The killing of Zhang Jue's father and son shook the Chang Shengjun led by Guo Yaoshi a lot, and they were quite disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty, and even complained.

Wang Anzhong felt uneasy about the unstable political situation in Yanjing.

Wang Anzhong wanted to leave Yanjing, and he didn't want to be the chief official who was doomed to ruin in this crisis.

But Zhao Ji did not allow Wang Anzhong to leave Yanjing.

There is no way, Wang Anzhong can only get by, and let Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun continue to grow bigger and stronger.

The Changsheng army was mainly composed of three groups of people - one was the Han people of the former Liao State Tokyo Dao, the second was the Bohai people, and the third was the Han people of the former Liao State Nanjing Road (i.e., Yandi).

The Yisheng Army was mainly composed of Han Chinese in the Yanyun area.

In terms of closeness, the Yisheng Army, whose members are all Han'er, makes the Song people feel closer.

In addition, the Yisheng Army was an army formed by the Great Song Dynasty itself, and it did not have a complicated origin like the Changsheng Army.

The key point is that the Great Song Dynasty hopes to completely encircle the righteous victorious army in order to contain the victorious army.

It is precisely because of this that the Great Song Dynasty gave the Yisheng Army the highest treatment - this kind of treatment, not to mention that other armies in the Great Song Dynasty can't compare, even the Changsheng Army can't compare, so that many people in the Changsheng Army fled to the Yisheng Army to join the army.

This also caused strong dissatisfaction from the top and bottom of the Chang Shengjun led by Guo Yaoshi.

Moreover, the generous treatment of the Yisheng Army not only dissatisfied the Changsheng Army, but also made the soldiers of other armies of the Great Song Dynasty very dissatisfied.

According to the policy established by the Zhao and Song courts, the monthly rations and clothing of the Yisheng army were twice as high as those of the other Song soldiers, and in addition, the soldiers of the other Song armies ate old grain, while the soldiers of the Yisheng army ate new grain.

This made the other soldiers of the Song army very unbalanced!

The soldiers of the Yisheng Army, as "returnees", were still "Fanren" and "Han'er" in the eyes of other Song Army soldiers, and they believed that they should be inferior to themselves as victors.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Yisheng Army were often looked at by other Song soldiers - other Song soldiers met the soldiers of the Yisheng Army on the road and often insulted them: "You are a new person, and my officers and soldiers are also hungry Chen, I am not as good as a fan?" I'm going to punish you! ”

This caused the soldiers of the Yisheng Army to suffer tremendous psychological pressure.

Actually-

Not only the soldiers of the Yisheng Army, but even the Han people in the Yanyun region are the same.

Because the Zhao and Song courts did not have the correct guidance, the Song people all regarded the Han children in the Yanyun area as aliens and Fan people, and never regarded them as the same race, thinking that they were not my race.

What is the result of this?

As a result, the Han people in the Yanyun area could not find recognition from the Song people, and they were bound to be provocative.

And the responsibility for all this is actually on the Zhao and Song courts, that is, on Zhao Jijunchen - Zhao Jijunchen's attitude towards the Han people in the Yanyun area has always been very ambiguous, they are not only suspicious of the Han people in the Yanyun area and do not trust the Han people in the Yanyun area, but also want to win over the Han people in the Yanyun area and use the Han people in the Yanyun area.

In this context, the attitude of the Han people in the Yanyun area towards the Great Song Dynasty was also complicated, especially when Cai Zhen's Liaodong regime was withdrawn, some of them longed for the Great Song, some resented the Great Song, and some had hope for the Great Song at first, but later turned to disappointment and even despair after seeing the policies of the Great Song.

After the Great Song Dynasty recovered the Yanyun area, there were fatal flaws in the policy, and in the final analysis, it was not the heart of the people of Yanshan.

A person named Xu Cai once concluded: "There are three people who lose the hearts of the people: one is to change officials, two to grant fields, and three to salt the law." The change of officials lost the hearts of the people, the granting of land lost the hearts of the people, and the salt law did not lose the hearts of the people. ”

The reason why the Great Song Dynasty adopted the policy of "changing officials" was to encircle the upper Han people in the Yanyun region in order to consolidate the rule of the Great Song in this region.

