Zhang Bangchang, the word Shiyan (also known as Ziyan) is a native of Dongguang County, Song Jinshi, and a tired official to Zhongshu Shilang and Shaozai. When the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale for the first time, he first took the king of Kang to the Jin army as a hostage, and then with the king of Su. The Jin army chose him to organize the puppet regime. Under the threat of the Jin army's three-day establishment of Bangchang, and the threat of killing all the people in the city, he officially assumed the position of emperor of the puppet Great Chu regime on March 7. He led the affairs of the Privy Council of Zhongshu Province with the reign of the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Shi Yongquan, the Privy Council of Kaifeng Yin Xu Bingzhe Quan led the Privy Council of Zhongshu Province, the left prime minister of Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Kaiquan Shangshu, the right prime minister of the Hanlin Bachelor Mo Yanquan Shangshu, the former signing of the Privy Council Li Huiquan Privy Council, the former secretary of the Observation Zuo Yanquan Palace, the commander of Fan Qiongquan, and the Dali Secretary Zhou Yi Wenquan Kaifeng Mansion.

On March 7, 1127 A.D., the Jin State set up the original Northern Song Dynasty Dazai Zhang Bangchang as the emperor, the country name "Great Chu", the capital of Jinling, and the Jin State with the Yellow River as the boundary, known as "Pseudo Chu" in history. After ascending the throne, Zhang Bangchang made a series of behaviors to show his loyalty to the Northern Song Dynasty court and did not dare to transgress his duties as a monarch and minister. Later historians, some of them took this as evidence of their loyalty to the Northern Song Dynasty court and their inadvertent desire for the throne, and some of them used it as a cover for themselves to protect their lives.

On April 1, 1127, the Jin army captured the two emperors of Huiqin, the Northern Song dynasty, officials in Beijing and a large number of booty. The next day, Zhang Bangchang listened to the advice of the minister Lu Haowen, sent people to search for King Kang Zhao Gou, and planned to welcome the Meng family into the palace after the abolition of Song Zhezong. On the ninth day, after the abolition of Song Zhezong, the Meng family entered the palace to listen to the government, and Zhang Bangchang respected him as the queen of Yuanyou.

On April 10, 1127, Zhang Bangchang officially announced his abdication, still called Dazai, and Empress Yuanyou listened to the government after Song Zhezong was abolished. The "puppet Chu" regime was thus declared extinct, and it existed for only 33 days (also known as 32 days). Soon after, Empress Yuanyou withdrew the curtain and returned to the palace, and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong officially assumed the throne of the emperor, established the Southern Song Dynasty regime, and named Zhang Bangchang as the king of the county.

After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang and others discussed Zhang Bangchang's disobedience and false orders, and demanded punishment. Zhao Gou exiled him to Tanzhou (present-day Changsha, Hunan), where he died soon after at the age of forty-seven.

It can be said that Zhang Bangchang is the Song Dynasty version of Wang Jingwei. It's just that his fate is much more bitter, and it is much worse than the later pseudo-Qi Liu Yu.

Looking at this traitorous minister at this moment, Zhao Pu thought in his heart, now the two buddies are grasshoppers tied together, they can't run away from you, and they can't leave me, they are all used as hostage materials, and they were lucky enough to be hacked to death with a knife, and they were almost thrown into the oil pot and cooked alive.

"Zhang Xianggong, are you afraid of going to Jinying this time?" Zhao Pu felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, and suddenly asked.

"Lord Wang, are you afraid of death? Jin Jun is a tiger wolf, this time to go to Jin Jun, nine deaths! Zhang Bangchang asked rhetorically.

"Don't be afraid, because I can't die! As long as Bianliang does not fall, I am absolutely safe; If Bianliang falls, I will be a mortal situation! Zhao Pu said confidently, "The essence of war is that both sides are constantly making mistakes, the enemy is making mistakes, and our Song army is also making mistakes." Whoever makes fewer mistakes will be able to win! Our dynasty made a lot of mistakes, but the Jin army also made a lot of mistakes, and the Jin army could not capture Bianliang. You and I can't die, it's just that some difficulties are indispensable! ”

Zhang Bangchang's eyes lit up.

"Now that the state is in decline, I wonder if His Highness has a good plan?" Zhang Bangchang asked.

