Heavy snow is flying in the sky, and there is a heavy haze in the sky, which seems to overwhelm everything in the world. The cold wind kept blowing in through the cracks in the door and windows. The ministers in the hall were shivering and their feet were numb from the cold. Coupled with the imminent disaster of national subjugation, the coldness in their hearts was even worse.
On the throne, the words of Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Great Jin Dynasty were like thunder, shaking the hearts of the ministers and shocking everyone.
"I served as Doctor Jin Ziguanglu for ten years, as the crown prince for ten years, and as the emperor for ten years. I knew that I had no serious sins, so I had no regrets in my life. What I hated was that my ancestors had inherited the country for more than a hundred years, but I ended it. Like the debauched tyrants from ancient times, he is the master of the subjugation of his country. It’s just..."
Wanyan Shouxu looked furious and continued.
"There is just one thing that makes me worried. Since ancient times, there is no country that is immortal. The king of a subjugated country is often humiliated or imprisoned by the enemy country, or tied up and sacrificed as a prisoner, or kneels in the palace and is humiliated, or is closed in an empty room. This I can never bear this humiliation!"
Wanyan Shouxu's words made all the ministers such as Wanyan Huxiehu, Zhang Tiangang, Wanyan Chenglin and others stand with their heads bowed and their faces sad.
The humiliation suffered by the subjugated king is so cruel that it is unbearable.
When the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, it was so arrogant. The two emperors were given the gift of holding a goat, the queen and princess were turned into prostitutes, and the clan ministers were treated as slaves. Now that the Song army is approaching the city, it is such a shame and humiliation. One can imagine how the Song people will retaliate.
Even if Emperor Song promised to treat them well and have a feud for a hundred years, would they dare to believe it?
"Fellow nobles, tell me, can you endure the humiliation of the Song people?"
Wanyan Shouxu looked at the palace full of ministers with pained eyes.
"Your Majesty! I am willing to protect your Majesty and break out of the siege. I swear to fight the Song army to the end and refuse to surrender even if I die!"
Shangshu Youcheng Wanyan suddenly tilted his head and immediately walked out of his squad to ask for orders from the emperor.
"Your Majesty, we swear to live and die with Dajin. We will not live in this world and let the enemy humiliate us!"
The clan minister Wanyan Chenglin was also impassioned and walked out to say.
"I am willing to fight the Song army with all my strength and will never live in an ignoble way!"
"I am willing to live and die with the Kingdom of Jin!"
Privy Councilor Wanyan Zhonglou, Guards Commander Wanyan Jiangshan, etc. all left their posts one after another, and everyone was filled with grief and anger.
"Okay! Look at death as if you are going home. This is my man of the Jin Dynasty! I will not be like those weaklings like Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Song Qinzong Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty, living like a pig or a dog, without any shame!"
Wanyan Shouxu patted the table and felt a hint of pride in his heart. This kind of pride was felt when he first came to the throne, but it has not been seen for many years.
"Your Majesty, fight with Song Jun!"
"We will protect your majesty to the death!"
The generals in the palace were furious and started shouting.
The Lord humiliated his ministers and died, not to mention reaching the edge of the country's subjugation. The tragedy and passion in everyone's hearts were completely aroused.
"Okay! Listen to me, gentlemen."
After the excited generals calmed down, Wanyan Shouxu said:
"As witnesses, I will pass on the throne to Wanyan Chenglin of the clan today. May the Kingdom of Jin be prosperous and prosperous."
As soon as Wanyan Shouxu said these words, all the officials in the palace were shocked. Wanyan Chenglin was also frightened and quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I dare not obey your orders even to death! Please take back your orders!"
The Song army surrounded Caizhou like an iron barrel. At this time, the emperor is enthroning. I wonder what it means?
All the ministers were also surprised and looked at Wanyan Shouxu on the throne.
"Chenglin, I have no choice but to entrust the country and the country to you. I am fat and cannot ride my horse to go on an expedition. If the city falls, it will be difficult to break out. Considering that you have always been strong and have generals and strategies, if you are lucky enough to escape If you do, you can continue the reign of Zuo, which is my intention. For the sake of the Kingdom of Jin, don’t refuse!"
As Wanyan Shouxu spoke, tears filled his eyes unconsciously.
The national destiny of the Great Jin Kingdom is about to come to an abrupt end.
