The situation in the north was part of the change that occurred with the peace talks between the Great Song and the Jin State, and out of concern for his own personal safety, Gaozong Zhao Gou asked the Jin State to temporarily withdraw its troops from the west to ensure the safety of his Qinfeng Road, while the Jin State only agreed to withdraw from the occupied area south of the Yellow River along the East Road along the Yellow River.

And in the negotiations with the Song Dynasty, the Jin State became more and more tough, after March, the Emperor Taizong of the Great Jin State actually came to the Datong Mansion, and then Wanyan Zongbi was again appointed as the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition, and began to prepare for the attack on the Great Song Dynasty, at the same time, the Jin State increased the army of 100,000 to Wan Yan Lou Room, and strengthened the offensive of the entire western region against the Song.

In less than ten days, Wanyan Lou Room went west to attack Lanzhou and other places, and returned to the army to go straight to Xizhou, Minzhou and Qinzhou, and surrounded Jingzhaofu from the west, which was the wishful thinking of the Jin State, and they planned to surround the entire Jingdong Road from the west, and the strategic position of Jingzhaofu Xi'an became particularly important.

At the end of March, Tokyo was left behind, and Vice Marshal Zong Ze died because of the hopelessness of the Northern Expedition and serious back disease, and the whole country lamented, and on the day of his death, the people of Tokyo all wept bitterly, and more than 1,000 students mourned and mourned. Some people recounted the scene at that time, Zong Ze died, and as soon as he entered the coffin, the soldiers flocked in, and the hanging sacrifices were endless for three days, and the hall was also filled with countless sacrifices, so won the hearts of the army and the people! Li Gang also issued a wail in the elegy poem "Liang destroys the building and falls, who will support the vault".

Zong Ze can be said to be the most famous patriotic general in China at that time, his death was the loss of the Song Dynasty, before his death, he said sadly to the generals who came to visit: "I am the second emperor dust, grief and indignation to this, how can you annihilate the enemy, then I die without hatred!" Until he lost his breath, there was no word or family matter, but he shouted "cross the river!" Crossing! Crossing the river" and passed away. Ziying and Banyue flew to Zhenjiang and were buried with his wife Chen at the foot of Jingxian Mountain. Later, he was given a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, a general doctor, and a loyal Jane.

Zong Ze died, Xiao Ming also sent a wreath, he knew that Gaozong Zhao Gou still would not lose the idea of peace talks, it was too early to talk about the Northern Expedition, but as soon as Zong Ze died, the entire Kaifeng defense line was no longer insurmountable, and sure enough, Gaozong appointed Du Chong as Zong Ze's successor, and this son was a pretending to be 13 according to Xiao Ming! In less than a month, the heroes of the many rebels in the entire Kaifeng defense line were forced away, and the entire two million rebel army fell apart.

Jin Guo naturally would not give up such a good opportunity, under the pretext that the Great Song peace talks were insincere, he ordered Wanyan Zonghan to send troops south from Taiyuan again to Bianliang, Tokyo, Gaozong Zhao Gou had no choice but to escape to Yingtianfu Nanjing, and the overall defense line of the Song army was once again compressed to the area south of the Yellow River.

However, at this time, there were also some problems within the Jin State, Jin Taizong returned to Huanglong Mansion from Datong Mansion, and the pace of the Jin soldiers' southern invasion was forced to slow down, so they sent envoys to conduct peace talks again, first requiring the Great Song Dynasty to give 5 million taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and 500,000 horses of various silk silks.

Zhao Gou reluctantly agreed to the list of captured personnel released for the first stage of negotiations, and only waited for the personnel to return before making plans, although there were Qinling moats in the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi, but as the rear of the Great Song Dynasty, they were now also facing the threat of Jin soldiers, so the second stage of negotiations was mainly around this aspect.

However, the gold people had to give priority to gold, silver, and other things, so this wealth eventually fell to the people of Bianliang, and as soon as the notice of the imperial court ordering the downward collection and increase of taxes came out, all the people in Tokyo were boiling, and everyone was finally disappointed in the entire imperial court, so a large number of people began to move south.

