Chapter 559 The Sun Rises
[Yue Fei’s Fourth Northern Expedition had a great impact on the Kingdom of Jin.
Han Chang, the Jin general who almost jumped back, said it very clearly afterwards:
The bravery of today's Southern Army is that of our army in the past; the cowardice of our current Army is that of the Southern Army of the past. Fortunately, the South is unknown.
And this is very likely one of the reasons why Jin Wushu sent troops to invade the south again half a year later. He wanted to deepen the impression on the scholar-bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This can also be seen from the opponents chosen by Jin Wushu:
They deliberately avoided the Xianghan Defense Area where Yue Fei was in charge and the Huaidong Defense Area where Han Shizhong was guarding, and went straight to Huaixi where Zhang Jun was located.
This battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties was about to break up. Jin Wushu suddenly sent troops to seize the empty defense gap in Huaixi and ignited the war to the Yangtze River. However, the Southern Song Army soon entered the battlefield to stabilize the situation. Yue Feibing felt relieved. Prefecture, Han Shizhong sent troops from Chuzhou to support, and Zhang Jun of Huaixi headquarters also led Liu Qi and Yang Yizhong to start a counterattack. It seemed that the situation was good.
Veteran general Liu Qi believed that the Jin soldiers were treacherous and it was best to fight slowly and gradually to regain the lost ground. However, Zhang Jun believed his scouts' news that the Jin soldiers had all retreated and couldn't wait to kick Liu Qi away and let him return to Taiping Prefecture. He also ordered Yue Fei to say: " The captives have crossed the Huaihe River, and their future is short of food." Then he took Yang Yizhong, a close associate of Zhao Gou, to grab the credit.
"I want to go to Haozhou with Taiwei Yang, show off the troops in Huaishang, and appease the people of Haoliang."
Now that he can actually answer, Wan Yangou certainly knows what kind of opportunity he is recalling, but he is, after all, the people in Henan and the hungry people in Hebei can't squeeze out money and water, so this guy is happy to be content.
Today's scholars have gotten rid of the shackles of feudal imperial power and believe that Yue Fei's death was essentially the result of the joint efforts of Qin Hui and Wanyan Gou. In other words, it was actually a murder caused by the joint efforts of the emperor and the prime minister. It was very ugly. To this day, traitors such as Qin Hui are cast iron statues kneeling in front of the Yuewang Temple and are scorned by the world. Zhao Gou's ugly behavior is recorded in the annals of history and is known to all generations. "Man Jiang Hong" is still read by people to pay homage to Yue Wumu.
Although this requirement is a bit high, the imperial army in the palace city can be said to be an example of the Song army. Being strong and strong is only the most common condition for joining the army. Under such circumstances, one or two people who can draw a strong bow should still be able to be found.
The Battle of Huaixi can be said to be more like a military intimidation by Jin Wushu. After the war, Jin Wushu couldn't wait to release the Southern Song envoys who had been forcibly detained before and brought back the first peace negotiation document actively written by the Jin Kingdom.
Liu Bei: Shameless. 〗
After the second reply to Jin Wushu was sent, Yue Fei, who was determined to resist Jin Wushu, was detained in Dali Temple on charges of treason.
"The sun will shine brightly, the sun will shine brightly"
During the six months when Yue Fei was detained in Dali Temple, Qin Hui and Wan Qixi fabricated a series of charges against Yue Fei and tortured him severely. However, in the end, Yue Fei only had eight characters in his confession:
"The sky is clear, the sky is clear!"
Where can I complain about Qianqiu's merits and demerits? Later generations will comment. 】
Zhao Kuangyin stared at the stone table in a daze. Zhao Pu watched the official raise his hand and put it down, and finally sighed and put his hand back into his sleeve.
〖Zhu Xian summoned twelve orders, and the Central Plains fell for two hundred years.
