Poor Family Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: Night Killing Shiwei [Final Finale]

There was silence in the big tent, and the generals were trembling. It had been a long time since they had seen Dushuai get so angry.

Everyone knows the reason. The Shiwei tribe violated the covenant signed last year. Before the Song army could withdraw southward, the chief Aruka sent troops to the north of Shangjing to sweep through the Jurchen tribes, massacring the young men and plundering wealth and women.

If the Shiwei tribe was just impatient, Li Yanqing could forgive them, but among the more than 30,000 women robbed by the Shiwei tribe, more than 4,000 were Song Dynasty women captured by the Jin soldiers from Hebei.

Counselor Cao, a soldier of the Song army, rushed to the Shiwei tribe with 20 soldiers to negotiate, asking the Shiwei tribe to return the Song Dynasty civilian girls to the Song army. Not only did Aruka not agree, he also believed that the land north of Shangjing belonged to the Shiwei tribe. Homeland, the land and population here are their wealth.

 Finally, the counselor and twenty Song soldiers were stripped naked, called skinned dogs, and driven out of the Shiwei camp.

This humiliation made Li Yanqing not angry.

 It was not just a simple humiliation, but also a more serious problem. The Shiwei tribe actually wanted to occupy the land of the Jin Kingdom.

At this time, Li Yanqing said to the generals: "Wang Gui, Liu Qi, and Cao Meng are staying, and Zhang Kai is also staying. The others should go back and rest!"

After the generals retreated, Liu Qi advised: "Don't be angry, you commanders. Just teach them a lesson!"

Li Yanqing sneered: "Actually, I am very grateful to the Shiwei people for their humiliation, otherwise I really would have no excuse to kill them."

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Wang Gui was surprised and said: "This is just a lesson. There is no need to kill them all!"

"You don't understand the seriousness of this matter! It was clearly written in the covenant signed at the time that the grassland tribes plundered the population and then returned to the Mobei grassland. The land of the Jin Kingdom and the land north of the grassland, including the Beihai, belonged to the Song Dynasty. After all, Aruka signed the covenant, but now he has openly torn it up. If we don't use thunder strikes, other grassland peoples will not abide by the covenant. The only way to deter them is to kill them all!"

Zhang Kai, the young minister of Honglu Temple, said: "Even so, we must communicate with other grassland ministries in time to avoid misunderstandings."

Li Yanqing nodded, "That's why I asked you to stay. Tomorrow I will send five thousand cavalry to **** you to Linhuang Mansion and explain the situation to other grassland ministries. It's not me, Li Yanqing, who has turned against me, but the Shiwei tribe." If you violate my bottom line, you must be killed."

 “Weichen understands!”

“You go back and prepare, and I will write a personal letter for you to take to the other ministries.”

 Zhang Kai bowed and retreated.

Li Yanqing said to Liu Qi: "I have a special task for you."

Liu Qi bowed and saluted, "Commander, please give me your orders!"

Li Yanqing unfolded a grassland map and pointed to a lake and waterway in the northeast: "This is Beihai. There are several small tribes living on the grasslands south of Beihai. You take 30,000 cavalry over there and kill the old and young of these tribes." Kill them all."

Liu Qi was confused and didn't know why. Li Yanqing said calmly: "I met a hermit in Zhongnan Mountain the year before last. He told me that after I destroyed the gold, I would have another conflict with the Shiwei tribe. So far, he has been right. Yes, he also told me that a certain tribe south of the North Sea will unify the grasslands in the future and become a threat to the Central Plains, so we must take action first to eliminate this hidden danger. We would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one person go!"

Although Liu Qi felt that being handsome was just nonsense, military orders could not be violated, so he quickly agreed with fists clasped.

At this time, Li Yanqing said to Wang Gui and Cao Meng: "The task of annihilating Shi Wei's army will be left to you two."

 In fact, as soon as Shiwei sent troops, Li Yanqing was notified by the Naiman tribe that Shiwei's sending troops was an unauthorized act and had nothing to do with other grassland tribes.

At the same time that Shi Weibu sent troops, Li Yanqing also sent a scout team to monitor Shi Weibu's actions.

Wang Gui and Cao Meng led 30,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry all the way north. Five days later, they arrived at the home of the Shiwei Army, the Jurchen Tribe Tunhe Meng'an. Two hundred years ago, this place once belonged to an important tribe of the Shiwei Tribe. Later it was occupied by Jurchens.

It should be noted here that the infantry of the Song Army did not necessarily walk. They only used infantry formations when fighting, but they could also use horses as leg power during long-distance marches.

Wang Gui's army first met up with a Song army scout. Under their leadership, they found the station of Shiwei Army. Thirty thousand Weiwei troops were stationed in a mountain nest, surrounded by mountains and a piece of flat land with a radius of dozens of miles in the middle. , surrounded by woods and rivers, Shi Weijun set up thousands of large tents here.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Gui and Cao Meng looked at the Shiwei Army camp more than ten miles away. A scout general said: "They went out to rob separately a few days ago and brought back a lot of wealth and women. They gathered together yesterday. Maybe tomorrow We have to go out separately again.”

