Chapter 280 Chapter 279 Gaozong Zhao Gou

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was the ninth son of Huizong, the younger brother of Qinzong Zhao Huan, and his mother Webster.Born in May of the first year of Daguan (1107 A.D.), just after a hundred days, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty bestowed a name on him, granted him a Jiedu envoy, inspected him as a Taiwei, and granted him the title of Duke of Shu.In February of the following year, he was granted the title of King of Guangping County.In the third year of Xuanhe (1121 AD), he was named King Kang again.In the following year, Zhao Gouzheng was crowned in Wende Palace, bestowed the word Deji, and went out of the palace to live in his own palace.After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was honored to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, known as Song Gaozong in history.

In the seventh year of Xuanhe, after the Jin soldiers destroyed the Liao Dynasty, they immediately turned around and invaded southward on a large scale.Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was a foolish emperor who was addicted to wine and sex all the year round. When he learned that the Jin soldiers were driving straight in, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he had no master.On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the first year of Jingkang (1126 A.D.), the Jin soldiers approached Tokyo.The next day, they launched a series of attacks on the gates of Tokyo.During the court discussion, Shangshu Youcheng Li Bangyan advocated the cession of land for peace on the grounds that the soldiers were weak and the generals were widowed; Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang advocated encouraging the soldiers to resist to the death.Qinzong adopted Li Bangyan's opinion and sent Zheng Wangzhi and Gao Shize to Jinying to seek peace.At this time, Wu Libu sent an envoy, Wu Xiaomin, to propose peace terms.Qinzong immediately summoned Zhao Gou, appointed him an envoy for military planning, and went to Jinying to seek peace.Zhao Gou estimated that the trip would not be life-threatening, so he generously agreed and asked for immediate action.In this way, Zhao Gou took the dejected Zhang Bangchang on a raft and crossed the river to Jinying against the north wind.

Before he could attack the capital, General Jin wanted to give the envoy Song a blow, and get more advantages at the negotiating table.I saw soldiers inside and outside his camp lined up in a circle, with swords and guns everywhere, full of murderous aura.Seeing such a formation, Zhang Bangchang was scared to death.Zhao Gou knew that this was just a test of his courage, and it was nothing special at all, so he walked into the golden camp calmly from under the sword and gun.On February 7th, Emperor Qinzong issued an edict to cut off the three towns and the Jin people, and King Su pledged to replace King Kang.Kang Wang and Zhang Bangchang were released together.When Zhao Gou rode his horse out of the Jin camp, Wu Li didn't realize that he might be an obstacle to the expansion of the Jin Kingdom in the future, and regretted it so much that he hurriedly sent troops to chase after him, but Zhao Gou had already passed away.Wu Libu also felt that the goal was basically achieved, so he withdrew his troops and went north.

After Zhao Gou returned to the capital, King Su had gone to Jinying as a hostage.Seeing that the Jin soldiers had retreated, Qinzong believed that Zhao Gou had made great achievements in this trip, so he appointed him as Taifu.During Zhao Gou's pledge period, Zhong Shidao, Yao Pingzhong, Fan Qiong, Ma Zhong and other soldiers and horses came to the capital one after another, and the reinforcements reached more than 200,000, and the morale was slightly boosted.Qinzong felt that the alliance under the city was disgraceful, so he dismissed the lord and minister Li Bangyan and others one by one, and issued an order to all Qinwang troops to stick to the three towns and divide their troops to attack the Jin army.In October, Jin soldiers attacked Taiyuan. Although the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty fought bravely, they were outnumbered and Taiyuan fell.In November, Wuli could not be sure, attacked Zhongshan, and the northern pass towns fell one after another.Qinzong had no choice but to send another envoy to Jinying to seek peace.

