Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

After the Battle of Xiangjiang, the puppet Qi's military strength in the Huaihe area was basically crippled.Liu Yu urgently asked Jin Guo for help.The Kingdom of Jin, headed by general Liu Hebojin, assembled tens of thousands of elite cavalry and headed south. The idea of ​​the Kingdom of Jin is very simple. Since the founding of the country, Jurchen has never failed in a field battle.Heshangyuan, Xianrenguan, etc., just failed to conquer the natural danger, and were chased and killed by the Song army.At this time, Yue Fei led 30,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, and the Jin army fought against the enemy with an elite force of the same size or even more.

Liu Hebojin went to the village in the northwest of Dengzhou, and stopped by watching the mountains and flying.Bo Jin is not a name, but a respectful title in the Jin Army, similar to the Taiwei in the Song Army.He was thinking about where he should fight Yue Fei.Judging from past achievements, Yue Fei is good at using the terrain, so Yue Fei cannot be chosen... He didn't need to worry about it, the decisive battle was in his camp, and Yue Fei came directly to kill him. With Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Dong Xian, and Wang Wan as the main force, Yue's army carried out pincer attacks from Guanghua and Henglin respectively. The speed was so fast that the cavalry of the Jin army were caught off guard and had to rush to fight.The northwest of Dengzhou is where the Yue Family Army really became famous. Here, Yue Fei broke the record of the Golden Army's cavalry being invincible in field battles for the first time in a fair confrontation.

There is no ambush, no strategy, only the frantic fighting between the two armies.The battle didn't stop until it couldn't go on anymore, because there were no more enemies, Liu Hebojin fled alone! After this battle, the world became quiet, and there was no one in the Huaihe area who dared to challenge Yue Fei anymore.The Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Xinyang armies surrendered almost without a fight.Yue Fei recovered the six counties of Xiangyang in just over two months. This is a brilliant record that has never been seen since the war between Song and Jin, especially during the battle, Yue Fei's army defeated the Puppet Qi and Jin armies in a row.According to the situation, Yue Fei wrote a battle report to Song Ting: "...the minister peeking at the gold thief and Liu Yu both have good reasons." He wants to further the Northern Expedition and burn the flames of war to Henan. He can take advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Recover Kaifeng and seize the Yellow River!

But Zhao Gou's reply was: "Aiqing fought very well, I am very pleased, but I am a little worried, how will I stick to it after the victory? If there are few soldiers left behind, they will be counterattacked; if there are more soldiers, how will the materials consumed be raised?" "... I don't know how Li Cheng will handle the food and repair the barriers? There is no reason why Liu Yu is willing to transport the food." Zhao Gou meant to let Yue Fei figure out a way by himself, and the court would not pay for it. Money is not the most important thing, the key is strength.There must be enough troops to defend the city, and then we can talk about supplies such as army rations.After that, the official messenger of the Song Dynasty ran back and forth on both sides of the Yangtze River with the correspondence between Yue Fei and Zhao Gou until a number was generated.

Zhao Gou promised to increase Yue Fei's troops by 60,000. This made Yue Fei full of joy, and it was enough for him to guarantee the safety of the six Xiangyang counties.However, after waiting and waiting, all his commendation orders came down. For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the six counties of Xiangyang were designated as Xiangyang Road, and Yuefei was promoted to Qingyuan Army Jiedu Envoy and Hubei Road Jingxiangtan State Envoy.Yue Fei is in charge of all military and political affairs on Xiangyang Road, no matter how big or small. It is tantamount to admitting that Yue Fei is a feudal town on Xiangyang Road, but he just doesn't send troops over, especially without bonuses.

The reality forced Yue Fei to find a way by himself, so he had to withdraw his main force to Ezhou and De'an Prefecture (now Anlu County, Hubei Province), leaving a small garrison on Xiangyang Road. Zhou Shi and Li Dan led 150 soldiers to guard Yingzhou, Sun Hui and Jiang Tingjun led 200 soldiers to guard Suizhou, Xinyang Army, Tangzhou, and Dengzhou had similar forces, and Xiangyang Prefecture served as an important town with 2,000 troops. These soldiers have to farm and eat by themselves.It has become a luxury to exchange military uniforms from Jiangnan every year according to the season.However, in the next few years, they did not let the puppet Qi and the Jin army go one step further.

Thus ended Yue Fei's first Northern Expedition.He achieved unprecedented success, but the price of success was weakened and scattered troops.Next, he had to consider how to quickly expand his team. Fortunately, the opportunity will come soon. Going back to the other side, why is Zhao Gou so stingy and so insane?Isn't Xiangyang his land?Could he really not be able to provide the necessary supplies and the 60,000 reinforcements? Of course not, he has a lot of money in his hand, but he wants to spend it on the "righteous way".Yue Fei took down the six counties of Xiangyang. The reason why he didn't pay money, send troops, not go deep, let alone mention the recovery of Kaifeng, was because he was negotiating with Jin Guo.

Zhao Gou first sent someone to see Wan Yan Zonghan and asked him what Jin Guo's conditions would be if he wanted peace in the south of the Yangtze River.Wanyan Zonghan was dizzy from Yue Fei's anger, so he casually said: "In the Huainan area, no soldiers from the Song Dynasty are allowed!" This is a bit difficult. Zhao Gou wants peace, but he also knows the basic common sense that he is qualified to speak at the negotiating table if he fights well on the battlefield.In fact, this is exactly the reason why he sent Yue Fei to the Northern Expedition.It's good now, Jin Guo has a headache, which is good for the future.

When Wanyan Zonghan saw that Zhao Gou had no more text, he didn't cry bitterly, tremble all over, admit his mistakes, and compensate for the loss as people thought, but was furious and decided to completely solve Zhao Gou. The eldest prince came to a conclusion from the previous wars, that is, no matter how well the Jin army fought on land, they could not catch Zhao Gou, and this man would go to sea.Then, instead of going overland, go south from the sea, first attack Changguo County, then turn to attack Mingzhou, capture Zhao Gou's imperial ship that has been parked there, and then go straight to the mouth of the Qiantang River, blocking Zhao Gou in Hangzhou City.

Once successful, the Southern Song Dynasty will be completely resolved. It must be admitted that Wanyan Zonghan's ideas are very unique and very ruthless.This move not only cut off his retreat by surprise, but more importantly, bypassed all the defense lines of the Song army, and put aside the threats of Wu Jie, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others. Amazing creative thinking! However, he was stillborn and was shot at the military meeting within the Kingdom of Jin.This is simply unbelievable. Who is Wanyan Zonghan, one of the founders of the Kingdom of Jin, the undisputed number one person in the Kingdom of Jin’s military for more than ten years, and his authority is even more powerful than the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin... so awesome, why was he killed? What?

