Chapter 18 Three traitors

At the beginning of February in the second year of Jingkang (1127), the Jin army detained Song Huizong and Song Qinzong in Jinying.Jin Bing forced the second emperor to take off the emperor's clothes and put on civilian clothes.The ministers of the Song Dynasty who were present were at a loss for what to do. Only Li Ruoshui, the servant of the Ministry of officials, protested loudly, angrily scolding the general of the Jin army, Wan Yan Zonghan, and asked Song Qinzong not to change his clothes.As a result, Li Ruoshui was cut off by Jin Bing with a knife, and then dragged out and killed.Jin Bing, who participated in the extermination of the Liao Kingdom, said: "When the Liao Dynasty fell, there were more than a dozen people who died generously. In the Song Dynasty, there was only Li Shilang."

At the same time, the Jin army sent back Wu Kai (sound jian, same room), a Hanlin scholar who followed Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, and Mo Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, back to Kaifeng City.Wu Kai and Mo Yu had actually surrendered to the Jinren, but they were only responsible for conveying the meaning of the Jinren to the officials.Therefore, according to the wishes of the Jin people, Wang Shiyong, Wu Kai, and Mo Yu, who stayed behind in Tokyo, took the lead in proposing to make Zhang Bangchang emperor.Wang Shiyong has the nickname of "Golden Man's Grandpa", because at that time the Jin man was frantically asking for women, and Wang Shiyong did his best to plunder women for the Jin man.However, Wu Kai and Mo Yu delivered orders back and forth for the Jin army, and were called "quick ghosts" by people (the express mail in the Song Dynasty was called urgent delivery or urgent delivery).

Zhang Bangchang, courtesy name Zineng, was born in Yongjingjun Dongguang (now part of Hebei).He was promoted as a Jinshi, and served successively as Minister of Rites, Shaozai, and Dazai.In the first year of Jingkang (1126), when the Jin army besieged Tokyo, Zhang Bangchang served as the Hebei Road cedement envoy, advocating surrender to Jin, so he was sent to follow Kang Wang Zhao Gou into Jinying as a hostage. At that time, there were still many people in the court who fought.General Yao Pingzhong planned to lead an elite army to attack Jinying and capture Jinjun coach Zong Wang alive.Li Gang, the minister of the main combat faction, firmly supported it, and Song Qinzong also wanted to win by chance and agreed.Unexpectedly, the matter was not confidential, someone first leaked the news that the Song army was about to rob the camp to the Jin army.In the middle of the night, when Yao Pingzhong's army arrived at the camp of the Jin army, he was surprised to find that the Jin soldiers were waiting in formation.After a fierce battle, Yao Pingzhong's first army was defeated by the well-prepared Jin soldiers, and Yao Pingzhong was defeated and fled.

Yao Pingzhong failed to rob the camp, but he annoyed Zong Wang, the coach of the Jin Army.He immediately sent someone to bring the hostages Kang Wang Zhaogou and Zhang Bangchang, and reprimanded Song Fang for "breaking his promise" and violating the peace treaty.Kang Wang and Zhao Gou kept silent.But Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that he was at a loss, and explained bitterly that Yao Pingzhong's night attack was definitely not the Song court's original intention.Zhang Bangchang's attitude made Zongwang feel that this person was weak and would definitely be useful in the future.In contrast, Kang Wang Zhao Gou's attitude made Zong Wang suspicious. He suspected that Zhao Gou was not the real prince, so when he sent someone to the Song Dynasty to question Yao Pingzhong's robbery of the camp, he proposed to change the hostages by the way.

In order to appease Yao Pingzhong's robbery of the camp, Song Qinzong apologized to the Jin army by dismissing Li Gang.Unexpectedly, this move greatly angered the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty.Tai student Chen Dong wrote a letter, requesting Song Qinzong to dismiss Prime Minister Li Bangyan, reappoint Li Gang, and hand over the military outside the city to Shaanxi veteran Zhong Shidao.One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng came to support. Song Qinzong was afraid that the people would betray their relatives, so he had no choice but to announce that he would use Li Gang again, and let Zhong Shidao come out to meet each other, which calmed down the storm.

