The First Champion Chapter 574
After a while, crying and howling sounded behind Zong Han. In the Hong family village, people burned, killed, raped and looted, and blood flowed like a river.
Chapter 644 Arming Jingzhou
After the founding of the Jurchen state, it was a small clan that ruled over the subjects of many other ethnic groups that were much larger than them.
So they have a set of strict laws that govern ethnic groups other than Jurchen in the Jin Dynasty.
Hong Tianming was tied to a wooden stake. Several Jurchen Tartars grinned cruelly, poured some combustion-supporting oil, and lit the fire.
Several young descendants desperately tried to come forward to rescue them, but were randomly chopped down by the Jurchen Tartars.At this time, Longshan is full of Jurchen elites, and soon they will pour into Youyan from the Longshan valley and the Luan River area.
Jingzhou was the first to bear the brunt, and the soldiers and horses in the city moved back and forth to reinforce several nearby fortresses and serve as horns for each other.
The current morale of the Song army is not what it used to be, and of course they will not abandon the surrounding fortresses without a fight.
Xie Yuan had already made preparations for a field battle with Jurchen outside the city. At this time, Han Shizhong led the army and rushed to help, and people's hearts became more stable.
The defenders on the tower hurriedly lowered the suspension bridge. Han Shizhong turned his head and said, "Qu Duan, you take the headquarters to garrison the North Castle Wall, Wei Xian, you take people to garrison the East Wall, and the others follow me into the city!"
A group of soldiers, full of murderous spirit, entered Jingzhou City and twisted their wrist guards. Han Shizhong took a glance and was very satisfied with the layout of the city.
You Yan has been preparing for this big battle, so in places like Jingzhou, it is simply a complete military town.
There are not many people in the city. Once a war starts, the old, weak, women and children will be transferred first.In Jizhou and other places in the rear, there are special resettlement centers responsible for accepting and resettling these people.
Especially in the Tanzhou area, because of the long battle line, Han Shizhong executed it very thoroughly.
This is also because, during the first Youyan battle, he had seen the Jurchen's way of fighting.
Unlike fighting against other races such as Khitan and Xixia in the past, the Jurchen will not fight against you, but will confront you head-on.They like to drive vassals and raw troops to consume the enemy on the opposite side, and then use the cruel situation to oppress the opponent's taxis to start
If they were really allowed to drive a group of their own compatriots, even if these Song soldiers knew that the strong men would sever their wrists, they would inevitably have different thoughts.
Han Shizhong boarded the tower, looked at the refugees fleeing southward in Longshan area, and said in a deep voice: "The Jurchen Tartars are the most cruel and inhuman group of alien races in history. I must talk to the young master and cut the weeds and eradicate the roots! If you don’t wipe them out completely, there will be disasters when their descendants revive in the future.”
The surrounding generals Zuo Shen agreed, and nodded their heads one after another. At this time, Xie Yuan came over, clasped his fists slightly and said, "Han Shuai, just now the last general went to set up the rock-throwing camp in the south of the city, and he didn't have time to welcome him."
Han Shizhong nodded, and said: "Old Jie, there are quite a few powerful people in Yandi in Longshan area. These people form their own system and have never been under our command. At the beginning, Shaozai promised them some benefits in order to quickly recover Youyan. Now that the Jurchens have broken Longshan, these people may not be of one mind with us, and there are probably a lot of people who have surrendered gold. So the most important thing is to be careful of these guys, pretending to be Jurchen spies."
"Speaking of which, we were careless. Since the Jin people broke the state capital of the Liao state and occupied the territory of Daliao, they naturally obtained the topographic map of Youyan. It was in the hands of the Liao people for a hundred years, so the map must be It was drawn very clearly."
"Who the hell would have thought that there is still a small road in this Longshan, on the cliffs, the Jurchen Tartars really dare to walk."
Xie Yuan bared his teeth and smiled, and said: "I heard from a Liao man in the army that these Jurchen Tartars hunted tigers and deer in snow dens when it was freezing cold, and walked on steep mountain walls like shoes. flat land."
Behind Han Shizhong, a bearded military man, didn't take it seriously: "It's so mysterious, it's just a risky move, and it succeeded by luck. To put it bluntly, they don't take their own lives. These people are really ruthless. They don't just look at others Life is worthless, and I don't care about my own life."
Han Shizhong smiled and said: "Who would not care about his own life? These thieves and birds are just born with pigskin and don't know the pain."
The refugees outside the city were still going south, Han Shizhong mused, "Do you want to send someone to escort them?"
Xie Yuan shook his head and said: "These are Yan people who have lived here for generations, and they are more familiar with the road than us. Why waste troops in the current war."
Han Shizhong thought it made sense, so he stopped talking.
