Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Wanyan Zongwang was a little confused for a moment, the contrast between before and after was a bit big.

If the Song people really vowed to defend the city to the death, they would be in real trouble.

Now the entire army has 15 people, 15 mouths, and eats 30 catties of grain every day, which consumes nearly [-] million catties of military food in a month.

Right now, Xiangzhou and Cizhou in Hebei have Song troops.

The anti-gold rebel army also appeared in Shandong, and the army of King Qin from the south of the Song Dynasty was also on the way.

The Song general Zongze in Xiangzhou was extremely brave, and there was a rare situation where the Song army defeated the Jin army. Although it was a small-scale battle, it also showed that the combat effectiveness of the Song army was slowly growing.

Once the Song army fortified the walls and cleared the fields on a large scale in Hebei, Hedong, and Shandong, it would inevitably cause a food and grass crisis for the entire army.

Once there is a food crisis in the army, the morale of the army is extremely easy to collapse.

These are all factors Wanyan Zongwang has to consider, and they are decisive factors.

Liu Yanzong said: "Marshal don't have to worry, the emperor of the Song Dynasty probably just had a whim, maybe we haven't attacked the city for seven days, and they think we can't do it again."

"What do you mean, even if the people of Song know about our strategy, so what? If we follow this strategy, everything else will be vulnerable in the face of powerful force?"

"That's exactly what Xiaguan meant, and it also shows that we need to attack the city without interruption. We may not be able to break through as soon as possible, but it will certainly shake the Song army's morale and disintegrate their internal affairs."

"You're right." Wanyan Zongwang held the "newspaper", "This Tokyo Daily was deliberately shown to us by Song Jun, they just want us to know that they have seen through our siege plan , but wars are not won solely by stratagem.”

"Go and give this Tokyo Daily to Marshal Zong Han."

"Yes."

Wanyan Zonghan in the coaching camp read the "Tokyo Daily" and laughed loudly: "The people of Song Dynasty have finally improved a bit. Even if they know our intentions, so what, destroy Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and attack the city tomorrow!"

On the first day of December, early in the morning, Zhao Ning got the news that the Jin army was going to attack the city.

He immediately said: "Quick! Go, call all the civil and military ministers and let them wait at the gate of the palace."

Wang Huaiji said, "Official, what are you going to do?"

"Go quickly."

"Yes Yes."

Zhao Ning was dressed in military uniform.

Not long after, Empress Zhu Lian came over: "Guan, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Nancheng Gate to put on a good show."

"Officials, I heard that the Jin people are going to attack the city, and it is very dangerous there."

"Don't worry, if they can't attack, I will come back as soon as I go."

"The official family..."

Zhu Lian wanted to say something, but Zhao Ning suddenly hugged her and kissed her peach-like lips.

It's really soft and fragrant!

Zhu Lian's face immediately flew up two red clouds, and his body was a little weak, and he called softly: "The official..."

"Wait for me to come back."

Zhao Ning was dressed in armor, and surrounded by the imperial guards in front of the palace, he left the palace.

Chapter 23 That's the Voice of the People, the City's United Front

The civil and military ministers are all waiting at the gate of the palace.

Those who came were at least officials who were qualified to go to court.

Almost all the bigwigs from the two governments and the three divisions are there.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the emperor in military uniform.

"Mei Zhili."

Mei Zhili, Minister of the Household Department, came out: "The minister is here."

"How's the food procurement going?"

"Reporting to the official family, within three days, the household department purchased 5 shi (600 million catties) of grain in the city, and all of them were handed over to Mr. Shu Ye this morning."

"Well, you've done a good job. Now that the war is about to start, I have already informed the palace that the daily expenses will be reduced by two-thirds."

"The official Shengming."

"I hope that you can also be strict with yourself at this time and tide over the difficulties together. As for your salaries, I have asked the Ministry of Households to record them. When the gold people are retired and the taxes from various places come up, they will be distributed truthfully."

The crowd said: "Your Majesty's hadith must be remembered."

"Okay! Everyone, go to the south gate with me. The Jin people are attacking the city today. Let's go and cheer up the soldiers."

As soon as the emperor said this, many officials present turned pale.

What?

Officer, are you dreaming?

Chen Jieran, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, immediately came out and said: "Officials, I have recently felt cold and unwell, please allow me to go home to recuperate."

As soon as he said this, many other ministers were eager to try, and obviously they were unwilling to go to the tower.

What a joke!

We are all scholars and officials, how can we go to such a dangerous place?

Go to the emperor yourself, don't drag us.

