Chapter 775 You Dajin Must Be Prepared To Hemorrhage (Please Subscribe!)

...

Before the Chinese army captured Yanjing that night, after discussing with his generals and staff, Yue Fei agreed that as long as the Chinese army can capture the crucial Yanjing, it will be a big victory, and the strategic goal should not be placed on how many enemies are wiped out.

Therefore, after Wang De, who was in charge of the siege, led his troops to attack Yanjing, he did not choose to occupy the gates of Yanjing, but went straight to the imperial city in Yanjing.

It was precisely because of this that very few of the Jin army in the city chose to fight in the streets at that time, and most of them escaped from the gates other than the Yingchun Gate.

I have to say that under the circumstances at that time, the Chinese army made the right choice. Otherwise, Yanjing, which had [-] to [-] Jin troops stationed at that time, could not have been captured so easily, and there would have been no great victory over the river. up.

but--

Then again, since the Chinese army killed fewer Jin troops at that time, it also left a big hidden danger.

That is, the withdrawn Jin army fled to Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Jingzhou and Gubeikou respectively.

This made it difficult for the Chinese army to regain these areas.

What was even more troublesome was that after Wanyan Xie led the Yundi Golden Army out of Yundi, he entered Yandi from Gubeikou.

After that, under the command of Wanyan Xieye, the Jin army firmly occupied Yanbei.

This is also the last negotiating chip of the Dajin Kingdom.

……

At the end of December, the situation in the Yanyun area finally stabilized completely.

At the same time, a large number of Jurchen captives were escorted to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Regarding how to deal with these captives, Li Yan quickly issued an order: Jurchen men and women should be dealt with separately.All men were castrated, and then sent to Beihai, Kyushu and other counties for mining.Women go through layers of screening, first select two hundred of the best and send them to the palace, and then select 1000 of them and send them to the Jiaofang Division for training, so that Li Yan can reward meritorious ministers, and the rest , All sent to the prostitute camp to reward the three armies.

in fact--

In addition to the Jurchen women, among the captive women sent to Tokyo this time, there were also many Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Mongolian, and even Han women—they were also the wives and concubines of the Jurchens.

For this group of people, except for some with special status, Li Yan waved his hand and pardoned all their crimes, allowing them, those who have families can go home, and those who have no family can be arranged by the Ministry of Rites to marry Han people as wives and concubines.

From Li Yan's treatment of these captives, it is not difficult to see that Li Yan still hates the Jurchens so much.

Moreover, due to serious changes in the situation, Li Yan no longer suppressed his dislike for the Jurchens.

For Li Yan's rough handling of the Jurchen captives, Wan Yanchang issued a serious protest on behalf of the Dajin Kingdom.

But Li Yan didn't even finish talking to Yan Chang.

Due to the tremendous changes in the situation, Li Yan was no longer interested in negotiating peace with the Jurchens, at least not in the original terms proposed by Da Jin.

This made Wan Yanchang extremely regretful that he hadn't finalized the conditions for Zhongjin to negotiate a peace earlier, so he had to fight again and again with Dazhong!
Now, the Chinese army has driven the Jin Army out of Yundi, regained Yundi, and regained the crucial Yanjing, Juyong, and Bauhinia Passes, leaving Dajin in an extremely passive situation!
How can we talk about this?
Wan Yanchang has even lost his size!

But at this time, Wan Yanchang couldn't help but talk about it!
Soon, Wanyan Wu Qimai sent someone to inform Wanyanchang: Continue to negotiate a peace, and the peace must be successful, at all costs. In addition, we must do our best to rescue the captured Jurchens.

Faced with such an order, Wan Yanchang smiled wryly!
Because Shangjing is too far away from Tokyo, and Jinren's communication is not developed enough, so that Wanyan Wu Qimai didn't even know that his order was already too late, and the Jurchen had already been poisoned by Li Yan— —Just the day before Wanyan Wu’s begging order reached Wanyanchang, nearly [-] Jurchen men, no, now it should be said that they were [-] Jurchen eunuchs, who had already been loaded onto ships and set out to sea. Where to go, Wan Yanchang didn't know.As for the Jurchen women, they have already been carved up by Dawen Wu.

