Qiming 1158

Chapter 588 Ziweixing is starting to shine again
The battle was very fierce. The Liberation Army was pressing step by step, and the Jin Army insisted on not retreating. The infantry on both sides collided with each other, like a spark hitting the earth.

Pu Lihei himself was very brave. After the war, he personally led the cavalry to attack the cavalry of the Restoration Army, trying to defeat the cavalry of the Restoration Army, and threatened the infantry formation of the Restoration Army from the rear.

But he did not succeed, and he failed to defeat the cavalry of the Restoration Army when he rushed left and right, but his own infantry gradually could not hold on to the well-trained and tenacious Restoration Army, and gradually showed signs of defeat.

Pu Lihei saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. In the end, he made a desperate gamble and led all the elite cavalry to make a last-ditch effort to attack the location of the Central Army of the Restoration Army.

It's a pity that Su Haisheng was not Zhao Guangyi from the city of Youzhou back then, and he didn't have the skills to drive a donkey cart.

Facing the onslaught of the enemy, he calmly commanded the escort cavalry to meet him and confront it head-on.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, and the cavalry around Pu Lihei were exhausted and could not continue the fight.

Pu Lihei saw that there was no hope of victory, and the Dajin Kingdom was bound to perish. In grief and anger, he drew his sword on the battlefield and killed himself.

After his death, the Restoration Army completely defeated the Jin Army, slaughtered more than [-] Jin Army, captured more than [-], and completely wiped out this Jin Army.

The last formed resistance army of the Jin Army was destroyed, and the Jin Kingdom was virtually destroyed.

Su Haisheng pursued his victory and conquered Zhenrongzhou, ending all the suspense.

The war has come to an end, and there are still several state capitals to the west. There is no resistance at all, and more of them are looking down at the wind, and there is no fierce resistance.

At the end of August, Jishizhou, the last and most western territory of the Jin Kingdom, was conquered by the Restoration Army.

The defense envoy of Jishi Prefecture, Tessi, must hope to resist, but none of his subordinates are willing to resist. He can only lead the last three hundred subordinates who are still willing to fight in a desperate final resistance at Tongjin Fort.

The attacking recovery army besieged Tongjin Fort from all sides, and conquered Tongjin Fort at the cost of 80 dead in battle, and all [-] Jin soldiers who were willing to resist at last died in battle.

To the end of the battle, Tessi was unwilling to surrender. Seeing the soldiers of the Restoration Army rushing in front of him with red eyes, he slashed himself with a knife and committed suicide, becoming the last official to commit suicide for the Jin Kingdom.

This day was August 29th, three years and four months since the day when the Restoration Army started the uprising in Linyi, Shandong.

The sudden emergence of an army to dominate the East Asian military empire, the Golden Empire, has gone through 46 years and has completely collapsed. The Restoration Army has also completely pacified Guanzhong and obtained the sovereignty and ruling power in Guanzhong.

Since the Battle of Fuping in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Han regime has once again recaptured the land of Longxing in Guanzhong in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

When Su Yonglin heard the news, it was already mid-September.

But he was very happy, and immediately ordered to reward all the troops that participated in the raid, give them credits, and decided to reward them after the situation stabilized.

Then he ordered Su Haisheng to lead the Qilu Corps to change the defense area and be fully responsible for the military defense of the Guanzhong area.

Since most of the Hedong area is no longer bordered by the enemy, only one brigade-level border guard is retained in Baode and Jiazhou.

The Henan Corps is still responsible for the defensive work in the Henan area, with Kaifeng as its headquarters, and its main defense targets are the Jingchu Theater and the Jianghuai Theater in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Not long after the order was promulgated that day, Su Yonglin received a congratulatory note that flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Then the next day, Wu Yongan, the chief of the astronomical department of the General Affairs Bureau, submitted a form to Su Yonglin, saying that the Ziwei star in the sky over Zhongdu suddenly shone brightly last night. He suspected that it was a good omen from heaven. Su Yonglin was somewhat prepared for this.

Su Yonglin smiled helplessly when he looked at the playing table from the Astronomical Division.

"The reason I set up the Astronomical Department is to let them improve the calendar, improve the inadequacies of the past calendar, and strengthen the guidance for agricultural production. It's starting to shine."

Tian Guizi and Xin Qiji, who were called by Su Yonglin, looked at each other and remembered that when the news of Wanyan Yong's death came, Wu Yongan once said that Ziweixing was shining brightly, so please pay special attention to Su Yonglin.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

It doesn't matter when Ziweixing shines brightly, as long as Su Yonglin needs it, Ziweixing can shine brightly anytime, anywhere, even if there are dark clouds that night, Wu Yongan can say that he has a pair of heavenly eyes and sees that Ziweixing is shining.

He is testing when Su Yonglin intends to become emperor. As for who is behind him, it doesn't really matter, because since this performance sheet has been sent, it proves that many people can't wait.

They can't wait for Su Yonglin to officially proclaim the emperor and be able to truly protect their interests.

"If you don't claim to be an emperor for a day, and rules are not established for a day, the appointment and dismissal of officials will not be controlled by them, and more and more talents who have not been selected by the imperial examination will take up official positions. This is very serious for scholars. The problem, they can't endure this forever."

Tian Guizi explained the essence of the problem.

Su Yonglin put down Wu Yongan's watch and sighed.

"That's why I said that I want to become emperor after the complete destruction of the Jin Kingdom, to buy us a little more time. By the way, Guizi, how many Fuxing members are the county magistrates now?"

"130 people."

"Well, there are 130 people, 62 more than before. It seems that our work is quite successful."

Su Yonglin smiled, and said: "Unfortunately, there are still too few, not counting Guanzhong. Of the 550 counties, only 130 are under our control, and the remaining 400 have to use the old bureaucrats and old gentry. Our strength is still Not strong enough."

"Su Shuai, your subordinates think that even if the imperial examination is held, we may not be afraid of them."

Xin Qiji smiled and said, "Song and Jin's imperial examinations are mostly based on Confucian classics, poems, books, etiquettes, spring and autumn, etc. When Su Shuai opens the imperial examination, he can add "Xunzi" to increase the weight of "Xunzi" in the imperial examination. , take this as a reward."

Su Yonglin looked at Xin Qiji and smiled.

"You'an, from what you see, if I include the relevant chapters of "Xunzi" in the content of the imperial examination, what impact will it have? How will the gentry view this?"

"Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty liked Confucianism and Mencius, rejected Xunzi's theory, and criticized Xunzi in many ways. Although the Central Plains were captured by the Jin Dynasty, this trend has not changed. If we honor Xunzi, it will inevitably lead to widespread protests by Confucian scholars. cause a crisis."

Xin Qiji told the truth, in this regard, as a traditional gentry and a big landlord family, he has a very strong say.

Su Yonglin said nothing and looked at Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi understood.

"If there are protesters, there are bound to be followers. Crisis is a crisis, and opportunities are hidden in crisis. Some people think that doctrine is the most important, but some people think that being an official is the most important. This move can divide scholars."

Su Yonglin nodded and looked at Xin Qiji again.

"You'an, do you think there are more people who want to be officials, or more people who want to stick to their ideas?"

"From the perspective of Xunzi, there are definitely many people who want to be officials, and as time goes by, there are more and more people."

Xin Qiji laughed.

Su Yonglin and Tian Guizi also laughed.
