Chapter 189 The Fall of the Northern Song Dynasty (End)

Seeing that the Daxia people would not allow Confucianism to become the official school of Daxia, and the Confucianists from the Northern Song Dynasty did not bother too much. A certain old master Dong went to see a certain Emperor Wu, what if he fooled the Daxia people into the bait?

They actually wanted Daxia to accept their other condition, that is, Daxia allowed them to maintain their original status in the territory of the original Song Dynasty after they captured the Song Dynasty.

Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty really dare to mention it!
Let them maintain their original status in the territory of the original Song Dynasty. How is that different from the current situation in the Northern Song Dynasty?

People from Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty made a difference. First, there will be no Great Song Dynasty in the future, and it will be the territory of Great Xia; second, the Zhao family is no longer a royal family, and they will not be the monarchs they serve. They will be dominated by people sent by Great Xia .

It sounds a bit interesting and very creative. This is the creation of "one country, two thinking" (the same country belongs to the same country, but there are two cultural thoughts at the national level)!
The envoys sent by Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty even made it clear that as long as Daxia agreed to this condition, they would immediately bow their heads and surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Daxia would certainly not agree to this condition. Confucianism in this world has grown crooked, and it must be dealt with. How could this crooked Confucianism continue to grow?I still want to grow in the territory of Daxia.

These Confucian envoys can only return without success!

After confirming that Daxia would not make changes for Confucianism, Confucian scholars became stronger in resisting Daxia. They tried their best to spread rumors to discredit Daxia, incite the people to resist Daxia, form more troops, and establish more Fortifications...

It made the whole people of the Northern Song Dynasty fight against Xia, but this could not really stop Daxia!
More than six months later, the Great Xia's campaign to overthrow the Northern Song Dynasty began, and the six-way army marched southward in a mighty manner, even faster than when the Jin soldiers went south to attack the Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty court had no idea that Daxia had sent troops.

The fortifications set up in the north by the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed by the artillery fire of the Daxia army, and then the Daxia army stepped over the wreckage of the fortifications and came to the south.

We already know that Daxia’s march is very fast, and the attack is sudden. I don’t know when the Daxia people will fight over. The Northern Song Dynasty made a lot of arrangements to prevent it, but it didn’t work at all. The way they transmit information is too backward. Also too slow.

What's more, after more than six months, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty has also relaxed. After all, it is impossible to maintain such a high level of vigilance.

When the Daxia soldiers approached the city, the Northern Song army hadn't even assembled yet, and the city was breached by Daxia. After the Daxia army captured a city, they drove to the next city without stopping, and one city after another was destroyed by Daxia. The army captured, and the Northern Song Dynasty had no power to fight back. The gap between the two sides in terms of military equipment, information and intelligence, and the quality of armed personnel was too great.

After being destroyed by the Great Xia army, many Confucian-born officials of the Northern Song Dynasty chose to commit suicide. Some of them were loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and some of them knew that the Great Xia people ruled the world, and they were unwilling to use them in the future When they were ordinary civilians, they committed suicide, so as to achieve their loyalty.

This time to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, the Daxia military adopted the arrangement used in "Nine Songs of the Sky", dividing the army, and all the way went straight to Lin'an, the political center of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Daxia army responsible for attacking Lin'an did not have to control other cities on the road, but only had one goal, to destroy the ruling center of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This army marched so fast that when they arrived in Lin'an, none of the Northern Song emperors and ministers in Lin'an City noticed. When they heard the sound of cannonballs and saw the flames of the shells exploding, the Northern Song emperor and ministers were startled by the Daxia people. Here comes the kill!

Zhao Huan panicked, and hurriedly called a group of ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty to the palace to discuss countermeasures, but it was already too late, and what effective countermeasures could they discuss?
Except for a few ministers, most of the Northern Song Dynasty ministers still went to the palace although they knew that the situation was irretrievable and it might be difficult to come back alive.

Why are they here?

It's not about protecting the country and the society!

I just want to keep their last dignity as Confucian scholar-bureaucrats and courtiers of the Song Dynasty.

Live with Da Song, die with Da Song.

Before all the ministers entered the palace, the Great Xia army had already entered Lin'an City and headed towards the palace.

The imperial palace was guarded by the Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was the opponent of the Great Xia army. With the guns opening the way, the Great Xia army surrounded the Northern Song Palace in Lin'an and broke into it.

In addition to the emperor who was discussing matters and the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty in the palace, the harem was already in chaos. Some eunuchs and maids took the opportunity to make trouble, the concubines and princesses turned pale, and the princes were nervous. They didn't know what to wait for next. What will be their fate? They have heard about the tragic end of the concubines, princesses and princes after their country was subjugated.

After the Daxia army invaded the palace, they did not kill randomly, but even dealt with some eunuchs and maids who took the opportunity to make trouble.

In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Huan and a group of ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty were discussing here, when they heard shouts of killing, gunshots and screams from outside, how could they not know that it was the Daxia people who had entered the palace.

Zhao Huan was so frightened that his face turned pale, but many ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty who came here showed no signs of fear.

Zhao Huan trembled, looked at the ministers in the palace, and tremblingly said: "Which Qing family can go to make peace with Daxia? Just say, just say... I am willing to pay any price, as long as Daxia's soldiers are willing to retreat. "

Seeing that Zhao Huan's body was trembling with fright, Sun Fu couldn't help sighing in his heart, and said: "The housekeeper is the emperor of Song Dynasty, how can he act like this? Officials, don't let the people of Daxia underestimate you!"