When the Jin soldiers broke the city for the first time, the ritual utensils and magic objects used by the Song Dynasty, the musical instruments of the teaching workshop and the eight treasures and nine tripods, as well as the armillary sphere, the bronze man, the carved leak, the map of the prefecture and county of the world, the palace maids, opera actors, skilled craftsmen, prostitutes, etc., were basically captured by the Jin soldiers, and the vitality of Bianjing City has been greatly injured, and now it has caused population loss again, and this capital can no longer be called the Beijing Division!

Gaozong was also very worried about this, but the court had no money, so what could it do! First of all, Xiao Ming had "looted" the money in Jingshi and other places through railway debts, and now to meet the requirements of the Jin people, where to find money? At this time, Xue Bingchang came up with an idea for Zhao, that is, to borrow money from Taiping Yinzhuang.

The gold and silver demanded by the Jin people are also regarded as the ransom of the personnel, and the delivery of at least two million taels must be met before a part of the personnel can be put back, and the remaining amount is converted according to 500,000 taels per year, so the Great Song Dynasty will have to borrow two million taels from Taiping Yinzhuang at one time, Xiao Ming was overjoyed after hearing the news, this is the best way for him to gradually grasp the economic lifeline of the entire Great Song Dynasty!

The second stage of peace talks was the wishful thinking of Gaozong Zhao Gou, after getting a large amount of money, the Jin State symbolically put back some of the Song Dynasty ministers and royal relatives, and then recuperated the army and prepared to attack the Song Dynasty again, but Gaozong Zhao Gou was more optimistic about the prospects of the peace talks and was more satisfied with the results.

He said to his subordinates: "The widows also want to go on a northern expedition, but they are always subject to the Jin people!" He felt that Jin Guo had a hostage of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands, which made him not dare to resist Jin vigorously, this kind of rhetoric had been refuted by Yue Fei, in Yue Fei's opinion, the more he was worried, the more he resisted resolutely, the more he gave the gold thief an excuse and became more arrogant.

The reason why Jin was anxious to negotiate peace with Gaozong was because of the continuous outbreak of anti-Jin uprisings in Hebei Lianglu and other places occupied by him, and Jin needed to free up his hands to deal with them, due to the loss of the support of the Song army, the rebel troops left on the north bank of the Yellow River collided with the Jin soldiers The result was very miserable, and under the heavy losses, some people could not escape from crossing the river, but more people entered Shandong on Jingdong Road.

Shandong is currently the only place along the Yellow River that has not been occupied by the Jin soldiers, Han Shizhong's garrison of Dezhou and Qingzhou has become a place that the Jin soldiers dare not touch now, in the occupied area, the Jin State originally still adopted the strategy of plundering the population, but Jin Taizong finished Yan Sheng's consultation with the ministers, and categorically canceled this strategy.

There are two reasons for this, the first reason is that after the Jin soldiers occupied the two roads in Hebei, they found that not only agriculture was developed, but also handicrafts and metallurgy were also very developed, and the population was large.

The strategy of stabilizing them on their own land could alleviate this violent reaction, and another reason was that the large handicraft and metallurgical industries could not be moved, and it was better to operate them locally, and they could also supplement the losses of the war, so the Jin State abolished the strategy of plundering the population and replaced it with Han officials who were actively looking for help with their governance and management.

At this time, there was a person who entered the eyes of the people of the Jin State, this person was the original Daimyo Mansion who rebelled against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin State, and Liu Yu made Liu Yu and Liu Yu specially went north to Yanjing to see Yan Sheng, expressed his reverence, and was willing to serve the dogs and horses of the Jin State, and Liu Yu was very well-connected in the Central Plains, and it was beneficial to many officials of the Song Dynasty who were recruited by the Jin State.

The gold lord Wanyan Sheng then discussed with Wanyan Zongwang, that is, he was ready to support Liu Yu and use the Han people to control the Han people, so in March of the tenth year of the Tianhui of the Jin State, they supported Liu Yu to establish the "Great Qi" regime in the Daimyo Mansion, and widely recruited and surrendered the former Song Dynasty officials from the original Hebei and Hebei roads, making many former Song officials and generals defect to the enemy.

The Great Qi regime soon assembled an army of hundreds of thousands to confront the Song army on the Yellow River, and the Jin soldiers could now fully draw up their forces to carry out the new strategic intentions, while on the Yellow River line, the Jin State only needed to send a small number of troops to assist the Great Qi army in launching an attack on the Song army.

