Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Emperor Gaozong fled with Wang Yuan, Kang Lu and others all the way to Yangtze Bridge before stopping to rest. There were righteous men among the personal guards following him. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, he angrily said to others: "After going through all the dynasties, I still have the same problem. I saw an official who ran for his life regardless of the people."

Emperor Gaozong heard this and stood up and angrily said: "Although I am in a state of embarrassment, I am still the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. How dare a traitor insult me?" After saying this, he took out his sword from his waist and struck the guard in the chest with it. Stabbed him to death through his armor.

As the ministers, soldiers and civilians fled to the river, the scene suddenly became chaotic.At that time, the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou hated Huang Qianshan to the core. Huang E, the minister of agricultural affairs, fled to the river. Someone shouted: "Huang Xianggong is here!" The surrounding soldiers and civilians did not recognize him and thought it was Huang Qianshan.Immediately several people cursed: "It's all your fault for harming the country and harming the people." Just as Huang E was about to open his mouth to defend himself that he was not Huang Qian's good deeds, an angry sergeant rushed forward and beheaded him with a knife.In the chaos of the army, mobs broke out everywhere. Shaoqing Shi Hui and Prime Minister Fan Hao followed, and they all died like Huang E.Huang Zhefang, who was also serving as an attendant during the incident, fled on foot, but was shot four times by a knight from behind.Huang Tangjun, the young minister of Honglu, crossed the river and drowned. Li Chudu, the official who advised him, was killed by the rebels. Zhu Duanyou, the young minister of the Taifu, and Zhang Hao, the supervisory censor, did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Lu Yihao and Zhang Jun escaped from Yangzhou and chased Emperor Gaozong non-stop to Guazhou Town.After finally finding a small boat, the emperor and his ministers took the boat across the river but still did not dare to stop. They fled to Jingkou before resting for a while.

At this time, Emperor Gaozong was sitting in front of the Shuidi Temple, with a gloomy face and said nothing. He took the sword from his waist, wiped off the blood stains left by his murder on the soles of his boots, and then raised his eyes.Except for a few people around him, none of the officials are here, and no one from the imperial guards is here.This situation made Emperor Gaozong sigh inwardly, wondering if his father and brother would have been as embarrassed as he was if they had left Bianjing early.

On the night Emperor Gaozong fled Yangzhou, the Jin general Matu rode to Yangzhou with [-] horses. At this time, Yangzhou defender Youwendian Xiuzhu Huang Yuan had fled, and the people of Yangzhou prepared fragrant flowers to welcome the Jin army as they entered the city.

When they came to the city, Matu asked Emperor Gaozong where he was, and everyone said: "Cross the river." Matu quickly raised his troops to pursue him. When he arrived at Guazhou, the river was empty, and there was not even half a person there. In desperation, he had to move the crowd into the river. The people on the riverside gave chase and killed him, then withdrew his troops and garrisoned them in Yangzhou.

Then Ba Lisu's army arrived and stationed troops under Zhaixing Tower. On the one hand, he ordered the Jin soldiers to rob property and women in Yangzhou City, and on the other hand, they went to the canal to salvage the boats that were stuck in the mud.

It turned out that when the Jin army was approaching the Tianchang army, the city heard the news that all the officials and wealthy businessmen, whether public or private, were transporting their property by ship.At one time, within fifty miles of the canal from Yangzhou to Guazhou, there were only one boat and sampans connected to each other.He also heard that all the emperor's officials had fled, and the soldiers and civilians were even more panicked. They robbed boats one after another, intending to cross the Yangtze River and escape south.Unexpectedly, there were too many boats on the canal and the water was shallow and difficult to navigate. They were all stuck in the mud and unable to move.Therefore, when the Jin soldiers came, all the supplies on the ship were suppressed by the Jin soldiers. The public servants obeyed the emperor, and not a single official document was left.

Emperor Gaozong and his subjects fled south, handing over the prosperous land of Yangzhou to the Jin army. Because they failed to capture Emperor Gaozong, the Jin army vented all their unhappiness on more than [-] people in Jiangbei.For a time, the Jin soldiers burned, killed, looted, raped and looted all over Yangzhou. The people had no hope of escape and either drowned themselves in the river or became the dead souls of the Jin soldiers.The gold, silk, pearls and jade looted by the Jin soldiers accumulated on the river banks like mountains.

Emperor Gaozong fled to Zhenjiang. After calming down for a while, other ministers also arrived one after another. After retreating from the court that day, Emperor Gaozong summoned his ministers and generals to the residence hall to discuss matters.

Seeing everyone coming, Emperor Gaozong said, "If you stay here, are you going to Zhejiang Province?" Liu Guangshi, the envoy of the National Army and the inspection envoy of the capital, burst into tears when he heard this.Emperor Gaozong didn't know what he meant, so he asked him why he was crying.