"There is no good solution, only a war. Although the Jin army is strong, it is not invincible. Although our army is weak, it is not completely without the slightest resistance. Zhao Pudao, "I oppose Li Bangyan's blind surrender, and I also oppose Li Gang's blind resistance, only a protracted war is correct......

Then, Zhao Pu began to tell the Song Dynasty version of the protracted war.

The Song Dynasty was large and weak, and the Jin State was small and strong, which definitely showed that the Jin State could defeat the Song Dynasty, or even annihilate the main force of the Song Dynasty, but it could not destroy the Song Dynasty. There will be a large territory of the Song Dynasty, but it will not be able to effectively control it, so it can only support the puppet regime, or use the old officials of the Liao State and the Song State. Similarly, the weakness of the Song Dynasty's army also determined that in the next ten years, there would often be fewer victories and more defeats. There may be some victories, but the defeat is to occupy the mainstream, don't think that with one or two victories, the Jin army will completely eliminate the Central Plains, it can be said that as long as it occupies the Youyun region, the Jin army will be invincible. As long as the clouds cannot be recovered, even if Hebei is recovered, Hedong and other areas will not be of any use, but will become a heavy burden, and the troops will be scattered and broken by the enemy.

In the midst of constant defeat, the Song army will become stronger and stronger, and there will be a balance of power, or even a partial advantage. But sleep victory. All kinds of latent contradictions will also arise, and then the Northern Expedition will inevitably fail.

Zhao Pu spit and said. Grandpa Mao's argument on protracted war, coupled with the specific national conditions of the Song Dynasty, coupled with nonsense, so the scaring argument was born. The main thrust of this argument is to oppose blind surrender and blind resistance, but to constantly consume the living strength of the Jin army and continue to strengthen the Song army.

The vast information of his previous life and his foresight allowed Zhao Pu to invisibly break free from the shackles of the times, see the most direct and essential things, and propose the most appropriate methods.

In terms of IQ, Zhao Pu is not as good as those scholars; In terms of scheming, it is not as good as Li Bangyan and others; In terms of marching and fighting, it is not as good as the previous commander. But in terms of playing tricks and fooling people, it can be said that no one can compare to him.

Zhang Bangchang's eyes brightened, and he nodded unconsciously, full of approval.

"It can be said that in the future, our DPRK will have two main tasks, one is to form a new army, and the other is to resolutely crack down on those lackeys of the Jin army. The old Praetorian Army is no longer able to adapt to war, and whether we like it or not, this is the trend of the future. If you do it early, you can lose less; If you do it late, you will lose a lot. ”

"The battle of Song and Jin, the protracted war is the mainstream. In the next 20 years, with Bianliang as the center, Hedong and Hebei in the north, and Huaihe and Yangtze River in the south, it will fall into a beacon fire. At that time, it was the people who suffered, tens of millions of people, and it would be good to survive a few million in the end. At that time, there will be a large number of no-man's land, white bones will be exposed in the wild, and there will be no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. ”

War is the most terrible, often ten rooms and nine emptiness, the end of the Qin and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the five Hu Chaohua, the end of the Sui and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Song and Jin wars, the Mongol invasion of the world, the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, these moments of change of dynasty, but also the heaviest moment of bloodshed, the population will be rapidly reduced, and the population of tens of millions is only a few million.

"Then will my Great Song perish?" Zhang Bangchang asked.

"My Great Song Dynasty will not die, but it is destined to be difficult to recover thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" Zhao Pudao.

Historically, there were many people who favored peace in the south, established political power, and shouted the Northern Expedition, but very few people really realized the great cause of the Northern Expedition. Sun Quan failed, Guan Yu failed, Zu Di failed, Chen Qingzhi in white failed, Liu Song failed, Chen Baxian also failed, and later Later Tang also failed, Southern Song also failed, and Nanming also failed......

In history, there were many people who shouted the slogan of the Northern Expedition, but most of them failed. Only two succeeded, one was the tyrant Zhu Chongba, and the other was the later Whampoa Student Army.

In history, so many elites and so many generals shouted the Northern Expedition, but in the end it failed. Zhao Pu doesn't think that he is more awesome than these elites, and his IQ is more high.

