Chapter 656: The sky and the earth collapse and the long road starts from the beginning (Part 2)
The night was shrouded in darkness, and the forest fields were green. While dinner was going on in the small courtyard on the mountainside, snowflakes had already begun to fall from the night.
When the people in the courtyard saw the snowflakes falling, they all restrained themselves slightly. Winter has arrived, and it will snow sooner or later. However, once the snowflakes fall, many problems will become more urgent.
Of course, everyone has come through mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and strong winds and waves. Since the uprising, they have already been aware of many things. The problems they will encounter this year, and even in the next few years, are all
It won't be simple. With such mental preparation, the rest is just a matter of walking and passing one by one.
Therefore, after the laughter paused for a while, it recovered again. In the scene where the first snow fell, the men chatted about many things to come. In the room where women gathered next door, Xigua held Xiao Ningji and turned to
When she looked out the window, there was some hesitation, but then, the child's waving hands turned into a smile. Su Tan'er looked at her and smiled gently when their eyes met.
As soon as the mountains were blocked by heavy snow and the roads became increasingly difficult to travel, it was imminent for everyone in the Ba Dao Camp to set off southward.
For her, this is also a complicated matter.
However, the complicated things in this courtyard, this valley, this northwest, and this world are not just this small thing.
The dinner gradually passed in a lively and interesting atmosphere. After dinner, Ning Yi saw Qin Shaoqian out and talked about business in a low voice: "The things in the capital have been foreseen for a long time and have little to do with us. But here in the northwest, how to choose
, has become a problem. The letter you wrote,
We had handed it over a long time ago, hoping that Mr. Zhong would listen to it for the sake of Prime Minister Qin. But this time the Western Army still broke out and moved south. Now it is blocked halfway by Wan Yanchang's troops, and a fight has begun.
Li Qianshun came south, and something is really going to happen in the northwest..."
Qin Shaoqian looked at the snowflakes in the night and shook his hands: "The Jurchens are attacking Bianliang. Mr. Zhong will send troops to rescue. This is something that can't be said. Xixia has exploited this loophole well, but on our side, the pace has not yet stabilized, and we have another
What can we do?" He
After thinking for a while: "The Zhong family army has been dragged to the south, and the Zhe family can only protect themselves. If Li Heng thinks that he can take the risk of cooperating with the Western army and guard the northwest together at this time, I can go to see Mr. Zhong first. Maybe he will see
In the face of my father and brother, I can say a few words."
Ning Yi shook his head: "It's too risky."
After their group came to the northwest, they also hoped for stability in the northwest, but of course, to promote the theory of the demise of the Wu Dynasty, this was what Ning Yi and his group had to do. In the early rebellion, the Wu Ruiying and Luliang cavalry had no momentum in the Wu Dynasty.
Two, but this astonishing power has no stamina and poor resilience. Even if no one dares to challenge it in a year and a half, it will inevitably decline. This temporarily domineering force may actually fall off the cliff at any time.
In the limited time, Ning Yi predicted the Jurchens' southward movement, and at the same time strengthened the foundation of Qingmuzhai, keeping an eye on the situation in the northwest. These are the keys to whether Wurui Camp, a rootless force, can take root.
During the process of guarding Bianliang, Qin Siyuan had a deep friendship with Zhong Shidao. Later, after the guarding battle of Bianliang ended, Zhong Shidao's frustration could be seen because of the Qin family's affairs. This guard
The old people in the northwest have compassion, but after the regicide rebellion, it is basically impossible to maintain the relationship between the two parties with such compassion.
Foreboding the possible danger in the northwest, Ning Yi asked Qin Shaoqian to write a letter and send it to Zhong Shidao, hoping that he would focus on the northwest. If the Jurchens went south again, the Western Army should leave enough troops even if they had to send troops.
, to prevent Xixia from taking advantage of the situation.
In fact, Master Zhong would not have thought of these things.
As for the Zhong family army, which suffered a large number of losses during the first defense of Bianliang, if they wanted to move south to attack the king while guarding the northwest, it would become a dilemma in terms of troop strength.
Many times, there is never the best of both worlds.
