Chapter 359 Zhao Ji's Hengjian Wants to Kill Himself(1/2)
Chapter 359 Zhao Ji is about to kill himself with his sword
At this time, Qingzhou had not yet experienced the turmoil caused by the invasion of Jin soldiers.
In the fertile fields outside the city, the potatoes that Wang Lin arranged to plant had a large harvest. Qingzhou Prefecture is arranging for farmers to harvest, and is preparing to use these tens of thousands of kilograms of potatoes as seeds again soon after the rain.
Plant again.
Yesterday, Wang Lin ordered someone to send to Qingzhou a batch of corn seeds that he had just redeemed.
Corn and potatoes are high-yielding crops that can greatly alleviate the Song Army's food crisis in the future.
The food and various materials that Murong Wan'er mobilized from Huainan, the southeast and overseas have been continuously transported to Dengzhou and then to Qingzhou through the newly opened sea channel.
The war was about to begin, and the secret workshops established outside Qingzhou City, as well as the Bohai Company's snowflake salt, sugar, chicken essence and other workshops were all in a state of continuous operation.
Overseas, Chao Gailu Zhishen led the Ruan brothers and others, together with some soldiers of the navy, gathered tens of thousands of troops, and had already crossed the sea in the name of pirates.
For the time being, we will be stationed in Wang Lin's enclave in Goryeo as our base camp.
The important missions of Chao Gai and the Liangshan troops were, on the one hand, to harass the coast of the Jin Kingdom so that the Jin people would not use all their strength to mobilize their troops south to invade the Song Dynasty; on the other hand, they were to protect the maritime trade caravans of the Bohai Sea merchants and ensure the sea and land logistics and transportation supply lines.
Smooth and safe.
To Wang Lin's expectation, Chao Gai and others also took in many wandering Koreans and foreigners overseas, such as the Khitan people wandering overseas.
The banner of "King of Zhenhai" was raised, and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
In early July, Chao Gai tentatively attacked Jin Kingdom Suzhou.
That is the Dalian coast in later generations.
The Jin Kingdom only had a force of less than a thousand households in Suzhou. More than 10,000 pirate Zhenhai Wang raided, beheaded hundreds of Jin people, set fire to loot, burned the city of Suzhou, and returned home with a full load.
The Kingdom of Jin was shaken.
Of course, compared with the bloody battle between the two countries in the Song Dynasty, these movements of Chao Gai overseas were nothing.
At this time, the population of Qing Rai Prefecture had expanded several times compared to before.
First, the prosperity of Qinglai attracted countless merchants and immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River.
Secondly, there are 100,000 family members of Qingzhou Army, thousands of family members of Liangshan people, and people who have immigrated and relocated from various states on Jingdong East Road, causing the population in Qinglai to expand densely.
The increase in population has brought economic and commercial prosperity, and also laid a solid foundation for Wang Lin's war preparations.
Business thrives.
From the perspective of Zhao Gou, who had been in Qingzhou for a long time, Qingzhou City became increasingly prosperous and unknowingly became one of the most important cities in the Song Dynasty.
The city that originally had a population of hundreds of thousands has long since exceeded one million, and the city has continued to expand in the past two years.
On the actually fertile Jiangbei Plain, vast tracts of wilderness have been gradually developed into fertile fields in the past two years, and it is now the wheat harvest season.
Wanyan Shili had been in Qingzhou for several months and was about to give birth.
Han Yan and other girls gathered in Wanyan Shili's room, chatting with her and comforting her for being alone in the Song Dynasty.
When he heard that Jin invaded the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Shili couldn't help but sigh.
It was Pan Jinlian who let slip the words.
Originally, the palace was hiding the secret from Wanyan Shili.
"Sisters, you don't have to worry. Shili knows it all. I have already given up my identity as the princess of the Kingdom of Jin since I came to your husband."
"I told Lang Jun that day that if the Jin Dynasty and Song Dynasty went to war, both sides would have their own abilities. If all my royal brothers were defeated by Lang Jun, it would be because of their lack of ability. It was destined to be like this..."
Han Yan and the other girls all remained strangely silent.
The Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty, and they were the enemies of the Song Dynasty.
But Wanyan Shili is Wang Lin's woman.
