Chapter 207
The 14th person, Jin Guomeng's general Wanyan Zonghan, also known as Sticky Han, 99 in force, 99 in command, 84 in intelligence, and 80 in politics;
Wanyan Zonghan, whose original name was sticky and didn't drink, was mistaken for sticky Han in Chinese, and was the eldest son of the state minister Sagai. When he was seventeen years old, his bravery was admired in the army. When discussing the attack on the Liao Kingdom, Zong Han and Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda agreed with the meaning.
Wanyan Aguda defeated the Liao army at the border and captured Yelu Xie Shi. Sagai asked Zong Han and Wanyan Xiyin to come to congratulate the victory, and they celebrated with the title of emperor. Wan Yan Sheng's subordinate clan ministers all persuaded Yan Aguta to be the emperor, and Wan Yan Aguta was still humble.
Zong Han, Ah Liheyi, Pu Jianu and others said: "If you don't board the foundation in time, you won't be able to maintain the hearts of the people in the world." "It was only after Yan Aguta's opinion was decided. The Liao capital Yelu Liduo led more than 200,000 soldiers to guard the frontier, Wanyan Aguta led the army to meet the attack, and Zong Han was the right army, and defeated the Liao army in the ancient city of Dalu.
In April of the fifth year of Tianfu (1121), Wanyan Zonghan said: "The Liao lord has lost his virtue, and the hearts of the people inside and outside the court have deviated. Although the great cause has been decided, the root cause has not been eliminated, and it will inevitably become a disaster in the future. Now take advantage of their gap to attack and capture. This is a godsend, something to do, and not to be missed. β
Wanyan Aguta agreed with his words, and ordered all armies to prepare for war. On May 5, a willow shooting was held to entertain the ministers. Wanyan Agu turned back to Zong Han and said, "Now that we are discussing the matter of the Western Expedition, most of the plans you put forward before and after are in line with my intentions. Although there are people older than you in the royal family, if a marshal is appointed, no one can replace you. Put your armies in order and wait for the time when they will be raised. Wanyan Aguta personally poured him wine, ordered him to drink it dry, and took off his royal clothes for him to wear. The ministers said that the season had just begun to heat and stopped. Not long after, Zong Han made a move to the extreme, and as the deputy general of Pu Jianu, he went west to attack the Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, but in the end he did not succeed.
In November of the same year, Wanyan Zonghan again pleaded: "The armies have been stationed for a long time, the people are eager to try, and the horses are very strong, so we should take advantage of this time to enter Zhongjing." The ministers said that the climate was cold, and Wanyan didn't listen, and finally adopted Zong Han's strategy. As a result, Kulubo Jilie Gao commanded all the military horses inside and outside, Pu Jianu, Zong Han, Zong Gan, and Zong Pan as deputy generals, and Zong Jun concurrently served as Hezha Meng'an, all of whom accepted the gold medal, and Yu Jian as a guide, attacking Zhongjing, that is, Beijing. After conquering Zhongjing, Zong Han led part of his army to Bei'anzhou, where he joined forces with the armies of Lou Room and Tudanxuanli, and defeated Xi Wang Xiamo, and Bei'an Prefecture surrendered.
Zong Han garrisoned in Bei'an, sent Yan Xiyin to manage the nearby area, and captured the Liao State guard Yelu Xi Nilie, so he learned that Yelu Yanxi was hunting in Mandarin Duck and killed his son Ao Luhu, the king of Jin, and his subordinates were even more disobedient, and the soldiers and horses in the northwest and southwest were very weak and could not be called. Zonghan sent Wendu and Yirabao to report to the capital Gao: "The Liao lord is in a critical situation in Shanxi, but he is still hunting, he is not aware of the danger, and he kills his son, and his subjects are very disappointed. Capture his strategy, hoping to be quickly instructed. If there is a different suggestion, you can send a non-main force to conquer here. β
Gao Pai Benjian came back with Yi Rabao and reported: "I have just received the holy decree, and I ordered not to rush to Shanxi immediately, but to inspect it in detail and deliberate slowly. "When Zong Han sent someone to report to Gao, he had already reorganized the army and waited for the date of the army. When Yu Jian came, he knew that Gao had no intention of entering the army, and Zong Han was afraid that he might lose the fighter when Gao decided, so he decided to enter the army. He sent the transfer of Pabao to report to the capital again: "Although the order was not given to attack Shanxi immediately, it was also allowed to act according to the situation.
