Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Daddy, why are you so stupid?" Zong Ying cried after a long time.

"For the sake of the righteousness of the country, I have to betray Emperor Jianyan! However, I am always uneasy! Rather than living in this world with such anxiety in my heart, I would rather die with peace of mind! I was disloyal to Emperor Jianyan and guilty of him, but I used My life is here to wash away my sins, and I hope he can forgive me when I go underground! In fact, I am very happy now. I thought I would never see the day of national unity in my life, but now I see it! And, I know Emperor Xuanwu has a strong military force, and the recovery of the Central Plains is just around the corner. I am so happy! Recovering the Central Plains is my dream, and Emperor Xuanwu can realize this dream for me!" Zongze said with a smile on his pale face.

"Daddy, stop talking." Zong Ying cried.

"My lord, is there any cure?" Wang Yan asked anxiously. He supported Zongze, and one after another internal force went towards Zongze's body. It's a pity that Zongze's heart has been broken, and any internal force will not help.

"I'm hopeless! Now I have something to tell you! Anyway, sooner or later I'll die, let me finish." Zong Ze leaned against the city wall and said.

Zong Ying broke down in tears, and Wang Yan also had tears in his eyes.

"After I die, you must not rebel! You know, the country was unified with great difficulty, and our country can no longer afford to experience civil strife! National unification is the aspiration of the people. If anyone rebels, the people will not agree." Zong Ze Road.

"We know." Wang Yan said.

"I feel that the way of governing the country today is very different from that of previous dynasties. He implemented the rent reduction order, which is an important measure for the benefit of all people in the world! However, if the rent reduction order is implemented in Jiangnan, the officials and gentry are likely to be dissatisfied, and Jiangnan may be chaotic. It's been a long time! You wrote him a letter for me, telling him to do things safely and step by step! At the beginning, he implemented the rent reduction order in Hanzhong and Sichuan to win the hearts of the people. Now in Jiangnan, in order to win the hearts of the people, it is best to The best way is to keep Jiangnan in its original state! Even if the rent reduction order is implemented, it can also be implemented in the northern provinces. The policies are different, and the common people will naturally go to the north. " Zong Ze said again.

"My child understands." Zong Ying said.

"When Emperor Xuanwu was in Hanzhong and Guanshan, he was diligent and never extravagant. This is a good thing. Among the many emperors in the Song Dynasty, none of them can compare with him! Like other emperors, he will build a palace with extravagance! Write a letter for me to persuade him." Zong Ze said.

Zong Ying and Wang Yan nodded.

"The military aircraft department and staff headquarters he established in Hanzhong and Guanshan have great power, and almost no one can restrain him! He was fine when he was in power. If another emperor succeeds to the throne after a hundred years in the future, how can he do anything wrong? Don’t you want chaos in the world? Write a letter for me, saying that the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters have too much power and must be restricted!” Zong Ze said again.

Zong Ying and Wang Yan nodded again.

"When I was the county magistrate in Zhejiang and Shandong, I also wrote down some of the ways of governing the country in my heart. You compiled these into books! Also, there are some of my military experience on the desk of the government office, and my You have compiled the various formations that have been collected in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. I hope these can be passed down." Zong Ze said.

He also has a sense of fame and fortune, and hopes that what he writes can be passed down.

At this moment, his face was getting paler, his eyes were getting darker, and his body was slowly softening. Wang Yan and Zong Ying hurriedly squatted down and hugged his body with their hands.

"Dad, don't worry, what you said is what children should do." Zong Ying cried.

The three of them were talking here, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and a tall figure rushed up from below! It was Zhang Jun!

There are more than a dozen rebel generals behind Zhang Jun, but their speed is not as fast as Zhang Jun, and they are also rushing over.

There are more rebel soldiers coming in farther places.

When Zongze cut off his heart, the rebel soldiers nearby had seen it, and they hurried to call the others.

"My lord! What's wrong with you?" Zhang Jun came to Zongze and asked anxiously.

The relationship between Zhang Jun and Zong Ze is average, but he still admires Zong Ze very much, thinking that he is a great old man. Seeing Zongze like this, he was also shocked!

The generals of the rebel army came to Zongze and cried bitterly.

"It's great that you're all here! I've told Wang Yan and Zong Ying just now, and I'll tell you again now! Now that Emperor Jianyan is dead, and Emperor Xuanwu has become the only emperor of the Song Dynasty, you all must! Don’t betray Emperor Xuanwu! The Great Song Dynasty suffered catastrophe, and the people were devastated. I have been working hard to regain the Central Plains all these years, but unfortunately I did something wrong later. I fought a civil war with Emperor Xuanwu here! Our Great Song Dynasty can no longer have civil strife, no more I have encountered such a catastrophe! If you betray Emperor Xuanwu and Song Dynasty after I die, I will not feel at ease even after I die!" Zong Ze said.

The surrounding generals nodded tearfully.

"I'm going to die, but luckily I have no regrets..." Zong Ze smiled again, but the smile slowly froze on his face, and Zong Ying who was next to him yelled, but Zong Ze never responded.

*** ***

Yu Yunwen came here after Zong Ze held his breath.

