Poor Family Chapter 794

  Chapter 794 Difficult to stay for a long time

The explosion and fire last night also kept Zhao Huanjun and his officials in the golden camp up all night. It was not until dawn that the golden soldiers told them that it was the fire in the front camp that triggered the thunder, and they were relieved a little. They were afraid of Li. Yanqing messed up and ruined their negotiation plan.

  Early in the morning, Zhao Huanjun and his ministers were stunned. The breakfast that Jin Bing brought to them was a bowl of brown rice porridge for each person, and two moldy buns, as hard as rocks. He had never seen such a disgusting thing.

  At this time, Zhao Huan couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Geng Nanzhong: "Go and tell the Jinren that I must go back today, and I can agree to whatever conditions they ask!"

  Tang Ke next to him whispered: "I'm afraid they will mention what happened yesterday again!"

Several people were silent. They just entered the barracks yesterday and were severely reprimanded for not bringing the Emperor Ji. Then the Jinren asked them to write a letter of surrender, which made Zhao Huan unacceptable. He was here to negotiate. , not to surrender, how can you write a letter of surrender?

  When he refused, Jin Bing drove them into this dilapidated tent to live together. Needless to say, this was a form of house arrest.

   After a while, Zhao Huan said: "As long as I let me go back, I can give money to women!"

Among several ministers, only Geng Nanzhong could get in touch with Yelu Yujian, which was a contact window left by the Jin people. Geng Nanzhong didn't eat dry buns, but drank two mouthfuls of porridge before he was taken to a big tent by Jin Bing Inside.

  Today, Yelu Yujian also had a purpose in meeting Geng Nanzhong so readily, but he didn't bring it up. Instead, he asked Geng Nanzhong to sit down and ask, "I don't know why Mr. Geng is looking for me?"

   "General Yelu, our officials hope to return to the city to raise gold and silver singers, and I implore you to agree."

  Yelu Yujian waved his hands and smiled, "The negotiation hasn't come to fruition yet. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Do you think we didn't entertain well?"

   "Where! Where! We don't mean that."

"Since you don't have that intention, then don't mention the matter of going back. How about it! You can send one person back to raise gold and silver singing girls. We want one million taels of gold, ten million taels of silver, and 30,000 singing girls, including all court ladies. And Di Ji, if we complete this one, we will consider improving the treatment, and Marshal Du will add another condition, which will affect the success of the final negotiation!" Speaking of this, Yelu Yudu gave a fierce stare as if in a demonstration. Geng Nanzhong.

   Geng Nanzhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed and said: "General Yelu, please tell me, I will listen carefully!"

   "Let your emperor decree that Li Yanqing be removed from all official positions, and sent to prison for investigation!"

"sure!"

   Geng Nanzhong readily agreed, but he explained: "It's just that the emperor's seal is not in his hand."

   "Then start the order!" Yelu Yujian was getting impatient.

   "I see, let's make arrangements!"

  Geng Nanzhong hurried back to the tent, Yelu Yujian also rushed to report the situation to Wanyan Xieye.

At this time, Wan Yanxie was not in the tent of the Chinese army, but was responding to the emergency in Beizhai. Since more than 500 soldiers showed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea last night, more than 1,000 soldiers showed up this morning. The same illness, and more than ten of the five hundred or so people had died before, Wanyan Xie also realized that what he was most worried about had finally happened, an epidemic appeared in the army.

  Wan Yan Xie also ordered the killing of the misdiagnosed military doctor first. He followed the advice of a Yandi Han military doctor and began to build an isolation camp.

  Wan Yanxie is also of course the most careful about the spread of the disease. Currently, the disease only appears in Beizhai. The disease has not been found in the other villages, but it is not certain.

  Wan Yanxie immediately issued two strict orders: first, cut off any connection between Beizhai and other big villages.

  Second, as long as anyone in the army has diarrhea, they will be sent to the isolation camp, even the commander of the army is no exception.

   At this moment, Yelu Yujian found Wanyan Xiye, and reported to him about the meeting with Geng Nanzhong.

Wanyan Xie also pondered for a moment and said: "Let Geng Nanzhong go back to the city and tell him that as soon as Li Yanqing is imprisoned, I will immediately release their emperor back to the city. In addition, I will send as much gold, silver and women as you have, and you don't have to wait until you have enough money." Only when it is delivered, the palace maid can deliver it first."

   "The humble job understands!"

  Yelu Yujian left in a hurry, and Wanyan Xie also asked Wanyan Zongwang to come for him.

Although there was a big explosion in the barracks in the outer city, the main reason was that the supplies suffered heavy losses, and the casualties of soldiers were not large. Only more than a thousand people patrolling in the eastern camp were killed, and only a hundred people were killed in the western camp. Escaped from the camp in time.

  Even so, Wanyan Zongwang was severely scolded and dismissed from the post of deputy marshal, but dismissal was resignation, and Wanyan Xie still appointed him to lead the army.

