Chapter 34 The Fall of the Northern Song Dynasty (End)

Seeing that the people of Daxia would not let Confucianism become the official school of Daxia, the people from the Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty did not bother them much. They didn’t think that this could be done, but they just came to give it a try. What if there was a surprise, just like Mr. Dong went to see a certain Wu Emperor, what if the people of Daxia were fooled?

They actually wanted Daxia to accept their other condition, that is, after Daxia captured the Song Dynasty, they allowed them to maintain their original status in the territory of the original Song Dynasty.

The Confucians of the Northern Song Dynasty really dared to mention it!

Let them maintain their original status in the territory of the original Song Dynasty, what is the difference between it and the current situation in the Northern Song Dynasty?

People from the Confucians in the Northern Song Dynasty mentioned the difference: First, there will be no Song Dynasty in the future, and they will all be the territory of Daxia; second, the Zhao family is no longer the royal family, and will not be the monarch they serve, and they will mainly serve the people sent by Daxia.

It sounds a bit interesting and creative. This is creating "one country, two thoughts" (the same belongs to the same country, but has two national-level cultural ideas)!

The envoy sent by Confucians in the Northern Song Dynasty even made it clear that as long as Daxia could agree to this condition, they could immediately bow down and hand over the Northern Song Dynasty to the front.

Daxia would not agree with this condition. The Confucianism in this world has grown crooked and must be dealt with. How could it be possible for the crooked Confucianism to continue to grow? Or would it still want to grow on the territory of Daxia.

These Confucian envoys could only return without success!

After confirming that Daxia would not make changes for Confucianism, the Confucian scholars' resistance to Daxia became stronger, and they tried their best to spread rumors and smear Daxia, inciting the people to resist Daxia, forming more armies, and establishing more fortifications...

This made the entire Northern Song Dynasty resist Xia, but this could not really stop Daxia!

More than six months later, the battle to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty began. Six armies rushed south in a mighty manner, faster than when the Jin soldiers marched south to attack the Song Dynasty. The Northern Song court had no idea that Daxia had sent troops.

The fortifications set up in the north of the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed like a devastating fire from the Daxia army, and then the Daxia army crossed the wreckage of the fortifications and rushed south.

We already knew that the Daxia marching was rapid and the attack was sudden. We didn’t know that the Daxia people would come here one day. The Northern Song Dynasty made a lot of arrangements to prevent it, but it didn’t work much. Their way of transmitting information was too backward and the army mobilized too slowly.

What's more, more than six months have passed, and the Northern Song army has relaxed. After all, it is impossible to maintain such a high alert state.

When the Daxia troops were at the city, the Northern Song army had not even assembled, and the city was broken by the Daxia. After the Daxia army captured a city, the car drove to the next city without stopping. One city and one city were captured by the Daxia army. The Northern Song Dynasty had no power to fight back. The gap between the two sides was too big in terms of military equipment, information and intelligence, and the quality of armed personnel.

After being broken into the city by the Daxia army, many Northern Song officials from Confucianism chose to commit suicide. Some of them were loyal to the Daxia people, while others knew that the Daxia people would unify the world and would lose their place to use their skills in the future. They were unwilling to be ordinary civilians, so they committed suicide, which would also make their loyal reputation successful.

This time the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Daxia military adopted the arrangement used in "Nine Songs of Heaven", which was divided into the army, and they went straight to Lin'an, the political center of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Daxia army responsible for attacking Lin'an did not have to manage other cities on the road, but had only one goal to destroy the ruling center of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The army was moving too fast. When they arrived in Lin'an, no one of the Northern Song emperors and ministers in Lin'an City noticed it. When they heard the sound of cannons and saw the flames of the shells exploded, the Northern Song emperors and ministers realized that the people of Daxia were coming!

Zhao Huan was panicked and quickly summoned a group of Northern Song ministers to the palace to discuss countermeasures, but it was too late, and what effective countermeasures could they discuss?

Except for a few ministers, most of the Northern Song ministers knew that the situation was difficult to recover and it might be difficult to come back alive, but they still went to the palace.

Why are they going here?

It is not about protecting the country!

I just wanted to keep them as Confucian scholars and ministers and the last decent as ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Born with the Song Dynasty and died with the Song Dynasty.

Before all the ministers entered the palace, the Daxia army had already attacked Lin'an City and headed towards the palace.

The palace was guarded by the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards, but it was not an opponent of the Daxia army. With the guns and cannons cleared, the Daxia army surrounded the Northern Song Dynasty palace in Lin'an and attacked it.

In addition to the emperor who was discussing the matter and the Northern Song ministers were still stable, the harems and other places were already in chaos. Eunuchs and palace maids took the opportunity to cause trouble, the concubines and princesses were frivolous, and the princes were nervous and uneasy. They all knew what fate would be waiting for them next. They had heard of the tragic consequences of the concubines and princes after the fall of the country.

After the Daxia army invaded the palace, it did not kill randomly, but instead dealt with some eunuchs and palace maids who took the opportunity to cause trouble.

In Zichen Hall, Zhao Huan and a group of Northern Song ministers were discussing here. When they heard the sound of shouts of killing, guns and screams from outside, they didn't know that it was Daxia people who rushed into the palace.

