Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

At this moment, hundreds of soldiers of the Song Army rushed out at the city gate of Yanjing. They came to Zhao Chen and knelt down.

These are the soldiers who entered Yanjing City before, and they are now the defenders here.

In addition to them, there was another young man in his twenties who came to Zhao Chen with a surprised smile on his face, and said, "My minister Hu Quan sees Your Majesty!"

"How is it? How is the situation in Yanjing City now?" Zhao Chen was also very happy to see Hu Quan, and smiled.

"Your Majesty, it's not very good." Hu Quan said with a serious face.

"Let's go, let's go into the city and talk as soon as we go." Zhao Chen said.

At present, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Zhang Xian, Hu Quan and others entered the city of Yanjing surrounded by the army.

After entering Yanjing City, Zhao Chen discovered that the roads in Yanjing City are very spacious, far better than Hanzhong and Lin'an! Even Chang'an City doesn't have such wide roads!

People from the Liao Kingdom have been operating Yanjing City for more than 200 years. They have been the largest country in East Asia for 200 years. This is the accompanying capital. With the power of one country to build this place, it will naturally surpass Hanzhong, Lin'an and other places! As for Chang'an, after countless wars, many places have been destroyed, and Chang'an has been rebuilt several times.

They walked forward on the avenue, and the surroundings were very quiet, no other sounds could be heard, and no one could be seen coming.

There are also countless shops on the street, but these shops are closed now, and no one comes in or out.

"What's going on?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, the Khitan people tried to rebel two days ago and killed people everywhere in Yanjing City. Therefore, the people of Yanjing City are hiding at home these days and dare not come out." Hu Quan said.

"Where are those rebellious Khitans?" Zhao Chen asked.

"All have been killed!" Hu Quan said.

"Are things like this common?" Zhao Chen asked.

"It has been more than three months since Wei Chen came to Yanjing City. During the three months, there have been several times every month! We have a limited number of soldiers and horses in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and we can only guard important strongholds. !Although the scale of the Khitan rebellion is limited, it will take a long time to pacify each time, and each time will cause great damage! Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent, and cannot completely stabilize the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun." Hu Quan felt a little ashamed road.

"It's not about your ability. It's about eliminating the Central Plains Jurchen before. Whether it's the Military Aircraft Department, the General Staff Headquarters, or the command of each army, all eyes are on the 200,000 Jurchen. Hundreds of thousands of troops are distributed in the Central Plains. We I don’t have time to deal with Yan Yun’s affairs! But now, we have withdrawn our hands, 200,000 Jurchens have been wiped out, and we will have more than 100,000 troops entering Yan Yun. If there are any clowns in Yan Yun, we will kill them all.” Zhao Chen said.

"This is really great! In fact, in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the number of our Han people is several times that of the Khitan people, but the Han people here have been ruled by the Khitan people for two hundred years, and they are afraid of the Khitan people! Even if we come here The Han people in Yanyun are still afraid of the Khitan people! If the Han people in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are willing to support us, we will not be afraid of the Khitan even if we don’t have a large army.” Hu Quan said.

"The reason why the Han people in Yanyun shrink back is because our Great Song Dynasty has performed so poorly in the past two hundred years, and our Great Song Dynasty cannot give them any confidence! This time I am here, I will naturally give them confidence! " Zhao Chen said.

Hu Quan nodded.

"Liu Aiqing, you used to be the guard of Yanjing. Come and tell me about the situation in Yanjing City." Zhao Chen looked at a tall middle-aged man beside him and said.

This middle-aged man is Liu Yanzong, who was left behind in Yanjing, and he has already joined the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the entire Yanjing City is divided into three parts, namely the Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City! The Imperial City is where the emperor lives. After the Jurchen invasion, the royal family of the Liao Kingdom came to Yanjing City and lived there. The inner city is where the Khitan nobles live, but after the Jurchens occupied Yanjing City, most of the Khitan nobles were killed, and there is already an empty area! The outer city is where some Khitan civilians and us Han people live In the entire city of Yanjing, the number of Khitan people is actually more than that of us Han people, of course, in other places in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, we Han people are going to outnumber the Khitan people." Liu Yanzong said.

