Chapter 140: City chaos

Zhao Zhen fiercely said to Liu Wei: "I asked you to negotiate a peace first. If you really don't want to make a peace, we can fight again. I have tens of thousands of horses under my command now. If the fight really starts, even if you unite with that Jiang. The fifty thousand genuine golden soldiers in the state city may not win! Besides, my subordinates, Yue Fei, are still staring at you to the north, and you are not our opponents at all."

Liu Yi said coldly: "It's true. If you really fight, my golden and Han soldiers will surely shed blood on the ground. From your battles, you are brave, knowing the soldiers and knowing the law, and you are not you how to fight us. Opponents. The only difference is how we will fight and what impact will it have on you."

Zhao Zhen was stubbornly entangled by the ice and snow, and was initially unhappy in her heart. Liu Yi said this again. He couldn't help being furious and said: "Liu Yi, I'm here to negotiate with you. If you agree, let's decide a place in the first month of the month, and everyone will meet together. For the alliance, making a treaty is not incompatible. If you agree, I will let you go back to the Jinbing and Han Chinese army. If you don’t agree, that's fine, I just light your sky lantern!"

Bingxue said: "What is a sky lantern?" Zhao Zhen said: "This is a gadget invented by those bandits, which is to hang a person upside down, apply a layer of oil on the soles of his feet, and then light it up. The fire starts to burn along the feet until the legs are burned out, and the person will not die, even if it burns to the waist, the person is still alive... Um... I rely on, I'm asking for trouble, I'll tell you this What are you doing?"

Bingxue said angrily: "Why are you so cruel?" Zhao Zhen said: "It depends on him, but I want peace wholeheartedly!"

Regardless of how loyal Liu Qian is to the Jinbing Han army, he feels chilling at this moment. It's not anything else, but Zhao Zhen's methods are cruel, Bingxue is right, Zhao Zhen is too cruel. He made the cross and crucified the Jurchens and the traitors and diehards alive. He still needs to light the sky lanterns to light candles in this way. For people of this age, the torture of the faithful king Zhao Zhen to the enemy is both innovative and cruel.

"I can't answer you, I don't have the right, and I don't count it. I have to go back and ask General Liu Lin..."

"That's enough. That's what I meant. I just want you to run for me and tell Liu Lin what I have to say. Then, give me a message before the fifth of the first lunar month, otherwise, from January to February, I will Send troops. When the time comes, you will never die!"

Liu Yi got up from the chair and said, "When can I leave?" Zhao Zhen smiled, "Huang Shi!" Huang Shi came in. Zhao Zhen said: "I wanted to find some people to go with you, but unfortunately no one wants to go back with you. Everyone doesn't want to go back... So I prepared you a horse, a pack of dry food, and one more. Cotton jacket! I believe you will not die if you are lucky."

Liu Yi snorted and walked out. Zhao Zhen said: "Huang Shi, give it away!" Huang Shi smiled and went out with a steel gun. Zhao Zhen frowned, thinking about something, and suddenly saw Bingxue, he said, "Why are you still here?"

Bingxue said: "Are you playing a conspiracy?" Zhao Zhen shook his head. Of course he was playing a conspiracy, but he wouldn't say it now. Instead, he walked to the table and started writing with a pencil. There are many more. He has to do it.

Seeing this young and cruel prince bastard ignore him, Bingxue was about to go out with anger. Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "Do you want to know why when I first met you said that you have a savage personality like a little pepper?" Bingxue said angrily: "You are not a good person, you are not a good person. What's weird!" She was angry as she said. Now who doesn't know that her nickname is "Little Pepper", for a woman, this is too much.

"Because recklessness is the only shortcoming of you..." Zhao Zhen said, Bingxueben didn't care, but suddenly she thought this was very beautiful! How could this be? The only downside? Bingxue usually didn't scold anyone, saying that she was unorganized, undisciplined, free and undisciplined, and she was not a girl at all. She also felt that she had many shortcomings, but she didn't expect Zhao Zhen to say that although she was stubborn and reckless, that was the only shortcoming of her!

