Home Categories Chinese history If This Is the History of the Song Dynasty (Part 8), Southern Song Dynasty, Official Dynasty
There are 10,000 Chinese people, and there are 10,000 Jingkang first years.But in the hearts of these ten thousand Chinese, the second defense of Tokyo in the first year of Jingkang was the same. The Jin army had an overwhelming advantage, and the Song army was weak to the end. This seems to be ironclad evidence for thousands of years, even if you are not convinced, you must admit it.In this regard, I want to say no, because everything has to wait until the information of the year is checked.According to the data, on the second day of November that year, after Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army arrived in Kaifeng, the second defense of Tokyo began.The Song army did not hide in the city as an ostrich, but kept rushing out of the city wall to challenge the Jin army.

For the first time, the Jin army attacked Tongjin Gate.Hundreds of Song soldiers slid down the city wall along the rope and burned five artillery mounts and two siege chariots of the Jin army. The second time, the Jin army broke through Qingcheng (a small town in the southern suburbs of Kaifeng) and attacked Chaoyangmen.Wang Zongying, the deputy commander of the former division of the Song Army Palace, went to the battle. The battle was tragic, and the commander Gao Shidan died in battle. For the third time, the Jin army attacked the southern city wall, and Zhang Shuye fought.In the deep winter rain and snow, the South Dao soldiers fought bravely and beheaded two generals of the Golden Army wearing golden rings.The fleeing Jin army panicked, trampled on each other, and thousands of them drowned in the moat.

For the fourth time, Song General Fan Qiong led a thousand soldiers out of Xuanhuamen to challenge the Jin army. The morale of the whole army was high, and they dispersed the Jin army under the city wall and pursued further.It's a pity that people and horses trampled on them, and many fell into the glacier, drowning more than 500 people. This day is the 23rd of the leap November, remember this day and what happened next. The Song army fell into the glacier, and the Jin army took advantage of the situation to counterattack. They successively transported fire ladders, cloud ladders, weaving bridges and other weapons to the city, and pushed five opposite buildings filled with stone bows and arrows to attack the city forcibly.The Song army defending the city smashed three of them with rams, and then threw burning grass fire at the other two.

In their busy schedule, they didn't notice the sudden change in wind direction.In the cold winter season, and it was still raining and snowing, a strong southerly wind suddenly blew up.The grass fire they threw came back with the wind and ignited the weapons on the top of the city. The Jin army took advantage of the situation to attack, and instantly the arrows rained down, making the defenders on the top of the city unable to raise their heads.The Jin army filled up the moat outside the city of Kaifeng with the three-layer stacked bed that filled the moat of Taiyuan, and a large number of weapons for siege arrived directly at the gates of Tongjin and Xuanhua.

At this time, twenty-one days had passed since the start of the war, and the fighting situation had never been so bad.Kaifeng is in danger, and the most steadfast fighters are beginning to waver.This has nothing to do with faith, let alone honor. This is a material world. After 21 days, Song Jun's physical strength reached its limit. Not because of Jin Jun, but because of the damn weather and Zhao Huan's brain problem. The weather is unpredictable, and how many wars have changed the outcome because of it, such as the rise of Li Yuanhao, the defeat of the Liao Kingdom on the Gobi Desert, and the city of Kaifeng at this time.Before the encirclement of the Jin army, the weather was normal, but a bit cold. This was only November in the lunar calendar, and it was not yet the coldest time of the year.

But during these 21 days, the howling wind, rain and snow, tormented the defenders on the city wall every moment.It's okay at first, to protect the family and the country, men are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of the cold?However, you can't stand up like this every day.Later, the soldiers were so cold that their hands were too stiff to hold their weapons. Some weak soldiers froze to death on the city wall. The soldiers who claim to be the wealthiest capital city in human history have fallen to such a point.How did this happen?If you look through the information, people can't blame Zhao Huan anyway.Because His Majesty the Emperor appears among the soldiers all the time, he can climb the city in armor and helmet, and reward the soldiers with imperial food; he can ride a horse in the mud, and make the people cry; , Pray to God that it will not snow again.In the harem, the queen led the maids to make warm clothes for the frontline soldiers.

