Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Little Rascals and the Big Robbers

When Jia Pingzhang Jia was performing like a bull, those imperial historians who wanted to participate in his book were also dumbfounded, this is the real auspiciousness, is there more real than what you saw with your own eyes?!

There is really no way to participate in his grandstanding and confusing behavior. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, this night banquet is the stage for his performance.

In this night banquet full of lights and bright lights, Jia Pingzhang Jia Nidao continued to say loudly: "My Great Song Dynasty has found a way to rise up!"

Just imagine, only 19 crystal balls have such mana, if there are really 9,999 of them, what would it look like! ”

At that time, the people on the scene were silent, and everyone was making up for it......

In the end, at the end of this night banquet that may become a succession, Jia Pingzhang and Jia Yidao received a joint appointment from the Empress Dowager Xie and the official family one after another, and the venue was in Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing, grandfather Xie Shenfu once served as prime minister.

She was born with a dark complexion and a black mole next to her eyes, but not long after entering the palace, Xie Dao cleared out a measles, and after a while, her skin fell off and was as white as jade.

(The writer himself is suffering from acute eczema, and now it has spread all over the body, I wonder if I can also molt?) )

When Song Lizong was about to establish the queen at that time, Jia Pingzhang's sister Jia Yidao was beautiful and was also selected.

Song Lizong wanted to establish the Jia clan.

But Empress Dowager Yang said: "The daughter of the Xie family is blessed and should be made the queen." ”

In fact, it was because her grandfather Xie Shenfu had the merit of supporting the Empress Dowager Yang when he was the prime minister, and the Empress Dowager Yang was very grateful to him.

The people around Song Lizong also privately discussed: "If you don't set up a real queen, do you actually set up a fake (Jia) queen?" ”

Song Lizong couldn't change Empress Dowager Yang's mind, so he decided to thank Daoqing.

But after Xie Daoqing was established as the queen, Jia Guifei was still favored by Song Lizong, and after Jia Guifei's death, Yan Guifei was favored again.

But Empress Xie Daoqing didn't mind this and was lenient.

Empress Dowager Yang thought she was very virtuous, and Song Lizong treated her more and more favorably and respectfully.

In 1259, when the Tatar army crossed the Yangtze River, Song Lizong planned to move the capital to Pingjiang or Qingyuan, Xie Daoqing advised not to move the capital, and he was afraid of shaking the people's hearts, so Song Lizong gave up.

In fact, at this time, Wen Tianxiang, who had just been admitted to the top prize not long ago, also thought that it was impossible, but the 22-year-old champion of the Great Song Dynasty was a little ruthless, and directly asked to kill Dong Songchen, the eunuch who wanted to move the capital!

He believed that the killing of Dong Songchen could unify people's hearts.

At that time, everyone had any opinions, and the Great Song Dynasty government couldn't kill this or that just because of an opinion, right? What kind of government has that become?

Song Lizong didn't agree to him, and as a result, Wen Tianxiang left his job and went home in anger!

One is young, and the other is from a very good family, not from a phoenix man...... Why don't you call Fa Keti and resign......

This night, Empress Dowager Xie and the official Zhao Yu met with Jia Pingzhang and Jia Rudao.

Empress Dowager Xie sat at the top, the official Zhao Yu sat at the bottom, and Jia Pingzhang and Jia Rudao sat beside her.

There are very few male ministers in Cining Palace, but today I have to make an exception.

Two major events forced Empress Dowager Xie to summon them.

However, they also respect the Empress Dowager Xie very much.

There's a reason for that.

On October 26, the fifth year of Jingding, Li Zong died, and Zhao Yu accepted the edict, that is, the emperor's throne. On the 27th, Empress Xie was the queen mother, and her birthday was Shou Chongjie.

But on the 29th, the chief executive and hundreds of civil and military officials went to the Xiangxi Hall to ask the Empress Dowager Xie to listen to the government, but the Empress Dowager Xie did not allow it.

This is a woman who knows the general situation, has no desire for exclusivity, and is not greedy for power.

At the beginning, Empress Dowager Yang's evaluation of her was correct.

It seems that women know women best, especially old women looking at another woman......

Empress Dowager Xie said: "The mourning family should not say much...... But it's about the fortunes of the country...... When will the Crystal Ball Formation be implemented? ”

The official Zhao Yu's originally pale little face was now extremely ruddy, showing a sickly state of health.

He looked at his master excitedly, hoping that he would be able to say that he would be able to ......

Jia Pingzhang Jia seemed to be proud, shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, don't worry, the official family will take care of this matter from beginning to end!"

