Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Searching the Mountains and Seas to Capture Zhao Gou

Zhang Jun was promoted to know the Privy Council.This year, he was thirty-three years old. Since Kou Zhun in the Song Dynasty, there had been no prime minister younger than him.This is nothing, just a title, it depends on his strength. Zhang Jun announced Fuchuan and Shaanxi, and Xu acted cheaply. In other words, he is actually the person in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he can do whatever he wants with regard to military and political affairs.This is unparalleled power. Throughout the more than 170 years of the Song Dynasty, I can't think of anyone who has ever been so prominent.

However, no one envied him. At this time, Shaanxi and Sichuan were precarious.Looking at the terrain, these two places are above Hangzhou in the southeast direction.Since ancient times, if you want to occupy the southeast, you must first go to the northwest, and then advance along the Yangtze River with the wind, and the southeast almost surrenders without a fight. The people of the Kingdom of Jin are good at fighting, and they are clearly aware of this. As early as two years ago, in the first year of Jianyan, when the Jingkang Revolution had just ended, the action began.The Supreme Commander of the Jin Army, Wan Yan Zonghan personally led the army to forcibly cross the Yellow River and capture Luoyang, and then allocated half of the troops to the ever-victorious general Wan Yan Loushi to advance westward and challenge the strongest Western Army base camp in the Song Dynasty.

This was an unprecedentedly violent collision. It can be said that since the rise of the Kingdom of Jin, it has encountered the strongest opponent.The former Khitan people were ostentatious. During the period of annihilation, they never fought a decent decisive battle with heavy troops. The fall of Kaifeng was even more a joke.The Song Dynasty actually strictly ordered its own army not to be king, which was tantamount to surrendering the capital of the country. The Western Army is different. This is the hometown of famous generals, where the war has never ceased for a hundred years. Even if the Jin Army sends the strongest generals, it is impossible to take advantage of it.

At the beginning of the war, Wanyan Loushi led more than 10,000 cavalry by surprise to cross the Yellow River on ice at night and captured Jingzhao Mansion.At this moment, the entire Northwest trembled, and the Western Army was suddenly startled. The Jinren achieved something that Xixia hadn't done in a hundred years.But that's all. The Western Army's resistance was fierce and timely.After that, despite Wanyan Lou's various plans, the Jin Army never achieved greater success. When the war entered a stalemate, Zhang Jun took the initiative to ask to go to the northwest and fight the Jin army on the front line.At that time, his vision, courage, and patriotic loyalty were all second to none and unparalleled.

Zhang Jun traveled westward with strong ambitions. Whether it was at that time or in later generations, even those who opposed him admitted that he definitely had the ambition to be sworn in with the Jin people. He has a big thing to do, and it will take a long process, and it will take a year to get results.At this time, the focus of the world is still on Zhao Gou.At this time, Zhao Gou was twenty-three years old. In just three months, he experienced a lot of life tragedies such as defeat, hunting, loss of sexual ability, coup d'etat, and forced abdication. He was really declining to the extreme.

After learning from the pain, he realized his own problems and became more sensible. For example, he issued an edict of guilt.This time he wrote the Edict of Sin, his attitude has never been more serious, and he said some truths: "... Ignorant of the long-term plan of the state, ignorant of the general plan of chaos, no virtue of suing others, no handle of controlling ministers... You should cultivate yourself deeply Province, repentance and blame, harsh words, and will be accepted." He said that he didn't know how to run the country, he didn't know how to suppress the rebellion, he had no character, no one admired him, and his courtiers didn't listen to him, so he changed everything in the future!

Speaking of this, it can't be more profound.It's a pity that God still hasn't forgiven him.Not long after, his only son fell ill, and all the people in the palace waited on him carefully. In the end, something serious happened, and a palace official kicked over a tripod.Unfortunately, when the copper tripod hit the brick floor, adults would be startled, let alone sick children. Three-year-old Zhao Yang twitched in fright on the spot.Zhao Gou was furious and ordered the palace man to be pulled out and beheaded immediately.As a result, the head of the person outside the house fell to the ground, and his son died inside the house.

The death of Zhao Gou's son is equivalent to the death of a widow's son. Now it's completely screwed!Sadness came from it, and it could not be cut off. Zhao Gou cried loudly in front of the chief executives several times. Of course, he confessed before crying that most of the crying was for his father, his mother, his aunt, and his brother. No matter how hard it is, we have to live. Zhao Gou wiped away his tears and pondered about safety issues.After thinking for a long time, he wrote several letters to Jin Guo.The opening part of the letter is the essence. He wrote: Song Kangwang Zhao Gou would like to write a letter to Your Excellency Marshal.

It used to be: Emperor Zhao Gou of the Great Song Dynasty wrote a letter to Marshal Dajin. Low-key to this point, even more low-key than the Queen Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty, at least Li Yu also claimed to be the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.And Jin Guo's response was: Wait a moment, in a few days, we will send troops to invade, this time led by your new friend Wanyan Zongbi.I wish the acquaintance is destined, and I wish forever! It was July, and there were more and more news about the Jin soldiers going south, so Zhao Gou had to make two-handed preparations.He respectfully asked Queen Mother Meng to leave Hangzhou with most of his harem and all members of the royal family and take refuge in Hongzhou.

When the Empress Dowager drove away, people discovered that this majesty, who claimed to be neither lustful nor lustful, had developed the harem beauties from zero to hundreds of beauties in just four months, all kinds of concubines, There are a lot of wives, it is really dazzling and innumerable.Check it out, there are Concubine Pan Xian, Mrs. Wang of Shuguo, Mrs. Xiao of Kangguo, Mrs. Wang of Heguo, Mrs. Zhu of Jiaguo, Mrs. Wu of Chengguo, Mrs. Zhang of Runguo, Mrs. Sun of Huiguo, Mrs. Zhi Bi Zhang, Dianyu Sun, Zhibi Liu, Shangfu Zhu, Zhang Cairen, etc. Waste of resources, so far! After the beauties left, Zhao Gou calmly chose his own security guard.I don't know if it's because of habit, but he still regards the left-behind adults in Kaifeng as his savior.

