Chapter 315

Most of the Jurchen generals in the Dajin Kingdom came from the clan or the powerful leader of Meng'an Muke.Only Wanyan Heda is an outlier.

Although his surname is Wanyan, he has a very distant blood relationship with the royal family. Therefore, after he joined the army as a young man, he started his career as a guard against the armored army, and fought against the Mongolian army on the grassland for several consecutive years. So bold.

But even so, the chronic disease of the Dajin army is already deep, if Wanyan Heda is not supported by the nobles, he will reach the peak if he has a thousand households and a jurisdiction in this life.

Last year when Juyongguan was lost, Wanyan Heda entered the central capital with the defeated army. It was the prime minister, Tu Shanyi, who recognized talents with his eyes, and promoted him. It was also Tu Shanyi who operated through his own connections, so that Wanyan Heda obtained the status of a close servant. , and then won the favor of the emperor, all the way to prosperity.

But Wanyan Heda was never loyal to the emperor.He is loyal to the Kingdom of Jin itself, the dynasty that the Jurchen ancestors worked so hard to establish in the white mountains and black waters.

And the more loyal he is to this dynasty, the more angry he is with the status quo of the mediocre and cowardly ruler of the Dajin Kingdom, and the more sympathetic he is to the soldiers and civilians who are struggling to survive under the rule of the Dajin Kingdom.

That's why he followed Tu Danyi's arrangement to take King Sui out of Beijing.

It was because he was convinced that only in this way could the unsteady emperor stay in Daxing Mansion in the central capital honestly and muster up the courage to face Mongolia; and only in this way could King Sui and his supporters be free from restraint Put your talents to good use, starting from Nanjing Road, gather the army and civilians, and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

As for Yang An'er, Wanyan Heda never took him seriously.

A few days ago, Yang An'er ascended the throne in Dongping Mansion, proclaimed himself Emperor of the Han Dynasty, appointed hundreds of civil and military officials, and immediately sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the west.To this day, Yang An'er's "Royal Driver" has gone straight to the city of Danzhou.But Wanyan Heda didn't panic at all.

When Yang An'er was still serving as the commander of Tiewa Ganzhan Army in Northern Xinjiang, Wanyan Heda had some dealings with him and knew what kind of person he was.In the final analysis, Yang An'er is just an ordinary warrior.His talent and insight may not surpass Wanyan Heda, and he is not a figure of Zhao Jianguo Dynasty at all. .

The reason why he was able to win the hearts of the people was not because of his extraordinary qualities, but because of the poor management of Dajin Kingdom itself!

It's Dajin Kingdom itself, generations of corrupt officials and idiots who have expropriated and expropriated and recklessly acted recklessly in Shandong for decades and lost the hearts of the people. They pushed the people to Yang An'er!

These people should have been the foundation of the Great Jin Kingdom, and they were obedient citizens who An Anfen provided for the Jurchens!Now they have become rebels, rebelling with Yang An'er, a monkey-crowned bastard...

Wanyan Heda sympathized with the people who had suffered all kinds of hardships and struggled to survive, but he did not sympathize with the traitors.For the traitors, there is only one way to kill them.

Kill them until they are afraid, kill them to pain, kill them to kneel down and beg for mercy, just like what the Jurchen's brave and powerful ancestors did when they rushed out of the white mountains and black waters.

It's nothing more than conquering again.

"Emperor Han"?
joke.Wanyan Heda has read Han'er's books, and knows that the word "Han" in Han'er comes from the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago.Yang An'er gave herself this country title, presumably because she wanted to revive Han'er's prestige.

But the men have long since lost their prestige!

Back then when the Daliao army was prospering, the emperor who had beaten Han'er many times made him cry for his father and mother.In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an emperor who abandoned hundreds of thousands of his subordinates and rode in a donkey cart to escape the pursuit of the Khitan cavalry. Later, when the great gold rose, he searched the mountains and seas, scaring another Song emperor into an eunuch.

People like Yang An'er may feel that the Han'er have gradually become the main force of the Dajin army over the years, so they began to ignore the Jurchens.But Wanyan Heda would tell them that the strength of the Jurchen is still there, and Dajin is still the unshakable master of the domain.

Dealing with these scattered and ignorant mobs is just sharpening the knife.After sharpening the knife, we still have to fight the Mongols!

"In the barracks outside the city, the archers of each team shoot their positions! The drums are beating in the city and the generals are gathered! The armored soldiers of the headquarters are ready to attack!"

