The storm is coming
On January 7, 1161, Wanyan Liang ordered that from Zhongdu to Henan, thousands of hunting knights were transferred from various places to command the army, and then selected 5,000 people who were good at shooting, divided into five armies, all of which were repaired silk and armor. Purple furniture was the best, followed by green and brimming. Wanyan Liang often claimed to be "taking Jiangnan, these 5,000 people were enough."
On the 1st of the month, the celestial phenomena changed: the sun had a halo and a sling. Wanyan Liang immediately summoned Ma Guizhong to the Sitian Supervisor Ma Guizhong. "What is the way of heaven recently?" Ma Guizhong replied, "It is his occupation, and the soldiers entered the court of the emperor." Wanyan Liang was very happy. "Now it is about to attack the south, and it is correct." However, Ma Guizhong shook his head, "This is not the prime minister of the emperor's court of the Southern Song Dynasty, but someone entered the court of your majesty. Some are soldiers, or thieves." Wanyan Liang was immediately unhappy. "When the soldiers are in full swing, the small thief cannot be left."
This month, Wanyan Liang left the city of Yanjing, Zhongdu and went south to Kaifeng City. He was preparing to move the capital and expedition to the south...
On the 9th of the month, Yang Chun was promoted to the position of the Chief Secretary of the State Council. On the 17th, the Secretary of the Shangshu Right Pushe Chen Kangbo was promoted to the Secretary of the Shangshu Left Pushe, and the Chief Secretary of the Shangshu Zhuo was promoted to the position of the Secretary of the Shangshu Right Pushe.
On the 0th, Wanyan Liang arrived in Henan Prefecture.
On April 1, the Southern Song Dynasty court finally realized that the Jin people were determined to defeat the alliance, and war was inevitable, so they made some pre-war preparations. They ordered the generals of the two Huai Rivers to separate the painting circles and defend themselves. They arranged civil society and increased the walls to accumulate grain. At that time, the commanders of the army in front of the imperial army were Wu Lin, Yao Zhongshu Xingyuan, Wang Yanshu Hanyin, Li Dao serted to Jingnan, Tian Shizhong serted to Ezhu, Qi Fang serted to Jiujiang, Li Xianzhong serted to Chiyang, Wang Quan serted to Jiankang, and Liu Qi serted to Zhenjiang, and the barriers were facing each other. Only the important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Xiangyang, which was guarded by Yue Family Army, was not prepared for war, so they urgently promoted Wu Gong, the son of Wu Jie, to be the prefect of Xiangyang, and led a thousand Wu family troops to guard Xiangyang.
On the 5th, Wanyan Liang ordered all civil and military officials to go to Kaifeng to manage the affairs first. The Shangshu Province, the Privy Council, the Dazong Zhengfu, the Public Agricultural Department, the Taifu, and the Shaofu all followed him. The officials of the four departments of officials, households, soldiers, and the Sifang Hall, the Dushui Supervisor, and the Dali Department each left one to accompany him.
Afterwards, Wanyan Liang appointed Gao Jingshan, and Wang Quan was the chief and deputy envoy to celebrate Song's birthday. Before he went on an envoy, Wanyan Liang specifically instructed Wang Quan, "When you see the Song Lord, you will face the crimes and ask for his ministers and the land of the Huai and Han dynasties. If you do not follow, you will slander them sternly. He will not dare to harm you." He instructed Gao Jingshan, "After returning, report all Wang Quan's words and actions."
On the 8th, Wanyan Liang continued to go south from Henan Prefecture. On the 15th, he arrived at the hot springs in Ruzhou. He sent envoys to recruit various troops. During a hunting trip, he suddenly encountered a running deer. Wanyan Liang caught off guard and vomited blood for several days...
This month, Zhou Linzhi and Su Hua were appointed as chief and deputy chief, Dajin, for his daily life, went to congratulate Wanyan Liang on his move to the capital. Su Hua suddenly died before he even set off, so Zhang Lun replaced him.
