Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen The Vigor I Have Only Seen Since Traveling to the South

This was a war launched by Wan Yanliang alone, and it disappeared with his death.The rest is finishing touches. For the frontline troops of the Jin Army, the finishing work was to quickly express goodwill to the Southern Song army, reaffirm peace, and quickly retreat to the north.At the same time, a troop was about to leave the main formation and rush to Kaifeng to kill Wanyan Liang's 12-year-old son, Wanyan Guangying, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin. This is the best display of allegiance to the new emperor. As far as the Southern Song Dynasty was concerned, the news of Wan Yanliang's sudden death quickly spread throughout Jiangnan. Many people woke up and did what they should do, but it was too abrupt and they did it bluntly.

The front line immediately organized troops across the river to pursue.That's right, when the two countries meet with swordsmen, it's life and death.Who said you can fight if you want, and make peace if you want?The Southern Song army ignored the flattering smiling faces of the Jin army, and immediately launched a counterattack in the Huaihe River Basin. It's just that the materials and psychological preparations were insufficient, and the pursuit was like an escort. I watched the Jin army cross the Huai River, and no substantive battle took place.Bigger moves came at the rear.

Zhao Gou personally conscripted. His Majesty the Emperor led the crown prince and his party to set off from the imperial boat by the sea, and bravely entered Jiankang Mansion, which was far away from the place where Wan Yanliang died, where they enjoyed cheers and showed their might. These are the things that should be, and should come as no surprise.People with unique vision at that time focused their attention on the Qilu area in Jiangbei, where the general trend of the world lies. At this time, thirty-four years have passed since the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed in the Jingkang Incident, and Jiangbei has been occupied for a long time. However, the incomparable centripetal force of the Han Chinese nation has not weakened.Taking advantage of the emptiness within the Kingdom of Jin, this wave quickly developed and expanded.

The main representative is Geng Jing in Shandong area. Geng Jing, born in Jinan, Shandong, date of birth unknown, farmer.The process of his uprising is even more legendary than the previous Wei Sheng.Wei Sheng needed more than 300 people to cross the river to make meritorious service. Geng Jing only had six partners when he started. Their attack targets are Laiwu and Tai'an...these are famous cities in Shandong.Even though Wan Yanliang took away almost all of the Jin army, but only six people wanted to capture these cities? Geng Jing succeeded. After success, look around and count the team after it has grown, and the number of subordinates is more than one hundred.Geng Jing didn't panic or get discouraged, and continued to develop around.Three months, that is, the period between Wan Yanliang's war and Guazhoudu's demise, the number of Geng Jing's rebel army increased to hundreds of thousands.

The development of the matter was so unbelievable. When this force expanded rapidly like nuclear fission, Jin Guo panicked, and Geng Jing himself was also confused. Wan Yanyong, who had just taken office, could only watch helplessly in panic. He had some soldiers at hand, but Wan Yanliang had just died, so he didn't dare to move at all.He didn't even dare to pay attention to the ongoing Khitan uprising in the north, let alone sending heavy troops to Shandong to quell the Han rebellion.Like Wan Yanliang before him, he suffered enemies from the north and the south, and coupled with the inherent feud of the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation was so bad that it could be said to be higher than that of Wan Yanliang by the river.

Geng Jing was also uncomfortable. He has the guts to rebel, but he doesn't have the ability to command a snowballing army that grows like a dream.He is just a dignified and rebellious farmer, just like Yue Fei, another genius general who was born as a farmer, possesses the talent for war, but he does not have the same growth experience as Yue Fei, so he is confused, he does not know what to do next .So he came up with a way that fit his identity - to find a superior. Since it is impossible to develop a new world and be its own master, it has no choice but to find the most orthodox master in name—the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, Zhao Gou.

