…

Zhao Huan believes that now that the Jin army has come to the city, it may attack at any time, so there is a threat of destruction at any time, and if he can negotiate peace with the Jin people, he can keep the ancestors' Jiangshan Sheji, and he can save his own life, so it is imminent to rush to get enough gold and silver, and he is desperate for this.

Zhao Huan issued an edict and said: "The number of military materials required for Dajin is huge, and the imperial court tries its best to respond to it, and if it is used to worship the temple utensils, it will not dare to be stingy." As for the prince's house of hundreds of officials inside and outside, they have been warned and provided with all the help, but I am afraid that they will not be able to make ends meet. The loyal and righteous people, it is appropriate to be the country, and all those who are willing to help the country will be sent to the household department in Nie Mountain and other places under the sun. ”

Soon, Zhao Huan issued an edict and said: "The kings of the Fanyan Mansion have gold and silver silk silks, Taoist officials, music officials, tricks and other officials and five officials, and they have seen the gold and silver, and they are only now in the Yuanfeng Treasury." If you dare to hide and hide, and follow the military law. Zhugongguan Temple, Fengxian Pu'an Tombs, Liushang Bureau Divisions and Kaifeng Mansion Public Gold and Silver, Detention and Storage. ”

Two days later, Zhao Huan summoned the deacons to a meeting in the Funing Hall to report on the collection of gold and silver.

As a result, only 300,000 taels of gold and 8,000,000 taels of silver.

This bit of gold and silver is too far from what the gold people want, and the deacons are panicked and apologized, but only Li Gang is not grateful.

Zhao Huan was very anxious, he thought that if the Jin people were not satisfied, they would not withdraw easily, so he ordered Zhang Daoji to collect all the gold and silver utensils used for the temple sacrifice in the palace, and converted a total of five million taels of silver and one million taels of gold.

Zhao Huan then arranged for Tang Chong, Xie Kejia, Li Zhen, and Shi Ji to go to Cai Jing, Tong Guan, He Zhizhong, Zheng Shen, Gao Yu, Wang Xian, Peng Duan, Liu Zongyuan and other people's homes, as well as their relatives' homes, to collect gold and silver treasures—to take all the gold, silver and jewelry owned by these people, and send them to Yuanfeng Treasury on the same day.

Song Qinzong said to Tang Zhong and others: "If they dare to hide their favoritism, or turn to hiding, they allow those who know to denounce, and once it is verified, half of the reward will be given to the whistleblower, and the hidden person will be subject to military law." ”

Among these people, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Yu are all Zhao Ji's favorite ministers, and there are also those who have passed away, how to hold the middle, and the most special identity is Zheng Shen, who is Zhao Ji's father-in-law, that is, the father of Empress Zheng (now the Empress Dowager), and nominally Zhao Huan's grandfather.

It can be seen that Zhao Huan is crazy.

In order to gather the gold and silver that the gold man wanted as soon as possible, Zhao Huan can be said to have hollowed out his mind and racked his brains.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Huan issued another holy decree, requiring that no matter whether there is an official position or not, no matter who has been given a gold belt, then the gold belt obtained must be reported to Kaifeng Mansion and paid, if you dare to conceal it and not report it, and if you are reported and reported, you will be sentenced and sent back according to the severity of the circumstances.

Perhaps because he felt that this kind of decree was not straightforward enough, and the effect was not immediate enough, he also learned from Zhao Ji's practice and directly commanded with the imperial pen.

Zhao Huan wrote a royal pen and handed it to Shangshu Province, so that Shangshu Province could go directly to (rob) the gold and silver.

It is written in the royal pen:

"Zeng Yi should only be in the house of prostitutes, and Yuan Tao, Wu Zhen, Shi Yan, Jiang Yi, and Guo Lao Niang will be expelled from each family's wealth and nationality, and the provincial officials, Taoist officials, and medicine officials have been specially given gold and silver to Xu Jin, and Yang Qiu, Zhang Bu, Jiang Yaochen, Li Zongbao, Zhang Shibao, Li Zongzhen, Song Hui, Dong Zhen gold and silver, and Yang Nie Shan, He Li, Zhou Yiwen, and Li Guang only ordered to take it directly."

The meaning of this imperial pen is very clear, that is, to directly confiscate all the properties of these people named.

And Zhao Huan named mainly three types of people, one is the family of prostitutes, the second is the chamberlain who once gave gold and silver and a gold belt, and the third is Yang Qiu and other corrupt officials who are attached to Cai Jing Tongguan.

