The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.
Chapter 64: Anyone taller than a wheel will be executed? What about those shorter than a wheel?
Zhongdu, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
After learning of the Jin dynasty's crushing defeat in the Battle of Pingyuan, where they were outnumbered and outgunned, Wanyan Sheng remained seated in a daze.
The courtiers below also wore mournful expressions.
Each of them knew perfectly well what the Jin army had done when they set foot in the Song Dynasty.
Looting and massacres were commonplace.
They plundered countless riches from the Song Dynasty and brought them to Zhongdu.
Countless ordinary people of the Song Dynasty are still toiling away in their household to this day.
This is an unresolved blood feud!
How many troops are still stationed in Zhongdu?
After an unknown period of silence, Wanyan Sheng finally spoke and asked.
"Less than 20,000."
To ensure the annihilation of the Song Dynasty in a single battle, the Jin army deployed its last elite forces.
The remaining 20,000 people are nothing but the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled!
"Where has Emperor Taizu of Song's army arrived?"
Wanyan Sheng asked again.
"At his current rate of conquest, he will be able to reach Zhongdu within two months at the latest."
This was only because the Song army refused to surrender and would massacre the inhabitants of each city they captured for three days; otherwise, it would have been even faster!
"By imperial decree, conscript soldiers!"
"Shoulder all costs, forcibly conscript them, with at least two male members from each household!"
Wanyan Sheng knew that nothing could have a more serious consequence than the Song army capturing Zhongdu!
Even if forcibly conscripting him would completely enrage the public, and even threaten his throne, it would be better than having his city massacred and his people exterminated by the Song people!
"Your Majesty, most of the able-bodied men in Zhongdu have already died in battle. Even if we forcibly conscript them, most of them will be old, weak, sick, or disabled. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the elite troops of the Song Dynasty!"
The defense of Bianjing, the capture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the fierce battle outside the border.
While it's not said that every family in China wears mourning clothes, it's pretty much the same.
"We have to hold them off even if we can't. Do you, my dear ministers, really think you can survive once Zhongdu is breached?"
"Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty clearly came with the intention of annihilating our clan. If we cannot hold on, not only will I, but all of you and your families will not survive!"
I knew this, why should I be at the beginning?
Wanyan Sheng's words brought most officials from their beautiful fantasies to the bloody reality.
When the Song Dynasty retreated one step, they advanced ten steps.
As the Song Dynasty court retreated step by step, they pressed closer and closer.
On the surface, they agreed to negotiate peace, but in reality, they lured Zhao Huan and his son Zhao Ji to the city and then continued the siege.
They practically turned Bianjing into a dead city. To now imagine that Zhao Kuangyin would show mercy is simply a joke!
"The only way is through forced conscription. Each household must provide two male members. If there are not enough male members, women will fill the gap. If there are not enough women, the elderly and children will fill the gap!"
"Even if I were to abdicate, it would have to be after we've stopped the Song army!"
Wanyan Sheng made a conclusion about the current situation.
Beyond the sky.
Li Er watched with a series of cold laughs.
Zhao Kuangyin led his army in a counterattack; did he realize he was afraid?
Unfortunately, it's too late!
The grievances of the unjustly killed people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, Bianjing, and the entire Central Plains must be repaid with blood!
"Anyone taller than a cartwheel will be executed?"
"What about those shorter than a wheel?"
While most people were expressing their relief and joy, Xiang Yu suddenly asked a strange question.
It must be said that although the focus is a bit strange, it has indeed aroused the curiosity of many people.
Old Zhu glanced at the scene in the sky and said calmly.
"Lower than a wheel? If someone could actually be lower than a lying wheel, that would be a wonder of the world, and it would be nice to keep it for viewing."
Zhao Kuangyin swept through the land, leaving no survivors.
Lower than the wheel?
Then lay the wheel flat and measure it again!
In this counterattack, Zhao Kuangyin gave his soldiers only two words as his decree.
Extinction!
Apart from the Song people who were captured and enslaved by the Jin Dynasty, no one was spared!
On the other side of the screen.
Under Wanyan Sheng's decree of forced conscription, when Zhao Kuangyin led his army to attack Zhongdu, he did indeed forcibly raise an army of nearly 200,000.
Unfortunately, most of them were elderly people, children, and women.
After a single charge on the main battlefield, they were completely routed.
They watched helplessly as the Song army erected siege ladders and stormed into Zhongdu.
When Wanyan Sheng saw Zhao Kuangyin standing in front of him, his eyes were filled with despair.
"Despair? The people of Bianjing, the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, my subjects, were once just as desperate."
“But you did not give them a chance, and today I will not give you Jurchens a chance either.”
"Do you want to be more dignified, or do you want to rebel?"
Zhao Kuangyin said coldly.
"Ha, I am powerless to resist, so I will not struggle in vain. Emperor Taizu of Song, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, I am not afraid!"
Wanyan Sheng turned and walked into the back hall.
Zhao Kuangyin gave a wink to several of his personal guards.
If he is respectable, then let him be respectable.
If he is not dignified, then you should help him be dignified.
Regardless of whether it's dignified or not, the punishment of being slowly sliced into three thousand cuts is to be exact, not a single cut can be omitted!
The civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty who had their hands stained with the blood of the people of the Song Dynasty received the same treatment.
Only a few ministers who advocated peaceful coexistence with the Song Dynasty were spared their lives.
Once again, long queues formed at the execution ground in Zhongdu.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't bother to watch the rest of the bloody scenes.
Three days later, Emperor Taizu held a ceremony in Zhongdu to reward those who had made contributions.
According to statistics compiled by some people.
Before the Song Dynasty attacked the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty had about seven million people.
After this battle, the total number of Jurchens hiding in various places was less than 100,000!
Although they were not wiped out, from this day forward, the Jurchens will never have another chance to rise again!
Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, successfully completed the challenge.
Reward: Thirty years of lifespan, and ten years of favorable weather for the dynasty to which you belong.
Yue Fei's assistant was rewarded with fifteen years of his life!
As the subtitles appeared on the screen, Zhao Kuangyin's challenge came to an end.
Standing in Zhongdu and gazing at the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, Old Zhao felt boundless ambition rising in his heart.
If he was able to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun in this challenge, he can do the same in his own era!
The Jin Dynasty has already submitted to him, and the Liao Dynasty will not fare any worse!
"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, indeed, I should have taken them back sooner!"
At the end of the scene, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed, we should take it back as soon as possible. If we haven't even been able to recover all the territory, it's debatable whether the Song Dynasty can be called a unified dynasty!"
Old Zhu then commented in the live chat.
Zhao Kuangyin: "?"
Is there still any controversy about this?
We can't wait any longer, we'll summon all civil and military officials tomorrow to discuss this!
"Next, Immortal, who will be the next tyrant? I've been rejected so many times already, please let me participate again!"
Li Er didn't care much about what the two people said; he was more concerned about the immortal's next challenge and the reward for that challenge!
As if hearing his call, the subtitles on the sky gradually changed.
The list of tyrannical rulers has been updated again!
[Top Ten Worst Rulers in History]
Fourth: Liu Hong, the twelfth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
His debauchery was rampant; he sold official positions on a large scale, built extravagant palaces, and heavily relied on eunuchs, causing the people to suffer greatly!
The culprit behind the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong!
