On the 1st, Yangzhou City issued a new order: No one, including officials at all levels, is allowed to discuss border defenses for any reason, including for the sake of the emperor's safety, and no one is allowed to spread the unsafe comments about Yangzhou City. No one is allowed to bring their families to Yangzhou City on the grounds that Yangzhou City is not safe!

Compared with Du Chong, Liu Hongdao, the appeaser of Jingdong East Road, did a very authentic job, and only focused his target on Zhao Sheng, who was chasing the city through chaos. He told Zhao Sheng, "Laizhou is on the peninsula and has not been fired. How about you let you guard Laizhou now?" Zhao Sheng happily agreed. He had to go to Laizhou through Weizhou. Liu Hongdao ordered Yan Gao and Zhang Cheng to ambush halfway. As a result, Zhao Sheng was in a daze when he walked to the Zhumi Village. Later, Liu Hongdao appointed Zhang as the governor of Laizhou.

Afterwards, Ge Jin, the commander of the Binzhou army and Xiang Dayou, the governor of Binzhou, led his troops to the city of Qingzhou, the capital of Jingdong East Road. Liu Hongdao closed the city gates and hung the wine and meat off the top of the city to reward the army. Ge Jin was furious and led his troops to capture the northern city. Liu Hongdao led his troops to defend the southern city. Ge Jin sent Xiang Dayou to the southern city plan and was imprisoned by Liu Hongdao.

After the Jin army captured Yingchang Prefecture, they learned that a local juren named Chenwei Tam had a friendship with Cheng Changyu, the governor of Caizhou, so they sent him to recruit surrender. Unexpectedly, Cheng Changyu was brought to the market to show his determination not to surrender.

On the 7th, the Jin army captured Xuzhou on the east and west roads of Beijing, and the guardian Wang Fu's family was killed. Zhao Li, the Duke of Wuwei, fought hard and rushed out of the city. He thought he would die, but in the middle of the night, it rained heavily, so he drank him alive. Afterwards, Zhao Li killed the Jin soldiers guarding the city gate and sneaked into Xuzhou City. He found Wang Fu's body and buried him well.

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan was in Teng County, Xuzhou. When he heard that Han Shizhong was guarding the Huaiyang Army at the southernmost end of Jingdong East Road, he immediately decided: the Jin army directly invaded the south, and the target was directed to Yangzhou City and the Southern Song Emperor Zhao Gou! Wanyan Balisu, Wulin replied to Tai Wan, Yelu Ma Wu, you are 5,000 cavalry troops, don’t care about anything! As long as you go to Yangzhou City to take down Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, everything will be done! I myself will lead the army to compete with Han Shizhong!

Han Shizhong was defeated and retreated to Suqian County, and then retreated to Shuyang County, Haizhou, the northernmost end of Huainan East Road. Wanyan Zonghan entered Huaiyang Army City, and the guardian Li Kuan was captured, and Li Qian, the deputy envoy of Jingdong Transportation, was killed. In Shuyang County, Han Shizhong made the most embarrassing move in his life: he abandoned the entire army at night and fled to Yancheng County in Chuzhou! The next day, the Han Shizhong's army in Shuyang collapsed. Zhang Yu died in Zhangqu Village of Lianshui Army. Li Yanxian, Li Zai and other generals each gathered the remaining troops and protected themselves in various places.

On the 0th, Sizhou, less than 10 kilometers northeast of Yangzhou, was captured by Wanyan Balisu and other cavalry Jin army. The guard Yan Jin had already fled south, and the general was anxious to report Yangzhou. Yangzhou city was in chaos... Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was stunned! From the fragrance of rouge and powder, the formation of meat suddenly fell into a cliff, the bottomless abyss. All of his mind was his father and brother's miserable life. Now it was his turn, it was so fast! When he came back a little and wanted to struggle to escape, he discovered a more tragic and strange situation:

He was atrophy! That part of his body was completely soft! Whoever was beaten to this instantaneous blow, and who would know who would die. Of course, modern medicine tells us: this is conscious, and as long as the psychology improves, he can still save it. But the fatal thing is that Zhao Gou was afraid of the Jin army from then on. If this is the root of the disease, he would not dare to face it, let alone remove it! At this time, Zhao Gou had no intention of discussing this, nor did he realize what impact this incident would have on his life, his dynasty [31 Novel Network                                                                                                                                                                                      

Lu Yuan, deputy envoy of Jianghuai Transportation, also heard the news. While urgently receiving hundreds of ships from Jiangbei to the south bank, he ordered Zhang Jin to burn off all the floating bridges, and while urgently writing a letter, asking the emperor to prepare for a southern tour at any time...

In Sizhou, after Yan Jin escaped, Sun Rong led more than a hundred archers out of the city to meet the enemy. Fortunately, God helped him these days, and there was no snow covering the ground, but instead the dusty atmosphere was covered with the sun. The Jin army could not see how many people Sun Rong had, which made him reach the limit on January 0, which won precious time for the Southern Song monarchs and ministers in Yangzhou City. Sun Rong eventually fought and died.

