On January 27, the 31st year of Shaoxing (1161), Wan Yanliang ordered: from Zhongdu to the prefecture and county of Henan, 2,000 knights were transferred. Then he commanded the army from all over the place, and selected those who were good at archery to get 5,000 people, and divided them into five armies, all of which were combined with silk and armor. Purple leaves are the first, and green mushrooms are secondary. The "hard army" or "fine army" Wan Yanliang often boasted that "to take Jiangnan, these 5,000 people are enough"

On February 1, the celestial phenomenon changed: the sun had a halo on its back. Wan Yan Liang immediately summoned Si Tianjian Ma Guizhong, "Recently, how is the way of heaven like" Ma Guizhong replied "its occupation, the soldiers entered the court of the Son of Heaven" Wan Yan Liang was overjoyed, "Today will be the southern expedition, and it is also the matter", but Ma Guizhong shook his head, "This is not the appearance of His Majesty entering the court of the Son of Heaven in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the appearance of someone entering the court of His Majesty." or for the soldiers, or for the thieves" Wanyan Liang was suddenly displeased "When the soldiers are booming, the thieves can't do without it"

This month, Wan Yanliang left Yanjing City, the central capital, and went south to Kaifeng City. Preparing to move the capital and march south...

On March 9, Yang Chun was promoted to the position of Governor. On the 17th, Shangshu's right servant shot Chen Kangbo was promoted to Shangshu's left servant, and Zhu Zhuo, the governor of the political affairs, was promoted to Shangshu's right servant.

On the 20th, Wan Yanliang arrived in Henan Province.

On April 1, the Southern Song Dynasty court finally realized that the Jin people were determined to defeat the alliance and that war was inevitable, so they made some pre-war preparations. Ordered the two Huai generals to divide their own boundaries and defend themselves. Measures to set up people's cooperatives, increase the wall and accumulate grain. At that time, all the armies in front of the imperial army were under control, Wu Luan Shu Wuxing, Yao Zhongshu Xingyuan, Wang Yanshu Hanyin, Li Daoshu Jingnan, Tian Shizhong Shu Ezhu, Qi Fangshu Jiujiang, Li Xianzhong Shu Chiyang, Wang Quan Shu Jiankang, Liu Qi Shu Zhenjiang, and the barriers faced each other. Only Xiangyang, an important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and guarded by the Yuejia army back then, was not ready for war, so he urgently promoted Wu Gong, the son of Wu Jue, to be the prefect of Xiangyang, and led 3,000 Wu troops to defend Xiangyang.

On the 5th, Wan Yan Liang ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to go to Kaifeng to govern affairs first. Shangshu Province, the Privy Council, the Dazong Zhengfu, the Quannongsi, the Taifu, and the Shaofu are all in line. The officials, households, soldiers, and 4 criminal departments, the Sifang Pavilion, the Metropolitan Water Supervisor, and the Dali Priest each left one member to accompany him.

After that, Wan Yanliang appointed Gao Jingshan and Wang Quan as the main and deputy envoys to congratulate the Song Dynasty's birthday. Suoqi's ministers and the land of Huaihan. If not. That is, to denounce it. He will not dare to harm you, "tell Gao Jingshan" to come back, and listen to all Wang Quan's words and deeds"

On the 8th, Wan Yanliang continued south from Henan Province. On the 15th, we arrived at the hot springs of Yeouju. Again sent envoys to levy troops and horses. During a hunt, he suddenly encountered a running deer. Caught off guard, Wan Yan Liang fell off the horse and vomited blood for several days...

This month, Zhou Linzhi and Su Hua were appointed as the chief and deputy Dajin Fengbiao congratulatory envoys to congratulate Yan Liang on moving the capital. Su Hua died suddenly before he could set off, so he was replaced by Zhang Luan.

On May 4, Jin envoys Gao Jingshan and Wang Quan entered the country. This envoy is the only special case since the Song, Jin, and Shaoxing peace talks. In the past ten years. The Jurchens became very Khitan, and the envoys sent by the two sides every year were as polite as when Song Liao established diplomatic relations. For example, like Shi Yisheng last time, he can talk about pen and ink across the table, can travel the mountains and rivers, paint and draw, and be elegant. But this time it was different, Gao Jingshan and Wang Quan behaved arrogantly. It was only at this time that Zhao Gou Junchen believed that the other party really had the intention of the Yu Alliance!