Because Wanyan Wu begged for money and didn't want to bear it anymore.Over the years, he has been bullied so much that he has become a joke. He is a little better than the Liao and Song emperors in custody, and the endless torture made his body worse and worse.Recently, he has sensed that death is approaching.What kind of life is this?Why can't you resist? Could it be that Wanyan Zonghan dared to seek to usurp the throne? It is really possible that after knowing that Wanyan Wu Qimai was ill, Wanyan Zonghan was going to determine his successor for him.In other words, His Royal Highness directly deprived his son of his right to inherit without any discussion! If you dare to touch my family's hereditary throne, I will touch your most precious thing. With this resentment in mind, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin prevented the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Jin from planning a sea attack in Datong, Shanxi in his hometown of Huanglong Mansion.The commander-in-chief was very surprised. It seemed that the previous 20 sticks were played too lightly, and the second uncle had no memory. Then came the next message. His Majesty the Emperor did not communicate with the commander-in-chief, but directly issued a new military order.The Southern Song Dynasty did not take the sea route. The Jin Army and the Puppet Qi Army formed a coalition army, and directly swept the south of the Yangtze River by land across the Yangtze River. Wanyan Zonghan was furious. This is an obvious political command, avenging private revenge, and making fun of the fate of the country.This second son, who was useless during the founding of the country, is really going to ruin his family business! But he glanced at Wanyan Wu who was begging for money, and immediately became quiet again.Wu Qimai stood beside Wan Yanchang, which was expected.There is also Wanyan Zongbi, which is a bit surprising.The fourth younger brother was very obedient at first, but he always lost the battle, and even threw the eldest brother's son-in-law and nephew on the battlefield as prisoners.In a rage, the eldest brother beat him cruelly, and forced the fourth brother into an enemy. At this time, it is too late to regret.He thought a lot about what this little four would become in the future, but he never expected that little four would be a butcher's knife of the royal family! There are two more people, first is Wanyan Eriduo.This person once made an appearance in the battle of Fuping, and he didn't have much role in it, but his status was higher than that of celebrities like Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongbi. why?Because he is the third prince of the Kingdom of Jin! The third prince was also called Wanyan Zongfu. When he was called Zongfu, he was very low-key, so low-key that his resume only said that he was majestic and generous... The first generation of Jin people is characterized by generosity, which should be a face-to-face curse. But after that, he changed his name to Wanyan Zongyao. Every character is not taken in vain. Han, Wang, and Bi are all symbols of courtiers, and Yao is the emperor, a legendary and great emperor.What did he do?This was just the beginning, he stood quietly, as if nothing had happened to him. The last person was Liu Yu, the emperor of Qi. This person is a slave, no one will pay attention to him, let alone answer him.However, he is extremely arrogant, because he owns land from Kaifeng to Huaibian;Whoever he leans on will have the initiative.Even Zhao Gou was very polite to him. The most terrible thing is that you can't fall back and forth anytime and anywhere. Although politicians are very smooth, very complicated, very absurd, and very casual, they must have a little bit of restraint. Liu Yu "falls" but has no restraint at all. He is from Wan Yanchang first, there is no way, he is an official in Shandong, Wan Yanchang is the commander-in-chief of the Shandong theater of the Kingdom of Jin, he can only recognize this father.Later, when luck struck, Wan Yanchang wanted to make him a puppet emperor. This is so exciting! Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zonghan preempted him and conducted a public opinion poll to push Liu Yuqiang to the stage.Liu Yu complied in an instant and said, "Your Highness, I will be your man from now on!" This is fine, but can you maintain the minimum respect for your former father? cannot.Afterwards, Wan Yanchang came to inspect the work in person, but Liu Yu only sent his son out to greet him, and sat quietly, leaving Wan Yanchang aside. At this time, Yue Fei regained the six counties of Xiangyang. Liu Yu panicked and asked Jin Guo for help.The first candidate is naturally His Royal Highness "Closer Father".His Highness was very concerned and decided to attack from the sea, but was quickly rejected. "Old father" Wan Yanchang told Liu Yu that Jin Guo had the highest instruction on this matter.Liu Yu turned around and lay down at Wan Yanchang's feet, calling out "Dearest Father". Turning around, he began to despise Wanyan Zonghan again... How serious is this man's mental illness! In any case, the Southern Song Dynasty got a definite information that the coalition forces of Jin and puppet Qi will launch a powerful offensive in September, and Liu Yu has already released his words to wipe out Jiangnan and make "the six merge into one". Zhao Gou knew that the fire was coming, and immediately sent someone with great "sincerity" to Jin Guo to negotiate terms.This time, the envoy of the Song Dynasty passed Wanyan Zonghan and went directly to the Emperor of Jin, asking him how he could let Jiangnan go. Before leaving, Zhao Gou solemnly emphasized that he must be