It's only three months since the war broke out in March, and it's amazing where the three armies went. They even staged the classic stages of winning without fighting!
Xu Feng thought it would be very difficult for Zhang Qingqing to attack the famous city and Youzhou, but he never thought it would be so easy! The garrison generals of Mingyang City, Youzhou city and even Daming mansion will not fight!
Zhang Qingqing's most tiring job was to break through the border area from Liaodong! That battle was a great effort. Zhang Qingqing picked eight enemy generals and robbed eight heads in anger! After that, it was very easy.
Moreover, after the surrender of the generals of the three places, there was no need to appease the people, because it was already the people's will. Moreover, just after the surrender of the garrison of the three important cities, the surrounding counties surrendered.
Zhang Qingqing private investigation, soon found out the reason, she found that door-to-door actually are secretly worshipping Xu Feng's memorial tablet, written on the "famous great virtue emperor" words!
Moreover, many elderly people, not even many people in their 50s, praise Xu Feng's kindness and scold Zhao Min for being ungrateful!
In fact, Xu Feng has only been in the Southern Song Dynasty for 12 years, but in the past 12 years, he has developed the Southern Song Dynasty from a bullying country to an oriental overlord. Everywhere he goes, he will submit to the people. In addition, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even some foreigners take the initiative to surrender in order to pursue such a life!
Moreover, in China, no matter in culture, education, medical treatment, housing and other aspects, it is the cheapest, and there are almost no beggars in China.
The older beggars were sent to the shelter to live in their prime, while the younger ones were ordered to work in mulberry farming and farming to earn a lot of money. It can be said that this is a time when people can live well as long as they have physical strength, hands and feet.
Moreover, this is also a time when there is no preference for boys over girls. It's true that Xu Feng didn't abolish polygamy, but he has great demands on men. It's not allowed to disrespect women, maliciously hurt or humiliate women. If there are criminals, the most serious ones will be beheaded.
Because of this, this country has been extremely expected by the people.
However, in the years since Xu Feng left, especially in the last 10 years, the whole country has changed.
As Zhao Min grew up, he became more and more independent in character, but also more and more dictatorial. He trusted treacherous officials, brought troubles to the court, wantonly persecuted Zhongliang, and committed heinous crimes. All this was to eliminate Xu Feng's influence in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, it backfired.
Since ancient times, the people are the most important, the country is the least important, and the monarch is the least important. If the monarch understands this, the people will pay attention to you, but you ignore these, and always want to be arrogant, and God will accept you!
In fact, the three garrison generals wanted to resist, but the common people first protested in the city. They didn't want to be the enemy of the famous King. Therefore, the garrison generals had to obey the public opinion, otherwise, they would be met by death.
This "storm of fame" blew from the north to the whole country, and more and more state capitals fell without fighting. Originally, Xu Feng's partners thought that the battle would be hard to advance step by step, but unexpectedly, the battle became easier and easier.
Soon, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty continued to shrink on the basis of only a few third of the original, and it was only Henan Province.
Finally, in the middle of the second year of this era, that is, in the midsummer of July, Xu Feng's famous army came to Bianliang city.
The gates of Bianliang city are locked, and the walls are full of archers, but they are facing the famous artillery.
Ten years ago, there were many such guns in the song army. But that year, after Yue Fei died, Zhao Min ordered people to dig up Yue Fei's tomb and burn down his body. After claiming that the guns were ominous, he ordered the song army to melt all these treasures into weapons. In this way, the song army completely degenerated into the era of cold weapons.
Nowadays, many experienced veterans and generals shudder when they see this kind of gun.
Xu Feng, riding the grandson of the sweaty BMW that Yue Fei gave him, a pure black blooded horse came to the downstairs of the city. He didn't pull his sword out of the sheath, but just smile: "brothers, long time no see."
