Qian Song

Chapter 187 The Empress Dowager Doesn't Want The Khitan People to Be Slaughtered (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
...

Han Bie, Yao Xing, and Zhao Bingyuan, who were planning to kill all directions, were surprised to find that there was no enemy for them to kill after entering the city gate.

——Yue Fei and the others have not only taken down the city gate, but even the defenders have been killed by Yue Fei and the others.

As for the other defenders?

There is no good or bad at all.

This made Han Bie, Yao Xing, and Zhao Bingyuan, who were rolling up their arms and sleeves and preparing for a big fight, it was as if they had punched with all their strength, only to hit the cotton.

There is no way, Han Bie, Yao Xing, Zhao Bingyuan and others can only follow the plan they made in advance to seize the other seven city gates separately.

Soon, Li Cun led a large army into Yanjing City.

Li Cun ordered that eight thousand soldiers, one thousand each, guard the eight gates of Yanjing City.

After giving this order, Li Cun was not in a hurry to attack the palace, but first issued a strict order that no one is allowed to enter the city privately, let alone disturb the people, and anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed immediately.

Li Cun was actually not worried about the other troops, because they were all regular troops of the Dagan Dynasty with strict discipline, and they would never take needles and threads from the people, because they knew that if they did, Li Cunzhen would kill them. What worries Zhao Bingyuan is the Shengjie army that has not yet been reorganized.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Li Cun called the Sheng Jie army to station beside him.

Then, Li Cunming and Chen Kuutong led a group of civil servants accompanying the army with their personal guards and prepared interpreters to post notices along the streets and alleys, and shouted to the people in Yanjing in Chinese and Khitan: Regardless of Han, military or civilian, I will not reject the king's master when I bow down, and I will not kill a single person in the heavenly army.

Li Cun specifically asked Chen Kuutong to buy some food for the soldiers, and told him to pay first.

Chen Kuutong followed Li Cun in the South and North Wars, how could he not understand Li Cun's meaning?
Not long after, Chen Kuutong asked people to post the notice of the Dagan Dynasty, sent people to shout along the streets and alleys, and at the same time arranged for friendly-faced and safe people to knock on the doors of major restaurants and food stalls.

These people who are in charge of finding something to eat always take out an ingot of silver first (the big shop even took out an ingot of gold directly), and then said very kindly: "Today, I have entered the city with a large army of heaven, and I haven't eaten yet." , Boss, but please ask the guys to cook more food and send it to Minzhong Temple. What to do, do it well, I don’t pick anything, just ask for a large amount to warm your stomach. If you don’t have enough money, don’t panic, boss. After sending it to Minzhong Temple, there will be someone who owes you money, if your family does well, my emperor may reward you."

The people sent by Chen Kuutong all gave money first, and they gave more money, there was no shortage of money at all, and besides, there was such a big cake that there was a reward for eating well.

More importantly, most of the restaurants and food stalls in Yanjing City were run by Han people.

Therefore, soon the originally deserted Yanjing Street became lively, and those Yan people who were still immersed in sleep were also awakened by the shouts of the Ganjun and the shouts of various restaurants and stalls.

At this time, the people in Yanjing knew that the previous explosion was not caused by someone setting off firecrackers in the early morning, but that the Han army had entered.

Under the leadership of Zhao Bingyuan, all the soldiers who entered the city temporarily rested at the Minzhong Temple, waiting to eat and drink enough before attacking the imperial city.

Minzhong Temple was built by Li Shimin to commemorate the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who died in the cross-sea expedition.

But before the completion of the Minzhong Temple, Li Shimin died, and it was not completed until Wu Zetian's time.

Later, Minzhong Temple was destroyed in a fire.

Yelu Hongji, Daozong of the Liao Dynasty, believed in Buddhism, so he ordered the reconstruction of the Minzhong Temple and expanded the Minzhong Temple, making the Minzhong Temple occupy a very large area.

Not long after Li Cun led the generals to settle in Minzhong Temple, the first wave of vendors brought cooking cakes and hot broth.

The civil and military masters who accompanied the army hurriedly brought it, and wanted Li Cun to eat it first.

But Li Cun ordered that it be given to Yue Fei and other soldiers who had made great contributions to the city gate to eat first.

Later, some vendors brought food to eat, and Li Cun ordered the soldiers of Tabai Army and Beiwei Army to eat first.

After the soldiers of the Tabai Army and the Beiwei Army finished eating, Li Cun asked Zhao Bingyuan to send people to take the soldiers of the Tabai Army and the Beiwei Army to encircle the imperial city of Beiliao. some stress.

The third wave of vendors brought food, and Li Cun ordered it to be delivered to the eight thousand soldiers guarding the city.

