One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Ruoshui's third note mainly describes his personal experience and what he saw and heard in Hebei: "I and others entered the Jin army from Shenzhou, turned around for more than a thousand miles, and returned to Nanguan. Anyone in Lifu . There were two who came to the army, seven to the county, and four to the village. There were no people of this dynasty, but dozens of Jin people were seen in the camp. All the official buildings and houses were burned down, and there was no one with a bottle of opium or a house. The whole person.

However, in Jingxing, Baixing, Shouyang, Yuci, Xugou, Taigu and other places, only the people still exist, but they are now mixed with Han and Tibetan areas. Only Ying Gongzao said: "I can't bear it, so I have to threaten you and surrender." Men, women, old and young, were subjected to the tombs of the Jin people day by day, leaving them crippled and impoverished, like people in the dark world. Whenever I see ministers and others coming to discuss peace, although I don't speak a word, I always ask for help with my heart. I often put my hands on my forehead, moan and choke, and even shed tears.

Also on the mountain, I saw a continuous stream of people fleeing. I heard that each of them gathered the scattered soldiers, set up strongholds and fences to defend themselves, and held bows and knives to defend the enemy. If the Jin people repeatedly send people to lure them, they will be killed. It can be seen that fighting for integrity and righteousness, resisting the golden man with all his strength, really means falling in love.

But the two roads in Hebei and Hedong have been immersed in the virtues of our ancestors for two hundred years. Yesterday, because of Cai Jing's manipulation, the new policy was poisonous and the people were in dire straits. Then Tong Guan opened the door, and Yan Yun was the first to cause trouble, searching for the blood of the people and making things empty. The young men are tired of regulating their hair, and their property is in ruins. The road howls, weeps and complains of nothing, the coals are stale, who can save us?

At the beginning of his succession, His Majesty tried his best to implement benevolent government. With these two roads alone, the side affairs have not ended, and the mellow beauty has not yet been bathed. Now the enemy is riding on the mausoleum and is attacking and conquering it. How could the people know that they are bound to follow. However, the people in the city have no intention of patrolling towards the enemy; the people in the mountains are eager to die. It can be said that he lived up to the imperial court.

I feel sorry for the innocent people, and I admire the righteousness of the people. I am ashamed of my face and feel pain in my lungs and liver. With His Majesty's concern for the people and his love for the people, the person who is in charge of the affairs has wronged the country before and after, and is trapped in this place. You can shed tears or cry bitterly. To say this is really taboo. Ran Chen and others, who were only loyal and filial, witnessed what happened and couldn't bear to hear about it.

Your Majesty Fuwang paid close attention to the sacred monument, and collected the foolish sayings. He issued a mournful edict to comfort the people in the past, and thought about rescue plans to save the people in the future. He answered the heart of heaven and comforted Yuanyuan's hope. "

It should be said that Li Ruoshui's three letters are still very valuable. They provided the court with a lot of precious information about Zong Wang, Zong Han and the situation in Hebei. For example, the prince and the prime minister are Zong Wang and Zong Han. Who has the final say? With stronger strength, is it possible for Zong Wang and Zong Han to march straight in? Are there still official and military activities in Hebei, are there any private anti-gold organizations, etc.

At this time, the side report of the fall of Zhending Mansion had just been delivered to the court, which happened to be corroborated with Li Ruoshui's Zazi. Song Qinzong was "very worried". Tang Ke, Nie Chang, Geng Nanzhong and others falsely reported to Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty: "The loss of Zhending was caused by the thieves who sacrificed the city to Tongju. Otherwise, how could it have been broken?" They all agreed that the two towns in Zhongshan Hejian were still standing tall. In Hebei, the weight of negotiation with the Jin people is still in the hands of the imperial court.

Song Qinzong thought about it again and again and felt that there were no suitable generals in Hebei and Hedong. If he wanted to defend the territory, he had to recruit heroes. So he decided to accept Li Ruoshui's suggestion and issued a mournful edict, which said: "I am a good neighbor and I will surrender myself." The increase of coins is everywhere, so the territory is protected and the people are nourished. The enemy has not retreated and captured the city. Every time I hear the reports from the side, my heart is broken and I have ordered to summon all the soldiers in the world.

