Chapter 359 Zhao Ji's Hengjian Wants to Kill Himself
Chapter 359 Zhao Ji is about to kill himself with his sword
At this time, Qingzhou had not yet experienced the turmoil caused by the invasion of Jin soldiers.
In the fertile fields outside the city, the potatoes that Wang Lin arranged to plant had a large harvest. Qingzhou Prefecture is arranging for farmers to harvest, and is preparing to use these tens of thousands of kilograms of potatoes as seeds again soon after the rain.
Plant again.
Yesterday, Wang Lin ordered someone to send to Qingzhou a batch of corn seeds that he had just redeemed.
Corn and potatoes are high-yielding crops that can greatly alleviate the Song Army's food crisis in the future.
The food and various materials that Murong Wan'er mobilized from Huainan, the southeast and overseas have been continuously transported to Dengzhou and then to Qingzhou through the newly opened sea channel.
The war was about to begin, and the secret workshops established outside Qingzhou City, as well as the Bohai Company's snowflake salt, sugar, chicken essence and other workshops were all in a state of continuous operation.
Overseas, Chao Gailu Zhishen led the Ruan brothers and others, together with some soldiers of the navy, gathered tens of thousands of troops, and had already crossed the sea in the name of pirates.
For the time being, we will be stationed in Wang Lin's enclave in Goryeo as our base camp.
The important missions of Chao Gai and the Liangshan troops were, on the one hand, to harass the coast of the Jin Kingdom so that the Jin people would not use all their strength to mobilize their troops south to invade the Song Dynasty; on the other hand, they were to protect the maritime trade caravans of the Bohai Sea merchants and ensure the sea and land logistics and transportation supply lines.
Smooth and safe.
To Wang Lin's expectation, Chao Gai and others also took in many wandering Koreans and foreigners overseas, such as the Khitan people wandering overseas.
The banner of "King of Zhenhai" was raised, and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
In early July, Chao Gai tentatively attacked Jin Kingdom Suzhou.
That is the Dalian coast in later generations.
The Jin Kingdom only had a force of less than a thousand households in Suzhou. More than 10,000 pirate Zhenhai Wang raided, beheaded hundreds of Jin people, set fire to loot, burned the city of Suzhou, and returned home with a full load.
The Kingdom of Jin was shaken.
Of course, compared with the bloody battle between the two countries in the Song Dynasty, these movements of Chao Gai overseas were nothing.
At this time, the population of Qing Rai Prefecture had expanded several times compared to before.
First, the prosperity of Qinglai attracted countless merchants and immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River.
Secondly, there are 100,000 family members of Qingzhou Army, thousands of family members of Liangshan people, and people who have immigrated and relocated from various states on Jingdong East Road, causing the population in Qinglai to expand densely.
The increase in population has brought economic and commercial prosperity, and also laid a solid foundation for Wang Lin's war preparations.
Business thrives.
From the perspective of Zhao Gou, who had been in Qingzhou for a long time, Qingzhou City became increasingly prosperous and unknowingly became one of the most important cities in the Song Dynasty.
The city that originally had a population of hundreds of thousands has long since exceeded one million, and the city has continued to expand in the past two years.
On the actually fertile Jiangbei Plain, vast tracts of wilderness have been gradually developed into fertile fields in the past two years, and it is now the wheat harvest season.
Wanyan Shili had been in Qingzhou for several months and was about to give birth.
Han Yan and other girls gathered in Wanyan Shili's room, chatting with her and comforting her for being alone in the Song Dynasty.
When he heard that Jin invaded the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Shili couldn't help but sigh.
It was Pan Jinlian who let slip the words.
Originally, the palace was hiding the secret from Wanyan Shili.
"Sisters, you don't have to worry. Shili knows it all. I have already given up my identity as the princess of the Kingdom of Jin since I came to your husband."
"I told Lang Jun that day that if the Jin Dynasty and Song Dynasty went to war, both sides would have their own abilities. If all my royal brothers were defeated by Lang Jun, it would be because of their lack of ability. It was destined to be like this..."
Han Yan and the other girls all remained strangely silent.
The Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty, and they were the enemies of the Song Dynasty.