Ning Yi asked Qin Shaoqian to write such a letter, not because he was considering the decision to become a teacher. More, it could only be regarded as a statement: Although I killed the emperor, I had no ill intentions towards Northwest. And in recent times,
The storytellers of Bamboo Records were not suppressed by the Zhong family's high-pressure propaganda in several cities in the northwest, perhaps because it was part of the old man's compassion.
If the two sides are in this kind of ambiguity for a longer period of time, there may be an opportunity to sit down and negotiate or cooperate. But right now, it is too fast after all.
Although Zhong Shidao was a kind old man when he was in Bianliang, he has been guarding the northwest for many years. In terms of decisiveness in killing, he is definitely the highest. He may have compassion, but if you think he is soft-hearted, come to him.
, the possibility of being beheaded and sent to the capital is definitely higher than becoming a guest at the table.
This time when the Jurchens came south, the Western Army broke out and fought hard, and there were not many troops left in the northwest. Then there may be only three directions. First, I hope that the Western Army will unite with a weak force and grit its teeth in the slim possibility.
Defend the northwest. Second,
Qin Shaoqian went to see Zhong Shidao, hoping that the old man would consider Qin Siyuan, Qin Shaohe's face, and the critical situation in the northwest to cooperate with Wu Ruiying to defend this side. Even if he did not agree, he hoped that the other party would let Qin Shaoqian go.
Third, watch.
But the first possibility is really too small. If the second possibility comes true, it is of course the best. With the acceptance of the family, Wuruiying will be able to establish a foothold in the northwest immediately. However... how can you be so naive?
Ning Yi looked at the snowflakes in the night and paused for a moment: "I hope Mr. Zhong will take the people of the northwest into consideration and cooperate with us to defend the city. If we can defend the city, after this battle, the Zhong family army will be no different from treason. Bianliang
Although the city was destroyed, the Wu Dynasty was not destroyed. Put your hope in it
This is not very realistic. Moreover, Xiaocanghe has not even built a house. The construction period is already tight and the manpower is not enough. It is difficult to survive the winter. How many people can we allocate to go there? If there is a slight rift between the two sides, in the future
We can't survive the day..."
Qin Shaoqian nodded. The reason why he told this matter was because he thought it was the least likely. However, Ning Yi often did what others couldn't, so he just told him to try his luck: "That... from the northwest
The situation is even more troublesome."
"There will be a meeting tomorrow and we will discuss it with everyone."
This was a major event related to the future. The two took a breath before Qin Shaoqian left. Everyone inside and outside the courtyard was still talking and laughing. On the other side, Xigua said a few words to Fang Shuchang and others, and took over her sword box.
Carrying it on her back, she seems to be going to do something. She usually
When going out, Fang Shuchang and others help carry the Ba Dao. According to her own explanation, it is because it is very stylish. When Ning Yi looked over, her eyes were dull and she tilted her head slightly. Snowflakes swayed on her body.
Then she turned around and walked towards the side path.
At this time, it was time to disperse. Everyone left one after another. It was not strange for Xigua to leave alone. Soon after, everyone in the courtyard left one after another. The servants packed their things, Tan'er and Yunzhu
Sitting on the corridor outside the room, watching Luoxue chatting, when Ning Yi came, Tan'er said: "Why did Xigua leave alone?" Although she is quite calculating, she actually likes Xigua's straightforward temperament.
.
"She also has her own things to deal with."
Ning Yi replied and squatted down in front of the two of them. He took Yunzhu's hand and looked at her bulging belly: "How are you? Are you feeling well?"
Yunzhu smiled and nodded: "It's okay." She looked calm, but she looked a little thin.
"If you run out, she will worry about you every day." Tan'er said next to her.
Braving the disapproval of the world, suddenly killing the emperor and raising the flag of rebellion, the previous life changed overnight. Even the people who were closest to him found it difficult to accept it for a while. No matter Yunzhu or Su Tan'er, regarding these things,
Everyone is worried. Yunzhu doesn't want to say it, but when Ning Yi goes out, he often worries about his safety. Tan'er is smart and capable, but in this matter, she may not be resigned.
Overnight, everyone's life has actually changed.
