My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 361 Public Sacrifice, Mountain Shouting and Tsunami

On the part of the capital, the imperial court spent a lot of effort to get together the 500,000 yuan to reward soldiers and pensions after the war.

According to Wang Lin's idea, the promotion of meritorious officers and soldiers can be postponed temporarily, as long as the records of meritorious service are done well.

However, the compensation for the dead soldiers cannot be delayed.

Otherwise, who will fight to the death for Song in the future!
In fact, there was a day or two of quarreling over this at the court meeting.

The national treasury is indeed empty, and the southeast wealth that the court relies on for survival has not yet arrived in the capital, and it will have to wait until after September.

So Zhao Ji felt that he, the emperor, was aggrieved.

The treasury is empty, and so is his inner treasury.

He, the emperor, wanted to hold a celebration banquet, but he had no money.

He really wanted to reward meritorious generals generously, so as to call on more soldiers to work for the Song court, but he really had no money.

In the end, Li Gang took the lead in person.

Li Gang announced in public that he would donate all his wealth for national use.

Followed by Wu Min and Zong Ze.

But these people are all honest officials who are not good at making money, and all their belongings are not very rich.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to order the clan, courtiers, nobles, great merchants in the capital, and noble families to donate money and materials in the form of imperial edicts.

Zhao Yupan, the eldest daughter of the emperor, and his wife took the lead in donating 500,000 yuan, and the Han family of the capital also donated [-] yuan. Everyone responded, and finally collected [-] yuan one after another.

Various merchants in the capital also donated a large amount of food, supplies and meat, as well as wine, cloth and other items.

Everyone knows that without the Huazhou frontline soldiers and horses swearing to the death and bloody battle, the capital would not be able to survive, and in the future, Wang Lin's subduing tiger army still has to be counted on to continue to die and sacrifice their lives for the country.

At present, the Song Dynasty is actually a state where the country is poor and the people are rich.

A lot of wealth was accumulated in the hands of the dignitaries, gentry and merchants.

The governor of Kaifeng, the great scholar of Longtuge, and the left-behind envoy of Tokyo, Zongze, led five thousand soldiers to escort the rewards and left the capital for Huazhou.

On the ninth day of August in the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, it was sunny.

Zongze Fujun troops to Huazhou.

He saw that in Huazhou facing the direction of the capital, a high platform with a height of several feet and a width of five feet was built, and a tall stone tablet stood on the high platform, with the inscription "Monument to the Anti-Golden Martyrs in Huazhou" written in simple and simple characters. Glittering in the sun.

Tens of thousands of cavalry lined up in front of the altar.

The banners are flying, covering the world.

A stream of solemn and tragic murderous aura pierced into the sky in the army formation.

Wang Lin was dressed in a python robe and a purple gold crown on his head. His face was like a jade crown, but his complexion was slightly pale.

His figure is as motionless as a mountain.

When Zongze's Fujun team came with the military relief materials and money that could not be seen at a glance, and came into the sight of the soldiers, Yue Fei stood on the high platform behind Wang Lin, and he held up the bright red crouching tiger in his hand. Military flag.

In an instant, the sound of clashing swords and guns was like thunder, and the chorus of tens of thousands of people shook the world: "The Song Dynasty is mighty, our army is victorious!"

The strong wind was howling, and Zong Ze looked excited. He galloped his horse towards the high platform, dismounted under the high platform, and was led by Yue Fei onto the stage.

Zong Ze nodded slightly to Wang Lin: "King Qi, you have worked hard! I am ordered by the emperor to represent the imperial court, congratulations on the great victory!"

Wang Lin returned the courtesy and said, "What's the responsibility? Don't talk about hard work! I also ask the Zongxiang to announce the decree!"

Zong Ze nodded, and unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict.

"My emperor's edict said: Huazhou's great victory, the army should be rewarded generously, and ten times the pity will die!..."

Zong Ze loudly read the emperor Zhao Ji's imperial decree about rewarding the Fuhu Army, but Wang Lin frowned while listening.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuye and the generals under his command who died for the country were not rewarded or honored.

