One Piece of Song Dynasty

The Kaifeng Prefecture then sent people to first detain Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu and other family members in Beijing. Regardless of their age, they are all tied up with ropes and listed in the corridors of the government office. Then, they were sent to Jinying in batches.

Some family members stayed in the verandah for a day or two without being sent back, without food or accommodation. These people were suffering from hunger and cold. "The sound of hunger and cold was heard day and night."

Chen Guoting, the minister of Zhongshu, led civil and military officials each as envoys to cede territory, and hurried to Qingcheng to report to the Jin army. However, the Jin people seemed not ready to take over the land, so Zong Han ordered them to stay in the army and wait.

On December , Xiao Qing went to the palace to see Song Qinzong and said: "In February of this year, the emperor negotiated peace with the second prince, Marshal, and promised in the oath to pay three million taels of gold, thirty million taels of silver, and one million taels of satin. Horse." Song Qinzong nodded and admitted.

Xiao Qing said: "Now, the Prime Minister and Marshal will use these gold and silk to reward the soldiers. I hope the emperor can send them to the army as soon as possible."

Song Qinzong felt very puzzled: "Now that the national treasury is empty, where can we get so much gold and silk?"

Xiao Qing smiled slightly and said: "The Prime Minister and the Marshal said that if the emperor feels embarrassed and cannot pay the full amount of gold and silk, then send troops into the city and let them get it themselves."

Song Qinzong said hurriedly: "Don't send troops into the city. I will do my best to deal with it."

Therefore, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty immediately issued an imperial edict containing gold and silver. The book said: "The Jin army has arrived on the city and cannot gather its troops to protect the country. All living beings are alive and benevolent. Nowadays, the capital is owned by both public and private people. They are all in front of the Jin army." The officials and the people should do their best to reward the Jin army. The treasury property has been donated in front of the army, but the amount is too small and insufficient for expenditure. The rich and powerful families in Qili in the city should be grateful. The Queen's family took the lead and took the lead in exhausting the money. Wealth, reward the troops of the Jin Dynasty. The Kaifeng Prefecture was ordered to name and hear the memorial, and the imperial court should be honored with officials and titles. He also ordered the Kaifeng Prefecture to send officials to travel all over the country and forward them to the Jin Army. The people were unknown, and a special edict was issued. If there is anything hidden, Those who bury them in a cellar and cause a loss of faith to this dynasty shall be subject to military law."

Once the edict was promulgated, the social response was very strong. The people thought that after handing over the horses and weapons, the matter would be over, but they did not expect that they would also search for gold, silver, and silk. The entire capital was suddenly plunged into panic again.

According to the spirit of the imperial edict, Shangshu Province then formulated a specific standard for gold and silver donations for officials below the former consul. After Song Qinzong approved it, Kaifeng Mansion was ordered to publish a list.

There are six officials of the former ruling minister Chengzhi Neihan who are currently in Beijing. Each of them donated twenty taels of gold, five hundred taels of silver, and thirty pieces of color. There were thirty-three people above the general of Zuo Jinwu Guard, each of whom donated ten taels of gold and four hundred taels of silver.

On December , Kaifeng Mansion once again posted a list, urging the powerful and wealthy families in Qili to hurry to the government to hand over their belongings. He also warned that if he dared to hide and allow people of all kinds to report, he would be rewarded with three-tenths of his property, and he would be paid with official money first, and the prisoner would be dealt with according to military law. Anyone who knows and fails to report is also guilty of the same crime as the criminal.

At noon that day, Congzheng Lang Chen Fu took the lead in arriving at Kaifeng Mansion to register, and was willing to donate all the silverware in the open Helelou main store to reward the Jin Army.

According to the imperial edict, Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe repeatedly reprimanded Empress Zheng's father Zheng Shen and asked him to pay gold and silk quickly. But Zheng Shen was unwilling to donate all the gold and silk, and planned to hide part of it, but was reported.

