Chapter 369: The hearts of the people are turned back

Regarding Yue Fei's request for resignation, Emperor Gaozong did not agree, but gave Yue Fei a reply:

"Fang Zhizhi calculated, helped the long-term plan, there is no period of rest, but there is a request to tell the old. Although Qing is ambitious, the solid taste lies in the mountains and forests; And the ministers, can they forget about the royal family? Please do not allow it. ”

Not only that, the Lin'an Imperial Court also found out that in this Northern Expedition, Yue Yun "made meritorious contributions to the generals", but Yue Fei did not report it according to the usual practice.

As a result, the imperial court thought that Yue Fei's practice was "not rewarded, and it was not a national canon", so Yue Yun was promoted to Zuowu Doctor and Zhongzhou Defense Envoy.

Obviously, although the suspicion was too great, just because "there was no time to settle down", Emperor Gaozong did not dare to cut Yue Fei's military handle along the river.

As long as he has not signed a peace treaty with the Jin State, he Yue Fei is still Emperor Gaozong's biggest support, and Emperor Gaozong will definitely not abandon his martial arts and tear down his own pillars.

So, with a stomach full of grievances, resentment and dissatisfaction, under the urging of the imperial court many times, Yue Fei still went to Lin'an Mansion to meet the emperor.

It's just that when they met, both the monarchs and ministers were quite embarrassed, and Emperor Gaozong did some faΓ§ade reassurance, and Yue Fei didn't explain much, just politely thanked him.

It's a pity, it's a shame. This was almost Yue Fei's last chance to explain to Emperor Gaozong the current military situation between the Jin and Song dynasties.

At the beginning, Zhang Jun could persuade Emperor Gaozong to move the palace from Lin'an Mansion to Jiankang Mansion with his three-inch tongue; Why can't you, Yue Fei, explain it to Emperor Gaozong and let Emperor Gaozong support you again.

Probably Yue Fei thinks that in the previous battle report. My meaning has been made clear. The situation between Song and Kim has also been thoroughly analyzed. There is no need to repeat itself here.

But you, Yue Fei, should know that the prime minister has a right, which is called "staying in the middle and not sending it", not only can the following reports be suppressed, but even the emperor's holy decree can be intercepted.

This kind of thing, don't talk about Qin Hui, even Li Gang did it back then.

As a frontier general, every opportunity to meet the emperor is very precious. Why don't you fight for more, at least you can disgust Qin Hui!

It's a pity that Yue Fei didn't do this!

History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Yue Fei: "Feili please dismiss the handle, don't allow, enter the Hajj from Lu, ask the emperor, and fly to thank you." ”

The return of the Yue family's squad to the dynasty was a very huge blow to the rebels and the people in the Central Plains, and it was devastating, because what awaited them would be the revenge of the Jurchens.

Li Baojun was defeated by the Jin general Xu Wen in the area of Kaide Province. Forced to move south.

Li Bao captured the Jin people's fleet in the Guangji army and captured a lot of silver, silk, money, and grain. Take a boat ride south along the canal. When he arrived in Xuzhou, Li Bao, according to Cao Yang's suggestion, attacked a Jin army that was going to Zengshu, killed countless enemies, and captured more than 70 people as a living mouth.

When this rebel army passed through the Huaiyang army, dozens of Jin soldiers chased after him from behind, and asked who it was, Li Bao replied directly: "I am Cao Zhou Li Sanye, I want to return to the imperial court!" ”

Li Bao quickly captured dozens of prisoners, and when the troops arrived in Chuzhou, they were all handed over to Han Shizhong.

Seeing that Li Bao was so brave, Han Shizhong was courteous and stayed, Li Bao cried loudly, saying that he must return to the Yue family's army. Han Shizhong had no choice but to write a letter to ask Yue Fei's opinion.

Yue Fei replied: "It's all for the country, so why divide each other." ”

As a result, Li Bao officially served in Han Shizhong's army.

