Chapter 126: Factions
In the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, Jintianhui was on September 6, 8 years.
Press out of the left bank of the tiger water, Jin Guoning City. After the Jurchen leader Wanyan Aguda unified the Jurchen tribes, on January 28, the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty (1115 AD), he established a capital in Huining Mansion. Although the iron is strong, it will eventually deteriorate; But the gold remains the same; Then the country is called Dajin", and then the country is called Dajin.
Above the Qianyuan Hall in Ninghuang City, the gold lord Wanyan Wu Qimai was high up, with a big cake face blue and ugly, and he was coldly looking at the group of civil and military ministers sitting below.
It is said that it is a big hall, but in fact, it is a better house, and even the roof is built by willows and elms, which is extremely simple. Not to mention the imperial palace in Bianliang City, even compared with ordinary rich families, it is also much inferior.
Therefore, this Qianyuan Hall looks a little similar to the Zhongyi Hall of Shuibo Liangshan, with tables and chairs, which is quite simple, but the ironclad sergeants guarding around are murderous and full of anger, but they are all tigers and wolves, full of elite.
The Jin Dynasty was created in a hurry, not to mention the matter of etiquette and music. Wanyan Wu begged to buy his younger brother Wanyan Xianye and nephew Wanyan Zonggan to lead the national government, and Wanyan Zonghan, the son of the Jurchen nobleman and the minister of the state, and his nephew Wanyan Zongwang to lead the military. Although it also imitated the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty to establish a ceremonial system, it was always so incongruous.
Wanyan Xianye, Chen Ban Bo Jilie, the crown prince of the Dajin Kingdom, the younger brother of Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai, the Jurchen Liao and the supreme commander who besieged Bianliang twice, had a sallow face and a thin body, and was sitting on the side of the main hall at the moment, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Wanyan Zonghan, the first fierce general of the Jurchens and the commander of the Western Route Army, Wanyan Zonggan, the eldest son of Wanyan Wu, the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi, the Jurchen god of war Wanyan Lou, and the creator of the Jurchen script, Wanyan Xiyin, as well as the famous generals Wanyan Tart Lazy, Wanyan Yinshu Ke and other humerus ministers, gathered together.
Those who gave advice and worked hard for the Dajin Kingdom, Han Qixian, Zhang Tonggu, Han Fang, Gao Qingyi, Shi Liai and others, although they were like fish in water in civil affairs and even the imperial examination, they were far from being qualified to enter the circle of deciding national policies.
Over the years, the Jurchens can be said to be full of talents, invincible, destroying Liao and lifting the Song Dynasty, and everywhere the army goes, they are invincible, but while attacking cities and killing all sides, discordant voices are also coming one after another.
Needless to say, the resistance of the Song people. Although the Jin people destroyed the Liao State and controlled most of its territory, the women practiced slavery and shaved their hair to make it easy to wear, while the Song people mostly slaughtered or enslaved. Under the high-pressure killing, the resistance of the Song people, especially in the Lianghe Shandong area, caused a headache for the Jurchens.
The other is the eternal theme, that is, the power struggle between the Taizu and Taizong families within the Jurchen royal family.
For example, after the death of Wanyan Aguta, the younger brother Wanyan Wu begged to buy the throne, and after Wanyan Wu begged to buy the throne, he also listed the younger brother Wanyan Xian as the crown prince of the Dajin Kingdom.
Originally, there was nothing either. Wan Yan Xian also made great achievements, destroyed the Liao and Song Dynasty, and his prestige was extremely high, and among the nobles of the Jurchen tribe, his prestige was very high, and no one would challenge his status.
It's just that now Wan Yanxian is also seriously ill and has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, and the next crown prince has not decided. Although Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai grasped the government, his descendants, except for the eldest son Wanyan Zongpan, were not people who could take on important tasks.
On the other hand, Jin Taizu is full of talents. The son-in-law Wanyan Zonggan, the second son Wanyan Zongwang, the third son Wanyan Zongfu, the sixth son Wanyan Zongbi, and the rising Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zongqiang and others.