After half a year, Yunzhu has obviously lost some weight, and Jin'er sometimes seems to have no place to live. Tan'er, Xiaochan and others are looking after the family, and occasionally look haggard and busy. Previously, the prosperity of the capital and the beauty of Jiangnan have turned into smoke in a blink of an eye.
, the familiar world suddenly faded away. This is an emotion that anyone will have. Ning Yi is looking forward to time to smooth everything out, but he also feels somewhat guilty towards these family members.
Sometimes he would take Yuan Jin'er with him when dealing with things in the valley. Sometimes he would be busy with Tan'er and Xiaochan until midnight. When he was with Yunzhu, Yunzhu would play the piano and tell stories for him.
In other words, this all means helping each other.
As for what Ning Yi said about the demise of the Wu Dynasty and the collapse of Tiannan, people who have been used to it during the Shengping years, in fact, how can it be so simple to create a sense of urgency? Even Tan'er,
Those closest to Yunzhu can't do it either.
Unlike those soldiers who have experienced the battlefield and faced the Jurchens, they will feel more real.
"Every time I go out, there are so many masters following me. You all know the martial arts of Chen Fan and the others. It's not easy to kill me, so don't worry. This time when the Jurchens went south, Bianliang was broken, and everything started.
It's not a joke that a bunch of us came to stay in this mountain den here. It won't be very easy in the next few years. I feel guilty for letting you do this, but some situations will become worse and worse.
There will be more and more people who can understand it clearly..."
"I don't care about this, and neither does Yunzhu." Tan'er laughed, "If you can feel at ease, we will feel at ease."
Although she said this, the news this time can encourage people in the valley, and it actually has a reassuring effect on them.
"It's just that Miss Li felt very uncomfortable after hearing the news..." Tan'er thought about it and added another sentence.
"She..." Ning Yi thought for a while.
"She should have heard the news." Yunzhu said, "When you are free, go and see her."
*************
The night is gray and black, and snow is falling. In front of the field of vision, there are winding rivers on one side and barren mountains on the other. In the snowy night, there are occasional lights shining in front. Let the people around you hold torches, and Ning Yi turns around
The mountain road ahead.
Half a year ago, when he left Beijing after a big scene in Bianliang, Ning Yi kidnapped Li Shishi. Whether it was done smoothly or deliberately, Ning Yi did his best to deal with some things that could be dealt with. For example, Jiang Ning
The Su family, Ning Yi arranged for someone to kidnap them north
At this time, they were arranged in Qingmuzhai. Regarding Wang Shanyue's family, Ning Yi had people come to the door. Later, he also beat up several women in charge of his family, and only abducted Miss Wang, who was engaged to Zhu Biao.
, by the way, they burned down the Wang family’s house to draw a clear line.
Things have come to this point. There is no tenderness at all. As for Shishi, the two had a lot of contacts when they were in Beijing. Even if they say there is no personal relationship, Shishi will not be able to live well after Ning Yi's rebellion. This includes him.
Ning Yi's two "childhood playmates" Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng. Ning Yi simply beat them up and kidnapped them all. After that, they could leave or stay as they pleased.
Shishi Li was indignant about what happened to the Qin family, but she still couldn't accept Ning Yi's sudden outburst. Because of such things, Shishi and Ning Yi had several arguments along the way. But no matter what
The argument doesn't make much sense from Ning Yi's side.
After that, Ning Yi asked Hongti to mobilize two female warriors to protect her, but Shishi did not leave. She followed the team to Xiaocang River and helped Yunzhu sort out some classics. She could not see the general trend of the world.
As for the direction, she could not see the necessity for Ning Yi to kill the king, and she had no reason to kill the king.
Fa Yi and Ning Yi have become strangers. But no matter what, for an individual, being in such an environment is like a rushing river suddenly encountering a boulder. The river seems to be stuck for a moment, but no matter what
Whichever direction you go, what follows is a vast expanse of turbulent water that will crush people to pieces.
Ning Yi walked up to the small house with lights on over there. In the darkness on one side of the house, a woman in a bloated green dress was sitting on a fallen tree trunk over there looking at the snow. When Ning Yi came over, she also turned to the side.
