Then again, from the perspective of fighting against the Jin soldiers, Du Chong broke the embankment of the Yellow River and released the water of the Yellow River to flood the Jin soldiers, which still had a certain effect.

How many troops the Jin State sent to invade the Song Dynasty this time is not clearly recorded in historical documents.

Historical documents only record that when these Jin soldiers flowed along the water of the Yellow River to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, only five or six thousand cavalry remained.

Judging from the scale of the previous Jin State troops, each time it ranged from 30,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses, and it stands to reason that this time the number of troops will not be less than the previous ones.

From the analysis of the data, the flooding of the Yellow River this time actually wiped out most of the strength of the Jin soldiers!

It's just that the remaining five or six thousand elite cavalry of the Jin Kingdom were driven and guided by the great water of the Yellow River, and unknowingly, they actually shifted their target to Yangzhou, the temporary palace where Emperor Gaozong was located.

In other words, our Lord Du Chong did not solve the problem, but only handed over the hot potato of Jin Bing to the hands of the little emperor Gaozong in a very cruel way.

In other words, Du Chong led the water to the east and led the Jin soldiers away in the southeast direction.

From the observation of the subsequent historical process, this catastrophe not only washed away the small court of Emperor Gaozong and collapsed, but also directly led to the first resignation of Emperor Gaozong and the death of Emperor Gaozong's only biological son

Time cannot be turned back, and there is no regret in this world for selling medicine; However, history can be assumed.

If Emperor Gaozong had heeded the advice of the front-line state and appointed Zong Ze's son Zong Ying as the new governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, it is conceivable that Wang Shan, Yang Jin and other rebels would not have left Bianliang City so easily. will stay and fight with Jin Bing to the end.

And so it goes. The Golden Soldier will not start a war easily. The Yellow River will not burst its banks, and the Jin soldiers will certainly not make a detour to Xuzhou, Heqi and other state capitals until Yangzhou.

If the Jin soldiers did not come to Yingtianfu, Emperor Gaozong would not need to flee or abdicate, and Gaozong's only biological son would not have died due to fright

All of this stems from Emperor Gaozong's insulting gift to the old marshal Zongze after his death, as well as the wrong appointment of the new Kaifeng Mansion.

No wonder Buddhism often says, "One drink and one peck." It's not predetermined; The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant. ”

The strangeness of history can be seen from this

Wanyan Muhan took his three golden wolf warriors, Wanyan Balisu, Wulinda Taiyu, Yelu Ma Wu, and 6,000 elite cavalry, along the surging Yellow River, and marched towards the southeast.

The Jin soldiers first captured Xuzhou, an important town in the Central Plains, and then moved south from Xuzhou to attack Hexi; Then he went south to attack Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu), Sizhou, and aimed directly at Yangzhou, and there was a posture of not giving up if he did not capture Zhao Gou.

As for why Jin Bing was so clear about Zhao Gou's whereabouts, there is no record in the history books

The elite cavalry of this Jin country had neither food and grass nor logistics personnel. There weren't even any siege engines, all of them were cavalry combat units. Therefore, the speed of advancement is extremely high, and it cannot be measured by the speed of advancement on weekdays.

Wan Yan Muhan's heart has also begun to hair.

Jin Bing suffered heavy losses this time, and if he couldn't get some passable spoils from the south, it was estimated that he would be severely punished again, and even his head would fall to the ground.

The gold lord Wanyan Wu Qimai has been in power for a long time, and his majesty is becoming more and more vigorous, and he is becoming more and more harsh on the brothers of the Wanyan family.

The purpose of this golden army is clear, the combat power is super, and the speed of advance is extremely fast, and from the perspective of modern military eyes, this is simply a typical assault war, blitzkrieg, or decapitation battle

There was a small episode in the rapid advance of the Jin soldiers: Han Shizhong, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty and the general of Pingkouzuo in the imperial camp in Huaiyang, retreated without a fight, led his personal entourage in the middle of the night, and fled to Yancheng County by boat and tide.

History of the Song Dynasty. It is recorded in the Gaozong Benji: Han Shizhong, the general of the imperial camp Pingkouzuo, was defeated in Shuyang Shizhong and ran to Yancheng.

The next day, when Han Shizhong's subordinates found that the main general had fled, the dragons were leaderless, and the people were panicked, and they scattered in all directions.

Among them, the partial general Fu Kui gathered in Lianshui, Li Zai occupied Gaoyou, and Li Yan of the military management team led his team to flee to the sea first, and the rest collected scattered soldiers in groups, which are innumerable.

Historians generally believe that the defeat of Shuyang was the worst defeat in Han Shizhong's career.

Han Shizhong not only did not resist, but also restrained Yan Stickyhan, but also left a large number of routs in the Huai River area; Most of these routs turned into rogues, harming the local people.

This time, Han Shizhong behaved so cowardly and powerless, which was in stark contrast to his heroic and unyielding attitude when he later confronted Jin Bing.

This has also become a small unsolved case in history.

In fact, historians have not made clear the context of the circumstances.

Because Du Chong burst the Yellow River dam, the Yellow River flooded, seizing the mouth of the Huai River to discharge floodwater, and Shuyang, which was guarded by Han Shizhong at that time, was on the bank of the Huai River, that is, the most severely affected Yellow Flood Area.

In other words, Han Shizhong's troops were actually crushed by the flood, and they did not flee without a fight

At this time, the small imperial court in Yangzhou did not know that Han Shizhong's troops had been dispersed.

And Zhang Zheng, the middle of the imperial history, is still asking the ministers of the court for advice on how to fight against the Jin soldiers and protect the enemy and protect the land with the topic of unsettled border affairs.

On this topic, Zhang Shou of the Living Lang and Quanzhi Academy gave a recital:

"Since last winter, the Jin soldiers have broken through the prefectures of Pu Zhuzhou, and now they have waved their divisions in Shandong and Lianghuai, although His Majesty has sent Han Shizhong and Fan Qiong to lead the troops to resist, but I am afraid that the two generals will not be able to resist the Jin soldiers! For the sake of today's plan, we must first find out the situation at the front

At present, there are two countermeasures: one is to defend the Huai, and the other is to cross the river.

If the strategy of guarding Huai is adopted, heavy troops should be stationed in Chuzhou, Sizhou and Huaiyin, in case the Jin soldiers suddenly penetrate deeply. But what needs to be worried is that if our army stands timidly and looks at the wind and disperses, then the enemy army may cut the raft and cross the Huai to the south; Or first cut off my way across the river with elite cavalry, and have to be defended

If the strategy of crossing the river is adopted, heavy troops should be stationed in Shengzhou and Runzhou, so that it will be difficult for the enemy to pursue for a while. But in this way, it will be farther and farther away from the Central Plains, and it is very easy to shake the people's hearts; Most of the soldiers in Yangzhou now are from the northwest, and they are reluctant to go south, and if they are forced, accidents are likely to happen; Moreover, even if the river is crossed, Yangzhou still has to leave part of the troops, and the troops under the protection of His Majesty will inevitably be reduced."

To tell the truth, when in the "Renewal of Capital Governance Tongjian". When I read the above text in Volume 103, I was almost stunned: who is this living man and Zhang Shou of the Quanzhi Academy, how did he analyze the problem so thoroughly, and did he travel back to the Song Dynasty from modern times?

This example proves that the Song Dynasty did not have no capable people, but that there were capable people but they were not reused...... (To be continued......)