(Historically, the wealth of Li Shishi and Zhao Yuannu was taken away by Zhao Huan's order and then dedicated to the Jin people.) ）

Li Bangyan was in charge of carrying out this matter, and he said to Nie Shan, He Li, and others: "By the holy decree: If the people contained in the imperial pen dare to hide their feelings, they will be turned into a hiding house, and they will be allowed to surrender themselves on the same day, and if they disobey, they will be subject to military law." If anyone else has something hidden, give it half a reward. ”

Later, Li Zheng, the palace attendant, suggested to Zhao Huan: "In order to gather gold and silver as soon as possible, an edict can be issued, and all citizens who receive a large amount of gold and silver will be awarded to officials first, which can not only show the people's trust, but also motivate those who come." ”

Zhao Huan even agreed to do so.

As a result, two ordinary people named Wang Yi and Wang Ge were awarded official positions because of the large amount of gold and silver they paid.

Wang Xiaodi, a scholar in the middle school, made a suggestion to Zhao Huan, saying: "If you want to collect all the gold and silver of the officials, soldiers and civilians in Beijing to meet the needs of the peace talks, you must make a public announcement in the city, stipulate a time limit, and make them all take out and hand them over to the public, and those who do not pay them will be beheaded." Slaves and maidservants, their relatives and other persons who can expose and report the act of concealment shall be rewarded with a half-reward. ”

Zhao Huan felt that Wang Xiaodi's suggestion was reasonable, so he agreed to Wang Xiaodi's suggestion, and made Wang Xiaodi a temporary institution, specially responsible for collecting gold and silver.

Wang Xiaodi then sent people to post announcements everywhere in the city, and the list said: "Specially lead the collection of gold and silver from the Dajin State Army: In the face of the holy decree, the soldiers and horses of the Dajin State besiege the capital, and its situation is very urgent. The country of gold wants 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver, and the gold and silver collected in the past are all from the temple, the palace ban, the public opinion, and the clothing, and they are all brushed, and they can get more than 100,000 taels and more than 1,200,000 taels of silver. Seeing that the number was not enough, Dajin sent the envoys to the edict that it would be difficult for them to withdraw from the army, and he feared that the soldiers would be unevenly rewarded, and they would be angry, but they came to attack the city, and the men were killed, and the women were taken prisoner, and the houses were burned, and the gold and silver ......were burned, and the money and goods were gone."

When the people of Tokyo read that "if there is not enough gold and silver, they will be angry, but they will come to attack the city, the men will be killed, the women will be taken prisoner, the houses will be burned, and the gold, silver, money and goods will be exhausted", they all scolded, and they all talked about it, the men were killed, the women were captured, the palace was burned, and the gold and silver were taken away.

Later, everyone said that Wang Huang, the former prime minister who had become a minister, engaged in corruption and bribery during his tenure as prime minister, and the treasures in his family were piled up, so why didn't he use it?

Zhao Huan then issued an edict to strip Wang Huang of his official title, exiled him to Hengzhou, and confiscated all his family property.

The officials received hundreds of millions of gold treasures from Wang Hao's family.

Both Wu Min and Li Gang suggested killing Wang Hao.

But Zhao Huan felt that it was not appropriate to publicly kill the retired minister at this time, so he handed over the matter to Kaifeng Yin Nieshan to deal with.

Nie Shan secretly sent warriors to hunt down Wang Hao on the way, and announced that Wang Hao had been killed by bandits.

After searching three feet, Zhao Huan was not enough, and took the treasures and jade collected by the ancestors to the Jin people.

Zhao Huan not only desperately collected gold, silver and jewelry to satisfy the greed of the Jin people, but also ordered that in the future, the title of the Jin country should only be called "Dajin", and when the word "country" must be used, it should be implemented according to the self-style, let alone the Jin country.

In this era, the mention of a certain country means that it is a vassal state.

Although the vassal state has independent territory and sovereignty, it must accept the protection of the suzerain, and the relationship with the suzerainty is tributary.

To put it simply, a suzerainty is a large country, while a vassal state is a small country.

Zhao Huan's will is obviously to curry favor with Jinren.

Zhao Huan curryed favor with Jinren, not only this little thing, he also gave Wanyan Zongwang some good things every day, such as borneol, rafter candles, incense, so that Wanyan Zongwang could take good care of himself, and sent him to serve the emperor, rhino jade, belts, real pearls, treasures, female music, rare birds, incense, tea, Jinqi wine and fruits, etc., so that Wanyan Zongwang lived a little more comfortable outside the city, and he also asked Wanyan Zongwang for warmth every day.

