Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 242 Swallowing the Song Dynasty (3)

After Xu Da and Dao Yan discussed it, they finally sent Xin Qiji, who was most familiar with the situation of the Song Empire, to go north to guard the north of the Song Dynasty!
After the Ming Empire moved north, according to Zhu Qi's instructions, all the forces of the Martial Arts League in the Song Dynasty will be gradually transferred to the Ming Empire!
Dao Yan had no objection to Xin Qiji going north!

As the elder of Daye Pavilion, Dao Yan's interests are consistent with those of the Ming Empire, so Dao Yan has no dissatisfaction!
Xin Qiji went north, and the two most powerful military forces remaining in the territory of the Song Dynasty; the armies under Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing, and the three armies of the Song Empire who were attacking the three were divided into two groups by Xu Da!

These two armies have been fighting for several years, and their combat strength is not weak. And unlike the Forbidden Army and Xiang Army stationed locally, it is not easy to integrate them into the empire's army!Therefore, Xu Da simply organized them into two groups and prepared to send them to the border of Xixia to contribute to the attack on Xixia!

The armies of the Ming Empire marched north and captured the territory of the Song Dynasty effortlessly.

Xu Da knew in his heart that as long as the situation in the Song Dynasty slowed down a little, Zhu Qi would definitely launch an attack on the Xixia Empire!
Zhu Qi's ambition for the Xixia Empire was naked and not covered up at all!
These two groups of troops are the first wave of reinforcements prepared by Xu Da to support the empire in its expedition to the Xixia Empire!
In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, dozens of armies from the empire were crisscrossing the territory, and with the support and guidance of the Martial Arts Alliance, the cities in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty were taken over very quickly!

December [-], the tenth year of Xiaokang.

Emperor Xiaokang Zhu Biao, under the escort of Xinguo Gong Tang He, finally rushed outside the capital of the Song Dynasty before the New Year!
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty led his civil and military officials to kneel outside the city and surrender to Emperor Xiaokang!
Emperor Xiaokang Zhu Biao came to the Song Dynasty Empire, which represented the righteousness of the court and the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty!Therefore, Emperor Xiaokang would never and could not come quietly like Zhu Qi!

In fact, before Emperor Xiaokang entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, the news that Emperor Ming Ming came in person spread throughout the Song Dynasty!As for the Ming Empire's encroachment on the Song Empire, Zhu Qi actually had no intention of hiding it from the Song Dynasty; he was hiding from the front, but the Song Dynasty's border army was not yet stable, and Zhu Qi did not want to cause more twists and turns!
Of course, Zhu Qi just doesn't want to cause trouble!
With Zhu Qi in charge of the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, no matter how big the storm was, Zhu Qi could suppress it, regardless of the royal family, civil and military officials, the Jianghu, or the people of the Song Dynasty!What's more, the current imperial army, under the unified command of Xu Da, has swallowed up half of the cities in the Song Dynasty!

The overall situation of the Song Empire was decided the moment the Emperor of the Song Dynasty bowed his head!

Emperor Xiaokang, who knew Xiaoyaozi's true identity, did not embarrass the Song royal family who surrendered.

At the surrender ceremony, Emperor Xiaokang personally consecrated the Emperor of the Song Dynasty as the Duke of the Song Dynasty of the Ming Empire, and actually granted him a county!
Emperor Xiaokang's generosity made everyone in the Song Empire breathe a sigh of relief!
Although the Song Empire did not break out a war with the Ming Empire, the actual situation is that the Song Empire was destroyed!

No one from the royal family died when the country was destroyed. This is definitely a miracle!Throughout the history of China mainland, it is unique!

In the history of the Chinese continent, it is true that there are no countries that have surrendered their whole country, but there has never been an empire that surrendered without a battle; and there is no one like Emperor Xiaokang who dared to grant a county to the royal family who destroyed the country!

Emperor Xiaokang's kindness also reassured everyone in the Song Dynasty!

The killings that Zhu Qi caused a few days ago really frightened all the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty!As long as Emperor Xiaokang doesn't make a big move, it's great news.

