The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The guardians refused to accept the order and refused to accept the orders, and the guardians of Shizhou in Kaide Prefecture surrendered under the orders. The guardians of Hebei and Hedong all resisted the orders and refused.

Delivery city.

The way Ouyang's order to go to Shenzhou (now south of Shen County, Hebei) to handle the land cedes was even more infuriating. As soon as Ouyang arrived at the city of Shenzhou, he cried bitterly and shouted to the soldiers on the city: "The court is for

The mistake of the treacherous ministers came to this point. I am just dying today. You must serve the country with loyalty and righteousness, and swear to defend the country's territory to the death..."

The Jin people were furious and overturned Ouyang to the ground and beat him up. Ouyang was beaten to the point of blood rushing through his mouth and nose. When he was dragged away, he was still shouting to the city: "The land of the ancestors cannot be as big as others..."

After Wanyan Nianhan heard the news, he was both surprised and annoyed. He ordered Ouyang to be burned to use his essence to help. He also ordered the soldiers to release the family members of the Shizhou guardian first, and to Hebei and Hedong thirty-five guardians.

The family members were tortured and tortured, so that they could know the consequences of disobedience.

Zhao Gou just led his army from Daming Mansion, and a quick horse sent Zong Ze's military information report: Zong Ze had led his troops to Kaide Mansion, only forty miles away from Weinan County where the Jin soldiers were stationed.

Zong Ze suggested that Zhao Gou immediately lead the entire army to Kaide Prefecture to preside over the overall situation, and sent an edict to Hebei, Hedong, Huaibei, Huainan and Shaanxi to directly disturb Tokyo.

Zhao Gou asked Wang Boyan how to reply to Zong Ze. Wang Boyan said: "Master, you can reply that you must wait until the troops and horses meet before you can go south. If you want Zong Ze to directly raise the flag of the Grand Marshal first, he said that the King is now in Kaide.

House.”

"Will the Jin soldiers gather heavy troops to attack Zong Ze first?" Zhao Gou asked.

"Zong Ze will deal with it, so don't worry, the king." Wang Boyan said lightly. He thought to himself that as long as the Jin soldiers thought King Kang was in Kaide Mansion, we would be much safer here. Zong Ze overestimated his abilities, every day he went to heaven.

Just let him compete with the Jin soldiers!

Zhao Gou thought about it and said that the most important thing now is to protect himself and seek great achievements. The future Song Dynasty still needs himself!

Zhao Heng knew very well that ten million pieces of silk could be collected, but the one million ingots of gold and five million ingots of silver promised in the affidavit could not be collected at all. He thought that he could only give all the money from the capital.

When he arrived at the Jin camp, he expressed his sincerity. The second coach of the Jin Kingdom was somewhat reasonable and allowed him to make up for it in the future.

So Zhao Huan sent someone to the Jin camp to explain that He Li mourned to the second general of the Jin Kingdom, begging to reduce the amount of gold and silver. Wanyan Nianhan was furious and shouted He Li out. Then he sent an envoy to Kaifeng Prefecture

Asking Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe: So far, the gold and silver paid are less than one hundred compared to the agreed amount. Are you deliberately delaying the responsibility and wanting to betray your faith?

When Zhao Huan saw that Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Olibu would not retreat without taking enough gold and silver. If the Jin soldiers were siege like this, the consequences would be unimaginable. So Kaifeng Prefecture posted another list of articles that afternoon - Continue

The roots include gold and silver. From the empress, the crown prince, to the ministers at all levels, wealthy families, and the people, they will hand over gold and silver. If you dare to hide it, you will deal with it with military law!

As soon as this list was released, the people in the capital were panicked. The heads of King Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe were ordered to collect the whole city. The officials forced the gold and silver from door to door. They suspected that anyone had hidden the gold and silver, and they tied up and tortured them in public;

Some officials and wealthy families stayed in hiding and were reported by slaves. The officials dug out a cellar in their homes and arrested them in prison. Some people really couldn't hand over them and were forced to commit suicide by hanging their beams and throwing themselves into water.

It is sad and sad sigh, crying and wailing...

In the past few days, the court used tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to carry silk, and almost handed over ten million pieces. Wanyan Nianhan suddenly sent an order: "Only collect the best goods, the rest will be stained with ink, and the life

They moved out and sent the good ones again. If they had any complaints, they would tell them that I and the second prince were very angry and asked them: Is it because my army is still under the city and I want to break the trust of the alliance?"

Zong Han's temper became increasingly stronger with the repeated compromises of the Song people. Those Song people who were "invited" out of the city were endless. The Jurchen soldiers carefully searched and found gold, silver and other objects in their carry-on luggage.

