Chapter 839 0834 [The Emperor of Jin who murdered Zhongliang]

Xingzhongfu (Chaoyang City).

Yin Shu could notice that Li Bao was withdrawing his troops and guessed that the opponent wanted to attack from behind.

While he sent Qingqi to notify the defenders of Jinyuan County to strengthen their defense, he led his army westward to capture Jianzhou (Dapingfang Town, Chaoyang City), trying to force Li Bao to return to defend the city.

After besieging Jianzhou City for nearly ten days, Yin Shu could not defeat it at all.

There are not many Ming Dynasty defenders here, but nearly ten thousand civilians have organized themselves and taught the civilians how to throw thunderbolts. Once a certain section of the city wall is in danger, bombs will be thrown below immediately.

Yin Shuke was blown away and lost his temper, so he led his troops back to Xingzhong Mansion in despair.

The next person to be exterminated was the slave of the Shi family who was seriously ill and had not yet recovered.

Silver skills gradually failed to restrain the soldiers under his command. Knowing that they were bound to die, the golden soldiers in the city began to indulge as much as they wanted. They drank and had fun all day long, snatched away the young women in the city, and even exchanged them with each other after playing with them.

They also tried to break out of the siege, but they were all beaten back to the city by the Ming army. Only a few lucky ones managed to escape.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The leader was Wanyan Zongxian. When Liaoyang fell, he and He Shiliezhining fled to Shenzhou with their troops.

"How can you have the nerve to see Taizu after you die?" Shi Jianu sneered.

The wife and daughter of a local military officer were also raped and humiliated by Yin Shuke's own soldiers. They were so angry that they led their troops to seek an explanation.

In Wanyan Zongqian's family, only the young female relatives and Aguda's eldest grandson were able to survive this massacre.

Po Luhuo, who was also recuperating in Beijing, suddenly walked into the room and sighed when he saw Shi Jianu's embarrassed appearance.

Those generals who betrayed their money and defected to the Ming Dynasty had their families protected, for fear of offending the Ming Dynasty.

After two days of hiding in the mountains, tired and hungry, Wanyan Zongxian cautiously came out. When he met the defeated troops, he said that Wanyan Zongfu was defeated.

Moreover, since their families are under control, both sides will definitely suffer losses if they fight.

The loud shouts of killing came, and Wanyan Yuying suddenly woke up. He saw the Ming army chasing the Jin soldiers and killing them. A group of broken soldiers ran towards him, and he was chased and killed by the Ming army.

Only Wanyan Zongfu was extremely popular, and people from all sects and tribes came to intercede. Even Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongpan, father and son, felt that Wanyan Zongfu's family could stay.

Wanyan Zonghan's family members were also being massacred at this moment.

Shi Jianu crawled hard for a while, and finally he crawled to his armor. It was the armor gifted by Aguda himself, and it was the sword of iron obtained from defeating the Liao Kingdom.

Yin Shuke sent troops many times to try and destroy the Ming army's pontoon bridge, but they were shot back with muskets and crossbows. Even people didn't dare to stand on the city wall because the cannonballs were deflected and landed somewhere.

One morning, Yin Shuke took advantage of the foggy weather to send troops out to destroy the siege equipment.

On the fifth day of bombardment, there was a crack in the city wall, and on the sixth day it partially collapsed.

All the family members of the frontline generals who were loyal to the Jin Kingdom were killed, leaving only the young female dependents.

More than an hour later, the two family members were sent outside the city.

The shelling lasted for more than half a month. If it had not been for fear of overheating the gun barrels and had been firing at a leisurely pace, I am afraid that the Ming army would have almost run out of shells.

Besides committing suicide, he didn't know what else he could do.

"Haha, isn't this going to turn Yin Shu Ke into a pulp? Drag them all up and give me a hard blast!"

Wanyan Yuying felt great fear in her heart. She put down the body and knelt on the ground, shouting in Chinese: "I wish to surrender, I wish to surrender! Long live His Majesty the Ming Emperor! Long live His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."

Yin Shu didn't even think about breaking out of the siege, because the surrounding cities were occupied by the Ming Dynasty. Where could he escape to?