I heard that the Yin Di An Guo is far away from the sea route, and there are countless monsters and monsters all the way, and there are also whale waves, and it is definitely not easy to come and go once...... Tomorrow, someone will find a credible person to start the errand, and strive to do it as quickly as possible...... Hehe, change the fortunes of the country, don't be in a hurry! ”

Empress Dowager Xie.

The official Zhao Yu took over and said, "Master, you can send the guards to go with you!" ”

Jia Pingzhang shook his head, and at this time, his beard trembled, and said: "Don't be anxious, this matter has been regarded as a major matter, and the guards may be available, but it is very ......useful."

The use of the forbidden army is a big matter, especially at this time.

The entire military system of the Song Dynasty was divided into forbidden army, box army, and township army.

The forbidden army is the central army, the most elite army, and its task is to defend the Beijing division and prepare for conquest; The Xiang army was a soldier at the state level, guarding the local town; Township soldiers are the most basic soldiers in the local area, selected or recruited from among the people, and thought that they were defending their positions.

In this way, the three-layer structure echoes each other, so that the inside and outside are dimensional, and the upper and lower are mutually controlled.

The military power of the Great Song Dynasty officials was grasped. Moreover, no matter where the forbidden army is, it must be led by a number of high-ranking generals, and it is not easy for them to communicate with each other at any time.

This method at least avoids the occurrence of another incident of yellow robes.

But when the Jin people invaded during the Northern Song Dynasty, they were defeated again and again, and the Jingkang Revolution captured the two officials as prisoners.

Therefore, the official Zhao Yu has to endure it now, and he also knows that this matter cannot be done in a hurry.

Empress Dowager Xie said slowly: "There are always people chattering about the Ezhou peace talks, and the mourning family is really helpless......

It's annoying, and the story is quite long.

In the summer of 1257, the most feared thing befell the emperor and his subjects.

The Mongol Khan Meng Ge ordered his brother Ali Buge to stay in Helin, and then drove his own army to attack the Song Dynasty in three ways. He himself personally led a large army to attack Sichuan; The other route was led by his brother Kublai Khan, and attacked Ezhou from Henan to the south, and the troops were directed at the Great Song Dynasty in Lin'an; The third route was Marshal Wuliang Hatai to attack Yongzhou from Yunnan, in an attempt to capture Tanzhou in a roundabout way, and to outflank and encircle Lin'an from three directions.

In the autumn of this year, Song Lizong urgently ordered Jia Yidao to be the privy envoy and ambassador of the two Huai Xuanfu, and began to command the front-line operations.

In the first month of the following year, Jia Nidao was appointed as the ambassador of Xuanfu in western Beijing, Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan, and supervised Jiangxi and Liangguang, which actually handed over all the military responsibilities and command power of the three battlefields to Jia Nidao.

Meng Ge's army was overwhelmed at first, but when it attacked Hezhou, also known as Diaoyu City, it encountered stubborn resistance.

From February to July 1259, the Mongol army attacked day and night, suffering heavy casualties, but the Diaoyu Castle remained impregnable. In a fit of rage, Meng Ke went to the front of the battle to supervise the army, but unexpectedly he was hit by an arrow and died violently in the military camp at the end of July.

In September, Kublai Khan's troops reached Huangpi north of the Yangtze River and were about to cross the river, when Prince Mu Ge sent an envoy from Hezhou to bring the news of Meng Ke's death and urged him to return to the north immediately to maintain the hearts of the government and the people.

Kublai Khan said, "I have been ordered to come south, but I will not return it in vain!" ”

He then ordered to cross the river, and the siege of Ezhou began the next day.

The report of the battle reached Lin'an, and the court was terrified.

The official family immediately issued an edict and appointed Jia Nidao as the right prime minister and privy envoy in the army, and all other positions remained the same, so that Jia Nidao quickly entered Hanyang and rushed to aid Ezhou.

In October, Jia Rudao entered the Weicheng Supervisor and personally commanded the defense of Ezhou.

The battle was fought more dramatically......

Relying on its strong combat effectiveness, the Mongolian army attacked for more than half a month, but the city of Ezhou did not move at all.

Seeing that the attack could not be overcome for a long time, Kublai Khan changed his strategy and ordered his troops to dig tunnels.

But digging tunnels in this time and space is easy for the defenders to know, because the groundwater level is too high to dig too deep, and the labor tools are extremely rudimentary, and the working speed can't be improved.

Jia Rudao saw the direction of their tunnel operation and ordered the soldiers to build a wooden fence, and overnight it was as if another "clamp city" had been built in the city.

When the Mongol army infiltrated the city through the tunnel, they found themselves in a dead end, becoming a turtle in an urn!