Judging from the history books left by the Kingdom of Jin, this war was initiated by Jin Wushu against all objections. Because of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition and the activities of the Hebei Rebel Army, the Jin Army was already in a logistical situation at the beginning of the war; Huaixi After the Battle of Zhegao ended, the Jin army began to withdraw from the Huaixi battlefield one by one, with no intention of winning.
As a result, Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong, who advanced with light troops, plunged into the encirclement laid by Jin Wushu in Haozhou, and their 60,000-man army was wiped out.
Zhao Pu was a little embarrassed at the moment. This edict was easy for him to issue, but I'm afraid it would be difficult to find someone who dared to do it.
On December 20th, Wanyan Wushu's third letter was sent to the Southern Song Dynasty, urging that if the previously agreed matters were still being handled smoothly, they must be fulfilled: "There are one or two unanswered questions that must be done." .
Zhao Kuangyin finally lost his calmness on his face, and there was a bit of gritted teeth in his words:
"Then he is sent to the King of Jin to scold him for his misbehavior, and he will not stop until he is punished with a stick!"
Shaking his head, Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and looked at the "Man Jiang Hong" on the light screen. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Why didn't he take advantage of the failure of his brother's assassination to directly attack the key point last time?
Wanyan Wushu made a special explanation in his second reply to Wanyan Gou, saying that some clauses should not be written into documents and needed to be dictated by the envoy. It is unknown what it is, but we can make some assumptions.
In a sense, Jin Wushu knew Zhao Gou very well. In the document, he scolded Zhao Gou without hesitation. However, Zhao Gou was really excited after being scolded. Not only was he not angry at all, but he also replied in the letter. He always calls himself the "lower country", and refers to the Jin country as the "upper country", and blames all the matters about Yue Fei's Northern Expedition that Jin Wushu questioned as the result of the disobedience of orders by the frontline soldiers.
Zhao Pu nodded and asked:
"Then what?"
Nine days later, on December 29, Wan Yangou personally wrote "Yue Fei is specially granted death."
In short, the two sides can be said to be in cahoots, and it was very disgusting for you to come and go, so the Shaoxing peace talks naturally began.
Wanyan Wushu and his subordinates drank wine to celebrate this, saying "the peace agreement has been solid since then".
In order to avoid nausea, I won’t include the specific original text here. Those who are interested can read the book "Records of the Years since Jianyan", which contains detailed information.
Han Shizhong responded sadly and angrily: "How can you convince the world with the word 'unnecessary'?"
"Zeping, go and pick out two of the forbidden troops outside who can draw a three-stone bow."
The Northern and Southern Song dynasties were really a very short reincarnation. Twenty years later, when the Jin army broke the agreement and marched south again, Zhao Gou did the same thing as Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, and raised a prince to take the blame, and he himself comfortably became the emperor.
But under the pressure of Zhao Kuangyin, he finally bowed helplessly and turned his head to leave the palace to do his job.
His subordinate Zhang Xian and his son Yue Yun were both beheaded, and Yang Yizhong was ordered to supervise the execution.
Li Shimin: Absurd.
"Then?"
Zhao Gou really interpreted deeply that the position of the emperor is not afraid of your ambition, but afraid that you want to be a dog.
During the period when Yue Fei was taken to the Dali Temple, Han Shizhong, who was also deprived of his military power and idle, came to the court to question Qin Hui. Qin Hui said shamelessly that although Yue Yun and Zhang Xian had not confessed that Yue Fei was treasonous, "the matter was not necessary."
Standing with his hands behind his back, he said calmly as if he was talking about what to eat tonight:
The ambush in Haozhou was more like Jin Wushu's casual act, but he didn't expect Zhang Jun to be so stupid as to give him a big gift package.
Before Zhao Gou replied for the first time, in order to show his sincerity, he took the opportunity of Zhang Jun's resignation of military power after the end of the Huaixi War to confiscate the military power of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.
Zhao Kuangyin read it twice and shook his head and said:
"Killing loyal and good people on false charges, how can the Southern Song Dynasty have a bright future?"
