Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Huaixi Military Change

Zhang Jun. The right minister and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy have long disliked Zhao Ding. Although Zhao Ding pulled him out of the abyss, the gap between the two people's working methods and political ideals is too great, which can be called a gap. Zhao Ding is a person who suppresses the outside world and must first secure the inside. He always keeps his eyes on the three-acre land south of the Yangtze River. Think about what's going on outside." Zhang Jun scoffed, Zhao Ding's idea seemed reasonable, but it was unreasonable.May I ask what level is considered rich? Do the benevolent and divine dynasties of the Northern Song Dynasty count?But at that time, there were still countless officials who complained that the country was too poor, the people were too poor, and the civil servants were too poor to go to war.Do you know how to support war with war?In war, our side is expending, and the enemy is also expending, so we have to look at both sides between gains and losses, understand?

In Zhang Jun's eyes, Zhao Ding is a short-sighted coward, a stumbling block to his ideals.For example, what is Yue Fei doing this time?As soon as Yue Fei moved, there was no one in Xianghan, what if they were attacked there?Every time, the east wall is torn down to make up for the west wall. It has been done several times, and it is always repaired like this.No matter how stupid the Jurchens are, they will seize the opportunity sooner or later. After thinking about it, Zhang Jun put forward two suggestions: first, take advantage of the victory to attack Henan, capture Liu Yu and restore the old capital of Kaifeng;

In all fairness, these two things are urgent, and both of them are sure to succeed. Zhang Jun said it well.But Zhao Ding disagreed, Master Zuo Xiang had another opinion, saying that Liu Yu was just a piece of fat on the case and could be chopped off at any time.However, is there any benefit after chopping?At that time, there will be a direct conflict with Jin Guo.Comparing the two, it is better to keep the pseudo Qi as a buffer. As for Liu Guangshi, his army has been intertwined for many years. It is almost Liu's private army. If he is suddenly dismissed and incorporated, be careful that something big will happen and he will not be able to deal with the aftermath.

Zhang Jun was furious, really stupid!Keeping the false Qi as a buffer, it can be seen that Zhao Pu's policy towards the Northern Han Dynasty in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the Khitan was strong and the South was weak, and the Song Dynasty had to separate steps in its offensive.Note that it is on offense.Can this time be compared to then?A cowardly and rotten man who followed the scriptures!He couldn't be softer on Liu Guangshi. Putting aside the war factor, he dared not touch him just because of the nature of the private army, which aggravated the general's arrogance.This is the first major national policy of the Song Dynasty, and the gun must be in the hands of the government.

According to the scriptures, I don't know the so-called cowardly and rotten Confucianism! Zhao Ding lost his temper completely, so he had no choice but to show his magnanimity. He took the initiative to meet the emperor, saying that Zhang Jun was like his brother, but he was separated by villains. A good working atmosphere depends on good personal relationships, and now you have to choose one or the other.Several major issues facing the country, such as retrieving lost land and welcoming the second emperor, all require military action to solve, so we have to "dump and save".

After that, Zhao Ding left in a chic manner, leaving a high-grade impression on the officialdom, which is very conducive to a comeback.But before he restarts, the country needs a new prime minister, who should we choose? This will be determined by the new Prime Minister Zhang Jun.Zhang Jun searched for a long time in the roster of officials, and finally settled on one. It was really surprising, it was Qin Hui. The most commendable thing in Zhang Jun's life is not his so-called military talent, but his knowledge of people.He single-handedly promoted a lot of famous ministers, such as Zhao Kai, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Yu Yunwen, Wang Shipeng, all of whom were well-known at the time and made outstanding achievements.The officials of the Southern Song Dynasty also admitted this point. The officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty was constantly ups and downs, and many "ups and downs" were due to his recommendation.However, he recommended Qin Hui... It is no exaggeration to say that he opened the most dangerous Pandora's Box at the turn of the Song Dynasty!

The reason why Zhang Jun chose Qin Hui was "soft and sycophant, easy to control". is it possible? "Ning", this is a derogatory term, it means that Zhang Jun already knew that Qin Hui was a bad guy.There is a basis for this, Qin Hui was very evil when he was dismissed last time, and most people know that he is definitely not a kind person. But "soft" means that Qin Hui is soft, easy to control?This is outrageous. When Qin Hui was the head of Yushitai, he opposed the Kingdom of Jin, and advocated the division of the North and the South in the Southern Song Dynasty. Every time he stood on the cusp of the storm with a clear-cut banner, which point was "soft"?

There is no other explanation, but it can only be attributed to Qin Hui's omnipotent deception, and Zhang Jun, who claims to know people, also fell into it. When Zhang Jun came to the stage, times came and went, and the whole world cooperated with him.First came a good start, and he ordered Yue Fei to cross the river and make another expedition to the north.This made Yue Fei both painful and happy. His eye disease had just improved, but the military rations were still far away. Under such circumstances, is it appropriate to go on an expedition to Jiangbei?Yue Fei thought about it, all right, let's go out.

