On the 12th, Shi Yisheng and others crossed the river in Zhenjiang Mansion. On the 16th, he crossed the Huai and returned to the north.

On February 6th, the main and deputy Dajin Hanging Sacrifice Envoy Da Huaizhong and the Bowl Wen Du bowed to the deceased Empress Dowager Wei in the Cining Palace. The sacrificial text is read aloud by Shi Ju. On the 9th, Ye Yiwen and Liu Yunsheng were appointed as the chief and deputy envoys of Dajin. In addition to thanking Jin Guo for coming to pay tribute, Zhao Gou also secretly ordered them to investigate whether Yan Liang really had the intention of invading the south.

On the 25th, Zhao Gou officially issued an edict. The seventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the descendant of Zhao Defang, and the king of Pu'an County, Zhao Ying, was named Zhao Wei as the prince. On the 27th, Zhao Wei was crowned as the envoy of the Ningguo Festival, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, and the establishment of the king. Before this, Zhao Gouwei blocked the mouths of Zhao Xuan, the king of Enping County, and his adoptive mother, Empress Wu, and tested the character of the two children, and made a trick: 20 palace maids were given to Zhao Ying and Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan hugged left and right after getting these 10 palace maids, so unhappy. Zhao Ming's teacher Shi Hao warned Zhao Ming, "This is the emperor's test for you, don't come nonsense" A few days later, Zhao Gou really recalled all the palace maids for inspection. The 10 people given to Zhao Ying are still virgins, and the 10 people given to Zhao Xuan are no longer complete. In this way, Zhao Ying won the last hurdle thrillingly...

At this time, Empress Dowager Wei, who happened to disagree with the establishment of Zhao Ying, died, Empress Wu had nothing to say, Zhang Tao secretly played the establishment of the reserve, and the Lizhou Luti point prison made Fan Rugui seal to the famous ministers in the Jiayou period, a total of 36 letters (all of which were selected by Emperor Renzong in the clan) to offer... As a result, Zhao Wei, the king of construction, was thus determined.

In early March, Zhang Wang, Xu Yuan and other people from Donghai County, Haizhou, Shandong East Road, gathered to rebel. Wanyan Liang sent Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin to lead 900 boat divisions to conquest "I am not in Yiyi, I want to test the boat master's ear"

On the 12th, He Yunzhong, the governor of the political council, sent an envoy to the return of the Jin State, and the Jin State was bound to defeat the alliance, and the Great Song Dynasty should prepare for it.

One of the people who rebelled in Donghai County, Jin State, was named Li Xiu, who secretly contacted Song Zhao, the deputy governor of Huainan East Road in the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that he hoped to return to the south. But now it is a sensitive period, and the Southern Song Dynasty feels that this is true on the one hand. On the other hand, I doubt that he will be the vanguard of the Jin army's southward movement? So on the 17th, Liu Guangfu, the deputy head of the Mabu Army of the Jiangnan Zhulu Road, was urgently appointed as the deputy head of the Huainan Zhulu Road, and stationed in Chuzhou to prepare for it.

Before Liu Guangfu arrived, Li Xiu secretly sent someone to meet Xu Zongyan, the acting governor of Chuzhou, to ask for support. Xu Zongyan refused on the grounds that he was afraid of provocation.

On the 27th, Zhao Xuan, the king of Enping County, opened the mansion with the three divisions, sentenced the main affairs, and placed the Shaoxing Mansion. But from now on, he is characterized as the emperor's nephew...

On April 6, Yeluyi, the deputy envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty last year, was reprimanded with a cane and removed from his name. is making Shi Yisheng be cooked to death.

Due to the establishment of Yang Cunzhong, the Southern Song Dynasty court decided to create two armies in Jingnan Mansion and Jiangzhou. On May 4, Liu Qi was appointed as the commander of all the armies in Jingnan Prefecture in front of the Imperial Palace. 8th. Qi Fang was appointed as the commander of all the armies in Jiangzhou in front of the Imperial Palace.

In June, Xu Wen defeated Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan, and the rebellion in Donghai County was put down.

On July 5th, Wan Yanliang issued an edict that "the people of Donghai County are wronged by Zhang Wang and others, and they will be released" On the 6th, Zhang Hongxin stayed in Laizhou on Shandong East Road because of his ineffective efforts to beg thieves, fooled around with prostitutes, and was punished with a hundred rods.

For this war with the Southern Song Dynasty. Daikin began a general mobilization in the country. Wan Yanliang ordered all ethnic groups and Zhuluzhou counties under the jurisdiction of the Jin State to serve in the army, and all those over 20 years old and under 50 years old should join the army. With this intensity, the army assembled has reached the level of legendary, and many versions are unsure of how many...

After pressing Yan Liang himself, he said. His southern expeditionary strength is 5 million...

