When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

The inner city of Kaifeng.

Due to the oppression of the Jin people, the Song Dynasty in Jing Kang was plundering the people throughout the city.

in history.

In August of the first year of the Jing Kang period, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng resolutely launched a massive army, which swept towards the Song Dynasty like a surging tide.

This Jin army was extremely powerful and unstoppable. Wanyan Zonghan was appointed as the left deputy marshal and Wanyan Zongmou as the right deputy marshal. They led the eastern and western armies respectively and marched towards the Central Plains in a mighty manner.

In early September, the autumn wind is bleak and the chill is growing.

The Jin army led by Wanyan Zonghan was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and broke through the extremely strong Taiyuan city in one fell swoop.

This once indestructible city now fell under the fierce attack of the Jin army.

At this time, the Left Deputy Marshal Wanyan Zonghan, who was far away in the Jin army camp, received a piece of news that made him overjoyed - Li Gang, whom he had always been afraid of, was actually dismissed from his post!

This news undoubtedly gave Wanyan Zonghan great encouragement and confidence, so he immediately discussed with the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongmou and decided to join forces and march south together to attack the heartland of the Song Dynasty.

At the beginning of October, the Jin army successfully captured Zhending Prefecture with great momentum.

However, their pace did not stop, but became more rapid.

Not long after, the Jin army's left deputy commander Wanyan Zonghan led the Jin soldiers in the west to launch another large-scale attack. They advanced triumphantly all the way and invaded southwards smoothly.

Their target was Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

On the 22nd day of the eleventh month of the first year of the Jing Kang period, the sky was gloomy, as if foreshadowing the approaching of a huge storm.

The Jin army attacked Tongjin Gate and Xuanhua Gate fiercely like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.

Although the Song army defending the city fought bravely, they were helpless against the fierce attack of the Jin army and were ultimately defeated.

At this point, the Western Army and the Eastern Army led by Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Dynasty successfully completed the encirclement of Kaifeng, tightly trapping this prosperous city in the middle.

Faced with such a serious situation, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was extremely anxious.

In desperation, he sent his younger brother, Prince Kang Zhao Gou, to the camp of Jin army commander Wanyan Zongmou, trying to resolve the crisis through negotiations, but the Jin people ignored him.

At the beginning of the eleventh month of the leap year, there was a biting cold wind and heavy snow, but the bad weather did not affect the Jin army's determination to attack the city.

The Jin people set up ladders and pushed catapults, launching round after round of fierce attacks on Kaifeng City.

The Song army soldiers in the city fought bloody battles and resisted desperately, but the strength gap between the two sides was huge and the situation in Kaifeng City had become precarious.

In order to boost morale, Zhao Huan wore armor and helmet, personally went up the city wall to inspect the city, and also rewarded the soldiers with the meals prepared for the emperor by the imperial kitchen.

Zhao Huan rode his horse through the rain and mud to Xuanhua Gate to comfort the troops.

Unfortunately, these measures did not have much effect.

The outer city was breached.

The two Jin army generals Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongmou were not carried away by victory and were not in a hurry to capture the inner city.

Instead, they adopted a more cunning strategy - occupying only the four walls of the outer city, and then continuously launching feint attacks to intimidate the Song army and civilians in the city.

At the same time, they hypocritically declared to the outside world that they were willing to negotiate peace and withdraw their troops in order to confuse the rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

When Song Qinzong Zhao Huan heard the news, he believed it to be true, just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

He hurriedly dispatched Prime Minister He Li and Prince of Qi Zhao Xu as envoys to the Jin camp to seek peace.

When He Li and Zhao Xu stepped into the Jin camp, they were greeted by Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongmou with cold faces.

The corners of their mouths were slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible sly smile.

Wanyan Zonghan was the first to speak: "Since ancient times, the world has been divided into the north and the south. The two complement each other and are indispensable. Now, as long as you, the Song Dynasty, can agree to cede land to me, the Jin Dynasty, we can negotiate peace and stop fighting. But this matter is serious, and we need to ask the emperor to come in person to discuss it before we can make a decision."

