The death of Wanyan Zonghan completely declared the Song Dynasty to have won the Yanyun battlefield, thus regaining Yunzhou, Xinzhou, Guizhou, Ruzhou, and Wuzhou. ¡ò,
Since Shi Jingtang gave the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom, two hundred years later, the Han people finally completely recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
When the flag was raised from the east wall of Yunzhou without falling, countless men of the Song Dynasty shed tears. This really took two hundred years and several generations of efforts. Many of the soldiers standing here are their ancestors. They died on the battlefield to recapture Yanyun, but now, they have finally fulfilled this wish for their ancestors and for the present. They believe that their ancestors' spirits in heaven can rest in peace.
Accompanied by a group of generals, Zhao Kai came to the city wall, gently stroked the thick city wall, and sighed: "Every brick and tile here was exchanged for the flesh and blood of my Song Dynasty man. It's really It¡¯s not easy!¡±
Zhong Shizhong, Liu Kai, Zhang Jun and others were all in tears. They had been waiting for this moment for too long and it was too hard.
Only Master Li, a heartless guy, had a calm face, and there was no trace of excitement in his eyes, "But Your Majesty, now is not the time to sigh. The people here are still waiting." , we should immediately focus on restoring Yunzhou."
He is a pragmatist. The past has passed and people are dead. If you talk about these things again, it will have no effect. We should pay more attention to those who are still alive. This is the top priority.
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "What you said makes sense, so what good suggestions do you have?"
Li Qidao: "The minister comes and goes with just one move. Doesn't the emperor know everything about it?"
"duty free."
"Exactly."
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Follow your orders."
In Master Li¡¯s view, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will collapse. There is no city wall that cannot be conquered, only the people¡¯s hearts that are difficult to conquer. Although most of the people here are Han Chinese. But after several generations, they have become very unfamiliar with their own nation. Therefore, Master Li believes that we should appease the people as soon as possible and let these compatriots return to the embrace of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
The notice was quickly posted, and the five states of Yunzhou, Xinzhou, Wuzhou, Guizhou, and Ruzhou will be exempted from personal taxes for ten years.
?? Yuzhou, Tanzhou, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, and Hunyuanzhou who also participated in this war and experienced the war will be exempt from taxes for one year.
As for other state capitals in the Yanyun area, they have received various preferential policies, which means paying less taxes.
At the same time, Li Qi promulgated the Land Rectification Act. Private land ownership was implemented, and land was given to the people based on the population of each household. Whether they were Khitans or Han people, they were treated equally and there was no difference in treatment, because from today on, they are all subjects of the Song Dynasty.
As for the funding issue of the Yunzhou government. Li Qi used land in exchange for wealth, because during Wanyan Zonghan's rule, the business in the city was controlled by Wanyan Zonghan's cronies. Now Wanyan Zonghan and all his cronies have died in the battle. Then the land in the city, especially the commercial land, will naturally belong to the imperial court. If these lands are given to the local people in Yunzhou. Li Qi felt that it was of little use because they couldn't even support themselves, so how could they have the money to do business. So Li Qi decided to call businessmen from Yanshan Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and even Bianliang in Tokyo to invest, sell the land to the businessmen, and then use the money earned from the land to build Yunzhou.
This greatly reduced the burden on the court, which meant that part of the money was made up by the merchants.
In short, these policies are all related to land, because Li Qi knows that land is the heart of the people. To win over the people, nothing is easier than land.
In addition, Li Qi organized the people to go all out for the upcoming autumn harvest. The court could only help for a while. If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on your own efforts. After this series of policies and measures, a "tsunami" of people came and went. "Long live long live, long live long live" followed, and the people of Yunzhou sang and danced in joy.
Although the war at Yanyun Battlefield is almost over, only the last pass, Yehuling, has not yet been captured, and the rest were occupied by the Song army.
Almost at the same time, the Xixia battlefield was coming to an end.
In the past few days, the Ordos grassland has ushered in what is probably the largest battle in history. Xixia, Jin, Uighur, and Song Dynasty invested a total of 200,000 to 300,000 horses here and launched an encirclement war.
It is also thanks to the fact that this is a grassland with a vast plain that Wanyan Zongwang is able to survive until now, because the Ordos grassland is really too big. Although the Song-Xia coalition army has several times more men and horses than the Jin army, it is difficult toThe siege was achieved, and Wanyan Zongwang was repeatedly allowed to escape from the encirclement. It was not until Liu Qi suddenly led an army of 10,000 people from Youyu County into the Ordos grassland and raided Wanyan Zongwang that Wu Jie's army caught up and surrounded Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zonghan is dead. If Wanyan Zongwang dies again, it will be a big blow to the Kingdom of Jin.
