After the Jin soldiers invaded, they marched all the way to Tokyo.
Zhang Shuye led his troops to Tokyo for rescue. They fought bloody battles all the way into Tokyo and took over the defense of Tokyo. However, all other troops and horses were defeated by the Jin soldiers in the field. Even the veteran Zong Ze was unable to break through the Jin soldiers' blockade and rush to rescue. Tokyo, eventually Zhang Shuye was outnumbered, defeated and captured, Tokyo was also captured, and almost all the Zhao and Song royal families were kidnapped.
After the Jin soldiers broke through Tokyo, they also knew that there were many anti-Jin forces in various parts of the Central Plains and did not dare to stay for a long time, so they supported Zhang Bangchang, an important official of the Song Dynasty, to be the puppet emperor in order to disrupt the influence of the Zhao and Song royal families in the Central Plains. At the same time, they forced Zhang Bangchang, the civil and military assistant of the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Shuye, who had high prestige, was naturally the target of their threats and inducements. However, Zhang Shuye was not afraid of life and death and sternly rejected the threats of the Jin people.
Seeing that Uncle Zhang would not surrender at night, the Jin people included him in the team going north.
After Zhang Shuye crossed the boundary river, he knew that he would never be able to return to his homeland, so he immediately went on a hunger strike and died. His sons Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong also committed suicide.
When later generations of Chao Yong saw the disgrace of Jingkang, they also searched hard for information. In addition to hating the cruelty of the Jin people, they also hated the loss of blood of the Han people. Thousands of Zhao and Song royal families and ministers were captured in the disgrace of Jingkang. , but there were very few suicides. Chao Yong checked a lot of information, but only found out that Zhang Shuye and his second son committed suicide. The remaining one was the Queen of Song Qinzong, Zhu Shi, who committed suicide unwilling to be humiliated, but the rest were lingering and suffered all kinds of things. **.
The Zhao and Song Dynasty can be said to be the dynasty that treated the literati most favorably and suppressed the military men. However, in the end, there were almost no literati who were willing to accompany the Zhao Song Dynasty to death, while many military men died in battle. This was also true for the Zhao Song Dynasty. What a huge irony.
Chao Yong personally untied Zhang Shuye's rope, shook his head and sighed: "Master Zhang is both civil and military, and has the talent to govern the world. It's a pity that Zhao Ji is mediocre and favors treacherous ministers, so Master Zhang can only live in a low position."
Although Zhang Shuye was a little unhappy, he did not want to be provoked by Chao Yong, and said with a righteous face: "I can benefit the people in the local area, and I have no regrets."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Master Zhang's talent should have benefited more people, but he is relegated to a local place. Isn't it overkill and underutilized?"
Although Zhang Shuye felt that what Chao Yong said was right, he did not want to talk to Chao Yong any more and said: "You say so much just because you want me to betray the imperial court like Zhao Mingcheng. I only have one sentence. , only death."
Chao Yong is not worried. If Zhang Shuye surrenders easily, he will no longer be Zhang Shuye. He would not have invited Zhao Mingcheng back then, but would have invited Zhang Shuye. Although Zhang Shuye was not as good as Zhao Tingzhi in rank, he was upright by nature and had always had prestige among Qingliu.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I know Master Zhang is not afraid of death, and even Master Zhang's two young masters are not afraid of death."
When Zhang Shuye heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "My Zhang family has always been loyal and filial to the family. I believe they will regard death as home. Don't even think about using them to threaten me."
Chao Yong heard this and said hurriedly: "Master Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. I have always admired you and your son. How could I use my family to threaten you?"
When Zhang Shuye heard about his family, his expression changed. When the three of them, father and son, went into battle, they were prepared to die. However, thinking that the old, weak, women and children in the family might also have their heads dislocated, he couldn't help but look angry and glared at Chao Yong. : "I heard that you Liangshan heroes were doing justice for heaven, and I thought you were different from ordinary grass bandits, but I didn't expect that you were just as despicable and dirty as usual."
Chao Yong didn¡¯t react for a moment and asked curiously: ¡°What do you mean by Master Zhang¡¯s words?¡±
Zhang Shuye sneered and said, "Don't say you'll kill my whole family. Even if you dig up my ancestral graves, you won't want me to betray the imperial court."
Ancestral graves were the most valued by the ancients, especially wealthy families who paid great attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. Only refugees would bury them casually in ancestral graves. What Zhang Shuye said was serious.
Only then did Chao Yong react and hurriedly said: "Master Zhang has misunderstood. Maybe I will threaten others, but I will never threaten you. I also want to ask Master Zhang to work for the benefit of the people of Liang, but I will never use force. I will send someone to take you to Qingzhou. Mr. Zhang will see how I, Daliang, treat the people. If you are not willing to be an official by then, I will not make it difficult. However, in order to prevent Mr. Zhang from opposing me, Daliang, I will ask Mr. Zhang to stay in Qingzhou. Stay here for a while, and when I, Daliang, unify the country, I will never make it difficult for Mr. Zhang to go wherever he wants. "
Zhang Shuye didn't expect Chao Yong to treat him so favorably, and couldn't help but wonder: "I don't have any extraordinary political achievements, I just want to be an upright official. I just made some meritorious deeds in the northwest battlefield before, but tonight's battle , I was also defeated and captured. I¡¯m really curious about what you value about me.¡±
Chao Yong naturally couldn't say that he just admired his integrity, and said with a smile: "First, the world is turbid now, and the world is full of corrupt officials. It is still difficult to find an upright official like Mr. Zhang. Second, Mr. Zhang In terms of military affairs, he is still very foreseeable, but it is a pity that he cannot hide the troubles in Jeju.Cross my beam, otherwise the success or failure of this night attack is unknown. "
After Zhang Shuye took office, he also carefully investigated the details of Liangshan. After learning that Chao Gai was a local hero, he expelled all the ruffians in the city and arrested some spies. He also knew that there must be Liangshan in Jeju City. The thieves, after deciding on the plan, immediately had people close the city gates and prohibit entry and exit, but they did not expect that the news would still spread.
