Chapter 1,336 Unconditional
Beizhong Sachen, the Minister of War, bowed and said: "The Xingqing Mansion has a lot of savings, and there is no shortage of weapons and equipment. I have issued weapons to more than fourteen men in the city and ordered them to go to the city to defend. It's just..."
"Just what?!"
"It's just that according to the Queen's order, the city was searched for young people. The people of the three states of Hejifu, a total of 100,000 centimeters, were taken to Shunzhou, and then 50,000 makui were distributed..."
Liang Yimi sat slumped in the chair with a dejected look on his face: "Are you really going to go out and kneel down?"
The city defense envoy Yima Dangzhi dressed in military uniform and shouted loudly: "Now we can still fight, I am on duty, and there are still three thousand palace guards. If we don't go to the city to defend it at this time, are we waiting for death at the palace gate?"
Yima Dangzheng was the younger brother of Dong Xiang of the Qing Tang Dynasty. After Dong Xiang returned to the Song Dynasty, Jia Liang had been doing diplomatic work in the Qing Tang Dynasty. The Liang family offered Dong Xiang and his son an official title, but he refused. And Dang Zheng was heartbroken.
Admiring him, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to Jialiang and join the Xia Kingdom.
The Liang family was overjoyed to receive the Yima Party's conquest, but they did not let him go back. Instead, they gave him the title of Prince Consort and made him a consort, and gradually he became the defense envoy of Xingzhou City.
I also heard Yima Dangzheng say: "There are still hundreds of thousands of people outside the city. Those who can escape here are all loyal people to Daxia and are powerful people. It is better to put them in the city and click on them."
Can we fight, don't we immediately have tens of thousands more troops?"
When the Secretary of Economics and Strategy heard Wei Ming Mo Duo said immediately: "People outside the city, how do you know that there are no people from the Song Dynasty who are careful? Come inside the city, what if there is a rebellion?"
Yi Ma Dangzheng impatiently said: "There are swords and ears to cause chaos! Now it's urgent. If you have a headache, treat your head, and if your feet hurt, treat your feet. If the Song soldiers came to the city and forced them to attach to the city, there would be hundreds of thousands more to attack the city in an instant.
army!"
Liang Yimi was suddenly startled: "That's right! Open the city gate quickly and let the people enter the city first!"
The Yima Party Congress was handed over.
Ma Yuan Chengzhi Weiming Lizhi had been pondering, and at this time he asked tentatively: "The Song army is coming fiercely, and they keep saying that the one who did it is just your Majesty. If... if the Queen Mother declares a decree to withdraw the curtain and return the power to your Majesty... yes
No, can we just stall for a while and at least make the people of Song Dynasty not stand up for it?"
Empress Dowager Liang glanced at him: "I am not a person who likes power. Now, haven't all the powers been handed over to the queen? If we want to return the power, we must have the power to return it."
Wei Mingli said quickly: "It's just a name. People in the Song Dynasty can't figure out the titles of our Tibetan officials, such as Ding Nu, Lu Ze, Ba Liang, Ang Nie, etc. At worst, we can just change the names of the Liang ministers.
, in fact, you should just do whatever you need to do.”
"The Queen Mother is just issuing an edict to return the government. As long as Your Majesty is surrounded by the Queen Mother's people and the Prime Minister is still there, isn't it the same as before?"
Zhang Yuzheng, the Minister of Rites, said: "This is exactly the reason, and it is better to arrive sooner rather than later. It is only forty miles from Jingzhou, and it can arrive overnight. The crisis is imminent."
Censor Liang Age said: "What if the Song Dynasty insists on killing all my Liang family members?"
Zhang Yuzheng said: "There is no such reason. The laws of the Song Dynasty are very strict. The Liang family has the dignity of the empress dowager and empress, and no additional punishment is allowed."
"In the "Xingtong" of the Song Dynasty, the most serious crime is treason or treason. If someone is found guilty of this crime, his father and son will be killed if they are sixteen or above, and they are not as good as their relatives."
"Therefore, there is no mention of 'family execution' in its code."
"If the Queen Mother returns the throne to Your Majesty in time and sends a letter of national credence to the Great Song Dynasty Yixi Weishe, with her benevolent nature, she will definitely restrain the generals and will not engage in mass killings."
The ministers discussed one after another, some said they wanted peace, some said they wanted war, but they couldn't agree on one thing.
The Secretary of Economic Affairs was listening to Wei Ming's pregnant words: "Misfortune is imminent, and the reinforcements are still far away. Even if we are in vain, we still have to wait until the two armies return to help."
"The current plan is to make a city-wide alliance with the Song people, and at the same time send envoys to the Liao Kingdom for rescue, and send the two armies back to King Qin."
"Also, cede Hexi to Dong Fei and tell him that if the Xia Kingdom is gone, the Qing Tang Dynasty will be next. Ask him to cut off the Song army's retreat!"