Wanyan Heda, who has always been steady and resolute, gave orders loudly and showed a beastly smile.

At the head of Shanzhou City, dozens of skin drums were beating rumblingly, which almost suppressed the sound of mountains and tsunami outside the city for a while.

Wanyan Heda guessed right, Yang An'er was just outside the city.

When Yang An'er set off from Dongping Mansion, he was accompanied by the emperor's brochure that he had pieced together over the past few months, including hundreds of flags, the front and rear four teams preaching, and the Banjian and Yidao teams of two hundred, as well as door flags, driving heads, and jade scorpions. , Jinren, Jinxian cars, Leopard tail cars, etc., countless.

But Yang An'er quickly left the guard of honor far behind, and led Qingqi to the front line of Shanzhou.

At this time, he led the specially selected cavalry and galloped freely amidst the cheers of the soldiers. Wherever he went, he kept waving his arms, and then aroused waves of shouts in the huge army formation.

Yang An'er heard more and more soldiers shouting long live.

When he saw the knights around him, many of them grinned and tried their best to puff up their chests, putting on a manly and high-spirited look.

So he also straightened his chest, picked up the spear casually, and waved it in the air again and again.

In order to let more soldiers see his brave posture, he accelerated the horse and reined in several times to make the horseman stand up.

When he finally returned to the central army, both men and horses were sweating profusely, and white air was steaming from the gaps in his shining golden armor.

The subordinates quickly came up to remove and wipe his armor, and someone knelt aside holding a drink, waiting for him to take it.

The surrounding generals also praised Yang An'er's spirit one after another. Some said it was comparable to Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, while others said it was more like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Only Liu Erzu and a few others stood back, not participating in the increasingly ardent flattery.

Yang An'er thought for a while, and waved everyone back.He said: "There is still time for the two rounds, I will rest for a while."

When the generals were leaving, he said again: "Marshal Liu, please stay."

Liu Erzu turned back, shuffled his feet, and stood beside Yang An'er with the steps of an old farmer.

Yang An'er has become the emperor, but Liu Erzu still looks the same, not showing much respect or restraint.

"Old Liu, guess what I thought of just now?"

"do not know."

Yang An'er was a little emotional: "We mobilized 30 troops this time. In fact, there are more than 7 people, among whom more than 2 are well-trained and well-equipped. When I look at so many soldiers, I feel as if I saw the sea. The tide of people rises and falls, just like the tide of the sea, and their shouts are also like the roar of the tide."

"That's pretty impressive."

"Then I thought..." Yang An'er sighed: "I, Yang An'er, will I be a giant ship on the sea, riding the momentum of the tide? Or, I am a wave on the tide, disappearing and appearing are the same How fast is it?"

Liu Erzu chuckled.

No wonder Yang An'er wanted to tell the generals to back off. The leader of the Red Coat Army, who always showed the image of a brave general, was a little nervous.

The status of the emperor made the ordinary soldiers of the Red Coat Army respect Yang An'er even more, but Yang An'er herself hadn't fainted yet.He still remembered that he was just a rebel leader, even if he became emperor, his foundation was still shallow; even with an unprecedented army, it was still dangerous to fight against the elite soldiers of the imperial court.

The Red Coat Army has many weaknesses.

Even if there is a well-trained elite army as the backbone, the Red Coat Army is still essentially a group of peasants who cannot survive.

They only want to get rid of the cruel oppression of the court, and only want to vent their hatred that has been hard for a long time.But otherwise, they don't know what to do.

This determined that after the Red Coat Army occupied more than half of Shandong, they could not firmly control the place.Even armies, which grew in size, became more and more unruly, and less and less like an army.

Yang An'er saw all these situations, just as Liu Erzu also saw them.It's a pity that even if they see it, they don't have a solution; there are still some problems that they have a solution, but they are limited by the situation and cannot be implemented at all.

Therefore, the soldiers only need to cheer.But when they got to Yang An'er and Liu Erzu's positions, they became more and more aware that the road ahead was extremely difficult.

But so what?Anyway, it's useless to think too much, why bother?
Liu Erzu said calmly: "For decades, the imperial court has treated us like ants and killed us like mowing grass. Now we hold swords in hand, gather tens of thousands of people, and kill the imperial army like mowing grass. This is what I look forward to day and night, very much Take it easy...just take it easy."

Yang An'er looked at her old partner and laughed loudly: "Yes, the important thing is to have fun!"