At this time, the left-behind adult was surnamed Du, not Zong anymore. But Zhao Gou thinks this is better.He compared it, and found that Du Chong's loyalty was not inferior to Zong Ze's, and Du Chong's courage was even more difficult for Zong Ze to match.In terms of killing spies and thieves, Du Chong was greatly rewarded by the entire Jianyan Group. Well, although Du Chong dug up the Yellow River and caused the Jin soldiers to directly attack Yangzhou, causing huge casualties, material losses, and "withering" incidents, his original intention was still good. For this powerful tough guy, Zhao Gou gave enough power.Du Chong, who stayed behind in Tokyo and concurrently served as the Deputy Envoy of Xuanfu Disposal, controlled Huainan, Jingdong, and Jingxi Roads. Zhao Gou entrusted Du Chong with a large expanse of land from the south of Kaifeng to the Yangtze River.The importance of this piece of land is to some extent greater than that of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Canada together. That is to say, the maximum power control index created by Zhang Jun has been broken. In this regard, Du Chong sat in the city of Kaifeng and delivered an impassioned pre-war speech. He said: "The current situation is difficult, and the handsome ministers must not sit on the plan, and should take it as a matter of risk." In other words, he will lead by example, and after the war, he will go to the front line in person, and meet the Jin army head-to-head between the arrows and stones!How brave, this passage passed across the Yangtze River and arrived in Hangzhou City, and the entire Jianyan Group cheered for it. Soon after, the Jin army was dispatched, and it was still far away from the closed city. Du Chong led the main force of the left-behind division out of the city...not to fight, but to flee quickly to the south bank of the Yangtze River. You read that right, it is the south bank of the Yangtze River.Du Chong's escape was decisive and thorough. Once he started to escape, he directly crossed the Gyeonggi and Huaihe areas and arrived at Jiankangfu (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), an important town on the south bank of the Yangtze River. As for Kaifeng, the capital of the country, Du Chong entrusted him to his deputy Guo Zhongxun.However, he soon met Guo Zhongxun in Jiankang Mansion. It turned out that Guo Zhongxun handed over Kaifeng to the left-behind magistrate Cheng Changyu. However, they soon saw Cheng Changyu again, and Cheng Changyu shifted the responsibility to Quan Dongdong's left-behind Shangguan Wu... When these people fled, they took as many soldiers as possible with them.When they met in Jiankang Mansion, Kaifeng City was basically full of ordinary people who were too hungry to walk. Kaifeng fell in February of the fourth year of Jianyan in Song Dynasty (AD 1130). The most glorious, richest, and most civilized city in human history has been full of ruins and turned into a hell on earth.As for the former population of one million, there are only tens of thousands left, and only a few thousand of them are middle-aged men.If anyone walked in, they would see nothing but starving corpses strewn all over the place. This is all Du Chong's "credit". If you have "merit", you must be rewarded.Zhao Gou promoted Du Chong to be a member of the Privy Council. In his promotion speech, he wrote that Du Chong "served the country and forgot his family, and gained the courage of his husband; predicting the enemy at the opportunity, he has the style of an ancient famous general." Du Chong is actually a strong husband and a famous ancient general! It's a pity that the famous general didn't appreciate it. After the promotion report was issued, Du Chong immediately suffered from a stroke, that is, cerebral thrombosis or cerebral hemorrhage, and fell ill and couldn't get out of bed.This person claimed that due to physical reasons, he was unable to work, so naturally he was unable to take up the post. Zhao Gou knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and understood that it was Du Chong who suspected that the official was too young.This is easy to handle. After an imperial decree was issued, Privy Du was promoted from the West Mansion to the East Mansion and became the Deputy Prime Minister. Du Chong's stroke healed instantly, and he went to work happily four days later.As a deputy prime minister, he also led the Xuanfu envoys of Jiang and Huaihe, commanded more than 100,000 troops, and guarded Jiankang. Two months later, the Jin army crossed the river to attack Jiankang, and the Song army fought against it. Under the leadership of the capital commander Chen Que, Yue Fei fought fiercely with the Jin army at Majiadu Ferry.When the victory or defeat was not yet decided, someone in the Song army sold out and fled, resulting in a complete defeat for the entire army. After cleaning up the remnants, Song Jun found that the chief general was missing.Later, they learned that Du Chong was already a native of the Kingdom of Jin when he arrived on the north shore. The story of Du Chong is not over yet. He flourished in the Kingdom of Jin, and his official status became bigger and bigger, which is no worse than that in the Song Dynasty.It can be seen that the capable are omnipotent, and they are martyrs and ancient famous generals everywhere. Zhao Gou was aggrieved to death in Jiangnan.After Du Chong surrendered to the enemy, he couldn't eat or sleep for several days in a row. He was troubled by a