After the surrender ceremony!The royal family of Zhao and Song were packed up by Emperor Xiaokang and handed over to Duke Xin, who led an army of [-] to move to the Ming Empire.

Although Emperor Xiaokang took into account Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin), a land god, he would not massacre the Zhao and Song royal family!However, Emperor Xiaokang had no shortage of necessary means.

For the Zhao and Song royal family to remain within the territory of the Song Dynasty would be harmful to the future rule of the Ming Empire.Regardless of whether the Zhao Song royal family wanted it or not, Emperor Xiaokang would never leave it within the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The Imperial Palace of the Song Dynasty.

After dealing with the ownership of the Zhao and Song royal families and appeasing the civil and military officials, Emperor Xiaokang had time to meet Zhu Qi!
While circling Zhu Qi, Emperor Xiaokang praised him: "Ninth brother, your method is really amazing, it catches people off guard!"

Zhu Qi touched his nose and smiled: "I didn't expect to win the Song Empire so smoothly!"

Emperor Xiaokang nodded and said: "It is indeed unexpected! Ninth brother, since the ancient human emperors, the feat of one person destroying an entire country has been recorded in history books; but the one who took down an entire empire without weapons is the ninth brother. No.1."

Zhu Qi was familiar with history books and naturally knew that what Emperor Xiaokang said was true.

The mainland of China has been filled with queens, empires, and heroes since ancient times.Although it is true that some heroes and martial arts masters have accomplished the feat of destroying an entire country by one person, this is the first such example of him being as light-hearted as Zhu Qi!
Zhu Qi: "Brother Emperor, this time the empire swallowed up the Song Dynasty. It was backed by the imperial army outside and supported by the martial arts alliance inside! In addition, the royal family of the Song Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time and had no bloodiness. This time it went so smoothly! If it were another empire I’m afraid that will never be the case!”

Emperor Xiaokang: "Yes! The Song Empire won the country unfairly, so the Zhao family was extremely wary of generals! With strong culture and weak military, the entire empire also lost its blood! Hehe! A great empire will raise its flag when it encounters setbacks. Surrender and lose all your blood!"

Emperor Xiaokang was lamenting the Song Empire, and he was also lamenting the Ming Empire!
Before Zhu Qi and Emperor Hongwu were promoted to land gods, the situation in the Ming Empire was really on thin ice!Even so, the Ming Empire managed to survive!
Although the situation of the Song Empire is not good, if it were the Ming Empire!Neither the royal family nor the court would surrender so simply!The men of the Ming Empire are not short of energy!
Zhu Qi: "Haha! Brother Huang is right! It is precisely because of this that the empire can swallow up the territory of the Song Dynasty so easily!" Zhu Qi sighed, and then said: "Brother Emperor, these officials of the Song Dynasty Empire are still Use with caution!"

Emperor Xiaokang understood what he said: "These officials in the Song Dynasty have no practical talents. I will arrange for them to go to the local area for training later!" After saying this, Emperor Xiaokang's eyes flashed fiercely: "Our Ming Empire is not the Song Empire. The empire’s sword can still chop off their heads!”

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Brother Huang is going to go on a killing spree this time too!"

Emperor Xiaokang: "It cannot be destroyed or established! Laojiu, although you have purged the court before, it is not that easy to completely integrate the Song Dynasty territory into the Ming Empire! Without killing a group of people, the Song Dynasty territory will not be completely annexed. !”

Zhu Qi nodded with concern!

The Martial Arts League was founded in the Song Empire, and Zhu Qi was no stranger to the situation of officials in the Song Empire!

If we go by the standards of officials from the Ming Empire, I am afraid that [-]% of the officials from the Song Empire would have their heads chopped off!Most of the remaining [-]% will have their official status removed and will never be hired!
Zhu Qi dare not say whether the officialdom of the Ming Empire will degenerate in the future!But at least the officials of the current Ming Empire are pragmatic and efficient; although there are also officials who are corrupt, there is no such collusion with each other and forming parties for personal gain in the Song Empire!
