Zhang Jun's death
This month, Dajin Taishi and Shangshu Ling Zhang Hao died. Kim Sejong dropped out for it. Zhang Hao's greatest contribution was to prevent Jin Shizong from abolishing the imperial examination. At that time, Sejong replied that "I will see the Taishi and discuss it", and then asked Zhang Hao, "Since ancient times, the emperor has not had a literary scholar" Zhang Hao replied: Qin Shi Huang, Jin Shizong was shocked, "How can I be the Qin Emperor?"
This month, a student named Chen Liang in Yongkang County, Wuzhou, submitted the "Five Treatises on Zhongxing" to the imperial court, arguing in many ways that he could not discuss peace with Jin. But when the music was sent to the inner court, it sank like a stone into the sea, and there was no response.
This year, Yelu Yilie, the Emperor of Western Liaorenzong, died, and the edict was unprecedented in Chinese history: his sister inherited the queen of heaven Yelu Pu quickly completed the regent! Pu Suwan is in charge of the country as a princess, which is unprecedented in Chinese history! There is a clear difference between the imperial succession of China and Japan and Europe, in their history, there have been many empresses, and there are only 5 empresses recognized by the historiography in Chinese history: except for the first generation of empress Wu Zetian, the remaining four are from ethnic minorities: Xiao Ta Buyan, the queen of heaven in Western Liao, Yelu Pusuwan, the queen of Chengtian in Western Liao, the wife of Wokotai in Mongolia is Ma Zhenhou, and the wife of Guiyou in Mongolia is lost in Hai.
In early January of the 2nd year of Longxing (1164), Jin Shizong suddenly asked the courtiers around him, "King Qin Wanyan Zonghan has contributed to the country, why there is no heir", everyone did not know what was right. Wan Yan Bao suddenly said like an epiphany, "I heard that Zonghan was in Xijing, and he killed thousands of people, and he had to repay him."
On the 20th, the commander of the Jin army, Fusan Zhongyi, sent another letter to the Southern Song Dynasty. This time, Jin Jun is particularly simple, that is, none of the four terms prescribed before can be ambiguous! If they don't agree, the Jin army will immediately cross the Huai River and enter the Yangtze River! To prove our sincerity, we detained Hu Fang!
is so tough, so that the anger that Zhao Tuan has just extinguished rises again! It's too much of a deception! It's just that the Northern Expedition was frustrated, and the Jin people are so rampant! I really regret that I shouldn't sit back and watch the opportunity for Yan Liang's defeat slip away, and attack at that time. Where is today's poverty?
The Son of Heaven was furious, the wind and clouds changed color, Zhao Tuan told the world to immediately restart the war machine, and say goodbye to the Jin State, win or lose!
The main battle faction was overjoyed, and the peace faction was stupid, neither they nor Jin Guo expected Zhao Tuan's reaction to be so fierce. In fact, making a gesture in the negotiation, showing toughness and the like are common means, there is no need to see blood immediately, you live or die?
Kim reacted quickly. Jin Shizong immediately issued an order to the servant to scatter loyalty: "What a crime the messenger has!" Immediate repatriation. "On February 30, Hu Fang returned to Lin'an and brought a message from Emperor Jin: peace talks can be continued, and the conditions can be discussed...
Southern Song Dynasty. Tang Siwei organized all the people to advise the emperor: Please don't be impulsive, you want peace, stability, and development...
Zhao Tuan's response was: On March 1, send Zhang Jun to see the Jianghuai front!
Tang Si is depressed, this is a donkey! It seems that persuasion is useless, and a whip must be found. He used the method that he had tried before, and asked Zhao Tuan to report to the Emperor Taishang before making a decision... This is nirvana, Zhao Tuan will definitely compromise?
Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Tuan was furious, and rebuked in an unprecedented stern tone, "The Jin people are so rude, and Qing Shang wants to negotiate peace." Today's enemy situation is no longer comparable to that of Qin Hui's dictatorship. And you are making peace day and night, you are really worse than Qin Hui"
Tang Si was shocked, once again he didn't expect the emperor's reaction to be so fierce, and he immediately bowed his head and confessed. Dig into your own meanness from the depths of your soul and make a deep review. In short, in the face of Zhao Tuan, a former good son, he was a very good grandson...
You can turn around and leave the palace. His face immediately turned gloomy. Little tender baby, this is a trick you forced me to make...
Tang Siwei, a high-ranking political official who has been doing things all his life, quickly grasped Zhao Tuan's weakness: that is Zhang Jun! There is no doubt that Zhang Jun has become a banner! Inspired by him. Only then can the main battle faction form a group, and the emperor can have the confidence to go on the Northern Expedition. That's good, get rid of him!
After a period of time, Qiuhe sent a rumor-mongering mobilist, taking turns to fight, and all kinds of rumors overwhelmed Zhao Tuan. These professional politicians will say that the Jianghuai front line is guarded in chaos, there is no distinction between soldiers and civilians, and the generals are incompetent. For a while, it will be said that the four prefectures of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng are isolated and unable to defend, and the cost is too high. I will cite countless examples to prove that Zhang Jun is domineering, empty-eyed, high-eyed... It also uses a long article to introduce how the Jin army is strong and invincible.
Zhao Tuan's newly excited heart gradually descended from the high clouds, returning to the pure military contrast after the collapse of Fu Li... He finally ordered the Jianghuai front-line troops to retreat and return to the camp one after another, and he no longer recruited himself... After this series of actions, Jin Guo knew that the peace talks were reopened, and Zhang Jun knew that the Northern Expedition was hopeless...
On April 3, after the completion of the political affairs of Daikin Pyeongjang, Yan Yuanyi was dismissed as a stayer in Tokyo, and retired shortly after, dying at home.
On the 7th, Zhao Yan summoned Zhang Jun to return to the court. On the 14th, he went to the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion.
Exhaustion and arrogance by nature made Zhang Jun choose to resign again. And Tang Siwei ordered his confidant Yin Sui to impeach Zhang Jun. On the 23rd, Zhang Jun resigned. Zhao Yan sent Qian Duanli and Wang Zhiwang to serve as envoys to Huaidong and Huaixi respectively to take over the military...
Qian Duanli and Wang Zhiwang, what a good name! Just looking at the literal word, etiquette is the essence of Chinese Confucianism, and they themselves were high-ranking officials at the time, and Confucianism also enjoyed a good reputation. Here's a look at what they do:
After taking office, they first dismissed all the recruited volunteer service sergeants, forbade the front line to accept and take in traitors from the north, and demolished all the defensive facilities that Zhang Jun had built with his hands and feet, ordered all localities not to build again, disbanded the 10,000-crossbow battalion, stopped building warships, reduced the number of sailors, and reduced the size of the cavalry...
If the generals of the patriotic main war refuse to carry out the battle, it is in their arms, and the eight words "disobeying orders and harming the country" are enough to remove these generals from their posts and investigate them, or even arrest them and put them in prison! Even the famous Yu Yunwen is not immune!
On May 28, Jin Guo swept away the remnants of the Nest Wing Fu Suhe.
On June 19, Yu Yunwen, who was stationed in Tang and Deng Prefectures, was ordered to abandon his duties immediately and return to Lin'an to report on his work! Yu Yunwen was furious and refused to carry it out! As a result, on July 2, Yu Yunwen was removed from his post for investigation, and Han Zhongtong was appointed as the envoy of Hubei and Jingxi.
This is the hero who just saved the country from a catastrophe, and he was actually treated like this! These things can be said to have been done by Qian Duanli and Wang Zhiwang, but Zhao Tuan must know! He acquiesced in this, and contributed to it: on the 22nd, the garrisons of Hai and Si were ordered to be withdrawn.