What a touching combination of these! But on the other hand, it just proved where the problem was.May I ask how many catties the royal meal weighs?Is it enough for the 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers defending the city?Are queens skilled workers in the garment industry?How many warm gloves can be made in more than half a month?As for the emperor himself putting on his helmet and hanging his armor on the top of the city, it was just a show of might. How effective would this kind of spiritual encouragement be to the soldiers suffering from hunger and cold? Everyone in Kaifeng knew that there were piles of cloth and hemp in the treasury. As long as Zhao Huan was willing to take them out, they would definitely be able to protect the soldiers from the severe cold within a few days.

So, why didn't Zhao Huan take it out?Ordinarily, every sane person knows well that gold, silver and wealth are the wealth of ordinary people. To the emperor, they are just numbers without any specific meaning. Even Sun Quan, who was in the south of the Yangtze River during the Three Kingdoms period, knew this. Why didn't Zhao Huan, who was educated by the emperor since childhood, didn't understand it?This question cannot be answered, because not only he does not understand, but many people in the world do not understand. To give some examples, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng revolted and attacked Luoyang. Because "Shenzong stripped the world of wealth and wealth", he had more money than Emperor Chongzhen, but he just wanted to be an iron cock, and he didn't even take out a penny, and the city was destroyed. dead.When he arrived in Chongzhen, the situation was still the same. He borrowed money from the royal relatives and relatives in the capital to pay the soldiers. He tried his best, but no one in the city responded.

As a result, the city of Beijing was broken, and these rich and noble people handed over everything under Li Zicheng's whip.Not to mention the famous "Ning with Youbang, not with domestic slaves" during the Qing Dynasty. In addition to these, what made Zhao Huan do such a stupid thing was the temptation of Jin Jun.During the 21 consecutive days of strong attacks, Wanyan Zonghan used the invincible weapon of "peace talks" uninterruptedly. To be fair, the tactic of "peace talks" was the most powerful weapon to eliminate the Liao and Song countries after the rise of the Jurchens.It made Yelu Yanxi dream like a fool, and felt that the end was far away; it also made Zhao Huan feel that there would be a moving ray of hope, and there was still a way to survive, and it was far from the last step... So , he is always reluctant to give up the foundation of the country in his heart.

What was the foundation of the Song Dynasty?One word - money! Money has penetrated into the hearts of every Song Dynasty person. The people desperately made money; the scholar-bureaucrats made money with red eyes; Therefore, they all forget that courage, intelligence, strategy, viciousness, etc. are the first elements for the survival of a country. Going back to the first year of Song Jingkang (AD 1126) on the 23rd day of the leap November, on this day, the Jin army took advantage of the victory to attack, and the outer city wall of Kaifeng was in danger. When life and death were at stake, the upper leaders of the Song Dynasty thought of a key person.They researched by citing scriptures and felt that only this person could save them.

Guo Jing. Finally found the fairy.The Prime Minister and the Privy Envoy posted the notices about finding immortals all over the city of Kaifeng. Wang Zonglin, the commander of the deputy capital of the Dianqian Division, the military leader, found a man named Guo Jing among the dragon guards of the army. This man fully meets the standards of a god. He can turn beans into soldiers, make his soldiers invisible, use the method of six armors to capture the leaders of the Jin army such as Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang alive, wipe out 100,000 Jin troops, and break the siege of Kyoto. How exciting!And to do this, he only needs to gather seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven people. Of course, these people are not ordinary people, they are all extraordinary people with celestial ties.They have one thing in common, that is, their birthdays are the same.As long as the conditions are met, even if they are traffickers and pawns, they will bring the Song Dynasty back to life and cause the Jin army to collapse instantly. Zhao Huan, He Li, and Sun Fu all believed these words. Guo Jing was promoted, from deputy capital to doctor Wulue and governor of Yanzhou.He worked actively and quickly assembled the Liujia Shenbing.The composition of the source of soldiers... For example, a street performer named Bo Jian; a monk named Fu Zhilin; a drug seller named Liu Songjie.The one who stands out is a man named Liu Xiaoji, who is very creative and refines the magic weapon. The magic soldiers were divided into arms, including Bian Ding Lishi, Beidou Shenbing, Tianque General and so on.They became a group of mysterious people, isolated from the outside world, leaving people with all kinds of bizarre conjectures. Some people think this is too