He brought enough rations for ten days. For Yue Fei's third Northern Expedition, he only brought food and grass for ten days, but the target was Caizhou (now Runan, Henan), an important town in the Puppet Qi Dynasty. There was not only a tall city, but also many defending enemies, as well as veteran traveling bandits and rival Li Cheng. Li Cheng is known as the number one general in Puppet Qi, and he is still very smart.Knowing that Yue Fei was attacking, he was very serious, first came to a strong wall to clear the field, and never gave Yue Fei a chance to grab food on the spot.Then, he decided to give Yue Fei a small stimulus.

Yue Fei came to the city of Caizhou, and found that there was nothing on the tall city wall, no soldiers, no flags, no sound, the whole city was quiet, as if empty.This is really uncommon. Yue Fei ordered the siege, regardless of whether it was empty or not, a vacuum would save trouble.Unexpectedly, the top of the city suddenly changed drastically, soldiers, flags, arrows, and big stones all appeared, which really made the Yue family's army below the city flustered for a while.After tossing for a long time, the two sides reached a deadlock.This is good, Li Cheng is very excited, which is exactly what he wants.

Caizhou City was extremely strong, and the surrounding Puppet Qi army quickly closed in. Li Xu, Shang Yuan, Kong Yanzhou, Jia Tan and many other people surrounded them.Yue Fei...hehe, I can't beat you single-handedly, how about a gang fight against the head office? Yue Fei quickly realized that something was wrong. This time he was limited by the shortage of military rations, so he only brought out 20,000 soldiers. With this force, it is difficult to sweep across the Central Plains like last time.what to do?retreat! Yue Fei jumped out of the encirclement before the enemy encircled him and retreated to the Yangtze River.Li Cheng yelled, jumped up, and chased after him!It was not easy to catch this kind of opportunity. Before being hunted down by Yue Fei all over the world, he fled all the way from Jiangnan to Jiangbei. His life has been messed up. This time, he must come back.He ordered every soldier to prepare a long rope to tie back every Yue family army including Yue Fei! This group of people went out to chase and kill Yue Fei's third Northern Expedition.If Li Cheng really hid behind the city wall and endured to the end, Yue Fei really had nothing to do with him, but he actually chased him out, and before the gang fight was formed... Li Cheng was once again tragic. In this battle, his people died How many, there is no record in history, there are thousands of people captured alone, including dozens of generals.In addition, 3,000 war horses were seized. Li Cheng wants to cry but has no tears. He is an old man who has never read any books. He does not know that there is a very special kind of soldier in history. ! Yue Fei's third Northern Expedition ended.The above results were achieved within ten days by 20,000 troops.When the news came back, the whole country was excited, and Zhang Jun's main battle concept was accepted by more people.Seeing that a larger-scale Northern Expedition was about to begin, at this critical moment, Jiangbei also came to join in the fun, and an important news came from the far north. In the first month of the seventh year of Song Shaoxing (AD 1137), He Mo, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, returned to the country and brought back a letter from Wanyan Zongbi, the right deputy marshal of the Jin Kingdom, which mentioned that Song Huizong was dead. Zhao Ji died two years ago, in 1135 AD.The journey was long and the war was uncertain. At that time, the Song and Jin countries fought fiercely on various fronts, and no one paid attention to such trivial matters. Looking back on Zhao Ji's life, he was emperor for 25 years and a prisoner for 8 years, living a total of 53 years.I once enjoyed all the blessings in the world and was extremely happy; I also once lived under the fence of others, and suffered all the humiliation when I was the king of subjugation.To some extent, he has lived a rich and colorful life, and he has tasted all kinds of tastes, which is not a loss. In fact, seriously speaking, those eight years of life in the north were not bad, and the Jurchens treated him well.They didn't beat him or scold him. They gave him land and agricultural tools, and let him take care of himself. If we must mention the physical aspect, the way people deal with Zhao Ji's body is likely to be controversial.In the official historical records of the Kingdom of Jin, the method of handling is very local, that is, direct burial without a coffin.In order to take care of the emotions of the Han people, they wrapped a layer of raw silk on the body and buried him with Queen Zheng, who died earlier. A few years later, Song and Jin negotiated peace, and Huizong's coffin was able to return to China.Zhao Gou and other officials in the Southern Song Dynasty did not open the coffin for inspection, but buried it directly in the soil, as if they knew what mystery was inside the coffin, and it was not suitable for the public to see and hear.Many years later, when the Song Dynasty fell, there was a vicious fan monk named Yang Lian Zhenjia in the Yuan Dynasty army, who dug up the six tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Six Tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty are located in Zangong