One Piece of Song Dynasty

Huang Qianshan and deputy general manager Yang Weizhong came to Dongping Mansion on the th of the first lunar month. They brought more than troops of their own. Among them, there are Zhang Huan of the Guangxin Army, Gao Gonghan of the Baoding Army, Xin Yanzong of Junzhou, and Wang Che of the Ansu Army, with Yang Weizhong as the capital commander. Their arrival made the army of the Generalissimo's army even more popular. King Kang was very happy and comforted them generously. Everyone was moved and happy.

Regarding Huang Qianshan's suggestion, King Kang did not express his position. Geng Nanzhong clearly expressed his opposition. He said: "It is clear that the Jin people rely on violence and are unreasonable, so why bother to argue with them? And they are eager to get the king. Since Cao Fu returned, the Jin people resented not seeing the king. If they get this belief , knowing that the king is stationed in Dongping, asking the Taihuang and the emperor to write urgent words to order the king to return as soon as possible. If the king returns or not, there will be unforeseen disasters; if he does not return, he will violate the edict of the two emperors again.

Moreover, the king is benevolent and filial, and he will return home in tears after receiving the handwriting of the second emperor. Most of the officials who followed the king were from Tokyo. They wanted to return home after being a long-term guest, so they would urge the king to return. If the king returns, there will be unforeseen disasters internally, and externally there will be no unity among the troops of the diligent king.

In addition, all the giant thieves who come to recruit peace will rely on the king to calm them down and prevent chaos. If the king returns, there will be chaos outside. If there is external chaos, the Jin people will work together internally. It is better to advise the king to cultivate his prestige outside and make the Jin people unpredictable. This is the strategy. "

Huang Qianshan added: "The king is not allowed to write to the Jin people, for fear that the Jin people will know where the king is. This is correct. However, why don't the servants write to the Jin people? The servant can say in the letter that because he is the emperor's master, He was also an old official, so he went out to the north of the city, hoping to make peace with Dajin. Later, he heard that the Jin army was advancing deeply, so he decided to raise troops on his own. The other contents can be as mentioned before.

You can imitate Sun Zhongmou's letter to Cao Mengde: Spring water is born, and the public should go quickly. Jin people like cold but are afraid of warmth, so they can say in the letter: The weather is getting warmer, so it’s better to go quickly. Southerners like warmth but hate cold. The weather is getting warmer, which will be beneficial to the Song army. Once the Song army advances greatly, it will be detrimental to the Jin Dynasty. "

Geng Nanzhong argued: "This is all about beating a thief with words, but not based on reality. If the Jin people reply to the letter and make an appointment to challenge, and save the power of our army, which is outnumbered, we can fight or not. If we don't fight, we will surrender. If we fight, we will not know the outcome." . Therefore, it is better to cultivate prestige and make Jin people unpredictable."

Huang Qianshan was unhappy when he saw that neither suggestion was accepted, so he asked to lead troops to garrison Caozhou, and asked Zhang Huan, Gao Gongfu, Wang Shan, Ding Shun, Meng Shining, Wen Zongjian, Li Dajun, Zhang Zong, Wang Che, Dong Yi, etc. All armies are under his control.

In fact, Huang Qianshan was not the only one who had the idea of ​​writing to the Jin people to persuade them to withdraw their troops. Zhao Ye, the general manager of the North Road, Fan Ne, the Xuanfu envoy, Zongze, the deputy marshal, Bangyan, the defender of Jizhou, Weng Yanguo, the shipping envoy, and Xiang Zichen, the judge, also had similar ideas. Later, Xiang Zikai sent his envoy Liu Gui to deliver a letter to the Jin army. What was said in the letter was roughly the same as what Huang Qianshan said.

After reading the letter, Zong Han and Zong Wang respectively issued orders to use Bo, Song and other prefectures as garrison posts to prepare for war with the Song army. The Jin people left Liu Gui behind and sent a small envoy to the Song army with a letter saying: "Please set a date and wait for approval." The Jin people made rude remarks in the letter and made an appointment to challenge.

Xiang Ziyi and others did not dare to answer. After Huang Qianshan heard about it, he began to understand how superficial and naive the suggestion he had made to King Kang was, and he felt deeply ashamed.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the Generalissimo's Office issued an order appointing Yang Weizhong as the capital commander and Xin Yanzong as the vanguard. Commander Zhang Huan led men, Gao Gongfu led men to garrison in Xingren Mansion, and Wang Che led Ansu troops to garrison in Yunzhou.

