The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 77 No Generals in Beijing

On December 24th, the fierce north wind whistled, and the tiles in the city of Tokyo were blown up, and the big trees were broken by the wind. Wanyan Wulibu's iron cavalry also came again like the cold wind Under Tokyo, the Jin army from the east and west joined forces in one place according to the pre-plan, and it took only half a month to call it the ancient version of the blitzkrieg. This time, the Song army could not have the advantage in terms of number, so they defended. The generals of the city hurriedly recruited soldiers in the capital, but the recruits were all beggars and others, without fighting spirit, and they just came to make a living.

On the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city. The generals defending the city mobilized the people to go up to resist. When they went up, they saw that the legs were weak. They saw that the Jin army arranged hundreds of stone cannons outside the city. As soon as they got to the city, they would When they shot together, stones and tiles hit the raindrops, which scared the city guards to avoid them. Fortunately, some were calm and hurriedly set up a battle shed to resist the flying stones.

But everyone wondered, those who carried cannon stones outside the city were their own compatriots, and it was reasonable to be forced by others, but the Jurchens rushed over thousands of miles away. How could they bring these big guys? Even if they were done now, it would not be possible in a short time. Completed. However, the generals on the city knew that these stone cannons were given to others for free by the Song Dynasty...

That has to start with the Jin army besieging the city. After Zhao Huan heard that the Jin army was coming again, he called on all over the country to serve the kings and recruited warriors. He was not idle and heard that there was a "Feishan Camp" outside the city. The guy is powerful and is a powerful weapon for battle. So he went out of the city to inspect and inspect it himself, and wanted to see the power of "Flying Mountain".

This Feishan is actually a stone cannon. It uses the power of leverage to shoot stones. The stone cannon of the Song Dynasty has formed its own system. There are single-shot cannons that require forty people to operate and two kilograms of stone bullets; there are hundreds of people to operate and shoot. The double-shot cannon with 20 kilograms of stone bullets; there are also five-shot cannons with 70 to 100 kilograms of stone bullets, seven-shot cannons, and of course there are also whirlwind cannons and tiger cannons that operate by two people, but the stone cannons are much smaller. , It can be said that the Song Dynasty artillery has formed light, medium and heavy multi-level equipment.

'Feishan Camp' has 500 stone cannons of various types. In the era of cold weapons, this can be said to be an absolutely combat-effective force. Of course, the effective killing of stone cannons is not the same as that of artillery, but the big stone fell from the sky and hit people and animals. I guess the chance of surviving is not high, and this deterrent force should be quite large to the siege.

When Song Bing saw the official army arrive, the morale of the soldiers and generals was greatly boosted and performed a practical performance. However, whether it was because the equipment was not maintained or the soldiers were operating illegally, there was a mistake on the scene and the stone did not hit the imaginary enemy's head, which made Song Bing himself. Kill one. His arrival became the death talisman of the dead soldier. In this way, Zhao Huan came in a hurry and returned home in disgrace. He finished the review and turned his head back to Beijing.

The performance of the government made everyone at a loss and didn't know what to do. So when the walls were strengthened and cleared, the more than 500 stone throwers were abandoned in the suburbs, and no one was in charge. The Ministry of War said that the cannon was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It was taken back to the city by the Privy Council. ; The Privy Council said that it was under the supervision of military weapons; the military weapons supervisor said that the eunuch in charge had just been punished and was dismissed; the Jingji said that they did not take charge of the defense, so they did not belong to them; some people also said that it was necessary to use a carriage and horse to take back these things , so the driving department should be responsible for it; the driving department also said that this is the matter of the warehouse department...

In the end, the Jin army took away the five hundred cannons without hesitation, took this offensive and defensive weapon for their own use, and used a little preparation to attack Bianjing City. It was really ridiculous to do something ridiculous!

A few days after the Jin army attacked the city, Xin Kangzong, the commander of the Song Dynasty, was suddenly killed. It was not the Jin soldiers who killed him, but the people guarding the city. It turned out that Xin Kangzong was extremely strict in governing the military and civilians, but the soldiers and civilians were arrogant and did not obey the control.

Xin Kangzong once ordered soldiers: Don't shoot arrows when the enemy is not approaching, otherwise the Jin soldiers will only let the arrows be picked up and shot themselves again. In theory, there is no problem with this order. One arrow in the city can only be used for the key.

time.

However, a soldier ignored the ban and shot archery in the air while idle. Of course, he was severely scolded by Xin Kangzong and imposed military laws. The soldier was dissatisfied, so he wanted to take revenge on him, spreading rumors that Xin Kangzong was Tong Guan's own.

Relatives. Soldiers are not allowed to shoot Jin soldiers. They want Jin soldiers to attack the city. They are traitors, but these words make people suspicious.

It is a coincidence that the book was written. At this time, the flags on the top of the East City Wall began to change, and the flags on the former were removed, and they were replaced with new blue flags. This soldier was even more nonsense and fanning the straits. Xin Yongzong changed his flags to be the inner supporter of the Jurchens and the gold was received.

If people climb the city, how can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed? All the people in a city will be killed.

Rumors were spread by many people, saying that Xin Yongzong rebelled, and now even the flag was changed. So under the instigation of some people, thousands of people gathered at Xuande Gate and carried the Dengwen Gu to Donghua Gate and knocked randomly. The officials of Kaifeng Prefecture also

The bullet could not be suppressed. But when the drum sounded, it alarmed the officials. Zhao Huan sent someone to investigate and reported that there were people gathering outside to cause trouble. When he heard this, he was furious.

It was not long before the last time that the Tai students had a quarrel with the citizens, and this kind of thing happened again. It was even more nonsense to say that Xin Yongzong rebelled. This trend should not last long. If "threat the king and the father" became a habit, that would be fine.

