Chapter 43 Section 2 Elimination of the Northern Song Dynasty

Wanyan Zonghan insisted on going to war against the Song Dynasty, not only for power and wealth, but also for an unknown personal reason that made him insist on going south to destroy the Song Dynasty.So what is this hidden personal reason? There is another reason why Wanyan Zonghan actively advocated war against the Song Dynasty. His wife Xiao was originally the concubine of Emperor Tianzuo. She was captured during his war with Liao, and then she took it for herself and did not hand it over to the organization. .Zong Han married the concubine of Emperor Tianzuo, and another Jurchen general, Zong Wang, married the daughter of Emperor Tianzuo.These concubines and princesses of the former dynasty were in the pain of subjugation and family loss, and this hatred was vented on the Song Dynasty.If it weren't for your Song Dynasty's violation of the alliance, abandoning the century-old friendship between the two countries, and helping the tyrant, our Daliao would not have come to this point.Therefore, these two people often told Zong Wang and Zong Han that they must send troops to teach the treacherous Song Dynasty a lesson.It is said that Zongwang's wife often used domestic violence, and Zongwang thought hard about how to get rid of domestic violence and please his wife.That is, we will do whatever Madam tells us to do, if we want to attack the Song Dynasty, we will fight the Song Dynasty.The former ministers of the Liao Kingdom who surrendered gold had exactly the same thoughts as the concubines and princesses, and they were all eager to seek revenge from the Song Dynasty.After the war between the Jin and Song Dynasties, the surrenders of the Liao Kingdom, regardless of whether they were Khitan, Bohai or Han, seemed to treat the Song Dynasty worse than the Jurchens.This is revenge. You destroyed our country, and you will not end well!Now it is the Jin Kingdom's ruling area from top to bottom, unanimously calling for war against the Song Dynasty.

In this case, Wanyan Wu Qimai had no choice but to obey the public opinion, not to mention that Wanyan Wu Qimai himself had no feelings for the Song Dynasty.In addition, an extremely sensational event was also recorded in the history books.It is said that when the envoys of the Song Dynasty went to the Kingdom of Jin, they were shocked after seeing Wanyan Wu Qimai. They said that Wanyan Wu Qimai looked exactly like Emperor Song Taizu, so some people said that Wanyan Wu Qimai was the reincarnation of Song Taizu.After the death of Song Taizu, Song Taizong succeeded to the throne.The shadow of the candle and the sound of the axe, the mystery of the ages, Song Taizong may have killed his brother to succeed him.Whether it is true or not, this is an eternal mystery, and the truth may never be revealed.Later, Song Taizu's sons did not end well, and Song Taizu's three brothers, apart from Taizu, Taizong, and Wei Wang Tingmei, Wei Wang also did not end well.From then on, the throne of the Northern Song Dynasty has been inherited by Taizong's lineage, and Huizong is a descendant of Taizong, so it is said that Wanyan Wu Qimai is the incarnation of Song Taizu, who came to seek revenge on Song Taizong's descendants.Of course, such records may be completely far-fetched, even absurd.

Wanyan Wu Qimai ordered the attack on Song Dynasty. Of course, you can’t say that if you don’t give food, I will beat you. There are three excuses: First, the Northern Song Dynasty recruited surrenders and accepted rebels. A typical example is Zhang Jue. Second, the Northern Song Dynasty did not pay regular coins.The Northern Song Dynasty once promised to give gold the 500,000-year-old coins given to Liao every year, but at this time the Northern Song Dynasty did have difficulties, and the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated in two wars with Liao.The Northern Song Dynasty went to war with gold and silver treasures, because it learned the lesson of Taizong’s war against the Northern Han Dynasty, and did not reward the three armies after the battle, and the soldiers quit, so these two times they went with things, ready to fight After that, the bounty was issued, but all the bounty was seized by Liao, and later fell into the hands of Jin.As far as Yanjing is concerned, Jin Guo wants 1 million yuan, Xijing needs 3 million yuan, and food, but of course it was not given later.Jin Guo also moved the population of Youyun Sixteen States away.Under such circumstances, it is indeed very difficult for the Song Dynasty to pay the old coins.But Jin doesn't care about that, you should pay the old currency and you didn't pay it on time. This is my excuse for hitting you.

Third, the quality of the year coins that have been paid is too poor.The Kingdom of Jin believed that the tax money from Yanjing and Xijing given by the Song Dynasty was crude and bad, the silver was impure, and the cloth would shrink in water. Using this as an excuse, Wanyan Wu Qimai established the Marshal's Mansion in Huining Mansion in Shangjing, and his younger brother and heir to the throne, Wanyan Xie, also served as Marshal of the Du, and attacked the Song Dynasty in two directions.The generals leading the two routes are Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zonghan is Aguda's nephew, and Wanyan Zongwang is Aguda's biological son. These two serve as left deputy marshal and right deputy marshal respectively.When the two Jin armies went south, the famous Jingkang Incident occurred in history. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.The detailed process has been mentioned in my book, so I won't go into details here.

After the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, there was such a situation: the war to destroy Liao and Song Dynasty was too smooth, and the people of Jin Kingdom turned out to be like a little thin man, who opened his mouth and clicked a mouthful, Liao Kingdom swallowed it, and took another mouthful , Song also swallowed it, but he suffered from indigestion because he didn't have such a big appetite.How many Jurchens were there in total?There are only a few hundred thousand troops, and they don't have such a big appetite to annex a territory that is several times or ten times larger than themselves.The civilization of these two empires was much more developed than that of Jin, and the cultural level was much higher than that of Jin. They were overthrown so quickly, and the people of Jin were a little at a loss and lost the objects to learn from.If you fight against Liao for a long time, you can learn the system of Liao. Now Liao will be wiped out soon. The level of civilization of Liao is higher than mine, and I will destroy it. I don’t need to learn from Liao.Why should I learn from my defeated generals?Song's level is higher than Liao's, and I eliminated him, so I don't need to learn from Song.In this way, the Jurchens are at a loss, what is Dajin's next step?You must walk the right path, and you must not be evil!
