Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Wanyan Hujia said: "What does the Son of Heaven do when he sees us?"

Wu Li didn't say hastily: "It is estimated that they want to treat us preferentially, as a bargaining chip for peace."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie said casually, "That's right."

After drinking and eating, Wu Jie said, "Let's set off early tomorrow morning."

Wanyan Hujia snorted coldly and didn't say anything, apparently agreed.

Early the next morning, Wanyan Hujia and others set off with their own people in a happy mood.

Wu Li didn't say: "Song people won't trick us out and kill us?"

"Didn't I tell you? We are bargaining chips!"

"Shangguan, I heard that the women in Tokyo are very good-looking. I want to have a good time when I go to Tokyo this time!"

"Hey, it's enough for you!"

On December [-]th, the Jin army went south, laughing and laughing all the way, and everyone discussed how much they would sleep every night after going to Tokyo.

"I want to sleep ten!" Wu Li didn't shout loudly, and then he laughed wildly, and the people around him also ecstatically.

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow flew from nowhere, and nailed into the temple of Wu Limei who was laughing wildly.

At that moment, the arrow pierced his brain.

Wu Li fell to the ground without saying a word.

The crowd fell into a dead silence for an instant, and before they could react, the voice of the Song Army officer sounded around: "Shoot or kill!"

Between the valleys on both sides, many Song soldiers who had already ambushed suddenly appeared, all holding crossbows, and began to shoot at the bottom indiscriminately.

The Song army escorted back and forth by the team cooperated with each other to stay away from the Jin army.

The Golden Army was right between the valleys, becoming an unobstructed target.

"Go to hell! You bloody gold thieves!" Someone yelled angrily.

Countless arrows rained down, and Jin Jun's begging for mercy and screams sounded below.

Wanyan Hujia was shot into a hedgehog and fell in a pool of blood.

The setting sun is like blood, reflecting the valley in winter is extraordinarily beautiful.

Soon, thousands of gold soldiers were almost dead, and some of them were struggling and howling among the dead.

Song Jun didn't use crossbow arrows anymore, but sent people over, picked up a hammer, and smashed them one by one, hitting the heads.

Red and white splashes were everywhere.

After they were all killed, they dug a hole nearby and buried them all.

It is said that it was rumored later that the captured Jin army was really unlucky, and they all died in an avalanche in the Taihang Mountain area.

Just after all the Jin soldiers were executed by foot on the [-]th day, Yan Jiamu was escorted to the streets of Taiyuan City on the [-]th.

How can I say that there are many folk ghosts!

A few pig butchers are very good at cutting meat.

Wanyan Jiamu was tied to a wooden stake, brought ginseng, and began to cut his flesh one by one under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The meat was just right with every cut.

Wanyan Jia's mother screamed worse than a pig, and was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder and bowels several times.

He proved once again that brutality and bravery are two different things.

It is said that it took two days of scraping before Wanyan Jia's mother was cut to death. When Wanyan Jia's mother died, there was almost only a skeleton left.

In the end, the head was chopped off and hung at the gate of the city for public display.

On the [-]th, news of the accidental death of all the captives who went south also reached Taiyuan.

Wu Jie sighed, and said: "Let the newspaper publish it. I wrote a letter of apology to Tokyo. It's my commander who didn't arrange it."

Knowing that all the Jin troops who went south were dead, everyone in Taiyuan cheered.

The suppressed emotions in Taiyuan City were finally released.

People have emotions, and emotions cannot be suppressed all the time, there must be an outlet for them to vent.

When all the emotions are released, people start to tidy themselves up exhausted.

After all, life is your own, and you have to continue to live it.

The pension policies promulgated by the imperial court successively in Taiyuan undoubtedly brought new hope to Taiyuan.

Just when Taiyuan City started to recover, both the intelligence personnel of the frontier army and the intelligence personnel of the military intelligence department began to be intensively active in the areas of Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion.

Even Yue Fei, Li Gang and others sent out a large number of scouts and began to conduct high-intensity inquiries about the situation in the north.

The Battle of Taiyuan undoubtedly brought huge uncertainties to Song and Jin's brief peace.

