Chapter 96 The fourth quarter show favor to Song

At this time, the Kingdom of Jin did not want to go to war with the Song Dynasty because of the domestic situation and the war in northern Mongolia, so it repeatedly backed down from the provocations of the Song Dynasty, which made Han Tuozhou more confident.But fighting requires preparations in all aspects, including the army, food and grass, etc. So is the Song Dynasty really ready to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin this time? The Song Dynasty prepared for the war in several aspects, and the public opinion was well prepared: Qin Hui was deprived of his title, his tombstone was pushed down, and his posthumous title was changed to absurd.Yue Fei was conferred the title of King of Hubei, and it is recorded in historical records: "Fei was granted the posthumous posthumous title of Wu Mu first, so Han Yuzhou wanted to encourage the generals, so he was conferred the title." He had already given the posthumous title of Wumu, and in order to motivate the generals, Han Tuozhou chased Yue Fei as king of E.Public opinion preparations have been made, and financial preparations have also been made. The Song Dynasty was very rich, but it did not make military preparations.The whole court is full of civil servants, who are you pointing at to fight?The Song Dynasty hadn’t fought wars for more than forty years. Wen Tian and Wu Xi played together, and Lu You wrote poems back then: “For fifteen years under the Herong Dynasty, the generals will not fight. "Guan Shanyue") means that there has been no war for fifteen years, and the horses raised in the stables are not walked all day, they are fat to death, and the bowstrings are broken.Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to train a new force, and it is difficult to reach the sky.No matter how weak the Jin army is, it always fights against the northern Tatars and often fights against powerful enemies. It can train a strong team, and what's more, it has cultivated a group of famous generals, such as Pu Sankui, Wanyan Xiang, and Wanyan Zonghao.I searched all over the Song Dynasty, but I couldn't find such a famous general.

Han Tuozhou also knows, how can we fight against the Kingdom of Jin without famous generals in our dynasty?I have to look through the roster of military generals, looking for famous generals, not to mention, I really found someone—Wu Xi, Wu Lin's grandson.It was the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin who defeated the Jin army on the Sichuan-Shanxi battlefield.After Wu Lin defeated the Kingdom of Jin, he kept guarding Shu. After Wu Lin died, his son Wu Ting took over and guarded Shu.The imperial court saw that this had become a separatist force, and the descendants of the Wu family guarded the land of Shu for generations. How could this be possible?The ministers suggested to the court that after Wu Ting's death, he must not let his descendants enter Shu as generals.Therefore, Wu Xi was transferred to the central government after his father's death, and served as the deputy commander in front of the temple, which is equivalent to the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, but in name only, he no longer leads troops at the grassroots level.Wu Xi felt that the capital was very depressed, so it was better for him to be a vassal in his hometown of Shu where he wanted wind and rain.But Wu Xi had a brain, and spent a lot of money to bribe Han Dongzhou's cronies.These cronies suggested to Han Yuzhou that Wu Xi is available, and after two generations of generals, he is the only general available to our court now.As soon as Han Tuozhou heard this, he let the tiger go back to the mountain, asked Wu Xi to go back to Shu to train troops, and made him the governor of the capital.As soon as Wu Xi went back, he defected at the most difficult time in the Southern Song Dynasty.Therefore, in the Southern Song Dynasty, all measures were prepared, public opinion and finance, but only one point was ignored, which was military, which was precisely the most important point.However, rumors of the Southern Song Dynasty's rise of troops and the Northern Expedition have already spread.

Jin Zhangzong summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to ask for advice. The Southern Song Dynasty wanted to make a northern expedition. Everyone discussed how to deal with it?The ministers told Emperor Zhangzong that it was impossible. The Southern Song Dynasty was weak for a long time and fought so many battles with us. When did he take advantage?Rest assured, His Majesty, he will not really send troops to the Northern Expedition.Only the clan Wanyan Kuang, who is also a famous general, said: "If you set up a loyal and loyal army, take the ancestors to open treasures, and the Tianxi era, don't you forget the Chinese!" 7) People in the Song Dynasty established an army called the Zhongyi Baojie Army. The year name was taken from the era of the ancestor Kaibao Tianxi, and the year name of Taizu Taizong was used to prove that he did not forget China. This China refers to the Central Plains. I think Restore the Central Plains.Jin Zhangzong also felt that he had to prepare troops, so he sent Pingzhang servant Sankui to establish a province in Bianjing and garrison troops just in case.Emperor Zhangzong repeatedly restrained the troops of the Kingdom of Jin and did not allow them to cross the border.At that time, the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty frequently crossed the border to provoke, but Emperor Zhangzong said that if the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty crossed the border and provoked, we would not fight back, and we would not fight back when we scolded. If you don't know about soldiers, you can't" (Volume 157 of "Continued Zizhi Tongjian").He also told the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin that if you go to the Song Dynasty in the future, we will not choose where to live, where to disembark, where to disembark, and reception specifications, as long as you don’t annoy the Song Dynasty.However, the Song army frequently crossed the border to plunder, and it was not a large force. There were hundreds or thousands of people, and sometimes tens of thousands of people came, went deep into the golden realm, and withdrew once they robbed.This kind of thing happened again and again, and even a strong protest could not be protested.Emperor Zhangzong felt that he needed to say a few heartfelt words to the emperor of Song Dynasty.The North and the South have been reconciled for more than forty years, and the people don't know the soldiers. Let's stop doing this. What's the point?You rushed over to grab something and left, I ignored you, you kicked your nose and smacked your face, and came again. "Jin Shi Zhang Zong Benji" records that when Song envoys came to the state of Jin to congratulate Zhengdan, and when the Song envoys were about to return home, Jin Zhangzong specially gave a banquet and told the envoys of the Song Dynasty: "At the beginning of Dading, Shizong Xu Songshi was the nephew country, I have complied until now." My grandfather allowed your country to be my nephew, and I have always complied. "I don't think there are thieves in Erguo who repeatedly invaded our borders, so I sent ministers to appease Henan." I didn't expect your country to invade our borders all the time. "When the Duke of Deer moved.... I will be dismissed immediately." Your country came to the official document and told me that it was a bandit crossing the border. I saw that it was a bandit, not your officers and soldiers, so I was nothing more than a soldier. "Not long ago, the thieves are worse than the day before yesterday.... I have been reconciled for a long time, and I am reluctant to tolerate it. I am afraid that my nephew Emperor Song may not know the details.... When you return to the country, you should express my intentions to your lord." I didn't expect you The country is endless, I think it is not easy for the two countries to reconcile for so many years, so I endure the grievances, I swallow my teeth, I am not as knowledgeable as you.But I don't know if my nephew knows about all this painstaking work. After you return to China, tell my nephew that his uncle said a few heartfelt words to him to calm him down.

After returning to the country, the envoy told Han Tuozhou and Song Ningzong all these words in detail. When the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers heard it, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was so soft, that's great.Han Tuozhou thought about it, such a soft persimmon made me cringe. After the big victory, my status as a grand teacher will be consolidated, and I will be promoted to a noble position.He put Jin Zhangzong's good intentions behind him.