Village, southeast of today's Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. Seven emperors, including Hui, Gao, Xiao, Guang, Ning, Li, and Du, and their concubines are buried inside. Yang Lian Zhenjia dug up the graves of each emperor, took off the skulls, polished them carefully, processed them into Buddha strings and hung them on his chest.During this process, the coffins of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty appeared in the daytime, and there were no secrets under the sun. Song Huizong Zhao Ji's coffin did not contain a corpse, only a rotten piece of wood.Where did his body go?This is a thousand-year-old mystery.Considering that Zhao Gou did not dare to open the coffin for an autopsy, it is very likely that Huizong's corpse was disposed of in such a cruel way that the argument that it was buried in raw silk is simply untenable. What the hell?It is impossible to come to a so-called real conclusion even further back, and it is impossible to change the damage to Zhao Gou's soul.In the final analysis, he is a human being, no matter how dark his mind is, no matter how many emperor's minds he has, he can't destroy the father-son relationship.He burst into tears on the spot, staggered back to the palace, and couldn't get a drop of water for several days, feeling so sad that he couldn't bear to live. The persuasion of many ministers and relatives could not appease his anger!He wanted revenge, and he wanted Jin Guo to pay the price, and he wanted to pay in blood.At this moment, he is determined to destroy the country and species of the Jurchens! For this reason, Zhao Gou summoned Yue Fei. The two met and talked in the inner hall. The content was very strange, and it was about horses.During this period, Zhao Gou seemed to be very interested in horses.He first had a chat with Zhang Jun, saying that he didn't need to see the horse, but he could know the horse's character and specialties as long as he heard the sound of its hooves.This time, he chatted with Yue Fei, and Yue Fei mainly introduced his experience in raising horses. To put it simply, Yue Fei believes that a good horse must eat well, drink well, start slowly and have good stamina, while a bad horse is just the opposite.Zhao Gou nodded after hearing this.Afterwards, no matter what the occasion, Zhao Gou declared that Yue Fei's character became more and more perfect, and he was the real pillar of the country.After that, Zhao Gou set off for Jiankang.Along the way, Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, Yue Fei and others escorted them.Yue Fei, the most peripheral general, was summoned alone again. The two talked in secret again, and Zhao Gou only said one sentence: "For the matter of ZTE, I have appointed you, except for Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong who are not restrained, the rest will be controlled by you." Yue Fei's heart was agitated, his long-cherished wish had come true, the day of gathering the whole nation's troops for the Northern Expedition had finally arrived, and once this order took effect, he would have the command of most of the Southern Song Dynasty's troops! Especially Liu Guangshi's battalion left guard army, this army will be placed under his name.This is the hidden meaning of the secrets of raising horses that the two talked about last time. The so-called "eating well and drinking well" means that if you want the horse to run, you must feed the horse and increase the troops of the Yue family army; " "Slow start, strong stamina" refers to the effect after the increase in troops, not just for a while, the Northern Expedition is a long-term plan, and we must have sufficient patience. The founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty and the strongest general of ZTE finally came together at this moment. It was the ninth day of March in the seventh year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty (1137 A.D.).Zhao Gou and Yue Fei reached an ideological unity in a very confidential manner, and at the same time carried out practical operations intensively. They are on the way to Jiankang, and the purpose of this trip is to seize Liu Guangshi's military power. Liu Guangshi's battalion left guard army is powerful, with about 52,000 people, it was once the largest army in the Southern Song Dynasty.This kind of force, stationed on the border, is headed by people like Liu Guangshi. Referring to the lessons of the various troops who defected to the puppet Qi in the past, it is easy to draw a conclusion-dangerous. Extremely dangerous, even classic tricks cannot be used.For example, if you call Liu Guangshi to Beijing to meet His Majesty, if you win on the spot, you will gain both lives and military power. Da Ya Nei is very clear about official affairs, he has used almost all dirty, filthy, insidious, and obscene tricks.It’s not that I understand it, it’s that I’ve used it!So, don't try to be opportunistic. At this time, Zhao Gou took Yang Yizhong, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other strong generals to subdue Liu Guangshi together, and wrote a letter to Liu Guangshi before leaving.Said: "Aiqing, you're loyal to the gods, and your merits are preserved in the community'. I trust you very much. Now, some things are very important and complicated. I want to talk to you face to face. You are waiting for me in Jiankang." For all these, Zhao Gou personally went into battle to pave the way for Yue