It can only be said that these people think too much.
Who is the sinner and who is the bastard is meaningless to Mingguo. Mingguo does not want to attack any legitimacy. The greatest legitimacy lies in Mingguo, and Mingguo itself is the greatest orthodoxy.
For a group of criminals, how Mingguo wants to deal with them is Mingguo's own business, and there is no possibility of relying on other people's identities to do things.
The Southern Song Dynasty thought that they had left everything behind. They neither persecuted them nor did anything wrong. They just killed their relatives and did the right thing.
But all this means nothing to orthodoxy.
Zhang Yuejing and others looked at the large number of Southern Song Dynasty royal family members who were sent in surprise. They felt that the efficiency of the Southern Song Dynasty bureaucrats was at the level of Schrödinger. They didn't know whether it was fast or slow.
Sometimes I think he is fast, but he is terribly slow. Sometimes I think he is slow, but he comes out as quickly as lightning, very fast.
Zhang Shi returned again, and very respectfully handed over the deposed emperor Zhao Yu, who lost power in the coup last night, to Zhang Yuejing, as well as a large number of members of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family.
Most of them were caught in the palace, and a small number of them lived in other places in Lin'an City. Shen Gai personally ordered their arrests after dawn.
Except for the Supreme Empress Wu, the new emperor Zhao Dun and his sons, wives and concubines, all members of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family in Lin'an City were wiped out.
Including the deposed prince Zhao Su, the second prince Zhao Kai, as well as all the family members of the Southern Song Dynasty royal men such as Zhao Hao, Zhao Gou, Zhao Su, Zhao Kai, etc. who stayed in the palace, and even some who had been rescued from the Jin Dynasty by Su Yonglin before. The Northern Song Dynasty clan members who returned to the Southern Song Dynasty were all captured.
Throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, the children of the Zhao and Song clans were not limited to those in Lin'an City. There were also some children of the clan in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, and there were also a very small number of children of the clan serving as officials in the local area.
But the ones in Lin'an City are naturally the ones with the closest blood relationship and the largest number.
They were packed and sent to the Ming army camp.
If someone could paint this scene, it would definitely be called a world-famous scene in Chinese history.
The same world-famous scene happened once in Kaifeng City decades ago, but most of the reasons for that time were forced by the Jin Army.
But this time, it is hard to say how much subjective initiative the Southern Song Dynasty bureaucrats had.
At least Zhang Yuejing didn't expect that there would be a coup in Lin'an City at the beginning, and he took the initiative to oust Zhao Hao, and actually handed Zhao Hao over.
Good guy, Zhang Yuejing called him a good guy.
It can only be said that the Southern Song Dynasty bureaucrats who initiated the coup were very worried that someone would threaten their identity and status as well as the benefits obtained after the coup, so they wanted to eliminate all troubles no matter what, and dumped all problems on the Ming Dynasty, leaving themselves Skim it clean——
It also reduced a lot of royal funds, which gave a good relief to the terrible economic problems of the Southern Song Dynasty.
As soon as Yu Yunwen saw the sent Zhao Min, he went crazy and wanted to pounce on Zhang Shi and bite Zhang Shi. He angrily accused Zhang Shi of being an unworthy servant and the biggest traitor in the world. He could not kill Zhang Shi while he was alive. After he died, Even if he turns into a fierce ghost, he will haunt Zhang Shi day and night, eat Zhang Shi alive, and make him die without a place to bury him.
Faced with Yu Yunwen's cruel curse filled with blood and tears, Zhang Shi seemed calm and relaxed.
"I don't believe in ghosts and gods. People are dead when they die. If there really are ghosts and gods, Mr. Yu, the ghosts of those who died tragically when Sanyi returned to the river would have eaten the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty alive. How could we still be here now?"
Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then cursed Zhang Shi even more fiercely. His eyes were cracked, his teeth were bitten into pieces, and blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, showing the resentment in his heart.
Zhao Min was gagged and gagged, and when he saw Yu Yunwen looking like this, he shed tears of pain.
Zhang Yuejing and others didn't care about the dog-eat-dog fight between them, and quickly counted the people who had been sent.
