Hundreds of years ago, the Jurchens emerged on the banks of the Huntong River and gradually formed tribal groups based on blood relationships. The initial and most core tribes included the Wanyan tribe, the Tudan tribe, the Heshilie tribe, the Wugulun tribe, and the Pu tribe. Sanbu, Puchabu and so on. Later, the Jurchens took over the domain and transformed it into the Great Jin Dynasty. However, it was always the descendants of these large tribes and nobles who were always entrenched at the top of the court, overlooking the hundreds of millions of people below.
The Pusan clan is one of the most powerful nobles, and Pusan Anzhen is the contemporary leader of the Pusan clan. Relying on the political potential that has lasted for hundreds of years, Pusan Anzhen stood firm in the political struggles of the two generations of courts. Later, he resisted the criticism of the court and did not hesitate to usurp the interests of many courtiers to rebuild Meng'an locally. To overcome the system.
In just one year, Pusan Anzhen basically restored stability in Hebei and organized a powerful army with the Jurchens as the core.
This kind of behavior once made Shuhu Gaoqi a little envious.
To this day, unless one is blind, anyone can see that the Great Jin Kingdom is suffering from a serious illness that is difficult to cure and is in urgent need of good doctors and medicines. But not everyone is qualified to be a good doctor, and not everyone is qualified to give bad medicine. Shuhu Gaoqi looked at the court and saw that the number of famous ministers and nobles with political potential had declined a lot in recent years. Among the people alive, Pusan Anzhen was probably the only one who had such ambition and courage, and also held some hope of turning the tide. impulse.
It's a pity that reality is too cold, and Pusan Anzhen's head is already here.
His efforts were ineffective and meaningless in the face of the overwhelming force of the Mongols.
His ambition and courage only cost him his life.
Sadly, Mongolia and Dajin have been fighting each other for decades. Among the famous ministers and generals in the inner circle of the Dajin court, no one had their head chopped off by the Mongols before. Pusan Anzhen was the first one.
The first one is Pusan Anzhen, who will be next?
Pusan Anzhen is already powerless, what can I, Shuhu Gaoqi, do?
Shuhu Gaoqi suddenly became angry and slapped the table gum hard. The exquisite decorations on the table fell with a crash, but the rough wooden box containing the head jumped twice and was still placed in front of Shuhu Gaoqi.
After the Zhongdu Incident the year before last, Shuhu Gaoqi returned to Zhongdu and was transferred from Jinshan Defense Envoy to Marshal Youdu Superintendent. After enduring the days when the emperor continued to promote military personnel and divide military power, he finally won the emperor's trust and gradually became the first person in the imperial court to hold military power.
But Daikin is no longer the Daijin it once was. No matter how much power Shuhu Gaoqi has in the center, he can't actually interfere at all beyond Zhongdu Road. He, the marshal of Pingzhang political affairs, is actually just the person in charge of the city defense of Zhongdu.
Not only did Shuhu Gaoqi's authority decline, but the emperor's authority also failed to interfere beyond Zhongdu Road.
After the emperor came to the throne, he initially tormented the court every day, thinking that his own methods were outstanding and a revival could be expected. However, in just six months, all the officials deserted. Before his death, Tu Shanyi set up a scheme to cause the emperor to fall out with Prince Sui and his son. That incident touched the emperor so much that he immediately figured it out, so the emperor now looks more and more like a clay sculpture enshrined on the throne.
In this way, Shuhu Gaoqi had a little more intention to accompany him. There were many things that the emperor had no choice about. The emperor was fooling around, but the final responsibility rested entirely on Shuhu Gaoqi's shoulders.
He felt more and more that many people were watching helplessly as he and the emperor were trapped in the precarious city of Zhongdu. They are forcing the emperor and the people in the city to use their swords!
And this knife is not only swinging at the ant people, but also getting closer and closer to the throat of Shuhu Gaoqi himself!
Are you really going to sit in Zhongdu City, waiting for this knife to swipe across your neck and turn my great head, Shu Hu Gao Qi, into a piece of shit like An Zhen?
Pusan Anzhen is dead, and the Tatar Khan is chasing Guo Ning. Once he withdrew his troops and returned, Zhongdu would have no external aid and could only defend the isolated city and withstand the Mongolian attacks until the city fell.
