In the Battle of Gaoliang River, the entire 130,000 Liao army was wiped out except for the 30,000 Xi soldiers led by the rear army Xiao Qian.
Dozens of Liao generals and officials, including Yeluze, Xiao Laci, Yelu Beigan, Yelu Tuotuonu, Yelu Huli, Xiao Shizhong, Xiao Chilian, etc., either died or surrendered.
Xiao Qian led 30,000 Xi soldiers back to Nanjing City, and then more than 6,000 defeated troops fled back one after another, and then there were no more. The whole city was in an uproar, and fear and hesitation filled the entire city.
Especially in the west and south cities, every household heard cries. Among the 100,000 troops that were defeated in the expedition, there were at least 50,000 to 60,000 Khitan soldiers. Now they don’t know whether they are dead or alive. Of course, the family members are crying and grieving.
In the evening, dozens of torches appeared at the south gate and east gate. There was a rumor in the city that the Song army had arrived at the city and would attack the city tomorrow morning.
So the whole city was in panic, people screamed and horses neighed, and the whole night was chaotic.
At daybreak, I took a look and found that it was just a Song army sentry riding a probing horse. They circled around the city of Nanjing, turned around and left again.
Then the news kept coming, and the Song army, which had won a great victory, was not impatient and exerted its force one by one.
They successively captured Luxian, Huairou, Changping and Yuhe counties, and then formed a large circle with an army of 400,000, and slowly surrounded the city of Nanjing.
Four days later, the Song Army from the west actually appeared first. They occupied the commanding heights in Xiangshan and Xishan. Immediately, the Song Army from the east and south appeared one after another. Finally, the Song Army from the north also appeared six days later.
At this point, the city of Nanjing was surrounded by the Song Army.
In the past few days, the city of Nanjing has been undercurrent and turbulent.
Li Chuneng and Cao Yongyi led the left and right labor force money collection offices, and they were even more crazy about collecting money than before.
They openly raised the banner to collect labor money for the Song army. After collecting labor money from the Han people and Bohai people in the city, they targeted the Khitan and Xi people in the city.
The conscripts hired for the expropriation were all scoundrels in the city. Before the Battle of Gaoliang River, they only dared to break the bones and suck the marrow out of the Han people in the city and the Bohai people - intimidating and threatening, and resorting to all possible means, often destroying ten households in one street and one square.
Four or five households.
After the Battle of Gaoliang River, the faces of the conscripts in these collection stations changed, and they transformed into the "advance team" of the Song army. They poured into the West City and South City where the Khitan and Xi people lived, knocking on doors and smashing doors without any hesitation.
Threaten politely.
"You are all Khitan, Xi people. As soon as the King of the Song Dynasty enters the city, he will clean you up first. Pay the atonement money quickly to keep your whole family safe."
Forced by the power of the Song army outside the city, many Khitan and Xi people had no choice but to swallow their teeth and pay obediently, and received a crudely made paper painting with a picture printed on it that looked like a bird and a chicken.
Zheng Ding coaxed them and said: "When Master Wang enters the city, you put this picture of the phoenix on the door. The Song army will definitely not invade the autumn and keep your family safe."
Afterwards, he boasted and threatened, "You are lucky, the Song army only handed out 10,000 pieces. Scared, why only 10,000 pieces? The Song army worked hard to get to Yanjing, so they must make a fortune and go back. Okay.
, except for those who have posted peace charms, all the others must be snatched away."
"Those who do not have peace charms and those who have copper or iron in their homes will be confiscated. All the women in the family, ranging from ten to thirty or forty years old, will be taken away and given to the victorious officers and soldiers as wives. Scared.
, asking you if you are afraid! You are wise enough to spend money to buy talismans, you are blessed!"
Some Khitan people from the Xi tribe felt awkward after paying the money, and said angrily: "Why don't you see the nobles living next door selling peace charms?"
The conscripts are just telling lies.
"Those nobles have long been on the Song Army's directory. Whether they are dead or alive is not something we can decide. That is the book of life and death, and the one who can draw the outlines is the judge. We brats can't control it."
