==========
Wanyan Loushi hurried to Wanyan Zonghan’s residence. Although Wanyan Zonghan was under house arrest, he had a high prestige in the army, and even the soldiers who were in charge of monitoring him turned a blind eye to some of his affairs.
In the study room, Wanyan Zonghan’s tall body stood in front of the window, and said coldly: “It’s no use just his promise!”
“I know, I’ll get this for the General!”
Wanyan Loushi took out a gold-cast Golden Wolf Token and put it on the table. Wanyan Zonghan turned his head and saw the Golden Wolf Token, his eyes lit up immediately.
This is the Golden Wolf Head Order issued by Taizu Wanyan Aguda. Now it only has a symbolic effect, but Wanyan Zonghan knows that with his own prestige, and with this Wolf Head Order, he will be able to instigate most of the army.
“What does Wushu say?” Wanyan Zonghan asked again.
“Wu Shu still has 3,000 troops in his hands, and will enter the city at 1 o’clock tonight!”
After Yan Zonghan nodded slowly, Jin Guo’s last fight was tonight. He knew that Jin Guo’s situation was over, but no matter what, he would never let Jin Guo surrender to the Song army. He would rather die in battle than surrender.
…….
That night, a civil war broke out in Huining City in Shangjing. Wanyan Bi led his army into the city and was spotted by the defenders. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides at the south gate. Wanyan Zonghan rushed to the West Camp to instigate twenty thousand troops. The mansion of Wanyan Zongpan and his family were all killed.
Wan Yan Zongjun led 30,000 forbidden troops to arrive, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in Shangjing City. The people of Shangjing also came out to assist Wanyan Zonghan, and the entire Shangjing City fell into civil war.
The flames were raging, and the imperial palace and nearby palaces and houses were all turned into a sea of flames.
At this time, Wanyan Xi Nilie, who was stationed outside the city, also led 20,000 troops to the south city and surrounded Wanyan Zongbi’s 3,000 troops. Wanyan Zongbi’s army was outnumbered and the entire army was wiped out. .
Wanyan Xi Nilie immediately entered the city and massacred tens of thousands of Jin Guo people who assisted Wanyan Zonghan.
This tragic internal strife did not end until noon on the third day. Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyan Xinilie had the upper hand and finally won the victory. All the 20,000 troops who followed Wanyan Zonghan’s rebellion were killed. Wanyan Zonghan committed suicide in grief and anger. Wanyan Lou Shi also died in the chaos.
The main battlefield of this civil strife was near the imperial palace, and the ministers and clans living in this area were not spared. Most of the clansmen and officials were killed or injured, and more than 60,000 innocent people died in the war, which was almost 100% of the population of the clan in Shangjing. Thirty percent, including the imperial palace, half of the entire building in Shangjing City was burned down.
At the same time, the Song army marched northward from Liaoyang Mansion. Just three days after the end of the civil war, an army of 500,000 troops surrounded Shangjing.
. . . . . . .
At this time, there were only 20,000 soldiers left in Shangjing City. Their morale was low and their morale collapsed. Soldiers continued to take off their military uniforms and fled to the civilian population. The defense system of Shangjing City was also destroyed. The two-mile-long palace wall was also burnt and collapsed hundreds of feet. It can be said that the Song army can enter the city at any time.
The Song army set up a camp one mile away, and the camp surrounded the entire city.
Li Yanqing stood in front of the camp gate and watched Shangjing City. He sighed and said to the crowd: “Six years ago, Jin soldiers surrounded Bianliang. I still remember it vividly. But I never thought that we would surround Shangjing six years later. It is God’s will that makes people irresistible!”
Liu Kai admired the coach’s strategy of killing three soldiers with two peaches, and successfully provoked internal strife in the Kingdom of Jin with only a letter of surrender conditions.
Liu Kai was a little puzzled and asked: “The golden soldiers have weakened rapidly in the past year, and they are all handsome. What’s the reason for this?”
This is not only Liu Kai’s question, almost all generals have this confusion.
Li Yanqing smiled slightly and said: “Let’s use a popular analogy. The Kingdom of Jin is like a nouveau riche who annexed the Kingdom of Liao. The former poor boy suddenly became rich, and then he spent money like water. He only knows how to spend money and enjoy himself, but he doesn’t know how to increase income and reduce expenditure. He broke into the big family next door and robbed him. He smashed the valuables of the big family to pieces and took away only a few copper coins. Later, when the money was almost squandered, he ran to the big family again, but he couldn’t get anything. Instead, he was beaten. Fuck the shit, at this time, he spent all the wealth he gained from his sudden wealth, so he showed his true colors of shabby and poor.”
Everyone laughed loudly, “It turns out that the Kingdom of Jin is what it really is!”
Li Yanqing asked again: “Let me ask everyone, what is the most valuable thing about a big family?”
Everyone was silent for a moment, Yue Fei laughed and said, “It should be a human being!”
Li Yanqing nodded, “Yue Dutong is right. The most precious wealth is people. If Jin Guo enters Hebei without any crime, loves the people, and maintains order, then he will receive a steady stream of taxes. It is a pity that robbers are robbers, wealth comes and goes quickly, and there is not enough population to support them. This is the root cause of the defeat of the Jin Kingdom. In the final analysis, the national strength is far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty.”