Fei. Yue Fei was very moved. On the second day after the secret talk, that is, on March 10, he wrote a memorial, expressing his gratitude and thinking about major military affairs one by one. This memorial is very famous and is divided into three sections. The first paragraph is thank you and can be ignored. The second paragraph is the war strategy and steps.Yue Fei said that he would go straight to Beijing and Luo, and occupy Heyang, Shanfu, and Tongguan. With these three places in hand, he ordered the rebel generals of the five routes to force Liu Yu to abandon the old capital of Kaifeng, cross the Yellow River, and retreat to Hebei. At this time, Gyeonggi and Shaanxi can be completely restored. As for the counties in the east of the capital, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun are in charge. There are two points worth paying attention to in the above content: 1. The initial planning of the war is to the south bank of the Yellow River, limited to the recovery of the land including Kaifeng, the old capital, which is the part currently occupied by the puppet Qi; In addition to Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun, Yue Fei is in charge of the war zone in the world, "declaring and fussing all roads". It is equal to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. The third paragraph reads: "...At the same time, welcome back the Emperor Taishang and Empress Ningde to the Zi Palace, and invite the relatives of heaven to return to the country, so that the ancestral temple will be safe again, and all surnames will be happy together. Your Majesty will rest easy and worry about nothing. The minister's wish is over. Then he begged and returned to the field, as this minister promised himself in the past." Yue Fei said so. The vast majority of people in later generations believed that Yue Fei was a political idiot who only knew how to make progress for the country and didn't know how to protect himself, which led to his later tragedy.Look at the above, do you still say that?How clever Yue Fei is, how can he not understand this trivial matter that everyone knows?He knows how taboo it is to lead the military power in the world. Before he succeeds, he declares that once the matter is completed, he will return to the mountains immediately, and he will not even be an official! Zhao Gou appreciated this very much, and he made the following comments: "There are ministers like this, so why worry about Gu Fu. I don't control the timing of advance or stop. I can only order the generals to spread lenient grace and kill lightly, so that I can satisfy my wishes." This means that he can rest assured that Yue Fei handles affairs, and he can follow Yue Fei in whatever he does. What a harmonious pair of monarchs and ministers! The two chatted very speculatively, and they did what they said, and first joined forces to recruit the Zuo Guard Army.The unlucky Liu Guangshi was dealt with by Zhao Gou himself, very quickly and smoothly.Liu Guangshi was dismissed from the military around the end of the month, and served as the envoy of Wanshou Temple with the false title of Shaobao and Jiedushi of the Three Towns. From now on, Daya Nei is at ease and enjoying life! It will take a lot of trouble to incorporate Liu Jiajun.Everyone knows that Da Ya Nei is an idiot, but his subordinates are very knowledgeable. It is a very learned thing to make these army ruffians obedient.In this regard, Zhao Gou has no good solution, he can only do his own duty and issue a notice to the army ruffians in the form of imperial decree. In the notice, Zhao Gou emphasized how much he liked the soldiers of the Zuo Guard Army. They had shared the joys and sorrows with him since they crossed the south, and even before, they took the same ferry.At this time, in order to create greater achievements, Zhao Gou assigned them to Yue Fei and asked them to listen to Yue Fei.They will definitely create more brilliant achievements, Zhao Gou is waiting to present awards to them! Of course, if you are not obedient... "If you violate this statement, the state has a permanent constitution."These eight words make people tremble, this is a naked threat.Zhao Gou believed that with the government's support, coupled with Yue Fei's high prestige in the army, coupled with the strength of the Yue family army, it was enough to swallow the fat of the left guard army in the camp. Everything was so beautiful, Yue Fei was ready to set off to receive it, but he didn't notice that there was someone staring at him, envious and jealous, he was about to go crazy. Zhang Jun. Since becoming the number one man in the military and the prime minister again, the governor has elevated himself to the level of the number one man in the Song Empire.In his heart, self-esteem and arrogance are always inseparable, and the foundation of self-esteem and arrogance is power! Yue Fei is in command of the world's soldiers and horses... so where is his governor's mansion?Where does he, the de facto first man of the empire, be placed?The more Zhang Jun thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He couldn't understand why the emperor didn't even understand the most basic common sense. Only he could rejuvenate the Song Dynasty, expel the aliens, and win every battle and conquer the Central Plains. This is something the whole world knows! Yue Fei is a farmer and a Qiu Ba, why should he steal the limelight from him? The more Zhang Jun thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided to talk to the emperor and demolished Yue Fei.What?To demolish Yue Fei is to demolish and revitalize the Han nation?Just kidding, this station can only be built by me alone! When he got up, another person quietly appeared.Qin Hui, a member of the Privy Council, observed everything quietly. He had clearly observed Zhang Jun's mental fluctuations, and decided to help this "first person". Zhang and Qin entered the palace together and talked with Zhao Gou, but the content is unknown.When they came out, Zhao Gou became very calm.From the first month to this time, it was almost a hundred days. In such a short period of time, Zhao Gou calmed down and let go of the hatred of the country and the family... This is Zhao Gou. He is bloody and vengeful. Too little, it is not durable. He must have thought of the so-called ancestral family law, a general cannot lead the army alone, and he must not lead the military power alone, otherwise it will cause Xiao Qiang, and without outside ghosts, the internal thieves will destroy his Zhao family. He would also think of his little thoughts all the time. He didn't want to fight the Jurchens to the death, and the battles he supported in the past had only one purpose, which was to force peace through war. It's just a little bit more bargaining chips at the negotiating table. Yue Fei walked happily on the way to recruit the left guard army of the camp.He walked very fast, but the messenger who was chasing after him was even faster, and an imperial decree came. The imperial decree said: "Go to Huaixi to merge with the Left Guard Army. There are some twists and turns. Don't take out the edict I wrote before. You can talk about it after you really control the Left Guard Army. Now, go to the Dudu Mansion as soon as possible. , someone is waiting for you over there." Yue Fei felt cold, Zhang Jun was the only one in the governor's mansion, what are you going to talk to him about? When Zhang Jun and Yue Fei met this time, the atmosphere at the beginning was not bad.The two had worked together before, and they had a great time cooperating in the eradication of water bandits in Dongting Lake.Yue Fei also crossed the river to conquer the north and won a decisive victory over thousands of miles, adding to Zhang Jun's plan to restore China.Speaking of everything, Yue Fei is Zhang Jun's nobleman. Zhang Jun faced his nobleman, but he didn't know it. His burning jealousy turned into a small plan. He wanted to get rid of Yue Fei completely. Zhang Jun: "Marquis Yue, the camp's left guard has lost its commander, who do you think is suitable?" Yue Fei: "..." (Did he say he was suitable?) Zhang Jun: "How about Wang De?" Yue Fei: "..." Wang De and Li Qiong are the top officers of the Zuo Guard Army, and they are neither superior nor superior, and it is impossible to distinguish them.Liu Guangshi used this point to balance the power of the army, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the entire army.At this time, insisting on elevating Wang De to the top, isn't it forcing Li Qiong to rebel?Yue Fei was speechless, how could Zhang Jun be regarded as a leader, he didn't understand why? Yue Fei: "Wang De can't." Zhang Jun: "Well, I think so, so Lu Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was sent to lead the whole army." Yue Fei: "Lu Zhi is a scholar, and he has never been to the grassroots level. He can't do it." Zhang Jun: "Then Zhang Jun, the oldest general, the army is still nearby, how about he take over?" Yue Fei: "That's my old leader. I respect him. But he has a rough personality and has been at odds with the generals of the Left Guard Army for many years, especially with Li Qiong. If he is recruited, the effect will not be very good. " Zhang Jun: "Oh...is that so? Then let Yang Yizhong come forward. He is the commander of the imperial army and the emperor's confidant. This is the head office." Yue Fei: "Yang Yizhong's status in the army is at most equal to that of Wang De and others. He is not as good as Wang De. Doesn't the governor know that the army is xenophobic?" At this point, Zhang Jun was furious: "I knew no one could do it except you!" Yue Fei was even angrier: "Dudu Zhang, you asked me about the country's business, and I answered truthfully. How can you say that I am greedy for more troops?" This sentence completely angered Zhang Jun, "coveting to get more troops", the two of them knew each other well, he, Zhang Jun stabbed in the back, wounded people in the back, and demolished Yue Fei, wasn't he just coveting the left guard army in Huaixi?Yue Fei scolded him face to face. In a rage, Yue Fei left the Dudu's Mansion, after thinking about it, he felt that without Zhao Gou's support, Zhang Jun would never have dared to seize power so blatantly.It can be seen from this that if the left guard army is gone, the Northern Expedition, which led the world's soldiers and horses, will come to naught.For a while, he was disheartened, and he no longer had the mind to do anything.Yue Fei wrote a memorial, resigned from all official positions, and before the emperor approved, he took off his shoes and socks, walked barefoot to Lushan Mountain, and kept filial piety for his mother. Yue Fei put down the pick, and Zhang Jun was overjoyed. He was writing a memorial to impeach Yue Fei, and this was really a material for him. After being convicted, Zhang Jun quickly sent people to