But Wanyan Shili is Wang Lin's woman.
Wanyan Shili looked around at the girls, smiled, but said nothing.
Han Yan quickly changed the awkward topic, and the girls began to discuss eagerly that Wanyan Shili was going to give birth to a boy or a girl. Wanyan Shili smiled and said nothing.
She gently stroked her bulging belly. She did not mention the long conversation the high priest had with her before coming to Song Dynasty.
The high priest said that her son with the divine envoy would be the future king of the grassland, the inheritor of the Jurchen bloodline, and the successor of the high priest.
And the divine envoy is Wang Lin.
She will give birth to a child.
She was convinced.
…
Huazhou.
Yan Qing hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, good news! Hua Rong is in Jinan Prefecture, working with Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, to fight against the Jin. Huang Xin is in Zizhou, and has also defeated the Jin soldiers' siege one after another. Now ten thousand Jin soldiers have rushed westward.
Withdraw, Qinglai is not in danger for now!"
Wang Lin was ecstatic.
But his expression immediately changed, and he frowned and said, "Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture?"
How could he not know about Liu Yu?
Big traitor.
Pseudo Qi Emperor.
One of the puppet leaders supported by the Jin people.
Acting as a tiger's aid brings disaster to the country and the people.
But it is clear that it has not yet entered the stage of history.
Wang Lin felt murderous intent in his heart.
He muttered: "Xiao Yi, please order Hua Rong to keep an eye on this Liu Yu. I will make my own arrangements in the future."
Killing will naturally prevent future troubles, but Liu Yu has not committed any crime at this moment. In the face of a powerful enemy, killing one's own officials without permission will have too great a negative impact.
Yan Qing didn't know why Wang Lin paid so much attention to an official from Jinan Prefecture, so he bowed and accepted the order and left.
Wang Lin turned to look at Liang Hongyu's pretty face and chuckled: "Hongyu, let's go, go back and have a rest and drink with me!"
Wang Lin took the lead to walk down the tower.
Liang Hongyu's face turned slightly red and followed closely behind.
…
Tokyo.
Yanfu Palace, Yongdeok Palace.
Seeing that the ministers were divided into two groups, noisy and arguing, Zhao Ji's face turned red. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I am still here, but you have behaved disrespectfully in front of the king. Where do you put me?"
Zhao Ji was furious, and suddenly snatched his shining Emperor's Sword from the hands of the eunuch Huang Kun, and walked down Danqi holding it upside down.
The ministers were shocked and immediately stopped quarreling.
Li Gang frowned and looked at Wu Min quickly.
The emperor has become more and more deviant recently, and he has really lost all dignity as a king of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji suddenly put his sword under his neck and said coldly: "I have made up my mind. I want to move south, first to Yingtian Mansion, and then to Jiangnan. If you feel embarrassed, I can give the throne to the prince in the name of the Supreme Emperor.
, patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, is this okay?"
"If you don't agree, I will kill myself with my sword today!"
The courtiers roared.
Tang Ke and others knelt on the ground, wept bitterly and began to remonstrate.
Li Gang and Wu Min sighed and knelt down silently.
Zongze was so angry that he didn't believe that Zhao Ji dared to commit suicide.
But as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he threatened death and insisted on moving south. As a minister, what else could he say?
Zongze kowtowed to the ground angrily and said in a loud voice: "Officials, with all this going on, where is the state body of the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Ji sneered in his heart, if his life was at risk, why would he use the state body of the Song Dynasty? Is the state body a living thing?
Zhao Ji looked at Zongze coldly. He became more and more disgusted with Zongze. When the Jin soldiers retreated in the future, the first person he wanted to kill would be Zongze.
"Now there are only two ways. One, the ministers and the imperial court will follow me to move south, and the fight against the Jin Dynasty will be gradually planned; the other is, I will give the throne to the prince, and I will lead my troops to patrol the south of the Yangtze River alone. This is the defense of Tokyo and the fight against the Jin Dynasty.
The great cause of gold will be handed over to the new king and all his ministers!"
The sharp Emperor Sword in Zhao Ji's hand trembled slightly.
He held his sword across his neck and looked coldly at the ministers.
