Two days later, Murong Chengze returned to Xizhou.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. After the happy event for Zhu and Chen in the court, the two returned to Xizhou, and Yu Qing's atmosphere gradually faded away.
Murong Fu took this opportunity to join forces with the prime minister and various ministers to start adjusting some positions of ministers in the court. The involvement was very wide, and the officials involved accounted for 60 to 70% of the people in the court. Some were promoted to other positions for unknown reasons. Some were demoted due to various reasons. Fortunately, this change did not involve any murders.
But for a time, it also made all officials feel confused and self-conscious, and they did not dare to collude with officials who had close personal relationships.
After all, anyone who can sit in this position is not stupid. He understands that this is a warning from the emperor to scare all officials. Otherwise, it will not be a transfer or promotion, but someone will be directly arrested and imprisoned.
This time, Murong Fu's drastic measures to rectify the situation in the court were surprisingly effective. Many officials who had been slacking off in their work also became diligent, and memorials were reported almost every day. The prosperity at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China was once again restored.
After a busy day, Murong Fu received a military intelligence report on the northern war situation. Judging from the situation of the Battle of Liao and Jin, Daliao would not be able to hold on for another two years at most before Dajin would break through the city gates of Shangjing.
For this reason, he has received many surrender letters privately sent from Liao officials. It seems that he has given up on Liao and plans to join Dayan after Jin destroys Liao.
Murong Fu did not turn a blind eye to these surrender letters. Instead, he sent people to respond to them one by one. However, the content of the replies was ambiguous. He neither turned them away nor agreed to their request for surrender. ?.?????.???
Those Liao officials were caught in the middle, colluding with each other, and all of them were human beings. They guessed that Murong Fu's move was to get them to submit their names, so they took advantage of the fact that the Liao Empire building was about to fall, and relied on their positions to Therefore, he crazily amassed money and plundered the people's fat and oil, just to have a way out when disaster strikes in the future.
It was precisely because of the insatiable greed of these Daliao officials that they directly aggravated the collapse of Daliao.
Murong Fu wanted this effect. Two years was still too long for him. I believe that after this battle, Daliao could only hold on for another year at most.
On this day, Murong Fu, who had been busy until night, came to Wang Yuyan's palace.
Wang Yuyan saw that Murong Fu looked a little tired, so she ordered the palace maid to prepare hot water in the bath and burn some soothing incense to relieve his fatigue.
Murong Fu slowly leaned on Wang Yuyan, and Wang Yuyan lovingly massaged the acupuncture points on his head, with a touch of happiness on her face.
Although she felt very sorry for her cousin, she knew that this was something a king must do personally. The country's larger affairs and decisions all needed to be approved one by one by him before they could be passed. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. .
Before long, the palace maids had everything ready.
Wang Yuyan originally wanted her cousin to have a good night's rest, but Murong Fu turned away the palace maid and eunuch. Under her blushing eyes, he slowly took off his large dragon robe, and a hot man's breath hit his face. The half-open collar Showing that solid chest.
Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes were slightly dazzled, and her face was filled with peach blossoms. Under her cousin's hot eyes, she also slowly took off her palace dress. Under the snow-white lining was a pair of plump women, with a slender waist and a slender willow outline. A perfect arc, a pair of slender legs made of white jade, like a strange thing created by heaven and earth, round and smooth, white and flawless.
Feeling her cousin's heavy breath, Wang Yuyan was so embarrassed that her delicate body became limp and it was difficult to stand up. Her white and greasy skin was quickly stained with a flush of red, as if covered with a layer of rosy clothes, adding a bit of beauty and beauty.
Murong Fu stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms. The warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms was better than countless others in the world.
Wang Yuyan pressed her cheek tightly against his hot chest, feeling the breath on his body, and felt that her whole body was soft and numb, and she couldn't produce any strength.
As a warm touch came from her lips, Wang Yuyan first closed her eyes to comply, and then slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were full of water, with a hint of charm, and she met his eyes passionately and hotly.
Murong Fu hugged Wang Yuyan into his arms and slowly walked into the pool. The petals floating on the water surface swayed slightly, hiding their shy bodies under the water. Steaming steam continued to rise from the surface of the pool, and the water was misty. .
Wang Yuyan's peach-like and charming face showed a touch of desire and expectation. She hugged her cousin's jade arms and tightened slightly, pressing herself tightly against him.
The spring pool is slightly warmer and the love is fragrant.
As two hours passed, the two of them hugged each other on the bed tiredly.
Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes were full of spring water, and she lay in Murong Fu's arms with a face full of happiness and satisfaction. The lingering dizziness on her skin was as beautiful as the morning glow.
"Cousin, what big things happened recently?"
Wang Yuyan stared at him affectionately and asked softly.
"how do you know?"
After Murong Fu had a heart-warming conversation with his beloved, his sleepiness was gone and his mood became clear.