Tokyo also ordered newspapers across the North to start publishing articles about the war.

The post station, which was gradually repaired and perfected, played an unprecedented role at this time.

For example, the headline of the newspaper in Xingzhou City, Xinde Prefecture, West Road, Hebei wrote: "The golden army burned, killed and looted in Taiyuan, and the people and gods were indignant. We must always be prepared to fight against the gold under the leadership of the wise and mighty emperor, and fight against the golden thieves forever. !"

"Cangzhou Wartime Express" also published all the details of how the soldiers and civilians rose up to resist and how they were brutally killed by gold thieves when Hejian Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion fell in the first year of Jingkang.

A new round of Song-Jin confrontation, at the end of the fifth year of Jingkang, saw burning flames.

The pattern of the Eastern world has become uncertain.

At this time, the report of the Battle of Taiyuan finally reached Yanjing.

Chapter 471 The Tangled Kingdom of Jin Dynasty ([-]rd update)

After learning that Taiyuan was taken back by Song Jun, Wan Yanjing jumped up and down in Yanjing with anger.

And the Jin army in Zhending Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion also showed great momentum.

However, no one currently has the power to send troops on such a large scale.

Until December 25th, the news reached Beijing.

Shangjing, which was already in turmoil because of Wan Yangao's illness and death, immediately became more tense after learning that Taiyuan was taken back by the Song army.

On the afternoon of December 25th, Wanyan Wu Qimai urgently summoned Zhu Bo Jilie and Wanyan Zongwang who served as Yanyun's economic envoy.

The main hall was dead silent, and the people at the core of Jin Kingdom's power all looked cold.

Wanyan Zonghan was the first to speak, and he said: "Song Dog dared to take the initiative to attack us, isn't this what you connive at!"

But Wanyan Zongpan said: "I have said long ago that the land of the three towns will be returned to the Song Dynasty. The two sides will do business. If you follow what I said, you will never lose the [-] troops! Maybe you already have more at home now. All kinds of silk, tea, and countless copper coins, endless delicacies from mountains and seas, beauties from the south..."

Zong Han said angrily: "It is because of your innocence that you indulged Song Dog! Now this dog is going to bite its owner! You are responsible for it!"

Wanyan Zongpan said: "You have fought for so many years, what have you gained? The Liao Kingdom has not been able to destroy the Song Dynasty for 100 years! Since the Song Dynasty cannot be destroyed, why not do business? Don't you want to make your life better?"

"Shut up! You are helping the Song Dynasty with this kind of thinking!"

Wanyan Zongpan was very thick-skinned, he smiled and said: "I am helping everyone here, think about it, can a Yanyun sixteen states support the huge living needs of the nobles? No! Those people outside You only know how to indulge in pleasure. When the supplies are divided up and are far from enough, you Wanyan Zonghan chose to rob, but your robbing is too long, and you may lose the battle. Once you lose, our supplies will be less. Let's deal with the increasingly disaffected nobles!"

Wanyan Zongpan's tone was sonorous and forceful, as if he was speaking the truth.

In fact, in the official history, the Zhuhe faction headed by Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyanchang also advocated for many times to return the Central Plains to the Song Dynasty and handle relations with the Song Dynasty like the Liao Kingdom.

why?

Because in the official history, the Kingdom of Jin fought for several years and found that the Song Dynasty could not be wiped out, and domestic resources were being consumed year by year.

After the main combat faction like Jin Wushu came to power, they fought in Shaoxing for ten years, and finally found that they couldn't beat it anymore, and the internal finances of the Jin country might collapse if they fought again, so they agreed to negotiate a peace.

But before negotiating peace, he wanted to conceal his own domestic crisis, so he fooled Zhao Gou into killing Yue Fei.

After Yue Fei's death, Song and Jin entered a period of peace.

It was because the Kingdom of Jin itself could not go south any more. As for Wanyan Liang who later went south with all his might, he had benefited from Wanyan Quan's Sinicization reform.

In the final analysis, war is destruction, not only destroying the enemy's country, but also consuming oneself. As long as you can't make a profit in the war, you will definitely lose money.