childish, too naive, too absurd, and it's simply a lie.To entrust the fate of the country and the nation to such a person is pure suicide. In this regard, Sun Fu, the military representative, was furious.He unleashed the greatest anger of his life, yelling at the skeptics, scolding them for being ignorant, ignorant of history, and forgetting all the traditions of the Song Dynasty.In his opinion, Guo Jing's appearance, as well as his identity and ability, are the most correct, normal, and indisputable facts. Because there are precedents. Back in time to more than 150 years ago, when Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi first came to the throne, according to the painting "Longevity Immortal Picture" by the painting saint Wu Daozi, he found Dane who looked exactly like the person in the painting in reality. At that time, Dane was the Marquis of Yulong, the direct capital of Yulong Bow and Arrow. After that, he rose to the top and was promoted to Jiedu Envoy of the Pingyuan Army without doing anything.What does this show?Contacting Guo Jing, both of them are members of the Forbidden Army, and they were both discovered by the emperor, but Guo Jing must be a fairy... Don't you think so?Anyone who dares to despise the late emperor, who is not holy and profaning the law, will be offended and deserve to die! When such a big stick was dropped, no one could speak.As a result, seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-eight gods appeared out of thin air in Kaifeng City, and everyone was looking forward to knowing what these gods could do.But I didn't dare to look forward to it too impatiently, because the gods said that unless the sky collapses and the earth collapses and the catastrophe is over, don't bother him. On the 23rd, the city of Kaifeng seemed to be really about to collapse.Everyone is equal in the face of danger, and some people are terrified, go over the military leaders, go directly to Guo Jing, and ask him to do something quickly, strike lightning or something, and kill the Jin army. Guo Jing asked seriously: "The imperial court asked you to come?" "……no." "No." On this day, they seemed to have a tacit understanding. The official did not go to Guo Jing, and Guo Jing was also very calm.The Jin army failed to cross the city wall in the end, and Kaifeng escaped unharmed. On the 24th, the Jin army continued to attack.He Li and Sun Fu couldn't sit still, they ordered Guo Jing to go to the city.Guo Jing listened to the government very much. In fact, everyone who gained the reputation of a god in the world listened to the government very much, so he got up and left.So, a god and 7,777 soldiers stepped onto the city of Kaifeng.These people walked through a hail of bullets, flames and heavy snow, turned around, and went down again. Before leaving, Guo Jing left behind a large flag, saying that if it were hung on the top of the city, the enemy troops under the city would tremble collectively and be scared to death.Looking at the backs of the gods, the soldiers hung up the flag. The flag flutters over the city of Kaifeng, which looks like an isolated island, and a heavenly king is painted on it. Maybe it really is the spirit of the heavenly king. On this day, the outer city wall of Kaifeng is still from the Song Dynasty.The next day, on the morning of November 25th, the first year of Song Jingkang (1126 A.D.), there was heavy snow and the wind was bitter, and the Jin army took advantage of the cold to attack. The Jurchens who grew up in the bitterly cold north like this kind of weather very much. The cold is their friend. From ancient times to the present, almost every important war of these nomads was launched in winter. On the contrary, the Song army on the top of the city was exhausted and on the verge of collapse.It's been almost a month, and there is no way for anyone to survive the lack of food and clothing and insist on fighting.Especially fundamentally, they are nomadic people. Every winter, they are used to doing nothing. They eat two meals a day, eat less, go to bed early, and wait for the arrival of spring next year. The last moment came, and even Zhao Huan, who was far away in the palace, felt the danger. He ordered the whole army to go to the city and gather all forces to defend.In this regard, the prime minister and the privy envoys disagreed. This is a mess.The god has appeared, he will solve all problems, appease all soldiers, and make everything perfect, what the army needs to do is superfluous. The gods go out to fight. Guo Jing took the magic soldiers to the empty city... You read that right, at this time, there are no professional soldiers on the outer city of Kaifeng, except for Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and a few others, all The soldiers were all driven down.The reason is that the magic soldiers will become invisible after a while, and it will be affected if there are too many people. After casting the spell, the Xuanhua Gate opened wide, and the divine soldiers took the initiative to attack and challenge the Jin army. How grand and intense this scene is!Under the watchful eyes of the main gods, privy envoys, and generals on the top of the city, they rushed towards the swarming golden cavalry.They moved quickly, crossed the