Chapter 986: The Last Battle
To put it bluntly, whether it is the old party or the Tang party, one end is counted as the other, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are except for Fan Zhongyan and Wang Deyong.
All of them were played by Zhao Shu as a monkey!
Jia Xiangye has had a lot of ups and downs, and after such a while, he has experienced joys and sorrows, and he can't say what it feels like in his heart.
You know, I'm only seventeen...
After six years of training for that bastard of Tang Yi, he not only learned that crazy energy! Even Tang Zihao's bad eyes have been taken over!!
At this time, seeing Zhao Shu's cute face, it seemed that he was harmless to humans and animals, and it was more like the trick just now had nothing to do with him.
"So, Tang Zihao is not so bad?"
"No, no, no, no..."The old party ministers shook their heads very attentively.
"Then Tang Yin and the other four are not capital crimes?"
"To be investigated, to be investigated...."
"Then this ancestral oath ......"
"Can't be broken!! Never break! This time, without waiting for Zhao Shu to finish speaking, the civil officials couldn't wait to make a conclusion.
"Hmm." Zhao Shu nodded. "It seems that I blamed the Tang family by mistake!"
When the civil officials heard this, how could they let the emperor bear the responsibility and bow down together, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and it is the fault of the ministers!" β
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at me, and I looked at you, and I had no other thoughts in my heart except to admit it.
There is one thing that is very consistent, that is, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and drill directly into it, and the little officials will play it for a while, and their old faces will have nothing left.
Let's go, hurry up.
Bow down again, "If Your Majesty has no orders, the ministers will retire..."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shu, who had already finished saying and doing both things, slowly put away his expression.
"What's the hurry?"
Although the voice was not loud, it made everyone hear a chill, and when they looked up, they were all shocked.
I saw that Zhao Shu's face next to the monument was like frost, and he had long lost the cuteness he had just now.
And Zhao Shu's next words made the hearts of the old party ministers tighten.
"Do you think I've played tricks on you?"
"Wait, don't dare...."
He said he didn't dare, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Isn't this nonsense? The official family must have seen this monument a long time ago, and they must know it. Baiguan didn't dare to let him break this oath, but he deliberately acted like this, not a joke, what is it?
It's against the king's way.
"Don't you dare tell the truth?"
Zhao Shu raised his hand and stroked the inscription on the stone stele.
"It's okay, I'll admit it for you."
"I'm just joking!"
Raise your head and glared at the hundred officials.
"Do you know why I'm playing with you?"
"Because..."
"Because the Tang Zihao you want to put to death is ...... at this moment"
"I have a home, but I can't go home!"
"Raise children, but you can't teach children!"
"There is affection, but for the sake of this Great Song Dynasty, you must be ruthless!"
"The Tang Zihao you want to put to death, ...... at this moment"
"I am nesting in a corner, abandoning my wife and children for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty!!"
"The Tang Zihao you want to put to death, ...... at this moment"
"He is spending all his thoughts on stabilizing the country, but he doesn't dare to give a trace of his life to his family!!"
The more Zhao Shu spoke, the more angry he became, and the louder he roared.
"And you guys!!"
"But he stayed comfortably in the prosperous place of Beijing, the flies camped and the dogs were stubborn, and he tended to be inflammatory, and he wanted to be put to death!"
"You think it's shameless to be tricked by me, but have you ever thought about it? Shouldn't you be more ashamed of playing a loyal good!? β
Zhao Shu was already completely angry, and after six years on the throne, this was the first time he had lost his temper in front of his ministers.
However, Zhao Shu couldn't help it.
......
ββββββββββ
The great dynasty on April 15 was destined to be unusual, and under Zhao Shu's almost crazy venting and roaring, it finally survived to the scattered dynasty.
Although the civil officials of the old party were ashamed, in their opinion, the court was like this, and there was no right or wrong.
This time, the official family is naΓ―ve and extreme.
......
Zhao Shu himself knows that the last words are a bit heavy, how many people can really wake up?
As my brother-in-law said, "This is human nature, and it is also a chronic disease, which is difficult to get rid of through the ages." β
Ordered people to leave the oath monument outside the temple, and it will be visible to the world from then on, hoping to use this to warn the ministers.
......
Lao Jia is also not very interested in Zhao Shu's reprimand, if human nature can be awakened so easily, then the so-called struggle that has begun since ancient times has long since died in the long river of history.
However, Jia Xiangye still agrees with Zhao Shu's scolding today, at least the ministers of the old party will regard this as an official attitude. If nothing happens, there will be people who can't stand it tomorrow and will take the initiative to ask for a transfer out of Beijing.
