Chapter 40 9. Afraid of wolves and tigers

The Liao Kingdom always lost battles with the Jurchens. Yelu Yanxi, the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was very angry when he heard that Jurchen was founded, so he personally led an army of 700,000 to conquer Jurchen.Of course, the 700,000 is also fictitious. It is estimated that there should be 200,000 to 300,000 people, and there should be 10,000 to 20,000 Jurchen.The two armies fought fiercely in Huanglong Mansion. Today's Jilin Nong'an, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi led only a few dozen cavalry to flee the battlefield, and basically the entire army was wiped out.Because there are not many Khitan people in his army, mainly Bohai people and Han people. Bohai people think that they are of the same family as Jurchen, and they came from Mohe, so they are unwilling to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, and Song people are even more unwilling to fight for the Liao people. , As a result, the Liao army was defeated.

Liao was defeated and Song was very happy. You have today, you kid, you always bully me, you always extort money from me, the New Year's coin has risen to 500,000 by now, you want so many New Year's coins, you are out of luck now!So Song Huizong sent envoys across the sea and signed a maritime alliance with Jin in the territory of Jin, saying that we will join forces to deal with Liao. After the Liao is destroyed, I will take back the sixteen states of Youyun. .Of course Jin was very happy when he heard this, and he got a lot of money for nothing.Who knows where this Youyun Sixteen States is?Anyway, it's not my land, you can take it back if you take back Youyun Sixteen States, if you give me the money, I can still get help from the great powers of the Central Plains, this matter can be done.Jin knew that Song was a big country, stronger than Liao, and of course, except for military power, it was indeed stronger than Liao.He didn't know how corrupt and weak the Song Dynasty was, so he thought it was good, agreed, and the two sides made an appointment to fight Liao.As a result, as soon as the fight broke out, the performance of the Northern Song Dynasty responded to the words of the common people, showing how big the face was and how big the eyes were.Liao is the five capitals. Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing is Bahrain Left Banner in Inner Mongolia, Dading Mansion in Zhongjing is Ningcheng in Inner Mongolia, and Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo is occupied by the Jin Army. Datong Mansion in Xijing is Datong in Shanxi, and Xijin Mansion in Nanjing is Beijing. , it happened to be in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, so you Song Dynasty occupied these two.It was agreed to send troops together, but the date of sending troops in the Song Dynasty was delayed again and again.He couldn't get all the men together, and just got together the soldiers, Fang La rebelled in the south, and the army had to suppress Fang La.So Jin Guo looked at it, why do you keep breaking the contract, do you mean what you say?The Jin army was so powerful that they occupied the three capitals of the Liao Dynasty. They couldn't help but also occupied Xijing, and they fought at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. They just waited to see how the Song Dynasty would attack Nanjing.The Song Dynasty finally sent out troops this time. An army of 150,000 attacked Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty. The commander was the eunuch Tong Guan, a privy envoy, and an eunuch and eunuch led the army.The Liao army in Nanjing has more than 10,000 people. When you see the Song army, you will become angry. You dare to bully me with the same hatred?I can't beat Guan Zhang, and I can't beat Liu Bei?So the Liao army launched a surprise attack, and the 150,000 Song army was defeated for 300 miles.That is to say, the Liao Kingdom didn't want to completely tear themselves apart from the Song Dynasty, so they stopped chasing after a while.

The Song army retreated to the territory, and then reorganized the army, and 150,000 people came again.The Liao State sent envoys to talk to the Song Dynasty. Can you beat me?Song said it seemed enough.Liao said you can't even beat me, so is it good for someone stronger than me to be next to you?Looking at it now, it should be the two of us working together to deal with him. How can you cooperate with him to deal with me? This is an unrighteous act.He is my courtier, he rebelled, can the rebellious courtiers not suppress it?Tong Guan said that our Great Song Emperor has already made up his mind, so get the hell out of here, I won't listen to you.The envoy of the Liao Kingdom stood in the courtyard and cried: "The two countries, the Liao and Song Dynasties, have been reconciled for a hundred years. The oath of the covenant is written in every word. You can deceive the country, but not the sky." After returning, they reported that 7000 Liao troops took advantage of the night to rob In the battalion, the 150,000 Song army was defeated for another 300 miles. Since Emperor Shenzong, the accumulation of the dynasty has been wiped out.Moreover, he brought a lot of gold and silver treasures with him, planning to reward people after recovering Youyun Sixteen States, but all the gold and silver treasures were seized.

When the Northern Song Dynasty saw the situation, he said to Jin, can I trouble you to fight for me?Our emperor has the virtue of being good at life, I don't want to kill people, so why don't you help me.People in the Kingdom of Jin have long understood that you can do nothing but practice your mouth.The Jin army immediately crossed Yanshan Mountain and attacked Nanjing. The Liao army saw the Jin army coming to attack, and surrendered without resistance. The Song Dynasty beat me and I will fight with you. The first time 10,000 broke 150,000, and the second time I 7,000 broke 15 Wan, when the Jin people come, it will be the other way around. He can kill me a hundred, so don't resist Kaesong's surrender.

