Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 144 King of Han!

Around the high platform, all the soldiers of the three armies bowed to the figure on the high platform and paid homage.

Han Shizhong stood up, exchanged vague glances with Liang Zhe next to him, and then stepped onto the high platform. Liu Ling looked at him, and Han Shizhong suddenly felt guilty.

He calmed down, bowed to Liu Ling and saluted, then turned and looked below the high platform.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Many generals on the field immediately turned around, as if they had expected it, and without hesitation asked the soldiers behind them to be quiet.

Yelu Dashi silently glanced at Han Shizhong on the high platform, turned to his troops and said, "Quiet."

In an instant, everyone inside and outside the stadium fell silent. Even those who had not heard the news in advance should have smelled it by now.

Liu Ling slowly sat down on the Grand Master's chair and did not move or speak.

"Everyone, this general is Han Shizhong, the governor of the Yongqing Army. But before, I was also the commander-in-chief of the Zhenyuan Army, and we are all brothers!

It has been three years now. Liu Gong led us to fight for three years. The huge land of Yanyun was originally so dilapidated. Now, many of us have been promoted to high positions, some have obtained land, and the worst Yes, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Tell me, who is responsible for this! "

Around the high platform, bursts of cheers immediately erupted.

"Mr. Liu!"

"It's Marshal Liu!"

Han Shizhong clenched his fist and waved it, shouting: "Whose food do you eat and whose salary do you get?"

"Mr. Liu!"

On the high platform, in addition to Liu Ling, there were also envoys from the Song, Xia and Jin Kingdoms standing aside. They originally thought that today was just a "military parade". God knew it would cause such a scene. At this moment, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked at the man who always had a look on his face. Calm man.

Han Shizhong met the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and shouted again: "The commander-in-chief is our leader. We are both prosperous and devastated. Today we broke through the grassland and made a triumphant return. This is the result of the bloody battle of all the soldiers. But if Liu Gong did not lead us, If we unite together, how can we be where we are today!"

"The Liao Kingdom is dead! Yanyun and Yinshan are not the homeland of the Liao Kingdom, they are not the lost land of the Song Kingdom, and they are not vassals of the Jin Kingdom. They are our hometown! Therefore, I, Han Shizhong, today lead the eight thousand soldiers of the Yongqing Army."

Han Shizhong pulled out his saber, inserted it into the ground of the high platform with his backhand, knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Ling, clasped his fists and said loudly:

"At the end of the day, if you are brave enough, please invite Duke Liu to proclaim him the King of Han!"

Outside the high platform, the generals under the Yongqing Army heard the shouts and immediately began to pass orders. At the same time, they also drew their swords and stuck them on the ground, and knelt down on one knee facing the high platform with clasped fists.

"Please Duke Liu be crowned king!"

Amidst the roaring sound like a tsunami, Liang Zhe stepped forward and shouted:

"The last general, Liang Zhe, is here with eight thousand victorious troops. I dare to ask Liu Gong to proclaim himself the King of Han!"

After Liang Zhe shouted, he also knelt down on one knee.

The Zhenyuan Army did not need to give orders at all. When the other two "brotherly armies" roared with excitement, all the senior generals of the Zhenyuan Army took the lead and walked out of the queue. They led the troops to kneel on one knee in front of the high platform and shouted "King!"

The wind blew slowly by, and countless flags were flying amidst the roars of the soldiers of the three armies.

Liu Ling glanced at the countless soldiers around the high platform. He did not stand up to respond or refuse. It was more like he was slowly thinking about it.

Jin Shi Wang Ah Hai had a bitter look on his face. He began to feel that nothing good had ever happened to him since he met Marshal Liu.

"Be king."

Liu Ling finally spoke up.

Han Shizhong was half kneeling on the ground, without daring to raise his head. Hearing Liu Ling's voice, his body trembled slightly, but the next moment, he still shouted loudly: "Please call Mr. Liu the King of Han!"

"hehe."

Liu Ling chuckled, and everywhere he looked, there were his troops and his banners.

He still didn't respond immediately.

If you accept the kingship of the Song Kingdom, you will definitely become the enemy of the Jin Kingdom. If you accept the kingship of the Jin Kingdom, the Song people will be weaned.

If you proclaim yourself king, you may offend both parties, or you may offend both parties.

Liu Ling patted the armrest of the seat gently, looked away, then looked at the envoy of the Three Kingdoms, and said:

"Xia Guo, do you have any opinions?"

The Xia envoy shuddered and bowed to Liu Ling.

"The Empress Dowager Yelu of our country is willing to swear an oath with the king for good things from generation to generation!"

Liu Ling leaned back on the chair, looked away from him, and said lazily: "Song Guo, do you have any opinions?"

The envoy from the Song Dynasty hesitated for a while, quickly analyzing the interests in his mind, and then sighed softly and said: "After returning to the country, I will report it to the officials on my behalf."

"You, Songren, have any objections?"

".No."

Liu Ling looked at the Jin man. Before he could speak, Wang Ahai took a step forward and said coldly: "Da Jin has no reason to agree!"

"hehe."

Liu Ling was still sitting, raising his hand and pointing around the high platform.

"Look at them and tell me, does Jin Guo have any objections?"

The number of soldiers under Liu Ling's command alone has exceeded 60,000, and they are constantly taking down the defeated soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. The Song Kingdom's 30,000 Imperial Army and 4,000 Western Army are all on standby in the clouds. army, but their command rests with Liu Ling.

