Shi Jingjiao heard that An Chongrong rebelled, and Ren Tianping Jiedu made Du Chongwei the envoy, An Guo Jiedu made Ma Quanjie the deputy envoy, and the former Yongqing Jiedu made Wang Qing as the horse Budu Yu Hou and led the army to suppress it.

On December 13, 941, the Liang army met in Zongcheng, An Chongrong swaggered in the glaive array, the official army repeatedly attacked, An Chongrong town did not move, Du Chongwei was afraid, and was about to retreat, the commander Wang Chongyin admonished: "The most taboo for those who use soldiers is to retreat halfway, An Chongrong's Zhenzhou elite are in the Chinese army, please send sharp men to attack his left and right wings, Chongyin will attack his Chinese army with Khitan soldiers for you, he will be embarrassed." ”

After hearing this, Du Chongwei calmed down a little, and then acted according to the plan. At first, An Chongrong and Zhao Yanzhi, a native of Shenzhou, were both loose commanders, and the relationship between the two was very harmonious.

After An Chongrong became the envoy of the Chengde Festival, Zhao Yanzhi came from Kansai to attach himself to him, An Chongrong treated him well on the surface, but he was very suspicious of him in his heart, and when he raised troops to rebel, he was only given a position as a platoon envoy, and Zhao Yanzhi was very dissatisfied. At this time, seeing that the array of Zhenzhou soldiers had retreated slightly, Zhao Yanzhi immediately surrendered.

The armor saddles of Zhao Yanzhi's troops were all decorated with silver, and the officers and soldiers saw that they were interested in money, slaughtered the surrendered army, and plundered the property.

When An Chongrong heard of Zhao Yanzhi's rebellion, he was terrified and retreated to hide in the baggage team. The officers and troops followed closely and took the opportunity to attack, and the Zhenzhou soldiers were defeated and beheaded more than 15,000 ranks. An Chongrong saw that the general trend had gone, gathered the remnants, retreated to Zongcheng, the official army attacked again, and Zongcheng was captured again in the evening.

An Chongrong had to flee back to Zhenzhou with more than ten horsemen in a panic, driving the people to guard the city in order to make a final struggle. On the second day of the first month of the first month of 942, An Chongrong's generals led the official army into the city from the Shuinian Gate in the west of the city, killing more than 20,000 people defending the city.

An Chongrong led hundreds of cavalry of the Tuhun tribe to defend Yacheng, and soon the city was broken and captured, and Du Chongwei cut off his head and presented it to the imperial court. Shi Jingjiao ordered someone to paint An Chongrong's head and send it to the Khitan. Soon, the imperial court issued an order to change Zhenzhou to Hengzhou, and change it to the German army to the Shunguo army.

Speaking of the Xiangyang battlefield, Gao Xing attacked Xiangzhou for more than a year, but failed to capture it.

The city ran out of food, and its vitality was greatly damaged. Fengguo's army waited for Wang Qing to Gao Xing Zhou and said: "The thief city is already in danger. Our soldiers and horses are also exhausted, so if we don't force him sooner, what are we waiting for! He commanded Liu Ci to lead the soldiers to the city.

In August 942, the city of Xiangzhou was broken, and An Congjin led the whole clan to self-immolate. The officers captured his son An Hongshou and his 43 generals and sent them to the capital, where Jing Jiao ascended the castle tower to accept prisoners of war, and then beheaded them all after parading them through the streets. Soon, Xiangyang was relegated to defense.

"I bet with my life, I bet with my life. I'm here to love you. It is possible to bet with life. Do you know that I have such a heart? Always thinking about your heart, do you understand? In order to love you, I can bet with my life ......" ("Bet on Life") If the word "Jiangshan" is added in front of the lyrics, will it better express the voice of the rebels? It's just that as soon as the gambling game opens, you have to admit defeat and surrender your life.

