[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

After three consecutive days and three nights of artillery attacks, Murong Fu finally stood at the head of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.At that time, the bloodstains on the city wall had not been washed away, and the Xingqing Mansion was filled with a chilling silence.

Murong Fu stretched out his hand to gently caress the crumbling wall, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice.I saw that not only blood was soaked in the gap of the broken wall that was blackened and burst by the artillery, but also a lot of fine bones and flesh were embedded.Xixia has been established for nearly a hundred years, even if it is poorer, it still has some heritage.For example, the city wall of the Xingqing Mansion is so majestic and tall that it is not inferior to the Song Dynasty.And the Dangxiang clan knew that their country was about to die, so they were very brave when they were dying.The fierce battle between the Yanyan army and the garrison of Xingqing Mansion lasted for three days, and the city wall was like a huge meat grinder, strangling the flesh and blood of countless Song and Xixia warriors.It wasn't until three days later that roaring artillery bombarded the west gate of Xingqing Mansion, and Murong Fu's many secret operations in Xixia for many years led to an uprising by the Han people in the city, and the capital of Xixia was completely conquered.

"Come on, hurry up for [-] miles, and report the victory!" Murong Fu exhaled heavily, expelling the bloody smell that filled his chest, and immediately ordered in a deep voice. "On the third day of June in the ninth year of Yuanyou, one hundred thousand soldiers of the Fuyan Army broke through the Xingqing Mansion after three days of hard work. The Empress Dowager Liang of Xixia and Emperor Li Qianshun died for the country! Xixia, dead!"

The pawn accompanying Murong Fu was taking notes quickly, lest he miss a single word.As soon as Murong Fu finished speaking, he immediately clasped his fists in salute, answered "Yes" loudly, and hurriedly walked down the city.Apparently, this pawn was inexplicably excited to be sent to deliver such a good news, and he didn't feel the pain of the long journey.

As soon as the rewarding pawn left, Zhong Shidao, who was also standing by Murong Fu's side, couldn't help asking: "The empress dowager Liang and the emperor of Xixia died for the country?" If the empress dowager of Xia and the emperor died, Who are the mother and son who are now being tightly detained in the Yanyan Army?

Murong Fu nodded casually, and sighed softly: "Yes! The Li family's mother and son were so stubborn that they would rather die than surrender, and even set fire to the Xixia Palace. How many priceless treasures were buried with them! What a pity! What a pity !"

Murong Fu spoke nonsense with his eyes open like this, Zhong Shidao immediately rolled his eyes in choking, and didn't know how to start a conversation for a long time.

But Murong Fu obviously lost his joy of victory at this time, and adjusted his thoughts to the state of work again. "Although the Kingdom of Xia has fallen, what we have to do is just the beginning. It has been occupied by foreign races for nearly a hundred years, and it will take time to mature. Military order prohibits!"

Seeing that Murong Fu turned to the topic, Master Zhong immediately bowed and said loudly: "Please show me, my lord!"

"First, clean up. In the name of Li's mother and son, order the garrisons in all parts of the Xia Kingdom to abandon their weapons and surrender within one month. Those who do not surrender within the time limit will be punished as treason. If they are captured and sent to prison, if their family members are leading troops outside, they can be ordered to summon their family members to surrender, so as to save them from death; for the rest, they can be killed if they ask about their property. To clean up the remnants of the fleeing party, it is better to kill them by mistake than to let them go.”

"Second, appease the people. Order the officers and men of the Yanyan Army to take over the public security in the city, strengthen the security in the city, and suppress riots at any time. Find the Fish Scale Atlas of Xia Guo as soon as possible and show it to me, and at the same time arrange personnel to check the population registration and household registration of Xingqing Prefecture. The process of the check Arson, looting, and adultery are strictly prohibited in China, and those who violate it will be executed. When the ship transporting grain and grass arrives in Hong Kong tomorrow, the grain will be distributed at the standard of one bucket of rice per person per ten days according to household registration."

"Thirdly, question the crime. All the officials of the original Xia State are waiting for investigation, and the powerful in the city restrict their actions and encourage the people in the city to sue. Once the crime is verified, it will be announced to the public immediately. The crime will be punished according to the "Song Xingtong" and all property will be confiscated. "

"Fourth, compensation. Xia Guo provoked a war for no reason, causing the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to suffer damage in the battle. Compensation must be made. After Li's mother and son have surrendered, all the property of the Dangxiang royal family will belong to the Song Dynasty, including the unreasonable family members, high-ranking officials, and criminals." All the wealth of righteousness was also brought back to the state to compensate for the loss of the Song Dynasty. Now the official family is far away in Bianjing, and all the property lists have been sorted out and handed over to the official for disposal."

