One Piece of Song Dynasty

The next day, civil and military officials attended the court meeting as usual. Zhang Bangchang appointed a group of officials at the court meeting: Wang Shiyong, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was in charge of the Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Menxia, ​​Kaifeng Yin Xu Bingzhe was in charge of the Zhongshu Province, Privy Councilor Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Kaiquan was the Minister on the left, and Hanlin scholar Mo Chou was on the right. The Prime Minister signed a letter to the Privy Council before Li Hui Quan informed the Privy Council, and the observation envoy Zuo Yanquan was in charge of the affairs of the front office of the Quan Palace. Fan Qiongquan was the commander of the four chambers, and Dali Qing Zhou Yiwen was in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhang Bangchang gave an order to all officials: "There are many reasons for the imperial court, and all officials have failed in their duties. From now on, everyone abides by the law, and the Yushitai is aware of it."

In fact, the officials did not really regard Zhang Bangchang as the emperor, "they still did not serve Bangchang with imperial courtesy." Only Wang Shiyong always addressed him as "Your Majesty" every time he spoke. Zhang Bangchang rebuked him every time and stopped him: "Don't worry that people will laugh at me after hearing this."

Wang Shiyong is a native of Sichuan. He once engaged in market speculation and was known as "Sanchuan Yalang". Now, people in Kyoto call him a "traitor".

Wang Shiyong ordered the relevant departments to sell all the treasures from the Longde and Ningde Palaces, as well as Lingmarsh fish and lotus roots, in the name of paying for the officials.

Ma Shen, the imperial censor, severely criticized: "In ancient times, ministers went to the country and did not return for three years, and then collected their fields. Now the two emperors are exposed in the countryside, and their actions are undecided. You dare to take possessions from the two palaces, which is a very unfaithful thing." After Ma Shen argued hard, the matter was stopped.

Wu Kai and Mo Chou are known as the "Jiji Ghost King". Because in order to achieve the goal of the Jin people, the two of them shuttled back and forth between the Jin army and the capital, day and night. Zong Han and Zong Wang called him "a troubled official". The people in Kyoto called him "traitor Wu Ya".

On the second day after he ascended the throne, Zhang Bangchang hurriedly sent Shao Pu as an envoy to the Jin Army in the South Village of Qingcheng, and Bao Zhen as an envoy to the Jin Army in the North Village of Liujiasi, asking for permission to go to the army in person to express his gratitude.

As soon as the second envoy arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the Jin people. The Jin people only took away the letter written by Zhang Bangchang to the second commander.

Soon, the Jin people came to the city gate to convey the second commander's reply: "The emperor does not need to go out of the city to govern the people well. If you want to meet me, please come and invite me."

On March , Zong Han and Zong Wang sent Gao Qingyi and Li Shiqian to the city as congratulatory envoys to send a congratulatory letter to Zhang Bangchang. At the same time, Zhang Bangchang was also given pieces of clothing and four horses as congratulatory gifts. Zhang Bangchang was a little flattered, and immediately held a banquet in the palace to entertain the two golden envoys.

On this day, the Jin people divided their troops and marched towards Jeju. When the Jin army arrived at Berlin Town, only a hundred miles away from Jeju, Marshal Kang Wang received the news. King Kang ordered Yang Weizhong, the commander of the capital, to send troops to fight. Yang Weizhong was a little unhappy and said: "If the major generals don't come out, the old man will be the first choice."

King Kang said calmly: "This Jin Army Ranger is waiting to see if our army is weak or weak."

Subsequently, King Kang ordered Yang Weizhong to urgently assemble the five armies, put them on night alert, and arrange them in battle formation on the river embankment outside the city, ready to fight at any time. At the same time, Zhang Jun, the commander of the Chinese army, was ordered to lead his troops as suspected soldiers, preparing to lure the enemy deeper.

However, that night, for some unknown reason, the Jin army suddenly retreated.

On the same day, a group of Jin troops invaded Xingren Mansion from Wanting. Huang Qianshan, who was guarding Xingren Mansion, sent commander Zhang Huan to lead his troops out of the city to occupy favorable terrain and face the enemy head-on. At the same time, Ding Shun and Meng Shining were sent to lead their troops into two wings, setting up an ambush outside the city. After the battle started, the Song army fired fiercely. An arrow hit the head of the golden man's flag, and Mr. Longhulang fell from his horse. Jin Jun suddenly panicked and quickly carried the injured Lang Jun and fled in panic.