It wasn't until the fourth wave of vendors brought food that Li Cun started eating with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the soldiers.

And no matter who came to deliver the food, Li Cun would ask someone to reward him, the more he gave, the more rewards, the better the rewards.

——Li Cun's move was to arouse Yanmin's enthusiasm for giving them food, so that he would not have to worry about food, and secondly, it was to appease Yanmin's heart.

Many clever Yan people heard that as long as they sent food to Minzhong Temple, they would be rewarded, and they would be rewarded with gold and silver, so they made some food at home and sent them over.

What makes these Yan people happy is that the soldiers of the Gan army did not refuse to accept the things they made because they were small and crude, but received and rewarded them as they were.

In addition, Li Cun's rewards were not only given to Han people, but people from Khitan, Xi, Zub, Bohai, Jurchen, Shiwei and other tribes also treated them equally.

What needs to be explained is that because the things Yan Min sent were good or bad, Li Cun specially ordered that all the soldiers, including a group of civil servants, line up to get them, and eat whatever they come across. It all depends on personal luck.

At about Chen's hour, almost all the soldiers in the army were full.

But at this time, there were still a large number of restaurants and Yan people sending food to Minzhong Temple.

Li Cun didn't care, and asked people to continue to collect them, and then asked the monks of Minzhong Temple to bring the soldiers of the Gan army to transfer them to the refugees in Yanjing City.

This is the first contact between Gan Jun and the people in Yanjing City.

All the people in Yanjing City found that the officers and men of the Qianjun Army were very kind and generous. They didn't accept any food they gave them for free, they had to give them money, and they didn't bully the weak at all.

This relieved the initial nervousness of Yan Min who had been in contact with Gan Jun, and passed on their findings.

During the meal of the Qianjun soldiers, many Han people came to see Li Cun at Minzhong Temple.

One of the middle-aged men named Ma Xianliang, after seeing Li Cun, said excitedly without a pen: "I heard that Wang Shi entered the city, and my Han people are all very happy. Congratulations to Your Majesty for recovering the Sixteen States of Yanyun for our Han people. Rente presents a poem: "Long live the broken prisoner, enter Yan at dawn, the city is full of harmony and welcomes the sky. It will be three thousand miles away, and it will take 200 years to wash away the smell."

Li Cun was very happy, and saw that Ma Xianliang was a bit impatient and a native of Yanjing, so he rewarded Ma Xianliang with a job in writing and writing, and kept him by his side to write and paint, which was considered a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone.

Later, another person with a little energy came.

This person is Li Chuneng, Li Chuwen's younger brother.

At the beginning, when Li Chuwen supported Yeluchun as the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, Li Chuneng, the younger brother of his clan, directly controlled the Privy Council and actually held the power of the Privy Council.

Li Chuneng was a co-participant when Li Chuwen and Li Shi's father and son planned to capture Xiao Puxian's daughter and dedicate the city of Yanjing to the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Later, when the matter was revealed, Li Chuneng fled to Guangming Temple and became a monk.

There were many remnants of the Li family who fled to Guangming Temple with Li Chuneng to become a monk.

Knowing that the "Great Song Dynasty" had entered the city, Li Chuneng immediately ran over with a large group of monks to help.

On the way here, Li Chuneng had already learned from those merchants that it was not the army of the Song Dynasty that entered the city, but the army of the Dagan Dynasty. The newly rising dynasty in the south of the dynasty has fourteen lands, one road more than the Song Dynasty. Its military strength is stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, and it is also richer than the Song Dynasty. More importantly, this Dagan Dynasty is also a Han Dynasty. .

For Li Chuneng, this is not good news, because his brother Li Chuwen, his nephew Li Shi, and their Yanjing Li clan sacrificed for the Song Dynasty, not the Dagan Dynasty. If it was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he would definitely be able to reuse him, but it was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty... that would be hard to say.

But Li Chuneng couldn't wait for the Song Dynasty to attack Yanjing City again.

Moreover, to be honest, Li Chuneng was very disappointed with the Great Song Dynasty. He felt that if the Great Song Dynasty hadn't been working hard, Yanjing City would have been owned by the Great Song Dynasty long ago, and their Yanjing Li clan would not So many people sacrificed in vain.

Therefore, Li Chuneng still came to visit Li Cun, and reported his heels. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also reported that his father was Li Yan, the former prime minister of the Liao Kingdom.

What made Li Chuneng extremely happy was that when they met, Li Cun said: "The Li family in Yanjing is a high-minded, a model for the Han people. Although they did not die for our dynasty, they also died for the Han people. They are truly heroes."

Although Li Cun did not reward Li Chuwen, Li Shi, his father and son, and the Yanjing Li family, it is also very good to get a positive evaluation from Li Cun, the emperor who occupied Yanjing City.