On August 19, Kim Sejong said to his minister, "Every performance is a common thing. Those who govern the country and the people and the government are not convenient for the people, they have not tasted it. So. then the prime minister, who can't"
On the 28th, Zhang Jun died. To be honest: The reason why Zhang Jun is still alive after the collapse of Fuli is completely because he is stubborn, with a strong personal heroism, and at the same time contains a strong patriotic heart, and he is barely supporting his hard work!
He not only had to fight with the Jin State, but also with the peacemakers in the rear, which made him run out of oil long ago. As soon as Zhao Tuan decided to negotiate peace with Kim, he undermined all his measures on the front line, and his last bit of survival was gone... His death was tragic and heroic!
After Zhang Jun dismissed the prime minister, he was relegated to Fuzhou. Before leaving, he also went to the court to impeach Tang Siwei's confidant Yin Sui. He was advised to come to this moment. Stop talking about state affairs. Zhang Jun said that even if he is persecuted again, he will never go with the flow and sit back and watch the traitorous ministers take the way, "the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, there is no escape between heaven and earth." Although I go to the country today, I still look at the heart of the heart, I have seen something, and I am patient with words. If you want to reuse the dredge, the dredge will be on the same day. I don't dare to use old illness as an excuse", it can be seen that his heart is strong...
It's a pity that he didn't go to Fuzhou yet, and he was weak and exhausted his vitality halfway through. When he was dying, he said to his second son, the future master of science, Zhang Yan, "I taste Xiangguo." Can't restore the Central Plains, the shame of the Snow Ancestors. That is, die, it is not appropriate to bury the left of the tomb of my ancestors, and it is enough to bury me under Hengshan" This is Zhang Jun's evaluation of himself. It can be seen that people are dying. His heart is at peace, and he is still self-aware...
The ancients said: Look at people to cover the coffin. Personally, I think this statement is very one-sided, can it be said that I have been a bastard for a lifetime. Before he died, he was sensible, and the previous things were written off, and everything was forgotten? But when it comes to the evaluation of Zhang Jun, it really makes people can't bear to say anything...
Zhang Jun was very annoying, he was quickly promoted to the throne in the troubled times as a Confucian student, and the first few steps were really disgusting and despicable to the extreme. Li Gang resisted Jin, and he impeached Li Gang; Han Shizhong resisted Jin, and he impeached Han Shizhong. And he himself did nothing at the beginning of the fight against gold! The difficulty of Jingkang, Kaifeng City has countless deaths and martyrs, but I don't know where this person is hiding, so he left a life?
After the Miao Liu mutiny, Zhang Jun was able to ascend to the sky in one step. Just with the so-called "rescue work", he got the military and political power of the entire Sichuan and Shaanxi, and then the Fuping fiasco, ruining the prestige and strength of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years! Until the Huaixi Military Mutiny, Zhang Jun did not do anything to benefit the country. Then Zhao Tuan ascended the throne, he launched the Northern Expedition, and due to the unknown use of the general, the guide was defeated.
It can be said that Zhang Jun has taken up all the luck of the Southern Song Dynasty in his life! Fuping, Huaixi, Fuli... Let the Southern Song Dynasty always step on the air when he is about to reach the top! Is this fate? Or is there something wrong with the person himself?
It's definitely Zhang Jun's problem! He's confused and jealous. Harming Quduan, forcing Yue Fei, and demolishing Li Xianzhong's platform, this is the embodiment of his leadership art!
However, there is one only commendable quality in Zhang Jun's life: that is, integrity! From beginning to end, he is determined to resist gold externally, and he is not succumbed to Qin Hui internally, even if he has been displaced for 20 years, he will never bow his head! This is by no means something anyone can do, even if Zhang Jun has a lack of morality, insufficient ability, and excessive selfishness, this is enough to make people awe-inspired!
Zhang Jun really died for the country! With that in mind, we forgive him and pay tribute to him...