But this policy also reflects from the other side, the Great Song Dynasty does not trust the upper-class Han people in the Yanyun area, otherwise, why can't the upper-class Han people in the Yanyun area stay where they are and continue to be officials?

And the results of the "change of officials" were not good - many upper-class Han people in the Yanyun area, in the end, went to Liaodong or threw themselves into the Jin people, and they were very disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty.

The most obvious harm was the policy of "granting land" (i.e., giving the fields and houses of the wealthy Yandi to the victorious army and using them as military salaries and garrisons for the victorious army).

Once this strategy was implemented, a large number of people in Yandi were displaced, many of whom were still upper-class families under the rule of the Liao State and Cai Ying, but under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, they eventually became beggars, and even included many of the former important ministers of the Liao State and their relatives.

Wang Anzhong, the prefect of Yanshan Prefecture, had noticed these things, but it was very difficult to completely solve these people, because Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun were vested interests in this policy, and they would definitely obstruct it.

The most unpopular is the "salt law".

In the later period of the Liao Kingdom, the tax burden in the Yanyun area was not heavy, and the economic burden of the people was generally light.

During the reign of Cai Ying, Cai still carried out qualitative reforms in taxation, cutting down all unnecessary taxes, and even directly promulgated a three-year tax exemption policy, so that people in the Yanyun area (especially Yundi) could recuperate.

After it was the turn of the Great Song Dynasty to take over the Yanyun region, Zhao Jijunchen implemented the same or even higher official salt system in the Yanyun region than in the mainland.

Not to mention that compared with Cai Ying's time, the people in the Yanyun area now generally believe that during Cai's reign, they were like living in heaven, regretting that they did not go to Goryeo with Cai when they died.

Only said that it is compared with the later period of the Liao Kingdom.

In the later period of the Liao Kingdom, for every 400 wen, 120 catties of salt were obtained.

During the reign of the Great Song Dynasty, the price per catty of salt skyrocketed to 250 wen, and even to 280 wen.

With such a high price of salt and such a big contrast, the result of the Great Song Dynasty policy can only be the loss of popular support.

The key point is that the Great Song Dynasty has done so much, and it has not bought the loyalty of the Changsheng Army and the Yisheng Army - whether it is the Changsheng Army or the Yisheng Army, they do not have deep feelings for the Great Song Dynasty from top to bottom, from officers to soldiers.

Some of them thought they were from the Liao Kingdom, because the Liao State was dead, and they took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty in desperation.

Some of them originally wanted to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty and honestly become Song people, but the Song people constantly mocked them, insulted them, and did not recognize their Han identity, which led to a serious psychological imbalance and made their positions and concepts extremely unstable.

However, it is a pity that Zhao Jijun's ministers lacked a clear understanding of this, and they still proudly used their imperial techniques, imperial techniques, and balancing techniques, hoping to rely on the Changsheng army and the righteous victorious army, which they did not trust and had to rely on, to defend the northern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty.

From here, it can also be seen how naïve and ridiculous Zhao Jijunchen is politically.

Once a war broke out on the border, the Han people in the Yanyun area accounted for the majority of the Changsheng army and the Yisheng army, could they work for the Great Song Dynasty?

……

At the beginning of April of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Wanyan Zongwang sent an envoy from Nanjing (Pingzhou) of the Jin State to find Tan Zhi in the Xuanfu Division of Hedong in the Song Dynasty and asked for 200,000 yuan of military rations.

The Jin envoy said that this was what the previous Xuanfu Division had promised, that is, what the Xuanfu Division led by Tong Guan had promised - in fact, this was what Zhao Ji agreed.

