After the Jin soldiers invaded, they marched all the way to Tokyo.
Zhang Shuye led his troops to Tokyo for rescue. They fought bloody battles all the way into Tokyo and took over the defense of Tokyo. However, all other troops were defeated by the Jin soldiers in the field. Even the veteran Zong Ze was unable to break through the Jin soldiers' blockade and rush to rescue.
In Tokyo, Zhang Shuye was finally outnumbered, defeated and captured. Tokyo was also captured, and almost all of the Zhao and Song royal families were kidnapped.
After the Jin soldiers broke through Tokyo, they also knew that there were many anti-Jin troops in the Central Plains and did not dare to stay for a long time, so they supported Zhang Bangchang, an important official of the Song Dynasty, to be the puppet emperor to disrupt the influence of the Zhao and Song royal families in the Central Plains. At the same time, they forced Zhang Bangchang, a highly prestigious civil and military assistant in the Song Dynasty, to
Shu Ye was naturally the target of their threats and inducements, but Zhang Shuye was not afraid of life and death and sternly refused the Jin people's threats.
When the Jin people saw that Uncle Zhang would not surrender at night, they also included him in the team going north.
After Zhang Shuye crossed the boundary river, he knew that he would never be able to return to his homeland, so he immediately went on a hunger strike and died. His sons Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong also committed suicide.
When later generations of Chao Yong saw the disgrace of Jingkang, they also searched hard for information. In addition to hating the brutality of the Jin people, they also hated the loss of blood of the Han people. Thousands of Zhao and Song royal families and ministers were captured in the disgrace of Jingkang.
, but suicide
Chao Yong checked a lot of information, but only found out that Zhang Shuye and his second son committed suicide. The remaining one was Song Qinzong's empress Zhu who committed suicide unwilling to be humiliated. The others were lingering on, suffering the abuse of the Jinren.
The Zhao and Song dynasties can be said to be the dynasty that treated the literati most favorably and suppressed the military men. However, in the end, there were almost no literati who were willing to accompany the Zhao and Song dynasty to death, while many military men died in battle. This was also true for the Zhao and Song dynasty.
It's extremely ironic.
Chao Yong personally untied Zhang Shuye's body, shook his head and sighed: "Master Zhang is both civil and military, and has the talent to govern the world. It is a pity that Zhao Ji is mediocre and favors treacherous ministers, so Master Zhang can only live in a low position."
Although Zhang Shuye was a little unhappy, he did not want to be provoked by Chao Yong, and said with a righteous face: "I can benefit the people in the local area, and I have no regrets."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Master Zhang's talent should have benefited more people, but he is relegated to a local place. Isn't it true that he is overqualified and underused?"
Although Zhang Shuye felt that what Chao Yong said was right, he did not want to talk to Chao Yong any more and said: "You say so much just because you want me to betray the imperial court like Zhao Mingcheng. I only have one sentence.
, nothing but death.”
Chao Yong was not upset. If Zhang Shuye surrendered easily, he would no longer be Zhang Shuye. He would not have invited Zhao Mingcheng back then, but would have invited Zhang Shuye. Although Zhang Shuye was not as good as Zhao in rank,
He is very upright, but he is upright by nature, and he has always had prestige in the clear stream.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I know that Mr. Zhang is not afraid of death, and even Mr. Zhang's two young masters are not afraid of death."
When Zhang Shuye heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "My Zhang family has always been loyal and filial to the family. I believe they will regard death as home. Don't even think about using them to threaten me."
When Chao Yong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. I have always admired you and your son. How could I use my family to threaten you?"
When Zhang Shuye heard about his family, his expression changed. When the three of them, father and son, went into battle, they were prepared to die. However, thinking that the old, weak, women and children in the family might also be missing their heads, he couldn't help but look angrily and glared at Chao Yong.
: "I heard before that you Liangshan heroes are doing justice for heaven, and I thought you were different from ordinary grass bandits, but I didn't expect that you are also just as despicable and dirty as usual."
Chao Yong didn't react for a moment and asked curiously: "What do you mean by Master Zhang's words?"
Zhang Shuye sneered and said: "Don't tell me that you will kill my whole family. Even if you dig up my ancestral graves, you won't want me to betray the imperial court."
The ancestral graves were the most valued by the ancients, especially the wealthy families who were particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots. Only refugees would bury them casually in their ancestral graves. What Zhang Shuye said was serious.
Only then did Chao Yong react and hurriedly said: "Master Zhang has misunderstood. Maybe I will threaten others, but I will never threaten you. I also want to ask Master Zhang to benefit the people of Liang, but I will never use force.
I will send someone to take you to Qingzhou. Mr. Zhang, take a look at me.
No matter how Liang treats the people, if he is not willing to be an official by then, I will not be embarrassed. However, in order to prevent Mr. Zhang from opposing me, Daliang, I also ask Mr. Zhang to live in Qingzhou for a while until I, Daliang, unify the country.
No matter where Mr. Zhang wants to go, I will never make it difficult for you."
Zhang Shuye didn't expect that Chao Yong would treat him so favorably, and couldn't help but wonder: "I don't have any extraordinary political achievements, I just want to be an upright official. I just made some meritorious deeds in the northwest battlefield before, but tonight's battle
, was also defeated and captured. I'm really curious about what you value in me."
Chao Yong naturally couldn't say that he just admired his integrity and said with a smile: "First, the world is turbid now and the world is full of corrupt officials. It is still difficult to find an upright official like Mr. Zhang. Second, Mr. Zhang
In terms of military affairs, he is still very foreseeable. But it is a pity that the troubles in Jeju cannot be hidden from me, otherwise the success or failure of this night attack will not be known."