Look this way.
"You are a woman who worries about the world, but you can't stop eating." Ning Yi stopped at the roadside, then followed him and walked over there.
"You..." The woman named Shishi's voice was a little low, but then she coughed and paused, "Bianliang City was destroyed?"
People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. In the past, women in Fanlou wore silk and gold and silver. No matter how cold the weather was, there was never a charcoal fire in the building. But now in the northwest, even though the days were gorgeous
The woman whose fame spread all over the world only looked bloated at this time. In the dark, her figure was slightly better than that of ordinary women, and her tone sounded somewhat sluggish.
Ning Yi nodded: "Well, it's broken."
"Are you happy?"
"That's right. Only when he is broken can I stand firm."
"Hundreds of thousands of people are in the city..."
"I predicted that he would break, so I left. I predicted that these hundreds of thousands of people combined would not be able to defeat tens of thousands, so I didn't want to be killed by them."
Shishi lowered his head: "You still say this, that's hundreds of thousands of people..."
Ning Yi sat down on the tree trunk next to him: "The first time the Jurchens went south, we defended the capital and many people died, but everyone still felt that Bianliang could be defended. Merchants and idlers from all over gathered in the capital. I will kill Zhou Zhe
After that, everyone felt that something was wrong, and the population of Beijing was dispersed and reduced by nearly 20%. Thinking on the bright side, at least these two people were saved by me for the time being." He knocked on the tree trunk: "It's only temporary..."
"I can't help you." Shishi whispered, and after a moment, he said, "What I asked you for before, you..."
"I have arranged two routes for you, either to find a small town in the south to remain anonymous, or to take a detour to Dali. If you are more careful, you may not be able to live a peaceful life. You were involved in the incident, and I owe you this.
"
The snowflakes fell quietly, and the two people sitting on the fallen tree trunk also spoke calmly. After saying this, they fell silent. The sea is flowing, and words are inevitably powerless. After this, she will go south, no matter what,
Far away from the past life, this army will also stay in Xiaocanghe and struggle for survival. Thinking of this, Shishi felt sad: "Is it true that I can't persuade you?"
This is actually something that does not need to be said. After a moment of silence, Ning Yi smiled in the darkness.
******************
When the snowflakes were falling on the Xiaocang River, thousands of miles to the east, in the city of Fenzhou, blood and fire were joining together.
The archers shot the people who ran out one by one outside the burning house. This was the territory of Hebei Tiger King Tian Hu. The general who led this team was named Yu Yulin. At this time, he was standing behind the queue, looking at this
Everything that burns.
Looking back, there was a figure also watching coldly from a small building not far away.
The house that was burning at this time belonged to Miao Cheng, the leader of the second king Tian Bao. This man was quite good at planning and had some skills in business operations. After being re-employed, he was always high-profile and then became domineering. This time, he was
He lost power in the struggle and his whole family was killed.
The enemy that Miao Cheng encountered was the woman watching from the small building behind. At this time, the woman was wearing a gray robe, looking thin and thin in the winter. It made people feel a little cold, but she didn't seem to notice it.
, looked at the burning mansion for a moment, sat down in front of the upstairs window, drank herbal tea, and dealt with the matters at hand.
Miao Cheng's family had been slaughtered. Yu Yulin turned around and walked upstairs. The light was swaying in front of the window of the room, and his thin figure, the cool tea, the paper and pen on the table and the hard cake in the woman's hand were all condensed into one.
This woman looked cold and solitary and had a very bad life. However, many people in Tian Hu's tent had begun to be afraid of her.
It wasn't like this at first.
Since she came to the Tiger King's tent, she had a taste of entertaining people with her appearance and got into the Tiger King's eyes, and then she was reused because of her ability. Before she took the mission to Luliang Mountain, she was still that kind of pretty
Although she worked hard, she looked like a somewhat weak woman. After returning from Luliang Mountain, she began to look very different.
