Stability in the North
On June 12, 1162, the day after becoming emperor, Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan led all the officials to Deshou Palace, the new home of Emperor Zhao Gou, to greet him.
On the 13th, amnesty was granted to the world. Song Xiaozong originally wanted to visit Deshou Palace every day, but Zhao Gou did not allow it. By the Ministry of Rites Lang Huang Zhongjian yì, according to the precedent of the Emperor Taishang of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang on the fifth day, we also have a dynasty on the fifth day.
On the 13th, Wanyan ordered the guards of important passes on the Great Wall, such as Juyong Pass and Gubeikou, to strictly inspect Khitan spies, captivators and officials. On the 14th, he ordered 10,000 households to lead 4,000 troops to guard Gubeikou and Jizhou Shimen Pass. At the same time, he gave an edict to the servants and loyal and righteous that "the officers and men in the army have committed crimes, and they are not in addition to their posts, and they are engaged in military law, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded according to their qualifications", and they also issued an edict to the soldiers who went to quell the rebellion: "The soldiers will be stationed in the border for a long time, and the beetles will spend money and money, and the people will not be allowed to rest." Today, he is loyal to the political affairs of Pingzhang and the right deputy marshal. It is advisable to work together, without or slackening"
Considering that it has been less than 40 years since the fall of the Liao State, and the race is huge, not to mention that it will grow rapidly like a snowball within the Jin State, even if things go wrong and flee to the West, you can find the Western Liao of the same origin... You don't need to turn to the Southern Song Dynasty at all, you can make the Jin Kingdom anxious!
The Khitan, the Southern Song Dynasty, and the domestic aristocracy who became the hatred of the whole country because of the completion of Yan Liang... These three pressures are the most severe since the founding of the Dajin Kingdom, and the people who are affected by it are the ones who have always been weak. In any way, he can't afford it? The amazing thing is that the way to save the situation is "weakness"!
Wanyan Bao sent people to the Southern Song Dynasty to propose peace, hoping to maintain all the terms of the Shaoxing Peace Treaty. No matter what the result is, stabilize Jiangnan first!
At the same time, for the domestic spring breeze and rain, some of the former descendants of Wanyan Liang were specially promoted. Take this opportunity to sue the wall-riding faction, hesitant faction, and opposition faction in China: All sins are committed by Yan Liang alone! Pardon all but him! How could the Jurchens, who had been devastated and soaked in the mountain of corpses in the Sea of Blood for 13 years, stand this? Immediately pounce on Wan Yan Bao's warm and generous embrace!
And finally, the Khitan! The feud between Liaojin and Jin has been entangled for hundreds of years, and the contradictions have intensified in recent years, so it is said that there is absolutely no room for maneuver? But the posture made by Wan Yan Bao couldn't be lower! He personally wrote the holy decree, all the Khitans who rebelled, all who voluntarily surrendered were not guilty, and the status of slaves was upgraded to civilians... This edict is historic, and it demonstrates the unprecedented benevolence of the Jurchens. Although it did not play a role at the time, the rebellious Khitans preferred to die rather than surrender. But the image of Wanyan has been successfully established!
17th. Fusan Zhongyi met the 80,000 Khitan rebels on a narrow road at the flower road, which is about 60 kilometers north of Dading Mansion. Zhongyi immediately ordered Wanyan Zongheng to be the left wing and Zongxu to be the right wing, and fought against the rebel army across the river. After crossing the river with his army, he also divided his troops into two, first attacking the enemy's right flank, and the Jin army Wanhu Zara led 600 cavalry to fight and kill the Liao soldiers. Nest then attacks the opponent's left flank. Wanyan Zongheng and Fucha Shijie made a command error. It was broken by the Liao army. Fucha Shijie immediately joined the Zara army. Wanyan Zongxu led the right-wing army to rescue at the same time. Zara fought hard, and the Liao army could not win. So he moved to the nest and ordered the soldiers to protect his mother, wife, and baggage from the west, and he fled with his elite soldiers. It was agreed to meet behind the mountain.
