One Piece of Song Dynasty

Many people disagreed with King Kang's idea of ​​rescuing the capital. Some people even advised King Kang not to leave Xiangzhou: "Wang Boyan guards Xiangzhou very carefully. It is safe to live in Xiangzhou for the time being. If the Jin people come to attack, they must not attack."

After hearing this, King Kang pretended to be angry and scolded the man severely. King Kang summoned envoys and generals many times to hold meetings at Shi'en Hall to discuss the route to the capital.

The three envoys of Qin Zai, Liu Ding and Hou Zhang believed that King Qin's army could go straight south, passing through Junzhou and Huazhou, and go straight to the capital for rescue.

However, all the generals thought it was impossible. They said: "The Yellow River is not frozen now, and there is no ferry in Junzhou. How to cross the river is difficult. Huazhou is a Jin people's military stronghold, and the military strongholds stationed in Changyuan and Weicheng are all Dazhai. How can we go directly to Erbu?"

Qin Zai and others said: "If there is no ferry, you can use silk ribbons to cross the river, and soldiers and horses can climb to cross it. As for Huazhou Weicheng and other Jin people's strongholds, you can avoid it and keep going south."

All the generals objected: "The Jin people are in Huazhou on the south bank, and the silk ribbons must be tied on the south bank. Who can cross the river to tie them? If our army is halfway across the Yellow River, and the silk ribbons are cut off by the Jin people, how can we bypass Jinzhai and go south?" The soldiers can move to fight, but what will the Grand Marshal and the King do? If they fail to win and need to retreat, how can they safely cross the border again?" Qin Zai and others could not answer.

In fact, the generals did not want to go directly to rescue Tokyo at all. They knew that the Jin army had gathered heavy troops outside the capital. To rescue the capital is to throw yourself into a trap. Once you get close, the entire army will be destroyed. They wanted to lead their troops northward and return to the Xingzhou and Mingzhou areas. So they proposed to cross the Yellow River first and go to Daming Mansion in Beijing.

King Kang asked: "Why don't you go straight to Chanyuan?"

The generals explained: "If you run towards Chanyuan, you will inevitably approach Li Gu's enemy stronghold. If the Jin army is disturbed, it is not a foolproof strategy."

At this time, Meng Shining happened to be ordered from Daming Mansion in Beijing to come to Xiangzhou to deliver a letter to King Kang. He crossed the Yellow River from Yuanshui Town to Zicheng, and the Yellow River just froze and was passable. The meeting decided to first cross the river and go north to Damingfu, and then study the next step of rescuing the capital.

The Yin Yang official calculated that the departure date was the th of this month. Geng Nanzhong advised King Kang not to listen to the Yin and Yang officials and to set off on the th. King Kang agreed. Therefore, the Generalissimo's Mansion first sent Liu Hao as the vanguard, leading a group of troops to move southward and move near Junzhou and Huazhou in order to confuse the Jin army and cover King Kang's northward march.

In order to ensure the safety of King Kang, the Generalissimo's Mansion also issued an order to the Road Marshal Division of Daming Prefecture, ordering them to send troops to station in Old Wei County to prevent the Jin Army from New Wei County; and then sent troops to station in Neihuang County to prevent Sliding Prefecture. The golden army. The Director-General of the Road Capital of Daming Prefecture dispatched Meng Shining, the Chief Marquis of Hemen, to lead troops to garrison Neihuang County, and Wang Yan, the Superintendent of the Military and Horse Command of Daming Prefecture, led troops to garrison Old Wei County.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Gou ordered Geng Yanxi to draft an edict. The edict stated that the Generalissimo's Office had chosen December th to set off from Xiangzhou with troops, cross the Yellow River, and go to Daming Mansion in Beijing. The military garrison ministers from various states are required to rush to Daming Mansion to meet up after December and before the th of the first lunar month according to the distance. The state troops must obey orders and arrive on time. Then we will review the march and rescue the capital.

To convey the edict to all parts of Hebei, many copies needed to be made. King Kang then ordered people to set up lanterns and candles and organize people to copy it all night long. He asked the Generalissimo's Mansion to start sending people to distribute the goods early the next morning.