.The Song official who was in charge of the plundering in the city had long claimed that he had plundered it.

Mei Zhili, Minister of Revenue, Cheng Ming, Order of Kaifeng Prefecture, An Fu, Minister of Rites, Chen Zhizhi, Minister of Works, served as the official of the four walls of the southeast, west and northeast. No one dared to delay, and they all took people to the people's homes to tear down the walls.

The house was dug for more than ten days. Although there were some gains, it was really far from the number required by the Jurchens. Mei Zhili discussed with several others in private. Now the peace has been decided, but the Jurchens forced to invite him.

If the gold and silver are really paid in full, it will be impossible to even offer the copper and iron in the city. I am afraid that Zong Han will not know this fact. It is better for us to file a complaint in a letter, and the matter will be over there.

In my heart, several people felt that the day of debt collection every day was really unpleasant. Instead of watching the people cry and greeting their ancestors every day, they were not a solution, so several people wrote a letter to the name: The gold and silver have been finished

, and even more unforgettable. If you report lies, you will be willing to be subject to military law.

Looking at Jinyin Zonghan in the warehouse, he didn't believe it very much, and suspected that there was still goods in the city. At this time, a man who defected to the Jurchens came up with a wonderful plan, so he came to see Nianhan and offered a plan: "What the people in the city now lack is not the emperor, but

It was food, so it was better to let them take the initiative to serve it, and this would be the case. When Nianhan heard this, he was overjoyed and followed the plan. The next day, Nianhan sent a message to Kaifeng Prefecture to open the warehouse to collect rice, and then deliberately set it up.

The venue Boyi gold can buy four dou of rice every liang, and one dou of silver every liang. Seeing that the Jurchens had already been stationed outside the city, they had turned their backs on the enemy and showed no sign of retreating. The people in the city were more concerned about survival, in order to survive.

, do not starve to death, no matter how high the price is, you must be "tolerated" and "recognized".

Now Kaifeng Prefecture has opened a large granary to stabilize the prices of rice and provide relief to hungry people. How can it not make them happy? No matter how deep the gold and silver are hidden, it is not very safe. If these unsafe factors are replaced with food, you will not feel panic if you have food at home.

At that time, it was sweet to eat and peaceful to sleep. As for who would serve as the emperor of Zhao’s family, it would not be too late to care after eating. People were in the same heart, and the people took deep gold, silver and other things to buy rice.

As a result, Zong Han even suspected that Song Chen in the city was not effective and intentionally deceived. Mei Zhili and four others promised that the letter of the letter had not been dried, and they could only speak out in the face of the questioning. Zong Han sent someone to take the four out of the city.

In addition, they were beaten to death with a big stick. In addition, the Song ministers responsible for urging each carried fifty whips. The old and weak censor Hu Tang could not bear it and was beaten to death. The four died of unlawful deaths, with different bodies and heads

The Jurchens sent another message and asked the four families to use gold and silk to redeem the bodies. The other people returned to the city and cried.

Immediately afterwards, Zonghan sent a special envoy to the city to preside over the affairs of Gen Kuo. This new member of the imperial family was the descendant of the Jin Dynasty. When he took office, he showed that Zhuo Erqun was not violent. First of all, he put a big stick on his shoulder.

Keep it at hand, in order to increase the deterrence, his subordinates also placed weapons such as swords and guns on several cases to intimidate the Song people.

The new official took office for three reasons, and soon, the man became famous inside and outside the capital. A Song official was beaten by his subordinates on the spot because of the small amount of money given, in order to "kill the powerful stick"

Another Song Guan didn't like him in his eyes. He immediately pulled him over and slapped him in the face. The Song Guan was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and then he stopped.

If this man was in a bad mood one day, he would first sit in front of Nanxun Gate and order the Song officials to bow down and listen to the training, pointing to the sky and the earth, and yelling loudly for a long time. The Song people did not know why he got angry, let alone not

Knowing what the "Mr." is saying. Everyone in Song Shimin looked at him sideways. He knew that what he said was definitely not a good thing, but everyone dared not speak out. Seeing this, the people in the city were even more frightened and did not know.

When will the nightmare end...

The Jin army had captured Bianjing City for more than half a month in a blink of an eye, and the Jurchens were braver. They could not help but start to disobey the military orders and take advantage of the black city to plunder and burn and kill the people, which made the soldiers and people in the city even more frightened. They all speculated that the Jurchens were doing this.

The intention is not about gold and silk, but about "the drunkard's intention is not about wine"!

When Zhao Huan heard the fierce feelings in the city, he hurriedly sent an order to comfort him, hoping that the scholars and people in the city would wait for the heaven to mercy as he did. The Jurchens were very kind-hearted. However, the people did not think so. Now the government cannot protect themselves, and the swords and guns were taken away.

