A month after the Taiyuan Defense War began, Cao Guangbi was completely sure that he would be able to hold Hedong, and later he became more and more comfortable with the fighting, and the large terrain used by Hedong to spread strategy and the small terrain used by Taiyuan to display tactics were simply prepared for commanders like him who were good at defense, and some of his generals even became addicted to this defensive battle. After the Taiyuan defense battle entered the second month, most of the civil and military generals in Hedong had already developed a relatively unified view: Taiyuan and Hedong actually seemed to be in danger.

In the eyes of outsiders who have not received accurate information, the war between the Jin army and the Han army in the Hedong area is really cruel and abnormal, and the outcome is unpredictable. While concentrating its forces to attack Hedong, the Jin army did not forget to send rangers to sweep the eastern part of Hebei, which had not yet been completely subjugated, and broke into Shandong and Henan, and some cavalry even broke through to the Huai River Valley! Therefore, the Southern Song court, which had both incomplete and somewhat slow information, did not have an accurate grasp of the development of the war situation in the north. Many people are not only afraid of the Jin people's prestige, but also see the recent rampant Jin people in Henan, Shandong, and Huaibei, and they are inclined to think that the Han people are already in danger under the blow of the Jin people, and once the Han people are overthrown, the Southern Song Dynasty court may have to face a big crisis. Even Zhao Gou was a little worried about whether he would go too far with the Han Ministry this time - we, the "Lord of Zhongxing" who likes to be the emperor, actually did not want the Han Ministry to perish, all he wanted was a balanced situation, a situation in which the Han Ministry could resist the Hu people for him.

"Why hasn't Hanbu come to sue for peace yet?" Zhao Gou's rule in the south was not very consolidated, and after the troops led by Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others were transferred to Henan and Shandong, Jiangnan seemed quite empty. In fact, Zhao Gou did not dare to order Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others to persecute the Han tribe's territory in Shandong too much, because even if he obtained these places, he would not be able to effectively rule them for the time being, so Liu, Zhang and others had been going in and out of the temporary frontier line of the Han and Song dynasties, and this threat of "a false shot" was not much better than Zhang Junzhi's "patrol of the Yellow River".

"Qin Qing's family, when do you think the peace envoy of the Han Department will arrive?"

On this day, Zhao Gou was talking secretly with Qin Hui in the side hall, and suddenly the eunuch hurriedly ran in and handed over the battle report of the outer court, and Zhao Gou's face changed as soon as he opened it: The Han Department is here, and the Han Department is really here, but it is not to ask for peace, but to raise troops to ask for guilt!

At the end of the spring of 1681, Ouyang Shida set up Zhoushan, Liuqiu water and land soldiers and horses marched eastward, and Liuqiu amphibious soldiers and horses with 1,500 people as a team, respectively, invaded Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Yuezhou, Dinghai and other coastal prefectures and counties, while his headquarters Zhoushan water division drove to Chongming Island, with vehicles and boats plus eight-sided wind control sail technology, zigzag sailing technology against the Yangtze River, straight to Jiankang! Within a few days, Jiangdong was in an emergency.

Han Shizhong, who was responsible for guarding Huaiyang, was the first to receive the news and tried to intercept Ouyang Shi in the Jiangyin section, Taixing section, and Yangzhou section.

However, at this time, the shipbuilding technology of the Han Dynasty has developed rapidly for nearly ten years on the basis of inheriting the shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty, and the construction of the naval division after Zhao Gou came to Jiangnan is the first imaginary enemy of the anti-Jin people. In the past ten years, the actual combat experience accumulated by the Han naval division in fighting pirates and occupying islands is far from being comparable to that of the Song army, which changed the naval division into the army and the army into a naval division in order to cope with the war situation.

The Han Army's naval division is half a grade higher than the Song Army's naval division in terms of technical level, combat skills, training level, and actual combat experience, and this strength gap makes it difficult for Han Shizhong to make up for it with tactical and command advantages, not to mention that his opponent Ouyang Shi is a veteran of water battles, and his water tactics and command level are even stronger than Han Shizhong at this time.

Therefore, this time Ouyang Shi's invasion of Jiangdong was almost like a hundred miles into a no-man's land, and the Song army's urgent documents were not much faster than those of the Han naval division, and it was usually not long before the news of the fall of the previous stronghold arrived, and the big ships of the Han Department also followed. Ouyang Shi used this speed to break through the thirteen strongholds of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Yangtze River section in a row, easily cleared the fortifications of the Jiangyin section and the Zhenjiang section, and cracked Han Shizhong's attack with fireboats down the river from the river. When Zhao Gou received the news, Ouyang Shi's forward car and ship had already forced to the vicinity of Yangzhou, and the trip between Yangzhou and the Southern Song Dynasty court was already the distance between morning and evening in Jiankang, so you can imagine how shocked the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were after hearing the news! Because although the temporary line in Jiankang is a famous city, it is on the edge of the Yangtze River! Although it is not yet known whether Ouyang Shi's sailors can go ashore to attack the city, Zhao Gou does not dare to take this risk!

"Your Majesty! Move quickly to avoid the enemy! ”

Is this still up to you? Zhao Gou was ready to flee long before the minister played, anyway, it was not the first time that he escaped all the way, and this Jiankang Xing's position as a temporary capital was not very consolidated, and there was not much burden to escape.

But where do you run away?

