Suppression of Rebellion in the Southern Song Dynasty
The fourth southern expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty ended in vain. Zhang Rong reported the victory to Liu Guangshi of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Liu was very happy and ordered Zhang Rong to be the governor of Taizhou, and then prepared to go north to regain Chuzhou.
Yue Fei followed Zhang Jun's army to chase Ma Jin, and his final target was Li Cheng from Jiangzhou. In Louzizhuang, Fengxin County, Hongzhou, he encountered the ambush of the rebel general Shang Yuan. Yue Fei took the lead, broke through the ambush circle, and chased the horses all the way to Jiangzhou.
On the 7th, Zhao Gou issued an edict to count Li Cheng's crimes. Those who could capture Li Cheng were appointed as the governor on the spot, with silver and 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 coins. On the 8th, Zhang Jun defeated Li Cheng, forcing him to cross the Yangtze River and fled north to Qizhou on Huainan West Road. Zhang Jun continued to pursue him relentlessly. After this battle, Zhang Jun, who was in a dark face, received a nickname of "Zhang Tieshan".
Li Cheng was born as a archer and famous for his bravery. His life was divided into two parts, which was a black and white contrast, which was extremely distinct. He first spontaneously organized the rebel army to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and would never surrender even if he fought thousands of miles away. However, when Zong Ze died and Du Chong came, Li Cheng rebelled immediately, and then entered Jiangnan and told Zhao Gou that he wanted to be a regular army! Zhao Gou satisfied him... Later, Li Cheng rebelled and robbed... Liu Guangshi sent troops to suppress bandits, Li Cheng was convinced, and became the governor again, and was sent to the Yangtze River... After Chuzhou fell, Li Cheng rebelled again...
Now, it is the beginning of a long story between Yue Fei and Li Cheng, and the beginning of the long story between Yue Fei and Zhang Jun. At this time, Yue Fei regarded Zhang Jun as his brother, and Zhang Jun regarded Yue Fei as the first guarantee for the successful suppression of bandits. The two had a very harmonious relationship and would not expect that one day, Yue Fei would die because of Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun would be infamous for Yue Fei for thousands of years...
Back to Yue Fei and Li Cheng, Li Cheng's biggest nightmare came, and he found that the market had changed. Before, if he wanted to rebel, he would turn into a bandit at any time, and if he wanted to surrender, the official army would not kill to the end. Just like Liu Guangshi, everything was discussed. So between rebellion and surrender, he could choose calmly, without any psychological burden. But Yue Fei was different. The great hero could not tolerate the invasion of foreign enemies, nor could he accept the appearance of internal thieves, and he would not talk about joining the thieves himself. Yue Fei's pursuit of Li Cheng in Jiangnan was like having deep hatred, and he was simply unstoppable. In the end, Li Cheng was really scared and felt unsafe even to take the initiative to surrender. After gritting his teeth, Li Cheng finally started his second half of his life...
On April, at the suggestion of Qin Hui, he was posthumously awarded to He Li, Chen Guoting, Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and others during the Jingkang period.
On the 14th, the 59-year-old Empress Dowager Meng passed away. Zhao Gou cried bitterly and issued an edict to Prime Minister Fan Zongyin and others: You must be kind to the funeral.
On the 17th, the rebel Sang Zhong captured Dengzhou on the southwest road of Jingxi. Before this, the former guardian Tan Yan sent someone to ask for help from Wang Jun, the governor of Ruzhou on the northwest road of Jingxi. After Wang Jun came, Tan Yan got him drunk and abandoned the city and fled to Shu. In this way, Wang Jun became a scapegoat and was killed by Sang Zhong. Later, Sang Zhong appointed Li Heng as the governor of Dengzhou.
On the 1st, Qu Duan, the former general of the Western Army, was tortured by Zhang Jun in Gongzhou on Kuizhou Road. To be honest, Qu Duan did have something to die, but he died unjustly. First, the former commander of Shaanxi, Wang Shu of Qu Duan said that Qu Duan once wrote a poem "Not mentioning the cause of Zhongxing, but came to the river to fly fishing boats." This is a satirizing Zhao Gou, which is a crime of disrespect; then Qu Duan's former subordinate Wu Jie came from the Monk Yuan and wrote four big words "Qu Duan's rebellion" in his palm and quietly spread it to Zhang Jun... Zhang Jun understood it: Very good! He killed him for the crime of treason! Evidence? Is it necessary? I can kill someone if I have it for no reason! Besides, there are these four words in Wu Jie's palm, this is evidence!
Let’s talk about Qu Duan’s way of death: He was locked in an iron cage, sealed his mouth and nose with wax, locked his hands and feet, filled the cage with soju, roasted it with a fire, and roasted Qu Duan to death!
Before his death, Qu Duan had stared at his beloved horse for a while. It was a horse that could "stop four hundred miles a day" Qu Duan sighed to the sky, "I am not willing to die, but I am sorry for the iron elephant." Zhang Jun said without saying anything, and killed the BMW in front of Qu Duan! After sighing at the horse, Qu Duan sighed to the sky again and said the last words of his life, "Don't God let me restore the Central Plains? How regretful?"