According to the most famous poem written by Wan Yanliang himself, it is 1 million...

According to the research of Mr. Wang Zengyu, a master of Song history, the Chinese army of Yan Liang's self-general after the southern expedition was 170,000, 70,000 in eastern Zhejiang, 70,000 in Xishu Road, and 70,000 in Hannan Province. A total of 310,000 troops...

Even if it's only 310,000, look at what this meant for Jin Guo at that time: the total population of Jin Guo at that time was 5.5 million households and the population was about 36 million. Therefore, it can be concluded that in this war, the Jin country raised about one soldier for every 100 people...

So what is the cultivation method?

The first is the horse. At this time, the Khitan uprising had not yet broken out, the horse breeding ground was very safe, and after more than ten years of recuperation in the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the assembly of horses was no problem in principle. However, the actual operation was full of difficulties, and even the special horses for civil servants were confiscated with all their might, and only nearly 600,000 horses were collected. About 1/10 of the loss was lost during transportation, so that before the battle, the horsepower content of the troops was far from meeting the requirements, at most only eighty percent...

And grain. 300,000 troops, based on the amount of food per person per day, is 300,000 catties per day. According to the Song Dynasty, the yield per mu was about 120 catties, that is, the yield of thousands of mu should be eaten every day. It's almost like a once-in-a-century plague of locusts...

Some people will say that food is consumed every day, and these people have to eat even if they are not soldiers, so this account is wrong? No! Here's a fundamental difference!

The army of the Jin State is not a government military system, and it is not a peacetime farming and wartime expedition. They were usually pure peasants, able to support themselves and pay taxes to the state. But being a soldier is a soldier, and pure attrition began. Between one out and one in, it is a burden on the state exponentially!

The above is only a small investment, but it is only the most basic condition for maintaining the army, and the maximum expenditure - weapons are not included. When it comes to the weapons of the Jin Army, they are very distinctive, and in some respects they have achieved the ultimate in Chinese history.

Their bows and arrows were rudimentary, even primitive. The strongest bow recorded in the historical books does not exceed 7 buckets, neither beautiful nor strong, and its style can refer to the Qing army bow and arrow displayed in the Ten Kings Pavilion of the Shenyang Forbidden City, which is almost like the aborigines...

7 buckets? Yue Fei's bow power is 3 stones! This can be understood why, when the Song and Jin armies were firing at each other, the Jurchens would be defeated. The bow was not strong, and the arrows were few, and the Jurchen cavalry usually carried no more than 100 arrows, and at most about 300. This is far from being comparable to the later Mongol army. But even so, multiplied by the huge base of 300,000, its number is extremely amazing: "The Jin Fang built a palace in Nanjing, and the camp in the capital, and the military equipment and wood made by the Quartet were all given to the people." The arrows feather from one foot to a thousand dollars, and the villages often supply cattle for tendons, as well as birds, magpies, dogs, and beaks. All of them were killed, and there was an uproar in the territory."

This is the shortcoming of the Jurchen army, and then look at its strengths: the cavalry of the Jin army is characterized by the word "heavy". They wore 58 kilograms of heavy armor (about 70 kilograms today), plus a helmet that only showed their eyes, and a vest draped over the horse, which would weigh more than 100 kilograms. And that's just ordinary cavalry. If they are well-armed, they are "all armoured." An eight-sided rod or a knife hangs from the waist, the length of the gun is one zhang and two, the bow and arrow are behind, the bow strength is no more than seven buckets, and the arrow is less than a hundred"

There are all kinds of these things, and at that time they were all high-end products that could only be made by professional workshops, and they were all money! And it's multiplied by 300,000 base money!

The above is still just the standard configuration, and the real special tools have to be counted separately. For example, the siege of the city requires ladders and goose carts; The navy wants loaches and boats; Tents for marching; Transporting grain to the people, etc... The Jin Kingdom, which has been suspended for more than ten years, is suddenly operating at a rapid pace, how difficult it is to say!

In August, Liang Qiu, the secretary of the Dajin household department, and Xiao Dewen, the secretary of the military department, conscripted all the men of the three tribes of Jurchen, Khitan, and Xi throughout the country. There were 240,000 troops, divided into two armies: the strong ones called the regular army, and the old and weak ones called Alishan. Gao Huaizheng, the servant of the Dajin Officials, and 15 other people, with silver medals, in the name of signing military envoys, frantically recruited Han and Bohai people in all 15 roads in the country, except for the Zhongdu Road where weapons were made and the Nandu Road where Bianjing was repaired, and 270,000 soldiers were divided into 27 armies.