Capitulationism

On June 13, 942, Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, died. Summarize Shi Jingjiao's life. It can be roughly divided into two stages, before becoming emperor. Brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, and the official side is also very effective and commendable.

However, in order to obtain the throne, the sixteen states of Youyun were ceded to the Khitan, so that the Central Plains were exposed to the Khitan iron cavalry for a long time, so that the Song Dynasty was weak, and it also opened the opportunity for the north (Liao, Jin, Mongolia) to attack the Central Plains for a long time.

and he confessed the thief as his father. He was willing to sink into the emperor, but he made a wrong step and suffered for life, only increasing the laughter of the world.

It's just that I don't agree with the statement that later historians called Shi Jingjiao a traitor. Because Shi Jingjiao himself is a Shatuo person. If you are not Han, where do you start with the so-called traitors?

Shi Jingjiao died, and his father, Yelude, dropped out of the court and lazy for seven days to mourn, and then sent someone to cry fiercely in front of his spirit.

Of course, the civil and military officials who have been accustomed to eating with many emperors are not too sad, in their eyes, whoever becomes the emperor is the same, and they are just a part-time worker.

The next step is to think about who to continue to hang out with. Shi Jingjiao had six sons before his death, one son died early, the second son was killed by Li Congke, and the second son was killed by the rebel general Zhang Congbin, only the youngest son Shi Chongrui was alive, but Shi Chongrui was young at the time and could not take on the responsibility alone. When Shi Jingjiao was seriously ill, one morning, he summoned Feng Dao alone for questioning.

After Feng Dao entered, Shi Jingjiao asked Shi Chongrui to come out to meet Feng Dao, and ordered the eunuch to hold Shi Chongrui and put him in Feng Dao's arms.

Shi Jingjiao wanted to be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Feng Dao was unwilling to be Huo Guang. In Feng Dao's opinion, Shi Chongrui is just a little doll, and someone has to serve him when he and pee, how can he cure the world?

Moreover, Huo Guang was a military general at that time, powerful and powerful, and could take on a big role alone, while Feng Dao was just a civil servant, surrounded by strong enemies, but he had no soldiers and no generals, and if he was not careful, he would be in a different place.

Even if Shi Chongrui is hard-lived and can live a few more years in the troubled times, but when he grows up, he is still unknown in the world, and his support will not be rewarded until more than ten years later, which is really not cost-effective, take 10,000 steps back, even if he can live to that age,

Think about what happened to the Huo Guang clan at that time...... All in all, he is Bole, but Shi Chongrui is not the Maxima in his eyes.

The person Feng Dao has a crush on is Shi Zhonggui. Shi Chonggui is Shi Jingjiao's nephew, his father Shi Jingru died early, Shi Jingjiao loves this poor child very much,

Always take him with you and regard him as your own. It is recorded in the history books that Shi Chonggui was cautious in his words and deeds when he was young, simple and pure, good at galloping horses and archery, quite the style of Shatuo's ancestors.

According to the understanding of the Spring and Autumn Period's penmanship, this seemingly positive comment actually says that Shi Chonggui is an honest and honest person, more wooden, and not very shrewd.

In 936, Shi Jingjiao raised troops in Jinyang to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and the Later Tang army besieged Taiyuan. Shi Chonggui or made suggestions, or risked arrows to resist the enemy, he had a clear eye, and was greatly appreciated by Shi Jingjiao.

Later, Shi Jingjiao used the Khitan soldiers to defeat the Later Tang army and left Taiyuan to go to Luoyang to seize the throne. Before leaving, he handed over the rear revolutionary base to Shi Chonggui, and gave him the position of staying in Beijing, Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, inspecting Situ, and Xingtaiyuanyin, and taking charge of the internal section of Hedong to observe things. Shi Chonggui has many official titles, but his political achievements are mediocre and "not popular".

Despite this, he was favored by his uncle. Before Shi Jingjiao's death in the seventh year of Tianfu (942), Shi Chonggui had entered the king of Qi and served as a servant.

