Jin Jun Retires
Chen Dong's heart was very cold. He knew: this was a naked bribery. The country he loved deeply was inviting him to go... to join in! What a huge irony, how desperate and sad this was... Is it because he fought against his life and death to maintain his life and death, and was the purpose of fighting for a single official?
If he asked Li Bangyan and others this question, Prime Minister Li would nod to him sincerely: Yes! That's it. Otherwise, why are you working so hard? Isn't you just pursuing these things in life?
Chen Dong wrote a letter to refuse 5 times, far away from the officialdom of the Song Dynasty...
The authorities were embarrassed, but the goal was achieved. The influence of the students dropped sharply. First, the number of people was reduced by half, and leaders such as Chen Dong always stayed among the people, which made the possibility of another civil war change less and less...
On the 7th, when Li Gang was reinstated, Cai Mao was just given up. In just five days, Cai Mao watched the Jin army attack the city and ordered that no arrows or stones be fired, and the soldiers were angry. Xu Churen was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat, and Yuwen Xuzhong was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat.
According to Wanyan Zongwang's request, the book Zuolang Chenhui accompanied Zhao Ji's fifth son, Song Qinzong's younger brother, Zhao Shu, and King Su of King Zhao in Jinchang as a hostage, and returned to Zhang Bangchang and Zhao Gou.
The role of this civil rebellion is great! Not only did the rotten, cowardly, despicable and shameless upper class of the Song Dynasty surrender in one fell swoop, but even the Jin army outside the city was afraid! When the news of Li Gang and Zhong Shidao taking office again reached Mou Tuogang, on the 9th of the month, the head coach of the Jin army Wanyan Zongwang ordered a retreat!
The Song Dynasty finally erupted the momentum that a superpower should have! It was just that its momentum, and it was the people, and the Jin army was afraid. Without waiting for the amount of gold and silver to scrape, they took the edict of the three northern towns to cede, hostage Zhao Shu, and countless precious jade artifacts to retreat to the north...
From January 7 to 9, 2016, the first Kaifeng defense battle ended here!
On the same day, Zhao Gou, Zhang Bangchang and Yuwen Xuzhong returned to Kaifeng.
Zhong Shidao felt this was an opportunity! He said, "Li Gang's plan is still executable. Immediately move troops to both sides of the Yellow River and can still wipe out the enemy." The Chief Censor Lu Haowen warned that "In less than half a year, the Jin soldiers will definitely go south again." But Zhao Huan refused. He believed that no matter what the price he paid, he finally sent away the evil gods...
At this point, we can summarize: What is the essence of the so-called first Kaifeng defense battle? Putting aside all details, you will find that the Jin army only fought two powerful attacks with no effect and heavy losses. A counter-sneak attack that could not even touch the Kaifeng city gate, and then obtained tens of millions of taels of silver and millions of taels of gold. The prince was hostage and ceded the Northern Town unprecedented victory!
How did you get it? It was all given to the Song Dynasty himself! Not only did the Jin army accept it, but the safety of the time when they went home! This is the essence of this war: it was not a victory or defeat, but a peace!
Even though it was "copying" the upper class of the Song Dynasty, it was also very satisfied! The Jin army besieged the city for more than 0 days, and it finally passed by the rain. How could it be so comfortable...
On the 10th, Zhao Gou, who stood up in times of crisis, was appointed as the Grand Tutor, Jingjiang, and Fengning Army Jiedushi.
On the 1st, the emperor ordered that according to the story of his ancestors, those who had obtained the morale of the military among the military generals were the chief ministers of the Privy Council, and those who had the prestige of the border generals were the bosses of the three yamen (Dianqianqian, the guards of the Majesty Army, the guards of the Infantry Army, the commanders of the Song Dynasty).
Li Gang reported, "In the Chanyuan alliance, the Liao army withdrew its troops. Although our army did not invite attacks, it still escorted them with heavy troops to prevent them from plundering. Today, please follow the story of Chengyuan. Wanyan Zongwang retreated for a long time, but he was still crossing the river. Please send heavy troops to escort them across the Yellow River." Zhao Huan just rejected Zhong Shidao's suggestion of robbing and killing in the middle of the journey, and now he has agreed to Li Gang's plan. And the secret decree: seize the opportunity, and start if you can... The soldiers were ordered and acted enthusiastically. However, this move
Li Bangyan was scared, and no matter what, he wanted to recall these soldiers and ask the Jin army to cross the river safely. So, in Xingzhou and Zhaozhou, the soldiers who had already caught up with the Jin army were summoned back by a handwritten order from the Prime Minister... As for both sides of the Yellow River, Li Bangyan sent people to send two big flags over, which read "There are those who are good at sending troops and follow the military law." Two big flags were waving in the wind on both sides of the Yellow River, blessing Wanyan Zongwang's army to drag and drag, cross the Yellow River with countless supplies, and embarked on the road home...
