One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 419 Jingkang Difficulty (36)

However, the Jin people negotiated and marched at the same time. Starting from August, the two armies quickly moved southward without any intention of stopping. Tang Ke felt that the situation was not optimistic and reminded Song Qinzong many times: "The Jin people will definitely come this winter."

If you can't fight and you can't reach an agreement, the only correct choice is to go ahead with the Thirty-six Strategies.

Tang Ke then secretly reported to Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, urging him to avoid the enemy's edge and leave Tokyo as soon as possible for Luoyang or Chang'an to summon the troops from all over the world to fight the Jin people. He said: "Those who have been repeatedly lost and revived since Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty can call on all directions with the emperor as the outside."

Tang Ke even considered that the troops in the capital might be nostalgic for their homeland and family members, and might not necessarily be willing to escort the emperor out of the capital, so he suggested that he quickly summon the four generals to lead the troops to escort him. Song Qinzong felt that Tang Ke's words were reasonable at first and accepted his suggestion.

Soon, He Li from Kaifeng Prefecture came to report. Song Qinzong told He Li about Tang Ke's suggestion. When He Li heard it, he firmly objected: "Even when the Zhou family moved eastward, Tang Ke's suggestion was not as excessive as Tang Ke's suggestion. It is like an unworthy son trying to take away the land and house left by his father and ancestors." They all sell the same.”

The chamberlains around Song Qinzong also did not agree with Tang Ke's suggestion and were unwilling to leave Tokyo. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty saw that everyone was opposed to leaving the capital, so he "changed his policy without hesitation".

On November , when Tang Ke once again urged Song Qinzong to leave the capital, Song Qinzong was very angry. He stamped his feet on the ground and said, "I will defend the country to the end."

At this time, Hu Shunzhi, the imperial censor, took the opportunity to impeach Tang Ke and Nie Chang. Hu Shunzhi said that Tang Ke was short-sighted and could not deal with side issues. "Now that the country is declining, it is impossible to prepare for the throne." He also said that if the imperial court continued to retain the two traitors Tang Ke and Nie Chang, "all political affairs would not be repaired, and the authority would be ruined." It’s not surprising that the punishment is sluggish, there are no talents available, and the soldiers are unwilling to use their lives.”

At this time, the soldiers and civilians in the capital also generally believed that Tang Ke was a common official, cowardly and incompetent, and everyone wanted to find an opportunity to beat him.

That night, Tang Ke went out in a sedan chair and was discovered by the people. People threw bricks and tiles at him and broke his lantern. Under the protection of the guards, he was able to escape on horseback. After returning home, he immediately submitted a letter requesting to resign.

Song Qinzong felt that Tang Ke had lost his popularity and was not suitable to continue to serve as prime minister, so he removed him from the post of Shao Prime Minister and made him a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, an envoy to Zhongtai Palace, and a minister.

After Tang Ke resigned as prime minister, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty appointed He Li as his servant Lin. This position had been held by Geng Nanzhong before. Now, after the readjustment by Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, the ruling ministers of the imperial court are: Lin Heli, the minister of the family, Sun Fu, the minister of the Privy Council of Tongzhi, Chen Guoting, the minister of Zhongshu, Li Hui, the right minister of the Shangshu, and Cao Fu, the minister of the Privy Council. Shangshu Zuocheng Feng Shu was left in the army by Zong Han together with Li Ruoshui.

As the military director, Sun Fu worked hard every day on how to defeat the enemy. On November , he opened the poem and tried to get inspiration from it. The volume of poems he opened was a poem by Qiu Jun during the Renzong period of the Song Dynasty. One of the lines, "Guo Jing, Yang Shi, and Liu Wuji are all lying on the white clouds in the southeast" caught his attention. Because he had met a man named Guo Jing. Wang Zonglio once strongly recommended this person to the imperial court, saying that this person had extraordinary talents and could capture the second commander of the Jin army alive and wipe out all the Jin soldiers. However, this person was denied by Tang Ke. Now that Tang Ke has resigned as prime minister and He Li has returned to the court, why not listen to He Li's views on this person?

After hearing Sun Fu's introduction, He Li knew that what Guo Jing was talking about was the Qimen Dunjia technique. He believed that the imperial court should actively encourage and strongly support anyone who is willing to take up arms and fight the Jin people now that they are facing a formidable enemy. Therefore, He Li, Sun Fu and other ruling ministers studied and decided to allocate tens of thousands of money and silk to Guo Jing, allowing him to recruit troops from the society on his own.