"Girls in this world generally have shortcomings more or less, for example, my eldest lady's face is not beautiful enough, and her body is petite. My second wife has a very strong personality and doesn't have much culture. I have a maid. Called Dongyu, she is considered good in figure and face, but she still wants to kill me all the time. As for you, she knows how to use swordsmanship, she is literate, she is beautiful, and she has nothing to say, especially the only one on your body. The most beautiful thing is... That’s so big! I like it. Do you know the truth that the sky is not perfect? The sky is not perfect, no matter how perfect we humans do a thing, there will always be imperfections, so I call you'Little Pepper', little girl, I also help you beg some blessing!"

Bingxue came to Zhao Zhen's body, suddenly glanced at her, sticking her tongue out and making a grimace and said, "I don't believe you, you big bad guy!" He said, but ran out with a smile. Zhao Zhen shook her head and laughed, but knew that she had settled this little girl.

It felt like there was a little bit of deceiving children in it, but that was all secondary, as long as the goal was achieved. Besides, she is still a girl!

As the biggest mischief of Mingjiao, Bingxue is certainly not a scumbag. She was able to teach medicine with her seniors at first. But after a long time, she couldn't stand it anymore, and she ran around at every turn, holding a sword to find someone to compete. Don't look at her small, she is very watery. But she was young, strong, and dexterous. People who believed in the king's army were really not her opponents. Even many generals were defeated by Bingxue. Bingxue deserves to be the first young swordsman of Mingjiao, and this talent in swordsmanship is indeed the first.

I felt that compared with myself, Xiao Bingxue felt like he wanted to compete with Zhao Zhen. In her heart, she defeated Zhao Zhen, so she could win back freedom for the doormen. She hadn't noticed that most of her dozens of senior brothers had already begun to integrate with Xin Wang Jun, and were unwilling to return to the Mingjiao headquarters.

Originally, she and Zhao Zhen fought, and just lost. You should know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. How can I know that after Zhao Zhen's move was a second to her, she inadvertently said: "Little Chili, come again next time!" Zhao Zhen was mocking her, but she wanted Bingxue's temperament to admit death, but she had suffered this loss.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to fight her, he didn't want to mess up his relationship with people in Mingjiao. Bingxue seems to be useless, but all the useful ones are pampering her. So as soon as he moved his whole body, Zhao Zhen kept hiding like this, making the ice and snow tempered, and he really felt that he could defeat Zhao Zhen.

When Bingxue came up to fight, it was actually an exercise based on the topic. She would not really engage in evil with King Xin because of a little pepper or other words from King Zhao Zhen. It was just for a battle with King Xin. This time, his sword was clamped by Zhao Zhen with two fingers. It was so powerful that Bingxue was really impressed.

Although this little girl is stubborn, but blunt, she expressed that she was slightly moved by Zhao Zhen's words, that is, she really felt less disgusted with Wang Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, but for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, she was just a little bit more. Good impression. But the little girl still didn't accept Zhao Zhen's cruel torture of the enemy.

In December of the third year of Jianyan, a world-shaking event that determined the course of history occurred. Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) marched towards Hangzhou and prepared to capture Song Gaozong Zhaogou alive. As if entering an uninhabited territory, Jin Bing successively conquered Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Mingzhou and Dinghai.

Seeing Jin Bing chasing Hangzhou, Song Gaozong hurriedly fled from Hangzhou to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), then fled from Yuezhou to Mingzhou (Ningbo, Zhejiang), and fled from Mingzhou to Dinghai, following the advice of Prime Minister Lu Yihao. Fleeing by sea to Wenzhou for refuge. After Zongbi chased to Hangzhou, he stationed on the spot and sent troops to chase Gaozong to Mingzhou, and also chased by boat into the sea. Jin Bing did not practice naval warfare, and was chased by a ship in heavy wind and rain, and was dispersed by a large ship led by Zhang Gongyu, the defense force of Hezhou.

