    Chapter 303 The Destruction of the Kingdom of Jin 14 Although Han Zhongwei had already calculated that Wanyanxiang would be defeated, he did not expect that in just one night sneak attack, all Wanyanxiang's firearms would be destroyed, and the half-million-strong army would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.  Only 200,000 defeated soldiers were left.  He got the information two days earlier than Wanyan Jing. Just after Jamuka's army attacked the Jin army that night, at dawn and after the results of the battle were tallied, news from both land and sky channels came to Fengxiang Mansion.  Come.  However, Wanyan Jing of Zhongdu Prefecture only sent the message to Wanyan Xiang after he solved the problem of eating.  Unlike Han Zhongwei's surprise when he received the news, when Wanyanjing received the battle report, his vision went dark and he fainted to the ground without waking up.  Wanyan Jing's health had not been very good in the past few years. After being stimulated by the news of the Jin Army's defeat, she immediately fell ill.  Although there was never a shortage of imperial doctors in the palace, Wanyanxiang also woke up after being in a coma for three full days.  Although Wanyan Jing woke up this time, he could no longer get out of bed and could only live on. Even the daily memorials could no longer be reviewed. He could only give his favorite concubine Li Shi and the eunuch Li Xinxi to help him.  Take care of.  They read the memorial to Wanyan Jing, and then Wanyan Jing dictated it and they reviewed it.  The news that Wanyan Jing was seriously ill also made the Jin court worried. They mobilized all the troops in the country to attack Jamuka. As a result, only 200,000 of the 500,000-strong army were left.  Whether these 200,000 troops can come back safely is still unclear.  I heard that Wanyanxiang¡¯s army now has trouble even eating and drinking. Fortunately, they are now hiding deep in the grassland, but that is Jamuhe¡¯s territory after all. If Jamuhe¡¯s army discovers it, these two hundred thousand people will lose their money.  Can Jin Jun come back alive?  No one has confidence.  Most of the memorials received by Wanyan Jing during this period were to impeach Wanyan Xiang, saying that he was incompetent and weak in commanding the troops. He had an army of 500,000 and went out with 100,000 landmines and 300,000 grenades.  Deal with Jamuka.  In the end, he was defeated by Jamuka.  You must know that only half of the price for these firearms has been paid so far. This is thanks to the eloquent words of Tian Fenggu, the Minister of Household Affairs, who persuaded Han Zhongwei to pay only half of the price first, and then pay the balance after Jamuka was defeated.  But now the hope of defeating Jamuka is close to zero, and the nearly 2 million yuan of money is simply not available in such a large amount at the moment.  This is still a small matter. If the treasury has no money, it can be offset by the trusteeship fees from Lintao, Fengxiang, Pingliang, Qingyang, Yan'an, Jingtao, and Hezhong Prefectures.  But if the 500,000-strong army is gone, I'm afraid there will be turmoil within the Jin Kingdom soon.  There have always been an endless stream of people in Dajin who are ready to take action. It turned out that there were hundreds of thousands of troops attacking, but no one dared to make any move.  But now there are only 200,000 left of the 500,000-strong army, not to mention how many of these 200,000 will eventually come back.  The news is only circulating in the imperial court now, but this matter will soon be known to the whole world. After all, paper cannot contain the fire.  The situation that the Jin Kingdom is about to face is very clear to even some petty officials, let alone the ministers in the DPRK.  The most worried person was Wanyan Kuang, the political minister of Pingzhang in Dajin at this time. He was originally Wanyan Jing's attendant.  Although he is a student, he is actually equivalent to a teacher. Both brothers, including Wanyan Xun, were once taught by him.  The two brothers Wanyan Jing and Wanyan Xun were both taught Sinology by him.  When Wanyan Jing became the emperor, his status also increased. It only took him two years to go from being the chief of staff to the director of the Imperial Hospital, and then to being a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.  In the seventh year of Mingchang, that is, three years ago, he was promoted to Pingzhang political affairs by Wanyan Jing and granted the title of Duke of the country.  This is a position that is lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people. It can be said that he and Wanyan Jing are both prosperous and disadvantaged.  Wanyan Kuang, who is in charge of Pingzhang, knows the current situation of the country. The treasury is almost starving to death, and all the troops and horses available in the country have been brought to Mongolia by Wan Yanxiang.  