moat, met the enemy, retreated towards the moat... all drowned.Guo Jing on the top of the city was furious, saying that he must cast the spell himself. Guo Jing went to the city to fight, and his actions became more rapid. He ran to the south before the Jin army approached, and disappeared under the pursuit of the Jin army. Is the scene above funny?Not funny; is the above scene rare?Not uncommon.From the Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty more than 700 years later, this fearless spirit has been circulating in the land of China, and it has become a tradition.For example, the high-ranking members of the Boxer Regiment drank magic water and charged at the foreign guns of the invaders with their flesh and blood. Even if they were shot and fell to the ground, they still chanted before they died: "... are invulnerable to guns and guns!" The Jin army rushed to the gate of Kaifeng. The infantry of the Jin Army quickly ascended the city and occupied the commanding heights.Outside the city, iron harriers and heavy armored cavalry moved closer to the city gate, responding from inside and outside.At the same time, the Jin army sent people to set fire to the nearest city gate.Over the years, the Jurchens have done too much work of breaking in, and they are very familiar with this whole set of operating procedures. After a while of fuss, the dust finally settled.They felt that the outer city wall was definitely in their hands, so they took a moment to take a look into the city.Afterwards, they were stunned. It's not that they have never seen a big city. When they captured the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom a few years ago, they only looked at the area, which was not much smaller than Kaifeng City.It's not that they haven't seen rich people, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are not much worse than the Song Dynasty.What made them stunned was what happened in front of them. Looking around, our Jin army hadn't gone down to the city yet. Why were the flames burning up below, the shouts of killing were deafening, and people all over the place died? We are still waiting for the Song army to counterattack and take back the city wall!What about people?Where did they all go? The Song army killed people and set fire below, and in just a short while, they achieved a lot of victories.The ordinary people and small officials who were killed were ignored, and the famous people were: the governors Yao Pingzhong, He Qingyan, Chen Keli, Gao Zhen from Zhongshushe, and the eunuch Huang Jingguo. All of them were killed together with their families. I would like to mention Yao Pingzhong in particular. This general is a great hero who defended the city. He contributed a lot to the Kaifeng Outer City's ability to persist for 23 days.The above are those who died between the outer city and the inner city. There was also someone who died outside the city gate. This was a famous fierce man.This person once led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against Yanyun.He holds the destiny of the nation in his hands, and if he advances, the nation will prosper and make extraordinary achievements in the world, and if he is stable, he will enjoy the fruits of victory.Seeing that the enemy was dying, he ran away. He exhausted the country's largest food supply and did not escape the pursuit of the Liao army. Liu Yanqing. Liu Yanqing, who was the guardian of the four walls at the time, fled from the door and was chased and killed by the Jin army.On the contrary is a commander named Qin Yuan.He rushed out with some Baojia, that is, security guards who were not even counted as militia, and encountered the iron kite heavy armored cavalry unit outside the city head-on.The contrast was so disparate that he was doomed, but he fought bravely and escaped. This illustrates a truth, people who can't escape can never escape, waste is always waste, Liu Yanqing ended his ugly life in a clumsy way.Of course, he will not regret that someone will inherit his clumsiness and develop it in the next ten years. Only Zhang Shuye and his son were able to continue fighting and survive in the end.After the miracle disappeared, they fought against the Jin army, retreating while fighting, and then fought against the Song army, retreating while fighting, until they retreated to the edge of the inner city, becoming the only hope for the military. In Kaifeng's triple city, the outer city is 80 miles away, and the inner city is 20 miles away. The living space is suddenly forced to shrink to a quarter of its original size. Hundreds of thousands of citizens are crowded and stampede, scurrying around with the flow of people, not knowing where to go. The city was broken, and the world-famous city that had not been burned for more than 170 years suddenly fell into hell. What made them panic even more was that the army suddenly lost control. People born in peaceful times don't know what kind of monster the army is.It can be sacred, it is a blood descendant of the same clan who guards the homeland, and it is trustworthy at any time, which is the consensus of the people.Unfortunately, it has another side, it will turn into a devil at some point, destroying all, tormenting all, friend or foe. For example mutiny. I would