Wang Yuyan's pretty face flushed, and she said shyly, "You were so happy just now. It's obviously due to depression in your heart recently. I can tell at a glance."
Murong Fu leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and said with some embarrassment, "In recent days, Dajin has won successive battles, but Daliao can only retreat to the last line of defense in Beijing. Emperor Tianzuo has been sending people to ask me to send troops to help. , I would like to carve up half of the territory of the Liao Kingdom for me. It is difficult to discuss this matter with the ministers of the DPRK and China, which is really annoying."
Wang Yuyan said, "So that's it. Most of the territory of Daliao is now occupied by the Jurchens. Instead of defending the imperial city and fighting a desperate battle, why not retreat to the northern grasslands and preserve the current strength to plan a counterattack in the future?"
Murong Fu caressed her beautiful face and said with great appreciation, "Although I didn't mean to do any harm, you, a female prostitute, can have the foresight of this city. But look at Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty, he is really stupid and incompetent. Die!"
Wang Yuyan pursed her red lips slightly, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "So what about women, they are not necessarily weaker than you men!"
Murong Fu secretly thought that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly embraced the beautiful woman in his arms. After some intimacy, he avoided the topic from being extended any further and causing the family throne to be in doubt.
Wang Yuyan is now a mature woman. She was not able to be flirted with by her cousin, but she soon became emotional again, and it was not limited to these scenes.
Murong Fu was naturally not to be outdone. As soon as the Sunflower Book was activated, he made his cousin docile, moaning and begging for mercy.
…
Just when the battle of Liao and Jin was about to decide the winner, although there was no Mingjiao in the Song Dynasty to instigate the uprising of the gentry behind the scenes, under the suppression of the corruption of the court and the oppression of the people by corrupt officials, the uprisings in various places not only showed no signs of redress, but became even more serious. Frequent and rampant.
For this reason, the Song Dynasty court also had to send troops to suppress the uprising armies in various places. Both its attitude and intensity were very tough and decisive.
As everyone knows, the people's uprising is like a heavy rain and flood. The imperial court's coercive measures not only did not scare the rebels, but also caused many rebels in Jiangnan to join forces to resist the imperial army. The state and army competed.
Now the leader of the rebel army is named Song Jiang. He is the leader elected by the leaders of the rebel army. The rebel army occupies 52 counties in six states in the south of the Yangtze River and is huge.
Song Jiang was originally from Shandong, and innocent people in the north were oppressed by the imperial court and intended to revolt against the imperial court, so they elected him as the leader of the rebel army.
But he didn't agree, but traveled thousands of miles to the south to form a rebel army.
The war continued in the north, and the people were displaced. Some homeless and helpless people fled to Dayan to seek refuge.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dayan has generously taken in people fleeing from all sides and provided them with fertile land to live in peace. The name of benevolence and righteousness has spread throughout the world.
This is why Song Jiang is unwilling to form a rebel army in the north.
I would like to ask, under the premise that there are officers and soldiers in front and a way of retreat behind, how can the people who are oppressed by the officers and soldiers be willing to rebel with their heads raised?
Even if some bloody men are willing to revolt against the imperial court, how long can this bloody spirit last?
What should you do when you see the officials and civilians rushing to kill them, their arms and legs flying in the sky, and their heads rolling on the ground? I'm afraid some timid people will be scared to death.
Even if you can barely pull together a team of rebels, I'm afraid it won't last long. After all, people can only burst out their infinite potential when they are desperate. If there is room for it, and if we can't burn the boat and unite people's hearts, then eventually we will be able to unite people. It's a pile of loose sand.
Furthermore, the land in the north of the Song Dynasty was limited, so they could only continue to occupy states, cities, and counties in the south. They did not dare to invade the northern border at all. If they attracted the attention of the Yan army, they could rely on the teams formed by farmers like them. , how can we compete with the brave Emperor Yan's army?
But if they cannot take care of both the north and the south, the rebels will not only have to deal with the imperial troops in the south, but also have to guard against the troops stationed on the northern border.
If the imperial court attacks from the north and the south, they will be attacked from both sides and have no way out.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Song Jiang resolutely took thirty-six sworn brothers south to form a rebel army. Relying on his power and courage, he took the position of leader of the rebel army.
It is worth mentioning that Song Jiang intended to follow the example of Murong Fu back then, leading the rebel army to attack the city and seize territory, conquer all the enemies, and lay down an eternal inheritance of his own.
It's just that compared to when Murong Fu personally led his troops to kill the Liao army in Liao territory, Song Jiang and others only pointed the finger at the compatriots.
Although the scale of the rebel army is large, it is after all just a gathering of a group of three religions and nine streams. There is no strict military regulation system, and there is no one to restrain the subordinates. Wherever they go, even if there is no burning, killing, looting, but for those innocent people, , is it not a disaster?
