Chapter 32 Jingkang
Chapter 32 Jingkang
History books generally say that Song Qinzong was weak and incompetent, and after the first Battle of Tokyo, he dismissed Li Gang and other main battle factions, so it led to the later Bianjing being broken by the Jin soldiers, and Huiqin Erzong was also captured by the Jin soldiers and went to the Five Kingdoms City. www.biquge.info This statement cannot be said to be wrong, but Song Qinzong definitely didn't want to kneel and lick the gold man from the beginning.
"What?" Emperor Zhao Heng, who had been angry for the past two days, said angrily: "The soldiers in the division were defeated and died? ”
The little eunuch who came to report the news didn't dare to come out, but just lowered his head and looked at his shoes.
"How's that okay?" Zhao Heng muttered to himself and sat down on the chair. After losing his mind for a while, he became furious again, "Get out, get out, get out of here!" ”
The little eunuch listened to the emperor's words and hurriedly left. Previously, the emperor was still happily waiting for the good news from the front, and was happy that he had killed three birds with one stone, not only to repel the Jin soldiers, but also to consume the big tail of the Zhejia army, and by the way, knocked the other heads of the Western Army.
Myself.... How can I be so smart? The Emperor Taishang is really a waste material, with so many troops and so many ministers, he will be beaten down by the barbarians in the north to the city of Tokyo. This is simply a big joke in the world, if you can't do it, just change me! See how I turned things around and swept my enemies into the dustbin of history with one hand!
But what's going on now? The well-planned battle to relieve the siege of Taiyuan actually failed?
No, it must be all a rumor! It's a rumor spread by the Jin people's spies! I was commanded by heaven, how could I fail, how could I lose the battle? That's not right!
That's it, it's not me who is wrong, it's the world that's wrong!
By the way, there is also that Li Gang, and that Fang Yingkan, and that Zhuge Zhengme! These guys know what to say to drive out the Tartars and recover Yanyun, and now that they are recovering and recovering them, aren't they going to recover Tokyo City next?
The real strong man is naturally indomitable, even in front of the Yellow River, he will not die, and he will not shed tears when he sees the coffin. And Song Qinzong Zhao Heng, of course, will not be such a strong man. It is even said that in the entire Zhao and Song royal family, except for the boss who bullied other people's orphans and widows, there are few who are not soft-footed shrimp.
When the wind was smooth, Zhao Heng still seemed to have a bit of a bright atmosphere. But as soon as the situation deteriorated, his weak nature was exposed. Like Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, after running a lot of subordinates, he can still kill super gods, and there are few people in ancient and modern China and abroad.
Therefore, many people will assume that if Chai Rong hadn't died violently, maybe he would have been able to press Liao Guo to the ground and beat him violently. But this may also be the case, before Li Keyong completed the Jedi counter-killing, he was also "the hero of the world and can't be with it", and then he was actually killed by a few singers, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth.
Hypothesis is just hypothesis after all, maybe Chai Rong is another Li Keyong? But in any case, Chai Rong was much stronger than Zhao Lao Da when he was alive, and he was even higher than Zhao Lao Er, who fled for his life in a donkey cart.
After the end of the First Battle of Tokyo, the emperor was still very interested in Li Gang and their righteousness, and wanted to achieve a great cause. However, the battle of killing Xiongling shattered the little confidence that Zhao Heng had gathered so hard. Those soldiers of the King of Qin, whether they understand it or not, are known as hundreds of thousands, but they can't fight at all except for eating.
When fighting with the Jin soldiers in the field, hundreds of thousands of troops are often defeated by thousands of gold soldiers. Even if they defend the city, they often have to suffer heavy casualties to repel the Jin soldiers. Under such circumstances, Emperor Qinzong finally lost confidence in Li Gang and others, and sent these people far away.
By the way, like Tong Guan, and that Zhao Liangsi or something, they all ordered the emperor to cut off their heads. Cai Jing was born as a Jinshi, although his reputation was worse than Tong Guan's, but the emperor still couldn't cut him down by his own temperament. Even if he wanted to, the ministers would have sent the edict back.
The initiator, what is the aftermath? Once the precedent of killing civilian officials is set today, won't it be a mass murder in the future? This example must not be opened! As for Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi, one is a eunuch and the other is a Han from the north, so it doesn't matter, just kill them.
Half a year later, in the autumn of 1126, the Jin army invaded south by two routes, east and west. The Western Route Army broke through Taiyuan and crossed the river with victory; The Eastern Route Army captured Zhending. The two route armies besieged Kaifeng, and on the 25th of November, Kaifeng was broken.
Although Kaifeng was broken by the Jin army, the Kaifeng army and people were in a high mood to resist the enemy, and they immediately killed the Jin envoy who had come to negotiate peace the day before. The next day, 300,000 people received armor to resist the Jin soldiers, and when the Jin soldiers wanted to set fire to the city, the residents wanted to fight in the streets. The Jin army hurriedly built fortifications on the city walls to prevent the residents of Kaifeng from driving them out of the city. The Jin army occupied Kaifeng for 4 months, and after plundering it, it withdrew its troops to the north in April 1127, taking away all the prisoners and property including Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished, which is the so-called "Jingkang Difficulty" in the history of the Song Dynasty. ”
The resistance of the Song people was very high, but it was of little use. In the era of cold weapons, after the city wall was breached, there were very few people who relied on street battles to defeat their opponents. Moreover, even if they relied on street fighting to repel the enemy army, it was mostly because an elite field unit had joined the battlefield outside.
For example, in several battles between the Later Tang Dynasty and the Khitan, it was the reinforcements from the outside who could fight with the Khitans in the field and win the battle, which repelled the Khitans. And the current Song State, the economic division of the imperial court, was either collapsed in the process of attacking Yanyun twice, or lost in the process of the Jin soldiers going south.
By the time Bianliang was attacked for the second time, the whole country could no longer find an elite army that could fight with the Jin soldiers.
It's not entirely right to say this, such as Wang Yan's eight-character army, as well as some righteous armies in Hebei and Shandong, are still very capable of fighting. However, the spontaneously formed armies in these places were not much better than the Jin soldiers in the eyes of the imperial court. The golden man is a disaster, isn't it a disaster that the strong people who have swarmed in the local area?
How did the Han Dynasty fall? How did the Tang Dynasty fall? Isn't it all because the local forces are big, and then the central government is powerless to control them, and then they decline? The court of the Song Kingdom was full of smart people, and the thoughts of guarding against local generals were the same as guarding against the enemy.
Then in May, Zhao Gou was the emperor in Nanjing Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan), and changed the second year of Jingkang to the first year of Jianyan, he was Song Gaozong, and the history called the Song Dynasty as the Southern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of Gaozong's proclamation as emperor, he was forced by the serious situation threatened by the Jin army, and had to appoint the hopeful Li Gang as the prime minister. Li Gang believed that it was necessary to quickly combine the anti-Jin forces in various places to recover the lost territory, and recommended the veteran Zong Ze to stay in Kaifeng. However, Li Gang, who had been prime minister for 75 days, was quickly squeezed out by the capitulation faction Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, and the anti-gold measures were abolished.