Ezhou to recruit the Yue family army.Don't you want to resign?Coincidentally, I want to dispatch the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses that day, not only the Zuo Guard Army, but also your Yue Family Army. With good luck and happy events in pairs, Zhang Jun decided to swallow the two fat men in one gulp, and at the same time receive the camp left and rear guards.He sent Zhang Zongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War and Counselor of the Governor's Mansion, to Ezhou to incorporate Yue's army. Zhang Zongyuan once served as Zhang Jun's staff and confidant when he was the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi and presided over the Fuping decisive battle. Zhang Jun sent Lu Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of War and Counselor of the Governor's Mansion, to Huaixi to recruit Liu's army. These two brothers are both members of the Ministry of War according to their positions, and another common point is more obvious, they both work in the Governor's Mansion, and they went to recruit them. To use an official term, it is called "If Zhang Jun comes in person". on both sides simultaneously.Let’s talk about the side where the situation is developing rapidly first——Yue Fei’s Ezhou side. Yue Fei went directly to Lushan, and did not return to the Ezhou garrison. The army was handed over to Zhang Xian. This is really an opportunity, it is an illusion to subdue Yue Fei on his territory, but when Yue Fei is not around, it should not be difficult to subdue Yue Fei's generals.Zhang Zongyuan took the government's approval document and hurried to compile it. When we got there...it was quiet, nothing happened.There was no resistance, no mutiny, no dissatisfaction, just the entire rear guard.The whole territory of Ezhou is in order. Zhang Zongyuan is like a tourist, no one pays attention to him.He went to the grassroots staff and was told to go to Zhang Xian; to find Zhang Xian, unfortunately, Zhang Xian fell ill.Just two evasions stumped Zhang Zongyuan. In fact, the entire Southern Song Dynasty was stumped. In the past ten years, Yue Fei has been invincible in every attack, invincible in all battles, loves soldiers like a son, and has extremely strict self-discipline. All of these together make the entire rear guard army a solid piece of iron, and no one will be allowed to enter. Zhang Jun still wants to make a fuss, and must change the surname of this land to Zhang.Zhao Gou woke up in time and kicked the "first person" aside.Starting from the overall situation, the coach of Huaixi is dismissed, and the coach of Ezhou resigns. If both sides are in chaos, it is not a matter of taking the initiative to attack and revenge. Be careful that the Yangtze River defense line collapses!After careful consideration, Zhao Gou decided to have a pen chat with Yue Fei. Yue Fei wrote a resignation letter, Zhao Gou sealed the envelope and mailed it back, expressing his rejection. Yue Fei was so angry and depressed that he continued to write letters, declaring that he would finish his filial piety for his mother and had no intention of handling official duties.Zhao Gou persuaded him well, and promptly reported the military situation, saying: "You are indispensable to the country, and you are indispensable to the army. Aiqing, come back soon." Yue Fei still refused. Now that the army was mentioned, he reiterated his long-cherished wish to become a soldier in Zhongxing Handi. With this premise, he has the motivation.Zhao Gou was deeply moved, and upgraded from persuasion to praise, and then to a promise, saying that Zhang Jun was waiting for him again and would discuss military affairs again.Aiqing, please come back. At the end of the letter this time, Zhao Gou wrote: "... I will seal it again and return it to you, please do not invite me again." I will seal and return your letter again, don't say anything, do it quickly! Yue Fei remained silent. Zhao Gou finally couldn't sit still anymore. What did Yue Fei want to do? He wanted to... plot rebellion, or defect?It can't be so serious.As long as he continues to be passive and sabotage, the Yangtze River defense line will be in jeopardy. Yue Fei didn't realize how much Zhao Gou's mentality was fluctuated by his angry behavior.Soon, the Song court issued a special order to order Yue Fei's important staff Li Ruoxu and Wang Gui, one of the generals of the Yue family's army, to go to Lushan Mountain to persuade Yue Fei to go down the mountain.If Yue Fei still refuses to obey the edict, Li and Wang will follow the law. Yue Fei's stubbornness was shocking. At this point, he still chose to refuse.Li and Wang persuaded him on the mountain for nearly six days, but he remained unmoved. In the end, Li Ruoxu became angry. Li Ruoxu is the elder brother of Li Ruoshui, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. Who can forget Mr. Li Ruoshui?The one who died, the one who died for his country!His elder brother and he are a kind of people who put the interests of the country and the destiny of the nation first at all times.He understands Yue Fei's anger very well, and he understands Yue Fei's stubbornness very well, but if this continues, it will affect national defense. He couldn't help but said: "If the stalemate continues, Yu Gong will delay state affairs, and the country will suspect your intentions; Yu private, Wang Gui and I will be punished. Which point do you want to see? You are a farmer