The second volume is mainly about the defense of the thieves besieging De'an at that time.

And this point, in a sense, also shows that when the Southern Song Dynasty was first established, not only did people in the south rarely support the Song court, but even caused chaos in some cases. However, this is also the result of a vicious circle brought about by the political situation during the Song Huizong period.

......

Zhao Shou Kou De'an, led away in three days. On May 12 of the fourth year of Jianyan, the group of thieves Zhao Shou was "not busy", leading tens of thousands of people from Huangzhou to the border of Xiaogan County to loot, and sent people to this mansion to recruit peace if they wanted. In the same month, there were Fenglang Shoushang Shubing soldiers Wailang, Fujian, Guangnan East and West, Jinghu South and North and other roads to send Feng Kangguo to the mansion, and the ministers Chen Guibai Feng begged to recruit An. Hui Zhao Shou also sent people to write and Feng, willing to accept Zhao'an. Regulate the repatriation of people to Shou Village, saying that they are willing to recruit peace with the intention of appeasing them. On the second day of the sixth month, Shou led the people outside the city. It was night, and Feng Qin went out of the city to see his birthday.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Shou entered the city with several teams to listen to the hadith. Xie En recruited Andang, and Feng Mushou ordered the right to be stationed in Jiangzhou and Huangzhou, waiting for the orders of the court. The government also paid money and food for the gift. On the twelfth, Shou Qi sent to the east forty miles of Huanhe Town to station, and suddenly sent people and horses to divide into the eight gates of the house, change their colored clothes, disguise themselves as militia uniforms, and seize the door. Relying on the gates to guard the royal preparation, immediately to the death of the emperor, spin the bow and ballista stone to fight the enemy, until the time to retreat. The re-firing arrows and artillery were not at the mercy of the city, and they came to attack one after another. was kept by the bows and ballistas in the city, and sent troops to fight in the city for three days and nights, and the plan was exhausted.

On the 20th, the thieves pulled out the village and walked south. Cao Cheng, Li Hong, and Kou De'an, were led from June to February.

In June of the fourth year of Jianyan, there were Cao Cheng and Li Hong's thieves from Shuzhou, Liguangzhou, Xinyang to Benfu, hundreds of thousands, all over the counties, straight to the borders of Xiang, Sui and Yingzhou, stationed in the Sanlong River. When the grass begins to ripen, it is widely plundered. This house is full of thieves and soldiers, and it is constantly prepared.

On the 30th of July, the thieves went to the city and attacked the city. On the one hand, the palace cast bows, crossbows, arrows, and artillery stones, and on the other hand, sent troops out to fight the enemy, and the thieves could not break it, so they retreated at the right time. On the 14th of August, the thieves came to the city again. The house sent troops out of the city to meet the enemy again, the thieves retreated, set up a village under the Tongbai Temple near the city, and sent a small village to set up a small village outside the eight gates and one or two miles, besieged the house, and did not lead to return. The officials and soldiers of the government used death to cover up the killing, and sent troops to rob the small village every night to seize grain and enter the city. Day and night were rejected for more than 60 days.

It was Shi Cheng and others who had a lot of horses, and there were very few soldiers in the government, and they were invincible, so they devised a plan and sent someone to ask Shang Cheng and others with official documents, inducing them to benefit and harm, pointing out that they were on the road to renewal, and they began to retreat.

On the third day of the first month of October, he sent people into the city to discuss, saying that a group of soldiers were not thieves, but could not live in the township, so they came to find food to eat, but the imperial court returned the official position granted after Zhao'an, stopped begging for official funds, and washed the people of Zhao'an. And to Cheng and other petitions, the government on the fifth day of the first month to record the news, Cheng and so on the sixteenth day to return to the Sanlong River Dazhai, still do not live in the four outside the city of the city burning. And because of the fact that the government intercepted and covered up the killing,

On the 24th of November, he led the congregation to attack the city. The government sent troops to meet the enemy and retreated at noon. On February 19 of the fifth year, Cheng and other leaders left the Sanlong River and went to the Hanyang army to cross the river.

On the fourth day of December in the first year of Shaoxing, more than 2,000 people led by Xinyang Army Xingsheren and Shang Commander went to the city of the palace to burn and plunder. The house immediately closed the door, although it retreated slightly, but did not go away. On the 17th, more than 3,000 men and horses led by Sun Biao of Suizhou also came to besiege the city. The palace closed its doors, and sent troops out of the city to fight, killing and wounding more than 100 people before retreating, and did not go away. The second thief has no way out.

