Kaifeng City Broken Chapter

First of all: In the entire Henan, except for the small part of Kaifeng City, there has never been any army in the nearly 167 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty! The army is all on the frontier except in the capital! Secondly: Now the entire north of the Yangtze River is divided into four channels, each of which is governing independently. After these many constraints, what can this newly released Grand Marshal have in his hands?

On the 0th, the Jin army sent envoys to demand peace talks again. They emphasized: What we want to meet is He Li, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, and the prince. The royal family named Zhao Zhongwen is far from yours! We only recognize close relatives, not the royal family.

On the 1st, the Left Chief of the Shangshu, Feng Cheng, the assistant secretary of the Privy Council, Cao Fu, and the royal clan Zhao Zhongwen went to negotiate with the Jin camp. On the 1st, Zhao Zhongwen came back, bringing Wanyan Zonghan's anger, "Zhao Huan, what are you doing? Don't you understand our Jurchens, are you? We want to meet Prime Minister He Li, Prince of Song Dynasty."

On the same day, the Jin army attacked and opened the Tianjin Gate and Xuanhua Gate. Fan Qiong led 1,000 soldiers out of Xuanhua Gate to challenge. The whole army was full of morale and scattered the Jin army under the city walls and pursued further. Unfortunately, the troops were trampled on. This time, the Song army fell into the ice river and drowned more than 500 people...

It was already 0 days since the war started, and the situation had never been so bad. At this time, the most determined warrior began to shake. This had nothing to do with belief, and it was even more irrelevant to honor, because this was a material world! 0 days later, the body of the Song army soldiers reached their limit!

But this is not because of the Jin army outside the city, but because of the damn weather, and the emperor's brain probably has problems!

The weather is hard to explain, and the unknown things have changed the ending because of it. The war history of Song, Liao and Xia has proved the greatness of the weather as force majeure countless times!

The Jin army encircled the leap November of the lunar calendar, which was the coldest time of the year. During these 0 days, strong winds kept blowing, heavy rain kept falling, and heavy snow kept falling, torture the Jin army outside the city and the Song army inside the city at all times! The Jurchens who grew up in the bitter cold north liked such weather very much. Cold is their friend. From ancient times to the present, every important war between the nomadic peoples in the cold zone was almost initiated in winter. But on the contrary, the Song army on the city was exhausted and collapsed.

On the verge of collapse, you have to fight without food and clothing. It’s almost a month since I’m almost there, and I can’t stand it. Especially in the fundamental way, they are a farming nation. Every winter, they are a habit of not doing anything. They eat less and go to bed early, and wait for the spring of the next year... It’s okay at first, defending the country, men are not afraid of death, why are they afraid of cold? You can’t stand like this every day, right? Later, the soldiers were so cold that their hands were so stiff that they couldn’t hold their weapons. Some of them were weak in body and froze to death on the city wall...

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty, known as the richest mankind in history, were so depressed. How did this happen? Turning to the history books, everyone could not blame the emperor Zhao Huan for no reason. Because His Majesty of the Emperor always appeared among the soldiers: he wore armor and helmets, he rewarded the soldiers with imperial meals, and he rode a horse in the mud, which moved the people to cry. He knelt on the sky steps of the palace barefoot without a hat, praying that God would not snow again. And his queen led the palace maids to make cold-proof clothes for the soldiers on the front line... How touching these are combined!

But on the other hand, this just proves what the problem is! How many kilograms of imperial meals are there? Is it enough to eat 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers guarding the city? Is the queen a skilled worker in the clothing industry? How many warm gloves can she make in 0 days? As for His Majesty the Emperor himself puts on the helmet and hangs armor on the top of the city, it is just a show of might. How much effect can this spiritual symbol have in the face of hunger and cold?

Especially every Kaifeng person knows that there are piles of cloth and smear in the treasury. As long as His Majesty is willing to take it out, the soldiers will definitely be able to withstand the cold within a few days!

Then why didn't Zhao Huan take it out? In theory, every rational and sound person knows that gold, silver and wealth are the wealth of ordinary people. For emperors, they are just numbers and have no specific meaning! Even Sun Quan, who was in peace with Jiangnan during the Three Kingdoms, understood this point. Why didn't Zhao Huan, who was educated by the emperor since childhood, understand? This question cannot be answered, because not only he doesn't understand, many people in the world don't understand...

In order to ask Wu Sangui to go to Beijing to serve the king, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty borrowed 1 million taels of silver from the royal relatives and ministers in the capital to send military salaries. The methods were exhausted, but no one responded to the city. As a result, the city was broken, and these wealthy nobles handed over everything under Li Zicheng's whip. How many? A total of 70 million taels! Not to mention the famous "I would rather be with friendly countries than with family slaves" by Cixi, the old witch in Qing Dynasty...

Putting aside these, the temptation of the Jin army was also the temptation of Zhao Huan to do such stupid things. In the ten consecutive days of strong attacks, Wanyan Zonghan was still using "peace talks" as a powerful weapon that was invincible!

