Chapter 143: March
On September 19, the third year of Shaoding, with Gao Huaiyuan's order, the Song army stationed in Xihezhou, Tianshui Army, Chengzhou, and Fengzhou immediately raised their own troops, and drove into the territory of the Jin State at the junction of the Song army, and the troops entered the Lintao Road and Fengxiang Road in the territory of the Jin State in three ways. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yue Kun and He Jin led the army directly into the metal Qinzhou City, as soon as the cannon sounded, the city gate of Qinzhou City was immediately opened, and a few bloody human heads hung on the city, from the hairstyle, it was known that it was the head of the Jurchens, an official wearing the official uniform of the Song Dynasty, with a group of officials wearing various clothes, immediately greeted out of Qinzhou City, holding the Qinzhou seal and presented it to Yue Kun.
Yue Kun didn't take the seal, but said with a smile: "Lord Fang, you don't have to be polite, you should keep this big seal!" Yue was only ordered to help you defend against the Mongol army! For local affairs, Yue will not care, so local government affairs still have to be handled by you! ”
The official surnamed Fang was completely relieved, and he thanked him again and again before taking the seal back and asking Yue Kun to wait for him to enter the city to rest...
Yue Kun smiled again: "That's not necessary, after giving the military order, I don't dare to delay, and I have to lead the army to the north immediately, so I won't stay here for a long time, and the banquet and the like will wait until after the victory and return to the division!" I was ordered to leave the former soldiers and horses here to assist you in guarding Qinzhou, and I hope you will be properly settled! ”
So Yue Kun pointed out a general and led a thousand elite soldiers to enter the city with the officials of that line, while he himself led the army to bypass Qinzhou City and drive in the direction of Lintao Mansion. Looking at the Song army that continued to pass through Qinzhou, the officials and people of Qinzhou were all amazed in their hearts, how could they have seen the Song army so majestic! Everyone secretly rejoiced that they fortunately didn't fight with the Song army this time, otherwise, so many Song troops rushed up in one go, how could the small city of Qinzhou stop their pace! Fortunately, it was their officials who accepted the surrender of the Song Dynasty, otherwise, this time they would definitely be crushed into powder by this mighty and majestic Song army.
The officer of the Song army who stayed in Qinzhou immediately entered the city of Qinzhou with his generals, and according to the prior agreement, first gathered the original Jin soldiers in the city, and then collected their weapons, moved them out of Qinzhou City, and stationed them outside the city to accept the reorganization, but they took over the defense of Qinzhou City and included Qinzhou into the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty.
This kind of thing happened soon after in Fengxiang Mansion, Gao Huaiyuan personally led the army and Huang Yan's Chuzhou Army and Lu Youliang's Jinzhou Army to join forces, and tens of thousands of troops drove to the outside of Fengxiang Mansion.
Although some Jin troops along the way did not receive the order to surrender, or were unwilling to surrender, but when they saw so many Song troops driving into the Jin Realm, no one had the courage to hit the tip of the Song army's guns with their heads, so the Jin soldiers along the way immediately scattered and ran away, not causing any trouble for the Song army at all, even if some walled forts did not surrender, Gao Huaiyuan just ordered Huang Yan or Zhou Hao to casually use artillery to bombard a few cannons, and then opened the gates of these Jin army strongholds. He led the army to rush in and chirp, and dealt with the Jin army who tried to resist stubbornly, basically without much delay, and three days later, he arrived at the city of Fengxiang Mansion. Yang Lianxing of Fengxiang Mansion also announced his submission to the Song Dynasty in the city on the same day, and the city was in chaos, and some Jurchen officials or officers immediately tried to prevent Yang Lianxing from surrendering the city, but Yang Lianxing immediately sent troops to suppress it, chopped off the heads of those who did not agree to surrender, and sent people to raid their homes, killing all the doors, and soon suppressed the opposition in the city.
Moreover, Yang Lianxing told those subordinates in the city, whether they were Han or Jurchen, told them the reason why he surrendered to the Song Dynasty this time, and also told them that as long as they surrendered to the Song Dynasty together, the Song Dynasty would never be difficult for them, and they could ensure that their families and family property were not violated, and they could retain their official positions...
So the opposition in the city gradually quieted down, even if a few people were not very willing, but now that the general trend has gone, they have no good way, either follow the example of those who resisted in the early stage, and be killed all over the house, or they can only honestly accept this reality and follow Yang Lianxing to join the Great Song Dynasty.
Gao Huaiyuan's Chinese army had not yet arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, and he saw some officials wearing brand-new Song Dynasty official uniforms kneeling beside the road with seals and ribbons on the road, so he turned over and dismounted, and strode in front of these people...
