Chapter 113 Section 2 Song-Jin War

The Southern Song Dynasty refused to pay the old coins, which gave Jin an excuse to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.The Southern Song Dynasty knew that the strength of Jin Guo was not as good as before, and the monarchs and ministers were not afraid of Jin Guo. Both sides seemed to have a plan.As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one must be injured, so who will win this time? The Southern Song Dynasty had expected the Jin Kingdom to send troops, because the Southern Song Dynasty knew that if they refused to pay the old coins, the people of the Jin Kingdom would definitely turn their backs.As a result, the friendly relationship between the two sides, which had been maintained for a few years, broke down and the fight officially started.

The Jin army used to fight successive battles with the Southern Song Dynasty, and the generals of the Jin Kingdom are holding back a fire in their hearts. I found out in Mongolia, and I want to get back the place with the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Jin army launched a fierce attack on the Song army at the beginning of the war, and it got off to a good start.Soon after the Jin army penetrated into the Song Dynasty, the situation changed.At the beginning of the war, the Jin army suddenly launched an attack, and the Song army was caught off guard and retreated steadily.As soon as the Song Army's front stabilized, the two sides entered a stalemate, and the progress of the battle was not as smooth as the Jin Army expected.Jin Xuanzong regretted this stalemate a little: he didn't expect Shuhu Gao Qi to speak out of line. He said that it would be easy to fight the Song Dynasty, but now the two sides are stalemate on the front line.The Mongolian army in the north is pressing down on the border, watching it covetously, but now the main force of our army is fighting the Southern Song Dynasty, why are we fighting the Southern Song Dynasty?Xuanzong wanted to talk about peace.

At this time, Li Quan, a Han in Shandong, led an uprising. The rebel army wore red coats, known as the Red Coat Army.Li Quan took the initiative to contact the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that I was anti-gold and wanted to submit to the court.The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was overjoyed. It did not expect that there would be such a loyal person in Shandong after a hundred years of occupation, and named Li Quan as the deputy envoy of appeasement.Li Quan's red-coated army launched frequent attacks behind the Jin army's front line, cutting off the Jin army's food roads, and beating the Jin army exhausted.Jin Xuanzong had no choice but to send someone to recruit Li Quan.What official did the Southern Song Dynasty give you?Appease the Deputy Envoy, right?I will give you a pacification ambassador, you surrender to me, don't fight.Unexpectedly, Li Quan was very upright, saying that he would rather be a ghost of the Jianghuai River than a minister of the Kingdom of Jin, and he would hit you.At this moment, the whole Kingdom of Jin was dumbfounded, the Mongols suppressed the border, the anti-Gold armed forces in the interior surged, and the war with the Southern Song Dynasty formed a stalemate again.

At this time, Xuanzong had no choice but to say, negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, and send envoys to enter the Song Dynasty to negotiate.I was wronged by treacherous ministers, and I started a war with you in a single thought. I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, let's stop fighting.At this time, the Song Dynasty had to be reasonable and not let people go, so what did they do early?Think about it now and make peace with me.Emperor Ningzong instructed the frontier generals not to send gold envoys into the country, and to go back wherever they came from.You want to negotiate peace with others, but they will not let you enter the country.Xuanzong was furious, and in order to force peace with war, he ordered the army to continue to go south again.The Jin army came with courage, and it went smoothly at first, but as long as the fighting stopped for a while, the Song army could stabilize the front line, and the war would enter a stalemate.After so many repetitions, at the beginning it was Jin who had the upper hand, but the result was that Jin could not finally resolve the war.After all, the national strength of the Song Dynasty was intact, unlike the Jin Kingdom, where rivers and mountains were broken. Many famous generals either died in battle, surrendered, or were dismissed during the battle against Mongolia.After several rounds of competition, the Jin army was at the end of its strength and was unable to launch a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty.So the Song army began to counterattack. In the battle of Xiangyang, more than 30,000 Jin soldiers were killed.After this great victory, the people of Song swept away their fear of fighting against the Kingdom of Jin, and turned to dare to fight. It turned out that the people of the Kingdom of Jin were not invincible. The army was completely wiped out.The Song Dynasty saw that the situation was very good. Since it was not impossible for the Jin people to fight, if they didn't fight now, when would they wait?Jin Xuanzong's battle made Jin lose all its advantages over the Southern Song Dynasty. Originally, the Jin country could not fight against Mongolia, but it still had an advantage over Song Dynasty. This advantage has become a thing of the past.The matter between the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia is over, and such an irreconcilable enemy country has been provoked. At this time, the psychological balance of the Song Dynasty has begun to tilt towards Mongolia, and it wants to deal with the Kingdom of Jin together with Mongolia.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin were stupefied in diplomacy. A pair of fools fought for more than ten years. When they were finally swallowed by Mongolia, the two countries realized who the real enemy was.At this time, Song and Jin should unite together to fight against foreign aggression, and the result is a loss for both sides.The Kingdom of Jin failed to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty, and the old coins would not come. The Southern Song Dynasty also did not recognize you as his uncle. They were fighting hard on the border, ready to cooperate with Mongolia to attack the Kingdom of Jin at any time.Mongolia has found an alliance to destroy Jin, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Jin.
