The Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, and the Jurchen nobles of the Kingdom of Jin should live with their tail between their legs.
After all, their ancestors had done nothing good, and now that they did not have strong military protection, they should be careful about being retaliated against.
Under this situation, Zhao Tai was willing to accept them. They should have burned incense, but they thought of threatening Zhao Tai, and they hit Zhao Tai's bottom line.
Generally speaking, only in the middle and late stages of a dynasty's development can the powerful class have the ability to influence and interfere in the country's policies and decisions, and their interference represents the weakening of the dynasty's control over the world.
The powerful will use their influence to further tilt the distribution of social resources in their favor, thereby increasing social conflicts and eventually leading to the decline and collapse of the dynasty.
Now that Zhao Taicai was starting his own business, these nobles from the Jin Kingdom dared to play tricks on him, which Zhao Tai couldn't bear.
Wanyan Lian was just pretending to be poor. He actually dared to put pressure on Zhao Tai through his generals. He was seeking death.
Wanyan Chengde was invited over by Wanyan Lian, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw the Jurchens in Xuzhou City selling off their property.
He learned from Wan Yanlian and others that it was Zhao Tai who forced them to hand over 300,000 yuan. They had no choice but to sell their property.
Wanyan Chengde felt a little aggrieved when he saw that the Jurchen people were eating chaffy vegetables and could not even keep a place to live, so he came to find Zhao Tai for an explanation.
Now that he heard Zhao Tai's words, he had doubts about Wanyan Lian and others.
Before Kaifeng was besieged, these people escaped from Kaifeng and went to Xuzhou to cause trouble.
In order to save the Jin Kingdom, he followed Zhao Tai to fight in Shandong and attack Hebei, and finally joined forces with the Song Army to rescue. It can be said that he has done everything he can, but people like Wanyan Lian are hiding in Xuzhou and watching the fall of Kaifeng.
Wanyan Chengde, Wanyan Chenghu and others, although their surname is Wanyan, are at the bottom of the Jurchens. The Jin Kingdom no longer cares about them in the later period, and life is not easy.
Wanyan Lian and others were different. They were true relatives of the emperor and enjoyed the benefits provided by the Kingdom of Jin. However, at the critical moment, they escaped from the battle.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Chengde felt a little unbalanced in his heart. He also wanted to see if Wanyan Lian and others were pretending to be poor and whether they were ready to surrender to Mongolia.
"I accept your order!" Wanyan Chengde said solemnly, clasping his fists.
Xuzhou City, Wanyan Lian's residence.
At this time, in the study room, Wanyan Lian and several members of the clan were sitting on the Grand Master's chair, enjoying tea comfortably.
He drank a bowl of green tea soup and said with a smile: "I have convinced two generals, Wanyan Chengde and Wanyan Chenghu, and they agreed to intercede for us! They are all loyal to the king's deployment, and they hold thousands of our Jurchens' treasures in their hands. Elite soldiers, if they speak, King Zhong will definitely reconsider."
Everyone heard that he had persuaded Zhao Tai's Jurchen generals, and their faces became happy, "The old prince still has a way!"
Wanyan Lian smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased with himself, "Don't worry, everyone, I guess Prince Zhong will issue an order today!"
"That's a good relationship!" Everyone laughed, and someone suggested: "Everyone, the old prince has saved us a lot of money. From now on, we will only follow his lead!"
Wanyan Lian waved his hand, "Although I used a trick this time to prevent King Zhong from blackmailing us. However, after Kaifeng was captured, the imperial court overturned. Without the imperial court to make decisions for us, we are still fish in the eyes of others!"
After hearing his words, everyone was brought back to reality and stopped smiling.
"Old Prince, what do you think we should do?" Everyone already regarded him as their backbone.
Wanyan Lian said solemnly: "Without the support of the imperial court, Pu Chaguan slaves blackmailed us, and King Zhong also wanted to take away our money. Therefore, I thought that the only way to avoid being blackmailed was to re-establish the Jin Kingdom. There is As long as the imperial court is here, no one dares to touch us clan members!"
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but nodded heavily, thinking about the days when they were domineering when the Jin Dynasty court was here, and then looking at how they look like grandsons now, everyone felt a sense of emotion in their hearts.
"Old Prince, how can we rebuild Daikin when we don't have an army and don't control states and counties?" someone asked.
Wanyan Lian said with a smile: "We don't have it, but King Zhong does. Doesn't he claim to be a loyal minister of Dajin? When this matter is over, we will contact the Jurchen generals in Zhongyi Town and ask them to ask for King Zhong to choose from the clan. One person can be crowned emperor and restore our great Jin Kingdom Zuo."
When everyone heard the words, their eyes lit up and they started talking.
If this plan is realized, then the states, counties, and the army controlled by Zhao Tai will become the Jin Dynasty's court, and with the Jin Kingdom's court here, they can continue to enjoy their privileges.
At this time, everyone was discussing when Wanyan Lian's youngest son Wanyan Shu suddenly broke in and said in a panic: "Father, the two generals Chengde and Chenghu are outside the house!"
Wanyan Lian frowned, "There's nothing to panic about! These must be the two generals who explained our difficulties to King Zhong. King Zhong changed his mind and asked the two generals to come over and tell us!"
In the study, several people immediately became happy.
Wanyan Lian stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm going to greet the two generals!"
If it were in the past, with Wanyan Lian's identity, he would not be able to greet them in person. Wanyan Chengde and Wanyan Chenghu, who have sparse bloodlines, have become the descendants of ordinary Jurchen people.
The situation was different now. The two were Jurchen generals under Zhao Tai who had military power. He needed to win over them, so he stood up quickly and prepared to greet them at the door in person.
Wanyan Lian was very fast and didn't want the two of them to wait at the door for a long time. But as soon as he left the study, he saw two people wearing armors and leading a large group of Jurchen soldiers, rushing directly into the house.
What Wan Yanlian did brought a lot of trouble to Zhao Tai, but Zhao Tai thought about it a little and found a solution.
Wanyan Lian created a gap between the Jurchen soldiers and Zhao Tai, and Zhao Tai asked the Jurchen soldiers to come and check Wanyan Lian and others.
These Jurchen soldiers are indeed Jurchens, and they cannot be distinguished by ethnic group. Like many Han people, they are all poor and belong to the same class.
Zhao Tai asked them to search, just to show them how much wealth these Jurchen nobles had plundered.
When they were fighting in the north and south, but worried about food and clothing, these Jurchen nobles had a lot of wealth, but they were unwilling to spend any of it to support the army against the Mongols and let them eat more meat.
By then, although they are both Jurchens and even related, the Jurchen soldiers in Zhongyi Town will still break with these Jurchen nobles and become incompatible with each other.
At that time, Zhao Tai wanted to kill these Jurchen nobles and confiscate their property. These Jurchen soldiers could not help but sympathize and even applaud him.
At this time, Wanyan Lian had just left the study when he saw Wanyan Chengde leading a large group of soldiers, forcing his guard aside and walking straight over.
Wanyan Lian's heart trembled and he asked doubtfully, "General Chengde, this is it!"
Wanyan Chengde grimaced and took out a warrant, "Wanyan Lian, you escaped from the battle and wanted to surrender to Mongolia. His Highness King Zhong has ordered that you be arrested and interrogated, and your property will be confiscated!"