Once it loses money, domestic resources will decrease, which will inevitably cause panic among interest groups, and they will intensify their search for the bottom, triggering domestic class conflicts.

This law applies to any empire in ancient times.

The scene fell into a brief dead silence.

This shows that everyone present here acquiesced to Wanyan Zongpan's words, and even Zonghan couldn't refute his words.

The Kingdom of Jin is facing an extremely uneven distribution of resources, and the lives of nobles are deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The contradictions among Han people, Jurchen people, Bohai people, and Khitan people became more and more prominent.

In the past two years, the Kingdom of Jin has not expanded externally, and the conflicts cannot be transferred out, and have erupted on a large scale internally.

Wan Yangao's death and the outbreak of conflicts over the heir apparent are just one example.

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Zongwang and asked, "What do you think of Zongwang?"

Zongwang said: "We must face a real problem."

"what is the problem?"

"The Song Dynasty in the fifth year of Jingkang is different from the Song Dynasty in the first year of Jingkang."

After he said these words, everyone fell into a brief silence.

In the first year of Jingkang, the Kingdom of Jin fought against the Song Dynasty, and it was on the ground from Yanyun to the city of Tokyo.

This friction is extremely persistent.

But the contest between Song and Jin in the past few years has been telling the people of Jin that the Song Dynasty is changing.

Wanyan Wu begged for money and said, "Why is it different?"

Zong Wang said, "Because of the reorganization of Zhao Guan's family."

The scene fell into silence again.

Wanyan Wu Qimai asked: "The reform of Zhao Guan's family really worked?"

"At least judging from the results, it does work."

Zong Han said with a sneer: "Who told us to go to the Song Dynasty before, saying that we were afraid of their reorganization, induced the Zhao official family to restructure, and intensified internal struggles?"

Wanyan Zong coughed dryly and said, "I said it."

Wanyan Wu begged and said, "Zongwang, can you really be sure that the reform of the Zhao official family will work?"

"According to the latest news sent back by the minister who was stationed in Tokyo City, after the reform of the official Zhao family, the grain price in Kaifeng Prefecture has initially returned to normal, and the Zhao official family used us a few months ago to attack the conservatives in the court. A major purge has been carried out, and the reform faction has fully taken over the dominant position."

"Using us?" Wanyan Wu Qimai asked in confusion.

"It's because we let the wind pass that we were afraid that the Zhao official family would restructure. The Zhao official family took advantage of this to turn all the opposition into a spy for us to plant in the Song Dynasty. Even the Confucian government was not spared."

Now, the scene fell into dead silence.

Everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

In the end, Wanyan Wu begged for money and said with a dry smile: "This official Zhao's methods are really amazing."

"I heard that this time, he copied out 2000 million guan, and got a large amount of military expenses." Zong Wang said calmly, "I think that many soldiers and civilians must have been mobilized to Taiyuan Mansion by now."

Wanyan Wu begged for money and said, "What should we do now?"

Zong Wang said: "The minister agrees with Zong Pan's suggestion. Since the Song Dynasty broke the peace agreement first, it is better to use this as an excuse to blame the Song Dynasty and force the Song Dynasty to open up business and trade like Song Xia. This will ease our internal pressure on materials. need."

"No!" Wanyan Zonghan directly denied his proposal, "We must fight hard and bring back Taiyuan!"

Zong Wang asked: "Back to Taiyuan, what can we get?"

Zong Han said: "Get the tax and use it as a stronghold to attack the Song Dynasty."

Zong Wang continued: "Which one is more lucrative than the tax you get back or the benefits you get from direct trade?"

Zong Han said: "If you take Taiyuan back and then send troops south to get Hedong, it will be more than what you can get from doing business with the Song Dynasty."

"But now Wushu's westward expedition has already consumed too much, if we go south now, if we can't win quickly, it will be bad for us." Zong Wang said.

The dispute between the two actually reflects the current class conflicts in the Kingdom of Jin.

The resources that the Kingdom of Jin plundered from the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom before, quickly gathered towards the Jurchen nobles in these years.

The nobles are rapidly deteriorating, and their material requirements are getting higher and higher, and more money is used for enjoyment.
