Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 301 The Great Jin Kingdom also needs its own "Pig Rider Emperor"!

"Report! Your Majesty, that traitor Zhou has fled into the grasslands!"

Hearing the messenger's voice, the young Golden Emperor sat on his dragon carriage, his eyes filled with disdain...

[This traitor caused such a ruckus before, I thought he had some ability, but I didn't expect him to not even fight a single proper battle on the road!]

The young Emperor Jin was understandably disappointed. After all, his time was limited, and he had finally planned to make a big splash while he was in control, crushing the rebels with overwhelming force, only to encounter such a coward...

[But amidst his disappointment, He couldn't help but feel a surge of pride: although he hadn't achieved any dazzling victories, he had managed to chase a seasoned general all the way from the Yanshan Mountains to the Great Wall, and then from the Great Wall to the grasslands... This was undoubtedly a result of the traitor's fear of His Majesty!]

[Yes, I am indeed the number one Baturu of the Great Jin...]

In his triumph, the Jin emperor couldn't help but recall the earnest advice from Wuzhu and other senior officials of the imperial clan before his departure: "Although the rebels are numerous, why should Your Majesty go in person?", "I only need 100,000 imperial guards to defeat the rebels and return!", "Your Majesty should learn from the example of Emperor Yang of Sui..."

In short: Don't personally lead the army! Even if you must, don't bring so many people. After all, even if an army of 500,000 were just going on a spring outing, the cost would be staggering!

[The Jin Dynasty's finances are already strained; if they were to mobilize another 500,000 troops for a personal campaign, the national treasury would be so empty it would be practically empty of food...]

[Jin Wuzhu's words are not without reason, and these suggestions are indeed good advice for the country... but I will not listen!]

[I only have three years left, and less than a year of that will be spent in lucidity. If I don't seize this opportunity to create a big scandal, wouldn't I have wasted my time as emperor?]

As the saying goes, "Once power is in hand, orders are issued." To not use power is a waste; why should I not use it?

As for the empty treasury... what does that have to do with me! If there's no money, doesn't Wuzhu know to levy taxes? At worst, I'll just add an extra "suppression tax." Anyway, the people of the Central Plains are like weeds in the field; even if they starve to death, they'll just grow back in a few years, right?

Don't talk to me about being diligent in governing and caring for the people. I can only enjoy this for less than a year. What good is being diligent in governing and caring for the people? After I die, who cares if the world is flooded...?

[It was precisely because He harbored this "have your fun and then leave" mentality that, while sacrificing the nation's treasury to put on a grand show, He also issued an imperial edict: This personal campaign will not accept any surrender!]

[I don't care what their reasons are for rebelling, nor do I care what serious internal and external troubles the massacre of these hundreds of thousands of border troops will bring to the Great Jin. As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters!]

No matter how much Jin Wuzhu tried to reason with him, attempting to argue the devastation of the annihilated border troops, he remained unmoved: "I am determined to slaughter the greatest enemy!"

[Jin Wuzhu: ...]

For a moment, Jin Wuzhu truly regretted choosing such a noble person to be emperor, but since he had already made the choice, he could only swallow his pride and bear it. After all, an emperor comes with a "royal aura" once he ascends the throne, and no one in the world can resist his commands...

[Fine, let this precious emperor have his fun. He won't lose anyway. As for the mess that follows, we'll deal with that later...]

That's right, we absolutely cannot lose!

Neither Jin Wuzhu nor this new Jin emperor, who was eager to make a big splash, ever considered what to do if they couldn't win!

[Because as long as the Jin Emperor's chaotic divine power continues to permeate the Central Plains, the people living under its influence will naturally submit to him. In this state of "the world's hearts turning to him," the Jin Emperor's personal campaigns will undoubtedly be victorious in every battle!]

[It was precisely because of this innate, invincible confidence that His pursuit never stopped. Wherever Zhou Ni ran, the Golden Emperor's dragon banner followed, without any fear of being counter-killed...]