On the city, many senior lieutenants burst into tears. You know, 40 years ago, they were recruits. At that time, Xu Feng had already finished their collars and taught them martial arts. For the next 30 years, they lived a very comfortable life. When they got older, they all became generals, and their families became wives and children.
In the last 10 years, Zhao Min had to use them, because if they were all killed, his country would be unstable. He knew this very well. However, they did not dare to entrust heavy responsibilities to these people, so they all removed senior officials and demoted to Deputy generals.
There are many such officers. Although they are not senior officials, they are all backbone forces.
At this time, the Emperor didn't show his head, but the treacherous minister appeared first. This treacherous minister was no one else, and he was the famous Han Yuzhou!In the official history of Han kuozhou, his reputation is mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and adultery. However, in Xu Feng's history, he is a traitor to the letter, because Yue Fei's idea was to open the museum and kill his corpse!
So when I saw him, Xu Feng's eyes became cold and aggressive.
Han Jianzhou saw Xu Feng's momentum, across the tens of meters high tower were scared: "you, you are the anti thief Xu Feng?"
Xu Feng said coldly, "yes, that's Lao Tzu. Are you Han gouthief?"
Han kuozhou was surprised. Relying on his large number of people, he angrily scolded: "you You dare to scold me, you bold traitor, you don't believe me... "
Voice just fell, Wang Xiaokun's cold arrow has been shot, this arrow is very accurate to knock off the other party's gossamer hat, it shot at the far end of the post!
Two treacherous officials behind Han Zhuozhou are going to pull out the arrow, but most of the arrow has gone into the pillar. Let alone them, even the powerful generals of Kong Wuzhou can't pull it out!
"go back and tell the dog emperor that in three hours, Kaicheng will surrender and kowtow to brother Yuefei's grave, and my famous King will spare his life, On the day of the city's destruction, he will be put to death Wang Xiaokun said angrily.
Han did not dare to say another word, for fear that he would die on the tower and run away.
Three hours, six hours. This is the time Xu Feng gave Zhao min.
To be honest, in less than a year and a half, there was only one Henan Province left in the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty. No, to be more exact, there was only one Bianliang city left. This was something that everyone could not think of. But it was precisely because of this that the rulers were in a high degree of panic.
On the court hall, the previously bustling queue of officials has become uneven, with only one or two out of ten people present, which was totally impossible 30 years ago.
Now, in 1182 ad, Zhao Min is only 55 years old, but he looks much older than 65 years old.
Not to mention that 40 years ago, that is, 15 years ago, the court hall was not like this. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was full of talented people, and there were countless powerful generals. Therefore, the court hall was deliberately built, from the original length of 7749 meters to 9981 meters. Now, such a large court hall is extremely empty, even frightening.
The treacherous and sycophants have already run away. Even his favorite Han Yuzhou has not come back. Instead, he runs from the south gate. However, he can't run, because outside the city, Xu Feng has set up a total of seven checkpoints to prevent him from sticking to his guard, unless Han Yuzhou will fly away.
The rest are still loyal officials, such as Li Wenzhong, Li Gang's grandson.
Li Gang is one of the few people who has not been punished by Zhao min after his death, because Li Gang is still very loyal to the Song Dynasty. The reason why Yue Fei and others are treated badly after their death is that they are loyal to Xu Feng, which is also the thing Zhao Min is most afraid of.
So now, Li Gang's descendants have been given preferential treatment by Zhao min.
Li Wenzhong is the second son of Li Gang's eldest son. He is also the highest ranking official. Now he is prime minister Zuo pushe and Han Jianzhou, one loyal and one traitor. He was in charge of admonishment, while Han Jianzhou was in charge of playing tricks on the superior and flattering the inferior. In fact, Zhao Min is not a fool. He knows the art of checks and balances very well. Under his administration, the country is actually quite good. Although it is not as prosperous as when Xu Feng was here, the life of the common people is fairly good.
"Why, Li Aiqing, please tell me why? I've been very good to the people these years. Why did they turn against me and surrender without fighting? "