rather think that the Song army at this time was a mutiny, not a mutiny, or a demon.They are also human beings. After nearly a month of starvation, cold, and life-and-death struggle, they suddenly encountered such an absurd thing, and coupled with the stinginess of the royal family in the past, anyone would be so angry that they would die. Are you going to die?Then go to hell! They rushed to the homes of dignitaries and rich merchants, burning, killing, and looting. Maybe the raging fire could warm their frozen bodies. Of course, there are also a large number of street rogues who took advantage of the fire to loot.These scumbags are the most shameful villains in this historical stage.Before long, they will do something even more outrageous. Go back to Zhao Huan. Song Qinzong became mad, and the news of the fall of the outer city spread to the imperial city. He regretted, reviewed, and speculated. He seemed to see all the things in the past clearly, and even improvised to justify his teacher.After that, he calmed down a lot and began to think about his own safety. There is no way, he has nothing but the national treasury and the pile closure.what else can i doAt the critical moment, he thought of the people.The next day, in the early morning of November 26th, he ordered the people to go to Xuandemen to rescue him, to see what these hundreds of thousands of people could come up with for him. On that day, more than 300,000 people flocked to Xuande Gate, which made Zhao Huan feel much better.These men brought him a message and a request. The news is that the Jin Army once again sent envoys, four of whom entered the city yesterday.As soon as they came in, they were held down by the people and chopped into pieces. The requirement was that more than 300,000 Kaifeng citizens asked the emperor for weapons. Outside the city were enemies, and the defenders were unreliable. They had to protect themselves. Zhou, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, was able to release prisoners and distribute weapons to them to go to the front line to fight against the enemy.Now, more than 300,000 people ask Zhao Huan for weapons. What a rare morale. If you make good use of it, who says there is no turning point?At least they can resist for a few more days, waiting for the arrival of King Qin's troops led by Li Gang, Zong Ze and others. However, the situation became very strange. It was Zhao Huan who ordered the people to come to find a solution, but he himself was delayed.The people are tired of waiting.In the unease, some people are out of control again. More than 300,000 people hacked at the Zuoye gate with axes, demanding that the emperor come out.The emperor finally came out, but the atmosphere changed. Originally, the emperor shared the worries with the people and tided over the difficulties together. Now it was like a mutiny escalated. The people killed in front of the palace gate, and the emperor came out to negotiate with the people. Zhao Huan stood on the top of the city tower, leaning on the fence with his wrists exposed, and shouted: "The matter has come to this, what are the soldiers and civilians planning? If you have a plan, you will offer it, and I will listen to it." Afterwards, the people answered. More than 300,000 people answered together, how can people listen?Answer here, Zhao Huan will go here to talk; answer there, Zhao Huan will go there to talk.In the chaos, Zhao Huan looked flustered, and his hat fell off. And so on until the end of the meeting.The people left in despair, and Zhao Huan returned to the palace in a daze.Nothing was obtained, the only result of this rally was to witness the embarrassment of Zhao Song's descendants, and the emperor who was aloof would have such a day. Zhao Huan's appearance made the guard angry.In all fairness, the emperors of the Song Dynasty, even Huizong Zhao Ji, were very kind to those around them, benevolence, generosity, tolerance, these virtues are rare in any dynasty. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, people on the earth know what the ten servants of the Han Dynasty have done; the court of the Tang Dynasty is full of blood and flesh, and the eunuchs and guards are the godfathers of the emperor; the Yuan Dynasty has never integrated into the Central Plains world; There are all kinds of departments, and all kinds of things can happen; the Qing Dynasty...the title they set themselves says everything, except for one master, they are all slaves. There is no trace of humanity at all. Everything has its retribution, and the embarrassment of the Song Dynasty emperor made the guards angry.At that time, there were three people beside Zhao Huan, namely Sun Fu, Mei Zhili, and Lu Haowen.A group of guards rushed over suddenly, and the leader was Du Yuhou Jiang Xuan. He loudly accused that the country has reached this point, and it is all because the chief executive trusts treacherous evil and does not need good people to do it. Sun Fu immediately became angry. It was obvious that he was scolding him, that he was Zaizhi.Treacherous... Who else could be, of course Guo Jing.Strictly speaking, the biggest reason why the Kaifeng Outer City didn't hold up for even a month was that he provoked 7,778 gods.But, is it okay to scold him like