Chapter 755 Kneeling
Yang Xingzhou put Yue Fei under house arrest, Yan Kuangtui and his son were all imprisoned and had their pipa bones pierced. Even Xiao Qiushui ended up like this, which shocked the world.
Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Jin Kingdom's palace was heavily guarded, but they didn't expect it to be so strict. Even Kuangtu Yan and his son, Xiao Qiushui and others were captured by mistake.
When the news spread, many martial arts masters gave up their thoughts on rescuing Yue Fei.
Now in the martial arts world, Zhu Xiawu was beaten to death by Kuang Yan. King Zhu Dayian's subordinates fled in all directions. Most of them defected to the Kingdom of Jin and became lackeys of the Jin Kingdom. However, the Power Gang also suffered heavy losses and many masters died.
Compared with previous years, the situation in the martial arts world has undergone tremendous changes. Among the only remaining masters in the world, Xiao Qiushui is the leader of the Shenzhou sect, Li Chenzhou and Yan Kuangtu are the leaders of the power gang, and Zhuge Zhengwo is the representative figure of the Song Dynasty court.
Along with Wei Qingqingqing and others, the bosses of the martial arts sects are still Shaolin and Wudang.
In addition to these forces, there are also the hero Liang Dou and the peerless madman Yang Xingzhou who appeared and then disappeared!
The origin of Yang Xingzhou is a mystery, and his disappearance is also inexplicable.
He dominated the world, and his art surpassed the martial arts. After causing a big scene in the Song Dynasty, he went to the Jin Dynasty to cause trouble, caused a riot in Kaifeng City, blackmailed the Huining Mansion, kidnapped Yue Fei and Wu Shu, blackmailed the Jin Dynasty Emperor Wan Yan and assassinated him, and finally
After collecting the medicinal materials, they disappeared immediately. For several years, there was no trace at all.
But even after he disappeared, people in the world still had a sense of awe. It was only after he disappeared that these martial arts figures had the courage to re-evaluate the world's masters.
The top three masters in the world today are Yan Kuangtu and his son and Xiao Qiushui.
However, all three of them fell into the Jin Kingdom's palace, which shows how terrifying the Jin Kingdom's masters were. In addition, Yue Fei's own handwritten notice prevented everyone from rescuing him, which also gave some people an excuse to give up rescuing Yue Fei.
Therefore, there were fewer and fewer experts who dared to sneak into the palace. After a while, almost no one thought of rescuing Yue Fei anymore.
Just when they were trying to intimidate the martial arts masters from the Central Plains, the Kingdom of Jin had already begun to send troops to the Kingdom of Song. After receiving the order, the army that had already been assembled at the border rushed forward like lightning, advancing two hundred miles in just one day.
Song and Jin officially started war.
Although there were incompetent and cowardly people among the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, there were also people who were loyal to the emperor and served the country. Many heroes died in several fierce battles, and there were many more lamentable things, but they did not stop the progress of the Jin Kingdom at all.
In half a month, they had already reached Lin'an City.
Zhao Jun and his ministers were so frightened that they did not dare to stay in Lin'an for a long time, so they abandoned the city and went straight to the south.
The Jin army pursued them closely, chasing the Zhao family's monarchs and ministers to the coast. Seeing that tens of thousands of his subjects were about to jump into the sea with Zhao Zhen and die together, Yang Xingzhou stopped the army and temporarily let the escaped monarchs and ministers go.
In the history of Yang Xingzhou's original world, the Battle of Yashan was extremely brutal, and many people died. Now that the Zhao family was forced to do this, Yang Xingzhou didn't want more people to die in this, so he stopped the army and let it go
The Zhao family fled overseas.
His move caused many ministers in the court to object, but at this time, Yang Xingzhou's prestige had reached its peak, and these ministers only lightly opposed it and did not dare to say more.
After less than a year of fighting like this, the entire Southern Dynasty was finally destroyed. Yang Xingzhou changed the name of the country to "China", granted amnesty to the world, deterred small groups of rebels everywhere, and ordered the people of the Jin Kingdom to change their hairstyles and clothes, but they were also different from those of the Song Dynasty.
.
It turned out that Yang Xingzhou personally designed several sets of clothes, which were extremely simple and comfortable, and were roughly the same as those worn by later generations. As for hairstyles, the reform started with the army. Soldiers all shaved their heads to make it easier to bandage.
The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom did not pay much attention to their hair and did not care much about their clothing, so it was not difficult to promote it. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, changing clothes and hairstyles became a big problem and encountered great resistance.
Yang Xingzhou, an ordinary person, was too lazy to care, but as long as he was an active soldier, his hair style and clothes must be uniformly managed. For this reason, all the soldiers in the army were from the Jin Kingdom, while men from the original Song Kingdom were ashamed to serve as soldiers.
