Zhao Goubei Part I
On the 24th, Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army broke through Pingyang Mansion in Jinzhou. The reinforcements Liu Wan retreated without a fight. After that, Wanyan Zonghan set his sights on the east bank of the Fen River. He set out from Taiyuan Mansion again, and broke through the Weisheng Army, Longde Mansion, and Zezhou all the way, and killed to the bank of the Yellow River.
On the 29th, the seed master died of illness at the age of 76.
The family army is now destroyed! The legendary army built up by three generations of grandparents and grandchildren has become a thing of the past. Let's review their names again: the first generation of Chong Shiheng, the second generation of Chong Gu, Chong Ge, Chong Yi, the third generation of Chong Pu, Chong Shi Dao, and Tan Shi, they have successes and failures, but they have never betrayed or cowardly! In any era, they are excellent soldiers!
On November 3, Zhao Gou bid farewell to Song Qinzong, left Kaifeng City, and stayed in Dinglin Courtyard in the north of the city to wait for the crown clothes and gifts to be prepared before going to Jinying.
On the 5th, the Huaide army on the original road of the Great Song Dynasty ran out of food, and finally fell into Western Xia. The guard Liu Quan scolded the enemy and died. Du Yishi's family was sentenced to self-immolation and death.
Prince Kang Zhao Gou came to Changyuan County in the northeast with a chariot, and before he left Kaifeng Mansion, the people of Jin changed their hexagram again. On the 7th, Wang Yun returned from Jinying. The new asking price of Jin Guo is that the three northern towns must be handed over, otherwise the first time to open the blockade! So Zhao Gou returned to Kaifeng City, and learned that Feng Lu, a member of the Privy Council, had been dismissed.
On the 8th, the needle was the most on the new offer, and hundreds of officials in the Kaifeng Palace Yanhe Hall gathered, divided into two camps, and debated whether to pay or not. On one side is a high-ranking official faction composed of 36 people, including Mei Zhili, Sun Fu, Lu Haowen, and Qin Hui, and they said they would not pay it. On the other side, the bigwigs led by Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong sent more than 70 people to say that they wanted to pay them. Among them, there is also a Chinese scholar Lang He Li of the mud faction, he said that ceding the three towns is to lose the hearts of the people of Hebei, and if the three towns are not cut, Taiyuan and Zhending have been lost, and Zhongshan and Hejian are also difficult to protect, so we will drag it and let the local people fend for themselves. The two factions quarreled on the Golden Palace for a whole day, and the most dazzling of them was Fan Zongyin, the right-hand counselor of the big man faction, who fell on all fours and wept bitterly, saying that it was for the country, for the people, and for the safety of the officials. Cut out the three towns... Zhao Huan agreed.
On the 12th, Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River, across the largest river in the Central Plains, and on the other side of the river was the 130,000 Song army of Zheyan.
The Jin army has been conquering for a hundred years, and the biggest weakness has been exposed again: there is no water army! Since the rise, the Jurchens have never fought on a boat, recalling that on the banks of the Songhua River, Wanyan Aguda led the whole army to cross the river on horseback like a miracle... Want to copy now? Pure dreaming! This is the Yellow River, not the Songhua River!
Wan Yan Zonghan had a headache. found the strongest person - the Jurchen God of War Wanyan Lou Room. He hopes that the God of War can create another battlefield miracle...
Facing the surging Yellow River and 130,000 heavy soldiers, the god of war said the following: "Although there are many Song troops, they are not enough to fear. But this battle can't be fought hard, it can only be scary. We found hundreds of drums and let the GIs beat them all night. There may be a miracle tomorrow."
As a result, the entire Yellow River is separated by the middle. The Jin army beat the drum all night, and in the early morning of the 13th, the god of war walked to the shore and looked south. The miracle stunned him himself: the south bank of the Yellow River was open and there was no one. In other words: the Jin army only beat the drum across the river all night, and the 130,000 Song troops actually ran out! What kind of army is this? What kind of country is it that produces this kind of army? Zheyan, are you still surnamed Zhe?