Of course, Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining would never allow the Movers to escape, and they led their army to catch up with 30,000 elite horsemen who were wading east of the water at the spring in the west of the Yuanling Ridge, more than 100 kilometers southwest of Hanamichi. At that time, it was dark and foggy, and it was impossible to distinguish objects within a step. Servants are loyal and prayed to the heavens, "Rags are raging, killing innocents." The sky does not help evil, when it is to open the sun" suddenly darkened and foggy. He did not dare to attack the left flank army on Nangang, which had a geographical advantage, so he attacked the right flank army. Relying on Zara's strength again, he repelled the offensive of the Liao army. After that, Su Shi Lie Zhining and Gualjia Qingchen led the Jin army to defeat the Liao army. The Liao army wanted to wade through the water and escape, but the mud could not be crossed. The Jin soldiers chased after him, and the people and horses trampled on each other and the dead were innumerable, and even reached Cheng Dù, who was trapped in the spring. The rest of the crowd passed by, or ran away from the forest. In this battle, the Liao army was killed and captured, and the younger brother of the Shifter Wo Hu, the king of the Sixth Academy, was captured by the Jin army. The mother of Huhan raised her camp and walked from Luogangxi, but was pursued by Sushi Lie Zhining, lost all her baggage, and more than 10,000 people were captured. Moved to Xidi and fled, and the Jin soldiers chased them to the Qidu River, but they were defeated again. chased through the Hunling Mountains again, and the nest was defeated again.
Wan Yan Bao was busy quelling the First Khitan Uprising, while Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan began his road to revival! Recalling the plans for the transformation of the empire that I have repeatedly imagined for nearly 30 years, I began to implement them one by one!
First of all, fresh air... For so many years, the national spirit of the Southern Song Dynasty has been suppressed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui into a perverted atmosphere, full of shady, embezzlement, corruption, servility and other despicable atmospheres. On a spiritual level, the empire is a huge junkyard dump!
On the 19th, Zhao Yan specially issued an edict, asking the officials to re-appear and work hard, "I inherit the holy teachings, keep the Piji, bow obscenely, entrust the princes and the people, be conscientious, afraid of the German and thin, not sensitive, not reasonable, how will the emperor arrest the early government of Xi, and call the grace of the Taishang!" Yongwei ancient ancestors ruled the dynasty, set the drum to extend the dare to admonish, and set up a tree to seek slander, so the love is not stuffed in the upper news, and the rise of the merit is also, I admire it very much. In addition, the people who recommend the gentry today, Xianhuai are loyal and good, and there is no one who can get anything! I have made mistakes, there are deficiencies in the government, the people have weal and woe, and the four seas are favorable. Carefully state it, in order to enlighten me, do not hide it, do not worry about future harm. Since then, the government has been lost, and Xu Chinese and foreign scholars have spoken out, and they have been inspected and tested, and the drum courtyard has been thrown. Outside the state army in the actual seal to hear"
After that, Zhao Yan began to rehabilitate those who had been persecuted by Qin Hui's party in the past 20 years. For example, Li Guang, Zhao Ding, Fan Chong, Zhu Zhen, Xin Ciying, Hu Quan, Zhang Jun and others were all restored to their reputations, and those who were dead were posthumously sealed, and those who were still alive entered Beijing, joined the political team of the new dynasty, and jointly reformed the country! These people are the key targets of Qin Hui, and the common people are the general targets of Qin Hui, Zhao Tuan promoted the key people, and of course the feelings of the general people were quickly improved! The people's sense of justice and honor has returned. Of course, Zhao's nightmare also began...
On the 22nd, Zhao Yan first reinstated Hu Quan and appointed him as the governor of Raozhou.
Huang Zhongshang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, "Feng Tai Emperor edict, the ministers finally agreed: every month, except for Shuo and Wangri, the emperor will meet in the palace of Dekushou Palace. Please meet twice at Dekushou Palace on the 8th and 22nd of each month, and as the ceremony in the palace "The final edict of Xiaozong is approved."
