Chapter 100 The third quarter fight for the head

After quelling Wu Xi's rebellion, the Southern Song Dynasty heaved a sigh of relief and finally eradicated the hidden dangers.Next, the Southern Song Dynasty still adopted the approach that peace is the most important thing in its attitude towards Jin, and sent envoys to discuss peace.So, what is the attitude of the Golden State Council on this? The Kingdom of Jin saw the envoy of the Song Dynasty coming. In order to frighten him, he sent soldiers to surround the envoy with sharp knives and asked him to promise five things: "Return the captives, return the money, send the leader back, proclaim the vassal, and cede the land" ( "Song History Fang Xinru Biography").The Song Dynasty wanted to profess its ministers, cede the land, send the culprit, compensate the military expenses of the Jin State, and return the Jin Army prisoners and those who escaped from the Jin State. Only by agreeing to these five things can peace be negotiated.Song envoy Fang Xinru was unyielding, and the generals of the Kingdom of Jin had to lock him up.Emperor Zhangzong told the generals of the Kingdom of Jin that the purpose of peace talks between the two countries is that it is meaningless for you to detain the envoys.Negotiations have to go on, how do you hold the envoys to talk?Hurry up and put Song Envoy back, and let him tell the Song court about our conditions.So Fang Xinru was sent back to the country. Han Yuzhou asked him what conditions the people of the Jin Kingdom had put forward. Fang Xinru said: "Five things the enemy wants: cut off the two Huaihe Rivers for one, increase the old coin for two, reward the army for three, ask for return, etc. Four people, five dare not speak." ("Song Shi Fang Xinru Biography") The fifth thing I dare not say.Han Yuzhou was so anxious that he even urged you to speak up!Fang Xinru said slowly, the Jin people want your head.Han Yuzhou was furious immediately, "seized the third rank and lived in Linjiang Army" ("Song Shi Fang Xinru Biography"), and demoted Fang Xinru from the court.

Han Yuzhou acted very perversely.You think, it is the people of the Jin Kingdom who want your head, not Fang Xinru. He has gone through all kinds of hardships in the Jin Dynasty and came back from a narrow escape, but he ended up like this. Who would dare to contribute to the court in the future?Based on the condition of "wanting your head", Han Yuzhou resolutely refused to agree to negotiate a peace with Jin Guo, and wanted to fight Jin Guo to the end.At this time, he was not fighting for face, but for his head.Han Tuozhou was filled with evil spirits, he cleaned up the remnants of the defeated generals, instructed Sichuan to prepare for the war, and recruited new soldiers in the Lianghuai area.He appointed Xin Qiji to serve as the Privy Council's decree, don't you love war the most?Tell me all day about the Northern Expedition, okay, since you are so knowledgeable about soldiers, let me show you what you can do.Mr. Xin was very excited when he received the edict, and he wrote a piece of "Broken Array" in one go: "Looking at the sword with the lamp on while drunk, and dreaming of blowing the trumpet in the company. Eight hundred miles of fire under the command, fifty strings turning outside the fortress, the battlefield Autumn order soldiers. Horses are flying fast, and bows are like thunderbolts. Ending the king's affairs in the world and winning fame in life and after death, it is a pity." I am already this age, and I have just been appointed to the Imperial Academy. It is a pity. .In fact, for Xin Qiji, fortunately, it happened in vain, why?He died before taking office. If he didn't die, Xin Qiji would be 100% a scapegoat in the war.

Han Tuozhou was very frustrated. I finally appointed a famous general, but he died before he took office.What to do about this?
