Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Just a month ago, my daughter-in-law was walking on the street and was seen by a golden soldier! The golden soldier abused my daughter-in-law in the street. My son couldn't see it, and wanted to fight with the golden soldier! Several golden soldiers They rushed over together and pushed my son to the ground! The daughter-in-law couldn't bear the humiliation and bit her tongue to kill herself! Those golden soldiers chopped my son into several pieces! Afterwards, they found out the address of my home and killed my poor son. The corpse was thrown at home, and then they robbed my house wantonly, and all the valuables were taken away by them! My two daughters who have not yet left the cabinet were also raped to death by them! The old man was thrown to the ground by them and could not get up. After stepping hard on my body a few times, I left!" the old man cried.

Zhao Chen frowned.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens are cruel, they are simply not human! My child is only four years old. When he was playing outside, several Jurchens came over. Those Jurchens didn't know what they were talking about, and then they stopped me. My child! Later, my child’s voice became smaller and smaller. When the Jurchens finally left, my child had already died. I still remember his painful expression when he was dying! He was only four years old, and he was treated like this Torture!" A tall and thin middle-aged man cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, my husband was also killed by the Jurchens! The Jurchens made them do labor, from morning to night, from night to morning, without a moment's rest. My husband was whipped by them just because he accidentally took a nap. Smash to death!" a woman cried.

There were crying sounds everywhere, and the people in Chang'an City were weeping bitterly, telling about their miserable life in the past two years! In the past two years, I don’t know how many Han people have been brutally beaten to death. As for the suffering, suffering, cold and starvation, it is everywhere. Almost all the Han people in Chang’an "enjoy" such treatment!

Zhao Chen stood there feeling very uncomfortable!

Originally, he took down Chang'an, and he was in a good mood! But at this moment, he can only mourn!

In two years, the people of Chang'an City have encountered so many disasters! Like other places in the Central Plains, needless to say, the disasters encountered by the people there will never be less than those in Chang'an! Historically, when the Jurchen went south, more than 10 million Han people died, and when the Mongols went south, the Han people died more than 50 million! Every foreign invasion is a huge disaster for the Han people! Like the internal war among the Han people, although there are military disasters, it will never be to the point of subjugation and extinction. For one's own people, it is impossible for anyone to really completely exterminate them! Only foreigners can be so ruthless!

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely avenge you! I will definitely not let the Jurchen barbarians go! I have been dormant in Hanzhong for two years. Conquering Guanshan and Chang'an is only the first step! In the future, I will conquer the entire Central Plains, I will I will go to the hometown of the Jurchens to subdue the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which were lost during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, so that they will never dare to have the slightest ambition again, and let them pay for their sins. Pay the price!" Zhao Chen said.

"Is what His Majesty said true?" The old man who spoke first asked excitedly.

"Of course it is true! Speaking of it, I, the Zhao family, are sorry for everyone! My father and grandfather did not do well, the country was corrupt, and the military was lax. What the ancestors and Emperor Taizong did was also a bit bad. They promoted culture and suppressed martial arts, which made our Song Dynasty's military strength inferior to that of the previous generation. This is why there were all kinds of disasters later. Whether it was Khitan, Xixia, or Jurchen, they could invade the Song Dynasty Harm to our people! From now on, I will change the rules of my ancestors, and I will never promote culture and suppress martial arts. I will do my best to develop armaments and fight the Jurchen!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang Shu next to him was taken aback, thinking that Zhao Chen was going to completely change the national policy. If this word spread to Hanzhong, Jiangnan and other places, scholars everywhere would be in an uproar! You must know that after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the national policy of promoting literature and suppressing martial arts has been implemented for more than a hundred years, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! In the hearts of common people in the Great Song Dynasty, the status of literati is far higher than that of warriors. Scholars everywhere look down on those ordinary soldiers. In their view, those soldiers are all humble! Even ordinary soldiers and warriors naturally think that their status is not as good as those scholars! But now, Zhao Chen wants to change everything! If this is reported back to Hanzhong, wouldn't it be a mess?

Wang Shu was nervous, thinking that this news must not be let out! He looked at the imperial soldiers around him, thinking that he must warn these imperial soldiers not to talk nonsense later!

But the people of Chang'an City were overjoyed when they heard this! After experiencing such a catastrophe, the people of Chang'an City wished that the military strength of the Song Dynasty would be invincible in the world, and they had long begun to cast aside the so-called "promotion of literature and suppression of martial arts"!

"Your Majesty is wise!" Countless people knelt there and said excitedly.

"I swear today that I will definitely drive out the Tartars in my lifetime! I will devote all my time and energy to this matter, and strive for it endlessly! I will definitely compensate the people and let the people live a better life than before the Jurchens invaded." Live!" Zhao Chen said.