Feng Dao asked for advice from the envoy of the balance festival and the guard Ma Budu, and waited for Jing Yanguang to ask for advice. Jing Yanguang, whose name is Hangchuan, is a native of Sanmenxia, Henan, and was a powerful figure in the court at that time.

His father, Jing Jian, is good at archery. Under his father's words and deeds, Jing Yanguang's archery skills are also outstanding, and his arm strength is outstanding, and he uses a hard bow.

Born in troubled times, joining the army is the only way out, Jing Yanguang, like everyone else at that time, also joined the army to seek a future, but his experience in the army was more bumpy. In the beginning, he served in Zhu Youxue's army stationed in Shaanxi in Later Liang. Later, Zhu Youzhi caused trouble due to rebellion, and Jing Yanguang avoided the disaster. He fled to Huazhou General Yin Hao to make a living, and soon served in Wang Yanzhang's army.

In a fierce battle between the Later Liang and the banks of the Yellow River with the Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Liang army was defeated, and Jing Yanguang was seriously wounded, and finally fled back to the capital Bianzhou.

After the fall of the Later Liang, Jing Yanguang was absorbed by the Tang Army. When Li Siyuan ascended the throne, Zhu Shouyin, the guard general of Bianzhou, did not obey Li Siyuan's orders. As a result, it was brutally suppressed, and unfortunately Jing Yanguang was also in Zhu Shouyin's army, so he was implicated and had to be executed.

Shi Jingjiao was the deputy envoy of the Sixth Army at the time, responsible for dealing with the rebels. After seeing Jing Yanguang, he sympathized with him very much, so he released him, put him under his account, and became his subordinate general.

Later, when Shi Jingjiao was proclaimed emperor, the Later Tang Dynasty sent Zhang Jingda to lead 50,000 heavy troops to besiege Taiyuan, Shi Jingjiao let him participate in the military, and Jing Yanguang made great achievements for the consolidation of the Later Jin Dynasty.

When Shi Jingjiao was officially proclaimed emperor, he also entrusted Jing Yanguang with an important task, making him the commander of the guards and infantry troops, and later transferred to various places, and was promoted to the commander of the guards and pro-army, becoming Shi Jingjiao's confidant general.

Feng Jing and the two hit it off, and immediately convened the important ministers of the court, and after consultation, everyone reached a consensus to support the twenty-eight-year-old Shi Chonggui to inherit the unification and be known as the emperor.

Shi Chonggui's ability is average, but he is bold, and at the beginning of his reign, he did two major things that shocked the government and the opposition.

The first is to marry his own sister-in-law. When Shi Jingjiao was alive, he loved his little brother Shi Chongyin very much and raised him as a son.

Later, when he was guarding Yedu, he married Qiao, the daughter of the deputy left-behind, as his wife. It's a pity that Shi Chongyin's life is thin, he died young, he is not blessed to enjoy the joy of Qi people, Mrs. Feng is widowed, and she is very beautiful, Shi Chonggui, who was the king of Qi at the time, was shocked when he saw it, and the ethical norms immediately collapsed in his heart.

On the day of the wedding, all the ministers came to congratulate, and Shi Chonggui said to Feng Dao and others: "In accordance with the order of the Queen Mother, the same secretary will not hold a big celebration." ”

After the ministers withdrew, Shi Chonggui and Mrs. Feng continued to drink and talk, and when they passed by Shi Jingjiao's corpse, Shi Chonggui shook his head and prayed with the strength of the wine: "The order of the Queen Mother, the same emperor will not do Daqing." After listening to it, Shi Chonggui was also amused by his own spirit of entertaining himself, and said to the people on the left and right: "I became a new son-in-law today, how about it?" After hearing this, Mrs. Feng laughed heartily.

The second thing is to change the national policy and adjust the attitude towards the Khitan. Shi Jingjiao relied on the power of the Khitan to build the country, and after the founding of the country, he dedicated the sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan according to the agreement, and then he was even more obedient to the Khitan, very cautious, and used a table every time he wrote a letter, so as to show that the monarch and the minister were different, calling Yelu Deguang "father emperor", calling himself "minister", and "child emperor".