Li Liangfu of Xia State led 20,000 Xia troops to garrison north of Yunzhong, and he also respected Liu Ling's orders. If we want to fight, the three parties' troops and horses will be expanded again, and with the addition of auxiliary soldiers and civilians, we can also display the banner of an army of 300,000 to the outside world.

If the current Liu Ling fights against the Jin Kingdom with all his strength, the probability of defeat is still very high, but there is also a greater probability that the Jin Kingdom will be completely defeated after this battle, and the Jin Kingdom may still be able to survive. But within a few decades, there will definitely be no power to move south.

Wang Ahai's face turned red and white. He knew that even if he objected today, it would not stop Liu Ling from becoming king. Instead, it would very likely lead to unnecessary war.

The Kingdom of Jin needs time to recuperate.

After hesitating for a moment, he bowed to Liu Ling and saluted.

"I, Dajin, have no objection."

The envoys from the Three Kingdoms all bowed their heads.

There was a constant flow of voices from the high platform, and soldiers from the distant camp kept pouring out. After knowing the general situation, they also joined the shouting queue.

And next, what made Wang Ahai unexpected was that the married Princess Wan Yanquan of Liang State stepped onto the high platform wearing Han Chinese attire. In her hand, she held a royal robe. The style was close to that of the Song Dynasty, but it was made by craftsmen from Yan. Made some slight changes.

The royal uniform is all black, with only the outer robe. It would be very troublesome to put on the whole suit. Anyway, the soldiers underneath only need to know what he is wearing today.

Behind Wan Yanquan were two generals of the Zhenyuan Army, both of whom were named Yelu. They were generals who had followed Liu Ling since the beginning of the Ever Victorious Army. They were holding crowns and swords in their hands.

Wan Yanquan presented the royal robe with both hands. She didn't look at Wang Ahai who was staring at her. She always stayed on her husband and said loudly:

"Please, Your Majesty, wear royal clothes!"

Liu Ling stood up, and the noise under the high platform gradually subsided, but if you look carefully, the eyes of every soldier below were almost as fanatical as to burn.

Divine right of kings.

Sometimes it is not the monarch who forces his subjects with a whip and tells them over and over again that his power comes from heaven.

It is about one person leading countless people to live and live better; from the days when everyone shared a meal, to now, everyone can have a full meal every day without starving to death. At least everyone is no longer like a pig. Live like a dog.

Hunger, disease, and war disasters still existed, but at least many people survived.

Without Liu Zijingqi, countless people would have died every day in the past three years.

The decline and even extinction of Guozuo of the Liao Kingdom would have meant that most of the subjects and soldiers of the Liao Kingdom would become slaves of the Jin people.

This is what the Jin people did originally, but due to rebellion and food shortages, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom issued formal orders several times in a row, allowing the people to redeem slaves and relax the treatment of surrender. If they had the energy to spare, they would definitely continue to enslave more people. Liao people.

When they went south, more than a million civilians were forced to migrate between Yan and Yun, and the entire Yan region was devastated. However, under Liu Ling's order, although the army continued to fight with him outside, the Yan region was Able to recuperate and recuperate.

The senior officials of the Song and Jin Dynasties all knew that it was the Song Dynasty who had been providing milk for Liu Ling, but the people only thought that it was Liu Ling who did his best to forcefully make the land of Yan rejuvenate.

In the hearts of the Yan people, they had long enshrined Liu Ling on the altar.

In other words, he is not just a god, he is the heaven of Yan Earth!

Facing the gazes of countless people, Liu Ling slowly shook off the black royal robe and put it on.

The two generals knelt down in front of him and presented what they had in their hands.

Liu Ling picked up the sword and tied it around his waist slowly.

Then came the crown, which he held in both hands. Wan Yanquan had learned how to help put it on in advance and helped him put on the crown from behind.

Liu Ling simply put it on, and a moment later, he stood on a high platform in a black royal robe, overlooking the thousands of silent troops and horses around him. The sound of the wind slowly subsided in front of the high platform, and countless flags gradually fell.

The clouds and mist in the sky dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and the warm sunshine shone everywhere.

Liu Ling glanced at Han Shizhong and the other two Zhenyuan Army generals who were still half-kneeling in front of him, and gestured. Wanyanquan understood and walked over to help the three of them.

"Good minister."

"The general is here." Han Shizhong lowered his head, but couldn't help but look at the black royal robe.

"What did you say?"

"The last general. The last general, on behalf of the entire army, please be bold and ask Mr. Liu to be crowned King of Han!"

Liu Ling nodded slightly and said calmly: "Gu, that's right."

In the camp, Cai Jing was not present. He sat at the camp gate and drank bitter tea slowly, listening to the cheers from the distance. He didn't know whether the bitter taste in his mouth was due to his mood or the taste of the tea.

"This day will really come." He didn't know how he should feel.

He was once willing to take the initiative to request a prince from the Song Dynasty court for Liu Ling. Now it seems that this guy was not laughing at him at that time.

From his perspective as a Song Dynasty person, Liu Ling was tantamount to provoking.

Cai Jing should have shown anger.

However, Cai Jing discovered with some horror that he actually still had a lot of joy in his heart.

Wanyan's mother sat next to him, her expression became more and more indifferent, and she said softly:

"Thousands of years from now, no one will clearly remember our words and deeds. No one knows how what happened today, let alone what is on my mind. But today, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yanyun know it in their hearts. There is a black royal robe that holds up the sky above their heads."