At the foot of Puzhou City, Jingdong's transfer judge Zhilong Tuge, Lu Qiu Sheng, led the militiamen he had recruited out of the city to meet the enemy, each killing and injuring them. At five o'clock in the night, the Jin people pulled out the stronghold and retreated.

Another Jin army attacked Kaide Mansion from Weinan. The Jin Army cavalry lined up outside the moat embankment, arrogantly. Zongze, who was guarding Kaide Mansion, ordered the commander Kong Yanwei to lead his troops to set up camp by the moat, and the two armies shot across the river. Later, Quan Bangyan, the governor of Jizhou, led the Jizhou soldiers to support them, and they worked together with Kong Yanwei's troops to cover the attack. At three o'clock in the evening, the Jin people also retreated.

On March th, the Qinwang soldiers led by Fan Zhixu, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Province, were defeated by the Jin soldiers' cavalry in Qianqiu Town.

After Fan Zhixu led his army out of Wuguan, they moved around Mianchi and settled in Qianqiu Town. Puppet Henan Yin Gao Shiyou was in Luoyang and asked Zong Han for help one after another.

Fan Zhixu judged that the Jin people would mobilize troops from the capital and it would take some time to return. Unexpectedly, the main force of three thousand cavalry led by Lou Shi personally rushed directly from Yiyang to Qianqiu Town. King Qin's team was unprepared for battle, and the result was that they "abandoned their baggage and ran away, and most of them were killed or injured."

The soldiers and horses of Shaanxi's Qinwang, known as an army of , were so vulnerable that they collapsed. Only the troops led by Zhang Shen and Liu Guangshi, the commanders of Yanyan, were not defeated. They turned to Ruzhou and headed to Songzhou on the East Jing Road.

At this time, Sun Zhaoyuan, the deputy general manager of the West Road, Wang Si, the envoy of Huanqing Jinglue, and Wang Yi, the envoy of Xihe Jinglue, all stayed in Shaanfu. Fan Zhixu finally packed up the remaining troops and had to retreat to Tongguan.

The orders issued by Wang Shiyong and others to Zhang Bangchang were all written in the name of imperial edict. Lu Haowen, the former Minister of War, did not understand this. On March , he questioned Zhang Bangchang face to face: "My husband really wants to establish evil and suppress hostility, but Xu did it."

Zhang Bangchang asked in surprise: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Haowen was very rude and said bluntly: "Xiang Gong knows that the Chinese people are very afraid of the power of the Jurchen soldiers. Now that the Jurchens are gone, it is only God's will to keep the Generalissimo outside and the Empress Dowager Yuanyou inside." Urgent return to power can turn misfortunes into blessings. In addition, where the non-human ministers in the province are located, it is better to live in straight palaces and huts, without ordering the guards to be knights. The enemy's robes and belts are left by non-combatants, so do not surrender. The chariots have not been returned. , the document issued should not be called an imperial edict."

Zhang Bangchang seemed to have realized something, and nodded repeatedly, and then issued an edict: "It is a small thing to force a powerful country to be close to save the people from the fire of war, but the princes are pushing and pushing, not allowing themselves to commit suicide, and willing to die to manage national affairs. How can it be so?" From now on, Xin Zai has negotiated with the three provinces and the Privy Council on punishments, and accepted the decree in internal and external lawsuits, which is called the facial decree; the internal surrender and approval of the text are called the central decree; and the officials who are dispatched to deliver the edicts are called the declared decree."

On this day, the Jin man suddenly sent another document to Kaifeng Mansion and continued to ask for gold and silver. The book blamed Kaifeng Prefecture for saying that the amount of gold and silver paid was less than one-tenth of the original agreed amount. Kaifeng Prefecture is required to allocate the funds according to the number of households in the capital, and the payment is limited to three days. If anyone refuses to obey, his whole family will be taken to the front of the army.

At the beginning of the fall of the city, the Jin people asked for their household registration number in Beijing. Kaifeng Prefecture made a big deal about it and exaggerated it, reporting seven million households. Zong Han also asked Li Ruoshui about this, and Li Ruoshui "also responded in this way."

The Jin people thought that it was very disproportionate that there were so many people with registered residence in the capital, but the amount of gold and silver paid was so small. The Jin people were unwilling to give up and asked the Kaifeng Prefecture to share the shortfall among seven million households. If this is accomplished, the gains will be immeasurable.