Facing the aggressive momentum of the Jin soldiers, the peace faction in the Song court had the upper hand.Qinzong adopted Wang Yun's opinion and immediately summoned Zhao Gou, preparing to let him go on an envoy again.Qinzong agreed to let Geng Yanxi and Gao Shize accompany him, and also took off the jade belt on his body and gave it to him.Back in the mansion, Zhao Gou hurriedly summoned Geng Yanxi and Gao Shize, and said to them solemnly: "The country is in trouble, and the monarch is worried and humiliated. If this trip can solve the problem, we have a duty to do so. Ting, good or bad is uncertain, you should go back and say goodbye to your parents and wives, and leave at five o'clock tomorrow."

At five o'clock on November 16th, Zhao Gou, Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize, Wang Yun and others went north to seek peace against the chilly wind and under the dim moonlight.Zhao Gou and his entourage traveled around day and night, passing through Jun (now Jun County, Henan Province) and Hua (now Hua County, Henan Province) and went north to Zhending Mansion to find Wuli Bubu and ask for peace.This time, the condition for negotiating peace is no longer to cede the three towns, but to divide the world equally with the Song Dynasty with the Yellow River as the boundary.In a few days, Nianhan also came to the city of Tokyo and set up camp with Hanli, completely surrounding the capital.

On November 19th, Zhao Gou arrived in Xiangzhou (now Anyang City, Henan Province), and Wang Boyan, the magistrate of the state, said: "Woli has already crossed the river from Weixian County, Daming Prefecture (now Daming County, Hebei Province) on the 14th, and it may be too late to catch up. Your Majesty, please stay here for a while and make a long-term plan. Besides, King Su has not returned from Jinying so far, and I am afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to come back smoothly." Zhao Gou would not believe it, thinking that Wang Boyan prevented him from negotiating a peace, and said resolutely: "I am ordered by state affairs In times of crisis, the task of negotiating peace in the north must be completed, so we cannot give up halfway." The next day, Zhao Gou and his party set off for Cizhou (now Cixian, Hebei).As soon as he arrived outside Cizhou City, Zongze, the guard who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went forward and said to Zhao Gou angrily: "King Su was deceived into the Jin army, and it seems that there is no hope of returning. Now they want to invite the king to envoy Jin, it's clearly a scam, and it won't do any good. Please don't go the way of King Su again!" Zhao Gou refused to listen and insisted on going to Jinying.While arguing, suddenly two soldiers held the wax book sealed by Wang Boyan to ask for an audience.The book says: "On the night when the king left Xiangzhou, the torches in the west of Benzhou were connected for two or three miles. More than five hundred golden men and iron cavalry chased the king all the way. If the king crossed the river here, he would just fall into the trap. The time to negotiate peace has been lost, why not drive back to Xiangzhou diligently, gather troops, restrain the Jin army, and pay for Ershengwei City." After reading, Zhao Gou broke out in a cold sweat: Thanks to Wang Boyan's book, otherwise he would still be running around , in vain.

A few days later, the envoy Geng Nanzhong came to Xiangzhou to see Zhao Gou, saying that the capital was in danger, and the emperor ordered him to send all the counties in Hebei to help.After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Gou immediately unveiled the list jointly with Geng Nanzhong, recruited troops, and formed the King Qin Army. On December 1, Zhao Gou established the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou, and gathered the martyrs recruited by the Privy Council officer Liu Hao in Xiangzhou, Qin Wang's soldiers from Xinde Mansion (now Xingtai County, Hebei Province), soldiers sent by Daming Mansion to rescue Taiyuan, and A total of 10,000 soldiers rushed here from Taiyuan, Zhendingfu, Liaozhou (now Xiyang County, Shanxi) and other places, divided into five armies.On the 14th, Zhao Gou led five groups of soldiers and horses to attack Daming (now east of Daming County, Hebei).After arriving in Daming, Zong Ze, Liang Yangzu, etc. also led troops to the Malay Meeting successively, and their military power was slightly strengthened.