On the night of the twentieth, the thieves gathered under the city, and attacked the gates with bows and crossbows, ladders, and cloth signs. The officials and soldiers of the government resisted the enemy, and on the morning of the 21st, they retreated from the city a hundred paces away. That night, the Xinyang army thieves and horses went to attack Xiaogan County, but they did not resist and returned to their own army. The thief horse went with the state to attack Fuzhou and fell into it.

On February 28 of the second year, two more people and horses came to the city near the city to burn and rob. The officials, soldiers and civilians of this government went to the city day and night, never disarmed, and sent troops to cover up the killing in time. At the beginning of March, he began to retreat to Suizhou, continued according to the Zhongxun Langquan Xiaogan County Han Shu, Huaizhen Fu envoy sent the right to the county affairs, and chased to the old county ten miles away from the Linlu River, the place name Zilu, on the surrounding water for the moat, to build the city wall, want to be ready.

On December 24, more than 2,000 Xinyang soldiers and thieves came to Benben County from the capital city, and 200 people went to the north of the city. Immediately distributed to defend the palace and sent troops to meet the enemy. The thieves were defeated and walked five miles, and when the thief brigade arrived, they re-besieged the county seat, cast bows and crossbows, and looked for them outside the trench and said: "Han is the Xingshe people of the Xinyang Great Rear Army, and Shang commanded the men and horses, and hit one hundred and eighty cottages to the north, and damaged Dengzhou, Xinyang Army and Tianmu Cottage, and now it is determined to take this county, and the people and horses will be stationed in Tunbo, and the army will be supported by grain." "Surrounded until night, and only outside the moats, they were scattered.

It was used by the people of this county with bows and crossbows, cannon stones, and forcefully resisted. In the evening, the thief retreated to the village.

On the 26th, the thieves dragged the boats of the river, five or seven for one twist, twisted a bamboo plate with a large bamboo, stood on the bow of the boat, spun the boat and made a pontoon bridge, and attacked the county seat in the north wall trench. The bows and ballistas in the city were fired in unison, so they could not get close. The boat was dragged to the shore, only attacking the northeast, and was also retreated, and returned to the village at night. Fearing that the thieves would not make a living, he personally led the soldiers out of the robbery village for the third watch, killed more than 300 thieves, and received more than 500 captive men and women into the city.

On the 27th, the thieves added several cannons to the trenches, and distributed ships to attack the city, and retreated by noon.

In the end, the thieves were defeated, drowned countless people, and seized all the winch boats. Thieves were placed on the shore and returned to the village immediately. At night, the village fled.

Li Hengkou De'an, led away on the 65th.

On June 13 of the second year of Shaoxing, Sang Zhongyu Party knew Li Heng of Dengzhou, called "Nine Elder Brothers", led the military horses under the management of Xiangyang Mansion, Deng, Sui, and Yingzhou, as well as the people of each state, a total of about five or six thousand people, and about four thousand internal soldiers, came to De'an Mansion near the city and the village, with 70 large and small villages. The thief guards Li Heng Dazhai across the river in the west of the city, and raises a fire of peace in the morning and evening, and the villages correspond. At night, there are police in Zhuzhai and immediately raise fire. Each village stands a watchtower, the upstairs people hold the white flag, the north of the city, the east, the west three sides of each face the city gate, the people in the door must be seen first, out a little more, and raise the flag to the door, the village and the people on both sides of the village, actually out of the cover. Or send troops in the city to meet the enemy and rob the village, and immediately raise the flag and instruct the village, and come to help. There are four expected buildings in the south of the city, occupy the lower view of Gaofu, the streets and alleys in the city, the movement of the back and forth, all see it; the city guards, everyone can count; only to see the city slightly to drag, and raise the flag of the villages are prepared. At night, they respond to each other, cut off the way in and out, enclose the city, and the feng shui inside and outside are not passable. Although the government does not stop sending troops to fight the enemy, it is difficult to win with few soldiers. He also tried to attract relatives in the city to talk to him, and he told him to be good and bad. Heng only uses the collection of Huo Ming in this mansion as a word, and falsely accuses the mansion of Shunfan, and it is necessary to fight the city.

At five o'clock on the third day of the seventh month, there was a shout outside the city, shooting the people in the city with bows and crossbows, about to reach the city ladder, moving grass and hugging the door and fire. The people of the city were beaten with bows, crossbows, cannon stones, and masonry, but they could not go up to the city; at the end of the day, the thieves retreated, and more than 60 ladders were abandoned.