The larger the scale of the rebel army, the greater the cost of food and clothing. Since Huizong implemented his harsh rule, all the proceeds collected from the people have been paid to the national treasury by officials from all over the country. The rebels who could not plunder enough food from the gentry and rich people could only use various excuses to plunder the surplus food from the people's homes.
This kind of unkind behavior is worse than the imperial court collecting food according to taxes. Even if the life is a little harder, at least you can still survive. It is far less than the rebel army who commits banditry in the name of doing justice for heaven.
Regarding the southern rebels, the imperial court continued to send troops to exterminate them, but there was never a permanent solution. The repeated attacks were just a waste of troops and food. The little national strength that was finally restored over the years was lost in the blink of an eye. .
Moreover, the rebel army's occupation of the Liangtian land in the south of the Yangtze River not only greatly consumed the national power of the Song Dynasty, but also affected the next year's autumn harvest and taxes. If such delay continued, it would undoubtedly consume the country's capital internally.
Murong Fu also heard a little bit about the Song uprising army, but unlike the Ming sect who was rising behind the scenes, he didn't take it seriously at all because it was just an uprising initiated by Song Jiang and others.
For such an organizational structure with complex components and simple structure, internal corruption and degradation are inevitable. Although Song Jiang is the co-recommended leader, it is just forced by the situation.
There are many rebel leaders, large and small, in the rebel army. Each of them has ulterior motives and favors nepotism. The seemingly united rebel army has actually been divided into many factions internally.
Judging from the information investigated by the Shadow House in Jiangnan, although the leader of the rebel army is still Song Jiang, the leaders who occupied the other five states have begun to obey his orders and are no longer subject to his orders. This has resulted in the rebel army having no territory for several months. Then expand to one state and one county.
The euphemistic name is to recruit troops, collect food, and recuperate, but in fact, the leaders, after their status changed from farmers to powerful men, could not resist the temptation of power, and led their men to plunder wealth with revenge and began to settle down. For pleasure.
How could they, who have become accustomed to occupying land as kings and living a luxurious and decadent life, still be willing to lick blood on the tip of a knife?
Some people even have big dreams in the Spring and Autumn Period, thinking that one day the imperial court will come to recruit them, just like the original King Yan, and also give them a vassal king. From then on, they will live a happy life, why bother to use swords and guns again? ?
After learning about the current situation of the rebel army, Murong Fu knew that this rebel army was destined to be destroyed.
If he were Huizong of the Song Dynasty, there would be no need to send troops to kill him at all. He would only need to station troops and horses at various passes in the six states south of the Yangtze River to strictly guard him. After a long time, this decadent temporary regime would collapse on its own and be destroyed.
There is no need to send troops and horses to encircle and suppress him several times like Calabash Baby to save grandpa.
The facts did not go beyond Murong Fu's expectations. In less than half a year, Song Jiang, who felt that he had lost the support of the people and had no hope of fighting against the imperial court, led his 8,000 men to surrender to the imperial court and actively accepted the recruitment.
After being recruited by the imperial court, Song Jiang's first thing was to turn his guns and attack the remaining leaders of the Five Route Rebels.
Regarding the uprising army that was about to collapse, Murong Fu no longer paid attention to this outcome because of the final battle of Liao and Jin.
After all, to him, the so-called Jiangnan Uprising was just an episode with loud thunder and small raindrops.
In the fifth year of Fengtian, Ji Chun.
Dajin once again launched a fierce attack on Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Aguda led a hundred thousand elite soldiers to break through the incomplete city gate with overwhelming force.
The Liao army was defeated, and the remnants of the old troops fled north with Emperor Tianzuo. Wanyan Aguda personally led the troops from Shangjing to pursue him. After a month, he killed Emperor Tianzuo before he entered the continuous mountains.
At this point, the Liao Kingdom was completely destroyed.
After Wanyan Aguda returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to send envoys to negotiate with Murong Fu about ceding land and fulfill the agreement made back then.
When Murong Fu saw that Da Jin had just arrived as an envoy with a slightly higher official position, he immediately did not bother to meet him in person. He just asked Gou Du to lead people to contact him. In just three days, everything was finalized.
Da Jin ceded all Liaodong and other places to Dayan, and Dayan only needed to return half of Xizhou to them to complete the deal.
All the Jurchen tribes living in Changbai Mountain will also withdraw from the mountains, and Wanyan Aguda will take everyone to move to Xijing as their capital.
Obviously, although the current military strength of Da Jin is strong, it does not dare to compete with the army of Da Yan. It only hopes to use the cession of land as an excuse to open the Nantong land from the north to the Song Dynasty. As long as Murong Fu returns half of Xizhou, Then they can border the territory of the Song Dynasty. After recuperating and restoring their military strength, they can go south to attack the Song Dynasty and display their grand ambitions.
