Chapter 311: Fierce Battle Huang Tiandang
When the war between the Song and Jin countries broke out, Jin Wushu went on an expedition with the army, and he was restrained by Wanyan Zongwang, who sent Jin Wuxuan to attack Tangyin County and surrendered more than 3,000 Song defenders. When attacking the Yellow River, in the face of the fact that the Song army had burned the pontoon bridge and the Jin army could not cross the river, the Jin army general Helusuo led 70 cavalry to wade through shallow water and cross the river, killing 500 Song army burning bridges.
Wanyan Zong Wang first sent an envoy Wu Xiaomin into Bianjing City to inquire why the Song State violated the covenant, and then Jin Wushu led three thousand light cavalry to threaten Kaifeng Mansion, and heard that Song Huizong was so frightened that he fled from Kaifeng Mansion, Jin Wushu led a hundred horsemen to chase after him, but did not catch up, and obtained three thousand good horses. The Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Song State promised to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian to the Jin State as a condition for peace, and the Jin army returned to Yanjing.
In August of the same year, Jin Wushu once again went south with the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongwang. In April of the following year, the Jin army captured Kaifeng Mansion, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong surrendered, the shame of Jingkang occurred, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Wanyan Zongwang died of illness, and Wanyan Zongfu succeeded him as the right deputy marshal, and Zongfu was ordered to pacify the anti-Jin armed forces of the Song State in Dingzi and Qingzhou.
Jin Wushu first defeated tens of thousands of Song troops of the Song general Zheng Zongmeng in Qingzhou, and then defeated the Huang Qiong army led by the Song general Zhao Cheng in Linqu City and captured Linqu. When Yan Zongfu returned to the army, he was attacked by 30,000 Song troops in Qinghe, and Jin Wushu took the lead and killed more than 10,000 Song troops.
Jin Taizong issued an edict to pursue Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, who fled in Yangzhou, Jin Wushu led the troops to the south with Zong's auxiliary army, and Jin Wushu first attacked Defu, but because of insufficient logistics supply, he turned to Puzhou. The vanguard of the Jin army, Wulintatai, wanted to break the 200,000 army of Wang Shan of the Song army, but Puzhou was immediately captured by the Jin army, and by the way, five nearby county towns were surrendered. When capturing Kaide Mansion, Jin Wushu personally led the troops to attack the city, the Song army was afraid of his bravery, Kaide Mansion was captured by the Jin army, Jin Wushu used the same method to capture the Daimyo's Mansion, so the Jin army pacified Hebei.
Song Gaozong crossed the Yangtze River from Yangzhou and fled to Jiangnan, Jin Wushu divided his troops to pursue, attacked Guide, and the Jin army's forward Haiduo defeated the Song army that came out from the west gate to challenge. So they surrounded the roads in Guide and other places, put artillery on the moats, and threatened to attack the city, and the soldiers and civilians of Guide were greatly frightened and surrendered the city. Then Jin Wushu sent Ali and Puluhun to lead the troops to Shouchun, Jin Wuxuan led the rear army to follow, and when the Jin soldiers came to Shouchun, Song pacified Ma Shiyuan and led the officials out of the city gate to surrender, and the Jin army forced Luzhou and Chao County to surrender.
The Jin army led by Jin Wushu went all the way south, until it reached the north bank of the Yangtze River, the vanguard of the Jin Wushu army defeated Li Qiong's 10,000 Song troops in Hezhou, and occupied Hezhou.
In the place 20 miles west of Jiankang, the Song general Du Chong led 60,000 infantry to fight, and the Jin generals Lu Bu, Danghai, Di Hu, Da Luan and others carried out a joint attack to break through, and the Song general Chen Bangguang led Jiangning Mansion to surrender.
Jin Wushu left Chang'an Nu and Huli to defend Jiangning, and sent Alu Bu and Huli Yebei to capture Taipingzhou, Haozhou, Jurong, Liyang and other counties, traced the river to the west, repeatedly defeated Zhang Yong and other soldiers, and forced Du Chong to surrender. Jin Wuzong personally led the army to pursue Song Gaozong, successively captured Huzhou, approached the Song capital Lin'an, Song Gaozong heard that Lin'an did not defend, panicked and fled to Mingzhou, Jin Wushu entered and occupied Lin'an, and sent Ali and Pu Luhun to lead 4,000 elite soldiers to pursue.
Jin generals Lu Bu and Shulie quickly captured Yuezhou, defeated the Song general Zhou Wangjun, Jin generals Ali and Pu Luhun broke 3,000 Song soldiers, crossed the Cao'e River, and broke the Song soldiers at a distance of 25 miles from Mingzhou, and chased them to the city of Mingzhou. The defenders of the city sent troops and were defeated, and Song Gaozong went to sea from Mingzhou, and soon the Jin army captured Mingzhou.
