The struggle of the reborn prince

Jinshangjing is located in the triangular region where the Huntong River, Yachuhushui River, and Aton River meet. The remaining veins of Changbai Mountain stretch across the east of the capital from south to north. The terrain has transitioned from a vast and flat plain to hills and shallow mountainous landforms. , The undulating terrain is like waves surrounding the upper capital, and the city is built on the flat platform on the west bank of the Adon River.It was originally the residence of Jurchen Wanyan tribe, commonly known as Emperor's Village, Yuzhai, and Guoli Na.The capital city was built during Jin Taizong's time, which was called Huining Mansion.

Construction began in the late period of Aguda's administration, and after more than 20 years of continuous construction by the two emperors Wu Qimai and Wanyanquan, the palace and ancestral temple were completed and became the political and economic center of the Jin Kingdom.The entire city is built with yellow clay, and the thick city wall stands upright, with a circumference of 23 miles. It imitates the Liao Shangjing system. The overall layout is divided into two cities, the north and the south, which are horizontally and vertically opposite. The south city is arranged horizontally, and the north city is vertical. Arranged, the Jurchen nobles lived in the southern city, and the northern city was an industrial and commercial district.The scale of the imperial city follows that of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is located in the west of Nancheng.

The whole city:: .s. has a strong defensive color, and has a complete defense system. Corner towers are built on each of the five corners of the city, which are key fortifications on the city wall.There are nine gates in the city wall, seven of which have urns, all surrounded by moats, and horse faces are repaired all over the place.At the intersection of the north and south cities, another city wall was built to separate the north and south cities, and there was also a moat running from west to east between the two cities... On the Fude Hall, Wan Yanqian was sad, pale, and sat upright. On the dragon chair, he stared blankly at the ministers of civil and military affairs who were also listless and helpless.He had already received news of the annihilation of the entire army from the reinforcements sent to rescue Wan Yan Yuying. The Song Army's West Route Army was less than fifty miles away from the city.And the news from Huanglong Mansion is not good.The city fell, and all the defenders died in battle.Zhao Er led his troops across the lower reaches of the Huntong River, less than a hundred miles away from the capital.In less than two days, soldiers will come to the city one after another.

In just half a month, nearly 30 soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin were defeated, and several senior generals were killed. Where the hope of revival lies, all the figures that were once very familiar were instantly wiped out, and his own daughter became a widow, and countless soldiers were buried with them.These bad news are like sharp knives.Ruthlessly pierced into Wanyanquan's heart, causing him pain, grief, and panic.

Wanyan Quan was very sad, painful, and confused. Why did he work hard for many years to turn the tide and let Dajin Kingdom get rid of the oppression of the Southern Dynasty, but all his efforts were in vain? Why did God treat women so unfairly? real person.Do you really want to become the king of subjugation?The two armies were almost wiped out, and the situation had deteriorated to a tragic situation where "there is no way out, there is no way out, and there is no village in the dark."Wan Yanquan almost fell into despair, but as a descendant of the Jurchen warriors, as the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.He would never surrender to Mongolia, so he even had the idea of ​​hanging himself and dying for his country.However, the pain is also a good medicine, which makes Wan Yanqian start to reflect on his ridiculous behavior for many years.Introspective, he finally gave up the idea of ​​martyrdom, realizing that this would only hasten the demise of the Kingdom of Jin.

And when Wan Yanquan thought of the difficulties of his ancestors starting a business.It is even more dangerous than it is now, so now is not the time to give up completely, surrender and admit defeat.Only by fighting again can the country be saved.And now it seems that it is not the time to mourn, cry and complain. The Song army has entered the capital in depth, but there are only [-] capable soldiers in the city, and they must try their best to save themselves again.

It may be a good choice to leave before the Song army has completely surrounded Huining City, so that he can escape with his life first and leave the capital for a comeback.But this is also an extremely dangerous road. Not only do you have to abandon the ancestral mausoleum and the soldiers and civilians in the city, leaving behind the name of cowardice who fled without fighting, but where to escape is also a problem.The Kingdom of Jin once occupied all the land of Khitan, the largest country in the world, but now it has become the possession of the Great Song Dynasty. Only Huining Mansion, the last piece of land, is left, and the only way to escape is to go to the extremely cold place in the north.

After much deliberation, Wan Yanquan thought that running away was not the best way, he had to avoid the pursuit of the Song people like a bereaved dog, and he would lose the last trump card he relied on to fight.Now at least he still occupies Jiancheng, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his command, but if he leaves, he will lose all the favorable conditions in front of him.Therefore, Wan Yanquan decided to stay and fight against the Song army for the final time.

After quickly adjusting his emotions, Wanyan Quan rose up like a flashback, and first decided to condemn himself and review his actions.This time he fully demonstrated his profound literary skills. An edict expressing his true feelings of repentance and grief, his words are sincere, his words are sincere, his words are touching, and he makes people cry. All the crimes are concentrated in one person, and he, the emperor, has to bear the responsibility for this. The soldiers and civilians in the city are all moved to tears when they hear about it!

And then Wanyan Quan thought that the fate of the country was so tragic, maybe it was time to change the reign name, and changing the reign name might be a change of luck, so he decided to change the reign name to Xingfu, in order to express his desire to revive the Dajin Kingdom .But the so-called change of Yuan and crimes are just superficial articles, to inspire the subjects spiritually. Maybe these wills will not help to save the fate of the Jin Kingdom, but he must try.

