Qian Song

Chapter 270 Li Cun Enters Bianliang City, Tokyo (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

...

After Zhao Huan presented Li Cun with a surrender form, Li Cun not only refused to discuss peace talks with Zhao Huan, but he didn't even see Zhao Huan, and only asked Zhao Huan to call Zhao Gou back.

Moreover, Zhao Huan also discovered that many ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, such as Wu Kai, Mo Chou, Hu Si, Wang Shao, Wang Jizhi, were very close to the ministers of the Dagan Dynasty such as Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

This made Zhao Huan feel very bad.

Therefore, Zhao Huan asked He Li to organize civil and military officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties to meet him or hold meetings with him from time to time.

He Li fought in the main battle before, resolutely opposed the cession of land, and even resolutely opposed the relocation of the capital.

Now, Bianliang City in Tokyo was breached by Qianjun, and He Li actively participated in the peace negotiation, without any shame.

Therefore, He Li's reputation plummeted, and he had no prestige as a prime minister.

Also, last night, Zhao Huan was sobbing and crying while hiding under the blanket, while He Li sat at the door alone, eating meat and drinking, and even talking and laughing happily with the civil and military officials in the room.

This made the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty very dissatisfied with He Li, the prime minister.

In addition, the civil and military officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, on the surface, seemed to be still obeying Zhao Huan's orders, but in fact they had their own plans.

For example, some civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty, headed by Sun Fu, were still thinking about keeping the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Prince Zhao Chen is the emperor.

However, the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty, represented by Wu Kai and Mo Yu, are now trying their best to switch to the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, there are still many civil and military officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties who are waiting and watching, and are not in a hurry to place a bet.

Then count the intriguing and even endless political struggles between the main battle and the main peace, conservatives and reformists, etc.

The civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty, on the surface, gathered together to discuss state affairs with Zhao Huan, but in fact they had already fallen apart.

The main responsibility for all this is still on Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan had only been in power for more than a year, but he paid homage to 26 prime ministers like a lantern.Among them, those who had a key influence on the crisis were Li Bangyan, Wu Min, Zhong Shidao, Xu Churen, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, He Li, Sun Fu and others.Some of their important strategies to save the country were not adopted by Zhao Huan, but some of their important strategies to harm the country were all adopted by Zhao Huan.

Moreover, knowing that Li Cun would come to attack Song this year, Zhao Huan didn't prepare well for Li Cun's attack on Song, but kept provoking Li Cun and liquidating internal strife.

This fully shows that Zhao Huanji has no political mind and is not a qualified emperor.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Huan had to pay a lot of responsibility for the Zhao Song Dynasty to be able to have today.

Now that the victory and defeat of the Qian and Song dynasties have been divided, it is impossible for the civil and military officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties not to summarize the reasons for this ending.

Naturally, as the supreme ruler of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan could not absolve himself of the blame.

Back then, when Zhao Huan was still the crown prince, he had no immorality at all, he was not extravagant, he was not lecherous, and he looked like an eternal sage.

It is precisely because of this that the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty persuaded Zhao Ji to abdicate to Zhao Huan.

When Zhao Huan first came to the throne, Zhao Huan was able to follow the advice and liquidate Wang Fu and other treacherous officials, which also made the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty very satisfied with Zhao Huan.

But then, the party struggle that was eliminated by Zhao Ji and Cai Jingjun and his ministers reappeared in Zhao Huan's first dynasty.

—— Zhao Huan was too selfish, and used the party struggle to wipe out the old ministers of Zhao Ji's era. As a result, the Zhao Song Dynasty became more and more crooked, and finally the Zhao Song Dynasty was deeply involved in the vortex of political struggles of liquidation and internal strife.

Moreover, Zhao Huanming knew that Hebei and Hedong could not be rescued, so he sent the main force of the Zhao Song Dynasty to Hebei and Hedong one after another, and fell into Li Cun's plan to encircle and fight for aid.

In the end, more and more ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasties saw that Zhao Huan was self-willed and could not cooperate with the ministers to help others and imprison his biological father. He was inhuman, cowardly, and lacked political wisdom. Nature.

To be honest, most of the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty are very disappointed with Zhao Huan, especially when they are with Yingmo Ruirui, open-minded, knowing people and being good at assignments, they have no strategy left in the past few years, and no soldiers left behind. After the comparison, Li Cun, who is determined to make a great cause.

The point is that Zhao Huan is stupid, but it doesn't mean everyone is stupid.

