Chapter 455 Song Army's Bureau
Wanyan Zongwang's method of weakening the status difference between nobles and bureaucrats is definitely beneficial to the Jin Kingdom itself. Everything is measured by the system and restrains the overly expanded nobles.
This is conducive to strengthening centralization and is a standard feature of the empire.
But this was undoubtedly opposed by the majority of nobles.
So Zong Wang’s ideals are very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Among the nobles, including Zong Han, Wu Shu, Wan Yan Chang, Zong Fu, and Wan Yan Yanmu, which one does not have his own soldiers?
You, Zong Wang, now want to play the same tricks as the Song Dynasty. You just want us to hand over our military power!
Therefore, when Zong Wang was in Yanjing, Wanyan's mother could restrain herself a little and did not dare to be too arrogant in Taiyuan.
But Zong Wang died of illness and returned to Shangjing. Wanyan Gao's mother was like a wild horse, and began to plunder Taiyuan Prefecture without restraint.
This undoubtedly increased the burden on the people of Taiyuan Prefecture and quickly intensified local conflicts.
This is what Zhao Ning calls the flaw of the Jin Kingdom.
To sum it up in one sentence: Zong Wang went north, Cha Mu was rampant, and there was a food crisis. Taiyuan Prefecture was like a powder keg, ready to explode.
Screams came from the Taiyuan Prefecture Tongjunsi Yamen, and a disheveled woman ran out from inside.
A man's wild laughter came from behind: "Hahaha! Don't even stop her, let's see how far she can run!"
No one from the Jin army on duty at the gate dared to stop her. The woman rushed out from the gate, barefooted and madly rushing out in the severe cold of the winter moon, shouting: "Help! Help me! Help me!"
"
The moment she rushed out of the gate of the General Army Department, a trace of joy appeared on her frightened face, as if she saw hope.
People passing by outside looked at me in surprise.
As soon as the woman ran out, she ran wildly towards the crowd in front of her.
At this moment, she seemed to see hope.
As long as you come out, as long as you leave that hell, it will be fine!
She saw those people on the street and thought these people would help her. No, she had to run!
Just when she thought she was saved, her whole body suddenly lost control and was pulled back by a huge force.
I saw Wanyan's mother hugging her back with her right hand.
Wanyan's mother is nearly seven feet tall.
One foot in the Song Dynasty and one foot in the Han Dynasty are not the same concept. One foot in the Han Dynasty was about 20 centimeters, and one foot in the Song Dynasty was about 33 centimeters.
In later generations, Wanyan's mother's height would have been almost two meters.
Moreover, he fought in wars all year round, ate meat, drank alcohol, and grew very strong.
This kind of strength is not the kind of strength found in the gym, but thick and strong, looking like a tiger.
I saw him laughing even more wildly after hugging the woman.
His upper body was unclothed, and his skin was as rough and dark as stone.
"Help! Help! Help me..." The woman fell into despair again and shouted to passers-by on the roadside.
Her legs were covered in blood, and with this force, the blood started to flow again.
No passers-by around here dared to come over.
Wanyanja's mother forcibly placed her on top of her, and began to commit violence regardless of the bleeding underneath.
The woman screamed loudly, but Wanyan's mother smiled crazily. He enjoyed this smile very much.
In fact, in official history, a princess of the Song Dynasty was tortured to death by Wanyanja's mother.
There was more and more blood, and finally the woman's screams slowly died down.
Wanyan Yan's mother grabbed her by the neck, threw her to the ground, and stepped on her bulging abdomen until it was dented.
"Scream again! Why don't you scream anymore! You scream anyway!" Wanyan's mother smiled crazily.
The Guardsmen behind have already followed.
"Bring it!"
A soldier handed over a handful of Iron Bone Flowers, and Wanyanja's mother hit the woman's head hard several times, causing red and white splatters all over the floor.
"Throw it in the backyard and feed it to the dogs!"