problem all the time. He couldn't figure it out, but he had to figure it out! ——I treated Du Chong so well and promoted him from an ordinary official to a top dignitary, why would he reward me like this? ("It's very generous of me to serve as a common official to worship the prime minister. Why is it so?") You should also think about this question. It is very interesting. For example, why did Du Chong run all the way from Kaifeng to Jiankang, but Zhao Gou promoted him to be prime minister instead of beheading him? In fact, it is not complicated. Du Chong's escape is very similar to what Zhao Gou did before. Both of them regarded Kaifeng City and the people as worthless. Zhao Gou didn't think there was anything wrong, but was very happy.At this critical juncture, when Du Chong crossed the river, it was clear that God blessed Zhao Gou and sent him a Dharma protector, but the Dharma protector turned against him.This is strange, why is this happening? This is another huge blow to Zhao Gou after the changes of Miao and Liu.This is a good thing to a certain extent. Since then, Zhao Gou's vision of seeing people has improved. After the Song army crossed to the south, except for Du Chong, there was no one who bowed his knees to serve the enemy except Du Chong. Du Chong surrendered, Jiankang fell, and the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongbi came straight to Hangzhou.At this time, Hangzhou was renamed Lin'an, which means "temporary settlement", which means that it still has the ambition to restore the Central Plains.Of course, "near peace" is also an explanation, perhaps closer to Zhao Gou's wish at this time.With the enemy at hand, Zhao Gou had no choice but to escape. Don't despise his escape behavior, because since he ascended the throne, there has never been anyone around him who can defeat the Jin army head-on, which made him have to run.Don't mention Zongze, Zongze has never been by his side, and he has no record of fighting and winning against top generals of the Jin army such as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Loushi.No matter how well Kaifeng City recovered, it made him feel uncertain. So how to run? Two roads, dry road or sea road. The dry road was immediately rejected by the owner of Jianyan Group.Running on land with the Jurchens is really looking for abuse.How can those people stay on horseback for days and nights, and solve their daily problems on horseback? In terms of sea routes, they had already prepared. Zhao Gou prepared many ships on the seashore of Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang).This time, he made repeated orders, not allowing any eunuch to borrow it privately!The boats are there, but obviously not enough. Zhao Gou equipped himself with a full set of ruling team, and all the family members of these officials will accompany him.In addition, there is a full set of Zhubanzhi guards, sixty people are assigned to each ship, and these people also have family members. If they all board the ship, the ticket will not be enough. The new Prime Minister Lu Yihao issued an order, saying that each class can bring two family members on board, which is enough. After the order was promulgated, the whole class was full of curses.The class members were furious, stopped Lu Yihao on the way, and asked him: "We have parents and wives, who are these two seats for?" No matter how you calculate it, it will destroy the family relationship. This is the bottom line that the Chinese people value most and cannot touch! So what, Lu Yihao is a person with a temper above everything else, even Zhang Jun admires him, saying that Lu Gong is very arrogant.At this time, faced with questioning, Prime Minister Lu not only felt that his order was correct, but also became furious and wanted to deal with the group of guards who offended his dignity. The class members went mad with anger, and drew out their knives on the spot to cut him down.At the critical moment, Fan Zongyin, the deputy prime minister, stepped forward and pulled Lu Yihao into the palace. Zhao Gou in the palace was very peaceful. He picked up the pen gently and quietly, and wrote a letter to the class members in the form of an official document, telling them that this matter was ill-considered, and that other arrangements had been made, and the class members would not be separated from each other. .Don't worry, everyone, we are a big family living together, we can't do without anyone... The class members felt very warm and dispersed with confidence. On the second day, Zhao Gou put on his armor, held a bow and arrow, and led the imperial army and Lu Yihao's pro-jun general Yao Duan to rush into the Banzhi Suwei camp.Some of the terrified squadrons went to the room to escape, and some jumped over the wall to run, but it was useless. Arrows rained down, and all the fleeing people were shot down.Zhao Gou himself fired two arrows and shot two people down from the roof. The emperor himself frightened the Banzhis, and they surrendered en masse.After that, Zhao Gou was still in a bad mood. He killed seventeen people in the lead, and then disbanded the whole squad and divided them into various units. The rebels no longer exist. This is Zhao Gou after the Miao and Liu coups. He has become much calmer and more ruthless, knowing that he is going to kill the enemy.Every time I see this scene, I feel sorry. Zhao Gou did not reflect on his behavior after the coup and thus became better. Instead, he summed up such a lesson: be tolerant, be