Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 673 The Reaction of Zong Ji's Return

Their fate has long been doomed, no one cares about their life and death, the invincible generals in the past are worth less than a dog, so humble that even the Jurchens are indifferent to their life and death.

In the minds of the princes and ministers of the two countries, it is natural for the victor to sacrifice his captives. Of course, the fate of the defeated must be decided by the victor. There is nothing wrong with offering captives to the Taimiao as a sacrifice to the ancestors, and even the enemy has nothing to say.

Of course, Qu Duan was not willing to be lonely. He organized his troops when the Jin army was retreating, crossed the big river, and launched a short attack on Hedong, annihilating [-] Jin troops in one fell swoop, making the Jin army in Hedong terrified.He acted crisply and sharply, which can be called a classic battle example, and was listed as a war example in the lecture hall of the Ministry of War.

However, for the imperial court, the victory in Shaanxi was insignificant, and it could not be compared with the Eastern Front at all, and most of them were miscellaneous troops.

The 27-day Xuzhou battle was earth-shattering. Wushu was almost left behind. The main force of the Jin army suffered unprecedented losses. Nearly [-] people died in the battle, which almost surpassed the classic created by Wang Xiu himself.

As Dazhong Jianyan's nine years passed halfway, and the excitement of the war had not yet passed, the missions of the North-South peace talks shuttled back and forth, just like children playing house, you punch me, I give you a punch, and everyone Still playing together.

There is no way, diplomatic relations are playing tricks, everything depends on the development of the situation, if neither side wants to fight, it cannot be fought.

Wang Lun went to the north for peace talks under the false title of minister of the Ministry of Rites. The secret order given to him by the court was to maintain the status quo and reject all unreasonable demands. Great Song Navy."

Although the Tiger Wing Army guarding the water army suffered great losses, it also caused even greater losses to the Jurchens.

The costly naval fleet was wiped out, and the newly built warships became the ships of the Song Dynasty.It is true that the Tiger Wing Army retreated, but the Jurchens were amazed by their ferocious fighting power. More importantly, with the support of sea ships, the horse army could not be wiped out at all. They could land at any point in the sea, and it was impossible to defend against them.

In other words, if there are tens of thousands of follow-up troops, the Song army can completely rush to Yanshan and give the Jin army in front a bottom line.

The victory of the war gave Wang Lun enough confidence to argue hard at the negotiating table. In addition, he was scheming and good at debating, which made the Jurchen chieftain very embarrassed.

Wu Shu returned to Hebei and punished more than ten generals of the Jin Army and above, and firmly controlled the Jin Army in Hebei and Yanshan.

Wu Qimai's condition worsened day by day, and he was on the verge of dying. Heshi gradually took control of the political power, and adopted the tactics of supporting Wu, severely cracking down on Nianhan's cronies.

Finally, Wu Qimai came to the end of his life, and Heshi inherited the throne. The long-simmering conflicts among the top Jurchen leaders have also evolved to an irreconcilable stage, and a good show is about to be staged.

Of course, the Song court also disappeared with the pressure, and the conflicts between various forces became more acute. Everyone needs to share the results. Of course, Wang Xiu is naturally sitting on the Diaoyutai.

Li Gang confirmed his position in the imperial court, knowing that the position of the Privy Council was unshakable, so why did he officially release it to the military prefecture, and Liu Guangshi officially joined the army as the capital of the Privy Council and became the second-rank capital school.Many meritorious ministers of civil and military affairs were promoted to rank and titles, and they made outstanding contributions to the Yuan Dynasty.

As usual, Zhang Qiyuan commanded the battle of Xuzhou. Although the handling was not too big, the civil servants believed that he was able to manage well, and he was rewarded by the court for his great meritorious service. , and finally took a crucial step, which Tang Ge, Li Gang and others are willing to see.

A new political star is rising, and it won't take long for him to become the existence to check and balance Wang Xiu. There is no enmity and contradiction in it, everything is due to the system.

At the same time, the imperial court announced amnesty for the whole world, exempted the war zone from taxes for two years, and commended the Huangsong Bank and the Liangzhe Road for their great contributions to the war.

The most surprising thing is that Princess Xin'an, oh, it should be said that Emperor Ji Xin'an returned to the court, and was rescued by the envoy of the Privy Council's Speed ​​Division.

Of course, this matter is only known to the key people in the two governments. The market only knows that the princess returned unexpectedly. Back to the second emperor's hope.

After being identified by the old palace people, it was undoubtedly Zongji. Zhu Lian was very calm and happy, and was officially canonized as the princess of Xin'an Dachang.The decree was to build a magnificent mansion for Princess Xin'an on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

It's a pity that Princess Xin'an's body is weak, and she was overworked for days, unable to withstand the hardships of the road, so that she fell ill from overwork, and fell ill as soon as she landed, so she had to stay in Jingdong to recuperate.

However, it gradually spread in the market that Zhao Ji betrothed Emperor Maode to the Cai family, and also betrothed the fourteen-year-old Xin'an Emperor to Wang Xiu.

For some reason, Wang Xiu married Qin Moyan, a civilian girlfriend. In the end, the rumors became more and more intense, and even developed into personal attacks.

"Could it be true that Wang Xianggong was young and Meng Lang was dissatisfied with Zongji wanting Maodediji? That's why he went to Fanlou frequently, and finally had to accept Lady Wen."

"There can be falsehoods. Everyone knows that Wang Xianggong lingered in Fanlou back then! The Taishang originally wanted to betroth Maode Diji, but he was afraid that Wang Xianggong was a romantic seed, so he changed Xin'an Zongji. In the end, Wang Xianggong was furious. Under the circumstances, he returned to his hometown and married a folk daughter."

"I heard that Xin'an Zongji was very favored by the emperor back then, and she was a very favored Zongji in the clan."

"That's right, even several concubines are inferior to Xin'an Zongji. Otherwise, Wang Xianggong would not fall out of favor and be sent to Liguo for six years before finally returning to the court."

"It turns out that there are still such twists and turns! However, Liguo has outstanding people and the wealth is the best in the world, so how can it be regarded as a reprimand?"

"I don't understand! Back then, Liguo was full of bandits, and copper and iron were in a state of depression. Who would want to go wherever they want?"

"It's strange, why have I never heard of it."

"Could Mr. Wang say this kind of nonsense! It seems that there are rumors that important officials of the court invite the second emperor back, but Mr. Wang has been delaying. Maybe there is something hidden in it."

"Are you saying that Wang Xianggong took revenge on the Taishang?"

"I can only say that there is such a possibility. I never said it, just think about it with your heart."

"I wonder how Wang Xianggong will treat Xin'an Emperor Ji when she comes back? Maybe Wang Xianggong rescued the captives while they were retreating."

"That's not clear. Anyway, it's all in the past. The key is why Wang Xianggong prevented the court from welcoming the two empresses."

"There is a problem here. At that time, Wang Xianggong had a heavy army of [-]. As long as he asked the captives for Maode Emperor Ji and Xin'an Zongji, how could the captives not give face?"

"Be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth. Even if there is such a thing, it is private. How can you and I, Xiaomin, know."

"Could it be that Wang Xianggong really did it?"