Li Gang was very unimpressed with Zhao Huan's move, and he often advised Zhao Huan, and even argued with reason.

Li Gang thought that rewarding these valuables was not enough to be virtuous, and the effect might be counterproductive, making the Jin people despise the Great Song Dynasty even more, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty was weak and could be bullied.

However, Li Bangyan and other capitulation factions unanimously praised Zhao Huan's virtues, and did not agree with what Li Gang said.

In the face of the weak and deceitful Song court, the Jin people were more presumptuous, demanding unscrupulous, and even asked the Song court to provide them with prostitutes, rare birds, elephant taming, and the like.

And Zhao Huan and others all followed.

That's it, after all, the situation is pressing.

But Zhao Huan also issued an edict to the three prefectures of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan, which were still resisting stubbornly, and asked the guards of the three prefectures to surrender as soon as possible.

Zhao Huan's edict said this:

"At the request of Zhongshan, Hejian, and Taiyuan Prefectures, which are subordinate to the counties and towns and the state army to the north, have been agreed upon in the oath to settle the matter with Dajin. Yesterday, Daikin recruited defectors with the imperial court, and Yu swore an oath to raise a large army until Gyeonggi. Emphasizing the idea of social discipline, the connection is very large, so the three provinces are cut to find the alliance, the worries of the military revolution are eliminated, and the good of the two dynasties is solidified. Where its canines are uneven, and the two are exchanged, and the oath is executed. If the state army did not obey, Yang will tell this edict all over the place, and all things will be obeyed, and the mother may refuse to disobey it, and take it upon itself.

The two dynasties are connected to each other, the righteousness is the same family, each lives in peace, and the letter and harmony ...... forever"

It can be said that Zhao Huan is almost without a bottom line.

Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the army of the Quartet King Qin has gradually moved outside the city.

Li Gang placed these tens of thousands of people around the capital and established effective organizational structures respectively.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Ma Zhong, the commander of the command, led the Jingxi army to the city, and then outside the Shuntian Gate, he happened to meet a group of golden soldiers.

Ma Zhong led his army to attack it and killed many people.

The continuous gathering of King Qin's division made Zhao Huan's attitude slowly change.

Wait until the Gyeonggi and Hebei Road envoys and Yao Pingzhong, the commander of the system, led the troops of Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road to arrive at the city of Tokyo.

Zhao Huan, who had been groveling for a long time, finally straightened his waist.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

As soon as the Seed Master Dao and the Western Army came, the Jin Army immediately reined in its previous arrogant attitude, and quietly moved north to build additional fortifications, as if they were going to defend Mu Huogang with all their might, and the rangers did not dare to go out to plunder.

But—

Before the seed master entered the city, Prime Minister Li Bangyan sent someone to send an edict, saying: "The court and the Jin peace agreement has been decided, and those who dare to speak out will be exterminated!" ”

He was seventy-six years old and sick, so he did not ride a horse, but rode into the city.

After seeing Zhao Huan, the seed master said: "The minister didn't know that the Jingshi was in such a hurry, and the minister had speculated that the Jin people would not dare to cross the river, so it was too late." Now the minister is here, Your Majesty does not need to worry! ”

Zhao Huan, who had been wronged, almost didn't cry when he heard the planter's words.

Zhao Huan said: "Aiqing has a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

The planter said: "The minister thinks that he is talking and not calculating. Eighty miles around the capital, how can it be surrounded? The city is more than ten zhang high, and it has been supported for several years, and it cannot be attacked. If you set up a fortress in the city, and refuse to do so outside the city, and wait for the army of the king of Qin, you will not exceed ten months, and the enemy will be in trouble. However, peace that has been made cannot be abolished. Gold and silver are insufficient, please see the number with it, if it does not retreat, it is a battle with it! Moreover, in the land of the four towns, there is Baozhou, which is where the mausoleum of Xuanzu is located, and it is not suitable to be cut off. ”

As soon as the planter said this, Li Bangyan and other ministers who advocated peace all became very unsightly.

Wanyan Zongwang learned that the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived in the city, and immediately sent an envoy Wang Wei into the city to meet Zhao Huan.

Nominally, this is a reward to thank Zhao Huan, but in fact, Wanyan Zongwang is observing and understanding the current situation of the Song Kingdom.

Wang Wei entered the palace, bowed to the ground, and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Huan for giving Shen Xiang Shanzi, flower rhino, tortoiseshell wine vessels, and strange beasts and rare birds.

Wang Xiao's courtesy was much more respectful than before.