Many smart people have noticed that when the Zhao Song Dynasty is over, Li Cun will definitely overthrow the Zhao Song Dynasty and annex it.

So the whole world will belong to Li Cun immediately.

Under such circumstances, there must be many people who want to hug the thick legs of the new emperor Li Cun.

The key point is that Li Cun is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Dagan Dynasty is also the Han Dynasty, and Li Cun does not discriminate against those who have been officials in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

In this way, many civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty really can't think of any reason for them to be loyal to the useless Zhao Huan and the rotten Zhao Song Dynasty, and to follow the wisdom and martial arts, and the ambition to help the world and the people , Li Cun, who came into being at the right time, fought to the end with the Daqian Dynasty, which had a clear politics, a strong military, a developed economy, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

This is also not in line with the teaching of these people that "the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least".

On this day, Zhao Li suddenly came to report that a large number of monks and elders in Bianliang City, Tokyo wanted to visit His Majesty and thank His Majesty for their life.

A minister suggested to Li Cun that at this critical moment when Bianliang City in Tokyo is about to be completely taken down, there should be no extra problems.

But Li Cun said: "The people are the foundation of the country, and all the people in the world are my people, how can we refuse?"

Ever since, tens of thousands of monks, Taoists and elders brought gold and silk, good meat and fine wine to Qingcheng to meet Li Cun.

After Li Cun saw these monks and Taoists, he said kindly: "The road is muddy and rainy, and you will come to reward the army later. I am very happy and should reward you."

As a result, Li Cun didn't take the gold and silk brought by these monks and Taoists. He only left good meat and wine to reward the soldiers on the city wall, and rewarded each of these monks and Taoists with twenty coins.

More importantly, Li Cun asked these monks and Taoists to select ten representatives. Li Cun personally met these ten people in the Zhai Palace, encouraged them, and personally promised them that he would end the war as soon as possible. , Let the people in Bianliang City, Tokyo live and work in peace and contentment, and then Li Cun asked Shen Guan, Xu Cai and others to have a chat with these ten representatives, asking them what inconvenience they have now, and the court needs to help them solve it.

After full communication between the two parties, Li Cun issued an order to allow people in Bianliang City, Tokyo to buy and sell freely, and also allowed people outside the city to deliver daily necessities to Bianliang City, Tokyo, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., and opened the Donghua Gate to allow Bianliang, Tokyo The people in the city trade with the people outside the city.

Seeing that Li Cun's attitude was so good and reasonable, the monks and Taoists immediately relaxed their nervousness. After they brought the news back to Tokyo Bianliang City, the people in Tokyo Bianliang City also relaxed.

After Zhao Huan learned about this, he became more and more anxious.

In desperation, Zhao Huan asked Li Cun to send someone to Bianliang City, Tokyo to check the inventory of Zhao and Song Dynasty treasuries.

How could Li Cun refuse such a good deed?

Li Cun then sent Chen Jiao, Zhao Liangsi, Xiao Rong, and Xu Cai into Bianliang City, Tokyo to check the inventory of the Zhao Song Dynasty's treasuries, and immediately took over all the Zhao Song Dynasty's document files.

Li Cun also specially reminded Chen Jiao and others to focus on taking over the archives that recorded the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and there should be no omissions.

When Zhao Huan heard that Li Cun was willing to accept the treasury of the Zhao Song Dynasty, he quickly arranged for Wu Kai and Hu Si to lead Chen Jiao and others into the treasury to receive the Zhao Song Dynasty's treasury.

During the recent period, both Wu Kai and Hu Si are trying their best to move closer to the Daqian Dynasty.

Now that the opportunity has come, Wu Kai and Hu Si immediately took chicken feathers as an arrow, and first took Chen Jiao and others to transport all the documents and archives of the Zhao Song Dynasty, especially the documents related to the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty. To Qingcheng.

Then, Wu Kai and Hu Si took Chen Jiao and others to focus on checking the internal storage of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

The so-called internal storage library of the Zhao Song Dynasty is actually the Fengchun library set up by Zhao Kuangyin.

When Zhao Kuangyin was still alive, he was worried about his inability to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and let the Zhao and Song Dynasty complete the real unification, so he put all the surplus money of the Zhao and Song Dynasty into Fengchun Treasury and stored it, planning to wait for the goods to arrive When the wealth is abundant, use the money to redeem the Sixteen States of Yanyun, or use the money to reward the soldiers to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

For this reason, Zhao Kuangyin also left an oath: future generations shall not use the money in the sealed pile treasury for other purposes.