When this voice reached Wanyan Yuying's ears, it was like a fairy music coming from the sky, as long as he was not killed on the spot.

In front of Yin Shuke, the officer swaggered past and led the soldiers to ransack the house.

Shi Jianu swung his sword to strike, but the sword was knocked away, and he himself lost his footing and fell down.

"Tie them up!"

Otherwise, I don’t know how many of the Jin Kingdom’s remaining troops would survive.

Jin Wushu clenched his fists and wanted to rush over and kill Wu Qimai.

The Ming army still did not attack, and continued to bombard the city walls in turn while building pontoons and siege equipment.

After Wanyan Zongqian was destroyed, Wu Qimai's political opponents were leaderless, and a large number of nobles ran outside the palace to pledge their allegiance to the emperor.

Jin Wushu was so angry that he threw his spear to the ground.

Shenzhou was attacked again by the Ming army for a long distance. He had too few available soldiers and there were arsonists setting fire to the city. So he lost Shenzhou again and broke out with only a small number of soldiers and horses.

"That old guy is in there!" someone shouted at the door.

However, there can be no more internal strife now.

Wanyan Yuying was dejected.

The father and son hurriedly rode away, but saw that the soldiers in the city were even more confused.

He suddenly killed Wanyan Zongqian, and then went to kill Wanyan Zongqian's descendants.

Of course, if the news comes that Wanyan Zongfu ordered the massacre of the Bohai commanders, the Bohai civil servants in Beijing will definitely be furious.

Wu Qimai, who had suffered a stroke, suddenly recovered. His sons joined forces with the Jurchen nobles and gained the support of Han and Bohai civil servants to launch a bloody massacre against his political opponents.

Prime Minister Wanyan Zongqian was first convicted of rebellion and was killed directly during the meeting.

Wu Qimai said: "The family members of Nian Liduo (Wanyan Zongfu) are all fine. You and Nian Liduo are so close, so naturally nothing will happen."

Wanyan Zongxian looked at the family members who were surrounded and said helplessly: "It all depends on His Majesty's will."

When he heard that Wanyan Zongxian and Jin Wushu were returning with their troops, Wu Qimai felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy and personally led all the troops and civil and military ministers to greet them.

Wanyan Yuying held her father's body and sat on the street blankly for a long time.

He is Aguda's son-in-law and Wanyan Zonghan's confidant. He has experienced countless battles in his life and has never been defeated before encountering the Ming army. At this moment, he can't even save his family.

A cannonball flew in and smashed a big hole in the wall of the house.



Where are the elite Jurchens here?

The news that Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zonghan were completely wiped out had already reached Xingzhong Fucheng. Because of this, the defenders in the city seemed to have lost their souls.

Shi Jianu coughed twice, lay on the ground and asked, "You also rebelled?"

Po Luhuo sighed: "You are the one who rebelled. I just followed the general trend. Both armies were defeated. If I don't kill you, how can we surrender to the Ming Dynasty? If we don't surrender quickly, the Kingdom of Jin will really be gone."

The two sides fought on the spot, and not only was the local officer killed, but the silver-skilled soldiers also slaughtered his entire family.

Many Jurchen soldiers laughed and gathered around, pointing at the holes and discussing how heavy the shells were.

Just as the bloody massacre was taking place in Shangjing, a remnant of the soldiers came back.

Yin Shuke said something to his son, and suddenly he drew his sword and killed himself.

Wu Qimai said: "Now that all the armies have been defeated, the Dajin army should be reorganized. You two have come back just in time. Can you hand over the soldiers for unified deployment?"

The east, northeast, and southeast of Xingzhong Fucheng are all surrounded by rivers. One hundred and thirty artillery pieces of the Ming army were deployed on several other sides to bombard the city walls every day.

He wanted to tell Wanyan Zongfu, but was chased into the mountains by hundreds of Ming troops.

They rested for half a day in Xianping Mansion, then looted the whole city and left, and then gathered troops and horses in Hanzhou to prepare for another battle.

Wanyan Zongxian and Jin Wushu looked at each other, and the former said: "Bring our family members here."

The two men joined forces, and their strength finally exceeded a thousand.



The slave of the Shi family gave up his armor, stretched out his hand to hold the iron sword, panted and turned around while holding the sword.

