Longxing and the Parliament
When the news came, Zhao Tuan was furious. He remembered Zhang Jun's summary of the Jin people's peace negotiation: "If Jin is strong, he will come, and if he is weak, he will stop, and he is not in harmony and discord"! It is not a country that stresses faith and righteousness at all, especially the recent case of Wanyan Liang's destruction of the treaty and southern invasion is not far away, how could he be dizzy for a moment and listen to the rhetoric of Tang Sihui and others?
In the face of the Jin army's attack, Zhao Tuan swore that "I will be killed by the country, and I can't obey it", even if the country is destroyed, don't try to threaten me to obey the Jin country! He ordered all the military horses to go to the front line immediately, and all the gifts and gold silks brought by the envoys were rewarded to the soldiers!
But the order is issued, and the front line does not carry it out at all!
You can betray you by collaborating with the enemy, and you still want to be able to listen to orders and ruin the previous arrangement? What a brain-dead extravagant hope! There is evidence that at this moment, Zhao Tuan did not know who the person who really betrayed him was, and he didn't even know that he had been framed by the enemy country in front of him. He just resisted violently and violently, and he wanted to fight back at any cost!
On the 7th, Zhao Yan deprived Tang Si of his post as governor of the capital and quickly recalled former Prime Minister Chen Kangbo. On the 9th, Yang Cunzhong was ordered to supervise the Jianghuai front-line military horses. On the 10th, Tang Siwei was removed from his position, stripped of his title, and sent to Yongzhou for control!
Not only Zhao Tuan was furious, but all those who had blood in the world were furious! Many secret things that happened on the front line were reported back to the rear, and the treason of the peacemakers was gradually revealed! The people's hearts are boiling!
In addition to the main battle faction, well-known people and more than 70 Tai students petitioned at the same time, demanding that the traitors be severely punished, avenge Zhang Jun, and hate the front-line soldiers! And when Zhao Tuan knew this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. As far as he is concerned, this is not a matter of wandering, scheming, or superficiality! The petition of the students originated from the time of the Jingkang national disaster. In vain, he prides himself on being the king of Zhongxingming, and he is doing a great plan to restore the country, but he actually makes the heavens angry and resentful, and the loyal ministers die in front of him without knowing it!
The embarrassment turned into anger and burned to Tang Siwei and others. These people put pressure on their emperor according to inertia, thinking that with Qin Hui's precedent, it doesn't matter if they copy some? This kind of psychology is very similar to Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty who changed Tang to Zhou and became a generation of empresses, and then Empress Wei also wanted to copy it, but she became disgraced... The interests are current and the precedent is in front, and basically everyone will forget about their own half a catty...
Tang Siwei is such a felony. But he only stopped and did not cut off his head. This makes the whole world unconvinced! Protests are pouring in like a tidal wave! This made Zhao Tuan understand that Tang Siwei and others were his enemies, and if they were not killed, they would not only leave trouble. made the later traitors doubly unscrupulous. It will even chill the morale of the people in the current Anti-Japanese War!
Zhao Tuan ordered the peace pie to be served in a pot! Wang Zhiwang, Qian Duanli, Yin Sui and others were all dismissed. Exile everywhere! Chen Junqing, Chen Lianghan, Wang Shipeng, Zhang Yan, Yu Yunwen and others from the main battle faction are on the throne!
Tang Si retreated to Shinshu halfway through, and was directly scared to death when he heard the news! This is the essence of scum, who have the audacity to corrupt the country and the nation. But he didn't bear the consequences of the sin at all!
The above is relatively happy, and the morale of the Southern Song Dynasty has also risen a little. It's a pity that military strength is an independent real unit, and it can't be changed because of this... The comparison of strength between the two sides of the Yangtze River is even more disparity than when Yan Liang invaded the south, and Zhao Tuan couldn't make up for the crack in the sky with one hand even if he was really "a man with a dead heart like iron" at this time...
The anger was extinguished with the collapse of the peace faction, and the mood also dropped again, Zhao Yan felt that the peace should still be acceptable, and the ancestral mausoleum place, the land of the four states, and the mutual name of the country system emphasized before seemed to be no big deal? On the 15th, Zhao Tuan quietly sent Wang Luan, the general secretary of the Guoxin Office, to cross the river and reopen the peace talks. promised to be able to cede the land of Shang and Qin 2 states; The captured people can be returned, but those who voluntarily surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty must not be returned; not called a minister, only a country of uncles and nephews; The silver silk coins are reduced by 50,000 yuan each year, and the annual tribute is renamed the annual coin... The state of Jin accepted it when it saw good, and the two countries quickly switched to the peace negotiation process...