[As for your extremely unusual tendency to make hasty retreats along the way, it didn't escape the notice of the Golden Emperor. He only needed to think for a moment to realize: you clearly commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, yet you never seriously engaged in battle from beginning to end, which is obviously suspicious... If He's not mistaken, you were probably trying to lure the enemy deep into your territory!]

But was He afraid? Not at all!

[Even if you lure the enemy deep into your territory, you still can't defeat Him! Let alone your 300,000 rebellious Jin soldiers who are naturally countered by Him, even if you beg for reinforcements from the Mongol Khan, He won't be afraid of you at all.]

[After all, while the Mongol army wasn't countered by His "King's Aura," His 500,000-strong army was fully buffed! Against such a massive force, the Mongol army was better off not coming; if they did, they could wipe them out in one fell swoop, achieving a decisive victory!]

In short, the Golden Emperor has foreseen all possibilities; no matter how you fight, you can't possibly defeat Him...

Thinking this through, the Jin Emperor did not hesitate any longer and immediately issued an order to the entire army: "The Zhou rebels have no water or food, and it is impossible for them to advance any further into the grasslands. Therefore, the time for the decisive battle has arrived!"

[“Immediately order the entire army to cross the Great Wall and attack the Zhou rebels! Not a single person must escape!”] [“Yes! As Your Majesty commands!”]

【…】

[“Here we come!”]

[You had just named this place "Tumu Fortress" when you immediately saw the golden imperial banner, along with the imperial guards, cross the Great Wall and rush fiercely towards you and your army!]

This scene is just like a surging wave crashing against the rocks on the shore; its unstoppable force seems poised to send you traitors flying one by one...

However, you, a seasoned veteran of many battles, remained calm. You simply ordered your troops to form ranks and meet the enemy, waiting to capture prisoners once the enemy was routed!

[The soldiers: ...]

[All soldiers: Huh?]

Everyone was completely baffled. They had no idea what kind of nonsense you were spouting. You're clearly at a disadvantage, so why are you waiting to capture prisoners?

But before they could think further, a muffled thunderous sound suddenly rang out from behind the army, growing louder and louder, like the beating of war drums...

The new recruits were completely bewildered, while the veterans were horrified: The cavalry is coming! And a large contingent of cavalry!

[What's going on? Could it be that the Mongol Khan also received the news and is now taking advantage of the chaos?!]

Everyone was shocked, but only a group of veteran subordinates knew what was going on, and they all excitedly looked into the distance...

On the horizon, a massive, dark mass of Jin cavalry charged straight towards them! Most striking of all were the wondrous golden rays emanating from their bodies!

[Your secret police force, the "Imperial Bodyguards," has arrived!]

【…】

[In the 223rd year of the Shaoxing reign of the Song Dynasty, the "Imperial Guards," who had been roaming the grasslands with copper-tipped leather belts seeking to whip Mongol nobles, finally accumulated enough tyrannical power. Thus, under your advance command, they arrived early along the Great Wall, awaiting your arrival.]

Now is the time for them to unleash their power!

Three thousand "Imperial Guards" radiating golden light and divine power quickly charged towards the Imperial Guards, easily penetrating their formation and heading straight for the dazzling golden imperial dragon banner, all before your army's astonished gaze.

Faced with this sudden and bizarre cavalry attack, the Jin emperor was clearly panicked. He ordered his army to block them while simultaneously retreating, attempting to abandon his troops and seek refuge within the Great Wall!

But this is clearly futile.

With overwhelming military superiority, the Embroidered Uniform Guard broke through the Imperial Guards in a matter of moments and headed straight for the Jin Emperor. Soon after, the dragon banner symbolizing the Jin Emperor fell among the troops...

With this collapse, it seems that even the imperial power of the Jin Dynasty collapsed along with it, and could never be restored...

【…】

In the 223rd year of the Shaoxing reign of the Song Dynasty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard captured the Jin Emperor at Tumu Fortress and subdued over 500,000 imperial guards, achieving instant fame and shaking the world!

That year, the Jin emperor was forced to breach the gates, ordering Zhongdu and all the passes to open them and welcome him into the pass…

Thus, the Great Jin Dynasty acquired its own "Pig Riding the Emperor"...
