Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

I don't know if this news is true or false.

It wouldn't be good to continue fleeing with the Jurchens.

That Liu Yu is so shameless!

Zhang Bangchang seems to have difficulty making choices.

He was agonizing over his decision in the study.

Instead of welcoming the Ming army into the city,

They didn't take advantage of the chaos to slip away.

Since Liu Yu launched his attack on Huang Qianshan,

A key official in a puppet court

A large portion of them were Liu Yu's confidants.

These guys packed up their valuables.

The whole family fled with Liu Yu.

Of the remaining key officials in the central government,

Zhang Bangchang held the highest official position.

Secondly, there was Dong Ti, the Minister of Rites.

Zhang Bangchang did not appear.

Dong Ti seized the opportunity to step forward.

Dong Ti sent people to contact officials everywhere.

He summoned all the officials to his home and said:

"There are two large fires inside the city,"

"I sent people to put it there,"

"I have already submitted to the Ming Dynasty."

"Officials below the sixth rank,"

"Immediately lead men into the city to fight the fire."

"Officials of the sixth rank or above,"

"Follow me to welcome the heavenly army!"

Chapter 286 Supporting a False Emperor

Upon learning of the major defeat of the Jin army,

The Zhen Ding Prefecture is gone too.

The magistrate of Luancheng County contacted the Han troops defending the city.

They launched a surprise attack on the Jin troops inside the city.

More than three thousand Han soldiers from Hebei

Attack two hundred Jin soldiers.

As a result, they were defeated and forced to flee.

Even the magistrate of Luancheng County who planned the uprising,

They all fled to Zhao Prefecture with the routed soldiers.

The family members who remained in the city were all slaughtered by the Jin soldiers.

Those Jin soldiers then robbed wealthy households in Luancheng.

They obtained some money and food.

Heading northwest to Huolu County,

They attempted to join forces with the Jin troops in Jingxing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zong Ze led his troops to recapture Luancheng.

He then went to Zhen Ding Prefecture to take charge of the overall situation.

Zhao Yuan, however, was mobilizing troops in Gaocheng.

Regardless of where the main force of the Jin army fled to, he did not care.

They focused their advance on key points along the western Hebei route.

The main force of the Ming army departed from Gaocheng.

Head north and take Dingzhou directly.

Guan Sheng, Yue Fei, and others first garrisoned Zhengding.

They joined up with the follow-up troops brought by Zong Ze.

Next, head west and first take Pingshan County.

They blocked the Jin troops at Jingxing and Chengtianzhai.

Outside the city of Zhen Ding Prefecture.

As the emperor arrived with his personal guards...

Many officials of the puppet dynasty,

They went out of the city to greet them, led by Zong Ze.

Zong Ze simply bowed.

A large group of people knelt behind him.

"Your humble servant Dong Ti pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

Dong Ti knelt down behind and to the side of Zong Ze.

He glanced up at the Liangshan emperor.

He immediately bowed his head and knelt down to obey orders.

The great battle has been won,

Zhao Yuan ignored these guys.

Smiling, she held Zong Ze's hand and said:

"Mr. Zong, you've worked hard."

"I dare not,"

Zong Ze was quite excited.

"Fortunately, with Your Majesty's help, the stench of savagery in Hebei can be eradicated."

Zhao Yuan asked, "Did the royal family of the pseudo-dynasty escape?"

"The false prime minister Liu Yu has troops under his command,"

"He fled with the empress dowager, emperor, and officials of the puppet dynasty."

"The treacherous Huang Qianshan and Zhang Bangchang,"

"And a group of former Song imperial family members,"

"None of them managed to escape."

"He has been captured by the Ming soldiers."

Zong Ze turned his head and shouted,

"Bring it up!"

A group of prisoners,

They were dragged over, bound hand and foot.

Zhao Yuan glanced at it.

No familiar faces were found:

Where is Huang Qianshan?

Zong Ze explained, "Huang Qianshan was attacked by Liu Yu."

"Beating him half to death in prison,"

"He is still seriously injured and bedridden."

Zhao Yuan said, "This fellow helped the Jurchens install a false emperor."

"Since he's already seriously injured,"

“I will no longer torment him,”

"Drag him outside Zhen Ding City and give him a quick death."

"The crime is treason."

"Yes!"

Zong Ze accepted the order.

Treason, also known as treason, is a crime committed against one's country.

It is one of the ten heinous crimes.

When Zhang Bangchang heard the word "treason,"

So scared that my whole body went limp.

Kneeling on the ground, wailing and shouting:

"Your Majesty, spare me! Spare me..."

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhang Bangchang and the other members of the imperial clan:

"Male individuals aged 15 and above,"

"Deposit funds for mining in Cizhou,"

"Keep digging until you die."

"Women can get a divorce,"

"She remarried, taking her child with her."

With this remark,

Several people fainted immediately from fright.

Zhao Yuan's face showed anger.

To those members of the royal family:

"The imperial family members from Songcheng (Shangqiu),"

Even if they fled to Hangzhou to seek refuge with the tyrannical emperor,

"At most, I'll confiscate their property,"

"They were also allocated wasteland to cultivate."

"You members of the Luoyang imperial family,"

"They actually betrayed us and supported the Jurchens to establish a false emperor!"

"Do you still remember what the distinction between Chinese and barbarians is?"

"Your Highness, please spare your life!"

Many members of the royal family wept and wailed.

Zhao Yuan said, "Lock them all up."