On the 16th, Song Xiaozong issued an edict that he would choose a day to drive in person!
On the 17th, Zhao Yan appointed Chen Kangbo as Shangshu's left servant and privy envoy. On the 21st, Yu Yunwen was appointed as a member of the Privy Council.
On the 23rd, Cui Quan defeated the Jin army in Liuhe County, Zhenzhou, Huainan East Road.
Chen Kangbo resigned as prime minister due to illness. On November 3, Song Xiaozong issued an edict that "Kang Bojian is one day at a time, shoulders to the palace gate, and still gives support, and it is not a major event."
On the 5th, Zhou Kui was dismissed from the governor's office. On the 11th, Hu Quan, the squire of the military department, and Yin Sui, the right counselor, were dismissed. On the 24th, Wang Zhiwang was dismissed from the governor's office.
On the 25th, Wang Luan, the senator of the Dajin Tongwen Guoxin Office, set off for the north with a letter from Prime Minister Chen Kangbo. On the 26th, Jin sent an envoy Zhang Gongyu to greet him. On December 8, Wei Qidu went north.
On the 11th, Qian Duanli was appointed as the Governor of the Council, Yu Yunwen was appointed as the Privy Councillor, and Wang Gangzhong was appointed as the Privy Councillor.
This month, the Song and Kim countries finally reached the "Longxing Peace Conference", which has three main contents:
1 The Song Dynasty no longer called Jin a minister, and changed the monarch and ministers to the country of uncles and nephews; 2. The boundaries between the two sides were restored to the Huai River and Dasanguan at the time of the Second Shaoxing Peace Conference, and most of the four states of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng and the two states of Shang and Qin recovered by the Southern Song Dynasty after the failure of Yanliang's southern invasion were all returned; 3. Change the annual tribute to the annual coin, and the annual amount will be reduced by 50,000 taels from the original 250,000 taels of silver silk to 200,000 taels each.
After that, Song Xiaozong sent Hong Shi as an envoy to Dajin to congratulate the gold lord on his birthday. Later, it was taken for granted.
This is why all the "harvests" of the Southern Song Dynasty have been like this since the completion of Yanliang's southern invasion and Longxing's northern expedition? can only say: Zhao Tuan's luck is incomparable!
He has encountered an unprecedented traitor! His prime minister, the commander of the front, betrayed him. But this is not an excuse, he lacks the most basic means of fighting. He's always just staring at himself! If you have the desire to restore the country, then no matter what the actual situation is, you must fight! After being frustrated, regardless of the situation in Jinguo, he rushed to make peace in the face of threats!
It has to be said: his concept of contention is fundamentally flawed! And this is also normal, regardless of who cultivated him? The teacher Zhao Gou invited him was Shi Hao, would this kind of person really teach him how to expand his territory and dominate the world? He also taught him how to maintain his fighting spirit in the face of adversity, and always be calm...
After careful calculation, Song Xiaozong's efforts still paid a small price. Compared with "Daddy" Zhao Gou, Zhao Yan's international status has improved. is no longer a courtier, and the money handed over every year is not called "tribute", but a gift, and it is less than 1/5... This is also an achievement!
When he found a reason to heal his pain, something was lost to him. Those things cannot be used for compromise and calculation, such as the hatred of the country and the hatred of the family, such as the suffering of loss. How can these be bargained?
It will be a few more days before Zhao Tuan will come out of the glories after the danger, and feel that he has changed, until he gradually drifts away, contrary to the original him... Then. He will find that the opportunity is further away from him. Because on the other side of the Yangtze River, someone can see more accurately and do more steadily than him - Jin Shizong finishes Yan Yong!
It's time to talk about the Golden Emperor. He is a very tangled contradiction. He is gentle, he is not aggressive. He even reasoned. Compare with the appearance of the finished face. He's so unruly!
In that sense. In any case, the Southern Song Dynasty, which ruled across the river, would choose him as a neighbor. But history proves that it was this person who made Zhao Tuan desperate. Far more desperate than when the face was bright!
Wanyan Yongren is like its name, it seems to be lukewarm, but in fact, it is graceful and indifferent, calm and unhurried. This person can hold back when he should bow his head, and even his wife can be sent out. When it is time to make a decision, he will never hesitate to say that the emperor rebelled and decided in a word! And in the face of the challenge of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was always calm. It was time to negotiate, and several orders were given to march, stop, negotiate peace, and march again, which successfully mobilized the nerves of the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers... This is a very famous strategy - to force the peace with war!