ruthless, and kill if you take action! It can be seen that the essence of a person is the most important thing. The benevolent sees benevolence, and the yin sees danger. Wanyan Zongbi marched forward with his army, and after crossing the river, he went straight to Zhao Gou, from Jiankang to Lin'an, from Lin'an to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and from Yuezhou to Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang).Zhao Gou felt that Mingzhou was not good, so he fled to Dinghai, and Wanyan Zongbi also chased him. Zhao Gou went into the sea. The boat has been tempting Jianyan Group in the sea.To be honest, no one wants to go into the sea until the last moment.It is not just a security issue, but also a government image issue. Zhao Gou will only take that step at the moment of death. Zhao Gou couldn't care less, he went into the sea by boat.The first goal is Wenzhou.Unfortunately, at such a short distance, he was still on the coastline, but he encountered a strong wind and rain, and his fleet was blown away. His troop strength has dropped sharply, not to mention the Jin army, even encountering pirates may cause accidents.After the storm, and approaching the New Year's Eve, Zhao Gou met the so-called "New Year's Wind" very punctually, that is, a soothing southerly wind that lasted for many days.The boat was full of sails, and it was still walking slowly, walking, walking, Zhao Gou wanted to cry, but his speed was slower than that of a donkey, Jin Jun will definitely catch up! On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Song Jianyan (1130 A.D.), Zhao Gou's fleet anchored in the sea.The only joy for the monarchs and ministers during the New Year is that a sea fish accidentally jumped into the cabin while practicing bouncing.Mrs. Wu who accompanied her, who later became Empress Wu, quickly congratulated her, saying that this was "the auspiciousness of the white fish of Zhou people". The monarch and ministers are overjoyed. Because King Wu of Zhou also took a boat, and a fish jumped into the cabin. After that, King Wu won and became the co-lord of the world.But it was King Wu who went to attack the Shang Dynasty, okay, he was not driven by the Shang Dynasty to run around all over the sea! On the second day of the first lunar month, the sea was very calm.In the third day of junior high school, Zhao Gou was going to starve to death because there was no food.He went ashore on foot, found a small temple and went in to beg for food. The monk took out five coarse grain cakes, and Zhao Jiudi ate three and a half in one go. In such a miserable and embarrassing situation, I had to go back to the sea and endure it.Zhao Gou's fleet was drifting along the coast of Wenzhou, changing its route and berth all the time.This kind of life lasted until mid-February, when Zhao Gou went ashore and lived in Wenzhou Prefecture Yamen. Because Wanyan Zongbi finally withdrew his troops. This Wanyan Zongbi was very different from the previous generals of the Jin Army, he seemed to be addicted to fighting.He chased Zhao Gou all the way, winning every battle and conquering every attack along the way, from the Yangtze River to Changguo County, and he still didn't give up. He robbed many merchant ships and formed a navy.Knowing that his men were not very good at swimming, he still sent them into the sea to arrest people. As a result, he met Zhang Gongyu, the sea ship led by the Privy Council of the Song Army head-on.Amateurs were beaten up by professionals before they came to their senses and stayed away from the sea ever since. It is said that Wanyan Zongbi was very unwilling at that time. He looked into the sea and found a small mountain.He asked the locals where it was, and replied that it was Yangshan.He smiled wryly, and said: "Back then, when the Tang Dynasty marched westward, they reached Yinshan Mountain. This time, I marched eastward and reached Yangshan Mountain, so it's time to stop." So withdrew. On the way to withdraw the troops, they burned, killed and looted all the way. Mingzhou, Lin'an and other super cities in southern China were looted.After looting everything, Yan Zongbi slaughtered the city, and after killing everything, he set fire to it and burned it to ashes as much as possible. There were too many things to grab, so we had to go by water.The Jin army withdrew northward along the canal, broke Xiuzhou (now Jiaxing, Zhejiang), took Pingjiang Mansion, and occupied Changzhou.Up to this time, Wanyan Zongbi's military operation had come to a successful conclusion.He marched thousands of miles and was invincible. He chased the Song Dynasty emperor Zhao Gou and had nowhere to hide. He was called "searching mountains and seas to catch Zhao Gou" in history, which can be called a glorious chapter in the history of Jurchen warfare. It's really awesome. However, the place not far in front of him is called Zhenjiang Mansion. Zhenjiang Prefecture is located at the top of the northwest of the Yangtze River Delta. On the southeast side is the Taihu Lake Plain, which is extremely low and flat, with dense water networks and criss-cross ditches.Zhenjiang Prefecture itself is just the opposite. Most of the land is hilly, and the Ningzhen Mountain Range and Maoshan Mountain Range are all within the territory. Between the mountains is the most important water system in southern China. The Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal converge in Zhenjiang Prefecture.Such an important location is destined