The struggle of the reborn prince

In the Song camp, Zhang Hao patiently argued with Ma Kuo, the Minister of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty, citing classics and classics, hoping to lower the conditions.But how could this guy who was bullied by the Jurchens forget the humiliation of the year, and he refused to give up even a single step, and his words were very fierce. There were many serfs who turned over and sang happily, and the only reply to him was "promise is fine." That's all, if you don't agree, just wait for the city to break! Zhang Hao was also helpless about this. This sentence was once the most spoken by the Jurchen back then, but today it was his turn to listen to it, but it was extremely harsh.

Even after talking for several days, Zhang Hao had worn out his lips and Da Song still refused to lower the conditions. In a fit of anger, he uttered a harsh word to kill Da Song's arrogance.Unexpectedly, the Song people seized the opportunity and drove the mission led by him out of the palace. They even confiscated the horses. They walked back for more than ten miles, and told Jin Guo to replace them, otherwise there would be no talk.On the same day, troops were sent to demonstrate under the city, shooting at the defenders at the top of the city, killing and injuring many people.

Originally, things like paying New Year's Coins were acceptable to Wanyan Quan, and she also had this kind of psychological preparation. Whoever let herself lose to others, of course, has to pay some price for failure.Regarding the cession of the land, although he felt that the Song people's swords were a bit fast, and the Song army could cross the river to force the capital at any time after losing Huanglong Mansion, but he thought that as long as he gave more money to redeem Jeju, his idea was similar to that of Zhao Huan back then. .However, Wan Yanquan couldn't accept the fact that he would lose the emperor's title and become a minister of the Song Dynasty.Do you think the Dajin Kingdom was once?Ten thousand?Book?Bar? .nsb. The momentum was like a rainbow, and it took only a dozen years to conquer the Liao Kingdom and abolish its monarch.And Da Song was also his own defeated general. Although he fell short in the end, he also once showed his troops to his capital.Captured its two emperors, even now it is the fallen Phoenix.You can't bow down to the chicken, if that's the case, you might as well commit suicide.

"Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty are too rude. I think these demands are unacceptable. We should stop the peace talks and prepare for war with all our strength." Zhang Hao said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I think the peace talks cannot be terminated. At this moment, the Song army is besieging the city with 20 troops. The news from all over the country is cut off, and the food and grass will not last long. Once the peace talks are stopped, the Song army will attack the city. It will lead to disaster!" Wanyan Zongxiong said.

"Humph, isn't the Taifu exaggerating?" Cai Songnian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said, "Although the Song army is heavy, Zhao Er is born in the countryside, contaminated with business habits, and he is greedy and loves money very much. It is his nature to propose such harsh conditions. Therefore, the use of troops is only to intimidate us, and it is true to extract money. You must not fall into its tricks."

"The ministers do not agree with what the Taifu said, and they must not agree to the conditions easily, but should return the color, so that they understand that our Dajin Kingdom is definitely not easy to bully." Cao Wangzhi said.He was a surrendered minister of the Song Dynasty, and he was also a survivor of the assassination of the Song Dynasty's "Eradication of Traitors and Punishment of Rebellion". Naturally, he knew what would happen to him if he surrendered.Nature tried her best to prevent peace talks. "Your Majesty, the Song Army is showing off its military power in the northern city today. They shot and killed more than a dozen of my guarding soldiers one after another, but the Taifu did not allow the soldiers to shoot an arrow back. They made them retreat safely and caused an uproar among the troops." Pu San Zhongyi came out, his words were full of anger, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Wanyan Zongxiong's actions.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a critical moment for the peace talks, so that the sergeants will not shoot in vain. They are afraid of ruining the peace, and they have no intention of fighting." Wanyan Zongxiong saw that everyone accused him. It looked normal, but it might happen at any time, seeing the emperor's uneasy expression, he quickly defended himself.

"Well, I also thought that now is the critical period of the peace talks, and we can't give up easily." Wan Yanqian understood that now King Qin's teacher might be coming, and it is not good for him to start a war now, so he should use the peace talks to delay the time.

"I think what your Majesty said is very true, and we should continue to deal with the Song people to wait for the opportunity." Seeing that the two factions were in dispute, Taishi Wushu expressed his understanding of Zongxiong's actions, and also calmed the impatience of the main fighter.

"What the grand master said is exactly my original intention. The people of Song Yaowu intend to force us to submit. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I have prepared some gifts for the people of Song so that peace talks can be resumed!" Wanyan Quan made the closing statement, Order to continue the peace talks...

The next day, a team came out of Huining City, led by Grand Tutor Wan Yan Zongxiong, accompanied by more than 20 carts loaded with gold, silver, treasures, wine and meat, went to the place where the Song Emperor was driving, and went to reward the army.Zongxiong, like the early Jurchen men, joined the army since he was a child. He participated in the entire battle against Liao and made great contributions. He was awarded the hereditary ten thousand households by the Taizu.