Just as he was talking, a soldier rushed over and said, “Du Shuai Qi reported that an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin came outside the gate of the camp, not the one from last time.”
“Let him in!”
After a while, the soldiers brought in a person, and Li Yanqing recognized this person as Xiao Zhonggong who had been to the Song Dynasty several times.
“It turned out to be Xiao Shilang, don’t come here without any problems!”
Xiao Zhonggong stepped forward and knelt down and wept: “The Kingdom of Jin is about to perish. I beg Your Highness to forgive the people and stop massacres.”
“Who is in charge of the city, is the little emperor still alive?”
“Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyan Xinilie are in charge. The little emperor is still alive, but his injuries are very serious. The other clans are almost dead. Killing each other, what a crime!”
Li Yanqing nodded, “Go back and tell Wan Yan Zongjun that they have an hour to lead their troops out of the city and surrender, otherwise my army will enter the city without leaving anyone behind!”
Xiao Zhonggong repeatedly agreed, “I’ll go back to my humble job!”
Xiao Zhonggong was anxious, and immediately rode back to the city to report.
Half an hour later, the southern city of Shangjing City opened wide, and groups of Jin soldiers went out of the city to surrender. They took off their armor, put down their weapons, and sat down in a field led by soldiers of the Song Army.
After 20,000 soldiers surrendered, more than 20 clansmen and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin came out, and hundreds of people died in the civil war. This is the only remaining four clans and more than 20 officials. Of course, there are many officials Fleeing from Shangjing, where he is nowhere to be found.
In front of the team was a 12-year-old boy, who was the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Quan. He was carried out, and hundreds of rebels rushed into the palace to loot him. He was stabbed through the body by a soldier, although He didn’t die, but he was seriously injured. Whether he can survive is still a question.
The other ministers were naked and knelt in front of Li Yanqing’s war horse. Wanyan Zongjun held up the jade seal of the Kingdom of Jin and shouted: “The Kingdom of Jin is willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty and be a slave forever!”
A personal soldier stepped forward to take the jade seal, Li Yanqing nodded and asked, “How many people are there in Shangjing?”
“There are more than 100,000 people!”
At this time, Wanyan Quan said in a low voice: “I implore Your Highness to forgive the people, and I will bear all the sins!”
Li Yanqing saw that his face was as pale as paper, his breath was dying, and his vitality had been exhausted. He probably wouldn’t survive tonight.
Li Yanqing said casually: “Do you know why the grassland coalition forces have not withdrawn from Linhuang Mansion?”
The faces of the people changed drastically. They were not afraid of the Song Dynasty, but the grassland coalition forces. Those people were more ferocious than wolves. If they fell into their hands, life would be worse than death.
Li Yanqing said again: “Except for the population of Liaoyang Mansion and Shangjing, the grassland tribes in other places will take it away, so if the people in Shangjing City want to go south to Liaoyang Mansion, then go south immediately. If they are willing to be robbed by the grassland tribes, I will also There is no way.”
Li Yanqing said to more than 20 Jin officials: “You go to the city and inform!”
More than 20 officials were terrified. They rushed into the city to inform the people in the city. Immediately, 50,000 Song troops entered the city and began to move the materials in the treasury of the Kingdom of Jin. Although the Kingdom of Jin was in decline, there were still millions of taels of gold in the treasury. And tens of millions of taels of silver, mainly from the Liao and Song dynasties.
It’s a pity that there are only gold and silver, but there are no corresponding materials, and these gold and silver have become decorations.
When the news came that the prairie army was about to kill and plunder, the people in Shangjing City panicked and fled to Liaoyang Mansion with their families. Soon there was a mighty fleeing team on the official road, guarded by 20,000 Song Army cavalry. Follow them south.
Wang Gui looked at the people of Shangjing who were on the official road for more than a dozen miles, and asked Li Yanqing, “How does the commander-in-chief plan to deal with these people of the Kingdom of Jin?”
Li Yanqing smiled, “There are about 20 people in the Liao State Mansion, and 150,000 people here, plus those who fled to Liaoyang from other places, there are about 500,000 people in the end. I have collected information before, five Among the 100,000 people, Khitans and Hans accounted for the majority, and the Jurchens actually only accounted for about 30 percent. After the grassland army retreated westward, some of these people moved north, and some stayed in Liaoyang to farm for the people.”
“Then what should we do with these humble soldiers?” Wang Gui asked, looking at the surrendered gold soldiers in the distance.
Li Yanqing said coldly: “First screen, Jin soldiers who have been to the Song Dynasty will be executed, and soldiers who have not been to the Song Dynasty will be dispatched to Liaoyang Mansion to mine iron ore. After three years, they will be freed!”
“The humble job understands!”
That night, Wan Yanquan, the young emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, died of serious injuries in the camp of the Song army. He was only twelve years old. Li Yanqing changed him to be the king of Bohai County and allowed him to be buried with the ceremony of a king.
And at this moment, an angry news came from the north.
