Of course, although Geng Nanzhong and the others are not ready to move Cheng Wanli for a while, they are also trying their best to weaken Cheng Wanli's strength.When the imperial court needed a diligent king, the most suitable candidate for the host was Ying Tianfu who stayed behind Cheng Wanli, but the court appointed Hu Zhiru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and a Bachelor of Longtuge, as the host to collect Cheng Wanli's soldiers.
In the name of King Qin, Hu Zhiru, the general manager of the host, took away the main force of the [-] forbidden troops in Yingtianfu, leaving only a small number of forbidden troops and Xiang troops without combat effectiveness for Cheng Wanli.
How did Hu Zhiru know that this move of his was exactly what Ximen Qing and Cheng Wanli wanted.
Ximenqing knew that going to Bianliang City, Tokyo with these untrained forbidden troops was purely sending King Qin to his death, so he persuaded Cheng Wanli not to call King Qin.At this time, Hu Zhiru, the big boss, replaced Cheng Wanli to go to King Qin, which was exactly what he wished for.
Moreover, those forbidden troops with little combat effectiveness are of little use to Ximen Qing, but will instead affect Ximen Qing's control of Nanjing Yingtian Mansion.Therefore, Ximen Qing had already quietly told Cheng Wanli to leave only his confidantes and hand over the rest of the troops to Hu Zhiru to take away.
As soon as Hu Zhiru left Yingtianfu in Nanjing, Ximenqing swaggered into the empty Yingtianfu with [-] elite soldiers on his back, and took over the city defense of Yingtianfu in Nanjing in the name of preventing the Jin army from attacking.
Now Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing is really controlled by Cheng Wanli and Ximen Qing Weng and his son-in-law.
Ximenqing knew that Geng Nanzhong and the other princelings were aiming to gradually weaken Cheng Wanli's strength, and after the Jin army retreated, they would slowly start a political struggle to drive Cheng Wanli and others out of power.However, Ximenqing knew well that whether it was Zhao Huan, Geng Nanzhong or other princelings, they would soon be swept into the dustbin of history, and they would never have a chance to make trouble again.
The world in the future will no longer belong to the Zhao family!
……
Outside Bianliang City in Tokyo, after Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang joined forces, they held another military meeting to discuss how to attack the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Wanyanzong saw that the city wall of Bianliang City in Tokyo was tall and there were many guarding soldiers on it, so he thought it was not easy to break through.Moreover, when Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang led their troops to the south, Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty also sent envoys to the Jin army camp to seek peace with the two marshals. , and the land of the east of the river were ceded to the Kingdom of Jin.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang believed that Chen Bing under the city of Bianliang in Tokyo and forcing the Song Dynasty to cede the land north of the Yellow River achieved the purpose of the Kingdom of Jin sending troops to punish the Song Dynasty.Wanyan Zongwang had no plans to conquer Bianliang City in Tokyo and destroy the Song Dynasty.
The generals in the Jurchen army thought that forcibly attacking the city would increase many casualties, and they were also shaken. Most of them agreed to surrender without fighting and draw the Yellow River as the boundary with the Song Dynasty.
Faced with the generals' opinions that shake the morale of the army, Wanyan Zonghan once again revealed his unique views.Wanyan Zonghan believes that only by completely defeating the Zhao and Song Dynasties can the Kingdom of Jin effectively occupy the land north of the Yellow River.
Facing the densely packed defenders on Bianliang City in Tokyo, Wanyan Zonghan said without fear: "Generals, there is no city in this world that can stop our Jurchen warriors! In my opinion, Bianliang City in Tokyo is not difficult to break through." It is true that there are many defenders in the city, but their soldiers are not skilled, and if they are too many, they will easily become chaotic, which is exactly what our army can take advantage of. The Song army will be defeated, and our army will surely win!"
Wanyan Zonghan is the soul of the Jin Army. When he made up his mind to attack the city, all the generals of the Jin Army united under his banner and decided to storm Bianliang City in Tokyo.
Just when Yan Zonghan was determined to attack the city, the stupid Song Dynasty officials sent the Jin army a sharp weapon for attacking the city as a gift.
In order to prepare for the war, the imperial court once erected a large number of stone cannons outside Fengqiu Gate.However, because the Jin army came too fast, none of the more than 500 stone cannons had time to carry them into the city, and all of them were left in the hands of the Jin army.
Chapter 937 The Lonely Reinforcement
For such a serious mistake, the bureaucrats of the imperial court can only blame each other.
Regarding the fact that the more than [-] stone cannons left in the suburbs were not included in the city, the official of the Ministry of War said: "These stone cannons belong to the imperial court, and the Privy Council should arrange people to enter the city."
The officials of the Privy Council retorted: "The stone cannons outside the city are not under the control of the Privy Council, but are actually under the jurisdiction of the military supervisor and the officials."
How could the eunuchs in the capital office take the blame, and shifted the responsibility to the driving department.
The driving department then shifted the responsibility to the warehouse department.
In this way, all the ministries in the capital have some relationship with the stone cannons outside the city, but they all have excuses to shirk their responsibilities.All in all, there are only people who talk about it in the court, but no one does practical things. In the end, these stone cannons were given to the Jin army as a meeting gift.
After the two armies of the Jin army joined forces, they built a fortress high and showed off their military power under the city of Bianliang in Tokyo.
