Chapter 569: Escape to Rouran
With Wei Feng, a large number of Ming troops followed the city, first of all, to declare policies and recruit the Northern Prefecture Army. Liu Yu brought the generals and Wei Feng and others to Junya and issued the last order as the commander of the Northern Prefecture Army. In addition to requiring the Jiankang garrison to maintain order, the defenders of Qingyan and Yangyu counties also required the local surrender to the Ming army.
As expected, many of the generals of the Northern Palace proposed to show off. Wei Feng only symbolically kept him, so he gave a large amount of gold, silver, cloth and silk to allow him to leave the army according to his level.
Starting from the next day, all parts of the Ming army took Liu Yu's handwritten letters to various places to recruit surrender and compile.
In fact, the soldiers of the Northern Army were more or less resentful about being recruited, but they all breathed a sigh of relief from the top. After all, the Ming army was too strong, and they could not see the hope of victory. Surrender may not be a relief.
However, this was extremely torment for Liu Jingxuan. Liu Jingxuan did not go to the battle with Liu Yu. His position in the Northern Prefecture Army had gradually become marginalized. For the sake of Liu Laozhi, he was appointed as the prefect of Jinling and guarding Jinling.
Five days after Wei Feng entered Qiao, on the sixth day of the second month, Liu Jingxuan received news that Liu Yu led the Northern Prefecture Army to surrender!
With a loud "bang!", Liu Jingxuan beat several cases and said angrily: "Damn Liu Jinnu, it really won't be a big deal. After his father was forced to death by the Wei surnamed, he took the opportunity to steal the power of the Northern Palace Army. If he could really lead the Northern Palace Army to establish a great reputation, that would be fine. What would it be if I gave the Northern Palace Army to him? I still have this kind of aura, but he surrendered without fighting and handed over his father's efforts to make people die!"
Sima Xiuzhi, who was also excluded by Liu Yu and was involved with Liu Jingxuan, actually understood that Liu Jingxuan was angry and resentful on the surface, but in fact he was filled with fear. Anyone who fell into Wei Feng's hands, even Sima Xiuzhi, could survive, but Liu Jingxuan could not do it.
Among the five people of Sima Daozi and Liu Laozhi, Gao Yazhi and Liu Jingxuan, Sima Daozi and Liu Jingxuan, the clan was destroyed. Liu Laozhi was captured by Wei Feng and bound to Wang Gongling and killed by Wang Man. Gao Yazhi died in the hands of Murong De, the former master of Southern Yan, because of rebellion. Only Liu Jingxuan still survives in the world. In terms of emotion and reason, Wei Feng will not forgive him!
"Cough~~" Sima Xiuzhi coughed lightly and advised: "Wanshou, what's the point of complaining now? The Ming army is coming soon. Let's think about where to go. Could it be that you are willing to surrender and kill Wang Gongling before you?"
"I hate it so much. I didn't take the life of the adulterer and erotic wife in Shanyin! Alas! I was ruthless for a moment, leaving a big trouble!" Liu Jingxuan roared to the sky unwillingly for a while, and then fell to the ground and said dejectedly: "Even if I enter Guanzhong and join Yao Xing, Yao Xing himself cannot protect himself. The general situation of Wei has been achieved. In the future, the soldiers surrounded Chang'an, and Yao Xing will definitely hand me over in exchange for a chance of pardon!
Although the world is big, it is not forbidden to me, Liu Jingxuan. Do I want to hide my name and be in a panic all day long? No! My father defeated the Qin army and opened the prelude to the Feishui victory. Later, he brought the Northern Army to glory. Although he lost all his achievements, history has been forever made! As the son of Liu Laozhi, how could I hide like a dog?”
Suddenly, Liu Jingxuan stood up and said with a grim smile: "Since there is no way to go, you can just burn your jade and stone. There are some old men in the Northern Palace army who have followed my father, and there are also a few loyal servants in our mansion. It is better to raise your arms and shout, and before the Ming army arrives, you may have a glimmer of life to capture Jingkou and Jiankang!"
Sima Xiuzhi was startled and hurriedly said, "Wanshou, don't be reckless!"
"Why?" Liu Jingxuan glared at Sima Xiuzhi and said sternly: "Why not? Could it be that I am sitting at home waiting for death in vain? Oh~~ I understand that you and the Wei surnamed Wei have no grudges. As long as you are willing to live like a dog, he will definitely not kill you in order to gain a good reputation. Well, it is human nature to be greedy for life and fear death. I understand you, thinking about your friendship. You go, I will not make things difficult for you, leave quickly!"
"Oh!" Sima Xiuzhi sighed heavily and explained: "Wanshou, you misunderstood. The world is the world of my Sima family. I would rather die than give the Wei minister. How could I abandon you? The reason why I blocked you is because even if you captured Jiankang, how sure do you have to defend it when the Ming army arrives?"
Liu Jingxuan suddenly felt unruly and said anxiously: "This is not true, that is not true. Then what do you think should I do?"
Sima Xiuzhi pointed to the north without any haste: "Xiu Zhiyi and Wanshou go to Rouran."
"Roran?" Liu Jingxuan looked stunned.
"Yes! That's Rouran!" Sima Xiuzhi nodded heavily: "Because the Tuoba family is determined to advance to the Central Plains, Rouran took advantage of the momentum to grow. In just 10 or 20 years, they successively captured the Chile tribes, occupying the Orhun River and Tula River (all in Outer Mongolia), and attacked the remaining Xiongnu tribes in the northwest of the grassland, Bayeji and all joined the people! Today, Rouran is famous and famous. The surrounding tribes have surrendered one after another. The west of the territory is Yanqi (in the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, now the area of Yanqi Hui Autonomous County in Xinjiang), the east is Korea, the north is crossing the desert, the vast sea (Lake Baikal), and the south is Dashi, all of which are old Xiongnu tribes, and the power of the Western Regions, and the often meets the courtyards in Dunhuang and Zhangye!