this?Can't! Sun Fu chose to fight back. When there was a mutiny outside, he sternly berated Jiang Xuan. Unfortunately, someone stopped him, and Jiang Xuan couldn't kill him.Sun Fu is always making mistakes and being biased, which makes people want to squeeze him to death. However, he has another side.His story is endless, and when that side of him is revealed, everyone has an indescribable feeling in their hearts. Back that night, Zhao Huan rewarded the guards with a lot of gold, silver, wine and food, and talked a lot with them.Talked about escape, talked about guards, but there was no feasible way. It is an unrealistic dream to want hundreds of guards, or thousands of guards to turn things around. When he calmed down, he thought of a very strange thing - why hasn't the Jin army attacked yet?The strongest outer city fell, and the defenders were exhausted and mutinied. Why didn't the Jin army attack the inner city, even the imperial city? A minister gave an explanation, saying that the Jin army did not want to kill them all.After the city was broken yesterday, didn't the Jin army send an envoy for peace talks?At this time, the Song Dynasty should not only think about taking extreme routes, such as desperately fighting or fleeing, but should adapt to the situation.Both the victors want peace talks, so why do the losers break up? Zhao Huan felt that the fog in front of him had been cleared away, and the facts were all there. It seemed that the Jin people were not so cruel.His heart became more relaxed, and he was able to think about problems, such as sending someone out of the city tomorrow to meet the people of the Kingdom of Jin. Of course he didn't know that the real reason why the Jin army didn't attack was the people of Kaifeng City.They killed the envoys, searched for weapons, and started street fighting, all of which made Wanyan Zonghan and the others deeply afraid.There are more than 300,000 people in the city. If they suddenly face desperation and fight back on the verge of death, the Jin army will definitely pay a heavy price. So, how about giving another way out?Wouldn't it be better for the people in the city to face desperation, get used to it, and endure it? The wonderful thing is that some "smart and rational" people in the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty will help the Jin army to extend this feeling, and let them follow this line of thought to improve the so-called peace talks. The next day, the Song Dynasty sent envoys for peace talks, led by King Ji Zhao Xu and Prime Minister He Li.Prime Minister He dawdled and refused to go on the road. Zhao Huan urged him many times, but he still looked back frequently and refused to leave.This is really embarrassing, the country is facing a crisis, and the prime minister is cowardly, what should people do with him? At this time, a person came out and scolded him in the hall: "This is what happened to the country. It's all your fault. Now that the country is in danger, why should you be blamed if you die?" This man's surname was Li, his name was Ruoshui, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at that time. Li Ruoshui, formerly known as Ruobing, styled Qingqing, was born in Shuidebao (now Hebei) in Quzhou, Guangping. He was born in 1093 at the age of thirty-three.I have nothing to write about him. Every Chinese knows his name, and every Chinese knows his deeds and integrity.So, why rap?Wouldn't it be better to let history go on and let Li Gong approach that day by himself? Back in the day, He Li finally got on the horse, his feet were too weak to pedal, and he had to be supported to sit still.Along the way, from the time he set off from the imperial palace to the time he walked out of Xuande Gate, his whip fell to the ground three times. Such courage, how to negotiate?But please note that I only said such courage, not such a person, because He Li is not the arrogant and corrupt veteran civil servant in people's impression.Looking at his resume, we can know that he is very young, very progressive, and even very righteous. He Li, styled Wenzhen, was born in Xianjingjian (now Renshou, Sichuan).Born in 1089 AD, he was thirty-seven years old.He was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115 A.D.), and his official career was very smooth. After the first defense of Tokyo, he became Yushi Zhongcheng.In this position, he impeached Wang Fu, one of the six thieves, and sent the national thief out of the capital, causing him to lose his head on the way. What a joy. But the current situation has changed, the world has become too absurd, and the dignified Prime Minister Song has turned into a joke.Tang Ke was hunted down by the citizens of Kaifeng and survived by fleeing on horseback; He Li, as if going to rescue the field, went to work on the fire line and took over this hot potato. What is he willing to do?He had no choice. As of this time, he had only been the prime minister for less than half a month. Look at his achievements: he advocated the appointment of Zhao Gou, Wang Boyan, Zong Ze and others to return to the army; How are these doing? Most history books highlight that he dropped his riding whip three times and label him cowardly, incompetent, and buffoonish.Is this too sloppy and too demanding?After all, he is just a civil servant.Even the military generals are unwilling to provoke Jin Bing, he is stage fright like a scholar, isn't it normal? But if you forgive him, you can't get around Guo Jing, a swindler.The reason why the magic soldiers were able to climb the city wall, except for Sun Fu, was because of his greatest strength... He Li went out of the city and approached Jinying. He thought of many dangerous and embarrassing scenes of meeting, and even thought that Wanyan Zonghan would kill him directly.The fact was beyond his expectation, the legendary fierce and brutal Jin Jun was actually very gentle and rational, even polite. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang said that since ancient times, where there is south, there is north, and neither can be lacking. What they are asking for now is just to cede some land. He Li is overjoyed!There are two meanings in this sentence: first, where there is south, there is also north, and neither can be lacking.This is an acknowledgment of the existence of the Song Dynasty. Obviously, the Jin army did not want to kill them all; second, the Jin people made a price, but only ceded the land.Judging from past practice, there are regulations on the cession of land in wars, and generally speaking, it will not exceed the land already occupied by the victor. In other words, it is likely that the Yellow River was the boundary, and the Song Dynasty was able to keep the natural danger of the Yellow River and the entire Gyeonggi area.This was just like a dream, He Li even thought, if he had known this was the case, why would he fight a war? On the same day, the leaders of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty ended their talks happily. Both sides were very satisfied and believed that this was a civilized, mutually beneficial and successful conference, which would be helpful to the development of both countries.He Li left in a hurry, and he wanted to go back to the city to tell the emperor the good news.Wanyan Zonghan and the others kindly sent them out of the camp. Before parting, they made a small request. They hope to meet the legendary Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Ji who is elegant and knowledgeable outside the city. After returning to the city, more than 300,000 people in Kaifeng breathed a sigh of relief... It turns out that it is really not the end of the mountain!This also includes Emperor Zhao Huan.Zhao Huan was about to collapse, and suddenly felt relieved under the heavy pressure, which made him so excited that he couldn't believe it.For this reason, he agreed to everything, and even offered to say that he could go out of the city instead of his father Song Huizong. This sentiment infected the entire officialdom.On that day, none of the top officials went home, so they exchanged glasses and drank a meal of celebration wine in the palace's deliberation hall.During the meeting, they unanimously decided to strike while the iron is hot and let the peace talks proceed immediately, because the situation has become worse and worse.For example, Jin soldiers climbed over the outer city wall in groups of three or four, killing people and looting in the city.The princes, nobles and wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng are in danger all the time. The Jin army is destroying the city defense of Kaifeng. They dug the roads between the gates, sent the iron kite heavy cavalry to the city wall, set fire to the urn tower and all the Song army's artillery mounts... All this shows that the peace talks are delayed every day. , the danger will increase by one point. These ministers suggested that Zhao Huan should go out of the city as soon as possible to meet Jin Jun. Just do what you say, Song Chao races against time, before this month is over, in a change of luck, he is in a hurry to set off.In the first year of Song Jingkang (1126 A.D.) on November 30th, Zhao Huan took Prime Minister He Li, Zhongshu Minister Chen Guoting, and Tongzhi Privy Council member Sun Fu out of the city to Jinying. The city was guarded by Cao Fu and Zhang Shuye. A historic moment has arrived, the Han emperor of the Central Plains was cornered by the alien invaders for the second time.More than 800 years ago, the two last emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jinhuai Emperor Sima Chi and Jin Mindi Sima Ye, were captured by the Huns and died in humiliation. How similar the history is, except for the result, even the process is almost exactly the same.For example, the decline of the Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Zhao Huan, and the two Sima in front were just paying the bill for their parents. The difference is Zhao Huan's mood at this time.Infected by He Li, he felt that although this meeting was dishonorable and dishonorable, it was not a matter of humiliation, because the Jinren were so qualified. That day, they rode out of the city.Starting from Nanxunmen, there are all Jin troops, and the signposts of these activities lead them all the way to...Qingcheng.This is far from Jinying, let alone Wanyan Zonghan.The eldest prince of the Kingdom of Jin sent a message saying that he was free, but his second brother, Zong Wang, was away and was near the Liu Family Temple. He couldn’t make it back