Needless to say the grief in his heart, at this moment Yue Fei came to the city wall and strode towards Zhao Chen.

"Is the battle in the city over?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The battle in the city is over, and the remaining Jurchen and Khitan people in the city have also been subdued by us...Your Majesty, we will finally get some news." Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, then said.

"What news?" Zhao Chen said.

"This..." Yue Fei hesitated to speak.

"Speak quickly!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, these words must not be heard by others!" Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded, he and Yue Fei came to the side, and said, "Is it okay to talk now?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has passed away!" Yue Fei said softly.

"What!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and stayed there!

The so-called empress dowager is Song Qinzong's empress Zhu, who is also Zhao Chen's biological mother! Empress Zhu was taken to Huining Mansion by the Jurchens. The Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu begged for money and wanted to humiliate Empress Zhu. Empress Zhu committed suicide by jumping into the river! Yue Fei got the news when he was interrogating several Jurchen generals, so he rushed to report!

Zhao Chen stayed there, tears streaming from his eyes!

He has only stayed in Kaifeng for more than half a year, and he has only been with Empress Zhu for half a year! But he knew that Empress Zhu really loved him, and he really felt the existence of maternal love from Empress Zhu! There is also a mother-child relationship between them! In this era, men and women get married early and have children early. Empress Zhu is only sixteen years older than him, so she was less than thirty years old when she died! Such an age was in full bloom, yet he died in the hands of the Jurchens! His own mother died in the hands of the Jurchens in this way!

"My condolences, Your Majesty!" Yue Fei knelt down on the ground and said.

"I have this hatred in mind! I will settle accounts with the Jurchens in the future! Our strength is not as good as theirs right now, we still need to develop for a few years!" Zhao Chen gritted his teeth.

*****

Half a month has passed since the Battle of Chang'an, and it's already the first day of February!

At this moment, Guanshan has gradually calmed down, and Zhao Chen did not launch an attack on northern Shaanxi. On the one hand, there are many Jurchen garrisons in northern Shaanxi, and on the other hand, there are still many rebels in northern Shaanxi. The situation there is very complicated! Moreover, the Forbidden Army, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army experienced a great battle, and there were many casualties, and new troops needed to be added! Chang'an and other places have just been defeated, and they also need to give birth and rest, and the people in these places need to be able to survive first, so the fighting here has stopped in a short time!

But in the Central Plains of Henan, there are still endless battles here!

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi led an army of 150,000 Jurchen troops here, and Zongze deployed more than two million volunteers here!

Zong Ze is also a famous official of a generation, quite resourceful, at this time Zong Ze actually adopted the guerrilla tactics of Hedong! The two million rebels are scattered across the Central Plains. They don't fight the Jurchens head-on, but keep sneaking up on the Jurchens' food roads, which makes the Jurchens exhausted!

Occasionally, Zong Ze also commanded the rebel army to launch some attacks, which also caused a lot of losses to the Jurchens!

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi are trapped here, and it is difficult to get out for a while!

But the two of them were just irritated, not worried! In their view, these rebels are only guerrilla fighters, and it is almost impossible to cause large-scale damage to the Jurchen army!

They are just waiting for the food and grass to arrive. At that time, they will ignore these things and go directly south!

On the third day of February, Wanyan Loushi was in the city of Kaifeng, and they had already taken it down again! At this time, several Jurchen soldiers ran over!

"What happened?" Wanyan Loushi asked immediately.

"General, something is wrong. The Han people in Guanshan launched a large-scale attack. The female general Wanyan Huo was defeated by them. Now her life and death are unknown!" A Jurchen knelt on the ground and said.

"What? How is it possible?" Wanyan Loushi said in surprise.

He frowned, shook his head after a while and said: "This is definitely not true! The Han people are incompetent and cowardly, they will not be our opponents! There are many soldiers and horses in the living women, and our Jurchens are invincible, and we will never lose!"

The Jurchen below knelt there and said, "General, this is true, absolutely true!"

Wanyan Loushi felt a little anxious in his heart, and said: "I'll go and tell the second prince, if possible, I want to go back and have a look!"

Now Wanyan Loushi asked to see Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongwang felt that Wanyan Loushi was completely overwhelmed, but Wanyan Loushi was very persistent, so Wanyan Zongwang ordered Wanyan Loushi to lead 10,000 people to Tongguan!

Now Wanyan Loushi led ten thousand people towards the north, and on the seventh day of February, they came to the Yellow River! At this time, the Yellow River was still not unblocked. They walked across the ice on the Yellow River. When they came to the bottom of Tongguan, Wanyan Loushi shouted: "Quickly open the city gate!"
