The struggle of the reborn prince

Wanyan Quan has been a shopkeeper for many years, and now he is suddenly forced to change his mind and start a new life. It is really uncomfortable, especially for those trivial matters. The emperor himself is the magistrate's heart, but who told him to control the country? It's almost defeated, and there is only so little land left for him to manage!

Because of the Kuoli incident, the soldiers and civilians in the city complained a lot, and they went to the palace to petition. Seeing that a civil uprising was about to happen, Wanyan Quan had no choice but to deal with it himself, beheading the two small officials who caused the incident, and then dismissed him. The household officials who presided over this matter immediately stopped enlarging, opened the granary, and helped the victims, and then stopped the spread of this terrible phenomenon in time. But if we knew this before, why bother to enclose it?

But before Wanyan Quan could catch his breath, he received a report that the Song army had already begun to besiege the city and built camps, as if preparing for a long-term siege.According to the report of the spies, the grain, grass, and supplies in the Song army camp were piled up like a mountain. Before the arrival of the cold winter, all the winter clothes needed had been distributed to the soldiers.Wanyan Quan felt dizzy when he heard this. They wanted to wait for the cold winter to come, and the Song army would have a chance to counterattack due to the difficulty in transporting grain and grass. After preparing for the long-term persistence, if he wanted to trap them in the city, then his plan would eventually come to nothing, which made him once again have the idea of ​​abandoning the city and fleeing.Sitting in the city waiting to die, he could only wait for the Song people to help him collect his body and bring his head back to the Central Plains as a trophy.And it was because Zhao Er escaped from Bianjing before the Jin Kingdom went south for the second time, went to his own base and led the army back to the Central Plains that the Southern Dynasty was able to rejuvenate, so he can follow suit.After leaving the city, he summoned the scattered clansmen and old ministries from various places to wait for the opportunity to recover the old land and rebuild the Dajin Kingdom.

When Wan Yanquan convened all the officials and proposed the idea of ​​driving out to join the army, he was widely opposed by officials in the DPRK and China.In particular, a group of clans were unwilling to give up the place where their ancestors lived, and asked the emperor to continue to stick to Huining City.But at this time Wan Yanquan had no patience to explain with the officials of the DPRK and China.Because the camp of the Song Army will become stronger and stronger as it is built, and it will become more and more difficult to successfully break through.Indecision will only delay major events.And he didn't want to hand over Ning Cheng to Zhao Er easily, so even if he fled, he still had to stay and stick to it.

Now a very real problem has arisen again. The emperor has no heirs, and his two younger brothers were also killed by him. There is no one suitable to choose to supervise the country.But it's not difficult for Wan Yanquan who wanted to leave, he decreed to use Taishi Wushu to supervise the country and stick to Huining City.With such an arrangement, one is that Wu Shu is already terminally ill and it is difficult to travel long distances; the other is that he knows that the grand master is by his side.I can only be a puppet forever, and I will be held back by it everywhere, so why not let everyone be relieved.And then Wanyan Quan made another arrangement, let the right minister Zhang Hao and the deputy capital commander Heshi Lie Zhining follow him, and the Minister of the Ministry of War San Zhongyi was promoted to the left commander to lead the army and people in the city to guard the city.As for the empress dowager and concubines in the harem, they all stayed in Beijing, because fleeing with them would only increase the burden. In order to extend the life of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yanquan decided to sacrifice them, which was also necessary.

As for where to flee.Wan Yanquan chose the northeast direction, because it was the only Huli diversion road that had not been attacked by war, and it could be used as a base for his rise, and there were high mountains and dense forests.It is convenient to hide and escape from the pursuit of the Song people.In addition, there are still a large number of raw Jurchens living in the Northland. Those people still maintain the old hunting customs and have a tough temperament.Vicious and aggressive, with high combat effectiveness.As long as you appease them, it will be a good source of soldiers...

Everything was ready, the day before Wan Yanquan's departure.Suddenly got not so good news, the Southern Dynasty agreed to negotiate a peace, everything can be discussed.It is not good because of the peace talks with them. Under the current situation, the Song people will definitely open their mouths, which will make Jin's already very difficult economy even worse.It was agreed because since the Southern Dynasties accepted the peace talks, it showed that they no longer wanted to fight, and they had to pay a price, but they could keep the national line.But fleeing is unknown, maybe he can successfully restore the country, maybe like Ah Shu, he can only spend the rest of his life in the mountains and forests.

Comparing the two sides, peace talks are of course more attractive to Wan Yanquan, but he has already recognized Zhao Er's true nature, scheming, scheming, vicious, cruel, and ruthless. As a result, his hundreds of thousands of troops were fooled and played to death by him.Therefore, Wanyan Quan Nanchao's sincerity was a bit vague, but his ambiguity didn't matter, it delayed his escape, but he also waited for a piece of good news.

Before the Song army besieged the city, an envoy sent to contact King Qin escaped the Song army and entered the city. He reported that he had successfully persuaded several Khitans who rebelled in Liaodong, and promised them that they would only need to help Jin Guo drive away the Song people. , then the Khitan ancestral land east of the Liaohe River can be given to them, and the country name can be restored.Now they have gathered 2 horses and are marching towards Huining City under the banner of restoring Liao Baojin, and they will reach the city in a few days.

