More than a thousand Lin'an Forbidden Army, led by Yu Yunwen, went to seal the Lin'an city gate.
At first, they beat and kicked those who tried to leave the city gate, preventing them from leaving Lin'an City, saying that the city gate would be closed. However, everyone tried to leave Lin'an City even more frantically, completely ignoring the deterrence of the Forbidden Army. .
Yu Yunwen was furious and ordered the imperial troops not to give in. They would chop with knives and shoot with bows and arrows. No matter who they were or who they were, they would kill them without mercy.
Come and kill one, come and kill two, come and kill a pair, kill one to increase the reward by one thousand, allocate it immediately without delay!
The Imperial Guards received the order and were greatly encouraged. They immediately regarded the Lin'an residents who came to attack the Lin'an City Gate as life and death enemies. They slashed them with their swords very bravely. In a short time, there were rivers of blood and corpses piled up like mountains in front of Lin'an South City Gate. People dared to attack the city gate.
Their brave and senseless appearance makes it hard to believe that they are actually a group of Lin'an Forbidden Army. Those who don't know better think that the Ming army came to Lin'an as a guest security team.
Not only were the Lin'an Forbidden Army killing people so ferociously, but Yu Yunwen himself also picked up a knife and beheaded several people, leaving them covered in blood. His face remained calm and solemn, without any wavering, and his determination was firm.
With such iron-blooded tactics, Yu Yunwen spent three hours sealing all the city gates of Lin'an except the palace gate, and gathered more than 3,000 Lin'an forbidden troops to listen to his orders.
These more than 3,000 imperial troops temporarily formed the Lin'an Imperial Camp, which controlled Lin'an's defense and took charge of the city gates of the Lin'an Security Department.
In these more than three hours, Yu Yunwen and the Lin'an Forbidden Army killed countless people. The smell of blood in Lin'an City was very strong, and many of them were petty officials or wealthy households in the city.
After a fierce battle, Yu Yunwen finally represented the Song Army and achieved a rare military victory for the Song Army since the first war between the Ming and Song Dynasties - the victory at Lin'an City Gate.
In this battle, the Song army was very brave and fought fiercely. It used thousands of troops to repel hundreds of thousands of basically unarmed Lin'an residents who tried to leave the city, killing more than 100 people and injuring more than 500 people. There were more than 700 residents, and more than 3,000 people were killed or wounded. The casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves was extremely high, and an undisputed "great" victory was achieved.
The victory of this battle directly broke the Song Army's "victory drought" during the Song Dynasty War, effectively countered the rumors that "the Song Army is absolutely impossible to win", and fully proved the Song Army's combat effectiveness and "as long as the enemy chooses the right opponent" , don’t be afraid that there will be no battle to win”.
Congratulations, Coca-Cola!
Through this great victory at Lin'an City Gate, Yu Yunwen led the Song Army to control the situation in Lin'an City and issued a ban order - from now on, no one in the city is allowed to leave their homes without an order. Anyone who leaves their homes will be immediately deemed as The thief shall be beheaded on the spot. .
After learning about this, one of his subordinates spoke to Yu Yunwen.
"If the residents in the city do not have food stored at home, they will starve if they do not go out for several days. If they go out to look for food, are they not allowed?"
"No, who knows whether he is looking for food or has other motives? If you let one person out, everyone will come out. Rather than causing chaos, it is better not to allow anyone to come out. Anyone who dares to come out will be shot to death! No indulgence!"
Yu Yunwen knew what harm this would cause to Lin'an City.
Some people will probably die of hunger, some will die of thirst, and some will die of illness.
But compared with this kind of insignificant harm, the overall situation is obviously more important. For the overall situation, it doesn't matter whether you starve to death, thirsty, or die of illness. For the overall situation, so what if a few people die?
Before Lin'an City is completely stabilized, anyone who dares to go out will be killed. The entire city's soldiers will kill anyone who is found to be out, and will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!
After receiving this order, more than 3,000 soldiers immediately sharpened their swords, intending to watch whoever dared to come out without being discerning, and in that case, they would look good directly.