Tan Zhi was very embarrassed by this, and he replied: "200,000 Hu grain is not so easy to get. Besides, since I came to the Xuanfu Division, I have never seen a single word on the piece of paper that promised to lend you military rations, so this matter is very difficult to do. ”

The envoy explained: "The matter of borrowing grain was personally agreed to by Wang Zongchang, the envoy of the Gui Dynasty, in April last year. ”

When Tan Zhi heard that it was a verbal promise, he said angrily: "How can a verbal promise be relied upon? Then you go to Wang Zongchang and ask for it. ”

At this time, the Jin army was indeed short of military rations.

In the past two years, from the south of Xianzhou (later Kaiyuan, Liaoning) of the Jin Kingdom, to the north of Suzhou (later Dalian Jinzhou) and Fuzhou (later Dalian Wafangdian City), the annual valley did not climb, and the famine among the people was serious, so that there was a situation of changing children and eating.

Actually-

Not only was there a famine in the Jin Kingdom, but the same was true of the Great Song Dynasty, especially in the Yanyun region.

Yundi is a little better, Cai is still in the cloud for a year, and vigorously develops agriculture, so that the people of Yundi have a little grain.

But Yandi is not good, full of calculations, Cai still did not stay in Yandi for three months, and the key three months were not the spring ploughing period, and then Cai still decided to withdraw from Yanyun, and decisively began to evacuate, which led to the fact that Cai Ying's government did not develop agriculture in Yandi at all.

Later, after the Great Song Dynasty took over the Yanyun area, he only thought about how to grab the territory, coupled with the reversal of officials and the confusion of policies, not to mention the development of agriculture, no one persuaded the cultivation and resumption of farming, which led to the Yanyun area (especially Yandi) completely missing the spring ploughing of the year.

It can be said that that year, there was almost no harvest in the Yanyun area.

The people in the Yanyun area sat and ate empty mountains for a whole year.

The following year, there was another great drought in the world.

Result –

The Yanyun area (especially Yandi) suffered a very severe famine, and the parents ate their children, and even the dead bodies of the sick and died were marked on the market, and people sold them for food.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the soldiers were scrawny, and seven or eight out of ten township soldiers starved to death.

Not to mention how serious the famine in the Yanyun area is.

This also made Yan Yun's people all hate the Great Song Dynasty, and they all regretted that they didn't go to Goryeo with Cai after they died.

In this situation of serious food shortage, Wanyan Zongwang asked Tan Zhi for two million stone of grain, where do you let Tan Zhi go to get Wanyan Zongwang?

It's no wonder that Tan Shu shirked it.

But Wanyan Zongwang didn't care about this, he only knew that Da Song promised to lend him grain, and Tan Zhi shirked and sneered.

Wanyan Zongwang was extremely angry at Tan Zhi (actually towards the Great Song Dynasty) - he felt that the Great Song Dynasty had always gone back on his word and constantly teased them about the Jin people, how could a neighbor like this become a friendly neighbor? We should look for opportunities to teach this a lesson.

In mid-July, Western Xia first sent troops against the Great Song Dynasty and attacked Shuozhou, which was already under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the beginning, when Wanyan Agu asked the Western Xia to send troops to jointly conquer Cai Zhen, in Yunnan, the Jin State had promised to cede it to the Western Xia, but in the end, the entire Yanyun was given to the Great Song Dynasty by Cai Zhen.

This made Xixia very unwilling!

In addition, there is Wanyan Zonghan, who has been peeping at the cloud land for a long time, and secretly agreed to carve up the cloud land with the Western Xia - specifically, the Jin State occupies Yunbei, and the Western Xia occupies Yunnan.

Moreover, for the Yunzhong region, Western Xia has long coveted it.

In this way, after considering it all, Li Qianshun resolutely took advantage of the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty and sent a large army to attack Yundi.

Tan Zhi was defenseless against this, and he hurriedly ordered Li Siben to lead the Yisheng army to meet the battle.

It has to be said that the Righteous Victory Army still has some combat power.

Although it was a hurried battle, the two sides fought several times, each with victory and defeat.

As a result, the Xia army has not been allowed to invade Yundi.

But—

may be out of unwillingness, or it may be out of waiting for Yan Zonghan to send troops together, and the two countries will divide the clouds, and the Western Xia soldiers have been refusing to retreat in the Yunzuo region.

