…

The Song and Jin Dynasty negotiated peace talks and signed perhaps the most unequal treaty in history.

The Song Dynasty recognized Yan Yun as the Jin Kingdom and ceded the entire Hebei and Hedong to the Great Jin Kingdom. Later, the two countries were bounded by the Yellow River.

The golden man took the opportunity to open his mouth and extorted war compensation: 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 10 million pieces of silk, and 1,500 girls.

And this is not the case that the Jin people extorted five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, ten thousand taels of cattle, horse and mule each, one thousand camels, one million pieces of variegated satin, and one million pieces of silk. The Song Dynasty had to pay the war compensation that had not been paid last time before it could pay the war compensation again.

Let’s not talk about cede the land for now.

The huge amount of war compensation is something that cannot be obtained by the Song Dynasty, let alone just a city of Bianliang?

In order to satisfy the blackmail of the Jin people.

Zhao Huan ordered the opening of the inner warehouse and let the Jin people ask for it to replenish the compensation.

The so-called internal storage warehouse is the Fengchun Library set up by the Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty during the reign of Zhao Kuangyin.

When Zhao Kuangyin was alive, he was resentful of the land of Yanyun in the Khitan area, but he was unable to recover it. So he placed the annual surplus money in the Fengchun warehouse to store it, intending to use this money to redeem the land of Yanyun when the goods are abundant, or use this money to reward the soldiers to recover the land of Yanyun.

Zhao Kuangyin left an edict for this: future generations shall not use this money.

Later, the Fengchun Library gradually evolved into an internal library.

Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty wrote an imperial poem about the inner warehouse, saying:

The five seasons lost their maps, and they were sent to Kong Chi. The art ancestors built a country, and they were based on recruiting scholars. The mother was generous and wanted to follow the legacy. If I could not defeat this, how could I achieve success? Dragons and tigers prospered and prosperous, mountains and rivers conquered the capital. Turtle fields extended their fortunes, and phoenix virtue showed their talismans. Taoism flourished Yao and consulted the Yue, and the great achievements of Yu met. Nine levels of land held the elephant, and thousands of miles of land settled the world.

This poem has 72 words in total, each of which is the name of Yiku.

In this way, there are seventy-two warehouses.

And every warehouse is full of brimming.

In the seventy-two warehouses are gold, silver, brocade and various treasures accumulated by the Song Dynasty for 167 years.

Zhao Huan arranged for Wu Kai and Mo Chu to lead Jin Shi Xiao Qing and others to enter the warehouse for verification.

Xiao Qing started to view the library in order from the "Five Seasons Lost Pictures".

After reading "The Legend of the Cong Kong Chi", Xiao Qing decided to stop checking because there were too many treasures in the warehouse, so he didn't dare to read them any more.

Xiao Qing immediately rode back and reported to Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan then sent someone again to seal all the internal warehouses and seal them.

After that, Zhao Huan sent Kaifeng Prefecture to organize hundreds of thousands of civilians to help the Jin people transport supplies every day.

Han Qing, who saw this process with his own eyes, looked as numb as others on the surface, and almost bit his teeth in secret!

The Jin people also proposed to hand over to more than 20 families including Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Zhang Xiaochun, Cai Jing, Li Siben, as well as Li Gang, Wu Min, Xu Churen, Chen Go, Liu Li, Zhe Kejiu, Zhe Keqiu and others to them.

Zhao Huan also nodded and agreed, and ordered Kaifeng Prefecture to be responsible for the specific handling.

After Wang Shiyong received Zhao Huan's order, he felt it was difficult to deal with it. He told Xiao Qing to truthfully tell him: "Some people have been demoted to the south, and some people are no longer in the capital, so it is difficult to find all of them."

Xiao Qing said: "Those who are in Bianliang City will be sent to our camp one after another."

Wang Shiyong then sent someone to detain Cai Jing and other families in Beijing first. No matter their age, they were tied up with ropes and placed them in the corridors of the government offices, and then sent them to Jinchang in batches.

Some people stayed in the corridor for a day or two, without sending them away, without giving them food, and without arranging accommodation.

These people are hungry and cold, and they cry and cry out loud, and they keep crying day and night.

Han Qing, who went to Kaifeng Prefecture to do business, couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly stuffed them some cook cakes that his subordinates carried with him. They just ate them with snow water to fill their hunger and cold and live.

At the same time, Chen Guoting, the Minister of the Secretariat, led 20 civil and military officials each as cedes-died envoys to hurried out to the city to report to the Jin people.

However, the Jin people seemed to be not ready to accept the land, and Wanyan Zonghan ordered them to stay in the army and wait first.

The Jin people soon began to force Zhao Huan to pay gold and silver again.

When the Jin people went south for the first time, the gold and silver from the Song Dynasty court had been plundered to the Jin people by Zhao Huan.

Now, if the Jin people want it again, the Song Dynasty court will definitely not be able to take it out.