One knife is worth a whole lot of money. If you kill a few more, don't you want to make a fortune? At that moment, someone began to think about luring some idiots out, and then taking the opportunity to kill them and ask Yu Yunwen for a reward.
Where is this person?
This is all money!
With a little manipulation, you can get several months of military pay, or even a year or two of military pay. As long as you are willing to kill people, you can get anything!
Can you do it?
Gu Xi
Of course, there is no doubt about it!
The soldiers became excited.
When the entire court was in chaos and unable to react, only Yu Yunwen showed strong psychological quality.
Although he had been frightened and despaired, when faced with a crisis situation, he still stood up resolutely, showed his determination and talent, and strongly stabilized the order of Lin'an City, preventing Lin'an City from collapsing.
Yu Yunwen's actions stabilized Lin'an City, and it was not until he completed this task that the imperial court's order to close all city gates came belatedly.
According to the court's speed, if the city gates were closed at this time, the residents of Lin'an City would have to flee again.
After Zhao Yu learned about Yu Yunwen's actions, he was very moved and personally helped Yu Yunwen up when Yu Yunwen took the initiative to plead guilty.
"What's your crime? The dynasty is full of civil and military officials. Only you can take action. You are worthy of being the pillar of the country."
Zhao Zhen looked at Yu Yunwen with tears in his eyes, held his hand, and ordered that Yu Yunwen be immediately appointed as Privy Councilor and Pingzhang Army State Affairs, fully responsible for all current military and political affairs in Lin'an City.
So Yu Yunwen immediately became Chen Kangbo 2.0, becoming another important minister with great power, and his status was still above Chen Kangbo.
Most of the time in the Northern Song Dynasty, Pingzhangjun State Affairs was only an honorary position, and even if it was a real job, it was an important matter for Pingzhang Military State. He could only handle "heavy" matters and his power was limited. However, if it became Pingzhangjun State Affairs, it would be equivalent to great power. Monopoly, military and political integration.
Zhao Hao's golden words promised Yu Yunwen such a position, which obviously gave him real power.
However, this kind of front-line appointment did not bring any sense of accomplishment to Yu Yunwen. Yu Yunwen only had urgency in his heart.
He made some urgent suggestions to Zhao Yu at the next state council meeting.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to find out how far the Ming army has progressed and what their next plan is. If the Ming army has decided to attack Lin'an, then it should immediately recall the soldiers and horses from the three towns in the south of the Yangtze River and ask them to come. Lin'an assists in defense and defends Lin'an.
If the Ming army does not intend to attack Lin'an, then they must contact them immediately, ask them about the reasons and purposes of their move south, and try to negotiate with them. No matter what their demands are, as long as they are willing to negotiate, everything can be saved. "
"Recover? How to recover? It's not like you haven't read Hongwu's political commentaries. Su Yonglin had the idea of destroying the Song Dynasty from the beginning. He had no intention of coexisting with the Song Dynasty. What's the point of negotiating? I think this time, Su Yonglin is I really want to fight us to the death..."
Zhao Min looked gloomy and shook his head repeatedly.
But Yu Yunwen insisted on negotiating.
"You don't know the result if you don't try. What if they are willing to talk? As long as they are willing to talk, it means they are not ready to completely destroy the Song Dynasty. Maybe it is because of the Yellow River, or maybe it is because of other reasons. Anyway, as long as they are willing Just negotiate.
In this case, although our army is defeated, we can still make some fuss about the fact that the Ming Dynasty is not fully prepared to go south, seize food from the tiger's mouth, and get some benefits from them, at least to preserve the foundation of the Song Dynasty, Xu Tu Back lift. "
Seeing Yu Yunwen's sincere words, Zhao Hao was moved.
Even after reaching this point, Yu Yunwen was still willing to fight for the Song Dynasty and was still making suggestions for him.
"Sure enough, Yu Qing treats me and the Song Dynasty sincerely."
"I am deeply blessed by my country. When things come to a close, I will do nothing more than risk my life to serve my country."
Yu Yunwen bowed to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Yan held Yu Yunwen's hand and was moved to tears.