Later, Fengchun Treasury gradually evolved into Neizang Treasury, which became the treasury of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Song Zhenzong eulogized Fengchunku with an imperial poem, saying:
"Five seasons lose the picture, ignorance and emptiness. The art ancestors built the country, and the foundation is to recruit scholars. The mother is free and generous, and must follow the inheritance. I am overwhelmed, how can I succeed. Dragon and tiger promote prosperity, mountains and rivers control the capital of the country. Turtles Chou Yan Bao Zuo, Feng De Manifesting Spirit Talisman. Dao Sheng Yao consults Yue, Gong Gao Yu Hui Tu. Nine layers of squares hold elephants, ten thousand li Ding Huan area."

This poem has a total of 72 characters, and each word is listed as a number in a library.

In this way, Fengchun warehouse has 72 warehouses.

After nearly 200 years of accumulation, every warehouse in Fengchunku is full of overflowing, filled with gold, silver brocade and various treasures.

Under the guidance of Wu Kai and Hu Si, Chen Jiao and others started with "Five Seasons Lost Maps" and checked them sequentially.

After Chen Jiao and the others finished reading the "Xin Yu Kong Chi" vaults, Chen Jiao and the others didn't dare to check any more, because there were too many treasures in the Fengchun vault.

After discussing with Chen Jiao and others, Xu Cai hurried back to Qingcheng to report the matter to Li Cun.

After Li Cun learned of the overflow of Fengchun Treasury, he sent Chen Kuupong to seal all the warehouses in the inner treasury and seal them up, and then sent Niu Gao to lead three thousand personal guards to take care of them.

But what made Zhao Huan feel cold was that he had already given all the inventory of the Zhao Song Dynasty to Li Cun, but Li Cun still did not see him. Not only that, Li Cun also sent Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Xiao Rong, Zhao Liangsi, Chen Eight ministers of the Dagan dynasty, including Jiao, Xu Cai, Shen Guan, and Shi Liai, went to the Zhao and Song courts to sit in charge.

Moreover, Li Cun ordered very domineeringly: "From now on, if there are any military and political activities in the court of Zhao and Song Dynasties, they must be notified to Song Jiang and other eight people in advance."

Undoubtedly, Li Cun stretched his hand too far, and his control was too wide, that is to say, it is not an exaggeration for Li Cun to intervene in the rule of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

But Li Cun has now controlled Bianliang City in Tokyo, and has the ability to slaughter Bianliang City in Tokyo at any time. Even Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, is in Li Cun's hands. Li Cun is so domineering, what's wrong?Who dares to say that Li Cun is half a word, is it too long?

And that's not the end.

Soon, Li Cun sent someone to ask Zhao Huan for [-] good horses.

Zhao Huan, who was also hopeful that Li Cun would return the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty to him, did not dare to neglect. He immediately sent Wu Kai to convey an edict to Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Wang Shiyong: including the current ruling attendant Qing Jianlang Including officials and other officials, no matter who they are in Bianliang City, Tokyo, they must hand over all the horses in their hands to Kaifeng Mansion within three days. Those who dare to stay in hiding will be punished by the whole family. .

Under Zhao Huan's strict order, Kaifeng Mansion received a total of more than [-] horses from the imperial horses down.

——It’s not that Zhao Huanjun and his ministers don’t want to give Li Cun more horses. In fact, after handing over more than [-] horses, there are no more half horses in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

In order to provide Li Cun with the [-] horses that Li Cun wanted, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe and others even took away all the horses controlled by the imperial servants in the palace, Zhao Huan's personal guards, and then all Send Li Cun to Qingcheng.

The Palace Guard's Imperial Guard is the most powerful military force that Zhao Huan currently has.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Huan's ability to maintain his rule is based on the fact that the imperial guards in the palace directly guarded the Imperial Army.

The key point is that the imperial guards in the palace hold the only chance for Zhao Huan to escape from Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Therefore, the surrender of the horses they possessed by the imperial guards in the palace meant that the last army in Bianliang City, Tokyo, that had the power to fight against the Qianjun lost most of its combat power, and it also meant that they would no longer be able to fight. There is no possibility of escorting Zhao Huan or Zhao Chen to leave Bianliang City in Tokyo.

In other words, from then on, the royal family, clan and civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty completely lost the possibility of breaking out of the siege and leaving Bianliang City in Tokyo.

In this regard, the Zhijinjun, the servant class in the palace, is actually very clear in his heart.