It was not until he had heard all of Murong Fu's arrangements that he realized how to be a teacher.It turned out that what Murong Fu wanted to embezzle was not a single Xixia palace, but all the property of the entire Xixia upper class.Such insanity is really shocking.He endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but persuaded in a low voice: "If you eat meat, you should leave some soup for the officials!"

Murong Fu was unmoved, and only sneered and said: "I paid for the construction of the Lanqing Line, I presided over the research and development of the flintlock gun and artillery, and I provided the new tactics of the Yanyan Army and the Zhenrong Army." , your food and salaries are paid by me, and I arranged for this war of destroying the country, and I will bear all the food, grass and luggage. Why do the officials share the soup?"

It turned out that the Shu party headed by Su Zhe in the capital had bargained with Zhao Xu several times, but in the end it was only on the condition that Qi Fuzhang Dun was called back to the court as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, in exchange for Zhao Xu to approve Murong Fu's second memorial and allow him to act cheaply Self-raised food and grass.As for Murong Fu's request for the imperial court to allocate grain and grass, there was no news of it.Zhao Xu acted so absurdly that Murong Fu had nothing to say, so he hurriedly summoned Wang Yuyan to sell the "Ping Xia Le Donation Certificate" to raise supplies needed for the war and to appease the people after the war.Now that the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, Murong Fu will naturally share the wealth of the Xia Kingdom with those people who bought the "Ping Xia Le Donation Certificate".

Zhong Shidao also knows that officials don't know what to do, not to mention that Murong Fu can't see it, but who in the Yan Yan army doesn't feel the coldness of blood?But with the remaining loyalty in his heart, Zhong Shidao hesitated for a long time and couldn't help persuading him: "It's better to take Li's mother and son back to offer prisoners, at least it will save the face of the officials."

"What are you wasting that money for?" Unfortunately, Murong Fu is really a penny-pinching cock.According to the etiquette process in the Song Dynasty, once the captives are presented, it is absolutely inevitable that the loess pads and flowers will be paved. There are rituals, music, and singing and dancing. Which one should not cost money?There are even hundreds of officials playing congratulations and touting it. It may be said that several "auspicious" places will be found, which is really a waste of money and people. "Bring the heads of Li's mother and son back to sacrifice to the Taimiao, wouldn't that be the end?"

It is the boss who pays!Zhong Shidao didn't dare to start an argument with Murong Fu, he sneaked a look at the other party's bad tone but his face was fair, and added another sentence cautiously. "Let's put together a few Xia Kingdom's ritual vessels to sacrifice to the Taimiao, or it won't look good!"

Murong Fu was really in a good mood, he nodded after pondering for a moment, and said generously: "Just take a few bronze or wooden ritual vessels as souvenirs for the officials, gold ones are not acceptable!"

Zhong's way of being a teacher almost collapsed, and he lost his voice: "Murong, how can ordinary people dare to use the emperor's sacrificial vessel? So what if you just left a piece of gold for the official?"

Murong Fu glanced at him unmoved, and said firmly: "I will order someone to melt the golden ritual vessels into gold bars, is there any problem? By the way, although the Western Xia Palace is going to be completely demolished, try not to damage it when it is demolished." The bricks and tiles inside are all money!"

Zhong Shidao was speechless in the end, and after holding back for a long time, he managed to force out a sentence: "You are really...stingy!"

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Xiao Feng paid homage to the "Great General of Suppressing Chaos" in mid-May. Because of the urgent military situation, he received the imperial edict from Lord Yelu Hongji on the second day after he left the palace, and rushed to Tongzhou with 15 troops to meet Mr. Yeluren. The 12 troops previously led converge.However, because of Yeluren's repeated defeats first, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, so although Xiao Feng, the "Great General of Suppressing Chaos", claimed to lead 12 troops, in reality he was fully prepared to lead 20 soldiers.Among the [-] people, the servant army accounted for more than half, and the elite leather cavalry only had more than [-] people.Facing the Jurchens who have annexed the Huiba Department and expanded their elite to [-], this battle is really difficult.