To be fair: The peace talks move is the strongest weapon for the rise of the Jurchens and the continuous destruction of the Liao and Song dynasties! It made Yelu Yanxi dream like a fool, feeling that the end of the world was out of reach, and also made Zhao Huan feel a touch of moving hope at this time. There is still a way out of life, and it is far from the last step... So he is reluctant to let go of the foundation of the country in his heart! What is the foundation of the founding of the Song Dynasty? One word - money!

Money penetrated into the hearts of every Song Dynasty. The people made money by their lives, the literati and officials made money with red eyes, Wang Anshi split the officialdom for money, and Song Shenzong stood on the opposite side of his ancestors for money! So they all forgot: courage, intelligence, courage, etc.... These are the first elements of a country's survival!

On the 4th, the Jin envoy Liu Yan came again to ask: Prime Minister He Li and the Prince of Song Dynasty went to the Jin camp to negotiate.

On the same day, someone in Kaifeng City was finally afraid of being anxious, so he crossed the military leader and came directly to the "great god" Guo Jing, asking him to do something quickly, and kill the Jin army to death! Guo Jing asked very seriously, "The court asked you to come."

"No" and "No" this day, it was like a tacit understanding. The official did not go to find Guo Jing, and Guo Jing was also very calm. The Jin army was unable to cross the city wall in the end. Kaifeng City escaped...

On November 5, 116, the snow was blowing heavily, and the north wind was blowing. The Jin army took advantage of the cold and attacked. The last moment came! Even Zhao Huan felt the danger. The emperor ordered the whole army to go up to the city and gather all the forces to defend! In this regard, Prime Minister He Li and Sun Fu, the Tongzhi Privy Council, did not agree with this: This is a mess! The gods have appeared, and he will solve everything! What should the army do? This is an extra move! They ordered Guo Jing to go up to the city!

The great gods listened to the government very much. In fact, everyone who gained reputation in the human world listened to the government. He got up and left. So a great god and 7,777 magic weapons walked up to the head of Kaifeng city. These people walked by the rain of guns, arrows, heavy snow, and walked up to the empty and deserted city... Yes! You read that right, at this moment, there were no professional soldiers on the head of Kaifeng city. Except for a few people, all soldiers were driven down to the head of the city. The reason was that the divine soldiers would be invisible in a while, and there would be an impact if there were too many people...

After Guo Jing finished casting the spell, all the Kaifeng city gates were opened! The "divine soldiers" will take the initiative to attack and challenge the Jin army!

What does this scene mean? Under the gaze of the main god Guo Jing, Privy Councilor Sun Fu, and General Zhang Shuye, 7777 "divine weapons" rushed towards the rolling Jin army cavalry. They acted quickly, crossed the moat, met the enemy, and retreated to the moat...all drowned.

On the top of the city, Guo Jing was furious, "I must cast the spell myself." Guo Jing went down to the city to fight. He acted more quickly. Before the Jin army approached, he ran to the south and disappeared under the pursuit of the Jin army...

Is the above scene funny? Not funny. Is the above scene rare? Not rare. From the Song Dynasty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Yihequan, this "fair spirit" has been circulating on the land of China. It is a tradition. After drinking the divine talisman and divine water, they rushed towards the invader's foreign gun with their flesh and blood, and even though they were shot and fell to the ground and died, they still said "invulnerable to swords and guns..."

Afterwards, the Jin army rushed to the open Kaifeng city gate... In recent years, the Jurchens have done a lot of work to break into the door and are very skilled in this entire operation process. But after rushing into the city, they were stunned.

Look around us, our Jin army is on the city wall, at the commanding heights! We haven't gotten down the city yet, but why are the fires soaring into the sky, shouting and killing people all over the place? We are still waiting for the Song army to counterattack and take back the city wall! Where did the Song army? Where did they all run?

The Song army killed people and set fire below. During this time, they had a lot of results. Ordinary people and minor officials ignored them. The well-known people who were killed were: Yao Youzhong, He Qingyan, Chen Keli, Gao Zhen, Huang Jing... Several of them, together with their families, were killed. Liu Yanqing and the Jin envoy Liu Yan were also killed...

Yao Youzhong is the biggest contributor to the Second Kaifeng Defense Battle. He is an indelible contribution to Kaifeng City being able to persevere in the sky.

Liu Yanqing, he once led a 100,000 army to the north. He once held the fate of the nation. When he advanced, the nation would flourish. He did not make great achievements; when he was stable, he would enjoy victory, and he saw that the enemy was dying. But he fled, burned up all the country's largest grain and supplies, and did not escape the pursuit of the Liao army... This time he ran away again, but he still did not escape the pursuit of the Jin army. He was chased and killed by the Jin army, leaving his shame in history books. And his son, Liu Guangshi, one of the future "Four Generals of Zhongxing", not only failed to cleanse his father's shame, but instead carried forward this shame...