Zhao Ning said: "Doctor Hu, go and feel Chen Shilang's pulse."

Doctor Hu responded and walked up.

Chen Jieran didn't expect that the emperor's fucking imperial doctor was ready.

Physician Hu grabbed Chen Jieran's hand and was about to feel his pulse. Chen Jieran seemed to be burned, and immediately shrank back: "Official, I suddenly feel much better."

The others shrank their necks back when they saw that the emperor and the imperial doctor were so ready.

"Since there is no problem, let's go." Zhao Ning didn't go into details on the spot, and the focus now was on the defense of the city.

The emperor led the people all the way out of the city, heading south of the city.

Along the way, people in Tokyo can be seen everywhere.

Some of them shouted loudly: "The gold thief is here, let's go to the city tower and see if the defenders there need help!"

"Hey, I've carried half of my family's food out, and I'm sending it to the south gate now!"

"I've also carried it out, and I plan to defend the city!"

"Don't even think of a gold thief coming in today!"

"..."

Everyone was very enthusiastic. Even the neighbors who often quarreled on weekdays stopped quarreling and exchanged some supplies with each other. They joined the big team in groups of twos and threes.

In some places, people from some associations are still distributing weapons.

Weapons include knives, axes, sticks, and even hoes.

At this time, the imperial court no longer prohibited the appearance of weapons.

In the east of the city, there was even a long queue to receive weapons.

Since the "Tokyo Daily" was published, it seemed that the whole city was set on fire overnight.

The bravery of countless people and their desire to protect their homes are diluting the panic and confusion in the city.

"The emperor travels, idlers avoid it!"

Suddenly a voice came from the front, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army in front of the palace in heavy armor cleared a path for the emperor.

The emperor led the ministers all the way.

The streets of Tokyo are crowded with people.

Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"

This sound completely ignited the crowd.

"Long live my emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The sound was like a sea wave, quickly swept through the imperial street, from the front of the palace, wave after wave, pushed to the south gate of the inner city.

The united front of the first stage has been achieved!

Zhao Ning was surrounded by the imperial guards, and he looked at the crowds of people around him.

I saw a woman carrying a basket and delivering eggs to the accompanying guards.

Some also sent their own steamed buns.

Their eyes are full of longing for the safety of their homeland.

When war comes, individuals are as insignificant as ants.

A month ago, the Jin army approached the city, and a huge iron curtain enveloped the city.

The whole city has been suppressed for too long.

Countless people have been suppressed for too long.

Zhao Guan's non-resistance policy has made countless people who want to defend their homes and the country feel depressed.

And within a few days, the Tongzhi Kaifeng governor was beheaded, the officer of the Imperial Army was beheaded, and the Privy Council member Wailang was beheaded!

Let everyone see Zhao Guanjia's new attitude.

When everyone still had doubts in their hearts, wondering if Zhao Guanjia would change his attitude suddenly and frequently like in the past year, the "Tokyo Daily" was published.

It was the first time that the emperor had such a close conversation with the people of the whole city.

The mood of the main battle in the city is fermenting.

Finally, it broke out today.

Zhao Ning really wanted to say to the accompanying ministers: You see, this is the voice of the people!

No one can stop these voices!

Those who obey prosper, those who oppose perish.

Zhao Ning waved to the people around him.

He was wondering if someone would suddenly come out to assassinate him?

However, there is a high probability that it is impossible. Although the Zhao officials in the Song Dynasty were weaker, their personalities have always been relatively gentle.

On weekdays, even part of the royal gardens are open to ordinary people to play at will.

Otherwise, Jingkang shame has been made into that virtue in history, and people everywhere are still bargaining with Jin people to support Zhao Guanjia again?

The voice is still spreading.

Even the girls from the brothel outside Donghua Gate rushed here.

Even the guards on the tower heard it.

Snow is falling in the sky, but today's Tokyo city is more boiling than any other day in the past.

Outside the city, the Jin army who was in formation also heard the voices in the city.

Wanyan Zongwang in the west of the city glanced at Liu Yanzong: "What happened?"

"It should be the emperor of the Song Dynasty traveling."

Wanyan Zongwang said in a deep voice: "Could it be that he dares to go up the tower at this time?"

No one answered his question, because the voices in Bianliang City seemed to break through the sky.

For the first time, the Jin people felt the aura of the Song people.

Wanyan Zongwang said, "Mother Jia!"

"The last general is here, I will give you 2000 people, and you will be the striker!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The coach Wanyan Zonghan in the south of the city looked livid, and he ordered: "Silver technique is fine!"