Xiao Feng's master of war is Zhong Er, the god of war in the west of the Song Dynasty.And he himself is also talented. Although he has not been following Zhong Er for a long time, he has a very profound understanding of the art of war, and even Zhong Er has praised him several times.After arriving in Tongzhou, Xiao Feng was not in a hurry to raise troops to attack the non-officials, but sent an envoy to Huanglong Mansion to surrender to Wanyan's tribe.

But Wanyan Aguda still remembered Xiao Feng, the great king of the Southern Court who was bent on apologizing to him for being punched several times by him when he went to Beijing.Seeing the envoys coming to surrender, Wanyan Aguda completely dismissed the edict promising the reward, and only smiled: "Your Great King of the Southern Court is a hero. If we want us to surrender, let this Great King Xiao come and talk to me personally. !"

When the news spread back to Tongzhou, several generals under Xiao Feng's tent yelled at him, they even said that Wanyan Agu's beating was a trick to lure the enemy, so Xiao Feng should ignore it.

Unexpectedly, after the military case, Xiao Feng pondered for a while, and said: "I have seen that Wanyan Aguda, he is a good man with blood! If I go there personally, he can convince him of our sincerity, so that we can end the military disaster and not make life miserable , the risk is worth taking.”

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Brother Yelumo rushed forward to persuade him upon hearing the words, "Your Majesty's entire body is now the safety of the whole army, if that Wanyan Aguda doesn't believe what he said and arrests the Majesty..."

Before Brother Yelumo finished speaking, Xiao Feng laughed out loud. "With my martial arts, it's not easy for Wanyan Aguda to keep me!"

But Brother Yelumo shook his head and said solemnly: "On the battlefield, there is never any morality in the world. I'm afraid people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's impossible to guard against!"

Brother Yelumo said this, Xiao Feng immediately recalled those two months trapped in the Shangjing Palace.However, he was kind-hearted after all, and after a while of silence, he still insisted: "I will go alone, except to meet Wanyan Agu to talk about surrendering, and I will not drink or eat, so it will definitely be fine."

Brother Yelumo has served Xiao Feng for more than a year, so he is familiar with his temperament.Seeing that he insisted on going his own way, he no longer forced himself, just sighed and replied: "What's the matter with His Majesty going alone? It's better for the next official to bring Yanyun Eighteen Riders to go with His Majesty to see Wanyan Aguda."

Xiao Feng instinctively wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he realized that this time it was an important matter for the imperial court and not a negotiation in the Jianghu.

It was the deputy general Yeluren who heard the two men's conversation first and found it inconceivable.The general of the Chinese army went deep into the enemy's camp to surrender. Although Yeluren was old in the army, how could he have seen such a general?In case of a fall, how to teach the soldiers what to do?He hastily stepped forward to persuade him: "General Xiao, think twice!"

Xiao Feng shook his head, and replied sincerely: "King Song, I understand what you mean, but I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me. If I miss and get captured, you don't have to care about my life, just follow the method we originally agreed to suppress the rebellion. The army is."

Xiao Feng's way of defeating the enemy, he had frankly told Mr. Yeluren on the way of marching.Now seeing Xiao Feng going deep into the tiger's lair, and entrusting even the army to him unsuspectingly, Yeluren's slight grievances towards Xiao Feng immediately vanished in his heart, instead, he felt infinite admiration for his heroic and upright heart.He immediately replied with a grim voice: "General Xiao, go see Wanyan Aguda in peace, if he dares to touch a single hair of the general, I will slaughter all his clan!"

On the second day, Xiao Feng and Yelu Moge met Wanyan Aguda in the main hall of Huanglong Mansion.

Xu Shi's rebellion against the Liao Dynasty and the successive victories greatly strengthened Wanyan Aguda's self-confidence. When Xiao Feng saw him again this time, Wanyan Aguda was no longer the sincere, simple, passionate ordinary people.Noticing that the other party's words and deeds are decisive, and that there is a hint of mastery that can determine life and death in his gestures, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.He knew that the surrender this time would definitely not succeed.Wanyan Aguda has obviously tasted the sweetness of power, how can he be willing to bow his head and be driven by others?

The development of the matter was as expected by Xiao Feng, Wanyan Aguda listened expressionlessly to the conditions offered to him by the Liao Kingdom read out by Brother Yelumo, without saying a word for a long time.

But Brother Yelumo couldn't hold his breath, seeing that Wanyan Aguda remained silent, he couldn't help but add: "Your Majesty's reward for Wanyan's department is quite generous, Aguda, you have to think carefully!"

