Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Finally, after learning that Jin Wushu was completely defeated in Hebei, Wanyan Balisu finally took off his armor and really surrendered.

Surrender has become the main theme, and no one is willing to continue fighting.

Except Yunnei State.

According to information from Yunnei Prefecture, the Jin army has been guarding Yunneizhou City for several months.

The gate of the city was blasted open by the Song army, and the two sides fought in the city for almost a month, and the city of Yunneizhou became a hell on earth.

Some people say that Yunnei Prefecture has been recovered, while others say that the golden army in Yunnei Prefecture is still resisting.

As for the Jin army in Liaodong, almost all were wiped out, leaving only Liaobei, which is the birthplace of the Jin country.

Chapter 1497 Will the Kingdom of Jin be destroyed? (first update)

In the early summer of Jingkang 18, the flowers in Hebei were more blooming than in previous years.

Some people say that those flowers grew on the blood of countless people who died in battle.

Their appearance heralds the arrival of a new era.

In such a great era, the prestige of Zhao Guan's family has reached an unprecedented peak.

The news that the official Zhao's family drove to Youzhou spread back to Tokyo and went south to the Yangtze River, and there were cheers from all walks of life.

However, along with the cheers, there is never a lack of debate.

Whether the Kingdom of Jin has perished or not, the ministers have their own opinions.

Some people say that the Kingdom of Jin has been destroyed.

Wanyan Wushu, a powerful figure in the Kingdom of Jin, was captured, and the main force of the Jin army was almost lost.

Wan Yanliang, the lord of the Jin Kingdom, was also captured, which was a sign of the fall of the Jin Kingdom.

Even if the Huining Mansion in northern Liaoning supported another King of the Jin Kingdom, the nature would change.

Not to mention that there is still an elite Song army in Changchun Prefecture, eyeing the Huining Mansion.

Some people also say that the Kingdom of Jin has not yet died, because there are still major Jurchen tribes between the white mountains and black waters in northern Liaoning.

Although most of the young men of those tribes lost in the Ninth Song-Jin War, the women are still there, the children are still there, and some men are still there.

The officials of Huining Mansion are still there, and after two generations of restructuring in the Kingdom of Jin, the bureaucratic system is still there.

Although northern Liaoning is cold, there are some places where you can farm, hunt and fish.

When the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Liao Dynasty and conquered the Song Dynasty for the first time, it looted a large amount of gold and silver, which could be exchanged for currency.

More importantly, the barbaric Jurchens have seen the light of civilization, and they have been enlightened and influenced by the Han civilization.

When a person is always in the mountains, he may think that the whole world is in the mountains.

But once he sees the outside world, he will never be able to think that the mountains are the whole world.

Based on these arguments, some people believe that the Kingdom of Jin is not dead yet.

They are only weakened in a short period of time.

They may hide in the mountains or among the jungles. The learned and knowledgeable among them will tell the next generation that this world is very big. In the far south, there is a prosperous and fertile land where there is endless wealth. Our ancestors The iron hooves of the Yellow River used to drink horses, and we will go back sooner or later.

For example, Zhang Jun, the leader of the main combat faction, firmly believes that the Jin Kingdom is not dead yet, and that when the weather permits, troops should be sent to Liaobei as soon as possible.

It is not only necessary to carry out a large-scale military attack on Shangjing, but also to conduct a comprehensive search of the surrounding mountains, rivers and lakes, and arrest all the Jurchens there.

Those who refuse to accept will be killed, and those who are convinced will move to the pass.

The hawks like Zhang Jun immediately got the response and support of many people.

But Lu Yihao expressed his opposition, and Fan Zhixu, a military and political conservative bigwig, also strongly opposed it.

Lu Yihao believes that extending troops to northern Liaoning is an extremely unrealistic and naive idea.

The reason is that Liaodong is extremely vast, thousands of miles deep, but sparsely populated. If a large army goes deep into Liaobei for a long time to fight, the logistics cannot be guaranteed at all.

This terrible mode of war is a challenge to Da Song's finances.

No matter how rich you are, there is no need to throw money in the wilderness.

Lu Yihao came from the management point of view of the Hebei State-owned Commercial Corporation of the Great Song Dynasty. He calculated an account and believed that the in-depth battle against Liaobei was an extremely loss-making business.

Since it is losing money, it means that the investment of the state-owned commercial company cannot be recovered, and the follow-up investment will be greater and the effect will be less.

If things go on like this, the profits of those private trading companies that are willing to cooperate with state-run trading companies to transport food and materials cannot be guaranteed, nor can they persist.

Summary: No matter from the results or from the process analysis, it is the worst policy.

However, Fan Zhixu said without hesitation: Going deep into the land outside the Huahua area to fight, after a long time, warlords like arrogant soldiers and mighty generals will inevitably be born, and the imperial court is spending money to cultivate another Anlu Mountain.

In addition, Fan Zhixu also proposed to re-establish military towns in Lulong and Guangning and rebuild Yuguan.

This kind of argument obviously does not want to incorporate Liaodong into the Central Plains system, but wants to guard against Liaodong.

Using his own way of thinking to infer, he believes that it is impossible for Liaodong to obey the imperial court. If the defense is not set up in time, once there is a change in Liaodong one day, everything will be too late.

In fact, Fan Zhixu believed that the imperial court should designate Youzhou as the northern capital, and His Majesty the Emperor would take time to go north to the northern capital every year.

Only in this way can the Yanyun defense line be controlled more effectively.

Zhao Ning read all kinds of opinions.

He didn't express his thoughts immediately.

It's normal to have arguments.

The development of everything is full of controversy.

What's more, a country has regained a vast land, and has brought in more land and incorporated more alien races.

