Chapter 377 Zhao Gou: Thousands of people in my Great Song Dynasty should fight to the death
Chapter 377 Zhao Gou: I, thousands of people in the Song Dynasty, will fight to the death
Li Hui left the Yan Prince's Mansion in great great joy.
The King of Yan had agreed to recommend Li Xiang to his hometown in Shandong, Zhucheng, and any county magistrate.
It's also considered returning home in glory.
As for cousin Li Jiong, he also got the desired result.
As an official of the Ministry of Revenue who is proficient in economic affairs, he had the opportunity to serve as deputy envoy of Hebei Transportation and Military Farming Envoy. As one of the logistics system officials of the Hebei Border Army, he was promoted to another level.
Of course, Wang Lin is just recommending it. Whether he can be competent and obtained depends on the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel.
As for Wang Zhongshan and his daughter, they were familiar with Li Qingzhao and got into the thread.
According to Wang Zhongshan's original intention, he directly wanted to keep Wang Yun with Li Qingzhao's side.
But Li Qingzhao didn't like his behavior of sending women to cling to her, so she directly refused.
On the carriage returning to the Wang family, Wang Zhongshan said eagerly with his eyes: "Yun'er, if you can..."
Wang Yun said sadly: "Father, his daughter is married to Qin. Although she is widowed at home, she cannot be shameless. The father asked her daughter to come to the Yan Prince's Mansion today, which has left her face unfair. Do you still force her to sell herself for honor?
Is it?"
"Besides, Wang Lin is the enemy of his daughter who killed her husband. How could his father force his daughter to serve the enemy?"
Wang Zhongshan sneered: "Nonsense! What kind of hatred for killing his husband? Qin Hui was rebelling because he was a traitor. He was in the court that day and attempted to murder the good ministers of the country, but he was killed by the King of Yan with a sword!"
Although Wang Zhongshan was determined to cling to the King of Yan, he could not say that he was wrong.
Wang Yun burst into tears and said in his heart: My father is all about clinging to others, but in his heart, what are you?
But Wang Zhongshan said again: "If Qin Hui and other thieves succeeded that day and harmed the King of Yan, then, if the Jin people invaded today, who would stand up and turn the tide? You, my father and daughter will become slaves of the country."
Wang Yun had tears in her face, but was stunned.
My father's words seem to make some sense...
"You have been married to Qin Hui for a lifetime. Do you still have to live a widow for him for the rest of your life? Besides, the Qin family's disciples were invaded by the four walls. If it weren't for the support of his father, you would have starved to death and would not even be a widow!" Wang Zhongshan scolded again.
.
Wang Yun shed tears and lowered her head, speechless.
At the same time, in another carriage walking in the opposite direction, Li Hui and Li Jiong were talking.
"Brother, I didn't expect that Qingzhao's sister would have such a fate with the King of Yan. Judging from his situation, Qingzhao is very good. Now our Li family will shine on the family because of Qingzhao." Li Jiong said.
"My sister once wrote a letter to me, talking about her marriage with the King of Yan. The poem "You are born and I am not old" and I am crying when I read it. My heart is so happy that I can meet a good man in my life.
.”
Li Jiong looked at Li Hui with a little enviousness. With Wang Lin here, even if Li Hui is fast, he will have a bright future.
Although he is also a cousin, there are still some differences between his cousin and his own brother.
Li Hui said again: "Brother, today I see what my uncle does, it seems to be like giving a girl to cling to her. This is really despicable."
Li Jiong smiled, but did not dare to say more.
Qin Hui died at Wang Lin's hands, and his newlywed wife was so anxious that she wanted to send her to Wang Lin's bed by his father... This kind of thing was so picture-like that he could only think about it in his heart.
The Wang family is so beautiful that countless nobles in the capital like her and want to take her as a concubine was due to the Wang family. Who knows whether Wang Lin will be moved when he sees her, and it is hard to guarantee that she will be moved.
Since ancient times, powerful people have great desires, and all of them are like this.
Li Jiong thought to himself that he heard that the eldest son of the Minister of War, Cui Shicheng, was one of the most beautiful sons of Wang Yun, but if the Wang family clinged to the King of Yan this time, I am afraid that the Cui family would not dare to make any more ideas?