The culture of the Central Plains has always emphasized that "the body, hair and skin are received by the parents" and do not dare to damage them easily. When Yang Xingzhou asked them to change their hairstyle, they would naturally feel repulsed.
However, traditional ideas cannot be used as food. After Yang Xingzhou conquered the Southern Dynasty, he began to implement the policy of allocating land. If a family had a child serving as a soldier, he would be given an extra two acres of land. If the soldier was disobedient, one acre would be deducted.
For the farming people, land is their life. It is a great joy for them to wait for the property of idle landlords and old wealth to be confiscated and the land to be equalized. Everyone likes it.
Compared with the land, which is the lifeblood, hair style is no longer important. In just two or three years, most young people have flat hair and no longer reject haircuts.
The only things Yang Xingzhou forcibly changed were the military hairstyles and clothing. As for the clothing of ordinary people, he didn't bother to ask. They could wear whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't cause trouble.
Since ancient times, the people have been looking forward to equalizing the land and freeing food. Almost all the rebel armies of the past generations have carried this banner. However, Yang Xingzhou, who quietly used his status as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to accomplish something that has never been accomplished by previous rulers,
It really exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, it was only because of his status as a foreigner that he could implement such a policy with extremely brutal methods, which made the scholars and powerful people scold him, but they did not dare to really oppose it with all their strength.
Yang Xingzhou would kill anyone who objected without mercy. His way of doing things was completely different from that of previous emperors. He governed the country according to the law. Anyone who dared to violate the criminal law would act in accordance with the law. No matter whether the offender was a relative of the emperor or a poor citizen, he would be treated equally.
.
Although he offended the scholars, he won the hearts of the people and made them support him. They no longer rejected him as a foreigner. In addition, he promoted education and broadened the people's wisdom. In just ten years, the country was prosperous and the people were strong, and the people were healthy.
situation.
Seeing that the time was up, Yang Xingzhou released Yue Fei, Xiao Qiushui and others who had been imprisoned for ten years. He said to Yue Fei, who had practiced Qi training and became more powerful: "Brother Yue, if you are willing to fight on the battlefield, I can give it to you."
The post of Generalissimo of the Eastern Conquest."
Then he said to Yan Kuangtui and his son: "It's not interesting for you to stay in the Central Plains. Brother Li is not a person who is inferior to others. How about this, I select a group of people and you go to the West to make a living?"
Then he said to Xiao Qiushui: "I will keep all the sworn people in China for you. If you dare to cause trouble in the Central Plains again, you are a gangster. I will definitely destroy you. Why don't you go to Fusang and other places in Japan to help me expand my territory?"
, so that my army can enter the East China Sea, control the shipping ports, and conquer the world."
Everyone knew that he was Yang Xingzhou, not Wanyan Heci. When they looked at each other, they felt a little shaken.
If you don't agree, it seems that there is only a dead end. If you agree, it will also mean leaving your hometown, and the ending will not be good.
Xiao Qiushui said: "As long as Marshal Yue is safe and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, what will happen if we die in service?"
Yue Fei also said: "Brother Yang, you said that you want farmers to have land and residents to have houses, but are you able to do it?"
Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "If you want to know, just go out and take a look and you will know."
Then he pulled out the iron chains from the pipa bones of several people and said: "Now that you are free, you can decide for yourself what to do."
Yue Fei and others were hesitant, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the palace.
At this time, Yang Xingzhou had moved the capital to Damingfu, renamed it Beijing City, rebuilt the Forbidden City, and rebuilt the Imperial City.
Yang Xingzhou personally designed the palace drawings and supervised the construction of the palace. It took ten years to complete the construction. The scale was far greater than that of any previous imperial city.
When Yue Fei and others walked out of the palace, even though they were full of thoughts, they couldn't help but be extremely shocked by the palace.
"Just looking at how gorgeous the palace is, Emperor Yang Xingzhou is not a simple king. He is so greedy for enjoyment, and the people are the ones who suffer!"
After Yue Fei walked out of the palace, he looked worried: "Such kings may not be a blessing to the people!"
Although Xiao Qiushui, Li Chenzhou and others are from the Jianghu community, they also share the righteousness of their family and country. At this time, they feel very heavy and do not believe how well Yang Xingzhou can govern the country.
A month later, several people came to Beijing again and asked to see Yang Xingzhou.
After meeting Yang Xingzhou again, the four of them knelt down to Yang Xingzhou for the first time and recognized him as the emperor.
The four of them are first-rate hard-core people who would rather die than kneel down. They have knelt on their knees to heaven and to their parents all their lives. Apart from that, they have never knelt down to anyone else.
When they knelt down to Yang Xingzhou this time, they really admired Yang Xingzhou to the extreme, thinking that Yang Xingzhou had done something they wanted to do but couldn't do, or even thought about.
That is to say, the four of them knelt down and thus began the prelude to conquering the world.