After Zong Ze announced Zhao Ji's imperial decree, he seemed to sense Wang Lin's dissatisfaction. He hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and cupped his hands at Wang Lin and said, "King Qi, about—the posthumous rewards given by Taiwei Zhang and his generals, It will be promulgated later by the imperial court."

That means the court has not yet settled down.

Zong Ze cast an awkward glance at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin lowered his voice and said: "Master Zong, Zhang Taiwei led all the generals and [-] soldiers under his command to die for the country and fought to the death in Huazhou. Such a feat is admirable to the world. Loyalty and bravery can be seen by the sun and the moon. How can the court not affirm and praise it?"

"Wouldn't it be chilling to treat the anti-gold soldiers so poorly? Who would want to sacrifice their lives for the Song Dynasty and fight bloody battles in the future?"

Zongze sighed lightly, and also said in a low voice: "King Qi, I also think that Zhang Taiwei should be granted a generous title. However, there are many voices of opposition in the court, who think that Zhang Taiwei should be responsible for losing Hebei after repeated defeats." full responsibility.

However, the official attitude is also very... Therefore, after repeated discussions, Li Xiang and Wu Xiang decided to put aside the dispute for the time being and discuss it later. "

Wang Lin's face sank like water.

He knew very well in his heart that those civil servants in the court would definitely use Zhang Shuye's defeat in Hebei several times as an excuse to try to deny his martyrdom in Huazhou.

But Wang Lin knew very well that Zhang Shuye was not responsible for the successive defeats of the Hebei army.

But because the Hebei army has spent many years in armament training, coupled with the fact that the golden soldiers and iron cavalry sent south to bring the power of destroying Liao, it is unstoppable.

The civil servants and generals in the prefectures did not listen to orders, which led to the defeat of the Hebei army. In this case, even if Zhang Shuye had great abilities, he was powerless to recover.

"Master Zong, if Taiwei Zhang and his generals hadn't fought in Huazhou for half a month and delayed the attack of Yan Zongbi's army, the Jin people must have broken through Kaifeng by this time!
If at that time, I don't know if the princes in the court are still in the mood to discuss what is right and what is wrong? "

The sarcasm in Wang Lin's words was beyond words, Zong Ze was speechless.

Wang Lin glanced at Zong Ze again, and said calmly: "Zong Xiang, please tell the court and the officials that the defeat of Hebei is not the responsibility of Zhang Taiwei.

Since the invasion of the Jin people, civil servants in various prefectures in Hebei have surrendered in anticipation, but Zhang Taiwei died in Huazhou!The merits of Zhang Taiwei and the generals under his command have been announced to the sun and the moon, so they must be awarded! "

"Otherwise, from now on, no one will fight for the Song court to defend against foreign enemies!"

Zong Ze bowed and saluted, "King Qi, don't worry, I will tell the officials."

Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew that it was not suitable to pester Zhang Shuye at this time of day, so he took two steps forward and said loudly, "burn incense and pray to God!"

In the future, he will personally go to Tokyo and ask the civil servants of the imperial court, who can speak up?How many people died for their country?
……

The sun is scorching, and the high temperature does not retreat.

But [-] subdued tiger cavalry and [-] new dragon troops lined up in front of the altar, even though they were sweating profusely, there was no noise.

The team is neat and tidy, killing Guo Yi.

Standing on the altar, Wang Lin held up the sacrificial letter, and said loudly: "All the troops are there, all dismount and bow down!"

Zong Ze could see with the naked eye that the Fuhu soldiers lined up in the empty field in front of the altar moved in unison, suddenly dismounted, bowed and bowed, knelt down on one knee, and folded their hands in front of him.

The scene is spectacular and intimidating.

Zong Ze was amazed in his heart, Wang Lin is really a genius in the world, with such an ability to organize an army, tens of thousands of troops obey orders, what a power this is!

What a strict military discipline! !
With such a brave army, why should my Great Song be afraid of the Jin people?

Zong Ze's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zong Ze looked around, and saw that the military formation that could not be seen at a glance continued to the foothills of the mountains, and then stretched forward to the bank of the surging Yellow River. At this moment, he really wanted to shout: I am The Great Song Dynasty was mighty and majestic, so why should the Jin people be afraid!