Song Qinzong sent Su Wang Zhao Shu to Jinying as a hostage, and exchanged Kang Wang Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang.At this time, the Jin people were afraid of Li Gang's rise and fall, and also worried about the expedition of Lao's army, while the Song army's reinforcements were gathering in Tokyo, so after Song Qinzong agreed to the demands of land cession and indemnity, he withdrew his troops and returned north.Su Wang Zhao Shu was not released but was taken captive north and became Zhao Gou's scapegoat. After the Jin soldiers withdrew, Song Qinzong thought that the world would be peaceful from now on, and Song Huizong, who had already fled south, also returned to Tokyo, and lived a life of debauchery again.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and soon the Jin army invaded the south again, and the Song court was completely controlled by the surrender faction, which led to the collapse of Kaifeng city and the capture of the two emperors Huiqin.After the Jin army ransacked Tokyo, they were satisfied and began to prepare to retreat.

The Jin people dared not stay for a long time because of their hard work and limited strength, so they planned to support a puppet regime. In order to prevent the Song Dynasty from making a comeback, they ordered "those who have different surnames to be masters should prepare their orders before joining the army."Zhang Bangchang was pushed to the forefront under such a historical background.Wang Shiyong, the stay-at-home king in Tokyo, summoned a group of ministers to enter the petition under the name of Zhang Bangchang. Zhang Jun, the chief bookkeeper of Taichang Temple, Cao Zhaoding, a Kaifeng scholar, and Hu Yin, a member of the gate, refused to sign and fled to Taixue.Censor Ma Shen and Wu Qi, together with Censor Zhongcheng Qin Hui, asked the Jin people to succeed Zhao's heir as king.Qin Hui even exposed Zhang Bangchang's crimes in public with righteous indignation, thinking that it was improper to make him a monarch.The Jin people were furious and took Qin Hui to Jinying and imprisoned him.

This is a very dramatic scene in history. An impassioned patriot loyal to the monarch angrily rebuked a big traitor who betrayed his country and sought glory.In the eyes of people at the time, Qin Hui was a hero who dared to stand up in times of crisis.Because Qin Hui could be safe and sound at first, but just because he stood up and scolded Zhang Bangchang, he was taken into captivity with the two emperors of Huiqin and went northward, and began a humiliating career of wandering and wandering. However, later facts proved that the so-called loyal and patriotic Qin Hui was the real traitor.

On the first day of March in the second year of Jingkang (1127), Zhang Bangchang entered the city.Hearing that this person will be the future emperor of the Central Plains, tens of thousands of Kaifeng scholars, soldiers and civilians rushed to the gate of the city to watch.Zhang Bangchang knew very well that nine out of ten of these people hated him to the bone.For thousands of years, there is probably no one who is as frightened and overwhelmed by the upcoming throne as Zhang Bangchang. After entering the city, Zhang Bangchang did not dare to enter the palace directly, but went to Shangshu Province first.Among the three provinces of the Song Dynasty, Menxia and Shangshu all worked outside the palace, and only Zhongshu was in the palace, called Zhengshitang.It can be seen that Zhang Bangchang is not willing to be the emperor.However, the Jin men threatened that if Zhang Bangchang did not become emperor by the seventh day of March, or if the officials, soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng did not support him as emperor, then all the ministers would be killed first, and then Kaifeng would be bloodbathed.It was a matter of personal interests, and all officials came to persuade Zhang Bangchang to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhang Bangchang was of course in an extremely difficult situation.To get rid of troubles, the only way to go is suicide.This is his most ideal ending, which Li Gang, a contemporary, has already pointed out.It is said that Zhang Bangchang once planned to commit suicide, but someone dissuaded him and said: "My husband did not die outside the city the day before yesterday, but now he is dying here. Is it because he wants to destroy the whole city?" The eternal infamy of "traitor" on his back is inevitable. On the seventh day of March, the Jinren officially proclaimed Zhang Bangchang the emperor, and the country was named Dachu.Zhang Bangchang knew very well that the persuasion of all the officials was out of helplessness, not that he was popular. He was just a puppet emperor in the hands of the Jinren, so he began to cry when Shang Shusheng got on his horse, and cried again when he arrived at Que Ting, and changed the emperor after the scene Take it for a while, and then pay thanks to Xie En in the north.The Jin envoy knelt down and ordered the imperial seal, and thank you again.When Zhang Bangchang was appointed as the throne, Wu Ge, a member of Xuanzanshe of Hemen, called hundreds of people to revolt, and was killed after failing.