The situation in which the Liao people can be captured can already be seen, and once the opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to do it in the future. Now that I have marched into the army, I should join the army somewhere, and I hope to give you a reply. Zong Gan persuaded Gao to follow Zong Han's strategy, and Gao made up his mind and agreed to meet and negotiate in Xiwangling.
Zong Han came to Xiwangling and met with Du Tonggao. Gao sent troops from Qingling, and Zong Han sent troops from Huangling, and agreed to meet at Yangchengluo. Zong Han led 6,000 elite soldiers to attack Yelu Yanxi, and when he heard that Yelu Yanxi came to resist from the Five Courtyards, Zong Han doubled his journey and arrived after only one night, and Yelu Yanxi fled. Zong Han sent Xi Yin and others to pursue.
Xijing rebelled again, Geng Shouzhong led 5,000 soldiers to the rescue, and when he reached a place forty miles east of the city, Pucha Wulie and Gu Chipi attacked him first, killing more than 1,000 people. Zong Han, Zong Xiong, Zong Gan, and Zong Jun arrived one after another, and Zong Han led his men to attack the center of the enemy army, and asked the other soldiers to dismount and fire arrows on the side. Geng Shouzhong was defeated, and his army was annihilated. Zong Han's younger brother Zabaodi was killed in battle. During the Tianjuan years, Wanyan Agu was awarded Zha Baodi as a special advance.
After Zong Han pacified and pacified the tribes of Xiluzhou County, he went to the king's residence to pay a visit, and then followed Wanyan Aguda to attack Yanjing. After Yanjing was pacified, Wanyan Aguda rewarded Zong Han, Xi Yin, Tart Lazy, Yelu Yujian and others with different amounts of gold objects. Wanyan Aguta has already given Yanjing to the people of the Song Dynasty, and the Hui soldiers are stationed in Yuanyangluo, and they are about to return to Beijing when they are sick. Appointed Zong Han as the commander, and Zhan Bo Ji Lie Yu and Diebo Ji Lie Hulu as the deputy commanders, garrisoning troops in the clouds.
In the seventh year of Tianfu (1123), Wanyan Agu died, Wanyan Sheng ascended the throne, and issued an edict to Zong Han, saying: "Give you the power of a region, and if there are people who should be promoted to official positions, you can appoint them as you like." So he gave him a vacant place of one hundred heads. The people of the Song Dynasty came to ask for the cession of the city, and Zong Han reported to the two prefectures of Tuwu and Shuo, and requested: "The Song people do not send back the defectors of our army, blocking the road to and from Yanshan, and they will definitely destroy the covenant in the future, and ask not to cede the counties of Shanxi." Wan Yan Sheng said: The first emperor once promised that it should be ceded to them. β
The generals captured Yelu Marge, and Zong Han brought him back to Jingshi. Wan Yan Sheng issued an edict to reward 700 horses to Zonghan's army, and gave 1,000 stone of grain seeds and 7,000 stone of rice to the newly returned people. The edict said: "The newly attached people, when the farming season is busy, divide the land for them to live in." "Zong Han asked for the division of Zongwang, Tart, and Shi Gu Nai's elite troops to conquer the various tribes.
Wan Yan Sheng's edict said: "Zongwang's army cannot be separated, and he will be given another 5,000 elite soldiers." Zong Han pilgrimage to the mausoleum of Taizu, entered the palace to see the king, and said: "When the first emperor was alive, the Han officials and generals of the various tribes in Shanxi and Nanjing were appointed according to the emperor's orders. "Wanyan Sheng's edict said: "All act in accordance with the holy decree issued by the first emperor in Yanjing, and for you, you must be promoted according to your hard work and merits." β
Zong Han also said: "When the first emperor first conquered the Liao State, he hoped that the Song Dynasty would be able to attack together, so he gave them the land of Yan. After the Song people made an alliance, they proposed to increase the money in exchange for the towns of Shanxi, but the first emperor refused to allow the increase in money. The letter of the covenant says: 'Do not harbor fugitives, lure and harass the inhabitants of the border.' Now several areas of the Song Dynasty have recruited defectors and rewarded them handsomely.