   "Now go back and rectify the army, prepare to attack the city, and attack the city after I give an order!"

   "Follow the order!"

  Wan Yan Zongwang bowed and agreed, hesitated for a while and asked again: "When will Marshal Du attack the city?"

  Wanyan Xie also thought about it and said, "Tomorrow morning at the latest!"

   "The humble job understands!"

  Wanyan Xie also nodded, and turned to inspect the isolation camp, but Wanyan Zongwang grabbed Wanyan Xiyin and asked quietly: "What happened, why is Marshal Du a little anxious to attack the city?"

  Wanyan Xiyin lowered his voice and said, "You don't know about the epidemic in the military?"

   "I've heard about it, so it's not serious?"

Wanyan Xiyin shook his head, "There are already 1,600 people who have fallen ill, not counting the undiscovered ones. The key military doctors can't find any cure, so they can only be quarantined. Marshal Du is very worried, so I don't want to After staying for a long time, attack the capital, loot the people and wealth, and leave."

   "Then why didn't you attack the city today?"

   "It should be the Song Dynasty who agreed to dismiss Li Yanqing and send him to prison. Marshal Du is waiting for the news!"

  Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but secretly sighed, how could Marshal Du believe this, how could Li Yanqing be a person waiting to die, otherwise the fake Li Yanqing's head would not have appeared last time.

  Geng Nanzhong was not embarrassed when he returned to the city. Li Yanqing ordered him to enter the city. As long as Zhao Huan didn't return to the city, Li Yanqing didn't want to quarrel with the current court for the time being, which would be bad for his reputation.

Last night when the gold camp in the outer city was broken, Li Yanqing stepped up his military training, mainly to train the militiamen. This time, he recruited 80,000 militiamen. Although most of them were young and strong, half of them had participated in the first anti-golden war. However, there are still more than 40,000 people without any combat experience, without basic combat experience, and if they have the determination to defend their homes and the country, they will die in vain.

The training was carried out on the top of the city, with one hundred people as a team, and each team had a veteran who had experienced many battles as an instructor. The tutorial was also temporarily compiled by Li Yanqing. The second is to avoid arrows, the third is to extinguish the fire, the fourth is to cooperate with the enemy, and the fifth is first aid for injuries.

The top of the city was extremely lively, with constant shouting and shouting. Li Yanqing rode a horse to the bottom of the city. In an open space below the city, a thousand strong soldiers were training to throw fire mines. Of course they were using models, just like what Li Yanqing saw Just like the Feihuolei demonstration, the soldiers stood on a high platform and waved the copper sticks. The copper ring on the Feihuolei broke away from the copper stick and flew towards a siege ladder more than ten steps away. Only the rope on the Feihuolei Entangling the siege ladder is considered qualified.

  Throwing the flying fire mine is actually not difficult. The key is to be proficient in the operation. After a dozen times of training, you can basically achieve nine out of ten shots.

  Li Yanqing watched the soldiers training Feihuolei from a distance. At this moment, there was the sound of running hurriedly behind him. When Li Yanqing turned his head, he saw Cao Sheng rushing over, "Dutong, there is trouble!"

   "What's the trouble?"

"When Geng Nanzhong came back, he ordered Wang Shiyong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xu Bingzhe, Governor of Kaifeng, to lead two thousand soldiers and hundreds of yamen servants to arrest young women from house to house, and search for gold and silver from rich families, causing chaos in the city. "

  Li Yanqing was furious immediately, and glared at Cao Sheng, "Then why didn't you stop it?"

   "I would like to stop it, but they took out the Shangfang Tianzi Sword and the official imperial decree. I really can't interfere openly, so I hurried to report to Dutong."

Although Li Yanqing also knew that Cao Sheng was a son-in-law with a special status, he did not dare to openly disobey the imperial decree, but he did not dare to reach out to stop him knowing that the other party was doing evil. Deyuan originally thought that Cao Sheng would be his assistant in the officialdom, but now it seems that he has disappointed Li Yanqing a bit.

   But it was just a little disappointing, at least Cao Sheng was able to rush to find him, which showed that he still had a clear distinction between right and wrong, but he just lacked a little bit of intensity.

  Thinking of this, the trace of dissatisfaction with Cao Sheng disappeared in Li Yanqing's heart just now, "What else is going on?" Li Yanqing asked again.

   "The other thing is about Dutong. I heard that the government has issued an order to remove all the official positions of Dutong. So far, no one among the officials has dared to take up this job. Geng Nanzhong was so anxious."

  Although it sounds like a big deal, it actually has no meaning at all. This is why Cao Sheng didn't take it too seriously. Li Yanqing asked with a sneer, "Why didn't Geng Nanzhong himself come?"

  Cao Sheng shook his head, "He's not stupid. He came to dismiss you. I don't know who will dismiss whom in the end?"

   "In that case, I'll have a good time with him!" Li Yanqing said calmly.