The Emperor Zhao Gou finally passed the catastrophe safely, and at the same time, he finally realized that blindly weakness is impossible. Otherwise, Xin Wang Jun defeated the Jin Jun several times in the north, and the Jin Jun secretly made peace with him. Although there is no evidence that the two sides really made peace, there is currently no war between the two sides.

Of course, due to the long distance, Zhao Gou didn't get news of another battle between Zhao Zhen and Jin Bing in the north. And he who was blindly begging for mercy, before a few days had passed, he was chased to the sea by the golden army like a desperate dog. Jin Bing is obviously bullying the soft and afraid of the tough!

Above the vast sea, Zhao Gou, who was preparing to cross the sea to continue his journey south, finally made up his mind this time to re-establish the Forbidden Army to resist the invading Golden Soldiers. At least let Jin Bing know that he is not easy to provoke, and give up attacking himself.

Where is the army of Yue Fei's army at this time? Why didn't he join up with Zhao Zhen's boss? Because at this time, Yue Fei was leading his army to besiege Taiping City, commanding his soldiers to cut down trees and make siege equipment.

They are not idle, and the golden general Nie'er in the city is not idle. Jin Jiang Nie'er ordered the soldiers who followed him to pack up the silver and altar pots that were looted and looted. At the same time, he posted a notice in the city to collect the anti-enemy tax. The money is not a lot, the big family is 500 taels per household, and the common people are 500 yuan per head.

Nie'er has calculated that there are nearly 50,000 people in Taiping City, and there are a lot of large families. If the money can be collected in full, it will be almost 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver. In addition to the fifty thousand taels that were looted and looted the other day, it was exactly one hundred thousand taels!

However, although Jin Jiang Nie'er's wishful thinking was so loud, ordinary people in Taiping City couldn't come up with so much money. You must know that five hundred dollars is enough for a large family to eat and drink for a month.

And this group of ordinary people in Taiping City, who were looted by soldiers, could hardly even eat food! Where is the money? Fifty copper plates are enough to choke!

Although the big households have money, it is not the result of the strong wind, but the accumulation of hard work every year. And living in this place under the jurisdiction of the Golden Soldier has something to do with the Golden Soldier's control over Yan Jam's mother. You Nie'er opens his mouth for five hundred taels, and no one wants to give it!

Nie'er, who had been sitting in the Yamen all morning waiting for someone to deliver the money, was so sleepy that she didn't react until the accompanying servant called him to have lunch. He looked at the sun and estimated the time, and a whole morning had passed. He looked at the soldier who was waiting for the cashier with an account book beside him, and there was no one in front of him!

These unsophisticated people don't give me Nie'er face too much. With a tap of the gavel, Nie Er stood up and shouted coldly: "Come on!" The guards who had been standing on both sides of the lobby with knives knelt on one knee and waited for Nie's command.

Nie'er, who heard it, shouted: "According to me, I will mobilize a thousand soldiers to count the heads of me from house to house. The small family will pay one or two silver per person against the enemy. The big family will pay fifty taels per person. It's okay to offset it! Those who dare to resist taxes and refuse to pay will all be put in prison!" As he said, he grabbed a ling arrow on the table with his right hand and threw it away.

After Nie'er finished this action murderously, a group of guards grabbed the arrows scattered on the ground and ran out of the palace, summoning the soldiers and horses to start separate actions!

It didn't take long for Taiping City to become chaotic. Teams of soldiers armed with spears, like robbers, kicked the courtyard door from door to door and rushed in. When Nie'er's command reached their ears, the taste changed: rob the Taiping City! So these soldiers started looting wildly as soon as they entered, and they all moved out when they saw any valuables. Even some chickens and ducks kept in the yard were not let go. Once the owner blocked them, they would be punched and kicked.

Then he took the stolen things, leaving behind the male host who was lying on the ground covered in blood and struggling, and the women and children curled up in the corner of the wall, tearful, and walked away. Such actions made the soldiers cry loudly wherever they went.

This is just the beginning. When the golden soldiers robbed things behind them, they didn’t say anything. When they saw the women in the people’s homes, they were moved with bad thoughts...

