One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 449 Jingkang Difficulty (66)

That night, King Kang stayed in Yuanshui Town. King Kang felt that the journey was going well, so he placed wine in the tent and called Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan, Geng Yanxi, and Gao Shize over to raise a toast to express their condolences.

Pioneer Liu Hao suddenly sent a cavalry and reported to King Kang that after the vanguard arrived in Junzhou, they found that the Yellow River was not frozen, so he sent Ding Shun to lead people from the front army by boat to the other side. Before the Chinese army crossed the river, the former army encountered more than a thousand Jin Army cavalry in Xucheng County. The purpose of the Jin army is to gallop to Huazhou and intercept our army. Ding Shun was defeated by the Jin army and led the remaining army eastward. Liu Hao led a Chinese army of men and went north from Junzhou along the river road to catch up with the generalissimo and wait for orders.

After Wang Boyan heard this, he was worried that the Huazhou Jin army would cross the river to pursue Liu Hao, so he followed him along the road. At the fifth watch, he advised King Kang to leave early. For the sake of confidentiality, Wang Boyan strictly ordered the generals to have breakfast in bed without informing the troops.

According to the original schedule, King Kang was going to have breakfast in a certain restaurant, but now the situation had changed and he did not dare to keep the appointment, so he lost contact with his servant, Chef Chuan.

King Kang made a temporary decision to change the marching route and not take the main road but the small road. After dawn, King Kang and others rode to a village. The villagers were very enthusiastic, setting fire for them to cook, and warming wine for King Kang to roast and dry the meat. King Kang invited Geng Yanxi and others to sit around the fire.

After a while, several villagers came and reported that there were three Jin Army cavalry outside the village just now. They asked them how many days had passed for King Kang's army, and they replied that several days had passed. The Jin man hit the saddle with his riding whip and said: "Lost detection, lost detection." When King Kang heard this, he immediately got on his horse and left.

At this time, although the weather was sunny, the wind was biting. King Kang heard that the officers and soldiers complained about the cold, so he came to the army to express condolences to the officers and soldiers. When the officers and soldiers saw King Kang bowing his armor and showing no signs of fatigue on and off his horses, they asked the officers and soldiers how they felt and encouraged them again and again. All three officers and soldiers felt warm in their hearts, as if they were wearing cotton clothes.

King Kang saw that Geng Yanxi was very cold, so he gave him a piece of cotton fur that he usually wore. Seeing that Wang Boyan could not bear the cold, he took off his dark green Panluo war robe and gave it to him together with the ribbon. Got him.

On the afternoon of December , King Kang arrived at Daming Mansion in Beijing. Zhang Cui, the powerful magistrate of Daming Prefecture, and Qin Fu, Yan Qi, deputy general managers of North Road, led the officials, soldiers and civilians out of the city to greet him in the suburbs.

At that time, the capital city had been besieged by the Jin army for a long time, and orders were blocked. As for the fact that King Kang was ordered to establish the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou, many state governments did not know about it. Now, King Kang crossed the river and headed north. The Generalissimo's Mansion was stationed in Beijing, and his reputation became great. The soldiers from all over the world will soon gather together, and all military operations will depend on the Generalissimo's Mansion.

When King Kang Zhaogou crossed the river and headed north, the city of Tokyo was busy carrying silk and silk from the treasury to the Jin army. The Jin people asked for million pieces of silk, and Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty agreed in full and ordered that all the silk stored in the Yuanfeng and Daguan treasury be allocated. The accumulated tribute from Hebei for many years, as well as silk from Zhejiang and South China, were all to be sent to the Jin army.

Some handling officials were very angry with the Jin people, but they did not dare to resist openly and would only play tricks in secret. In the process of transporting silk, they often pass it off as good, or even mix in some inferior products to deceive the rich.

Jin people are very smart and not easy to fool. They seem to have taken precautions and strictly inspect the quality of each batch of silk. Once an unqualified product is discovered, it will be marked with ink and immediately requested to be returned or exchanged.

Zong Han was very angry when he learned that the officials of the Song Dynasty were cheating on the silk. He roared angrily: "The army is still here, and it wants to make an alliance with Chongqing." So he ordered the city gate to be closed and the transportation to stop.