After entering the camp of the Song Army, everything was neat and tidy, and even horse manure was rarely seen on the way.And the morale of the generals I encountered was high, their armor was brand new, their faces were full of red light, and the horses under their seats were also fat and strong. When a group of people passed the heavy camp, they were even more frightened. There are as many as ten thousand stones, and there are also screams of cattle and sheep being slaughtered. It is obvious that they are not in danger of food shortage, and the supply of materials is normal and very abundant.

Zongxiong also discovered that many low earth nests were built in the camp of the Song Dynasty. This Wanyan Zongxiong is no stranger to him. It looks small on the outside, but it is actually spacious inside. In the early years, the Jurchens lived here to avoid the wind and snow and survive the long cold winter. .This shows that the Song army has made preparations for the winter, and it is by no means that they will withdraw their troops when the cold winter comes as they imagined. It shows that they will never leave until they achieve their goals.

What happened next made Zongxiong even more embarrassing. They wanted to come to give gifts, but they were dispatched by the Grand Tutor and Zuo Xiang of the Kingdom of Jin, who was also the leader of Taishangshu, whose status could be compared with the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He needs to meet him, and he also wants to take the opportunity to talk with him about peace negotiations, even if it is good to meet him once to save face.But when the gift list and congratulatory letter were sent in, not to mention Zhao Er summoned him, he didn't even have a minister or servant to accompany him, and only a servant was sent out to receive the gift.

But the servants were picky about the gifts from Jin Guo, and did not say anything sneeringly. They only glanced at the top-quality ermine fur robe they gave Zhao Er, then pinched their noses and threw it aside, saying that There was a foul smell on it, and the emperor would never wear it; he even sneered at the dozens of carts of gold and silver sent over, saying that the Kingdom of Jin is considered a big country, even those small countries in Persia are not comparable, and the gold and silver sent by them are all worthless. Calculated by the ship, last year the Seljuks alone sent 200 million taels of gold, but they were only asked to pay millions of coins, and they were still talking about it, not having a good time.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the dignified prince of a country blushed and turned pale after being scolded by a servant in the Southern Dynasty, but he still had to accompany him with a smile and begged him to send a message to the emperor. Perhaps only Zongxiong could understand the feeling.In the end, maybe the money played a role, maybe Zhao Er felt that it was necessary to continue the talks and agreed to continue the peace talks, but he had to send important ministers or princes to Song Ying as hostages, and the Song envoys who entered the city must be protected.At this point Zongxiong finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he fulfilled his mission and obtained the opportunity to continue the peace talks, saying that he would immediately send hostages out of the city after receiving the emperor's permission...

Huining City had a bleak Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone thought that negotiations must continue at this time, so they took the prince as a hostage.This was the first time this happened after Jin Jianguo, and it made everyone feel extremely humiliated. In the past, they were the ones who swaggered and asked people from other countries to be hostages, and now they themselves have come to this point.

The emperor's brothers who were named princes have all been killed, and the princes of Taizong's line have also been killed in previous civil strife, so they can only be selected from the still alive people of Taizu's line.In the end, it was decided to send Ji Wang Wanyan Xinilie as a hostage. He is the eleventh son of Aguda, and he has not done much. Can afford to toss.

On August [-]th, Wanyan Quan decided to personally send Prince Ji Wanyan Xinilie out of the city as a hostage, and when they drove out of the imperial city, they found that both sides of the street were full of soldiers and civilians.Now the people of the Song Dynasty are about to enter the city, and the court is still dreaming of the stupid peace talks. The soldiers and the people are unavoidably emotional, and the whole city is noisy. worship it.

Wanyan Quan was deeply moved by this scene. The country was broken like this, and he made a mess of the country, but the soldiers and people still respected and loved him. He felt more ashamed and guilty, and hurriedly got off the car and asked all the soldiers and people not to kneel down. , all stood up, and the accompanying officials and guards were about to put up a roof to shade the emperor, but he flatly refused, saying, "The army is exposed, why should I use this?"

Caring for one's subjects and the common people is not just words, there must be practical actions at critical moments, everyone flocked to Wan Yanquan's side, and even a few comrades accidentally touched his clothes, but she didn't care.In fact, the people of Dousheng do not have high requirements. As long as they have enough food three times a day, their family and country are safe and they feel very happy. Seeing the emperor so naturally moved, the soldiers and common people cheered long live wherever they went, and wished to die in battle. Nothing to hate!

Regarding the strong desire of the soldiers for war, Wan Yanquan expressed his understanding, saying that the Song people were two-faced, and he would not be so naive as to believe the lies of the Song people. He only hoped that the soldiers and civilians in the city would continue to be vigilant and strengthen their defenses.But the matter of peace negotiation cannot be killed with a single stick. I hope to wait until King Ji leaves the city to see the reaction of the people of Song. If they still refuse to retreat, then they will fight to the death with everyone and live and die with the city!

Wan Yanquan's performance at the moment was really good. Not only did he personally quell the civil strife and riots that might have been caused, but he also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians.He climbed the tower together with all the troops, stared at the Song Dynasty army outside the city, and watched King Ji leave the city.And Ji Wang Wanyan Xi Nilie also performed well, bid farewell to the emperor and the people who saw him off, and went out of the city without hesitation singing songs to Songying.But the Song army did not retreat, and was still dispatching troops...
