As the young soldier raised Wanyan Shouxu's head high, Li Ting and his companions applauded.
Li Ting picked up a flagpole from the city gate building and hung the heads of Wanyan Shouxu and Tian Zhuo on it. He also asked a subordinate who was literate to pull off a light-colored robe and dipped it in human blood and wrote two words on it.
Line characters: The first of the rebels Wanyan Shouxu, the first of the rebels Tian Zhuo."
After two rows of wet words were written, they hung under the head, like a wine cover.
While these people were writing and hanging their heads, the other soldiers peeled off the armor and stomach of the dead man separately, took the swords, guns, swords and halberds in their hands, and re-armed themselves to the teeth. There were several soldiers with severe burns on their bodies, and they were fighting in succession just now.
Their blisters burst and their flesh festered. They couldn't hold on any longer, so they sat near the city gate with swords and guns, firstly to guard the city gate, and secondly, waiting for reinforcements that would arrive at any time.
In a moment, everyone gathered.
The officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy never regarded themselves as soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. Now they killed an emperor with their own hands. The valve in the hearts of many people was completely opened. Everyone's eyes were blood red and they shouted excitedly: "
Go into the city and kill them all!"
"Wait!" Li Ting suddenly shouted.
Zuo Zuo asked: "Commander Jie, do you have any other instructions?"
"This line of writing is not good and the meaning is wrong. Take it down and change it."
The people on the left and right were stunned and cursed.
In this moment of fighting against time, what are you, Li Erlang, doing so hard for? Do you have to pretend to have read a book?
After all, he was a military envoy and a high official, so they had no choice but to disobey him. Everyone curled their lips and once again pulled out the white cloth and spread it out, eagerly waiting for Li Ting's instructions.
In the blink of an eye, the new two rows of words were written and hung again under the head, hanging down as the bamboo pole was raised.
Li Ting nodded with satisfaction: "Look, this is easy to understand and speaks directly to people's hearts. Isn't it much more appropriate?"
Everyone looked up and saw that the original two rows of words had been replaced by: "The dog head of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, the dog head of the Prime Minister of Jin Dynasty."
Dozens of soldiers outside laughed.
Several close friends in the inner circle were stunned.
Someone came close to Li Ting and whispered: "When we sent troops south, we said we were going to conquer the rebels! Commander-in-chief, the emperor of Jin is in Zhongdu, and our Duke Zhou is a loyal minister of the court..."
"What a ghost of a loyal minister! This trip to capture Kaifeng, at least tens of thousands of Jurchens were killed. Who still takes the name of this loyal minister seriously? It's because we have such strong soldiers and horses that we can replace the Jin Kingdom and establish a new dynasty. That's it.
Simply and neatly! The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin is the one who died in the hands of his brothers now, the sick emperor of Zhongdu, no matter what!"
At this point, Li Ting pushed the subordinate aside: "Just listen to me!"
Seeing the subordinate's hesitation, Li Ting slapped his chest loudly: "I, Li Erlang, have a clear mind, and I will definitely not make any mistakes!"
As for the rest of the soldiers, who doesn't like what Li Ting said?
First of all, everyone has been fighting with Duke Zhou for several years. Everyone knows that Ding Haijun is obviously not of the same mind as the Kingdom of Jin. It is just because the main enemy is the Black Tartars on the grassland that they always use the name of the Jin Army to avoid
There is no need to fight. As Daikin becomes more and more decayed, everyone has long been impatient.
Secondly, the navy ordered the navy to severely punish and reward generously, which placed great emphasis on military merit, and the fulfillment was real. So much so that after every battle, the soldiers would repeatedly calculate their own merits. Today, everyone snatched them from the fire scene and broke through the two cities of Kaifeng.
Of course it is already a great achievement. But if it can be counted as killing the emperor of an enemy country, is this merit more important than killing a traitor? There is a huge difference!
At the moment, everyone's eyes are shining, everyone is talking about it, the commander is handsome and the literary talent is outstanding. The meaning of this line is particularly clear and appropriate.
Dozens of people bravely raised their heads to clear the way, and continued to charge into the city.
In the early years, Dajin sent troops to the Central Plains, and the troops were fierce and violent, killing everyone at every turn. Under the rule of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, Bianliang, Tokyo, a city with millions of people, never recovered. Therefore, the number of people in Kaifeng City was less than one-third of what it was back then.