From then on, every other day, the Generalissimo's Office sent a group of people to Zhongshan Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Jizhou, Xinde Prefecture, Luzhou, Shenzhou, Cizhou, Dezhou, Dizhou, Bozhou, Qingyuan Prefecture, Baozhou, etc. The prefectural armies of Hebei provinces including Zhouzhou, Baoding Army, Guangxin Army, Binzhou, Ansu Army, Enzhou, Cangzhou, Mozhou, Yongjing Army, Qingzhou, etc. conveyed the imperial edict and dispatched a total of six batches.

Before each group of people set off, King Kang personally saw them off and promised: "After completing the mission and returning, the official will be promoted to one level." So everyone was happy and marched forward in the wind and snow.

Later, basically all the edicts were sent to all parts of Hebei. Only the two prefectures of Zhongshan and Qingyuan could not be delivered because they were still surrounded by the Jin army.

On the fourth day of December, Zonghan sent Xiao Qing into the city to inspect the inventory of various treasuries in the Song Dynasty and take over all documents and files. After Xiao Qing entered the city, he focused his inspection on the internal storage warehouse.

The so-called Neizangku refers to the Fengchunku built during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty was resentful that the land of Yanyun had fallen to the Khitan, but he was unable to recover it, so he stored the remaining money every year in the Fengchun Treasury. He planned to use the money to redeem the land of Yanyun when the wealth was abundant, or to redeem the land of Yanyun. It is used to reward warriors to regain the land of Yanyun. Taizu of the Song Dynasty left an edict for this purpose: descendants of the future generations must not use this money for any other purpose.

Later, Fengchun Library evolved into Neizang Library. Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty wrote an imperial poem about this, saying: "When the picture is lost in the five seasons, the eagle and the hole are blazing. The ancestors of art built a country, and the foundation is to recruit scholars. The mother is generous and generous, and she must abide by the legacy. I can't help you, how can I succeed?" Victory. Dragons and tigers bring good luck, mountains and rivers control the capital. Turtles extend Bao Zuo, and phoenix virtues show spiritual talismans. The way is prosperous and Yao consults the mountains, and the merits of Yu are great. The nine-fold square holds the elephant, and the territory of the world is determined for thousands of miles."

This poem has a total of seventy-two words, and each word is the number of a warehouse, so there are seventy-two warehouses. Each warehouse is "overflowing", filled with gold, silver, brocade and various treasures accumulated by the Song Dynasty for more than years.

Song Qinzong arranged for Wu Kai and Mo Chou to lead Xiao Qing and others into the warehouse for verification. Xiao Qing started from "Lost Pictures of Five Seasons" and looked at them one by one in order. After watching "玁狁空Chi", he decided to stop looking. Because there were so many treasures in the inner vault, he didn't dare to look at them more. He immediately rode back and reported to Zong Han. Zonghan then sent people to seal all the inner treasury and seal them.

After Xiao Qing returned to the city, he moved into the Shangshu Provincial Court Hall as an envoy of the Jin Army. There is another Jin envoy who previously lived in Dutingyi, but now he also follows Xiao Qing to live in Shangshu Provincial Court Hall. On behalf of Zong Han and Zong Wang, Xiao Qing announced to Song Qinzong: From now on, all military and political activities of the Song Dynasty court must be informed to us in advance.

On December , Zong Han sent people into the city again to ask for good horses from the Song Dynasty. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty immediately ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to convey an edict: Except for one horse retained by the current minister, minister, supervisor, Langguan, and other ministerial officials, the rest of the horses should be delivered to the Kaifeng Mansion within three days. Those who remain in hiding will be ordered to march with the whole family; those who sue will be rewarded three days in cash. Qian Guan.

As a result, from the imperial horse down, Kaifeng Mansion received a total of more than horses, all of which were given to the Jin army. Even the horses controlled by the imperial guards, Ban Zhi, were handed over. These Ban Zhi Imperial Guards should know very well what it means to hand over the horses. Therefore, they felt "very ashamed" when handing over their horses.

From then on, some of the scholar-officials in the city rode in sedan chairs astride donkeys, and some walked on foot. "The horses in the capital were now empty."

After the Jin people took control of the horses in the capital, the Zhao family's royal family and the officials of the imperial court completely lost the possibility of breaking out of the capital, and they all became turtles in a urn, unable to fly.
