Chapter 1051 Jurchen Infighting
Drums were beating loudly, and ten thousand musketeers quickly retreated. They rushed to the woods two miles away to the south, and two thousand cavalry slowly covered their southward retreat.
Ten thousand heavy armored infantry lined up, and the first row of 3,300 people squatted on the ground, holding their long handles against the ground, and pointed their sharp long swords at the galloping cavalry.
The Jurchen cavalry had no time to stop and collided with the heavy armored infantry. Hundreds of people were pierced by sharp long swords and screamed.
Eight thousand Song Army cavalry came from both sides. Nearly 20,000 Song Army and seven thousand Jurchen cavalry fought fiercely together. Although the Jurchen cavalry were strong, the Song Army cavalry was well-trained and not weak, let alone 10,000 more powerful heavy infantry.
The Jurchen cavalry faced the Song army which was three times their size. They gradually lost the wind, and their casualties increased. They could only parry, but had no power to fight back.
At this time, seeing that the time had come, Wang Gui immediately ordered: "Shoot the rocket!"
A rocket soared into the sky, dragging a long black smoke across the air, and suddenly 30,000 Song Army cavalrymen appeared from the forest behind Wanyan Yinkeshu and 5,000 Jurchen cavalrymen. A complete phalanx, with swift horses and murderous aura, swept towards the five thousand Jurchen cavalry.

When Wang Gui led his army to fight fiercely with 20,000 Jin soldiers in Dading Mansion, Niu Gao also led 50,000 troops from Koryo to attack Xianping Mansion, and 50,000 Song troops attacked Pingguo City at night. Annihilation of 10,000 defenders cut off the way for the Jin soldiers of Liaoyang Prefecture to retreat.
At this time, Li Yanqing led an army of 450,000 troops out of Yuguan, captured Jinzhou two days later, and attacked Liaoyang Prefecture overwhelmingly.
Seeing that the general situation was over, Wanyan Zongbi had no choice but to abandon Liaoyang Mansion, bypass Xianping Mansion from the west, and retreat northward, but happened to meet Wang Gui's army coming from the west. The army finished attacking Yan Zongbi from left to right.
The Jin army was defeated and almost the entire army was wiped out. Wanyan Zongbi only led 3,000 remnant troops to break through the siege and flee towards Beijing.
At this time, the Kingdom of Jin was besieged on all sides. The 250,000 grassland coalition forces fought fiercely with the Jin soldiers for three days and three nights in Linhuang Mansion, and finally defeated Wanyan Zongwang's 70,000 troops. Wanyan Zongwang was killed in the battle. The army was destroyed.
But the grassland coalition forces also paid a heavy price of nearly 100,000 casualties. Four of the thirteen tribes were killed in battle, and the chief of the Naiman tribe also died on the battlefield.
According to the covenant signed last year, the Grassland Alliance Army is responsible for capturing Linhuang Mansion, while the Song Army is responsible for conquering Shangjing, and then the Jurchen and Bohai tribes will belong to the Grassland Alliance Army, and the Song Army will occupy the land of the Jin Kingdom.
But the Shiwei tribe was determined to regain their homeland. Regardless of the dissuasion of the other ministries, the great chief Arudin led 30,000 Shiwei troops to kill north of Shangjing, which was their homeland. The 30,000 troops began to massacre the tribes of Jurchen.
After Li Yanqing captured Liaoyang Mansion, he did not rush northward, but rectified the army, and 200,000 civilians continuously transported food, grass and materials to Liaoyang Mansion.
At this time, Wanyan Ningji came to Liaoyang Mansion again, hoping to reach a final peace treaty with Li Yanqing, but Li Yanqing did not meet him, but asked Liu Kai to negotiate with him.
In the big tent, Liu Qi handed over a list of conditions drafted by Li Yanqing to Wanyan Ningji.