About a month after Wan Yanliang's death, Geng Jing sent people across the river, and the person in charge was named Xin Qiji. Xin Qiji, whose style name was Tanfu, changed to You'an, and was nicknamed Jiaxuan, was born in 1140 AD in Licheng (now Jinan, Shandong).The Xin family is huge and has been officials for many generations, which can be traced back to the early Tang Dynasty. During the Jingkang Rebellion, the Song family went south, and the Xin family paid the price for the greatness of the family.They were unable to move quickly and were forced to survive under the rule of the Jin Kingdom.Xin Qiji was born and raised after this.

He grew up in an enemy-occupied area, and someone in his family was an official of the Kingdom of Jin, but this did not prevent him from hating the Jurchens to the bone.He seized every opportunity to rebel, and finally stood beside Geng Jing when he was just in his early twenties.Geng Jing valued him very much, and entrusted the fate of all members of the rebel army to this passionate and heroic young man. Xin Qiji crossed the Yangtze River south to find Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou was in a good mood in Jiankang Mansion at that time, and after asking about the situation, he sent a copy of the original.That is, whatever you want, I will give you.

During the uprising, Geng Jing claimed to be the Jiedushi of the Tianping Army, and Zhao Gou asked this official to register with the government.As for what the rebel army will do next, Zhao Gou's order is to cross the river and come to him. Jiangbei, especially Huaibei, still had to give up.This news stunned Xin Qiji and angered Yu Yunwen. The imperial hero who had just turned the tide couldn't help raising objections to Zhao Gou again, and the reply he got was: don't talk about it now, wait until the rebels' affairs come to an end.Xin Qiji came here with great ambition, and Yu Yu returned to the north. Except for some official positions, he didn't bring back any practical and useful things, but what greeted him was a chaotic mess of rebels who were falling apart.

Geng Jing died, and he was assassinated by the traitor Zhang Anguo. The team immediately became chaotic. There were many people who ran, surrendered, and waited and watched. Everyone was beaten back to their original form. It is a truth that insurgents who have not undergone deep ideological training need leadership.Xin Qiji is not a leader either, but he is ambitious, bloody, and dares to do what he wants to do. He decided to retaliate immediately. Xin Qiji set off with dozens of rebels and chased them along the way.He brought so few people, and the people he was chasing were desperadoes who had just defected, and reliable information showed that Zhang Anguo's target was Jinying.In other words, Xin Qiji is likely to face the large number of Jin troops.