today, so he had to wrong the officials of the Song Dynasty to sleep in Qingcheng for one night and meet up tomorrow. . Zhao Huan was astonished. Such a clumsy excuse is worse than nothing. This is blatant neglect and a huge insult to an emperor.Could this be the quality of Jin Guo people, the good news brought back by He Li? He couldn't allow him to think too much, so he had to sleep in Qingcheng that night.At dawn the next day, the people from the Kingdom of Jin arrived very early.Only then did he realize how easy it was yesterday. The person who came was still not Wanyan Zonghan, but just brought his new message, saying that this was not a private date, but a representative of two countries, and that the Song Dynasty had to write down the form first, in order to make the meeting meaningful. This is the meaning of the question, and it did not surprise Zhao Huan and others.The original intention of their visit this time was for peace talks, and to put it bluntly, it was a conditional surrender.Even the outer city has fallen, as long as you can save your life, what else can you not agree to? Zhao Huan asked the accompanying descendants of the imperial pen holder to write this surrender form.He set the tone for this document, saying that the four words "please and proclaim the vassal" should be highlighted.Calling yourself a vassal means acknowledging that you are a vassal state. The surrender form was quickly written. Zhao Huan sent someone to send it over, but it was returned.The reason is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read it several times carefully, and felt that the words and sentences were loose and the literary grace was not enough. Song Dynasty people are very depressed! History has not left Wanyan Zonghan's academic qualifications, so we don't know how talented he is, but we can basically estimate it. For example, the Jurchens have only had writing in the past ten years, and Wanyan Zonghan is already dozens of years old. Learning is only at the level of an literacy student, so why should he criticize the Song Dynasty literati who are at the top of human education? The Song Dynasty had to be rewritten immediately.In order to pass the test, Sun Zhi wrote several times in a row, but all of them were returned without exception.In the end, Zhao Huan got bored, so he sent He Li, the number one scholar of the year and now the prime minister, to complete the task together with Sun and He! Wanyan Zonghan finally expressed his true wish.He likes the four-six couplet sentence pattern of the Han people. He thinks that if the descending table is written as a song, it will be so novel and unique. It is definitely a work that has never been seen in ancient times. His Wanyan Zonghan's name will definitely be passed down through the ages with this demotion. As a result, a list of four and six battles was released, not to mention that literature and art are wonderful, no matter how bad things are, they can be elegant.For example, "...the city of three circles has lost the guard of the fence; the temple of the seventh generation is almost ashes. I am tired of sweating and horses, and dare to delay the request to lead the sheep... The emperor is guilty of resignation, and the humble minister Sacrifice your life and obey orders...the country will not die, and the universe will be safe again." Looking at this list, Wanyan Zonghan read it over and over again, and his hard work paid off. He found a few more mistakes. He erased the word "Dajin" in "Emperor Dajin" and put the word "Dajin" in it. The four words "emperor" are all erased to ensure the uniqueness of Wanyan Wu's begging position; "guilty" is changed to "immoral" to show that it is very just for Jin to send troops; "universe" is changed to " Huanhai", re-determined the Song Dynasty. Words such as "universe" are too big, and they are no longer applicable to the Han people, and can only be used exclusively by the Jurchens. After finishing these, he sent someone to bring the third message to Zhao Huan. He is very busy today, and the meeting date is set for the next working day. He wasn't lying, he had a really busy day.He sent a man named Xiao Qing into the city.This person passed through the inner city, entered the imperial city, and lived in Shangshu Province.From this moment on, all government orders of the Song Dynasty must be approved by this person before they can be issued and implemented. The regime has been taken over. Zhao Huan was at a loss outside the city. He was concentrating on cultivating Dafa to prepare for facing Yan Zonghan the next day.Of course, the premise is that there are no other moths. On the second day of December, the sun rose, and Yao Mozi appeared again.完颜宗翰有了新的要求,说今天一定会见面,但是得有宋朝所有的上层人物在场才行,尤其是太上皇赵佶,他是这次战争的主要责任人,他不在场怎么可以? 赵桓死活不同意,他恳求了很多次,终于让金人收回成命。关于这一点,历代的史学家们都说赵桓真孝顺,无论如何不让父亲靠近危险。但是参照前面赵桓剪除父亲党羽,把老爹关进深宫,连一杯酌来的酒都不喝等事实,这实在是不像啊! 真实原因是什么呢?一切都是权力在作怪。在中国,天大地大孝道最大。太上皇出面,至少从道义上讲,儿子必须闪在一边装鹌鹑。这对赵桓是致命的打击,会给赵佶创造绝佳的复辟机会,比如说宋朝变成从属国,以赵佶二十多年的皇帝经验,保证让金国享受更好的服务。 一旦既成事实,赵桓会变成最大的悲剧。 条件谈妥,开始布置会场。也许是灭辽国的时候,耶律延禧太不配合了,一个玩命跑,一个使劲追,搞得像打猎一样,实在太不庄重了,所以完颜宗翰这次想换个口味。 他派人用青毡把青城斋宫屋脊两端的鸱尾裹住,用帏幕把墙上有龙形壁画的地方都遮住,再面向北摆上香案,最后才让赵桓出来亮相。 宋朝君臣站在香案前边,面向北方几千里开外的完颜吴乞买低头致敬,旁边一个会说汉语的金国人抑扬顿挫地念着独一无二的四六句降表。这时,天上飘着大雪,世界一片洁白。我忽然间想到,好多年以前,赵匡胤陈桥兵变的时候,也是这样一个大冷天……
