One Piece of Song Dynasty

"Emperor Zhao meditated and the prince ascended the throne", this was something that Zongwang's mother, Liu Yanzong and others had not expected before. Faced with this sudden political change in the Song Dynasty, Zong Wang "hesitated and did not dare to act, fearing that the Southern Dynasty was prepared and wanted to return the army."

At this time, Pharmacist Guo suggested again: "The Southern Dynasties may not be prepared." Then he further elaborated: "The wealth and palace ban in Bianjing are not comparable to those in Yanshan. Today's Prince Lang Jun's troops are very fast, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to break the bamboo. If we approach the river in a hurry, our soldiers will lose their courage and return without fighting. If we are well prepared, we will send troops to Hebei and look to the south to show our country's prestige. It is not too late to return."

Zong Wang thought for a long time, and finally adopted Yaoshi Guo's suggestion and "decided to drive long."

Zong Wang sent Guo Yaoshi as the vanguard and ordered him to lead a thousand cavalry. Pharmacist Guo asked for more troops, so Zong Wang gave him another thousand cavalry. On that day, Pharmacist Guo personally led two thousand light cavalry from Xinde Mansion and galloped southward.

Zong Han led a -strong Jin army on the west route, which was still besieging Taiyuan City at this time. Since the siege began on December , the reinforcements led by Sun Yi, the defender of Shuozhou, have been defeated. Sun Yi died in the battle at the gate of Taiyuan. In the Jiaocheng area on the north bank of the Fen River, they have successively defeated the governors of Fuzhou, Zhe Keqiu and Yanyan. Road guard general Liu Guangshi and others led reinforcements.

The siege had been going on for several days, but no new rescue troops had arrived. Zhang Xiaochun, the pacifier of Hedong Road and the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, was very worried, but he had no choice but to do anything.

Wang Zhen, the deputy general manager, has a bold nature. He is not as worried as Zhang Xiaochun. He is not afraid. Every one or two days, he leads a team of light cavalry out of the city to sneak attack on the Jin army. They rode war horses and held broadswords in their hands. They "made their way into the captive camp, fought left and right, and captured hundreds of captives. Then they led them back slowly, and they took their lead as normal."

Zhang Xiaochun was in a heavy heart because he did not know the people well when deploying the defense at Shiling Pass and used people improperly, which resulted in the loss of geographical advantages and the opportunity to defeat the enemy. This led to the rapid siege of Taiyuan City before it had time to prepare for the battle. He felt that Taiyuan City was in danger. In order to avoid greater casualties and prevent the Jin people from massacring the city, he had the idea of ​​surrendering to Kaicheng. On this day, he convened a meeting of all supervisors to discuss, "planning to surrender the prisoners."

After Wang Zhen learned about it, he immediately led swordsmen to the magistrate's office to pay homage to Zhang Xiaochun. He asked the swordsmen to line up in front of the government office, and asked loudly: "Do you want to be an official?"

Everyone replied: "Yes"

Wang Zhen said: "If you make meritorious service to the court, you can get an official position." He then asked: "Do you want a reward?"

Everyone replied: "Yes"

Wang Zhen said, "If you defend the imperial court from enemies, you can get rewards." He went on to say, "You both want an official position and a reward, so you should declare your strength and dedicate yourself to loyal and defend the country. As you have said in your generations. What should I do if I surrender?”

Everyone raised their swords and replied: "I am willing to kill him with this"

Wang Zhen asked: "If I surrender, what should I do?"

Everyone raised their swords again and replied: "I am also begging to be killed."

Wang Zhen asked again: "Xuanfu and the supervisors have promised to surrender, what should we do?"

Everyone raised their swords again and replied: "I am also begging to be killed."

Zhang Xiaochun was shocked when he saw this. From then on, he "never dared to speak out, and all the military power in the city was reserved."

At this time, the total number of troops and residents in the city was about . Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Zhen ordered the whole city to take action. All residents aged above and below were issued with weapons and armed. They were allocated areas and guarded the city day and night.

