Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 667 Next Target

Seeing that this woman finally surrendered, Zhao Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhao Mu said, "That's right! If you want to live, you should have the attitude to live. Well, I'm tired today, I wonder if the Queen is willing to help me go to bed?"

Facing Zhao Mu's request, Empress Xiao was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "I am now over forty years old. If Your Majesty wants a royal family girl or a concubine to accompany me, the others in Your Majesty's harem are all young and beautiful. Why don't You summon them?"

Zhao Mu sneered, "Haha, they are not in a hurry. I will have plenty of time to ravage them in the future. I have already discussed with Your Majesty that after the city is captured, all the women of the Liao royal family, the children of high-ranking officials, and their wives and concubines will belong to me. Let the Queen come to sleep with me today, and I will replace her with the Imperial Concubine and the Princess tomorrow. Anyway, our army will occupy Shangdu and stay there for a few days."

Seeing Zhao Mu's sneer, Empress Xiao couldn't help but shudder. She didn't know what else the Song army would do in this city. But this was not something she could control.

Now that the Liao Dynasty has fallen, everyone has become a prisoner. All they can do is to save their lives and wealth as much as possible.

Seeing Empress Xiao's thoughtful look, Zhao Mu, who was sitting on the dragon bed, slowly leaned over and stretched out his hand to her. He said, "Come on! Let me see what it's like to be the queen of Liao."

When Empress Xiao saw Zhao Mu's appearance, she endured the humiliation in her heart, then crawled step by step to Zhao Mu's front, and finally put her face in his hanging hands.

Seeing the Queen of Liao crawling towards him little by little, Zhao Mu laughed even more wantonly. He liked this feeling of conquest, and liked seeing these women who were once high and mighty crawling at his feet.

However, seeing this scene, Zhao Mu also remembered another thing. Since the Liao Kingdom had been destroyed, his next and last target in terms of territory was the Jurchen tribe.

If he could play with the Queen of Liao so brazenly now, then in the original time and space, the Jurchens would definitely play with the concubines of the Song Dynasty even more excessively.

The original reality has changed, and Zhao Mu can't change anything. But in this time and space, he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

After all, the fighting power displayed by the Jurchen tribe this time really exceeded Zhao Mu's expectations.

Originally, Zhao Mu thought that the statement "If there are less than ten thousand Jurchens, they are invincible if there are ten thousand" was nothing more than a bunch of nonsense made by scholars to justify their failure.

But when he was in Youzhou, he read the battle report sent by General Yang, which clearly recorded the strength of the Jin and Yan armies.

General Yang's evaluation of Murong Fu's Yan army was "cowardly". Apart from the several thousand guards under Murong Fu, the rest of the army was basically a bunch of bandits and paper tigers made up of defeated soldiers. It was fine for maintaining local law and order and occupying cities. But if they were to fight head-on, they would not collapse at the first blow, but they would not be that strong either.

However, General Yang had a very high opinion of the Jin army. In the early stage of the battle, the Jurchens showed amazing fighting power. The 50,000 Liao army stationed on the eastern front were directly chased and beaten by more than 10,000 Jin soldiers, and the Liao army had no power to fight back. Moreover, every soldier of the Jin army was very good at fighting. General Yang also said that the soldiers of the Jin army, whether fighting alone or in combination, were equivalent to three or four soldiers of the Song army.

Zhao Mu did not object to General Yang's comments. This was because these Jurchens had all survived in the harsh environment of the deep mountains and old forests. The general Song army under his command were just a group of farmers. Naturally, they could not be compared with these barbarians.

However, not all Song soldiers were inferior to the Jin people.

At least the newly formed imperial guards of the Song Dynasty can also achieve such combat effectiveness. The same is true for the battle-hardened Qi army under Zhao Mu. However, after seeing the brutality of the Jin people, General Yang also raised his concerns in the battle report, that is, this newly rising foreign regime may one day become a strong enemy of the Song Dynasty. After all, compared with these dangerous guys, the Khitans seem much more docile.

However, Zhao Mu replied to General Yang, telling him not to worry. As long as he was there, no force in the world could rival the Song Dynasty.

After occupying Zhongdu and ending the final battle, the Song army soldiers followed the surrendered Khitan officials to take over other prefectures and counties.

This is also what Murong Fu requested. Murong Fu asked Zhao Mu's Song army not to retreat for the time being, but to temporarily station troops in his "Yan State". Because Murong Fu now has few soldiers and generals, and the people's hearts have not been won back. If he loses the support of the Song army, it will be difficult for him to control the land that Zhao Mu has allocated to him. Therefore, he needs some time to digest the results of the war, and digesting the results of the war requires manpower. He can only rely on the troops of the Song Dynasty.

However, Murong Fu was very sensible. When he occupied the first small town and officially announced his accession to the throne, he immediately sent a letter of acknowledgment to the Song Dynasty. He also promised to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year and pay homage to it every year.

In addition to the Great Song, he also sent a letter to Lingzhou. First, to inform Wang Yuyan of his successful restoration of the Great Yan Kingdom, and second, to confer Wang Yuyan the title of "Princess" of the Great Yan Kingdom. Third, to ask his cousin, Azhu, and Abi to serve Zhao Mu well, and to lay the foundation for the consolidation of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The happiest person now is Murong Fu. The long-cherished wish of the Murong family for generations has finally come true in his hands. If it weren't for the ancestral system, he would even want to enshrine Zhao Mu in his ancestral temple. The moment he ascended the throne, Murong Fu felt that all his previous investments were worth it. Not to mention giving Wang Yuyan and two maids, if his mother was still alive, it would be okay to give her to Zhao Mu.

Wang Jin swept away the Khitan nobles and troops who still refused to surrender. General Yang went to the "Li Ling Monument" where Yang Jiye, the ancestor of the Yang family, died for his country. He planned to dig up the Li Ling monument and enshrine it in the ancestral hall of the Yang family.

Zhao Mu was having an affair with Empress Xiao of Liao, and was favoring this childless second-generation queen mother of Liao on behalf of Yelu Hongji, feeling the queen's "motherly rule of the country".

The Song army was also celebrating their victory.

And Murong Fu improved his small court as quickly as possible.

The Jin people continued to collect money. Almost all the tombs of Liao nobles in their territory were dug up by Wanyan Sheng. Except for the tomb of Empress Dowager Xiao, which required Zhao Mu to come in person, all the others, regardless of their official positions during their lifetime, as long as they had a little fame and wealth, were dug up by Wanyan Sheng.

Although this move aroused the hatred of the Liao people in the territory, the Jin people did not care about the opinions of these slaves. After all, they could not even protect their own women, let alone the ancestral tombs of the Liao nobles. This move also made the treasury of the newly born "Great Jin Kingdom" full at the fastest speed.

The Song Dynasty also began to celebrate this complete victory. The city of Bianjing was celebrating, and Zhezong went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in person. Even after Zhao Mu and others returned to the court, he would grant amnesty to the whole country and celebrate together. Then he went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods.

Moreover, Zhezong had prepared all the rewards for everyone. Zhao Mu already had no more titles to offer, and the wives and wealth of the Liao royal family and nobles were all given to him, so there was nothing left for him to do.

The main recipients of titles this time were General Yang, King Zhongxiao and other military generals.

Zhezong planned to confer the title of King of Loyalty on General Yang. All the generals who participated in the battle were rewarded with titles. Among them, Wang Jin and Wang Xian had the highest title, both of which were dukes.

Just waiting for Zhao Mu and others to return to the capital.