After the Jin soldiers attacked the city wall of Tokyo on November 26th, the Northern Song Dynasty was actually facing extinction.In order to completely wipe out the Zhao clan, Wu Libu forced the Qin sect to recall King Kang immediately.One day, the envoy Cao Fu came to see Zhao Gou with an edict, which said: "The Jin soldiers have not attacked the city, and they are negotiating a peace. King Kang and the commanders stay where they are, and don't move rashly to avoid accidents." Wang Boyan, Geng Nanzhong and others He believed in peace talks and advocated moving the army to Dongping (now Dongping, Shandong); Zongze advocated going south to Chanyuan (now Puxian, Henan), using this as a base to gradually lift the siege of the capital.At this time, Zhao Gou lost his courage when he went to Jinying as an envoy, and he dared not go straight to the capital to compete with Woli on the grounds that there were few soldiers.He ordered Zongze to lead ten thousand people to station in Chanyuan, falsely claiming that the Generalissimo was in the army, but he, Wang Boyan and others set off on December 29th, braved the wind and snow, and headed for Dongping.

On the way to Chanyuan, Zongze fought the Jin army 13 times and won all of them.However, Zhao Gou had been stationed in Dongping for a month, but he had no intention of rescuing the capital.Soon, Zhao Gou stationed in Jeju (now Juye, Shandong).At this time, there were as many as 80,000 official troops affiliated to the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the anti-golden army assembled automatically, known as one million, stationed in the state capitals of Ji and Pu (now Puyang, Henan).Zhao Gou didn't dare to compete with the Jin army, so he stood still, so that the soldiers from all walks of life were not allowed to approach the capital, and watched the Jin army invade the capital.

Nianhan and Wuli saw that the army and civilians in the capital had lost their ability to resist, and Zhao Gou’s King Qin’s army did not dare to fight. The time was ripe to eliminate the Northern Song Dynasty, so they successively detained Song Huizong and Song Qinzong in the Jinying, and then the Jinzhu issued an edict to abolish the Song Dynasty Huizong and Song Qinzong were common people.On March 7th in the third year of Jingkang (1127 A.D.), the Jinren established Zhang Bangchang as the false emperor of Chu.In this way, the Northern Song Dynasty perished.On April 1st, Jin Nianhan escorted more than 3,000 people including Huizong, Qinzong, princes, grandsons, son-in-laws, princesses, and concubines to the north, and took away the royal family's dharma, ritual vessels, musical instruments, sacrificial vessels, and imperial treasures. There are countless treasures, treasure seals, books and accounts, and public and private savings.When news of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty came, Wang Boyan persuaded Zhao Gou to go south to Suzhou (now Suxian County, Anhui Province) and prepare to flee to the south of the Yangtze River, but he did not flee south because of the opposition of the soldiers.After the Jin soldiers retreated, Zhang Bangchang, the emperor of "Great Chu", knew that King Kang was supporting his troops, so he didn't dare to act rashly.On the one hand, he welcomed Empress Yuanyou (Empress Zhezong's Meng family) into the Yanfu Palace and honored her as the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty; on the other hand, he sent someone to send the jade seal of "The Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty" to King Kang.At the request of Zongze and others, Zhao Gou decided to move to Yingtianfu (that is, Nanjing, south of Shangqiu, Henan).On May 1st, Zhao Gou was ordered to ascend the altar at Tianzhimen in Yingtianfu, that is, the emperor, and issued an imperial edict to change the yuan to "Jianyuan", amnesty the world, and Bangchang and his subordinates will not be questioned.After the ceremony, Zhao Gou looked at his father, brother, mother and wife who had been taken captive in the north, and wept bitterly again.On the same day, Empress Yuanyou announced in Tokyo that she would withdraw from the curtain and return to power, and wrote a congratulatory letter to Zhao Gou, saying: "The preservation of the ancestral temple depends entirely on you!" The Southern Song Dynasty. Although the Jin soldiers withdrew from Tokyo, they still controlled Taiyuan, Hezhong (now Yongji County, Shanxi), Zhending (now Zhengding County, Hebei), Cizhou, Xiangzhou, Hejian and other places on the two roads of Hedong and Hebei.Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, who had just ascended the throne of the emperor by luck, also had to express his determination to resist the enemy and revenge in order to conform to public opinion.Therefore, Li Gang, the most powerful veteran against the Jin Dynasty, was appointed as the right servant of the Shangshu and the assistant minister of the Zhongshu, but he also ordered Huang Qianshan to be the assistant of the Zhongshu, and Wang Boyan was a member of the Privy Council.Zhang Bangchang was also granted the title of Taibao, Jiedushi of Fengguo Army, and King of Tong'an County.Soon, Emperor Gaozong found out that Zhang Bangchang had served as a palace servant when he usurped the inner court, and heard the news that the Jin people used the excuse of abolishing Zhang Bangchang as an excuse to send troops south. He couldn't help being furious, and ordered Zhang Bangchang to be killed. The army and people in the north turned to the Southern Song court, and they organized themselves, with tens of thousands of people in many cases and thousands of people in numbers, to attack the enemy mysteriously.After Li Gang became prime minister, he sent Ma Zhong and Zhang Huan to lead 10,000 troops to attack the Jin army in Hejian and won the victory.In view of the fact that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had just been established at that time, the regular army had not had time to reorganize, and it had not yet become a force strong enough to resist the large-scale attack of the Jin soldiers.Li Gang set up the Hebei Recruitment Department in Hebei and the Hedong Jingzhi Department in Hedong. He appointed officials, allocated money, and recruited volunteers from Hebei and Hedong to fight against the Jin army. Since the day of its birth, the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty has been arguing endlessly on the issue of fighting against gold and war.Gaozong was also extremely conflicted on this issue.On the one hand, he also wanted to use Li Gang's prestige in fighting against the Jin Dynasty to boost morale and maintain a little face for the Southern Song Dynasty.On the other hand, like Wang and Huang, they fantasized about surrendering to the Jin Dynasty in exchange for the Jin Dynasty's recognition of the newly established Southern Song Dynasty regime.Although he didn't really want Huizong and Qinzong to return to the Southern Song Dynasty, under the guise of visiting and welcoming the two emperors who had been captured to the north, he kept sending people to bring rare treasures to the Jurchen nobles to test the Jin Dynasty. possibility of surrender. After the Jin soldiers withdrew from Tokyo, Gaozong never entered the city.It's not that he doesn't have feelings for the luxurious hometown, but that he is afraid of becoming a prisoner like his father and brother.Therefore, Zongze stayed behind to clean up the mess, but he himself became the emperor in Yingtian Mansion.In fact, Gaozong decided to flee south when he came to the throne.On the second day after he ascended the throne, Emperor Gaozong ordered Weng Yanguo to know Jiangning Mansion, and gave him 100,000 banknotes to repair the palace in Jiangning City for use when he fled south.Li Gang was very dissatisfied with Emperor Gaozong's visit to the southeast. He said to Emperor Gaozong: "Since ancient times, the emperors of Zhongxing have all started in the northwest, based in the Central Plains, and controlled the southeast. This is probably because the world's elite soldiers and horses are all in the northwest. If Your Majesty insisted on patrolling the southeast, which disappointed the anti-gold soldiers in the Central Plains, and it will be very difficult to regain the lost land in the north." After several discussions, Gaozong ignored the objections of Li Gang and others, adopted Huang Qianshan's opinion, and issued an edict: "Xing Xing Yangzhou", and let the guards of Jingxiang, Jianghuai, Guanshan and other places repair the city for the palace.Li Gang couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news. He was sad for Gaozong's weakness, and even more worried about the future of the country.He said angrily: "The survival of the country is a matter of one action. As long as Your Majesty does not dismiss me as an official, I will persist to the end!" Later, Gaozong and Li Gang once talked about Song Qinzong's subjugation.Emperor Gaozong asked: "Emperor Yuansheng was diligent in political affairs, reviewing memorials until late at night, but the country died in the hands of Jin people. What is the reason?" Li Gang replied: "The gains and losses of a master lie in knowing and employing people, being close to virtuous people, and alienating treacherous