With a sullen head and an unhappy face, he retreated with the ministers, and when he saw Fan Zhongyan and Wang Deyong in front, he was even more angry.
To put it bluntly, Lao Jia was appreciative in his heart, and the official family told Master Fan the truth but didn't tell him, which made him feel upset and uneasy.
Speeding up his pace, parallel to Fan Zhongyan, he muttered in a weird manner: "The old man said why your disciple refused to return to Beijing, it turned out that there was an oath to protect it!" β
Fan Zhong glanced at him, but he knew that this old man was unbalanced, so he didn't bother with him, and said slowly:
"Ziming is wrong, before this morning, except for the official family, no one knew what was written on the oath tablet, let alone the existence of this oath tablet!"
"Including Zihao."
"Huh?" Jia Changchao was a bit surprised. "Zihao doesn't know about the oath monument?"
"I don't know."
"Then why didn't he go back to Beijing!?" Jia Changchao was very puzzled.
"If there is no monument, what kind of turmoil will the court experience, don't you need to talk about it anymore?"
When Fan Zhongyan heard this, he was silent for a long time and said, "Because what he is doing is more important than anything else." β
"Oh? A small Eastern Rome deserves so much attention from Zihao? β
This time, Fan Zhongyan did not answer positively, his eyes drifted into the distance, as if he had a longing.
"At this point.... The Yazhou army should have hit the city of Constantinople, right? β
Wang De, who had not spoken for a long time, said abruptly, "It should have arrived." β
"Success or failure... Soon it will be revealed. β
Yes, when the two gods said this, Lao Jia felt even more uncomfortable.
How do you feel that these two old men still have something to hide from him?
ββββββββββββ
Mediterranean, Balkans, Constantinople.
As the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and the center of Orthodoxy, it was a true fortress, and the coastline was so endless that no warship could get even a step close to the city.
And the only land wall, under the cover of a hundred-foot moat, made Constantinople a steel nail at the junction of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and any attempt to pull out this nail would be frustrated.
However, then again, no matter how tight the fortress is, it will collapse one day, and no matter how strong the city wall is, it will look so weak in front of the cannons.
At this moment, the 100,000 crusaders and the 60,000 Yazhou army, together with the Sisax coalition army, stepped on their horses and whipped like a rolling torrent, advancing towards Constantinople.
Finally, after turning over a high hill, a large city suddenly came into view.
Donald, the commander of the crusaders, perked up and shouted: "It's here, we've finally hit the city of Constantinople!" β
Beside him, Shi Quanhai, the general of the Yazhou Army, and Edward II, the king of West Saxacs, were also happy.
Shi Quanhai couldn't help but sigh: "Finally, finally before the Seljuks, the soldiers came to the city." β
"yes!" Donald spoke half-baked Chinese. "Finally, it's finally time for this final battle!"
Yes, this is indeed the last battle, as long as Constantinople is captured, the European continent will be unified from now on, and there will be no more wars. He, a veteran of many years of war, can finally put down his sword and return to his hometown.
Of course, the hometown that Donald is talking about is not West Saks, but Kaifeng, far to the east.
"Order the three armies, camp and rest, and attack the city tomorrow."
"Ten days!" Donald glared at Constantinople in front of him. "Ten days, end this damn everything!"
"Haha...."Shi Quanhai laughed when he heard this. Ten days? β
"There is a Vulcan cannon, three days, three days at most, and the Great Song Dragon Banner will be planted at the head of the city."
"To hell with the Seljuks!"
......
Shi Quanhai didn't say big things, in front of the cannon, any city is just a decoration.
Three days!!
Three days later, in front of the Great Song warriors who were looking forward to returning home, under the collapse of the Yazhou army, the head of the city of Constantinople, before the Great Song Dynasty coalition army landed in the city, the white flag had already been raised and the city surrendered.
The surrender of the Eastern Roman Emperor marked the complete collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire in the long river of history.
......
At this time, Donald, Edward II, and Shi Quanfu walked slowly on the stone steps to the walls of Constantinople.
Looking at the morale of the high-spirited and mighty Great Song army, Donald's whole person relaxed.
Among these soldiers, there are Caucasians, yellow people, and brown people from North Africa, but they are all Song people, and they all have a beauty called hope in their eyes.
"General Shi, is your home also in Kaifeng?"
"Yes!" Shi Quanhai nodded, and his mood was also very good.