"Except for the current official family, the Queen Mother, and the children, wives and concubines of the current official family, all members of the royal family are here. Of course, the Supreme Emperor is in Wenzhou, and we are beyond our reach. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor has nothing to do with this matter. …”
"It has nothing to do with this matter, but it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it. Anyway, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty hates your Supreme Emperor very much."
Zhang Yuejing said: "Anyway, you can just keep Zhao Dun and the Wu family. The others are not important to you, nor to the future Jiangnan Kingdom. Zhao Gou should be a burden to Jiangnan Kingdom, right?"
"This is not something I can speculate on."
Zhang Shi whispered: "Then are you satisfied? Can the main force of the Ming army retreat? The soldiers and people in the city are very uneasy because of the majesty of the Ming army."
Zhang Yuejing stared at Zhang Shi for a long time and grinned.
"Don't worry, I will do what I say."
Zhang Yuejing then ordered the Ming army that surrounded Lin'an City in front of Zhang Shi to withdraw from the siege and retreat thirty miles to the north. Only 5,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers remained outside Lin'an City, and all artillery was also withdrawn one after another, and no one was retained in Lin'an. Within the city limits.
The Ming army quickly began to retreat. Seeing this, Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this case, the next thing will be much easier to handle. If you have any other needs, general, just ask. Everything can be discussed."
Zhang Yuejing nodded happily.
"Privy Zhang is so easy to talk to, so of course everything is very easy to handle. In addition to those five conditions, His Majesty the Ming Emperor has to ask for instructions on the rest, so my army will have to harass outside the city for a while until everything settles.
The other conditions are just waiting for the decree of His Majesty the Ming Emperor. However, I still have some difficulties in providing food and fodder for my 70,000-strong army. I hope to get help from the Southern Dynasty. I wonder if the Southern Dynasty can provide some food and fodder for my army to help my army tide over the difficulties. ? "
Zhang Shi smiled.
"If it's just food, it won't be a problem. If the general needs anything, just ask him. I will work with my colleagues to solve it for the general."
"Very good."
Zhang Yuejing smiled and patted Zhang Shi on the shoulder: "With an official like Privy Zhang in the Southern Dynasty, it's really hard not to prosper."
Of course Zhang Shi could hear the ridicule in these words, but at this moment he no longer cared.
Do what you think is right in your heart, and one day you will be understood by others.
He had no doubt.
This day is September 18th, the fifth year of Hongwu.
And on the same day, something ridiculous happened.
The main force of the Weihai Navy of the Ming Army went south, entered the Suzhou Ocean, and reached the coastal area of Lin'an City. They blocked the sea of Lin'an City, then sent troops to land, and even brought a dozen general cannons ashore with great fanfare, which frightened the Southern Song Dynasty. .
Zhang Yuejing felt funny, so he and Zhang Shi went to the location of the Weihai Navy. Under the banner of Zhang Yuejing, the commander-in-chief of the Henan Corps, they met with Weihai Navy General Zhou Mancheng and informed him of the complete surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhou Mancheng looked confused.
"I just came here, why did I surrender? This... this is a bit..."
"No way, they did surrender, and there was a coup."
Zhang Yuejing told Zhou Mancheng what had happened in Lin'an City before. Zhou Mancheng was stunned when he heard that it was hard to believe that the Southern Song Dynasty actually staged a coup on his own while he was on his way.
"Then who is the emperor now?"
"It turned out that Zhao Dun was the third son of Zhao Dun."
"Then Zhao Xin and the others..."
"They are all being guarded by the military. They are under strict supervision. They can be escorted to Zhongdu for disposal only upon the Chairman's order."
"That's it..."
Zhou Mancheng scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Then wouldn’t it be pointless for me to go south?”
"That's not true."
Zhang Yuejing whispered: "Don't the chairman hate Zhao Gou very much? He once said that Zhao Gou is the number one criminal in the world. As long as there is a chance, he must try Zhao Gou. But Zhao Gou is not in Lin'an. He is in Wenzhou and is the only one at the moment. A fish that slipped through the net.”
"you mean?"
"There is no need to fight in Lin'an. You can go to Wenzhou. Wenzhou is still relatively far away. I have no choice but to trek from here. But is it difficult for the Weihai navy to land directly from Wenzhou and attack Wenzhou? Not to mention you have artillery.”
Zhang Yuejing grinned and said, "I think this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
