Jin Wushu sneered: "Liu Yu, up to now, you still don't know your guilt? Your two hundred thousand troops fought in a melee with Yue's army, almost all of them were wiped out, wasted people and money, made the two rivers restless, and people are boiling with resentment. What else do you have? What can I say?”
Liu Yu knelt on the ground, with big beads of sweat rolling out on his head, and kept kowtowing: "Please, for the sake of your diligent service in the past, the Fourth Prince, please be merciful..."
After Jin Wushu kidnapped Hua Rong and Xiao Lu Wenlong, he hid in Liu Yu's sphere of influence and received Liu Lin's attentive service and gave him a large cart of antique calligraphy and paintings. However, due to Liu Lin's unfavorable battle, Yue Peng took the lead. 18 The cavalry broke into the Zhizhou Mansion and killed Jin Wushu, who was defeated and escaped. In the end, Hua Rong cut off three of his fingers. Jin Wushu looked at his right hand and sneered. He had long been very jealous of Liu Lin because of these hands. He was dissatisfied and just said: "For the sake of the past, Liu Yu, I, the prince, will allow you a treasury of money, and I will not kill your family members. I will allow your father and son to live in Dajin until they grow old. This will show the great grace of my Dajin!" "
At this point, Liu Yu had no choice but to retreat with a sad face.
After the Jin army captured Kaifeng, they issued a notice that night announcing the abolition of the puppet Qi regime. At the same time, they issued new appointments to the original puppet Qi officials. In order to appease the emotions of the local people, Jin Wushu personally drafted the edict. He learned Han culture once again played an important role. The edict was written in a very tactful and high-sounding way, which was quite inflammatory and comforting. Zhaoshu stated that after Liu Yu was deposed, seven exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the two rivers would be canceled immediately, and the Zhao family would be released. The Lord (Qinzong of the Song Dynasty) came back and ascended the throne again, taking charge of the world.
At this time, most of the two rivers had been occupied by Yue's army, and the announcement could only be spread around Kaifeng, and the political situation in Kaifeng quickly stabilized. Jin Wushu then escorted Liu Yu, his son, and their family members to the Kingdom of Jin. On the day of the escort, Liu Yu personally came to apologize to Jin Wushu and say goodbye. Naturally, he already knew Jin Wushu's status in the Kingdom of Jin. As long as he agreed, he could be brought back to life. With a mournful face, he still refused to give up. He just kept begging: "Fourth Prince, please You want to give me a chance for your many years of service..."
It was a sunny day. Jin Wushu stood outside the wide-open city gate and watched Liu Yu kowtow in the sun. Looking around, the prosperity of Kaifeng Mansion and the Song Dynasty Palace in the past had become clouds. There were luxuriant grasses and crows everywhere. The birds were chattering. He sighed: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you still haven't woken up at this time. I think after Jingkang, when the young master of the Zhao family was escorted north, outside Kaifeng City, the people continued to wail for more than ten miles, and clicked This scene is still in my mind after many years. But what about you? You have governed Lianghe for several years, and you only know how to impose excessive taxes and cruelty, and you have no idea of winning the hearts and minds of the people. See for yourself, you are being punished today. Deposed, who will mourn for you?"
Liu Yu looked around and saw the empty streets, the empty city gates, the trees falling and the hozens scattering. Apart from his whole family crying, where was half of his subjects mourning for him
He had nothing to say anymore, so he had to get up and be escorted northward by the Jin soldiers.
It wasn't until the motorcade escorting Liu Yu completely disappeared that Jin Wushu turned around and returned to the "Imperial Palace". At this time, the scale of Kaifeng City was much smaller than before, but the imperial ceremony of the puppet Qi was naturally still there. Jin Bing searched and confiscated from the treasury. There were baskets of money and items, dragon robes, gold belts, imperial crowns, imperial seals and other items. Jin Wushu sat in the "Martial Arts Hall" where Liu Yu usually summoned ministers of civil and military affairs. He sat down as the puppet Qi The "Dragon Chair" was decorated with gold and emerald green, and there was a large jade seal placed on the imperial desk, which was one of the jade seals used by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. He picked up the exquisite jade seal and looked at it carefully, and his personal guard Wu Qimai said: " The fourth prince, Liu Yu, the old thief’s dragon robe, is so exquisite..."
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Wu Qimai handed over the dragon robe. He suddenly made a strange move and put the dragon robe on himself! Liu Yu was of medium height, and his dragon robe was a little too short for Jin Wushu. At this time, Jin Wushu was wearing a dragon robe, holding a jade seal, looking at the empty martial arts hall, imagining the high officials in the past. The beautiful scenery when he shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live," made me crazy for a moment.
The people on the left and right had already retreated, and the gates were guarded by soldiers. There were many red doors, and the courtyard was deep. Wu Qimai looked at the strange behavior of the fourth prince on the dragon throne in wonder. His heart was shuddered, and he couldn't help but kneel down: "Wu Qimai swears allegiance to the fourth prince to the death. .”
Jin Wushu was very happy, so he took off his dragon robe and said in a deep voice: "Put this box of things alone."
"yes."
Jin Wushu walked out of the Military Lecture Hall. Perhaps it was the clear sky outside that made him sober. He looked up at the evening sky, thinking about the repeated battles and defeats over the years, and slowly realized the most realistic problem: besides searching the mountains, he Except for the great battle of Jianhai, the wars against the Song Dynasty in recent years have always resulted in more defeats and fewer victories. Judging from the experience of dealing with Liu Yu, war may not be the only means of victory. War must be supplemented by appropriate "peace talks." It can also achieve unexpected results.