On the fourth day of the first month, Hengqin led the soldiers to Suizhou and Xiangyang Mansion, called carpenters and blacksmiths, moved cowhides and ropes, and fetched felts and ropes in Dahong Mountain. After more than ten days, he came back to rebuild siege equipment such as overpasses, caves, three-tip cannons and ladders.

On the fourth day of the first month of August, the attack was completed, to the southwest corner of the city, the overpass was installed, the trenches were filled, and the night was flat.

On the fifth day of the first month, seven cannons were erected in the far trench to attack the people in the city. The small ones are not less than ten catties, and the big ones are forty or fifty catties. Make a four-legged hole with a big wood, about two zhang long, five zhang wide, and more than two zhang high ridges; use a wet cypress wood big rafter to cover it, and the cowhide spreads it; the face and both sides are covered with wooden rafters and thick felt curtains. Its feet are four feet five inches high, and they are as thick as the feet of an idiot. It is shaped like a two-room house. Push to the moat, twist into a dog's spine hole with a large wooden rafter, two rows in succession, each more than 50 steps long. And more than 200 thick wooden boards to cover the thieves to carry grass and trees, bricks and stones to fill the trenches. In a few days, the overpass was cut off, with a total of six feet, five feet high, and as thick as a hole. The foot is more than six zhang long, two zhang wide, three zhang and five feet high, nearly four zhang, and more than one zhang wide. When the head is obliquely high from bottom to top, about one zhang or more, the upper, middle and lower three layers are on the front and both sides and the top, all of which are hung with cowhide, thick felt blankets and quilts. On the chassis of the overpass, there are two large bamboo cables, each more than 20 zhang long, and each one is dragged by 100 people. It is said that the thief must have tried to strike the gate of the city with cannons, so that the people of the city will not be able to stand on it, and then they will go into the cave and fill in the trench, and then they will push the overpass to the city, because they will go up to the city. It is necessary to have the thieves fill in the moat in the city, and set up a war tent with large logs, two layers above and below, and lay three large logs on top of it, and plant a high wooden shed deep at the foot of the city, so that if the thieves go down to the city after they go to the city, they will fall into the city. And on both sides of the city, he put up a high row of forked posts with large logs to cover the cannon stones. In the north and south of the war tent, two forked pillars were buried in the east and west, and pikemen and swords were distributed outside the columns. And he put a tent on each side of the pillar outside the pillar, and prepared bricks and stones, bows and arrows on each shed, in case the thieves came to the city, and they went along the city in two directions. and that there are not enough people under the tent of war to defend against the enemy, and to the place of mortality, so that they are all killed. In the city, where the thieves fixed the cannons and filled the trenches, seven cannons were also erected, and three of them could also be used to cast cannon stones weighing 350 to 50 catties. In front of the gun carriage and on both sides of the high wood is buried, and in the center of the gun carriage and on the cannon puller, the horizontal row of wooden rafts is used as a gun shed to shield the thief cannons. Each cannon has three gunners, and they are used for each other, and the city takes care of the cannon stones released in the city. Under the tent on the city, two large trees are used, each two zhang four or five long, and two horizontal bracket trees, each six feet long. He also used poles, bamboo, firewood and grass to create more than 300 "fire oxen". and with three large fir trees, together into a long board, about one zhang and five feet long. In addition, more than 20 long bamboo pole muskets were made with artillery powder, and several striking guns and hooks were used, all of which were held by two people, and prepared the overpass near the city to be used up and down the battle tent. He also selected brave men among the soldiers, divided into fourteen armors, and took turns up and down the battle tent day by day, side by side outside the fork pillars and outside the sheep and horse city, and prepared emergency reinforcements from various places. Led by Li Juzheng, the lieutenant of Anlu County. He also commanded a group of men and horses with the deputy general Ma Li, who specially inspected the four walls and guarded the city, and responded to the siege of the city. Fortunately, the siege equipment set up by the thieves came, and everything was as expected. The thieves set up seven cannons, and kept casting them for fourteen days and nights, and although they destroyed the gates of the city and the guards of the gates, and discounted the forked pillars, and spread the trees and plants on the tents, they broke them one by one, and added to them one by one, and did not fight against a single person in the city.

