Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 16 Still negotiating peace

In the palace, only the sound of rumbling can be heard, but outside Kaifeng City, the earth is shaking violently at this moment!

Heavy snow is flying, even in the dark night, you can see very far! That night, countless people outside the city of Kaifeng looked into the distance in horror!

A black line appeared in the distance, and it was this black line that caused the earth to tremble! The black line is getting closer and closer to Kaifeng City, and gradually you can see that it is a boundless cavalry! If you get closer, you can see that these cavalry are all dressed up strangely, they are all bald, only there is an extremely ugly money braid behind their heads! Although their appearance is extremely ugly, their bodies are extremely strong! All of them have dark bodies, with bulging muscles, sharp knives in their hands, and huge curved bows on their backs! These are the standard Jurchen outfits, and the army in front of them is the Jurchen cavalry that has been invincible in the world for ten years!

"Kaifeng, Kaifeng! The front is Kaifeng!" Wanyan Zonghan laughed with excitement!

"Marshal, we have finally arrived at Kaifeng City! Within hundreds of miles, we have not encountered any Song soldiers, and we have traveled unimpeded all the way!" Wanyan Loushi followed Wanyan Zonghan, laughing loudly at this moment .

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaoyaozi!" Wanyan Zonghan said gratefully, looking at a scholar beside him.

"You're welcome, we have the same goal! I will also use your hands to destroy Song!" Xiaoyaozi still looked chic and dust-cleaning! He rode on a horse and marched day and night all the way, but there was not even a speck of dust on his body. This was because his martial arts were too high, and he had reached the state of innate Dzogchen. Before the object touched his body, it was bounced far away! This is really the highest state of martial arts, and there are only three or five people in the world who can reach this state!

Ordinary people can't comprehend such a realm, but Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi are the top Jurchens, so they can naturally comprehend such a realm! Along the way, their bodies were covered with dust and dirt, and the two of them admired Xiaoyaozi to the extreme!

"Sir, we will attack the city today! With the strength of our Jurchen army, we can break through Kaifeng within a few days!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"There's no need to attack the city right now!" Xiaoyaozi shook his head.

"We have come to the city, why don't we attack the city?" Wanyan Zonghan asked in surprise.

"We are still negotiating peace!" Xiaoyaozi said.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi stayed there. The peace negotiation was originally used to paralyze the court of the Song Dynasty. The so-called "boiling frogs in warm water" is true, but now that they have successfully arrived at the city of Kaifeng, why continue to negotiate peace? Wouldn't this be a waste of time?

Xiaoyaozi said with a smile: "Firstly, His Royal Highness the Second Crown Prince has not yet come to Kaifeng City. It is difficult to conquer Kaifeng with the strength of the general alone. After all, Kaifeng is the largest and strongest city in the Song Dynasty! Secondly, we can still use Talking about peace paralyzes the court of the Song Dynasty, making them think that the reason we came to the city is to talk about peace, because of the conditions they agreed to us! Let the imperial guards in Kaifeng City relax!"

"Yes!" Wanyan Zonghan nodded.

"One more thing, if the commander-in-chief takes down Kaifeng City, will he loot and loot it?" Xiaoyaozi said.

"Naturally! I have long heard that Kaifeng City is the richest place in the world. We have worked so hard to come here from the north. How can we not plunder?" Wanyan Zonghan said without shame.

"Why do we have to do it ourselves?" Xiaoyaozi laughed.

"Oh?" Wanyan Zonghan was taken aback, not quite understanding what Xiaoyaozi meant.

"We negotiated peace with them and asked the court of the Song Dynasty to seize all the gold and silver in Kaifeng City. Wouldn't it be unnecessary for us to do it ourselves? If we did it ourselves, the people in Kaifeng City would still resist. In that case, we would still have something to do." Casualties, this is not good! Marshal, do you know Yelu Deguang?" Xiaoyaozi said.

"Of course I know Yelu Deguang, he is the second emperor of the Liao Kingdom, a generation of heroes, and he took the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Han!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"Yelu Deguang once went all the way south to Kaifeng City, just like the Jin soldiers now!" Xiaoyaozi said.

"Oh!" Wanyan Zonghan nodded, he looked at Xiaoyaozi, expecting Xiaoyaozi to continue talking.

"It's just a pity that Yelude just let the soldiers and horses rob everywhere! The Kaifeng city is the largest city in the world, with millions of people, and the people rebelled one after another! The Liao Kingdom had few soldiers, and half died because of the people's rebellion, and finally had to withdraw Kaifeng City! Originally, Yelude planned to use Kaifeng City as the capital of Daliao! So, now I propose to negotiate a peace, let the Song Dynasty take away all the gold and silver from its people, and obediently give it to us, isn’t it? Okay?" Xiaoyaozi said.

"So there is such a thing!" Wanyan Zonghan suddenly realized.

A gust of north wind blows, Xiaoyaozi's clothes are blown! He is over forty years old, but now he still looks so chic, as if he is the best son of Zhuoshi! At this moment, he looked at the Kaifeng city in front of him, with a sneer in his eyes!

