Chapter 88: Single-Handedly Shattering the Humiliation of Jingkang
Wanyan Aguda realized things were going wrong and wanted to escape immediately!
He directly used the Golden Light Escape!
This Golden Light Escape allows one to transform into golden light and escape instantly.
Its speed is extremely fast, even reaching twice the speed of sound.
Escape!
Escape!
Must escape!
Although escaping like this means the Jin Dynasty he created would lose!
But, so what.
He could just escape to the west, to Europe, and establish another Jin Dynasty there. He figured those Europeans definitely couldn’t beat him.
Where there’s life, there’s hope.
Just like Yelü Dashi, who escaped to Central Asia and established the Western Liao Dynasty.
His feud with Peng Feng was a death grudge, so he could escape even further.
Once in Europe, he would create a new Great Jin Dynasty.
But!
The next moment!
The golden light was frozen.
Frozen into chunks of white ice.
Peng Feng walked over unhurriedly, reaching the frozen area: “Wanyan Aguda, do you know? Even light can be frozen.”
Clap clap clap!
The ice shattered after 0.1 seconds.
But!
It was too late!
Peng Feng had already unleashed the Thousand Hands Subduing Dragon Burning Fist again.
Wanyan Aguda was blocked by the ice for 0.1 seconds, making it too late to dodge. He could only try his best to resist.
But…
Even when he was uninjured, he couldn’t withstand Peng Feng’s self-created Thousand Hands Subduing Dragon Burning Fist. Now, heavily injured, he was even less capable of resisting this terrifying fist technique.
Where did this terrifying fist technique come from!!!
The next moment!
Wanyan Aguda was blasted away like a broken leather drum.
Wanyan Aguda still wanted to escape!
At the same time!
He was still thinking.
Where is my brother, Wanyan Wugumai?
Where are my subordinates?
Why aren’t they coming to save me?
If they could just delay him a bit, I could escape.
The next moment!
He was directly lifted up by Peng Feng, who had grown to ten meters tall, and held at eye level: “Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda, this should be our last meeting. So, farewell!”
Having said that!
His right hand exerted force.
Bang!
Millions of pounds of force suddenly erupted.
Directly crushing Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda into a pulp.
Then.
His palm opened.
The pulp directly fell from his palm.
Scattering onto the ground.
Peng Feng let out a long breath!
Ever since his rebirth, he knew that the true great enemy of the Song Dynasty was definitely not the Liao Dynasty of that time. At most, the Liao Dynasty was slightly stronger than the Song Dynasty, but the advantage was limited, and it was too difficult to destroy the Song Dynasty.
The great enemy of the Song Dynasty was the Jin Dynasty, which was just entering the stage!
In history, the Jin Dynasty, which had just entered the stage, first destroyed the Liao Dynasty, then destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, single-handedly creating the humiliation of Jingkang.
The humiliation of Jingkang!
◈◈◈
The humiliation of Jingkang in history was like this:
In the second year of Jingkang (1127), the Jin army went south, captured the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo, and successfully captured Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song. Thus, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. The victorious Jin Dynasty also made countless outrageous demands, opening the door to the humiliation of Jingkang.
The Jin Dynasty demanded that the Song Dynasty pay ten million ingots of gold, twenty million ingots of silver, which converted to taels, would be one hundred million taels of gold and one billion taels of silver, as well as ten million bolts of silk.
In other words, the Song Dynasty had to compensate the Jin Dynasty with 100 million taels of gold, 1 billion taels of silver, and 10 million bolts of silk. So what does this mean?
This number was equivalent to the total fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty for 10 years, and the Song Dynasty, which had been fighting wars for years, could not possibly afford this huge sum of compensation.
Faced with this situation, Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song decided to squeeze all the imperial relatives and high-ranking officials, forcing them to take out all the money in their homes. In order to obtain money in the shortest possible time, Emperor Qinzong of Song even set up a special agency to collect silver. He also encouraged everyone to report on each other, to see who had not paid. In the end, he directly used force to demand money, which was truly despicable!
The Jin army naturally knew that the Song Dynasty could not afford this money, so they proposed to use the women of the imperial family to pay off the debt, and gave specific prices:
Each imperial princess and royal concubine was worth 1000 ingots of gold, each clan princess was worth 500 ingots of gold, each family princess was worth 200 ingots of gold, each clan wife was worth 500 ingots of silver, each family wife was worth 300 ingots of silver, and each noblewoman was worth 100 ingots of silver.
Such actions were simply treating people as goods to be bought and sold.
In this way, nearly 10,000 concubines, clan princesses, palace maids, and noblewomen were given to the Jin army. Even the empress was humiliated by the Jin army. The level of humiliation was so great that even the official history did not dare to state it directly. In the end, the empress, unable to bear the humiliation, chose to commit suicide.
There were virtuous women like Zhang, Lu, and Cao, who refused to submit to the second prince Han Libu. The Jin army impaled them with iron rods and displayed them in front of the camp. They did not die until three days later.
The Jin army obtained a large number of women and war reparations and began a major withdrawal. According to Jin records, there were more than 3,000 wives of the emperor, more than 4,000 men and women of the imperial family, more than 5,000 men and women of the nobility, and more than 3,000 artisans and musicians among the Northern Song captives.
During the process of Emperor Huizong and others going north, humiliation was inevitable. The Jin Dynasty had a famous ritual called the “Leading Sheep Ritual,” which was specifically set up for the surrendered captives to express the nobility of the victors.
Early in the morning on August 24, thousands of Jin soldiers broke into the camp where the two emperors were located, which held 1,300 people, including emperors, princes, concubines, and princesses. The soldiers forced them to go outside the Jin Dynasty’s ancestral temple, stripped the emperors and empresses of their outer robes, changed them into civilian clothes, wrapped them in sheepskin, and the rest of the people, regardless of whether they were consorts, concubines, royal concubines, imperial princesses, or women of the imperial family, were all stripped naked to the waist, wearing only a piece of sheepskin and holding a sheepskin rope in their hands.
The humiliation was not over yet. Emperor Huizong of Song was named the Duke of Confused Virtue, and the young Emperor Qinzong of Song was named the Marquis of Double Confusion.
This is the humiliation of Jingkang!!!
Ever since his transmigration, he had always wanted to avoid the humiliation of Jingkang!
He wanted to save the situation.
Five years ago!
When Wanyan Aguda first appeared, he was so powerful, his Heavenly Human Realm was despairing.
Fortunately!
He had finally surpassed Wanyan Aguda in strength.
This time, he also defeated Wanyan Aguda.
Since Wanyan Aguda was defeated.
Then…
The Jin Dynasty was also defeated.
The Song Dynasty won.
He had successfully saved the situation!
He had single-handedly shattered the humiliation of Jingkang.
Yue Wumu of this world would no longer have to write in tears: “The humiliation of Jingkang, has not yet been avenged, the hatred of the subjects, when will it end.”
Peng Feng stood in the field.
He looked at the sky.
Above the sky.
White clouds like dogs and dogs.
The blue sky was as clear as a wash.
Birds were chirping joyfully.
Birds!
Beasts!
At this moment, they were all cheering.
Winning this battle would at least ensure a hundred years of peace.
(The Northern Song Dynasty’s battle against the Jin Dynasty is coming to an end.)