"His Majesty!"
Wanyan Chenglin knelt down with all the ministers, and many of them had tears streaming down their faces.
The Song army besieged the city like an iron barrel, and there were only three or four thousand Jin troops in the city. Wanyan Chenglin promised to succeed to the throne, and it was inevitable that he would die.
"Your Majesty, please come to Dabao. See Your Majesty!"
The eunuchs on the left and right came over and put the crown on Wanyan Chenglin. Wanyan Shouxu took off his dragon robe and put it on Wanyan Chenglin himself. He helped Wanyan Chenglin onto the throne with his own hands, then came down and saluted with the other ministers.
Wanyan Hu Xiehu had no choice but to step forward, take the Zen edict from the eunuch, and read it loudly.
After the edict was read, Wanyan Chenglin was enthroned as emperor by the edict, and all the officials below shouted long live together.
"Your Majesty, long live! Long live! Long live!"
"Everyone is safe!"
Wanyan Chenglin said with tears in his eyes, and the guards rushed in to report.
"Your Majesty, the Song Army used artillery to blast away the Nancheng and Xicheng, and has entered the city!"
All the ministers were shocked. Wanyan Chenglin wiped away his tears, stood up from the throne and walked down, shouting loudly:
"Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
He bowed respectfully to Wanyan Shouxu, who had sad eyes.
"Your Majesty, take care!"
"Your Majesty, take care!"
Wanyan Shouxu responded with a solemn salute, Wanyan Chenglin led the generals to leave, and Wanyan Shouxu returned to the apse.
To the west of Caizhou City, on the bank of Ru River, there was the Song Army's camp. Seeing a steady stream of Song troops advancing into Caizhou City, the Song Army's commander, Cao Youwen, thought for a moment and passed on the order.
"Xin Su led the artillery to occupy the city wall, Tian Yi led the firecrackers and went straight to the palace, Du Shu guarded the four gates, if all the ministries encounter the golden soldiers, don't survive!"
After enduring it for so long, if the emperor had not wanted to surrender, he would have led his troops to break the city.
"General Cao, please show me your noble hand!"
Wan Yanchun, who was beside him in despair, suddenly spoke up and begged Cao Youwen.
"Princess, our army has done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous. Please respect yourself and do not hinder military affairs!"
Cao Youwen was unmoved and said coldly.
This is a sworn hatred, and if you can't get down, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Why are you still standing there? Does it feel good in the ice and snow?"
Tian Yi shouted loudly, and the generals quickly accepted the order and left one after another.
"Zhao Hong, you are so cruel!"
Wan Yanchun was about to cry but had no tears and collapsed to the ground.
Cao Youwen glanced at her and sighed secretly.
The emperor is not here, just to let them go and do it. State affairs come first, and the emperor is indeed hard-hearted.
"Warriors, follow me to kill the enemy!"
On the street, Wanyan Chenglin brandished his sword and shouted angrily, taking the lead, followed by hundreds of pro-army soldiers, heading straight towards the surging Song army.
"Fire Gun Soldier!"
The general of the Song Army gave an order, and the Song Army fired guns and muskets. For a time, the long street was filled with smoke, and iron pellets were flying in the sky. The Jin soldiers and cavalry were beaten and staggered, and people were on their backs. The fire and gun soldiers of the Song Army moved forward slowly, the sound of fire and gun fire continued, corpses piled up on the long street, blocking the avenue, and there was a bloody storm.
"Kill Song..."
Before Wanyan Chenglin could finish his words, another horse was hit with a musket and shot with bloody arrows. The horse screamed and fell to the ground, throwing Wanyan Chenglin down as well.
"Big...gold..."
Wanyan Chenglin was lying on the ground, covered in blood, muttering to himself, and finally didn't move.
The sound of firecrackers paused, and Tian Yi caught up. He looked at Wanyan Chenglin, who was wearing the emperor's crown and had expired, and turned to the Jin Army prisoners aside.
"Is this the emperor of the Jin Kingdom?"
"Back to the general, this is Wanyan Chenglin of the Jin Kingdom clan. It must be the emperor who passed the throne to..."
"After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a fake!"
Tian Yi interrupted the prisoners and issued military orders.
"Keep moving forward. If there is any resistance, we will kill them all!"
