Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

The butterfly effect in history is often caused by one or two seemingly insignificant people. At this time, Zhang Jue was the butterfly flapping its wings between the Song and Jin Dynasties.

When he heard that the Jin Kingdom sent troops to conquer Pingzhou, he immediately raised troops to fight against him. However, he was defeated by Wanyan Mu in Runzhou and pursued him as far as Yuguan.Later, Wanyan's mother defeated Zhang Jue again outside Yingzhou City, but because she had few soldiers, she wrote four big characters in handwriting on the gate of the camp: "Come back this winter" and then withdrew her troops.

Only then did Zhang Jue feel scared, and he quickly sent a letter to Wang Anzhong. The book said: "The Jin captives relied on the strength of tigers and wolves to drive away the rich and wealthy families in Yanjing, leaving the empty city behind to seal the alliance. In memory of the great dynasty, there is no choice. Already. The remaining people are in charge of the false roads, and the voices of injustice and anguish fill the roads. The people of the state cannot bear it, and they are ordered to resist the thieves in order to save lives, restore the country of their parents, and prepare for the defense of the great dynasty. Send his people across the border.”

Wang Anzhong was overjoyed to receive Zhang Jue's letter. While reporting back to Emperor Huizong, he was very busy gathering the people of Yanjing.Moreover, in August, Wanyan Aguda, Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, died of illness on his way back from the Liao campaign. His younger brother, Wanyan Wu, begged to succeed him and was known as Taizong of the Jin Dynasty in history.Being unable to take care of Zhang Jue's rebellion for a while, he thought that he could be safe from now on.

Who would have thought that Jin Taizong quickly stabilized the government and sent Wanyan Mu to attack Pingzhou again. Zhang Jue led his troops to attack, but he did not want to lose two battles in a row.Fortunately, Wanyan Jianmu's Jin army was defeated at Men'er Mountain. Zhang Jue then reorganized his troops and pursued them all the way. Wanyan Jianmu's troops did not dare to fight anymore, so they retreated in defeat.

After winning the battle, Zhang Jue immediately compiled a book to report the great victory in Yingzhou. Emperor Huizong was overjoyed after hearing the news. He established Pingzhou as the Taining Army and appointed Zhang Jue as the military governor of Taining Army. The Xuanfu Division of Yanjing rewarded the soldiers and civilians of Pingzhou with numerous rewards. Thousands of silver silk.At this point, Zhang Jue, the traitor general, reached the pinnacle of his glorious life.

But after the peak, it quickly fell to the bottom.Just when Emperor Huizong's edict arrived, Jin Taiwan had already sent General Wanyan Zongwang to punish Wanyan Yanmu for his defeat, and took over his military power. He raised an army of [-] and quietly came to the vicinity of Pingzhou.At this time, Emperor Huizong's reward arrived, and Zhang Jue led his troops to greet him. However, Wanyan Zongwang found out, so he raised troops to intercept and defeated Zhang Jue outside Pingzhou City.In the end, Zhang Jue, the Jiedushi who had not yet warmed up, had no choice but to flee to Yanjing and hide. During his escape, he lost the edict of Emperor Huizong, and it was this edict that provided the basis for the later The Jingkang Incident left a foreshadowing.

After Zhang Jue fled, Wanyan Zongwang sent people with Jin Taizong's edict to persuade the general of Pingzhou to surrender. However, when collecting the ordnance in the city, the soldiers and people of Pingzhou suddenly attacked, killed the general, closed the city gates, and refused to defend the city to death.

At this time, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty summoned Wanyan Zongwang back to the capital, reinstated Wanyan's mother, and ordered her to lead the army to attack Pingzhou. However, the soldiers and civilians in the city resisted desperately, and the battle lasted for several months. In the end, Pingzhou was defeated, and only the soldiers and civilians defending the city were left. Thousands escaped.

