Qiming 1158

Chapter 491 Break their spines
Let you surrender, but you don't surrender. Now that the city is broken, do you still want to surrender?

There is nothing so good in the world!

Sun Ziyi, who was standing beside Su Yonglin, was very angry and pointed at the messenger's nose and cursed.

"Let you surrender or not, now there is only one inner city left, but you are planning to surrender? This is a dream!"

Speaking of which, Sun Ziyi drew his sword and made a gesture to kill the envoy.

During the siege battle, Sun Ziyi personally led his troops to break through the Shiren Gate, but he was met with relatively fierce resistance, and many of his personal soldiers died in battle, so he was very angry.

Su Yonglin didn't intend to stop Sun Ziyi, but this situation made him suddenly think of something.

"Wait a moment!"

Su Yonglin stopped the envoy of the Jin Kingdom who was about to be killed - this envoy was paralyzed to the ground in fright.

Sun Ziyi looked back at Su Yonglin, then put away the knife in his hand and stepped aside.

Su Yonglin walked to the front of the messenger, crouched down and looked at him with a smile.

"You were able to surrender before, but you didn't seize this opportunity, and instead confronted me extremely stupidly. Now that you are at the end of the road, you still want to surrender? I can take the inner city in one day with just a wave of my hand, why should you surrender? ?"

The messenger swallowed his saliva, supported his trembling body, and said, "What the general said is very true, but... but there are still thousands of elite soldiers in the city, as well as tall city walls and wide and deep moats, even if the inner city is broken , and the Imperial City.

There are still several heavy gates in the imperial city, and there are elite soldiers willing to resist. If they do their best to resist, your army will still be damaged. When you are close to winning a complete victory, your army is still damaged. Presumably this is not what the general wants to see. "

Su Yonglin immediately felt that this messenger was a little interesting, and he even played psychological tactics with him.

Unfortunately, Su Yonglin's mentality is completely different from this.

So he shook his head.

"Whoever has made a big deal, how can they care about the cost of attacking the city? The matter has reached this point, and our army is very morale. They must be looking forward to winning the inner city and the imperial city soon and ending this battle completely. I hope so too.”

"General, I..."

"You don't need to say any more."

Su Yonglin stood up under the despairing gaze of the messenger and looked down at him: "According to what I said before, if you don't surrender, but choose to resist, I will attack the city and kill everyone in the city. to those who do it.”

"General!"

The messenger was shocked and tried to dissuade him, but was stopped by Su Yonglin.

"But, I'm in a good mood now. I can give you an extra chance to go back and tell your little emperor that I want [-] horses, and let him give me [-] horses, or I will attack the city!"

The messenger was stunned for a while before reacting, and was overjoyed.

"You mean we will give you the horses and you will accept surrender?"

"Can consider it."

Su Yonglin nodded.

The messenger was overjoyed, his body was no longer shaking, and he was no longer afraid. He immediately stood up to salute Su Yonglin, and then immediately returned to the inner city.

After the messenger left, Su Yonglin sighed in the face of suspicious eyes cast by a room of officers.

"I know you want to ask me why I didn't attack the city directly. I have my reasons."

Su Yonglin went to his chair and sat down, and said slowly, "Do you know how the people of the Kingdom of Jin took Kaifeng, the old capital of the Kingdom of Song, more than 30 years ago?"

Everyone was puzzled by this question, but Jiang Liangping still stood up.

"At that time, the Jin soldiers could not attack the city, but Emperor Song listened to the words of the traitor and did not defend the city. Instead, he used the so-called magic soldiers of the demon Guo Jing to fight the Jin army. Be the laughing stock of the world."

"Yes, that's it, but before and after, there are actually many, many things that the world doesn't quite understand. For example, how did the royal family of the Song Kingdom and the people of Kaifeng City fall into the hands of the people of the Jin Kingdom little by little? ."

Su Yonglin sneered: "If you knew about it, you would definitely find it unbelievable, and you would definitely wonder how someone could be so cowardly and hand over almost all the wealth of the royal family, the common people and almost all of their wealth. Now, I will re-interpret it for you. look.