The sound of fighting and gunfire outside continued, getting closer and closer. In Orchid Pavilion, Wanyan Shouxu's eyes were filled with sadness.
On the table in front of him, three feet of white silk seemed to be about to end its life.
"Great Jin Kingdom, it's over!"
Wanyan Shouxu stood up and stood on the stool. Bai Ling got on top of it, tied it up, hung it around his neck, and kicked the stool away from his feet.
The door of the palace was pushed open, and the soldier commander Wanyan Jiangshan came in with several attendants, their faces full of horror.
"Your Majesty, Song Jun..."
Wanyan Jiangshan's words came to an abrupt end. His golden emperor Wanyan Shouxu had committed suicide by hanging from a beam. His gently swaying body seemed to reveal his unwillingness.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Wanyan Jiangshan and others knelt down and cried bitterly, then stepped forward and put Wanyan Shouxu's body down.
"This is His Majesty's last command! His body must be burned to avoid being humiliated by the Song army!"
A soldier picked up the paper on the table, and it turned out to be Wanyan Shouxu's last words.
"Burn the body!"
Wanyan Jiangshan immediately ordered that the tables and chairs were chopped up and piled up, bedding and clothes were piled on top, Wanyan Shouxu's body was placed on top, charcoal was poured next to the body, and a raging fire rose into the sky.
"Burn it! Destroy it all!"
When Tian Yi brought people over, Wanyan Jiangshan and others had just come out. The gun soldiers stepped forward and stabbed Wanyan Jiangshan and others to the ground with their bayonets red.
"Where is the Golden Emperor?"
Tian Yi asked loudly.
"It's all burned! You'll never find it!"
Wanyan Jiangshan was lying on the ground, laughing. Tian Yi frowned, and the fire gun soldiers on the side stabbed him several times, and Wanyan Jiangshan's laughter disappeared.
After entering Youlanxuan, he saw the corpses that were already burning on the fire and glanced at Bai Ling on the beam. Tian Yi remained silent.
"General, would you like to give it to..."
The fire gun soldiers on the side were eager to try.
Obtaining the bones of the Emperor of Jin is undoubtedly a great achievement.
"Do you think His Majesty would like this?"
Tian Yi glared at the Fire Gun Soldier and sighed.
"Let him and his Great Jin Dynasty be wiped out in ashes."
The Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu died, and the so-called Great Jin Kingdom was gone. The Song people finally restored the Central Plains and regained their own mountains, rivers and dignity.
It was approaching dusk, with heavy snow falling. On the Ru River, a young woman stepped on the ice, alone and lost, walking slowly towards the middle of the river.
"Princess, come back quickly!"
Cao Youwen, Tian Yi and others shouted loudly from behind. Several people got on the ice but did not dare to move forward.
The Ru River has just frozen, and the banks are still a little firmer, but the center of the river is full of thin ice, which will break if it gets closer.
"Princess, if you want to die for the country, the old ministers will follow you. But, have you ever thought about the prince and the Jin clan? If you die for the country, the Song Emperor will have no scruples and will definitely be angry with the Queen Mother, the King of Jing and the King of Liang. At that time, you He is Dajin’s eternal sinner!”
The captured Jinchen Zhang Tiangang came up and shouted bitterly, his white hair trembling.
Wan Yanchun was stunned and could no longer take another step.
"Princess, the Great Jin Kingdom is dead, think about the living people. Emperor Song is so fierce, you don't want Emperor Song to have no way out, right?"
Zhang Tiangang stepped forward, spoke softly and earnestly, and persuaded the demented Wanyan Chunla to come back.
Cao Youwen and others looked at each other and secretly sighed.
If something unexpected happened to Wan Yanchun, the joke would be big. Even if the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, it may not be able to satisfy the passionate emperor.
In the fourth year of Jianwu of the Song Dynasty, in the winter of 1233 AD, on December 11, the Song army captured Caizhou City. Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Jin Dynasty hanged himself in the Youlanxuan Palace at the age of 37. Wanyan Chenglin, the last emperor of the Jin Kingdom, died in a street fight. More than 500 people, including Prime Minister Wanyan Huxiehu, Shenzhen Zhengzheng, marshals, and soldiers, all died in battle or committed suicide.
The Jin Dynasty was founded by Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda, and it took 119 years until it finally fell at the hands of the Song Dynasty.