to be a battleground for military strategists.When Wanyan Zongbi approached this place, he was very careful.He sent people to inquire around and got a piece of news. The strongest Song army in the vicinity is Han Shizhong, the governor of Western Zhejiang Province. He has heard of this man for a long time, and he can be called a strong enemy.However, according to reliable information, this person was putting up lanterns and festoons in Xiuzhou at this time, after the Lantern Festival, to celebrate the withdrawal of the Jin army. It can be seen that this person is just a lifeless person. With this in mind, Wanyan Zongbi drove a huge fleet out of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, entered the Yangtze River system, and moored between Jiaoshan and Jinshan.In the evening of that day, Wanyan Zongbi was very militarized. Despite his certainty and contempt for the Song army, he was still fully prepared for war. He saw a temple on Jinshan, which was said to be "Zhenjiang Jinshan Dragon King Temple".It is the highest point in the vicinity, and after climbing it, it is enough to observe the entire area.So he took four generals and rode up the mountain. The moonlight is bright and clear, and the river is tidal.Wanyan Zongbi was still some distance away from the Dragon King Temple, when suddenly there was a drumbeat, and a large number of ambush soldiers from the Song army rushed out from the temple. On the shore behind him, more ambushes appeared everywhere, cutting off his retreat!The five Jurchens, including Wanyan Zongbi, fell into heavy siege.As long as the Song army successfully encircled him, he could not escape the disaster. It's a pity that the people in the temple obviously came out early.According to the original plan, the ambush soldiers on the shore started first, and the ambush soldiers in the temple could arrest people only after the retreat was cut off.At this time, Wanyan Zongbi was shocked and ran out desperately.The two generals beside him were shot down.He fell off his horse, bruised and bruised, and ran even faster. Finally, he ran out. After returning to Daying, Wanyan Zongbi understood everything, he was tricked by Han Shizhong.The lanterns in Xiuzhou were a smokescreen. Han Shizhong had brought people to Zhenjiang long ago, and he even expected that he would go to the commanding heights of the region to look out. It was a surprise to be able to escape this hurdle, it was a mortal situation. Frightened then angry!Wanyan Zongbi was actually angry. He burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes all the way. At this time, he was just attacked by the victim, and he was so angry that he was dying. He wrote a letter of war and sent it to Han Shizhong. It was a date for the men to fight to the death, to see who can beat who!This proposal was happily accepted by Han Shizhong.History has proved that everyone's challenge is the same. Han Shizhong has never faced any challenge in his life. Around March 17th in the fourth year of Song Jianyan (1130 A.D.), the Song and Jin armies fought fiercely on the Yangtze River near Jinshan.The strength of the two sides is completely unequal in terms of numbers. Wanyan Zongbi, that is, Jin Wushu's side has 100,000 troops, while Han Shizhong has only 8,000.However, it didn't matter. Firstly, Han Shizhong got used to it, and he never had an advantage in numbers when he fought with anyone; secondly, this battle took place on the water. Han Shizhong came prepared, with tall ships and majestic sails. They were standard warships, and some of them could go to sea.On the other hand, on Jin Wushu's side, his boats were all civilian boats looted from the south of the Yangtze River, and they were filled with looted supplies, even if it was a small sampan, he couldn't pick one. On the river that day, Han Shizhong's navy was rampaging among piles of Jin army boats.People who are used to watching modern war blockbusters may not be able to imagine what the scene was like.Personally, I think it's about the same effect as a bathtub knocking over a footbath.It's just that the ratio of troops is too disparate, one hundred thousand versus eight thousand, no matter how soft it is, if there are too many ants, it will kill the elephant. At the critical moment, Anguo's wife, Mrs. Liang, beat the drums to help the battle. The Song army was full of courage and pushed the Jin army back to the south bank.During the fierce battle, Jin Wushu's son-in-law, King Longhu, was also captured by Song Jun. After the disastrous defeat, Jin Wushu's true nature was fully exposed. His courage was gone, and he lost even the determination to fight decisively. He was just a bullying robber. He was beaten so badly this time, and his first reaction was to beg for mercy. Jin Wushu sent someone to see Han Shizhong, saying that he would return all the looted property to him, and buy him a road back to the north shore, would it work? No way! Jin Wushu increased the price, saying that he would dedicate the best horse in the Jinying to him as compensation, okay? no! Begging for mercy failed, Jin Wushu decided to go up the river.With so many boats, he didn't believe that Han Shizhong's men and horses could cover the entire surface of the river. As long as there was a gap, he could row to the north bank. The two armies fought fiercely along the river, fighting and fighting.Han Shizhong really used that little force to pin down Jin Wushu's troops on the south bank, which was equivalent to driving them