The catastrophe is coming

Chizhou fell, and the downstream was Wuhu, Taiping Prefecture where Jia Sidao is now located! This forced Jia Sidao to react quickly! Send Sun Huchen to lead more than 70,000 elite troops to Dingjiazhou in Chizhou, Xia Gui led 500 warships to block the river surface, and Jia Sidao himself led the rear army to station in Lugang in Taipingzhou... This arrangement caused the Song army to fall into chaos again!

Xia Gui, a veteran general of the Southern Song Dynasty, was furious! Sun Huchen was just a middle- and lower-level military officer who escorted Jia Sidao to Huangzhou that year. He rose to prominence only because he saved Jia Sidao's life. At this time, Xia Gui was asked to attack Sun Huchen, and Xia Gui felt that it was unprecedented humiliation and could not tolerate it!

The Battle of Dingjiazhou broke out! This was the last battle to gather corps-level combat power in the Southern Song Dynasty! Any rational human would do everything possible to struggle in desperate situations? And the Southern Song Dynasty actually waited quietly for the Yuan army to attack...

As for the reason? It was just a bamboo raft filled with firewood! Boyan claimed to use this to burn the Southern Song navy, so the Southern Song army increased all its attention... to pay attention to when the bamboo raft will be ignited and when it will set sail. Until Boyan felt that the Yuan army had finished resting and could attack! The Yuan army's infantry and cavalry were mixed, and they advanced along the river and crossed the bank. A Shu led the warships to fight against Sun Huchen!

The Yuan army that suppressed half of the world now has sufficient weapons and abundant weapons. They have used Huihuans on the water and land battlefield! The huge rocks that weigh more than 150 kilograms and can smash two or three feet deep pits to the ground fell from the sky. Most of the backbone areas such as the Song army's baggage camp were instantly destroyed! Among them, Sun Huchen was the one who suffered the most damage!

The infantry commander was frightened! I don’t know how many huge rocks hit his feet, and the man quickly lost his mind in panic! At this time, A Shu also started a general attack! Thousands of Yuan army warships "survive straight forward, and the sound moved the world." Although Sun Huchen’s vanguard general Jiang Cai fought to the death with all his might, he was not afraid. It can be said that he was the most brave man during the crisis of the Southern Song Dynasty!

But behind Jiang Cai, Sun Huchen struggled to escape from his fear. He left all his duties behind him! Only two most important things left in his heart - life, concubine! These two things are not far from him, just jump on a boat containing his concubine!

The commander of the infantry army, Sun Huchen, did not hesitate anymore, and did what he thought of! The commander's every move was watched by the entire army! At this time, there were shouts of "Master Bu escaped" on the battlefield of fierce confrontation, "Master Bu escaped." 70,000 elite elites in the Southern Song Dynasty were immediately in chaos and fled with the commander!

Besides, the Song army was originally an advantage in the battle on the water. Most of the Yuan army was small boats, and the Song army's warships were both tall and heavy. Thousands of warships on both sides fought in a melee. Will the winners and losses never occur in a short period of time?

But Xia Gui is still depressed! The emotions of senior officials are very important, and nothing can make them work with emotions. Xia Gui also jumped on a small boat and started running away...

An old sailor next to Xia Gui, rowing the boat very fast, arrived at Lu Port in front of both sides, passing Jia Sidao's ship. The sailor shouted to the top, "The enemy is numerous and we are few, and the situation is not supported." Jia Sidao was very grateful and reminded, and immediately called the gold to withdraw the troops and prepared to retreat! The scene was in a mess, and no one wanted to meet the enemy! And A Shu's Yuan army arrived immediately!

The situation was disastrous! 10,000 Song soldiers rushed to flee, each running for their own lives, and throwing away all their weapons and supplies! The water on the Yangtze River was red that day, and the bodies were filled with corpses! Jia Sidao himself fled for his own desperation, and finally escaped to Jinsha more than 100 miles away!

Xia Gui then arrived, and Jia Sidao quickly summoned him onto the boat to discuss matters. Without saying a few words, Sun Huchen also arrived. The man beat his chest and stamped his feet, cried and shouted, "No one of our troops used his life to fight against the enemy." Xia Gui laughed when he saw this, and his mood improved. "I have fought for a bloody battle, and I have been fighting for a long time." Jia Sidao no longer had a sense of authority at this time, and he didn't even dare to blame the two of them for their defeat! He just asked repeatedly, "What should I do?" Xia Gui laughed, "What else should I fight if the army is like this? You summon the defeated troops, retreat to Yangzhou, and protect the emperor to take refuge at sea. I will defend Huaixi to the death." After saying that, Yang Long left...

