The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

The scene in the inner city of Huining Mansion surprised Gao Chong.

Except for a few dogs barking.

Where is the slightest hint of resistance?
In areas far away from the imperial city, every household has its doors closed, but the closer you are to the imperial city, the weirder the painting style becomes.

A house as big as Zongwang Mansion, instead of closing the door, there were servants standing neatly outside the house, each holding pots and pans in their hands. From a distance, they thought they were begging along the street, but when they got closer, they realized , there are things in these pots and pans.

Most of them are filled with rice, flour, grains and oils, while others are filled with smooth and shiny sable fur, wild ginseng as thick as a radish, and some are even filled with silver.

It’s called: Reward the Army!
It is said that it is a reward for the army, but in fact it is just spending a small amount of money to avoid major disasters.

Thinking about these Jurchen nobles and the ministers of the old Liao Dynasty who paid the money, the Eastern and Western armies were defeated at the gate of Kaifeng City. Now the Song Army is crossing all directions to attack Huanglong. There is no doubt about the Song Army's combat power. Why did they come all the way? ?
The Jurchen nobles praised themselves and others: If they don’t kill people, is it just for sightseeing?

The ministers of Liao who surrendered the money drew inferences: If they were not plundering, could it be that they were here to celebrate Wanyan Sheng's birthday?
But what they never expected was that although these Song troops who rushed into the inner city were armed with knives, shields, and bows and crossbows, and they all looked menacing, no one reached out to take these things. At most, they just came up to take a look, then yelled at them to go back to the house and not go out.

The Jurchen nobles and the family members of the Liao ministers in the courtyard felt that the sky was about to fall. Some people cried loudly: "They don't like this thing. They want to eat us up."

Gao Chong and Zhang Jun were walking along the way and saw the Song troops who were already heavily guarded at ten steps and one post on both sides of the main road. Zhang Jun took the opportunity to ask Gao Chong for credit again, hoping that he would be able to say these words to Zhao Fujin's ears in the future: "Gao Chong The general also saw that I, Zhang Jun, have always been rigorous in running the army, especially in executing the imperial edicts of the official family, which is meticulous."

What leader doesn't like subordinates who can thoroughly implement their own ideas and conscientiously implement their own policies?
But Gao Chong didn't understand what he meant at all. He pointed at the Song soldiers who stood upright and solemnly and asked, "Is Zhang Tongzhi talking about the military appearance of these people?"

Along the way, Zhang Jun had long been accustomed to Gao Chong's hindsight, so he simply said bluntly: "The officials paid attention to it when they killed Fan Qiong. I had not yet taken charge of the army at that time, but..."

Zhang Jun paused and continued: "After taking charge of the army, I still dare not forget the teachings of the officials. In addition to military training, I also require the generals and soldiers under my command to remember what the officials say. In their hearts, these soldiers will never touch the Jin people's needles and threads."

"Oh! Stupid! Get some black mink skins for the officials, they will definitely be happy!"

Zhang Jun:...? ? ?
Zhang Jun stopped and thought for a long time: "You guys, go knock on the door and get some strips of the sable fur just now. Make sure it's in good quality."

"Zhang Tongzhi, do you want some money?"

Zhang Jun glared at the soldier: "Of course I have to give it, on credit first!"

……

……

Outside the Mingde Hall, no matter how Wanyan Zongwang expressed his loyalty and explained that he was not trying to kill the king to seize the throne, but just wanted to kill a few treacherous ministers who gave Wanyan Sheng random ideas, the gate of the Mingde Hall still refused. Open.

"Your Majesty! Just come out. The Song army is not coming to destroy the country this time, but they just want to negotiate peace."

"Stop lying to Your Majesty about peace talks? How can anyone come to peace talks with [-] troops and weapons?" Jeluhua was trembling a little, but pretending to be calm, his voice came from the palace.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious when he heard this: "Jeluhua, are you dragging His Majesty to be buried with you?"

Before there was another echo in the palace, Gao Chong's joking voice came from behind: "Is the second prince being rejected?"

Wanyan Zongwang turned around and glared at Gao Chong: "I have already made an agreement with the officials of the Song Dynasty. Please stop causing trouble. We will handle the affairs of the Jin Kingdom ourselves!"

Gao Chong shrugged: "Second Prince, it's up to you. I just want to watch the excitement."

Wanyan Zongwang stopped paying attention to him and turned his head to attack him both softly and hardly, but there was no response from Mingde Hall.After half an hour, Zhang Jun and Cao Yanchang also arrived, but they still couldn't open the door.

Cao Yanchang spat and strode forward: "How can there be such a reason to close the door and refuse guests? If I count to three, if you don't open the door, I will blast your Mingde Palace with one shot!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

Creaking, the door of Mingde Hall finally opened slowly.

Everyone looked up and saw Wanyan Sheng, seven or eight Jin Kingdom officials, and Wanyan Zongpan, who had just been bombarded by Dongfeng with a disgraced face and whose ears were still ringing, all kneeling in the hall.

Wanyan Sheng held the Great Gold Seal in both hands and said tremblingly: "The Great Gold is willing to surrender!"

Everyone outside the palace was stunned. Gao Chong and the other three looked at each other. They were not here to destroy the country.

Wanyan Zongwang quickly entered the palace and knelt down: "Your Majesty, there is no need to surrender, there is no need to surrender, they are here for peace talks."

Gao Chong and others then entered the palace, pointed at the seven or eight Jin Kingdom officials and said, "Get up, we Song people don't like to kneel down."

Yeluhua was the first to stand up and approached Gao Chong with a flattering look on his face: "General, it's not that he didn't open the door. I was just teaching our majesty to accept the surrender ceremony. We all know that the Song Dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette and cannot neglect it."

Then he smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, hehehe."

Gao Chong glanced at Jelvhua and saw that the man had a sly look on his face and didn't like him very much, so he ignored him and strode up to Wanyan Sheng, picked him up, pulled him back to the dragon chair, and pressed He stood down and said, "His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor, please sit down."

After saying that, Gao Chong turned around and walked down the imperial steps, returned to the palace, bowed to Zhang Jun and Cao Yanchang and saluted: "Gao Chong, the brave golden-armored general of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun, the commander of the Qingshuo army of the Song Dynasty, and Cao Yanchang, the commander of the navy of the capital of the Song Dynasty. More than His Majesty the Golden Emperor!"

Wanyan Sheng was still trembling. When he saw that he was being greeted in a polite manner, he could only try to pretend to be calm and raised his head: "Pingshen, Pingshen."

After the three of them straightened up, Gao Chong glanced at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "Second Prince, our officials have said that the three of us will go to Dajin as envoys according to the protocol, but you should tell Emperor Dajin about the specific matters."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, then he knelt down to Wanyan Sheng and said, "Your Majesty, the three conditions are still the same. Please make your decision!"

Wanyan Sheng could still say a lot at this time, his head nodding like a kowtowing insect: "Accurate! It's all accurate!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wanyan Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and seemed to think of something else: "By the way, there are also the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. I will draft a letter of credence now and return it to the Song Dynasty."

Speaking of the credential, Gao Chong remembered a small matter that the official had told him: "By the way, Your Majesty, our official family has a small matter. We want to get back the letter that Emperor Daojun wrote to Emperor Taizu of Jin Dynasty. Our official family My family has said that family scandals should not be made public."

Wanyan Sheng was stunned, turned to Yeluhua beside him and said, "Go quickly, look for it quickly, and bring it to the generals."

Just as Yeluhua was about to leave, he was stopped by Wanyan Zongwang: "If you had gone to someone else, you wouldn't be able to leave today!" (End of Chapter)