in Hebei, Now that you are the general of the country, do you want to fight against the court?" Yue Fei woke up with a start. The Northern Expedition was his wish, and it was a major national event. He didn't know how many twists and turns he had to go through to succeed. How could he exile himself and give up on himself because of a trivial matter?It's really impulsive.Thinking of this, he decided to go down the mountain, and wrote a memorial to plead guilty to Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou's reply letter is very intriguing. He said: "I am not angry with you. If I am angry, there will be measures. His Majesty Taizu once said, 'The only one who breaks my law is the sword ear'. Now, I still let you lead the army and restore the homeland. This is enough to prove my sincerity." Is this a consolation, or a warning?Is it a heart-to-heart, saying everything, or an ultimatum before killing?Various guesses vary from person to person.At that time, Yue Fei didn't think too much, so he re-invested in the active preparations for the Northern Expedition. It was July and August in the seventh year of Song Shaoxing (AD 1137). Yue Fei's problem seemed to be resolved, and the adjustment of the empire's military affairs could come to an end, but no one would have expected that, including Yue Fei, it would happen later. what! Compared with the calmness in Ezhou, Huaixi was boiling from beginning to end.First, Zhang Jun carefully selected a loyal and capable person to be the receptionist-Lu Zhi. Councilor Lu Da is a man of the day in Lin'an Prefecture. He is dignified and impassioned, and he has publicized his ideals on various occasions.He said that if he was given an army of the size of Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, he could sweep across Jiangbei and capture Liu Yu alive. Well, he is on the same level as Yue Fei. The public paid attention to him, and Zhang Jun appreciated him, so he became Liu Guangshi's successor.From here, we can draw a conclusion, how important ideals are, and how great propaganda is.You just need to keep promoting, even if you haven't done anything or fought any battles, you can become the commander-in-chief of one of the five major military regions in the country! Lu Zhi was still on the road, and Huaixi was in trouble.Zhang Jun's governor's mansion ordered from the beginning that Lu Zhi was the political and military leader, and Wang De was under him. Li Qiong immediately became angry, why?For so many years, he was inferior to Wang Yesha, and suddenly he was divided into subordinates and subordinates, which was unfair.He jointly filed a complaint with more than ten generals to the Privy Council. At the same time, he listed the mistakes Wang De had made over the years, and publicly stated that he could not bear such an incompetent and guilty boss in any case. Of course Wang De is not convinced, you boy is naked jealousy, you say I made a mistake, tell me who in our left guard has a clean ass?He treated his own body in the same way as his own, and also appealed to the Privy Council, demanding severe punishment for his disobedient and unclean subordinates. According to common sense, Li Qiong would lose, and Wang De was the confirmed second in command. To make such a fuss, first of all, he disobeyed the superiors and dared to resist the emperor's decision. But the result was unexpected, Wang De was actually transferred to Lin'an City, which belonged to the Governor's Mansion, accompanied by 8,000 of his personal soldiers.How did this happen, that Li Qiong won the lawsuit? Both Wang De and Zhang Jun couldn't tell, especially Zhang Dudu, the "first person". Zhang Jun's wishful thinking was suddenly shattered. He wanted to swallow the two armies of Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi in one go and become the veritable number one official in the Southern Song Dynasty, but Yue Fei's understatement made him very desperate. Liu Guangshi was already a duck. It was cooked, but suddenly it flew onto someone else's plate. He was taken aback by the person who did something wrong, and he never thought it would be this person.Qin Hui, who has always been obedient and compliant, "soft and easy to control", stabbed him at a critical moment. Qin Hui said that military power is the foundation of the country, and national military power can only be attributed to the Privy Council, which is the ancestral system.The Governor's Mansion is a new thing, and it is not easy to hold too much power.These words were aboveboard, and Zhang Jun didn't dare to refute a word. This is Zhang Jun's IQ, why can't he think of this?Going into battle shirtless, working desperately, not wanting any face, but making a wedding dress for someone else. What is the last name of the Privy Council?Surnamed Zhao!What's his last name?Surnamed Zhang.The annexation of the army by Henan farmers surnamed Yue is a threat, so it is only natural that he, a Sichuan boy, engages in annexation? I don't know people, let alone myself, it's ridiculous. Now, he can only take advantage of the donkey under the slope and the opportunity of Li Qiong's appeal to get Wang De and 8,000 soldiers into his hands.This is the benefit he got from breaking up with Yue Fei after a lot of tossing. What about the sequelae? It's still in progress. When Lu Zhi arrived in Huaixi, Li Qiong gathered a large group of generals and officials to welcome him in line. He didn't have any