Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

The man knelt and replied, "My husband's name is Zhou Qin."

"He was a student at the Imperial Academy during the Xuanhe era,"

"Having passed the imperial examination, he was granted the title of Jinshi."

"I was forced to become the magistrate of Jingxing County."

"But my husband did not aid and abet the evildoer,"

"The Jurchens are in charge of the county town."

"The Jin general defending the city was named Lou Su,"

"He has three hundred Jin soldiers under his command,"

"Extorting and levying taxes arbitrarily, cruel and inhumane!"

Zhang Guangdao asked, "Besides the three hundred Jin soldiers, what other garrison troops are there?"

The man replied, "Jingxing is extremely important."

"Except for three hundred Jin soldiers,"

"There are still two thousand Han soldiers,"

"They were all bandits from the surrounding area who had been granted amnesty."

"My husband has already persuaded the bandit leader,"

"They were all willing to surrender the city to the Ming dynasty."

"But forced by the tyranny of the Jurchens,"

"We dare not act rashly; the general must send troops to attack the city."

"Only then did the Han soldiers within the city dare to defect."

"At that time, those Han soldiers who are willing to return to the Han army,"

"Five flags will be planted on the city wall,"

"General, you can send troops to attack the flag-planting site."

"You wouldn't dare fight two thousand against three hundred?"

Zhang Guangdao held it in utter contempt.

The man gave an awkward smile and said, "They're all bandits who've been granted amnesty."

"How can they compare to the general's elite troops?"

Zhang Guangdao said, "Go back to the city."

"Just say two or three days from now,"

"The ice on the moat is more solid now,"

"I will then launch a full-scale attack on Jingxing City."

"This humble one takes his leave!"

After that person bowed,

He was taken away by the soldiers.

Three days later,

Zhang Guangdao and Li Qiong began their attack on the city.

A section of the city wall where Jin soldiers were stationed.

It was just a feint.

The Ming army found five flags.

With the support of Han soldiers inside the city,

Quickly ascend the city and kill the Jin soldiers.

The county seat of Jingxing has now been captured.

Guan Sheng, Yue Fei, and Li Shifu,

However, they attacked Xilin Mountain Village, Bailing Village, and Donglin Mountain Village respectively.

They are all small villages.

There weren't even any Jin soldiers.

The Han soldiers inside surrendered one after another.

On the third day after Yue Fei captured Bailing Village,

A soldier came to report:

"General, more than a thousand righteous men have come to join us!"

“Someone claimed to be the abbot of Taiping Xingguo Temple on Mount Wutai.”

"Please come quickly!"

Yue Fei always respected these righteous men who resisted the Jin dynasty.

Before long, more than a thousand rebels who looked like beggars were brought in.

They were all shivering from the cold.

Many of them also had injuries.

Some of the unconscious people were even carried over.

Yue Fei immediately ordered, "Quickly boil water and cook rice and vegetables!"

"Bring some more warm clothes,"

"Let the military medical officers treat the wounded."

Abbot Zhenbao of Taiping Xingguo Temple on Mount Wutai

As the representative, he led the group forward to pay their respects.

They also introduced the basic situation of their rebel army.

Chapter 292 Monks Resist the Jin

However, it was Wuhan Ying who was the first Song Dynasty civil official to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

He voluntarily shaved his head and changed his clothes to gain Wanyan Zongwang's trust.

Then he tricked Wanyan Zongwang into letting him return to Tokyo to persuade him to surrender.

After returning to Tokyo from Wuhan,

He immediately gave Zhao Huan a detailed account of the Jin army's intelligence.

Subsequently, Wuhan Ying was sent to rescue Taiyuan.

But Wuhan Ying had no soldiers at all.

The prefectures and counties along the way refused to lend him troops.

Wuhan Ying then went to Wutai Mountain.

They actually wanted to create a warrior monk army to save the country.

This group of monk soldiers,

It was established by the monk Zhenbao under orders.

They haven't even left Wutai County yet.

Then Wanyan Zonghan divided his troops to attack.

They crumbled at the first touch and fled in utter defeat.

The monk soldiers, led by Ying and Zhenbao of Wuhan,

They fled south in a sorry state.

It was the valley path through which the Jin soldiers fled after being defeated by Zhang Guangdao.

But as soon as they emerged from the valley,

I heard that the south had also been occupied by the Jin army.

Left with no other option, they had to go into hiding and wage guerrilla warfare in the southern mountainous area of ​​Wutai County.

Due to the brutal rule of the Jurchens in Wutai County,

Yanshan Temple on the northern slope of Mount Wutai has also rebelled.

A monk whose secular name was Lü Shannuo,

They used Yanshan Temple as a base to resist the Jin dynasty.

The Deputy Abbot of Wutai County, Master Zhenxi,

There was also a righteous man nicknamed Grand Tutor Du.

Each brought their troops to join forces.

At that time, they had more than 20,000 troops fighting against the Jin dynasty.

The Jin soldiers attacked.

The rebel army suffered several defeats.

They can only move to the northern mountainous area of ​​Yu County.

The Yanshan Temple and Taiping Xingguo Temple on Mount Wutai were both burned down by the Jin army.

Later, Wuhan Ying and the monk Zhenbao led the remaining troops

Go and meet up with Lü Shannuo, Monk Zhenxi, and Grand Master Du.

They have been fighting against the Jin dynasty in the mountainous area bordering Wutai County and Yu County.

Among the five rebel leaders,

Monk Zhenxi and Grand Tutor Du have died in battle.

Only Wuhan Ying, Zhenbao Monk, and Lü Shannuo remained.

Moreover, Wuhan Ying was unconscious at this time.

Lü Shannuo was also seriously injured and had to be carried away.

The monk Zhenbao said, "The Jurchens were previously defeated by Lord Zhang."

"We will take this opportunity to attack Wutai County,"

"But the traitor betrayed them,"

"They were ambushed by the garrison of Wutai Mountain."

"They suffered a crushing defeat and fled back into the mountains."

"Wait until the main force of the Jin army goes to Xinzhou,"

"We will then descend from the mountains to attack Wutai County,"

"At that time, we had already captured the county town."

"But... but Wanyan Zonghan personally led his troops back,"

"We are no match for the Jurchen invaders,"

"They had no choice but to abandon the city and flee into the mountains."

"After several major battles,"

"Of the more than 30,000 rebels, only more than 2,000 remain."

"And they lacked clothing and food,"

"Many more have frozen or starved to death,"