Zhang Jun's death made Tang Siwei and other scum get their wish, and these hopeless national sinners who were bad from head to toe were ecstatic, and wrote in batches, asking Zhao Tuan to respect objective facts, respect past history, stop making meaningless resistance, and directly abandon the Lianghuai region and retreat to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Immediately send an envoy to beg for peace with the Kingdom of Jin, this is the only chance to avoid the country's demise at the moment...
On the 29th, Tang Si retired and ordered Wei Qi to send an envoy to Jin to negotiate peace. Zhao Yan personally told Wei Qi to set the bottom line for the peace talks: 1 place to fight; 2. The Jin army will be withdrawn; 3-year-old coins to be reduced; 4 Central Plains people do not return ... Wei Qi himself also drafted 17 songs, which were written by Song Xiaozong one by one. So he set off, and when he was leaving, he said to the emperor, "The ministers will go out of the territory, how dare you not be reluctant!" In case the enemy is insatiable, I am willing to increase my troops quickly."
Hu Quan strongly opposed the proposal in the letter, "If the peace agreement is successful, there are ten hangings." If it doesn't work, there will be ten congratulations," the student Wang Zhen also wrote to oppose the peace.
On September 21, Zhao Yan appointed Tang Sihui as the governor of Jianghuai East Road, and the military power in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was completely in the hands of Tang Siwei. However, this person doesn't understand military affairs at all. Unafraid! On the 23rd, Yang Cunzhong, a veteran royalist cadre, was appointed as the deputy governor, and Qian Duanli and Wu Fu were appointed as the military counselors of the governor's office.
In this way, the Southern Song Dynasty did its best to promote peace. The Kim side has also become more important. Historical data proves that this qiē change was deliberately made by the Jin State. Wanyan Bao is to force peace with war, his Jin Kingdom is much worse than his predecessors, and there is no possibility of southern invasion at all!
All of Yan Bao's wishes are to try his best to suppress the Southern Song Dynasty! It is necessary to let the Southern Song Dynasty take the initiative and be weak, and from then on, it will be soft. This is a very clever strategy, the weaker you are, the more you can't show weakness, just like the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms was the weakest, but you must not sit back and wait for the Wei State to attack, you must take the initiative to attack, in order to maintain stability!
"Xiao Yao Shun" Jin Shizong's abacus is clanging, and he has many follow-up means to ensure the success of the plan. But I didn't expect it to be useless at all! Because Tang Si gave him a big gift!
In October, in order to ensure that the peace negotiations would be successful, what Tang Siwei now had to do was to join forces with the Jurchens to oppress his own emperor, and Zhao Tuan had to make peace! So Tang Siwei secretly sent people to contact Jin Bing and asked them to go south quickly. The Jurchens, who had received help from all kinds of traitors, believed it for the first time.
So on the 29th, Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining divided their troops to cross the Huai River and attack Chuzhou. Zhizhou Wei Sheng wanted to resist, but Liu Bao, who was under the control of the capital, refused on the grounds that he could not destroy the peace. Liu Bao then abandoned the city and fled.
On November 4, the Jin army and Wei Sheng fought fiercely in Huaiyang, fighting from Mao to Shen for nearly 10 hours, and the victory was not scored. When Tudan Kening led the fresh army to arrive, Wei Sheng finally gave up, and said to his subordinates, "I should die here, and those who get rid will return to the Son of Heaven" and ordered the infantry to be in front and the cavalry to the rear, and fight and go. In the end, he was killed by an arrow falling from a horse eighteen miles away from Huaidong. The city of Chuzhou is broken. Subsequently, Haozhou and Chuzhou were also broken by the Jin army, and the Jin army's forward quickly approached the north bank of the Yangtze River!
What does it mean to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? It's madness! This is the true face of the peacemakers! When Shaoxing made peace for the first time, the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it, and Qin Hui dared to let people pretend to be hundreds of officials to deal with it, at this time, Tang Siwei went to the next level and directly joined forces with the enemy country to plot against his emperor! (To be continued......)
