Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three: The country is broken and the family is destroyed(1/2)
Chen Qiaoyi was defeated and the defense on the east side of Tokyo City collapsed. However, the Liao army only approached the city and did not launch an attack on the tall and dangerous Tokyo City.
A large number of plundered people from around the capital were driven to the city wall and cried day and night, which made the defenders on the city disintegrate and have low morale. However, everyone still stood on the city, even if they were crying, they were still trying hard to hold on.
post.
But the surrender of the Bianhe Navy became the last straw for everyone.
The Bianhe River is the first of the four major rivers that pass through the city of Tokyo. It connects the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, allowing materials from all over the country to be transported to Tokyo through this river. It is truly one of the major transportation veins of the Song Dynasty.
The Bianhe River was the foundation of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and was completely different from other water conservancy projects.
Although the Liao army besieged the city, because the Liao army had no navy, even if it was very meager, there were still some grain ships on the Bian River that went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and sailed in from the outside to unload bags of grain.
Down.
Even if only two or three ships out of ten can successfully enter the city, it still gives people endless hope.
At least, communication with the outside world has not been completely cut off.
At least, the various ministers outside are still thinking of ways to assist Tokyo. Maybe if they persist for a while, reinforcements will come?
But the Bianhe Navy actually surrendered.
Although the Bianhe Navy is a joke in the eyes of many experts.
Most of the time, they walk on the Bianhe River to collect taxes. But if you are rowing on the Bianhe River, even if you are standing in a big bathtub, you will still have to pay taxes.
Because of the importance of the Bianhe River and its prosperity, it is destined that every one of the Bianhe River naval divisions from top to bottom is basically smooth-talking. Even a small boatman's annual profit sharing is absolutely huge.
It is much better than a small official in other places.
This does not mean that soldiers will become greedy and fearful of death when they get rich. Generals like An Ming who were born as playboys, when the country is in danger, will still rush into battle regardless of their own safety even though they know they are losing. But in general, once a person is
If you feel comfortable, you will inevitably lack upward momentum and courage to fight.
Moreover, the Bianhe Navy is good at collecting taxes, but it is not so good at marching and fighting. Their military strength is basically limited to driving to Jinming Pond every year when officials review the army.
Drill. For this drill, they usually prepare one to two months in advance.
The gorgeously decorated ships, the soldiers with distinctive armor, and the highly entertaining performances will make everyone in Tokyo feel that it is worth getting up early to come to Jinming Pond to squeeze in a seat.
But no matter how bad the Bianhe Navy is, it is still the only navy around Tokyo City.
In the old plan, they were of great use, but now, they actually surrendered.
The surrender of the Bianhe Navy allowed the Liao army to easily control Shangshan Gate in the south and Tongjin Gate in the north, and cut the entire Tokyo city into two.
All plans had to be changed, and the plan of using the navy to send official Zhao Jing out was completely bankrupt.
Now we can only take the land route, a breakout road that is even more dangerous and uncertain about the future.
But what else?
We must seize the time to make a last-ditch effort.
With the entire Bianhe River losing control, the city of Tokyo is completely destroyed, which is imminent.
An elite cavalry team, consisting of only 500 people, is guarding the official Zhao Jing and Zhao Jing's eldest son Zhao Lu, preparing to break out from the south. The rest, including the queen, will be left in the city.
.
A eunuch who looked somewhat similar to Zhao Jing put on official clothes to impersonate him.
In Beicheng, the closed Fengqiu Gate is wide open.
Fengqiu Gate was originally the main entrance to the Beixiao Sacrificial Site of the official residence of Zhao Song Dynasty.
Now, it has become a road to surrender.
A few miles away from Fengqiu Gate, countless elites of the Liao army gathered. The emperor and queen's chariots and ceremonial guards stretched for miles. The soldiers were fighting solemnly, but the murderous intent could not hide the ecstasy.
Everyone outside the city was very excited.
Ordinary soldiers were excited because they no longer had to risk their lives to attack the city.
From the outside, Tokyo City will undoubtedly be intimidating to all attackers. Even if the opponent is at the end of his rope, the trapped beasts are still fighting and the almost perfect defense design of Tokyo City will definitely make this place become a flesh-and-blood millstone.
They surrendered and no longer had to sacrifice their lives to accumulate victory, and these lives would undoubtedly have to be filled by ordinary soldiers and ordinary people.
No one should die on the eve of victory.
So, they are happy.
Moreover, Tokyo's wealth is a matter of universal concern. If nothing else, the scale of the city alone is enough to make these soldiers from the North stunned. They
The generals who led the army were happy.