He knelt down in front of Zongze's body to pay his respects.

In the great China, the more catastrophe it encounters, the more heroes will emerge in large numbers! Zong Ze is also a hero!

He cared about the country all his life. Even when he was dying, he still cared about the stability of the country. He didn't want to see the country split up, and he didn't want to see the country in turmoil. He is a Confucian courtier, Confucianism pays attention to loyalty, and he never forgets the word loyalty. He once saved Zhao Chen's life, and he also stopped the war with Guanshan for the sake of national justice. It is said that he has made great contributions to Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen will definitely not treat him badly, but he would rather commit suicide in order to fulfill the loyalty in his heart.

Yu Yunwen respected such a character from the bottom of his heart.

In the early morning, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu who got the news also came here.

At this moment, Zongze's mourning hall had been erected, and Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu kowtowed and knelt before Zongze's mourning hall.

Countless generals and soldiers of the rebel army have also put on sackcloth and filial piety to pay homage to Zongze.

Until late at night, Yu Yunwen, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan, Zong Ying and others assembled again.

Wang Yan and Zong Ying were still wearing filial piety, and the rest of them also looked sad.

"Master Yu, we have already made up our minds and decided to surrender to Emperor Xuanwu," Wang Yan said.

"I thank you on behalf of the people of the world!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Don't thank us! Without Mr. Zongze, it might take us a long time to make such a decision!" Zhang Jun smiled wryly. At least he himself is unwilling to take refuge in Zhao Chen. When he was outside Xiangzhou City, he hated Zhao Chen very much. When the peace was negotiated at the beginning of the year, he also did not agree. This time, it was Zongze's noble sentiments that moved him, and he was willing to surrender.

"How do we arrange the army here? There are hundreds of thousands of troops here! Especially the number of rebels exceeds 600,000!" Wang Yan said.

"About the army, since the country has been unified, there is no need for so many troops! The 600,000 rebels can return to their hometown! I wonder if General Wang Yan will agree?" Yu Yunwen said.

"I promise! I am also a poor man, and I became the leader of the rebel army later. I know what brothers think. Many brothers are tired of being in the rebel army, and they all want to return to their hometown. However, the Central Plains is still occupied by the Jurchen. Among them, they can't go back." Wang Yan said.

"I believe that the Central Plains will be recovered in a short time." Yu Yunwen said.

"Oh? In the past few days, I heard rumors in Chang'an City that some people said that the imperial army has gone north to conquer Datong. Is there such a thing?" Wang Yan said.

Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, Zhang Jun and others nearby also listened immediately.

"It's not just about conquering Datong! We have more than 300,000 troops entering the north, of which 100,000 troops are stationed in Datong, Yanmen and other places. Yue Fei and Liu Qi led 80,000 troops into the grassland. The news we just got is that they have defeated The 180,000 troops led by Jin Wushu on the grassland! Moreover, they have already gone south! In addition, Li Xianzhong's 150,000 troops have also marched east! A total of more than 200,000 troops will soon occupy the entire Yanyun Sixteen States! Wait until Yanyun After the defeat of the sixteen prefectures, we occupy the Great Wall. It is almost impossible for the Jurchens in the north to go south. We can slowly clean up the Jurchens in the Central Plains and Liu Yu’s puppet army! We have a total of more than 700,000 troops in Guanshan. If all Entering the Central Plains, there is no problem in defeating Jurchen! At that time, if you are willing to help, that would be the best." Yu Yunwen laughed.

"Has the general trend of the world turned into this?" Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others were all taken aback. They didn't expect so many things to happen in just half a year!

First, Zhao Chen entered Jiangnan, besieged Lin'an with 100,000 soldiers, and killed Zhao Gou, and then hundreds of thousands of troops from Guanshan entered the north, fought in the north, and even occupied the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures! However, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and the others stayed in Guanshan, with no news and no knowledge. By the time they heard the news, the situation in the world had become clearer.

"Lord Zongze will be very happy if he hears such news!" Wang Yan said with a soft sigh.

"If the rebels return to their hometown, each person can have ten acres of land and can distribute seeds!" Yu Yunwen said again.

This news had already been spread in the rebel army before, and now Yu Yunwen has officially confirmed it.

"Great!" Wang Yan said happily.

"As for the troops under General Zhang and General Han, you can stay, but you must train them according to our Guanshan method, and your army will also be under the command of the General Staff Headquarters! Personnel from the Propaganda Department will also enter your army," Yu Yunwen said. .

Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong frowned, Han Shizhong nodded first, and Zhang Jun finally nodded too.

For the unification of the country, nationalization of the military is also inevitable. If not, the country will not be truly unified.

"I hope that the army around Chang'an can complete the reorganization very quickly! At that time, we will go north together and enter Guanshan! But now General Zhao Zhe will lead 100,000 troops to pass through Chang'an and Tongguan so that they can enter Hebei. I hope you can make the opening of Tongguan pass." Lu. In addition, General Qu Duan will soon lead his army to wipe out all the remaining Jurchens in Guanshan, I hope you can also cooperate and fight together." Yu Yunwen said again.