That day. The Jin army on the western road crossed the Yellow River safely, without losing a single soldier or a single shot or arrow. On the same day, Wang Xiang, the governor of the West Road, one of the four major avenues, also abandoned the city and fled for his life, and the Yong'an Army and Zhengzhou surrendered with it. More than 60 kilometers east of Zhengzhou is Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty!
Same. The Jin army on the east road was stationed under the city of Qingyuan in Zhaozhou, and wanted to take the shortest path straight to the south to cross the Yellow River, but I heard that it was 250 kilometers south of the north bank of the Yellow River, Junzhou, and the south bank of Huazhou. Fan Na was garrisoned with 50,000 elite soldiers, so Wanyan Zongwang decided to change the route, preparing to go southeast to fight Enzhou, and then cross the river at the Beijing Daimyo Mansion in the Great Song Dynasty...
On the 14th, Zhao Gou and Wang Yun urgently left Beijing and rushed to Wanyan Zongwang on the front line, trying to drag the Jurchens with the three towns and various cars and titles...
But on the 15th, Wang Wei, the envoy of Wanyan Zonghan, came to Kaifeng City. In response to the shape in front of him, he no longer talked about the three northern towns, but asked for all the land on Hedong and Hebei roads... Prime Minister Tang Ke once again agreed, and asked He Li, the secretary of the Chinese book, to second. He Li was shocked: "Didn't you say the three towns? How do you want all two rivers now? Never mind! This wartime prime minister, I can't be the prime minister, I resign. Tang Ke, you can play alone."
On the same day, Wanyan Zonghan led the army to cross Luoshui at Bishui Pass. Xu Gao was sentenced in Jingxi, Xu Kang was sentenced in Hebei, and he led his troops to defend in Luokou, but now he is defeated by the wind. The news reached Kaifeng City, and Kaifeng City finally implemented the clear field of the strong wall, and ordered Feng Lu and Li Ruoshui to meet Yan Zonghan to negotiate peace.
On the 16th, He Li, the Chinese scholar, was dismissed. Shangshu Zuo Cheng Chen Guoting was reappointed as a Zhongshu waiter.
On this day, Sun Fu, the secretary of the military department, was habitually flipping through the books, and suddenly a miracle appeared! A poem by Qiu Jun's "Sentimental Poem" fell into his eyes: "Guo Jing, Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, all lie in the southeast and white clouds", those who lie in the white clouds are all immortals! The Song Dynasty started from Zhao Guangyi, carried forward by Zhao Heng, and reached the peak of Zhao Ji, almost every major event of the country can be related to Taoist priests and immortals... Even on the night of the sound of axes and candles, there were Taoist priests...
Now that the alien race is invading, how can such a major event of life and death exclude the immortals? Sun Fu felt that the reason why he saw this poem at such a moment was itself a hint of a fairy!
As a result, the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City are conspicuously pasted with the revelation of seeking immortals: immortals. Male, unknown appearance, unknown posture, uncertain occupation, recently appeared in the names of Guo Jing, Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, etc., those in the know are welcome to report, and there are heavy rewards. At the same time, I warmly hope that the immortals will collectively go to earth in the daytime...
The immortal was quickly found, and Wang Zongmi, the military boss and the boss of the front division of the palace, found a person named Guo Jing among the dragon guards of the forbidden army.
This person is completely in line with the standards of the gods, he can scatter beans into soldiers, soldiers can be invisible, he can use the method of Liujia to capture Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Zongwang and other leaders of the Jin army, can sweep 100,000 Jin troops, and relieve the siege of Kyoto... And to do this, he only needs to gather 7,777 men. Of course, these people are not ordinary people, they are all immortals, extraordinary, and they are also immortals who go down to earth without knowing it. They have something in common, namely the time of their birthday. Find out them, as long as they are attached to the conditions, even if they are peddlers and pawns, they will bring the Song Dynasty back to life and make the Jin army collapse in an instant...