"yes!"
Wanyan's mother turned and left. Some people around her were so frightened that they rolled over and crawled, but some people seemed to have seen too much and looked at this side numbly, as if they just saw a hunter kill a deer.
Wanyan's mother seemed satisfied, smiled, and walked towards the Tongjunsi Yamen.
“Prepare some more tonight!”
"yes!"
Meng'an Wanyan Hujia said: "Du Tong, a group of rebels were captured in the city yesterday. They are all Han people. There are more than three hundred people."
"Are all the heads hanging on the city walls?"
"not yet."
"Why not yet?"
"Still interrogating his comrades."
Wanyan's mother said: "As long as everyone within a radius of the person we caught yesterday is executed."
"There may be something wrong with this."
Wanyan's mother gave him a cold look and said, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"The general has received the order, and the general will do it now!"
Just when Wanyan's mother was about to enter the Yamen of Tongjunsi, a voice suddenly came: "Report! Emergency military report in Shouyang!"
The messenger immediately dismounted, knelt down and said: "Urgent report from the front, the Song army has captured Shouyang!"
Wanyan's mother was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily: "What did you say!"
"The Song army sent troops to Shouyang, and the Shouyang defender was killed!"
"When did this happen?"
"Just a few days ago."
Wanyan's mother's face instantly became livid: "A bunch of trash! The Song dog ate the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. I didn't go to them, so they dared to attack first!"
"A bunch of stupid pigs! They can't even defend Shouyang! What's the use of them!"
Wanyan's mother strode in and shouted loudly.
"Go! Let Zhang Xiaochun come and see me!"
"yes!"
"Idiots! A bunch of stupid pigs! These Song dogs! Sooner or later I will chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"
Zhang Xiaochun just received a secret letter from Wu Jie yesterday. After reading the secret letter, Zhang Xiaochun felt both happy and nervous.
The grain and grass of the Jin army were heavily guarded, and ordinary people could not get close to them.
Unless Wanyan Yanmu takes people out of Taiyuan City!
Even so, Wanyan Yanmu will leave elite guards behind.
Unless the rebels and people in the city unite!
But Zhang Xiaochun just received news in the middle of the night yesterday that a rebel army had exposed its whereabouts and was captured by the Jin army and most of them beheaded.
Now people in the city are in panic.
But because of the food problem and Wanyan's mother being too cruel, more and more people could no longer sit still.
Zhang Xiaochun stayed up all night, feeling that this time might not be an opportunity.
When the Song army attacked Taiyuan City, they had to cooperate internally and externally. If they simply attacked the city, it would be difficult to capture it.
In the early Song Dynasty, both Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi personally conquered Taiyuan.
The Song army during the Zhao Kuangyin period must have been more elite. At that time, they built a city wall to surround Taiyuan and diverted water from the Fen River into Taiyuan. After three months of siege, they still could not break the city.
Later, during the Zhao Guangyi era, Zhao Guangyi personally led hundreds of thousands of Song troops to besiege Taiyuan. He sent reinforcements to the Liao army's encirclement points, repelled the Liao army, and finally conquered Taiyuan.
In order to prevent separatism, Zhao Guangyi destroyed the original Taiyuan.
Unexpectedly, the reconquest of Yanyun failed, and Taiyuan had to become an important town in the north of the Song Dynasty. Taiyuan City once again became a majestic city.
How hard is it to beat?
In the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zonghan besieged Taiyuan for nine months and used hundreds of trebuchets, but failed to capture it.
In the end, the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City even ate the leather, and many people starved to death before the city was broken.
Therefore, if you want to capture Taiyuan City, you can only outsmart it, and you must have fatal flaws.
It stands to reason that the people's livelihood in Taiyuan City is now on the verge of collapse, and the resistance has been squeezed to the extreme.
Moreover, Wanyan Yanmu had hoarded all the food. As long as she burned the food, Taiyuan would really be destroyed.