Wanyan Agu was silent for a while after meditating on the table, and suddenly smiled, and said slowly: "Pursuing my elder brother, rewarding my father, allowing Wanyan's family to move inward, reducing the tribute by half, it is really kind. But, my brother My father is dead, and my father is old, so what is the use of entrusting them with rewards? And no matter how old or familiar they are, they are always His Majesty's servants; no matter how much tribute they pay, they will eventually pay tribute! As a slave, you must be encouraged by your master; if you need tribute, If there is less, you will be whipped! Does this kindness make any difference, whether you have it or not?"

Brother Yelumo didn't know the meaning of Wanyan Agu's call, and thought that he was still dissatisfied with the conditions of the surrender, so he couldn't help turning his face down immediately.He was about to speak out to reprimand Wanyan Aguda for being greedy, but he noticed that Xiao Feng suddenly reached out his hand to stop him.

I saw Xiao Feng looked up at Wanyan Aguda, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Aguda, I know that Daliao has enslaved Jurchens for many years, and the Jurchens have a lot of resentment. However, the power of Daliao is far beyond what a mere Jurchen can resist. How about you If you continue to be stubborn, it will only lead the Jurchen tribe to perish."

Wanyan Aguda laughed loudly when he heard the words. "I have invaded the Huanglong Mansion since I raised my troops in Changbai Mountain. Instead of being destroyed, the Jurchen has become stronger and stronger! It is the Khitan who will perish, not the Jurchen!"

Seeing Wanyan Aguda's arrogant appearance, Xiao Feng couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and asked softly: "How many bullets do you have left?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued. "As long as the flintlock gun has bullets, even a child can control it. If the Song Dynasty is going to perish in Khitan, why do you need Jurchen to do it for you?"

Xiao Feng's two sentences finally hit Wanyan Aguda's mind.However, he also knew that once the Jurchen raised troops, he would fight against the Khitan forever, so he only said: "The Han people are using the Jurchen, how can you know that the Jurchen is also using the Han people? The world is so big, it is not yet known who will die in the future!"

Another dream of an emperor!Xiao Feng couldn't help sighing heavily in his heart.For some reason, he suddenly became bored with everything in front of him. If he hadn't thought about the countless innocent people, women and children who were involved in the flames of war, he might have walked away on the spot. "Even if you win the Daliao, so what? If you win, it's a tragic victory. Can you still be the opponent of the Han people? Brother Aguda, the Han people are now strong again. We alien races can only live in peace if we hold together! "

"Yes," Wanyan Aguda said without hesitation, "as long as Yelu Hongji treats me as master!"

"Presumptuous!" Brother Yelumo immediately stood up and reprimanded angrily.

Wanyan Aguda has plausible words. "The Khitan people are human beings, and the Jurchen people are also human beings. Since everyone is human, why is it that the Jurchen people are slaves to the Khitans for life after life, but not the Khitan people who are slaves to the Jurchen life after life?"

Speaking of this, the only way to see the truth is on the battlefield.

But Wanyan Aguda kept his word, he let Xiao Feng go easily without embarrassing him.Before Xiao Feng left, Wanyan Aguda smiled and said to him: "Xiao Feng, you are a hero, we Jurchens have always admired heroes the most, so I let you go. It's just that I bought you a drink just now but you didn't dare to drink it. Compared with the previous years, the heroic spirit has been reduced a lot."

As soon as Wanyan Aguda uttered these words of blatant praise and slander, all the soldiers around him laughed in unison.

Brother Yelumo was about to get angry, but Xiao Feng stretched out his hand to stop him.I saw Xiao Feng looked at Wanyan Aguda with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Brother Aguda, you are really like a friend of mine. At that time, I also laughed at him like you laughed at me. Until now , I finally understood his mood at that time and my stupidity at that time. It's a pity..."

Wanyan Aguda saw that the eyes of such an upright hero such as Xiao Feng also revealed the regret of the past, he was surprised inexplicably, and couldn't help asking: "Who is that friend?"

"You have seen him, Brother Aguda." Wanyan Aguda asked this question, Xiao Feng instantly woke up, and smiled bitterly. "But I hope you never see him again!"

"Why is this?" Wanyan Aguda was curious.

"Because he will definitely kill you!" Xiao Feng replied clearly.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Feng: Why do so many people in this world want to dream of being an emperor?

Murong: Spring dream!
