After the Jin army took control of Bianliang City, Wan Yan Zonghan first asked Zhao Huan to go out of the city to meet the alliance, and then sent Zhao Huan back with his tail and beard after Zhao Huan submitted the surrender form.

Afterwards, Wanyan Zonghan increased the chips bit by bit, making Zhao Huan and his ministers think that they would not overthrow the Song Dynasty, but just wanted to extort some property.

The initial development of the matter seemed to be similar to what Zhao Huanjun and his ministers had guessed.

The Jin army first took over Song's inner treasury, that is, Zhao Kuangyin set up the sealed pile treasury for recovering Yanyun.

The five seasons lost the picture, and the hole was chi.The ancestors of art build a country, and the foundation is to recruit scholars.The mother is free and extravagant, and must abide by the legacy.I can't win here, how can I succeed.The dragon and the tiger are prosperous and prosperous, and the mountains and rivers are the capital of the country.Guichou Yanbaozuo, Fengde's magic talisman.Daosheng Yao consults with Yue, and Yu can paint with high merit.The nine squares hold the elephant, and the Huan area is fixed for thousands of miles.

There are 72 characters in this ode, and each word is the number of a library of sealed piles. In this way, there are 72 piles of sealed piles.

Each treasury was full before the Huizong Dynasty, and inside it was gold, silver, brocade and various treasures accumulated by the Song Dynasty for more than 170 years.

Over the years, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son took out all the gold and silver from it to recover Yanjing and supply the gold people for disaster relief.

But even so, there are still treasures piled up inside, especially silk and silk, which are as huge as tens of millions of horses.

Xiao Qing, who was sent by Wanyan Zonghan, only found Chiku, that is to say, after only ten warehouses, he couldn't go any further, because there were too many treasures in the hidden warehouses, and he didn't dare to look more.

Later, Wanyan Zonghan sent close people again to seal and seal all the warehouses in the inner treasury, and planned to bring them all back to the Kingdom of Jin in the future.

Soon, Wanyan Zonghan sent people into the city again, demanding [-] good horses from Song.

Zhao Huan not only handed over all the horses of the army in the city, but also took away all the horses of the nobles and nobles in the city. He abruptly gathered enough [-] horses for the Jin people, so that He Li and other officials went to court. They can only walk.

Since then, Zhao Huan and his ministers have completely lost the possibility of breaking out of the capital, and they have all become turtles in the urn, unable to fly with wings, which made Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang determined.

However, after collecting the horses in Bianliang City, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang thought that there were still a lot of weapons in the city, which could also strengthen the courage of the people of Song Dynasty, and it was also a big hidden danger.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan soon sent people into the city to ask Zhao Huan for these weapons.

The reason Wanyan Zonghan gave was that these weapons were hidden among the people, which could easily cause civil strife in the capital, which was not conducive to the restoration of order in Bianliang City.

Wanyan Zonghan asked Zhao Huan to order the Kaifeng Mansion to confiscate these weapons and send them to the Jinying.

At this time, Zhao Huan didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, so he did everything without saying a word.

The Kaifeng government quickly issued a notice, ordering citizens to hand in the hidden weapons within a time limit, and those who failed to hand in after the deadline would be dealt with in accordance with military law.

The citizens all know that this is the order of the Jinren, who dares to disobey?So the weapons were handed over one after another.

In the end, all kinds of weapons were piled up like a mountain. The Kaifeng government hurriedly organized manpower, transported them with chariots, and picked them up with civilians. After several days, they were all sent to Jinying.

So far, Zhao Huanjun and his ministers have been completely under the control of Jin Ren.

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan proposed to ask Zhao Huan to send people to those areas that were still resisting, so that the people there would give up resistance.

Zhao Huan prevaricated (actually it was an objective fact) and said: "It's not that I didn't give the order, but that they didn't respect my order."

As a result, Jin envoy Xiao Qing threatened Zhao Huan on the spot, saying: "Is it because they don't obey the edict, or is it because the emperor refuses to issue an edict? Is the emperor going to break his promise again? Daijin has already conquered Tokyo. The reason why the soldiers did not enter the city is to preserve Zhao's Sheji, a whole city of life. If the emperor refuses to issue an edict, the second marshal will definitely take it with soldiers. At that time, there were only a dozen counties in the land of two rivers. The big gold and iron cavalry can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and then the people will be wiped out. , it’s all the emperor’s fault!”

Zhao Huan quickly ordered to send out wave after wave of land cession envoys to cooperate with the Jin army in recruiting and surrendering the areas that were still resisting.

A minister named "Ouyang Xun" came to the city of Shenzhou together with the Jin people. He cried out to the people in the city, and shouted loudly: "The court was wronged by treacherous ministers. I lost my teacher and humiliated the country. I came here to die. I’m just telling you guys, don’t open the city and commit thieves, but serve the country loyally!”

The Jinren were furious and sent Ouyang Xun to Yanjing.

Ouyang Xun was steadfast and unyielding, scolding all the way.

Finally, the golden man poured oil on Ouyang Xun's whole body, and then set fire to burn Ouyang Xun to death.

Its loyalty and strength inspire the sun and the moon!
And from then on, the Jinren began to fear nothing.