When Emperor Taishang Zhao Ji heard this request, he was immediately terrified. How could he have the courage to face the ferocious and brutal Jin people?

Therefore, Zhao Huan had no choice but to burst into tears. He decided to go to the Jin camp to negotiate on behalf of the retired emperor, on the grounds that the retired emperor was too frightened and suffered from a serious illness.

At dawn on the 30th day of the intercalary November, the sky was still dark and gloomy, as if foreshadowing impending disaster.

Qinzong led many ministers and slowly walked towards the Jin camp with an uneasy mood.

When Qinzong and his entourage arrived at the Jin camp, they were looking forward to discussing peace matters face to face with the commander of the Jin army.

However, to their great disappointment, the commander of the Jin army did not even bother to meet with them, but only sent his envoys to ask Qinzong for a letter of surrender.

Faced with such a humiliating request, although Qinzong was unwilling, he was afraid that the Jin army would launch another fierce attack. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally did not dare to disobey the Jin army's will.

He quickly ordered the people around him to write a letter of surrender, and presented it to the Jin people with trepidation.

The Jin people were not satisfied. You Song people claim to have great literary talent, so you arrogantly ordered that this humiliating document must be written in four-six parallel sentences.

Emperor Qinzong had no choice but to swallow his anger under the powerful pressure from the Jin people.

Sun Di, the minister in charge of writing the surrender letter, began to rack his brains and carefully consider every word.

The contents of the surrender letter were revised over and over again, and every word and sentence was repeatedly scrutinized and pondered, for fear that any slight mistake would anger the capricious Jin people.

In this way, Sun Di made changes a total of four times before he finally satisfied the Jin people.

The general meaning of this surrender is nothing more than that the Song Dynasty bowed its head to the Jin Dynasty, was willing to become its vassal state, and humbly begged the other side to be magnanimous and forgive its mistakes. The whole surrender is full of flattery, showing the ugly servility of the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

After the surrender was presented to the Jin people, these aggressive guys even made an even more excessive demand - they wanted the emperor to go to the Jin camp in person. When Emperor Qinzong heard the news, he was extremely anxious and begged the Jin people to let the emperor go.

Perhaps it was because they saw that Qinzong was so humble and pitiful that the Jin people finally reluctantly agreed to no longer insist on this condition.

Then, the Jin people set up an incense table facing north in the Zhai Palace, and then arrogantly ordered the ruler and his ministers of the Song Dynasty to kneel down and kowtow facing north to perform the etiquette of a subject, and read out the shameful surrender letter in public.

It was the coldest time of the year, with heavy snow falling from the sky and a biting cold wind blowing on Emperor Qinzong and his ministers. Faced with such a great humiliation, each of them felt extremely painful and their eyes were filled with tears, but they dared not resist at all and could only endure it all silently.

After waiting for a long time for the surrender ceremony to be over, the satisfied Jin people finally let Qinzong and others go.

Emperor Qinzong dragged his exhausted body and slowly left the Jin camp and set out on his return journey. Recalling the scene when he first entered the Jin camp, he really went through many disasters and suffered endless humiliation.

Now, just three days had passed, and he felt as if he had lived a long lifetime.

When Qinzong returned to the court, before he had time to catch his breath, the Jin people impatiently sent people to demand huge amounts of property - 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver and 10 million rolls of silk.

But at this moment, Kaifeng City had already become an isolated city. All the treasures that could be looted in the city had already been plundered. It was impossible to collect such a huge amount!

Emperor Qinzong of Song was very anxious, so he drank with Minister Li in the back garden to relieve his boredom.

According to the original history.

Song Qinzong was frightened by the Jin people and was determined to retreat in humiliation and plunder gold and silver everywhere.

The Jin people demanded mules and horses, and the Kaifeng government offered severe rewards to those who reported the incident, and finally found more than 7000 horses. All the horses in the capital were gone, and some officials even had to walk to court.

The Jin people demanded another 1,500 young girls. Qinzong did not dare to neglect them and even asked his concubines to count as the girls. The girls were unwilling to be humiliated and many of them died.