Killing people also needs to be punished. Punishing the heart is the key. How did the Jin people break the spine of the Song people back then? How did they kill people and punish the heart? The body of their people makes them irreversible. "

Break their spines, so that even if they still have the power to resist, they will not have the heart to return to heaven!
At the same time, we must seek justice for the innocent dead back then.

Su Yonglin's determination was made, and everyone no longer opposed it. Instead, they were looking forward to seeing a situation they had never seen before.

The messenger returned to the inner city to report the relevant news. Hundreds of officials in the city were very happy to learn that the surrender was expected, but they were greatly distressed when they learned that Su Yonglin wanted them to hand over [-] horses.

"How come there are [-] horses in the inner city? Even if you add cattle and sheep, there are not necessarily [-] horses. How can they be so lions?"

Tu Shanzhen looked at Pusanhutu with an incredible expression on her face.

Pusan ​​Hutu looked at the messenger.

"Any other requests?"

"No, just this one."

The messenger's tone was very determined.

Pusanhutu nodded and decided to give it.

This decision caused a lot of controversy, and the civil and military officials who had just been frightened into soft-footed shrimp also kept objecting.

Tu Danzhen grabbed Pusanhutu's clothes and said, "Not to mention that even if we hand over all the horses, there may not be [-] horses, just handing over all the horses, we have no horsepower, and we will Have you completely become a turtle in a urn?"

Facing such doubts, Pusan ​​Hutu just sighed, and then said sadly: "Isn't it the turtle in the urn now?"

One question asked Tu Shanzhen and everyone else, everyone was speechless and had nothing to say.

Indeed, now give them ten thousand horses, aren't they the turtles in the urn?
The city was surrounded by water, and they had little chance of survival.

"Whatever they want, they will give it. When they are happy, they won't start killing people. If we take the initiative to give it, it's better than they go into the city and loot by themselves, right?"

There are very good reasons for the retreat.

So the decision was passed, and horses were collected wildly within the inner city.

Whether it was the war horses that Wanyanliang left behind, or the horses that the people could not ride at all, they were all collected.

In the end, the shortage of numbers was too large, and Pusan ​​Hutu had no choice but to attack the powerful officials, collect all the horses that were hidden in their homes, and ordered that if there were any more private collectors, they would be killed immediately.

The dignitaries did not dare to resist, so they handed over the horses at home.

Two days later, Pu Sanhutu handed over all the more than 3000 horses he had collected to Su Yonglin. Due to the shortage of horses, he was forced to use cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and other livestock in the city to make up the number, and ran on four legs in the city for a while. of animals disappeared.

The envoy of the Jin Kingdom thought that this would satisfy Su Yonglin and accept the surrender.

But Su Yonglin once again expressed dissatisfaction.

The reason was that there were not enough warhorses for him, and he was not happy, so he asked the people of the Jin Kingdom in the city to hand over [-] weapons in the city to compensate him.

This request was once again resisted by some officials. If you say this, the city will completely lose the possibility of resisting Su Yonglin, and there will be no last hope.

So can't agree.

Pusan ​​Hutu let out another long sigh, and said sadly: "Is there any hope now? If the soldiers have no will to fight, they will have no will to fight. Can we resist now?"

The ministers were speechless again, looked at the crying queen mother and the new emperor Wanyan Guangying, and lowered their heads silently.

There are not many other weapons in the inner city, but there are a lot of weapons. Although there are a lot of [-] weapons, but if you collect them, you can really get them together. There is even a little surplus that can be equipped for the defenders in the city, which adds a little illusion. sense of security.

The messenger felt that this time Su Yonglin would finally make no other requests.

but……

"Since I started the army, countless manpower and material resources have been spent, and more than [-] soldiers have died in battle. Their families have not yet received my reward. I feel very sorry, and the soldiers' families are also dissatisfied, so now I hope that Emperor Jin can send the [-] The pensions of the dead soldiers are given to me so that I can appease them."

Su Yonglin grinned, and proposed a price of 200 million taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver, saying that it was for the compensation for the soldiers who died in battle. He couldn't afford the money and asked the gold man to help.