But there are also Khitan people. The people of the Xi tribe are unwilling to pay, and the threats and intimidations of the conscripts are useless. They will not give a cent. If they can, they will immediately recruit the Song army to destroy my whole family.
The conscripts were just following the wind, knowing that the courage of the Khitan and Xi tribesmen had been shattered by the Battle of Gaoliang River, they found a reason to blackmail them.
Now if they don't give it, these conscripts don't dare to take action. Now the city of Nanjing still belongs to Daliao, and Daliao is still in charge of the Khitan people. There are tens of thousands of Khitan and Xi soldiers in the city.
I had no choice but to leave angrily and find another family to take advantage of.
But for some unknown reason, the Khitan people refused to pay the money, and more and more Xi tribe people spread to four neighborhoods. The straw sandals of the conscripts were worn out, but they did not collect much money.
This won't work!
There are few rich people and many poor people among the Han people and Bohai people. Even if you break the bones and suck out the marrow, you won't be able to get much wealth. The Khitan and Xi people are considered to be the upper class people in the Liao Kingdom, especially those who can live in Nanjing City, even if they are ordinary people
Everyone can live without worries about food and clothing, and a casual extortion can be worth a dozen households of ordinary Han people.
How could such a fat sheep not be allowed to be harvested?
The Zhengding leaders were angry. They stared with buffalo-like eyes and called to the gathered Zhengding, preparing to find a chicken and kill it as a warning to others.
When I saw a Khitan family, there were only two and a half young men in the family, and the rest were old, weak, women and children. I rolled my eyes and realized that this was the family!
The two-and-a-half-year-old Khitans rudely refused the atonement money and angrily scolded the conscripts.
"You bastards who are only worthy of being slaves! In the past, when the Liao Dynasty was strong, you surrounded us Khitan people like dogs. Now that the Song people are here, you don't even see them, so you shyly want to give them to us."
They treat them like dogs. They don't even ask if they would accept your virtue!"
The scolding was so vicious! Leader Zhengding was so vicious that he rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, fighting with fists and kicks. These two young men were not to be outdone, and were well prepared. They drew out their long swords and straightened their long swords.
The spear rushed forward and gave the soldiers a bloody blow.
These two and a half young men really dare to take action!
The move goes straight to the point! - Several old men and women standing in the yard also held bows and arrows. As soon as the strings sounded, one of the soldiers was hit by an arrow.
What was this for? The soldiers who only had whistle sticks in their hands were scared out of their wits. Why couldn't they say something properly? Why did they wield swords, guns, bows and arrows when they disagreed?
The soldiers were so frightened that they ran away. The Khitan people nearby were not only relieved but also emboldened. The Song army is powerful, but isn't it still outside the city? We can't defeat the Song army, so why can't we defeat you scoundrels?
So the Khitan and Xi people in the nearby neighborhoods heard the news and moved from house to house. Men, women, old and young, armed with knives and spears, bows and arrows, surrounded them and beat the shit out of hundreds of soldiers - Khitan and Xi people, can they
They were provided with swords, guns, bows and arrows, but Han people and Bohai people did not have this treatment.
The hundreds of conscripts who were showing off their power and extorting money in various neighborhoods just now were like a group of mice, being chased and beaten. They were soon surrounded by Khitan and Xi people who rushed out from various neighborhoods, and then they fought with swords, guns, bows and arrows.
A volley was fired, and the account was settled immediately.
In the end, only a dozen conscripts fled back to the Han army's defense area in a hurry, and only then could they save their lives.
However, the riots caused by the conscripts did not subside. Thousands of Khitan and Xi people, armed with weapons, clamored to rush into the East City and North City, but were blocked by the Han army. Then the Liao Xing army appeared and fought with the Han army.
The confrontation almost led to a fight due to the atmosphere at the scene.
Fortunately, Yelu Dashi and Li Chuwen rushed over with the generals of the Liao Xing Army and the Han Army, held down their respective tribes, and then suppressed the Khitan, Xi, Han, Bohai and other ethnic groups who took the opportunity to make trouble, and then stopped it.
There was a bigger riot. This chapter has been completed!