On May 4, the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan and Wang Quan entered the country. This time the envoy was the only exception since the peace talks between the Song and Jin and Shaoxing. In the past ten years, the Jurchens have become very Khitan. The envoys sent by both sides every year can be as polite as when the Song and Liao Dynasty established diplomatic relations. Like Shi Yisheng last time, he could talk about brush and ink across the table, travel around the mountains and rivers, draw and draw, and be artwork. But this time, different, Gao Jingshan and Wang Quan acted arrogantly. Until this time, Zhao Gou believed that the other party really had the intention of the Chongqing alliance!
On the 8th, the consequences of Wanyan Liang's national conscription finally broke out! In addition to the Jurchens, Han, Xi, Khitan, Bohai and other ethnic minorities were also on the list of conscription. These already very miserable deceased people were forced to separate their wives and children to go to the battlefield. When the sense of suffering and the sense of death accumulated to a certain extent, resistance naturally occurred! The first Khitan uprising broke out vigorously under the leadership of Saba! At the beginning, Wanyan Liang did not pay special attention and sent the right general Xiao Tula to suppress the rebellion...
On the 19th, Gao Jingshan, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Quan entered the Zichen Hall. Wang Quan followed Wanyan Liang's will and was stern in the face of Zhao Gou, and the conditions proposed were only a little worse than when Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was about to fall. Wanyan Liang stated that he was very puzzled by the previous Shaoxing peace agreement clauses and considered it for a long time. He didn't know what the fourth uncle of Wanyan Zongbi, the commander of the Jin army, thought about it at that time. He didn't understand why King Donghun had not changed it in the past ten years? Now, he made new requests to the Southern Song Dynasty:
1The Huaihe River Basin returned to the Jin Kingdom, and the two countries were bounded by the Yangtze River.
The sect leader should readjust the policy, and the country under Jiangnan was descending from the vassal state immediately sent ministers to Kaifeng to report and participate in the study class. The candidates for ministers are not allowed to be just a fuss, and I personally designate them: the current Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Tang Situi, the second Prime Minister Chen Kangbo (in fact, Tang Situi had already abolished prime minister at this time, and Chen Kangbo was the prime minister), the Privy Councilor Wang Lun, and the commander of the Imperial Army, Yang Cunzhong, came.
The Duke of Tianshui County died.
Zhao Gou heard the first two points clearly, and chose to ignore the third point. Is he dead? Duke of Tianshui County? Is it related to me? The first thing that flashed through his heart was a rare anger! Why do I say that I am also an emperor? I have been quite respectful to the Jin Kingdom over the years? Why did he not give me any face and suddenly kill me?
Putting aside the entire Huaihe River Basin, just four top ministers, especially their confidants who rely on Yang Cunzhong, these people went to Kaifeng to be purely a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Zhao Gou, who became more and more angry, said coldly, "Is the Jin envoy from a prominent family? Why don't there be any etiquette?"
However, Wang Quan jumped up and shouted in a louder voice, "Zhao Huan is dead." The whole palace was silent, and everyone was stunned! The Duke of Tianshui County originally refers to Song Qinzong Zhao Huan? Song Jin was far apart, and Song Qinzong was a top-notch *******. The news of his death was spread by the official after 5 years. At this moment, most Southern Song officials confirmed the death of the captured emperor for the first time...
Zhao Gou's face changed drastically, and he immediately got up and turned into the back hall. There was chaos behind him, and Wang Quan was still resolutely yelling, "I'm here to negotiate major affairs between the two countries, why don't you pay attention to me?"
The civil servants were collectively silent, as if they were paying silence to Emperor Qinzong as soon as possible. At the critical moment, a general of the imperial guard Li Heng stood up and stopped Wang Quan!
Another general, Liu Yan, reminded Prime Minister Chen Kangbo, "This Jin envoy brought the news of the death of the late emperor, and the tea and wine treatments that should be given as usual should be exempted." Prime Minister Chen had a expressionless face, "You go and tell the emperor about this matter yourself." After saying that, he continued to observe silently...