I originally thought that with an army of 500,000, and that it was commanded by Wan Yanxiang, a famous general, even if he couldn't defeat Jamuka, at least he would have no problem protecting himself, right?  But who would have thought, alas But now is not the time to regret, the emperor may step aside at any time, and his political affairs are about to come to an end. After all, the history of the emperor and his ministers has been proved by history.  What worries him the most is that Wanyan Jing has no offspring, not even any heirs. If Wanyan Jing suddenly ascends to heaven at this time, Dajin will be in chaos. Han Zhongwei, who is far away in Fengxiang Mansion, also got Wanyan Jing a few days later.  According to the news that Xiang was ill in bed, Ding Chuan had successfully hired a spy at Daikin's Imperial Hospital as early as the year before last, and he knew Wanyan Jing's condition in more detail than the average minister of Daikin.  Ding Chuan told Han Zhongwei with certainty that Wanyan Jing's life was at stake. If Wanyan Jing died, would Han Zhongwei be happy?  Of course he was happy, he was simply overjoyed. Originally, Han Zhongwei thought that he would have to prepare for at least ten years to deal with the Kingdom of Jin.  It was two years longer than the eight-year war of resistance, and he was also ready to fight a protracted war.  But I didn't expect that Wanyan Jing's body would actuallyHowever, he was so bad that he couldn't even get out of bed when he was hit by the news of Wan Yanxiang's defeat. Maybe this was God's will.  After confirming the news from Ding Chuan, Han Zhongwei did two things. The first was to ask Liu Qing to ask for debts from the Kingdom of Jin.  The money for the few hundred cars Tian Fenggu came to last time was only enough to buy 50,000 grenades and 100,000 hand grenades.  But at that time, the Kingdom of Jin meant that there must be at least 100,000 landmines, otherwise Wanyanxiang would have no confidence that he could defeat Jamuka.  And as long as Tian Fenggu can complete this task, his position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry will be considered to have passed the probation period.  Therefore, Han Zhongwei also agreed to sell 100,000 landmines and 300,000 grenades to the Jin Kingdom, because he knew that no matter how many trigger-type landmines there were, Wanyanxiang would not be able to win.  But now you can use these firearms to put Tian Fenggu in power, why not?  And it¡¯s not that the Kingdom of Jin won¡¯t pay, it¡¯s just that it won¡¯t pay for the time being.  Of course, Han Zhongwei couldn't let Jin Guo hold him back indefinitely. His nearly 2 million yuan of money was all interest-bearing.  Originally it was not the right time to ask for debt from the Jin State, but Han Zhongwei didn't care about it. Now Wanyanxiang was defeated and all his firearms were detonated. It can be said that the Jin State has used up all his firearms. Even if the Jin Dynasty  It is impossible to return the goods even if you want to.  But now that Lord Wan is critically ill, if he doesn't ask for money from the Kingdom of Jin at this time, when Wanyan Jing stretches out his legs, the Kingdom of Jin will definitely be in chaos. Who will he turn to then?  I'm afraid those involved, including Wan Yanxiang, will no longer be in their current positions.  If the new one takes over, when will he get his money back?  Therefore, it may seem inappropriate to collect debts from the Kingdom of Jin at this time, but it actually makes sense. Even the ministers of the Kingdom of Jin could not say a word.  Who caused Wanyanxiang to suffer such a huge defeat?  Who made the donor critically ill?  Who told you to owe me such a large amount of money?  The second thing is to write a letter to Jamukha and ask him to secretly send Wanyan Xun to Fengxiang Mansion.  In order to keep it secret, Han Zhongwei even specifically mentioned that Wan Yanxun must be changed into a different makeup and his identity must not be known.  Wanyan Xun is the eldest brother of Wanyan Jing. Now Wanyan Jing has no heirs. As Wanyan Xun, he is also qualified to be the benefactor.  Of course, he is still a prisoner of Jamuka, but as long as there is a powerful figure standing behind Wanyan Xun, he may not be able to enjoy the emperor.  Wanyan Kuang left the palace with a tired look on his face. Just now he went to see the emperor again. He could only use four words to describe the emperor's body. The oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry. Now every day, he feels the same to Wanyan Jing.  A miracle.  Wanyan Jing has always had great trust in him, and he himself knows that his time is short, and what he is most worried about now is the issue of his successor.  So far, Wanyan Jing has no heirs, but just yesterday, good news came from the harem. Two concubines actually had happy bloodlines at the same time, one was Concubine Jia and the other was Concubine Fan.  This made Wanyan Jing, who had lost all hope, feel like she was coming back to her senses. She even got out of bed and walked around for a while in the afternoon.  