Even Zhao Ning was thinking that the so-called reconstruction of Yuguan by people like Fan Zhixu, from a political point of view, was a typical attempt to exclude Jurchen officials represented by Wanyan Xiyindai.

By mid-April, with the increase in food transportation, people's strength was slowly recovering.

On April [-], Zhao Ning sent Chen Gui to Guangning.

Immediately, Yue Fei's department, who was still stationed in Guangning, cooperated with the old rules and built Shanhai City in Yuguan.

The significance of Shanhai City lies not in defense, but in the economic connection along the West Liaoning Corridor.

Zhao Ning is a person who attaches great importance to economic construction. In his opinion, construction is always more difficult and more important than destruction.

Only by establishing a solid connection can there be cultural exchanges, currency circulation, and human circulation between Liaodong and the customs.

At the end of April, Zhao Ning received a letter from Anbei Mansion.

It's about the Golden Army of Yunnei Prefecture. It is said that the entire city of Yunnei Prefecture is littered with corpses.

Wuyan Puluhun led the last few hundred Jin troops out of the city, committed suicide halfway, and was still shouting Jin Wushu's name before he died.

Wars between countries have always been so simple and cruel.

When Yunneizhou was completely in the hands of Song Dynasty, the recovery of Yanyun was considered to be over.

Newspapers from all over the country, after bombing in turn for a month, pushed their praises to an unprecedented climax.

At this time, the territory of the Song Dynasty stretched from Haidong Koryo in the east to Beiting Grassland in the west, Chuohe in the north, and Lingyamen in the south.

In the borderlands, there are millions of soldiers, and on the seashore, there are warships like clouds, and the martial arts are extremely prosperous.

At this point, it's time to reward the meritorious deeds.

On the first day of May, Zhao Ning traveled south from Youzhou all the way back to Beijing.

The Northern Expedition, which lasted half a year, came to an end.

Along the way, officials from various state capitals moved upon hearing the news, and the common people lined up to welcome them.

The grand event is extraordinary, never seen since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Immediately, under Zhao Ning's call, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin all returned to Bianjing.

When passing through Handan, Zhao Guanjia announced the end of the wartime state and the end of the war.

This means that the operation of private commercial companies has returned to the free state before the war, and the military commander temporarily appointed during the war will also return to Beijing to surrender military power.

Chapter 1498 Internal War? (Second more)

On the second day of May, in Huining Mansion, the imperial palace in Shangjing, the maids and servants hurried out with the crowd carrying their belongings.

Not long after, there were bursts of women's cries and men's scolding from inside the palace gate.

The Imperial Guards around are ready to fight.

"Your Majesty, there is no Song army in Beicheng, so we escaped from Beicheng." Wanyan Zongxian, the commander of the imperial guards, said.

Wanyan Zongxian is actually an artist and diplomat, he is Wanyan Zonghan's younger brother.

After Zong Han died of illness in Shangjing, Wanyan Zongxian participated in military and political affairs even less.

However, right now, no one has more prestige than him.

After Wan Yanyong got on the imperial chariot, he still didn't forget to ask: "King Zhou, can we still escape?"

"The minister will escort His Majesty out."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Pu and Lu, and reconvene the leaders of the ministries."

"Can you still fight with Song people?"

"Stop fighting, let's go back to the mountains, rivers and lakes, and go back to multiply." Wanyan Zongxian said sadly.

The crowd hurried towards Beicheng.

After several months of siege, under the leadership of Yang Zaixing, the Song army used heavy artillery to penetrate the south city wall and the west city wall.

The last force in Shangjing launched a desperate resistance to the Song army.

The street fighting alone lasted more than a month.

At this time, the south and west cities of Shangjing were filled with corpses, and some corpses had even rotted, causing the city to stink.

It was because of the fear of contracting the plague that the Song army stopped attacking.

This just gave the golden man a chance to catch his breath. At the last moment, Wan Yanyong planned to abandon the city and leave.

Outside the northern city, the Song army had already ambushed.

When the large team of Jin people appeared, the Song army suddenly rushed out, beating the Jin soldiers on their backs.

After a morning of fighting, Song Jun surrounded the gorgeous carriage, but did not find Wan Yanyong inside.

In the evening, the bloody setting sun reflected the half-abandoned city, as if it was saying a final farewell to its short-lived prosperity.

Several cavalry hurried to the bank of the Hudong River.

"General Counselor Zhang, we found five hundred catties of fire oil in the palace of the Kingdom of Jin."

"Is it only five hundred catties?"

"There's only so much left."

Zhang Jiefu said: "The Jinren have mastered a lot of firearm skills, but after all, due to limited resources, they cannot manufacture more. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Jinren failed."

The scarcity of resources, no matter how the system is reformed, has an upper limit after all.

"Go, arrange for someone to burn all the corpses in the city."

"General Counselor Zhang, I'm afraid this amount of fuel is not enough?"

"Your brain, you use it to burn part of it first, and the fire burns, can't you let more corpses be thrown in it?"

"Oh oh oh, I see, look at me, I'm so confused in fighting."

At night, raging flames burned in Shangjing City.

In order to avoid the plague, the Song army all walked with their faces covered.

The fire grew stronger and lit up for miles around.

On May [-]th, the day Zhao Guan's family arrived in Bianjing, the battle report of Huining Mansion was sent to Youzhou and placed in front of Zhang Jun's desk.

Wan Yanyong didn't catch it, that's the point.

The hardliner Zhang Jun immediately summoned the officers who stayed in Youzhou to discuss the matter overnight.

Finally, a conclusion was drawn: more soldiers and horses must be sent to northern Liaoning to start a comprehensive search and arrest operation.