Fortunately, the Jurchen Left Marshal Wanyan Zongwang was ill
died, and the successor Wanyan Zongfu was beheaded by the Song people, which can be described as a big blow to the Taizu family. It also greatly increased the hope of Wanyan Wu begging to buy his son-in-law Wanyan Zongpan to succeed him.
The Jurchen ministers in the court are all human spirits, and they all represent the interests of various Jurchen tribes behind them.
Historically, in April of the tenth year of the Jin Kingdom Tianhui (1132 AD), Taizu sent the four heavenly kings: Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Xiyin to unite and force the palace to ask Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu to buy and set up the 13-year-old Taizu's eldest grandson, Wanyan Kang, as the next crown prince of Jin.
Wanyan Wu had no choice but to buy and set up the descendants of the Taizu line, but after his death, his descendants were killed by the Taizu line, and the incense was cut off.
Wanyan Zongpan, the eldest son of Wanyan Wu Qimai, was fully supported by Wanyan Chang (Tart Lai) and Wanyan Zongwang's younger brother Wanyan Zongjun. It's just that compared to the huge power of the Taizu family, it is a bit weak.
Since the first year of Jingkang, although the Jurchen iron cavalry has conquered everything in the Central Plains and is invincible, everything they go is erosive, and the Northern Song Dynasty is almost dead. However, in the past two years, there have been many defeats, and some battles have been extremely tragic, which has greatly damaged the morale of the Jurchen warriors.
In the second year of Jingkang, Jin Taizu's second son, Wanyan Zongwang, was seriously injured and died, and Jin Taizu's third prince, Wanyan Zongfu, led his troops south, but who knew that he died in a battle outside the Daimyo's mansion.
What's more, Jin Taizu's younger brother, Wanyan Yan's mother, and the Jurchen general Yelu Ma Wu were also cut off their heads, and a "Jingguan" was set up on the ruins of the city of Zhaozhou.
When it comes to these defeats, the first thing that comes to mind for these Jurchen chieftains is the word "Wang Song".
What these Jurchen royals and nobles did not expect was that this Wang Song also launched the so-called "summer offensive" and recovered a large area of lost territory in Hebei in one fell swoop. Even the barrier Shiling Pass and Chitang Pass in Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong were captured by the Song army one by one.
In this way, it may be even more difficult to go southeast through the river.
Now it is not as good as at the beginning, when there were still the royal family and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty to contain Wang Song, so that the Jurchens had a chance. Now Wang Song is dictatorial, and if the Jurchen army wants to go south, it can only fight with the loyal army.
Wanyan Zonghan's beard is unshaven, his face is thin, and his fierce eyes are also gloomy at this moment. Compared with the previous years, the spirit is flying and incomparable, and it is no longer the same.
The Jurchen army went south, but his two beloved sons, Wanyan Shehe and Ma and Wanyan Xianbao, were killed one after another. Although he still has two young grandchildren alive, the grief of the middle-aged mulberry is still difficult for him to accept in a short time.
After a violent cough, Wan Yan finally straightened up. Wanyan Wu Qimai hurriedly bent down and asked with concern: "Lean, does it matter, do you want to go back and rest?"
Xian also shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, let's hurry up and discuss politics."
The Jurchen deliberations are extremely simple, they were originally sitting on the ground and drawing dust to discuss matters. After the destruction of Liao, the discussion of state affairs was a little more formal, but it was also a discussion of affairs, which was quite like a simple version of the "round table".
Wanyan Wu Qimai sat up straight, his eyes were cold, he glanced at the people present, and the expression on his face was solemn.
"This time, our army went south, which can be regarded as invincible and invincible. But only in this Hebei Province, several important ministers of the royal family, Yan Mu and Yan Liduo were beheaded by the Song people, and fierce generals such as Ma Wu and Xianbao were also broken. Tell me, what's going on, what's the best way to do it?"