On the 8th, Wan Yanliang's evil consequences of this national conscription finally broke out! Except for the Jurchens. Han, Xi, Khitan, Bohai and other ethnic minorities are also all included in the list of conscripts. These already miserable people were forced to go to the battlefield with their wives and daughters. When the sense of suffering and death accumulates to a certain extent, resistance naturally arises! The first Khitan uprising, under the leadership of Saba, broke out vigorously! At first, Wan Yanliang didn't pay much attention to it, and sent the right general Xiao Tula to quell the rebellion...

19th. The envoys of the Jin State, Gao Jingshan and Wang Quan, entered the Zichen Palace. Wang Quan adhered to the intention of Wanyan Liang, and when he faced Zhao Gou, he was full of emotion, and the conditions proposed were only a little worse than when Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was about to fall. After Yan Liang stated, he was very puzzled by the terms of the previous Shaoxing peace talks. After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what the fourth uncle of Wanyan Zongbi, the commander of the Jin Army at that time, thought? I don't understand why the King of Dongwu has not changed in the past ten years? Now, he made a new request to the Southern Song Dynasty:

1. The Huaihe River basin belongs to the Jin State. The two countries are bounded by the Yangtze River.

2. The suzerainty should readjust its policy of governance, and the subordinate states in Jiangnan immediately sent ministers to Kaifeng to report and participate in study classes. The candidates for the ministers are not allowed to be filled in indiscriminately, and they are personally designated by me: Tang Sihui, the current prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Kangbo, the second minister (in fact, Tang Siwei has already resigned from the prime minister at this time, Chen Kangbo is the prime minister), Wang Lun, the privy envoy, and Yang Cunzhong, the commander of the forbidden army.

3 days Shui Jun Gong died.

Zhao Gou heard the first two points clearly, and selectively ignored the third point. Dead individual? Tianshui County Gong? Does it have anything to do with me? The first thing that flashed in his heart was a rare anger! How can I say that I am also an emperor, okay? Haven't you been respectful to Jin Guo all these years? Why don't you give any face, and suddenly kill them all?

Aside from the entire land in the Huai River Valley, just the four top ministers, especially the henchmen who rely on Yang Cunzhong, these people go to Kaifeng purely to enter the tiger's mouth. The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhao Gou became, and said coldly: "The golden envoy is from a famous family, right? Why is there no etiquette at all."

Unexpectedly, Wang Quan jumped up and shouted in a louder voice, "Zhao Huan is dead" The hall was silent, and everyone was stunned! Tianshui Jungong originally referred to Song Qinzong Zhao Huan? Song and Jin are far away, and Song Qinzong is a top political criminal, and the news of his death was only officially reported after 5 years. At this moment, the vast majority of Southern Song officials confirmed the death of the captive emperor for the first time...

Zhao Gou's face changed greatly, and he immediately got up and turned into the apse. There was a big chaos behind him, and Wang Quan was still unrelenting, and continued to shout, "I'm here to negotiate the affairs of the two countries, why don't you ignore me?"

The civil officials were collectively silent, as if they were in silent tribute to Emperor Qinzong for the first time. At the critical moment, Li Heng, the general of the forbidden army, stood up and stopped Wang Quan!

Another general, Liu Yan, reminded Prime Minister Chen Kangbo: "This golden envoy has brought the news of the death of the first emperor, and the tea and wine courtesy that should be given as a regular should be completely waived," Prime Minister Chen was expressionless, "You go and tell the emperor yourself," After speaking, he continued to mourn in silence...

Liu Yan bypassed the screen of the main hall and found that the emperor was not far away. Zhao Gou stood there alone, his body bent, and big tears kept flowing...