On the 14th, Li Bangyan was dismissed from prime minister. Zhang Bangchang, who had been on mission to Jin camp, was promoted to Taizai, Wu Min was promoted to Shaozai, Li Gang was promoted to the position of the Privy Council, the Left Prime Minister Geng Nanzhong, and the Right Prime Minister Li Qi.
Li Bangyan left, and his spirit is still there! Out of convention, the Song Dynasty officials asked him: Who will inherit your position?
Li Bangyan answered "Tang Ke" Tang Ke, who was a Jinshi and had a comprehensive official qualification. He almost achieved all official positions from low to high. He also went to the southwest border to suppress bandits. He was very successful and was promoted. He had many stories and his mind was very distorted. He did something even more alternative than Li Bangyan. Soon, he would become a dazzling star on the historical stage...
After the Jin army retreated, the emperor's brain returned to normal, and immediately felt that the three northern towns had ceded wrongly! What should I do? The Jin army had already received the official documents of the court. If there was a verdict, Zhao Huan would not have time to cry! And now even if he was quick to whip the order, even if the Jin army, which could run beyond the entire cavalry, could not penetrate the encirclement and send the letter to the city. The three northern towns: Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan have been besieged since the end of January of the previous year...
The anxiety was burning, and Zhao Huan came with good news. The Jin army really took the acceptance of the edict, but the military in the three towns regarded it as a liar! Their attitude was very clear: no man with braids was allowed to enter the city...
When the edict failed, Zhao Huan vented his anger and then thought about the essence of the problem. The three towns were surrounded and would be broken in the long run. Even if they could hold on, the situation would get worse and worse. I would ask all the surrounding areas, and only the lonely main city is there. What role can it play? If you want to save all this, you will send reinforcements immediately!
On the 17th, Zhao Huan issued an order to dismiss Zhongshidao as the envoy of the Central Taiyi Palace. This was a leisurely thing. Think about it a month ago, Zhongshidao was 70 years old in the deep winter. He led his army from the northwest to serve the king. No matter how effective it actually played, this hard work alone should be respected! For the enthusiasm of the army to support the king in the future, the Song Dynasty should set him a model and let him shine...
Is it guilty to serving the king? Xu Han, the chief censor, came forward to stand up for the unfairness. "Qin Shihuang regards Wang Jian as his elder, but failed to attack Chu. Emperor Xuan of Han did not regard Zhao Chong as his elder, and eventually destroyed Qiang in Jincheng. Since Jiang Taigong of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there are countless veterans who have made achievements. The teacher cannot be stopped." But the emperor did not listen.
In the end, Zhao Huan took back Cheng's fate and the front line report was the front line. The Jin army retreated at this time. Not only Wanyan Zongwang on the East Road, but Wanyan Zonghan on the West Road was also retreating...
The Jin army in the West Road has been attacking Taiyuan City for months but heard that the Western Road Army did not capture Kaifeng City, but blackmailed countless good things. Wanyan Zonghan also sent people to Kaifeng City to "blacklist", but the same surname was Wanyan, and the treatment he received was very different. The Song Dynasty had no birds...
Wanyan Zonghan was furious! He actually retreated south! He retreated and fought and conquered the Weisheng army in succession, Longde Mansion. On the 17th, the Jin army on the West Road reached Gaoping in Zezhou! As long as he took down Zezhou and crossed the Yellow River, he would go to the city of Kaifeng!
Kaifeng City panicked again, so he ordered Hao Huai to lead 10,000 troops to station the gateway to the northwest of Kaifeng, Heyang on the south bank of the Yellow River. Before he could serve as the envoy of Zhongtaiyi Palace in Zhongshidao, he was urgently appointed as the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, stationed at the gateway to the northeast of Kaifeng and Huazhou on the south bank of the Yellow River, in case of Wanyan Zonghan's crazy runaway...