Zhao Huan ordered the fundraising, from royal relatives to the people, to hand over all their gold, silver and wealth to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhao Huan also issued a strict order: If anyone dares to hide and bury, he will allow everyone to report it, and will take out three-tenths of the property as a reward, and first use official money (copper and iron coins or money) to manage the prisoner according to military law, and confiscate the family and ask about the family. If he knows that the information does not report it, he will also be the same as the prisoner.

According to the imperial edict, Wang Shiyong, the Minister of Personnel, and Xu Bingzhe, the Prime Minister of Kaifeng, plundered Bianliang City three feet, which can be said to be no gold or silver.

Of course, it is not that no one resists donation.

Many royal relatives also want to donate less because of their identities.

Zheng Shen, the father of the current Queen Mother Zheng, is one of them.

Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe supervised Zheng Shen many times and asked him to pay gold, silver and wealth immediately.

But Zheng Shen was unwilling to donate all the gold, silver and wealth he had finally accumulated, intending to hide a part of it.

It turned out to be reported.

When Zhao Huan learned about the situation, he was furious and immediately issued an edict to conceal gold, silver and wealth, and to pursue and destroy all the official positions of Empress Dowager Zheng’s father and ancestor.

Because of this matter, countless officials were removed from their official positions, and many officials were even sent to prison.

Most of the people who transported silk from outside the city were from the Great Song army, namely the Fourth Army and the Baojia army, and Han Qing's men were also arranged to transport silk.

Han Qing and the envoys of the three yamen (i.e., the Palace Front Office, the Guards’ Personal Army Cavalry and the Commander of the Infantry and Military Office) supervised each army in different places.

What made Han Qing sorrow that all commanders were full of enthusiasm and rushed to express their merits to the Jin people, complained to the Jin people, obtained approval documents from the Jin people, and received food money from the Jin people. Some commanders even boasted proudly: "Only the watch satin I sent, the gold people will be collected and will not be returned. Who else has such a face?"

The Jin people asked for ten million pieces of silk, and Zhao Huan issued an order to give all the silk in Yuanfeng and Daguankuo to the Jin people, and all the tribute and Zhejiang silk and southern silk that had been accumulated over the years of Hebei.

Some officials in charge were very angry about this, but they did not dare to resist publicly and could only make some small moves in secret.

For example, when transporting silk, inferior products are used as good ones, and even some inferior products are mixed in, wanting to fool the golden man.

But the Jin people were very smart and not so easy to fool. They checked the quality of each batch of silk carefully. Once they found that they were unqualified, they would splash ink as marks and immediately demanded a return and exchange. They did too much, and the Jin people even threatened to massacre the city.

In this way, it seems that the Jin people could take over the silk that the Song Dynasty gave to them was also a skill.

But as a soldier and as a senior military commander, the country has fallen to this point and is completely shameless. No matter how Han Qing looks at it, he thinks it is a great sadness!

So, after only once, Han Qing found Mei Zhili and said to him: "Sir, Mo Jiang doesn't want to do this task of carrying satin to the Jin people anymore. Mo Jiang doesn't want to erase the fighting spirit of Mo Jiang and Mo Jiang's brothers."

Through this period of contact, Mei Zhili became more and more optimistic about Han Qing and knew that Han Qing was not a scammer. Therefore, he believed that Han Qing was not trying to escape from the mission, but was really unwilling to join other soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit.

Mei Zhili was silent for a while and asked Han Qing: "What kind of mission does the Han General want?"

Han Qing didn't be polite to Mei Zhili, and he asked directly: "Why would you like to maintain public order in the future?"

In fact, it is not the turn of Mei Zhili, the Minister of Revenue, to manage it. Kaifeng Prefecture, should be managed by Xu Bingzhe and Wang Shiyong, who is behind him.

Although Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe had some friendship with Han Qing, and even Wang Shiyong was optimistic about the capable Han Qing, the person Wang Shiyong trusted the most was not Han Qing, who did something and did not do anything, but Fan Qiong's butcher.

Like Han Qing, Fan Qiong also has more than 3,000 ruthless people in his hands.

Moreover, from the surface, the weapons in Fan Qiong's hands were better and more than those in Han Qing's hands.

Recently, Fan Qiong has been maintaining public order in Bianliang City.

To be fair, Fan Qiong did a good job, at least he had no major problems.

The key is that Fan Qiong is obedient enough and has no bottom line. Fan Qiong will beat him wherever Wang Shiyong pointed, without any ambiguity. It can be said that as long as Wang Shiyong gives instructions, Fan Qiong can do anything.

So, when Han Qing said that he wanted to maintain public order, Mei Zhili didn't even think about it, so she shook her head and said, "It's not that I won't help you, but this matter is impossible. Wang Shiyong will not abandon Fan Qiong and use you."

"The master misunderstood. The general did not want to maintain public security in the city, but to maintain public security in the army."

Han Qing also explained: "I heard that the soldiers of all battalions have been making a big fuss recently because of cutting the supply of food. I worry that the adults are in danger, and I am afraid that his mutiny will delay His Majesty's major affairs, so I want to maintain public order to ensure that His Majesty's safety will not be disturbed by His Majesty's major affairs."