Several times he recorded the names of the defectors, asked Tong Guan for them, and once set a date and wrote an oath, but to no avail. The covenant has been less than a year, and now it is like this, is there any hope that the covenant will be kept for all eternity? Moreover, there is no tranquility in the western frontier, and the cession of the counties in Shanxi will cause the armies to lose their strongholds, and if there is a plan in the future, it may be difficult to last, so please let Your Majesty keep these places and do not cede them. Wan Yan Sheng all obeyed Zong Han's request.
Wanyan Sheng because of Zong Han's defeat of the Liao army, prompted Xia Guo to present a table to claim himself a vassal, and greatly appreciated his exploits, and gave ten horses, let Zong Han choose two by himself, and give the rest to each general.
Later, he reported that the Song Dynasty did not send the New Year's currency account, and said that he wanted to change the covenant and could not be unguarded. Taizong ordered Zong Han to take all kinds of household registrations and ask for New Year's coins according to their registration. Yan Mu once again said that the Song people had broken the covenant, and Zong Han and Zong Wang jointly requested to attack the Song Dynasty. As a result, Tan Ban Bo Ji Lie Gao concurrently served as the marshal of the capital, lived in Beijing, and Zong Han served as the left deputy marshal, and sent troops from Taiyuan Road to attack the Song Dynasty.
Zong Han set out from Heyin, then surrendered Shuozhou, conquered Daizhou, and besieged Taiyuan Fu. The 40,000 troops of Hedong and Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty came to the rescue of Taiyuan, but were defeated north of the Fen River, killing more than 10,000 people. Zong Wang rushed to Bianzhou from Hebei, but he couldn't hear the news for a long time, so he left Yinshuke and others to besiege Taiyuan, and Zong Han led the army south.
In the fourth year of Tianhui (1126), Zonghan Pingding recruited the counties and the Weisheng army, and captured Longde Mansion, that is, Luzhou. When the army arrived in Zezhou, the envoys of the Song Dynasty came to the barracks, and Zong Han knew about the three towns and the peace. Lu Yundi brought the edict of the Song Dynasty to cede Taiyuan, but the people of Taiyuan did not accept the edict. Zong Han captured Wenshui and Yuxian, and left Yinshu Ke to besiege Taiyuan. Zong Han returned to Shanxi.
Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong induced Xiao Zhonggong to write a letter to Yelu Yujian, impressing him with the words of reviving the Liao State Sheji. Xiao Zhonggong presented a letter, and Wan Yansheng issued an edict to attack the Song Dynasty again. In August, Zong Han set off from Xijing. On September 3, Zong Han conquered Taiyuan and captured Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and others. The Hushahu captured Pingyao and surrendered Lingshi, Jiexiu, Xiaoyi and other counties. On November 3, Zong Han rushed from Taiyuan to Bianjing to defeat the Weisheng army, attacked Klondefu, and then occupied Zezhou.
Sarata and others had already broken through the Tianjing Pass first, advanced to Heyang, defeated tens of thousands of Song soldiers, and surrendered the cities of the Song soldiers. Zong Han attacked Huaizhou and broke through the city. On the 26th, the army crossed the Yellow River. In leap November, Zong Han arrived in Bianzhou and joined Zong Wang's army. The Song Dynasty agreed to draw the Yellow River as the boundary, and once again asked for peace and repair. Speaking and not succeeding. On the 25th, Yinshuke and others captured Bianzhou.
On the 30th, Song Qinzong came to the army and abandoned Qingcheng. On December 2, Song Qinzong presented a surrender table. Wan Yan Sheng's edict to the Marshal's Mansion said: "For those who have made meritorious contributions to the generals, they will be rewarded according to their merits. For those who died in battle and died for the great cause of the royal family, their families should be generously compensated, and the knighthood must be given favorites. Wan Yan Sheng sent Mao Li to the army to reward Zong Han and Zong Wang, and asked him to shake each of their hands to express condolences.