On the 1st of the month, Yan Jin fled to Hongze Town in Chuzhou and was killed by his general Yao Duan.

On that day, Zhao Gou was preparing to cross the south of the Yangtze River to escape. Prime Minister Huang Qianshan advised the emperor to stay and see the situation first. He could first carry 1/ of the gold and silk from the left treasury of the palace. The Minister of Revenue Ye Mengde asked the emperor to send a general to the south bank of the Yangtze River to prepare first, and then requested that the Ministry of Revenue money and silk to pay the army and officials in advance, so that everyone would have other ideas when they got it. Zhao Gou agreed and ordered the Imperial Camp Commander Liu Zhengyan to lead his troops to protect the concubines and princes in the harem. The Minister of Personnel Lü Yihao and the Minister of Rites Zhang Jun set out first to prepare for the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Let’s talk about the Jin army: On this day, they fought to the Tianchang Army, which was more than 50 kilometers northeast of Yangzhou! The guard Ren Chong, Cheng Xi and more than 10,000 soldiers all fled. Zhao Gou urgently sent his beloved general, Liu Guangshi, the commander of the Jianghuai regime, to lead his troops to meet the enemy. But as soon as the troops walked out of Yangzhou City, they scattered...

On the same day, Wanyan Zonghan's army attacked Chuzhou. Zhu Lin, the guardian, did a great job: while he opened the northwest city gate to surrender to the Jin army, while opening the east gate: People, you can go and stay as you like... The military and civilians went out of the east gate and fled to Baoying County, which is more than 0 kilometers southeast, and were then captured by the Jin army...

On the Sunday, the Jin army captured the Tianchang Army. Kuang Xun, who was sent to investigate the situation, also came back in time to report the shocking news to him. Zhao Gou was shocked. He did not even inform Huang or Wang, and directly took Wang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp, and five or six others, including the provincial governor of Ban Kanglu, and jumped onto the horse and fled! The city of Yangzhou was in chaos! Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan realized that the emperor had escaped and immediately rode on their horses and fled!

They ran towards the Yangtze River because it was said that there were a large number of ships there and a large number of supplies on the ships. They were waiting for the emperor to set sail at any time and cross the Yangtze River...

The escape was rapid, panic, and bloody. The first drop of blood shed in this emergency and the first person to die was created by Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Gou. On the Yangtze Bridge, a soldier in the imperial camp ran and complained... As a result, Zhao Gou stabbed him to death with one sword!

Others include Shi Hui, Fan Hao, Huang Zhe, Huang Tangjun, and Li Chudun, all died in this escape. Zhu Duanyou and Zhang Hao disappeared. The most unfair one was the Si Nongqing Huang E. Just because he had the same surname as Prime Minister Huang Qianshan, the soldiers said, "This is Huang Xianggong." Before Huang E could tell the difference between Huang and Huang, the angry crowd rushed over and chopped him up!

After seeing the blood, Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Gou became excited and quickly rushed to Guazhou Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River. As a result, he was stunned when facing the surging river water! There was nothing on the river, let alone the legendary large number of warships, not even small boats!

"Wang Yuan, said: What about the ship you are preparing to get off?" Wang Yuan carefully opened the notepad and reported. "The ships are all there, they are very busy, and are speeding up the transportation of His Majesty's property to Hangzhou. This is also an order that has been issued a long time ago." Zhao Gou asked his character for a long time, why didn't he think of leaving even one?

At this time, Lu Yihao and Zhang Jun arrived urgently and brought a small boat. At this time, Zhao Gou didn't care, so he had to jump onto the small boat and sail to the Zhenjiang Mansion on the other side in the cold river water of the early spring of the Yangtze River. In Zhenjiang Mansion, the people also fled. The guard Qian Boyan led a very small number of soldiers to welcome the throne.

This is a famous scene that makes people confused in the history of the Song Dynasty. It shouldn't have happened. Even if Huang and Wang conceal the truth, no matter how sudden the Jin army's actions were, it would not have led to such a tragedy! Because the Jin army attacked only had 6,000 cavalry and had long-distance raids, they were already exhausted. Let's take a step back, even if they remain elite? Zhao Gou's imperial camp had at least more than 100,000 troops. Compared with such a huge gap, why did you escape? Why do you have to be so embarrassed? It's really amazing! So, various legends came into being, such as Zhao Gou's famous miracle "Milt Horse Crossing the River"

In the legend, the Holy Emperor Zhao Gou, who is in a place of death, has good fortune and good fortune in heaven, and has a life of heaven, and is protected by gods. He was a god who led a horse to send him across the river. People agree with this legend and unanimously believe that this horse is neither gold nor silver nor copper nor iron. It is made of grass and mud, and it is the legendary divine beast grass mud horse!