The Jin people first wanted more than [-] family members including Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Zhang Xiaochun, Cai Jing, and Li Siben, as well as Li Gang, Wu Min, Xu Churen, Chen Yu, Liu Kai, Zhe Kejiu, Zhe Keqiu, etc., Let Zhao Huanjun and his ministers deliver it to the Jin army.

Zhao Huan and his ministers sent all they could find to the Jin people, regardless of whether these people contributed to the Song Dynasty or not.

The gold man also wanted the 500 million taels of gold, 5000 million taels of silver, and one million pieces of satin that Wanyan Zongwang had extorted before.

Zhao Huangang said that you have sealed the internal treasury of my Song Dynasty, and what should I pay for it? The gold envoy Xiao Qing said: "The country's prime minister and marshal said that if the emperor feels embarrassed and cannot pay the full amount of gold and silk, then Just send troops into the city and let them take it by themselves."

When Zhao Huan heard the words, he hurriedly issued an edict to search the whole city of Kaifeng for gold and silver.

Once the edict was promulgated, the entire capital was plunged into panic again—the people thought that the matter would be over after handing over their horses and weapons, but they didn't expect to search for gold, silver and silk again!
According to the imperial decree issued by Zhao Huan, Shang Shuxing then drew up a specific standard for donating gold and silver for officials below the former consul.

Approved by Zhao Huan, the Kaifeng Mansion posted a publicity announcement: There are six officials in the former ruling minister and Chengzhi Neihan in Beijing, each donating 20 taels of gold, 500 taels of silver, and 33 pieces of color; There were 400 people above the generals of Zuo Jinwuwei, the imperial envoy Chengxuan and the observation envoy, each of whom donated ten taels of gold and [-] taels of silver.

Soon, the Kaifeng Mansion once again posted a list, urging the rich and powerful families in the city to come to the mansion to pay their property, and warned that if anyone dared to hide and bury it, all kinds of people were allowed to report it, and three tenths of the property would be given as a reward. And first use official money to pay for it, and the prisoner will be dealt with according to military law, and those who know about it and fail to report it will also be guilty of the same crime as the prisoner.

According to the imperial decree, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe, governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, repeatedly supervised Zheng Shen, the father of Empress Zheng (now Empress Dowager Zheng), and asked him to pay the gold and silk as soon as possible.

But Zheng Shen was unwilling to donate all the gold and silk, and planned to hide part of it, but was reported.

Zhao Huan was furious when he learned of the situation, and immediately issued an edict to pursue and destroy all the official positions of Empress Zheng's father and ancestors on the charge of concealing gold and silk.

Because of the involvement in this matter, many people were revoked from their official positions, and the specific cadres and envoys of Kaifeng Mansion were even sentenced to death and ordered to the city.

In order to deter Zhao Huan and his ministers, after the Jin army captured Yingchang Mansion, the Jin soldiers entered the city, searched for property everywhere, and robbed gold, silver, silk, silk, pommel horses and other things. The victims were countless.

The news soon spread back to Bianliang City, Zhao Huanjun and his ministers immediately accelerated the speed of transporting gold, silver, jewelry and silk to the outside of the city, hoping to end this nightmare as soon as possible.

Looking forward to the early withdrawal of the Jin people, Zhao Huan issued a decree to Yushitai, Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion, saying: The Jinren failed to complete the amount of gold and silver, and the supervision is very heavy. I hope Yushitai, Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion will step up their efforts. Radical treatment, for those who fail to pay within the time limit, no matter who they are, they will be arrested and prosecuted immediately.

The gold and silver root officials headed by Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe launched a severe gold and silver search campaign in the whole city in the name of following the order. People who feud the city to the respectful people and their wives must pay all the gold and silver, otherwise, they will be taken to Kaifeng Mansion and detained until the gold and silver are taken out.

Zhao Huan also issued an edict to allow people to buy tea and salt banknotes with gold and silver. The agreed price was 32 coins for one tael of gold and two hundred coins for one tael of silver.

Zhao Huan even ordered the Kaifeng government three times to make a list and announce it.

The first announcement was: All counties and towns from Zhuzhou who come to Beijing to do business on official business must change into cash and silver, and go to Kaifeng Mansion to pay as soon as possible from now on, and those who hide will follow the military law.

The second announcement is: All the wealthy businessmen and businessmen in the capital should pay all the gold and silver earned from shops and houses to the Kaifeng government as soon as possible, and they are allowed to report.

The third announcement is: officials below the head of the slaughterhouse should hand over the gold and the gold belt to the Kaifeng government.

Zhao Huan even issued an edict to dismantle all the gold treasure wheels in the Shenxiao Temple to fill them with gold.

It can be seen from this that Zhao Huan and his ministers racked their brains and brains in order to make up the amount of gold and silver.

In fact, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang had no right to make a decision on how to deal with the Song Dynasty politically. They had already sent people back to Shangjing to ask Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu for instructions on this matter.

In other words, it is up to Wanyan Wu Qimai to decide how to deal with the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, up to now, all the promises Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang have made to Zhao Huanjun and his ministers are all deceiving Zhao Huanjun and his ministers, and the purpose is nothing more than to make Zhao Huanjun and his ministers cooperate with them in blackmailing.

On the other hand, the Jin army may be immersed in the dazzling treasures piled up like a mountain, and until now they don't even know that Shuibo Liangshan has sent troops.
