the water, and they were all wiped out by the Ruan brothers with their navy.

Even Tong Guan and Cai Jing were unfortunately captured, and it was known that after Tong Guan died, the other half of the troops who were not on board were also leaderless.

Chen Dong ignored them first.Directly ordered to attack the capital, and the people in the capital lost their fighting spirit when they knew that there was no reinforcements.

More importantly, they all knew that Chen Dong's troops would not harass the people after entering the city.

It's just because Chen Dong has the experience of later generations, before the war, he tried to get Shi Qian to get in and distribute a lot of leaflets.

Another advantage of the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature over military affairs is that many people sent their children to study in order to get ahead, and the literacy rate was quite high.

The leaflets issued by Shi Qian were picked up by those common people, and it clearly stated that Chen Dong's army had strict military discipline and would never take a single cent of the common people.

And take Qingzhou as an example, the troops of the imperial court rushed into Qingzhou to loot.In the end, it was Chen Dong who saved the people of Qingzhou.

Although there were still many people who were skeptical at the beginning, but too many leaflets were distributed, and the virtues of the soldiers in the imperial court were also very clear to these people.

So later on those common people believed what was written on these leaflets to be true, and even those soldiers thought that Liangshan would not kill the prisoners anyway, so why did they work so hard!
Seeing that the morale was getting lower and lower, although the emperor was anxious, he had no choice but to run away before Chen Dong called.

But looking around, because of the successful examples of Fang La and Liang Shan, uprisings were everywhere throughout the Song Dynasty.

Even if the emperor wants to run away and has nowhere to go, he might as well stay in the capital for safety.

Just when the emperor had given up everything and was hiding in the harem, someone in the capital finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly opened the city gate and surrendered.

Chen Dong himself didn't expect that he would win the capital so smoothly.

After entering Beijing, he still restrained his subordinates according to the old rules, and then asked the people to report those bureaucrats and bullies who oppressed the people on weekdays.

Then those people were dealt with in public to reassure the people, but there were disputes among the people under the emperor's handling.

Chen Dong hated Song Huizong deeply, and it was because of him that for the first time, the majestic kingdom of heaven was officially occupied by the Tartars.

It also left a very humiliating stroke in history. According to Chen Dong's meaning, he would directly pull this bastard down and cut him off.

But both Wu Yong and Lin Chong persuaded Chen Dong to keep the emperor for a better reputation.

Wu used them to follow the orthodox idea. Those who seized the country in the past dynasties basically gave preferential treatment to the royal family of the previous dynasties, and they also appeared to be magnanimous.

And the emperor didn't resist at all in the end. If Chen Dong killed him, the scholars in the world might say that Chen Dong was too small to tolerate others.