He didn't care and kept chasing after him.Even though he knew that Zhang Anguo had already entered Jinying on the way, he didn't stop. Xin Qiji rushed into the Jin camp, and dozens of horse riding companies rushed to the front of the traitors.At that time, Traitor Zhang was drinking with General Jin to celebrate his victory. Xin Qiji killed General Jin and captured the traitor at this banquet, and rushed out again, taking the living Zhang Anguo all the way south, crossing the river to the Southern Song Dynasty, and returning to Zhao Gou side. Think back then, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger! Zhang Anguo was beheaded in Jiankang Mansion.Geng Jing's revenge has been avenged, and Xin Qiji's fame has become famous. His feats and his poems are like a hurricane rushing into the wild and bright light, illuminating the eyes of Song people who have been living in the dark for a long time, and arousing many long-lost bloody ambition.This is very valuable and long-lasting. It is really a great contribution made by Xin Qiji to his family and country. But what is Nai Jiangbei? Back to Yu Yunwen's angrily questioning.Under such a good situation, Zhao Gou abandoned Jiangbei and Huaibei as if they were sacks, and completely dismissed them. He even ignored the fact that the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom was both internally and externally troubled. The service really made Yu Yunwen dizzy. Yu Yunwen repeatedly analyzed the current situation, and demanded that even if the empire did not take the opportunity to send troops to retaliate against military common sense, it had to make reasonable use of the resistance forces that automatically appeared in enemy-occupied areas.Think about it, taking Xin Qiji's feat as a call and relying on the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty, everything can create even greater troubles for the Kingdom of Jin... He talked a lot, Zhao Gou answered very little, only one sentence: "Got it, let's go!" The above scene proves that Yu Yunwen did not do enough history homework.He wants Zhao Gou to cherish, this proposition itself does not exist.Zhao Gou has been a super picky gourmet all his life, and he spares no expense even in the ingredients provided by Yue Fei. How can he cherish a group of folk forces who gather and disperse suddenly? Yu Yunwen had no choice but to go further away. At this moment, Zhao Gou was very busy, and he was really impatient with Yu Yunwen's chatter, because he was thinking about "business".Cautiously, he fell into deep thought.Thinking about the past, looking forward to the future, racking his brains for the happiness of his life. He couldn't help but think about it, but everyone has a bit of shame, even if it's rarely very thin.He was distressed, even though he didn't care about these nonsense at all, but he was the emperor after all, and he still had a little psychological barrier to completely shameless things.In the past twenty years, he has been advocating the theory of friendliness and cuteness of Jurchen all the time, and he used the killing of Yue Fei to disperse the army to ensure that there will never be a war! As a result, Wan Yanliang's slap was extremely loud and crisp. This made Zhao Gou lose face.Thinking of the difficult years ahead, and thinking that he would be thrown on the cusp of the storm again if something happened, he was afraid and felt that he had to find a way. Life is nothing more than enjoyment, and position is nothing more than security.These two points are the core of Zhao Gou's thinking. For so many years, everything that happened in the Southern Song Dynasty has served these two points.Then it can be deduced that if something goes wrong, someone else will take care of it, and he will do it for the enjoyment and stability. How ideal this day is!For this reason, he finally turned his attention to the child beside him who had always regarded him as his biological father. Zhao Wei. This child has grown up a long time ago, he has always been respectful and cautious, and there is nothing that makes him dissatisfied.Of course, there were a few exceptions in the war that just ended.At that time, Zhao Gou's instinct to escape broke out. Even Sichuan did not dare to go to Sichuan because of the possibility of being captured theoretically.Zhao Wei broke out suddenly and applied to lead an army to go out. Zhao Wei has a proud blood that originated from Song Taizu, and he has a natural aversion to such dirty behaviors as escape, cowardice, surrender, and self-destruction.At this time, he really couldn't bear it anymore, why did he run away?Why run away?He asked himself again and again.Is he going to do the same?No, what he wanted was a counterattack. The crown prince asked for a fight, and the impact on the Southern Song Dynasty was even more serious than Wan Yanliang's attack.Zhao Gou was on fire at that time, Ning and Youbang, not a domestic slave, Zhao Wei was a puppy he raised since he was a child, how could he go against his master's will and make his own decisions?It is simply outrageous.Fortunately, his anger didn't last long, and a new report from Zhao Wei came over. Zhao Wei no longer asked for a fight, but asked to follow him. Wherever he went, Zhao Wei would go wherever he went, and