The Western Xia sent troops this time to cross the Yellow River from Jinsu Prefecture (northwest of the later Inner Mongolia Jungger Banner) and the Heqing Army (later Inner Mongolia Dongshengbei), and captured the Tiande Army (later Inner Mongolia Erden Prague Sumu North), Yunnei Prefecture (later Inner Mongolia Tuzuo Banner northwest) and Hedong Eight Halls (i.e., Douda, Piercing, Haodong, Yeque, Shenya, Yulin, Baoda, and Yumin Eight Pavilions, in the northwest of Shanxi in the later generations).

It can be said that Western Xia is preparing to grow into a first-class power in one fell swoop, and even believes in Yan Zonghan's covenant, that is, to fall into it.

But—

Da Song seems to be ignorant of these situations, or he knows but is unprepared, and seems to be passive everywhere.

At the beginning of August, Wanyan Zonghan returned to the Yunbei region from Shangjing, and he made an appointment with Wanyan Zongwang, sent troops separately, and then invaded Yundi, which they captured in one fell swoop.

During this period, Li Siben also led the Yisheng Army to face the Jin Army.

As a result, the righteous victorious army was vulnerable, defeated at the first touch, and fled in embarrassment.

After the Jin army captured the entire territory of Yundi, it then successively captured the two dangerous levels of Flying Fox and Lingqiu.

At this point, the Jin army could already move south from Yundi to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Tan Zhi was sitting in Taiyuan, he lacked a clear understanding of the movements of the Jin army, and was helpless to watch the Jin army attack the city and plunder the wall.

In fact, during this time, Tan Zhi only knew that he was busy collecting rare treasures, gold, silver, pearls and jade, to fill his own pockets, as well as making friends with powerful people and currying favor with Zhao Ji, and he had no intention of military affairs at all.

Many people think that Tan Zhi can't do anything, he is cowardly and defeated, especially China Welling, he is not worthy of being the military supreme commander of the Yanyun region at all, and he is far worse than Tong Guan.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang sent troops to capture Yundi Kyushu, which originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and Tan Zhi had no way to do it, which made Zhao Ji Junchen shocked, they thought that the Jin Kingdom was going to start a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty, they were panicked and at a loss!

Soon, Wanyan Zongwang sent someone to send a document to Tan Zhi, accusing Tan Zhi of three main points: first, recruiting the traitor Zhang Jue; 2. Accepting the former Liao fugitive population and officials; 3. Refusing to pay the promised 200,000 Hu military rations.

The Jin people's dissatisfaction with Tan Zhi is their dissatisfaction with the Great Song Dynasty.

This dissatisfaction seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and the relationship between Song and Jin suddenly became a little tense!

At this time, Tong Guan and Cai You couldn't sit still, and they took the opportunity to enter the palace to make a statement, suggesting that Tan Zhi be dismissed.

For the three things that Jin Ren accused, who is responsible, Zhao Ji and his ministers are actually very clear - Tan Zhi is incompetent, but these things are actually mostly decisions made by Zhao Ji's ministers, and they have nothing to do with Tan Zhi at all.

Zhao Ji thought about it and felt that he could only let Tan Zhi be the scapegoat, and there was no other way, so he dismissed him from his position as a lieutenant and Xuanfu envoy on the grounds that Tan Zhi had no way to deal with it, and demoted him to the deputy envoy of the Shunchang Army.

Zhao Ji put all the blame on Tan Zhi, hoping to eliminate the Jin people's resentment against the Great Song Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ji reinstated Tong Guan, let him regain the leadership of the Privy Council, and continued to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, Hedong, and Yanshan Fulu, with Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu.

Zhao Ji ordered Tong Guan to set off immediately, rushed to Taiyuan, and hurriedly tried to find a way to ease the tension with the Jin State, and strive to return to Yundi Kyushu, which was robbed by the Jin people.

At the same time, Zhao Ji also gave Tong Guan a secret mission that outsiders could not know, that is: to find an opportunity to welcome Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi to the Great Song Dynasty......