The first way is to flee to the inland in the south, Jiangdong is now full of beacons, although the water and land troops of Liuqiu are only harassing the coast, but Zhao Gou still feels unsafe, so he can only go to Jiangxi. The second is to flee to Huguang, where the left with Sichuan and Shaanxi, the right to control the Jianghuai, is an excellent strategic location, whether it is from the Han Department of the East China Sea or from the Jin army of Yanyun has a considerable distance, the original enterprising generals have suggested that Zhao Gou will move there, at that time Zhao Gou was in Jiangnan did not consider, now Jiangnan is not reliable, Huguang's reliability quickly highlighted.

After some consideration, Zhao Gou decided to flee to Wuchang immediately. However, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not alone! Just when Zhao Gou was about to leave the city, there was also a warning signal from the west: Zhong Xiang, a native of Dingzhou, was making trouble in Huguang and proclaimed himself the king of Chu.

It turned out that after the Jin front retreated northward, Dr. Wujing and Weizhou regimental training made Kong Yanzhou collect defeated troops in Huaixi, invade Jingnan, Ding, and Li counties, and Jingnan was in chaos.

Zhong Xiang, who grew up in Dingzhou, began to use folk religion to attract believers many years ago, and was extremely powerful in neighboring states and counties. Zhong Xiang called himself the Great Sage, saying that he had a god who could communicate with the heavens and save people from illness. At that time, it was the chaotic times of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the people lived hard, and they were moved by what they said. In this way, for more than 20 years, Zhong Xiang was able to gather great wealth. And the Huxiang rebellion, Zhong Xiang and the believers gathered for self-defense, known as the loyal militia, scholars and doctors to avoid chaos to rely on, so Zhong Xiang got some political ability, strategic ability of talents, and slowly produced a program, to the effect: "The law divides the rich and the poor, and the law is not good." I practice the law, and I should be equal to the rich and the poor, both rich and poor. With this program, the peasants were admired for hundreds of miles.

When Kong Yanzhou entered Lizhou, Zhong Xiang was disturbed by human feelings, and gathered to train troops in the name of preparing for Kong Yanzhou, and the people of Ding, Li, and Jingnan responded when they heard the news. Zhong Xiang's activities were still within the tolerance range of the Southern Song Dynasty court at the beginning, but recently the situation has become more and more intense, Zhong Xiang actually took advantage of the chaos to proclaim himself the king of Chu, changed the Yuan Tianzai, set up the queen and the crown prince, moved the holy decree, and made up for the use of Huang Xuan, Huguang was in an uproar, from Dingzhou's Wuling, Taoyuan, Chenyang, Yuanjiang, Lizhou's Liyang, Anxiang, Shimen, Cili, Jingnan's Zhijiang, Songzi, Gong'an, Shishou, Tanzhou's Yiyang, Ningxiang, Xiangyin, Jianghua, Xiazhou's Yidu, Yuezhou's Huarong, Chenzhou's Yuanling, all nineteen counties, are all owned by Zhong Xiang. It turned out that the small turmoil that the Southern Song Dynasty court didn't pay much attention to turned out to be a huge change at this moment.

After hearing this news, where did Zhao Gou dare to go to the two lakes? But Ouyang Shi was behind him, so he had no choice but to change his direction temporarily and go to Jiangxi. At the same time, an edict was issued, and the troops transferred into Shandong went south to resist Ouyang Shi, and the troops transferred into Henan went south to extinguish Zhong Xiang, and sent envoys to Ouyang Shi's army to express their willingness to claim peace with the ministers. These edicts were sent to Zhao Gou while fleeing, and when they were done, they had sent people to send them out, and their people had arrived at the west gate of Jiankang, when suddenly a eunuch standing at the head of the city shouted: "It seems that a ship is coming." ”

The boat was actually sent by Han Shizhong to report the news, but Zhao Gou was so frightened that he boarded the car and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, go away!" ”

The ministers either cried and stopped, or hurriedly followed, Qin Hui ran to the car to ask to see, Zhao Gou saw him, and was very displeased: "The Qing family misunderstood me, as soon as I was concerned!" ”

Qin Hui kowtowed and said: "The Han Department will be so presumptuous, it is really unexpected!" ”

Zhao Gou said angrily: "I didn't expect it, but now it's too late to regret it!" ”

Qin Hui hurriedly said: "Please guard the Jiankang for Your Majesty!" The minister swore to the sky that he would not let the Han Navy Master take a step beyond Jiankang! ”

Zhao Gou snorted: "Can you keep it?" ”

Qin Hui said: "It's not difficult to defend the city, but it's not easy to protect the community!" If the minister can make the Han army withdraw and make peace, I don't know what law needs to be followed? ”

Zhao Gou was afraid that Ouyang Shi would chase after him, so he just wanted to run away quickly, and waved his hand: "As long as I can keep me, then I can say anything!" After saying that, he urged the coachman to hurry up.

The coachman raised his whip, the wheels turned, Qin Hui hurriedly got up and said while chasing the car: "Your Majesty, you haven't appointed a minister to stay behind!" ”

Zhao Gou passed on the order in the car, with Qin Hui as the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, Jiankang stayed behind, and the military department was still in charge, and he was fully responsible for Jiankang's defense and negotiations with the Han Ministry.

The carriage and horses were getting faster and faster, and Qin Hui was panting after running behind, but fortunately, after the experience of moving north, he had the physical strength to support him after listening to Zhao Gou's appointment.