As for gold, silver, cloth and silk, Qinzong felt that the treasury was insufficient, so he ordered the powerful, wealthy families and merchants to contribute funds to reward the army.

The so-called investment is actually robbery.

Those who resisted were often put in shackles, and even Queen Zheng's family was not spared.

Even so, the gold and silver were still not enough. Four ministers including Mei Zhili who were responsible for plundering the gold and silver were executed by the Jin people. Many other officials were beaten with sticks. Many people were forced to commit suicide. The city of Kaifeng was in a state of desolation.

However, the Jin people were still not satisfied and threatened to let their troops enter the city to rob and asked Qinzong to come to the Jin camp for negotiation again. Qinzong did not dare to disobey the will of the Jin people and had to go to the Jin camp again.

After arriving at the Jin camp, Song Qinzong was treated extremely coldly. Wanyan Zongmou and Wanyan Zonghan refused to meet him at all and placed him in three small rooms in the west wing of the military camp's Zhai Palace.

The furnishings in the house were extremely simple. In addition to the table and chairs, there was only a brick bed for sleeping and two felt mats. The Jin soldiers were closely guarding the house. At dusk, the door of the house was also locked with iron chains by the Jin soldiers. Emperor Qinzong and his ministers had completely lost their freedom of movement.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, with continuous rain and snow in Kaifeng, and the weather was surprisingly cold.

In addition to enduring the torture of hunger during the day, Qinzong also had to endure the biting cold wind at night. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Thinking about all this, his heart was broken and tears flowed like a spring.

In a blink of an eye, Qinzong fell from a noble emperor to a prisoner of the Jin people.

The Song Dynasty suffered a heavy blow.

However, with Emperor Qinzong of Song, the two appeared in later generations from the back garden.

The arrival of a well-equipped army.

The fate of the Song Dynasty also changed.

The outer city was breached, and the news spread quickly, and the entire inner city of Kaifeng fell into panic in an instant.

The once bustling scenes in the streets and alleys disappeared, replaced by a dead, depressed and deserted scene.

Old Zhao stood on a high ground in the inner city, his eyes slowly sweeping around.

Seeing people's faces filled with fear and despair, a nameless anger surged in my heart and my face turned livid.

"Is this the capital of the Song Dynasty? It feels even less prosperous than a remote town where I live."

Zhu Ming on the side lowered his head, carefully looking through the downloaded information about the battle situation.

After reading it, he raised his head and said calmly: "This situation is actually quite normal. Now that the Jin army has surrounded this place, the outer city has fallen, and only the inner city is left, which is also in danger and may be breached at any time. The common people will naturally feel scared."

Hearing this, Old Zhao was furious. He widened his eyes and shouted at Zhu Ming, "Zhu Laosi, let me lead a large army in person later! I want to go out of the city and have a good fight with those Jin soldiers. I want to see if these Jin soldiers are really so powerful that they dare to besiege the capital of our Song Dynasty so arrogantly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di snorted coldly and expressed his agreement: "No problem! Damn it, these little Jin soldiers dare to act so wildly here? This time, it's our turn to take the initiative and capture the fake emperor of the Jin people alive!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the 100,000 troops behind him immediately roared in unison, with great momentum.

Zhu Di held the detailed map of the capital in his hand, thought carefully for a moment, and then gave a decisive order: "This place is close to the North Gate, soldiers listen up! The entire army advances at full speed, and must occupy the North Gate as quickly as possible, and then go out of the city to engage in a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers and capture the Jin slaves alive!" Before he finished speaking, this mighty army rushed towards the North Gate like an arrow.

The army moved quickly and headed towards the north gate.

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "There are many Jin soldiers outside the city. It is not difficult for us to defeat them. It will be a bit difficult to capture more. I will go back and bring hundreds of thousands of troops over."

Zhu Di laughed: "That's exactly what I want. Once we leave the city, we will start scouting the map and try to destroy the Jin Dynasty within a month."

outside the city.

From time to time, extremely arrogant and shrill laughter could be heard from the densely packed tents of the Jin army.