Whenever the Khitan envoys arrived, they bathed and changed their clothes, respectfully worshiped and accepted the edict, in addition to losing 300,000 cloth silk every year, every auspicious celebration will give curious things from time to time, so that the team of people who play curious and strange has been given to the Tao.

But Shi Chonggui is different, he has not received the favor of the Khitan, he feels that Yelu Deguang is only ten years older than himself, but he has become his grandfather, I don't know how many heroes and heroes in the world are laughed at, and he can't hang up on face, so he is anxious to get rid of the messy "kinship" relationship with the Khitan.

Soon after Shi Chonggui ascended the throne, the ministers of the court discussed to report the mourning of the death of the first emperor to the Khitan.

Li Songzuo objected: "What is there to be ashamed of stooping to do things for the sake of the country!"

If Your Majesty does this, he will inevitably end up wearing armor and going to fight with the Khitan in person, and it will be useless to regret it at that time. ”

Jing Yanguang insisted on his own opinion, argued with reason, and everyone asked Feng Dao's opinion again, but Feng Dao's old fritters were vague, flickering, noncommittal, Shi Chonggui finally listened to Jing Yanguang's opinion. When Yelu Deguang received the letter, he was furious and sent a messenger to question him, saying, "Why don't you come first to make a confession, and then you will suddenly become emperor?" ”

Jing Yanguang didn't scare him either, and replied to him very unceremoniously. Previously, Heyang Ya sent Qiao Rong to the Khitan with Zhao Yanshou, and the Khitan appointed him as a Hui Tu envoy, selling trade between the Khitan and the Jin realm, and set up an official residence in Kyoto Daliang.

At this time, Jing Yanguang persuaded Shi Chonggui to detain Qiao Rong and raid his house. Then he killed all the Khitans who were trading in the Jin Kingdom and seized all their goods. After the ministers found out, they all said that the Khitan had made great achievements and could not be disappointed. Soon Shi Chonggui released Qiao Rong and asked him to return to the Khitan.

Qiao Rong advertised to Jing Yan, and Jing Yanguang said big words: "Go back and tell your master that the first emperor Gaozu was supported by the Northern Dynasty, so he is a minister to you." The current emperor was established by the Central Plains themselves, and the reason why he lowered his status to the Northern Dynasty was precisely because he did not dare to forget that the first emperor had made an alliance with the Northern Dynasty. It is enough to call Sun, and there is no reason to call the Northern Dynasty a vassal.

The emperor of the Northern Dynasty did not listen to Zhao Yanshou's deception and bullied the Central Plains. The soldiers and horses of the Central Plains, you saw it with your own eyes.

If Zu Weng is angry and invades, his grandson has 100,000 sharp swords, which are enough to treat each other. In the future, if you are defeated by your grandson and made fun of by the world, don't regret it! Qiao Rong was worried that he would lose the goods and money and go back to be convicted, and wanted to obtain evidence for the future, so he said: "What you said is too much, I am afraid that I will forget and say it completely, I hope you will record what you said in paper and ink." ”

Jing Yanguang asked his subordinates to write down his words and hand them to Qiao Rong, and Qiao Rong took the evidence and told Yelu Deguang about the situation.

When Jerod saw this, he was furious and decided to invade the Central Plains. After that, all the envoys of the Jin State came to the Khitan, and they were all arrested and imprisoned in Youzhou, and they could not see Yelu Deguang.

Sang Weihan repeatedly asked Shi Chonggui to apologize to the Khitan, but was often blocked by Jing Yanguang. Shi Chonggui was favored by Jing Yanguang because of his meritorious service, and Jing Yanguang was in charge of the palace guards, so the ministers of the court did not dare to argue with him. At this point, left-leaning adventurism was established as a national policy. (To be continued......)