In order to disintegrate the morale of the defenders, under the arrangement of Wanyan Zonghan, the Jin army expelled the Han people from the counties around Bianliang City in Tokyo to transport stones and log trees under the city, and made various siege equipment to deter the soldiers and civilians in the city.
At this time, there were about 15 Jin troops surrounding Bianliang City in Tokyo, plus more than 10 civilian husbands who were forcibly conscripted, tens of thousands of people were working hard outside the city, sending a message to the soldiers and civilians in the city, that is, the capital city has been completely isolated.
At this time, although there were still [-] defenders in Bianliang City, Tokyo, none of them were the elite of the Song Army.
Among these armies, there are the Forbidden Army of the capital, as well as Yao Gu, Liu Kai, Fan Qiong and other troops who will flee back after the defeat in Taiyuan.
Seeing that the Jin army was building all kinds of siege equipment, the guards and soldiers all changed their expressions.
In order to boost the morale of the defenders, Emperor Zhao Huan and his ministers visited the outer city in person to express condolences to the defenders.
The ministers publicized to the defenders that the imperial court had issued an edict ordering officers and troops from all over the country to enter King Qin of Jing, and within a few days, millions of troops would arrive at the city one after another.Just like the first time the Jin army besieged the city, the capital will eventually be safe and sound.
However, will there really be millions of troops coming to King Qin?
After Hu Zhiru, the general manager of the host, gathered 3 horses from Yingtianfu and Jingdong Road in Nanjing, he hurriedly led the troops westward, intending to enter Jingqin King.
Unexpectedly, the Wanyanchang Department of the Jin Army's East Route Army was blocking Hu Zhiru's westward path.
Wan Yanchang detected Hu Zhiru's army's marching route in advance, and set up an ambush on the way.
Hu Zhiru was ambushed by Wan Yanchang's army, and [-] soldiers and horses were killed in pieces.
The general Hu Zhiru brought out from the capital, the yamen defense envoy Baoyi, and the "Ugly County Horse" Xuanzan protected Hu Zhiru and fled eastward.
Seeing that more and more cavalry of the Jin Army surrounded him, Xuan Zan finished shooting the arrow in his hand, brandished a broadsword to break out of the encirclement, and fled to Yingtianfu in Nanjing.
Hu Zhiru, the general manager of the host road, was shot and killed by the Jin army on his mount, fell off his horse, and was captured alive by the Wanyan Chang army.
After Jin Jun captured Hu Zhiru, he took him to the foot of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and smiled complacently at the defenders on the city: "Hahaha, you southerners, open your eyes and take a look, this is what you are looking forward to. Hu Zhiru, the leader of the reinforcements!
Please tell your little emperor Zhao Huan to open the door early and surrender, and stop doing unnecessary resistance.
You don't have to wait any longer to call in reinforcements.If reinforcements come, they will be defeated, just like this Hu Zhiru!Hahaha~"
On the city wall, the faces of the soldiers and civilians of the capital who saw Hu Zhiru captured were ashen.
The news that the reinforcements were defeated by the Jin army spread from ten to hundreds, and soon spread throughout the capital, causing the soldiers and civilians in the city to be in a state of panic all day long.
At this moment, the news that Zhang Shuye, the head of the South Road, entered Beijing became the life-saving straw for the imperial court to motivate the army.
When the Jin army went south for the second time, the imperial court transferred Zhang Shuye to Dengzhou to serve as the magistrate of the state and concurrently as the governor of the southern capital.
At this time, the Jin army had already approached Bianliang City in Tokyo.After Zhang Shuye took office, he immediately received a letter from Emperor Zhao Huan calling him King Qin.
After Zhang Shuye took the decree, he personally led his two sons Zhang Bofen, Zhang Zhongxiong and 3 people under his command to enter Jingqin King from Dengzhou Starry Night.
When Zhang Shuye's army arrived in Weishi County, southwest of Bianliang City, Tokyo, they encountered the Jin Army Rangers who surrounded the capital.
Zhang Shuye led his army to fight and advance, fighting the Jin army who came to intercept him all the way.After more than [-] casualties, Zhang Shuye led [-] troops to Bianliang City, Tokyo at the end of November.
When the army and civilians in the city were in panic, the arrival of Zhang Shuye's army seemed to light up a bright light in the night, bringing a little hope to Bianliang City in Tokyo.
Emperor Zhao Huan was overjoyed, and personally met Zhang Shuye, the head of the South Road who came to King Qin after a bloody battle at Nanxun Gate.
At this critical moment in the war, Emperor Zhao Huan also seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and successively bestowed Zhang Shuye with the titles of Bachelor of Yankang Palace and Bachelor of Zizheng Palace, and also awarded him the post of signing the Privy Council, and entrusted him to command Tokyo Bian The important task of Liangcheng's military overall situation.
Facing the 10,000+ elite Jin army, Zhang Shuye understood that the Song army would find it difficult to defeat the opponent, so he suggested to Emperor Zhao Huan: "Now the enemy's sharp edge is sharp, please ask the holy car to go to Xiangyang to avoid the army temporarily."
Zhang Shuye's proposal, like Song Huizong's fleeing south to Zhenjiang, and Zhong Shidao's proposal to retreat to Jingzhao Mansion in Shaanxi, is a wise choice to avoid the enemy's edge.
However, the seriousness of the situation has made it impossible for Zhang Shuye to implement the retreat plan.
The Jin army has already overwhelmed the border, and the 8 or [-] horses in Bianliang City in Tokyo cannot guarantee that they can escort the emperor to Xiangyang under the nose of the Jin army.