After reading the list, Wanyan Ningji couldn't say a word for a long time. The conditions were too harsh, no different from subjugation.
Actually, the conditions offered by Li Yanqing were exactly the same as those offered to Xixia.
Article 1, the wolf lord of the Kingdom of Jin was removed from the title of emperor, changed to the title of Jurchen king, became a courtier of the Song Dynasty, and moved south to Lin'an.
Article 2, all troops must surrender immediately. If the surrender is sincere enough, the Song Army can cancel the surrender ceremony.
Article 3: The Kingdom of Jin surrendered, and the Wanyan royal family and their wives and daughters were escorted by the Song Army to live in Yanjing, and their personal property was preserved.
Article 4. When the Kingdom of Jin surrendered, the Song army would treat all the Jurchen ministries well. Except for Han Chinese slaves, other property and land would not be invaded, and their descendants would be allowed to live in Liaodong for generations.
Article 5, when the Kingdom of Jin surrendered, the Song army will strictly control the military discipline, and any phenomenon of plundering the people is not allowed.
Article 6: The Kingdom of Jin surrendered, and the Song Dynasty governed the old land of the Kingdom of Jin in accordance with the Hexi method. At the same time, some Jurchens who could understand Chinese were promoted as county officials as appropriate.
Wanyan Ningji shook his head again and again, "This condition is no different from subjugation, I'm afraid we can't accept it!"
Liu Kai said: "The principle cannot be changed, and some details can be discussed."
Wanyan Ningji pointed to the first one and said: "First of all, if the title of Jin Kingdom is cancelled, then the country will be subjugated. This is unacceptable."
"The state title of the Kingdom of Jin must be abolished. To go to the title of emperor, there is no choice. At most, the Jurchen king will be changed. In addition, it can be discussed that, except for the Jurchen king who must go to Lin'an, if the other kings remove the throne, they can stay in Liaodong as tribal chiefs. , but there must be hostages living in Yanjing, other than that, other conditions must not be changed.”
Wanyan Ningji had no choice but to say: "I'll go back and discuss it. I have no right to make decisions about these conditions."
"Yes! But there is a time limit of ten days. If there is no response within ten days, it will be regarded as a refusal. The Song army will attack Shangjing in a large scale."
"I see!"
Wan Yan Ningji left the big tent of the Song Army, Liu Kai hurried to the big tent of the Chinese Army, and said to Li Yanqing: "This condition frightened them."
Li Yanqing smiled and said: "It's not necessarily frightening, the key is that Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun and others don't want to go to the Song Dynasty, as long as they are allowed to stay in Liaodong as chiefs, they can agree to other conditions, the worst is to return to Jurchen Before the founding of the nation."
Liu Kai asked worriedly: "What the commander-in-chief said makes sense, but will this leave hidden dangers, and Jurchen will make a comeback in the future?"
Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Do you think I will give them a chance? Even if I agree to them, will the grassland coalition agree? They are still waiting to take away the Jurchen and Bohai tribes."
Liu Kai became even more confused, "In this case, why did Dushuai make conditions?"
"So, you are still lacking in politics! What about the art of war, military strategy, this condition may be acceptable to Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zongjun, but what about Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi? Can they accept it?"
Liu Kai finally understood, "Does Shuai want to stir up civil turmoil in Jin?"
Li Yanqing nodded, "Exactly, this is called two peaches killing three scholars."
"Where does Dushuai think the breakthrough point will be?"
Li Yanqing laughed, "This Wanyan Ningji went to the Song camp twice, but he didn't mention their emperor Wanyan Quan at all. Wanyan Zongpan and others regard him as a puppet, but Wanyan Quan will never Seeing that the ancestor's foundation is over, he will definitely fight back, a young emperor is the fuse of Jin's internal strife, we just wait and see what happens."
. ． ． ． ． ． ．
In the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, a young **** rushed to the martial arts field in the harem, and found a young man who was riding a horse and archery, "Little wolf master, it's amazing!"