kind and friendly. The envoys asked for instructions on the maximum price, and a straight scholar stepped forward and raised five fingers on his chest like in the Chanyuan Alliance.The officials of the Song Dynasty understood by heart, 500,000. This price is much higher than what was given to Empress Dowager Xiao back then. But Jin Guo's response was that the price was barely enough, and there was no emperor title, so at most a throne would be given.As for the territory, you continue to move forward, Fujian and Guangdong are enough for you to live on! He was even more ruthless than Wanyan Zonghan. Before that, he only asked Huainan not to have a Song army. The envoys of the Song Dynasty were desperate, and suddenly they heard a sentence from the people of the Kingdom of Jin, "Is Qin Zhongcheng happy? This man is in his own army, and he is really a good man." When the news came back, Song Tingju was shocked.All the officials spoke in unison, asking Zhao Gou to "scatter all the officials and let him be lucky."To put it bluntly, your brother is going to die or live to figure out a way to leave Hangzhou and dodge far away.Those of us who are officials have to fend for ourselves, don't think that everyone will die with you. Before the tree fell, the hozen scattered. Zhao Gou was silent, the mature emperor would never be provoked by his courtiers, he was quietly thinking about his own thoughts.The news brought back by the envoys is indeed very bad. It seems that the coalition forces of Jin and puppet Qi are bound to invade, but there is a subtle twist in it... Is Qin Hui a good friend of the Jin people?After all this time, the friendship is still maintained? At the beginning, Zhao Gou was vaguely aware of this, but it was never confirmed by Jin Guo. He continued to wait quietly, despite the chaos above the court.As if whatever happened had nothing to do with him.Soon, he finally got a different voice. Prime Minister Zhao Ding strongly advocated the battle, and proposed that the war be directly raised to the highest level, and the emperor Zhao Gou would personally conquer it!The Huaihe area is the decisive battle, and the Yangtze River defense line is the lifeline. The flames of war will never be allowed to burn into the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River again. The prime minister is the head of a hundred bureaucrats, and he speaks his word, and no one dares to object to his words.The others just raised a seemingly practical problem in partnership. I would like to ask the Prime Minister, if you want to fight, who will fight? Does the emperor need to conscript and general himself? This is very tricky. Since the Battle of Fuping in the Southern Song Dynasty, there has never been a military president. Every sensitive area is fully responsible for each sensitive area and is responsible for its own profits and losses.In fact, the Southern Song Dynasty had already lost control of the major theaters and could only sit back and watch success or failure. At this time, it is not easy to find someone to come out as the commander-in-chief. Zhao Ding directly ordered Zhang Jun.He was the main person responsible for Fuping's defeat, and he also destroyed the century-old glory of the Western Army, and even made the northwest and southwest dangerous at the same time, almost spreading to the south of the Yangtze River and destroying the Song Dynasty. He is experienced after all. Zhang Jun came back and became the military leader again.At this time, he was infinitely grateful to Zhao Ding. Without this person, he didn't know how long it would take him to return to the center of power. What a great Prime Minister! At this time, I have to introduce Zhao Ding, but there is nothing to say.He was born in Wenxi, Xiezhou (now Shanxi) in 1085 AD.He lost his father at the age of four and was raised by his mother.He was born as a Jinshi and had no recordable achievements before being promoted to prime minister. In such a turbulent era, he escaped from Kaifeng across the Yangtze River with a large group of people, and he didn't participate in anything. How low-key must this person be, or how lazy is he? Such a person has actually become the prime minister, and is the only prime minister.When this happens, he can only be said to be a lucky substitute.By the time of Zhao Gou, there were already ten emperors in the Song Dynasty, and he ranked first in terms of the instability of the throne.He is even more "precarious" than Song Yingzong, who was not born as a descendant, and Zhao Guangyi, who usurped the throne and became self-reliant, which led to his ranking first in the frequency of changing prime ministers. In fact, Zhao Ding was just a pawn he picked at random.The above is to look at Zhao Ding from the perspective of officialdom. If you look at things from Zhao Ding himself, you will get a completely opposite answer.He is the toughest prime minister since Jianyan went south.Every previous prime minister is full of wisdom of all kinds.It is undeniable that even Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan can be regarded as people with profound wisdom, not to mention that Zhu Shengfei has a fighting wisdom that can cripple the enemy. But Zhao Ding is the only one who has the courage to deal with foreign enemies.From this point of view, he has both talent, virtue, wisdom, and courage. The reason why he was silent before must have his own reasons. Most likely he didn't want to show his face. At this time, Zhao Ding used the power of prime minister to suppress the officialdom. First, he decided to fight against Japan; second, he reinstated Zhang Jun;The eunuch group was greatly devastated in the Miao and Liu incidents, but the