The Northern Expedition is often synonymous with failure, and the success of the Northern Expedition is often synonymous with defying the sky.

"Listen to your words, ten years of in-depth books!" Zhang Bangchang was full of admiration, "It's a pity that the prince has the ambition to serve the country, but he has become a proton!" ”

"I have long put life and death out of the way, I only hope that the Western Army will come soon, when the enemy and I are evenly balanced, the Jin Army sees that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, so it avoids retreating!" Zhao Pudao looked worried about the country and the people on his face, but he secretly said to himself in his heart. The hostages are only temporary, once the timing is right, Lao Tzu must escape from prison and be encircled like a dog, it is better to die a vigorous death.

……

A hundred miles away from Bianliang City, there are the divisions of King Qin, some of which are scattered, some tens of thousands, and some are at most thousands; Some are the van armies of various states and roads, some are recruiting new troops, some are anti-thieves and Zhao'an, and some are border troops.

These Qin Wang's divisions were extremely numerous, with a total of 200,000 troops. But the shortcomings are also obvious, poor equipment, little training, weak combat effectiveness. If you say that it sounds good, it is the teacher of the king of Qin, and if you say it is bad, you are here to make up the number.

This is also the sadness of the Song Dynasty.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, was attacked by foreign enemies several times, but it was quickly recovered because the Tang Dynasty had too many strong vassals. Although this is easy to form a feudal town, it also makes the border pass have a strong military strength, even if a foreign enemy breaks through the capital, it will not be able to shake the foundation of the empire.

The Song Dynasty, on the contrary, implemented strong cadres and weak branches, strengthened centralized power, and recovered local financial and military power, etc., gathering 800,000 forbidden troops near Bianliang, and as many as 500,000 in various state capitals. That is to say, some state capitals, such as Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, have only a few thousand troops, and in some small states and counties, the number of troops is less than 1,000. This pattern has limited prevention of warlords separating their territories and wanting to rebel, which can be described as asking for money without money, and without soldiers. Fang La, why Song Jiang failed to rebel is because the local finances are insufficient, the troops are scarce, and there is no capital to rebel.

But this pattern flaw is also fatal, if it is in the world when it is peaceful, there is nothing, if it is in turmoil in the world, especially in the case of constant border troubles, the rapid erosion of the forbidden army near Bianliang, it is fatal, and can even lead to the death of the country. For example, the current Bianliang.

The vicinity of Bianliang is claimed to be 800,000 forbidden troops, although there is a phenomenon of eating empty sounds, but the number of troops is also very large, at least 600,000. However, the combat effectiveness is extremely disappointing, and it is in response to that sentence that the general runs faster than the soldiers, and the soldiers run faster than the common people.

And now in Bianliang, there are 200,000 troops, but they are in a panic, and they even want to make peace, cut the land and pay compensation, send women, and call grandpa. Why is this so, 200,000 troops defending the city and 80,000 troops attacking the city, such a comparison of strengths still can't give people a sense of security.

The combat effectiveness of the army is too poor to give people a sense of security, why the Song Dynasty is asking for peace, of course, there is a reason for the weak character of the monarch and the minister, but also because the combat effectiveness of the Song army is too poor.

Its own army is not hard, and it has no confidence to speak.

The various state capitals of the Song Dynasty, due to the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, can be said to be a lack of soldiers, money, food, and equipment. Now that Bianliang is besieged, in a hurry, most of the Qin Wang's divisions are recruited temporarily, and most of them are trained while walking; Lacking money and food, he had to donate money to some gentry. And the armor and guns are there, so I have to use the old ones.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's plan was good, strong trunks and weak branches, reducing the division of feudal towns, but the effect was poor, the main trunk was weak, and the branches and leaves were also weak.

Hundreds of miles away from Bianliang, a group of men and horses are camping, there are as many as 30,000, the camp is tightly arranged, and the patrolling soldiers are full of fierceness. In a large camp, some generals were arguing.

"Brother, the Jin army is powerful, if it moves forward, it will inevitably clash with the Jin army...... It's better to temporarily station in Bishui, wait and see what happens, wait for reinforcements to arrive, converge into one force, and enter Bianliang! ”

"It's a war avoidance!" The planter raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, it's not that I'm avoiding the war, it's that my strength is not as good as others!" The middle way of the planter.