The divine beast finally carried Zhao Gou and his group to escape from the other side and arrived at Zhenjiang Prefecture. At this time, there was nothing to do, only grass and mud. The entire Jianyan Group slept in the grass, and only Zhao Gou himself had a marten fur as a bedding...

That night, the 500 Jin army vanguards arrived in Yangzhou City, and the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou basically fled. The Jin army successfully entered the city and stationed downstairs of Zhaixing Tower. The scholars and women who had not had time to escape in the city were robbed by Jin soldiers.

But after the Yangzhou people who escaped from the city arrived at the riverside, they realized their true despair: if they wanted to escape, there must be countless Zhao Gou's grass mud horses and beasts... Hundreds of thousands of people were blocked by the Yangtze River, and they were bound to lead their families and had no way to move forward and retreat. How miserable is it!

On the 4th, the Jin army rushed to Guazhou Town, and the situation in front of them made them confused: Should we grab the ship first? Or kill people first? It should be noted that the difficulty of the two is similar. The final result is that all of them are all. The Jin soldiers can kill people when they are tired, and they can grab things when they are tired, and work will not be delayed...

On that day, Jianyan Group had a big quarrel, led by Liu Guangshi, one of the four generals of ZTE. He knelt in front of Zhao Gou and cried bitterly, saying that his tens of thousands of brothers had all escaped and probably had not been killed by the Jin army, and he could not reach the emperor in a short period of time. Who caused this? Wang Yuan!

Wang Yuan was in charge of all the ships on the river. Where did he do all the ships? He had to take all the responsibility! Wang Yuan immediately had the courage to admit his mistakes, and pointed out that the direct person in charge of the matter was Huang Fu Zuo, the inspector of Jiangbeidu... So Huang Fu Zuo was executed on the spot.

Jianyan Group resumed unity and then quickly formulated its next action plan. Where should such a large group of people go? Zhenjiang Prefecture is not good. It is close to the Yangtze River, and it must be abandoned for only one point. So where to go? Wang Yuan’s smile was very bright and weird. He reminded all the leaders in the group: Where are our ships now?

Zhao Gou was still hesitating, and the eyes of the people next to him were lit up. This group of people is special, they are the core of Jianyan Group. When it comes to the core, people think it should be Zhao Gou, Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan, Wang Yuan, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, etc. After all, by position, they are the emperor, prime minister, general in charge of the imperial camp, and general in command?

But it was wrong! They were not the core! To some extent, the reason why Jianyan Group was very frustrated during this period was because the group of people themselves were frustrated, they were eunuchs. They were several famous eunuchs who grew up with Zhao Gou in the Kang Palace, namely Kang Lu, Yan Gui, Gao Miao, Zhang Quwei, Zhang Dan, Chen Yongxi, etc. For no reason, the little brothers in this group of eunuchs felt that they were like Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, and Li Yan, Yingjun, Zheng, and Finance!

This is the most important thing. These eunuchs love money very much. The reason why Wang Yuan's fleet arrived in Hangzhou was to transport their property! When they mentioned the ship, they immediately had a good relationship and suggested to Zhao Gou that Hangzhou was very good, let's go to Hangzhou...

In fact, Hangzhou is also very good, and Zhao Gou found a reason to go there. The beauty of Hangzhou's mountains and rivers is unimaginable to the north. Hangzhou's wealth is basically the foundation of Kaifeng's wealth. In strategic location, Hangzhou is more ideal than Kaifeng. It is located in the outer edge of the Yangtze River that was not frozen during the period. There are many related cities between it and the Yangtze River as buffers. The ravines and waterways are crisscrossing, and the Jurchen cavalry will be subject to unprecedented obstacles. What's even better is that Hangzhou is located near the sea and can take shelter at any time in critical moments. This is an advantage that no famous city in the north has. To sum up, what is the reason not to go to Hangzhou?

The eunuchs seemed to have a very wise suggestion, but there was still a lot to do before going there. Although Jiangnan was so beautiful, it would be quite dangerous if they went there rashly.

Zhao Gou did not forget what his father had done to make Jiangnan a few years ago. At this time, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and he might be liquidated. At this time, he counted the team, let alone the Imperial Camp Army protecting the lords, even the guard of honor was only a yellow fan. He went to Hangzhou in this way, and someone believed that he was a fake emperor!

Since that's the case, I have to do more work before going to Hangzhou: the commander An Yi has now collected more than a thousand remaining troops in Jiangbei. This is very good! I will immediately promote you to the commander of Jiangbei and strictly guard the Guazhou Ferry. The prefect of Zhenjiang Qian Boyan was also the patrol and gave some money and grain. The Minister of Personnel Lu Yihao was also the commander of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Liu Guangshi was the governor of the Five Army. Yang Weizhong, the boss of the guards, controlled all the troops and horses of Jiangnan East Road. You are stationed in the upper reaches of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Jiankang City, the capital of Jiangnan East Road, to protect me!