In Jingdong, Fengfu County, Qingfu Prefecture (Jin changed to Tai'an Prefecture), the anti-Jin rebel army led by Zhang Gui, the "pawn", was suppressed by the Jin general Wang Bolong.

Li Xingjun, who guarded Xijing Henan Mansion, repeatedly thwarted the attacks of the Jin general Li Cheng; Li Cheng was helpless and asked Wanyan Wushu to reinforce a large number of military horses.

In September of the tenth year of Shaoxing, Li Xing abandoned the city of Henan Province and moved to Baima Cottage in Yongning County due to being outnumbered.

Li Cheng besieged the cottage in winter, Li Xing waved his troops to burn the enemy camp at night, and chased and killed eighteen Song Li north of Luoshui, until Sanxiang Town, Fuchang County, and fought Kejie, Li Cheng fled and ran back to Henan Mansion.

In June of the 11th year of Shaoxing, Li Xing organized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to retreat south, repelled the sudden attack of several thousand Jin cavalry in Dazhang Valley, and went through hardships to reach Ezhou.

Li Xing was later appointed as the commander of the Left Army and became Niu Gao's deputy.

When Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and others heard that the army was divided, they refused to cross the river and retreat to the south, and still fought against the Jin army north of the Yellow River.

They went to various places, and in the area of Daimyofu and Kaide Mansion, they intercepted Jin and Baogang on the Shandong Road of the Jin Dynasty and Ma Gang on the Hebei Road as their own food supplies.

Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and others were born and died, defeated strong enemies, suffered a lot, and at the end of the eleventh year of Shaoxing and the beginning of the twelfth year of Shaoxing, they returned to Ezhou, the headquarters of the Yuejia army, in batches.

Jizhou and Beijing Daimyo Mansions, which were under the control of the Hebei Anti-Jin Righteous Army, were also successively broken by the Jin soldiers.

Wang Zhongzhi led the anti-Jin rebel army, and was ordered by the Xuanfu Division of Sichuan and Shaanxi to move to Shaanxi to rescue the long-besieged Qingyang Mansion; When he led his troops through Yan'an Mansion, he was unfortunately captured by the rebel general Zhao Weiqing.

The Jin army escorted Wang Zhongzhi to the city of Qingyang to persuade him to surrender, and he shouted:

"I am a loyal and righteous person in Foshan, and I am held by the Jin people, so I came to surrender. May the soldiers not bear the court, stick to the city wall, and die under the city if they are loyal! ”

Wang Zhongzhi's generosity is righteous.

Many loyal people similar to Wang Zhongzhi are still fearless in the face of danger, and encourage each other with "don't live up to the court".

However, the Song court under the control of Song Gaozong and Qin Hui ignored the remnants of their homeland; The vast anti-Jin rebel army in the north finally fell into defeat due to the lack of support from the regular army and the huge disparity in military strength with the Jin Dynasty

One thing is certain, prior to Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, the Jin state's rule in the Central Plains was unstable, and the vast majority of Han Chinese had varying degrees of resistance and resistance to the Jurchens.

The resolute attitude is naturally to expose the uprising, occupy the mountain as the king, and directly confront the Jin soldiers; Although those with a negative attitude did not dare to draw their swords against the Jin soldiers, they held negative practices in various aspects such as forced labor and taxes, which made it difficult for the Jin people to govern smoothly.

It is for this reason that Jin Guo praised Liu Yu as the emperor at the beginning. Let the Han people govern the Han people.

Yue Fei's Northern Expedition this time. Thunder sweeps the holes. Under the repeated impacts, the Jin soldiers were beaten to the ground, scattered, and miserable.

As a result, the people in the Hesu area of the Central Plains were boiling.

They opened their hearts, "carried incense pots, transported grain and grass", and did their best to help the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty from all aspects. However, their enthusiasm is in their hearts. In the end, what was exchanged was the ruthless abandonment of the Southern Song Dynasty court and the bloody revenge of the Jin State.

