Chapter 387: Abandon the Past Suspicions
Zhao Hao didn't need to worry about Zhang Shijie's defection, but history has changed slightly, and he can't help but have more eyes, lest he be sold and count the money for others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and his worries are not superfluous, in his previous life, someone proposed that Zhang Shijie was a 'traitor' and Zhang Hongfan joined forces to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, of course, in his opinion, this statement is a bit absurd, but his various irrational behaviors did give Zhang Hongfan a chance, which made people have to be full of reverie about the battle of Yashan that has been confusing.
According to Zhao Yu's knowledge from the history books (of course, it has now been verified), Zhang Hongfan is a Han Chinese, but according to the current household registration system, he is not a Song person, nor a Jin person, it should be said that he is from the Yuan Dynasty. His father Zhang Rou is a native of Dingxing, Hebei, born as a farmer, originally from the Jin Kingdom, if you go back several generations of his ancestors may be the remnants of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the early stage of the fall of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Rou became a warlord by organizing the township Yong, and then fought with the Mongol army and was captured, surrendered to the Mongols, and later became the general of the Mongol Han army in successive years of warfare. Zhang Hongfan was born twenty years after his father Zhang Rou descended to Mengmeng, at this time Yuan Taizong Wokotai had also been called Khan for ten years, and Jin Guo had died for four years, and the household registration could only be on the household registration book of the Yuan Dynasty, so it was impossible for him to be a Song general.
The reason why people prefer to see the story of Zhang Hongfan, who was humiliated and despised by later generations as a "general of the Song Dynasty", is because from a national point of view, people sympathize with and sigh for the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and hate the traitors who fought for the enemy.
However, Zhang Hongfan, as a Han Chinese, came to attack and kill his fellow clansmen, which is a great rebellion. Many people don't know Zhang Hongfan's life experience, just because he is Han and took the Han name, they concluded that he was a traitor, put him on the charge of surrendering to the enemy, accused him of missing "loyalty", humiliated and degraded him, and scolded him bloody, although Zhang Hongfan was born and grew up in a foreign land, but just because he was a Han Chinese, his body was full of Han blood.
Zhang Shijie is really a Han nationality in Jinguo, he is Zhang Rou's little fellow villager, he should belong to the same clan, and he should be a nephew according to his generation. He followed Zhang Rou to raise troops to resist Mongolia, but then he didn't know what happened, Zhang Shijie went south to the Great Song Dynasty, relying on a knife and a gun to become famous, and now he has become the first person in the Song Dynasty army. For the same reason, Zhang Shijie fought for the Great Song Dynasty all his life, and naturally became a model for the Han people not to forget their ancestors.
But Zhao Yu knows that in this era when people's concept of the country is weak and the concept of clan is extremely strong, anything can happen, and the Lu family Lu Wenhuan surrendered alone, and the children of his family surrendered one after another, which led to the collapse of the Yangtze River defense line is proof. In the case of internal and external difficulties, if Zhang Shijie is a little shaken, he may be moved by Zhang Hongfan's clan affection. If he surrenders, Zhao Yu will be very miserable if he wants to save the situation by himself, and he ponders that the best outcome is to take the Queen Mother and the Ban courtiers to break out of the encirclement, leaving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to flee for their lives......
The failure of the fireboat plan made Zhang Hongfan feel that it was difficult to easily capture the Song army's water village, and he didn't dare to use the high-cost fireboat plan anymore, so he tightened the blockade as Zhao Yu knew, and began to implement the psychological attack and surrender plan, he really found out a relative of Zhang Shijie from his own army, his nephew Han Xin, and asked him to enter the Song camp to persuade him to surrender. However, the facts made Zhao Yu quickly relieved, and Zhang Shijie proved with his own actions that he was still the guy loyal to the Great Song Dynasty in history. But it also made Zhao Hao very disappointed, people didn't treat themselves as an emperor at all, and they didn't ask him to call the shots when they persuaded him to surrender.
Zhang Shijie missed the old love for the first time and met Han Xin on his boat. In fact, there is no skill in this persuasion, it is nothing more than to meet the requirements of the target, and the most commonly used method is high-ranking officials. Zhang Hongfan's conditions were that the official seal of ten thousand households, and the gold and silver were not counted, but these did not impress Zhang Shijie, and he sent his nephew out of the camp; Unexpectedly, Han Xin came again the next day, this time Zhang Shijie's face was not good-looking, and he made it clear that he would never surrender, so he sent him away.
Thinking that Zhang Hongfan gave Han Xin a death order, or made a grand wish, and he came to persuade him to surrender on the third day, this time Zhang Shijie was annoyed, and pointed his finger at his nephew's nose in front of everyone and scolded his famous words that have been passed down to future generations - "I know that surrender can save my life and enjoy glory and wealth, but can people ignore righteousness?" Ashamed, Han Xin was embarrassed and walked away, and never climbed the threshold of his uncle's house again. Later, he said to the people around him: "I also know that as long as I surrender, I can live and get rich, but I have made up my mind and will not waver." ”
Zhang Hongfan saw that his family affection could not impress Zhang Shijie, so he turned to Wen Tianxiang to make up his mind, trying to kill two birds with one stone, not only to lure Wen Tianxiang to surrender, but also to use his prestige in the Song army to disintegrate the Song army. He sent Li Heng to persuade Wen Tianxiang to repair the book to Zhang Shijie, urging him to surrender as soon as possible. But Wen Tianxiang didn't write it, and said solemnly: "I can't save my parents (referring to the Song Dynasty), can I teach people to betray their parents?" But Li Heng insisted that he write it, so he angrily picked up the pen and paper that asked him to repair the book, and put the poem "Seven Laws" written by the people when he was escorted on the boat and passed through Lingdingyang at the mouth of the Pearl River. Crossing Zero Ding Yang was written. In this way, Zhang Hongfan also has some credit for classical Chinese literature.
Everyone is very face-saving, and of course Zhao Yu has to express it. Zhang Hongfan, who failed to persuade him to surrender, realized that there was no shortcut on Yashan Avenue, and he was ready to gnaw hard bones, and sent troops to occupy all the coasts of Yashan Island, completely cutting off the Song army's way to obtain firewood and fresh water. He sent Deng Guang as a representative and asked him to send Zhang Shijie 2,000 stone of clear water, and said that he could use the guards to recapture Qiaoji Road and annihilate the enemy troops on the island, so he asked him to make it convenient. If you send 2,000 stone of clear water to someone on weekdays, it is estimated that not only Zhang Shijie, but anyone will think that Your Majesty is happy with him! But now it's different, water is not only as expensive as oil, but comparable to gold, that's life!
Zhang Shijie felt that the current situation was critical, and His Majesty made overtures to him, so he personally crossed the ship to discuss with His Majesty regardless of the 'danger'. This made Zhao Yu very relieved, although it was forced by the situation, but it also showed that everyone could still sit down and talk at a critical moment, so he led the crowd to personally get off the boat to greet him, and he welcomed the boat to discuss the plan to break the enemy, and staged a great drama of abandoning the previous suspicions and concentrating on the monarch and the minister, and this scene is likely to change the trend of history and rewrite the history of the Great Song Dynasty......