Jia and Sun looked at each other, helpless, so they could only hear Xia Gui's boat sailing to Yangzhou. The next day, the upstream soldiers were defeated along the river. Jia Sidao was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to raise the flag to summon him. Unexpectedly, no one responded! The defeated soldiers pointed at the flags and cursed! If Jia Sidao hadn't run fast, he might have been killed by these defeated soldiers!

The Battle of Dingjiazhou ended, and the Southern Song Dynasty lost everything! Even the last comfort card Jia Sidao failed! The extremely sacred "Shi Prime Minister" became a laughing stock in Jiangnan. Someone even wrote a poem specifically "A gong on Dingjiazhou shocked the star Jia from that time. He sent a message to the flatterers in the court, and Duke Zhou has now become Zhou Po."

On the 1st, the Yuan army attacked Raozhou on the East Road of Jiangnan. The magistrate Wan Daotong persuaded the magistrate Tang Zhen to surrender to Yuan. Tang Zhen angrily scolded, "I am willing to live a life of secretly and lose my country." He killed the envoy sent by the Yuan army to surrender! Later, the Yuan army attacked the city, and Tang Zhen died unyieldingly. Wan Daotong opened the city to surrender to Yuan.

On the same day, former Prime Minister Jiang Wanli committed suicide by jumping into the water.

On the Japanese, the Yuan army captured the Linjiang Army on the west road of Jiangnan, and the Zhi army Bao Lian died in battle.

On the 4th, Jia Sidao arrived at Yangzhou, the capital of Huainan East Road. Failure caused people to lose something like power and status. It would also make people gain something like rationality and sober. In the battle of Ding Jiazhou, Jia Sidao's official journey was cut off, and there were shouts of shouting and killing in Lin'an City. With his confidant, Chen Yizhong, the leader of the Tai student who had fought against Ding Daquan, wrote a letter to Empress Dowager Xie, asking to kill Jia Sidao to correct his crime of ruining the country! Xie Daoqing refused! She believed that killing ministers in the failure of a war was something that had never happened since the founding of the Song Dynasty. It was too bloody and too much "losing the courtesy of ministers"

At the same time, Empress Dowager Xie also rejected the letter Jia Sidao sent back from the front line after much trouble! Jia Sidao suggested that she immediately disband the Lin'an court, go out to sea immediately, and re-establish the regime at sea! Jia Sidao's brain regained some rationality. After personally fighting, he was sure that the Southern Song Dynasty could never survive this disaster!

But Xie Daoqing refused again! The old woman's psychology is absolutely traditional. She will never do anything that has not happened before, and she also believes from the heart that it will never happen! This is the case if you don't kill Jia Sidao, and the capital will not move to the sea. The following decision will still be the case if you make the following decision - a decree to the soldiers and horses in the world to serve the king!

What a tradition! Xie Daoqing still believed that this was the world of the past, even the world of the Northern Song Dynasty when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. Soon, reality shocked her to the point of being stunned! The Southern Song Dynasty, which had half of the country, had only three troops to respond to the imperial edict!

One branch is Zhang Shijie of Yingzhou. The other branch is Li Fu, a prison envoy from Jinghu South Road. He had few soldiers, only more than 000. The other branch is from Ganzhou, Jiangnan West Road. The person who responded to the imperial edict was named Wen Tianxiang, who brought nearly 10,000 soldiers... Wen Tianxiang was born in 16 and was 40 years old. After winning the top scorer, he changed his name to Tianxiang. The top resume did not make his career smooth. This man opposed the powerful ministers of each period, demoted, dismissed, and resigned again and again...

The Southern Song Dynasty, which invented and created the most correct and greatest Neo-Confucianism in human history and implemented it for decades, was pitiful compared to the late Northern Song Dynasty! The Empress Dowager personally issued an edict to call for help, and only one person in the country could reach out! Is it sad? Is it pitiful? Is it ridiculous?