upstream. Not far ahead is Huang Tiandang. Huangtiandang is a branch lake located between Qixia Mountain and Longtan in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Simply put, it is a part of the water channel diverted from the Yangtze River. There is no source in front of it. The channel is very narrow and full of silt and weeds. Such a dead end is a natural Jedi.Jin Wushu, an outlander, was half a road idiot and half forced. After entering, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he wanted to come out, Han Shizhong's navy had already covered the river. Close the door and beat the dog. Jin Wushu was miserable.At this time, his 100,000 troops were all sitting on small sampans, and he was better, sitting in a larger commercial ship.He wanted to rush out, but he was pressed and beaten just now, and he was crushed all the way into the muddy quagmire, what should he use to rush out?If you want to go ashore, the surroundings are full of mud, let alone wearing armor and riding a horse, even if you take off your clothes and climb out, you have to sink in. Jin Jun was terrified and helpless.Han Shizhong, who was stuck in his mouth, also scratched his head a little.Up to this moment, he had done it perfectly. The previous steps of confusing the enemy, beheading, fierce fighting, and suppressing were done so beautifully, but this last blow could not be delivered. There is no way, eight thousand to one hundred thousand, the disparity is too great, it is really urgent, the fish may not be dead yet, his net has been broken long ago.At this time, Han Shizhong was very calm. He knew that his advantage was unshakable, so he would use it up and let the fear, hunger, and fatigue wear down the Jin army. When they reached a critical point, they would attack in an all-round way. These Jin Wushu also knew, but he had no choice but to rely on the strength around him to save himself. He chose to wait until the Jin Army in Jiangbei knew the battle report and sent the navy to rescue him. Both sides are consumed like this.Time passed day by day, for forty days in a row, without any change.It has been almost a month and a half, and the Jin army can understand that the communication speed in ancient times is slow. Even if Jiangbei knows the news, it will take a long time to organize the navy to help the battle.But what about the Song Dynasty?The south of the Yangtze River is under the control of the Song Army, why no one came to help Han Shizhong? This question has tortured the Han people for more than 800 years, and the more I think about it, the more I get angry.what is the root cause?Quite simply, there is really no one.The Song Dynasty's Nandu troops were few and scattered, and only two were complete, one was carried by Zhao Gou, and the other was Du Chong's troops... After the Jiankang War, they all dispersed. Therefore, Han Shizhong could only stand alone, waiting for the morale of the Jin army to decline and the combat power to decline. As he wished, Jin Wushu was almost suffocated to death.This man can't figure it out, he works harder than his fathers and brothers, and even has more ideals, but why does God always play tricks on him? He wanted victory, honor, and success, and he could touch the edge every time, but he always passed by, and great humiliation followed.Why is this all? He sat blankly in the mud puddle, thinking constantly, unable to think of anything, unable to do anything, it looked like he was waiting to die.Just then, a local appeared. History will prove that Han people are the lucky stars of Jinwushu. Whenever his life is worse than death, there will always be a Han who jumps out from nowhere and fishes him out of the sea of ​​suffering.At this time, the local man told him that there is an exit from this rotten mud pool, called Old Stork Mouth, but it has been covered by mud for a long time. As long as you dig along the direction, you will be able to return to the Yangtze River. That night, all the Jin army dispatched to dig the mud, and dug a road of 30 miles overnight.The next morning, they returned to the Yangtze River.After Han Shizhong found out, he chased after him, and was shot back by an unprecedentedly dense rocket at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The battle of Huang Tiandang seemed to be over at this point, Jin Wushu turned around and escaped.Unfortunately, the story is not over yet.It was May at that time, and Jin Wushu ordered the whole army to march towards Jiankang.According to his recollection, it was still in Jinzhan District, where they could take a good rest before considering crossing the Yangtze River to their old nest on the north bank. On the tenth day of May, the Jin army arrived at Longwan Town, fifteen miles northwest of Jiankang City, and was suddenly attacked by the Song army.This attack was the strongest that Jin Wushu had encountered in his life.The enemy came with only 300 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and they actually attacked his 100,000 army head-on.The numbers are absurd, and the battle situation is full of nightmares. The huge army of 100,000 cavalry was defeated by more than 2,300 people! This has never happened since the war between Song and Jin, or even since the Jurchens raised their troops, and it has never appeared in the most absurd dreams of the Jurchens.The Jurchens... "The Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible"!But it actually happened in front of Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu's true nature was once again exposed, he was terrified, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, and ran to the mouth of the old stork desperately.He clearly analyzed that this team was more terrifying than Han Shizhong's navy, and they couldn't fight against it no matter what. He would rather go back to Huang Tiandang by boat than face this army.On the same day, when he boarded the ship and turned back, he saw the surname of the general marked on the battle flag of the Song Army. That's the word "Yue"! At the critical moment of national peril, Yue Fei finally had his own army.This legendary army, which has the strongest reputation in the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, was formed spontaneously through untold hardships.Its origin can be traced back to the time when Kaifeng City had not yet fallen. At that time, Yue Fei was a well-known general. He fought thousands of miles, went deep into the enemy's territory, and was invincible. He was the leading strongman in the Jiangbei Song Army. He has great prestige and appeal in the hearts of the soldiers, but limited by his status, he is just a general and has no right to make decisions.When Du Chong gave up Kaifeng and fled to the south of the Yangtze River, Yue Fei persuaded: "The size of the Central Plains cannot be discarded. If you move your feet today, this place is not mine. If you want to take it back in the future, you must have hundreds of thousands of people." History proved how correct his judgment was, but Du Chong didn't listen at all.When the whole army set off, Yue Fei could only go with the flow.Could it be that he will defy his orders again and repeat the incident of leaving Wang Yan? In the battle at the Majiadu Ferry outside Jiankang City, facing a 100,000 Jin army, Du Chong only sent the capital commander Chen Que to lead Yue Fei, Qi Fang and other generals to lead 20,000 troops to the battle.There is a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, but the Jin army did not take advantage of the unity of will.At that time, Yue Fei led the right army to confront Wang Bolong, the commander of the Han army of the state of Jin, and was a general of the Song army. The battle was stalemate, and the Song Army did not retreat, pinning their hopes on reinforcements, but they made mistakes again.When the reinforcements approached the battlefield, they suddenly fled, causing the entire battle formation to loosen.The Song army was defeated, the main general Chen Cui died in battle, and the rest of the generals fled. Only Yue Fei led his troops to fight to the death, and the whole army retreated to Zhongshan in the northeast corner of Jiankang City. In Jiankang City, Jin Wushu left several thousand troops stationed there, and he himself went south to search the mountains and seas.This is a good opportunity, but Yue Fei's troops suffered too many injuries and the number of troops dropped sharply, so he could not fight in a short period of time.At this time, Yue Fei urgently needs a strong military force, how to get it?He set his sights on the entire perimeter of the south bank of the Yangtze River. The scattered Song army, spontaneous militias, and thieves are all forces that can be incorporated.He wants to expand his strength while traveling around to attack and annihilate the troops of the Jin Army scattered in various counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Yue Fei initially chose the Guangde Army.The Guangde Army is now in the area of ​​Taozhou Town, Guangde, Anhui Province. It was subordinate to Jiankang Shuaifu in the Song Dynasty.He still has not left the combat area of ​​​​the left-behind division in Tokyo. In the Guangde Army, Yue Fei won six battles and six victories, and captured more than forty generals of the Jin Army's Han troops including Wang Quan.Afterwards, he moved to Yixing, where he incorporated a number of thieves and the Hebei puppet army forcefully conscripted by the Jin army, and the officers and soldiers from Changzhou also came to join him. His strength increased greatly, and the prototype of the Yue family general appeared. . On April 25, Yue Fei started the battle to regain Jiankang.The battle first took place at Qingshui Pavilion, thirty miles south of Jiankang City.At this time, not far away, Jin Wushu had been forced into Huang Tiandang by Han Shizhong. Counting the time, this is not the first time that the Jin army has trembled under the hands of the Song army, but in terms of the battle situation, the battle at Qingshuiting was the first battle of the Jin army nightmare. Yue Fei's troops were victorious in the battle. A total of 175 Jurchens with gold and silver rings on their ears were beheaded, and 45 Jurchens, Bohai Navy, and Han'er Army were captured alive. fifteen miles. Yue Fei took advantage of the victory and went to camp at Niutou Mountain, twelve miles west of Qingshui Pavilion.At night, he sent death squads dressed in black to raid the Golden Camp and won another big victory.When Jin Wushu crawled out from the mouth of the old stork in a daze, Yue Fei happened to advance to Longwan Town, fifteen miles northwest of Jiankang City, and greeted him with 2,300 troops. The mortal enemy of life, we meet for the first time today! Jin Wushu was pushed back to Huang Tiandang.The road to Jiankang was smooth, and Yue Fei drove straight in to regain Jiankang. Just after Jin Wushu showed his face at the mouth of the Yangtze River, he became depressed.He found that Han