The circumference of Taiyuan City was only ten miles. They dug a trench outside the Tucheng and built another heavy wall inside the Tucheng. Military control was implemented over the grain stored in the city. Regardless of the rich or poor, all grains were supplied on a daily basis per capita.

Zhang Xiaochun was in charge of the government office, coordinating the logistics arrangements. Wang Zunze supervises the battles and defenses on the city wall every day. He takes the lead and rushes back and forth every day. Whenever there is an emergency, he comes to support in person. He not only wins the love of the people of Taiyuan, but also the Jin soldiers outside the city. I know that there is a brave and capable manager Wang in the city.

The Jin army took turns attacking for more than ten days, but Taiyuan City still stood tall. Various siege weapons such as ladders, side bridges, and catapults were all used by the Jin soldiers. The slightly larger stones on both sides of the Fen River were used by the Jin soldiers. However, every time they attacked, the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan City were attacked. He resisted tenaciously and was repulsed every time.

Zong Han was very angry about this. He ordered fortifications to be built outside the city and used antlers to surround Taiyuan City like an iron barrel. Taiyuan City is now like an isolated island, completely surrounded by the Jin Army. All external communication channels have been completely cut off by the Jin Army.

On December , when the Jin army was invading the country and faced a national crisis, Huizong of the Song Dynasty pretended to be ill and took the throne under the advice of his ministers. The crown prince Zhao Huan was in the Funing Hall while crying, and he was the Qinzong of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Huan was the eldest son of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. He was born on April , the third year of Yuanfu, and his mother was Queen Xiangong. The Wang family was the first wife of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and had a son and a daughter, Zhao Huan and Zhao Jinnu, the concubine of Emperor Rongde. When Zhao Huan was nine years old, Queen Wang, who was only years old, died of illness. When Zhao Huan was twelve years old, he was established as the crown prince.

After Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he pardoned the world as usual. The pardon said: "Our country's entrepreneurship and success will bring good luck for two hundred years; the house is large and has an area of ​​ miles. If you touch the bow, you will inherit the artifact. Forever. Thinking of the heavy burden of carrying the burden, I am afraid of the drama of spring ice; carrying only the hardship of facing the imperial army, I am worried about the deep decay. Today, the border is not peaceful, and the army is booming. I want to praise the grace of the wilderness, and with the hope of comforting the far away, I can give you a general amnesty. The world. On the day when the pardon letter is due, until the day is clear, the sinners will not be pardoned except for treason, conspiracy, treason, and evil rebellion. The rest of the sins are not serious. They have been discovered but not discovered, and the evidence has been established but not established. Those who have not been forgiven are always pardoned. , forgive him."

This amnesty letter was drafted by Wang Xiaodi, a Hanlin scholar. After the amnesty letter was released, it immediately aroused considerable social reaction. Because the pardon did not state that the emperor's accession to the throne was passed from the East Palace, "many people from all over the world doubted it, and scholars argued that it was not true." At that time, there were powerful enemies invading from outside, the emperor was enthroned internally, the country was in turmoil, and the situation between the government and the public was very complicated. All walks of life were paying close attention to the current situation and paying attention to every new change.

Subsequently, the Crown Princess Zhu was established as the empress, and Geng Nanzhong was appointed as a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace and a member of the Privy Council. This was all expected. Geng Nanzhong was an old official of the East Palace and had been with Zhao Huan for ten years. Zhao Huan always respected him.

Then, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict appointing Wu Min as the middle doctor and the assistant minister, Zhong Shidao as the school inspector Shaobao, the Jingnan Army Jiedushi, the Hebei Hedong Road system envoy and the capital commander, and the infantry commander He Guan was appointed envoy and deputy capital commander of Hedong Road in Hebei Province. These appointments were actually decisions made by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty before he ascended the throne, but had not yet had time to announce them. At that time, both Wu Min and He Guan were in the capital, while Zhong Shidao had become an official and lived in seclusion in Baolin Valley of Zhongnan Mountain.