"This must be Lord Yang Lianxing! This official is Gao Huaiyuan! Luckily! Hurry up, please! Gao Huaiyuan recognized the fat man kneeling in the middle, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up. As soon as Yang Lianxing heard that this tall and majestic Song General was his thunderous Gao Huaiyuan, he thanked him again and again, but he didn't dare to say anything, he was helped up by Gao Huaiyuan, and said: "The criminal officer Yang Lianxing is late to greet Gao Shuxiang!" I hope that the senior minister will forgive me! ”
Gao Huaiyuan went to pick up the other Jin Dynasty officials who surrendered with Yang Lianxing, ordered people to set up stools on the side of the road, and talked to Yang Lianxing.
Yang Lianxing told Gao Huaiyuan about his suppression of the opposition forces in Fengxiang Mansion today, and even claimed guilty...
"Huh! NUS people are truly believers! You can set things right like this and return to our dynasty, not only is you not guilty, but you have merit, and you are also the first merit! Gao is not talented, and he is willing to ask for credit for the people of the University of China to go to Beijing in person to ensure that the people of the University and all of you can be promoted! Gao Huaiyuan laughed loudly.
Yang Lianxing and the others hurriedly stood up and thanked them again and again.
"You're welcome! My dynasty has been weak for a hundred years, and although your ancestors descended to the Jin, it can only be said that they were forced to do helplessly, and I only blame them for abandoning them at the beginning! It's not your fault! And now that you can bring your followers back to our dynasty again, it is your wise move, and your merits will be recorded for the country and the people! And Guanzhong has been the homeland of our Han people since ancient times, and now it has returned to the hands of our Great Song Dynasty with you, and you can be said to have made great contributions! You can rest assured that this official has always counted his words, and he will never break his word and gain weight! This time, this official entered Shaanxi to save the people of Guanzhong in danger, and I ask you to help Gao a lot! Gao Huaiyuan said to Yang Lianxing and others again...
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Yang Lianxing and others felt that their faces were bright, although they had descended to the Song Dynasty, they were still afraid that Gao Huaiyuan and their Song Dynasty officials would look down on themselves and give their faces to these generals, but when Gao Huaiyuan expressed his position again, they felt that their waists were also straightened, and they felt that they were really doing the right thing this time, not only were they not cowards, but they became national heroes in Gao Huaiyuan's mouth, so they were all very moved, and once again under the leadership of Yang Lianxing, they knelt down and thanked Gao Huaiyuan repeatedly...
Like Qinzhou, Gao Huaiyuan only sent troops to take over the city defense and security of Fengxiang Mansion, and ordered to post notices in all villages, towns, counties and townships inside and outside the city, informing the local people that now they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty again, and there is no need to panic, the Great Song Dynasty will send troops to protect their safety, and it is written in the notice that once anyone is found to try to oppose this move, they will be severely punished, and those who try to rebel will be rewarded.
Although some local Jurchen nobles were not willing to let the Southern Song Dynasty take the land of Guanzhong again, and gathered some people to try to make trouble, but the common people themselves have rods and scales in their hearts, and the gold lord can't protect them, because they were killed by the Mongols, and now the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty have arrived here, to protect them, they are naturally willing to accept this protection, so when some Jurchens try to make trouble, there are often people who fly to report to the official army, and the official army immediately sends troops to suppress it. They were all beheaded until they killed their entire family, and Gao Huaiyuan was ruthless at this point, because it involved the rule of the Great Song Dynasty over this place in the future...
Of course, there are also some local people who hate those Jurchen nobles who have been oppressing them, when they learned that Fengxiang Road has now announced that they will return to the Great Song Dynasty, immediately some people will gang up to find those Jurchen nobles to take revenge, rush into the homes of the Jurchen nobles and loot and kill people, for this kind of thing, the Jurchens asked the government for protection, Gao Huaiyuan considered that after all, it is not easy to arouse the hatred of the Jin people against the Great Song Dynasty at the moment, so he also ordered the military to send people to suppress it to protect the personal and property safety of this part of the Jurchen nobles who are willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the Song army issued a strict order not to disturb the people, and sacrificed the slogan of the Yuejia army a hundred years ago, starving to death will not be taken captive, frozen to death will not demolish the house, as long as it is found that there are Song officers and soldiers who take the opportunity to harm the local people, they will all be pulled out on the spot* and hung their heads to show the public, so as to appease the local people.
After all, the people here have accepted the rule of the Jurchens for about a hundred years, and it is not a simple slogan to let them recognize their ancestors and return to their origins, the common people do not eat this set, they recognize the benefits, whoever is good to them, they are willing to be ruled by whom, and the Song army can only use this kind of pro-people means to buy the hearts of these local people.
At the same time, the meticulous workers disguised themselves as local people, spread out and went deep into the people, and vigorously promoted the benevolence and righteousness of the Song army and the benefits of returning to the Song court, these things had actually begun secretly more than a month ago, so this time Gao Huaiyuan led the army to take over Fengxiang Mansion, which was basically smooth.
And Yang Lianxing and some other former ministers of the Jin State, after defecting, because they were grateful for Gao Huaiyuan's trust, they also worked very hard, and even took the initiative to open the granary, gave the grain to the Song army for its use as military food, and also took the initiative to hand over the treasury to the military to take care of it, in order to show their determination to submit to the imperial court.