From conviction to execution, Qu Duan's death made people feel sympathetic. It is said in history that "the scholars and officials will take care of it, and the military and civilians are also regretful. Jun lost the hearts of the Westerners because of this. Later generations ranked Zhang Jun's killing of Qu Duan and Qin Hui's killing Yue Fei, believing that it was the two biggest unjust cases in the Gaozong Dynasty... In this regard: I can only say: Qu Duan should indeed die, but he should not be killed in such unjustly! This kind of bastard happens in the era of bastards, which makes people feel helpless...
In early May, the first battle of the three major battles in Sichuan and Shaanxi - the Battle of Monk Yuan broke out! Wu Jie finally showed his true nature as a hero, building the most solid barrier for half of the Southern Song Dynasty!
Three elements of defense: terrain, morale, and food. Wu Jie had only the first one, and there was no place for the remaining two. As for morale, before the Jin army could come, someone secretly colluded to launch a mutiny, tied up the Wu brothers and gave them to the Jin army as a meeting gift. On the eve of the mutiny, the guest Chen Yuanyou reported this situation to Wu Jie. Wu Jie was very calm and did not investigate who it was. Instead, he joined all the generals in the next day, and used national justice to transform the crisis into motivation. As for food, it was even simpler. Wu Jie sent his beloved general Yang Congyi to go to the Qinling Mountains and return to Fengxiang, robbed a full 00,000 hu of the Jin army's ration warehouse and transported it back to the monk's land...
After doing all this, the Jin army's offensive finally started! The person who came was called Wanyan Weili, Ulu, and they were very planned and planned to send troops to each other and divide into two groups: Wanyan Weili followed Fengxiang Mansion, Ulu followed Jiezhou, Chengzhou, and then gathered in front of Dasan Pass to attack together.
The problem is that Ulu Zhe was too anxious. When he arrived, Wanyan was still on the road without any he could stand. Then come first and fight first, whoever succeeded is whoever! When thinking about this, Ulu Zhe was a little excited. Military achievements are the top honor in the Jurchen world. Isn’t it easy to capture Wu Jie, who was defeated by Jizhou troops this time? So he attacked at the first time, but after going up the mountain, he found that it was like a tiger biting a piercing wretched, and there was no place to slap! The mountain road near Monk Yuan was rugged, with winding rocks piled up, and the cavalry could only get off their horses and walk, climbing up step by step. After being exhausted, there were waves of heavy rain-like arrows facing him. This battle could not be fought at all!
Ulu finished the intermission and Wanyan was not here. This man was smart and wanted to fight against restraint. He ignored Monk Yuan and went straight to Dasan Pass. He didn't believe that Wu Jie would dare not save him! Go to save? Monk Yuan's natural danger would lose its meaning, and it was no longer the home court!
I thought very well, but unfortunately Dasan Pass itself is also a natural danger, and the pass is so majestic. It has been a long time ago [31 Novel Network �
This was the best way, but it became the biggest nightmare of the Jin army. Wu Jie accurately controlled the actions of the two Jin armies, and the accuracy was unbelievable. Wanyan was not established, and the Ulu army could not form a joint force. He was blocked by Wu Jie to attack the north and then blocked the north and south, but never able to join. In the end, Ulu became popular and attacked Dasan Pass regardless of everything...
He was looking for death! Wu Jie quickly concentrated his superior forces and went out of Dasan Pass to fight with Ulu. The mountains were the home court of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Here, almost everything was tailor-made for the Western Army! Ulu fought and could not win; he fled, had no speed in the mountains, was caught by Yongxing Army, and was killed on the spot! Wanyan did not retreat immediately, and if he continued to fight, he had to throw it on the Qinling Mountains...
The first phase of the Battle of Monk Yuan, the first phase of the Battle of Monk Yuan, ended here! Zhang Jun appointed Wu Jie as the Observer of Mingzhou, and his younger brother Wu Lin as the Training Envoy of Kangzhou. Both brothers were under the jurisdiction of Qin Fenglu, Ma Jin, to control the Song army of Monk Yuan! Prepare to welcome the second phase of the Battle of Monk Yuan!
After this battle, the upper class of the Jin Kingdom was shocked. From Shaanxi to Sichuan was the most important part of the overall strategy of the Jin army. Only by taking Shaanxi with Fuping and attacking Sichuan could we go south along the Yangtze River, sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and then rule the entire Han area... It was linked together, and no level could be missing! And these are now stuck in front of the Dasan Pass between Sichuan and Shaanxi. To be precise, they were stuck by the thousands of people of Wu Jie!
After the three states' army failed, who else should I send? According to the old tradition, Wanyan Loushi should be in battle, and the God of War will take the lead to the victory. But this will never be done!
