-- The book continues --

Since ancient times, there has never been such a humiliating and humiliating New Year's Tribute Treaty that has been presented in front of the military and civilian people at a glance, and this trip can be said to have lost the face of Zhao Song.

Since the alliance between Song Taizu's jade axe and the alliance of Song Zhenzong Tanyuan, the Great Song Dynasty has basically given up opening up the territory, except for using troops to recover the homeland, the Song State does not have much intention of expanding the territory.

The Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, and after the Liao Tianzuo Emperor was captured, except for the Western Liao, the remnants of the Liao were swept away by the Jin.

Less than a month after Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda returned to Jin from Yanjing to Shangjing, he was seriously ill and died, and after Agu's death, in June of the following year, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng succeeded to the throne.

Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng issued an edict to invade the Song Dynasty, led by Wanyan Zonghan, and attacked Taiyuan from Yunzhong; The Eastern Route Army, with Wanyan Zongwang as the main general, attacked Yanjing from Pingzhou.

The general of the Jin State, Wan Yanmu, set out from Jinzhou to crusade, and the Daojun Emperor ordered to teach Tong Guan to deal with this matter, and it was necessary to deal with it properly and teach the Jin State to strike the army.

Tong Guan had no choice but to take the order, so he rushed to Taiyuan, and took Zhao Liangsi with him before leaving.

In September, the Jin State made rapid progress and successively captured Danzhou, Jizhou and other places.

After Yan Zonghan saw Zhao Liangsi, he denounced Song Ting's treachery, and Zhao Liangsi listened to Yan Zonghan's words, and only said that as long as Jin Guo rested his troops, everything would be easy to discuss.

Wanyan Zonghan was overjoyed and proposed that the Song State cede the land east of Hedong and Hebei to the Jin Dynasty, and the Song and Jin Dynasty were bounded by the Yellow River.

Tong Guan was dumbfounded, first ordered someone to entertain the envoy of the Jin State, and then summoned Wen Huanzhang and others to discuss.

Due to the southern invasion of the Jin State, the Song Dynasty was in chaos, and the main battle faction and the main peace faction were still arguing, on the other side, Xu Miaoyun asked Hu Sanniang to summon a group of leaders, and the soldiers and horses of the military states began to prepare for war.

Song Ting's weakness and incompetence are really eye-opening.

But the news of Emperor Daojun's refusal to cede the land came, which made Uncle Zhang a little excited, and he immediately ran to ask to see Hu Sanniang and Xu Miaoyun, go to the imperial court, and send troops to resist the Jin army!

After getting Hu Sanniang's approval, Uncle Zhang was overjoyed at night, and immediately invited pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to be sent to the capital.

It was a month before news came from Tokyo.

The main battle faction Li Gang, Huang Shang, Su Yuanjing and others naturally echoed and asked Emperor Daojun to issue an order, but they were opposed by Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others.

As a result, Hu Sanniang's recital was vetoed by Emperor Daojun, because the emperor did not dare to fight with the Jin State.

After Hu Sanniang got the news, she convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Another month passed, and the news of the war report continued to come one after another, and the Jin army advanced to Yanshan, and the officials of Yanshan Prefecture surrendered in Kaesong. The Yannan Kyushu redeemed by the Great Song Dynasty at a large price was all returned to the Jin Kingdom.

When the Jin State invaded the Song Dynasty to Zhongshan Mansion, it was stubbornly resisted by the Song officers and soldiers stationed in Zhongshan Mansion, so the Jin army bypassed Zhongshan Mansion and approached the Yellow River.

Emperor Daojun still didn't have much heart to command his soldiers and horses to fight against the Jin army, all he could think about now was how to escape, escape to a safe place, and continue to be his Emperor Anle.

And if he wants to be the emperor of Anle, he must rely on Cai Jing and Tong Guan's party, he needs Cai Jing's financial management and government affairs, and Tong Guan's military and horse support.

Emperor Daojun was told by Li Gang, and Chan conceded to the crown prince Zhao Huan, while Li Gang, Zong Ze and others looked up to the sky and sighed: "Loyalty and treachery are not distinguished, and the country is not far away." ”

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty announced his abdication and the crown prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne.

Zhao Huanhou's temple number is Qinzong, so the history calls it Song Qinzong.

After Song Qinzong ascended the throne, he changed the next year to the first year of Jingkang, according to the will of Huizong, respected Huizong as the head of the Daojun Emperor, respected as the Taishang Emperor, and lived in Longde Palace.

Time flies, and soon the year passed, and it came to the third day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang.

Bad news came one after another, the Jin Army's East Route Army had crossed the Yellow River, along the way the Song Army had no ability to resist, in fact, the imperial court did not send any soldiers and horses to resist, Emperor Daojun, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River, they were all panicked, Emperor Daojun decided to flee south overnight, and Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other traitors decided to follow Emperor Daojun.

The news of Emperor Daojun's abdication and flight came to Shandong Road, and Zhang Shuye became more than ten years old overnight, and with his complete disappointment with Emperor Daojun, his hopes for the Great Song Dynasty were finally placed on the new successor Song Qinzong.