Wanyan Shili looked around at the girls, smiled, but said nothing.
Han Yan quickly changed the awkward topic, and the girls began to discuss eagerly that Wanyan Shili was going to give birth to a boy or a girl. Wanyan Shili smiled and said nothing.
She gently stroked her bulging belly. She did not mention the long conversation the high priest had with her before coming to Song Dynasty.
The high priest said that her son with the divine envoy would be the future king of the grassland, the inheritor of the Jurchen bloodline, and the successor of the high priest.
And the divine envoy is Wang Lin.
She will give birth to a child.
She was convinced.
…
Huazhou.
Yan Qing hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, good news! Hua Rong is in Jinan Prefecture, working with Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, to fight against the Jin. Huang Xin is in Zizhou, and has also defeated the Jin soldiers' siege one after another. Now ten thousand Jin soldiers have rushed westward.
Withdraw, Qinglai is not in danger for now!"
Wang Lin was ecstatic.
But his expression immediately changed, and he frowned and said, "Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture?"
How could he not know about Liu Yu?
Big traitor.
Pseudo Qi Emperor.
One of the puppet leaders supported by the Jin people.
Acting as a tiger's aid brings disaster to the country and the people.
But it is clear that it has not yet entered the stage of history.
Wang Lin felt murderous intent in his heart.
He muttered: "Xiao Yi, please order Hua Rong to keep an eye on this Liu Yu. I will make my own arrangements in the future."
Killing will naturally prevent future troubles, but Liu Yu has not committed any crime at this moment. In the face of a powerful enemy, killing one's own officials without permission will have too great a negative impact.
Yan Qing didn't know why Wang Lin paid so much attention to an official from Jinan Prefecture, so he bowed and accepted the order and left.
Wang Lin turned to look at Liang Hongyu's pretty face and chuckled: "Hongyu, let's go, go back and have a rest and drink with me!"
Wang Lin took the lead to walk down the tower.
Liang Hongyu's face turned slightly red and followed closely behind.
…
Tokyo.
Yanfu Palace, Yongdeok Palace.
Seeing that the ministers were divided into two groups, noisy and arguing, Zhao Ji's face turned red. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I am still here, but you have behaved disrespectfully in front of the king. Where do you put me?"
Zhao Ji was furious, and suddenly snatched his shining Emperor's Sword from the hands of the eunuch Huang Kun, and walked down Danqi holding it upside down.
The ministers were shocked and immediately stopped quarreling.
Li Gang frowned and looked at Wu Min quickly.
The emperor has become more and more deviant recently, and he has really lost all dignity as a king of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji suddenly put his sword under his neck and said coldly: "I have made up my mind. I want to move south, first to Yingtian Mansion, and then to Jiangnan. If you feel embarrassed, I can give the throne to the prince in the name of the Supreme Emperor.
, patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, is this okay?"
"If you don't agree, I will kill myself with my sword today!"
The courtiers roared.
Tang Ke and others knelt on the ground, wept bitterly and began to remonstrate.
Li Gang and Wu Min sighed and knelt down silently.
Zongze was so angry that he didn't believe that Zhao Ji dared to commit suicide.
But as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he threatened death and insisted on moving south. As a minister, what else could he say?
Zongze kowtowed to the ground angrily and said in a loud voice: "Officials, with all this going on, where is the state body of the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Ji sneered in his heart, if his life was at risk, why would he use the state body of the Song Dynasty? Is the state body a living thing?
Zhao Ji looked at Zongze coldly. He became more and more disgusted with Zongze. When the Jin soldiers retreated in the future, the first person he wanted to kill would be Zongze.
"Now there are only two ways. One, the ministers and the imperial court will follow me to move south, and the fight against the Jin Dynasty will be gradually planned; the other is, I will give the throne to the prince, and I will lead my troops to patrol the south of the Yangtze River alone. This is the defense of Tokyo and the fight against the Jin Dynasty.
The great cause of gold will be handed over to the new king and all his ministers!"
The sharp Emperor Sword in Zhao Ji's hand trembled slightly.
He held his sword across his neck and looked coldly at the ministers.
Li Gang, Wu Min, and Zongze were so angry that their whole bodies were shaking, and their minds went blank.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty, the majestic emperor, threatened the court in this way, just to escape for his life.