So he ordered the guards in the palace to go from the top to the bottom of the inner palace to arrow. When the people gathered outside the palace saw the arrows coming from the top, they had to hold their heads and jump.

After the scattered and reunited, these people were even more angry. We couldn't afford to offend the official family, so we went to settle the score with Xin Yongzong, so the people left with shame, rushed straight to the outer city, and climbed the city wall. Xin Yongzong was patrolling

Suddenly, the people in the city flocked to the city, saying that it was the people who came to help the war. I never thought that these people were asking him to settle the score. Those people came closer and said nothing, and rushed forward to eliminate the "traitor" for the country.

.

Unprepared Xin Xingzong was immediately caught, and his confidants came forward to rescue him, and more than a dozen people were killed. Poor these soldiers who had been through the battle formation were beaten to death for no reason, and they were even hated as traitors.

The riots did not settle until the evening. After that, Zhao Huan issued an edict to remove all the people in the city from the walls, so as not to cause any similar incidents...

In fact, Xin Yongzong died injustice. There was a reason for the matter of Yiqi, and it was also directed by Zhao Huan. Since the winter this year was a little colder than before, before the Jurchens crossed the Yellow River, some subjects asked to use the beginning of spring to summon harmony.

, with the army of misogynistic Jurchen. When Zhao Huan heard the report, he first invited Yingchun earthen cattle to enter the city, and issued an order to make all the flags in the city turn green to respond to the wood virtue.

It turns out that Song was the one who responded to fire and destined to metal, but there was wood in the Song character, and metal also defeated wood. After the earth cow in Yingchun welcomed into the city, everyone looked at it and there seemed to be a hole mark in it. At this time, it was originally

It is so bad that it is a bad sign, but it is also a bad omen. People at that time believe it, so Zhao Huan's face is naturally not very good-looking, so he can only blame Yu Tian.

Originally, military discipline had to be prohibited. Military orders were as high as a mountain. If anyone dared not follow them, he would be killed without mercy, so as to strictly enforce military discipline and national laws. However, if the general was killed, Zhao Huan and the king and his ministers did not dare to prohibit them, nor could they be investigated and ruled out. In the end, it would not be possible.

After that, it would be disappointing for the soldiers.

The more serious problem is that after years of military use, the imperial guards in Bianjing City were either dead, injured, fled, or left other places. At this time, there were only 70,000 soldiers in the capital, and at this time, the people who helped defend were withdrawn.

When I got down the city wall, I suddenly seemed to be short of people and lacked...

However, the Jin army did not stop during the New Year, so Zhao Huan could not stop. He personally patrolled the city to reward the soldiers guarding the city. However, the prime minister Tang Ke, who had always advocated peace talks, led to the Jin army almost unstoppable arrival at the city.

Everyone dared not treat the emperor like this. He, the executor, could only be a scapegoat and was besieged by the people. Tang Ke rode his horse and stayed away after returning home. Li Bangyan, who had studied that day, asked to dismiss his post, and then

He was impeached by the censor. Two days later, Tang Ke was dismissed from prime minister, He Li was appointed as the right prime minister, and Lu Haowen was appointed as the Minister of War.

However, Tang Ke's dismissal did not calm the people's hearts, but instead aroused everyone's desire to resist. Wang Jian, the commander of the New Year, was beaten by the newly recruited militia, and more than a dozen envoys were killed.

These militia suspected that they were spies. The palace commander Wang Zongyi led his troops to suppress the situation and killed dozens of people before he could control the situation.

At this time, there was another Jiaofang Musician named Si Wenzheng. He was probably scared by the attack of the Jin soldiers. He wrote a letter to the palace and said that he would not fight again. Otherwise, once the Jin soldiers captured Tokyo, they would probably not be able to bear the blame and surrender.

He suggested that Zhao Huan surrender quickly. Prime Minister He Li was furious and obtained the imperial edict and chopped off Si Wenzheng's faulty head.

Zhao Huan dismissed Tang Ke, appointed He Su as prime minister, and Sun Fu as the chief minister of the Privy Council. But this pair of Huobao is a war-oriented faction, but without half of Li Gang's ability, he is sour and stinky literati and nerd, he is not military at all, and he can't refer to him at all.

In the national crisis, Siliang generals, Zhong Shidao died, Qin King ascended to heaven, but Li Gang was still alive, so Zhao Huan immediately issued an edict: Huo summon Li Gang back to Beijing and re-employ. But Li Gang was thousands of miles away at this time

In addition, I can't come back for a while!

The besieged Bianjing this time is completely different from the last time. On the first time, Li Gang was in charge of the overall situation in Bianjing City, and there were soldiers and horses led by the teacher outside the city, and the besieged only the Eastern Army of the Jin Kingdom

;The second time, there was a civil turmoil in Jin Dynasty. The Qin King Zhao Qi repelled the Jin army, but did not let them reach the city. This time, the two armies of the Jin Kingdom arrived at the same time, and Li Gang had been demoted from the court, and Zhong Shidao was also

He had passed away from illness, and the King of Qin ascended to heaven and became a god, but there was no general in the court!

The chaos in Tokyo made Zhao Huan feel in a mess. He was very worried about state affairs. He has been discussing countermeasures with his ministers for several days, sitting side seats, sleeping day and night, not eating or wanting to sleep well. But who can you blame this?

It is said that one gentleman and one minister were once, and Zhao Huan was promoted for several years. Apart from Geng Nanzhong, the evergreen tree, the magistrates changed several positions like a lantern, and the ministers below didn't know how many times they had changed, but it was

A weasel is worse than a nest of rats. This makes him wonder. Can these people really defend the capital? To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to n9