Song Qinzong immediately appointed Li Gang as the right man of Shangshu and stayed in Tokyo, wanting Li Gang to guard Tokyo for him, and he fled to Shaanxi to avoid the enemy. Li Gang begged desperately with tears, and Song Qinzong promised not to go to Shaanxi and stay in Tokyo.

Li Gang was afraid that the new monarch would run away again, so he summoned hundreds of officials and soldiers and announced in public that the emperor had made up his mind, and anyone who dared to leave the capital and run away would be beheaded.

Song Qinzong also crowned Li Gang as the envoy of the pro-expedition camp, and was fully responsible for the defense of the capital Kaifeng.

Li Gang was ordered to immediately organize the army and the people to prepare for war with all their might.

That night, the Jin soldiers went down the Bianhe River with dozens of fireboats to attack the West Water Gate.

Li Gang personally came to the battle, with 2,000 elite infantry troops under the city, hooked the enemy ships with long hooks, and threw stones to hit the ships.

He also put sticks on the river to block the advance of enemy ships, and transported the rockery from Cai Jing's garden to block the doorway of Xishuimen to prevent enemy ships from entering the city.

After a day and night of hard fighting, they repelled the attack of the Jin soldiers.

Song Qinzong saw that the Jin army was strong, and the weak side was exposed, although he appointed Li Gang as the envoy of the pro-expedition camp and was responsible for defense, on the other hand, he sent Zheng Wangzhi and others to the Jin camp to seek peace.

Li Gang resolutely opposed the land cution, and Song Qinzong was shocked and angry, and immediately summoned Li Gang to the palace for questioning. Li Gang was calm and fearless, and he entered the palace to see His Majesty.

Li Gang had just paid his respect, and Song Qinzong asked loudly: "Why did you privately withhold the edict of ceding the three places?" If the Jin army does not have an edict, it will not stop the army, how can it protect Bianjing? ”

Li Gang got up unhurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic, patrol the city today, there will be several Qinwang troops coming soon, and you will definitely be able to retreat from the enemy." ”

Song Qinzong said angrily: "The Jin army is besieging the city, and King Qin's soldiers and horses are coming, but the opponent? ”

Li Gang lowered his hand and said: "Your Majesty, King Qin's elite soldiers and horses have more than 200,000 military horses, so there is no need to be afraid of the Jin people." When the 200,000 troops and horses arrived, there were no gold people. ”

It's a pity that more than 200,000 Qinwang soldiers and horses did not arrive, in March of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army came to the city, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was captured by the Jin people, and the escaped Daojun Emperor was also caught, King Kang Zhao Gou was rescued by Yue Fei, and then Song Qinzong Zhao Huan died in the city of the Five Kingdoms, at the age of 54, known as the shame of Jingkang. ’

Although more than 200,000 Qinwang soldiers and horses repelled the Jin army, only saved a princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest were taken away by the Jin army.

Zhao Gou went south from Jeju to accompany the capital Nanjing Yingtianfu to be enthroned as Song Gaozong, and paid homage to Taizu Temple in Hongqing Palace, changed Yuan Jianyan, and rebuilt the Song Dynasty.

Dressed in the south, also known as the clothes in the south. The words come out of the Tang historian Liu Zhiji's "Stone" "Yili" chapter. The original text only refers to the chaos in the world at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains scholars fled south with each other, and the Central Plains civilization or Central Plains regime moved south.

Later, the southern crossing of the clothes gradually evolved into a familiar classic, referring to the events of the gentry and scholars who avoided the chaos in the south and took root.

In the history of the Hua-Xia ethnic group, there have been three large-scale southward migrations due to turmoil, namely:

The first time: at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Sima Rui crossed the river, and the capital Jiankang (now Nanjing) established the Eastern Jin Dynasty;

The second time: After the "Anshi Rebellion" of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Shishu avoided the chaos and migrated south; Dingdu Jiangning Mansion (Nan-Jing) and established the Southern Tang Dynasty;

The third time: at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong crossed the river and established the Southern Song Dynasty with Lin'an (now Hangzhou-Zhou) as the capital.

Among them, there are also historians who only recognize the two times as "the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and the end of the Northern Song Dynasty" (some historians call them all three), but in terms of literary application, there are many people who are crowned with "Yiguan Nandu" three times.

Half a year later, in order to avoid the attack of the Jin soldiers, in the name of patrolling, exiled to Yangzhou, the Jin Dynasty also rushed all the way south, approaching Hangzhou-Zhou, Song Gaozong had no way to escape, had to escape from the sea, and wandered along the coast of Wenzhou for four months.

Due to the humid weather in the south and the vertical and horizontal rivers, coupled with the heroic resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians, the Jin commander Wanyan Wushu decided to withdraw his troops to the north.

When retreating north to Zhenjiang, Han Shizhong was cut off by the Song Dynasty, and as a result, he was forced into Huang Tiandang.

The Song army besieged 100,000 Jin soldiers with a force of 8,000 people, and the two sides held each other for 48 days, and finally the Jin army opened the gap with fire attack and was able to retreat, and the Jin army was defeated by Yue Fei in Jiankang, and never dared to cross the river again.