Guo Jing was promoted from a deputy head of the capital to the governor of Yanzhou, a military officer, and was in charge of the main soldiers of Liujia. Guo Jing used Tianqing Temple as his military headquarters and recruited troops here with great fanfare. A large flag is erected at the entrance of Tianqing Temple, with four eye-catching characters "Liujia Zhengbing" written on the flag.

On the same day, Hu Shunzhi, the imperial censor, made another report. This time it was not to impeach a minister, but to suggest that Song Qinzong move the capital as soon as possible. Hu Shunzhi impeached Tang Ke and thought that Tang Ke was short-sighted and short-sighted. However, his suggestion coincided with Tang Ke's. After hearing this, Song Qinzong ordered Hu Shunzhi to make a detailed analysis of the capital move.

After reading Hu Shunzhi's analysis, Sun Zhan, a member of Zhongshushe, believed that although he was sincere in loving the emperor and being loyal to the country, his words did not convey his intention and were not enough to impress Xie Shengcong.

Therefore, Sun Zhan rewrote another memorial: "This spring, tens of thousands of people from the outside world came to the army. Your Majesty's ministers in the border areas, officials in the prefectures and counties, and soldiers guarding the rivers fled in the wind, and no one showed their loyalty. With those who resisted, they went to the capital, as if they were in an uninhabited country. After the defeat of the robbery camp, the entire army was wiped out, and the general Yao Pingzhong escaped on a horse. At the beginning, the Jin people did not expect that China was so big, but the military was only limited to This is also true.

Now I heard that the whole country will not only come from Hebei, but also Nianhan from Hedong. According to the officials, the number of soldiers and horses will be several times that of the day before. His Majesty's veteran general, Ru Zhong Shi Dao, had died of illness. Zhong Shi Zhong was threatened by Xu Han to supervise the battle on the charge of staying. Unable to bear the humiliation, he went to the enemy and died. After relieving the siege of Taiyuan, Li Gangton sent troops to Huaizhou, which was more than a thousand miles away. He could not save him and was already trapped. Li Mi made a bold move to establish his authority by killing Zhang Sizheng, the commander of the victorious army. He then caused an army to turn against him and dispersed as bandits, causing commotion in Shandong and Huainan.

I was in charge of the Bachelor's College and was ordered to write a blessing book and pray to the river god, hoping that the river would not freeze in March in winter. Someone came up with a plan to unite hundreds of boats and set them on fire in the river. It was child's play. However, Guo Jing presented the Liujia Dharma to deceive the imperial court, which was particularly monstrous. I once happened to meet Guo Jing in the capital hall. I asked Guo Jing: "There are more than a dozen people from the Academy of Sciences, the Zhongshu Province, and the Back Street Department, and they have all signed up to join the Liujia Army. They are all children from the market, how can they fight? "

Guo Jing said: "They don't need to fight, as long as they pick up the gold heads." The minister asked again: "Then, who will kill the gold men and let them pick up the gold heads?"

Guo Jing didn't answer, looking angry. At that time, Hanlin bachelors Wu Kai, Gai Shizhong Anfu, and Zhongshu Sheren Li Zeng and Li Zhao were all sitting there. When they heard this, they all looked at each other and sighed.

But now, the ministers in power thought that the attendants were arbitrarily planning to defeat the army, so they all arranged to go to the city and guard the four walls. At present, there is a powerful enemy. If the court takes such measures to prepare for the enemy, the consequences are really difficult to predict. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to suggest that Shun and Zhi move the capital.

For example, there is a son of a rich man. When he hears that a thief has entered the country, he immediately picks up his wife with his left hand and his son with his right hand, and quickly leaves home to avoid the thief. To avoid hasty changes, you can no longer care about your family situation.

Today, the Jin people are coming with the force of a tiger and wolf army that can win a hundred battles. When you advance, no one is guarding you, and when you retreat, no one is watching behind you. If you want to pray to the gods and ghosts, believe in demons, and have the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles sit upright on the ninth floor, waiting for the Jin people to come, this is really dangerous. If, as the Jin envoy Wang Ru said, the two armies arrive outside the city and burn the state The county is completely empty within five hundred miles, and the lonely city remains alone. How can it be a country?

I hope your majesty will judge him and make a decisive decision. The power of the Jin people is so strong, but the court's preparations to defend against enemies are so weak. I hope that Your Majesty will accept Shunzhi's proposal to move the capital, and will not be afraid of ten days' hard work to move to another capital in order to have a complete strategy, and then the world will be very lucky."