people. It will definitely make a difference.” Prior to this, Yue Fei, an anti-gold general, wrote to Gaozong, accusing Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan of treacherous officials for wronging the country and disappointing the army and people of the Central Plains.Not only did Gaozong not dare to do this, but he also thought that Yue Fei had overstepped his post, so he punished him by cutting him off. All these situations made Li Gang feel that he could no longer make a difference in the small court, so he had to ask for resignation.Song Gaozong also pushed the boat along the way, and demoted Li Gang to be a scholar of Guanwendian on various groundless charges. So far, Li Gang has only been in phase for 75 days.After Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Zhang Suo, the envoy he recommended on West Hebei Road, was also demoted for "crimes", and both the Hebei Recruitment Department and the Hedong Jinglue Department were abolished. As soon as the news of Li Gang's dismissal spread, scholars such as Taishi Chen Dong and Buyi Ouyang Che wrote to Emperor Gaozong, saying that Li Gang was loyal and brave and should not be dismissed; Huang and Wang were mediocre and incompetent and should not be reused; He personally led troops to crusade against the Jin Dynasty and rescued the two emperors.Huang Qianshan and others hated Chen and Ouyang very much, so Huang Qianshan came forward to meet Gaozong secretly and asked Chen Dong and Ouyang Che to be punished.Gaozong followed Huang Qianshan's advice and beheaded the two of them for public display.Seeing this scene, the passers-by all cried over it, feeling that there was no hope of regaining the northern territories. Just when Emperor Gaozong decided to flee south, the anti-golden struggle between the army and the people in the north was in full swing.Zong Ze, a veteran anti-golden general, was recommended as the governor of Kaifeng when Li Gang was prime minister, and soon he was appointed as the left-behind governor of Tokyo and also the governor of Kaifeng.In the Lianghe area, there were also famous rebels such as the Red Turban Army and the Bazi Army actively resisting the gold.They are familiar with the activities of the Jin army and often attack towns occupied by the Jin army.The Red Scarf Army, which was active in the Ze and Lu areas, almost captured the Jin army general Nianhan alive when they attacked the Jin army. Faced with such an active resistance force, the Jin Dynasty decided to use troops again.However, instead of actively preparing for the war, Emperor Gaozong left Yingtianfu by boat on October 1, passed Sizhou and Baoying, and fled southward.When the soldiers and civilians in the capital heard the news, they gathered together and cried, knowing that there was no hope of recovery. In December, the Jin army marched southward in multiple ways.All the way, led by Nianhan, started from Yunzhong (now Datong City), crossed the river from Heyang along the Taihang Mountains, and attacked Henan.The second route led by Youfu Marshal Zongfu and his younger brother Wushu set out from Yanshan, crossed the river from Cangzhou, and attacked Shandong and Huainan; In the spring of the second year of Jianyan (AD 1128), Emperor Gaozong arrived in Yangzhou with Liugong, favorite ministers, guards and family members.While the Jin army was marching southward fiercely, he and his favorite ministers were living a life of restless years and drunken dreams.At that time, the Jin soldiers were marching south day by day. Zhang Jun, the general of the Southern Song Dynasty, believed that the Jin soldiers would commit crimes southward, and asked Gaozong to prepare for the battle.Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan laughed and said coldly: "You don't have to worry too much!" In the first month of the third year of Jianyan, the Jin army's forward had captured Xuzhou and drove directly to Huaidong.On February 3rd, just after dawn, the Tianchang Army came to report: Jin soldiers are approaching Yangzhou day by day.The servant Kuang Xun hurried into the sleeping hall, forgetting the rules of the old court, and shouted loudly: "The golden soldiers have arrived!" Good armor, fled on horseback, escorted only by Wang Yuan, Zhang Jun and a few soldiers.How could Gaozong dare to stay in Zhenjiang Mansion for a long time when the Jin soldiers were chasing after him.On February 4th, Zhu Shengfei was ordered to garrison Zhenjiang, Liu Guangshi controlled the riverside, Yang Weizhong was garrisoned in Jiangning Mansion (now Nanjing), and Gaozong and his party fled to Lin'an (now Hangzhou).Gaozong thought that Zhang Bangchang