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

Or was it because of extreme fear?

He knelt in the snow, shivering uncontrollably.

"Good kill!"

Amidst the cheers of the people,

A head fell to the ground.

Kong Yanzhou didn't dare to turn his head to look.

I closed my eyes, just hoping it would end soon.

But his reputation is the worst.

Intentionally arranged to be the last one,

Everyone else was chopped down before it was his turn.

Each day felt like a year.

Every minute and every second is torture.

Finally, Kong Yanzhou heard footsteps behind him.

He turned his head to the side and smiled apologetically.

The smile was so stiff it looked like a cry.

"Please...please, sir, give me a quick death."

"Kneel properly!"

The blade sliced ​​through the air.

Kong Yanzhou felt dizzy.

His head flew up and fell back down.

Thus ended his sinful life.

The bodies of these people,

They were all dragged to a mass grave and buried.

Their heads, however, were to be displayed on the city wall.

Representatives of prominent families in Zhending Prefecture

I was invited to come and watch.

Those representatives of the great clans,

Pointing at his head, he angrily cursed the traitor.

They also sang praises to His Majesty for eliminating harm for the people.

After they got home,

So frightened, he took out all the property deeds.

Industries without proper documentation were handed over to the government for confiscation.

The property that was divided up from the Jia family,

Even if you have a written contract,

They have to hand it all over.

Chapter 3003 The Killing Begins

Who dares to hoard it?

Get ready to be investigated!

They have received the news.

The killings have started in Gaocheng.

Six people were the first to be executed.

They were all sons of the Dong family and their lackeys.

It involves a murder case from four years ago.

The Liangshan emperor seems to have no intention of leaving Hebei.

Even in the dead of winter, he personally oversaw operations in Zhen Ding Prefecture.

They were determined to bring the powerful clans in various parts of Hebei under control.

Hebei was shrouded in gloom.

Kaifeng, however, was filled with cheers and jubilation.

Going back to more than twenty days ago,

The courier crossed the Yellow River from Chenqiao Town.

Before even entering the city, they were already holding up banners and shouting at the dock.

"A great victory for the royal army!"

"His Majesty personally led the troops to fight against the Jin general at Gaocheng."

"His Majesty has beheaded over ten thousand bandits and captured twenty thousand,"

"The Jin marshal fled in disarray!"

"The royal army has recovered the entire territory of the former Song Dynasty's Hebei and Hebei regions!"

Whether they are peddlers or laborers,

Or high-ranking officials and nobles,

Upon hearing Lubu's report of victory, they all shouted and celebrated.

Li Gang was transferred back to Tokyo for a work review.

He will serve as a political advisor in Hebei next year.

He was unaware of his new position.

They had just arrived in Beijing at this time.

He stayed at his father-in-law Zhang Gen's house.

What are they shouting outside?

Li Gang walked out of the study.

Fan Jun, who also stayed at Zhang Gen's house and devoted himself to his studies,

Then I will study calculus seriously.

They ignored the noise outside.

A servant ran over, shouting joyfully:

"Great news! His Majesty has recovered the entire territory of Hebei and Hebei!"

Li Gang stood there dumbfounded.

It seems she is recalling unpleasant past events.

After a long while, Li Gang wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

He then laughed loudly:

"Great, this is indeed a joyous occasion."

"His Majesty's army is invincible under heaven."

"How could the Jurchen bandits possibly withstand this?"

Fan Jun finally put down his bamboo pen.

He walked up to Li Gang and said:

"Shanxi also reported a great victory a couple of days ago,"

"It's a pity that we haven't recovered our lost territory yet."

"With the might of the Ming army,"

"Perhaps we can recover Shanxi next year,"

"The recapture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is just around the corner."

Although Li Gang didn't understand military affairs...

But he was sent to the countryside for two years of training.

However, they have a deeper understanding of civil affairs:

"There will be no major war next year,"

"Both the northern and southern provinces have experienced several years of war,"

"For more than twenty years, the corrupt and tyrannical emperor and his ministers of the late Song Dynasty levied exorbitant taxes on him."

"The people's strength is already exhausted,"

"This year, all the grain was diverted to the war effort again."

"Even tea and salt certificates were issued at a rate that was two years' worth more."

Fan Jun also realized: "If another major war breaks out next year,"

"This could damage the vitality of the nation."

Li Gang stepped out of the corridor, looked up at the sky, and smiled:

"To see the royal army recover our lost lands, I have no regrets in this life."

Fan Jun said, "Your Majesty's ambitions go far beyond this."

"I'm afraid that after we recover Youyun,"

"The Jin and Western Xia dynasties will also perish,"

"Perhaps we can see the Western Regions become Han territory again."

"Hahahaha!"

Li Gang laughed heartily: "Let's go to town and have some drinks!"

"It's going to be very lively today."

Fan Jun returned to his room and put on his fur coat.

He then followed Li Gang out the door.

As for Zhang Gen's sons,

Apart from those who have already become officials

They've all been sent back to their hometowns to study.

Li and Fan arrived on the street.

Sure enough, it was bustling with activity.

Many restaurants, taverns, and teahouses were packed with customers.

Some entertainment venues,

The artists all changed into festive attire.

And the program was changed at the last minute.

The performance was related to the great victory.

The Goryeo envoys, the monk Myo-cheong and Jeong Ji-sang,

Arriving in Tokyo in late autumn