continue to be the most obedient shadow.Zhao Gou's heart was full of joy, and he felt that he was sitting in the center of the world again. Many years later, when Zhao Wei passed away, it was not for nothing that the temple name given to him by the world was "Xiaozong".Zhao Wei's life is full of contradictions.His ideal is correct, and no one can refute it, whether it is from the standpoint of the ancestors or the righteousness of the nation.However, he is still a "son". Zhao Wei accompanied Zhao Gou to advance northward to Jiankang. Along the way, it was raining and snowing in the deep winter in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhao Gou sat in a chariot, and Zhao Wei rode a horse. The rain and snow wet his clothes, and his expression was always calm and calm. In Jiankang, Zhao Wei personally took care of Zhao Gou's daily life, every day in every possible way, and at night he wrote a letter of safety to the empress dowager and empress behind him. When everything was over and Zhao Gou returned to the Lin'an Palace, the Queen pointed to a small box to show him, which was full of peace letters from the front line.From this we can see how far Zhao Wei has done his son's job. Zhao Gou sat down slowly and continued to think deeply.After a long time, he felt that he could do the following things. Zhao Gou decided to abdicate. Push Zhao Wei to the front to shelter from the wind and rain, and he retreats to the back to enjoy himself.This is not only in his personal interest, but also eases the current crisis of trust in the government. He can justifiably say that the previous policy of compromising the Kingdom of Jin was indeed wrong, and I have already paid the price. I am no longer the emperor, so what complaints do you have? There are all benefits but no harm. The only hidden danger is the safety problem in the theory.How can Zhao Wei, a cheap son, achieve the word "filial piety"? After 30 years of observation, Zhao Gou is still very relieved about this.But how to implement it?The process of handing over power is the most important topic in a politician's career. If this step is not done well, all previous efforts will be spoiled. Li Shimin is a 100% excellent crown prince, possessing all the qualifications for the upper echelon, but slaughtering his brother, killing his brother, and forcing his father, so that his aura of eternal emperor always has sunspot flares that cannot be erased, which is considered a failure. Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne in the Long Live Hall on a snowy night. Two nephews of the emperor died mysteriously after the Northern Expedition failed. Everyone suspected what he had done, but there was no conclusive evidence of the murder.On the whole, it's just that the food is ugly, and it's considered a pass, but it's not excellent. When Renzong passed on the throne to Yingzong, the person who passed it on was entrusted by someone who was not a person, and the person who succeeded him was psychopathic. When Huizong's country was ruined and his family was destroyed, he passed the throne to his eldest son in an emergency, and he ran away by himself.From this point of view, it is very similar to Zhao Gou's current situation, and it is the most comparable example.Then analyze, why did Qinzong turn his back on guests and isolate Huizong in the harem, and he didn't even drink the wine poured by his father. From Zhao Gou's point of view, Wu Min, Li Gang and others had ulterior motives to control the government and use ministers to threaten the emperor.To avoid this, we must learn a lesson and prevent this from happening. First, find the right person to do the work. Second, control public opinion, strictly prohibit the expansion of the situation, and do not allow too many officials to participate, even discussions are not allowed. Zhao Gou should do everything possible to let Zhao Wei and the public realize that the throne was given by him on his own initiative, even as a gift to Zhao Wei as a father, and it was by no means forced by the situation and had to be given. Zhao Gou entrusted this task to Prime Minister Chen Kangbo, who would gently explain to the public opinion and the military, solicit opinions slowly, and try to make the process as gentle and harmonious as possible. There is no way to emphasize progress.It took Chen Kangbo nearly half a year to make things perfect, which made Zhao Gou very satisfied, and the abdication was a matter of course. On June 11th, the 32nd year of Song Shaoxing (AD 1162), Zhao Gouxian went to court normally, and Zhao Wei waited in the harem.Zhao Gou issued an edict of abdication in the front hall. After a comprehensive summary, he finally publicly admitted a mistake. He said: "I have lost many virtues in office, and Lai Qing and others covered it up." After that, he left the main hall and entered the harem. Zhao Wei in the harem, no, he changed his name again at this time.In more than 30 years, he changed from Zhao Bocong to Zhao Wei, and from Zhao Wei to "Zhao Yan", which was his official name as the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. The sound and meaning of "Shen" are the same as "Shen", which means cautious, prudent, real, sure, tens of thousands, etc.As the name suggests, this is the ardent hope