Chapter 2014: Song Dynasty will not perish even if it makes a mistake [Free]

"Then according to what you said, the Song Dynasty can't lose at all!"

"They are all bound to lose. Didn't you see that the title of this book is "Wanyan Jiumei"? When I first opened the book, I didn't know what Wanyan meant. Now, needless to say, everyone knows that Wanyan is the surname of the Jin Dynasty's royal family. This Wanyan Jiumei must be the ninth princess of the Wanyan family. So it seems that after the Song Dynasty, there will be another female emperor, and she will be a female emperor of a foreign race!"

"No way. For so many years, no matter whether it was the Northern and Southern Dynasties or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no foreign race has ever unified China. Isn't it impossible for China to be ruled by a foreign race? Is this possible?"

"I also think it's unlikely, but since the rubbish author wrote it this way, then Wanyan Jiumei must be from the Wanyan family. It's impossible for a royal family member of the Song Dynasty to be called Wanyan Jiumei!"

"According to what you said, Kaifeng will definitely be conquered, but you also said it is impossible to conquer militarily. How can it be conquered?"

"It's simple, an internal explosion. Not only have I read all the original stories by the rubbish author, I've also read those history books that have many historical details that are not even mentioned in the original stories. These history books clearly state that most of the strong cities exploded from within, and very few strong cities were actually breached by the enemy."

"So I'm thinking that the Jin people won so domineeringly, and everyone knows that the Song Dynasty's national fortune is gone. Next, heroes will definitely rise up all over the world, and there will be peasant uprisings everywhere. And the two emperors in the Song Dynasty are so chaotic, there must be people with ulterior motives. It will be normal for them to open the city gates and surrender directly from the inside. The Jin Kingdom will win without fighting!"

"Fuck, now that you put it that way, it's amazing. I think this is definitely how the rubbish author arranged it!"

"That's about right. Unless the rubbish author is shameless and wants to forcibly extend the life of the Song Dynasty and then let the Song Dynasty produce a peerless god like Huo Qubing, Liu Yu, Li Shimin, or Zhao Kuangyin to forcibly defeat the Jin Dynasty in the future, otherwise the Song Dynasty will definitely perish like this!"

"What if the rubbish author is even more shameless than we thought and is completely upside down?"

"What else can we do? We can't really ask the emperor to open the city gates and let both emperors be taken as prisoners!"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, being a prisoner is not bad. If the ministers took the initiative to open the city gates, then the meritorious service would be to these ministers, and they would become heroes of the Great Jin Kingdom. Even if the emperor was captured, there would be no benefit."

"But if the emperor surrendered on his own initiative, then I would be a meritorious official of the Great Jin Kingdom. For the sake of its own alliance and the two kings and three Ke, the Great Jin Kingdom would have to support the two emperors Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji. Although it is inevitable that they will suffer some grievances like the Southern Tang emperor, the Southern Tang emperor surrendered passively, while our Great Song emperor surrendered voluntarily like the Qian family. This way, we can live a good life in the Jin Kingdom and no longer have to worry about the Jin people attacking us all day long!"

"So since we are going to lose anyway and be captured by the Jin people, it would be better for me, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, to surrender!"

"Fuck, your brain... it's a pity that you don't have a brain! It's a pity that a rubbish author can't be so crazy. How can there be such a shameless emperor in the world?"

……

"Alas, I don't want to write it this way, but the real history is so crazy!" Liu Xu couldn't help but sigh when he saw these comments. Even if the timeline was advanced to the time when the Jin Kingdom completely surrounded Kaifeng for the second time, normal historians would not have thought that the Northern Song Dynasty would perish in such an outrageous way.

But history is like this, so, with the day-by-day updates, the Jin Kingdom completely surrounded Kaifeng.

The Jin Kingdom blocked the elite of the Western Army
The Jin Dynasty controlled two waterways in Kaifeng
In order to prevent the properties of important figures close to the city walls from being destroyed by catapults, He Li, the new prime minister of the Song Dynasty, forced the last elite troops in the city to go out for a field battle, completely giving away 30,000 troops.

He Li decided to use the Eastern magic and sent the old soldier Guo Jing with magical powers to perform the Liujia method. He also required 7,777 people to set up the Liuding Liujia formation, and then organized 7,777 people to go out of the city to fight against the Jin soldiers. As a result, the formation was broken with one poke, and Guo Jing was killed.

He Li scared everyone so much that they became dumbfounded
He Li decided to leave the city for peace talks. He Li reached an agreement with the Jin people, ceding the entire north of Henan to the Jin Kingdom, paying a large amount of gold and silver as compensation to the Jin Kingdom in exchange for peace, and at the same time calling the Jin Kingdom the father country.