1. Later in Zhongdu, a large number of Jurchens from Hebei fled south. The Kaifeng court moved out of the inner city of Han'er and used its homes to house tens of thousands of people.
As the saying goes, a centipede will never freeze even if it dies. A cautious general would never easily lead dozens of people into the inner city where tens of thousands of Jurchens live.
But Li Ting has never been cautious. No matter how many losses he suffered or how many risks he took, he was still bold. Even his subordinates never knew what it meant to be prudent. So many of his partners were killed or injured.
There are only a few remaining troops, but everyone's morale and vigor have not diminished at all.
At this time, a calm and wise general is really inferior to a ruffian like Li Ting.
There were already rumors in the city of Kaifeng that the army had been defeated, all the generals were dead, and the high-status Jurchens were the first to receive the news. They immediately concluded that the overall situation was about to overturn.
Once this group of people fled wildly, they immediately caused chaos in the city. Immediately afterwards, some people set fire to and looted, trying to take advantage of the chaos to grab some treasures.
Because ordinary residential buildings in Kaifeng City are not very prosperous, except for the imperial palace, which was very luxurious after being built by King Hailing, the palace was the first to bear the brunt of the misfortune. What is ridiculous is that even Wanyan Jiuzhu, the leader of the bodyguards and soldiers, could not help it.
While participating in it, he also led people to overturn several five-color Japanese flags to unify the thoughts of his subordinates and prepare for their subsequent surrender.
In this situation, no one can stop Li Ting.
Li Ting swaggered into the city with two heads and ran rampant. Everyone he saw was horrified, and some even knelt down to beg for mercy. As a result, the entire city completely lost order.
In the waiter's bureau under the east gate of Duanmen, the young Fengyu Wanyan Chenglin climbed up the wall and looked at it for a long time.
Several times, huge crowds of people rolled past the door of the nearest waiter's bureau, trampling the scattered people who couldn't get out of the way. There were random fights, and even senseless massacres of women and children. Blood flew everywhere amidst the whines and cries. Wanyan Chenglin was shocked several times.
I was so frightened that my teeth chattered, but I kept insisting on looking.
After a while, the soles of his feet that were standing on the raised bricks on the wall almost cramped, and he could no longer bear the weight. He had to turn over and fall to the ground, and then he collapsed on the ground, making meaningless sounds.
.
He was frightened by this crazy scene of killing each other, but more importantly, it was the extreme despair brought about by the emperor's death.
Wanyan Chenglin's ancestor was Emperor Gailibo, the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty. He fled from the country at the beginning of the year. Because of his loyal and diligent character and his strong skills, he was taken by the emperor to serve as an imperial minister and served on him every day.
During these days, Wanyan Chenglin watched with his own eyes the emperor's determination to innovate the government and strive to make a difference; he watched the emperor repeatedly check files and formulate policies, so that he could not sleep at night.
He practiced martial arts with the emperor, and often thought of dying in the battlefield for the emperor. When it came time to face danger, the emperor said that they were too young and there was no need to take such risks, so he let him and several equally young companions
Stay at the waiter's station and wait for the dust to settle.
Wanyan Chenglin became impatient after waiting for a short time. He wanted to leave the Attendant Bureau and go to Suzaku Gate to ask about the battle situation. However, as soon as he put on a light plate-collar robe and black leather boots, he heard that Wanyan Xielie had rebelled and the army was completely
Failure. After a while, thieves rushed into the inner city from the direction of Zhuque Gate. They held up two heads and said they were the heads of Emperor Wada Shenzheng!
Wanyan Chenglin only glanced at the group of people from a distance and felt restless and breathless.
When the group of people passed the gate for the second time, Wanyan Chenglin used his eyesight enough and finally saw clearly. He was angry, he was afraid, he was desperate, and he lost control of his emotions.
He lay on the ground, yelling meaninglessly, yelling twice and jumping up again. The tears on his face had already flowed over his cheeks, flowing from the corners of his mouth to his neck. He stretched out his hands to wipe them, but the more he wiped them, the more tears fell.
