Chapter 4 Retreat
The seemingly powerful Song Dynasty was just a papier-mΓ’chΓ© peace, and as long as it was pushed slightly, it was pierced.
It took fifteen years for the Jin army to destroy Liao, but only two years for the Northern Song Dynasty to be destroyed.
Fortunately, although the Jin army was strong and like a wolf and a tiger, it did not find out the details of the Song Dynasty, and had instinctive fear, awe, and inferiority for this heavenly kingdom. This time he went south, and he only planned to rob the last meal, and then run away, and he was not ready to destroy the Song Dynasty and rule the Central Plains.
The Jurchens in the late Northern Song Dynasty were not the Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty after all.
The Jurchens at the end of the Ming Dynasty were extremely perfect both politically and militarily, and after more than 20 years of preparation, everything was fully prepared. Nu*erhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon may not have good character, but they are skilled in power and skill, extremely sensitive to politics, and have strong military talents, which have brought strong motivation to the Jurchens. As long as Shanhaiguan is released, it can be like a flood, drowning the resistance of the peasant army, and drowning the resistance of those Ming Dynasty.
And today's Jurchen tribe, in terms of leadership, whether it is Wanyan Agu fighting, Wanyan Wushu is a military genius, but politically it is an idiot, and it has missed opportunities again and again in vain, and finally stopped by the Yangtze River, helplessly rowing the river and governing, and finally under the corrosion of money, the Jurchen tribe was completely corrupted, degenerated, and defeated under the sugar-coated cannonballs of the Song Dynasty until the end came.
"Fortunately, the Buddha blessed the Great Song!" Zhao Pu secretly rejoiced in his heart.
β¦β¦β¦
Back in the courtyard, Zhao Pu locked himself in the study.
began to write, even though his knowledge of history was poor. Zhao Pu also knew that in the near future, the shame of Jingkang would happen, and the royal family of the Song Dynasty would be taken away and live a life that was inferior to that of pigs and dogs.
And now, no one will realize it.
In the Song Dynasty, what about the soldiers coming to the city, wasn't the Liao State soldiers coming to the city back then? It was still not repulsed, and finally signed the Tanyuan Alliance, and the army was dismissed to negotiate peace! This time, the Jin army is coming to the city, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, another Tanyuan Alliance will be born.
Lose some money and you're done!
Problems that can be solved with money are often not problems, and the difference is only a matter of how much money you lose.
And Jin Jun also has such a thought, wanting to rob a sum of money, extort a sum of money, and go home for the New Year. The weather in the northern grasslands is very cold, and a lot of cattle and sheep freeze to death, if you don't get some money back, how can you live this year!
It's just that the plan is not as good as the change, and the tide of the war often does not change with the will of man. When the Jin army realized that the so-called Heavenly Empire was just a paper tiger, the disaster of the Song Dynasty came.
"Run!"
Zhao Pu began to make a plan to run away, running away for freedom, running away in order not to be dragged to the north like a dead dog, and running away in order to live a corrupt life of a beautiful wife and concubine. In short, there is only one way to die in Bianjing, and only life is better than death.
But you have to be strategic.
The Song Dynasty has always treated the royal family preferentially, as long as they do not rebel and do some bad things that anger and resentment, they can live a happy life. As for bullying men and women, forcibly occupying some shops, seizing fields, etc., are all trivial matters, and no one cares.
But the imperial family was also the most feared by the emperor.
As a prince, as a prince, if you don't have a special order, you can only stay in Bianliang, and once you leave Bianliang City for no reason, you will be arrested and examined by the Zongren Mansion. In order to spy on the members of the royal family and avoid the opportunity to rebel.
Moreover, Zhao Pu felt that his biggest capital was not the memory of the traverser, not the golden finger, but the identity of the prince. As long as the Song Dynasty did not fall, this identity was extremely effective, and it could walk sideways on the streets, dashing and dashing.
If he leaves Bianliang without knowing anything and loses his identity as a prince, he is nothing. Maybe on the way, he met a little rascal, and a stuffy stick killed him; may also encounter a gang of bandits, and if they go down with a knife, it will be a pile of rotten meat; may also encounter a corrupt official or a bureaucracy, and easily kill him.
It was the most chaotic year, with constant peasant uprisings, bandits and bandits, and corrupt officials.
"You must run away, but it's definitely not now!" Zhao Pu thought in his heart, "Running away is also a philosophy. The same is a runaway, some are a strategic retreat, some are a collapse, and the gap is too big. This also requires concrete thinking...... But who to talk to! β
Zhao Pu was bitter in his heart, but there were some housekeepers, eunuchs, subordinates and the like in the house, but they couldn't tell them.
This is destined to think for yourself and solve it for yourself.
"What a pity! There are no first-class strategists, no first-class generals, only I am single! Zhao Pu's mood was a little gloomy.
The identity of the prince can be said to be his greatest capital, but it is also his biggest shackle. With the identity of the prince, he can run rampant in Bianliang City, and no one dares to provoke; But the identity of the prince is destined to be unable to join the army, fight the Jin Army, and become an official, so he can only be a rich idler and live a parasite-like life.
"Steward Zhao!" Zhao Pu shouted loudly.
"Lord Wang, I don't know what's going on?" Zhao Lei soon appeared in the study.
"Housekeeper, I like that woman of the Wen family very much, you go to the door to propose, I want to take her as a concubine!" Zhao Pudao.