"Your Majesty, now there are Khitans in the inner city!" Hu Quan said.

"Didn't it mean that the Khitan nobles have been killed by the Jurchens?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

The Jurchens hate the Khitan people the most! The main reason why Wanyan Aguda raised troops back then was that the Khitan people were too oppressive, so they had no choice but to raise troops! After the establishment of the Great Jin Kingdom, except for Yelu Dashi who led some soldiers and horses to escape, the rest of the Khitan nobles were almost all killed by Wanyan Aguda! After more than a hundred years, the people of the Jin Kingdom continued to torture and destroy the Khitan people, so that in later generations, the Khitan people disappeared completely! So Zhao Chen was surprised at this moment.

"Your Majesty, after we captured Yanjing City, some Khitans took the opportunity to come to the inner city. They claimed that the courtyards and houses in the inner city were left by their Khitans and should belong to them! Now there are many people in the inner city. There are very few Khitan people! In fact, when we first came to Yanjing City, there were some Khitan people who wanted to enter the palace, but we drove them out." Hu Quan said.

"We occupied Yanjing City, those unowned houses naturally belong to the imperial court! These people will naturally be driven out from the inner city!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"But in this way, will it anger Khitan?" Hu Quan asked.

"Enrage Khitan? Why are the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun unstable? The main reason is that the Khitan people look down on us Han people! In the past two hundred years, we have failed too many times in front of the Khitan people. Even Taizu and Taizong also failed in front of the Khitan people." Even though we defeated the Jurchen and occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Khitans still look down on us Han people! The weaker we are, the more arrogant the Khitans are, the more they disobey our rule, the more they want to rebel! Therefore, Only by severely suppressing them can the Khitan people submit!" Zhao Chen said.

Hu Quan pondered for a long time on the horse, and then nodded.

Everyone rode their horses and galloped on the avenue of Yanjing City, and there were hardly any people seen along the way.

The area of ​​Yanjing City is huge, and it took a quarter of an hour before they entered the inner city.

After entering here, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen and others suddenly discovered that this place is completely different from the outer city!

The buildings here are magnificent and there are many tall houses, but more importantly, there are many people on the road here, and many Khitan people are active here!

Seeing Zhao Chen and the others coming, those Khitan people were not afraid, but looked at this side happily.

Seeing that Zhao Chen's clothes were different, those Khitan people showed some surprised eyes, but more of them were disdainful.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Chen couldn't help frowning.

He ignored these Khitan people, but continued to move forward.

However, just after walking a few steps, a dozen Khitan youths suddenly blocked the road ahead.

The dozen or so Khitan youths kept shouting there.

"What are they talking about?" Zhao Chen asked, pointing forward.

He couldn't understand Khitan, so he had to ask the people around him.

"Your Majesty, they say that the Sixteenth Yanyun Prefecture is the territory of the Khitans, and let us Han people get out of the Sixteenth Yanyun Prefecture, and..." Yu Yunwen next to him suddenly stopped, with a hesitant look on his face.

"What else? Say it!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"They asked Your Majesty if you were the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and they said... Your Majesty, you should get off your horse and kneel before the Khitan people, so that the Khitan people will spare your life. They said that we Han people are born slaves of the Khitan people. Make cattle and horses for the Khitan people, for the Khitan people to rule." Yu Yunwen said in a very low voice.

Zhao Chen didn't have any expression on his face, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.

A dozen or so Khitan youths over there still pointed at Zhao Chen from time to time, and gave mocking smiles from time to time.

"These people dare to insult me, what should they do?" Zhao Chen asked calmly after a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is a crime of disrespect, and according to the law, you should be sentenced to death!" Zhang Xian came up from behind and said coldly.