After that, Song Xiaozong needs to set up an idol: Zhang Jun! On the 27th, Zhao Yan summoned Zhang Jun to the Jiankang Mansion in a handwritten letter. Zhang Jun was invited to Lin'an, and the emperor personally received "the name of the public for a long time, and now the court relies on the only public" Zhang Jun said, "The master of the people is the first to study." The study of the master is based on one heart. If you are in harmony with the sky, what is wrong! The so-called heaven is the axiom of the world. He will be conscientious and self-controlled, so that he will bow clearly. then reward and punish measures. Nothing wrong. The people's hearts return to themselves, and the strong neighbors are self-serving" Zhao Yan replied "never forget the public words" Zhang Jun tried to make peace in front of the heroic Zhao Yan of Tianxi, and persuaded the emperor to insist on doing things.
On the same day, Song Xiaozong gave Zhang Jun great favor. Zhang Jun was crowned as the Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy. Command the two Huai and the two rivers fronts! This fulfilled Zhang Jun's lifelong wish. He did not hesitate to make the Huaixi military mutiny, and the overall command that he wanted to win has finally arrived!
Zhao Tuan also made an exception and crowned Zhang Jun as a young master and Wei Guogong! This is equivalent to giving posthumous seals in advance. The Song Dynasty had a system: except for members of the royal family. Ministers with foreign surnames can only enter the state and can only be entitled in the order of small countries, sub-countries, and large countries. Zhang Jun was about to be crowned second minister and privy envoy. He has been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom. And Zhang Jun had been the second minister and the prince of the country during the Gaozong Dynasty, "He" was a small country at the first level, while "Wei" was a top big country... Without the merit of size, the first official was promoted to two levels!
On July 12, Zhao Yan issued an edict to Zhao Zitong, the prefect of Lin'an, ordering him to stop Jingyin's food supply and good operation, "It is better to visit carefully, and if there are things that disturb the people, they will start one by one." If the supply is stopped, the money saved is more than 20,000 yuan, and the people can be removed from the interference."
On the 13th, Song Xiaozong Zhao Tuan rehabilitated Yue Fei! At this time, nearly 21 years have passed since the injustice of Fengbo Pavilion, and Yue Fei's injustice is known to the world, but no one can do anything. Before ascending the throne, Zhao Tuan was the same, when he was 14 years old, he had seen Yue Fei in the Zishan School, at that time Yue Fei was overjoyed, thinking that the country had won people, and turned around to Zhao Jianjian yì early to establish the crown prince... As a result, Zhao Gou was killed!
The 36-year-old Zhao Tuan looked back at the past, and missed this unborn hero from the bottom of his heart, this gift from God to the Song Dynasty! He ordered Yue Fei's reputation, official position, and fief to be restored, and took Yue Fei's family back to their original place of residence. And Yue Fei's bones were finally found in the tomb with two orange trees outside the Qiantang Gate in the northwest of Lin'an City, at the northern foot of the Jiuqu Cong Temple...
The hero was ceremoniously buried by the official, and Zhao Tuan built a temple for Yue Fei with a huge amount of money of one million yuan, and gave him the name "Loyal Martyrs' Shrine" (17 years later, Song Xiaozong gave Yue Fei the most respected nickname "Wu Mu"). During the Jiading period of Ningzong, because Han Yanxuan was determined to go on a northern expedition, he posthumously named Yue Fei as the king of Hubei. In 1513, Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of Hangzhou, Ma Long, cast four iron statues of Qin Hui, Wang, Wan Qianyu and Zhang Jun in front of the tomb of King Yue, all of whom tied their hands behind their backs and knelt on their knees. In the future, everyone who came to visit here would spit in the faces of these four people, and it was customary to make an agreement from then on. Later generations have a poem "Qingshan is fortunate to bury loyal bones, and white iron innocently casts ministers")
On the 27th, the Xuyi army guards played the inscription of the border marshal of the Jin State, saying that the other party had the intention of peace, and hoped that the two countries could defend their old frontiers. Song Xiaozong issued an edict that "the enemy seeks old gifts, and from there, he cannot bear to be humiliated, and if he does not obey, he will be left behind." There is an endless stream of reformed people in the Central Plains, and if they accept it, the southeast force cannot be given, otherwise the heart of absolute direction. At this time, an important figure: Zhao Yan's teacher, Shi Hao, who had just been appointed as the governor, appeared on the stage of history! Started a confrontation with Zhang Jun! Shi Hao insists on focusing on harmony, and only by looking at opportunities can he recover; Zhang Jun insisted on being tough on Kim and never compromised!