On the day of enthronement, Zhang Bangchang was promoted to Wende Hall. He did not dare to sit on the imperial bed dedicated to the emperor, but set a seat on the west side of the imperial bed, and sat there to receive the congratulations from the officials.Zhang Bangchang also specially asked the pavilion to order all the officials not to bow down to him.However, in order to please Zhang Bangchang, Wang Shiyong, who stayed behind in Tokyo, bowed down first, followed by Wu Kai, Mo Yu, and Fan Qiong.Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up. The sky was very gloomy that day, with dark clouds covering the sun and wind blowing everywhere.Except for a few people such as Wang Shiyong, Wu Kai, Mo Yu, Fan Qiong, etc. who surrounded Zhang Bangchang happily and triumphantly, most of the ministers thought that their family and country would be broken, and they would have to bow to different surnames from now on. .Although Zhang Bangchang became the emperor, he felt really uneasy when he saw the dismay of the crowd. After Zhang Bangchang ascended the throne, he took Wang Shiyong as the head of the Privy Council and the Secretary of State, Wu Kaiquan as the head of the Privy Council, Mo Yuquan as the secretary of the Privy Council, Lu Haowen as the head of the province, and Xu Bingzhe as the head of the Zhongshu Province.He also ordered all the officials: "There have been frequent changes in the court for many days, and the ministers have neglected their duties. From now on, they will be supervised by the Yushitai. Everyone must abide by the law and perform their duties." He claimed that he did not call "Zhen" He still calls himself "Yu" when he sees officials; the decree is called "Xuanzhi" and the edict is called "handwriting"; the ruling and attendants can sit and discuss state affairs, and they can be called by their names; they don't usually wear the emperor's dragon robe, unless they listen to When the golden man was about to come, he hurriedly changed it, and did not use the emperor's ceremony for food and daily life.Every time Wang Shiyong played something to Zhang Bangchang, he would say "Your Majesty", and Zhang Bangchang always reminded Wang Shiyong not to call him "Your Majesty", but to call him "Xianggong". At that time, the gold man urged to pay the silver, and the Kaifeng government apportioned it to each family based on the existing household registration, and the payment was limited within a day. However, the people in Beijing were repeatedly hit by wars, and even if they went bankrupt, they could not make up the astronomical figure.Zhang Bangchang wrote a letter to the Jinren to plead not to ask for the silver silk: "Relying on the great kindness of your country, I dare not forget it, but even if I sacrifice my life, it is not enough to repay. The people in the city have been exhausted due to the long-term siege, and countless people died of hunger. Counting, although a certain person is willing to support him, he has no money to support him, and he wants to save him, but he has no food to continue his life. Your country is in a hurry, and there are many people who are desperate to find their own way of death. I hope you can sympathize and sincerely In a desperate situation, gold and silver are not included." The gold man has obtained a lot of benefits from searching and looting, and he also knows that there is not much oil and water to be squeezed out of this piece of lean meat, so he pushed the boat to sell him a favor and promised to exempt gold and silver. After the Jin people supported Zhang Bangchang's puppet regime, they returned to the North.Before leaving, Zhang Bangchang went to see him off. He deliberately took off the emperor's dragon robe and wore a red ocher robe with Zhang Honggai.All these guards of honor are not royal etiquette.It can be seen from this that Zhang Bangchang is afraid.But because Zhang Bangchang was originally a Song official, the soldiers and civilians who watched all thought that he made his fortune by making money, and they all gritted their teeth and hated him. After the golden man left, Zhang Bangchang officially sat on the golden throne of the Wende Hall, and began to dispatch officials, appease the people, and negotiate with the golden man.He does not work in the main hall, does not hold regular court meetings, does not come out to meet ministers, all the doors in the forbidden palace are sealed, and the seal is inscribed with "Sincerely from Bangchang". Before leaving, the Jinren asked Zhang Bangchang if he wanted to keep troops for protection. Zhang Bangchang was afraid that he would become a critic if the Jinren left, so he hoped that the Jinren could stay in the army.But Prime Minister Lu Haowen refused, saying: "I'm afraid the soldiers in the north are not familiar with the soil and water in the south, so they won't be able to station at ease." Don't dare to keep it, I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility.The Jinren had no choice but to withdraw the whole army to the north. Zhang Bangchang was very annoyed when he knew that once the Jin people returned to the north, he would be gone, so he blamed Lu Haowen.Lu Hao asked and replied: "My lord told the people all over the world that the golden man who endured humiliation and humiliation came to the throne quietly, and things happened helplessly. Now that the golden man is gone, my lord will follow Xu Tu. Please think twice, my lord. It’s because of the tyranny of the Jin people. Now that the Jin people have gone, how can Xianggong still maintain his prestige. Now King Kang is a descendant of the royal family, leading the army outside, and everyone is at heart. Why don’t you support King Kang? For the current plan, you should welcome him back Empress Yuanyou, please ask King Kang to take the throne, and the concubine will be preserved." Ma Shen, the supervisory censor, also asked to welcome King Kang Zhao Gou as emperor. Here I want to mention that in Zhang Bangchang's puppet court at this time, Song officials can be roughly divided into two factions, one is the real surrender faction, such as Wang Shiyong and his like, who want to gain wealth by supporting Zhang Bangchang; the other is the false surrender Pai, a fake traitor, represented by Lu Haowen, wanted to force the Jin army to retreat by establishing Zhang Bangchang.The most typical proof is that Lu Haowen's writings are all called "the second year of Jingkang", and Zhang Bangchang's "Da Chu" year name is not mentioned at all. Even the true capitulators have no confidence in Zhang Bangchang, because the Song Dynasty still has a large number of troops in the south, which are gathering towards Tokyo.After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Bangchang decided to follow Lu Haowen's suggestion.But another prime minister, Wang Shiyong, resolutely opposed it for his own benefit, saying: "It is hard to ride a tiger now, and you should make a decision after careful consideration, so as not to regret it in the future." Prime Minister Xu Bingzhe also agreed with Wang Shiyong's opinion. At this time, soldiers and horses of "King Qin" from all walks of life headed for Kaifeng one after another, blatantly claiming to crusade against Zhang Bangchang.Zhang Bangchang didn't want to live in fear all the time, so he didn't follow the advice of Wang Shiyong and others, and immediately sent people to welcome Song Zhezong's abolished Empress Meng (Empress Yuanyou) as the Queen Mother of Song and enter the Imperial Yanfu Palace.He also sent Jiang Shiyue to bring a letter to Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, and said to himself: "Bang Chang's support from the Jin people is to save the country for a while. He has no other intentions! He threw himself into the land and wanted to die for his family and country, but he woke up again, but the golden man refused to take back his life. It was hard to argue with each other. Bangchang wanted to die quickly by touching the pillar with his head, but the golden man guarded him day and night, and he couldn't beg for death...Suddenly Hundreds of officials in the city joined forces to persuade them to advance, pushing Bangchang as the master in order to avoid themselves. If Bangchang had armored soldiers in his hands, he would definitely fight against Dajin to the end! Bangchang didn't want to endure humiliation and steal his life. The two emperors cannot be moved back. Only those who follow the power and gold can preserve the clan and the country for the future. If you insist on dying at one festival, you will surely implicate the two emperors. How can you be called a loyal minister? Originally, Bangchang was a prime minister. , the grace of generations, the Lord was humiliated and could not die, how can he see the people of the world! However, thinking about the plan of revival, I really can't bear to die and ignore my family and country!" He repeatedly emphasized in this letter, At that time, if he did not proclaim himself emperor, the Jin soldiers would massacre the city to defend himself. Afterwards, Zhang Bangchang sent envoys to Nanjing to present chariots, clothes and other royal belongings to King Kang Zhaogou. He also asked Empress Meng of Yuanyou to listen to the government behind the curtain, and retired to Zishantang as Dazai.At this point, Zhang Bangchang's Great Chu regime officially ended, and it lasted for thirty-three days. Empress Meng of Yuanyou immediately issued an edict in the name of