Although there were not many people who came to aid Khitan, it was of great significance.They played the banner of restoring the country, and respected Yelu Yanxi, the deposed emperor who was still imprisoned in the head city of the Five Kingdoms. Then the Khitan people from all over the place would rise up and fight against Song Dynasty, and they would become an army that could be used by themselves. strength.This news was like a shot in the arm, cheering up the depressed Wan Yanquan. He decided not to leave, and ordered to send envoys to discuss peace with the Song Dynasty to delay the time and wait for the arrival of King Qin's army.

The emperor decided not to leave again, and all previous arrangements were overturned.Wan Yanquan once again made personnel adjustments, and he concurrently served as the commander in chief of the city defense, Marshal of Jin Guobing, and all senior cadres also implemented the responsibility system.Taishi Wushu is naturally as the chief of staff to assist him in commanding, Taibao Wanyan Zongmin is in charge of guarding the south city, Taifu Wanyan Zongxiong is in charge of guarding the north city, and the deputy commander of the capital, Heshi Liezhining, is in charge of guarding the imperial city. Servant Zhongyi commanded all the troops to defend the city for the defense of Huining City.The right prime minister, Zhang Hao, was in charge of setting up a negotiating team and went out of the city to negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasties.

Wan Yanquan immediately ordered another urgent recruitment of soldiers in Huining City, and the final effect was quite good. Another 15 rebels and more than [-] strong men were recruited, all of which were used to deploy the defense of Huining City, so that the army in the city once again reached There are as many as [-] people, but people have discovered that there are many old men with white beard and hair and young men who are not much taller than knives in this army. Everyone understands that they are mainly to solve the problem of eating. As for whether they can go to battle, only God knows up.

Everyone also knows that it is not enough to rely on Huining City's self-help, and it is necessary to seek assistance from outside the city to break the Song Army's blockade.Although the Khitan people agreed to send troops, it seems that it is not so safe, and it is very likely that they will turn their faces and become new enemies after the war.So Wanyan Quan dispatched many envoys carrying a secret decree to sneak out of the city with a lot of money, and went to various places to recruit soldiers. Anyone who is willing to come to serve the king, when he arrives at the city, a hundred people will be named Meng'an, a thousand people will be named ten thousand households, and those who are ten thousand will be directly named king. , to grant hereditary territory.

But everyone knows that there are very few people who can be crowned kings. Nearly 20 soldiers from the Wanyan Yuying Corps were wiped out, and there are no more than [-] troops around Huining, and most of the territory of the Jin Kingdom has been invaded. The number of armed legions of capabilities can be counted on the fingers.At this time, Jin Guo has the ability to rescue roughly two people:

The Kexi Corps stationed on Supin Road, they have two Qianhusuo and one Meng'an under their jurisdiction. Their main task is to guard against the rebels of the Five Kingdoms. The chief general of the Songxi Army is fortunately the son of Wanyan Zongqiang, the eighth son of Taizu Aguda, who is also a descendant of the clan, and he should come to serve the king when the country is in trouble.But they were far away in Liaodong. If they wanted to come, they not only had to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, but also passed through the control area of ​​the Khitan rebels and the blockade of the Song army.

The other is the Wanyan Pujia Slave Regiment of Puyu Road. They are stationed on both sides of the Black River. Firstly, they are to garrison fields. Second, they are to prevent the northern nomads from invading Huining Prefecture. Ann, because they are in the extreme north, there are few people, and they have not been recruited to fight for many years, and the soldiers have become peasants.Everyone is also very familiar with the main general, Wanyan Pu's slaves. He was transferred here to take care of affairs after being beaten by Zhao Tong until he became insane.

Even though he knew there were many difficulties in coming to the rescue, Wan Yanquan did not give up. Now, no matter if it is straw or wheat straw, as long as it is possible to save the fate of the Jin Kingdom, he must do his best to hold on to it...

While the Dajin Kingdom was actively preparing for war, peace talks had also begun, but it was not going well.The right chancellor Zhang Hao of the Kingdom of Jin presided over the peace talks. He was originally a war faction, and he received fifty court scepters for this. Do you want him to talk about it and there will be good results?The Da Song side's peace talks were perfunctory, with no sincerity at all, so the price offered was not low.The Kingdom of Jin was required to pay 100 million taels of silver every year; the Kingdom of Jin proclaimed its vassal to Song;

When Zhang Hao saw the terms of the peace agreement proposed by the Song Dynasty, he felt angry and blood rushed up, but first of all, he didn't feel that the price was too high, but he was ashamed.He is also a veteran of the three dynasties. When Emperor Taizong was in charge of "Chengying Yuqian Writing", that is, the secretary in charge of writing for the emperor, how could he not know the conditions when the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty negotiated peace, and what the Song Dynasty proposed now is a replica of the agreement. Zhao Er did this just to humiliate them.

A soldier can be killed and cannot be humiliated, Zhang Hao really wants to throw the plate and leave, but now that "gold is fish, song is knife", he has to swallow the bitter fruit that was planted 30 years ago, bear the shame of defeat, and maybe This is just the beginning...
