Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

The Jin army has crossed the Yellow River and is approaching Kaifeng.

Qinzong panicked, he didn't expect that the army of generals left by his father would be so vulnerable.

"Liang Fangping is the sinner of Song Dynasty!"

When Qinzong was jumping and scolding his mother, the first thing he thought of was not to use the power of the whole country to resist, but to run to the south like his father.

Compared with leading the military-civilian struggle by yourself, the first strategy is to save your life, which is more secure.

There was a lot of noise in the city of Kaifeng, and the high-ranking officials and nobles rushed to clean up the poor. Some of them had already bought off the defense and transferred a large number of family members and property.

At that time, the prime ministers Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others surrounded Qinzong, repeatedly talking about the self-interest of escapism.

If Qinzong really escaped at this time, then the capital of the Song Dynasty is probably really over, but when the country is in danger, there will always be an iron-hearted loyal minister.

Just like Yu Qian during the Ming Dynasty Defense War, there was also one in the Song Dynasty.Li Gang, a low-ranking courtier of the Song Dynasty stepped forward and became the mainstay of the Kaifeng army and people's struggle against gold.

Li Gang, courtesy name Boji, was born in Shaowu, Fujian.After becoming a Jinshi in the second year of Zhenghe, Shangshu accused the government of negligence and asked the court to pay attention to internal and external troubles, but was regarded as a dissident by Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others, and was repeatedly dismissed from office.

When Li Gang saw that Song Qinzong was about to flee the capital, he stood up and firmly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is at stake now. If your Majesty insists on fleeing south, he will be criticized by the people all over the world, and the historians will write His Majesty's death in the history books." Cowardly act."

Prime Minister Bai Shizhong's expression was displeased: "Li Gang, now the Jin army is about to attack Bianliang, do you want to put His Majesty in danger?"

Li Gang suddenly stepped forward: "I have hundreds of thousands of people in Bianliang. If His Majesty is here, the hearts of the army and the people will be stabilized. As long as the top and bottom are consistent, can't even a mere tens of thousands of gold soldiers be able to resist?"

"As long as your majesty sticks to Bianliang, and the teachers of the world's diligent kings come here soon, the danger of Bianliang city will definitely be lifted, and your majesty will definitely be recognized by the people of the world. This is the best of both worlds."

Looking at Li Gang and others with a firm attitude, Qinzong hesitated.

Li Gangchang knelt on the ground and expressed his willingness to take on the important task of organizing and guarding Kaifeng.Therefore, Song Qinzong appointed Li Gang as Shangshu Youcheng and stayed in Tokyo, and asked him to be responsible for the defense of the capital, and expressed his determination to stay in the capital to defend against the enemy.

However, when Li Gang entered the court the next day, seeing Song Qinzong's car was about to leave, he hurriedly said to the imperial guards: "Would you like to defend the clan to the death, or would you like to follow?"

So Li Gang went to Song Qinzong and said: "Your Majesty has promised to stay, but suddenly wants to leave. This is a shameful act of a generation of kings. Now the parents and wives of the Sixth Army are all in the capital, and they are willing to stick to it.

If His Majesty wanders off in the middle, who will guard His Majesty?Moreover, Jin Bing is not far from Bianliang. If he knew that His Majesty was going to leave before the army killed him, wouldn't His Majesty just capture him without a fight? "

After Song Qinzong heard this, he knew that fleeing was more dangerous than staying in the capital, so he had to stay in the capital, and ordered Li Gang to be the camp envoy for his own conquest, giving him full authority to direct the deployment of the guards in the capital, and at the same time send envoys to various places to supervise the king's soldiers to help.

The battle to defend the capital has begun.Under the urging of Li Gang, the government and the people inside and outside mobilized before the war, and the common people and the civil and military officials who stayed behind in the capital even made a concerted effort to punish the "six thieves" such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan who caused the country's peril. , to appease public outrage.

Qinzong was forced to have no choice but to decree that the "six thieves" should be dismissed and investigated.This led to the execution of all of them except Cai Jing who died of illness on the way to exile.

At the beginning of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Wulibu led the Jin soldiers to surround Kaifeng.