"Yes!" The butler nodded. In his heart, he secretly said, it seems that His Royal Highness likes this woman very much, and he is infatuated with this woman just for a time of fish and water. In the past years, the prince and many famous ladies and prostitutes in Qinglou had a happy life, but it was only a while. After it is fresh, I go to find other women, and I have never accepted some women as concubines, at most as outer rooms. But this time he made an exception and took this woman as a concubine-
Taking a concubine is not a wife, it does not require too much etiquette, only a few simple processes.
β¦β¦β¦
In Bianjing, there are many officials, and the most important ones are officials.
In a remote corner in the north of the city, there is a remote mansion, which is inhabited by a six-grade petty official of the household department, and the owner's name is Shu Yan.
Shu Yan, born in a small landlord family in Yuhang County, was a talent at the age of thirteen, and a person at the age of twenty. At that time, he could be described as proud of the spring breeze and refreshed, but soon his good luck came to an end, and he entered Beijing to catch the exam and fell behind. Then I persevered in the exam, I wanted to fight hard, I had to fight, but I failed again and again, and I wasted the years, until now I am thirty years old, and I have not yet reached the first. The passion in his heart gradually dissipated, and he began to live with peace of mind, and with the support of his classmates, he survived to a six-grade small official in the household.
At this time, he was already fifty years old.
The latest annoyance is that the concubine Shu Shuwen embroidery is lost. has been reported to the official, but there is still no news.
"Bell!" At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
The housekeeper Zhao Lei walked in and said, "You are Shu Yan!" My master wants to accept your daughter as a concubine, this is a dowry! β
"But my daughter seems to have been lost!" Shu Yan asked subconsciously.
"I happened to be saved by my master! Seeing your daughter's beautiful appearance, I thought it was good, so I decided to take him as a concubine! Zhao Lei said as a matter of course.
Shu Yan may be a little dull when he reads too much, but he is definitely not an idiot, and he still doesn't understand everything at this time. It turned out that her daughter was missing and was taken away, and her eyes immediately turned red, and she shouted angrily: "Damn, you are robbing the people's daughter, the old man wants to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue you!" β
"Tell you, the master of my family is the thirteenth son of the official family, His Royal Highness King Yi, are you going to commit a bastard and sue?" Zhao Lei threatened, his tone was a little calm, "The master likes your daughter very much, so he asked me to propose marriage, don't be embarrassed!" Otherwise, you are a little six-grade petty official, and you will get out of tomorrow and go to prison in Dali Temple! β
The threat is obvious, and it is not disguised at all. A six-grade petty official threw a brick in Bianliang and smashed a large number of them. Such a small foot, with the dignity of the prince, he doesn't have to pay attention to it.
"This official is not threatened, it's a big deal to fight a fish and die in the net!" Shu Yan's heart was trembling, but he shouted with righteousness in his mouth.
"Yes! Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money, these are all stains on you over the years! Zhao Lei shook his hand, threw a ledger over, and said coldly: "Recently, Bianjing is not very calm, the Jin army is coming, and you want to find the spies of the Jin army everywhere, I hope you are not!" β
Shu Yan picked up the ledger and looked at some pages, trembling in his heart.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the official is not greedy for money.
These problems can be big or small, and they are normal and nothing happens, but they are fatal during the Beijing investigation, or in some extraordinary times.
Another tragic drama of Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren is being staged!
β¦β¦β¦
At this time, Zhao Pu was sitting in the carriage, on the way to the palace, constantly organizing words in his heart, thinking of a big plan to escape.
After passing through the gates of the palace, Zhao Pu finally met his father, Song Huizong!
"Father!" Zhao Pu immediately opened his mouth and shouted.
"You're here!" Song Huizong said casually.
Zhao Pu was sad in his heart, among the many princes, there was also a difference in status. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty had a total of 32 sons, 25 of whom survived to adulthood. The eldest son, Zhao Huan, that is, Song Qinzong, the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his mother Empress Xiangong Wang, because he was born early, was born in the main room, and was born as an emperor. The second son, King Zhao Ta, and Queen Zheng of Xiansu in his mother, unfortunately had a high infant mortality rate in ancient times and hung up; The third son, Yun Wang Zhao Kai, and his mother Yisu Guifei Wang, are the most popular among Song Huizong and are Cao Zhi.
The fourth son, King Jing, Zhao Ji, died early.
The fifth son, Su Wang Zhao Shu, was a bitter ghost and was later used as a hostage.
The sixth son, King Jing, Zhao Qi,
The seventh son, King Ji Zhao Xu,
The eighth son, Yiwang Zhao Yan, and his mother concubine Liu
The ninth son, King Kang, Zhao Gou, that is, Song Gaozong, the founder of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his mother Wei Xianfei.........
If there are many children, there will be few lovers.
It may be that there are too many children, and the love that is shared equally among each son must be much less.
Those princes whose mothers are queens or concubines can obtain higher status and be better favored by virtue of their mothers. But those who have ordinary mothers are marginalized. And Zhao Pu's mother is average, just a humble person, the daughter of a merchant, not favored, and now she has passed away, which makes him marginalized.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival and other festivals, I only gather a few times to meet this father.
It may be that his mother died early and his father's love was weak, which made the young Zhao Pu a party and a scourge to Bianjing.
PS: Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections. Some time ago, I read "Jingzhong Yue Fei" and was touched, so I began to conceive and write this book.
There are a lot of quirks, please point them out. As for the typos in the book, please point them out as well.
This book tries to write the spirit of serving the country with loyalty, and also tries to write about the vicissitudes and heaviness of history.
Please give me some advice.