Hearing the screams of death in the courtyard, Shi's slave struggled to get up from the bed, but fell to the ground after taking only two steps.

In Xingzhong Fucheng, seven city walls have been destroyed.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongfu drained all the soldiers and horses who went to Beijing in order to fight.

Yin Shuke was dealing with another brawl. He rushed over after hearing the news and was about to punish him severely, but found that the soldiers didn't even bother to look at his commander.

The armies of Yue Fei and Wang Yan continued to move north, and they also brought prairie cavalry with them to seize the city all the way to Linhuang Mansion.

Taking the original artillery pieces of Li Bao, Li Yanxian, and Li Jinyi, plus the eighty more artillery pieces sent by Zhu Ming, the number of artillery pieces of the Ming army outside Xingzhongfu City reached 130.

Jin Wushu also asked: "Where is my family?"

"The Ming army is coming to kill!" a soldier shouted outside the house.

Some people carried weapons to the city wall, some wandered around holding wine jars, and some even burned their houses and set themselves on fire.

Li Baoqi came back with his troops after a surprise attack, and then brought Li Yanxian's troops with him, and also asked Li Jinyi to cooperate in sending troops.

Dragging his old and sick body to his feet, Shi's slave grabbed the armor, but was unable to pick it up at all.

He gathered some broken troops and escaped around the battlefield. The next day he met Jin Wushu by the river.

"Mr. Li, Your Majesty has ordered eighty cannons to be delivered!"

The troops mobilized by the three to attack Xingzhong Prefecture totaled nearly 50,000 men. However, Yin Shuke failed to attack Jianzhou, and only 10,000 troops were left when they returned to Xingzhong Prefecture, including the defeated troops who fled from Jinzhou.

Ju Ming led his army to Xianping Prefecture and did not continue to advance.

"It's your choice."

Yin Shu wants to mobilize troops and generals, but he can't command them at all. He can't even find all his own generals. Military law is useless. He has already executed many people. If he kills people indiscriminately, he may mutiny on the spot.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

But they couldn't recruit troops at all, and recruiting them by force would be a burden, so they simply fled all the way back to Shangjing.

Gunfire is still being fired outside the city.

Yin Shu was almost sixty years old. He looked around the streets slumped. There were fights everywhere, drinking and gambling everywhere, rape and robbery everywhere, and tens of thousands of enemy troops were just outside the city.

He finally achieved some results and burned more than 30 Ming army siege equipment.

Suddenly, they heard that there was still some wine hidden in a house, so they rushed there in a swarm, killing people all over the house before looking for wine to drink.

"You should go see Taizu first," Po Luhuo ordered, "give him a good time and don't humiliate him in every possible way."

A group of noble young people rushed in.

"Kill him quickly!"

When the news came back that they were defeated on the front line, and that Wanyan Zongqian was trapped and killed during a meeting, the three members of the gang immediately had different ideas. More than half of them turned to Wu for help, and then discussed surrender with Han and Bohai civil servants!

However, it doesn't help.

He himself took command of Xianping Prefecture and dispatched various generals to occupy the city. Among them, there were more than 10,000 soldiers who went straight to the capital of Jin Kingdom.

They had a lot of copper coins wrapped around their waists, and they went out into the street and scattered them everywhere.

Calling his son Wanyan Yuying over, Yin Shuke said, "You can break out of the encirclement again tonight. You can run as far as you can. If you really can't break out, don't come back. It's better to die under a knife or a gun."

Wu Qimai scolded: "How can you be compared to the Southern thieves? Those are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I have sent a messenger to ask for surrender. After all, I want to protect the Kingdom of Jin Zuo."

Wu Qimai said: "You are not closely connected with those rebellious people, so naturally the whole family is fine."

Wanyan Zongxian guessed what happened when he saw the civil servants and generals beside Wu Qimai. He asked directly: "Are my family members okay?"

Going to Beijing, there is internal strife.

Jin Wushu asked: "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with the southern thieves?"

The news that they were recruiting soldiers in Hanzhou had already been sent back to Shangjing. Wu Qimai knew that they were still alive and had soldiers, so he did not massacre their family members.

There were family members as hostages, but upon their return they had their military power taken away!