 “How is the camp arranged?” Wang Gui asked.

“The south half is the soldiers' camp, and the back half is the warehouse. The horses and the robbed women also live in the back. There are about a thousand soldiers guarding it.”

Wang Gui picked up a stone, drew a circle in the soil, and then divided it into two in the middle. He looked at Cao Meng with a smile, "How about it?"

 Cao Meng nodded, "As per the old rules, I am responsible for commanding the cavalry!"

Wang Gui smiled and said: "Anyway, one person gets half the credit, it's up to you to choose!"

At night, the lights in the Shiwei Army camp were brightly lit and the noise was constant. The 30,000 soldiers were drinking freely. Bonfires were lit in the open space beside the camp. The soldiers were grilling meat, and the soldiers were grilling. From time to time, the soldiers' voices were heard in the tent. Wild laughter, mixed with women's cries.

 In the woods a few miles away, 30,000 Song Army cavalry were waiting for the opportunity.

 “Commander, let's kill him!” Several young commanders roared angrily.

 Cao Meng turned back and glared at them, "This is war, not for you to pretend to be heroes!"

Several young commanders did not dare to say anything. Cao Meng squinted his eyes and stared at the enemy's tent. Time passed little by little. The bonfire slowly extinguished, the noise and laughter disappeared, and the Wei army's tent finally became quiet.

 The time has reached two o'clock, and the time has come to attack. Cao Meng ordered: "Zhao Wu!"

 “The general is here!” Commander Zhao Wu stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists.

"You can lead 7,000 cavalry to cut off the enemy's front camp and rear camp, and never allow the enemy to seize the horses from the rear camp. Two thousand of them will be responsible for destroying the 1,000 guard soldiers in the rear camp. When you succeed, shoot three rockets." !”

 “I understand the humble position!”

Zhao Wu immediately led 7,000 cavalry and detoured towards the enemy camp silently.

 Cao Meng said to the other generals: "The time has come to go to war. As soon as the signal is lifted, we will attack!"

Everyone was immediately gearing up and eager to give it a try.

Just a moment later, there was a commotion from the direction of the enemy camp, and then three rockets rose into the sky.

Cao Meng swung his sword and shouted: "Kill!"

Thousands of horses galloped out from the woods, killing the sleeping 30,000-room Wei army.

At this time, the 30,000 infantrymen led by Wang Gui also surrounded the entire mountain den like an iron barrel. The enemy troops could not escape their encirclement.

Song cavalry rushed into the camp like a storm and mercilessly killed the Shiwei army who woke up from their sleep. The Shiwei army soldiers screamed in fear and ran for their lives.

But under the sharp swords and spears of the Song army, they fell one by one like wheat, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and corpses piled up everywhere.

 The gurgling blood dyed the river red.

Aluka, the chief of the Shiwei Army, ran out of the tent. He thought it was the Jin soldiers coming to kill him, and he kept shouting: "Go behind and get the horse!"

“Chief, the Song army has blocked the passage to the rear camp. Brothers cannot get through and suffer heavy casualties!”

 “Song Jun!”

Aluka was shocked. It was actually the Song army who came to kill him. He suddenly understood that he was probably going to become Li Yanqing's sacrificial flag to shock the grassland.

At this moment, the arrogance in his heart was gone, and he was filled with endless self-blame and regret. If there was still a chance, he would be willing to kneel down in front of Li Yanqing to apologize.

But the chance was gone. At this time, a group of Song Army cavalry rushed towards him from a dozen feet away in front of him. Dozens of arrows were shot at him. Aluka was unable to dodge and was shot through the body by random arrows. He collapsed suddenly and died.

The soldiers of the Song Army chopped off his head, put it on a spear and rode wildly, "The enemy chief is dead! The enemy chief is dead!"

The soldiers of Shiwei tribe were desperate and knelt down one after another to surrender, but it was in vain. Wang Gui and Cao Meng accepted the killing order. They killed all the soldiers of Shiwei tribe without leaving any one alive. They used their heads to frighten the grassland tribes and betray their trust. fate.

It was getting daylight and the war was over. All 30,000 Wei army soldiers were killed. In addition to the 23,000 people who died in the camp, more than 7,000 people were killed by Wang Gui's army on the periphery.

The corpses have been burned and buried, and 30,000 heads will be built into the Jingguan Tomb in Linhuang to shock the grassland tribes. To treat the grassland tribes with gentleness alone will only encourage their arrogance. We must use iron and blood plus gentleness, a two-pronged approach, to have success. Effect.

Thirty thousand captive women were trembling with fear in hundreds of large tents. Song soldiers comforted them one by one and sent them to settle in Liaoyang or marry some Song Army veterans.

At this time, more than 4,000 captive women of the Song Dynasty discovered that the people who rescued them were actually Song soldiers. They immediately ran out crying, hugged the Song soldiers and cried loudly. Most of them had been kidnapped for many years and thought there was no hope of returning to their homeland. Unexpectedly, when they were at their most desperate, they would be greeted by the army of their motherland.