At this time, Wang Lin's voice oscillated through the iron PA system specially prepared by Fu Hujun:

"On the ninth day of August in the second year of Song Xuanhe in Weida, the General Manager of the Song Dynasty, Tongzhi Privy Councilor, Qi Wang Wanglin, the imperial envoy Zong Ze, the generals of Fuhu Army, Longxiang Army and Huazhou The gentry and the people, with the ceremony of fragrant flowers, wine, and rich food, pay homage to the memorial of the martyrs who died for the country in front of the soldiers:

hoot!Haotian is not hanging, the country is very difficult, the north is facing the golden captives, and they are in trouble again and again, sealing the hog and the long snake, poisoning the Central Plains.Occupy my hometown of Youyan, invade our Hebei and Henan, slaughter our soldiers, civilians and civilians, and whip the capital.

Our soldiers of the Song Dynasty were brave, regardless of their wealth, and fought to be the first, resisted in Liyang and Huazhou, and vowed to fight the enemy decisively in the north of the Yellow River.

The country is in crisis.The head is light.The military order is like a mountain, and the body is smashed to pieces, and the limbs are broken.Returning to righteousness, with peace of mind and peace of mind, one after another, one after another, exhausting tens of thousands.

In the battle of Liyang and Huazhou, more than [-] Jin captives were beheaded, and many of our soldiers died for the country.

Jinlu was terrified when he heard the news.All our soldiers and civilians in China, from now on, regardless of land, north or south, or people, old or young, are all responsible for defending the land and resisting the war!Fight against the gold with one heart, and the final victory will belong to the Han.

The soldiers in front of me, the blood of loyalty and bravery is not empty, and the name of bravery is even fresher.Fu begs the heroic spirits to be fierce, punishes the cruelty, expels the golden captives, and returns our rivers and mountains. The Central Plains will be settled in the year of Wansi.

My sages and martyrs, the soldiers who died in battle, should be buried in the underworld, and smile in Jiuquan!Today, all of them are thin and sincerely offering sacrifices, alas!Fuwei Shangxian! "

Wang Lin's voice was higher and higher, and the voice of the soldiers in the audience shouting "Fu Wei Shang Xiang" was even more earth-shattering, reaching the sky.

Zong Ze's blood boiled as he listened.

"From now on, all the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of land, north or south, or people, old or young, are all responsible for defending the land and resisting the war."

He couldn't control his emotions anymore, wept loudly, then turned around and knelt down to the monument, kowtowing heavily on the ground!

Immediately, there was a tsunami of mourning and shouting from the audience.

……

The prison in Huazhou city.

Wanyan Zongbi stood quietly under the skylight of the prison cell, staring up at the rays of sunlight coming in, his dirty face was also full of horror.

The movement outside the city, the chanting of tens of thousands of troops, the sacrificial rites sung again and again by the soldiers and civilians of Huazhou, and the solemn and stirring clarion call of "expel the golden captives, return our lands and rivers" made Yan Zongbi's heart skip a beat after hearing it.

It was only at this time that Wanyan Zongbi realized that the Song Kingdom under his feet, which he regarded as a two-legged sheep of the Han people who could be slaughtered at will, was being aroused little by little.

And all of this is because of Wang Lin!
Facing such a state of Song, Dajin...Wanyan Zongbi faced the north, knelt down, and burst into tears.

But at this time in Xiangzhou, Wanyan Zongwang's tent was entrenched in Xiangzhou City, and the generals under his command were arguing in full swing.

Wang Lin's two consecutive Beijing Temples were cast with the bones of golden men.

For the Jin people who have always been arrogant and domineering, when did they suffer such humiliation, it is a national humiliation.

In the past two days, if Wanyan Zongwang hadn't repeatedly suppressed them, there might have been thousands of households leading troops across the river to attack Huazhou's Fuhu army without authorization.

Of course, Wanyan Zongwang didn't think that Wang Lin's tens of thousands of Song troops could hold back the iron hooves of his army, and it was at most a matter of time before Jin would destroy Song.

He just wanted to preserve his strength and wait for Wanyan Zonghan's support.