Zhao Huan, He Li, and Sun Fu all believed these words...
So Guo Jing was promoted to the top of the list. From the deputy head of the capital to the doctor of Wuluo and the assassin of Yanzhou, he worked actively and quickly gathered the six armor soldiers in the capital. Soldiers' ingredients? For example, a person named Bo Jian is a street performer, a lay monk named Fu Zhilin, and a medicine seller is called Liu Songjie. The more prominent one is a man named Liu Xiaoji, he is very creative, and he refines the divine soldiers, and the divine soldiers are divided into Bian Ding Lishi, Beidou Shenbing, Tianque General, etc... They have become a mysterious group of people, isolated from the outside world, leaving all kinds of bizarre conjectures in Kaifeng City...
Among them, there are some skeptics who think that this is too child's play, too naïve, too absurd, and simply a lie. Putting the life of the country and the nation in the hands of such people is pure suicide!
In this regard, Sun Fu, the secretary of the military department, was furious. He was the biggest anger in his life, scolding them for having no knowledge, not understanding history, and forgetting all the traditions of the Song Dynasty! In his opinion, Guo Jing's appearance, as well as his identity and ability, are the most correct, normal, and unquestionable truths... Because there is a precedent!
Time goes back 140 years, when Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, just ascended the throne, according to a painting of the work "Longevity Immortal Map" of the saint Wu Daozi, he found in reality that he looked exactly the same, and was the Marquis of Yu, who was the imperial dragon bow and arrow at the time... After that, Dane was on the rise. If you don't do anything, you will be promoted to the Pingyuan Army Festival. What does this mean? Linked to Guo Jing, both of them are also members of the forbidden army and both have been excavated by the emperor, so Guo Jing must be an immortal! You say not? You despise the first emperor, and you deserve death!
Such a big hat smashed down. No one has anything to say... So 7,778 immortals appeared out of thin air in Kaifeng City, and everyone had some hope, not knowing what these "immortals" would do. But I didn't dare to look forward to it too quickly, because the gods said: Unless the sky is shattered and the earth is in danger. Or don't bother them...
Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and others came to Changyuan County, Kaifeng Prefecture on the 16th, and the people stopped Zhao Gou, saying that they were willing to rise up to serve the country. But he didn't want to see Prince Kang of the Great Song Dynasty go to Jinying to be humiliated. On the 17th, Zhao Gou's biological mother Wei was named a virtuous concubine, and Zhao Gou was crowned an envoy of Anguo and Anwu Army. On the same day, Zhao Gou came to Huazhou. After that, he crossed the Yellow River and came to Cizhou on the 19th. On the 21st, he met with Zong Ze, the governor of Cizhou.
The 67-year-old Zong Ze is already a standard old man. He had a good start, and at the age of 31, he was admitted to the Jinshi. This is commendable, the first of his family has been farming for generations, and it is the first time someone has passed the examination. Second, just after the year of his establishment, he became the happiest civil official of the Song Dynasty in history, he has an incomparably bright future, but Zong Ze can make himself extremely miserable...
At the time of the exam, the misery happened. His strategy made it difficult for the examiner. Don't take it, right? It's so well written; Taken? Endanger the black veil on the head. Zong Ze's strategy criticized the evils of the times, and listed the mistakes of the old and new parties during the Yuanyou period at that time! Is this worth it? The examiner had no choice but to add a word to Zong Ze's origin, which disgusted Zong Ze for the rest of his life. Jinshi has become a "fellow jinshi" who has gained fame in a dignified test, and has been reduced to a level with the scraps who spend money to buy officials!