Song Qinzong was panicked, worried that he would offend the Jin people. If he really sent troops into the city, it would be okay, so he hurriedly ordered to select the most extraordinary people of Beijin from the inner palace and send them to the Jin army. At the same time, Song Qinzong took advantage of the beginning of spring on December to send people to Zong Han and Zong Wang to send native cattle and colorful wars.

Zong Han said: "It's not necessary to use many etiquette to convey the message to Emperor Zhao." In fact, he liked it very much, so he ordered the city gate to be opened and continued to carry silk and silk.

The people carrying silk and silk outside the city were all soldiers of the Song Dynasty, that is, the Fourth Army of the Capital and the Baojia of the Capital. The envoys of the three yamen, namely the Palace Front Division, the Guards and Pro-Army Ma Jun Division, and the Guards and Pro-Army Infantry Division, are all responsible for supervising the armies in different places. Each army also flies different flags to distinguish them from each other. All the commanders were in high spirits and rushed to express their merits to the Jin people, complain to the Jin people, obtain approval slips from the Jin people, and receive food money from the Jin people.

Some commanders even boasted proudly: "When I go alone, I have to accept it and not return it." As a soldier, as a senior military commander, the country has fallen to this point, but there is no shame. What kind of thing is this? I'm depreesed

The Jin people have been surrounding the garrison in the capital for many days. At this time, what Zong Han and Zong Wang were most worried about was that the soldiers of King Qin of the Song Dynasty gathered from all directions. On the one hand, they closely monitored the movements in the capital, and on the other hand, they divided their forces to occupy the four auxiliary prefectures and counties in the capital, "with the intention of neglecting reinforcements." The so-called four auxiliary prefectures and counties in the capital were established under the order of Song Huizong in the fourth year of Chongning, with the purpose of protecting the capital. The southern auxiliary is Yingchang Prefecture, the eastern auxiliary is Gongzhou, the western auxiliary is Zhengzhou, and the northern auxiliary is Chanzhou.

On December , the Jin army captured Yingchang Prefecture, and the prefect He Zhitong abandoned the city and fled. The Jin soldiers immediately entered the city and searched for property everywhere. They robbed gold, silver, silk, silk, pommel horses and other items, which were incalculable. The Jin soldiers set fire to and massacred the city for three days, killing countless people.

After Zong Han learned of the situation, he strictly ordered his troops not to enter Han Jiang's house. Thousands of civilians fled into Han Jiang's house, thus avoiding the killings.

Han Jiang has experienced four generations of emperors in the Song Dynasty and has a prominent reputation. In the second year of Qingli reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, he ranked third in the imperial examination in high school and was ranked third in the imperial examination. Later, he served successively as a judge of the household department, a Zhizhigao, a Hanlin bachelor, and a censor Zhongcheng. Song Yingzong was appointed to Shizhong and had the right to know Kaifeng Mansion. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, officials paid homage to the Deputy Privy Envoy and participated in political affairs. Zhezong of the Song Dynasty was the envoy of Zhenjiang at that time. He opened the three divisions of Yitong and was granted the title of Duke of Kang. In the second year of Yuanyou, he served as Sikong and Inspector.

Perhaps Zong Han was worried that the behavior of the Jin soldiers in Yingchang Mansion would anger the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers. On the th, Zonghan sent people to send Hu Zhiru, the general manager of the host road, and Zhang Yaozuo, Zhiwu Shengjun, two ministers of the Song Dynasty, into the city. The purpose may be to express his sincerity in negotiating peace and appease the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

Hu Zhiru was formerly the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture. About a month ago, he led troops as the host general and came to Tokyo to serve the king. When they reached Xiangyi, they encountered more than a hundred elite iron kite riders of the Jin army. Ten thousand men were defeated without a fight, and Hu Zhiru himself became a prisoner. Zhang Yaozuo originally knew that Wei was victorious, and Xie Qian once led troops to fight the Jin army here. Later, Jie Qian's army was defeated and retreated, and Zhang Yaozuo surrendered in Kaicheng.