At this time, the city defense envoy Yima Dangzheng who had gone to open the city gate came into the palace again and reported: "The Queen Mother, Prime Minister, Liang Yiduo has returned from burial. I have brought him here and is waiting for the order outside the palace."
Queen Mother Liang immediately raised her head: "Call in!"
Liang Yiduomi came in from outside the palace. As soon as he saw the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yimi, he fell to his knees and cried loudly: "The Empress Dowager, uncle and nephew are back!"
Liang Yimi asked: "How could the people of Song Dynasty have so many ships in one night? Do you know how many ships there are?"
Liang Yiduo cried and said: "This nephew really doesn't know. When my nephew arrived in Lingzhou, Yixi Weishe left his nephew in the Lu family's water village to discuss business. At that time, the water village was empty."
"After inspecting the boat that my nephew was riding on, Yeshi Weishe just built a dock, but the wood he found was unusable."
"My nephew made excuses every day, until one day, Yixi Weishe came to accuse me of deceiving him, saying that he agreed to negotiate with good intentions, but the Xia Kingdom just wanted to delay the time and sent out a large army to deal with the issue."
"When my nephew was very happy to fulfill the great trust entrusted by the Queen Mother, Yixi Weishe took me to the top of Lingzhou City. Only then did I know that the Song Dynasty had transformed two hundred giant ships overnight!"
"Not only that, my nephew came all the way with Yesi Weishe, and found out that not only did they have boats, but they even built a bridge across the Yellow River in Linhe Town, which can allow six horses to run abreast and two huge vehicles to cross!"
Yi Ma Dangzheng nodded: "What Du Guan said is true. I inquired with the people of Jingzhou who entered the city, and they also said that the Song Army built a large pontoon bridge ten miles downstream of Jingzhou, and that the army was coming from the other side in a steady stream."
The expressions of the officials in the palace changed drastically. If the Yellow River can no longer be relied upon, can this battle still be fought?
Liang Yi Duomi continued to cry: "The Xingqing government was not convinced about the Hanoi incident. It was only when I arrived in Lingzhou that I realized that the overall situation was irreversible!"
"Our estimate was wrong! It was all wrong! We thought that General Manager Liang and General Manager Ren Duo commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if the entire army was annihilated, the Song people would at least suffer heavy losses!"
"However, according to what my nephew has seen, this is not the case at all. The Song army is still fully equipped with armor and strong combat power. Especially their new gray army, which has been fighting for several months, has only lost a few hundred people!"
"Now the Song people also have iron kites! Half of our iron kites were buried in the Wuding River and half in the Lingzhou canals. All their armor and equipment were captured by the Song people. They equipped them into a heavy cavalry, commanded by Liu Changzuo.
, called Xiao Rui.”
"It was this team, combined with the two light cavalry of Leopard and Tiger Wings, that took Liangzhou lightly!"
"Queen Mother, Prime Minister, this battle is no longer possible..."
Liang Yimi asked coldly: "What are the regulations of Su You?"
Liang Yiduo turned his head and scanned the officials in the palace. There was no general with outstanding reputation, and his heart was filled with despair: "Yixi Weishe said that the Xia Kingdom must give up all dreams and illusions now, and all troops should immediately put down their weapons."
, stopped resisting, and after the Song army entered the city, everyone in the Xia court quietly stayed at home and waited for disposal."
"From now on, the Song Dynasty will never trust us again. If he wants to talk, he will only talk to the leader of the country."
"The Song Dynasty will not make any more conditions, and the Xia Kingdom can't make any more conditions. It must... surrender unconditionally!"
"Now we can only return the power to the lord of the country, ask him to come forward to discuss with the Song people, and delay the time..."
"Pull it down! Lock it up!" Empress Dowager Liang stood up, waved her hands in the air, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I don't believe it! The Song Army turned into copper heads and iron arms overnight?!"
"Hanoi's army of 500,000 people, Liang Yongneng, and Ren Duo are the most powerful generals in the world. How can the Song people not pay a price? That Su You is so scheming, you have been deceived again!"
"Queen Mother!" Liang Yiduo buried his head and said: "Everything my nephew said is true. The weapons and equipment of the Song Army are too sharp. Queen Mother, Yixi Weishe is still waiting for a reply. He said that if there is no reply at midnight tomorrow,
, we must attack the imperial city..."
"Drag it down! Drag it down quickly! If you were not my nephew, I would kill you right outside the palace just because of your deception!"
Yi Ma Dangzheng stepped forward and grabbed Liang Yiduo's arm and dragged him up. Liang Yiduo's face was covered with blood and he was still struggling: "Even if I have to imprison my nephew, I beg the Queen Mother to send someone to release the king.
Fight for the last chance to negotiate! The Queen Mother, think twice, think twice..."
