choke element

Guo Ning mobilized his horses and headed north along the Huimin River. He was anxious to confirm Li Ting's safety and ignored Wanyan Xilie.

Several attendants at the side looked at each other, but didn't dare to say anything more.

Guo Ning saw their expressions and knew that his subordinates were a little confused.According to common sense, as the leader of one side's military and political power, he should comfort the person who was instructed by his own side and made great achievements in front of the battle, and make some promises in terms of rank and salary. Guo Ning himself just showed his bosom of being a corporal.

But Guo Ning didn't do this, and naturally he had his reasons.

In the final analysis, Wanyan Xilie is an important chess piece placed by the Ding Navy's recording department in Kaifeng City, and it is also a secret that only a few people in the Ding Navy know.But in the past six months, hundreds of thousands of Jurchens have fled, and among them, there is more than one person secretly involved with the Dinghai Registrar?
Guo Ning's Dinghai regime is a Han-dominated regime, but the main enemy in the eyes of its core frontier warriors is always Mongolia.

Although they also have hatred for the Jurchens, it is mainly out of anger at the incompetence of the Jin Dynasty court, not to the extent that Haner in the Central Plains has endured the pain of bone-sucking marrow and is incompatible with the Jurchens, so they have never specifically mentioned it. Words such as revenge against the Jurchens.

The people below are rough in their work, and they may have used thunderbolts to break up the Jurchen's Meng'an Muke, but in the political center of the Dinghai Navy, they have always regarded themselves as co-owners of all ethnic groups in the north.

Just like how the Jurchens replaced the Khitan people back then, now the Han people replace the Jurchens, and they still manage the Jurchen ministries as usual. The elder Wanyan Chenghui of the Privy Council of Yidu, is really a first-rank official, and there is no shortage of high-ranking officials and generous salaries; As for those in the Northeast Mainland, they are still the real powerful ministers who lead the army.

Half a year ago, the former emperor in Zhongdu City performed a leaping performance under the eyes of all the people. Many real girls saw this kind of joke, and they were completely disappointed with the Dajin court or the Wanyan royal family.

As a result, there were many people who took refuge in the Dinghai regime one after another. On the surface, they went south to Kaifeng, but in fact, there were not a few people who secretly communicated with Dinghai.

Among them, there are at least ten people whose identities are so high that Xu Yu had to report to Guo Ning alone.Wanyan Xilie is just one of them.

The premise of Ding Haijun's move to the south this time is that the Kaifeng court brazenly sent troops to fight the Song Dynasty, and the movements of many soldiers and horses of the Kaifeng court were all under the control of Ding Haijun, and benefited from the information that several of them reported back .

From this point of view, Wanyan Xilie is just one of many Jurchen descendants.

It may be courageous to disperse the seven thousand soldiers alone, but his brother Wanyan Chen fought fiercely with Ding Haijun at Lincai Pass. ?
What's more, Guo Ning dared to lead his troops straight into Kaifeng because he had absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates and believed that the two thousand cavalry could control the situation.Judging from his rich experience, he didn't think that the Jurchens could recruit elites who dared to fight tough battles in the city.

As long as the Jurchens have some available soldiers, they have already used them, and they can't wait until the Dinghai soldiers approach the city.Those who are only used at this time are basically useless people. The 7000 people came as soon as they came, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

He rode his horse and galloped for a while, gradually moving away from Wanyan Xilie and the Jurchen soldiers he gathered.

Guo Ning then asked: "You are thinking, Wanyan Xilie has made such great achievements, and she has shown her own bravery, why don't I comfort me generously, right?"

"Ahem, yes."

"We have dealt with the Jurchens, the Khitans, and the Mongols a lot. We should know that these people... I mean those who have never read the Han family classics and history books... all know force and are afraid of power. Huaide. Being kind to them will only make them have unnecessary thoughts, and sooner or later there will be troubles in the future. Especially the Jurchens, even though they are weakened, their spirits are high, and they must be killed to make them terrified and beat them to the bone. They are like eagle dogs and lackeys, and at that time they will be rewarded with a little bit of benefits, and they will feel at ease and feel relieved!"

The witty attendant thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Just like our governance in the Northeast, we have to treat those Huligai people as lowly people, and they have to serve in the military government in order to obtain household registration and military household registration. They will regard it as a treasure, and everyone is eager to get it. Otherwise, if you just treat him like a child with money and food, those savages will not feel good, and will only become more arrogant."

Most of the attendants around Guo Ning will be released one after another.When serving as attendants, their horizons are much broader than usual, and smart people can gradually realize some truths that cannot be explained clearly. Understanding these truths will be more beneficial for future assignments.

Guo Ning glanced at the attendant and nodded slightly.

An attendant at the side followed Guo Ning's train of thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What should we do with the officials of the Jurchens, what about the little emperor of the Kaifeng court? And those..."

Guo Ning pretended not to hear, and galloped forward by himself.

Several attendants in the rear all looked at the questioner with blame in their eyes, as if scolding him for being stupid.

The attendant was stunned at first, but then he thought of the key point, he was very annoyed, and regretted talking too much.