Although Wanyan Jing is happy in her heart, Wanyan Kuang has no reason to be happy. Otherwise, these two concubines have just found out that they have a happy pulse, and they still don¡¯t know whether they are male or female.  What's more, even if she is pregnant with a dragon, it will still take seven or eight months to give birth to a prince.  But can Wanyanjing still hold on for seven or eight months?  Obviously not. This is the reason for Wanyan Kuang's headache. A country cannot be without a king for a day. With Wanyan Jing's current situation, it is a miracle that he can last for a month.  It was obviously impossible for him to see the birth of his son.  Of course, Wanyan Jing most hopes that the throne will be inherited by his own descendants, but in the intervening period of more than half a year, who will bear this heavy burden?  Even if someone chooses, once you sit on the dragon throne, who will be willing to step down?  Unless he's a fool?  Wanyan Kuang suddenly thought of something, but at this time his sedan chair had already arrived in front of his house. When he was disturbed by the sedan bearer, his previous thoughts flew to the clouds again.  "Sir, Mr. Tian Fenggu, the Minister of Industry, wants to see him." "What is he doing here? Take him to the study." Wanyan Kuang frowned slightly. He couldn't figure out what Tian Fenggu would do if he came to see him at such a time.  Now Wan Yanxiang's army was defeated miserably, and the emperor was critically ill. Both of these matters had nothing to do with him, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.  "Meet Mr. Pingzhang Zhengshi." When Tian Fenggu saw Wanyan Kuang, he bowed respectfully and bowed his hands.  "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Tian, ??what do you want to see me for?" Wanyan Kuang had already changed into casual clothes at this time, but after the Pingzhang political affairs in recent years, he had a majestic look on his face.  "Today, the official received a letter from Han Zhongwei of Fengxiang Mansion. In the letter, he asked us to return the money we owe for the firearms within one month. The official did not dare to act on his own, so he came here to ask for advice." Tian Fenggu said.  "How can the treasury still have money to repay his debts now? Not to mention two million guan, even 200,000 guan can't be paid." Wanyan Kuang said angrily. He was wary of Han Zhongwei.  He was originally from the Song Dynasty, but he was able to call the wind and rain in Xixia.Up to now, the Emperor of Xixia, Li Zunxu, is just his puppet, and the firearms he invented may seem powerful, but they are also expensive. The number of firearms purchased by Daikin from him in the past few years alone is astronomical.  The most abominable thing is that Han Zhongwei couldn't help but pay gold, silver and copper coins, which almost emptied the foundation of the Jin Kingdom.  "That's what I replied to the other party, but Han Zhongwei's people said that the batch of firearms has been used up by Dai Jin's army, otherwise they only need to return half of the goods to him. And now that the emperor, they are also forced to have no choice."  "Shit, you have no choice but to tell Han Zhongwei how you negotiated with him at the beginning. Now we still follow the agreement at that time. Even if the two million yuan is lent to him by Dajin, he will still pay interest to him every year.  How can he push further?" Wanyan Kuang said angrily.  "Sir, this reply is definitely useless. Han Zhongwei's people have already settled in Xiaguan's house and said that they will not leave if they don't get the money. What should we do?" Tian Fenggu looked embarrassed.  "Presumptuous, Han Zhongwei is so presumptuous. Isn't this a rogue move? Humph" Wanyan Kuang was furious. Although Tian Fenggu was suddenly promoted to a third-rank official, he was also promoted to one of the six departments after all. Han Zhongwei's  They simply don¡¯t take Daikin seriously. ¡°They also said that if the officials don¡¯t give them the money, they will come to live with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and your home. They even threatened to live in the palace to collect debts from today. Then  " Tian Fenggu looked at Yan Kuang's livid face and did not dare to say any more.  "You are so unscrupulous. He is so unscrupulous that he even bullied your family. Why are you being polite to them? Why don't you just beat him out?" Wanyan Kuang was so angry that his beard trembled non-stop.  "Master, there is someone outside who claims to be a subordinate of Han Zhongwei in Fengxiang Mansion and wants to meet the master." Perhaps to verify Tian Fenggu's words, as soon as he finished speaking, Wanyan Kuang's servants came to report that Han Zhongwei's debt collectors had arrived at him  The house is here.  ¡°You¡¯re gone, blast me out,¡± Wanyan Kuang roared angrily.  "Yes." Those servants had never seen Wanyan Kuangfa so angry, and they were so frightened that they crawled away.  