Queen Mother Song, ordering Kang Wang Zhao Gou to ascend the throne.Zhang Bangchang himself soon rushed to Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan) to meet King Kang Zhaogou.He prostrated himself in front of Zhao Gou, prostrated himself on the ground, and wept bitterly. He said, "Those who follow the Jin people and support them, who want to relieve the national crisis for a while, dare to do anything else." He asked Zhao Gou to give him the death penalty.Zhao Gou comforted him and promised to spare him the death penalty. On the first day of May in the second year of Jingkang (1127), Zhao Gou, king of Kang, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan).Afterwards, Song Gaozong granted Zhang Bangchang the title of Taibao, envoy of the national army, and king of Tong'an County. He went to the capital to participate in major events every five days. The reason why Song Gaozong did not punish Zhang Bangchang is because the two were hostages in Jinying at the beginning, and they had the experience of suffering together; It is also the fundamental reason why Song Gaozong later reused another surrender faction, Qin Hui.According to some unofficial historical records, Zhang Bangchang was able to avoid being held accountable by the new emperor because he secretly used a beauty trick to dedicate his beautiful adopted daughter to Song Gaozong. "A fox's charm can confuse the Lord", Zhang Bangchang has the honor of the head of the country, Song Gaozong naturally can't do anything about it. Originally, Zhang Bangchang was safe and sound. If there were no accidents, he should be reused even more.However, after Li Gang, the main battle faction, first played the "Ten Proposals", two of which were "Arrogance" and "Pseudo-command", insisting that Song Gaozong punish the rebels, and Zhang Bangchang was naturally the first to bear the brunt. Zhang Bangchang's shameful acts of being servile and serving the enemy out of integrity were not tolerated by the government and the public. After Li Gang started, the memorials to expose his crimes immediately flew to Song Gaozong's desk like snowflakes.Someone even reported that Zhang Bangchang had defiled the palace people in the imperial palace.According to the "Song History Zhang Bangchang Biography": "At the beginning, Bangchang usurped the inner court, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Hua Guojinggong, offered Bangchang with fruits, and Bangchang answered generously. One night, Bangchang was drunk, and Li's Yongzhi said: "Everyone, the matter has come to this point, what else can I say?" Because of adding Bangchang's body with an ocher half arm, he was tucked into the Funing Hall, and decorated with his adopted daughter Chen Shi at night to enter. And Bangchang returned to the East Mansion, Li Shi Give it away privately, and reprimand Chengyu." Under the huge pressure of public opinion, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty had to issue an edict: "Bangchang dared to live in the palace, and he raped the palace people, you can see his situation." In June of the first year of Jianyan (1127), Zhang Bangchang was placed in Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan Province) as deputy envoy of the Zhaohua Army, and the Li family in the scandal was also assigned to the "zhangji distribution car camp" .Other traitors such as Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Wu Kai, Mo Yu, Li Yu, Sun Zhi, etc. were placed in Gaozhou (now northeast of Gaozhou, Guangdong), Meizhou (now Meixian, Guangdong), Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan), and Quanzhou (now Lingling, Hunan). Today Quanzhou, Guangxi), Liuzhou (now Liuzhou, Guangxi), Guizhou (now Zigui, Hubei). However, a few months later, Jin Guo even used the abolition of the puppet Zhang Bangchang as an excuse to send troops to invade Song Dynasty and capture Lianghe Prefecture.Under the strong request of the government and the public, Song Gaozong had to sacrifice Zhang Bangchang again. In September of the same year, he issued an imperial edict to kill Zhang Bangchang, and sent Ma Shen, the royal servant in the palace, to execute it.It is said that after Zhang Bangchang received the edict, he still "wandered and retreated, unable to bear to commit suicide", and the executive officer ordered him to force him. Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to climb to the Pingchu Tower of Tianning Temple in Tanzhou City, sighed several times, and hanged himself to death.Wang Shiyong was also executed. What Zhang Bangchang owed was his personal reputation, but he didn't do any big treacherous things. Compared with Qin Hui later, he was really a traitor who couldn't be smaller.The real traitor, Qin Hui, was still imprisoned in the Kingdom of Jin at this time. It was not until the first year of Shaoxing (1131) that he returned from the Kingdom of Jin. There is a reason to surrender and seek peace: "The Chinese only wear clothes and eat, and Xu Tu is rejuvenated." It can be said to be very high-sounding.This is something for later, and I will mention it later.Another big traitor Liu Yu to talk about next. Liu Yu, courtesy name Yanyou, was born in Fucheng, Yongjing Army (now part of Hebei). He was a Jinshi in the Yuanfu period.Soon, Liu Yu played many times, involving the affairs of the Rites Bureau, which aroused Song Huizong's dissatisfaction, was demoted, and served as a prison on West Hebei Road.When the Jin army invaded on a large scale, Liu Yu abandoned his post and fled. In the second year of Jianyan (1128), Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Liu Yu was appointed as the governor of Jinan Prefecture on the recommendation of his friend Zhang Kui, the privy envoy.At that time, there was great chaos in the north, and there were anti-golden armed forces and thieves everywhere. Liu Yu asked to be reassigned to a county in the south of the Yangtze River, but was rejected.Soon, Jin general Talan (that is, Wan Yanchang, Jin Taizu's cousin) led his troops to surround Jinan. At first Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin to fight with the Jin army. Later, he was lured by Jin Lilu and decided to surrender.In Jinan City, there was a fierce general Guan Sheng who was good at using a broadsword and defeated Jin Bing many times.Liu Yu actually killed Guan Sheng and surrendered to the Tong judge Zhang Dongsong, and Jinan fell into the hands of the Jin soldiers.Therefore, the Jin people named Liu Yu the magistrate of Dongping and the commander of the horse infantry of all roads to control the armies outside the river, and named his son Liu Lin the prefect of Jinan.In fact, all the places south of the Yellow River under the control of the Jin army were handed over to Liu Yu. Because Zhang Bangchang, the puppet regime supported by the Jin people before, had been bestowed to death by Song Gaozong, and the Jin people urgently needed to support another traitor regime, Liu Yu became the most suitable candidate.In the fourth year of Song Jianyan (1130), Liu Yu was conferred the title of "Emperor of Daqi" by gold and established his capital in Daming (now Hebei Daming).Jin and Qi took the old course of the Yellow River as the boundary, and Qi took the father's service to Jin.Liu Yu also established his own political power, enfeoffing Zhang Xiaochun and others as prime ministers, his younger brother Liu Yi was left behind in Beijing, and his son Liu Lin was the Minister Zuo Prime Minister and the general manager of all military forces. The terrified Southern Song court was quite afraid of Liu Yu's Qi regime, and even treated it like an enemy country, and called Liu Yu "Emperor of Qi" in the official letter.At that time, the family members of Liu Yu's prime minister Zhang Xiaochun and others were all in the Song Dynasty, and the Song court also treated each other with courtesy and did not dare to neglect at all. But Liu Yu never respected the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.He accidentally got a crystal bowl from a soldier. He recognized that the bowl was definitely not owned by the people, so he checked carefully and found out that it was stolen from Song Zhezong's Yongtai Tomb in Gongxian County, so he sent people to excavate Yongtai Tomb. The treasures in the mausoleum were looted, and Song Zhezong's bones were exposed.After Liu Yu set this precedent, tomb-digging became frenzied in the Henan area, and the tombs of all the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were completely excavated, even the tombs of rich families among the people were not spared. Liu Yu was very different from the previous Zhang Bangchang. He openly became an enemy of Song Dynasty as soon as he became emperor.In the second year of Song Shaoxing (1132), Liu Yu moved his capital to Kaifeng.He repeatedly sent his son Liu Lin, nephew Liu Ni, and Song rebel generals Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou to cooperate with the Jin army to invade the Song Dynasty. In the first month of the third year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1133), Li Heng, the governor of Xiangyang in the Song Dynasty, led his army to attack Liu Yu in the north, and the Qi army retreated steadily.Li Heng captured Yingchang Mansion (Xuchang, Henan Province) and approached Kaifeng.Liu Yu was terrified and hurried to Jin for help.General Wanyan Zongbi (the fourth son of Jin Taizu, that is, Wushu, often called Jin Wushu) personally led the army to support him, and the