In April of the fifth year of Tianhui (1127), Zong Han and others returned north with the army with the two monarchs of the Song Dynasty and more than 470 people from their clans, as well as Wang Guizhang, treasure seals, crowns, vehicles, sacrificial vessels, musical instruments, spiritual platforms, books and other items. In July, Wan Yansheng gave Zong Han an iron coupon, and no one except the rebels was asked. In addition, he gave Zong Han a rich reward.
Zong Han said that the prefectures and prefectures of Hebei and Hedong requested that capable and virtuous people from among the former officials be selected and appointed to appease the newly annexed people. Wanyan Sheng sent Ye Luhui and others to go with Zong Han, and ordered Huanglongfu Road, South Road, and Tokyo Road to select people like Ye Luhui among their subordinates to send them together. Zong Han rushed to Luoyang. Dong Zhi of the Song Dynasty led his troops to Zhengzhou, and Zhengzhou rebelled again.
Zonghan sent generals to attack Dong Zhi's army and reoccupy Zhengzhou. After that, Zong Han moved the residents of Luoyang, Xiangyang, Yingchang, Ru, Zheng, Jun, Fang, Tang, Deng, Chen, Cai and other places to Hebei, and sent Lou to pacify Shaanxi Prefecture. At this time, there were still many bandits and thieves in the east of the river, so Zong Han left soldiers separately, stationed on both sides of the river, and returned to Shanxi by himself. Song Huizong wrote a letter saying: "Please make the Zhao family the ruler, let him serve his position and make contributions to governance, and the people will be happy, which is the benefit of all eternity." Zong Han received his letter but did not reply.
Zhao Gou sent Wang Shizheng to receive the book and secretly write a letter to lure the Khitans and Han Chinese. These letters were harvested and presented to Wan Yan Sheng. Wan Yan Sheng issued an edict to crusade against Zhao Gou. The generals of Hebei wanted to stop attacking Shaanxi and join forces to go south. The generals of Hedong disagreed, saying: "Shaanxi and Western Xia are close neighbors, and they have a great relationship, so they cannot withdraw troops." β
Zong Han said: "At the beginning, he made an appointment with the Western Xia Kingdom to attack the Song people, but the Western Xia did not agree. And Yelu Dashi was in the northwest, and interacted with Western Xia. If I abandon Shaanxi and go to Hebei to join the army, they must think that I am in trouble. Hebei is not worth worrying about, it should deal with Shaanxi first, pacify the Five Roads, weaken Western Xia, and then attack the Song Dynasty. β
Zong Han probably intended to talk to the Xia people, and after discussing for a long time and couldn't make a decision, he asked Yan Sheng, and Yan Sheng said: "For Kang Wanggou, you should find the place where he is and go after him." When the Song Dynasty was pacified, people like Zhang Bangchang should be set up as vassal auxiliaries. The area on the right side of Shaanxi cannot be left aside without attacking. So Lou Mu and Pu Cha led the army, and Shenguo and Bolu Huojian fought and captured Shaanxi. Yinshu can be stationed in Taiyuan, and Yelu Yu can stay in Xijing.
Zong Han rendezvous with the Eastern Army at Liyangjin and then with Ruizong at Pu. Entering Dongping, the prefect of the Song Dynasty, Quan Bangyan, abandoned his home and fled at night, and Zong Han surrendered Dongping City and garrisoned fifty miles southeast of Dongping. and captured Xuzhou. Before this, the gold coins transported by the Song people from the Yangtze River and the Huai River were in the official treasury of Xuzhou, and at this time, they were all obtained by Zong Han and distributed to the various armies.