This young man is the 12-year-old emperor Wanyan Quan of the Kingdom of Jin. Although the Kingdom of Jin pays attention to brother succession, it also pays attention to the priority of the first son. After Wanyan Xie also passed away, the first generation of successors came to an end.
Then came the second generation. Since Wanyan Aguda's eldest son, Wanyan Zongjun, passed away early, Wanyan Sheng decided to be succeeded by Wanyan Aguda's eldest grandson, Wanyan Quan, the son of Wanyan Zongjun.
This is also Wanyan Sheng's knowledge that the competition for the throne within the Kingdom of Jin is extremely fierce, no matter who takes over, there will be a civil war for the throne, and only the young grandson succeeds, leaving everyone speechless.
However, although the chaos of fighting for position has stopped, Yan Sheng is powerless after the battle for power.
"What's the news?" Wan Yanquan asked as he got off his horse.
The little **** rushed forward and whispered: "They are secretly negotiating with Song Jun, and I heard that Song Jun has offered conditions."
"What condition?"
"I only heard two points, one is the abolition of the Jin Guoguo and the Emperor, and the other is that Xiaolang will mainly move to Lin'an."
Wan Yanquan's eyes widened suddenly, canceling the title of the country and the title of emperor, wouldn't the Kingdom of Jin be destroyed?
Wanyan Quan said angrily: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"But I heard they might say yes."
Of course Wanyan Quan knew who they were referring to, the three uncles Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyan Xi Nilie.
"I'll find them!"
As soon as Wanyan Quan walked to the gate of the palace, he met Wanyan Loushi head-on. After Wanyan Loushi was sent back to the Kingdom of Jin by the Song Dynasty, his body was completely destroyed, and he couldn't even pull his bow and arrow. The Minister of the Household Department is in charge of the treasury of the Kingdom of Jin.
In the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Jin, he was a supporter of Wanyan Zonghan. Wanyan Zonghan failed to fight for power and was placed under house arrest, but he escaped.
"Master Little Wolf, where are you going?"
Wanyan Lou saw Wanyan Quan's face full of grief and indignation, so he blocked his way.
"Does the old general know about Ban Bo Jilie's negotiations with the Song Army?"
"I know."
Wanyan Loushi sighed, "Little Wolf Lord, the situation is not good!"
"How serious is it?"
Wanyan Loushi took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "This is Song Jun's condition!"
Wan Yanquan took the paper and read it again, her eyes turned red immediately, "This is the condition for the subjugation of the country! Can we agree?"
"The problem is that Wanyan Zongpan and the others have already decided to accept it. They will continue to return to the tribe as great chiefs, and their interests will not be lost. As for the survival of the Jin Kingdom, he can no longer care about it."
Wan Yanquan almost fainted: "Old General, what should we do?"
Wanyan Loushi pondered for a while and said: "Actually, there is only one way. Let Nianhan come out to preside over the military administration. He is a staunch defender of the interests of the Jin Kingdom. He would rather die in battle than surrender. There is also Wushu, and he will not accept such a thing. Terms."
Nianhan is Wanyan Zonghan, because his prestige in the army is too high, Wanyan Zongpan dare not kill him, but put him under house arrest in the mansion.
"Fourth Uncle is back?"
Wan Yan Lou Shi nodded, "He's just outside the city!"
Wanyan Quan bowed his head and remained silent for a while, Wanyan Lou Shi sighed and said: "If Lord Little Wolf can accept the conditions, then the old minister will have nothing to worry about!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave, Wan Yanquan grabbed his hand and said in tears, "No one will help me except the old general, I am willing to obey the old general's arrangement!"
Wanyan Loushi's eyes flashed a stern light. He knew that the Kingdom of Jin could not be saved, but he absolutely could not accept the humiliating surrender.
He nodded slowly, "The old minister will not disappoint Lord Little Wolf!"