confidence was still there. Zhao Gou still loved them and believed in them so much that he had to consult with the eunuchs before deciding whether to enlist them himself. Zhao Ding set up a large table in the capital hall and chatted with more than a dozen top eunuchs for a long time before finally getting the eunuchs to nod and agree to shut up on certain issues.Afterwards, Zhao Gou raised his power and issued a personal declaration: "I am far away for the sake of the two sages, and the souls have been suffering for a long time. I surrendered myself to ask for peace, but the captives continued to invade and bully me. I will command the six armies. I will go to the river and decide to fight!" It is very well said, not only filial piety, but also attributed all the previous compromises, cowardice and shamelessness to the fear of the suffering of parents, elder brothers and other relatives imprisoned in the far north, and also showed his decisiveness. This is the reason why he tried all kinds of things, and he can explain it to the time, to future generations, and to all Chinese people who advocate filial piety. No matter what he encounters, he will speak things under this premise. Then, he ordered the whole army to move north to Pingjiang Mansion, where he would personally command and fight the enemy to the death.The family members of the harem went to Wenzhou by land, and then took refuge in Quanzhou by boat.After everything was ready, he sat down slowly and returned to the most comfortable and stable state, which he thought was very good. The matter of the war is in the charge of the Prime Minister. This time, the goal of the gold and puppet Qi coalition forces is Huainan.Huai is a large area, which was divided into Huaibei and Huainan in the Song Dynasty. Among them, Huainan was divided into East and West. The coalition forces of Jin and puppet Qi planned to go straight to Sizhou from Kaifeng's Bianhe River and cross the Huaihe River.After entering Huainan, the troops were divided into three groups to attack Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Yangzhou, and then went west from the quarry and crossed the Yangtze River to attack Jiankang Mansion. Judging from this plan, the first attack direction is Huaidong, which is Han Shizhong's defense area in the Southern Song Dynasty.This is very good. Han Shizhong did not refuse any challenge. After he received the battle report, he directly led people across the river and stationed in Yangzhou City, ready to fight. But suddenly it was empty. In the Huainan area, that is, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Southern Song Dynasty assembled three generals and more than 150,000 troops.Before this war came, Zhao Gou even sent his old guard and his most trusted personal general, Yang Yizhong. It can be said that this was the largest number of troops assembled by the Song army since the Battle of Fuping.But the enemy soldiers were approaching, but Han Shizhong found that there was no friendly army around him! According to his old tradition, Liu Guangshi in the big yamen retreated before the battle, and hid far away to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and went to Jiankang City to enjoy a high-end life. Zhang Jun did not say that he would not march, but only wrote a letter to the central government and reported to the prime minister, saying, "I will go to Pingjiang Mansion to fight for the emperor first." Only by taking a step forward can there be a chance of survival. Now we should gather the best soldiers from all over the world to Pingjiang Mansion to defend the city." The whole world said "Yes", General Zhang is utterly loyal! Zhang Jun did what he said, he rushed to Pingjiang Mansion with a large team, and the speed was really fast.At the critical juncture when he went to the city to show off his troops to boost the morale of the people, an accident happened. After a long battle, General Zhang, who is very skilled in riding horses, suddenly fell off his horse.At that time, the scene was horrifying and shocked countless witnesses. When Zhang Jun stood up, one arm was obviously broken... So, he regretfully wrote another letter to the Prime Minister, reporting his injury, saying that he was really in pain, and asked to recuperate on the spot. Zhao Ding almost turned his nose in anger. Pingjiang Mansion is the modern city of Suzhou. It is very close to Hangzhou and far away from the Yangtze River. What's the use of enduring it there for war?Reminiscent of Zhang Jun's previous strategy of gathering soldiers from all over the world to defend Pingjiang, Zhao Ding realized the true meaning of it at this time, obviously he wanted to gather all soldiers from all over the world to defend himself! Zhao Ding couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, so he issued an official document to expose Zhang Jun's tricks one by one, so that the whole world could see clearly the face of this famous Zhongxing general.Then, he ordered Zhang Jun to immediately lead his army across the river, go to the north bank to fight, and fulfill the minimum duty of a soldier. However, the prime minister's words were like a knife, and the general's face was like iron, Zhang Jun didn't respond at all.My arm just hurts and I can't work.Is the Prime Minister's order important?Either you dismiss me. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Huaixi part of Huainan was suddenly emptied, and only Han Shizhong stood in the Yangzhou area of ​​Huaidong, facing more than 300,000 gold and puppet Qi coalition forces. The king of Han came to battle, brave and unsurpassed.In terms of combat style, he is the most sharp and unstoppable among the famous Nandu generals, especially in the initial stage of the war, where he passed was a sea of ​​corpses and blood. First, he built a large fence barrier in his rear, cutting off his retreat.After that, he set up an ambush for the forward troops of the Jin army. This ambush was not to lure the enemy into an encirclement circle conducive to siege in the traditional sense, but to disperse the troops in this circle. Enter all parts of the enemy's army, give an order, and fight your own, whoever is strong will kill, and the weak will die! On that day, in the area of ​​Dayi Town in Jiangbei, the war broke out suddenly. The coalition forces of Jin and Puppet Qi were almost at a loss. After they reacted, the scene in front of them was no longer suitable for human viewing. Helping people only know how to escape. This happened several times in Yakouqiao, Chengxin and other places. The forward troops of the Jin and Puppet Qi allied forces were really frightened, which seriously hindered their marching speed. But be careful, it's just the vanguard.To be honest, Han Shizhong is not a handsome talent, but a very strong general. He can attack, ambush, and defend tenaciously, but he has never shown the ability to maneuver, look down on the world, and control everything on the vast battlefield. This is his personal shortcoming, and it is actually an iron law in Chinese history.In the period of peril for almost every nation, there is only one person who can support the building alone. There has never been a "gemini star" whose strength and record can be compared. At this time, he defeated the enemy's forward troops, and after the large corps approached behind him, he wisely chose to retreat.He crossed the river back to the south bank and stationed in Zhenjiang Mansion. In this way, all the three generals of the Southern Song Dynasty returned to the south bank. Liu Guangshi was in Jiankang Mansion, Han Shizhong was in Zhenjiang Mansion, and Zhang Jun firmly "defended" in Pingjiang Mansion, loyally and long-term standing for the emperor. The two roads in Huainan were all empty. At this time, Zhao Gou looked at the map in the deep palace. On the north bank of the Yangtze River, there were only Yue Fei's troops from Xiangyang's six counties, which were too few. However, Yue Fei was stationed in Ezhou, which is now Hubei. . Yue Fei...he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Yue Fei himself, asking him to send reinforcements immediately and lead the army to Huaixi.The letter wrote: "...Qing Su has a heart of worrying about the country and loving the king, so he can lead the way today and come here at the same time. I am not Qing, so I will never feel at ease." At this moment, how heavy is Yifei! This order quickly produced results, and many people agreed with it. After all, what's wrong with being generous to save the court and your own danger?Dissenting opinion is the former Prime Minister Li Gang. Li Gang said that this is an unprecedented opportunity. Not only is the Song Dynasty in danger, but the puppet Qi is actually at a greater risk.Asking Yue Fei to go directly to Huaixi to fight with the Jin and Puppet Qi coalition forces is to stop the boiling water. To put it bluntly, it is a tactic of fueling the enemy. ensure safety. Instead of this, why not let Yue Fei take advantage of the puppet Qi army to launch a surprise attack and attack its rear.With Yue Fei's field strength, it is very likely that he will advance all the way and regain Kaifeng! Even if they can't attack, it is still a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, which is much better than refueling in Huaixi. As soon as this plan came out, it shocked the government and the public, Zhao Gou also became very interested in it, and he publicly stated his support for Li Gang's idea.However, the order Yue Fei received in Ezhou was still to "aid Huaixi". Yue Fei moved immediately after hearing the order, and while gathering troops to cross the river, he sent Xu Qing and Niu Gao to lead 2,000 people to rescue the most critical Luzhou.At this time, Luzhou has become a symbol. It is isolated in a vast ocean of gold and puppet Qi allied forces. On December 18th, Xu Qing and Niu Gao led some cavalry to arrive at Luzhou first. Before they could sit still, they learned that 5,000 Jin cavalry were approaching.The two immediately went out of the city to face each other. This startled the people of Luzhou who had been fighting the war. The military strength was seriously unequal. Who were Yue Fei's subordinates? Is this brave or arrogant?Outside the city, in the cold wind of deep winter in Huaixi, enemy cavalry approached.Niu Gao rode out alone, and behind him stood a banner with his surname embroidered on it. He shouted his name and rushed over. This is a bit like General Niu in the novel Romance. Many people must be laughing at his recklessness, but the five thousand golden riders turned around and ran away, not daring to confront him at all. What's going on? Niu Gao is a smart man. He has fought in the Jianghuai area for many years and has a great reputation. Who would believe that he would take risks?This kind of death-seeking behavior would never happen to him. Just this misunderstanding of thinking is enough to scare away the enemy. The Yue family army quickly approached Huaixi, and the commander in chief of the Jin army was still Wanyan Zongbi.Seeing that the old enemies were about to fight, Jin Jun suddenly retreated. This was without warning, the Jin army retreated very fast, and even the puppet Qi army, who had been good at escaping all his life, was left behind.This made Yue Fei very puzzled, isn't this a trap?This worry became the main theme of the Southern Song Dynasty during this period.Song Ting used all means to find out the truth, and it didn't take long before he finally figured out the inside story. Something happened inside the Kingdom of Jin. Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai was critically ill, and the Kingdom of Jin was facing another power reorganization.This time it was far more intense than when Wanyan Agu was beaten to death.At that time, it was necessary to maintain a balance and maintain the momentum of Jin Kingdom's rapid expansion. Therefore, the big shots from all sides chose to back down.But this time it was tough.First of all, His Royal Highness Wan Yan Zonghan wants to make use of the topic. Last time, his plan to attack the Southern Song Dynasty by sea was rejected, seriously shaking his position as the number one in the military.This war of aggression against the Song Dynasty threw him aside again and completely squeezed him out of the decision-making layer, which made him intolerable. God took care of him, Wu Qimai was critically ill, it was like giving him a chance to make a move. Wanyan Wu Qimai still died, and when he died, he was depressed and desolate, as involuntary as he was when he was alive.Looking back on his life, since he became the second emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he was a political victim. Used for balance. However, his heart is higher than the sky, and he always wants to take the chestnut out of the fire in every vortex and become a veritable emperor.But he was wrong, strength determines everything.In the early days of the founding of Jurchen, the core of the nation was still barbarism, and there was no soil for politicians to use their means.Under this premise, he was doomed not to be the second Zhao Guangyi. Before dying, he lost his last bit of chips.His son Wanyan Zongpan's right of succession was deprived, and the throne returned to Wanyan Aguda's direct bloodline. The name of the superior is Wanyan Quan, whose real name is Wanyan Heshi, and his father is Wanyan Zongjun, the eldest son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda.The always quiet man won the greatest victory of his life in a low-key way. At this time, every Jurchen regarded Wanyan Quan as Wanyan Wu begging for second.He is nothing more than a balancer. The reason why he was chosen as the emperor is because his family is too incompetent! Including Wanyan Zonghan, no one knows what happened to this superior person.This person... No, it's this child. Wanyan Quan is only fifteen years old this year. This child will change everything in the Kingdom of Jin. For example, people in the Kingdom of Jin will be able to play politics from top to bottom. This is the impact of the Battle of Huaixi on the Kingdom of Jin.On the surface, this war is almost a child's play.No matter how you look at it, it will cause a decisive battle between Song and Jin to determine the fate of the country, but unexpectedly, there is a lot of thunder and rain, nothing happens, and the flame suddenly turns off. This is not accurate. The Battle of Huaixi was a watershed. Between the two nations, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, the variables caused by this war were no less than those of the Jin Kingdom. First of all, Zhang Jun, this man rose to prominence in an instant, from a sinner who was defeated and dismissed from office to a military representative on the river.In fact, looking at the process, he did not go to the front line, supervised the battle, trained people, and did nothing. He did much less than Prime Minister Zhao Ding. But after the war, he was rewarded for his merits and became the deputy prime minister. This person has really returned to the center of power. From this moment on, Zhang Jun can once again stir up troubles in the Southern Song Dynasty, and use his utter loyalty to dig holes for the Song Dynasty, dig a grave for Yue Fei, and leave a reputation for his fortitude. After that was Zhao Gou, who quickly got up when the Jin army was retreating, rushed from Hangzhou to Pingjiang Mansion, and went to the front line in person, showing the demeanor of a generation of Zhongxing heroes!This surprised everyone in the world, he... didn't wither anymore. And finally the generals. The three generals Liu, Zhang, and Han each had a heavy army and performed well, and they had a clear conscience.For example, Liu Guangshi, he is indeed doing things according to his heart, so why should he be ashamed? But Yue Fei, a damned little soldier, was an unreliable little general a few years ago, and now he dares to sweep our general's face!Needless to say, Liu and Zhang, fleeing before a fight, using their imaginations to create various ideas, not only avoiding war, but also "honorably" fleeing, is shameless in itself, but why is Yue Fei so dazzling?How dare you cross the river when we retreat? It's like slapping us in the face. Han Shizhong's face was always hot.For so many years, ever since Kaifeng fell and Song Dynasty fled south, he has been fighting all the way. He is recognized as the overlord of the army, the strongest in the army who is feared by everyone and no one dares to challenge him!This time, he killed the enemy army on the East Huainan Road, blood flowed into rivers. It was very in line with the image, very exciting, and very exemplary, but the god damn Yue Fei suddenly made trouble... Yue Fei has not as many troops as him, Yue Fei He was able to take this little force across the river to drive away the Jin army, but he was driven back to the south bank by the Jin army with his people. The contrast between going out and entering is too great, how do people think of him? The fire of jealousy and hatred burned in the hearts