With this shame on his back, Zong Ze began his officialdom career, to put it simply: he has been pressed at the bottom, and for more than 20 years, he has always been a county magistrate. Seeing that he was about to retire, just in time for the Song Dynasty to decide to join Jin to destroy Liao, this matter was inextricably contested, and no matter who was in the country, he had the right to speak. So Zong Ze spoke, he opposed Lianjin to destroy Liao, this is a play against the six thieves who are in full swing! With a sesame petty official like him, he didn't need the six thieves to make a move, and the thieves and thieves and grandchildren knocked him down...
Don't be a county order, go and guard the Taoist temple! Zong Ze was disappointed, he took the initiative to resign, and wanted to study in the Dongyang Valley for the rest of his life.
But at this time, the Jin army invaded, and he was promoted again and appointed as the governor of Cizhou. As mentioned earlier: At that time, Taiyuan was lost and Zhending Mansion was in danger, and everyone was in a hurry to run to the south bank of the Yellow River, but Zong Ze went against the flow of people, walked to Hebei, and met the Jin army...
This is a portrayal of Zong Ze's life, he is always doing something completely different from the entire officialdom. He met Zhao Gou, who was going to Jinying for peace talks in Cizhou.
Zong Ze persuaded Zhao Gou not to send him to death, no one would agree to any peace talks under such an advantage. Zhao thought about it and decided to listen to Zong Ze, and he had a good impression of Zong Ze. This is a good start, and if it continues, it will likely rewrite China's history. But it's a bit of a corner! Because of Zhao Gou's deputy envoy Wang Yun.
The people of Cizhou knew Wang Yun, he had been an envoy to the Jin State not long ago, and when he passed through Cizhou, he had asked Cizhou to clear the wilderness and transport the people and property to the city, not to leave it to the Jin army. In all fairness, this is a good starting point, but it's a pity that the people of Cizhou have been tossed enough because of this... At this time, when he came again, the people of Cizhou immediately became angry. Coincidentally, someone found a few "soap furs" similar to Jin Guo's clothing in his luggage, and as a result, the people of Cizhou identified him as a spy of Jin Guo! At that time, the people of the entire Lianghe region were furious, as long as they were sticking to the Jin State, even the slaughtering staff dared to chop it into meat sauce, what could a small thing be counted?
The people rushed up, and Wang Yun also became meat sauce... After the incident, Zong Ze knew that he could only report to Zhao Gou head-on. Zhao Gou didn't say anything, but quickly left Cizhou and went to Xiangzhou in the south.
Many years later, Song Gaozong Zhao Goucai mentioned this past incident by chance, and he thought that it was Zong Ze who killed Wang Yun and killed his cronies when he was most dangerous... Zong Ze made Zhao Gou dare not trust it from then on. And the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty have also turned a corner, if Zhao Gooneng has been staying by Zong Ze's side, then the history will not be like that...
And Sangshu? The Zhizhou of Xiangzhou is also famous, his name is Wang Boyan.
Wanyan Zongwang's envoys Yang Tianji and Wang Wei came to Kaifeng City again and asked the Song Dynasty to cede Hebei and Hedong to the Jin State. This time, Zhao Huan agreed. He urgently sent his two major cronies, that is, Geng Nanzhong, the two vanguard subordinates who advocated the cession of land, and Nie Chang, a member of the Privy Council, to cooperate with the Jin army and disarm the Song army on the land of Lianghe. At first, they were unwilling, one with the old resignation and the other with the resignation of the family. Chen Guoting, the Chinese scholar, volunteered to go, Zhao Huan sighed with tears and strictly ordered Geng and Nie to go on the road, Geng went to see Yan Zongwang and Nie went to see Yan Zonghan. These two decrepit people have no choice but to go on the road.
Nie Chang ran faster, he took the edict, crossed the Yellow River non-stop, rushed to Jiangzhou, under the gaze of the Jin envoy, Nie Chang raised the holy decree high, and ordered the Song army defending the city to lay down their arms and surrender. (To be continued......)
