The Fall of Shaanxi

At this time, the great hero and great hero Wu Jie led thousands of soldiers of Yongxing Army to break through the Fengxiang Mansion occupied by the Jin army, and headed south along Longshan to the only dangerous fortress southwest of Guanzhong - Dasan Pass at the junction of Fengxiang Mansion and Fengzhou!

Dasan Pass is located in the southern suburbs of Baoji, Shaanxi, on the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. It is named after the Dasan Pass. It is a tributary of the Wei River in the north and the Jialing River in the south. It is connected to the upper source of the Jialing River in the south. It is a meeting of mountains and rivers, and it is the southwest and the important road hub in the northwest, also known as the Gugu. Historical books: There are more than 70 battles happening here, such as when the Chu-Han fights, Han Xin secretly built a plank road and secretly crossed Chencang, and passed by here. Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms expeditions to the west, and Zhang Lu also entered Sichuan from here. It can be said that this is the place that must be fought between Sichuan and Shaanxi! Zhang Jun gave up here and went to Xingzhou to build the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Department. He was purely confused and hopelessly amateurs...

When Fuping was defeated and the Western Army was destroyed, Wu Jie led only a few thousand alone troops to the dangerous land to seize this most important pass, which fully demonstrated his strategic vision and the style of a famous general!

Of course, some people don’t understand him. His subordinates advised him to go directly to Sichuan, retreat to Hanzhong, and stand at the throat of Shuchuan. Wouldn’t that be more conducive to defense?

Wu Jie opposed it, that would be too passive. Sticking to Dasan Pass would turn into a thorn in the Jin army's advance westward - "I protect this, the enemy will never dare to advance over me. When the wall is approached, he is afraid that I will follow behind, so that he will protect Shu." How to defend is even more a big question. Wu Jie did not go to the pass of Dasan Pass to the hard top, and he found a wonderful point: this point is on the east side of Dasan Pass, which is the right front of Shaanxi on the back of Sichuan. There is steep all around, and the mountain top is wide and flat. It is what the ancient military strategists call "the pass" that is the most ideal place to set up a village to defend!

This narrow land is called Monk Yuan!

On January, Wanyan Zonghan ordered: arrest all the Han people in the Two Rivers area and serve as slaves for the Jurchens! Some were sold to Mongolia, Shiwei, Goryeo and other places, and the rest were taken to Xixia Kingdom to exchange for war horses!

On the 9th, the Jurchen war god Wanyan Loushi passed away. The imprint he left in history was very clear: he captured Yelu Dashi alive, captured Yelu Yanxi, defeated the main force of Xixia as quickly as possible, and immediately surrendered to the Dangxiang people. Before his death, he was seriously ill and led the Battle of Fuping and defeated the only main war legion of the Song Dynasty... Such a person, even if he was an enemy, had to admit his excellence! Even if he was just an outstanding military talent.

Judging from the name, he looks like a member of the Jin royal family. After all, his surname is "Wanyan". In fact, his father is a subordinate of Jin Muzong Wanyan Yingge, and he is the patriarch of the Nadan Water Tribe. There is no clear historical explanation for the relationship between Nadan Water Tribe and Wanyan's tribe. After investigation, it should be true that the Wanyan Loushi family is likely to be the hereditary Aha (i.e., a servant) of the Wanyan royal family. Otherwise, with his military merits, he would have long been above all Wanyan, and at least equal to Wanyan Zonghan and others... Heroes are not of low origin, and this is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

After the death of the Jurchen God of War, Sichuan and Shaanxi became the performance stage for the great hero Wu Jie!

On the 11th, on the birth of Empress Dowager Meng, Zhao Gou ordered the Ministry of Revenue to pay 10,000 yuan to personally organize the birthday of Empress Dowager Meng. Empress Dowager Meng said, "I am old, but I have something to worry about, so I should say it to the official: The sages of Empress Dowager Gao are unparalleled in ancient and modern times. However, there are treacherous ministers venting their personal anger and slandering them. When the official ascended the throne, he issued an edict to clarify it. However, historical records are still unfavorable to the Empress Dowager. In the future, I am in the spirit of heaven, and I only hope that the official can re-enter the Shenzong and the Zhezong dynasties. "

On the 7th, Zhang Jun, the commander of the Right Army of Shenwu, was appointed as the Jiangnan Road recruitment envoy, and was in charge of the former army commander Wang Xie, the commander of the rear army commander Chen Sigong, the commander of Tongtai, Yue Fei and others, went to Jiangzhou to suppress bandits, and the bandit leader was Li Cheng.