Jin generals Ali and Puluhun crossed the sea to Changguo County in the Zhoushan Islands, captured Zhao Boge, the guard general of Song Ming Prefecture, and interrogated Zhao Boge, and learned that Song Gaozong had run to the sea near Wenzhou, and he was going to run from Wenzhou to Fuzhou. The Jin army then went into the sea to pursue, but the Jin army ran for a long time, the logistics supply was not available, and the Jin army was not accustomed to water warfare.
Liang Hongyu is Han Shizhong's concubine, and Han Shizhong was a famous general in the Two Song Dynasty, and together with Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi, he is known as the four generals of Zhongxing.
The famous battle - fierce battle Huang Tiandang, the Southern Song Dynasty civil strife, just gave the Jin army an opportunity, the Jin army has robbed half of the country is about to attack Jiankang Mansion, the Jin army under the leadership of Jin Wuxuan drove straight in, into Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The only way for Song Gaozong to deal with it was to escape, first from Hangzhou to Mingzhou, and then from Mingzhou to the sea. Fortunately, the Jin army and navy could not do it, so that Gaozong barely saved his life, the next year the Jin army attacked Mingzhou, Zhao Gou fled to Wenzhou by boat, the Jin army chased after him, fortunately Zhang Gongyu, the general of the Southern Song Dynasty naval army, led the troops to block the sea near Taizhou, so that Gaozong was spared.
At this time, the soldiers and civilians from all over the south of the Yangtze River gathered in the cottages and water villages everywhere to attack the Jin army, so that the Jin army was threatened everywhere, and the Jin army was forced to retreat north in February after wantonly plundering. Hearing that the Jin army had retreated from Lin'an to Zhenjiang via Wujiang and Pingjiang, Han Shizhong urgently led 8,000 sailors to Zhenjiang first and intercepted the Jin army between Jiaoshan and Jinshan. Jin Wushu went to the Longwang Temple in Jinshan in Zhenjiang by night to reconnoitre, and was almost captured by Han Shizhong's ambush soldiers.
After that, the two sides launched a fierce battle on the Yangtze River, and Han Shizhong's wife Liang Hongyu personally beat drums and cheered, which greatly boosted morale and severely defeated the Jin army. Jin Wushu was willing to return the looted property and pretend to return to the north, but was rejected by Han Shizhong's righteous and stern words, the Jin army traced the river, Han Shizhong led the army to pursue along the river, and fought and walked, forcing the Jin army into the dead port Huang Tiandang, there was no way to advance or retreat, the Jin army ordered the supervision army to send troops to rescue Wanyanchang, but was also blocked by Han Shizhong.
Under the resistance of the Song army, the Jin army entered the Huang Tiandang, where the river was blocked, and there was no way to advance, and the retreat was blocked for forty days. The two sides fought and walked on the Yangtze River, and the Jin army was not familiar with geography and was forced into the dead port of Huang Tiandang by the Song army.
At this time, it was the best time to eliminate the Jin army, but Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu's troops were too small, and there was no army to cooperate, so Jin Wuyu took the opportunity to dig through the old stork river that had been blocked for a long time for thirty miles, and retreated to Jiankang, and Jin Wuyu was blocked by the Yuejia army on the way to Jiankang.
The Jin army crossed the river from Jing'an Town and returned to the north, and set fire to Jiankang City when they returned north. Yue Fei set up an ambush in Niushou Mountain, Yue's army took stones on the spot, built fortifications, ambushed the Jin soldiers, after the victory of Niushou Mountain, the Yuejia army pursued by victory, expelled the Jin soldiers across the river, and recovered Jiankang. The Jin Wushu army was attacked by Song Yuefei's troops, and the Jin army suffered heavy losses, so it had to turn back to the Yangtze River and continue to cross north.
Although the fierce battle against Huang Tiandang ended up being defeated by Han Shizhong and returning to Zhenjiang, the Jin army broke through. However, strategically speaking, Han Shizhong was able to block the Jin soldiers for forty-eight days with absolutely weak troops, and the Jin soldiers did not dare to go south after going north, and the strategic goal of repelling the Jin soldiers had been achieved, which should be good.
However, after the defeat of the Jin soldiers, Liang Hongyu not only did not take credit for asking for rewards, but because the Jin soldiers broke through the river defense, Shangshu impeached her husband Han Shizhong for losing the opportunity to set up the enemy, and asked the court to add guilt. This righteous act made the whole country, everyone admired, and passed it on as a beautiful talk, and the court crowned her as Mrs. Yang Guo for this reason.