of the Supreme Emperor, who was promoted to Gaozong, for the new emperor. He hopes that the filial son must think over everything and must not make his own decisions. Zhao Yan finally became the emperor. He refused repeatedly in the Golden Palace, went through the standard process of abdication, and completed every step in a standard manner, including personally helping his father out of the palace in the rainy day, and letting him sit on the seat of the Supreme Emperor. Chariot, to settle in a new home outside the palace. The next day, he led all the officials to the new home of the Supreme Emperor to greet him. The new home of the Supreme Emperor is hidden in the city, ethereal in the fairy mountains.Looking at ancient Lin'an, it is adjacent to the West Lake in the east and Wushan Mountain in the west. The mountain is the remnant of Tianmu Mountain in northern Zhejiang.The mountain goes straight into the city, and at the end stands a mountain gate named "Chaotianmen".There is a mountain stream flowing in front of the gate, and a small bridge is built on the stream. Looking back at Wushan Mountain from the bridge, one can see "like a horse standing and looking" in the clouds and mists. This bridge is called "Wangxian Bridge". That's right, it's here, Qin Hui's former residence.The best residential area in Lin'an City, of course, must live in the person with the pinnacle of power.Without exception, Zhao Gou will definitely choose this place. In the Southern Song Dynasty in June, the grand drama of Zhao Yun's ascension to the throne and Zhao Gourong's ascension to the Supreme Emperor was staged.In the Jin Kingdom in the north, a more significant event occurred at this time-the Khitan uprising was suppressed. When Wan Yanliang invaded the south, the Khitan people took the opportunity to resist, and the team soon grew to 50,000 people, and recovered Linhuang Mansion, the former capital of the Liao Kingdom.Considering that the Liao Kingdom had only been destroyed for more than 30 years, and the Zhong clan was huge, not to mention that it would grow rapidly like a snowball within the Kingdom of Jin. They didn't have to turn to the Southern Song Dynasty for help, and they were able to make the Kingdom of Jin suffer. At this time, the pressure from Khitan, the Southern Song Dynasty, and the domestic nobles was the greatest since the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, and the person receiving the pressure was Wanyan Yong, who had always been weak. He couldn't bear it in any way. But the strange thing is that it was the "weak" Wan Yanyong who saved the situation. Wan Yanyong first sent people to the Southern Song Dynasty to propose a peace agreement, hoping to restore all the provisions of the Shaoxing peace treaty.In any case, stabilize Jiangnan first.For the country, Wanyan Yongchun turned the weather into rain, and specially promoted some of Wanyanliang's former direct descendants, so as to tell the domestic wall-riding faction, hesitant faction, and opposition faction that all the crimes were done by Wanyan Liang alone. pardon. The Jurchen, who was devastated and soaked in the bloody corpse mountain for thirteen years, couldn't stand this, and immediately threw herself into Wanyan Yong's warm and generous embrace, treating him as a reborn Aguda. The last is Khitan. Liao and Jin are feuds, and they have been entangled for hundreds of years. In recent years, the contradictions have intensified, and it is said that there is no room for maneuver.But Wan Yanyong's posture was so low that it couldn't be lower.He wrote the imperial decree in his own handwriting, all Khitans who revolted, and those who voluntarily surrendered will not be punished, and those who are slaves will be promoted to civilians.This edict is of historic significance, as it demonstrates the unprecedented benevolence of the Jurchens.Although it had no effect at the time, the Khitan people who were determined to rebel would rather die than surrender, but Wanyan Yong's image was established. During the suppression of the Khitan Uprising, the strength of the Jin Kingdom was not weakened, but internal unity was also enhanced.After the war ended, Wan Yanyong let this unity upgrade again immediately. He announced that all the infantry of the Central Plains troops who participated in Yan Liang's Southern Expedition will be repatriated home. The farmers in the Shandong Han uprising gathering places will be pardoned for their crimes as long as they return home to farm and land. , to save one person from dismissal and go home. The situation in the Kingdom of Jin reversed rapidly, and finally achieved stability before the abdication of the throne in the Southern Song Dynasty.This made Zhao Gou, who was rippling in the mountains and rivers, smile quietly, and made Zhao Yan lower his head, which had just put on the crown, feeling annoyed. Depressed can't solve the problem, Zhao Yan sorted out his thoughts, and decided to do the first thing after taking office, to form a new government team.The old ones are absolutely unusable, they are all shrunken Qin Hui, which can neither revive the country, nor renounce morality.He decided to be quick and drive them all away, leaving no one behind.The plan was good, but there was a little resistance in its