Compared with Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang's advantage is that his troops are all personal soldiers and are extremely loyal to him. However, his 60,000 elite troops have suffered heavy losses in the past few days, and now there are only 30,000 left here. No one is here.
Liu Yanzong, Shu Liesu and others also understood that at this point, they had completely lost and it was absolutely impossible to escape unscathed. They only had one thought in their minds now, which was to escort Wanyan Zongwang back to the country safely, and This must be done as soon as possible, because there are currently only Wu Jie and Liu Qi's troops here, and the large army is still behind. If Wu Lin and Li Dingbian's troops arrive, it will be a dead end. After some discussion, Liu Yanzong decided to leave only Some troops were divided into three breakout troops, and asked Wanyan Zongwang to take off his clothes and put them on a man with a similar build and appearance to Wanyan Zongwang, and asked Wanyan Zongwang to shave off his beard.
There is no database in ancient times. People are usually identified based on some facial features. The beard is a key. This is why Cao Cao escaped Ma Chao's pursuit after shaving off his beard.
But Wanyan Zongwang would rather die than live in such embarrassment. If he shaved off his beard, wouldn't he be a eunuch?
"However, Master Li shaves often and always maintains his handsome appearance. Although some people often use this matter to criticize Master Li, Master Li can't control so much. The beard is mine, it¡¯s none of your business. With such a long beard, even kissing is a problem.
Liu Yanzong was anxious, so a group of generals rushed forward, forcibly shaved off Wanyan Zongwang's beard, and surrounded Wanyan Zongwang on his horse.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the soldiers and knew that they were desperately trying to protect him, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Yanzong and the fake Wanyan Zongwang led the Chinese army to break through the encirclement on the middle road. Shu Liesu and other generals led a group of troops to break out on the left wing. However, Wanyan Zongwang and General Huoli led a group of troops to break out on the right wing.
This really drew Wu Jie's attention away. He came here just to capture Wanyan Zongwang and personally led his troops to besiege Liu Yanzong. But Shu Lie quickly turned around and detoured to the left flank of the Song army. That is, the right wing of the Jin army attacked the Song army that was attacking Liu Yanzong from the rear. It looked like it was trying to save Wan Yan Zongwang. The soldiers and horses on the left wing of the Song army were quickly attracted by Shu Lie. In this way, Wanyan Zongwang really got the opportunity to break out from the right wing, where the Song army was relatively weak.
After half a day of hard fighting, Li Dingbian and Wu Lin arrived one after another. Liu Yanzong, Shu Liesu and other generals died in battle one after another.
Wu Jie picked out the fake Wanyan Zongwang with one shot. Li Ding came over to take a look and shouted that he had been fooled.
Wu Jie was so angry that he even threw his horse whip on the ground, md. I worked so hard to get here, give me a fake one, I won¡¯t wait for such a deceitful person.
The army continued to pursue. In particular, Xixia veteran Li Dingbian led his party troops to the front. They wanted to see the person alive or the body dead, so they must capture Wanyan Zongwang.
Liu Yanzong, Shu Liesu and other generals risked their lives to help Wanyan Zongwang break out. Wanyan Zongwang ran all the way, but there were still soldiers chasing after him. Suddenly, soldiers and horses came out from the east and blocked the Song army's pursuit. The troops were repelled. This troop was the remnants of Wanyan Zongqian's troops. Wanyan Zonghan died in the battle, but he who was covering it escaped. However, most of his 30,000 elite troops died last night, leaving only There are less than 10,000 people left.
It was really a coincidence that he could escape, because the Song Army knew the battle situation in Xixia, so Zongze and the others did not think that the Jin Army would break out to the west, because if you break out to the west and go to the Hetao area, you are not jumping into a fire pit. Another fire pit, the Hetao area is full of Song and Xia coalition forces, plus the news of the two surrendered troops, so the west is not the focus of the Song Army's defense, but the Jin Army does not know, they are still thinking of responding to Wanyan Zongwang.
