One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Gang said: "Since June to now, our army has been actively defending against Jin. It has built city defenses and manufactured chariots in various places in Hebei and Shaanxi. It has added archers in various states and counties and appointed military officers to lead them. It has also set up commander's offices along the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Yangtze River. Nineteen divisions, thirty-nine important counties, thirty minor counties, and seventy-seven naval generals. The total strength of our army has reached people. Isn’t this called the Central Plains’ initial decision?"

Huang Qianshan sneered and said: "It's really scary. Have you ever thought about how much military pay people require per year? It's at least million yuan."

Li Gang argued: "The bandit rebels recruited by Zongze do not receive military pay."

Huang Qianshan said: "If you don't eat military pay, you have to eat, Your Majesty. A group of thieves are just a mob. It's okay to put on a facade on weekdays, but you can't rely on it once a war breaks out."

"Hey, soldiers are just a piece of tofu, and they can support the Jin army to death." Zhao Gou liked these huge numbers and felt reassured when he heard them, so he supported Li Gang. Li Gang was encouraged and said: "I also ordered each group to recruit troops and send them to Nanjing. This will revive our army in the Song Dynasty and make our reputation great."

Zhao Gou was still uneasy and said: "I just want to ask Prime Minister Li, if the Jin soldiers invade south again, can our army really resist the Jin soldiers?"

"I dare not say that I can defeat the Jin soldiers, but when it comes to resisting the Jin soldiers, I am still sure." Li Gang assured with a pat on his chest. Huang Qianshan curled his lips and said: "Even the Liao army said that if the Jurchens have more than soldiers, they are invincible. Li Gang's big words are harmful to the country and must not be taken lightly."

"If I don't believe in Li Gang, who else can I believe?" Zhao Gou knew that he was deceiving himself, and added: "Having said that, whether our army is a piece of tofu or a hard bone will only be known by beating."

Huang Qianshan shook his head anxiously and said, "Your Majesty's words are wise."

Zhao Gou nodded and left with Kang Lu. Li Gang lowered his head to see him off. When he turned around and saw Huang Qianshan leaving, he couldn't help but sigh.

The moon has just entered, and the northeast is already freezing and windy. The north wind howled and the cold fog filled the air. In the cellar, Qin Hui, Wang and others were wearing thin clothes and suffered from hunger and cold. Due to being imprisoned in the cellar for a long time and having a poor diet, Wang finally fell ill and coughed non-stop. Qin Hui asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Wang said: "Are we all going to die here?" She coughed again. Qin Hui himself was shivering in the cold air. At this time, a palace servant shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, a queen has hanged herself."

Yuan He sighed and said, "Oh, another one." Everyone was startled at first and confused for a while, but soon became calm again. It seemed that they were used to seeing life in the morning and death in the evening, and they were already numb. Yuan He sighed again: "I've been sick and dead all this way. Even if I can barely survive, life is worse than death."

Qin Hui said: "Life is worse than death, but life is better anyway."

Yuan He said: "We and the Second Emperor are trapped here, starving and freezing, and every day there are people who can't stand the humiliation and seek short-sightedness. Under such circumstances, do you think we can still get out?" Qin Hui remained silent and said nothing in his heart. No clue. Yuan He then said: "I have no parents, no heirs, no one to rely on, so I can just die here. Alas, this is my fate."

Qin Hui asked: "Father, are you so resigned to your fate?"

Yuan He said: "What can you do if you don't accept fate? Mencius has long said that the one who does not do it is heaven; the one who does not do it is fate. Everything in the world has its destiny."

Qin Hui smiled miserably and said: "I never believe this. Those who have enough strength can rely on people, and those who lack strength can rely on God."

Yuan He shook his head and said: "Master Qin, you are imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City now. You have nowhere to use your strength."

Qin Hui smiled and said, "I'm just talking."

Yuan He thought to himself and said: "Well, think about it carefully, no matter what you can see, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, you will still end up like this. Whether we are slaves or ministers, we originally thought that it would be easier to enjoy the shade with our backs against the big trees, but we can't. Now that the emperor has become a prisoner, we will only end up being buried with him." He paused and became even more sad. "Thousands of years from now, the world may still remember the two emperors, but we are just passing clouds. , the dust of history”

Qin Hui felt sad after hearing his words. At this time, the Jin soldiers came to the Song prisoners again to search for good-looking women. If they found them, they abducted them from the cellar. Wang held Qin Hui in fear and turned her back to Jin Bing. The Jin soldier rushed over, took a look at Wang's face, and thought it was good, so he pulled her away. Wang and Qin Hui struggled desperately, one desperately called the official, the other just screamed, and they were at a loss. While they were tearing apart in the cellar, Zong Wang walked in accompanied by Jin Bing, only to hear Oli Bu shout: "Stop!"

When Qin Hui saw Zong Wang approaching, he rushed over and shouted: "General, help me, general, help me!"

Zong Wang looked at him sideways and asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Hui said hurriedly: "My name is Qin Hui, my name is Qin Hui." After Zong Wang heard this, he immediately looked at him and said, "You are Qin Hui." He turned to Jin Bing and ordered, "let her go." Jin Bing obeyed the order and let go of Wang. . The Wang family was in shock, with a blank expression on his face, and Qin Hui was so nervous that his whole body was soaked with sweat. The two hugged each other and couldn't help crying. Zong Wang watched, wondering how to deal with it.

At this time, another eunuch exclaimed: "Another one has died." He Li did not turn around, only to see another concubine hang herself to death. Two golden soldiers consciously stepped forward and dragged away the body. When Jin Bing dragged the body past him, he saw a brocade handkerchief falling from the concubine's body. Zong Wang picked it up and saw words on it. The inscription on the brocade handkerchief was a poem called Qijue:

White arboreal crows in the atrium, cold dew and silent wet osmanthus.

Tonight, Yueming people are looking all the way, I don't know who will fall in autumn.

Zong Wang looked at it for a long time and had no choice but to ask Qin Hui next to him with the brocade handkerchief: "What is written on it?" Qin Hui hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attract Zong Wang's attention, so he tampered with the original text. He realized what he wanted and said: "What is written above is that the northern country is wandering in the west wind, and the camp is full of hungry people and evil is everywhere. When the grass is cut off and human life is endless, I look back at my homeland with no regrets."

Zong Wang asked: "How do you say this?"

Qin Hui summoned up the courage to say: "The Jin people raised unjust troops, attacked the innocent country, and kidnapped the clan members. They imprisoned us in this dark city of the Five Kingdoms with no food to eat and no clothes to protect us from the cold. They were simply looking down on human life." , full of evil, this is how your Da Jin Kingdom treats prisoners of war. The souls are withered and the bones are like mountains. This is the result you want." Zong Wang stared at Qin Hui and said nothing for a long time. Everyone watched with bated breath, fearing that if the second prince of the Jin Kingdom got angry, he would harm themselves.

Even Mrs. Wang was trembling and nervous for a long time. Suddenly her legs went weak and she sat on the ground. Qin Hui hurriedly walked over and helped her up. Just listen to Zong Wang say: "Then let me ask you, how should we Jin people treat prisoners of war, so as not to be criticized by future generations?" Qin Hui looked around at the depressing scene of Five Kingdoms City, opened his lips that were purple with cold, and tried his best not to let go. His voice trembled, and he said proudly: "Since I am asking for advice, I dare to ask, is this a place for you Jin people to ask for advice?"

Zong Wang laughed, turned to Jin Bing beside him and said: "Hahaha, this Qin Hui is a bit interesting." So he asked Qin Hui to come with him. Since this is not the place to ask for advice, then he can ask for advice at a decent place. .