Zhao Huan glanced at Sun Fu, and thought to himself: "I am the emperor, and the people of Daxia will kill me, not you. Of course you can say that."

He continued to ask tremblingly, "Which love minister is willing to go on my behalf? I beg you love ministers!"

As Zhao Huan said, he stood up from the dragon chair and actually wanted to bow down to the Northern Song ministers in the palace, begging them to negotiate a peace.

He Li could only say: "Officials, it may be too late to negotiate a peace now, as I expected, at this time, all parts of the Song Dynasty are being invaded by the Daxia people, and the Daxia people want to destroy us Wait, how can there be peace with me?"

After hearing this, Zhao Huan anxiously said in front of the dragon chair: "What should I do? What should I do!"

At this time, there was movement outside, and a Great Xia army appeared, marching towards the Zichen Palace.

When Zhao Huan saw the Great Xia army appearing outside the hall, his face became more anxious. He wanted to call for the door to be closed, but he didn't call out in the end.

The ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty in the palace began to close their eyes and rest their minds, as if they wanted to recover their spirits and wait for the arrival of the Great Xia army.

It was Gai Nie who led the Great Xia army. He only brought seven people into the Zichen Hall. When he arrived behind the Zichen Hall, he said to Zhao Huan and all the Northern Song ministers: "Long time no see, how are you all?"

He Li opened his eyes, looked at Gai Nie, and said, "So it's Mr. Gai. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to see Mr. Gai today."

Gai Nie said: "Gai came here to hope that you can surrender and give up resistance. I, Daxia, is a civilized country, and I will guarantee your personal safety. After the war is over, I will give you a reasonable place to go."

"A civilized country? I think you are a country of beasts, a country of monsters! How can a civilized country invade other countries at will? How can it bully a country that is weaker than it? Such a shameless country is also worthy of being called a "civilized country." Country'?" A Northern Song official also went all out and cursed directly.

Gai Nie glanced at the official, and said: "I am attacking your country not to kill you, but for the sake of the people of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, the Northern Song official scolded again: "Shameless words, destroying other countries' cities and destroying other countries' states, are actually for the sake of the people of this country? What a shameless person!"

Gai Nie said: "This is the difference between your ideas and ours. Moreover, this matter must be seen from the past, and it must be seen from what we will do in the future."

"Hahaha, this is the most shameless thing Liao has ever heard in his life! Officials, forgive Fengming for not being loyal to the officials anymore! Daxia dog thief, Liao will watch you from the ground, Liao will go!"

After the Northern Song official finished speaking, he jumped towards a big pillar in the hall and bumped his head against it.

The Daxia personnel who entered the palace were fully capable of preventing the Northern Song minister from committing suicide, but they did not stop him, allowing the minister to commit suicide by bumping into a pillar.

After this minister, another minister committed suicide one after another. Some committed suicide by hitting a pillar, some took out a knife or dagger from their arms, and some committed suicide by taking the poison they carried on their bodies.

These people are ready when they come.

Sun Fu took off his hat, put it on the ground respectfully, then knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan asked, "Sun Qing, what are you doing?"

Sun Fu said: "Officials, I am sorry that I can no longer serve you. I am grateful to the officials for trusting me and entrusting me with a great responsibility. However, since the Song Dynasty is today, I have a great responsibility. Please die!"

After saying this, Sun Fu didn't care whether Zhao Huantong agreed or not, knelt on the ground, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into his chest.

The death of Sun Fu was the beginning. When the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Zichen Palace chose to commit suicide, they would first kowtow to Zhao Huan, say a paragraph, comment on their own merits and demerits, and then calmly commit suicide.

He Li looked at the corpses of his colleagues all over the place, looked at Gai Nie, and said, "Mr. Gai, may I ask how your country will treat the officials and the people of Song Dynasty?"

Knowing that this was his dying question, Gai Nie replied: "Don't worry, He Xianggong, my Daxia will not abuse His Majesty, and the people of the Song Dynasty will treat my people of Daxia as equals."

"That's good!"

He Li nodded to Gai Nie, then looked at Zhao Huan, took off his official hat, put it on the ground as well, knelt down, and kowtow respectfully to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan said sadly, "He Qing, do you want to abandon me?"

He Li said: "The official family, the country is about to perish, but I don't want to be the minister of the subjugated country. This is the last little wish of the minister. The official family wants to live and take care, and the minister will go!"

Blood flowed out of He Li's mouth, he had put a poisonous sac in his mouth, now he bit it open, the poison in the poisonous sac entered his body from his mouth.

The members of the Great Xia who watched the suicides of the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty were all silent at the moment. The Northern Song Dynasty was very cowardly in their eyes, but now this scene, they still have the last backbone...

In Yingtianfu City, Xunzi, who came to this world, looked at the minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who committed suicide on the screen, shook his head and sighed: "They are all good seedlings, but it is a pity that they have embarked on a wrong path."

　So far, the world of the Northern Song Dynasty has come to an end.I will start writing a new world tomorrow, and I will not write this kind of ordinary ancient world in the future. I wrote this for later use, but later found that it may not be used at all.
