Returned to the Song Dynasty and became a faint king
Chapter 51: Winning the Hearts of Soldiers from All Over the World
In November of the lunar calendar, it is already very cold on both sides of the Yellow River. It has also frozen in many places and the water flow has slowed down a lot. Wan Yanliang and Kublai Khan secretly discussed that they were going to sneak across the Yellow River, raid Bianjing, and capture Zhao Gou alive.
In addition, the soldiers of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties had cowhide, sheepskin and cotton clothes to wear so they were not afraid of the cold. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were still shivering in the cold wearing linen clothes. So they prepared to quietly launch a large-scale attack.
Therefore, after discussion between the two of them, on the second day of November, Jin state generals Wanyan Aguda and Ouyang Feng led an army of [-] to break through the Yellow River from Daming to Bianjing.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the generals Jinlun Dharma King and Xuanming led an army of [-] to break through the Yellow River from Liyang to Bianjing. They gathered in Bianjing and captured Zhao Gou to avenge Qin Hui and Gao Qiu.
Soon the second day of the new year arrived, and there were snowflakes in the sky. The soldiers of the Jin and Yuan countries have been assembled and are about to break through the Yellow River to capture Zhao Gou. They will also capture a batch of gold and silver jewelry and some beautiful women. They were tired of doing this before!
When Wanyan Aguda led the leading force of [-] soldiers, they successfully broke through the Yellow River and secured a small piece of territory. Ouyang Feng on the other side of the Yellow River immediately led the remaining [-] troops to swim into the Yellow River in small boats!
As they were crossing the Yellow River, a huge fire suddenly broke out on the river and soon swallowed up the wooden boats and soldiers on the river. Fortunately, Ouyang Feng was very skilled in martial arts, and only he escaped with his son Ouyang Ke. All [-] soldiers were lost.
The fire on the river burned for a day and a night. They used gasoline for the first time because of the peat. Not knowing the power of gasoline, they poured too much at once! The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin were all burned to charcoal, and no fish could be eaten.
Wanyan Aguda looked at the sky-high flames on the river. He knew that the situation was over, and he immediately decided to quit. He commanded his men to attack Yue Fei and the others crazily, while he quietly escaped behind.
He ran towards the upper reaches of the Yellow River, because the fire there was not big. That was also Yang Cunzhong's line of defense. Yang Cunzhong happened to see Wanyan Aguda running away, and Yang Cunzhong immediately tried his best to prevent Wanyan Aguda from escaping.
It's a pity that Yang Cunzhong was not a match for Wanyan Agu. He was beaten by Wanyan Agu as soon as they met and he only had the power to parry but not fight back. Fortunately, Liang Yong on the side noticed it, and he quickly left his opponent behind and joined Yang Cunzhong to deal with Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda saw Liang Yong coming to rescue, so he let Yang Cunzhong go and flew towards the other side of the Yellow River. Yang Cunzhong and Liang Yong looked at Wanyan Aguda who was running away with great disappointment.
Then they attacked the Jin soldiers, and soon more than [-] Jin soldiers were killed. The remaining soldiers saw no hope of escape. They had lived a good life over the years and were not as fierce as before, so they all laid down their weapons and surrendered.
At the same time, the same thing happened at Liyang and Weizhou where Han Shizhong and Lu Junyi were guarding. Of the [-] yuan army that attacked them, only Jinlun Dharma King and Xuan Ming escaped.
One hundred thousand soldiers burned more than [-] to death, [-] were killed in battle, and about [-] Yuan soldiers were captured. This was the only major victory of the Song Dynasty since the Jin and Yuan Dynasties attacked the Song Dynasty.
This time, approximately [-] Jin and Yuan soldiers were wiped out, and [-] Jin and Yuan soldiers were captured. Not long after, Yue Fei personally escorted the capital. After we got the news in Bianjing, the whole country celebrated.
So I rewarded the more than [-] soldiers guarding the Yellow River. Each soldier was rewarded with one tael of silver, two catties of meat and one catty of wine. Then we will discuss the rewards for merit. If you kill ten enemies, you will be promoted to one level, and you will be rewarded with five taels of silver.
Then let Shi Wengong take the two thousand soldiers he personally trained and go to the Daimyo with my reward! Just enough to take over Yue Fei's role in guarding the name.
When the soldiers received the reward, they all cheered and kowtowed to me in Bianjing City by the Yellow River. All the hearts of soldiers in the world are in my hands.
It is worth mentioning that over the years, more than [-] soldiers have been seriously injured in battles and survived. They have been summoned back to the capital by Fan Zhongyan and the others! After the morning court, I will receive them in person.
Soon the matters in the court were settled, and I took the civil and military personnel of the court to the generals' platform to greet the soldiers who were missing arms and legs!
By the time we arrived at the conferring platform, more than [-] soldiers were already standing neatly under the conferring platform. They stood there like that in the cold winter weather. Even the soldiers who were missing a leg stood there neatly.
I quickly climbed onto the general stage and looked at the neatly arranged soldiers below. Seeing some of them missing an arm, some missing a leg, and some soldiers missing both legs standing there kneeling, I couldn't help but shed tears.
I sobbed loudly and shouted: My soldiers, you are all my pride and my heroes. When the more than [-] soldiers in the audience heard what I said, I personally greeted them. Their cold hearts instantly became hot, and they roared loudly, "Long live our emperor."
After they calmed down, I said loudly: I will leave the safety of the capital to you today. You can guard the capital. I can rest assured that I can finally sleep peacefully.
The more than [-] soldiers in the audience were excited again. At this moment, they all wanted to carve out their hearts and give them to me. I looked at them and said loudly: You protect my safety, and I can't let you wait in vain. I will give you a salary of one tael of silver every month.
After hearing this, the more than [-] soldiers in the audience knelt on the ground and burst into tears! Since they were seriously injured, the court only gave each of them five taels of silver and then ignored them.
They lived a very difficult life in their hometown. They could not buy a warm house for five taels of silver, let alone an acre of land. So they soon had nothing to do but wait to die! Many people make a living by begging in their hometown.
Now the emperor has called them back again, and not only prepared a warm room, but also food. Now I am given a salary of one tael of silver every month, which is more than what I was given when I was not injured and was a soldier.
After they knelt on the ground and cried for a while, they actually said loudly: Your Majesty, we don’t want salary. As long as the Emperor gives us a place to live and food to eat, we will protect your safety, Your Majesty with all our hearts.
After hearing this, I was very touched in my heart. What a good soldier this is! Their demands are so low, why can’t the country do it? Aren’t those officials afraid of retribution?
I shouted loudly: The salary I give you is not for you to live and drink, but for you to marry and have children. You do your job well, and I will have a better industry waiting for you to do after you get married. After you give birth to children, I will raise them for you. I will teach them how to read and how to survive.
After saying this, the more than [-] soldiers in the audience are ready to die for me! If they can really have an income of one tael a month in the future, then there will be many parents of girls vying to marry their daughters to them. So no one believed me when I said about marrying a wife and having children. They finally saw the light of day.
After more than [-] disabled soldiers saw the light of day, their loyalty had reached its peak. Soon this thing seemed to have wings and flew into the ears of every soldier. After the soldiers knew this, they fought more bravely, and they no longer worried about what happened behind them.
The hearts of all the soldiers in the world are in my hands, and the yellow robe will never appear again...