Wanyan Quan also understood that the ones who could really save Shangjing City depended on the soldiers guarding the city.Although most of the elite generals of the Kingdom of Jin were martyred by the black water of Wuzhi, after all, there are still a few elites in Shangjing. In order to command the army, Jiang Fang made his servant San Zhongyi become the Minister of the Ministry of War.However, Huining City has a population of 30, plus the number of people who fled into the city in the later period is now more than [-]. He ordered that all the young and strong should be organized into volunteers to participate in the war, and there will be [-] more available soldiers in the city. The combat effectiveness of these armies from different nationalities, classes and ages remains to be tested by the war.

Now the Song Army cavalry galloping and wandering back and forth can be seen almost all around the capital, and the connection with the outside world is almost completely cut off. After the Southern and Northern Expeditions, various places fell one after another, and the fields were destroyed.There was no way to collect taxes, resulting in a shortage of food and grass in the city.Obviously, it cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for tens of thousands of soldiers.Wan Yanquan also decreed to implement the Kuoli policy, which is the modern military ration supply distribution system.The food of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the whole city will be handed over to the marshals of each army, and each army will be responsible for distributing the food.

The determination has been made, and the posture has been displayed, but after all, Wanyan Quan is not a mature politician and a qualified military commander, so he still has to ask several important ministers about it.

"Grand Master, the Song army is already approaching the capital, how do you think we should deal with it?" Wanyan Quan wanted to show that he had changed his past.To be a good emperor again, the meeting place will be in Jigu Hall, one of the three main halls in the imperial city, and also the emperor’s study room. The surrounding bookshelves are full of books looted from Bianjing in the Song Dynasty. Now the Song army has already approached the city, which is really ironic.

"Your Majesty, I think that while we are actively preparing for war, we should start a peace negotiation again. As long as we delay it for another month, winter is coming, and the southerners cannot tolerate the bitter cold, and their combat power has been greatly reduced; moreover, the Song army relies on water transportation. At that time, the rivers will be frozen. They will not be able to get supplies in time, and they will not be able to survive the cold winter that lasts for several months. At that time, His Majesty will call, and soldiers and civilians from all over the country will gather. We can take this opportunity to counterattack and regain the lost counties." Said on the low couch.His condition is getting worse and he has difficulty sitting for long periods of time.However, the suggestions put forward are still repeating the same old tune, to trade time for space.

"Well, what good strategies do those lovers have?" Wan Yanquan nodded humbly, turned her face and asked the others.

"This... I think the grand master is right, we can start a peace negotiation again to delay the time!" Taibao Wanyan Zongmin said.

"Your Majesty, I think that after the soldiers of Qin King from all over the country arrive, we should fight the enemy decisively. As long as we defeat them, we will be able to recover all the ground lost if we follow the trend." Grand Tutor Wan Yan Zongxiong said. He learned that his son A Lin died in battle a few days ago. , His mood is always unstable, always thinking about revenge.

"That's right, Alubu and Wuzhe, what's your idea?" Wan Yanquan had nothing new to say after hearing what the two said, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction, but asked the two young people who were the only ones left.

"Your Majesty, I think Wulu..." Pu San Zhongyi thought for a while and said.

"Presumptuous, don't mention that rebellion again!" Zhi Ning's words were interrupted by Wu Shu's angry face.Wanyanyong's rebellion against gold has always been a pain in Wushu's heart, he doesn't want to hear about it, even his name.

"Grand Master, don't get angry, let Wu Zhe finish." Wanyan Quan didn't care, and asked Pu San Zhongyi to continue.

"Yes, I think that although Liaoyang City was finally lost, it is a good idea to use water as a strategy. There are two big rivers beside Huining City. Why don't we follow suit and dig the embankment to irrigate the city so that the enemy cannot approach. "Pu San Zhongyi said carefully, trying to avoid words that would make the Grand Master taboo.

"Well, this plan is feasible. Huining City is independent of the high platform, and the city will not be submerged even if the embankment is dug. We just need to wait for the severe cold." Wanyan Quan said with a smile, obviously quite satisfied.

"Your Majesty, I think you can build a wall around the city. It is winding and winding. The road can only accommodate three or two people in parallel. Resist the enemy." He Shi Lie Zhining also offered a plan, in fact, his plan was just a combination of the siege method used by Wushu in Korea and the advantages of the boundary moat, which just made it difficult for the Song army to use its strengths in field battles. You can also limit the use of enemy artillery.

"Okay, this strategy is also good. You can mobilize the army and the people to build it overnight before the enemy's army arrives." Wan Yanquan said happily, this is really three cobblers who have surpassed Zhuge Liang, not to mention that he has good ministers and strong generals by his side, so why should he be afraid of Zhao? two.

Time was running out, Wanyan Quan did what he said, he was not as anxious as Wanyan Yong to wait for the Song army to arrive and dig the breach, but ordered the Ministry of Industry to send people to immediately lead [-] civilians to dig the embankment and let the river flow in the city. Flooding around prevented Song Jun from approaching.At the same time, let servant San Zhongyi lead [-] soldiers and horses to patrol the river, and move all the people along the river into the city.Of course Heshi Lie Zhining would not be allowed to sit idle, he led fifty thousand civilians to besiege the city and build a low wall, rushing to work day and night without delay.

At the same time, the Kuoli operation in the city also started, and this major event was personally handled by the left prime minister Yan Zongxiong.Originally Kuoli is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as the standards are strictly followed and the benefits of Kuoli are patiently publicized to the common people, Kuoli can still be implemented normally.But Zongxiong didn't seem to be qualified for this job. After all, he was used to shameless performances, and it seemed a little difficult to show a positive and positive performance occasionally, so there were problems in the specific operation of the Kuoli policy.

For example, the original standard was to leave three stones of rice for the strong, and half for the old and the young, but there were problems in practice.Some Bojin who carried out the order wished to loot all the food from the people’s homes, and even used force to forcibly harvest them, which caused resentment and agitation among the people in the city. No matter rich or poor, people were starving and waiting to die ...