Shuhu Gaoqi is not optimistic about whether he can hold Zhongdu. Although he had no intention of doing anything in the past few days, he could vaguely feel that the undercurrent in the city was getting stronger day by day. Countless people have wavered, but they are suppressed by the army in the city, and no one can take action for a while.
But the main force of the Mongols will come at any time, and the army's suppression will not last long.
Since ancient times, no dynasty can continue to exist when the capital is besieged again and again; and the current Zhongdu is like a vessel that is torn apart at any time, barely maintaining its shape, and will fall apart as long as outsiders put a finger on it. Debris all over the floor.

Genghis Khan's power is more than just one finger?
Zhongdu will definitely not be able to hold it.
The Mongolian army is full of ferocious savages. They don't pay attention to any rules. Once the city is breached, the sky will fall apart. Zhongdu City will be as miserable as the many cities they swept south along the way the year before last. At that time, no matter what kind of noble person, there is no chance of luck!
Shuhu Gaoqi finally made up his mind.
He stood up suddenly and strode out.
The first person who entered the house was surrounded by his wives and concubines and several doting beauties. When several people saw him coming out, they all looked happy. A beautiful woman held up a cup and said cheerfully: "Master, you haven't eaten or drank all day. Please use some buttermilk!"
Shuhu Gaoqi passed between them without stopping, and opened several doors in succession, arriving at a secluded side hall.
There were two lamps and candles on the table in the side hall, and there were wine and vegetables. A Khitan man dressed as an official was holding a leg of lamb and tearing it into pieces. Seeing Shu Hu Gao Qi come in, he wiped his lips, smiled and stood up to greet him: "Marshal, have you figured it out?"
Shuhu Gaoqi glanced at him, feeling disgusted in his heart.
When the Mongols withdrew last year, they had already reached an agreement with the court. Genghis Khan also married Princess Qi, the daughter of Emperor Jingzong. However, less than half a year later, they fell out and came back again, with no good faith at all. And those who gained power in front of the Mongols were mostly Khitan dogs. Look at how active they look in serving the Mongols, and how proud they are in front of me!
Shuhu Gaoqi suppressed his displeasure, strode to the table, and picked up a wine cup.
"It seems that the marshal has indeed figured it out." When Shuhu Gaoqi held the wine cup in his hand, the Khitan people's expressions suddenly became much more respectful. He took out a brocade bag from his waist, opened it, took out a gold seal the size of a child's fist, and placed it on the table.
Seeing that Shuhu Gaoqi didn't come to see him, he took two steps forward and picked up the wine pot: "Then let me, Shi Moye, drink wine for His Highness King Yan of the Mongolian Kingdom."
Shuhu Gaoqi's mouth twitched twice, holding the wine glass, allowing Shi Mo to drink first. The clear wine poured into the cup and swirled, but he was not busy drinking.
After another long while, he sighed, raised his head, drank the wine in one gulp, and then threw the cup to pieces.
"follow me."
The two of them walked one behind the other, crossed two more doorways, and entered the main hall.
The lights outside the main hall were brightly lit, and soldiers were cruising outside; two rows of generals and commanders in the hall had been waiting for a long time, and suddenly stood up to greet them.
"It's noisy outside, what happened?" Shuhu Gaoqi asked in a deep voice.
"Two Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun suddenly led people to seize troops. They said they wanted to kill the thieves who wanted to surrender to Mongolia and defend the central capital."
"Did they say who the thief was?"
"That's not to say. However, there was a group of soldiers and horses heading straight to the Marshal's Mansion earlier, like wolves and tigers, but they retreated halfway... I think they were afraid of the Marshal's power and did not dare to offend."
"Perhaps these people have heard something? Feel like something is wrong? They are really smart."
Shuhu Gaoqi murmured a few words, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have something to announce."
Everyone asked: "What's going on? Please ask the marshal for instructions."
"I have surrendered to the Great Mongolian Kingdom and will take up the position of King Yan of the Great Mongolian Kingdom today. From now on, you will belong to thousands of households on the left and right wings of my King Yan. I also ask you to help me win the central capital and jointly gain wealth and wealth. !”