Liu Yan walked around the screen in the hall and found that the emperor was not far away. Zhao Gou stood alone, his body bent, and big tears kept flowing down...
Regarding this scene, most historical books interpreted that Zhao Gou was afraid. His cowardly genes collapsed in the face of unprecedented threats. His relatives' deaths were so scared that he could not control himself, which led to crying on the spot... But I personally think that's not. Zhao Gou is cowardly, but this child was frightened. Since his teenage years, he has always lived on the blade and danced on the edge of the death cliff. What hasn't he seen before? As for a threat, he was frightened? This is unrealistic!
His crying was because he finally confirmed the death of his brother from the official office... The two emperors of Hui and Qin were his long-term heart disease. As long as these two people were still alive, he was a fake, a usurper, and a fake! He was worried over the years. In the south of the Yangtze River, someone mentioned welcoming the Two Saints, and he had to smile and praise. In the north, the Jin Kingdom often talked about Zhao Huan, which made him unable to sleep or eat. This is an open secret, and anyone can feel his psychological torment?
But now, Song Qinzong finally died... The brotherhood of many years ago suddenly surged into his heart. Who can be ruthless without plants? Even if Zhao Gou is cold and weak, he will inevitably be sad... This is probably the little bit of residual human nature he showed as a person...
At the same time, the Southern Song Dynasty court began to face the threat from the north and began to discuss the strategy of dispatching troops to defend the Jianghuai River... On the day, the prime ministers urgently summoned Zhao Mi, Cheng Min, Li Peng and Grand Tutor Yang Cunzhong of the Imperial Army Office to go to the capital hall to discuss the recruitment of troops. Then they immediately ordered Ling Jingxia, Wang Yingchen, Qian Duanli, Jin Anjie, Zhang Yun, Huang Zushun, Yang Bangbi, Yu Yunwen, Wang Che, Liu Du, Chen Junqing and other attendants, and censors came to gather for discussion.
Chen Kangbo first spoke out, "I will not ask about peace and defense today, but directly ask how the war should be done." The result of the discussion, and everyone unanimously decided to send Cheng Min to lead all the imperial guards to organize defenses in the upper reaches of Xiangjiang River. Only Yu Yunwen opposes "There is no need to send so many troops, and the enemy will not go down from the upper reaches. For fear that the imperial guards will be less and the court will be weak, and there will be no soldiers to be used for the two Huai Rivers in different times." The prime ministers refused to listen on the grounds that the tycoon master was in Ruzhou, fearing that he would go to the Han Dynasty and go south.
At noon, Emperor Gaozong of Song issued an edict to send a funeral to Emperor Qinzong of Song.
At this time, the Chao Ren was in full swing, some people thought of escaping, some insisted on fighting, some were scared and lost their composure, etc. Only one person was very calm - Zhao Gou!
He experienced too many dangers in his life. He became a doctor after a long illness and was already very proficient in this matter. He rationally compared the current situation with the past, and knew that the big thing had been gone, and he could destroy his country...
If the Northern Song Dynasty had spiritual destruction but no physical parameters were required to perish, the Southern Song Dynasty now actually met all the conditions for perishment!
The military system of the Southern Song Dynasty had collapsed for a full decade since the killing of Yue and Han in 1141. During this period, all the famous generals of the Zhongxing revival were withered, and the former elite soldiers had long been old. Under the management of Qin Hui, there was no mention of the successors. Not to mention the morale of the people, there are still people who are thinking about revenge. Are the Northern Expeditions? Even Yue Fei's name has become a taboo. What ambition and recovery can you hope for?
For a whole decade, the world finally became what Zhao Gou wanted. He really succeeded, but suddenly he had nothing! Because of his master, his sect leader no longer wanted to raise him, this dog! It was that simple! All his efforts, perseverance, and dedication lost their meaning! I wonder what he felt at this time, would he doubt his IQ? He didn't even know that there was no eternal peace between the two countries?
