1108 At least this round, he won the bet
In order to show that this matter was a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty and to make everyone believe that this self-deception action was not self-deception, Zhao Ling made a decision.
He ordered Meng Xiang to be hung at the city gate and to display his body for three days to warn those who spread the rumors.
Anyone who dares to spread rumors will kill anyone, and I will kill him!
At the same time, Zhao Xing also ordered the Lin'an Imperial Army to be dispatched, and no one was allowed to spread the news about the Xiangfan war. All news was mainly official. As long as you hear any rumor, you should immediately track down the source and immediately execute it. This is a great achievement.
Who dares to spread rumors, kill immediately, confiscate the property, and who dares to speak out and arrest immediately, and never let go of it.
A large number of palace guards were added to the Lin'an city gate, and strict screening must be carried out when entering and leaving, and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will.
Someone tried to leave Lin'an, but was stopped by the imperial guards, all his property was taken away, and all five of them were killed. The rest were so scared that they quickly fled home and did not dare to mention leaving Lin'an again.
Under the threat of the bloody steel knife of the palace guards, Lin'an City, which was about to collapse like several times before, did not collapse, but stabilized.
Even the officials were scared, and no one dared to touch Zhao Xing's bad temper at this time.
It is also considered that Zhao Xing had experience. When he heard the rumors spread, he quickly ordered the army to dispatch and stabilize the situation with a bloody steel knife. He did not allow the things that had happened before to appear again, especially no one was allowed to leave Lin'an, especially officials and princes and nobles.
Anyone who dares to leave Lin'an will be severely punished.
All officials will be killed, treated the same as civilians.
Faced with such a terrible threat, whether the bureaucrats believed it or not, the civilians were frightened and dared not run away. Lin'an City, which was originally on the verge of collapse because of the news brought back by Meng Xiang, miraculously stabilized because of Zhao Xing's rapid and decisive actions.
People were still suspicious and worried, but they dared not leave. The officials knew more, but they got together in groups of three or three and began to doubt the authenticity of the news.
Moreover, the emperor's actions were too decisive.
For a moment, Lin'an City fell into a strange silence.
Yu Yunwen thought this was Zhao Xing's plan to kill two birds with one stone, so he forced out the Ming Dynasty hidden in Lin'an City. This news was just a scene led by Zhao Xing. He also praised Zhao Xing for being brave and resourceful in his heart, and could come up with such a trick to force out the detailed work in Lin'an City.
But when he asked for a meeting and saw Zhao Xing, he saw Zhao Xing on the verge of collapse.
He did not doubt the authenticity of the news brought back by Meng Xiang. He had already believed in the news that Xiangfan had fallen and the Ming army began to conquer the city. He did this just to prevent Lin'an City from falling into collapse, but he had no choice.
"I don't want to believe that Xiangfan has been lost, but Meng Xiang is the prefect of De'an Prefecture. He has no reason to lie to me. Xiangfan has been lost. The world's strong city has been broken after three months. There are three years of food storage there! How could this happen?"
Yu Yunwen was shocked.
If this wasn't Zhao Xing's conspiracy, it only means that all this is true and Xiangfan is really finished.
If Xiangfan is finished, it will not be easy for other places. The entire Jinghu War Zone will be completely destroyed. At this time, even if there is still a Sichuan-Shu army that can be used as a mobile force, it will not be able to save the overall situation.
The Ming army had so many, and at this time, it was possible to turn the world around unless the Sichuan and Shu army dispatched 100,000 people to enter the Jianghan area. However, it was impossible. The Sichuan and Shu army did not have so many people at all.
So the Jinghu War Zone was over. The Ming army achieved their strategic goals and cut the Southern Song Dynasty into two sections with one knife. The beginning and end cannot be taken into consideration or contact each other. The Ming Dynasty completely grasped the strategic initiative. If we take advantage of the situation to move south at this time, everything will be over...
Can the Song Dynasty continue to survive?
Yu Yunwen suddenly felt exhausted all over and fell down unsteadily, sitting on the ground with a pale face and his lips trembled slightly.
There is no doubt that the Song Dynasty has reached the brink of destruction. As long as the Ming Kingdom raises its feet slightly, the Song Dynasty will fall into an abyss that will never be restored.
And will Ming Congress do this?
Yu Yunwen was not sure.
Now Zhao Xing's strong control over Lin'an City is just a temporary moment. Once more and more news comes, those who don't want to stay here and wait for death will definitely rush out to survive, and even the garrison army will be abandoned.
They would feel that the Song Dynasty was basically over and were unwilling to serve the Song Dynasty again.
The order will be completely messed up, and the rules will be completely messed up... It's over, it's really over, everything is over.
This time Yu Yunwen guessed right.
However, a few days later, because the Ming army went south to attack the Jinghu War Zone on a large scale, the landlords and gentry fled to Lin'an in large numbers, and more and more people appeared inside and outside Lin'an City, and the number was increasing.