With the situation at this point, Wanyan Chang no longer dared to make decisions without authorization, he could only write all of this in a letter, and then send someone to rush back to Shangjing, asking Wanyan Wu to beg for a decision.

After that, Wan Yanchang went to Li Gang's mansion to pay a visit to Li Gang.

Recently, Yue Fei, who had returned to Yanjing, launched several attacks on Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Jingzhou and other states in a row, trying to regain the Yanbei area.

But without exception, these attacks all ended in failure, and the Jin army defended these areas quite resolutely.

Therefore, Li Gang interviewed Wan Yanchang, wanting to see what kind of peace negotiation conditions Dajin Kingdom can come up with. If the conditions are suitable, Li Gang will complete the last piece of territory in the Yanyun area.

Wan Yanchang no longer had the arrogance he had before, and kept his posture very low. When he saw Li Gang, he said, "Mr. Li, the fight between China and Gold cannot continue like this. You have to think of a way."

When Li Gang heard the words, he looked puzzled: "Because when you went south, you did a lot of evil in our Han land. Your majesty hated you to the bone. To put it bluntly, your majesty wished to destroy your Jurchen Manchus. Now you have missed the best time for negotiations. What can I do?"

Wan Yanchang said: "At the beginning, it was because Emperor Song repeatedly breached the contract that we went south..."

Li Gang interrupted Wan Yanchang and said: "Stop talking in clichés anymore. Although the Song Dynasty was the Song Dynasty and my middle school was my middle school, the people in the two dynasties are both from the same wave, and they are all Han Chinese, so your reasons are basically the same. It doesn't make sense, it's not unreasonable for Your Majesty to insist on destroying your Jurchen clan."

Wan Yanchang said: "Okay, even if you are right, the two countries can't continue to fight like this? Let me say something that is not mine. Aren't you Dazhong planning to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and unify the Southern Kingdom?"

"This……"

Wan Yanchang grasped the essence of the problem, that is, at this stage, Dazhong, who needs to recuperate, cannot continue to fight with Dajin. In addition, Dazhong's first goal of unifying the world is the Southern Song Dynasty, not Dajin.

After hesitating for a while, Li Gang said: "What you said makes sense, but Your Majesty doesn't hate the people of Song Dynasty, you hate the Jurchens. You also know that in order to keep your family, I was almost dismissed by Your Majesty. How dare I do it for you now? Will the Great Jin Kingdom fight again?"

At the beginning, when the Jurchen captives were escorted to Tokyo, Wan Yanchang found Li Gang and begged Li Gang to rescue his family no matter what.

Li Gang went to the palace to meet Li Yan about this matter.

After discussing with the monarch and his subjects, they finally came up with such a bitter plan, asking Li Gang to sell a favor to Wan Yanchang.

By the way, although Li Gang came forward, Wan Yanchang's three daughters were sent to the palace in the end. When Wan Yanchang learned about this later, he had become one of Li Yan's countless father-in-laws.

But even so, compared to other Jurchens, Wan Yanchang is still much luckier, at least he still has children and grandchildren who can carry on the family line for him.

Of course, this premise must be that Wan Yanchang can successfully negotiate a peace, otherwise, his family members are only temporarily safe.

This is also one of the reasons why Wan Yanchang is actively negotiating peace.

Hearing Li Gang mention the matter of rescuing his family, Wan Yanchang thanked him and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for saving my family. People, for people, nothing is more precious than peace."

Li Gang is actually very clear, although Dazhong has achieved such a great victory in the Yanyun area, it is still negotiable in the end.

Therefore, Li Gang was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, I will try again, but...you Dajin have to be prepared for heavy bleeding."
