In the sky, a ray of the setting sun is like blood, illuminating the never-ending waters of the Jialing River and the broken mountains and rivers.
Outside the Diaoyu City, the Mongolian army's military tents stretched out, wrapping the Diaoyu City inside and out.
Xia Pingan's upright figure stood on the wall of Diaoyu City. Looking at the scene in front of him, he had kept it for more than ten minutes. More than 30 generals in Diaoyu City stood behind Xia Ping'an, each with solemn expressions and faces. There is also a trace of sadness.
And the countless sergeants guarding the city walls and fortresses were also looking at this side.
"General, the news has been confirmed. Just a few days ago, Lu Xiufu and His Majesty Zhao Bing jumped into the sea on the cliff. Lu Xiufu and His Majesty swore not to surrender. The Song Dynasty is already dead." Zhang Jue hurried over, leading He climbed up the tower with a heavy breath, and spoke in a hoarse voice behind Xia Ping'an. The voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help crying while speaking.
Many generals behind him were already in tears.
"Yesterday, more than 200 people from central Sichuan came to seek refuge in the city. There are nearly 200,000 people in Diaoyu City. The crops from Tianchi Lake in the fertile fields in the city can no longer feed so many people. The remaining food can last for seven days. .
This is the way the Mongolian army came up with to deal with Diaoyu City. Isn't Diaoyu City self-sufficient? They drove people from all over the country to flee to Diaoyu City. Those people were killed, and Diaoyu City could only accept them. Then, the population in Diaoyu City expanded from the initial tens of thousands to nearly 200,000.
The small Diaoyu City has accommodated more than 100,000 people who fled from refugees, and can no longer be self-sufficient. Even Xia Pingan, who is guarding the city, cannot have enough food every day. The refugees left behind those children and women who were waiting to be fed.
Under such circumstances, Meng Yuan acted both hard and soft. A few days ago, the Emperor Kublai Khan personally issued an order to shoot arrows into the city. As long as the Diaoyu City surrendered, all the people in the city could live, and the Mongolian army would never kill anyone indiscriminately. .
At this time, it was already 1279, twenty years had passed since Diaoyu City bombarded and killed Mengge Khan, and Diaoyu City had persisted for another 20 years, standing like an immortal monument under the sky and on the thick soil , worthy of the world, worthy of the common people.
Sections of the city wall soaked in countless blood, and huge boulders silently witnessed all of this.
The more than 30 generals behind Xia Ping'an, like him, were all gray-haired and thin-cheeked, and a tragic atmosphere enveloped everyone.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success or failure is turned away. The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times." Xia Pingan did not turn his head, but recited this Linjiang fairy in a low voice. A hero cannot save a completely rotten court that is doomed to perish. Things will rot, and then maggots will grow.
He was able to send dead soldiers to Lin'an to assassinate Jia Sidao in advance, which changed Wang Jian's fate and allowed Wang Jian to continue to garrison Diaoyu City, but the fate of the Southern Song court could not be changed. If Jia Sidao died, there would be more The famous Jia Sidao stood up. Those corrupt officials in the Southern Song court who would only shiver and wag their tails and beg for mercy when facing the enemy on the battlefield were like wolves and tigers when facing the generals who made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. , with a ferocious face, in order to fight for power and profit, he can use all means to fight against dissidents.
Xiang Shibi and Yin Yingfei, who made great contributions in resisting Mongolia, were still persecuted by the female officials in the court, were fired from office, and forced to death.
Cao Shixiong was still demoted and killed.
Gundam, who has made great achievements in EZ, was dissatisfied with the imperial envoys sent by the court to rob military merits, and said a negative word "what can a man with a turban do?"
Liu Zheng was still forced to vote in yuan.
There are too many examples like this
Jia Sidao is dead, but Jia Sidao's method of fighting for power and profit in the imperial court by unscrupulously rejecting dissidents and placing his own people everywhere is still those who were left in the imperial court, and were perfectly inherited by the Lu Group. It seems that Tao is not a person, but a thoroughly rotten bureaucrat. As long as you are not one of them, no matter how great your achievements are in the army, it will be useless, and you may even bring yourself to death. "Those who have made meritorious service are left idle for no reason", "The general of the angry army has never
If there are obvious punishments, the ranks will be restored immediately after being engraved." The conflict between the court and the army generals did not decrease because of Jia Sidao's death, but broke out as usual.
When the Great Song Dynasty was at stake, the rotten bureaucrat who lived in Lin'an City was still suppressing meritorious people by all means, and was still fighting for power everywhere in the army regardless of the life and death of the country, society and people.
The result of this is that the Song army "collapses before a battle, recruits when it is defeated, and looks forward to the beasts to run, and it is not surprising to live."
When the Mongolian army hit Lin'an City, they were the first to open the door and surrender, continuing their rich life.
Such a court will not perish, and heaven will not tolerate it.
Sometimes Xia Ping'an even wanted to lead his troops to conquer Lin'an City and trample that rotten imperial court to pieces.