Zhao Huan turned around and smiled at the planter: "He is afraid of Qing. ”

Previously, the gates of Bianliang City were closed.

The Eastern Gate and the Southern Gate were opened, allowing the citizens to enter and exit as usual, and the people's hearts were somewhat calmed down as a result, while the Jin people were worried.

The seed master Dao also suggested to Zhao Huan that he would not give the Jin people the gold and silver he had extorted, and send a large army to strangle the Yellow River, so that the Jin army would not return it.

In this regard, Song Qinzong agreed.

After inspection, he was confident about breaking the enemy, and said to his cronies: "The enemy is easy to break, but the Zhuzhai is against the enemy, so that it cannot be captured and plundered." When the enemy is short of food, he can enter the army. Then send troops to set up an ambush on the Yellow River, and wait for it to cross halfway to attack it, this foolproof strategy is also. ”

Seed Master Dao wanted to know more about the internal situation of the Jin army, so he sent a few brave men out of the city and captured three Jin soldiers.

The planter told them to tell them about their situation in the army.

One of them would rather die than say anything.

The Seed Master Dao ordered it to be beheaded.

The planter asked the second person, who was frightened, so he confessed what he knew about the situation in the army.

The planter ordered another person to have his belly cut to test what he had eaten.

When I broke my belly, I saw that this golden soldier had nothing in his belly, only some beans.

The planter said to the people present: "The enemy's food is scarce, and he can be destroyed." ”

Subsequently, the Seed Master Dao released the living Jin Bing and asked him to go back and tell Yan Zongwang about these things.

Zong Wang was shocked when he learned of this, so he decided to sue for peace.

The officers and soldiers who came to King Qin, in addition to the seed master Dao and Yao Pingzhong, there were also Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong of Yan Yan Road, Wang Yang and Ma Qian of Huanqing Road, Yao Gu of Xihe Road, Qin Feng Road's seed master and Zhe Yanzhi and Zhe Keqiu and other Qinwang soldiers, in addition to Liu Guangguo, Yang Kesheng, Li Bao and other road soldiers, known as 200,000 people.

The Qinwang team from different places accumulated outside the city, not affiliated with each other, and lacked a unified command system.

If there is no unity of command, the various armies will not be able to fight in coordination.

Li Gang felt that it would not work like this, so he played and asked Zhao Huan to order the Qin Wang officials and soldiers such as Seed Master Dao and Yao Pingzhong to obey his moderation.

Zhao Huan lowered the imperial pen and said: "The master is old and knows the soldiers, the position is high, and he is the same official as Qing, and he is also Cao Yuke." ”

Zhao Huan meant to let the seed master Dao succeed Cao Yu and serve as the deputy envoy of the pro-expedition camp.

In fact, this arrangement is very reasonable, and it can also allow the Song army to form a unified command, as long as it is properly planned, it can completely annihilate Yan Zongwang's forty or fifty thousand horses.

But soon Zhao Huan made the same mistake of their old Zhao family, he was afraid that Li Gang's military power was too heavy, so he withdrew the order he had given before, and changed the seed master Dao to sign the Privy Council, charge Hebei, Hedong, and Jinggi Xuanfu envoys, and Yao Pingzhong was the commander of the Xuanfu Division, and the Xuanfu Division unified the command of the Western Soldiers and the division of the Quartet Qinwang. At the same time, the front army and rear army stationed outside the city were also transferred to the Beijing Division, which were also under the command of the Xuanfu Division.

The division of the city is divided into two villages, one in the southwest and the other in the northeast.

Compared with the Xuanfu Division of the Cultivation Division, Li Gang's authority of the Xingying Division has declined, and the team to which the Xingying Division belongs is only the left, right, and middle armies.

The military power is divided into two parts, which are not unified.

When the Propaganda Department plans to take action, it often does not report to the Operations Division on the grounds of confidentiality.

As a result, the Camp Division was ignorant of the Xuanfu Division's military plan outside the city.

Li Gang was a little disappointed and worried about it!

But Zhao Huan didn't think so, he thought that he had controlled the ambitions of his courtiers very well.

At the same time, Zhao Huan found that he had an army of 200,000 on his side, which could be described as a strong army, while the Jin army only had an army of 40,000 or 50,000.

Is that a counterattack?

As soon as this thought appeared in Zhao Huan's heart, it was out of control.

When Zhao Huan heard that the Jin people had excavated all the graves of the concubines, princes, and emperors outside the city, he was very angry, so he made up his mind to start a war with the Jin army!