On top of their meager military exploits, they will add a contribution to the destruction of the country. A general may not be able to achieve such a contribution in his lifetime, but once he has such a contribution, as long as his descendants do not rebel, he will basically
You can enjoy wealth and wealth for generations.
The rebels were happy.
People like Cui Ang, Qu Zhen, Chen Yu and others may be happier than the people of Liao.
As traitors, if they cannot completely knock their past master to the ground, step on them a few more times, and completely make him stink, then they will definitely be the ones who stink in the future.
Although it is said that you can’t cook a five-pod lunch meal with five tripods, it is a slogan after all.
If possible, no one wants to be infamy for thousands of years!
Therefore, if the dynasty they once worked for was completely destroyed and the new master became the master of the world, then the revision of historical records would inevitably beautify their behavior. Under the pen of Spring and Autumn, all the ugliness will be erased.
Erase it, and the ferocious face will be modified into a kind look.
The capital was destroyed, the emperor surrendered, and a country was gone.
How could they not like it?
Emperor Yelu Junxi of Liao Dynasty.
He only ascended the throne of Daliao for seven or eight years, but he accomplished what his ancestors had never accomplished in their lifetime.
Song and Liao had been at odds for many years. Although Liao had always been strong and Song was weak, Liao had no choice but to hold on to its neighbor. It was even incomparable in terms of wealth. Song was like a girl with pink makeup and jade in her arms holding treasures.
It looks like you can catch this doll with just one stretch of your hand, but every time you do it, you find that this seemingly weak guy is covered with spikes all over his body. When he shrinks his neck and squats on the ground,
At that time, there was really nothing you could do against him.
Even though I was jealous, I could only watch helplessly.
The looting on the border and the annual annual coins have fundamentally changed the gap between the rich and the poor on both sides, because the money finally obtained from the Song Dynasty was earned back by the Song people using various commodities in the blink of an eye.
They even had to give it to them.
This situation did not improve until he came to the throne.
To be precise, things improved after Queen Xiao Chuo officially appeared.
This woman from a wealthy family in Bianliang was well versed in both civil and military affairs. She understood the strategy of enriching a country and strengthening its military. Many of her insights and methods made even Yelujun, who prided himself on being highly intelligent and knowledgeable about the world, feel inferior to her.
After all, knowledge is knowledge and means are means.
Just because you know what's wrong with something doesn't necessarily mean you can find a symptomatic treatment.
Sometimes, you can even just watch it deteriorate until you become terminally ill.
Yelujun let Xiao Chuo do his thing.
However, within six or seven years, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the Liao Kingdom, and power began to be concentrated toward the center step by step. The situation in which the Liao Kingdom had a strong military but not a rich country began to change little by little.
Then, under the circumstances that Zhao Song, a stupid enemy, made repeated mistakes, Yelujun finally waited for this day in his lifetime.
After destroying Zhao and Song Dynasty, and with this achievement, under the Nine Springs, even the founding emperor must give a thumbs up to himself and say that he is his true descendant, while other grandfathers have to stand back.
Therefore, there are no regrets in life.
Yelujun's face was flushed, and his breathing was a little short. Today, he put on a full set of emperor's uniforms, which made him feel a little overwhelmed. The heavy crown made him feel that he could hardly raise his head normally, and his fragile body had already made him reach
On the verge of collapse, but no matter what, he will persist to the end today.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Chuo, who was sitting next to him and was also wearing a formal gift. He was looking straight ahead with a solemn expression and no expression at all.
The strength of the Liao Kingdom is also accompanied by the strength of the queen. Now in Guotong, the reputation and strength of the queen Xiao Chuo should be said to be not inferior to that of Yelujun.
This woman is indeed a rare talent in the world.
However, everything is still under your control.
God gave this woman to him to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish to unify the world. Without her, Yelujun knew that he would never be able to make a substantial change in the confrontation between Song and Liao.
And based on his understanding of the internal corruption of the Liao State, if he did not do well, the Liao State might be defeated before the Song State.
How good God treats you!
Within a few days, a tall ceremony platform built with rammed earth rose from the ground. Its height even exceeded the height of Tokyo City. Sitting on it, one could sit on it and look down at the road that stretched straight from Fengqiu Gate to the ceremony hall.
Yelujun's heart was filled with excitement when he saw the royal road at the foot of the stage.
It won't take long for the Supreme Emperor of Zhao Song to appear at his feet along this royal road. Of course, the Zhao Song official who should have appeared here first is preparing to escape at the south gate.
If left unprepared, they may succeed.
After all, at first, Yelujun had no idea that Zhao and Song would actually use their supreme emperor, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the relatives of the emperor as bait to cover the escape of their officials.
To be continued...
