Chapter 156: Backstabbing in the Southern Song Dynasty, making a big fuss on the grassland

Wang Zhijin felt hurt. He had done so many things and felt betrayed by his own people. He did not expect that the Southern Song Dynasty court would stab him in the back.

Baoying's industry is very important. Without Baoying's industry supply, it would be difficult for him to provide large-scale support to the northern rebels and support the Xiangyang army.

In fact, the bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty had long been eyeing the property of the Baoying Wang family, and some of the officials who were involved were disappeared. The officials who later investigated were stopped by Lizong of the Song Dynasty, so Wang Zhijin's property was not affected.

Lizong of the Song Dynasty still wanted Wang Zhijin to assassinate Shi Miyuan before and let him take over the power, so he defended Wang Zhijin like this.

But it's different now. Wang Zhijin's income is too high, which has aroused the jealousy of the court. This is a little lower.

The second point is that Wang Zhijin’s appeal is too great. A single appeal can make thousands of martial arts practitioners go north to Shaolin to fight with the Mongols.

The third point is that Wang Zhijin supports the Mingjiao. The Mingjiao belongs to the Han government in the north. There is no reason why the Southern Song Dynasty court did not pay attention to it. At present, the Mingjiao has grown to more than 100,000. It is more beneficial to mention the Southern Song Dynasty in the short term, but not necessarily in the long term.

Fourth, Wang Zhijin’s support allowed Guo Jing, who was guarding Xiangyang, to get rid of the control of the imperial court. The imperial court had always controlled the army by relying on food, military pay, and civilian officials.

Now that Guo Jing could get enough military pay and food through Wang Zhijin, the role of civil servants was gone. Once Guo Jing had the intention to rebel, the Southern Song Dynasty would be in danger.

Fifth, the assassination announcement issued by Wang Zhijin made the entire Southern Song Dynasty royal family feel the same way, and he was also afraid that assassination would befall them in the future.

For these reasons, the imperial court took action against the Baoying Wang family. Some officials and wealthy families had long been eyeing those properties. At that time, Wang Zhijin, Cheng Yaojia and Mu Nianci were all outside.

The imperial court dispatched five thousand troops to garrison, and quickly raided the entire Wang family.

There are too many charges, including colluding with Mingjiao to rebel against thieves. Because of the connection between Mingjiao and Fang La, they were positioned as rebels more than a hundred years ago.

There are also those who win over powerful people and gather in green forests in an attempt to rebel.

He assassinated the Linguo royal family with the intention of provoking a war.

When the people from the Beggar Gang spread the news to Wang Zhijin, who was assassinating the Mongolian nobles in the north, they were so angry that they wanted to come back and kill Song Lizong.

But when you think about killing Song Lizong, who will become the emperor? Song Lizong has been in power for forty years, and he is also the best among that group of foolish emperors. If you kill the new heir, you will not expect him to be better.

On the contrary, because of the assassination, there was no successor to the throne, causing a greater crisis.

He was extremely unhappy, so he asked Dabai, Xiaobai, and the Divine Eagle to take him, Cheng Yaojia, and Mu Nianci with them all night long.

Returned to Baoying, rescued the Wang family members who were detained by the court, and evacuated Baoying. Wang Zhijin blackmailed Gongsun Zhi before going to get the Jueqing Valley.

Only less than a hundred old people who had been with the Wang family for decades went in. The others gave them one hundred taels of silver each and sent them off. As for those from the escort agency, they still stayed and went underground.

Currently, he has more than fifty third-rate masters, ten second-rate masters, and 500 others who are not first-rate.

They are all recruited. The Central Plains is very big. If these people are put into the Central Plains, not a single wave will rise. Forget about ordinary people.

Generally, an escort agency has dozens of branches, and each branch has thirty or forty people. He doesn't have many subordinates.

The gold and silver confiscated by the imperial court has exceeded 1.5 million taels, as well as a large number of workshops, fields, real estate, grain stores, some valuable decorations, luxury goods, and silk and satin. It is estimated that the value exceeds 3 million taels.

After Wang Zhijin arranged for everyone in Jueqing Valley, he returned to Labaoying and brought everything he could take with him into the space.

In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty court received nothing but the land and real estate.

Jia Sidao and Song Lizong who were in Lin'an were furious when they heard that the confiscated gold and silver had disappeared.

Three million taels is also a huge sum of money for the Southern Song Dynasty. The current tax revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty is 70 million taels, which is 70 million taels, but they have to support thousands of royal family, thousands of maids, two million troops, and tens of thousands of officials.

, hundreds of thousands of government servants. Hundreds of thousands of petty officials.

One-tenth of the tax revenue has to be allocated to build the imperial mausoleum. The maintenance of the walls of each other city, the maintenance of the yamen, the maintenance of the palace, the annual disaster relief, the annual pension, and the corvee levy for the war are all astronomical figures.

One million taels can greatly alleviate a country's expenses.

The news that the Baoying Wang family was sealed by the imperial court quickly spread throughout the martial arts world. There were two attitudes in the entire martial arts world.

One is that Wang Zhijin is too ambitious and the court did the right thing. After all, he offended many people at the martial arts conference. In addition, many people are indeed jealous of Wang Zhijin's status and wealth.

The other way is to yell at the emperor and the other bad officials. He feels that it is not worth it for Wang Zhijin, and he is completely disappointed with the court.

But despite facing such huge difficulties, Wang Zhijin still felt that he had to complete the deal with Shaolin.

He was alone and let the divine eagle take him to death in the Mongolian desert. From that moment on, and in the next six months,

More than 200,000 households died on the grassland, including forty nobles from the Bo'erzhijin clan, and more than a hundred from a thousand households.

This was killed by Wang Zhijin himself. The divine eagle that had developed spiritual wisdom was in the sky, looking at the Mongolian nobles dressed in luxurious clothes. It swooped down from the sky twice, grabbed those nobles, and fell from the high altitude. Five or six hundred people died in the fall.

people.

It had a very high vision, and those who fell to death were all important people, some were ministers, some were nobles, and some were military generals.

Among them, there are more than ten Borjin clans.

One night, Wang Zhijin rode a sacred eagle and took out a tube of oil from the space in the large tent of the Qiyan tribe. He poured it down on the largest tents, and then set a fire.

The fire shot up into the sky. The entire Khan Court was in chaos. There happened to be dozens of military generals in the big tent that day. They held a banquet with Ogedai. Tuo Lei took Meng Ge, Ali Bu Ge, and Kublai Khan.

among them,

When the fire broke out, a group of people rushed out of the fire,

Tuo Lei's face was completely disfigured, he was blind in one eye, and 30% of his body was burned in his eyes.

The Great Khan of Mongolia was in a worse situation. His face was burned, and his lower body was completely disfigured. He was not in good health, so he probably wouldn't survive this time.

Five other people died, including several Mongol generals and nobles. Meng Ge's face was also burned to a large extent. Kublai Khan's face was fine, but his right arm was burned.

Because the wind on the grassland was very strong and the yurts were densely packed together, more than 5,000 people were lost in this fire.