The battle of Huang Tiandang, several wins and one defeat. Among the anti-Jin generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong's loyalty and courage were unsurpassed, which was public opinion at that time. Zhang Jun, one of the four generals of Zhongxing, said: "Among the generals, Han Shizhong's loyalty and bravery, Yue Fei's Shen Ou, can be used for major events." ”
The word Shen Owl, Shen is deep, and Eagles is a fierce bird, representing bravery. Huang Tiandang's battle brought great reputation to Han Shizhong, and he knew that there were people in the country, and the world recited it.
Han Shizhong was appointed commander of the Wuning Anhua Military Region and was stationed in Chuzhou. Liang Hongyu led the soldiers with Han Shizhong to Huaishui as the boundary, and built a new city outside the old city to fight against the Jin soldiers. After the catastrophe of the war, Chuzhou was already full of thorns and hazelnuts at that time, and the soldiers and civilians had no food and no houses, and Liang Hongyu personally used reeds to weave cattails for houses.
When looking for wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, on the shore of Spoon Lake under Wentong Tower, he found that horses ate pampas stalks, so he tasted them himself, and mobilized the army and civilians to pick pampas stalks to satisfy their hunger. The Huai people eat Pu'er cabbage, which is said to have started from Liang Hongyu, so Pu'er is called anti-gold cabbage.
Because Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu and the soldiers worked together, shared the joys and hardships, and the soldiers were willing to serve, after painstaking management, Chuzhou regained its vitality and became an important town again. Han Shizhong was stationed in Chuzhou for more than ten years, with only 30,000 soldiers, and the Jin people did not dare to attack.
"Blue eyes know heroes, what is the suspicion of cold Su? I recall that in those days, the northern captives were Zhang, the drums were personally exercised, and half of the mountains and rivers were extended to Song Zuo; Look at the east wind on this day, the Chong Shrine is reorganized, and the reputation of the Thousand Autumns is admired?"
It shows that Liang Hongyu, a female general, is a spiritual idol at the head of the national crisis, she loves the country and kills the enemy, and she is the backbone of the nation.
In the Miao Liu Change, the thief will force Gaozong Zhao to issue an edict to change the Yuan, Zhang Jun, who was in Pingjiang at that time, knew about the internal change, and resolutely recruited the generals to fight the thief, which can be said to be the main planner of the rebellion. In order to be grateful to Zhang Jun, Gaozong Zhao Gou naturally treated him differently after the restoration and asked about the world's plans.
Zhang Jun said: "To revive the Great Song Dynasty, when starting from Guanzhong and Shaanzhou, the ministers are afraid that the Jin people will enter Shaanzhou first, and then attack Shuzhou, and once their land is lost, it will be difficult to preserve the southeast." ”
So Gaozong took Zhang Jun as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu, set up the shogunate in Qinzhou, sent Han Shizhong to guard Huaidong, and Lu Yihao to guard Wuchang, and soon sent the generals Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and Qinzhou Prime Minister to echo each other, this Zhang Jun is a military general, don't be confused with Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun is in Guangyuan to govern the army, in order to map the Central Plains.
Zhang Jun, whose name is Deyuan, is a native of Jinzhu, Hanzhou, and is a descendant of Zhang Jiuzhen, the younger brother of Zhang Jiuling, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty. During the Jingkang period, Zhang Junguan was a petty official of the Ministry of Rites such as Taichang Book, and when the news of Gaozong Zhao Gou's accession to the throne came, Zhang Jun escaped from Bianjing and was promoted to the imperial history of the middle servant by Gaozong, who was in urgent need of talents. So this Zhang Jun is different from that Zhang Jun, he is a complete Wenchen.
Although he is a civil servant, Zhang Jun is not soft at all. Before leaving, Fan Qiong, who was the general of the imperial camp Pingkou, rushed to Hangzhou from Yuzhang, arrogant and rude, and others did not dare to speak. This Fan Qiong has done a lot of bad things before, and he is indeed a fierce and domineering general who has milk and is a mother.
Gaozong's ministers have not freed up their hands to clean him up, with the soldiers in his hands and the exploits of the thieves. At this time, Fan Qiong was upset for Miao and Liu, Zhang Jun was sparse, and Gaozong finally made up his mind to arrest Fan Qiong and beat him to death with a big stick.
Of course, Zhang Jun also likes to talk big, on the day he said goodbye to Gaozong, he said to Gaozong: "As a minister, I am willing to clear the road first, and wait for His Majesty to return to the Central Plains immediately." And made an appointment with Gaozong to hold a drinking party at the Shangyuan Festival in Bianjing, and the monarch and ministers celebrated together.
After retreating, Yue Fei said to Zhang Jun: "Xianggong, you calculated the recovery so quickly, aren't you talking in a dream?" Zhang Jun was very unhappy when he heard it.
