Chapter 306 Wanyan Zongyi goes to the capital
Kaifeng in October is the time of autumn, with golden autumn leaves falling gently in the wind and forming a thick carpet. However, thousands of miles away in Shangjing, it is a different scene.
This city, as the origin of the Jin Kingdom, carries a rich historical and cultural heritage. It is currently covered with snowflakes in the deep winter and wrapped in silver.
On such a windy and snowy day, Wanyan Zongyi stood on the wall of Shangjing City, looking across the vast white snow to the distant wilderness.
The cold wind was blowing against his face mixed with snowflakes, but it could not shake his resolute figure. The soldiers under the city wall also stood by silently, waiting for his orders.
Suddenly, a black spot appeared in Wanyan Zongyi's sight. It seemed to come from the depths of the wind and snow, and gradually grew larger until it was clearly visible.
Wanyan Zongyi's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he murmured to himself: "Could it be that Wanyan Zongmei is back? He has brought news about the Song Dynasty?"
At this moment, a soldier hurried over, his face filled with unconcealable joy: "Your Majesty, General Wanyan Zongmei is back! He also brought General Wen Boyuan, the commander in chief of the Song Dynasty, and General Wen Boyuan, the commander of the Song Dynasty. A large number of muskets and artillery aid from Song Dynasty!"
Wanyan Zongyi was overjoyed when he heard this. The arrival of these firearms would undoubtedly add a major boost to their combat effectiveness.
He immediately ordered: "Quick! Order thousands of troops to follow me out of the city to meet me!"
As the city gate slowly opened, a group of people, led by Wanyan Zongyi, galloped out against the wind and snow.
Not far outside the city, Wanyan Zongmei and Wen Boyuan were slowly escorting the firecrackers and artillery provided by the Song Dynasty. The nearly month-long land journey made them very tired.
After Wanyan Zongyi arrived on horseback, he dismounted, held Wanyan Zongmei's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your hard work, brother! The assistance from the Song Dynasty is of great significance to us, and these firearms will greatly enhance our combat effectiveness. "
Wanyan Zongmei nodded and responded: "Brother, when I went to the Song Dynasty this time, I deeply felt their sincerity. They hope that we can jointly resist the Jin Dynasty court and regain the throne."
Wen Boyuan also stepped forward. He was tall and strong, with a resolute face and the demeanor of a military commander.
"King Wanyan, this time I have sent these firearms to show my sincerity on the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Song Dynasty. We hope to help the king win the battle and regain your throne." His voice was loud and powerful, revealing Showing an unquestionable majesty.
Wanyan Zongyi looked at Wen Boyuan gratefully and said: "Thank you to Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Song Dynasty for your generous assistance, and also to General Wen for his hard work. Please rest assured that we will make good use of these firearms."
Wanyan Zongyi ordered his people to carefully count and receive the firecrackers and artillery provided by the Song Dynasty, ensuring that every piece of material was properly placed.
Later, he personally took Wen Boyuan and his entourage to the palace in Shangjing City, preparing to hold a grand reception banquet for them.
The palace city is brightly lit and resplendent, showing its royal style. Wanyan Zongyi and Wen Boyuan walked into the banquet hall side by side. The table was filled with delicacies and the aroma of fine wine was flowing. After the two sat down, Wanyan Zongyi raised his glass to toast Wen Boyuan, thanking Song Dynasty for its generous assistance.
"General Wen, the assistance from the Song Dynasty this time is like providing help in times of need. On behalf of the entire Jin Kingdom, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you." Wanyan Zongyi said sincerely.
Wen Boyuan also raised his glass in return and said with a smile: "King Wanyan said something serious. Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Song Dynasty particularly appreciates the king. It is natural to support each other. I only hope that this assistance can bring peace and stability to the Kingdom of Jin."
The banquet was in a lively atmosphere, with the host and guest exchanging glasses and chatting happily. After three drinks, Wanyan Zongyi personally arranged accommodation for Wen Boyuan and his entourage.
Early the next morning, Wanyan Zongyi invited Wen Boyuan to visit the army station outside Shangjing City.
When Wen Boyuan saw those energetic and well-equipped cavalry, he couldn't help but admired: "King Wanyan's troops are indeed well-deserved. These cavalry are really tough and have extraordinary combat power!"
When Wanyan Zongyi heard Wen Boyuan's praise of his troops, he was very satisfied and said with a smile: "General Wen, thank you very much. These are my elite troops. They live and die for me and are extremely loyal."
As he spoke, Wanyan Zongyi's eyes became firm, and he looked into the distance, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
"With the help of the Song Dynasty, I am now full of confidence. I am ready to lead this army to march directly to Yanjing, personally take down Wanyan Zonghan's head, and avenge my father and imperial brothers!"
Wen Boyuan understood the importance of this war to Wanyan Zongyi and the Kingdom of Jin. "King Wanyan, I sincerely wish you success and success. I hope that after you ascend the throne, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty can live in peace and prosper together."
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongyi nodded deeply, "General Wen, don't worry, if I ascend the throne, I will definitely be committed to the friendly relations with the Song Dynasty. Our two countries are brothers and should work together to create a better future." "
Wen Boyuan did not stay long in Shangjing. He was concerned about the Song Dynasty and knew that he could not stay here for a long time. Despite Wanyan Zongyi's warm hospitality and repeated attempts to stay, he still resolutely bid farewell. He spent ten days and diligently taught Wanyan Zongyi's subordinates the operating skills of artillery and firecrackers one by one, ensuring that these Jin soldiers could master the use of these advanced firearms proficiently.
After the teaching was over, Wen Boyuan led his army back to Kaifeng. On the way home, he was filled with excitement and thoughts. He recalled what he saw and heard in Shangjing. He was deeply impressed by the powerful combat power of Wanyan Zongyi's army, but at the same time, he also felt deeply worried about Wanyan Zongyi's ambition and the future situation.
After a long journey, Wen Boyuan finally returned to Kaifeng last year. Seeing the bustling scene and busy citizens in the city, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. However, he did not have much time to enjoy this warmth. Early the next morning, he hurried to the court to prepare to tell the ministers and Princess Zhao Yingluo about his experience in the capital.
Above the court, Wen Boyuan stood there calmly and began to describe his experience in Shangjing in detail. He described the training and combat effectiveness of Wanyan Zongyi's army, as well as the mastery of firearms by the Jin soldiers. He also talked about the customs, customs and political situation of the Jin Kingdom, giving the ministers a deeper understanding of the Jin Kingdom.
However, when Wen Boyuan mentioned his hidden worries, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became solemn. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wanyan Zongyi's troops are strong, and now our Song Dynasty is helping him to stabilize the throne. However, what I am worried about is that once he successfully seizes the throne, there is no guarantee that he will not attack the great power. After all, there are many such examples in history."