Raid Qingfu came to surrender. Liu Yu, the governor of Jinan in the Song Dynasty, surrendered the city to the tart lazy. Zonghan sent Bali Su, Wulin Datai Desire, and Ma Wu to Yangzhou to attack King Kang, and before going out of 150 miles, Ma Wu led 500 cavalry to Yangzhou City first. When King Kang heard that the soldiers were coming, he had already crossed the river on the first day. At this time, King Kang wrote a letter requesting that the Zhao family be preserved.
Prior to this, King Kang had written to the Marshal's Office, saying that "the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty wrote to the Marshal in front of the tent", and at this time, he lowered the trumpet, claiming that "King Kang of the Song Dynasty wrote to His Excellency the Marshal". The same is true of the two letters he wrote in April and July. The marshal's office replied to his letter and beckoned him to surrender. At this time, Tart Lazy, Zong Bi, Pull Out Su, Ma Wu and others went south by different routes.
Zong Bi's army crossed the river to attack Jiankang and entered Hangzhou, Zhao Gou took a boat into the sea, Ali, Pu Luhun and others traveled 300 miles from Mingzhou to the sea, but did not catch up with Zhao Gou. Zong Bi then returned to the army. After that, Zong Han wanted to appoint Xu Wen to plan the conquest of Jiangnan, but Ruizong and Zong Bi did not agree with each other, so they gave up. Guide to Germany rebelled, and the capital was sent to pacify.
In the tenth year of Tianhui (1132), Zong Han returned, Wan Yansheng suffered a stroke and was bedridden, and the crown prince Chen Ban Bo Ji Lie Xian Ye (Gao) had also been dead for two years, Zong Pan thought that he was the eldest son of Taizong, and Jin Taizong had no intention of setting up others. Zong Han sought to set up the young Wanyan Agu to beat his grandson Hera (Wanyan δΊΆ), which was easy to make at a young age. Then he discussed with his henchman Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Zonggan (Hela's adoptive father), and jointly spoke to Taizong, and said it again and again. Taizong took this as the ancestral law, and Zong Han and others were all ministers, and they could not be taken away, so they obeyed it, so they established a joint alliance to understand the banbo extremely. He was later known as Kim Heejong.
After that, Zonghan's power in the Central Plains region further developed, and its strength could even rival that of the imperial court. During his lifetime, Wan Yan Sheng tried to limit and seize some of the power of the Marshal's Mansion controlled by Zong Han. In August of the 11th year of the Tianhui, an edict was issued to seize the right to appoint officials in the Marshal's Palace, and it was selected by the imperial court.
In the first month of the thirteenth year of Tianhui (1135), Jin Xizong ascended the throne, and with the assistance of Wanyan Zonggan and others, he abolished the Bo Ji Lie system of the imperial court and changed to the three-province system, and used the military power of Yi Zonghan's faction to phase it.
Removed Zong Han from the position of the right pole of the state and the marshal of the capital, appointed the Taibao, Shang Shuling, and the three provincial affairs, and was crowned the king of Jin, ranking below Zong Pan and Zong Gan.
Wanyan Xiyin was dismissed from the post of the marshal's right supervisor and reappointed as the left prime minister and servant of Shangshu. Gao Qingyi was dismissed from his post in Xijing and reappointed as Shangshu Zuocheng. Xiao Qing was dismissed from his post as Pingyang Yin and reappointed as Shangshu Youcheng. As for Han Qi, he was first summoned to Beijing in the Taizong Dynasty and was appointed as the right prime minister of Shangshu. At this point, Zong Han and his henchmen lost their military power, and left the North China region under their control, and were completely hollowed out.
Two years later, Jin Xizong beheaded Gao Qingzi for embezzlement, and many of Zonghan's cronies were included. Zong Han, who was irritable by nature, sat back and watched his henchmen and cronies being killed, unable to do anything, and died of anger before a month at the age of 58. After his death, in addition to Han Qixian, his henchmen were dismissed and killed one after another.
Zong Han was regarded as the first hero of the founding of the country by the monarchs of the Jin Dynasty, after his death, Xizong posthumously named him the king of the Zhou and Song dynasties, the king of Hailing named him the king of Jinyuan County, Shizong changed the gift to the king of Qin, and reburied Sagai, Zong Han in the southwest of the emperor's tomb twenty miles.