Wanyan Zonghan was radiant and energetic at this time, with an unconcealable look of pride on his face.

He raised his head and laughed wildly, "Haha! It's really unexpected that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is so stupid that he cut off his own arm with his own hands. He is simply seeking his own death!"

Wanyan Zongmou on the side also laughed wildly: "That's right! Who would have thought that this attack would be so successful and easily besiege the capital of the Song Dynasty. Now we just have to wait for the Emperor of Song to deliver all the gold, silver and treasures!"

"In my opinion, we should stop calling the Song Dynasty the Song Dynasty and just change our name to the Song Dynasty! If we scare them a little, these guys will immediately give in and agree to all our demands. To be honest, when I first said those words, I just said them casually. I thought they would bargain with us, but I didn't expect them to be so cowardly and incompetent!"

"Hehe, the Emperor Song is so naive. Does he really think that as long as he gathers all the gold and silver treasures and hands them over to us, we will willingly withdraw our troops? That's just a foolish dream! What a wishful thinking!"

"How can we give up such a glorious military achievement that will go down in history?"

"That's right! Not only the current emperor, but also the abdicated emperor must not be let off. We must capture them both and bring them back to the Kingdom of Jin, so that the people of our Great Jin can see for themselves what a coward this so-called Emperor of the Great Song is!"

"I heard that the reign title used by the Song Dynasty is now called Jingkang, right? Hahahaha... It seems that this 'Jingkang Shame' will surely become a good story that we, the people of the Great Jin, will talk about with relish after dinner!"

"I don't know how the little emperor of the Song Dynasty is preparing. Let's ask someone to urge him."

At the north gate, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Zhu Di led the way and arrived here quickly with a mighty army of 100,000 like a surging tide.

The Song army soldiers who were responsible for guarding the north gate were stunned for a moment. They stared with wide eyes and looked at the majestic army in front of them with disbelief.

Li Yu, the commander of the north gate, was so stunned that his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

No one could have expected that this seemingly peaceful city actually hid hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.

For a moment, his surprise was beyond words: "Hahahaha, great, that's great! This is really a timely help! I didn't expect that there are such well-trained and well-equipped elite troops in the city."

You know, at this time the city was being besieged by the Jin army.

Although the outer city was lost, the inner city still exists.

It is possible that only a few or a dozen Jin soldiers will appear.

It was absolutely unbelievable that a full 100,000 Jin soldiers appeared in the city silently.

Therefore, Li Yu took it for granted that these troops must be the Song Dynasty's own soldiers.

So he plucked up his courage and shouted loudly: "Who is your general? Let him come to see me."

Before he finished speaking, the corners of Lao Zhao's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer of contempt, and sneered: "Humph, your own strength is not that good, but you are quite arrogant when you put on airs."

Hearing this, Li Yu immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

At this moment, Zhu Di swung his right arm violently. With his movement, the coalition forces of all dynasties behind him charged forward without hesitation like a tiger descending from the mountain.

In an instant, the shouts of killing were deafening and resounded through the sky.

Where had Li Yu and his men ever seen the tremendous power of rifles and cannons?
There was only a loud roar that resounded through the sky, and flames shot up into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, dense rain of bullets and artillery shells whizzed in.

After just one encounter, Li Yu and his subordinates were frightened out of their wits and their hearts were broken by the terrifying firepower.

Dozens of bodyguards were thrown into chaos in an instant. The soldiers ran away in panic, completely losing the courage to continue fighting.

Li Yu was captured by the Wanchao coalition special forces.

The allied forces of Wanchao easily occupied the north gate.

"I wonder when Xiao Zhu will be back?"

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of people appeared around.

"Hahahaha, Xiao Zhu's timing is pretty accurate,"

Zhu Ming waved his hand: "What do you mean accurate? I just came back and took a look myself."

A large number of soldiers will lead to a wide range of generals.

Twenty thousand men were responsible for guarding the city gates.

The city gate slowly opened.

Zhu Di sneered and said, "All the soldiers, follow me out of the city to fight and give the Jin people a 'Jing Kang Shame'!" (End of this chapter)