"When you return to Kaifeng, I will invite you to drink, go to the best restaurant in the Great Song Dynasty, and drink the best wine!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Edward II, who was on the side, saw that the two were chatting eagerly, and couldn't help but interject, "Take me, and the three of us will drink the best wine together." β
"No problem." Donald has it all. "Then we will be our own people!"
"yes, my own people." Edward nodded. "It should have been my own person a long time ago."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Shi Quanhai, "General Shi, now you can always tell where Tang Zihao is, right?" β
Originally, Edward II personally went east to Constantinople, and fighting side by side with the Great Song Dynasty was only one of them, and more importantly, he wanted to take the opportunity of Tang Yi to come here to promote the submission of Western Saks.
However, what Edward II didn't expect was that from the day he joined the Yazhou army, he didn't see Tang Yi's shadow, and the madman disappeared mysteriously.
"General Shi, where did Tang Zihao go? Why aren't you with the Yazhou Army? β
When Donald heard this, he also aroused his curiosity, "Yes, yes, why didn't Tang Zihao come?" β
"Moreover, I have never understood, didn't it mean that the Seljuks united with Daliao and we attacked first?"
"But why has it never seen the shadow of the Great Liao army since the moment it stepped into the territory of Eastern Rome?"
"And what about Mamluk in Egypt? Why didn't it appear on the battlefield either? β
These questions have been bothering Donald for a while, but Shi Quanhai doesn't say it, and the war is tense, so he can't ask.
Now that Constantinople has been taken, Shi Quanhai should also explain clearly, right?
Regarding the questions of the two, Shi Quanhai just smiled slightly, and sold the guanzi again.
"Of course Tang Zihao is going to stop the Great Liao army, otherwise how could you not see a single Liao soldier in Eastern Rome?"
"Block!?"
The two were shocked, Tang Zihao personally went to intercept the Great Liao army?
It is said that Da Liao sent 300,000 troops to the west, and it was also the emperor's own driver.
Tang Zihao: Why did he stop him?
......
ββββββββββ
Donald's worries are not unreasonable, Tang Yi personally went to intercept Yelu Hongji, why should he? And where to intercept it?
At this moment, Tang Yi was actually doing the same thing as Donald and the others, and was climbing the stone steps of the city tower step by step, with Cao Tong and Pan Feng beside him.
While Pan Feng ascended to the city, he did not forget to recall the news he had just received.
"Who would have thought that such a stone tablet would be hidden in the temple, and I didn't expect that the official family would also make the stone tablet public to the world in order to keep you."
In this regard, Tang Yi could only respond with a sigh.
Said leisurely: "The official family thought that he couldn't do without me, but in fact, he didn't realize it himself, he was already a good emperor." β
"Do you really want to quit?" Cao Tong still can't accept Tang Yi's decision.
"The Taizu Oath Monument is erected there, even if you want to leave, it will not be so easy."
β......β
Tang Yi was silent, Zhao Shu really took him into the army this time.
What he didn't expect was that Zhao Zhen would leave such a hand before leaving.
The oath monument is erected, which means that the ancestors of the Zhao family have unconditional trust in Tang Yi, and it means that he can't live up to the sincerity of the first emperor, how can he just leave?
He sighed with a headache: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's take care of it after solving the matter in front of you." β
The two nodded, indeed, the things in front of them were indeed much more important than the trivial things in Kaifeng City.
Because, this may really be the last battle.
As they spoke, the three of them had come to the top of the city.
I saw that at the head of the city, where the spears were lined up and the armor soldiers were on guard, a white-haired old general was guarding the school, leaning against the wall with a solemn face, looking into the distance.
Tang Yi greeted him, and bowed respectfully, "Di Shuai, what's the situation?" β
The person in front of him is the first general of the Great Song Dynasty, Di Qing and Di Hanchen.
The old general saw that it was Tang Yi who went to the city, and replied indifferently: "It's here!" β
Pointing ahead, "See for yourself." β
.....
Tang Yi stood beside him, condescendingly following his expectations.
I saw that as far as the eye could see, it was already full of soldiers and generals, and they were murderous.
On the ground full of smoke and dust, in the rumbling sound of the sky, the boundless cavalry infantry battle was slowly pressing towards the front of the city.
600,000!
600,000 soldiers were overwhelming, and in the middle of the fierce enemy formation, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji was under the guard of the generals, wearing armor and hanging swords, and looked at Tang Yi from afar.
......
The sun is shining in the red glow.
The glow of the sun dyed Tang Yi's eyes red, and it was also the vast Gubei Pass....
Sprinkle a touch of blood!