Seeing that Nanjing had been captured, Tong Guan asked Jin Guo if he could give it back to me, please help me fight it, can you give it back to me?Jin Guo said to take 1 million ransom fees.So the Northern Song Dynasty collected another 1 million redemption fees and handed it over to Jin, so that the six states of Yanjing were finally taken back.It’s almost enough to come back from the six states around Beijing. Don’t think about it in Xijing, I won’t even talk to you. Why should I give it to you?The key is that in this war, the Northern Song Dynasty showed its weakness to the fullest. The Jin Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty jointly attacked the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty fell in 1125 AD. From the founding of Taizu Yelu Abaoji in 916, to 1125 when the Liao Dynasty destroyed the country and enjoyed the country for 210 years, nine generations of emperors have been passed down.

After the demise of the Liao Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin began to fight against the Song Dynasty in the next step. During the war with the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty exposed its weakness to the fullest. I am just incompetent.Moreover, the Song Dynasty did all kinds of things, and the two sides made an agreement that after we destroyed the Liao Dynasty, we would each guard our borders and not allow surrender or rebellion. The residents of Youyun Sixteen States are mainly Han Chinese, so these Han people are unwilling to be ruled by Jin.Liao was much more civilized than Jin. At any rate, Liao had been Sinicized. Jin was basically a barbarian who carved wood and tied ropes. Therefore, the Han people did not want to be ruled by him, so they all ran to the Song Dynasty.But this is not allowed. The two parties agreed that no one is allowed to recruit and surrender.

What happened in the Song Dynasty?I will accept it when you come, and I will send it back to you as soon as Jin Guo wants it. The result of this is that your weakness is more obvious, and the Han people in Youyun Sixteen States are all disappointed. They thought I came to the motherland, the motherland He would protect me, but as a result, the Jin people would send them back as soon as they asked for them. They wanted people to give people, and they wanted their heads for their heads. When the Northern Song Dynasty recaptured Youyun Sixteen States, it was said that "remember the suffering of the old people and restore the former borders of China", but the former borders of China were not recovered, and you don't care about the misery of the old people.At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Jin marched southward in two ways, one out of Xijing Yunzhong, the other out of Yanjing, they were devastated, and soon reached Tokyo.At that time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was Song Huizong, a famous calligrapher, painter, poet, and connoisseur of cultural relics in Chinese history.This man is perfect in every aspect except that he is not suitable to be an emperor. Now that his paintings are put up for auction, each painting costs more than 60 million RMB. I don't know if it is really worth that much money.His artistic achievements are remarkable. He has a future in everything, but he can't be the emperor. So when the people from the Kingdom of Jin called him, his first reaction was to run away.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty sent a minister to Li Ye to go to Jinying to see the real situation. After Li Ye came back, he said that in the Kingdom of Jin, "people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, going up the mountain like apes, entering the water like otters, its power is like Mount Tai, and China is in danger." Egg." If we can't beat them, we must be finished.When Song Huizong heard that this was too powerful, he passed the throne to his son Song Qinzong.His son came to the throne after cursing his mother and crying and passed out, and he forcibly put a yellow robe on his body.With a yellow robe added to your body, you are not filial if you don't ascend the throne.Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty said that when I went to Zhenjiang, the White Lady, Xu Xian, tolled the bell to pray for the long-term peace and stability of the country.The son said you are talking nonsense, Kaifeng can not recite scriptures?You have to go there to chant scriptures.Song Huizong ran away with his people, and Song Qinzong had no choice but to take over the mess and defend Kaifeng, and repelled the Jin soldiers' attack under the leadership of Li Gang.The people of the Kingdom of Jin saw that after all, the city of Bianjing was tall and vast, and millions of soldiers and civilians were not so easy to fight.So the people of the Kingdom of Jin put down their words, that’s fine, I’ll spare you, but I have a condition, you have to reimburse my military expenses, I’ve come here once, you can’t come in vain, you have to give me 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 cows and horses, and then ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan, and took the prime minister and prince as hostages, and then I withdrew my troops.

Where to collect so much money, the Song Dynasty immediately began to search for the money everywhere, and sent it to the prime minister and prince as a hostage.Then the cession of the three towns was also in full swing, and the Jin army withdrew.As soon as the Jin army retreated, Song Huizong came back. You see, my chanting works, it works.Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, Jin Guo people went south again and came again, because you didn't pay all the money.But if you smashed the Song Dynasty and sold the 5 million taels of gold, you wouldn’t be able to collect so much money. He didn’t cut it in the three towns, because the residents of the three towns opposed it to the death.So the Jin army went south again, and the troops were divided into two groups to attack the capital of the Song Dynasty and hit the Yellow River.

There were tens of thousands of Jin troops crossing the Yellow River, and 140,000 Song troops guarding the river. The Jin people tied the sheep to the pillars, let the legs of the sheep beat the war drums, and beat the war drums all night, making a posture of crossing the river.The next day, the people of the Kingdom of Jin saw that none of the 140,000 Song troops had run away, so the people of the Kingdom of Jin used small boats to transport troops across the river. Yellow River.The commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Jin, Wan Yanwoli, was triumphant, "It can be said that there is no one in the Southern Dynasty. If one or two thousand people guard this place, how can we be so calm." With one or two thousand people standing guard and shooting two arrows, I would not be so easy. Come here just like a self-driving tour, and enter Bianliang, Tokyo.
