Chapter 73: Long Xin Qiji in Ci, White-robed General Chen Qingzhi
In Xia Kingdom and Jiangzhou City, there was a heavy atmosphere of imminent rain and impending war.
The current situation is that most of the counties under Jiangzhou County have fallen into the hands of the Yun Kingdom. More than 200,000 Yun troops are approaching the city. Jiangzhou County, the heart of the Xia Kingdom and the thoroughfare to all counties, is about to fall.
like!
Among the government offices in the city, the officials of the Xia State were not interested in running errands. Even nearly 40% of the local officials, since the Yun army besieged the city, have been directly missing their daily duties and have disappeared. As a result, the current administrative system of Jiangzhou City has also disappeared.
It can only barely keep functioning.
On the bustling streets of the past, there are now very few people. Occasionally, I see a few figures, which are ordinary people carrying large and small bags on their backs, carrying the elderly and supporting the young, and hurriedly leaving the city to seek refuge.
The only east city gate that was not blocked by the Yun army seemed "busy" at this time.
People fleeing from the city gathered here and crowded the place to the limit. Under the crowd, there were roars and curses, panic, and the sounds of women and children crying and wailing together, resounding at the city gate.
In the past, the imperial officials, who were so powerful that they were avoided by the common people, were now blocked at the city gate by a group of panicked common people who no longer cared about other people, unable to advance or retreat.
But at this moment, the southwest summons the Si Yamen.
Zimmer, who was wearing a brand-new armor, well-groomed and quite majestic, still sat calmly on the throne, writing furiously in his hand.
After he finished writing the secret letter in his hand and dried the ink, Zimmer carefully handed the secret letter into the hands of the guards around him and said in a deep voice:
"Send this secret letter back to Jinling City and deliver it to His Majesty personally!"
When the soldier heard this, his expression was moved, his lips curled up, and for a moment he didn't even dare to reach out his hand to pick it up.
Now in Jiangzhou City, the high officials of the court and the chief officials of all government offices have all evacuated. All the military equipment and equipment have been transported out as much as possible. There are only less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in the entire city to defend the city.
.
At this point in the situation, it is obvious that Jiangzhou City cannot hold on.
Combined with the fact that Zimo had previously issued a military order to defend Jiangzhou City, the secret letter handed to the soldiers in front of him seemed to be Zimo's own final letter.
The soldier hesitated for a long time, and then whispered:
"Master Marquis, you have tried your best. Even if you evacuate now, Your Majesty will never blame you..."
The Yun army focused on seizing the city and did not trap Jiangzhou City at all. At the east city gate, the Xia army was still allowed to enter and exit freely. If Qimo wanted to evacuate, it would not be difficult at all.
But at this time, Zimmer shook his head firmly.
When the city of Yongzhou was destroyed and the southwestern defense line collapsed because of a mistake on his part, he felt that he was too embarrassed to return to Jinling City and had a death wish in his heart. Because the situation in the southwestern part of the country had deteriorated, and for the sake of the safety of the court, he could only press the button
With a desire to die, he reluctantly takes charge of the overall situation and maintains the situation.
And now, with the city of Jiangzhou about to be destroyed, how could he listen to his subordinates' advice and leave?
The soldier wanted to persuade him, but he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the lobby.
Following the sound, Gong Yingzong happened to be standing outside the hall at this time.
When Zimmer saw this, he immediately waved his hand and said solemnly:
"Go, don't delay!"
When the soldier heard this, his lips trembled, he couldn't help but sigh, he suddenly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, then turned around and left quickly.
Qimo breathed a sigh of relief, waved to Gong Yingzong who was standing outside the hall, and said:
"Mr. Gong, please come in!"
Gong Yingzong nodded, walked slowly into the lobby, and said in a deep voice:
"The imperial edict has been issued, and I will be transferred to the capital to serve in front of the emperor. I came here today to say goodbye to the Marquis."
Zimmer nodded without surprise and said:
"Mr. Gong has outstanding talents. He should go to the capital to offer advice to His Majesty, Daxia, so that it would not be considered an insult!"
Although Gong Yingzong had tried many strategies before, none of them had been successful, but his talent had indeed been noticed by the top officials of the Xia Kingdom.
Many strategies have failed, and we can only blame the Yun Kingdom for being loved by heaven and earth, with capable ministers and fierce generals, and an endless supply of talented and wise men. The front of the army is even more unstoppable, and it looks at everything...
After Gong Yingzong was silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Before leaving, if the Marquis has anything to explain, I will do my best to help you!"
Hearing this, Qi Mo lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice:
"Although I am incompetent, I have been in the army for many years, served the country, and traveled to the frontiers, and I have also worked hard. Your Majesty attaches great importance to love and justice, and will definitely treat my family well. I have no worries. I have already made clear the arrangements for the evacuation of troops and horses.