The Kingdom of Jin stated that it wanted Song Huizong to come to the Jin camp in person for negotiations.

The filial son Song Qinzong decided to replace Song Huizong to negotiate, and he indeed went to the Jin camp.

Song Qinzong successfully negotiated with the Jin army, and various war compensations were agreed upon. The Jin army let Song Qinzong return to the city. Song Qinzong was deeply moved and felt that the Jin army was sincere and wanted to negotiate, so in order to express his sincerity, he opened all the city gates and took the initiative to let the Jin army enter the city.

The good news is that the Song Dynasty and the Jin soldiers spent a pleasant 16 days in Kaifeng City. He Li felt that the negotiations were a great success, the Song Dynasty was saved, and he was a hero who rebuilt the world. So he held banquets every day to publicize his achievements.

The bad news is that the treasury of the Song Dynasty could not pay the 2.3 million strings of cash as promised by Emperor Qinzong of Song, because the treasury had been emptied as early as the first siege, and the current indemnity was ten times that of the first time. The treasury had no hope at all. Emperor Qinzong of Song tried to let the royal family and nobles pay the money to make up the indemnity and send the Jin soldiers away.

The worse news is that the royal family and nobles don't want to give money.

Stupid news. Song Qinzong ordered He Li to negotiate with the Jin soldiers again to discuss whether they could pay less compensation, probably about one tenth of the original compensation, which is 2300 million strings of cash.

The last news was that the Jin people were furious, accusing the Song Dynasty of breaking its promise and repeatedly playing tricks on the Jin Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty did not want to give, they would rob it themselves. So they directly kidnapped the royal family of the Song Dynasty and all the nobles and ministers, confiscated all their homes, and obtained nearly 20 billion strings of wealth in one go. Then they returned to Xijing with nearly people including the royal family, nobles, beauties, and craftsmen of the Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

Although these are stories clearly recorded in history books, when Liu Xu wrote them again, he found them incredible. Because in this whole process, if the Song Dynasty made a mistake, it would be impossible for the country to perish, because unless the Jin Dynasty was given another ten years, they would have no chance of breaking through Kaifeng.

As a result, every step of the Song Dynasty was on the right track, and it was completely destroyed bit by bit.

Later generations often say how cruel and untrustworthy the Jin Dynasty was, and how they wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty even though they had agreed to peace talks. But in fact, if you look at the entire historical data, you will find that the Jin Dynasty was actually the one that was truly pure and kind, because they were the one who was deceived.

The reason why Jin launched the second attack within a year was that Song had just signed a contract with Jin and immediately sent people to contact the old nobles of Liao, expressing their support for their rebellion against Jin. Then the Liao people handed the letter directly to Jin. Jin was furious and used this as an excuse to send troops south for the second time.

Later, the Jin Kingdom was sincere in its peace talks, because it did not actually want to rule over areas such as Henan, because ruling required administrative costs, and the Jin Kingdom simply did not have such administrative capabilities. It was already remarkable that they could rule out their own little piece of land.

The evidence is that after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, their first choice was not to directly occupy this land, but to establish a state called Qi in the north. The emperor of Qi was the original prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and the main task of Qi was to collect the fat of the people in the north for the Jin Dynasty and then give it to the Jin Dynasty for its enjoyment.

But Qi State collected less than 500 million guan of wealth after a year of extortion, which was far less efficient than extorting 2.3 million guan directly from Song Dynasty. After all, Song Dynasty was still the orthodox dynasty recognized by the people, while Qi State was just a joke.

So the Jin Kingdom did not actually want to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, but instead planned to march south every few years and extort hundreds of millions of strings of wealth each time. Isn't this much more than what they could earn by ruling the area themselves?
After all, the Northern Song Dynasty still controlled the South at that time. The South was a rich place with a steady stream of wealth to pay protection fees.

As a result, the Song Dynasty had clearly agreed on 2.3 million strings of cash, but after all the effort was unwilling to pay. The people of the Jin Dynasty once again felt that they were being fooled, so they destroyed the entire Northern Song Dynasty in anger... So to be honest, if the Song Dynasty had missed one of the above steps, it would not have perished... at least not within ten years, and then it perished miraculously.

On the other hand, while Liu Xu was spitting at the Song Dynasty, he was also enjoying the power of the twenty-fifth level of the world brought by a large number of climaxes. Just as Liu Xu had expected, all the readers were almost driven crazy by the way the Song Dynasty was destroyed!