Let’s talk about the Wang family’s father and daughter returning to the Wang family.
Shortly after Qin Hui's death, Wang Yun had to be taken back to her parents' home to live alone because she lost her source of life.
The Wang family, he is not the Wang family of Sanhuaitang. Although he has been the prime minister and belongs to the high school, he has already declined by Wang Zhongshan's generation.
Wang Zhongshan was a small official from the seventh rank in the capital, and he regarded clinging to the King of Yan as a shortcut to the revitalization of the Wang family.
Shortly after entering the door, a servant came to report that Cui Kai, the son of Cui Shicheng, the Minister of War, came to visit.
Wang Zhongshan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
The headquarters of war in the Song Dynasty was very different from that in the previous dynasty.
The Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty was one of the six traditional ministries of the Secretariat. After experiencing the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, its power gradually weakened and only controlled the fence army's reputation and militia.
The military power belonged to the Privy Council, and later it was directly divided into three yamen, with power divided into three systems.
But even so, the Minister of War is still a senior official in the court.
One of the nobles.
Therefore, when a powerful man in the capital took a fancy to his daughter Wang Yun and tried to take him as his concubine, Wang Zhongshan thought about it and chose Cui Kai.
In fact, he had already met Cui Kai and received a gift of 10,000 yuan.
Although it is not stated explicitly, it is also equivalent to a betrothal gift.
But Wang Yun was fiercely repelled.
There is nothing else, because Cui Kai is a famous slutty playboy in Beijing, and it is actually normal for the prodigal sons in the flower field. There are not many powerful children in Tokyo who are not slutty and lustful. There are not many more Cui Kai, and not even any less Cui Kai.
few.
But the key to the problem is that this person is not only beautiful but also Longyang.
It is said that there is also the quirk of raising beauties as an anal dog.
Famous in Tokyo.
How could Wang Yun not be afraid?
But in the past, Wang Zhongshan was greedy for the power of the Cui family, but now, compared with King Yan, the Cui family is nothing.
So he thought of remorse.
Therefore, when he saw Cui Kai again in the main hall of the Wang Family, he directly refused and wanted to return the Cui Family's property.
But who is Cui Kai? Seeing that Wang Zhongshan had turned against him, he immediately turned against him and slapped Wang Zhongshan in public and left.
He also said harshly that he would pick up Wang Yun and pass by three days later.
When Wang Yun heard this in the back hall, she cried bitterly and almost fainted.
She was disheartened for her father's selling her daughter for honor, and she was also scared of being forced to marry her in the future.
The Cui family is just a beast. After marrying him as a widow, he let him do whatever he wants and stubbornly, and he died of trouble in a few days.
...
At this time, the Jin delegation had arrived in the capital.
Wanyan Tong, Zhang Xiaochun and Yelu Kong were the leaders, and more than a hundred guards were guarded.
Wanyan Tong was a royal family member of the Jin Dynasty.
Zhang Xiaochun was a Han minister who surrendered to Yan Yun. It should be emphasized that it was not only Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan at this moment, but only a common name.
Yelu Kong was a Khitan.
The Jin people destroyed Liao, and countless Liao people surrendered, and of course there were also Han people.
Yue Fei sent thousands of troops to escort the Jin people along the way to monitor the Jin people into Beijing.
Along the way, Wanyan Tong became more and more serious.
He had never seen an army like the Fuhu Army.
He crossed Hebei to Henan and actually saw the Song army helping farmers farm. The Hebei prefectures were frantically replanting something called potatoes.
The Song army can be seen from time to time when the houses and villages of the Song people in various places are repaired.
Not only did the army not violate the people, the army also helped the local area to rebuild the war free of charge.
Although Wanyan Tong was a little surprised, he gradually realized that such an army would probably receive the full support of the people of Song.
The Jin people would probably have to pay a heavy price to defeat such an army.
And if the Khitan army was like this, it would be so easy for the Jin people to destroy the Liao Dynasty in the previous period.
"General, "Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of Xiang Yu" says: When I entered the pass, I dared not get close to me. I registered officials and civilians and enfeoffed the treasury, and waited for the general. The biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin also said that Han Xin: When the king entered Wuguan, Qiu Hao
There is no harm, and the Qin people have eliminated the harsh laws and made three rules with the Qin people. All Qin people want to win the great king and Qin."