It is a man who has to resist when he encounters this kind of thing. The male host who was crying and shrinking at first saw these damned people doing such incompatible things, and grabbed a kitchen knife to resist. Either one of the soldiers was cut to the ground accidentally, or the male master was cut to the ground by a golden soldier. In short, the chaos in the city was expanding step by step.

After all, there are most of the people in the city. Once the real resistance rises, most of the Golden Army soldiers stationed in the city will have to defend the city wall. Of course, the two thousand soldiers close to the city could not withstand the resistance of tens of thousands of people.

Hearing that the people in the city dared to resist and killed a lot of soldiers who went to collect taxes, Nie Er was of course furious, and immediately mobilized another 5,000 people from the city and the people who were ready to fight to deal with the chaos. People!

The chaos is getting worse and the city is screaming and killing. The Jinjun martial-arts general, Termen, who originally thought that Nie Er just wanted to collect taxes and did not stop them, gradually realized that something was wrong. Collecting a tax would not cause such a big problem. What's happening, right? Immediately sent several subordinates to see what was going on.

After a while, several subordinates ran back in a panic. One of them said with an ugly expression: "General, it's not good, the Han people in the city are fighting with our army!" Telmen was surprised: " What, how did you fight?"

The Jinjun subordinate gave a halt and said, "General Qi, General Nie Er originally ordered the forcible tax collection, but the people who went to collect the tax became ill-tempered, not only stealing things and money, but also robbing women. That's it. Fight!"

"This kind of thing will happen, go, let me see!" Telman also realized the seriousness of the problem, now seeing the enemy outside the city is about to attack the city, but there is such a big city in the city. If the chaos is not suppressed in time, there is no need to wait for others to attack, and the city will be broken!

Going down to see, the situation is worse than Telmen expected. Dead bodies can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Although there are mostly civilians, there are many people in military uniforms, and there are some messy female corpses. At this time, the place here has already passed, but not far from the front is the sound of killing.

Although ordinary people suffered the most at the end of the war, the people of Song Dynasty were not weak at all. After so many things, although the folk customs of the Song Dynasty are still simple, but once threatened, the sturdy side will show up. Now these god-killed golden soldiers have gone against the original policy of not disturbing the people in order to stabilize the rule, and the deceived people returned to live in the city. Now that the people in the city have to be driven to a dead end, of course they have to pay the price.

The affected people in the city rose up to resist, and the people who hadn't waited until Nie'er came to collect taxes also followed up, and the situation was out of control.

Telmen took a few subordinates and walked forward for a while, and a "battlefield" appeared. I saw ordinary people holding kitchen knives, pig-killing knives, shovels, or rolling pins with poles, fighting with those golden soldiers who held machetes.

The Jinbing has a strong combat power, a large number of people, and they are not afraid. The two sides are in chaos. Although the Jinbing is strong, it can't stand the angry and rebellious people around. From time to time, some people on both sides fall to the ground.

Telmen looked at this scene, and couldn't help feeling anxious. This Nie'er is really a bastard and a fool. Look at your good deeds. Scolding Nie'er in his heart, Telmeng opened his mouth and shouted: "Stop it all!" The people behind him also shouted in unison: "Stop it all!"

However, the people in the city have long been red eyes, where they are willing to stop, so that the soldiers who originally heard the order to stop have to raise their swords to respond, in fact, they did not looting. When they arrived, the previous two thousand golden soldiers had almost grabbed them, and they had been violently resisted by the angry people long ago, and they were caught off guard by most of them.

Of course, this is also because the fighting power of this group of golden soldiers is not too strong. The current Jinbing is known as a million people, and the true Jurchen is less than one hundred thousand. The remaining golden soldiers are basically composed of soldiers from the Khitan, Bohai, Xi, Guanwai Han and other ethnic groups.

These soldiers, since they had surrendered at the beginning with less force than their own, the Golden Soldiers with Jurchens as their main force, naturally, it is impossible for them to be as powerful as the Jurchens.