Jin-Qi allied forces began to counterattack.However, the Song court did not trust Li Heng, who was born in the rebel army. The Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong tribes of the Song court only threatened to support them, but they actually did not move.Li Heng was isolated and helpless, and retreated all the way to Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi).The Qi army took advantage of the momentum to regain the old land, and also occupied the six counties including Xiangyang Prefecture. At this time, Liu Yu's Daqi regime reached its peak, conquering Bashu in the west, and taking Wuyue in the south, which posed a huge threat to the Southern Song Dynasty court.Under such circumstances, Gou'an's Southern Song court had no choice but to start a counterattack. In May of the fourth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1134), Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty ordered Yue Fei to go out to recover Xianghan.Song Gaozong understood that Yue Fei was different from other generals in their style of defense and not attacking. Before leaving, he issued an edict, only allowing Yue Fei to recover Li Heng's old land.Such a shameless emperor is no different from the previous Zhang Bangchang.After that, Yue Fei showed his talents, defeated the Jin Qi coalition forces in a row, and recovered the six counties.As a result, Yue Fei was granted the title of Jiedu Envoy of the Qingyuan Army. He was the fifth military general to establish a festival in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was thirty-two years old at the time. Liu Yu knew that fighting against the Southern Song Dynasty was the only value of his existence as an emperor. In September of the same year, he invaded the south again, and the Jin generals Ye Liduo and Talan led 50,000 Jin troops to support them.This time Liu Yu came aggressively, and the Song court was terrified. The generals Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were also afraid of the enemy. Song Gaozong was ready to escape.Only Han Shizhong set up an ambush in Dayi (now south of Yizheng, Jiangsu Province) and defeated the Jin army, thus turning the tide of the battle.After the Jin army turned to Huaixi, they were defeated by Yue Fei again.Since then, the two sides have entered a stalemate.However, at the end of the year, the war changed because of Jin Taizong's critical illness. The Jin army returned to the north, and Liu Yu had no choice but to retreat. The rise of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong made Liu Yu repeatedly defeated, and the Jin people began to be dissatisfied with him, which made Liu Yu feel a huge crisis.In the sixth year of Song Shaoxing (1136), Liu Yu conscripted another 300,000 troops to attack Lianghuai. Liu Lin commanded the Central Route Army, Liu Yu's nephew Liu Ni commanded the East Route Army, and Kong Yanzhou commanded the West Route Army.The result was defeated by Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong.The Jin army stood still and refused to help.The Qi army was defeated and retreated, the casualties were heavy, and the people complained. At this time, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was Jin Xizong Wanyan Quan. Jin Xizong was very angry when he heard the news of Liu Yu's defeat, and was very dissatisfied with Liu Yu.However, Wanyan Zonghan, an important minister of the Jin Dynasty, has always supported Liu Yu.Jin Xizong had always been dissatisfied with Wanyan Zonghan's control of the government, so he began to weaken Wanyan Zonghan's power in a planned way. Zonghan's confidant Shangshu Zuo Cheng Gao Qingyi was executed for taking stolen goods.In the seventh year of Song Shaoxing (1137), Yan Zonghan, Liu Yu's backer in the Kingdom of Jin, died.Liu Yu felt ominous, so he appointed his son Liu Lin as the heir to write a letter to test the meaning of the Jin court. Jin Xizong said coldly: "I will send someone to consult the people in Henan to make a decision." At this time, Liu Yu already knew that he was the emperor. It won't be a few days, and the future fate is unpredictable.He wanted to surrender to the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was afraid that he would end up like Zhang Bangchang, so he had to drag out his life and resign himself to fate. Soon, the court of the Kingdom of Jin accused Liu Yu of "not being able to impress people with his virtues, and not convincing people with his prestige", and issued an edict to abolish him as the king of Shu, and placed Liu Yu's family in Linhuang Mansion (now southeast of Bahrain Left Banner, Inner Mongolia). Luocheng), which is equivalent to exile in disguise.In the sixteenth year of Song Shaoxing (1146), Liu Yu died in exile.