"This army and horse are like this, I'm afraid it's a strong enemy of our army! It's easy to shake the mountain, but it's difficult to shake the tiger army!" Zhang Xiaochun sighed immediately.
Wanyan Tong said silently.
The Jin Dynasty's armistice agreement and missions entered Beijing.
Wanyan Tong and others who entered from Tongxuan Gate saw the Song army majestic on both sides of the wide Tokyo official road, lined up with swords and guns, but they didn't care.
But in the bleak autumn wind, yellow leaves flying all over the city, and the people of Song Dynasty watching on both sides of the streets were filled with hatred in their eyes, like sharp blades of rain, staring at the Jin people, sweating all over and creepy.
As diplomatic reciprocity, Zhao Gou, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, met with the Jin people in the main hall of the Privy Council, accompanied by Zong Ze, Guan Sheng and some court officials.
As expected, the Jin people put forward five conditions:
First, we asked for five million yuan in gold, five million yuan in silver, million pieces of silk, one hundred thousand kilograms of snowflakes and salt, and one hundred thousand kilograms of white sugar as war compensation.
Second, the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian were cedeed.
Third, he sent a royal prince and prime minister to the Jin Kingdom as hostages. He took the Song Emperor's daughter and married Wanyan Zonghan as his concubine. He chose a thousand Song daughters and became a maid.
Zhao Gou was speechless after hearing this.
This is not a peace request after the defeat, but it is clearly a forced claim for compensation, which is to humiliate the Song Dynasty!
Zong Ze was furious and said, "How arrogant are the people of the Jin Dynasty? Now that your Jin army is defeated, invading our country, slaughtering our people, and asking for compensation from all over the Song Dynasty. This is really a big deception!"
All the officials of the Song Dynasty present were angry.
In fact, it was nothing to pay compensation to the daughter. In the past, Song State had not paid compensation to the Liao people once or twice, but the cedes of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian were the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Tong glanced at Zhang Xiaochun.
Zhang Xiaochun chuckled: "The Zong Xiang doesn't need to be angry, let me tell you."
"Everyone, our army is fighting with the State of Song and will win and lose each other. This is a common matter for military strategists. What's the point?"
"The Song State relies on nothing but Fuhu Army, but as far as I know, Wang Lin's army is only 100,000 horses, and our Dajin can fight the whole country;
Under the emperor's flag, millions of people from the Jin Dynasty could fight. Now our Jin Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Liao territory, and hundreds of thousands of Khitan surrendered troops. If we want to go south in a large scale, will the Song State be able to compete?"
"My Dajin sincerely proposed a peace ceasefire. The reason why I asked for compensation was that my Dajin's tens of thousands of warriors died in Song Tu. My dynasty needed to provide pensions to my family.
If the State of Song refuses to pay compensation, then I, the Great Jin, will be united in the whole country, share the same hatred of the enemy, and bring troops back."
"The Western Army of Song State was besieged Taiyuan by our Great Jin soldiers. If at this moment, our Great Jin will raise another 200,000 troops to move south, and the troops under the command of the King of Yan of your country can be blocked for a while, and will never be able to stop it for a long time.
Therefore, I thought that the State of Song would cease war and negotiate peace. Otherwise, the Khitans would be the lesson of the past."
Zhang Xiaochun glanced at Song Chen, whose face was getting paler and paler, and said lightly.
Except for Zong Ze who was still furious, the Song officials present were all afraid.
Yes, the Jin people are so powerful, can they be stopped by just Wang Lin?
Zhao Gou looked around the ministers and saw that everyone was giving in.
He suddenly remembered Wang Lin's previous solemn oath about "not cede land, not compensation, not kinship, not surrender, not paying tribute", and a bloody spirit arose in his heart.
Zhao Gou stood up slowly and said coldly: "I will never cede land and pay compensation in the Song Dynasty, and I will offer my daughter peace! There is no need to talk. Please wait for the north to return and tell Wanyan Zongwang that if you want to fight, I will fight. I will have thousands of sons in the Song Dynasty.
People, fight to the death!"
As soon as Zhao Gou finished speaking, Zong Ze’s eyes were bright, what a crown prince!