At that time, Jia Yidao brandished a shining sword and said proudly: "When so-and-so is a stupid thing? The stupid way to dig tunnels dares to use it? Stab and shoot someone! ”

The elite soldiers sent by the Mongol army were all killed in the alley, and they were all killed......

When Kublai Khan heard the news, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am as safe as a Taoist who uses it!" ”

The two also sympathized with each other.

By the time the battle lasted until November, the Ezhou defenders had suffered more than 13,000 casualties, and the Mongol army had left countless corpses outside the city

。 Kublai Khan's generals complained one after another, saying that it was all because they followed the advice of the scholars and forbade the slaughter of the captured cities in the previous wars, so that the Song people dared to resist stubbornly.

When Kublai Khan heard this, he was furious and said, "The defenders of the city are only one soldier and one person, and you cannot win with 100,000 people, and you cannot pull out the slaughter for months. ”

Subsequently, the Mongol army of the Southern Route arrived in Hunan in mid-November under the command of Uliang Hatai and began to storm Tanzhou, posing a new threat to Lin'an from the south.

The imperial court also urgently ordered the firefighter Jia Rudao to go to Huangzhou to organize the defense of the southern battlefield.

At the same time, Jia Rudao received the news of Meng Ge's death sent by Wang Jian of Hezhou.

As soon as he received the news, Jia Rudao realized that the opportunity to end this war had come.

He immediately sent his secret envoy Song Jing to the Mongol army camp, and verbally promised Kublai Khan to withdraw his troops on the condition that the Southern Song Dynasty would "give 200,000 yuan of silver and 200,000 silk per year" to the Mongols.

Coincidentally, on the same day, Kublai Khan also received an urgent letter from his concubine, saying that Ali Buge, who had stayed in Helin, had seized control of the imperial court and might inherit the throne at any time.

Kublai Khan then decided to withdraw his troops and sent his envoy Zhao Bi to Ezhou for further negotiations with Song Jing. Because Kublai Khan's heart is like an arrow, he specially told Zhao Bi to say: Rudeng City, you must see my flag, the flag moves, and you can return quickly.

After Zhao Bi landed in the city, he was anxious to see Jia Bidao, hoping to force him to agree to more peace conditions, such as "calling the minister" and "cutting the river as the boundary", etc., but at that time, Jia Bidao was already in Huangzhou, Zhao Bi only talked with Song Jing for a few words and found the signal that the Mongolian army was about to pull out the camp, so he reluctantly threw down a sentence, and asked it to reconsider it in the future, and then hurriedly returned with the army to the north.

So far, Ezhou and Tanzhou have been relieved of the siege, and the defense of Ezhou, which lasted more than 100 days, ended with the withdrawal of Mongolian troops and the holding of positions in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Jia Rudao immediately presented to the imperial court: "The roads are victorious, the siege of Hubei is solved, and the Jianghan is cleared." The sect is in danger and restored, and there is no rest for eternity! ”

Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed, and immediately issued a decree ordering Jia Nidao to return to the dynasty to accept the award with the title of young master and right prime minister.

After Jia Rudao returned to Lin'an, the Son of Heaven ordered a hundred officials to be rewarded in the suburbs, prepared a great honor, and rewarded him with a large amount of gold silk; The rest of the meritorious soldiers were also rewarded for their meritorious deeds.

For the rewards and honors given by the Son of Heaven, Jia Rudao is well-deserved. In the entire Ezhou defense war, he went deep into the front-line battlefield as a Zaifu, and fought bloodily with the Ezhou army and people from beginning to end, not only fulfilling the duties of a minister, but also showing the courage, resourcefulness and talent that a commander should have.

In this regard, Kublai Khan, as the commander of the enemy army, commented on Jia Nidao's two sentences is the best proof.

However, there was a small flaw at the end of this war, that is, the "Ezhou Peace Conference" incident that made people chatter endlessly.

Its essence is that the little rascal gave a face when the big robber left without any gain, and let him look a little good when he left, but everyone who has been in the rivers and lakes understands it in their hearts, but the righteous man and gentleman quit.

It seems that even if he really gave the big robber 200,000 yuan, what would happen; It seems like 200,000 yuan is a lot of money.

But the little rascal really didn't expect that the dignified bandit leader really didn't want to be embarrassed, and he really sent an envoy to ask him for it!

At that time, Jia Rudao was on fire, you don't want to force your face, you will play hooligan!

He locked up the envoy Hao Jing, 200,000 yuan, a certain family has it, damn it, he won't give it to you, give it face, you take it seriously......