Wanyan Yan's mother is Wanyan Wu's younger brother, so he is naturally a little sad. But Wanyan Sosuke is the backbone of the Taizu line
For one, whether he is really sad or fake sad, then it is unknown.
"Your Majesty, the two battles of my Dajin are related to Wang Song of the Song Kingdom. This thief is good at raid warfare, and the firearms he made are very sharp, so Yan Mu and Yan Li Duo fell in Hebei. In my opinion, if this thief is not removed, it will be a great trouble for my Dajin!"
Wanyan Zonggan deserves to be the head of the imperial family's think tank, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was concise and to the point, naming the key points of the current battlefield.
Wanyan Zonghan's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said fiercely: "Wang Song, this thief, I will kill him!"
"Sticky Han, you have to mourn, don't be too sad and miss a big thing."
Wanyan Wu Qimai frowned. These important ministers of the royal family are sometimes too arrogant and simply don't take him as an emperor in their eyes.
"Wang Song, this thief, his strength is indeed extraordinary. This person took advantage of the summer heat to even Ke Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and the three towns of the Northland. I wonder if this person can be recruited? If I can, I will be in trouble, and it is okay to make him a "King of Song"!"
Wan Yan Xian also praised softly: "Your Majesty is right. Just looking at Wang Song's consistent behavior, I'm afraid it will be difficult to surrender. If this is the case, the only way to do this is to send troops to conscript. ”
Everyone knows that Wang Song and the Jurchens are incompatible, and the two armies are at war and never show mercy. It is very unlikely that it will be persuaded to surrender.
Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have a good idea, but this Wang Song is stinky and hard, and it is impossible to surrender to our dynasty." Otherwise, he would not have cut off the heads of Jamu and Zarida and piled them up outside the city to demonstrate to the world. This is obviously a provocation to our Dajin Kingdom!"
Wanyan Lou Room frowned and said, "The Song people regard Wang Song as a hero!" This thief is in Yangjiagou, Fuzhou, and would rather die to the last person than surrender to our Dajin Dynasty, which shows that this dog thief is difficult to persuade to surrender. The emperor and the prime minister should not hold out this hope!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded, and said to Wanyan Zongbi: "Wushu, you went south to attack the Song Dynasty this time, can you see clearly the reality of the Song people?"
"Your Majesty, in the land of the Song people, there are no soldiers who have fought for a long time, and they can be sent down in an instant. The Song people's Tokyo Left-behind Division is a little difficult. This time, I led my troops south, hoping to capture the city of Tokyo and isolate the Daimyo's Mansion in one go. Who knew that both Huazhou and Dongming were blocked by the Song soldiers. That's why I had to attack the land of the Song people. If I wave my army to the north and join forces with the Liduo soldiers, Wang Song's thief will not succeed!"
Wanyan Wu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Wushu, a Wang Song has already given people a headache, and now there is a Tokyo Left-behind Division." Is it that Song general guarding that can withstand the impact of my Jurchen warriors?"
Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince Jin Wushu who is well known to the Song people in history, is young and ambitious at the moment.
"Your Majesty, the official of the Great Song Dynasty of the Tokyo Left-behind Division is Zong Ze, I heard that he is sick in bed and is dying, I am afraid he will not be able to stand it for long. It was the Song general Yue Fei who fought on the front line with our army. This man is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and his subordinate sergeants are all dead soldiers, and his combat power is quite strong. I heard that Shehe's horse was folded in this man's hand. ”
After hearing Yan Zongbi mention Yue Fei, Yan Zonghan's little eyes opened slightly, and two cold rays immediately shot out.
He said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Yue Fei was also Wang Song's subordinate before, and he was the chief general of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army. Later, I heard that Wang Song died in battle, and then returned to the Song court. ”
"Oh!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai suddenly realized, he brushed his beard and pondered: "I heard that Wang Song died in Fuzhou in battle, I was relieved. I didn't expect that I would lose my soldiers and give this thief an escape, and I also broke several members of my Dajin royal family. If I could be 20 years younger, I would personally go into battle and cut off the head of this thief!"