On the th day of the first lunar month, the matter of paying gold and silver to the Jin people came to an end. According to statistics from Kaifeng Prefecture, the total amount includes taels of gold and million taels of silver.

However, the Jin people still refused to let Song Qinzong return to the city. This makes the common people feel that the situation is not good. People are worried about whether the Jin people will send troops into the city to rob the city next. As a result, some people secretly made weapons for self-defense.

After the Privy Council learned of the situation, they urgently notified Kaifeng Mansion: According to the investigation, residents living in the lanes and alleys outside the old city have often made up rumors and talked about troubles recently. They gathered people in the name of protection and made weapons privately. This matter could easily cause trouble and even disturb the Jin army, which was deeply inconvenient. The Kaifeng Prefecture should issue an announcement as soon as possible and implement restrictions.

The Kaifeng Prefecture then posted a notice at Zhuque Gate: From now on, no one is allowed to make weapons without authorization, and all iron furnace households are not allowed to open furnaces. If there is any violation, he will be arrested and brought to the official level and severely punished.

Early the next morning, the wind and rain suddenly came violently. All temples and temples in the city are open to the public, allowing scholars and common people to burn incense, pray for clear weather, and pray for the Holy Master to return to the city. All the streets and alleys in the city also invited monks and Taoists to serve as dojos. From Xuande Gate to Nanxunmen, the dojos were listed, and "the thoroughfares were filled with fragrance and overflowing with praises."

In the afternoon, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. On the broad imperial road, all the fathers, elders, scholars, monks and Taoists gathered in the clouds. Some loyal people's behavior was even more extreme. Some of them burned their heads, some made their arms, and some locked their mouths, all kneeling under Nanxun's door. Countless people, holding incense burners in their hands, knelt down and cried in the muddy water.

In the evening, Kaifeng Mansion announced another announcement: "Before driving, I will pass on the imperial edict: just wait for the weather to clear and the game to be over, then return to the city. I hope the soldiers and civilians will know."

On the st of the first lunar month, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense. Because Jin soldiers came down to the city last night to plunder, many of them were secretly killed by the people. In addition, when the people were doing business with the Jin soldiers at the city wall, some people used urine to pass off as wine. However, the Jin soldiers found out that two of them were killed on the spot, and the others scattered. For a time, the rumors in the capital were quite scary.

Soon, Kaifeng Mansion issued a yellow list notice: military and civilian elders must not cause trouble. Recently, when we were trading business with the Jin people in the city, some people drank dirty water instead of wine, which almost caused trouble. From now on, those who dare to exchange all kinds of miscellaneous things will practice military law.

Xiao Qing once promised Qinzong of the Song Dynasty: "As soon as the gold and silver are exchanged, the two commanders will ask the emperor to hit the ball. After the banquet, the emperor will be sent to the city. Please urge him to pay for the gold and silver." Song Qinzong believed it to be true.

On the nd of the first lunar month, Xiao Qing, on the orders of Zong Han and Zong Wang, negotiated with the envoys of the Song Dynasty, Wu Kai and Mo Chou, and agreed on the following matters:

. Daozong was exempted from traveling north, and six people including the prince, Kang Wang and the prime minister were taken as hostages.

. Song palace utensils should be used as tribute, and the land south of the Yellow River and Bianjing should be exempted. There are two emperors and concubines, four ancestral concubines and clan concubines, palace maids, female musicians, craftsmen of all kinds, million taels of silver silk added every year, and a large tribute. gold.

. It was originally scheduled that one person each from the prince, prime minister, and relatives of the governor of Hebei should be deported at full speed and be released after delivery.

. The original reward of one million gold ingots and five million silver ingots to the army must be completed within ten days. If the number is not enough, the emperor's concubine and princess will be allowed one thousand gold ingots each, the clan concubine will be allowed five hundred gold ingots, the clan concubine will be allowed two hundred gold ingots, the clan's wife will be allowed five hundred silver ingots, and the clan's wife will be allowed two silver ingots. One hundred ingots, one hundred ingots of silver for each of the ladies of the noble family, it is up to the commander's house to choose.

This is an agreement that deeply shames the people of Song Dynasty. However, in order to preserve the Zhao family, the country, and the country, under the persuasion of Wu Kai, Mo Chou and others, Song Qinzong finally signed the agreement.

After that, Song Qinzong gave special instructions to Xu Bingzhe, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture: I will return the ball after I finish playing. Gold and silver can only be paid on the next day, and they will all be collected before the army.