 The soldiers of the Song Army shed tears when they looked at the thousands of weeping and mourning sisters.

Within ten days, the Song army returned to Liaoyang Prefecture in triumph, while the other Jurchen and Bohai tribes were left to the grassland coalition forces.

The War to Destroy the Jin Dynasty ended in just two months. Hundreds of officials and 100,000 Song troops went north, began to accept endless land, and planned new county towns and state capitals.

Time flies. Ten years have passed. In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court's fiscal revenue reached 170 million yuan. The Song Dynasty was peaceful and the people were peaceful. The territory was thousands of miles away and the population was growing. Large workshops with 3,000 employees appeared in Lin'an, the capital, and Yanjing, the northern capital. .

 Li Shuang, the general manager of Baoyanzhai, established a cosmetics workshop with up to 6,000 people in Damingfu, becoming the largest workshop in Hebei.

 Li Shuang was the former little maid Magpie. Li Daqi adopted her as his daughter and was named the county head by Li Yanqing. She will control all the properties of Baoyanzhai. Li Daqi has retreated to the second line and concentrates on running the newspaper.

 But the cosmetics workshop with 6,000 people is not the largest workshop in Baoyanzhai.

 The largest workshop in Baoyanzhai is the mine. The Baoyanzhai Silver and Copper Mine in Fuzhou has 200,000 miners working day and night to mine silver and blister copper.

 This is also the largest private mine in the Song Dynasty.

Li Shuang has always been with Li Yanqing. She is called the emperor's aunt by her children and is known as the best businessman in the world. She has been in charge of Baoyanzhai for forty years and built Baoyanzhai into the best business empire in the world.

In the past few days, an auspicious sign has appeared in Qiantang Bay. A majestic palace appeared on the sea, causing people all over the city to run to see it. Thirteen newspapers put the auspicious sign on the front page one after another, implying that the new emperor has ascended the throne.

 At this time, Li Yanqing had been the regent for ten years. In the eyes of the world, he was already the real emperor.

The Zhao royal family has long lost its privileges and titles, and they have changed careers one after another, either as big businessmen or big landowners, and are distributed throughout the Song Dynasty. The prince in the palace has become the only royal family five years ago.

On the day after the auspicious sign appeared, Empress Dowager Xing summoned Li Yanqing, and the two parties talked in a secret room for more than an hour. Empress Dowager Xing immediately announced to the world that the prince had officially abdicated, and the regent Li Yanqing would inherit the throne. The prime minister, court officials, state and local officials, and military generals all published newspapers supporting the regent's ascension.

In September, Li Yanqing ascended the throne in Xuande Tower under the **** of three thousand soldiers, and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials and hundreds of thousands of people in the capital.

Li Yanqing changed the name of his country to Zhou and his reign to the first year of Daqing. The crown prince of the former dynasty was renamed Zhao Guogong and lived in Yuhang.

They also named the eldest son Li Pu as the crown prince, the princess Cao as the queen, Zhao Fujin as the noble concubine, Li Shishi as the concubine Shu, Hu Qing'er as the virtuous concubine, Li Jiuzhen who was adopted ten years ago as the virtuous concubine, and the remaining dozen concubines are all concubines.

His father Li Daqi is honored as the Supreme Emperor, his mother Ding is the Empress Dowager Ciwen, and Yang is the Empress Dowager Jingwen.

 His twelve sons were all crowned kings.

Li Yanqing immediately granted amnesty to the whole country.

 In May of the following year, Li Yanqing was enshrined in Mount Tai.

Ten years have passed. In the spring of this year, Li Yanqing ordered the prince to supervise the country. He personally led an army of 100,000 to patrol the grassland and accepted the title of Khan of Heaven from the tribes in the grassland.

In the morning, Li Yanqing led his army to Beihai Prefecture, which was the northernmost and largest administrative region of the Zhou Dynasty. Including Beihai, it covers an area of ​​thousands of miles. The northernmost part is covered with ice sheets that are cold all year round. The entire prefecture has a population of It has a population of more than 700,000. It governs Beihai County and has four other counties. The northernmost county among them is called Beiji County.

 Li Yanqing was stationed on the south bank of the Beihai, staring at the vast and sparkling Beihai in front of him. This is the deepest and largest freshwater lake in the world. Now he built a palace on the east bank.

The concubine who accompanied Li Yanqing on his northern tour was Zhaoyi Cao Jiaojiao. She was already the mother of two children. Although she was thirty years old, her smile was still so young and charming.

“Husband, was the Persian cat you gave me last time born here?”

Li Yanqing laughed and said, "Cats are not produced here. The indigenous people here have a kind of dog that is very interesting, silly, and very powerful for pulling sleds. Do you want me to get one for you?"

“I don't like dogs. It's better to find two sled cats for me.”

Li Yanqing laughed dumbly, "Then you will be disappointed."

At this time, several guards rushed over and bowed: "Your Majesty, Cao Zhaoyi, the palace has been packed up, please go and stay!"

Li Yanqing nodded and told the people around him, "Go to the palace!"

Flags were fluttering, horns were blasting, and the army marched towards the palace a hundred miles away.