Li Chuneng thanked: "The poor monk thanked His Majesty on behalf of my deceased Li family."

Li Cun looked at Li Chuneng, and said: "I think the master is only about fifty years old. Now that Yanjing is newly restored, there is an urgent need for talents. Master, why don't you return to the vulgar and become a direct bachelor with me, and do your best for us Han people?" ,how?"

If Li Chuneng could really become a monk honestly, how could it be possible that Li Cun had just attacked Yanjing City, and then he would bring people to vote for Li Cun?
The key point is that Li Cun can speak, not only did not break Li Chuneng's mind, but also took away Li Chuneng's monk status as an emperor, and gave Li Chuneng the righteousness to return to vulgarity.

Li Chuneng thought to himself: "Although this little emperor is not very old, he is so sophisticated in his actions, which is really admirable."

Li Chuneng then "reluctantly" responded: "Promise!"

As soon as he successfully applied for the job, Li Chuneng felt very confident that he would take up the post immediately, and reminded Li Cun: "There are many Khitan, Xi, Zub, Jurchen, Bohai, Shiwei and other ethnic groups in Yanjing City. Most of them are good at fighting. If they are not handled well, It will be troublesome for the Fanmin to unite and fight with my Dagan Tianjun."

Li Cun knew that Li Chuneng was right.

Historically, after Yang Keshi, Guo Yaoshi and others entered Yanjing City, they did not properly handle their relationship with the Khitan people.

——The soldiers of the Song Army under him had no military discipline, drank and indulged, looted property, and killed a Khitan restaurant owner, completely losing the hearts of the Fanmin in Yanjing City.

As a result, the Khitan people and the Xi people, regardless of gender, age or gender, rushed towards the Song army like a tide, and fought against the Song army like a desperate person, making Yang Keshi and the Song army under Guo Yaoshi have to pay blood every step forward. cost.

Later, Yang Keshi and the others led the Han people in Yanjing to kill a large number of Khitan and Xi people, and finally managed to kill a bloody road to the palace.

But although Yang Keshi and the others achieved a short-term victory, their own casualties were also very large.

As a result, after Yelu Dashi returned to aid, he almost wiped out the Khitan and Xi people without taking them.

In addition, the reinforcements led by Liu Guangshi were delayed.

Thousands of elite troops led by Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi were killed, only a few hundred people left the city, and the rest were all killed.

——Also killed a large number of Yandi Han people who spontaneously helped the Song army seize the city and kill the Fanmin.

Yelu Dashi seized [-] horses and [-] pieces of armor from the Song Army. The BMW sitting on Yang Keshi's eyes was lost because he couldn't find the owner, and he ran wildly on Yanjing Street alone...

Although Li Cun already had a plan in mind, he still gave Li Chuneng a chance to express himself: "Then from Aiqing's point of view, what should I do?"

Li Chuneng seized the opportunity and said: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. As long as the Khitan Empress Dowager is captured, the Fanren will definitely surrender."

Li Cun smiled slightly: "It's exactly what I want."

Afterwards, Li Cun rode his super flamboyant Zhaoye Jade Lion to the Beiliao Imperial Palace under the escort of tens of thousands of uniformly-moving personal guards.

At this time, the sun had risen high, and the dark clouds that had rolled in from the south in the morning had dissipated, and the sun was shining on the entire city of Yanjing, giving people a warm feeling.

The news that the Han army entered the city is now known to everyone.

Many people are spreading the rumor that this group of Han people came not from the despicable and shameless Song Dynasty, but from the Dagan Dynasty. They talked about etiquette, gave money for food, and gave more, without disturbing the people at all.

Due to the reputation of the Daqian Dynasty, many courageous Yan people ran out of their homes and stood on both sides of the street to watch the excitement.

For this group of people, Li Cun continued to let people shout in Chinese and Khitan, while waving his hands to greet these people.

Of course, the more timid or cautious Yanmin, they hid at home, blocked the windows and closed the doors, and then peeped out through the cracks in the windows or doors.

suddenly!

A group of Yan people from the Khitan and Xi tribes stood in front of Ganjun, accusing you of something.

With the deliberate study during this period, Li Cun can understand a few words of Khitan, and knows what they are talking about, such as "Tanyuan Alliance" and "Breach of Faith".

Li Cun asked Li Chuwen to send a good-natured monk to explain patiently to these Khitan and Xi Yan people.

The monk sent by Li Chuwen used to explain in a soft voice: "My family is the master of the Dagan Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty that signed the Tanyuan Alliance with your family. Our Emperor His Majesty came here personally to recover the old place of our Han people. It has nothing to do with the people like you, from now on no matter the Khitan, Xi, Zub, Jurchen, Bohai, Shiwei are all the people of our Dagan Dynasty, our Dagan Dynasty will treat them equally..."