Regarding this scene, most historical books interpret it as Zhao Gou was afraid. His cowardly genes collapsed in the face of unprecedented threats and the death of his loved ones, and he was so frightened that he couldn't control himself, and he cried on the spot... Personally, I don't think so. Zhao Gou is cowardly, but this child is scared. Since he was a teenager, he has always stepped on the blade of his life. Dance on the edge of the cliff of death. What hasn't he seen? As for a single threat, it freaks out? It's not realistic!

He cried because he finally confirmed his brother's death from the authorities... The Second Emperor of Huiqin is his long-term heart disease, as long as these two people are alive, he is a fake, a usurper, and an impostor! Over the years, he has been scared, and when someone in Jiangnan mentions welcoming the second saint, he has to smile and praise. In the north, Jin Guo talked about Zhao Huan from time to time, which made it difficult for him to sleep. It's an open secret, and anyone can feel his psychological torment?

But now, Song Qinzong is finally dead... The brotherhood of many years ago suddenly came to my heart. How can people be ruthless? Even if Zhao Gou is cold by nature, he will inevitably be sad... This should be the last little remnant of humanity that he shows as a person...

At the same time, the Southern Song Dynasty began to face up to the threat from the north, and began to discuss the strategy of transferring troops to defend the Jianghuai... On the 22nd, the ministers urgently summoned Zhao Mi, Cheng Min, Li Tou, and Yang Cunzhong, the commanders of the three commanders of the forbidden army, to the capital hall to discuss raising troops. Then he immediately ordered Ling Jingxia, Wang Yingchen, Qian Duanli, Jin Anjie, Zhang Yun, Huang Zushun, Yang Bangbi, Yu Yunwen, Wang Che, Liu Du, Chen Junqing and other attendants and Taiwan officials to come to the meeting. Prime Minister Chen Kangbo first spoke, "Today, we don't even ask about peace and defense, but directly ask how the war will be." Everyone unanimously decided to send Cheng Min to lead all the forbidden troops to organize a defense in the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River. Only Yu Yunwen objected: "There is no need to send so many troops, the enemy will not go down from above." If you are afraid of the Praetorian Guard, there will be fewer soldiers, and the court will be empty. At the same time, there are no soldiers for the use of the two Huai", the ministers did not listen to the gold lord on the grounds that the gold lord was in Ruzhou and was afraid that he would be involved in the Han Dynasty and the south.

At noon, Song Gaozong issued an edict to mourn Song Qinzong.

At this time, the court was raging. Some people thought of escaping, some people insisted on resisting the war, some people were scared and gaffes, etc., but only one person was very calm - Zhao Gou!

He has experienced too many crises in his life, and the so-called long-term illness has become a doctor. I'm already very proficient in it. He rationally compared the status quo with the past, and knew that the big thing was gone, and he could die in the country...

If it is said that the Northern Song Dynasty at that time had the principle of spiritual perdition, but there was no physical parameter of mortality, the current Southern Song Dynasty has really met the condition of mortality!

The military system of the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed for 20 years after the killing of Yue and Han in 1141. During this period, all the famous generals of Zhongxing withered, and the former elite soldiers have long been decrepit. Under Qin Hui's management, there is no talk of a successor at all. Not to mention the morale of the people, is there still anyone who wants revenge and the Northern Expedition in their homeland? Even Yue Fei's name has become taboo, what ambition and recovery can you hope for?

After 20 years, the world finally became what Zhao Gou wanted. He really succeeded, but suddenly he had nothing! Because his master, his suzerain, no longer wants to keep him this dog! It's that simple! All his efforts, perseverance, giving, and killing were meaningless! I don't know how he felt at this time, would he doubt his IQ? Didn't he even know that there would be no eternal peace between the two countries?

Maybe he will always remember the hundred-year good relationship between Song and Liao, but he doesn't have that life and no blessing! The most important thing is that his brain is calcified, and he forgets that the reason why Song Liao was able to be peaceful for a hundred years was because Song Zhenzong personally conquered the Yuan and shot Xiao Tzu Rin, forcing the Liao State to make peace and not dare to disagree! It's very different from his wagging tail and begging! It is completely different from him who did not hesitate to destroy the Great Wall and unjustly kill heroes in order to wag his tail and beg for mercy!