After several years of recuperation, the military strength of the Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, especially the Yue Family Army, which is famous all over the world. After the battle of Yancheng and the elimination of the 200,000 puppet Qi army, it is already at its peak. If they are allowed to continue fighting like this, they will be able to do it all at once. , I don’t know how terrible it will be. What’s more, judging from the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, there are only a few generals who can conquer and fight well.
After all, he is a man of great talent and strategy, and his hatred for Yue Pengju and his wife is only part of it. When he looks at the overall situation, he immediately realizes that it is time for him to change his strategy. War is necessary, but besides war, he must actively find another way. He also Nodding secretly, he went to find Empress Dowager Wei first. This move might be useful one day.
After Liu Yu was deposed, there were also Da Da, the important generals of the Jin Kingdom who went south at the same time.
Da Da is the son of the Grain God. Judging from today's weights and measures, the Grain God is more than two meters tall in history. He is known as the strongest man in the Jin Kingdom. He was also one of the main forces that destroyed the Song Dynasty. He was also the founder of Jurchen writing. His son Da Da inherited his father's physique and was extremely brave. He was said to be able to pierce the head of a buffalo with one punch. He went into battle and personally broke off the fingers of a buffalo tiger that day, and captured him in one fell swoop. But Da Da did not. In terms of culture, he did not inherit his father's culture. He knew nothing about Jurchen characters or Chinese characters. However, he inherited one of his father's mantles - he was also a Jurchen Shanman (shaman). After Zong Han's death, he cursed Jin Wu. Techniques and combined acupuncture, etc., but the "miraculous effect" has not yet occurred.
After the two armies of Jin Wushu and Da Da reunited, they drank happily together at the Datong mansion where Da Da was.
Since Da Da was guarding Datong, he took his family with him. Jin Wushu took his family with him impatiently, and with him were all the beautiful concubines from Liu Yu's palace.
Although the two were at odds with each other, they still drank happily together and said some kind words to each other.
Da Da said: "Wu Shu achieved great success this time. How many beauties and treasures did he get?"
Wu Shu laughed loudly: "Kaifeng is poor and has little oil and water. The rich land now is in the south of the Yangtze River. We are just waiting for our brave warriors of the Great Gold to whip south and capture Zhao Deji. By then, how many rich women will be available to our family to enjoy?"
Da Da was already a bit drunk at this time. Seeing how proud he was, she followed the Jurchen custom and put her hands on his back and neck affectionately, then slapped him on the ear and took a breath of alcohol. He smiled and said: "Wu Shu, do you know that you are a Shanman? No matter how powerful you are, as long as you impose a curse on yourself, you will not be able to escape the disaster for the rest of your life..."
Jin Wushu's expression changed. He was a Jurchen, and he had a natural fear and belief in wizards since he was a child. Hearing Da Da's words, he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. He reluctantly said: "Da Da, you can't do this. It’s brothers…”
"Brother? You must know that Zong Jun and you are still brothers from the same father. You captured him personally, but you did it yourself..."
Jin Wushu's forehead was covered with sweat. He just smiled and had nothing to say.
After Da Da said these words, the two of them drank for a while. Da Da drank too much, and soon he leaned on the table behind him drunkenly and snored loudly.
Jin Wushu shouted: "Da da..." He did not answer.
Jin Wushu stood up slowly and put his hand on his nose, but he still didn't react. Only then did Jin Wushu become convinced that he was fast asleep.
Jin Wushu made a prompt decision and drew out the saber from his waist. It was one of the trophies he had obtained from the former Liao Dynasty. The blade was thin and indestructible. He raised the saber, gathered all his strength, and chopped off the head of the snoring Da Da. Due to the nervousness and excessive force, the big knife was embedded in Da Da's neck and could not be pulled out for a while.
His head tilted, his throat rumbled, and he could not make a complete call. A large stream of blood came out, gurgling, and splashed all over Jin Wushu. His body fell down and died immediately.
Da Da's soldiers who were waiting under the tent saw him joking and drinking with the Fourth Prince. Now something unexpected happened. One of the soldiers reacted first and said angrily: "Four Prince, how dare you kill our husband?" he shouted. With a sound, he raised his sword and attacked Jin Wushu. When the other soldiers saw this, they also raised their swords and attacked Jin Wushu.
Jin Wushu had no weapons in his hands and was in a state of embarrassment when he was besieged. He used a chair as a weapon and shouted while fighting: "Come here, come quickly, we are rebelling..."
Jin Wushu's soldiers who were waiting outside also rushed in after hearing the news, and the two sides started a melee. Da Da's soldiers were outnumbered, and because of Da Da's death, they were leaderless, and more than a dozen soldiers were quickly killed. Fortunately, Jin Wushu died. He kept doing this and ordered his own soldiers to rush into Da Da's family camp and kill all his family members. From then on, the famous Jin general Gu Shen was full of family members, young and old, and no one was spared.
The time had just entered early autumn, and the sun above our heads was already slightly chilly. A swarm of migratory birds flew overhead, screaming, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Jin Wushu looked at the blood splattered all over his body, raised the saber in his hand, swung it down again, and threw it to the ground. At this point, almost all of his political opponents had been eliminated.
Later, Jin Wushu reported to the Wolf Lord that Da Da was treasonous and he had killed them all. Zong Qian was already on guard against Da Da, but he had to use them just to deal with Puluhu and others. Now he had to hear the report. He discussed with his stepson and agreed to Jin Wushu's petition, accusing Da Da of treason. The 50,000 men led by Da Da also came under Jin Wushu's command.