implementation. A small note came from Wangxianqiao, requesting that some old comrades be retained in certain departments of the country... Zhao Yanren, but he held the most important power tightly in his hands. In terms of civil servants, he appointed Shi Hao as prime minister.Shi Hao is his teacher, years of teacher-student friendship, let him 100% trust this person. In terms of generals, he appointed Zhang Jun as the privy envoy, with full power to supervise the Jianghuai army and horses, and to be fully responsible for foreign strategy.Zhang Jun, he finally once again stood at the pinnacle of the country's military structure and became the number one person in the military. The whole territory of the Southern Song Dynasty cheered!Victims and fierce fighters—the strong and fierce Zhang Xianggong finally came out of the mountain, and the backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty—the hormones of the Han people have recovered! For some reason, no one remembers the fucking things this person did back then.Is it strange? A new generation of government is at work.Zhang Jun was positive. He was sixty-five years old at the time, and he was a rare old man with a standard long life at that time. He has been living in depression and depression for these years, and his health must be negative.But he doesn't care about these things at all, ideals, his ideals of soaring ambitions to restore the country and revenge, ideals that can only be fulfilled by him are waiting for him, he must seize this rare opportunity! But the data shows that there are still people who are more enthusiastic about work than him. The new prime minister, Shi Hao. The emperor teacher quickly collected all kinds of information and found a hidden danger that had a great impact on the safety of the empire.Based on decades of sage scholarship, he judged that Wu Lin must be stopped immediately. Wu Lin has been in an offensive state.When Wan Yanliang invaded south, he defeated the Jin army who tried to enter Sichuan from Shaanxi, and then counterattacked. At this time, he had recovered a total of 16 state troops from Qinfeng, Xihe, and Yongxing.This was an unprecedented victory, with the speed of advancing troops and the breadth of territory gained, only comparable to Yue Fei's fourth Northern Expedition twenty years ago. But Shi Hao thought that this was a huge mistake. Going deep alone is the biggest taboo in the military history of Chinese Han civilization. If you encounter it, you can only retreat quickly.This is an iron law, as long as you can read a little bit, you will know it. Those who can read more are even more eloquent. They will give examples, such as Bai Qi, the god of war in the Qin State during the Warring States Period, who went deep into the land of Zhao alone. Wasn't he recalled?Recently, Yue Fei, who was in the fourth Northern Expedition, went deep into Jiangbei, and was also recalled urgently.So the lone army and the recall are closely linked, and any other measures are bound to be wrong! Even if Bai Qi defeated Yu Wei in the battle of Changping, even if Yue Fei was in sight of winning all battles and returning to the country, he had to withdraw. Zhao Yan habitually followed the teacher's analysis and ordered Wu Lin to withdraw immediately. Wu Lin is not Liu Qi. In fact, in the past two hundred years, only Liu Qi has stood up straight in front of the class teacher's gold medal.The Sichuan army began to retreat, and the Jin army counterattacked. All the state troops that had been captured before were lost, and tens of thousands of people were killed during the retreat... Only about 7,000 Sichuan troops returned to Shu alive.That's how the disaster happened. Zhao Xuan didn't know anything about it. He sat in the palace and conceived the plan of the Northern Expedition and the restoration of the country, thinking that the southwestern corner had nothing to do with the overall situation.He believes that the Sichuan army will come back to rectify first, and then cooperate with the Northern Expedition army in the middle to attack. This is the right way.While he was looking ahead, a man who had started running back and forth around the empire again returned.Yu Yunwen hurried back to give lessons to the new emperor: "Your teacher is a nerd, he failed to accomplish anything, and Southwest will definitely pay the blood price for it!" Just like confirming Yu Yunwen's warning, the news of Chuanshan's defeat came immediately.Zhao Yan was stunned, and he repeatedly lamented: "Shi Hao mistook me, Shi Hao mistook me!" Then he gave an urgent order to Wu Lin, allowing him to take the opportunity to act, so that the Southwest could resume its offensive. Wu Lin sneered, what kind of orders are these.Aren't you a scholar, don't you know what happened after Bai Qi withdrew his troops?The King of Qin ordered him to go out again, but Bai Qi said that he would not go, even if he was demoted to a soldier, exiled, or forced to commit suicide, he would not obey the order.As for Yue Fei, what he said when he looked up to the sky and screamed is still in his ears: "Once all the counties you have gained will be destroyed! It is difficult for the country and the country to be rejuvenated! There is no way to recover the world of heaven and earth!"