The ones who destroyed the Great Song Dynasty were not the foreign race, Meng Yuan, but the corrupt officials in Lin'an City! The building of the Great Song Dynasty just collapsed under external pressure due to their parasitic corrosion! This is the truth of history!
Xia Pingan turned around slowly and looked at the sincere and old faces behind him. Many of these faces were once full of vigor and power, and some faces have been here for decades. In the battle of defending the city, it has disappeared and stayed in this fishing city forever.
Xia Pingan's eyes fell on a veteran who was over sixty years old, with a white beard and two arrow wounds on his face, but his figure was still straight. The armor has been worn for decades and has been damaged. There are traces of swords and arrows everywhere on the armor.
Xia Pingan asked softly, "Yu Chen, how many years have we been guarding the Diaoyu City here?"
"General, since the first Mongolian army sieged the city, we have been defending Diaoyu City for 36 years!" the veteran named Yuchen replied harshly.
"Yes, it's been 36 years." Xia Ping'an's voice was full of exclamation and a little heroic. He glanced at the generals in Diaoyu City, "In the past 36 years, in several springs and autumns, you have stood firm in Diaoyu City, and did not let the people who swept the world The Mongolian cavalry took a step into the inner city of Diaoyu City, and we are still here to kill countless Mongolian troops, and even killed Mengge Khan, leaving Da Song for another 20 years. Now Da Song is dead, but our Diaoyu City is still there , the people in Diaoyu City are still here, your contributions are worthy of the court, worthy of the people in Sichuan, worthy of the world, worthy of the common people, thank you for following along all these years, please accept my worship!"
After Xia Pingan finished speaking, he bowed down to the generals behind him and clasped his fists heavily.
"General." More than 30 generals burst into tears in an instant, and all of them knelt down to Xia Ping'an, and the sound of clattering armor resounded on the city wall, "If I have another life, I will still be under the command of the general and follow the general." Let's kill the enemy together and defend the country!"
After kneeling down and bowing to all the generals, Xia Pingan suddenly stood up and raised the hands of all the generals one by one, and everyone cried with their heads in their arms.
"In the past 36 years, Meng Yuan has never captured Diaoyu City with the power of the whole country, and Diaoyu City has never been lost. Today, in order to prevent the people in central Sichuan from being slaughtered and to leave a way out for the 200,000 people in this city, I have already planned to open the gate of the city and let the people in the city surrender to Meng Yuan. Kublai Khan is also a hero, and he will definitely not go back on his word and make the world laugh. After I die, you will follow this order." Xia Pingan said to the generals around him .
"General, you." Zhang Jue and the generals looked at Xia Ping'an in shock. They were a little shocked by this decision, but they were expected.
Xia Pingan choked out the Longquan sword that had killed countless enemies in his hand, and laughed loudly, "There is no general who surrendered in Diaoyu City. If I don't surrender, even if the Mongolian Yuan army can enter Diaoyu City, they will never be able to capture Diaoyu City. The general who killed their Khan will not surrender to them. In this life, thanks to your help, I have fought vigorously in Diaoyu City. I am worthy of the common people. In the next life, I will go to battle with you brothers to kill the enemy!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Ping'an used his hands hard, and the long sword lay across his neck, and a stream of blood gushed out from his neck.
Xia Pingan struck the ground with a long sword, his body was dead, but he still stood tall, standing on top of the castle ~www.mtlnovel.com~ like an immortal sculpture.
"General." Seeing this scene, fishing
All the soldiers on the city wall of Yucheng knelt down and wailed loudly.
"Brothers, the general needs brothers to accompany him on the road. I will go with the general and lead the horse for the general. See you in the next life." The veteran named Yu Chen smiled, wiped his tears, and pulled out the sword from his waist all at once. , Green blood was sprinkled on the city wall.
"Brother Yu, wait for me. Let's go find the general together. When we get to the underworld, we'll fight with these **** sons again. I'm afraid he will get a hammer." Another veteran drew his sword on the city wall.
"And me, how can the general miss me if he wants to wear armor." Another veteran smiled slightly, and drew out the long sword around his waist.
"Old brothers, here I come."
There was a sound of drawing swords on the fortress, just for a moment, when the more than 30 generals who had guarded Diaoyu City for 36 years, when Diaoyu City decided to open the door and surrender in order to save the people in the city, they all followed General Wang Jian. above the city wall.
On the wall of Diaoyu City, at this moment, green blood flew across the city, full of vigor, and the vegetation was saddened by it, which changed the color of the situation.
The news quickly spread to the city, and the 200,000 people in the city knelt and cried in the direction of the city wall, and the crying was loud.
The Mongolian Yuan army guarding outside the city only heard the loud cries in the city today, but they didn't know what happened in the city.
On the second day, the gate of Diaoyu City, which had been closed for thirty-six years in front of the Mongolian Yuan army, finally opened slowly.
The coffins of more than thirty generals defending the city slowly came out of the city.
Diaoyu City, the place where God's whip was broken, has stood firm for thirty-six years and has never been breached! Never!