Although Zhao Yan reused Zhang Jun and worked hard to revive, he was re-emotional, and this character trait made this Song Xiaozong in a contradiction all his life. Shi Hao's appearance ruined the best situation in the Southern Song Dynasty since Yue Fei was killed! Because of Shi Hao's insistence, although Zhang Jun strongly opposed it, Xiaozong still sent Liu Heng to envoy Jin Guo. At the same time, he ordered Wang Che, the governor of the political affairs, to study Hubei and western Beijing.
In the north, more than 10,000 scattered soldiers were collected into the Xi Department to benefit themselves. On August 1, Gao Zhongjian, the left supervision army of Dajin, broke the Xi soldiers in the Lishan Mountain, recruited the Xi Sixth Battalion next to it, and those who did not surrender broke it. He led the counterattack and attacked Gubeikou. The Jin army's guard general, Wanhu Winterhea Ludai, was not in the barracks because it was his wife's birthday that day, and the Liao army was victorious. Wan Yan Bao urgently sent Wan Yan Mouyan to lead 3,000 troops to meet the local defenders to counterattack. This time, Mouyan will no longer linger. Because not long ago, someone accused his son Sege of rebellion. After Yan Bao's investigation, it turned out to be a false accusation, and the false accuser was punished, and said to Wan Yan Mouyan, "If someone sues Qingzi for rebellion, I will not do this" In order to repay the emperor's trust, Wan Yan Mouyan worked hard this time, defeated the Liao army, and captured its thief party.
On the 9th, Wan Yan praised the edict "The people wrote to Chen Shizheng, and his words were still supplemented." Qing and others are in a confidential position, and there is no contribution, but what? The husband listens to the prison lawsuit, and the book will be held in the future, who can't! The saint of Tang Yu, who is also a scholar and a scholar, can be governed. Wan Yanliang saw it alone, so he was defeated. I work diligently in the morning and evening, hoping to hear the opinions, and the Qing and others should be considerate. Hundreds of officials who write and say things, or are suppressed by the department, are allowed to enter the table to hear. I will see it for myself to see the advantages and disadvantages of talents"
On the 13th, Wan Yan ordered the marshal to lead his subordinates to join the loyal army of Fusan to quell the rebellion.
On the 23rd, Wan Yan issued an edict to Yushitai, "Bureaucrats below the three dukes, good and evil, should be examined." If you stop taking care of the details and ignore the big ones, you will be punished for the crimes of the secretary and others."
In September, Wanyan Sijing and Fusan Zhongyi met in Xidi. At this time, the first Khitan uprising had collapsed. The thieves fell more, and the rest died of the epidemic, and there was no fighting spirit. He planned to flee from the four capitals of Yangcheng Road to Western Xia. The Jin soldiers chased after him urgently, and many of them died. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape from Western Xia, so he changed his route again and wanted to flee north to Shatuo. But his men were no longer willing to flee with him. On the 7th they bound the mother and wife of the Wo and surrender to the servants. The First Khitan Uprising was put down. On the 11th, the crown prince Wanyan Yundi led hundreds of officials to congratulate him. On the 12th, Dajin issued an edict to China and foreign countries: The relocation of the Nest has been pacified. On the 18th, the relocation was slashed by a thousand knives.
In this process, the strength of the Jin State was not only not weakened, but also strengthened internal unity. And after the end of the war, Wanyan praised this unity to escalate again for the first time! He announced: All the infantry of the Central Plains Army who participated in Yan Liang's southern expedition will be repatriated home. As long as the peasants in the Han uprising in Shandong returned to their homes and farmed, they were all pardoned. The Jurchens who moved to the Han region in the Central Plains, and whose fathers, brothers, and sons all joined the army, were exempted from dismissal and went home! (To be continued......)