Yu Yulin only found out later that she and the inner demon had a hatred for killing her father and destroying her family. However, the experience on Luliang Mountain seemed to have made her figure something out. She advocated cooperation with Luliang Qingmuzhai in business and controlled the
After that, she was not only decisive in doing things, but her selfish desires in her life almost seemed to have completely disappeared. She no longer cared about her appearance, she only wanted to be neat and tidy. She was not picky about her food, and her residence and clothing were ordinary.
Women's demands.
Sleeping on a hard bed and eating hard biscuits with whole grains, she quickly lost weight in the past two years, and her whole person became as cold as a poisonous spider. But it is undeniable that what she inherited
Everything is vivid and colorful. Tian Hu doesn’t care about it. If
Women are everywhere, and there are not many people who can do things well. Without the idea of "this woman is good for him", he trusts Qilou Shuwanlai even more. Yu Yulin also had many things happen because of his past friendship.
She was willing to cooperate with her and gained a lot of advantages.
In order to seek benefits, he endured the revenge of killing his father, cut off his selfish desires, and only wanted to strengthen himself. Yu Yulin knew that the woman in front of him had no martial arts skills. If he could reach out, he could stab her to death with one finger. But these days,
In his heart, she has always been regarded as scary. He just couldn't figure out what this woman wanted from the beginning to the end.
This time the Jurchens went south for the second time, and the world was in chaos. Many voices in the Tiger King's court were suggesting that they take Qingmuzhai and fight against the Wurui camp rebels. In this way, they can win the hearts of the people in the world. Even if they cannot defeat Wurui camp, they can take advantage of the false plan
Qingmuzhai was also a good move. However, Lou Shuwan objected to this, and Miao Cheng accused her in court that she had an old relationship with the regicide rebel and was cheating on others.
When these political disputes occurred, Yu Yulin was still out of town. Soon afterwards, he received instructions from Lou Shuwan and came over with Tian Hu's warrant to kill Miao Cheng's family today.
In the light of the lights, you can still see the outline of the woman's delicate face in the past. She raised her head, said hello to Yu Yulin, thanked her, her smile was not warm, and then she looked down at the few dishes on the table.
After getting the things, Yu Yulin praised a few words: "Miss Lou is good at what she does..." and then asked: "Why did Miss Lou insist not to do anything about the Qingmuzhai matter?"
"They are the enemies of the world. They have the world to fight them, but we may not be able to defeat them, so why rush to make the relationship so tense." The woman answered casually without any hesitation.
"However, after the regicide, the foundation of Qingmuzhai has been shaken. As far as I know, Qingmuzhai has gained a lot due to its geographical advantage in recent years. If we can take advantage of it, it will be of great benefit to us."
"Just because he has a little foundation, have you forgotten the strength of Wurui Camp to face the Jurchens head-on?" Lou Shuwan smiled, and then pushed something on the table out, "Then after Ning Liheng went to Qingmuzhai, the first
One thing, has Brother Yu ever seen the 'Ten Orders' issued?"
"I heard that they are all useless things."
"It's not useless. At first glance, each of these ten orders seems to be a rule that everyone has agreed upon. The first item seems to be a mouthful. Luliang is the Luliang of Luliang people. All laws and regulations are based on the interests of Luliang and violate this interest.
Those who are killed will be killed without mercy. The second item is that personal property cannot be infringed by others... The ten rules seem to be just commonplace truths, some simple rewards and punishments that everyone knows, but the rules are set in words, and the foundation is
Got it."
Lou Shuwan's tone was unpleasant and flat. She looked back and paused: "I read these ten orders for two months after I got them, and then I almost copied them. After writing them down in detail, I gave them to Hu."
King. Soon, the Tiger King will also issue an order. Qingmuzhai has been under great pressure due to the regicide, and its foundation is indeed unstable. There is no problem on our side. If we follow the steps, we have taken advantage."
Yu Yulin frowned: "Even if it has an effect, Qingmuzhai has been affected after all. What does it have to do with us not taking action?"
"This is just my personal opinion. If you are not sure of killing such a person, don't mess with him casually." Lou Shuwan curled her lips, looking a little miserable, "He even killed the emperor.
, do you think he will definitely not kill Fenzhou, Wei Sheng will come?"
Yu Yulin was silent for a moment. He was the leader of the army. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be too cautious about fighting, but now, he actually felt that it was possible.