Wan Yanliang is about to invade, and at this time, the one who can protect the Southern Song Dynasty regime is its powerful naval army! Today, there are more than 10,000 elite sailors in western Zhejiang and Tongzhou, which are under the jurisdiction of Zhu Yi, the warden of Pingjiang Prefecture. But Zhu Yi is a civil official. How can you resist Yan Liang's alluring army? The situation needs a general! As a result, Li Bao, who Yue Fei valued so much when he inspected the Han family army in Chuzhou, finally had a place to use again! On September 14, Li Bao was appointed as the deputy governor of Liangzhexi Road, and the deputy governor of Pingjiang Prefecture.

On October 2, Wanyan Liang ordered 24 people including Wanyan Pulian to arrest thieves and pacify public order in Shandong, Hedong, Hebei, and Zhongdu Zhulu. and conscripted sailors from all roads. 30,000 people.

On the 3rd, Yu Yunwen and Meng Sigong were appointed as the chief and deputy envoys of He Dajin Zhengdan. Xu Du and Su Shen were appointed as He Dajin's birthday envoys. On top of the Golden Court, Yu Yunwen impressed the Wanyan Liang monarchs who had always despised the Southern Song Dynasty!

Yu Yunwen is dignified, 6 feet 4 inches tall. It is nearly 2 meters tall in modern times. This is really not low-key, not to mention the Song Dynasty, even the Jurchens are tired of seeing it. At a banquet. The Jurchens came over with a bow and said with a smile, "Come, master, shoot an arrow and see" obviously to see the fun of the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty. What about growing taller? The same weak waste! Unexpectedly, Yu Yunwen took the bow and shot the arrow, hitting the bull's-eye, which ruined the good mood of a lot of Jurchen nobles. After that, Yu Yunwen looked very carefully in the north, and after returning to Jiangnan, he reported that "the Jin State will definitely start a war in the near future, and everything is ready over there", which also ruined the good mood of the nobles of the Southern Song Dynasty...

On the 4th, Liu Qi was urgently summoned and came to Lin'an! Your army is under the temporary control of Li Dao!

On the 16th, Chen Junqing impeached Liu Bao for the ten crimes of controlling Liu Bao in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Liu Bao was immediately removed as the deputy head of the Fujian Road Mabu Army.

On the 18th, Liu Qi, the commander of all the armies stationed in Zhenjiang Prefecture in the front of the Imperial Palace, was urgently appointed as the commander of the Zhenjiang Prefecture in charge of the Imperial Army. And Li Dao, the former commander of the right army of the former army of Jingnan Prefecture stationed in Ta Li, was urgently promoted to the commander of all the armies of Jing Nan Fu stationed in Ta Li.

On December 1, Tang Si retired.

This month, Wan Yanliang appointed Kong Yanzhou, a deserted and bestial general, to stay in Kaifeng, Nanjing. Soon, Kong Yanzhou died. The last words "the Song Dynasty should take Huainan first"

Wan Yan Liang strictly forbade courtiers to drink alcohol. Except for diplomatic occasions with the Song, Western Xia, and Goryeo kingdoms, the rest of the drinkers were executed. And Wan Yan Jing and Wan Yan Shuang gathered together on the day of the beginning of spring to drink at the house of Wan Yan Tanzhen, the commander of the horses. After Yan Liang found out, he was furious, "Rong Fang Yin, ban hundreds of officials from drinking." Qing and the others knew that "the three of them fell to the ground and asked for death." Wan Yan Liang finally exempted the three of them from the death penalty because of his close relatives, and sentenced Wan Yan Tanzhen to seventy canes and demoted him to the envoy of the Anwu Army. Wan Yan Jing and Wan Yan Shuang were punished with a hundred rods respectively, and they were reduced to the history of Luanzhou Thorn and the history of Naturalized Prefecture.

In this year, Li Renxiao, Renzong of Western Xia, was appointed as the father of the Empress Dowager and the minister of the state who made great contributions to the civil strife in pacifying the country, Ren Dejing, as the king of Chu. Ren Dejing, relying on his dual identity as the ruler and prime minister, is more domineering, leaning towards the government and the opposition, and entering and exiting the honor guard with the emperor. And Xia Renzong's tolerance and connivance with this titular grandfather was almost unbelievable! The traditions of the Tangut people are about to turn into a crisis of national division!

Xia Renzong was extremely fond of Han culture. During his tenure, schools were established in all prefectures and counties throughout the Western Xia Dynasty, with 3,000 students. There are Taixue and Imperial Palace Elementary Schools in Beijing, and all the children of the clan are required to go to school from 7 to 15 years old. Li Renxiao and Empress Oka also often came to teach in person. Confucius became Emperor Wenxuan in the party, and built Confucian temples throughout the country, etc... In a word, except for the different hairstyles, fully imitate the Song Dynasty!

But just this year, as the former governor of Xi'an Prefecture in the Northern Song Dynasty, Ren Dejing openly went up and accused Xia Renzong of all kinds of mistakes in respecting Confucianism. (To be continued......)