In this chaos, only Zhang Shuye and his son were able to maintain their combat and survive. They fought with the Jin army, retreating while fighting, and then fought with the Song army, retreating while fighting. They retreated to the city, becoming Zhao Huan's only hope today...

Kaifeng Sanchong City, 80 miles of outer city and 0 miles of inner city. Now the outer city has been broken, and the living space has been greatly reduced. Nearly one million citizens are crowded and trampled, and they are running around in a daze with the flow of people, not knowing where to go... The prosperous and famous city in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" suddenly fell into hell, which made them even more panicked that the army suddenly lost control.

People born in peaceful times will not know what kind of monster the army is. It can be sacred, a soldier who protects his homeland, and is trustworthy at all times. This is the consensus of the people and the mission of the army. Unfortunately, it has another side. At some moments, it will become a devil, destroy everything, abuse everything, and do not distinguish between enemies and us... like a mutiny.

I would rather define the Song army at this time as a mutiny rather than a rebellion. They are also human beings. After nearly a month of hunger and cold, life and death, they suddenly encountered such absurdity... Anyone else would be so angry, right?

Are you going to die? Then all of them are dead! They rushed to the homes of high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants and ministers. They burned and killed and looted. Perhaps the burning fire could warm their frozen bodies?

Of course: this also includes a large number of rogues who are taking advantage of the situation. These scumbags are profit-oriented and fishing in the water, and are the most shameless villains in this historical period. Soon, they will do something even more shameless...

Returning to the side of Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan. The news of the fall of Kaifeng's outer city spread into the imperial city. He regretted it. He reviewed and thought about it. He seemed to have seen all the past clearly. He also improvised to correct the name of Master Zhong. "I don't need Master Zhong's words, as for this." After that, he calmed down a little and began to think of ways for his own safety.

There is no way? Apart from the national treasury, the sealed pile treasury is still in his hand, and he has nothing left. What else can he do? At the critical moment, he remembered the people. In the early morning of the next day on the 6th, he sent an order to the people to go to Xuande Gate to rescue the carriage and see what hundreds of thousands of people could come up with him.

On that day, more than 00,000 people rushed to Xuande Gate, allowing Zhao Huan to see the power of the people! First, the news was that the Jin army sent 4 peace envoys last night. As soon as they entered the inner city, they were killed by the citizens. At this time, the citizens came to see the emperor. Everything was secondary to rescue the emperor. They wanted weapons! The Jin army was the enemy, and the Song army was unreliable. They wanted to protect themselves and protect the emperor by the way!

What a rare morale of the people! If you make good use of it, who would say there would be no turning point? At least you can resist for a few more days and wait for Li Gang, Zong Ze and others to arrive.

But the situation became very strange. Zhao Huan ordered the people to summon them to find a solution, but he himself was not delayed. The people were annoyed and in the anxiety, some people lost control again.

Tens of thousands of people chopped the Zuoye Gate with an axe and asked the emperor to come out. The emperor finally came out, but the taste changed. It was originally the emperor who shared the worries with the people and overcome difficulties together, but now it is like a mutiny escalation. He was killed in front of the palace gate, and the emperor came out to negotiate with the people...

That day, Zhao Huan stood on the city tower and stood on the railing and shouted, "It's over here, what are the military and civilians' plans? If you have any plans, I should follow it." The people answered. 0,000 people answered together. How can people listen? Here, Zhao Huan went here to talk. Then, Zhao Huan ran over there again. In the chaos, the emperor looked panicked and his hat fell off...

This was done until the meeting was disheartened. The people left and the emperor returned to the palace in a daze. He could not get anything. The only result of this gathering was to witness the embarrassment of Zhao Song's descendants. The arrogant emperor would have such a day?

This made the guards very angry. To be honest, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, even the Emperor of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who was carrying a jade axe at any time, was very kind to the people around him, kind, generous, and tolerant... These virtues were not available to any dynasty.

At this time, the emperor's embarrassment made the guards angry! At that time, Zhao Huan was following people, Sun Fu, Mei Zhili, and Lu Haowen. A group of guards suddenly rushed over. The leader was Du Yuhou Jiang Xuan. He loudly accused "The country is so powerful that it is all because of the priest trusting evil people, and it is not necessary for good people to do it."

Sun Fu, the Tongzhi Privy Councillor, became popular immediately, which was obviously scolding him! Among individuals, he was the only one who was the priest. As for the evil spirits... who else could there be? Of course it was Guo Jing! The biggest reason why Kaifeng's outer city fell was that he provoked 7,778 gods! But can he scold me like this?

Sun Fu chose to fight back, and he scolded Jiang Xuan sternly. Unfortunately, Lu Haowen stopped him that day, but Jiang Xuan failed to cut him down. Sun Fu has huge flaws, which makes people want to kill him! But he has another side. His story is not over yet. When that side is revealed, everyone always feels indescribable...

That night, Zhao Huan calmed down a little, and then realized something very strange - why didn't the Jin army attack yet? The most solid outer city fell and the defenders mutinized. Why didn't they attack the inner city in one go or even attack the imperial city?
