Chapter 25, the poor road invited the Northern Expedition

The sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty is not in Jinyu, but within the Xiao Wall?

At first hearing this, Guo Jing couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and thought he was talking about himself as an "immortal"...... But after Prime Minister He Su continued, he suddenly realized: This guy was originally worried about Zhao Gou, the king of Kang stationed in Hebei.

Or, in another, more orthodox history, the Song Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty will be founded in the future.

-- In the autumn of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers went south from Yanjing for the second time, all the way like a bamboo, sweeping through dozens of prefectures and counties in Hedong and Hebei, the Great Song Dynasty panicked, and Song Qinzong on the one hand prepared for war, and on the other hand, sent the ninth brother Kang Wang Zhao to send an envoy to sue for peace, in an attempt to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian, and pay a number of "years of coins" every year, so that the Jin people could withdraw their troops.

Obviously, such a small amount of things is impossible to satisfy the greedy appetite of the Jin people (the land of the three towns ceded has long since fallen and has become the meat in the belly of the Jin soldiers), especially when the entire Great Song Dynasty is like a lamb powerless to resist, spread out and slaughtered at will under the blade of the Jin soldiers...... At such a time, when he sent an envoy to the Jin camp, he not only brought humiliation on himself, but even worried about his life!

As a result, King Kang Zhao Gou walked all the way, deliberately avoiding the southbound route of the Jin soldiers, and spent several days in Xiangzhou, Hebei. After that, he went to Cizhou and met the hardcore main battle faction Zhizhou Zongze. While mobilizing the people to block the road and prevent King Kang from going north to sue for peace, Zong Ze persuaded Zhao Gou to erect the banner of the Anti-Japanese War, and used his identity to call on the troops of the surrounding five states to send troops to Zhending, encircle Wei to save Zhao, and interfere with the Jin army's Tokyo strategy plan.

Zhao Gou, who was originally reluctant to take the risk of sending an envoy to Jinying, immediately followed the good spirit, abandoned the imperial order he was carrying, and returned to Xiangzhou with Zong Ze, and then pulled Wang Boyan, the governor of Xiangzhou, to form a small group, claiming to raise soldiers and horses to rescue Tokyo......

After Song Qinzong of Bianliang learned the news that Zhao Gou was so good at asserting, he was naturally furious. But at this time, the Jin army had already crossed the Yellow River, and the troops were approaching the city of Bianliang, and the Beijing division was crumbling, and it seemed that it was about to be broken. In this extremely critical situation, in the spirit of rushing to the doctor in a hurry, Song Qinzong had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit Zhao Gou's self-made proposition, and also issued an edict on November 18, enshrined King Kang as the generalissimo of Hebei's soldiers and horses, and Zong Ze and Wang Boyan as deputy marshals, hoping that they could gather the remnants of the Song army in Hebei and go south to Bianliang to relieve the siege for the imperial court.

In this way, Zhao Gou justifiably set up the "Generalissimo Mansion of Hebei Soldiers and Horses" in Xiangzhou, Hebei, constantly collecting the remnants of the Hebei Forbidden Army that had been scattered, and recruiting rebels, township soldiers and militias from all over the country...... It was not until the more than 100,000 Jin soldiers besieging Bianliang were burned to ashes by Doraemon with the weapons of interstellar warfare in the 22nd century, that the Great Song Dynasty court was stunned, and with the destruction of the Jin soldiers, now in the territory of the old Great Song Dynasty, in the entire Central Plains east of Tongguan, there are only two military groups facing each other across the Yellow River - Qinzong of Bianliang and King Kang of Xiangzhou!

What's even worse is that from the perspective of military strength comparison, Song Qinzong controlled the remnants of the Beijing Forbidden Army and the Southern Forbidden Army in Bianliang, while King Kang Zhao Gou collected many scattered Hebei Forbidden Army and Guanxi Forbidden Army in Xiangzhou. There are more than 10,000 regular troops on each side as the core descendants, and tens of thousands of militiamen, township soldiers, and volunteers as peripheral troops...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a close match, and there is no overwhelming advantage on the side of the imperial court.

Moreover, it has only been a year since Song Qinzong ascended the throne, and he has suffered repeated national changes since the beginning of his claim to be emperor, and the throne is far from being stable, and there are still many opposition parties in the court and in the local area. If there is really a conflict within the imperial family, the new emperor will not be able to mobilize the strength of the whole country to deal with King Kang.

Therefore, in today's delicate situation, Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who is sitting in Xiangzhou and supporting his own troops, actually has the potential to win the throne.

-- Of course, there is only this potential, and there is still a long way to go before it becomes a reality.

In any case, the center of the court of Bianliang has the name of righteousness, and naturally has an absolute advantage in politics. And the troops raised by the Generalissimo of Hebei Soldiers and Horses were also in response to the call of the imperial court, not Zhao Gou's cronies and private soldiers: at this time, it was only two months before Zhao Gou opened his mansion in Xiangzhou, and it was too late to cultivate a team of cronies who could follow him all the way to the black.

The reason why those reckless military leaders threw themselves into Zhao Gou's Hebei Soldiers and Horses Generalissimo's Mansion was to avenge the blood and revenge of the Jin soldiers' captivity, and secondly, they wanted to wash their identities and seek an official position in the imperial court. Zhao Gou asked them to fight the Jurchens on the spot, and it was naturally no problem for them to go south to King Qin and rescue Tokyo. But if Zhao Gou wants to drag them to rebel and rebel together, and plot to usurp the throne...... This difficulty is not ordinary.