Anyway, at this time, he realized that everything was over, and there was no other way but to escape. So where to go? Sichuan... Or the sea? Entering the inner and inner provinces, they all knew that Zhang went to secretly retreat to him to avoid Fujian and Shu. Fortunately, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty at this time was not Tang Siwei, but Chen Kangbo, who was the main battle, "The enemy country defeated the alliance, and heaven and man were angry!" Today's events, there is no advance or retreat! If the holy will is resolute, then the morale of the soldiers will be doubled. I am willing to divide the three forbidden brigades to help the Xiang and Han forces. Wait for it to strike first, and then respond to "Huang Zhong resolutely advocates the use of troops" The court and Jin Tong have been good for more than 20 years, and I have not tasted a day of war, and he has not forgotten a day of war. Take my year's coins and eat them. Fortunately, the heavens are relieved, so that the first words are used to warn His Majesty, but the Holy Mercy pays attention."

On the 23rd, Wu Lan was urgently promoted to the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy, and jointly defended Sichuan and Shaanxi with Wang Gangzhong, the Sichuan pacification envoy and Chengdu prefect. Zhao Gou also issued an edict: "Kuizhou Road sent 500 troops to Xiazhou to station." Once there is a police in Jingnan, then Kuizhou Road will be appeased so that Li Shiyan will go to his aid."

On the 24th, Zhao Gou personally summoned Cheng Min, the boss of the guard Ma Junsi, and ordered Cheng Min to lead 30,000 people to Wuchang to defend the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. He then ordered Hubei Caochen and Ezhou Shouchen to build 30,000 walled houses to garrison the army. Two days later, he ordered to assemble strategic materials: more than 140 million yuan of Jiangxi folding silk, Huguang Changping square meter money and the length of the last tea, 630,000 stones of Hubei Changping Yicang and Hejiao rice, and 100,000 stones, which were sent to the Huguang front line for backup.

On the 27th, Gao Jingshan, Wang Quan and others resigned.

On the 28th, Zhao Gou issued an edict: the crossbowmen of the forbidden army of the five counties in eastern Zhejiang quickly rushed to Mingzhou, and Shen Cai, the coastal envoy, commanded him; The counties of western Zhejiang and the two prefectures of Qu and Wu rushed to Pingjiang Mansion under the command of Li Bao, deputy governor of western Zhejiang; The counties of Jiangdong rushed to Chizhou, and Li Xianzhong commanded, and the counties of Fujian rushed to Taipingzhou, commanded by Chen Min; The counties of Jiangxi rushed to Jiangzhou and were commanded by Qi Fang; The counties along the border of the two lakes rushed to Jingnan Mansion, commanded by Li Dao... The armies were quickly put in place and a state of war emergency was introduced!

On June 1, Chen Junqing, the palace attendant, was appointed as the acting squire of the military department. Hearing the drums and thinking about the good general, after 20 years, who else is available? Chen Junqing recommended Zhang Jun again. Zhao replied: "Its talents are sparse. Make it handsome all the way, or considerable; If you supervise the army again, you will be defeated" Chen Junqing said, "Everyone thinks Jun, why don't you give it a try?" No! Never! The fiasco of Fuping and the Huaixi Army are vivid, how can such a person be of great use? So who else? At least a few more people in the country can be expected. Such as Li Xianzhong, this is a generation of famous generals; Another example is Wu Lan, this is the chief general of the Wu family army who is equal to the Yue family's army...

… It's been 20 years, Zhao Gou is in a trance, many people and things are floating in his heart, a personal name is flickering, they are all dead... At this time, Zhao Conception remembered the name of another person, 21 years ago, it was this name that opened the most glorious and magnificent chapter of the Northern Expedition - Liu Qi! It's a name that's almost forgotten! This young man who once flew bravely and showed off his strength in the millions of troops on the battlefield of Fuping; The middle-aged who once blocked the Jin Army alone, won the victory over Shunchang, and ignored the gold medal of the class division, and insisted on ethics in my own way, have become a thing of the past and a legend... (To be continued......)
