I am Da Song

Chapter 100

In the wind and snow, the second prince Wobuli's face was pale and stiff, but in the snow and ice, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

But this generation of famous generals still suppressed the pain, and shouted to the city: "Master Song, don't waste your words, my Dajin has already had a royal brother who is ready to inherit the throne."

The emperor's younger brother is also the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Xieye, but this nominal commander-in-chief is still in the territory of Jin Kingdom, and he is a short-lived ghost.

Zhao Huan didn't care at all, and said: "I can regret to believe that the second prince has no intention of arrogating, but I don't know whether the emperor and the emperor's brother in the second prince's mouth trust the second prince?"

The severe pain in his chest made Wu Li's face pale as paper, and huge beads of sweat flowed down his face.

It seems that speaking is already an extremely difficult thing for this old famous general.

Zhao Huan was looking forward to it optimistically. The Marshal of the Eastern Route Army, the famous founding general of the Jin Kingdom, and the famous clan would not have passed away two months earlier, right?
But Wo Libu gritted his teeth with extremely tenacious perseverance, and shouted: "I, Da Jin, will never be tricked by your country of Song. In order to prove my public opinion, I have temporarily given up the position of Marshal to Eriduo, that is, What you Song people say is Zongfu."

Zhao Huan frowned, it wouldn't be self-defeating.

The third prince Wanyan Zongfu was carried out in advance.This is the biggest winner in the royal struggle of the Kingdom of Jin. After his son Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong ascended the throne, the throne has been passed down from generation to generation among the descendants of Zongfu.

The second prince knew that his time was running out, so before he died, he used all his remaining heat to brighten the future for his brothers.

He retreated bravely with his own torrent, even life and death, temporarily suppressing Zhao Huan's provocation and division of the Jin people.

Everyone knew that after the Third Prince became the commander of the Eastern Route Army, he would spend a lot of time sorting out the situation and controlling the entire army.His reputation is not enough to be like the second prince, and he is well-received in the East Route Army.Never think about leading troops to rebel.

Then Zhao Huan suppressed his thoughts, and said meaningfully to Wuli: "From the beginning to the end, I never thought of alienating you and others. Then I am here to congratulate the third prince. The previous promises made by me and Da Song will still be valid."

Zhao Huan turned around and walked down the wall, but the dissipated words in the wind and snow seemed to gather into a huge stone, which was held in Wuli's heart.

If Song's idea is not to alienate, then what is his purpose?
The third prince Zongfu on the side supported Wu Libu, and said: "Second brother, let me help you back to the camp. The most important thing is to take care of your health. Afterwards, my fourth brother and I committed suicide in the city. Head, vent your anger for Second Brother."

Not only did Wuli feel as if a thousand gold boulder was pressed against his chest, he had difficulty breathing, and gasped, he said to Zongfu, "You are just in charge of the Eastern Route Army, the people are not in harmony, the morale of the army is weak, and the possibility of conquering the inner city is very small."

After finishing speaking, Wu Libu coughed violently, and it took him a long time to adjust his breathing. He continued to speak with difficulty: "Next, we should shift the focus from attacking the city to ensuring the retreat. Let the fourth brother divide his troops to Hebei, defeat Zongze, and ensure that I'll wait until I can return to the Kingdom of Jin."

Zongfu asked unwillingly: "Then let Song go like this, how should I explain when I return to the court?"

Wu Libu panted violently, and scolded: "You will take over the government on behalf of my brothers in the future, how can you engage in a battle of will? Since we conquered Song Dynasty, we have won a complete victory. Gong, promised to cut off the land of two rivers, and there is only a little silver silk left that has not been collected. But that is just the ambition of the country. The last time our Eastern Route Army besieged Tokyo had tens of millions of silver silk. Why are you still staying here? "

"But..." Zong Fu frowned, all of this was an irreversible promise of Master Song.Now that Lord Song is so tough, who dares to have a glimmer of hope for it?
"No, but." Wo Li said unsteadily, "How long do you want to spend in the city of Tokyo? According to my Jin Dynasty brother's last brother and tradition, this round of brothers has ended one after another. After the uncle's generation has passed away, the next The throne will be chosen among my brothers in this generation. We must maintain our strength and regain the throne."

Compared with the slightly tragic Jin army, the Song Dynasty monarchs and officials in the inner city looked joyful.

One of the most famous generals in the Jin army, the second prince did not die for a long time, and entrusted the East Route Army to the third prince Zongfu, which reduced the pressure on Tokyo City by nearly half.

Changing generals before the battle, the Eastern Route Army will spend at least a long time to balance the internal and stabilize the morale of the army.The Song Army can then devote its main energy to dealing with the West Route Army.

As long as Nianhan's West Route Army can be severely damaged, the arrogance of the hard-line main combat faction in the Jin Army will wither.

But before that, Song Jun had a very important matter to solve.

In front of the Suzaku gate, Sun Fu, the Prime Minister on the right, followed Zhao Huan, pointing tremblingly at the snow-covered mountains of gold and silver in front of the city gate, and asked, "Officials, are these millions of taels of silver really going to be divided?" For those despicable and vulgar imperial guards?"

Zhao Huan turned his head to look at Sun Fu and asked, "Why not?"

"This is 15 taels of gold and 200 taels of silver. It can be paid for four years in the year-old coins of the Liao Kingdom, but it is all given to those shameful imperial guards. Isn't it a waste?" Sun Fu trembled with distress.

With the disintegration of the Jin Army's East Route Army, these ministers of the Song Dynasty became active again.How can giving so much wealth to those lowly warriors compare to giving it to the noble scholar-bureaucrats?You must know that the Song Dynasty shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with these lowly warriors.

Zhao Huan glanced at the civil servants who were ready to move, and said coldly: "Those who don't want to spend money on the army must have given the money to others in the end. Put away your stupid ideas, these silver silks, I will be here On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, personally distribute them to each soldier."

Although 200 million taels of silver is a lot, Zhao Huan will never shake his prestige in the army because of this.

On the contrary, through this extremely generous reward, I want to establish in the hearts of the soldiers of the Song Army that I will believe what I say, and I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

Only in this way can the morale of the army be inspired and the Song army be motivated to fight.

Liu Fan, the Sibi Commander on the side, asked with concern: "Officials, if there are wounded or killed soldiers in the imperial army, can they also receive rewards?"

Zhao Huan nodded solemnly, and replied: "The soldiers died in the king's affairs, and their loyalty will not be betrayed. All the soldiers who died in battle received double salary, and the injured received half more. The court did not keep a penny of these millions of taels of gold and silver. , cash in full, and reward the meritorious soldiers."

Following Zhao Huan's loud announcement, thunderous cheers resounded on the city wall: "Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

Looking at the cheering Forbidden Army, Sun Fu shrank his head, the official's prestige was getting higher and higher.I really don't know how much room civil officials and scholar-officials will have to resist the will of the officials after the Tokyo war is over.