This mistake caused Wanyan Zonghan to die in battle, Wanyan Zongqian escaped, and happened to meet Wanyan Zongwang here who was running for his life. When the two buddies met each other and saw each other's embarrassed look, they almost cried in each other's arms. I dare to believe the facts in front of me, but this is not the time to cry bitterly. Even if they join forces, the few men and horses are not enough. The two men led the troops and ran north quickly, arriving at the south bank of the Yellow River, which is the Hohhot area in later generations. It¡¯s inside, because the reason why the Hetao area is called the Hetao is because it is surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides. It¡¯s a few words. Unless you go south, you have to cross the river.
Wanyan Zongwang was riding on his war horse, looking at the surging river, his face turned ashen, theyThere was a boat to cross the river, but in the end, they still couldn't escape. This river loop is now like an insurmountable prison for them.
There is a surging river in front of you, and there are chasing troops behind you.
Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but turn around and looked at the two thousand soldiers around him. He felt very uncomfortable. Sixty thousand elites had arrived here, and only two thousand were left. This battle was even more painful and disastrous than the loss in the Yellow River War.
Wanyan Zongqian said angrily: "Zong Wang, since there is no way forward, let's just fight to the death with the enemy."
At this moment, a man suddenly pointed to the other side of the Yellow River and said, "Du Tong, look quickly."
Wanyan Zongwang turned around and saw a fleet approaching. He didn't know whether the people coming were enemies or friends, but as long as they were not friends, he would be dead regardless of whether they were enemies or not.
In the blink of an eye, the fleet was halfway through, when someone shouted in Jurchen language: "The second prince is in front of us."
Before Wanyan Zongwang could open his mouth, the more than 10,000 elite soldiers behind him jumped up and shouted loudly. This was their chance to retreat.
When the people on the boat heard the shouts from the other side, they knew it was them and immediately accelerated their speed.
Like last time, Wanyan Yinshuke, the general of the Jin Kingdom, came at the right time, and it was Wanyan Yinshuke who saved his life at the critical moment last time.
This made Wanyan Zongwang feel very frustrated, as if he had experienced a repeated defeat.
It turned out that Wanyan Yinshu was originally here to rescue Wanyan Zonghan, but when he arrived at Yehuling, Wanyan Zonghan had already died in the battle. In grief, he thought of Wanyan Zongwang, so he ordered some troops to reinforce Yehuling and blocked the way. In a fierce attack by Zhongshi, he also knew that Yunzhou would be difficult to defend without Yehuling, but if Wanyan Zongwang was still in the Hetao area, Yehuling could prevent the Song army from leaving the border to outflank Wanyan Zongwang and control the Yellow River, so Yin After Shu Ke stabilized the situation in Yehuling, he immediately brought five thousand elite soldiers here to inquire about Wanyan Zongwang. As a result, he bumped into Wanyan Zongwang as soon as he arrived.
Because the Yellow River Basin here is still under the control of the Jin Army, it is fortunate that when Wanyan Zonghan entered the Hetao, he accumulated a lot of ships here. Otherwise, even if Yin Shu might be able to cross the river, he would not be able to move these ten thousand ships. The soldiers were transported back. It was really God's will and Wanyan Zong's fate.
Wanyan Zongwang once again escaped death and crossed the Yellow River.
Less than half a day after he crossed the Yellow River, Li Dingbian, Wu Jie and others arrived. Knowing that Wanyan Zongwang had crossed the river, they were all very upset that they could not catch Wanyan Zongwang.
Although this is a pity, Wanyan Zongwang's army was almost completely wiped out, and the results were still very impressive.
At this time, Li Qianshun's imperial edict also arrived, ordering Li Dingbian to immediately lead his troops across the river to regain the land previously occupied by the Jin Kingdom to the north of Yinshan Mountain, regardless of whether he captured Wanyan Zongwang. It turned out that Li Qianshun learned that the Song Dynasty had won a great victory and killed Wanyan Zonghan. He knew that the Jin Kingdom had been severely damaged. This was an excellent opportunity, so he wanted to take the opportunity to regain the land of Hohhot.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Kai also sent someone to deliver an imperial edict, but the content was completely opposite to Li Qianshun's. He ordered Wu Jie and Wu Lin to only pursue them as far as the Yellow River, not to go north again, and to stay where they were.
Li Dingbian actually didn't want the Song Army to continue their pursuit, otherwise who would own the captured land, because the boundary further north was the junction of Yunzhou and Hetao areas, and the Song Army could actually occupy this place and merge it into Yunzhou. Prefecture, so after learning that Wu Jie would no longer pursue, he was still very happy and led his army across the Yellow River to continue the pursuit.