After Zhang Shuye took office, he also carefully investigated the details of Liangshan. After learning that Chao Gai was a local hero, he expelled all the ruffians in the city and arrested some spies. He also knew that there must be Liangshan in Jeju City.
The thieves, after making a plan, immediately had the city gates closed and prohibited entry and exit, but unexpectedly the news spread.
Once the strategy is revealed, it will become a head-on confrontation. It is not surprising that the Imperial Army, which has just returned from a major defeat, will be defeated by Liang's troops again.
When Zhang Shuye heard what Chao Yong said, his frustration was reduced a lot. He shook his head and said: "I have also heard about some of your actions in Qingzhou. You are indeed heroes who uphold justice for heaven. But now our Central Plains is in the midst of internal and external troubles.
on occasion, if
If the Central Plains is in chaos, it will only be invaded by the foreign tribes from the north, and all life will be ruined. I believe that the virtuous father and son are also people who understand the righteousness. I can ask for an imperial edict on your behalf, and all the heroes will serve the court together, which can also give up the idea of foreign invasion."
Li Kui was glared at by Chao Yong just now and did not dare to speak. When he heard that Zhang Shuye actually asked them to surrender, he couldn't help but jumped out again and said: "We can become the emperor when we fight in Tokyo, why bother to go to the emperor?"
I’m so angry with you.”
Chao Yong did not ask Li Kui to step down this time. Instead, he echoed: "As a fatuous emperor like Zhao Ji, who favors treacherous ministers, if we enter the court, we will be tricked by them sooner or later."
Zhang Shuye shook his head and said: "The emperor of the current dynasty was originally a sage and wise king, but he was deceived by treacherous ministers for a while. In the long run, he will definitely bring things back to order, and we will be able to use him again."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Zhao Ji is indeed talented in calligraphy and painting, but he will not be a good emperor. A traitor like Cai Jing can become prime minister several times. If Zhao Ji changes the chaos, the world will be dead. Mr. Zhang is also against the alliance.
The man who destroyed the Liao Dynasty during the Jin Dynasty?"
Zhang Shuye nodded and said: "Although I have never seen the Jin people, I have fought with the Qiang people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people. These tribes grew up in poor places and are indeed braver than me Han people. This Jin people can
Defeating the Liao people will probably make them even more powerful. Forming an alliance with them will undoubtedly be seeking the skin of a tiger. They have been fighting against the Fan tribe all the year round.
All the generals of the Western Army opposed the alliance with Jin to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and General Zhong Shidao wrote many times to object to this matter. However, the court was filled with people like Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Cai You and other ingratiators. Cai Jing had also opposed it before.
After joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, he was forced to take up an official position, and the situation between North Korea and China became one-sided, and he finally reached an alliance with the Jin Kingdom."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Although Tong Guan and others are treacherous ministers who wield power, it would be unfair to them to put all the responsibility on them."
Zhang Shuye said in confusion: "They are the ones taking the lead, so why is it unfair?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I'm afraid the biggest fighter is Zhao Ji? If he hadn't wanted to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, how could the main militant faction in the DPRK have the upper hand?"
Zhang Shuye could not deny that Zhao Ji was the main battler, but as a minister of the Song Dynasty, he could only say: "The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was originally the land of our Han people, but it was stolen by the Liao Dynasty. In addition, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was stolen by the Liao Dynasty.
The strategic location is important. If we can recapture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, we Han people can defend it in danger. If the foreign tribes from the north want to invade our Central Plains again, it will not be that easy, so the emperor wants to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."
When Chao Yong heard what Zhang Shuye said, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Shuye couldn't help but look sad when he saw Chao Yong laughing like this.
Chao Yong saw Zhang Shuye's face sinking and then said: "It's really ridiculous. From your point of view, whatever Zhao Ji did is forgivable. All the evil things in the world are done by Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers. But I think otherwise."
, if it weren’t for Zhao Ji, a foolish king who was greedy for pleasure, Cai Jing’s
How can Fengheng Yuda have a market? Even if the world is really rich, can Zhao Ji build gardens on a large scale? If Zhao Ji really has the ambition to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, why doesn't he use all the money to expand the army and prepare for war?
, but they are all used for enjoyment. Zhao Ji just watched Liao in the past two years.
The country is declining, so I have the idea of taking advantage of the situation. How can I be a hero who is really determined to regain our country? The most tragic thing is that Zhao Ji has no self-awareness, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have no fighting spirit, but they still want to drive away wolves and devour tigers. In the end, they must end up with a
The result of luring a wolf into the house. This
The cause of the chaos in the world is Zhao Ji. That means killing Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. As long as the emperor is still Zhao Ji, he will promote new Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Only by removing Zhao Ji can the world be restored to peace.
Only the heaven and earth can protect our country as a Han people."
Zhang Shuye blushed at what Chao Yong said. He couldn't refute it, but he couldn't agree with Chao Yong either. He could only say: "The Song Dynasty has been in existence for more than a hundred years. How can it be destroyed so easily? What if the Jin people were destroyed?
When we arrive in the Liao Kingdom and see the chaos in our Central Plains, we will definitely take advantage of it and take advantage of it, and it will still be our Central Plains people who suffer."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I have strong soldiers and strong horses. To wipe out the Song Dynasty will definitely be devastating. I will definitely be able to dominate the world within three years."
While talking, Zhang Shuye looked disbelieving and said with a smile: "How about we make a bet. If I, Daliang, dominate the world within three years, you will assist me, Daliang. How about that?"
Zhang Shuye, however, disagreed and laughed and said: "If Daliang can really dominate the world in three years, then it is God's will. No matter what your orders are, I will do it." (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind.