When the group rode their horses and galloped, there was no one around Wanyan Shouxu, the emperor of the Kaifeng court and King Sui of the Great Jin Kingdom.

The last few personal guards around him tried to form a small formation to block the incoming enemy.Unexpectedly, those enemies were as fierce as ghosts, and they killed them by rubbing their bodies with swords in their hands. The guards didn't last for a few rounds, and one after another, they lay dead on the spot.

Tian Zhuo also died.

Previously, the emperor asked questions furiously, but the enemy ignored them at all and just kept moving forward.Tian Zhuo exerted all his strength, pulled the emperor behind him, and then stood up and asked, "What do you want? Money? Or merit? If you want money, I have it here! If you want merit, I have it here too! So that you can know , I am..."

A civil servant like him can only try to use his tongue at this time.It's a pity that the enemies who rushed to kill still ignored it.

A soldier with half of his cheek scorched to the point of scorching pressed Tian Zhuo down without hesitation, and then pressed his knee against his chest.As a result, this capable Han official who once supported the Kaifeng court could not breathe at all, let alone speak.

Tian Zhuo struggled desperately, puffing up his chest.But he is a scholar, and the knees on his chest are under great pressure.

He could only exhale but not inhale every time, so he couldn't make a sound, and even the strength of his struggle quickly weakened.The soldier confirmed that Tian Zhuo's movements were slowing down, then turned the straight knife in his hand and stabbed sharply.

With a soft sound, the blade pierced Tian Zhuo's chest from top to bottom.

Wanyan Shouxu ran forward when the soldiers were holding down Tian Zhuo, trying to rescue this good minister who was also a teacher and friend.But he had been pampered for a long time, his movements were slow, and he ran to him, only to see blood gurgling from Tian Zhuo's chest.

At this time, Tian Zhuo still turned his face to the side, looked at Wanyan Shouxu, and opened his mouth eagerly, as if he wanted to say something.

After the Dinghai soldier pierced Tian Zhuo's chest with a knife, he raised his leg to step over Tian Zhuo's body, but Tian Zhuo didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the soldier's leg.

His voice was very low and weak: "That is the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom! Don't kill him! Let him go, and you will continue to have military exploits in the future! Otherwise, the birds will die, and the rabbits will die!"

As he spoke the last few words, a large amount of blood poured into his lungs and spurted out of his mouth.

His pupils suddenly dilated, and his mouth stopped moving.

"This is the prime minister of the Dajin Kingdom! You just killed him like this? You should save his life!" Wanyan Shouxu roared in despair, "He can give you whatever you want! ... I can too Give!"

Perhaps in the eyes of Ding Haijun, all the people in the Kaifeng court are rebellious, and they have no value at all.Even the Zaizhi of the Kaifeng court is the same.

Wanyan Shouxu remembered many things about Tian Zhuo.

For example, after receiving instructions from Tu Danyi, Tian Zhuo ran secretly to promote King Sui's plan to escape from the central capital; for example, after Wanyan Shouxu and his party arrived in Kaifeng on Qingqi Jiancong, it was Tian Zhuo's design to seize power, so that King Sui could escape in the shortest possible time. Take control of Nanjing Road.

After that, deeds of persuading farmers and recommending talents can be found everywhere.

If the Kaifeng court can survive for a long time, many deeds of Tian Zhuo during the process can be written in the history books, so that later generations will praise Tian Zhuo's talent and compare him with the famous officials of ZTE in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But now, the Kaifeng court has come to an end, no one cares about the officials of the Kaifeng court, Tian Zhuo's talents can only be brought into play here.

The same is true for Wanyan Shouxu.

He has big ambitions and talent to match.After he took control of the Kaifeng regime independently, he loved the people while raising soldiers, tried to be fair to the internal affairs, and aggressive to the outside world, and even tried his best to bridge the contradiction between Han'er civil servants and Jurchen generals, and reintegrate the forces of the two sides into one. .

But his efforts can only go so far.

He did everything he had to do, and he did nothing wrong.It's just that Zhou Guogong Guo Ning is stronger and moves faster.As a result, it took less than three years for the Kaifeng court to go from establishment to failure!

Wanyan Shouxu kept lamenting in his heart, if he could give me ten years, no, even five years, the Kaifeng court could at least win enough benefits from the Southern Dynasty...Earlier, the important officials in the court discussed privately and planned to seize Bashu as a way out.After all, even though Kaifeng's soldiers are inferior to Ding's navy, they are more powerful than those in the south!It's totally doable!

It's a pity that now, there is no need to think about anything.

Wanyan Shouxu had never been on a battlefield, but at this moment, a fool could understand the eyes of these soldiers.

In addition to the cold murderous intent in their eyes, there was also the rage protruding from the fire scene, as well as the fury of losing many companions.

They are here to kill.

At this time, not mentioning the fighting around Suzaku Gate, the news of the collapse of Aotun Oribu and Wanyan A Pai's troops also spread to the inner city and even the imperial city from the other city gates.