This month, the Great Jin Dynasty Bohai City has a great trust, but it is not good for the return of the north. It is said that Zhang Xiaochun followed his son Zhang Huan. The two fell in love with him and drank and talked. When they talked about Zhang Xiaochun's master Liu Yu, the Great Jin Dynasty sighed and said, "I am a minister of the Great Liao Kingdom and the royal family of the Bohai Sea. The Great Jin Dynasty promised to establish the country Liaodong, so I surrendered. After that, I fought south and north and made countless contributions. I think that Liu Yu was just a prefect of Jinan, and surrendered alone, but now he is the emperor. The Great Jin Dynasty is betraying me."

This month, Liu Yu named Chen Dong, who was wrongly killed by Emperor Gaozong of Song, as Marquis of Anyi, and Ouyang Che as Marquis of Quanjie, and set up temples for the two in Guide Mansion, Nanjing, the former Song Dynasty.

On January 11, the first year of Shaoxing (111), Wanyan Chang attacked Yangzhou.

On the 1st, Liu Guangshi, the ambassador of Zhejiang West, reported that more than 660 Jurchen signing troops had been recruited and were begging for official positions. Since then, there have been endless surrenders from Jiangbei, and then the strange army, Chixin Army, was established.

On the other day, Emperor Gaozong of Song issued an edict: The Great Song Dynasty was established by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. A monarch who started a business and ruled the country should be virtuous for generations, and it is not an exaggeration to inherit the title of king. Now one of them should be chosen and named Prince Anding, and it is not an exaggeration to be abandoned for generations.

On the 1st of the month, Zhu You attacked Xuanzhou on the East Road of Jiangnan and was surrendered by Liu Guangshi. He wanted to borrow the territory of Wang Guan, the deputy general of Jiangdong Road, and went north to Lishui County in Jiankang Prefecture. Wang Guan refused to give in. As a result, Zhu You was beaten up by Zhu You. Zhu You went to Jurong County in Jiankang Prefecture and went to Zhenjiang Prefecture to meet Liu Guangshi. He also came with Zhu You, Shi Kangmin from Huainan and a large amount of jewelry he carried with his army. Liu Guangshi was overjoyed and ordered Zhu You to be the governor of Chuzhou and divide his troops to take up his post.

On the 14th, Qin Hui was rewarded for his suffering in the north and his steadfast during the Jingkang period: he was promoted to the position of the governor and political affairs. He was promoted like lightning, but Qin Hui was not satisfied. He was careful to look for opportunities to go further. Because what he wanted to do was invisible to the prime minister! How easy was it? Fan Zongyin was an authentic official monster, with no knowledge, luck, and courage. In order to show perfection, he even had conscience and righteous indignation!

These qualities made Prime Minister Fan do one thing: 1 He abolished the Jianying Department and restored the ancestral system of the Privy Council, which led the army to the Privy Council. This made the order quickly return. In contrast, even if the Privy Council military system has various defects, it was much more perfect than the temporary Jianying Department. This further showed that Fan Zongyin was extremely arrogant. He did not take the opportunity to take over the military power in the prime minister's name and greatly increase his real power, but instead actively separated. This is a valuable spirit for the country.

He set up a scrupulous envoy. There is no fixed membership in this organization, and there is no rigid standard for membership qualifications. As long as you have the strength, take root between Song and Jin and Song and Qi, go there to fight against the Jin and cause trouble for the aliens, then you are the scrupulous envoy! This was extremely needed at that time. The Southern Song Dynasty had limited military strength and could not defend the entire territory against the enemy. Then you had to delegate power. Whether it was the people or some soldiers, they would go to the changing battle zones, organize their own troops, raise their own food and wages, and fight on their own. Of course, there would be great risks to do so:

One is that the quality is mixed. Some can really fight with the Jin army to protect the country and safeguard the people and become the country's vassal state. Some take the opportunity to harm one side and become robbers with identity. The other is more dangerous. "Own forces, self-raised food and wages, and each fights on their own." It seems very convenient, but maybe separatist will occur. If it continues, there will be real power figures like vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty... But that's a later story. In the future, it is better to stop thinking from happening than the current foreigners who cross the river at will!

The previous two things made Fan Zongyin's reputation continue to increase, but the worst thing was that he did the third thing! This matter was too wide and had a great significance to dominate the spiritual core of the entire Southern Song Dynasty - "cleaning up" the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. Most people in the Song Dynasty were thinking about a question: How did such a huge and glorious country suddenly collapse? It was simply attributed to the invasion of the Jurchens, which was very one-sided. The Song Dynasty people thought a lot and kept analyzing what the problem was? This kind of traceability reflection was constantly developing, gradually forming the mainstream consciousness of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Fan Zongyin not only proposed his own answer, but also gave a solution.

