Wang Lin finally understood why Emperor Chongzhen of the late Ming Dynasty sent the woman away before hanging himself, and then went on his way with peace of mind.
I finally understand why the history teacher in my previous life always brought private information in class, talking about ancient wars, especially wars related to dynasty changes. The saddest ones were probably the women of the royal family.
After winning the war, her husband expanded his harem and had more love rivals.
After losing the war, he became a trophy of the enemy camp and was rewarded to unknown men in the enemy camp.
This is lucky. If they were not beautiful and were sent into exile, those delicate royal women might have disappeared along the way.
God knows where it went. No one cared whether it was divided up by the soldiers on the way. During the carving process, it might have been torn into eight pieces...
There have been countless cruel conquest wars in history. The men on the losing side were basically slaughtered, and only the women could stay and continue to suffer.
At that time, if you were caught, there was no mercy. You could do whatever you wanted, men were tragic and women were miserable.
Wang Lin was quite satisfied.
But when he turned around, he saw Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan kneeling at his feet in fear. At this moment, they didn't even bother to dress neatly, so they were about to kneel and lick themselves.
He was extremely complicated.
Wang Lin couldn't help but hugged these two poor Liao women and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid. I will treat you well and at least keep you safe throughout your life."
Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan finally got the promise they wanted, and couldn't help but feel sad and cried on the ground.
So Liang Hongyu, who was waiting at the door, thought that Wang Lin had done something evil. The bullying made the two women cry, and finally couldn't help but rush in.
But she immediately ran out again with a red face.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan fell asleep in Wang Lin's tent.
For the first time in months, they slept peacefully.
Wang Lin walked out of the tent and saw Liang Hongyu standing at the tent with her lips pouting, looking up at the stars. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hongyu, what are you looking at?"
Liang Hongyu looked back at Wang Lin with complex beautiful eyes: "Your Majesty, they are already pitiful enough. Don't bully them in the future..."
Wang Lin spread his hands and asked curiously: "When did I bully them?"
"Why are they crying?"
"Hongyu, sometimes, being able to cry is also a kind of happiness..." Wang Lin sighed.
Liang Hongyu was startled, and then she remembered that along the way, Xiao Duolilai and these women from the Liao clan were depressed and depressed, their behavior was numb, and their hearts were filled with despair...
Liang Hongyu said "oh" and lowered her head.
"Walk with me..."
Wang Lin conveniently went to hold Liang Hongyu's hand.
Liang Hongyu was stunned, and before she could react, Wang Lin grabbed her hand, half pushed her, and followed him towards the depths of the military camp.
…
Liaojing, Youzhou.
Wanyan Zongwang glared at Jin Wushu, who was Wanyan Zongbi with a smile on his face.
Wanyan Zongbi chuckled and said: "Second brother, why are you so angry? Then Wang Lin made a surprise attack and won by luck, so what?"
"Actually, the fourth brother thinks that what you should not do the most, second brother, is not that your subordinates were defeated by Wang Lin, but that you were deceived by Zhang Shuye and did not see through the Song people's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and gave the Song people away in vain.
A lot of good horses!”
Wanyan Zongwang's heart was filled with shame and anger.
He led a large army to attack the Liao territory with overwhelming force, and the Liao people were all invincible. However, he accidentally lost Jingzhou and was deceived by Wang Lin's little trick. Not only did he lose 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he also gave away tens of thousands of Wang Lin's good horses.
Wanyan Zongbi saw Wanyan Zongwang's attitude of turning against him, so he quickly changed the subject: "Second brother, it doesn't really matter. Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist. I have an invincible army, so these words are not nonsense."
"In one month, our army will be able to control the entire territory of the Liao people. I estimate that our army will be repaired for more than a year at most. Then we can divide our troops into two groups, attack Taiyuan along the way, and attack Hebei along the way. Second brother, you and I might as well fight
Let’s make a bet to see who among us can capture the capital of Song Dynasty first!”