Fan'erzhou County, how can it be trapped in the city and wait for his death? Now he looks up to the commanders in the east and west of the river and north of the river, and sends a message to the state troops under his command, so that everyone can take advantage of it. Together vertically and horizontally, they work together to rescue each other. They act as soon as they see it, without restraint. When he saw that the officials he appointed could lead the heroes of the countryside to defend the enemy and protect the county, the older ones favored the duke, and the younger ones were awarded the charioteer. Either summoned to the court, or inherited hereditary. Everyone should be in charge of the country, work hard and be effective, so that the tombs in the countryside will not be broken, and the parents and wives will be separated.

I prayed to the emperor, reported to the ancestral temple, and looked north with tears streaming down my face. I told you this clearly. Loyal ministers and righteous men would rather not be tempted, so I issued this edict. I thought it would be better to know it, and I still look up to the Xuanfu envoys to go around and report the edict. "

After the mournful edict was promulgated, all the scholars and people in the capital burst into tears and sobbed when they read the edict.

On the one hand, Song Qinzong was worried about the Jin people's use of troops in the Lianghe area, but he had no choice; on the other hand, since the imperial court exposed and criticized the "six thieves", a large number of officials were affected and could not be trusted and used. Song Qinzong felt that the talents There is also an increasing shortage.

On October , Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict: "To cultivate political affairs, we must rely on talents. Talents are very difficult and should be cherished. How can they be abolished for a small mistake? It is indeed an attempt to harm the government. The crime is clear and cannot be left to any end." Outside of the envoys, the rest were collected by Cai Cai. Don't say that Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, and Liang Shi were recommended by generations, but they were all abandoned. The common people were revolutionary and adapted to the times. The admonishers of the three provinces and Taiwan deeply understood this idea. To show the utmost justice.”

On October , Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty appointed Feng Fu, the former Minister of Rites, as a member of the Privy Council. After Zhongshidao was dismissed, a vacancy appeared in the Privy Council.

On October , Song Qinzong heard that there was a Feishan camp outside the city with many cannons, and he wanted to inspect it. Tang Ke, Nie Chang, Geng Nanzhong and others tried their best to dissuade him. They said: "How can you, the lord of ten thousand chariots, go out of the city to inspect the cannons that can kill people? How many people can you get?" Song Qinzong refused to listen and insisted on going.

The so-called flying mountains are stones, and the so-called cannons are trebuchets. In Feishan Camp on the outskirts of Tokyo, there are more than light and heavy trebuchets, which is a very powerful team.

Song Qinzong went out of the city to the suburbs. He wanted to see the power of the cannon with his own eyes and ordered the soldiers to perform actual combat demonstrations. However, the actual performance failed twice in succession. Once, when the soldier pressed the cannon rod, the cannon rod suddenly broke. The second time the situation was even more serious. The soldiers pulled the gun rope and threw the stone violently. When the stone fell to the ground, it killed a soldier. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was very unhappy when he saw this. It can be said that he came in good spirits and returned in defeat. When returning, Song Qinzong took the opportunity to climb the city wall and inspect the northern city defense situation.

Later, when it was heard that the Jin people were about to cross the river, the imperial court requested that the walls be fortified and the country cleared. But these more than trebuchets were left in the suburbs without anyone taking charge. The imperial court ordered the Ministry of War to collect them into the city. The Ministry of War said: "These cannons are under the control of the imperial court and should be taken back into the city by the Privy Council."

The Privy Council said: "This belongs to its own place and should be controlled by the Ordnance Supervisory Authority."

The Ordnance Supervisor replied: "The officer in charge is a chamberlain, and he has just resigned due to a crime."

The imperial court then ordered the capital to take responsibility and not to do anything. It replied: "The capital is in charge of defense. These cannons have not entered the defense range, so what do I have to do with it?"

Some people say that these cannons can be transported back to the city by horse-drawn carriages, so they should be the responsibility of the Driving Department. However, the driver didn't care and replied: "Why don't the Treasury accept it?"

In the end, these more than cannons were not transported into the city and were all left there. When the Jin army came to the city, they all belonged to the Jin army and could be used to attack the city.