Therefore, when handing over their war horses, many imperial guards in the palace servants were ashamed.

However, although these imperial servants in the palace felt that they were indebted to the emperor, none of them resisted handing over their horses.

First, this was Zhao Huan's order, and they had to obey it.

Secondly, at the beginning Jiang Xuan, Li Fu, Lu Wan and others thought about escorting Zhao Huan out of Bianliang City in Tokyo, but what happened? Those palace servants who wanted to be loyal to Zhao Huan were all directly banned by Zhao Huan in the end. Huan was punished and killed. With such an example, who would dare to use the idea of ​​guarding Zhao Huan to escape from Bianliang City in Tokyo?

After there were no war horses in Bianliang City in Tokyo, even the scholar-bureaucrats in the city (including Song generals such as Yao Youzhong, Wang Qiong, and Fan Qiong) had to straddle donkeys and ride sedan chairs, or even walk on foot.

After completely cutting off the possibility of the royal family, clan, and civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty escaping from Bianliang City in Tokyo, Li Cun sent someone to ask Zhao Huan to order that all the soldiers and armor in Bianliang City in Tokyo be handed over. come out.

This time, Li Cun somehow gave Zhao Huan a reason, that is, it was not safe for these soldiers to stay in the hands of the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo Bianliang City, and it might lead to chaos, which was not conducive to the restoration of order in Tokyo Bianliang City.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians in Bianliang City, Tokyo had a large number of soldiers and armor hidden in their hands.

Some of these armors were discarded by the Song army in the streets and alleys and picked up by the people when Bianliang City in Tokyo was breached, and some were distributed to the residents of the inner city when He Li wanted to fight the Gan army. Of course, there are still some that Song Jun originally had.

These armored soldiers of the Zhao Song Dynasty could even arm an army of hundreds of thousands. If they are not handled properly, it is likely to cause a lot of trouble.

Zhao Huan didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly issued an edict, asking Wang Shiyong to make an announcement, requiring the soldiers and civilians in Bianliang City, Tokyo, to hand over all the hidden soldiers and armors to Kaifeng Mansion within three days, and those who failed to hand them in after the deadline would be dealt with according to military law.

Who dares to defy the imperial order?What's more, there is a great emperor's order behind this emperor's order!
Therefore, the soldiers and civilians in Bianliang City, Tokyo, handed over all the armor they owned to Kaifeng Mansion one after another.

As a result, all kinds of weapons in front of the Kaifeng mansion were full of beautiful things and piled up like a mountain.

Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe organized tens of thousands of manpower, transported them with chariots, and picked them up with civilian men. After about ten days, they delivered all these weapons to the ship of the Daqian Dynasty.

At this time, some people have already understood that Li Cun is controlling the monarchs, ministers, soldiers and civilians of the Zhao and Song Dynasty in Bianliang City, Tokyo step by step, and he has not damaged the troops of the Daqian Dynasty at all.

But Zhao Huanjun and his ministers didn't seem to know that they were falling into Li Cun's scheme step by step.

——Mr. Zhao Huan and his ministers were still optimistic that they had succeeded in negotiating a peace, imagining that as long as they endured a little longer, they would retreat when Li Cun got what he wanted.

Seeing this, Li Cun was even more polite.

This time, Li Cun personally ordered to recruit troops in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and the target was the original Song Army soldiers.

At this time, there are still many soldiers of the Song Army who have not returned to the Bianliang City in Tokyo, especially the magic sticks recruited by Guo Jing, Fu Linzheng and others.

These magic sticks are full of rascals, they can't fight, they can't defend, and their discipline is very bad.

When Bianliang City in Tokyo was captured, these magic sticks were the first to break up, and these magic sticks also took the opportunity to cause chaos. They often pretended to be soldiers, robbed good people, and did evil, which had extremely bad influence.

but--

Although Li Cun knew about this situation, for the stability of Tokyo Bianliang City, and for the next step to take control of Tokyo Bianliang City, Li Cun also gathered these mobs first, raised them, and then slowly dealt with them later.

Not long after Li Cun's imperial edict was issued, one group after another of the Song army was defeated and came to the recruiting point of the Daqian Dynasty to answer the call.

——At this time, these Song army’s defeated soldiers no longer have the support of the Zhao Song court, and Li Cun strictly controls the law and order, so they can’t go to rob. Therefore, if they want to survive, they can only obey the arrangement of the Daqian Dynasty .

So far, Li Cun has completely cleared away all obstacles to his entry into Bianliang City, Tokyo...