Wanyan Zongwang sneered: "I am still attacking Taiyuan as usual. The most brave people in the Song Dynasty are the Western Army. I have chewed the hardest bone. I will leave the rest to you, fourth brother. The Hebei Army is just a showpiece."
, if you can’t even take down Zhang Shuye, how can you have the face to compete with someone for the Central Plains!”
Wanyan Zongbi exclaimed: "Second brother, don't forget that there is Wang Lin! But I heard that he has an army of 150,000, so we shouldn't underestimate him."
Wanyan Zongwang curled his lips: "If you don't dare, then change with someone!"
Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said: "This is all for another time. Let's talk about it later. It's just that this time Wu Qibuy went to Song Dynasty to see what the peace talks can produce."
Wanyan Zongwang sighed: "My father is also confused. What a nonsense! The Liao Kingdom has been destroyed. We, the Jin Dynasty, can only attack the Song Dynasty if we drive straight in. Why should we negotiate with the Song Dynasty? Does it make sense to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty now?"
The original Jin-Song alliance was because the Jin State did not know whether the Song people were real or not, and wanted to count on the Song State to assist the Jin people in attacking the Liao Dynasty.
But now that the Liao Dynasty has been destroyed, most people in the Jin Dynasty strongly oppose Wu Qiu's peace talks.
Wanyan Zongbi smiled: "Wu Qimai advocated peace talks, not because he was afraid of the Song Dynasty, nor because he wanted to stop fighting, but because he was worried that you and I would join hands and invade the Song Dynasty. When the time comes, you and I would declare ourselves kings, and he
Can't control it."
Wanyan Zongwang's eyes flashed.
But no more words.
As the princes of Jin Taizu Aguda, they have a natural conflict with Aguda's successor Wu Qimai.
Wu Qimai must have been very opposed to them launching a war of aggression against the Song Dynasty.
As Wanyan Zongbi said, it was not that Wu Qimai was afraid of the Song Dynasty, but that he was worried about the instability of his throne.
This is something that almost the entire top brass of the Jin Kingdom knows very well.
…
Jinguo, Suzhou.
Several large ships set sail. Wu Qimai, the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, stood on the board of the ship, looking at Qingzhou of the Song Dynasty across the vast sea with a solemn expression.
His planned trip to send to the Song Dynasty was almost canceled due to the destruction of the Liao Kingdom.
There was a lot of opposition in the Jin Kingdom. If his brother Aguda had not insisted, he would not have been able to start the journey.
Suddenly a clear female voice came from behind him: "Uncle."
Wu Qimai turned around and looked behind him.
Dressed in Jurchen attire and even armor, her niece was very beautiful. Her face was still beautiful, but there was a hint of tenderness on her pretty face. Wu Qimai knew it was for the sake of the child in her belly.
Wu Qimai cast his eyes on her bulging belly.
Who would have thought that Wanyan Shili and Wang Lin's one-night romance would actually produce offspring.
"Shili, you are heavy, so you should go back to the cabin to take care of yourself. It's windy outside." Wu Qimai said with a smile.
"Uncle, I'm fine. Now I'm going back to the Song Dynasty and Qingzhou. I'm afraid my uncle's peace talks with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will be of no avail. My brothers are all trying their best to attack the Song Dynasty."
Wu Qimai sighed: "They think that the Song Dynasty is too weak. The Song Dynasty occupies thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, rich lands, and the national power accumulated over hundreds of years cannot be destroyed easily."
"Besides Zongshi Dao, there is also Wang Lin. By the way, Shili, when I go to Qingzhou this time, you stay with Wang Lin and don't follow me back home again."
"It's just that I, Da Jin, and Song Dynasty will have a battle sooner or later. I don't know how you will deal with it..."
Wanyan Shili looked quietly at the other end of the sea, holding his lower abdomen, smiling without saying a word.