Can't stop.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Originally, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Ding Navy was in the north, the emperor could have revitalized Dajin, controlled at least half of Dajin, and slowly reaped benefits from the Southern Dynasty by relying on the remaining power of his ancestors.
Unfortunately, all the emperor's efforts were to continue the Jurchens' regime. But it was the Han people who he could rely on for government affairs.
As the Jurchens from Zhongdu and Hebei continued to move south, the original unity and unity of the Kaifeng court was constantly diluted. The more Jurchens there were, the more party struggles in the court, and the more powerful officials and nobles fought for power.
In front of those people, the emperor's efforts to govern had no effect at all. He was like a small dam, trying to shake the direction of the river, which was simply impossible.
What's even more troublesome is that there are millions of Jurchens with millions of mouths, and the Jurchen nobles among them can consume as much as a hundred or a thousand people. Some Jurchen clans are even so old that they are lying in bed.
Unable to move, the emperor had to continue to allocate huge amounts of salary to him from the increasingly tight treasury.
The Nanjing Road boundary actually controlled by the Kaifeng imperial court could not withstand the beating of so many Jurchens.
The emperor had to send troops to the Southern Dynasties in an attempt to obtain more benefits and appease people's hearts.
Such an action not only failed to gain any benefit, but also consumed all the money, food and materials that were already in embarrassment. Once the Dinghai navy arrived, the imperial court was like a vulnerable piece of rotten wood, and the country was in danger. The emperor had to personally go to the front line to motivate the soldiers.
Fight.
result……
We failed, failed completely, the emperor is dead!
The emperor who took care of his servants and the subjects of Dajin like an elder brother is dead!
Wanyan Chenglin was so painful that he was shaking all over. He drew the knife from his waist and held it tightly, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'm going to kill them! I'm going to avenge the emperor!"
After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard.
He had some prestige among the young attendants. Several companions stood up hesitantly and wanted to follow him. Before they could take a step, they suddenly heard the heavy footsteps of many people coming from outside the courtyard gate.
They only had time to be surprised when the courtyard door was pushed open violently, and a big man shouted: "Hudun! Is Hudun here?"
Following his footsteps, hundreds of people rushed in, occupying half of the courtyard in an instant.
Wanyan Chenglin was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Hudun was his Jurchen name. Then he looked at the big man who asked, was it his brother Wanyan Chengyi?
Wanyan Chengyi went out to serve as an official ten years ago, and he had not seen Wanyan Chenglin for a long time. He was originally the official of Zhilintao Mansion and the general manager of the army and horse capital of this route. He returned to the court a few days ago to report on his duties and was already scheduled to serve as Marshal Zuo Dujian.
Xingshuai Mansion Yu Fengxiang.
Because of this appointment, many people in Kaifeng compared the two brothers to Wanyan Xielie and Wanyan Chen, monks, thinking that they were the result of the emperor who was fed up with the nobles in Zhongdu and continued to promote his cronies and grassroots Jurchens.
.
"Brother, I'm here!"
Wanyan Chenglin responded repeatedly: "Brother brought these people here to fight with the enemy? Count me in!"
He waved the knife repeatedly and couldn't help crying again: "I must kill a few thieves today to avenge Your Majesty!"
Wanyan Chengyi stretched out his hand and snatched the dagger away.
"Hudun, there is no need for you to fight. Let me ask you, are you familiar with the roads in the palace?"
"What?"
"The roads in the palace!" Wanyan Chengyi smiled with a smile on his face and hugged Wanyan Chenglin's neck: "You usually serve His Majesty, so you must be familiar with the roads in the palace, right? You must also know the location of the imperial seal, right?
"
"Wha, what?"
The young man asked in shock: "What does Baoxi have to do with us? Brother, I just saw that there are not many enemies entering the city. There is only a group of people running back and forth. We can at least kill them..."
Wanyan Chengyi suddenly became impatient and shouted: "I said, do you know where the precious seal is?"
He pushed Wanyan Chenglin down and pressed his chest:
"The city is in chaos, and Marshal Wanyan Congtan's troops outside the city have also been defeated. In half an hour at most, Ding Haijun's troops will enter the city in large numbers! The Kingdom of Jin is over! Hurry up and lead the way, let's go into the palace to seize the treasure.