Shizhong hadn't left, and had been waiting for him... He couldn't figure it out, why?When did the lazy, cowardly, dull, and deserted Song Dynasty people become so persistent? Desperate! Han Shizhong finally waited for the opportunity to fight. As if he had a premonition, he kept guarding the heart of the river, determined not to retreat. Sure enough, Jin Wushu showed up again.This time is different from last time, last time he and Jin Wushu singled out, even though it was 8,000 vs 100,000, it was still a duel between the two armies; General Bojin Taiyi led a brigade of water troops to Zhenzhou (now Yizheng), ready to meet Jin Wushu and cross the river. Jiangbei Bojin Taiyi, Jiangnan Wanyan Zongbi, Jiangxin Song General Han Shizhong... The situation is unprecedentedly dangerous. From the perspective of military strength, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves; Unexpectedly, Han Shizhong actually divided his troops into two groups, suppressing both sides of the river at the same time, leaving the Jin army helpless and could only face each other across the river. Wanyan Zongbi interpreted Han Shizhong's toughness as a naked insult.Looking back at the entire Jurchen history, when was he despised to such an extent?As a dignified Jurchen, he was angry, even though he humbly begged for mercy a few days ago, now he is really angry. On a fine morning, he gathered all the boats and rushed to the center of the river.Bojin Taiyi on the opposite side followed closely.Han Shizhong, don't you want to suppress both sides together?Well, we are now attacking both sides together. The three fleets gathered in the middle of the river. After the chaos, the ships of the Jin army turned upside down one after another, and turned over in the heart of the river.Jin Wushu was dumbfounded, his mind was still full of Han Shizhong's fighting strength forty days ago, why hasn't there been such a big change in a few days? Han Shizhong once again proved his intelligence.In his life, whether it was war or life, he handled it very appropriately and skillfully.比如这一次，他在作战间隙赶造了一批用长锁链联结起来的大铁钩，将它们装配到每条战船上。开战之后，宋军把铁钩扔到敌人船舷上，用力扯拽铁链，金军的船立即侧翻。 根据双方舰船的大小对比，金军的船翻得一点悬念都没有。眼看着江上长风呼啸，韩世忠的船鼓起风帆，往来如飞，一批批地倒坚起来。金兀术再一次崩溃了，他下令撤退，两边都退，再次派人去见韩世忠，谈谈怎样交买路钱。 见面之后，金军使者直接一揖到底，他“祈请甚哀”，请韩世忠放他们一条活路。韩世忠觉得火候到了，给出了自己的底线。 “但还我两宫，复我疆土，则可以相全。”连皇帝带土地，全都还回来，才给他一条活路。 金军使者沉默了，这是女真人举国拼命好几年才赚到的，一个四太子的死活真的能与之对等吗？他觉得没搞头，转身走人了。 完颜宗弼很郁闷，恐惧与羞辱，生存和死亡，他在心里不断地盘算着，到底是答应还是不答应呢？就算答应了，又是还皇帝，又是割土地，往来周转得多少日子，耽搁下去，他非常有可能直接死在长江南岸。要是不答应，眼前这一关都过不去……这该死的韩世忠！ 他暴跳起来，决定无论如何也要面对这个野蛮的、不通情理的汉人。 可是在哪儿见呢？他说什么也不敢在江面上近距离地靠近韩世忠，于是提议在陆地上见面，那样，他身后边至少有十万个保镖。 那么，韩世忠会不会上岸呢？This is a problem!在他想来，只要韩世忠上岸了，或许事情就好办了，女真人在陆地上杀人还比较有把握。 猜测中，韩世忠答应了他的请求。金兀术惊喜万分，真没想到汉人会再一次变蠢，连韩世忠也有愚蠢基因。赶快见面，不能耽搁。 见面之后，金兀术很客气，延续了之前的哀求基调，韩世忠照旧不为所动。紧接着，金兀术就爆发了，他突然间变得强硬，对韩世忠呼喝叱骂。在他想来，韩世忠一定会避避风头，毕竟这不是在水里。可惜的是，他不知道韩世忠的出身，韩世忠最习惯的就是眼前的局面，他最初的名字叫韩泼五。 韩世忠二话不说，张弓搭箭就要射他。金兀术再一次怂了，哪怕是在陆地上，他身后边是无边无际的保安大队，他还是转身就跑了。 神勇伟大、视荣誉为一切的四太子，连单挑都不敢。 之后的几天里，金兀术坐困愁城，难过得要死。得怎么办？眼看着这一条大江就是他的坟墓，说什么也迈不过去了。关键时刻，他的福星再一次降临，又有汉人来帮他了。 一个姓王的福建人出现了，给他出了几个主意。金军不是在船上站不稳吗？简单，在船舱里多放土，甲板上铺木板，船会又稳又平。船速不够吗？在船舷上挖洞，安装橹桨。什么，速度还不够？不，相对于宋朝水军的船，一定会超级快的。 前提条件是江面上没有风。 这一点是最重要的。之前，韩世忠之所以能以微弱兵力压制长江两岸，根本原因就在于船械精良、海船高大。这些船都要有足够的风力才能快速行驶。一旦风没了，韩世忠的海船会变成一个个不会移动的靶子。 金兀术惊喜万分，他有一种死里逃生的感觉！ 女真人拿出了看家的老本行——萨满巫术。他们“刑白马，剔妇人心，自割其额祭天”，来换取江面上的风平浪静。 这些封建迷信活动搞完之后，风居然真的停了。偌大的长江，东亚第一大水系，长年江风浩荡，这时居然全都停了。 这要怎样解释，这要怎样预料！ 韩世忠在这样一个诡异的天气里迎战南北两岸的金军，没有风，他的庞大的海船战队只能停在江心，变成一个个不会移动的标靶。而金军那些可笑的小舢板却桨橹齐飞，划得热火朝天。这些金军一边划向北岸，一边向海船上射火箭。 韩世忠的船都着火了。以木制船的易燃程度，以江心离岸边的遥远程度，宋军不是被淹死，就是被烧死……据记载，只有极少数人逃出生天了。 韩世忠还活着。 说什么好呢？思绪万千，只能归纳成一句，韩世忠以微薄的力量去执行不可能完成的任务，只差一点点就成功了，至于结果……非战之罪！ 此战过后，宋朝方面士气大振。黄天荡之战、建康之战，韩世忠和岳飞打破了女真人不可战胜的神话，他们让汉人看到了，这些北方异族人不仅败了，而且败得狼狈、彻底、没有尊严。在这个层面上，这两场战争的意义无比重大。 反观江北，抛开意义说实际，完颜宗弼这一次打得还可以。如果不看过程，只看结果的话，他是成功地逃跑了，甚至是带着一个标准的反败为胜、死里求活的战争结果回到江边的。 但是，他没法自豪，他哭了，见着熟人就拉着手不放，没完没了地倾诉，来缓解自己心里的阴影。（“相持泣下，诉以过江艰危。”） 金国上层的动荡更为剧烈。 黄天荡之战改变了金国的国策。在这之前，金国对宋朝是要斩草除根的，比如搜山检海捉赵构，一定要让赵氏断子绝孙，从而占据整个汉地。可是，这场战争之后，女真人觉得不安全了，如果再紧挨着汉族人的话，指不定什么时候会出大事，被砍得满身是血。 为此，金国决定建立第二个傀儡王朝，作为宋、金之间的缓冲地带。 这是一件重大国事，金国内部的各大势力、各位重臣集体参与讨论。按关系论，这事儿本应是完颜昌的。因为他与金国皇帝完颜吴乞买有一层别人没有的关系。 完颜昌，本名完颜挞懒，是金国太祖完颜阿骨打的叔叔盈哥的儿子。在他还没出生时，吴乞买曾经被他父亲领养过，他们算是有点兄弟关系。 这对完颜昌来说是非常珍贵的，对吴乞买来说就更加珍贵了。前面说过，这位金太宗在建国期间一没战功二没贡献，能当上皇帝，有点赵光义的味道。面对金国内部那么多的拥兵重臣，他的日子太难过了，甚至还被他们拖下龙座，打了二十大板。 这事儿要从完颜阿骨打说起，这位金太祖白手起家，深知钱财的重要性，他自从起兵之后就立下了一条铁律——国库里的钱除了当军费以外，谁敢挪用，都打二十大板。这条命令对任何人都有效，包括他自己。 完颜阿骨打是条硬汉，说到做到。轮到吴乞买时，就有点悲摧，他这个皇帝当得太憋屈了。看宫殿……哪有什么宫殿，只是些土木结构的大屋子，连院墙都没有，是用榆树、柳树编成的篱笆。平时，放羊赶猪的人一不留神就进了大内。 看生活，更郁闷。那年头，但凡一个身强力壮的女真男人，只要走上前线，立即就会吃穿奢华，身边美女如云；可在大后方，他只能看着堆积如山的金银财宝流口水，一文都不敢拿。 二十大板。 他哥定的！ 由此可以知道，阿骨打兄为啥那么喜欢上前线，吴乞买为啥对赵佶父子那么刻薄。堂堂的战胜国皇帝都混得这么矬，凭啥让战俘过好日子？ 这样的日子一天天继续，直到某天晚上，吴乞买眼冒绿光，把罪恶的魔爪伸向了神圣的国库……他花天酒地了一次。之后，他被发觉，上报给粘罕，也就是军方第一大佬完颜宗翰。完颜宗翰一点也没含糊，一直找碴都没有借口呢！ 完颜宗翰在朝会上把这事儿挑明了，连他自己在内的几个顶级权贵当场就把吴乞买半拉半架地揪了下来，打了二十大板。 吴乞买屁股上疼着，脸上还得笑着，说打得对。 平时都受欺负，何况这时要立屏藩。立谁，都会形成一股新兴的大势力。谁抓到手里，就有了新的资本。像完颜宗翰这样靠资本过日子的人，怎么可能放过这次机会。 很快，金国内部形成决议，册立原宋朝济南知府刘豫。刘豫，字彦游，景州阜城（今属河北）人。进士出身，当过言官，降金之前做过的最著名的一件事，就是杀了济南府里最得力的抗金将军。 那位将军姓关，叫关胜。 没错，就是里马军五虎将头大刀关胜的原型。这样一位抗金名将，就死在了一个汉奸败类的手里。 抛开这些说政治，看金国政治版图的区域划分，如完颜宗翰坐镇西北，完颜昌管理山东，按说刘豫是完颜昌的人，这股新势力注定是完颜昌的。其实也正是这样，吴乞买才同意选他。 可完颜宗翰不那么想。 他所处的位置注定了他要和皇帝争权夺势。他知道册立的是刘豫之后，迅速派出亲信到黄河以南、山东附近“发动”群众，导演了一出万众拥戴刘豫替代宋朝的闹剧，再把这个消息快马加鞭地传给吴乞买。怎么样，还是立刘豫吗？那么就是在我的提倡下立的。 如果不立刘豫，是立王豫、李豫吗？我还要再这样玩一次，直到这个人真的被册立为止。 吴乞买、完颜昌气得要死，这等于是再次被他摁倒在地，痛打了一顿，甚至更丢脸，当着全国人民的面被公然调戏。 刘豫就是这样上台的。他的身份很复杂，汉人的血统，金国的官；从属也很复杂，完颜昌的人，粘罕的官。所以，无论从哪个角度来看，我们都要承认他是个不多见的全方位杂种。嗯，当然了，单从政治功能上说，他会单纯一些。 他成了张邦昌第二，在长江北岸的广大区域里建立了所谓的“大齐”国。国都先定在大名府，后来迁进了开封城。在以后的几年时间里，他成了金国的南方屏障，此人非常活跃，不仅会防守，还会进攻，在历史的舞台上留下了一些非常特别的印记。