He was an administrative official and attributed the problem to the wrong decision of the government. It was caused by the fact that Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji did not play cards according to the rules and kept rewarding. In modern terms, it was the government's open corruption! Official titles, salary, and bonuses were all distributed at will, disrupting all the rules of the game. If you want to correct all this, there was only one way, which was to thoroughly investigate all the previous rewards and recover them one by one!

The above is the Prime Minister Fan's opinion on how the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed its country and how the Southern Song Dynasty was reborn. This should be the first discussion and practical correction of this issue after the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty. After that, a complete set of theories continued to emerge, improve, and integrate, and finally formed the academic school of the Chinese nation that was consistent in its establishment from the Southern Song Dynasty to the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty, and a saint who condemned the world and acted as a spiritual policeman for all ages!

He said a little far, and he turned to Fan Zongyin. As soon as his third thing was released, he immediately destroyed the officialdom. What is the "indiscriminate reward" of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and other six thieves, so what about He Li, Li Gang, Qin Hui and even Fan Zongyin himself? He was suddenly promoted and suddenly became a high position. Do you have to fight back to your original form one by one?

Fan Zongyin paid the price for his idealistic liquidation! He offended too many people, and no one dared to stand with him. In such a world, almost everyone is more or less unclean!

What is most embarrassing is that he took Song Huizong to the dock. The "indiscriminate reward" was rewarded by Zhao Ji. If the recipients were guilty, could the person who gave the distributor be exempted? This forced Zhao Gou to sentence his father who suffered in the north... So Zhao Gou became annoyed and the entire officialdom was angry... Fan Yaoniu's life is almost over!

On the 6th, Emperor Gaozong of Song issued an edict: Everyone can speak freely about protecting the people and eliminating thefts, curbing enemy troubles, and making national wealth. So Hanlin scholar Wang Zao went to this chapter of "Three Talks on Controlling Generals", and all the generals were angry, and civil and military officials became even more incompatible with the situation...

This month, Yelu Yuxi was ordered by Wanyan Zonghan to lead tens of cavalry from Datong Prefecture to conquer Yelu Dashi of the Western Liao Dynasty. He continued to reach Dongcheng for more than a thousand miles west. It took half a year to return in September. This was very different from the strategy of "fighting to fight" since the Jurchens started. In this battle, the people were unable to overcome the suffering. Yelu Yuxi made another big mistake: he lost the gold medal in the marching. This made Wanyan Zonghan suspicious: Are you a Khitan? You will not have any collusion with Yelu Dashi, right? So he detained all his wife. Yelu Yuxi was forced to a dead end and prepared to rebel...

This month, the Xihe Ruler commander Liu Xi fled and commanded Guan Shigu to collect the remaining troops in Minzhou to protect himself; Qin Feng Ruler commander Sun Wo retreated to the protection rank, Cheng, Fengzhou. In the six roads of Shaanxi, countless prefectures and counties, except for Tao, Minzhou and Qinfeng Road, Cheng, Fengzhou and Monk Yuan of Fengxiang Prefecture, and Fangshan Yuan of Longzhou, all fell into the hands of the Jin army! The Jin army appointed rebel general Zhang Zhongfu to guard Pingliang Mansion, the capital of Jingyuan Road, his younger brother Zhang Zhongyan to guard Qinzhou, the capital of Qinfeng Road, Zhao Bin to guard Qingzhou, the capital of Huanqing Road, and Murong You to guard Huanzhou.

In the month, the Jin army withdrew from Xihe Road. When they walked to the Gongmen Village of Qinzhou, they encountered the resistance of the inspector Wang Qi. The Jin army proclaimed a surrender and asked all parts of Shaanxi to surrender to the Great Qi regime of Liu Yu. Wang Qi was the only one who refused to surrender and was later killed by Zhang Zhongfu.

On the 1st, Zhang Jun sent Wang Xie as the navy, Yue Fei as the vanguard, Yang Yizhong and Chen Sigong's troops were divided into two groups, defeating Li Cheng's general Ma Jin who was stationed in the west of Jiangnan Road, Yunzhou. The next day, Ma Jin was defeated again and fled. Zhang Jun was able to recover Yunzhou and Linjiang's army, while Ma Jin fled north to Nankang's army, and was defeated by the master Gu, so he could only escape to Jiangzhou and meet with Li Cheng. Zhang Jun led his army to chase him reluctantly.