I have done my best for the state affairs of the court, and I have nothing to explain..."
Hearing this, Gong Yingzong nodded slightly, bowed and turned around to leave.
But at this time, Zimmer seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately said:
"Wait a moment!"
Gong Yingzong paused, turned around quickly, and said:
"What did the Marquis think of?"
Zimmer frowned tightly and said solemnly:
"Although the defeat of Yongzhou City was due to a mistake on my part, I couldn't figure out one thing. At that time, the Yongzhou City was clearly heavily guarded and patrolled by the army. How could spies from the Yun Kingdom be so easily in the city?
Provoke unrest?"
When Gong Yingzong heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he also frowned.
There is a word "dark" in the word "secret agent", which naturally means that he cannot be on the stage and can only stir up troubles in the dark.
Yun Guo's East Factory, Sticking Rod Department, usually uses sharp and pervasive methods. But during the battle of Yongzhou City, the Xia army took over the defense of the city and put Yongzhou City under tight security. Yun Guo put Yongzhou City under military surveillance.
Why did the secret agent cause trouble in Yongzhou City?
"What does the Marquis want to say?" Gong Yingzong asked in a condensed voice.
Qi Mo pondered for a long time and said in a deep voice:
"Please find out how the Yun Kingdom's spies used to cause trouble on the night when the city of Yongzhou was destroyed. As long as you find out this, you should be able to explain why the Yun Kingdom's spies are so rampant in our territory of Daxia!"
Hearing this, Gong Yingzong narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"At that time, who else in Yongzhou City could walk freely in the city?"
"Control was extremely tight at that time, and the documents issued by the Yongzhou government were not effective. Apart from the commander's seal and command arrows, only officers above the lieutenant colonel level could walk freely..."
After hearing what Qi Mo said, Gong Yingzong's eyes sharpened and his tone was low and authentic:
"No, there should be another team..."
Having said this, Gong Yingzong waved his brocade embroidered clothes, revealing the embroidered clothes badge around his waist, and said in a deep voice:
"Yongzhou Embroidery Envoy!"
When Qi Mo heard this, his pupils shrank, showing an extremely horrified look.
The Embroidered Clothes Envoy, a combination of Yun Guodongchang and Sticky Rod, is a close soldier of the Emperor of Xia and serves as the emperor’s eyes and ears. He has spies all over the world. Secrets of the government and the public cannot escape the Embroidered Clothes Envoy’s surveillance. No matter how big or small a crime in Daxia is, all crimes must be investigated first.
The files of the Yishi will be taken over by Tingwei.
With such a powerful organization, Yun Guo can reach out to the Yongzhou Embroidered Clothes Envoys, but what about the Embroidered Clothes Envoys from other places? This is more terrifying than the many yamen that Yun Guo had penetrated into the Xia Dynasty before!
Thinking of this, Zimmer's voice suddenly became louder and he said:
"This matter is of great importance, and we must investigate it thoroughly! I will write another letter immediately, describing the key points, and you will hand it over to His Majesty!"
When Gong Yingzong heard this, he slightly cupped his hands and said immediately:
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis!"
Without saying a word, Qi Mo hurriedly wrote another letter and solemnly handed it over to Gong Yingzong.
At this moment, a general quickly walked into the hall, knelt on one knee and said urgently:
"Commander, the Yun army outside the city sent a letter with arrows, informing the generals in the city that they will formally attack the city tomorrow and completely trap the four gates outside the city... The lieutenant general saw the Yun army's ultimatum, and his morale was low, and some soldiers even fled.
Wall!"
Jiangzhou City is located on a thoroughfare, with Xia Kingdom territory behind it. The Xia Army retreated slightly and then retreated into Xia Kingdom territory, making it difficult to pursue them. So now, the Yun Army can only think about capturing Jiangzhou City as soon as possible.
.
The purpose of encircling three and missing one was to leave a way for Xia's army and the people in the city to survive, so that they would not want to defend Jiangzhou City to the death.
The ultimatum issued at this time was also intended to undermine the morale of the Xia army and make the Xia army soldiers guarding the city feel like abandoned sons and unwilling to defend to the death.
When Qi Mo heard his subordinates report to the school, he frowned, then slowly stood up, looked at Gong Yingzong, and said in a deep voice:
"You should leave as soon as possible! I will go there in person and sit on the city wall to try my best to stabilize the morale of the army..."
Even after Gong Ying heard this, he didn't say anything more. He just took a deep look at Zimo, then turned around and left quickly with Zimo's handwritten letter.
Zimmer took a deep breath, tossed his cloak behind him, and, surrounded by his own soldiers, went to sit in the army.
On that day, all Xia officials and most of the people in Jiangzhou City were evacuated.