The hearts of the people of the Central Plains were broken, and their blood gradually became cold.

It's one thing to think about it.

No matter who is the emperor, the taxes still have to be paid, and the conscription is still not spared, why am I so desperate, I have to follow the ruthless and unrighteous son of the Zhao family?

The final result was that after this battle, the people of the Central Plains reversed their hearts and had no choice but to become their obedient people, and the Southern Song Dynasty court could no longer get the support of the people in the Central Plains.

According to the history of the Song Dynasty. In the Central Plains, "everyone is desperate".

This reverse change in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains was soon discovered by Wanyan Wushu.

Not only is it easier to collect taxes. Even signing for conscription became much easier, and those hateful Han Chinese no longer resisted the rule of the Jurchens.

The undefeated and undefeated Song Dynasty and the Jin State were victorious, which was probably a footnote to the Northern Expedition of the Yue Family's army

The Yuejia army returned to the dynasty, and the Yanwu technique made a comeback.

"Golden History? The record in the Biography of Wanyan Zongbi is: "Zongbi sent Kong Yanzhou to Bian, Zheng and Zhengzhou, Wang Bolong to take Chenzhou, Li Cheng to take Luoyang, and led the people to take Bozhou and Shunchang Mansion, Song, Ru and other prefectures. In the summer, Zong Bi returned to Yu Bian, Yue Fei and other troops retreated, and Henan was flat. ”

Take a look at the current strength of Yan Wushu: except for Wang Bolong, who barely belonged to the original main force of the Jin soldiers, Kong Yanzhou and Li Cheng and other troops were the remnants of the former Southern Song Dynasty Liukou and Liu Yu.

After more than a month of war with the Yue family's army, Wanyan Wushu suffered heavy losses, and there was almost no one available, and he had to rely on the remnants of the former Liu Yu, whom he had despised.

From this point of view, it can be refuted that the depth of the trauma caused by Yue Fei's previous Wanyan Wushu is absolutely incomprehensible to others

Five months after Yue Fei withdrew his troops, that is, in the first month of the 11th year of Shaoxing, His Excellency Wanyan Wushu, the marshal of the Jin State, led the original team, known as the 130,000 army, and launched another southern invasion.

Half a year ago, Wanyan Wushu's troops were still known as 300,000 troops, and the soldiers set off in four ways; Only half a year later, his troops were reduced from 300,000 to 130,000, and the distribution of troops was merged from four roads to one road.

This kind of change can't help but make people sigh.

Historians also unanimously believe that although the Jin soldiers claim to be 130,000, they are actually only more than 90,000, including more than 80,000 horse soldiers and more than 10,000 infantry.

This is not only that, but also historians have confirmed that the Jin soldiers at this time not only had a serious shortage of food and grass, but also did not even have enough siege equipment and so on.

Regardless of the momentum, the overall strength, or the confidence of the battle, today's Jin soldiers are like yesterday's yellow flowers, and they are no longer the courage of the past

The southern invasion of Wanyan Wushu is actually expected.

After defeat, you must take the initiative to attack, this was the case with the Khitan Liao people back then, and the same is true now with the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, otherwise you will not be able to maintain the posture of the upper state.

This is the public statement on the table.

In private, Wanyan Wushu also had to attack the Song Dynasty again.

The last time I faced off against Yue Fei, Wanyan Wushu lost too badly and ugly, and it was hardly a comparison between the same level; If he doesn't take the initiative to invade the south again, win a few battles, find some face, and return to the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom to report on his work, it is absolutely inevitable that he will be blamed and punished.

Therefore, he couldn't finish his face and not think of troops.

Since you have to fight, you have to pay attention to where you want to fight.

When I opened the map, I saw that there were only three directions of attack for Wanyan Wushu: the direction of Xiangyang and Ezhou, the Huaidong Road in Chuzhou and the Huaixi Road where Luzhou was located.

What should I choose? (To be continued......)