How to care about the common people in the city? It is better to prevent problems yourself. So some residents in the city began to build swords, spears and weapons, ready to protect their small property.

It is said that "Go protects the three zhai and protects the three villages well." There are many heroes and righteous people in the city of Bianjing. They also spontaneously organized the streets to patrol the streets and protect their neighbors. They will go down to the city to capture the Jin army at night.

He killed a lot. The news reached the ears of the Song court ministers and was panicked. If the Jin people blamed them, no one would have been punished.

So Kaifeng Prefecture issued a notice to the people that those who dared to gather crowds to promote chaos and privately build military orders would capture the government and punish them with great importance to the law. They also searched all over the city and arrested some Song people who built military weapons and gathered crowds to form associations, and immediately beheaded 17 of them.

On the thoroughfare.

Looking at the military use in the late Northern Song Dynasty, all of them were not strict, and the military discipline and national laws were as if they were useless. Those who fled at the battle were not severely punished, those who died in battle were not given any pensions, and rewards and punishments were unclear. The military discipline was dispersed. When confronting the Jin people, they either fled in sight or collapsed at once.

If you make a slight victory, you will be a lie and deceive the enemy, and treat the war as a joke. Treating the soldiers and people in the city is cruel and arrogant, you will be arrested and act decisively, and kill the poor with a hideous face.

These seventeen people were originally from the city, and the leader was Li Bao, known as Xiao Guansuo, and most of the other sixteen people were his disciples. Everyone in the city was in danger, so they stood up to protect the people in the city from being free.

Bullying by the Jin people, but I didn't know that I didn't die on a snowy night when I was going to fight with the Jurchens, but I was rectified by the "relevant departments" in Loan City. My body and head are different. It is true that men should be self-improvement, but they don't know that the country is not strong, and good men occasionally

If you become stronger once, you will die tragically at the hands of your own people!

Although the officials in Kaifeng City held their breath in front of the Jurchens and did not dare to speak loudly, they were still unscrupulous in front of the soldiers and the people in the city. Their bloody suppression of the common people was also surprised by the Jin people.

At this time, the common people were not only asking for blessings and praying to the sky, but also sitting at home waiting for death...

In the past few days, Zhao Huan and his ministers have been sending the plundered gold and silver into the golden camp in a cart, but it has not reached one tenth of the agreed amount. Prime Minister He Li and the Minister of Personnel.

Li Ruoshui had to go to the Jin camp to beg for mercy again. The second general of Jin Kingdom knew that they were coming to beg for the reduction of the amount of gold and silver. In fact, they knew in their hearts that after several excavations and three feet of ground, the gold and silver in Tokyo had been scraped.

Almost done,

"If the gold and silver in the capital have been exhausted, this matter cannot be discussed." Zong Han pondered for a moment and said, "There are three major events agreed in the peace agreement between the two countries: one, to cut the land north of the Yellow River; two, to compensate for gold and silver, mules and horses.

, silk piece; 3. Give the title of the Great Golden Emperor a title. Now you don’t cut the compensation, and you have paid less than one-tenth of the gold and silver, and you have not received the title. If you don’t fulfill any of the things, you will need to reduce the gold and silver

, I'm afraid it's unreasonable."

"You said the emperor had issued an edict, and the governors of all prefectures and counties resisted the edict, and you had no choice but to pay compensation. You said that the amount was huge, and the gold and silver in the capital had been exhausted, and you could not do anything. Give me the Great Golden Emperor the title, you

I won’t be able to do anything and can’t do anything. Three things: You choose to fulfill one of them yourself, and you can discuss the other things again.” Han Li Bu took over and said.

Seeing that Wanyan Nianhan's tone had loosened, He Li and Li Ruoshui were both happy and nervous, afraid of losing the opportunity, so they looked at each other. They all understood in their hearts that giving the Emperor of Great Jin was the most insignificant thing.

After choosing this, I didn't know that I had jumped into the trap of the Jurchens again.

"As long as you agree to the marriage between the two countries, you can discuss the reduction of gold and silver." Wanyan Wuli said suddenly.

"We are ministers, and we cannot ask for such things." He Li was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly replied.

"Then please ask your emperor to come here to discuss the marriage. If the marriage is successful, we will be a family. It will be easier to discuss the reduction of gold and silver." Wanyan Oli said unfairly.

"If the two countries are married, they will not meet again in the future, and the world will finally be peaceful from now on." Zonghan nodded, "You don't have to ask for this matter. The emperor discusses with the second general of the Jin Kingdom. The Great Jin Emperor with the second general of the Jin Kingdom.