Ning Liheng seemed to be sane and steady, but he went crazy and chopped the emperor into pieces in front of the court. He was an enemy of the world. He had no sense and was simply a lunatic!
The flames outside the window were still burning. Lou Shuwan took a look: "Fortunately, he has gone to the northwest now and wants to stand firm. It is not easy, not to mention the imperial army. This time the Jurchens went south and the northwest was empty. It is very likely that the King of Xixia
Will seize the opportunity to regain Hengshan,
Even when he went south to the Wu Dynasty, his life was difficult, but he would definitely try his best. In terms of planning, I am not as good as him. In terms of vision and planning, I am a female, and I have great limitations. With him as a teacher, I will definitely be behind everything.
, learn it..."
The fire was raging, but there was a smell of iron and blood in the calm tone and thin figure upstairs. Yu Yulin nodded.
"That's right, it's hard to say whether he can stop Xixia..."
****************
The same fire had appeared in the southern city of Hangzhou a few years ago. At this moment, following the memory, it returned to the eyes of the brothers of the Qi family.
Xiaocang River, among the falling snowflakes, Qi Xinyong, Qi Xinyi, Qi Xinhan and others saw the woman who came alone. The woman was not tall, but she had a well-proportioned body shape and a round face. She was quite beautiful, but she also looked a little arrogant. She
Walk over and place the long box behind you on the ground.
Among the warriors under Ning Yi's command, there are several direct descendants. At first, the three brothers of the Qi family who followed him led one. Later, Zhu Biao came over and also brought some Green Forest people from Shandong, plus those who were later accepted.
One branch. During this period of time, with
Most of the hundreds of people around the Qi brothers knew that their boss had an old relationship with the tyrant from the south. Sometimes they were fighting each other, and there were some minor frictions. This time, the woman came alone. There were many people in this area by the river.
They all came out one after another.
There was wind by the river, which made her clothes rustle and her hair moved in the wind. Liu Xigua stood there and said loudly: "I am returning to the south, and some things have been delayed for half a year. It is time to solve them."
Yes. Brothers Qi, what do you think?"
This is a matter that belongs to the top management. There was a moment of silence, and Qi Xinyong came out of the room and said coldly: "How to solve the revenge of killing my father."
Not far away, Qi Xinhan was bathing by the river, shirtless, dragging a gun over, and the water vapor evaporated from his body. Qi Xinyi, who had broken one hand, was standing on the other side with a gun, his waist straight. Liu Xigua's eyes swept over
them.
"Two ways. First, the conditions are the same as last time. The grievances accumulated between the surnamed Qi and the surnamed Liu. The three of you and I will be dealt with according to the rules of the world. There will be no grudges in life or death!"
Among the three brothers of the Qi family, Qi Xinyi broke his arm while fighting the Jurchens, and Qi Xinyong was also injured. However, Qi Xinhan, the younger brother, has experienced hardship and is now like a sharp blade, with the ability to reach higher places.
Maybe. They were listening to the woman's words at this time.
"Secondly, Uncle Qi is my elder. I killed him because I feel guilty in my heart. You want to settle the matter. I will cut three swords and six holes in front of his spiritual place. After that, all grudges will be cleared. You can choose one of these two methods."
Xigua has a delicate face. At first glance, she has the delicate aura of a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. However, she has been in charge of Ba Dao Manor for many years. When the wind blows, after just a few words, she already gives the impression of a majestic and majestic master.
Someone among the men of the Qi brothers sneered: "You have an old relationship with your employer. What are you saying about three swords and six holes? You have three swords and six holes. My boss is still using it here..." Before he could finish his words, Qi Xinyong turned his head.
He whispered: "Shut up!"
Xigua glanced at the man: "What I want to avenge is the murder of my father. How can everything go as planned in this world? Brothers of the Qi family, make your choice!"
She held a single sword in her hand, and when the words fell, she plunged into the soil. In the wind and snow, there was a giant sword on one side of the woman's side, and a sharp single sword on the other, standing awe-inspiring. Opposite her, Qi Xinhan's eyes flashed.
Resolutely, hold the gun and move forward...