Once the strategy is revealed, it will become a head-on confrontation. It is not surprising that the Imperial Army, which has just returned from a major defeat, will be beaten to a pulp by the Liang army again.
When Zhang Shuye heard what Chao Yong said, his frustration was reduced a lot. He shook his head and said: "I also heard about some of your actions in Qingzhou. You are indeed heroes who uphold justice for heaven. But now our Central Plains is in the midst of internal and external troubles. At this time, if there is chaos in the Central Plains, we will only be invaded by the foreign tribes from the north, and the lives of all people will be destroyed. I believe that the virtuous father and son are also people who understand the righteousness. I can ask for an imperial edict on your behalf, and all the heroes will serve the court together, and we can also put an end to the invasion of the foreign tribes. idea."
Li Kui was glared at by Chao Yong just now and did not dare to speak. When he heard that Zhang Shuye actually asked them to surrender, he couldn't help but jumped out again and said: "We can become the emperor ourselves when we fight to Tokyo, so why bother to go to the emperor?" I¡¯m so angry.¡±
Chao Yong did not ask Li Kui to step down this time. Instead, he echoed: "A fatuous emperor like Zhao Ji favors treacherous ministers. If we enter the court, we will be tricked by them sooner or later."
Zhang Shuye shook his head and said: "The emperor of the current dynasty was originally a sage and wise king, but he was deceived by treacherous ministers for a while. In the long run, he will definitely bring order to the chaos, and we will be able to reuse him at that time."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Zhao Ji is indeed talented in calligraphy and painting, but he can't become a good emperor. A traitor like Cai Jing can serve as prime minister several times. If Zhao Ji changes the chaos, the world will be dead. Mr. Zhang is also opposed to the alliance. The man who destroyed the Liao Dynasty?"
Zhang Shuye nodded and said: "Although I have never seen the Jin people, I have fought with the Qiang people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people. These tribes grew up in poor places and are indeed braver than me Han people. This Jin people can Defeating the Liao people would probably make them even more powerful, and forming an alliance with them would undoubtedly mean seeking the skin of a tiger. The generals of the Western Army who have been fighting against the Fan tribe for many years are opposed to joining forces with the Jin to destroy the Liao. General Zhong Shidao has written many times to object to this matter. The court was full of ingratiators such as Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Cai You, etc. Cai Jing had previously opposed the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. After he was forced to take office, the situation in the court became one-sided, and finally an alliance was reached with the Jin Kingdom. "
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Although Tong Guan and others are treacherous officials who wield power, it would be unfair to them to put all the responsibility on them."
Zhang Shuye said in confusion: "They are the ones taking the lead in the battle, so what's the injustice?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I'm afraid the biggest fighter is Zhao Ji? If he hadn't wanted to take back the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, how could the main militant faction in the DPRK have the upper hand?"
Zhang Shuye could not deny that Zhao Ji was the main battler, but as a minister of the Song Dynasty, he could only say: "The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was originally the land of our Han people, but it was stolen by the Liao Dynasty. In addition, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was stolen by the Liao Dynasty. The strategic location is important. If we can take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, we, the Han people, can defend it. It will not be that easy for the foreign tribes from the north to invade our Central Plains again, so the emperor wants to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."
Chao Yong couldn¡¯t help laughing when he heard what Zhang Shuye said.
Zhang Shuye couldn't help but look sad when he saw Chao Yong laughing like this.
Chao Yong saw Zhang Shuye's face sinking and then said: "It's really ridiculous. In your opinion, whatever Zhao Ji did is forgivable. All the evil things in the world are done by Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers. But this prince thinks otherwise. , if Zhao Ji is not a greedy man for pleasure, how can Cai Jing's prosperous Yuda have a market? Even if the world is really rich, can Zhao Ji build gardens on a large scale? If Zhao Ji really has the ambition to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun? , why didn't he use all that money to expand the army and prepare for war, but to use it for enjoyment? Zhao Ji just saw the decline of the Liao Kingdom in the past two years, and then he came up with the idea of ????taking advantage of the situation. How could he be a real hero who was determined to regain the Han Dynasty? . The saddest thing is that Zhao Ji has no self-awareness, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have no fighting spirit, but they still want to drive away wolves and devour tigers. In the end, Zhao Ji is the root of the chaos in the world, and Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others are all killed. Kill him. As long as the emperor is still Zhao Ji, he will promote new Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Only by removing Zhao Ji can we restore peace to the world and protect our country. "
Zhang Shuye blushed at what Chao Yong said. He couldn't refute it, but he couldn't agree with Chao Yong either. He could only say: "The Song Dynasty has been in existence for more than a hundred years. How can it be destroyed so easily? What if the Jin people were destroyed? After arriving in the Liao Kingdom, seeing the chaos in our Central Plains, we will definitely take advantage of it, and it will still be our Central Plains people who will suffer."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "We have strong soldiers and horses. To wipe out the Song Dynasty will definitely be devastating. We will definitely be able to dominate the world within three years."
While talking, look at Zhang ShuyeWith a look of disbelief, he smiled and said: "How about we make a bet. If I, Daliang, dominate the world within three years, you will assist me, Daliang. How about that?"
Zhang Shuye, however, disagreed and laughed and said: "If Daliang can really dominate the world in three years, then it is God's will. No matter what you order, I will do it." (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind. Astronomy, novels are better and updated faster!)