Perhaps he would always remember the happy marriage between Song and Liao, but he had no life and no blessing! The most important thing is that his brain was calcified and he forgot that the reason why Song and Liao were able to have peace for a hundred years was because Song Zhenzong personally conquered Chanyuan and shot Xiao Talin to death, forcing the Liao Kingdom to have to be harmonious and dare not disagree! This is completely different from his wagging tails and begging for mercy! It is completely different from his wagging tails and begging for mercy!
Anyway, he was sober at this time that everything was over, and there was no other way except to escape. So where? Sichuan... or the sea? The Minister of the Eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Department Zhang Qu secretly retreated to him to avoid Fujian and Shu. Fortunately, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty was not Tang Sigui, but Chen Kangbo, who was strongly committed to the war. "The enemy's country was defeated, and the heavens and men were angry! Today's affairs, there is advancement but no retreat! If the saint's intention is firm, the soldiers' aura will be doubled. I am willing to divide the three yamen to ban brigades, help Xiang and Han troops. Wait for them to take the first step, and then respond." Huang Zhong firmly advocated the use of troops. "The court has been in harmony with Jin for more than 20 years. I have never spoken for a day, and he has never forgotten to fight in a day. I have taken my annual monies and ate the soldiers. Fortunately, I have stripped my soul and asked him to leave his words to warn His Majesty, and only the sages are concerned."
On the day, Wu Lin was urgently promoted to Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy, and jointly defended Sichuan and Shaanxi with Sichuan Punishment and General Administration Wang Gangzhong. Zhao Gou also issued an edict to "send 500 troops from Kuizhou Road to station in Xiazhou. Once there is a police officer in Jingnan, he will order Kuizhou Road to assist him in person."
On the 4th, Zhao Gou personally summoned Cheng Min, the boss of the Ma Army, and ordered Cheng Min to lead his ten thousand troops to Wuchang to defend the important areas of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. He ordered Hubei Cao ministers and Ezhou guards to build 10,000 village houses to station a large army. The queen of heaven ordered the gathering of strategic materials: Jiangxi, Jiangxi, Huguang Changping, Huguang Changping, and Huguang Changping Yi Cang 60,000 stones of rice, and 100,000 stones of material, and sent to Huguang front line for later use.
On the 7th, Gao Jingshan, Wang Quan and others bid farewell.
On the 8th, Zhao Gou issued an edict: The crossbowmen of the imperial guards of the five counties in eastern Zhejiang quickly rushed to Mingzhou, commanded by the coastal commander Chen Gai; the counties in western Zhejiang, Qu, and Wu were rushed to Pingjiang Prefecture, commanded by Li Bao, deputy general manager of western Zhejiang; the counties in Jiangdong rushed to Chizhou, and Li Xianzhong was commanded by Li Jian, and the counties in Fujian rushed to Taipingzhou, and Chen Min was commanded by Chen Min; the counties in Jiangxi rushed to Jiangzhou, and Qi Fang was commanded by Qi; the counties in the two lakes were not bordered to Jingnan Prefecture, and Li Dao... The armies quickly arrived in place and entered a state of emergency in war!
On June 1, Chen Junqing, the censor of the Palace, was appointed as the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of War. When he heard the drum beat, he thought of a good general. Who else could be used after 0 years? Chen Junqing recommended Zhang Jun again. Zhao Gou replied, "The talent is miserable. He can command the whole way, and it may be worthwhile; if he supervises the army again, he will definitely be defeated." Chen Junqing said, "Everyone thinks Jun is good, why don't you try it?" Will Zhang Jun be used again? No! No! Fuping was defeated, and the Huaixi Army has become vivid in my mind. How can such a person be useful? So who else? At least there are still a few people in China that can be expected. For example, Li Xianzhong, this is a famous general of a generation; for example, Wu Lin, this is the chief general of the Wu family army who is as famous as the Yue family army...