****************
In Bianliang City, the great sadness is only the beginning.
The carriage drove through the streets, and Tang Ke was in the carriage, listening to the chaotic sounds coming from outside.
After the Tianshi Guo Jing incident, the Jurchens have been surrounding the inner city of Bianliang for several days. Now, in order to pay the huge compensation for the Jurchens, the army has begun to search every house in the city to collect gold and silver.
But this is not the most desperate thing. When the screams and screams came, a group of soldiers were in a house on the street. They arrested the women in this family according to the list. The owner of this family was a young man.
He tried his best to block the situation, but was knocked to the ground by the soldiers.
The women's cries and the children's cries were mixed together. When I looked out through the gap in the curtain, the soldier with a bloody head was still fighting with the soldiers, crying: "Let go! Let go! You scum! You don't have a wife at home."
Girl, let go! I am willing to defend the city. I am willing to fight the golden dog..."
The cry of an adult man has a kind of despair seeping from his bones. The voices of his wife and family members are sharp and hoarse. The faces of those who saw this scene on the roadside are pale, but the faces of the arresters are also pale.
Yes, everyone has a wife and daughter, including some soldiers and generals. This time, the Jurchens have set up various siege equipment outside the inner city wall and are asking for gold, silver, women, and those with various skills.
Craftsman, this kind of alliance under the city makes no sense. The entire treasury in the city has been emptied, and all kinds of treasures in the palace have been emptied.
The women are being moved out, and then the whole city is being searched to fill the number the Jurchens said. As for the women, all the prostitutes in the capital have been escorted out, and then there are the women who did not participate in the last war.
The wives and daughters of the people who guarded the city, and then there were no widows of men in the family. The widows would probably not be able to take care of them.
Tang Ke is already the prime minister, the most respected left prime minister in the dynasty. The reason why he reached this position is because he was the former peace advocate. The war faction is used to fight wars, and the peace faction is naturally used to negotiate peace. It is natural that the high officials in the court
It was expected that as a peacemaker, he would be extremely good at negotiating peace and be able to negotiate a better result with the Jurchens. However, how could a person negotiate without any chips in his hand?
There were cries and fights all the way, chaos and misery all the way, and some people fell in the middle of the road, yelling or begging. Tang Ke was sitting in the carriage, and there was no movement. All the orders were signed by him, including this time.
I am going to the house of Cai Jing and others, and I have an order to arrest the female family members in their house.
He just returned home and opened the door. In the courtyard, there were also the sounds of women crying and asking for permission. Among them was his most beloved granddaughter. She rushed over and was separated by the servants. Tang Ke's body and
With his fingers trembling a little, he turned out of the corridor next to him.
On this day alone, hundreds of women were gathered. Some of them were waiting for marriage, some were married, some had husbands and sons who died defending the city, and some had babies waiting to be fed in the city. Their families
They were crying outside, begging for mercy, and looking for various relationships, but everything was meaningless. At the end of the day, they were sent to the Jurchen army outside the city and began to be raped and entertained by the soldiers besieging the city.
On the same day, Emperor Jingping, who had only succeeded to the throne for half a year, also came to the Jurchen military camp, trying to please Wanyan Zongwang and quell the anger of the invaders. At this time, not many people knew that he would never come back.
But compared to what happened to nearly 100,000 people in the next two to three months, compared to what happened to tens of millions of people in the entire Wu Dynasty, his specific experience is actually nothing outstanding and worth writing about...
****************
At the same time, northwest, Qingjian City.
In the old house of the Zhong family, the old man looked at the lights hanging beside the bed, as if he had lost his mind. He had not spoken for a long time, only the weak rise and fall of his chest continued, but at a certain moment,
The ups and downs stopped.
There was a sound of crying.
Zhong Shidao, an old commander who guarded the famous western border town, passed away after being ill for several months.
The iron hooves of the Xixia people came rolling in. In this cold winter, everything was boiled in the boiling torrent (To be continued.)
ps: I originally thought it was very easy, but in the past episode, all the plots were almost brewing for more than a year, and some were even brewing for three or four years. After writing it, I breathed a sigh of relief, but when I started writing the new episode