In fact, the emperor had already ordered the generals in charge of guarding the city to isolate themselves from the inside and outside, and never communicate with each other.But once the Aotun Oribu and Wanyan A Pai troops left, the troops in charge of staying behind were completely unreliable, and the news of the failure outside the city spread to the city as fast as lightning.

When the news arrived at the city gate, the defenders abandoned their weapons and scattered; when they arrived at the barracks, the soldiers rushed away; when they arrived at many mansions, the people in the mansions were crying loudly, and they drove their horses and chariots straight to the north and west of the city. Door.

After arriving at the palace...

The emperor looked back and saw that the direction of the imperial palace was blazing with flames, and the flames seemed to exceed the line along Nanxunmen Street.

Among the tall buildings built by King Hailing, there are still people running around like headless chickens, and some people shouting and jumping down from high places.

Some people gathered together, tore off the five-color Japanese flag representing Daikin in the building, and threw it to the ground.Surrounded by many people among them was a general in armor, maybe it was Wanyan Jiuzhu, the leader of the guards.

He might want to do something to express his sincerity in surrendering to the Ding Navy.

Very nice and smart.

But Wanyan Shouxu understood that these Jurchens in Kaifeng were not needed to establish the naval regime.Today, everyone, at least most of them, is dead.

When Wanyan Shouxu turned his head, the soldier who killed Tian Zhuo stood in front of him, holding a knife to chop, but hesitant.

In his perception, the imperial court of Zhongdu is the orthodoxy of the Dajin Kingdom, and the change of the Ding Navy's dynasty is also imminent.But this somewhat chubby young man in front of him, after all, once controlled half of the country, he was the Great Jin Emperor recognized by most of the Jurchens.

Even if this soldier is full of murderous spirit and treats human life like grass, the emperor is still the emperor, a big man with incomparable dignity, but he is just a small soldier.

As soon as he hesitated, Li Ting yelled at him, "You idiot, what are you doing in a daze? If you don't dare to kill anyone, get out of the way! Grandpa Li deserves the credit!"

Li Ting has a way of running the army. On the one hand, he is ruthless and strict in military law;As soon as this sentence came out, it was like an order. Many people laughed grinningly, and some people shouted: "Our Jieshuai is going to grab the credit again! Brothers, hurry up!"

In an instant, more than a dozen people scrambled up, and the first one grabbed Wanyan Shouxu.

Wanyan Shouxu originally thought that even at the last moment, he could maintain a calm posture without losing his imperial demeanor.But he was young after all, and he was used to enjoying wealth and wealth. When he was caught, the frenzy brought by the pain immediately overwhelmed everything, and that calmness suddenly disappeared.

He yelled loudly, struggled, punched the soldier like a madman, kicked his legs forward and backward, and tried to open his mouth to bite the palms extending from the left and right sides, trying to control him.

The fists and feet hit the soldiers with a bang, and the soldiers were rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so they didn't care at all.Only one soldier was bitten unexpectedly, a piece of flesh was torn off the edge of his palm, and he screamed several times in pain.

This rude gesture of resistance stunned the soldiers for a moment.

Over the past many years, such desperate acts of resistance are familiar to everyone.

Soldiers from Hebei remember that poor people who were the only males in their families but were still forced to sign for the army would do this; so.

Soldiers from Shandong remember that this is what happens to farmers who are suddenly deprived of their ancestral Susukita land after being conveyed by subordinate officials; this is what happens to peddlers who are deprived of all goods and property by Jurchen officers with a few pieces of waste paper called handing in money.

Soldiers from the central capital or along the northern frontier trenches remember that junior officers who were forced by their superiors to take responsibility for defeats and were beaten to death with clubs; women do.

The soldiers in the Ding Navy have long been used to seeing this kind of gesture, and are also used to this kind of merciless suppression after resistance.They are almost numb.

But they never thought that one day they could see such a situation for themselves, and the emperor who Kaiyuan sealed the Jurchens in the city would do the same.

It turned out that the emperor was nothing more than that.

The Emperor Dajin in Zhongdu City would jump off a building, and the Emperor Dajin in Kaifeng City would go crazy.

After the scale of the Ding Navy has expanded to a certain extent, it strives to act strictly and strictly, and rarely deliberately exaggerates hatred.

But at this moment, a special emotion finally erupted like a volcano, making the soldier who grabbed Wanyan Shouxu roar happily.

He grabbed the braid at the back of Wanyan Shouxu's head, and cut back and forth along his neck with a knife, trying to chop off his head.

The severe pain stimulated Wanyan Shouxu even more, making him struggle more frantically, but as the wound continued to expand, the struggle quickly turned into convulsions.

The soldier who killed Tian Zhuo and rushed to Wanyan Shouxu first also reacted.

"It's my credit! Mine!" He yelled dissatisfiedly, grabbed Wanyan Shouxu's braid furiously, and pulled his head that hadn't fallen off into his arms.

Without waiting for his companions to speak, he swung his short knife and slashed at the neck where there was only half a piece of flesh and blood left.

Because of the excessive movement, he even cut off half of the little finger of his left hand, and Wanyan Shouxu's neck was even more bloody, with flesh and blood spattered everywhere.

In a blink of an eye, he chopped off the head alive.