When he was honored, the second prince would naturally ask the emperor for his request.”···

After He Li and Li Ruoshui returned to the city, they reported to Zhao Huan that the second general of the Jin Kingdom wanted to ask the emperor to leave the city in person and discuss the matter of giving the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty a title.

"I still want to go to the Jin camp?" Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard about it.

"As long as Your Majesty goes to the Jin camp in person, the amount of gold and silver will be reduced, and the Jin Kingdom can withdraw its troops as soon as possible." Li Ruoshui said.

"Do I have to go in person?" Zhao Huan frowned.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the second general of the Jin Kingdom will definitely not make things difficult for Your Majesty." He Li and Li Ruoshui could see that Zhao Huan was unwilling to take risks again, so He Li hurriedly said.

"In my opinion, what the Jin people wanted was land, gold and silver, and there was no intention to destroy the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty went in person. First, he could show sincerity; second, he could make a decision on the spot. The firewood and rice in the capital were about to be over, and the people could not live in poverty. I really couldn't do it anymore.

I sent envoys to travel back and forth, but I had to discuss it for a long time. If I delayed, I was afraid that there would be chaos in the capital." Li Ruoshui also said.

"Let me think twice..." Zhao Huan nodded, then shook his head again and said. He thought about it for a day and a night, but still couldn't make up his mind.

"Your Majesty does not have to go out in person, you just need to write an affidavit of the title of Emperor Dajin and let the prime minister go. I don't know what the holy thought?" When Zhao Huan was still in a dilemma, the second general of the Jin Kingdom sent envoys again.

He came to deliver a letter and asked Zhao Huan to go out of the city again to discuss the title of Emperor Dajin. The envoy had already received instructions and said lightly.

After hearing this, Zhao Huan made up his mind that if the Second General of Jin Dynasty wanted to detain me, he would have insisted that I leave the city in person. But now the envoy of Jin Dynasty also said that I don’t have to go out in person, and it seems that there is no intention to detain him. Besides, He Li

If the timid prime minister was not absolutely sure, he would not dare to persuade me to leave the city.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan calmed down and announced that he would go out of the city tomorrow to discuss with the Jin army, allowing He Su to accompany him. He Li was overjoyed when he heard this. When he thought that the peace agreement was about to be reached, the Song Dynasty was about to escape from the sky, He Li's long-term depression suddenly came to an end.

Get comfortable.

Zhao Huan was not as relaxed as He Li. He secretly summoned the Privy Councilor Sun Fu at night and appointed Sun Fu as the one who stayed in Tokyo. He shed tears and said to Sun Fu: "I am worried that this trip will be unexpected, but there is not enough gold and silver. The second kingdom of Jin was

The general will surely kill and loot the soldiers. I have no choice but to leave the city and keep the crown prince to supervise the country. If there is any accident, I will entrust my funeral to you..."

"Even if I am broken, I dare not let Your Majesty down..." Sun Fu kowtowed and kowtowed, taking over the heavy task of entrusting his or her orphan.

"I entered the Jin camp, and my life and death are all controlled by the Jin people. You can recruit brave and dead people to protect the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince in times of crisis!" Zhao Heng reminded again, but he still thought of leaving a note for his family.

root…

On the tenth day of the second month, Zhao Huan's carriage drove out of the city from Nanxun Gate again. Prince Zhao Kai of Yun, Prime Minister He Li, consul Feng and Cao Fu, Minister of Personnel Li Ruoshui, Hanlin scholar Wu, Mo Qi, and Sun Qi, the secretary of the Secretariat.

More than a dozen ministers, including Tan Shi, Minister of Rites, Wang Zao, Deputy Commander of the Cavaliers, Guo Zhongxun, and more than a dozen ministers, accompanied him and went out of Nanxun Gate to Qingcheng.

Hearing that the officials' family had left the city again, the people came to see them off one after another. They were praying in their hearts, hoping that the emperor would reduce the gold and silver and withdraw the troops during this trip. They also sincerely wished their emperor, after all, the emperor was for the sake of

This is the second time that the people have entered the tiger's den.

In the afternoon, the people who were waiting for the emperor's return at the city gate suddenly saw the emperor's Yi Guard returning. The crowd immediately cheered, and the emperor was back so soon. But the news brought back by Yi Guard was immediately extinguished like a basin of ice water.

With the enthusiasm they had just ignited, the Second General of the Jin Kingdom reduced the number of Zhao Huanyi Guards, and sent back more than 700 people in advance, leaving only 300 guards.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly had an ominous premonition. The Nanxun door, who was still jubilant just now, became quiet...