However, when the cannons were fired outside the city, the distance and proximity were right, and there were people in the city who greeted the cannons, ordering them to move one by one, turning the gun mounts, and adding or decreasing the number of people dragging the cannons, or the size of the cannons. Therefore, the thieves outside the city gathered a little, and the artillery power could reach the place, and they were dispersed immediately. Its thieves and gunners dragged the gunners, and most of them were killed. All the thieves and dogs' backs were all defeated on that day, and they were also killed, and they could not be used. Only the big hole is near the trench, about two or three hundred cannons in the middle of the city, Fang Shi is impressed, the upper cover is rarely damaged, and the face of the rafter curtain and felt curtain are broken together, and the cannon enters the hole, killing many people. But he pushed forward and repaired again, and there was no cowhide as a curtain, and the curtain was lined up with standing wood, and he came forward again. If it is damaged again, it will not be used to push and drag it backwards. They only drove and captive, young and old, and carried grass, trees, bricks and stones to fill the moats, and did not care about the arrows and cannons in the city. If you kill a leader who is near you and get close to a thief, and carry it on your back or go to the cellar to bury it, and if you kill a captive and you have already fallen into it, you will immediately chop up the meat and eat it. Its moats are filled close to each other, and then the city is filled with Tufu. The people of the city fired rockets at the grass and trees they had filled, and when the wind was good, the thieves could not pounce forward, and they were burned by the fire, and they were not burned out for two or three days and nights. The thieves only used bricks and stones and earth, and then filled them in. For another two or three days, it was nearly filled. In addition to the death and damage of its old and young women, there are few survivors, and it is close to the foot of the city, and it is difficult to move forward. Then he chose a strong man and a thief and a soldier, and walked forward with a cloth bag containing soil, and left the leather bag behind, and hurriedly walked back. They carried and filled the trenches, and fixed the cannons, dragged the cannons, and the thieves who came and went under the city, were hit by arrows and cannons, and suffered a lot of casualties before and after. The thieves are gradually embarrassed, there is little grain, and the people in the boundaries of the four counties of Xiang, Deng, Sui, and Ying, are all right, and it is difficult to eat if they go by the way, and the robbery has been all over the place, and there is no robbery. In addition to the thieves near the head of the first hand, some pretended, and the rest of the people were ragged, in order to hope that after the city was fed, they were warm. Therefore, when the thieves attacked the city, they did not hesitate to kill others, and their intentions were firm, and they refused to retreat lightly.

On August 15, the Xuanfu envoy sent it to Xiang, Deng, Sui, and Yingzhou to write the official text of Tan Xian, saying: The imperial court has sent Li Hengchong Xiang, Deng, Sui, and Yingzhou to pacify the envoys. He also sent Tan Xian's text to Li Heng for verification. Heng Yan: "Even if the imperial court sent me to be a pacification envoy and teach me to go there to eat? ”

On the 18th, the thieves filled in the trenches.

On the 19th, the city was distributed on all sides. The thief arranged to go down the ladder and waited for the attack. and the four high places, and on the road, each horse army, ready to cut off the city and break out of the people. At noon, push the overpass to the southwest corner of the city, which is on the moat. More than 30 ladders were carried on both sides of the overpass, and spearmen, about 1,000 people, shouted and fired cymbals and drums, and bows, crossbows, arrows, and cannon stones were fired together to shoot at the city guards. The overpass is already close to the city, that is, at the foot of the battle shed on the city, push the long board out of the city for a few feet, and roll down the boulder on the board, and push the overpass thieves at the foot of the outside city, and push the pole. Hold on to the overpass, fight for more than one foot and can't get to the city. When the upper and lower parts of the battle shed wanted to use muskets, striking guns, and hooks, the people at the foot of the overpass pushed backwards, and dragged the bamboo rope people backwards to the overpass, about 50 steps away. It was more than an hour, but he came forward and went south at the tip of the overpass, intending to dodge the pole. There is no way to do it. There are a little more feet in the south of the place, and the trench filled in is careless, resulting in the trapping of the southeast front foot of the overpass, and it is impossible to come, but it is dragged backwards. And because the crowd used too much force, they pulled the bamboo rope and couldn't advance or retreat. To the sheep and horses in the city of soldiers, and the thieves under the overpass with their lives to fight the enemy, and the city on the bricks, bows and crossbows and arrows, the city of artillery and stones, the city of artillery and stones, the time to start to kill the retreating thieves. Looking for the firewood and grass that pushed down the "fire ox" on the city, it was taken out by the people in the sheep and horse city, and the firewood and grass were piled up at the foot of the overpass and burned it. On the overpass and in the middle of the thief soldiers, Fang Shi hurriedly walked down and retreated together. And around the four thieves, each was beaten back by the guards of the city with bows and crossbows, brick cannon shots, abandoned the ladder, and to the outward high place and to distribute people and horses on the road, and returned to the village together. The thieves were defeated and fled that night.