Li Cun didn't waste time with a few Khitan and Yan people of the Xi clan, but instead let the army bypass them and move on.

When someone blocked the road again, Li Cun asked Li Chuwen to send a monk to explain to these Yan people.

——The people who came to block the way were all the Yan people of the Khitan and Xi tribes, not only the Yan people of the Han nationality, but even the Yan people of other races.

Soon, Li Cun led the army to the outside of the imperial city.

The imperial city of Beiliao actually does not occupy a particularly large area, but its palace walls are towering and connected by battlements, which looks very solid.

At this time, the gate of the imperial city had been sealed by the Liao people inside, and all the Liao troops were hiding behind the wall, shooting at the soldiers who dared to approach the imperial city, making the Bai army who had already been in front of the imperial city for a long time The soldiers of the Hebeiwei army did not dare to move forward at all.

——This is also because Han Bie and Yao Xing received orders to lock up the imperial city and not to act rashly.

Seeing this, Li Chuwen suggested that Li Cun write a surrender letter to Xiao Puxian.

Li Cun said with a smile, "Why bother?"

Then Li Cun asked ten soldiers with loud voices to go out with loud voices.

Then, Li Cun said a sentence, and the ten soldiers learned a sentence:
"Xiao Puxian, listen, you should already know that I am not Zhao Ji, Emperor Song, but Li Cun, Emperor Daqian. Now you Khitan, want to vote for Jurchen, but Jurchen won't tolerate you, and you don't want to vote for Zhao Song. You are just right to vote for me. I promise you that I will treat you Liao people equally, regardless of the Han people, or Khitan, Xi, Zub, Jurchen, Bohai, and Shiwei. You must not be stubborn and force me to kill..."

Hearing Li Cun's words, Miss Xiao Puxian was already a little tempted.

Just as Li Cun said, Li Cun was not the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty who disgusted her Xiao Puxian, but the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty who had just captured half of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Miss Xiao Puxian felt that Li Cunneng had annexed half of the Zhao Song Dynasty in just two years, so he must be a great hero.

She worships heroes.

The point is, whether it is the Daliao Empire or her Xiao Pu Xiannv, they are now desperate, and there is really no better choice than voting for Li Cun.

Moreover, Miss Xiao Puxian has already heard that the military discipline of the Gan army is excellent, and there is no behavior that disturbs the people in the slightest, and she is also very patient with the Khitan people and Xi people. s Choice.

But Miss Xiao Puxian was very unwilling to be reduced to a subjugated slave.

In fact, Miss Xiao Puxian has already sent someone to call Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian back to rescue her.

So Xiannv Xiao Pu, who has always refused to admit defeat, wanted to give it another go.

Zuo Qigong is also a stubborn old man, so he decided to invest in gold, so he gave Xiao Puxian a plan to delay the attack.

According to Zuo Qigong's plan, Xiao Puxian sent Li Cunshe a peace letter.

It probably meant that she wanted to think again, and begged Li Cun to recognize Yeluding as the emperor, and she could agree to other requests.

After Li Cun looked at it, he threw it aside casually, then pointed at a huge stone tablet more than two feet high with his horsewhip, and said, "Miss Xiao Pu, come and see."

As soon as the voices of the ten soldiers who sent the message fell, there was only a "boom", and the huge stone tablet, which seemed to be many times stronger than the palace city of Beiliao, was immediately razed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the military officials of the Liao Kingdom turned pale with fright, and Yan Min, who was watching the excitement, realized that this seemingly friendly army was not only kind, but also something.

Seeing this, Liu Yanzong, member of the Privy Council who signed the letter, hurriedly said to Miss Xiao Puxian: "Queen Mother, the Emperor of the Dagan Kingdom is saying that he wants to break into the palace with ease, but he doesn't want to cause more slaughter."

Liu Yanzong then persuaded: "Today our city has been occupied by the Qian army, and the palace city is also surrounded by the Qian army. Our Daliao spirit is exhausted. The only choice is to open the city to welcome the surrender. The Queen Mother also does not want the Khitan people After being slaughtered by the Emperor Daqian, I hope the Empress Dowager will make a clear decision, don't miss this opportunity, and regret it later."

Miss Xiao Puxian is neither blind nor stupid, how could she not understand what Li Cun meant, and how could she not understand the current situation?
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the eyes of many civil and military ministers and Liao army officers flickering, Xiao Puxian knew that if she was "stubborn", someone would help her surrender.

"Ugh!"

After sighing heavily, Xiao Puxian ordered: "Open the door."