Li Gang, Wu Min, and Zongze were so angry that their whole bodies were shaking, and their minds went blank.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty, the majestic emperor, threatened the court in this way, just to escape for his life.
Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others were also slightly ashamed.
These civil servants fell to the ground, but they no longer opened their mouths to say anything about moving south.
Today's scene in Longde Hall, if recorded by historians, would leave an indelible stain: the Jin invaded and were about to attack the city. On that day, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others persuaded the emperor to move south. Li Gang, Wu Min,
Zongze and others strongly opposed it.
The emperor used the emperor's sword to force his subordinates to agree to move south on the pretext of committing suicide.
Escape.
And if it spreads, the whole country will be filled with overwhelming wailing and cursing.
The emperor fled in the face of battle, abandoning the capital and ignoring millions of people.
There was deathly silence in Longde Hall, and all the ministers could hear was Zhao Ji's rapid breathing.
But no one responded to him, and all the ministers bowed their heads and knelt in silence. He was the only one who still held the Emperor's Sword across his neck, and the sword body was shaking vigorously.
Zhao Ji was in a dilemma and his face turned red.
It must be bullshit to commit suicide. He is afraid of pain and even more afraid of death.
He was willing to threaten like this, but his subordinates ignored him, causing him to be unable to dismount.
Zhao Ji felt that his hands were shaking and numb, and he was about to rationalize his explanation when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of Longde Hall. Immediately, a soldier said with emotion: "The great victory in Huazhou, the King of Qi has reported victory, please report it to the officials quickly!"
…
"Report to the official family: In June of the second year of Xuanhe, I, King Qi, Wang Lin, led an army to attack Xingqing Mansion, the royal city of Xixia, and captured hundreds of Xixia royal family members, clan members, and courtiers. Emperor Li Qianshun of Xixia died of illness."
"The iron cavalry of the Fuhu Army under my command fought with the Xixia elite in the vast sea, and they won..."
"I made an alliance with Queen Yelu Nanxian of Xixia, and established a new emperor of Xixia. The new emperor of Xixia expressed his submission to the Song Dynasty, and we, the Song Dynasty, will forever be the kingdom of father and son. Xixia was established."
"I heard that the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty from the south, so I immediately led an army of 50,000 to assist Hebei and Henan."
"When I was in Weizhou, Hebei Province, I saw the Jin people slaughtering our officials and civilians wantonly. Corpses were strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowed."
"I and the troops cremated thousands of common people in Weizhou, and swore an oath on that day to tell the world to fight against the Jin soldiers and restore our mountains and rivers until death!"
"I led my army to attack Liyang one day later. I killed thousands of Jin people and Wanyangu and commanded five thousand cavalry. Liyang was victorious."
"In early July of the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, I led my army to Huazhou to rescue Zhang Taiwei... The next day, the city of Huazhou was destroyed, and Zhang Shu's night garrison of 20,000 men died in the battle, martyring his country.
I and the 50,000 cavalrymen under the command of Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, fought in the fields of Huazhou. The battle started from noon to dawn of the next day. The whole army fought to the death and beheaded more than 25,000 Jin people."
"Our army won a great victory in Huazhou! We captured the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi."
"I set up the capital to guard the south of the Yellow River to intimidate the Jin soldiers north of the Yellow River. At the beginning of July, our generals Hua Rong and Huang Xin under the command of the Fuhu Army defeated the Jin soldiers in Jinan Prefecture and Zizhou. At present, it is completed.
Yan Zongwang's tens of thousands of remnant soldiers gathered in Xiangzhou, Hebei Province, and I guarded the south of the Yellow River, hoping to find an opportunity to fight with the Jin people again..."
Wang Lin once again turned the tide and killed more than 40,000 golden soldiers!!!
Li Gang's voice was exciting and high-pitched, and the sound echoed in the hall. The ministers were greatly shocked. Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others felt as if they had been stuffed with shit, and their expressions were extremely complicated.
Until Zhao Ji's sudden wild laughter suddenly resounded in the hall: "Good! Very good! As expected, I am the great Song Dynasty who leads the sea with purple gold beams and holds the sky with white jade pillars, my disciple!"
I've been really busy lately, so I'll give you two updates for the time being.