If Zhao Gou really dared to raise the flag and rebel for no reason in this situation, then I am afraid that Deputy Marshal Zong Ze will be the first to arrest him and go to Tokyo to ask for his guilt, and those guys who once wanted to gain fame and fortune by his side before will also have to draw a line with this crazy prince.

Therefore, although Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, has gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou at the moment, and is a little ready to move, he is still far from having the courage to directly enter Beijing to usurp the throne - not only will he not get the support of the court scholars, but even his soldiers and horses may not obey his orders.

But on the other hand, since King Kang has not yet shown obvious signs of rebellion, the imperial court naturally cannot issue an edict to crusade without authorization. They could only maintain confrontation while using political means to divide and disintegrate Zhao's small group -- this was the strong point of the Song Dynasty scholars.

During this period, Zhao Gou could not be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, nor could he be given an opportunity to take advantage of it - if he really turned a blind eye to the Generalissimo Mansion of Hebei Soldiers and Horses in Xiangzhou, he sent the only few troops of Bianliang to cross the Hebei Expedition and regain the lost territory. So who dares to guarantee that Zhao Gou will not see the emptiness of the Jingshi, so he will make up his mind to take a gamble, gather a vote of the dead party to go south to Tokyo, and raid the "Qingjun side" in Bianliang?

After all, if the prize of victory is the throne, then even if the probability of winning is small, there are people who are willing to bet with their full wealth.

Standing on the side of the imperial study and listening to Prime Minister He Su's explanation, Guo Jing couldn't help but sigh faintly in his heart.

――Even at this time, the scholars and doctors of the Song Dynasty have not forgotten to tilt inside!

However, this is also the right thing for his next move.

“…… Your Majesty, since the imperial court is so embarrassed, you might as well let the poor road take people out of Beijing and try to cross the river to the north! ”

After He Su retreated, Guo Jing stepped forward, saluted with his hand, and said to Zhao Huan, who seemed to be a little stunned, "...... The 'Liujia Divine Soldiers' recruited by the poor road were originally set up to expel the Tartars and go straight to Yin Mountain! Now that the Jin people have long been discouraged, and there is hope that the mountains and rivers will recover, the imperial court is trapped in the lack of soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to take advantage of such good opportunities. How can the poor road no longer make persistent efforts to solve problems for the court and officials? ”

ps: Complaints about the recent Iraqi battlefield: "The key to determining victory or defeat really lies in people"

Recently, the extremist terrorist Isis rebels easily occupied Mosul, the largest city in northern Iraq and the second largest city in the country, and the Isis rebels, with a total strength of no more than 10,000 people, not only occupied a large territory in Syria, but also swept the whole country in Iraq, and the extent of their power expansion can be called a miracle - Regarding the battle of Mosul, the Iraqi prime minister angrily declared: The fighting lasted only one day, the local government forces had already surrendered, and the commander of the army had fled before the battle began. They even abandoned weapons, ammunition, armored vehicles, and also abandoned their strategic positions, which they left to the terrorists, and even the Mosul airport has been occupied by the terrorists.

Next, the 800 lightly armed terrorists who advanced on the edge of victory broke 30,000 of the Iraqi Imperial Allied Army and staged a dramatic and gorgeous scene of the light infantry using rifles and grenades to destroy the US heavy armored units -- about 30,000 people from two American armoured divisions of the Iraqi government army encountered 800 rebels, and they actually abandoned armored vehicles, tanks, and heavy artillery, and turned around and fled in droves. It is said that more than 3,000 people were eventually captured, and thousands of them were "educated" to join the terrorists. During this period, there was even a hilarious record of the M1 tank losing to the Toyota pickup truck and finally being blown up with a grenade.

No way, no matter what era or region, it seems that the Imperial Allied Army will never be able to defeat the guerrillas, and this is true in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

It can be seen from this that weaponism is not omnipotent, and the key to determining victory or defeat on the modern battlefield really lies in people!

Fortunately, most of China's enemies are of this color, such as crooked strawberry soldiers, neon civil servants, and so on......

Of course, there are also conspiracy theorists who claim that the unprecedented defeat in Mosul was deliberately lost by the Iraqi side -- that the Americans have seen the Syrian rebels retreat and are at a serious disadvantage, and the Syrian civil war seems to be ending with the victory of Assad. Therefore, the Iraqis were ordered to fight a major defeat in order to send arms to the rebel group "IsIs", which straddles the two countries, so as to continue to add to the Syrian government.

Well, as absurd as it sounds, if the big boss behind the rebels is really the United States, then the Iraqi government forces will not lose at all.

As for the truth of this hypothesis, I think that as long as we look at whether these terrorists entrenched in Mosul will take advantage of the situation and attack Baghdad in the next step, or turn around and return to Syria to play with Assad, we can see whether they are dogs raised by Americans or real anti-American fighters.

At present, the Iraqi government forces have launched a counterattack, played a very technical leap operation, sent paratroopers to launch an airborne landing behind enemy lines, and tried to recapture Mosul, but I don't know if the next step is to repeat the prelude to the Battle of Dien Bien Phu or to reproduce the rhythm of Operation Market Garden?

On the other hand, the Iranian army has also crossed the border to wage a repressive war against the rebels, which has been strongly protested by the United States, demanding that it stop "breaching the peace" as much as possible - perhaps, now that this group of terrorist rebels who were originally affiliated with al-Qaeda has really become US imperialist thugs? Iran and Iraq, the old enemies, are going to join forces to fight against American GIs and **'s apprentices? Hey, the reality is really more bizarre than the novel.