"Zhao Kuangyin, you have taken away my kingdom! You never imagined that your Great Song Dynasty would have such a day, right? Now I not only want to wipe out all of your Zhao family's descendants, but I also want to make your Zhao's descendants suffer all kinds of humiliation before they die." , leaving behind eternal infamy!" Xiaoyaozi secretly said.

*** ***

The Jurchen army came to Kaifeng, this time the city of Kaifeng was really shocked!

The people in Kaifeng City are hiding in their homes and dare not come out! On the surface, it is not as chaotic as last time! Many people wanted to escape last time, but this time the city gates of Kaifeng were closed, and now no one can escape! What's more, the army of Jurchens and barbarians is outside, who dares to go out?

The court of the Great Song Dynasty was inexplicably terrified at first, but that morning, the Jurchen envoys entered the city of Kaifeng! In addition to the Jurchen envoy, Li Bangyan, who was sent to bargain with the Jurchen, also returned together!

Song Qinzong hurriedly summoned Li Bangyan in Funing Hall.

"Li Aiqing, isn't the Jurchen going to attack the city?" Song Qinzong asked immediately after Li Bangyan stepped into the hall.

"No, they just want to negotiate peace! Our gold and silver have not been delivered, so they came outside Kaifeng City to ask for money!" Li Bangyan said.

"This... this..." For a moment, Song Qinzong burst into tears, tears of joy! As long as the Jurchens are not attacking the city, he will be at ease! He has already decided that as long as it is a peace negotiation, he will agree to the Jurchens no matter what the conditions are!

"Heaven will not perish for my Great Song Dynasty!" After a long time, Song Qinzong said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen said that the 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million pieces of silk must not be missing! They can only retreat after sending out all their belongings!" Li Bangyan said .

"But there is not so much gold and silver in the treasury! These days, I and the ministers have been raising money, but we can't raise so much gold and silver!" Song Qinzong worried.

"Your Majesty, there are millions of people in Kaifeng City! Now that the Jin soldiers are besieging Kaifeng, everyone should contribute, and everyone should donate their belongings! The retreat of the Jin soldiers will benefit all the people in Kaifeng City." !” Li Bangyan said loudly.

"This..." Song Qinzong hesitated for a moment.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate! Only by keeping the Jiangshan Sheji, will you be able to repay the people in the future! If you don't do this now, the Jiangshan Sheji will fall! When the Jurchens enter Kaifeng, the people's gold, silver and wealth will also belong to the Jurchens Yes!" Li Bangyan said.

"You're right! It's just that this matter is of great importance, and a group of ministers should be called to discuss it!" Song Qinzong said.

At present Song Qinzong summoned a group of ministers to discuss this matter. Except for a few people such as Li Gang who objected and believed that they should fight against gold with all their strength, the rest of the ministers even agreed to collect gold and silver from the homes of the people in Kaifeng City to satisfy their demands. The needs of the Jurchens!

Collecting gold and silver starts with merchants in Kaifeng City! In the afternoon of that day, countless soldiers of the imperial army rushed into the merchants' homes, and began to rob gold and silver treasures one by one!

That night, soldiers of the Forbidden Army broke into the homes of ordinary people and began to rob them of their belongings!

The entire city of Kaifeng was once again in chaos, with crying everywhere!

"It's a pity that I'm just a ten-year-old prince. I have no position and no power! The enemy army is suppressing the border, and the court does not deal with the enemy, but even oppresses its own people! There are 1.5 million people in Kaifeng City. If the weapons are distributed and the people resist Jin soldiers, there are only 100,000 golden soldiers, and we can fight them in the streets, and we can repel them!" In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen couldn't sleep, he looked out the window, and he clenched his fists!

On this night, he was extremely eager to control this country by himself! For the first time, he has a little sense of identity with the identity of "Prince"!

"Your Highness, it's very chaotic outside these days! Those eunuchs and maids are running around, and you can still hear crying in the distance, what happened?" Xiao San'er stood aside and asked a little strangely.

"Nothing! The public has stolen things these days, so the palace is catching thieves! You must not go out. If someone finds out, they will only think you are a thief, and I'm afraid it will be Ling Chi's crime!" Zhao Chen said.

"This... this..." Xiao San'er was taken aback and trembled all over.

Xiao San'er naturally knew what kind of punishment Ling Chi was, for the flesh on his body was cut off piece by piece, it must be extremely painful!

"Prince, don't worry, I will never go out!" Xiao San'er said hastily.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

It was already November 3rd, and there was another sound of horseshoes outside the city that night. This was the arrival of Wanyan Zongwang! The two armies of the Jurchens finally converged, a total of 100,000 cavalry galloped across the city of Kaifeng, and the cheerful laughter of the Jurchens could be heard everywhere.

On this day, the first batch of gold and silver from Song Dynasty was also delivered outside the city! The Jurchens were even more happy when they got the gold and silver, needless to say!

In the next few days, gold and silver were sent out continuously almost every day! However, there are more and more cries in Kaifeng City, and I don't know how many families have been destroyed!

The weather is getting colder and colder, the wind is howling, and the snow stops and falls again. The sky in Kaifeng City is always gloomy!

Zhao Chen still practiced martial arts with Wang De every day, but when he came to Jujing Garden this day, he saw a trace of anxiety on Wang De's face.