Zhao Huan was so scared that his face was pale, but many of the Northern Song ministers who came here were all fearless.

Zhao Huan trembled, looked at the ministers in the hall and said tremblingly: "Which Qing family can go to talk to Daxia? Just say, just say... I am willing to pay any price, as long as Daxia soldiers are willing to retreat."

Seeing that Zhao Huan was frightened, Sun Fu couldn't help but sigh and said, "How can the butler be the Emperor of the Song Dynasty do such a way? Don't let the people of Daxia underestimate it!"

Zhao Huan glanced at Sun Fu and said to himself: "I am the emperor. The people of Daxia will kill me, not you, of course you can say that."

He continued to tremble and asked, "Who is willing to go on my behalf? I ask you all!"

Zhao Huan said, standing up from the dragon throne, and actually bowing to the Northern Song ministers in the hall, begging them to discuss peace.

He Li had no choice but to say, "It's too late for the official to discuss peace now. As I expected, all parts of the Song Dynasty should be invaded by the people of Daxia. The people of Daxia want to destroy us, so how could they discuss peace with us?"

After hearing this, Zhao Huan was so anxious that he said in front of the dragon throne: "What should I do? What should I do!"

At this time, there was movement outside, and a Daxia army appeared and marched towards Zichen Hall quickly.

When Zhao Huan saw the Daxia army appear outside the hall, his face became even more anxious. He wanted to shout to close the hall gate, but he did not shout it out in the end.

The ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty in the hall began to close their eyes and rest as if they wanted to maintain a good spirit and wait for the arrival of the Daxia army.

The one who led the Daxia army was Gai Nie. He only brought seven people into Zichen Hall. After the Zichen Hall, he said to Zhao Huan and a group of Northern Song ministers: "I haven't seen you for a long time, can you all be safe?"

He Li opened her eyes, looked at Gai Nie, and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Gai. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see Mr. Gai today."

Gai Nie said: "Ga is here to hope that you can surrender and give up resistance. My Daxia is a civilized country and will ensure your personal safety. After the war is over, I will give you a reasonable place."

"Civilized country? I think you are a country of beasts and a country of demons! How can the country of civilization be arbitrarily voluntarily invade other countries? How can it humiliate a country that is weaker than it? Such a shameless country is worthy of being called "Civilized country"?" An official of the Northern Song Dynasty also took his leave and cursed directly.

Gai Nie glanced at the official and said, "We attacked all your country not to kill you, but to the people of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, the Northern Song Dynasty official cursed again: "Shameless words, destroying cities and destroying other countries, are they for the people of this country? What a shameless person!"

Gai Nie said: "This is the difference between you and our philosophy. Moreover, this matter must be seen from the future and from the things you do in the future."

"Hahaha, this is the most shameless saying that Liao has ever heard in his life! The official family, Shu Fengming can no longer be loyal to the official family! The big Xia dog thief, Liao will watch you underground, and Liao will go!"

After saying this, the Northern Song Dynasty official rushed towards a large pillar in the hall and hit it head-on.

The Daxia personnel entering the hall were fully capable of preventing the Northern Song minister from committing suicide, but they did not stop him, allowing the minister to commit suicide by hitting the pillar.

After this minister, some of them committed suicide, some hit pillars, some took out a knife or dagger from their arms, and some took poison on their bodies.

These people were ready when they came.

Sun Fu took off his hat, placed it respectfully on the ground, then knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan asked, "Sun Qing, what are you doing?"

Sun Fu said: "Officials, I can't serve you anymore. I am grateful to the officials for trusting me and entrusting me with great responsibilities. However, the Song Dynasty has achieved great responsibility today. I am asking for death!"

After saying this, Sun Fu didn't care whether Zhao Huan agreed or not. He knelt on the ground and took out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest.

Sun Fuzhi's death began. When the Northern Song ministers in Zichen Hall chose to commit suicide, they would kowtow to Zhao Huan first, say a paragraph, comment on their merits and demerits, and then commit suicide calmly.

He Li looked at the bodies of his colleagues all over the place, looked at Gai Nie, and said, "Mr. Gai, how will your country treat the officials and my people of the Song Dynasty?"

Gai Nie knew that this was his dying question and replied: "Don't worry, my grandson, I will not abuse Your Majesty, and the people of the Song Dynasty will treat my people equally."

"That's good!"

He Li nodded to Gai Nie, looked at Zhao Huan again, took off his official hat, put it on the ground, then knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Zhao Huan respectfully.

Zhao Huan said sadly: "He Qing, do you even want to abandon me?"

He Li said: "The government is about to perish, but I do not want to be a minister of the country that has been destroyed. This is my last little wish. The government is very happy to take care of it, so I will leave!"

Blood flowed out of He Li's mouth. He had already put a poison sac in his mouth, and now he bit it, and the poison in the poison sac entered his body from his mouth.

Seeing the suicide of the Northern Song ministers, all the people in the Daxia were silent at this moment. The Northern Song Dynasty was originally very cowardly in their eyes, but now in this scene, they still have the last backbone...