words of welcome. He asked the court how to deal with Wang De's affairs at the beginning. Let's go. Lu Zhi was a true scholar, he would have panicked when he met so many senior soldiers all at once, but he had been thinking about leveling the Central Plains all year round, and when things came to an end, he was somewhat calm. In the name of Zhang Jun, he asked the soldiers to look forward and forget everything about the past. Anyway, Wang De was no longer in the same class as them.After finishing speaking, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Huaixi Military Region turned around to pay, and never came out again. If anyone wants to see him, he is "eating", "resting", "still resting", "eating again"... or he is focusing on silk and bamboo, forgetting the fish, wandering away, because there is music floating in the tent External evidence. After a long time, the Huaixi Army became suspicious from top to bottom.What do these people do? They are called officers and soldiers at school, and bandits when they are nicknamed. Observing the enemy's situation is their most basic instinct. Those who are abnormal are demons. Something must be wrong with this Lu Zhi! Li Qiong mobilized his troops to lay a net between Lin'an and Huaixi.Soon, he intercepted a letter. The letter was written by Lu Zhi to the Lin'an Governor's Mansion. It is difficult to determine which letter it is between the two places. It clearly states that the Huaixi Army is hopeless, and Lu Zhi is trying to delay time. , It is recommended that the country act quickly and send special personnel to "divide its soldiers." Li Qiong and the others felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their whole bodies were cold. This is a more ruthless trick than incorporation. Incorporation is to maintain a complete establishment. The generals and soldiers in the original team remain the same, just change the leader.This is the most important part in the army. After all, you have to rely on each other when you go to the battlefield. Only the old brothers who have been mixed together for many years are effective, so that they can continue to do what they like to do. But "dividing the soldiers" is different. This is to break up the organizational system and distribute the soldiers and generals to other troops. It means that the previous designations are gone and everything is invalidated. This is tantamount to killing Li Qiong and the others! Shocked and skeptical, Li Qiong and the others sent someone to Lin'an to inquire about the news, but returned halfway.Those who divided the troops were already on the road. Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, and Liu Qi divided Huaixi and would soon cross the river. Desperate... These three people are the strongest soldiers that Lin'an can bring out, and none of them can be resisted by Li Qiong and the others.Do you still have to doubt it?The truth is true, Lu Zhi, a sinister and dirty thief, if he hadn't pretended to be calm and acted too much, the entire Huaixi Army would not even know how he died! Li Qiong and others have been relatives of officials and bandits for many years, and they have never obeyed the leader.What a leader is is just the person who takes the lead in doing things and is the first to share the spoils, such as Liu Guangshi in the past. At this time, they led people into Lu Zhi's big tent, accused, cursed, and mocked, and then the whole army set out to move towards the river.Lu Zhi was stunned. He knew what mutiny was, but it was another matter to practice it himself. He didn't wake up until he was about to leave Huainan West Road. Where was he going? Crossing the Yangtze River and surrendering to the puppet Qi, this is treason! 吕祉重新鼓起勇气,跳下马斥责郦琼,激励全军,要大家分清楚什么是英雄、什么是叛贼,如果去投奔刘豫,就是做叛贼手下的叛贼,会骂名千载、后悔莫及……郦琼一刀就砍了他。 原南宋行营左护军近四万士兵,以及六万多家眷、百姓一起投靠伪齐,史称“淮西之变”。事发时是宋绍兴七年(公元1137年)八月八日。 消息传进临安,南宋举国震惊。五大军区之一突然间全空了,竟然全军叛变,这是宋朝前所未有的事,哪怕遍查中国历史,也找不出几回。 赵构急火攻心、懊悔无及,这是他的家底,是他安身立命的东西。他容易吗?当年急慌慌地逃到江南,被女真人万里追杀,几乎身葬大海,都是因为没有兵。这些年,他节衣缩食住小房,忍辱负重装孙子,才攒出几支军队来,居然一下子丢了五分之一。 这是投敌叛变,里外叠加的损失是翻倍计算的,所以,赵构无论如何也没法接受。 赵构派人用最快的速度传令岳飞,要他给郦琼写信。只要郦琼肯回头,就当一切没有发生过,回国之后,升官、奖钱,要什么给什么。 算他有自知之明,岳飞这时的面子,是谁都要给的。郦琼在叛逃的路上不仅看了信,还写了封回信。在信里,他把南宋君臣上下均匀地鄙视了一遍,说他和刘豫情投意合、非常有缘。岳哥,你就别拦着了,给兄弟点祝福。 岳飞恨不得亲手砍了他,淮西哗变不只是南宋丢了四万多军队那么简单,五大军区之一空了,全盘形势瞬间改变,南宋再也没有进攻的资本了,岳飞想北伐,只能再等机会。而机会……等到军队再次强大了,所谓的条件成熟了,那会是哪一年的事呢? 岳飞很苦闷,本是一件天大的好事,为什么会走到这一步?这个疑问让南宋举国沸腾,每个人都怒不可遏。答案是清晰的,所有的错都集中在一个人的身上——张浚! 这个不知所谓的人,被猪油蒙了心。本来是一件再简单不过的事,之前为了拿下左护军,皇帝亲自出面,再让最强将军亲身莅临,去压服那帮兵痞;可张浚居然派去了一个只知道到处宣扬理想的书生……两者对比,傻子都知道会出事! 张浚白痴到了何等程度,真是个谜! 南宋基层人民的评价就不用说了,引用御史台长官的一段弹劾词吧。我个人认为那段话真是说得既到位,又淋漓尽致,还非常解恨。 “……浚轻而寡谋,愚而自用。德不足以服人,而唯恃其权;诚不足以用众,而专任其数。若喜而怒,若怒而喜,虽本无疑贰者,皆使有疑贰之心。予而复夺,夺而复予;虽本无怨望者,皆使有怨望之意。无事,则张威恃势,使上下有睽隔之情;有急,则甘言美辞,使将士有轻侮之意。” 以上,正是张浚的写真集。 关于张浚的处分决定很快就下来了。赵构亲自下令,解除张浚一切职务,降为散官,流放岭南。从力度上讲,这是仅次于杀头的重罚了。 心比天高的“第一人”阁下,万丈高楼一脚踏空,掉到了泥坑里。并且,他在赵构的心里深深烙上了一个印记——永不复用! 富平决战、淮西兵变,这两件事都是足以决定国家命运的悲剧,居然连续发生在同一个人的身上。除了这个人本身太愚蠢之外,用这个人的领导又是怎么回事? 赵构恨不得用自己的脑袋去撞墙,为啥自己就发了昏,看不清这个绝世蠢货呢?恨归恨,临行前,赵构还是把张浚单独召进了皇宫,咨询了一下行政问题。 “张浚,你看谁来接替你的位置好呢?” 赵构真的成熟了,他能忍住怒火,理智地做每一件事。张浚虽然不分好坏人,但只要有能力,他就能认出来。 张浚不说话。 赵构继续问:“秦桧如何?” 张浚差点气哭了,这个阴险狡诈、背后捅刀的东西!他悲愤地说:“我之前不了解他,共事了一段时间后,才知道这人真是太黑了。” 赵构若有所思,点了点头,那就选赵鼎吧,他还算有经验。张浚同意。于是,赵构给了他最后一个任务,由他执笔,去都堂写赵鼎的拜相制。 当天深夜,张浚端坐在都堂里,一笔一画地写着关于赵鼎的赞美诗。拜相制嘛,一定要花团锦簇、歌功颂德,要不是帝国最有才有德的人,怎么能当上帝国首相呢?这样写着,张浚的心像刀割一样疼。他明白,这是赵构给他的惩罚之一。 你不是要官吗?就由你亲手写别人上位的诏书,以最近的距离看别人得到你所失去的! 不过,在这种销魂时刻,张浚的心态还是很平稳的,因为他的身边还有一个人。这人睁着一双诚挚、无邪的大眼睛,非常崇敬地望着张浚,嘴里不断吐出轻柔、恭维的话语,仿佛面对的还是帝国最高行政长官。 秦桧。