In the early morning of the next day, as the sun was rising, more than 200,000 elite Yun troops were dispatched, trapping the entire Jiangzhou City to death. Before Hai Shi arrived, the cry of killing could already be heard outside Jiangzhou City.
The siege equipment was deployed in unison, and arrows and stones fell like rain. The soldiers of the Yun army were not afraid of death and rushed to kill them. Attacking from all sides, Jiangzhou City was on the verge of collapse.
Commander Qi Mo personally led troops and horses to patrol the city wall. At any section of the city wall where the Yun army was attacking fiercely and the situation was critical, he was willing to take the lead and lead his troops to fight. For several days after the Yun army attacked the city, he did not go down the city wall for several days.
, eating, drinking and having diarrhea are all here.
Qimo had a death wish, was loyal, brave and passionate, and defended the city, which is certainly worthy of the world's praise.
But unfortunately, Jiangzhou City, which had withdrawn most of its soldiers and horses, now only has 20,000 soldiers and horses at full strength. In order to retain some vitality for the court, most of the soldiers and horses left to defend the city are local county soldiers.
Yun's army of more than 200,000 troops came in panic and overwhelming force. Even though the city of Jiangzhou was high and the pond was deep, it was difficult to resist.
Seven days after the army attacked the city, the outer city of Jiangzhou City was destroyed. Zimmer was seriously injured, but he still gritted his teeth and led the remaining troops to retreat to the inner city and resisted tenaciously.
On the eleventh day of the siege, the morale of the Xia army was exhausted, they were completely defeated, and the inner city was broken.
Zimo was hit by more than ten arrows and could not even get up to fight, but he still led his soldiers to retreat to the southwest to attack Si Yamen. After guarding for half a day, Qimo realized that the situation was over, so he dispersed his soldiers at night and started a fire.
Self-immolation.
It was night, and the fire of the Southwest Recruiting Division soared into the sky.
Jiangzhou City is destroyed!
------------------
In the Qingcheng City of Yun State, among the Imperial Palace and Xuanzheng Hall.
All officials gathered together, Xiao Cheng wore imperial robes and a crown, and ascended to the palace for a grand meeting.
Attendant Feng Bao stepped forward with the imperial edict in hand and read aloud:
"In response to Tianshun's timing, and under the command of Ziming, Emperor Dayun issued an edict:
If you are not a wise man, you will be prosperous if you get scholars. If you seek economic talents, you will be awarded the post of Bi Xie. Those who are going to be scholars in today's science should be wise but far-sighted, have a wide range of tools and use them well, have profound precepts, and practice high-minded kindness.
study.
Give Jinshi birth status, give Jinshi uniforms, and stay in various ministries for six months to observe the administration. Then they will be granted official positions in the court. If you are exhausted, you will be single-minded, and you will achieve great results for the common people. The monarch and his ministers will be upright, and do not forget the rules of donation and acceptance.
Kudos to this!"
In the hall, a group of new scholars in red robes immediately knelt down on the ground and congratulated in unison:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Due to the imperial examination fraud case, the current imperial examination has been postponed for a full three months. The local government schools have expedited the postponement, so that the imperial examination results were finally released at the end of the year.
On the dragon chair, Xiao Cheng's twelve-colored crown covered his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
But from the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, it could be seen that Xiao Cheng was in an extremely happy mood at this time.
On the golden finger panel that only Xiao Cheng could see, the attributes of a group of new scholars were displayed.
In more than two years, everyone in the world has seen the future of the officials in Yun State's court who have passed the imperial examination and have won the trust of scholars from hundreds of schools of thought.
Although there was a case of imperial examination fraud this year, it was eventually discovered and stopped by the court, so it was considered harmless.
Therefore, both the quantity and quality of the current imperial examination candidates are much higher than the results of the imperial examinations in the previous two years. The average value of many attributes of the new imperial examination candidates is around 70.
You must know that when Xiao Cheng came to power and the Yun Kingdom court went through several rounds of purges, the number of civil and military officials in the palace who had an attribute of over seventy could only be counted on both hands.
What makes Xiao Cheng even more happy is that there are two names on the golden finger panel at this time, showing a strange brilliance, eye-catching and conspicuous!
[Xin Qiji, an official, general, writer, and bold poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, is known as the "Dragon of Ci".
When he was born, Shandong was occupied by the Jin people. When he was young, he participated in the Geng Jing uprising, led fifty cavalry in the army, and captured and killed the traitor Zhang Anguo. Later he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty and contributed "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" and "Nine Discussions", etc.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Well, Chen Qingzhi's record is still a bit controversial, but judging from his record, he can definitely be called a famous general.
In fact, when I encountered this kind of character attribute problem before, I always blamed it directly on the game settings and had nothing to do with the author. But no matter what, I didn't find Chen Qingzhi in the game...
Therefore, I can only rely on the settings in my article!