At the same time, Zhao Huan called on the Zhong family army in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. The Yao family army went to fight to rescue the three northern towns! Yao Pingzhong's adoptive father Yao Gu was the commander and went to rescue Taiyuan. Zhong Shidao's younger brother Zhong Shizhong went to save Zhongshan and Hejian.
Since the first generation of Zong Shiheng, the second generation of Zong Gu, Zong Yan, Zong Diagnosis, Zong Yi has passed away. The third generation of Zong Yan's son Zhu died in battle. Zong Ji's son Zhu was devastated and only one kind of teacher was left. He is known as "Xiao Zong" and his brothers have joined the army since he was young. He served as Huanqing and Qinfeng's two-way strategic appeasement envoys, and is a famous old northwest...
The Yao Shi, Yao Lin brothers are as famous as the Zong Yan and the Zong Gu brothers. Yao Shi's son Yao Xiong and the Yao Gu brothers are famous. Although they have had such a wonderful person as Yao Pingzhong, their reputation has still been very appealing for decades.
Simply put: the Zhong family is cunning and smart. Whether they are alone or as a general, they have wonderful ideas and are flexible and changeable on the battlefield. They are both fierce and cunning. The Yao family has only one characteristic: they can fight. They are the most violent family in the Xihe Army that can fight the most in the Western Army!
On the 18th, the censor Sun Wei submitted a memorial to impeach Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Cai You for crimes.
On the 5th, the Minister of the Secretariat Wang Xiaodi was dismissed. The eunuch Liang Fangping was executed for the crime of abandoning the Yellow River.
On the month and the day, Li Qi, the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu, was dismissed. On the day, the Grand Secretary Zhang Bangchang was dismissed. Xu Churen, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was promoted to the Grand Secretary. Tang Ke was appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, He Li was appointed as the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu, and Xu Han was appointed as the Chief Minister of the General Privy Council. On the 4th, Yuwen Xuzhong, the Secretary of the Superior Privy Council, was dismissed.
At this time, Zhao Huan's eyes drifted to the distance. The biggest threat in his heart was far from the Jin Kingdom in the northeast, but his father Song Huizong who was leisurely wandering in the south of the Yangtze River. It was a whole team! Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Zhu Xie... These people together wanted the emperor to have an emperor, the prime minister, the army, and money, they were all veterans who had controlled the Song Dynasty for more than 0 years!
These people built palaces and gardens in Zhenjiang, and lived in a long time. The monthly expenses reached 00,000 yuan, and the huge expenses were all spent by the local government. South of the Yangtze River, Kaifeng's government orders were in vain. Zhao Ji did not want to delegate power at all. He even came forward to intercept the army of the king. Jiangnan **** was about to come out! This is not possible! Zhao Huan would never allow such a thing to happen! He wanted to take his father back to his side and solve the biggest threat to the throne without slapping one knife and one shot!
On the 7th, Zhao Ye, the assistant minister of the disciple, was appointed as the emissary of Emperor Daojun's palace.
On the 16th, Wanyan Zongwang attacked Zhongshan and Hejian Town, but he could not defend it. The reinforcements from Zhong Shizhong had arrived again, so the Jin army on the east route completely returned north.
On the 17th, Zhao Ji and his party came to Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing, Nanjing, and suddenly stopped leaving. They wrote to their son Zhao Huan, asking how your political reform was. They also proposed that I would meet Wu Min, Li Gang, and they were a man. Zhao Huan was up and down, and they didn't know what his father was selling. Li Gang said, "It's okay. I'll go." So Zhao Huan urgently sent Li Gang to Yingtian Prefecture. Prime Minister Xu Churen was the etiquette envoy. Li Gang met the Supreme Emperor and met very happily. Zhao Ji finally decided: set off and return to Kaifeng...
On the same day, Wanyan Zonghan left Nichhuhe to continue besieging Taiyuan City, and he returned to Datong Prefecture, Yunzhou. Wanyan Zongwang disbanded Guo Yaoshi's ever-winning army.
On the 0th, he was awarded the merits of defending the city in three towns in Hebei. Zhan Du, the prefect of Zhongshan, was the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall. Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, and Chen Go, the prefect of Hejian, was the Bachelor of the Zizheng Hall.
On the 4th, Yao Gu recovered Longde Prefecture and on the 5th, Weisheng Army was recovered.
On the 9th, the left clerk Chen Gongfu submitted a memorial requesting to be demoted to Cai Jing. As a result, Cai Jing was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Chongxin Army Jiedu and was resettled by De'an Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