Seal, rob some more gold and silver, and leave immediately from Shunyi Gate. We all have good horses with us. As long as we get to Lintao, we can manage the situation with our treasure seal and wealth. If it doesn't work, we will surrender to the Song and Xia people.
, even surrendering to Guo Ning, with the merit of presenting the precious seal, he will not miss out on glory and wealth!"
Wanyan Chengyi said a lot in one breath, and the blood vessels in Wanyan Chengyi's neck burst out. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Ding Haijun will enter the city soon. Wanyan Jiuzhu is already searching everywhere in the palace. Please pay attention to us."
It’s the same, we don’t have much time! Do you understand? Nod if you understand!”
Wanyan Chenglin nodded.
Wanyan Chengyi let go of his hand and asked him to stand up.
Wanyan Chenglin had just stood still when he suddenly screamed wildly, kicking and beating his brother: "The emperor is dead! The emperor is dead! As an important minister of Dajin, you still think about this! Do you still want to be rich?"
The young man was trembling all over, so much so that his voice trembled when he spoke: "Wealth and honor? Dajin is about to perish. What's the use of being rich and honorable?"
Wanyan Chengyi explained a few words in succession, but the young man didn't listen at all and just kicked and beat him desperately.
Wanyan Chengyi grabbed him and shouted, "Lead the way! I want you to lead the way!"
The young man punched his brother in the face and shouted at his subordinates: "The emperor treats us badly! We must avenge him!"
After several attempts, Wanyan Chengyi finally became impatient. He grabbed the young man's neck and pushed him against the back courtyard wall.
The two brothers were ten years apart in age. As a powerful general who was accustomed to fighting in Longyou, how could Wanyan Chenglin's physical strength be comparable to that of a young man who was still young? Wanyan Chenglin could not withstand this push, and his whole body was shaken
It flatly pressed against the courtyard wall and made a muffled "bang" sound.
Wanyan Chengyi still felt that it was not enough and pushed twice more, making a dull impact sound every time.
The young man stopped talking.
Wanyan Chengyi felt that his decisive measures had an effect. He shook the young man's body and shouted: "Don't go crazy! Wake up quickly and lead the way!"
A subordinate from behind suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "Captain, please stop, something seems wrong!"
Wanyan Chengyi frowned and shook his hand twice more, only to find that the originally manic young man not only did not speak, but also did not move. His head and body were hanging softly, and they were pressed against the wall by Wanyan Chengyi's arms.
noodle.
Wanyan Chengyi suddenly let go, and the young man collapsed to the ground. His hands, feet and body were twisted unnaturally. Looking at his face facing the sky, his eyes did not avoid the sun and had begun to scatter.
It turned out that there was a brick about three or four inches protruding from the wall just opposite the back of the young man's head. There should have been a brick wall here, but it was later demolished, leaving behind this little trace. It was this brick.
The sharp corner just collided with the back of Wanyan Chenglin's head.
The bricks were covered with thick blood,
Wanyan Chengyi turned Wanyan Chenglin's body over at once and saw the back of the young man's head, which was like a fruit with a hole punched out by an awl. Through the broken bones, one could see the gray-white tissue and mesh inside.
of slender blood vessels.
He was lying on his back with blood on the ground behind his head. Now he was turned over, and blood gurgled out from the depression in his head, like a hot spring, which was even hotter than the hot weather.
Wanyan Chengyi cursed.
He looked at the earth-colored crowds on his left and right, opened his mouth, but could only remain silent. After a while, he managed to pull himself together and said loudly: "In this world, people's lives are not as good as grass. He himself is young and has no blessings. He can't blame me!"
He nodded his head left and right.
Wanyan Chengyi rubbed his hands and walked out. After walking a few steps, he came back and pointed at the other young Fengyu in the courtyard: "Take them with you! Let them show you the way! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed immediately!"
A group of warriors rushed up and took the people away.
Someone interrupted and asked: "Wanyan Jiuzhu is already in the palace. He is the commander of the bodyguards and the army and has corresponding duties. If he bumps into us, he will be held accountable..."
"The emperor is dead! Dajin is dead! Do you still need to ask such a stupid question?" Wanyan Chengyi cursed angrily: "Do the bodyguards and soldiers deserve an egg? Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed immediately!"