In Yanshan area, Hong Tianding stopped fleeing. He called everyone together and said loudly: "Old people, when we arrive at Yanshan, there are officers and soldiers blocking us. The Jurchen Tartars probably won't be able to catch up. Our Hongjiazhai has the most people , I also have some food from the Jingzhou defenders, you take it and continue to go south. The descendants of Hongjiazhai, leave a few with me here, waiting for the news of the eldest brother."
He didn't know that Hong Tianming had been burned to death at this time, and he hoped to wait here. A middle-aged man nearby whispered, "Erlang, if the younger generations stay here, I'm afraid that the people in our village won't be able to get a job on the road." food."
Hong Tianding nodded, and said: "Fourth Uncle, you take a hundred or ten people and continue walking with them. I can just keep ten people here, otherwise there will be too many people, one is that there is not enough food, and the other is that it is easy to be exposed."
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, and continued to push the food along with the people in the village.
Everyone else was eager to escape to Jizhou as soon as possible, only a few Yandi local snakes came to say goodbye to him.
A group of people lurked in the mountains, and Hong Tianding ordered his subordinates to mark the Hongjiazhai well.
"As long as the eldest brother escapes, he must go to Yanshan Mountain. We will mark the intersections everywhere, and then look around. If you need anything, come here to find me."
The nine people clasped their fists together and quickly disappeared into the jungle. These Yan people knew Yanshan Hushui best.

In Fuzhou Mansion, Yang Lin looked at Zhang Boyu who came to visit with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to rest assured and leave Cochin to see me."
Zhang Boyu smiled obsequiously, and said: "With the tiger and ben masters of our Song Dynasty guarding, Jiaozhi can be said to be Haiyan and Heqing, so don't worry about it."
Yang Lin has been busy dealing with Lingnan New Deal these days, and the situation here is much more complicated than the few provinces he passed through.
The Song Dynasty always regarded Lingnan as a remote place on the border, and did not pay much attention to it at all.
As a result, a large number of local snakes have been bred here, completely controlling the land and wealth. The abolition of corvee can be said to have directly touched their fundamental interests.
Lingnan officials, many of whom were corrupted, became their watchdogs and marionettes.
Yang Lin has been tired for the past few days, and has already found out some clues. He was so tired that Zhang Boyu came from Jiaozhi.
Yang Lin just thought it was funny, this guy was afraid that he would kill the donkey by himself, in fact, this person is still useful, Yang Lin didn't plan to do anything to him in the end.
Just when I was about to exchange some pleasantries, a guard came in and said in a low voice: "Young master, there is information from the north that the Jurchens have increased their troops in a large scale, and there seems to be a big move."
Yang Lin frowned and asked, "What did Han Shizhong say?"
At this time, the second batch of messengers had not yet arrived, and when these people came, Aguda had not officially recruited himself.
The guard shook his head and said: "Han Shuai said that there is a great possibility that the Jin people will march south across the country. But he also said, let Shao Zai rest assured that the Great Wall Corps will never let the Jin soldiers go south successfully."
Yang Lin closed his eyes, thought carefully, and said after a while: "As soon as there is news, report it immediately."
Chapter 645 Your Majesty, our strength does not allow it
It didn't take long before the next news came from the postman. The Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin led his army to attack the Song Dynasty in the south.
In the Fuzhou imperial envoy's office, Yang Lin, who was checking the account book, closed the official document upon hearing the words.
He pondered for a long time in his seat, and the officials and guards around him were all silent, without a single sound.
After a long time, Yang Lin said softly: "Lingnan Province, Fujian Road, Wuping, Longyan, and Shanghang are not good at handling things. The magistrates and officials involved in the matter will be dismissed and investigated to the end. Guangxi South Road and Guangdong South Road, I have no time to worry about it. Later, Zhang Shuye, a scholar under the Zhongshu School, ordered Zhang Shuye to come and completely clear the Lingnan Third Road."
Yang Lin got up and said: "I still say the same thing. There will always be people waiting for the official position. Don't be afraid that the matter will become a small matter. In this new policy, those who dare to obey the law will be dismissed and investigated. If a government is rotten, we will eradicate it." If a government or a state is rotten, we will cure the state.”
Everyone was shocked. After Yang Shaozai made it clear, there might be another big cleansing.
Uncle Zhang lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and once held the military and political power in a province, he was not a good match.
He has sufficient experience in governing the local area, and it is really not easy to muddle through.
Yang Lin sighed and said: "I planned to clean up the world, but I was disturbed by these Tartars after all. Aguda's personal conquest is no small matter. I have to go back to Youyan to make overall arrangements, and I won't accompany you to continue the investigation. After I leave, All gentlemen should be scrupulously observant of their duties, govern diligently, and sweep away the decadence in Lingnan. For Lingnan Sanlu, this is an unprecedented opportunity, and I hope you can leave a good name here.”