It can be said that since Wan Yan Liang invaded in the south, Wan Yan Yong has been walking a tightrope, and if he takes half a wrong step, he will fall into the abyss! But he just can't go wrong! Until the integration of the internal and subdued the Southern Song Dynasty, the strongest situation in the Jin State was maintained... And that's just the beginning!
Wan Yan Yong made no mistakes in his life, and based on this terrible stability, he allowed Jin Guo to start a big change both quickly and steadily. First rested with the people, and as soon as the war against the Song Dynasty ended, he left only 60,000 standing troops, and the rest were returned to his hometown... This alone means that the merit is immeasurable!
He also adjusted class relations. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, for the sake of deep hatred and lack of knowledge, the Jin State reduced the economic freedmen of the former Liao State, monasteries and other second-tax households to slaves. Wan Yanyong ordered all of them to be pardoned. The wives and children who were pawned and sold in the war and famine were redeemed by the government and released to their relatives. It is also stipulated that whoever frees a good slave shall marry a good man within the limit, and the children born to him shall be good citizens... All this, I don't see any emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty who did it...
Compared with governing the country, good deeds are only small virtues. Wan Yanyong grasps the general direction more precisely! It is mainly reflected in two aspects:
1. The economy is moving closer to the Han nationality. From the time the Jurchens established themselves until the failure of Wanyan Liang's southern invasion, they were always in the low-end era of semi-slavery and semi-feudalism. They only know how to burn, kill and plunder, and they don't know how to exert their due benefits after grabbing them. This leads them to always feel that they can't eat enough, and they always want to grab it again, instead of being like Zhao Kuangyin back then, they would rather slow down, but also have to be prosperous in one place, so that the economy and people's livelihood can rise rapidly... Wan Yan Yong was insightful, he inspected and pushed the ranks, paid taxes and servants equally, gradually stripped the privileges of the Jurchen aristocracy, and divided the people of the whole country into several levels like Song Law, and served according to the ranks.
2. Spiritual core Jurchenization. This problem is very characteristic of the times, not only in the Jin Kingdom in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. That is, the Jurchens will always decay quickly! At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners swept the world and founded a unified country, but soon after their success, they degenerated into a pile of waste who only knew how to spend their days and drink. From the late Kangxi period to the middle of the Qianlong period, these people went to the battlefield in armor, not to mention wearing armor and going to the battlefield, even when they staged a scene to kill people, cutting off a dummy head with a knife and spewing out a cavity of chicken blood, they would be frightened and the audience screamed. In other respects, even the biggest criterion for measuring the existence of a race, the national language, will not be said!
History is a great reincarnation, and these problems appeared as early as the Wanyan Yong period of the Jin Kingdom. Wan Yan Yong's own crown prince didn't know the Jurchen customs, the princes of the clan couldn't communicate in their own language, and the Jurchens couldn't find the difference between them and the Han people except for combing a big braid...
Wan Yan Yong ordered the establishment of Jurchen Studies, selected 3,000 children of nobles from the Jin Kingdom to enroll, set up Jurchen Jinshi Sect, and promulgated the Five Classics and Zhuzi of the Jurchen translation, which were juxtaposed with Chinese Confucian scholars into two opposing systems. It is forbidden to change the Jurchen surname to a Han surname, such as Wanyan to Wang, etc., to prohibit the guards from speaking Chinese, and to prohibit the Jurchens from wearing Hanfu. If found, the heavier ones will be executed, and the lighter ones will cancel the hereditary Jurchen titles!
In other aspects, Wanyan Yong has also achieved heavy development, such as the field. The border of the Song and Jin Dynasty is no longer the same as before, there is only one area where the New Year's coins are handed over every year, but in the vast land, from Sizhou and Shouzhou near the eastern coastline to Fengxiang, Qinzhou and Taozhou in the northwest... They are all windows for trade between the two countries. In addition, Mizhou and Jiaoxi County were the platforms for Song-Jin maritime trade...
The transactions in these places greatly improved the standard of living of the Jurchens, and they basically obtained wonderful things without fighting, otherwise what were the gold and silver coins they robbed? It's just scrap metal!
Of course, this also embarked on the old path of the Liao State back then, and the New Year's coins won by hard work and war flowed back to the Song Dynasty on the field. Every year, the money used by Jin Guo to buy tea reaches more than 300,000 taels of silver! (To be continued......)