of the three generals, and Yue Fei didn't know what to do. In fact, Yue Fei was wary of this nameless jealousy.The phenomenon of seniority ranking in the army is even more serious than in the officialdom. He has climbed all the way from a soldier to the top, and has a powerful army of his own. He has never seen anything during this period.He knew that he was hated by others, so he was always looking for opportunities to make up for it. I am usually too busy to meet for dinner, let alone call to communicate.Yue Fei had to write letters to Zhang and Han frequently.In the letter, he put his posture very low, which is also the reality. At this stage, his military rank is lower than the two, and his age is younger than the two. He is both a subordinate and a younger brother. A low posture is conducive to unity. Unexpectedly, this will happen. Writing a letter requires writing, and when it comes to this matter, it is frustrating. The three generals are all rough.Han Shizhong's literary talents will not burst out until his later years, and his poems and calligraphy are unique.As for Zhang Jun, one time, he and Liu Guangshi accompanied Zhao Gou to play in a temple, and the abbot invited him to write an inscription. Zhang Jun's old face was flushed and he didn't write for a long time.This guy can't write at all.Liu Dayan was a little better, holding a pen like a knife, and left his signature in a crooked manner. Yue Fei's handwriting is strong and powerful, and his characters are modeled after Su Shi, the number one master in the Northern Song Dynasty. In terms of calligraphy alone, he is a master of his generation.What effect will such words have in front of the three rough men? Straight girl thief, what exactly is this guy writing, why can't I understand it! These letters added new fuel to the jealousy of the three generals.They feel inferior.The conflict between the two sides was deepening, and after the Battle of Huaixi, the conflict became deeper under Zhao Gou's intervention. From the actual combat, it was concluded that Yue Fei's army was the strongest in the Song army, and also the most obedient to orders.Considering future safety issues, Zhao Gou decided to give Yue Fei a new mission. To wipe out the banditry in Dongting Lake. When the three generals heard this, they immediately became furious.To be honest, if Song Ting sent Yue Fei to do this before regaining Xiangyang, they would definitely wait and watch the fun with a smile on their faces, and let Yue Fei stumble.But not at this time, Yang Yao and Zhong Ziyi in the eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake are so powerful that they not only made the Southern Song Dynasty disgraced and difficult to end, but also made the Puppet Qi regard them as allies. If Yue Fei really succeeds, his strength will immediately rise to a level comparable to theirs, or even surpass them. The matter of Dongting Lake should start from the Jingkang disaster.When Kaifeng fell, Zhao Gou fled to Yingtianfu in Nanjing to proclaim himself emperor.He once ordered the soldiers and horses in the world to work hard for the king.What a surprise!At that time, a small army of more than 300 people came to him from the distant Yangtze River through many difficulties.He checked the class composition of these people and was immediately disappointed. The leader is Zhong Ziang, from Dingzhou (now Changde City, Hunan Province), Jinghu North Road. Politically, he is a white man. His father, Zhong Xiang, is a senior village wizard. What are you doing? Politics is a game for the upper class. When will it be the turn of the idlers to participate?Zhao Gou ordered these people to be sent back to their hometowns and let them be honest farmers. Zhong's father and son also wanted to come safely, but following Zhao Gou across the river, life in the south was even more miserable than Hua Shigang's time.As a senior and powerful grassroots wizard, Zhong Xiang quickly determined a new career—rebellion and rebellion.Before the action, he proposed a slogan, which was very similar to the propaganda slogans of Li Shun and Wang Xiaobo during the uprising. They are all "rich and poor regardless of high or low". Easy to understand and easy to spread.The oppressed flocked, and soon his troops formed, occupying nineteen counties around Dongting Lake in a short time. It was the fourth year of Song Jianyan (1130 A.D.).The entire Jiangnan was in a period of "no matter what". Zhao Gou was too busy to take care of himself. Even if he wanted to suppress them, he had no soldiers to send.Zhong Xiang felt that the situation was very good, so he founded the country with the name of Chu, named it as Tianzai, proclaimed himself the king of Chu, made Zhong Ziang the prince, and became emperor from then on. Officially, he was safe in doing so; practically, he was in big trouble.At that time, the world was in chaos, bandits were rampant, and there were too many powerful people, and there was one not far away from him. Kong Yanzhou. This brother is a typical traveling bandit, swimming all the way from Jiangbei to Jinghu.Eating, robbing, and growing strong all have elements of "swimming".到达洞庭湖边上时，他已经见多识广，久经战乱。 他看了钟相一眼，满眼的鄙视。一个连家门都没出过的乡巴佬，居然当上皇帝了……一时兴起，他带人过去就把大楚国给灭了，钟氏父子一个都没跑了，全被活擒。孔彦舟很会做人，他把起义军的钱粮都留下，而把钟氏父子送给了赵构。 赵构接受他这个人情，一边杀了钟相、钟子昂，一边给孔彦舟转正，让他成了宋朝的国家干部。之后，人事纷乱，孔彦舟在宋朝干得不顺心，渡江到伪齐，成了刘豫的属下。赵构逐渐稳定，在金国的压迫下渐渐羽翼丰满。两人各自忙自己的，迅速把这事儿扔到了脑后。 别管后来的教科书是怎么说的。当时，在孔彦舟的心里，这事儿只是他游寇生涯中的小插曲，过耳就忘。于赵构而言，这事儿很好定性，不就是外来游寇与本埠土寇的火拼，外来的更强些，如此而已。 对洞庭湖来说，事情没完。压迫在继续，反抗要加力，他们推出了新的首领。带头的还姓钟，是钟相的另一个儿子钟子仪，实际权力掌握在一个叫杨太的人的手里。 杨太年纪很小，当地人管小叫“幺”，顺口叫他杨幺。 杨幺的能力很强，运气很好。他上任的时间大约是钟氏父子死后半年左右。那时，赵构刚刚结束上山下海的狼狈生活，宋廷的全部精力都集中在陕西富平方向，关注并支持着张浚进行的国运之战。洞庭湖再闹，也只是一片小浮云。他们翻看了一下升官花名册，派去了一位同样从江北过来的实力派人物。 