Gaozong Zhao Gou finally understood that if he wanted to negotiate peace with Jin, he must have a military victory, so he categorically terminated the peace talks with Jin, reorganized the army, and in order not to put Ying Tianfu under the positive pressure of the Jin soldiers and the Great Qi army, Gaozong finally decided to move from Nanjing to Xuzhou.

At the same time, the Great Song Dynasty began to adopt a political propaganda offensive, denouncing Liu Yu's Great Qi regime as: "Pseudo-Qi! The surrendering officials led by Liu Yu were denounced as "traitors!" Call on the armies of Hebei and Hebei to respond to the call of the imperial court, "Rise up and fight the thieves!" ”

Most of the population and assets of Bianliang in Tokyo began to move to the south, losing the support of the Song army, Jingdong Road and Jingdong West Road were occupied by the puppet Qi army and Jin soldiers, and Bianjing fell again in April, Liu Yu then moved the capital to Bianliang, began to recruit troops again, and built his own palace.

At this time, Song Gaozong Zhao Gocai remembered Xiao Ming again, and summoned a euphemistic proposal, hoping that Xiao Ming could go north to assist in the government, claiming that there were no generals in the court. Xiao Ming replied to Gaozong's request, but he still recommended two people to Zhao Gou, one of these two people is Wu Jue, and the other is Yue Fei!

Don't you say that there are no generals in the DPRK and China? I will now recommend two generals to you, if you use them well, let alone deal with Jin Bing, you can deal with anyone, even me. The original text Xiao Ming was drafted by Su Cai'er, and some allusions were cited, such as the allusion of Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms to enable the young general Lu Xun.

Wu Jue is indeed a general, and his promotion is actually completely fought for by Xiao Ming along the way, but Yue Fei's talent is restricted by his appearance, Zhao Gou, like his father, is a monarch who judges people by his appearance, the former reuses the sanctimonious Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing, and the latter reuses the three-filter, long-bearded and elegant Huang Qianshan.

Wu Jue was appointed as the envoy of the Yongxing Army, led the Tokyo Forbidden Army to Jingzhaofu, and became the Wu Jie of the Minister, and began his road to a famous general, while Yue Fei was appointed as the envoy of the Jingnan Road, the Xiangzhou regiment training envoy, and cooperated with Wang Yuan and Liu Shiguang's Huaixi defense line, but Liu Shiguang was the son of Liu Yanqing.

This person has an old relationship with Han Shizhong, and when he took office, he corresponded with Han Shizhong, hoping that Han Shizhong could help him defend the Huai River defense line, Han Shizhong informed Xiao Ming and wanted to ask him about the specific strategic deployment, and Xiao Ming only asked him to stick to the north gate of Shandong, waiting for further action, that is, to cooperate with Xiao Ming to recover Liaodong.

Xiao Ming refused Zhao Gou's call, but he was very busy, that was because he supervised the construction of several large ships, and requisitioned ten merchant ships to mobilize all of them to the Weihai base, preparing to counterattack Liaodong in June.

The news began in the form of rumors, so that many Hebei rebels who entered the Shandong region all found Weihai and wanted to participate in this military operation.

The Yellow Sea region outside the Shandong Peninsula has been very unpeaceful recently, it is rumored that there are pirates infested, several merchant ships and fishing boats have been robbed, the Great Song Dengzhou Navy Division because all of them are stationed in Weihai base, after going out to search to no avail, proposed to let the warships of Weihai City participate in the suppression of bandits, the news was suppressed by Wu Yong, because this is the critical juncture to prepare for a counterattack on Liaodong.

Xiao Ming said goodbye to his family at the end of May and went to Weihai base, this time the counterattack on Liaodong, many merchants all followed, after Liaodong was occupied by the Jin State, a lot of necessary trade can no longer be done, this loss is huge, this time Xiao Ming plans to counterattack, everyone is very supportive, so in a lot of logistics preparations, to give Xiao Ming a lot of help.

On June 12, the Yellow Sea was relatively calm, everything was ready for the east wind, and with Xiao Ming's order, about 100 large ships set sail for the sea......