Dazed by the victory, Wulibu attacked Kaifeng's Xuanzemen on the night the soldiers arrived in Kaifeng.

"The soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty are all vulnerable to a single blow. As long as we work hard and take down Bianliang, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will be captured just around the corner."

"This Huahuajiangshan should be the world of my Jin Dynasty, and the cowardly dynasty should not be the master of the world."

Facing the invincible Wulibu, Li Gang personally led the soldiers, smashed the fire boat of the Jin soldiers with catapults, and sent strong men out of the city, killed more than a hundred Jin soldiers, and repelled the Jin soldiers who attacked the city.

After several days of siege, Rang Wulibu was a little worried. Kaifeng was heavily guarded, and it was difficult to capture Kaifeng for a while. He had no choice but to use the strategy of "attacking war with peace and negotiation". While continuing to besiege Kaifeng, he let out an air of peace.

When Qinzong heard that peace talks were possible, he hurriedly sent envoys to Jinying to discuss.

The Song Dynasty rewarded the Jin army with 500 million taels of gold, 5000 million taels of silver, 100 cattle and horses, [-] million pieces of silk color, and tens of thousands of horses, camels, donkeys and mules each. The three towns were given to the Jin Dynasty, and the prime minister and the prince were also taken as hostages to escort the Jin army across the river.

Wuli did not say that as long as these conditions are met, troops can be withdrawn.

Faced with this shameless condition, Song Qinzong, who was frightened by the war, desperately agreed to Wuli Buli's request, and ordered to search for gold and silver in the whole city of Kaifeng and transport them to the Jin army.

Li Gang opposed the peace talks with the Jin army, and faced Qinzong's deeds, he even wrote several letters to persuade him.

The annoyed Song Qinzong held Li Gang accountable for the failure of a night attack by Song soldiers, ordered Li Gang to be dismissed, and the personal conquest division headed by Li Gang was abolished.

Song Qinzong's behavior aroused the indignation of the army and the people.Tai student Chen Dong and others wrote a letter requesting Song Qinzong to appoint Li Gang and dismiss Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others who advocated peace talks.

The cries of the crowd shook the heavens and earth, and dozens of eunuchs were killed.Prime Minister Li Bangyan fled in embarrassment amidst the shouting and beating of the crowd.Song Qinzong saw that the anger of the public was hard to break, so he had to reappoint Li Gang as Shangshu Youcheng, and let Li Gang continue to preside over the defense of the four walls of the capital.

Wuli didn't know that it would be difficult to capture Kaifeng alone.At this time, soldiers from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty had also arrived one after another, and Li Gang and the Zhongshi Dao who were in charge of commanding the soldiers from all walks of life had a proposal to increase troops to guard the Yellow River and cut off the food road of the Jin army.

Wuli was not worried about the lone army going deep, and after partially satisfying the blackmail of the Song Dynasty, he led his army to withdraw from Fengbei in February of the first year of Jingkang.

Although the battle situation on the front line in Hebei was temporarily calm, the battle in Hedong continued to be tense.

While besieging Taiyuan, Nianhan also captured Weisheng Army and Longde Mansion.The reinforcements sent by the Song Dynasty to Hedong were also defeated.It's just that due to the arrival of summer, Nianhan returned to the clouds to escape the summer heat, and the Jin army besieging Taiyuan was not the main force, and the Hedong front was temporarily at a stalemate in the summer of the first year of Jingkang.

"It's ridiculous!" Shihuang Yingzheng couldn't help getting up angrily: "The defense of the capital should be done in one go, but as an emperor, he always wants to escape, it's a waste of a king!"

"I looked at the Great Song Dynasty, except for Taizu Taizong who had a little bit of backbone, the rest are some people who live with wine and food."

"Could it be that there was some mistake in the history of China when it entered the Song Dynasty? The Great Song Dynasty was simply sent by God to bring chaos to China."

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the various regimes established under the separatist rule of the feudal lords were originally alienated from morality. After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, military commanders were strictly guarded against them. This resulted in a situation where civil servants and imperial power jointly governed the world.

But civil servants can write articles, but they are not as good as generals in war.However, the emperors of the Song Dynasty couldn't see the problem?
Li Shimin couldn't help sighing.