程昌寓。 从生平简历上看，程昌寓比孔彦舟要强很多。 首先，程昌寓是政府官员，过江之前的职务是蔡州知州。当金兵南下时，他的行为很另类，没有率众死守，演绎英烈的人生；也没有急着逃跑，保命第一。 他把蔡州洗白了。 他把所有的钱财、兵都带走了，搬空了蔡州。他还在汹涌的难民潮里精挑细选，给自己的逃亡生涯增添了些许浪漫色彩。一个叫小心奴的东京欢场女子被他发现了，两人走到了一起。 如此渡江，投入新宋朝的怀抱，让建炎集团从上到下都高看他一眼。瞧瞧人家这官当的，想当初赵构过江时衣衫不整，而人家却全须全尾、两袖“金”风地来了。这就是素质！ 考虑到程昌寓的手里既有钱又有兵，赵构决定把剿灭洞庭湖水匪的事交给他。 程昌寓逃跑时很另类，进兵时也不简单。他把手下分成水、陆两路。陆路是将军带着士兵，水路由他、他老婆、小心奴、大批家丁和幕僚组成。他是北方人，江南水乡的传说对他来说就像梦境一样。他决定从公安县的油河出发，沿鼎江、经龙阳县转往匪区，一边顺水漂荡，一边完成工作。 想得很好，但没考虑到现实状况。 这一路上，风景真的很美。可是，战乱时期物资极度匮乏，这么长的船队，一天下来，食水供应就是个大数字。沿岸全是匪患交战区，都看不到几个人，就算有钱也买不着东西。 好不容易临近鼎州，出现了几个小村镇，船上的贵人们看见了几只活的鸡、鸭、鹅，立即派人上岸去抓。接着就出事了，洞庭湖的水匪日趋强大，业务范围越来越广，这帮外来人刚一靠近就被盯上了，经观察，他们很肥，没兵，可以抢！ 悲剧就这样发生了，剿总司令部在开战前被打劫。整支船队，只有程昌寓的坐舰逃出去了，原因是他的船行驶在最后，见势不妙，他迅速掉头逃跑了。 其他的船全落在了洞庭湖水匪的手里，其中包括东京艳女小心奴……逃出来的程昌寓大怒，迅速与陆路上的大部队会合，决定向水匪开战。 开战前，程昌寓得到了一个最新消息，小心奴进了钟子仪的后宫，地位提升了，已经是嫔妃了。程昌寓反而冷静了下来，他决定把杨幺一伙儿人斩草除根。 为了这个目标，他拿出了从蔡州不远千里带来的钱财，没收了周边所有木材商人的货物，再征集大批工匠，日夜赶工，造出了大批“车船”。 这种船能载兵一千人或两千人。船身是车形，小的二十车，大的二十三车，这种装备安置在船头和船尾，踏车能使船前进后退。 说白了，这和现在人工湖里的脚踏船有点像。 如此巨大的脚踏船进入芷江（今沅江上游），配合步兵进攻夏诚的水寨。如此器械，这般兵力，区区水寨一定能手到擒来。结果，坐等好消息的程昌寓再一次悲剧了。 航道水浅，大型车船搁浅了，横在水里进退不得，被水匪们连船带人抢劫一空。程昌寓很悲愤，为什么会这样？ 后来，也有人问他，为什么会这样。他只能回答说出门没看日子，在屋子里造了艘航空母舰，没想过开不出去。 程昌寓落幕，下一位是纯军方人物王燮。这人在宋史里是个过客，之所以搞成了路人甲，原因就是洞庭湖和杨幺。 王燮原本很有大人物的雏形，征杨幺时，他是荆南府、潭州、鼎州、澧州、岳州、鄂州制置使，手下的兵是神武前军的番号，总兵力达到五万。 放眼南宋，这股力量，别说是当时，就算四大将鼎盛时期也不过如此。当然，兵力不等于实力。可“五万”这个数字的确令人震撼。 派出王燮，足以证明南宋的决心。王燮也非常努力，亲自率领近一万五千精锐坐着小船去剿匪。从这一点可以看出，他吸取了程昌寓的教训。小船总不会搁浅吧？ 小船更悲摧。 程昌寓的大船是没法接近敌人的。轮到他时，洞庭湖的水匪故意让他接近他们，直到他进入深水区……再一举歼灭他。当天，王燮创造了一个纪录，神武前军的精锐全军覆没，“一日之间，万人就死”，他本人则满脸是血地逃了出来，从此一蹶不振。 杨幺的声势更加浩大，直到有传言说刘豫跟他约好了要瓜分南宋天下。 这里要强调一下，关于杨幺与刘豫勾结的事，经各种考证，证实是诬陷。不管刘豫是怎么想的，杨幺从来没答应过什么。 这是宋王朝的惯技，要搞倒一个人，先搞臭他的名声。对王安石如此，对岳飞如此，对杨幺以及所有异类都一样。 杀杨幺前，先把他定位在刘豫的层面上。金国走狗，民族罪人。 临到岳飞剿匪，最活跃的人不是他，而是军方总指挥张浚。张大人自从富平战败以来，每天生不如死。他是那样的骄傲，那样的伟大，是中兴的救世主，是这个时代最明亮的太阳！ 可是却成了最大的笑柄……这让人情何以堪啊。好不容易这次重出江湖，他立即接手全盘军事事务，在每个领域、每条战线都要插上一腿。 这时，他以江防总指挥的名义，跑到岳飞身边担任这次剿匪的监军，并且提出了行动的总前提。他说，之前程、王两人都犯了一个大错误，洞庭湖水匪靠的就是水，官军征讨，首先想到的是没有船，想趁秋冬两季水落潮时进兵。 这是错的。 水匪也是人，也得吃饭。他们在春夏两季分散出去种地，秋冬则收粮回寨聚在一起。秋冬进兵，正好赶上对方兵力集中之时。 这一次要反其道而行之，偏偏就在春夏之交进攻。于是，岳家军的征期定在当年的五月左右。实事求是地说，张浚的眼光很准，至少他看清了一个事实，洞庭湖水匪的确在这个季节里没法全部集中。岳飞到达之后，发现自己的运气也好到了没话说的地步。 五月间的洞庭湖的河岸居然比冬季还浅。 岳飞没有急着趁旱进攻，他想得很清楚，杨幺一伙儿人不只有实力，更有信仰，当年钟相打下的底子很深，想瓦解它，得先从内部来。 他带来了十副金字牌旗榜，可以给匪首安排正式工作。他还给杨幺、钟子仪两人带来了委任状，只要他们肯投降，可以立即在湖南地区就近上班。 匪首们对此表示感谢，同意投降，并且声明一直都在投降，只是需要点什么准备……岳飞听到这话也就明白了，宋朝的匪帮都这样。 里的宋江就是典型，此人一门心思搞招安，和官兵打生打死之后才招安，很符合当时的实际情况。 向施耐庵前辈致敬，他写得非常成功。只是有一点，我看了很多书、电视剧、电影都没搞懂。就是关于招安这一段。梁山匪帮的成员很复杂，来自各行各业，里边有无业游民、职业惯犯，也有富家贵人、朝廷命官。宋江当初拉人家下水时，无所不用其极，比如秦明、卢俊义，搞得人家妻离子散、家破人亡。 说招安就招安，人家本来就是朝廷的官，当初你逼着人家当山贼，这时又逼着人家重回官场，你拿人家当弟兄吗？ 涮人玩啊？ 那不是一句什么“天罡地煞自然相投”就能说得过去的。 跑题了，回到洞庭湖。匪首们死性不改。岳飞先从匪徒的工作做起，他把之前程、王两人抓来的几百个匪徒都放了。这帮匪徒走上久违的大街时，发现商品琳琅满目，一律都是跳楼价。这帮匪徒如在梦中，东西又多又便宜，谁还想当匪徒啊！ 这个消息传进了匪巢，引起了巨大反响。春天刚刚过去，夏天又这么干旱，人们都快饿死了，外面那么多吃的、用的……可就是拿不着。官兵重重围困，有钱也没法去买。食物是人的第一需求。很快，匪帮松动了，投降的人不断出现。 岳飞来到洞庭湖已经半个多月了。某天，张浚突然来找他。张浚说秋天快到了，见鬼，才五六月份，就快到秋天了，他要去江边巡视，金、伪齐敌情才是最重要的。 真让人鄙视，这就是所谓的领导。大头领每处必到，啥事都要参与，蜻蜓点水一样飞来飞去，出了错是具体负责人的，有功了他占头一份。 岳飞拿出一张图给张浚看，对他说了一句话：“您别急着走，八天之内，我将平定洞庭湖，也不耽误您巡视江防。” 张浚愣了，见过吹牛的，哥哥我就经常吹，没见过像你这么吹的。好一会儿，他才回了一句：“王四厢两年尚不能成功，乃欲以八日破贼，君何言之易耶！” 你说得太轻松了吧。 八天之内，别说造船只，选器械，就算只进兵，走路都很紧张。毕竟这是方圆八百里、沟壑纵横的洞庭湖，范围太大了。 岳飞没有再废话，事实胜于雄辩。六月二日，他逼使杨幺军中悍将杨钦出降，俘获老小精壮万余人，船四百多条。凭借这支水军的力量，岳飞各部向位于龙阳县江水北岸的杨幺大寨进攻。战斗的细节很单调，充分显示了杨幺等人贫乏的战术素养。 岳飞命令全军少带武器，尽量收割岸上的杂草，进入战区之后全扔到水里去。杨幺的车船踏板被杂草缠住，没法前进后退，之后，水战就变成了陆战……岳飞的军队能在野战中击败金军主力部队，区区水匪算得了什么。战斗迅速结束，杨幺、钟子仪见势不妙，跳水逃跑，都没有成功。 一战定洞庭湖。 还剩下一座依山临溪的大寨，以夏诚为首。这时，牛皋提议屠寨，把夏诚大寨上下都杀个干净。 这么做是当时的惯例，说得好听一点，是为国家着想，为了长治久安。私下里嘛，谁都清楚。刘光世、张俊的钱都是这么来的，抢光之后杀光，才能毁灭证据。 岳飞坚决反对，他强调“杨幺之徒，本是村民……只是苟全性命，聚众逃生。既已出降，并是国家赤子，杀之岂不伤恩，复有何利”。 他还说：“不得杀，不得杀！” 洞庭湖之战以岳飞的仁厚之心而结束。我不是说他不杀造反的穷苦人是仁厚的，而是说兵危战凶，在那个时代，随便换哪个将领，结局都不会这样。 参与造反的数十万湖湘百姓都被放归田里，重新过上了耕种生活。之后，这片区域一直很平静，再也没有出现过动荡。我没法查到岳飞是怎样安置他们的，但既然不是以杀戮来威胁他们，那就只有一个结论。 仁厚。 中国的老百姓只要能有口饭吃，能妻小平安，就不会去造反。很显然，岳飞满足了他们这一点。 杨幺叛乱时的作战力量大约有六万余人，岳飞把他们都收编了。从此，岳家军达到了十万人的编制，这在当时超越了韩世忠、张俊，仅次于刘光世。 三大将最担心的事终于还是发生了，各人的反应均不相同，有咬牙切齿的，如刘、张；有苦笑摇头的，如韩世忠。拳头大才是真理，岳飞已经压在他们头顶上了。没多久，张俊和韩世忠都收到了一份礼物。从湖湘寄来的一条车船，船上器械人员齐备。 这是岳飞的一份敬意，他想以此向老大哥们表示友善，他没有忘记张俊对他的提携，更不敢藐视韩世忠的赫赫战功，他想获得友谊。 他得到了韩世忠的友谊。老韩呵呵大笑，很高兴地收下了礼物，从此交了岳飞这个朋友。张俊却很愤怒，在他看来，岳飞这是在向他示威，向他展示战功！ 张俊回忆、对比这几年里他和岳飞交集的各个片断，包括这份礼物在内，岳飞的每一次进步都映衬着他的无能、怯懦、失败。他的心里缓缓生出一股怨气，在之后的岁月里，随着岳飞不断建功立业，这股怨气愈加强烈。 直至他做出人神共愤的错事。 张浚就更不用说了，他的“领导”作用被岳飞八天左右剿灭洞庭湖水匪的传奇战绩戳得千疮百孔，想抢，想掩盖，根本不可能。他只好酸酸地赞美了一句：“岳侯殆神算也！”之后，他在心里提醒自己，岳飞是强大的，这是好事。 他的雄心壮志必须有岳飞这样的臂助才能实现，而他的骄傲中也掺杂着高尚，他提醒自己必须高尚，这使得他每做一件事，都要以伟大事业为目标，逼迫自己去实现，失败后又表现得大义凛然。唉，一位多么可怜的落难君王啊…… 对了，忘了说大衙内刘光世。从过程上看，他应该最恨岳飞。岳飞不给他写信，也不给他送礼，而他拥有最多的兵力。他本该暴跳起来去教训岳飞才对，可惜啥事也没发生，他非常平静。这人一直是南宋上层人物的礼拜天，谁都不拿他当回事，只当个乐儿。 他的兵再多又怎样，都是雄狮又怎样，他只是一只乖乖的绵羊。 这时是宋绍兴五年（公元1135年）六月。洞庭湖起义被镇压之后，南宋、金国同时进入了一个特殊时期。 金国不再进攻。南宋举国讨论，都在想以后怎么办。 金国一方行动迅速，小皇帝完颜亶上台之后，行政机构发生了天翻地覆的变化。立国之本的勃极烈制被废除，改行三省制。 这个变化从纯技术角度去看，是非常正确、积极的。勃极烈制实际上是个权力集中小组。全国的所有权力都集中在都勃极烈（皇帝）、谙班勃极烈（皇储）、国论勃极烈（国相）、阿买勃极烈（国相助手）等一小撮人的手里。 女真人刚兴起时这么干还成，阿骨打还活着时这样干也成，因为他有着神一样的地位，没有任何人敢违抗他的任何言行。 可灭辽之后就不成了，庞大的国土、臃肿的机构是一团复杂到无法想象的乱麻，靠这几个人累死都理不出头绪。事实让女真人妥协，就算他们再仇恨契丹人，再瞧不起汉人，也推行了南面官制度，也就是当年辽国人的那一套。 在燕云十六州地区用汉人的机构、官员处理汉人的事务。 这时，完颜亶推行的三省制，是用中书、门下、尚书三个部门作为最高权力机构，以三师（太师、太傅、太保）、三公（太尉、司徒、司空）为最高官衔，管理具体办事的六部。这么看纯粹是宋朝模式嘛。不，金国声称这是汉制不假，可源头是唐朝，和宋没有关系。 其实，这些都不重要，抛开表面看实际，这是一场有针对性的阴谋。金帝换人，权力重组，大家都希望某个人换一下位置。 完颜亶把大殿下完颜宗翰从云中地区召来，微笑着问了一句：“请问您想在新机构里担任最高职务吗？” 完颜宗翰兴奋地点头，说：“当然！” 于是，这位后世公认的女真建国第一功臣完颜宗翰殿下，当上了太保、尚书令，领三省事，封晋国王，成为新机构的国相。作为交换，他的军职被免除，办公地点从遥远的云中挪到了皇宫隔壁。 南宋方面的事要多彩一些，准确地说，就是多彩，因为很多事一起发生。先是赵构号召全国参与讨论以后的国策走向。 是战，是和，何时决战，怎样求和，徽、钦二宗等被俘人员怎样处理，这些大事都需要从长计议。难得这时外敌撤退，内匪剿平，是时候说一说了。 当然，讨论人员的范围还是有限制的，以南宋国内现有的曾任宰执为主，这里面有当政的赵鼎、张浚，有曾任的朱胜非、吕颐浩，有同是受难者的汪伯彦、黄潜善，有不太知名、没甚作为的李邴，还有李纲、秦桧。 这场讨论浪费了很多办公用纸，却几乎没有实际效果，每个讨论者都很忠于自己，所说的话无非都是之前自己不断强调的那些而已。 李纲仍旧是李纲，秦桧还是秦桧。 真正多彩的是另一件事。现年二十八岁的赵构给自己的养子赵瑗修了座学堂，小孩子要上学读书，学做一个合格的皇太子。 这个孩子已经出现在公众眼中三年了，之所以会出现，有很多传说。两条最著名的传说分别是：他由使者从遥远的北方带回；赵构某天夜里突然惊醒，自己陈述。 使者版是一个印象。南宋派到金国的某个使者回国之后，声称他见到了宋太祖……这让南宋举国上下震惊！战无不胜、神武英明的赵匡胤，这对宋朝是一个传说，一个永恒的猜想。如果他不