Correspondingly, officials at all levels who read the books of sages and spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality have surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty!

Zhang Shijie led his troops to recover Raozhou. On the 5th, Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan West Road and the governor of Ganzhou. On the 7th, Li Fu was appointed as the ambulance of the Jinghu South Road and the governor of Tanzhou. On the 8th, Chen Yizhong was appointed as the chief magistrate of the Privy Council, Zeng Yuanzi was appointed as the co-director of the Privy Council, Wen and Weng were appointed as the clerk of the Privy Council, and Ni Pu was appointed as the clerk of the Privy Council. He also summoned Wang Rong as the envoy of the western Zhejiang and Jiangdong Xuanfu, and lived in the capital for consultation.

At this time, Hao Jing made the most primitive Hongyan message to let Yuan Shizu know that he was imprisoned in the military camp of the Southern Song Dynasty. So Kublai Khan sent Hao Yong and Du Haya, his brothers, to the Southern Song Dynasty, to question the other party for the unreasonable detention of Hao Jing. Chen Yizhong immediately ordered Duan Youli to return to China, who was detained in Zhenzhou Yizhen on Huainan East Road for more than 14 years. Hao Jing became ill as soon as he got on the road and returned to Dadu with illness...

On the 8th, Yuan soldiers attacked Jiading Prefecture on Chengdu Prefecture Road, and Song general Hou Xing died in battle.

On the 9th, the last of the four powerful prime ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty: Jia Sidao was dismissed.

On the 0th, the right prime minister Zhang Jian felt that it was really fatal to be such a large official in such a national crisis, so he became the first high-ranking official to leave without complaint, which also triggered the climax of the high-ranking officials' collective escape...

In the middle of the night on the 0th, Wang Lixin, the Jianghuai recruit, sighed and said, "I still die in Song Dynasty today." He sang generously and sadly, clenched his fists and stroked the case three times in succession, causing him to lose his voice for three days. Three days later, he died with a stern voice.

This month, Zhao Yi, the ambassador of the Yangtze River and the left-behind Jiankang Palace, fled south, Xu ****, Weng Fu, and surrendered to Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Yuke, the governor of Ningguo Prefecture on Jiangnan East Road, and Wu Yi, the governor of Longxing Prefecture on Jiangnan West Road, and escaped to Yuan Dynasty. Meng Zhili, the governor of Taipingzhou Prefecture on Jiangnan East Road, Wang Shan, the governor of Hezhou Prefecture on Huainan West Road, Liu Quan, the governor of Wuwei Army, and Sun Siwu, the governor of Lianzhou Prefecture on Huainan East Road, surrendered to Yuan Dynasty one after another...

This month, Zhang Yanran wrote to Kublai Khan, "Don't perish the Old Testament and detain the envoy, is the crime of the powerful minister Jia Sidao, which is not the crime of the Song lord. You also ask Your Majesty to only punish the minister who is absent from the order, and not to make the Zhao family have no sacrifices." Kublai Khan replied, "You are kind. Since you don't forget the old master, you will be able to assist my family. I have ordered Boyan to follow the army and send Lian Xixian and others to hold a letter to the envoy. If the Song State can regret it and come to follow the past, what's wrong with me? As for the powerful minister Jia Sidao, I have no guilt, will I still make the Zhao family lose their sacrifices? But if he is still obsessed with the worries, it is hard to say what is going on before it happens."

On the 1st of the month, Jia Sidao's confidant, the boss of the Southern Song Dynasty's imperial guards, Han Zhen, the commander in front of the hall, once again asked Empress Dowager Xie to give up Lin'an and avoid the sea. As a result, Chen Yizhong secretly hid the hero on the grounds of summoning to discuss and killed him with the iron vertebrae. Han Zhen's general Li Dashi and others took Han Zhen's mother, wife, and other sons to escape and defected to the Yuan army...

On the other day, Boyan entered Jiankang Prefecture, the capital of Jiangnan East Road. He opened a warehouse to provide relief for grain and sent medical treatment, and the people were very happy. Someone told Boyan more than half a year ago that when Boyan's army had just arrived south, Wang Lixin told Boyan that he suggested killing all Wang Lixin's family. Boyan did not allow "this person has something to say! If he uses it, how can I get here?" He ordered Wang Lixin to be buried with his family. Wang Lixin's son Wang Lin was in Jiankang at this time and refused to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. He walked south to the deep mountains and forests of Fujian and died...