Then they rushed into Lin'an City like crazy to seek protection, and kept saying some terrifying news such as the Ming army coming and the Ming army was about to destroy the Song Dynasty, which scared the people of Lin'an very much.
All the news they brought was the fall of Xiangfan, the Jinghu Lake was in danger, and the Ming army went south to attack and destroy the Song Dynasty on a large scale. They did not dare to stay there, so they fled to Lin'an to seek asylum.
One person may lie, two people may collude.
The three of them became tigers.
What's more, there were definitely more than three officials and gentry who fled to Lin'an, and more than three thousand people. They fled to Lin'an with their families and small cars, seeking asylum.
So the news that the Ming army went south to destroy Song immediately swept across Lin'an City in an extremely terrifying manner, just like the little boy swept across Hiroshima, causing an extremely huge mental attack on Lin'an City, and penetrated the psychological defense line of Lin'an City residents and official personnel in one fell swoop, causing them to directly break the defense and be hit by a critical attack.
The entire Lin'an City was trapped in a whirlpool of fear.
A large number of residents escaped from Lin'an City with their families and their families and fled to the southeast. The guards could not stop them at all, and it was useless to draw their swords to threaten them. The surging crowds directly defeated Luka, and a large number of people rushed out of Lin'an City.
Not to mention the residents, many bureaucrats were also extremely frightened and fled Lin'an City on a large scale.
From June 23 to 25, in just three days, one-third of Lin'an bureaucrats escaped from Lin'an City, and one-fifth of Lin'an imperial guards fled in a small trip.
Several of the princes and nobles were too afraid to stay in Lin'an City. They took their family out of Lin'an City on the excuse of going to Wenzhou to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor, and even included the father-in-law of Emperor Zhao Sheng's eldest son, who also ran away.
The concubines who originally served Zhao Gou in the palace asked the Empress Dowager Wu, who was left in the palace, to leave because of excessive fear. Then, without waiting for Wu's permission, they fled with the palace servants. Anyway, the palace was in chaos and no one stopped them.
They also wanted to escape to Wenzhou and look for Zhao Gou, saying that they were worried about Zhao Gou's safety and wanted to go to Zhao Gou to protect him.
Zhao Xing gave it to his concubines to protect him, and there was no need for them, Zhao Gou's concubines.
These are still bureaucrats and vested interests. They will consider some of them before escaping and weigh the pros and cons. They will not want to give up their vested interests unless they have to.
Even they fled on a large scale, and of course the residents in the city ignored Run.
The residents in the city have no interests or burdens. They are not with the senior officials of the Southern Song Dynasty, nor have they ever felt what privileges and vested interests are. They are just a group of suffering ordinary people, and there is no need to die with the Southern Song Dynasty.
Anyway, when the dust is settled, they will be the same as ordinary people when they come back. No matter who is the boss, they will always be ruled by others, and it is absolutely fine.
So now, you have to hide.
During the entire Lin'an chaos, people in the highest decision-making circle of the Southern Song Dynasty also performed differently.
Ye Yi asked, Chen Jia and his two faces were pale, and Zhou Linzhi walked around in a panic.
They were too shocked, their minds were blank, and they could not make any decisions.
Some subordinates came to ask them how they should do things, but they could not give effective strategies for doing things.
So the court was temporarily disabled.
Wang Dabao, Hu Quan, Chen Junqing and others ran to see Zhao Xing, hoping that Zhao Xing could order to stabilize the situation, close the city gates, and not let others escape again. This is the only way at present.
Only Yu Yunwen was wearing an official uniform and holding a steel knife, and with two personal guards, he found the imperial guards in the chaos, and revealed his identity as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, and asked the imperial guards to stabilize the situation with him.
"The Ming army has no sign yet, so they are in a hurry to escape. If the Ming army cannot successfully come to Lin'an and destroy the Song Dynasty, then those who have already escaped will have to pay a heavy price. They will be searched and exterminated, and they will never be forgiven.
Those who are generals will be dismissed, those who serve as officers will be deprived of their status, and their titles will be deprived, and they will not leave anything. After they are taken down, they will have many, many official positions left.
And those who bravely stand up at this moment can not only receive generous rewards, generals can be awarded titles, officers can be promoted, soldiers can become officers, and wealth is in front of them. Wealth is in danger. Do you have the courage to seize it with me?"
When the imperial guards were in the six gods' masters, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they felt that Yu Yunwen was right.
At this time, Yu Yunwen also announced the reward content.
"Let me attack with you, close the gate of the Lin Security Department, and kill all those who try to break through the gate. No matter who they are, they will be killed, so as to stabilize Lin'an City. After the matter is completed, after the gate is closed, each person will be rewarded with a reward of 5 taels of silver. The position of an officer will be immediately promoted to an officer, and the execution will be carried out immediately!"
After saying that, Yu Yunwen raised his arms and shouted.
"If you want wealth, come with me! If you don't want wealth, just be cowardly here until you die!"
Yu Yunwen ran forward as he said.
After a while, he heard the footsteps behind him. He knew that he had won the bet, at least in this game, he had won the bet.