But not long after, the servant came in again with a sad face, and a five-fingerprint was clearly visible on his right cheek. It seemed that he did not kick the person out, but received a beating himself.  "Master, those people were too vicious. I just asked them to leave, but more than a hundred people came in with weapons in their hands. I didn't say anything right and was beaten by them, 5555555."  "It's really no king's law." Wanyan Kuang was furious. He was a political official in Pingzhang. One person under Da Jin was more than ten thousand people. He was said to be a seventh-rank official in the prime minister's disciples. Who wouldn't be polite to his servants when he saw them?  Now he is being beaten, this is really unreasonable. Wanyan Kuang ran to the main hall angrily. As expected, as the following person said, there were hundreds of people in the main hall, and the leader was sitting on a chair leisurely.  When Yan Kuang came, he just glanced sideways and continued drinking his tea without even getting up.  "Who are you? How dare you come to my house to cause trouble?" Wanyan Kuang scolded angrily.  "Are you Lord Wanyan Kuang Wanyan?" The leader is Liu Qing. He came to Zhongdu not to collect debts, so he decided to make this matter as big as possible. Although the Zhongdu Hotel has not yet been completed,  , but there were actually 500 guards there. When he came to Wanyan Kuang's house this time, he specially brought 100 guards with him. Without these 100 guards, he really wouldn't be able to meet Wanyan Kuang now.  "Who are you?" Wanyan Kuang slowly suppressed the anger in his heart when he saw Liu Qing who was unusually calm.  It is said that the prime minister's belly can hold a boat, but he is a Pingzhang political official who is one level higher than the prime minister, so he should not be underestimated.  "My name is Liu Qing. Mr. Tian should know him. This time the Jin army was defeated in the grassland. The 100,000 landmines and 300,000 grenades we sold to Daijin were also detonated. And now Mr. Wanyanxiang suddenly  There is no way to win, so my Mr. Han asked me to settle the balance to avoid long nights and endless dreams." Liu Qing sighed heavily on purpose.  "You" Daikin has always been the overlord of the world, how could he ever be bullied to such a start?  Wanyan Kuang was so angry that he could not speak.  "Furthermore, I heard that the current Emperor's dragon body is not in good condition, and your country's treasury is also empty, so my adults are particularly worried. This money has interest. If your country delays it for ten or eight years, it will not be cost-effective.  Liu Qing said slowly.  "The current emperor's dragon body is something you can discuss? Come here, take them all for me and send them to Zhongdu Mansion for custody." Wanyan Kuang saw Liu Qing becoming more and more explicit as he spoke, as if he had been stepped on.  The rabbit almost jumped up.  "Master Wanyan, you mean that Dajin is not going to repay my family's debt?" Liu Qing stood up coldly. He was originally aHe was a bandit, and his aura was now revealed, causing Wanyan Kuang to take three steps back.  "Youwhat are you going to do?" Wanyan Kuang stammered.  "I want money, and only money, otherwise we will have to live here. When we came here, my adults said, don't go back if you don't have money. Since I can't go back, I have to live with you.  "Liu Qing said with a smile.  "It's simply unreasonable." Wanyan Kuang has clearly seen the situation. His servants and servants are all under their custody. Even if he screams, no one will send Liu Qing to the prison in Zhongdu Mansion.  Although Liu Qing's people had the upper hand, he "abide by his duty" and found a dozen vacant houses in Wanyan Kuang's house for the guards to live in.  And he himself left the main hall in a "sensible" manner and found a small house to live in.  Regarding Liu Qing¡¯s actions, Wanyan Kuang couldn¡¯t laugh or cry. He said they were making trouble unreasonably, but the other party didn¡¯t make trouble at all, and it didn¡¯t seem to be unreasonable. They were here to collect debts, so it was just rude at best.  But even if it was rude, could he really send officers and soldiers to expel them as a dignified political official?  After thinking about it all night in bed, Wanyan Kuang finally did not make this decision. But early the next morning, Wanyan Kuang was still angry. Suddenly there were more than a hundred people in the house who wanted to eat and drink. The servant who was used to making a lot of breakfast just  After it was done, even Wanyan Kuang's portion wasn't served, as these people rushed him away and ate it all.  They are now a professional debt collection team. Of course, food and accommodation must be borne by the creditor.  Now that Liu Qing couldn't find Wanyanxiang, and couldn't really go to the palace to ask for money from Wanyanjing, she could only treat him as a creditor.     tidy( )