On the same day, Boyan received an imperial edict from Kublai Khan, ordering him to station troops in Jiankang Prefecture and temporarily suspend his march. A Shu was stationed in Yangzhou, the capital of Huainan East Road, and together with Boerhuan and Dachun, the reinforcements from the two Huai Rivers in the Southern Song Dynasty. Shi Zuzhong, the commander of Zhenjiang in the Southern Song Dynasty, surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty.

On the same day, the Southern Song Dynasty court summoned Zhang Jian to return the court. He ordered Liu Jing to guard Wujiang on Pingjiang Prefecture, Liangzhe West Road; Luolin and Zhang Ru guard Dusong Pass on Dusong Pass on the junction of Huzhou and Lin'an Prefecture; Xu Gai and Yu Tianxing guard Si'an Town in Huzhou; Zhao Huai guard Yinlin Dongba on Jiankang Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road.

On the Sunday, the Yuan soldiers attacked Wuxi County, Changzhou, Liangzhe West Road. The magistrate Ruan Ying had to fight. The entire army was wiped out, and Ruan Ying had to jump into the water to commit suicide.

On the 4th, the Southern Song Dynasty court issued an edict to rebel generals Lv Wenhuan, Chen Yi and Fan Wenhu, hoping to negotiate peace with the Yuan Dynasty through the relationship between these traitors.

On the same day, Wang Ying was appointed as the left prime minister and Privy Councilor. The right prime minister Zhang Jian was impeached by the censor Wang Yinglin and was officially dismissed from office. Chen Guo submitted a memorial requesting the exile of Jia Sidao and to punish his accomplices. Weng Yinglong quickly fled. The court issued an edict to arrest Yinglong and imprison him in the Lin'an Prefecture Prison. At the same time, Liao Yingzhong, Wang Ting, Liu Lianggui, You Wen, Zhu Jun, Chen Boda, Dong Pu and others were dismissed.

On the 5th, Emperor Gong of Song issued an edict to punish himself. Chen Yizhong was appointed as the right prime minister and the privy envoy. However, he often disagrees with Wang Rong, the left prime minister and the privy envoy who returned to the court. Yang Wenzhong sighed and said, "The situation is critical. The country and the safety of the people of the Song Dynasty are all in the two prime ministers. There is still such a disagreement. If you don't fight today and don't fight tomorrow. If you don't come again, what's the point of regret?" Gao Side was appointed as the acting Minister of War. He submitted a memorial request: to punish treacherous ministers to thank the world, open up a way to return to heaven, gather talents to help the country, to honor the righteousness and to be strong and cowards, and to exert financial resources to conquer the deceased.

Chen Yizhong requested the establishment of a governor's office in Lin'an, the capital, and ordered all the troops in the world to serve the king. He also ordered the defeated troops to join their troops and unite the army to unite 175,000 internal and external troops.

On the 6th, Wang Yinglong, the governor of Chuzhou on Huainan East Road, surrendered to Yuan Dynasty.

On the 8th, Weng Yinglong was sentenced to the execution of the Jiyang Army on Guangnan West Road. Wang Rong and Chen Yizhong were ordered to command the generals of the Wang Junma.

On the 11th, the Yuan soldiers attacked Changzhou on the western route of Liangzhe. The governor Zhao Yujian fled, and Qian Chi opened the city to surrender. On the 1st, the Yuan soldiers attacked Xihaizhou and Dingshun surrendered. On the 14th, the governor of Donghaizhou Shi Juwenqii surrendered to Xihaizhou. The governor of Pingjiang Prefecture on Liangzhexi Road Qian said that his friends surrendered to Yuan. On the 15th, the governor of Guangde Army on Jiangnan East Road Linghu Guai surrendered to Yuan. Zhang Shijie, who had just received the imperial edict the general governor's office the day before, immediately sent Yan Shun and Li Cun to the Guangde Army; Xie Hongyong marched into Pingjiang Prefecture; Li Shan marched into Changzhou. Afterwards, the Guangde Army was recovered. On the 18th, the court issued an edict: Lu Wenfu, the governor of the five counties, led his troops into the guards. Lu Wenfu killed the envoy and refused to accept the edict.