On December , Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was furious after learning about the situation. He immediately issued an edict to destroy all official positions of Empress Zheng's father and ancestors on the charge of concealing gold and silk.

Because of this incident, many people were dismissed from their official positions. The specific officers and envoys of Kaifeng Prefecture were even fettered and ordered to the city.

At this time, Kang Wang Zhaogou had not yet received the secret edict from Song Qinzong asking him to lead the troops to "divide the troops into nearby villages in case of difficulties, so as not to move lightly."

After Cao Fu left the city with the secret edict on the third day of December, he was worried that the Jin would follow him, so he did not go north to Xiangzhou, but went east to Caozhou. In Caozhou, Cao Fu said to the defender Zeng Mao: "The Jin soldiers have occupied the outer city of Tokyo. The emperor has made peace with them. The Jin soldiers have promised not to enter the city."

Zeng Mao was very doubtful about this and said: "The Jin people are greedy, violent and cunning. How can anyone climb the city and gather troops? The public and other family members must have become prisoners. They were threatened by the Jin people and said this."

Seeing that Zeng Mao didn't believe it, Cao Fu tore open his clothes, showed him the emperor's secret edict, and asked him to find a way to deliver the secret edict to the military marshal, King Kang.

After everything was prepared, on December , Kang Wang Zhao Gou led his troops as the generalissimo and set off northward from Xiangzhou.

King Kang did a good job of keeping this military operation secret. Before departure, the people of Xiangzhou and the army soldiers thought that King Kang would go south, first to Tangyin, and then along Junzhou and Huazhou, all the way to the capital for rescue.

On December , King Kang led his troops from the north gate of Xiangzhou. Only then did people realize that King Kang was not going south, but going north.

Deputy Marshal Wang Boyan accompanied King Kang all the way and was responsible for protecting King Kang's safety on the road. The day before, Wang Boyan had handed over the general administration of Ma Bujun, the general manager of Xiangzhou and Zhendingfu Road to appease the company, to the general magistrate Zhao Bushi.

When King Kang stayed in Xiangzhou, he felt very lonely and entrusted Wang Boyan to find close relatives in the clan. There happened to be a military commander named Shiju who was the most subordinate to King Kang, so they often ate and lived together. Now, Shiju also accompanies King Kang.

On the evening of the th, King Kang arrived in Linzhang County. That night, King Kang and others stayed at the home of Xia Yi, the minister of Linzhang County. Suddenly, a house caught fire, with thick smoke billowing and flames stretching across the sky. Shiju thought that the fire must be set by spies to repay the money. Everyone was in panic and advised King Kang to leave quickly. King Kang was very calm, lying in the tent, and said to the people around him: "Don't panic, it's just a fire occasionally, why are spies here?"

Soon, the explorers who went to the Yellow River reported back: "The ice on the Yellow River has melted and it is impassable. People nearby said that spring begins on the th, and the ice on the Yellow River usually thaws around the beginning of spring."

This news shocked King Kang, Wang Boyan and others. Everyone thought that the ancestral temple and the country were of great importance, and they could do so in one fell swoop. King Kang then burned incense himself and prayed to heaven, earth and river gods.

At the fifth watch, Yang Qing reported to King Kang: "The ice on the Yellow River in Yuanshui Town has frozen again. Hay, coarse cloth and loess have been placed on the ice, and the generalissimo is invited to cross the river."

King Kang was very happy when he heard it and set off at night. Arriving at the bank of the Yellow River, King Kang got into a small car and crossed the river safely. Afterwards, the army all crossed the river safely. Only after grain trucks crossed the river, the ice had thinned, and more than a dozen trucks got stuck in the river. The mount of the envoy Gao Gonghai accidentally drowned in the river.

After crossing the river, it was already bright. It had been snowing continuously for the past few days and the sky was gloomy. Now, after King Kang crossed the river, the sky suddenly became bright and clear, and the clouds dispersed. I saw a group of red and yellow clouds hugging the sun in the eastern sky. The three officers and soldiers were very excited and cheered.