was offended by the death of Zhang Bangchang, and he also issued a "crime edict" to amnesty the world, but Li Gang was unavoidable, let alone released.The purpose of punishing Li Gang's crime is to seek the understanding of the Jin people.Since Huang and Wang became prime ministers, they have dominated the government and hated Zhongliang. In particular, they did not repair armaments, which led to the unhindered movement of the Jin people to the south, and the relocation of the clan, which aroused dissatisfaction from the ruling and opposition parties.Zhang Cheng, the imperial envoy Zhongcheng, bravely wrote down the twenty major crimes of Huang and Wang, and wrote to Zhao Gou, requesting their dismissal.Under pressure, Gaozong had to "reluctantly part with one another" and dismissed Huang and Wang.Soon, under the leadership of Chen Yan, the Song army crossed the river to defeat the Jin army and regained Yangzhou. Only then did Zhao Gou's small court temporarily settle down in Hangzhou. Although the Jin soldiers once occupied Yangzhou, they did not cross the south of the Yangtze River from Yangzhou to commit crimes, so they gradually withdrew their troops to the north.Therefore, after the restoration of Emperor Gaozong, in order to conform to the public opinion of the ruling and opposition parties, he had no choice but to slowly move northward from Hangzhou to Jiangning Mansion (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), and changed Jiangning to Jiankang Mansion, making a gesture of setting up his business in Jiankang.To avoid repeating the tragic situation when he escaped from Yangzhou in early February, Gaozong dispatched officials and soldiers to escort Empress Dowager Meng to Jiangxi for refuge shortly after arriving in Jiankang.In June of the same year, when Gaozong was writing letters of condolence to the supreme rulers of the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen aristocrats mobilized troops again, with Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty, as the commander, and sent troops south again to capture Gaozong. Eliminate the Zhao Dynasty. When Gaozong discussed the countermeasures with the generals and ministers, they decided to only guard the river and not the Huai.Gaozong himself had already made plans to return to Hangzhou.On the one hand, he arranged Jiangfang, and on the other hand, he promoted Hangzhou to Lin'an Mansion in order to be the capital.When all these arrangements are in place, slowly return to Hangzhou. Unfortunately, the Jin soldiers attacked and occupied Hangzhou all the way. Zhao Gouwen heard that Lin'an had fallen, and fled to Mingzhou; then he fled to Changguo County (now Dinghai, Zhejiang), and was chased to the sea by the Jin soldiers.In the end, it was Jin Wushu who was afraid that staying in the south for too long would be bad for him, so he declared that "the search of the mountains and seas has been completed", and hurriedly led his troops back to the north. When Jin Wushu retreated, he was stubbornly blocked by Han Shizhong in Zhenjiang.In the Dragon King Temple in Jinshan (northwest of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province today), Jin Wushu, who was wearing a red robe and jade belt, fell off his horse while fighting the Song army and was almost captured.The two sides fought for dozens of rounds, and the defenders became more and more courageous. Han Shizhong's wife, Liang Hongyu, held a drum to help in the battle, and Jin Wushu's son-in-law, King Longhu, was captured alive.Jin Wushu had no choice but to use fire attack to raid the warship of the Song Army, and took the opportunity to escape back to Jiangbei.Seeing the retreat of the Jin soldiers, Emperor Gaozong staggered from Wenzhou to Yuezhou, and promoted Yuezhou to Shaoxing Mansion as the temporary seat of the small court.It was not until the second year of Shaoxing (AD 1132) that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty headed by Gaozong returned to Lin'an. In fact, since the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rulers of the Jin Dynasty have used the strategy of Han to rule the Han to rule the north.They first established Zhang Bangchang as the puppet emperor of Chu, and later used the establishment of a puppet regime as a bait to induce Du Chong, the Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, to surrender.After the Jin army withdrew from the south of the Yangtze River, it established a puppet regime in the already occupied Shandong and Henan, named the country "Daqi", and canonized the surrender Liu Yu as emperor.Since then, although a military buffer zone has emerged between the Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty, the contradictions and struggles have become more complicated.In this case, Gaozong colluded with Qin Hui again and stepped up the peace negotiation activities against Jin. In May of the tenth year of Shaoxing, the Jin soldiers went south in four directions, and the states of Henan and Shaanxi fell into the enemy's hands one after another.When Wushu led more than 100,000 troops to Tokyo, Meng Yu, who stayed behind in Song Dynasty, led his officials to welcome the surrender.After the Jin army occupied Tokyo, it continued to march southeast.When the news of the Jin army going south reached Lin'an, Gaozong woke up from the dream of surviving, and pretended to be in charge of the battle.Hastily dispatched troops and generals to resist.He ordered Yue Fei to attack from Xiangyang to contain the Jin soldiers attacking Huainan and Shaanxi, and restore the capital Bianliang. Yue Fei, courtesy name Pengju, was born in Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now Tangyin County, Henan), and was a famous patriotic general in the Southern Song Dynasty.Yue Fei was ordered to march northward, and successively captured Yingchang (to the east of Xuchang City, Henan Province), Caizhou (to the south of Ru County, Henan Province), Luoyang and other places.Then, he personally led 50,000 Qingqi to station in Yancheng (now Henan).Wu Shu led the most elite kidnappers in the army to Yancheng for a decisive battle.Yue Fei commanded the soldiers to leap into the enemy's formation with knives and axes, slash the enemy upwards, and slash the horse's feet downwards. He defeated the Jin soldiers and achieved the famous victory in Yancheng.At the same time, the troops of Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun recovered Yuzhou (now east of Donghai County, Jiangsu Province) and Bozhou (now Hao County, Anhui Province); the loyal militiamen also recovered many cities, and agreed to use the "Yue" character flag as the name , Waiting for the Yue family army to cross the Yellow River to cooperate with the attack on Jinbing.These victories formed a large encirclement of the Jin army and cut off the enemy's return. Yue Fei's victory did not make Song Gaozong have the determination to restore his homeland, but was only a weight for the Southern Song court to negotiate a peace with Jin.Knowing that Yue Fei refused to withdraw from the anti-golden front line, Qin Hui first ordered Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong and other anti-golden generals to retreat first, and then asked Gaozong to give Yue Fei an order of division under the pretext of "one army cannot stay alone for long".Gaozong actually won 12 gold medals in one day and ordered Yue's army to retreat immediately.Yue Fei was very sad and indignant when he received the order from the class teacher.He said with tears: "Ten years of achievements will be wasted once." But he could not disobey the order of the court, so he had to lead his army to retreat to Ezhou.The city that had been recovered ahead fell into the hands of the Jinren again. Gaozong not only voluntarily gave up the good opportunity of military counter-offensive, but also was wary of generals with heavy troops outside.He was afraid that Miao Fu, the ruler of the imperial battalion in the third year of Jianyan, and Liu Zhengyan, the governor of Weizhou, rebelled and pushed the crown prince. He was determined to seize the military power at the right time to prevent the generals from getting too big and causing trouble.Now the time finally came, he ordered the three generals Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Yue Fei to return to Lin'an as soon as possible in the name of rewarding meritorious deeds. In order to please the Jin people, Gaozong, Qin Hui and Zhang Jun's arrangement to murder Yue Fei was also proceeding step by step.Qin Hui fabricated Yue Fei's "rebellion" charges.After planning, Qin Hui and Zhang Jun bought Yue Fei's subordinates Wang Gui, Wang Jun and others, and wrote the "first complaint", falsely accusing Yue Fei's most trusted general Zhang Xian to lead troops to Xiangyang to rebel, and then arrested them.Then, Zhang Xian was forced to confess that Yue Fei's son Yue Yun instigated him to do this, and Yue Yun was arrested and imprisoned.Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others also distorted various collected evidence and sent it to Emperor Gaozong for review.Gaozong was furious when he saw Yue Fei's words instructing Zhang Xian to raise troops in the materials.Qin Hui took the opportunity to ask Gaozong to bring Yue Yun here immediately, and to testify with Zhang Xian and Yue Yun.Gaozong immediately agreed. One day in October, Yue Fei arrived in Hangzhou from Mount Lu.Qin Hui immediately reported to Gaozong, and Gaozong said that everything should be handled by Qin Hui.Qin Hui ordered people to deceive Yue Fei to Dali Temple, and asked his confidant, Yushi Zhongcheng He Yu, to interrogate him.On the one hand, they ordered the guards to torture Yue Fei and Yue Yun.Force them to confess; on the one hand continue to Luo Zhiyue Fei and his son "conspiracy" charges.But for two months, no one was willing to testify. On New Year's Eve in the eleventh year of Shaoxing (AD 1141), Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui recklessly condemned Yue Fei and his son and Zhang Xian to death and killed them.At that time, Yue Fei was only 39 years old.Before his execution, Yue Fei wrote eight big characters on the prison case: "The sun is shining! The sky is shining!". In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (AD 1141), the Song and Jin peace talks made Nanjing a subsidiary state of the Jin Dynasty.From then on, the relationship between Song and Jin was no longer an equal brotherhood, but a relationship between monarch and minister.Gaozong deeply felt that it was not easy for the Jin Dynasty to recognize his throne. Therefore, he was content to be a minister and pay tribute. In addition to sending the old coins to Sizhou (now Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province) to hand over to the Jin Dynasty every year, he also searched for a large amount of gold. Silver coins and silk were given to the Jin Dynasty to congratulate Zhengdan and his birthday.Gaozong's mother, Webster, also gave tens of thousands of gifts to the empress of the Jin Dynasty every year.The emperor of the Jin Dynasty also asked for all kinds of goodies at any time, and Gaozong obeyed them one by one.His admiration for the emperor of the Jin Dynasty was beyond measure. During the Song-Jin War, Jin soldiers burned, killed and looted everywhere, resulting in barren farmland and people's lives were miserable.After the peace negotiation, the huge tribute paid by the Song court to the Jin Dynasty was naturally passed on to the common people.Due to the heavy taxation and poverty of the country and the people, farmers all over the country revolted one after another.Regardless of the life and death of the people, Emperor Gaozong made great efforts to build various temples and palaces, and held grand ceremonies to whitewash the peace. Gaozong's sweet dream didn't last long, and Wan Yanliang, who became the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, was ready to raise his troops to destroy the Song Dynasty.Wan Yanliang was the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty.He launched a palace coup to kill Jin Xizong, ascended the throne of the emperor, rectified internal affairs, changed his capital, and wanted the world to be one family, and did not allow the Southern Song Dynasty to exist. Some people of insight in the Southern Song Dynasty had already observed Wan Yanliang's attempt to invade the south.In the twenty-sixth year of Shaoxing (AD 1156), Liang Xun, a Jinshi in Dongping, wrote a letter saying that the Jin people had signs of raising troops, and advised Gaozong to plan ahead in case of accidents.Gaozong was furious, and exiled Liang Xun thousands of miles away on the charge of denouncing peace talks and confusing the public.At this time, Qin Hui died, and the officials clapped their hands and applauded. They wrote memorials to expose his crimes and demanded that Yue Fei be vindicated.However, after all, Emperor Gaozong favored and trusted Qin Hui, and the peace plan with the Jin Dynasty was also the "crystallization" of the two, so he specially issued an edict saying: "The policy of making peace with the Jin people is my own idea, and Qin Hui just agrees with my approach. "And announced: "From now on, anyone who talks about border affairs will be severely punished." In September of the 31st year of Shaoxing, Wan Yanliang, the gold lord, led an army of 600,000 people, and went south in separate ways, intending to destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.Gaozong panicked, and hurriedly used the sick veteran Liu Qi and Wang Quan to lead the army to resist.Frightened by the strength of the Jin army, Wang Quan fled without a fight in Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui), and the whole army was defeated.When Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty heard that the royal army was defeated, he issued an edict to dissolve the government and let everyone escape for their lives.
