The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 642 The Fall of the Jin Dynasty
Attacking Huining Mansion, the main force of the Song army did not exert much force, basically it was the artillery army, and the continuous cannon attacks caused the Jin soldiers' defense line to be breached repeatedly.Even though the fighting power was astonishing, it was difficult to compare with the cannons. Wherever the Song army went, the sound of cannons one after another was deafening, which frightened the Jin people, who dared to resist.

"Your Majesty, retreat!"

Wanyan Sheng replied dejectedly: "Where else can we retreat? There is no way to retreat!"

"Your Majesty, you won't have to worry about firewood if you keep the green hills! Even if the Song Dynasty army has this fetish, it's impossible to kill us all. As long as the soldiers fight to the death to protect them, there will be a chance to escape. We can leave by water, Song Jun can't catch up either."

The Song army possessed cannons, and the destructive power cannot be resisted by manpower. Even if there is an army of [-], it cannot withstand such bombing.In front of the cannons of the Song Army, Wanyan Sheng lost all his former arrogance, only hesitation and decadence, so he decided not to abandon the city and run away.

Wanyan Sheng issued an imperial decree, opened the gates of the city and surrendered, and the generals also lost their combat effectiveness. Their legs were weak in front of the cannon, and they couldn't even stand up. How could they continue to fight.Wan Yansheng opened the city gate and surrendered. What he lost was not the fighting power of the Song army, but the cannon.

Zhao Yougong personally subdued Wanyan Sheng, tied up all the ministers of the Jin Dynasty, and escorted him to Beijing.In fact, Wanyan Sheng overestimated the power of the Song Army's cannons. Zhao Gou was just trying it out. He didn't prepare that many cannonballs at all, only a hundred or so, and now there are very few left.

Wanyan Sheng didn't know, he thought that the Song army still had cannons in their hands, and the soldiers thought so too, and finally became prisoners.Then, Zhao Yougong ordered the soldiers to search in the city, but there was still no news about the second Emperor Huiqin. He conveyed the news to the court and Zhao Gou made a decision.

When Zhao Gou received the news, he immediately replied to Zhao Yougong, and escorted the Jin Dynasty emperor Wanyan Sheng, the royal family members, and the humerus minister to Beijing, and they stayed in the Jin Dynasty to continue to sweep away the remaining forces.Zhao Yougong acted according to his orders, he immediately distributed the army, and launched a radiant attack. Wherever the Song army went, the enemy fled and lost their fighting power at all.

Within a month, the Song army completely took over the place where the Jin Dynasty was. There is no Jin Dynasty in this country.

Most of the generals of the Jin Dynasty died on the battlefield, and the soldiers scattered all over the place were also defeated by the Song army. They completely lost their determination to continue fighting, and they surrendered one after another.After Zhao Yougong and others settled everything, they ordered the army to retreat, and all the generals who participated in the battle returned to the court to accept the reward.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong, you didn't expect the situation today!" Zhao Gou looked down at Wanyan Sheng, and said with a cold smile, "This is your final fate. When you decide to attack Song Dynasty, you should have thought of it like this." problems, and these are nothing more than interest, and the next step is the highlight.”

"I don't know one thing, why do you have such a fetish?" Wan Yancheng didn't know anything about cannons. He didn't understand that there was such a fetish in the Song Dynasty. If he knew, he wouldn't start a war. In order to start a war, the manufacturing method must be stolen.

"The name of this thing is 'Cannon'. It was made in the hands of skilled craftsmen, but it has not been perfected before, so I dare not take it out without authorization. If it can go as smoothly as today, our army will reduce casualties, and the Jin Dynasty is also here. In the hands of the army, it is easy to get, without any effort."

"Win the king and lose the bandit, I am not wronged!" Wanyan Cheng raised his head to the sky and sighed, with an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Zhao Gou went on to say: "I have something I want to ask Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me?"

"What you want to ask is whether the second Emperor Huiqin is in my hands?" Wanyan Sheng said straight to the point, "They are not in my hands!"

"It wasn't you who sent people to capture the Second Emperor back then, why is it not in your hands now? What's going on?" Zhao Gou was a little surprised. Time will not lie, the second Emperor Huiqin is really not in his hands.

"Now that the Jin Dynasty has existed in name only, I will tell you!" Wan Yancheng said truthfully, "Eight years ago, a person came to me to cooperate, saying that he had a way to make the Song Dynasty bow his head and proclaim himself a vassal, and that method was to capture Huiqin Er The emperor came to the Great Jin Dynasty, and finally I promised him to cooperate with him, as long as he really did it, then I will make him a national teacher and give him the power of soldiers and horses, so as to attack the Great Song Dynasty."

"At that time, he did fly a pigeon to deliver the news to me, and I was very happy, so I sent an envoy, but it was a pity that the negotiation turned into an oolong incident, and that person has disappeared since then, and I don't know who he is. Where did they go, and I don't know where the two Emperor Huiqin are. If they are really in my hands, I'm afraid that when you attack, I will take them as hostages and threaten them."

"I'll explain this in detail and you won't lie to me!" Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Who is that person?"

"I don't know the name of that person, but he claimed to be the Holy Envoy of Bailian, and he also heard his subordinates call him 'Xuanwu Envoy'. Judging by his appearance and accent, he should be a citizen of the Song Dynasty." Wan Yancheng recalled Recalling the scene of that day, he also said it.

Zhao Gou was furious. He didn't expect this incident to be related to the White Lotus Sect. If he had known today's result, he shouldn't have let him go and wiped them out. Zhao Gou was very angry.

Wanyan Sheng and his royal family and children were all sent to the place where the servants lived by Zhao Gou's order. The female family members became maidservants, and the men were servants. He will also pour the chamber pot and other errands.

Zhao Gou didn't go on a killing spree and beheaded all of them.If he really did that, he might be judged as a tyrant in history, and Zhao Gou didn't care what was written in history, but he didn't want to make such an unpleasant scene.All these things were done by Emperor Huiqin and those ministers in history, just let them experience them all.

In addition, Zhao Gou would not really let them starve or be naked, but still give them the most basic respect, which is also the etiquette that Song people should have.If you really don't care about their life or death, then it is really cruel and inhumane. I'm afraid it would be a great shame and humiliation to the people left behind in the Jin Dynasty. Then history will still take turns, and you can't be too extreme in life, unless it is really a mortal enmity Otherwise, Zhao Gou would not really kill innocent people indiscriminately.

After all, there were some young children, women and children among the royal family members who were captured this time. Zhao Gou relocated them to another residence, and asked Tai students to educate them about Han culture and to teach them to read. practice calligraphy.

If they want to see their children, Zhao Gou will specially allow them to go and see them, but they can only watch from a distance.Zhao Gou knew very well that they had deep complaints against the Song Dynasty, but there were not many of those children. As long as they were kind to them, the hatred would fade away, and Zhao Gou's ultimate plan was to completely annihilate them with the Han people. Merge and become part of the Han people.

Zhao Gou posted a notice on the original territory of the Jin Dynasty, as long as the legitimate common people can enter the Central Plains area, and even some parents who lost their children were adopted by the court on their behalf. Notions, let them forget those hatreds, both the Jurchens and the Song people are family, so that the war between the two countries can be truly cut off.