Back to reality, in addition to the late God of War, the biggest one left in Shaanxi is His Highness the Fourth Prince. By this time, Jin Wushu had escaped from death twice and "turned defeat into victory", which made him very excited. Why not? The battlefield is like a chess game, and life is like a TV series. There must be twists and turns to be watched. Therefore, after a great defeat, the salted fish is doubled and the rare elite! So Wanyan Zongbing urgently gathered the army and prepared to go to the Mon Shangyuan to be beaten by his biggest natural enemy in his life (called Wu Jie as the natural enemy of Jin Wushu, and Yue Fei as the mortal enemy of Jin Wushu... I think it is suitable)!
On the 11th, Li Dunren, a rebel in Qianzhou, was pacified. Guo Zhongwei, the Zhenyang Punishment envoy, was captured by Wang De, general under Liu Guangshi, and was executed. On the 7th, Liu Guangshi recruited Shao Qing to relieve the siege of Taipingzhou. On the 8th, Zhang Jun led Yue Fei and others to cross the river and fought fiercely with Li Cheng in Huangmei County, Qizhou on Huainan West Road. Ma Jin died in battle. Li Cheng stomped his feet and surrendered to the pseudo-Qi. After that, Li Cheng kept resisting Song under Liu Yu's hands. The pseudo-Qi collapsed. He went to the Jin Kingdom to become an official and continued to resist Song. When Yue Fei was in the northern expedition, he tried his best to resist Song. Yue Fei died and he continued to resist Song. This man lived to be 70 years old. He died a year before his death. He was re-official or resisting Song... Why are he so persistent? It is very likely that he was forced by Yue Fei at this time?
On June 14, the large-scale funeral of Empress Dowager Meng was held. On the 16th, Lou Zongliang, the magistrate of Shangyu County, Yuezhou, was specially ordered to go on duty for submitting a memorial to Yan Zongshen’s plan to establish a crown prince.
On the 18th, Zhang Jun's army of rebels came to Dingjiazhou, Ruichang County, Jiangzhou, East Jiangnan Road, and ordered Wang Ruohai to write a letter to the rebel general Li Yunwen and surrender him. Afterwards, Zhang Jun looked through the task list and found that there were too many small leaders and could not count them. There were two other big targets - Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng.
In response to Zhang Yong, Zhang Jun simply did not move, but ordered Yue Fei to write a letter. The letter recalled the "friendship" in Kaifeng City that year. The famous regular army and the rebels killed each other in Kaifeng City during the Du Chong period. The protagonists of the rebels were Zhang Yong and Wang Shan. They won the ending, but they were frightened by Yue Fei during the process. Yue Fei faced tens of thousands of rebels and rushed over with more than 2,000 people, not only defeated more than ten times the enemy, but also killed a main general of the rebels!
Yue Fei asked in the letter: Do you still remember me? Now I am here, you make a decision "if you want to fight, you will go out, and if you don't fight, you will surrender"! After receiving the letter, Zhang Yong only said four words - "If my father is," he surrendered immediately.
On the day, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, formally issued an order: among the descendants of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, 4-5 two- or three-year-old boys from the Bo generation were selected to enter the palace and handed over to the two Zhang Jieyu and Wu Cairen in the harem to prepare for the reign of the year. There are many legends for this imperial edict to appear. Two of the most famous legends were brought back from the distant north by the envoy, and the other was that Zhao Gou suddenly woke up one night and stated:
The envoy version is an impression. After a certain envoy sent by the Southern Song Dynasty to the Jin Kingdom returned to the country, he claimed that he had met Taizu of Song... This shocked the whole country of the Southern Song Dynasty! Zhao Kuangyin, who was invincible and wise, was a legend for the Song Dynasty, an eternal guess: If His Majesty Taizu did not die suddenly, and if the Song Dynasty was inherited by his direct bloodline, would there be still the current embarrassment and desolation?
The messenger had not finished speaking yet! He continued: The Song Taizu he discovered was actually the Emperor of Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai! Because the current emperor of the Jin Kingdom looked exactly the same as Zhao Kuangyin! This quickly formed another argument in the Southern Song Dynasty: he believed that Zhao Kuangyin had built a country alone, but his descendants were in poverty. Not to mention the emperor, he didn't even have ordinary titles, so he wanted to take revenge! He was born in the Jin Kingdom and transformed into Emperor Taizong to abuse the descendants of his third brother who was a bastard!
In contrast, Zhao Gou's dream was a little more direct, because he claimed that he had a close contact with Song Taizu. In the dream, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty suddenly appeared and instantly pulled Zhao Gou back to the Wansui Hall in the wind and snow more than 150 years ago. There, Zhao Gou witnessed everything that happened with his own eyes. After that, Zhao Kuangyin said, "If you want Song Zuo to continue, my descendants must inherit the throne."
The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and Zhao Kuangyin's words are the most important! So the imperial edict was issued like this. The Southern Song government summoned all descendants of the Taizu family in Jiangnan to conduct auditions...
On the 7th, Wanyan Wuqi bought a reward for Duke Hunde Zhao Ji, and Duke Chonghun Zhao Huan's clothes were all sets. Zhao Huan was "joyed and was very kind." Because he was already poor and had no clothes...
This month, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin went to Wangguo Cliff in Yanshan to escape the summer heat. Local Han people plotted to poison Wanyan Zonghan, and Zonghan was almost poisoned to death...
