Chapter 287 Chapter 286 Duanzong Zhao is

Duanzong of Song Dynasty, whose name is, is the eldest son of Duzong and concubine Yang's mother Shufei.Born in the fourth year of Xianchun (AD 1268) and died in the third year of Jingyan (AD 1278).11 years old. In the second year of Deyou (1276 A.D.), after Yuan soldiers captured Hangzhou, Emperor Gong, Empress Dowager Xie and many bureaucratic clans were all captured. On the first day of May of that year, Zhao Shi, king of Yi, was established as emperor, that is, Song Duanzong. Duanzong is the concubine son of Duzong, and his mother is Duzongshu Concubine Yang.After Duzong's death, Empress Dowager Xie called Jia Sidao and others into the palace to discuss the establishment of an heir. Most of the officials thought that the old rules should be abandoned during the time of war, and that Zhao was the eldest son of Duzong and should be established as emperor.However, in order to control the government, Jia Sidao advocated the establishment of a son.As a result, Zhao Shi was named the King of Ji, and Di Bing was named the King of Xin.

In the first month of the second year of Deyou, King Ji Zhao was granted the title of King Yi and sentenced to Fuzhou.Xin Wang Bing was granted the title of King Guang and sentenced to Quanzhou.The intention of the imperial court was to allow King Yi and King Guang to go to Fujian and Guangxi, and Xu Tu to recover.King Yi was only 8 years old, and King Guang was 5 years old. They were not familiar with human affairs, let alone deal with military and state affairs, such as managing Fujian and Guangxi.The three nominees are all relatives of the state, and Yang Liang and Yu Rugui are the uncles of the second king. With these three assisting the government, they are actually acting on their behalf.The two kings were sentenced to Fujian and Guangxi, and they were spared the bad luck of being captured. They retained a center that the people yearned for for Emperor Gong's subsequent struggle against the Yuan Dynasty.

Before the Yuan army entered Hangzhou, Prince Consort Yang Zhen and others escorted King Guang and King Yi to leave Beijing, accompanied by Concubine Yang Shu, Zhao Shi's mother.Prime Minister Boyan of the Yuan Dynasty occupied Lin'an, and sent troops led by Fan Wenhu to Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang Province) to ask Yang Zhen to hand over the two kings.Yang Zhen thought to himself: "The emperor has descended, and the two kings are the only two surviving sons of Du Zong. They cannot fall into the hands of the Yuan people." So he decided to return to Lin'an by himself, and said to the two kings before leaving: "I will die when I go. To ease the pursuit. Your Highnesses leave this place quickly and don't stay here." Encountering Fan Wenhu on the way, Yang Zhen lied to him that the two kings had already arrived, so Fan Wenhu had no choice but to escort Yang Zhen back to the business.Yang Liangjie and others carried King Yi and King Guang on their backs and hid in the mountains for 7 days before they escaped from danger and fled to Wenzhou.

After the fall of Lin'an, some civil servants and military generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, who were unwilling to submit, learned that King Yi and King Guang had arrived in Wenzhou, and they all went to defect with the mood of making a comeback.At that time, Lu Xiufu, who signed the letter to the Privy Council, came to Wenzhou at this time.Later, a navy led by Zhang Shijie also arrived, and the fleet brought by Chen Yizhong happened to berth in Qing'ao near Wenzhou, so the former important officials of the Song Dynasty were now gathered under the command of the second king.Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and other ministers immediately supported Zhao Shi as the marshal of the military and horse capital of the world, and King Guang as the deputy marshal.Then the marshal moved to Fuzhou.After Shaodi was taken into captivity and went north, Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and others supported Yiwang Zhao Shi as emperor on the first day of May in the second year of Deyou, changed Yuan Jingyan, and appointed Concubine Yang Shu as Concubine Yang to listen to politics together with Zhao Shi.Chen, Zhang, and Lu were each entrusted with important duties to form the power center of the dynasty, in an attempt to regroup and rejuvenate the government.

After the little emperor Duanzong ascended the throne, he reinvigorated the anti-Yuan struggle of the perishing Song Dynasty.Yangzhou City was defended by Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai, the envoys of Huaidong, and Yuan general Ashu couldn't attack for a long time.First, Li Hu was sent to Yangzhou to persuade him to surrender, but he was killed by Li Tingzhi. Then he sent an envoy to bring the empress dowager Xie's edict to surrender. Order to surrender." Emperor Gong and the Queen Mother were taken captive to the north, passing through Guazhou, Jiang Cai led thousands of troops to fight, trying to take back Emperor Gong and the Queen Mother.During the battle, Ashu, the commander of the Yuan army, sent someone to persuade Jiang Cai to surrender again. Jiang Cai replied solemnly, "I would rather die than be a general who surrendered!" Ashu sent troops to guard Gaoyou and Baoying to cut off his food supply.After capturing the new city of Taizhou, Xiagui's Huaixi soldiers were driven to the city to persuade them to surrender.Li Tingzhi said, "I just want to die!" Yuan Shizu personally issued an edict to surrender, and Li Tingzhi beheaded the envoy and burned the edict.At that time, Yangzhou had become an isolated city, and the food had been exhausted, so they boiled cowhide to satisfy their hunger. Some soldiers even killed their own sons to satisfy their hunger, but Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai still led the army to continue the war.After King Yi ascended the throne in Fuzhou, he sent envoys to summon the two of them to Fuzhou. Li Tingzhi ordered Zhu Huan, the deputy envoy of Zhundongzhi, to guard Yangzhou, and planned to go south by sea with Jiang Cai.Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tingzhi left Yangzhou, Zhu Huan offered the city to descend to Yuan. After Yuan general got the information, he led the army to advance rapidly and surrounded Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai in Taizhou.The general of Taizhou, Xiancheng, surrendered, and Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai were captured.Ashu killed both Jiang and Li at the same time, and the people of Yangzhou cried when they heard the sad news.

During March and April of the second year of Jingyan, the Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil. Yuan Shizu recalled the former generals of the two southern armies, slowing down the pace of conquering the south, and the Song Dynasty regained some lost ground.This period of time was very limited. After the civil strife in the Yuan Dynasty was put down, Shizu Yuan launched an offensive again. In August, Marshal Li Heng of the Yuan Army sent troops to reinforce southern Jiangxi, and led his own army to attack the base camp of Wen Tianxiang, the pacifier of Jiangxi.Wen Tianxiang did not expect the counterattack of the Yuan soldiers to be so fast, and he was defeated in a hasty battle. The Song soldiers he led were all scattered, and his wife and staff were all captured by the Yuan army.

The soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty refused to surrender, which angered Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty. He knew clearly that if the exiled sea court was not eliminated, the resistance of the subjects of the Southern Song Dynasty to Yuan Dynasty would not stop for a day.In September, he quickly ordered Tachu, Li Heng, Lu Shikui and others to lead the infantry to march into Dayuling, and Manwutai, Sodu, Pu Shougeng, and Liu Shen to lead the boat division into the sea. In July, Yuan generals instigated the capital to aid Quanzhou. Song general Zhang Shijie, who was attacking Pu Shougeng, was forced to return to Qianwan. Australia.Duanzong and his small court had to continue wandering at sea.

In April of the third year of Jingyan (AD 1278), the little emperor Duanzong, who had been wandering on the sea for more than a hundred days, could no longer bear the turbulent sea life, and died of illness in Shigangzhou, Guangzhou Bay, at the age of 11.