Liu Guangshi replied: "Wang Yuan, the commander of the capital, is in charge of rivers and ships. He will help ferry people as soon as possible without delay. Now the armies are blocking the way. I have tens of thousands of people and more than [-] cavalry, but they can't help. How can I help myself?" !”

It turned out that Wang Yuan made friends with his chamberlain Kang Lu, so he rose through the ranks and gained countless people's wealth and wealth.When they heard that the Jin army was coming, they secretly used warships to transport their belongings. Instead, they left all the troops in the north of the Yangtze River. As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were unable to cross the river and were completely annihilated by the pursuing Jin army.That's why Liu Guangshi said this.

When Huang Qianshan heard what he said about Wang Yuan, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he said: "Hundreds of boats have been gathered to cross the army."

After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong did not distinguish the truth from the false, and said: "Now that all the armies have been dealt with, there is no need to say more. Today we only discuss whether to stay or leave."

At this time, Lu Yihao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had already seen clearly that Emperor Gaozong's true intention was to flee southward. However, due to his identity, he was unable to speak out. He just wanted to tell the officials that he would continue to flee southward.But that day in Yangzhou, he and Zhang Jun fled regardless of the people. Thinking about it now, they are still ashamed, so they knelt down at the steps and bowed down.

Emperor Gaozong didn't know what he meant, so he looked at Huang Qianshan.Huang Qianshan understood and asked Lu Yihao what he meant by kneeling.

Lu Yihao knocked his head on the ground and said: "Lu is willing to stay here and support Jiangbei; otherwise, the Jin people will take advantage of the momentum to cross the river and become even more embarrassed."

As soon as this statement came out, Emperor Gaozong got what he wanted, and he took advantage of the situation and said: "In that case, Prime Minister Tong will go to the river to conduct a strategy, order the armies in the north of the Yangtze River, and order Chen to defend the river, and still ferry the officials and the people first." After the officials got the order, Exit each.

When he came out of the hall, Wang Yuan hated Liu Guangshi for reading his book in front of the emperor, but he did not dare to do anything to him, so he had to kill his subordinate Huang Fuzuo, the inspector of the Jiangbei capital.When Emperor Gaozong found out, Wang Yuan had already killed Huangfu Zuo and asked why.Wang Yuan used the excuse that Huangfu Zuo "assisted the captain of the sea boat and was stranded on the ferry, so he killed him".

Then Wang Yuan added: "Stay temporarily in Zhenjiang, and we can only defend one place. If Jin crosses the river from Tongzhou and takes control of Gusu first, what will happen? It is not as good as Qiantang, which is blocked by the river." After hearing this, the servant nodded and said Yes, so Emperor Gaozong also wanted to belong to Qiantang.

The next day, Emperor Gaozong summoned Huang Qianshan and listened to Wang Yuan's words and asked for his opinions.Huang Qianshan knew that he was about to flee south, so he said: "Yuan said this, what can I say to keep your majesty?" Emperor Gaozong thought it was a great good thing, so he followed Wang Yuan's words and sent Wang Yuan from Zhenjiang to Hangzhou, so that Wang Yuan stayed in Gusu. Zhu Shengfei was left to guard Zhenjiang, and Qian Boyan, a direct bachelor of Longtuge and Zhenjiang Prefecture, was appointed as a direct bachelor of the Privy Council. He was lucky enough to provide some money and food for the inspection.Lu Yihao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was a bachelor of Zizhengdian and envoy of Jianghuai system.Liu Guangshi, the capital inspection envoy, was the capital commander in front of the palace. He was stationed in Zhenjiang Prefecture to control the mouth of the river.Yang Weizhong, the commander of the horse army, controlled the Jiangdong army and horses and stationed himself in Jiangning Mansion.

After everything was arranged, Emperor Gaozong immediately set off from Zhenjiang to Changzhou, Pingjiangfu, Xiuzhou and other places, and finally fled to Hangzhou.

When Emperor Gaozong fled south, in addition to the raging Jin army, rebels were rampant throughout the south of the Yangtze River.For example, Wang, the commander of the imperial camp, also garrisoned Jiangning and planned to seize Jiangning as a stronghold. He set fire to it in the middle of the night, which frightened the secret palace guard Zhao Mingcheng who built the city and fled.Fortunately, the deputy envoy to Jiangdong in the city and the militiamen of Li Mo's regiment in Zhihui Youge were lying in wait in the alley. When the mutiny happened, they came out with a loud noise and repulsed Wang Yi.Zhao Mingcheng was dismissed from his post for deserting from battle.

This Zhao Mingcheng is the husband of the poet Li Qingzhao.On that day, Li Qingzhao heard in the city that Zhao Mingcheng had fled, and was greatly disappointed. Later, he and Zhao Mingcheng sailed to Wuhu, and passed by the place where the overlord of Chu in Wujiangxi committed suicide. He wrote "Summer Quatrains" in memory of Xiang Yu, which was actually intended to ridicule the ruler and her husband.This is the famous line that has been passed down to this day:

Live as a hero, and die as a ghost.So far, I miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