Rouran is in the territory of thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of men wearing armor are held. Today, Rouran is the only one who is not afraid of the Ming army. Only when you and I defect to Rouran can you get a place to live. I heard that Rouran is eager to defeat Khans and seek talents, and will attract all the talents in the world. With the ability of you and me, you will be rewarded with them!"
"Wouldn't you be ashamed of your ancestors when you join the barbarians in the north of the village?" Liu Jingxuan disagreed.
"Longevity!" Sima Xiuyi held Liu Jingxuan and persuaded earnestly: "As far as ancient times, you are the one who serves the barbarians. Not to mention the distance, there were Zhang Binshi Shi Le, Wang Mengshi, Yan Feng, Xu Qian, Tuoba Shiyijian, and you and I have never served in Yao Xing and Murong De. There are countless other northern scholars and civilians serving in the barbarians, let alone the difference between Qiang, Di, and Xianbei and Rouran a hundred years ago? This is just a temporary solution!
Rouran was in a low intelligence, and the Wei people once called Rouran a despicable person. What is Rouran? Those with low intelligence are in a low intelligence. If you and me are in a good way, you will be able to fight between Qiu Douba Khan and the Wei surnamed Wei. Isn’t this a god-given opportunity to take revenge? Maybe, you can also take back all the lost you and me!"
As soon as these words were said, Liu Jingxuan was immediately moved, but he still asked: "Roran is thousands of miles away from the north of the border, and is separated by the Ming Kingdom. How can you and I get through it?"
Sima Xiuzhi said confidently: "The land route is not accessible, so we can take the sea route and take a boat out of the river to sneak towards Youyan. Youyan is vast and sparsely populated. Be careful, and you will not be discovered. As long as you pass Yanshan and head north, you can reach the Rouran territory."
"Okay!" Liu Jingxuan said without hesitation: "Let's prepare immediately and leave tonight, and strive to leave from Jingkou early tomorrow morning!"
"In the evening, Xiuzhi will come to find you again!" Sima Xiuzhi hurriedly bowed and stepped out of the hall.
......
In the evening of that day, Liu Jingxuan and Sima Xiuzhi brought hundreds of servants, wives, concubines, and clan members, and left the city to travel towards Jingkou. The next morning, he took a boat downstream from Jingkou. On the same day, Wei Feng also led his troops to leave Qiao and travel to Jiankang. He also sent a message that except for the Jingzhou Governor's headquarters, all the officials of Jiangling moved to Jiankang, including his wife and children.
Because the construction of Beijing was not achieved overnight, and the outer walls were not built yet, let alone the palaces and halls in the city, it will take a few more years to enter initially, so the capital city has to be temporarily settled in Jiankang. In fact, Ji is still there, but Ji is dilapidated and narrow, and it is a bit shabby as a temporary capital. In addition, Zhongshan is suitable for temporary use, but it is only moved to Zhongshan, which will have to be moved again in the future. The migration of the capital city is not a joke and cannot be changed.
From Qiao to Jiankang for about 900 miles, Wei Feng walked south by land and came to Jiankang again after half a month.
This time, Wei Feng's arrival triggered a welcome to the whole city. Among them, Wei Feng's cheap in-laws were the most excited. They each married Wang Man's sister, sister-in-law, and even aunt, which was equivalent to marrying Wei Feng. Now Wei Feng is about to take up the throne and has to welcome him warmly!
Jiankang's benefactor also sincerely welcomed Wei Feng. Under the rule of the Northern Prefecture Army, although they were generally still living and working in peace, they were not as good as the Ming Dynasty. Since then, they have transformed into Ming people and can also enjoy various preferential policies for Ming people. As for other officials, scholars and common people, they all have different thoughts, but the atmosphere is not affected and extremely warm.
Wei Feng smiled and kept waving. It took a lot of effort to escape from the enthusiasm of Jiankang Shishu and headed straight towards the palace city.
Wei Feng came to Jiankang this time, which clearly showed that he was the one who captured the Jin Dynasty and did not go through the abdication procedure, so there was no need to stay in other places. That night, he would move in the palace and have a banquet for the various officials, powerful people and representatives of Jiankang scholars and common people in the Tai Chi Hall!
The palace city is also known as Jiankang Palace. It is 20 miles and 19 steps around the city. It is Taiwan Province in the south and the north, which is within the three-story palace walls. There are not many yellow-gate palace maids in the palace, with about a hundred people. This is incomparable to all dynasties and even some small courts that separatist regimes. It also reflects the weakness of the Jin Dynasty from the side.
Since the imperial guards were controlled by Liu Yu, with the full surrender of the Northern Prefecture Army, the imperial guards naturally surrendered Wei Feng. Before Wei Feng arrived, Sima Dewen was taken into custody separately.
After Wei Feng took a brief walk in the palace, he stepped into the backyard of Sima Dewen. When he saw Wei Feng coming in, Sima Dewen immediately glared and roared: "You are indeed here. You have taken my spiritual life, you have taken my spiritual life, you have taken my Wenli, and you have taken my country. Do you want to take my life? Come, come!"
Wei Feng said lightly: "Sima Dewen, I will not take your life. Now I will abolish you as King Fanyang. I will move all the spirit masters of your Sima family to Ji soon." (To be continued...)
