Seeing that Kaifeng was difficult to attack, Wanyan Zongwang turned to the plan to lure surrender, and the Song court filled the atmosphere of humiliation and surrender. Li Gang was dismissed by Zhao Huan because he firmly opposed the pursuit of peace with the Jin Dynasty.

But the Song court was cowardly, but the Kaifeng people were very adept. After the early battle to defend the city, they all knew who could truly protect their safety. They spontaneously organized an angry demonstration, forcing Zhao Ji to take back his dismissal.

Li Gang was once again appointed. Seeing that he was unable to break through Kaifeng, Wanyan Zongwang withdrew his troops in February of the first year of Jingkang (1126) after the Song court agreed to ced the three towns in Hebei.

It can be said that the first Kaifeng Guard Battle was when Li Gang's organization, but Zhao Ji lost to the negotiating table.

After the Jin army withdrew, the soul of internal fighting among the Song officials burned again, and the surrendered faction began to exclusion and accusation of Li Gang. Zhao Ji could not let go of the shame that he had been forced to take back Cheng Sheng, and finally worked together to "drive" Li Gang out of the Song court center.

In May 1126, Li Gang became the Hedong and Hebei Xuanfu Envoy.

Even so, Zhao Ji and the surrendered factions were still unhappy and restricted Li Gang in everything, so that he could pacify the apostles with empty reputation and no power to control the army.

In the end, Li Gang was forced to resign in September 1126, and was charged with "specializing in war discussions and losing his teacher and money" and demoted to Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Chongqing).

Song Ting killed his strongest bargaining chip against the Jin people in this way, which was so stupid that it was suffocating.

"At the end of last year, the Jin army went south again. On the eve of going to the Jin camp, the official family thought of using Li Gang, so he appointed him as the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall and led the Kaifeng Prefecture. Unfortunately, Kuizhou was too far away, and it was too late to appoint him. "Li Ruoshui explained.

"Li Gang is currently in Kaifeng?" Chen Xun asked the question, but was crazily weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

Li Gang does have this prestige and is enough to take the lead in organizing those soldiers who support the king.

The organized royal army can indeed fight against the Jin army with the Chen family army. But from a different direction, it is possible to turn around and work together to deal with the Chen family army.

It's all in Li Gang's thoughts.

Chen Xun's understanding of Li Gang can be said to be "heard-telling". He has never dealt with him in person, and he has no idea what kind of person he is. He also does not understand how loyal he is to the Song court, to the Zhao family, and how much he can tolerate the "rebel" Chen family army.

Everything is unknown and it is too difficult to choose.

And what made Chen Xun the most uncomfortable was that if Li Gang really organized all the royal soldiers together, the voice of Kaifeng City would inevitably be transferred to him.

Since ancient times, power has emerged from the gun, Chen Xun would not believe that Li Gang would listen to him after he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him.

"In Kaifeng, he found me a few days ago and chatted with me for a long time. I could see that he had the idea of ​​continuing to do things without the people, so he dared to recommend it to you." Li Ruoshui replied.

"Can you see it first?" Chen Xun asked.

Since you don't understand, then make a decision after seeing each other.

...

Caishikou outside Zhuque Gate, it turned out to be a very huge free market.

Kaifeng was harmed by the Jin soldiers for more than a year, and the market has now become very depressed.

However, in the past two days, there have been great changes. The market is crowded every day. The Cao Gate on the east side of the inner city wall, Liang Gate on the west side and Jinshui Gate on the north side.

After the Chen family army entered Kaifeng City, the situation in the city quickly stabilized. Within a few days, the security environment in the city became better than before the Jin people came.

On April 20, the Chen family army built a high platform outside the four gates of the inner city, and publicly tried the Jin soldiers on the stage every day, with 500 people per day. It is said that each Jin soldier had to take turns to complete the four public trials before he could end. No people accused their guilt in all four public trials before he could survive.

Such a strange thing has never been heard of in Kaifeng City for hundreds of years. For a time, the restoration and reconstruction project of Kaifeng City was greatly affected, and the people all squeezed into the public trial to watch the fun.

Of course, there are also people who identify enemies.

Li Ruoshui had to compress the public trial time from four hours a day to two hours a day.

Another group of ten Jin soldiers were pulled up. The faces of these Jin soldiers were washed clean and their hairstyles were neatly combed according to their national hairstyles, including accessories, hats, clothes, etc., to restore their daily appearance as much as possible.

Ten people stood on the stage, under the scrutiny of the Kaifeng people below the stage. There was sticky blood under their feet, a thick layer that almost flooded the soles of the shoes.

"This person's name is Tang Kuofuxin, and he is twenty-seven years old. According to reports from other Jin people, he had done evil around the Fantasy Tower and did evil in Liujiazhuang in the south of the city...." A military officer stood in his account book and stood next to a young Jin soldier on the far left to read out his previous activity route.

"This person's name..." It was not until the outline of these ten people were read out that the military officer asked the people below: "Is there any miser coming up to identify them?"

The people below have been familiar with this process these two days.

"Me!" A woman stepped forward, regardless of the strange eyes of others, pointed to the third Jin soldier on the left with a red face: "He has been to my house..." Before he could finish speaking, he cried into tears.

There is no need to ask more questions later. There are too many such things these days.

A military officer led her to the back to register and asked him to go to the stage and walked closer to the Jin soldiers to confirm again.

During this period, three of the ten Jin soldiers were identified again, two of whom had killed anyone, and one of them was just a robbery.

After no one identified the enemy, the two Jin soldiers who had killed and were identified in front of him were pushed to kneel on the platform.

Behind the three of them stood the "executioner" holding spears. Two were recruits from the Chen family army, and one was a Kaifeng people. He planned to kill his enemies himself.

"Execution!" The hands of the two new recruits of the Chen family army were a little trembling, but the Kaifeng people were very brave. They stabbed them forward and kept stabbing them for more than a dozen shots. They didn't let go of the spear in their hands until they were exhausted, and knelt on the stage and cried, "Damn it!! Did you see it? I avenge you!!! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

The shrill cry infected many people in the audience, and for a moment, the sobs in the audience were filled with sobs.

In the end, the two new recruits were forced by veterans to complete the task, and drove the man who cried and twitched down from the public trial stage.

The coolies recruited in Kaifeng City came and carried away three Jin soldiers' bodies, and the public trial ended.

"The remaining seven people will continue to be public trials in the east of the city tomorrow. Please inform each other of familiar people, and then the 93rd batch of public trials in the south of the city will be held."

Ten more Jin soldiers were brought up.

...

"I can't find you at your house, I guess you're here." Li Ruoshui walked to a middle-aged man and greeted the crowd.
Chapter completed!