In the fifth year of Xuanhe, Wanyan Zongwang of the Jin Kingdom finished handling the affairs in the country, returned to the front line again, and commanded the entire army. The army took Yingzhou again, and sent [-] troops to Yanjing City.An envoy was sent into the city to ask for Zhang Jue. Lieutenant Wang An hid Zhang Jue in his armory and told the envoy that Zhang Jue had never been here.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't believe it, so he sent people into the city again and stated that if Zhang Jue was not sacrificed, he would attack Yanjing.In desperation, Wang Anzhong found a man who looked similar to Zhang Jue in the city, beheaded him and sent it to Wanyan Zongwang.However, there were Zhang Jue's old troops in Wanyan Zongwang's army, and they recognized that the head was not Zhang Jue's, so they exposed the matter.Wanyan Zongwang was furious, so he raised his troops and beat drums to attack the city.Wang An was frightened, so at the behest of Emperor Huizong, Zhang Jue was tied up, beheaded and handed over to the Jin soldiers. Wanyan Zongwang then withdrew his troops.

Zhang Jue probably never thought that the Song Dynasty was so weak and could not even protect himself, so before he died, he cursed the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers for their injustice.The generals of the Changsheng Army who were also surrendered by the Liao Kingdom burst into tears. Guo Yaoshi, the governor of the Wutai Army, said to his generals of the Changsheng Army: "What if the Jin people come to ask for me?" , the ever-victorious army, starting from Guo Yaoshi and below, became disorganized and slack, and was no longer as brave as it was at that time.

Zhang Jue's Rebellion seems to be just a dispute between the rebel generals of the Liao Kingdom, but it has a profound connotation.For the Song Dynasty, it was inappropriate for the monarchs and ministers to only care about immediate interests, not keep the promise of the covenant, and privately accept the traitorous generals of the Jin Kingdom.When the Jin Kingdom came to force Zhang Jue, it was an unjust act to fear the Jin people like tigers and not be able to save his life.After this incident, all the Liao generals were in danger and no longer trusted the Song Dynasty. Therefore, during the Jingkang Incident, Guo Yaoshi surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield and led the Jin army to attack Bianjing.

The Jin State used Zhang Jue's incident to explore the true nature of the Song Dynasty, not because they thought Zhang Jue was very important, but because they wanted to show their tough attitude to the Song Dynasty.The weak performance of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers made everyone in the Jin Kingdom understand that the Song Dynasty today is just a weak but weak, only a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.What's more, Zhang Jue's death can divide Liao's surrendered generals, achieving numerous goals with one fell swoop.

From then on, the Kingdom of Jin no longer paid attention to the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Zongwang came to Yanjing City and did not attack. However, because Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty still existed at this time and Xixia's troubles were not resolved, it would be unreasonable to start a war with Song Dynasty again. wisdom.But at this time, a gap had arisen between the Song and Jin countries, and a war between the two parties was inevitable.

Wanyan Zongwang brought Zhang Jue's head back to the Kingdom of Jin. Jin Taizong was overjoyed. He seemed to have seen the hope of taking over the Central Plains from this incident, but he also knew very well that this was not a good opportunity to use troops, so he continued to have diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty. good.Even after the Song Dynasty seized the Shuo and Wu states that were originally ceded to Xixia by the Jin Kingdom, they did not react and instead mediated.

Taking advantage of the peace with the Song Dynasty, Jin Taizong accepted Xixia's request to become a vassal and pay tribute in order to seek peace, and at the same time he continued to raise troops to attack the remaining forces of the Liao Kingdom.Finally in the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Liao army was defeated in Yingzhou and Emperor Tianzuo of Liao was captured.After Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty was escorted back to the Jin Kingdom and went to Beijing, he was demoted to the Seaside King by Jin Taizong. At this point, the Liao Kingdom, which had existed for more than [-] years, was completely destroyed.

At this time, the Jin Kingdom in the north had grown into a behemoth with strong soldiers and horses, and was almost invincible through successive annexations.But the plundering and killing wildness flowing in the Jurchens' bloodline is also more prominent.

Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai is completely different from his brother Jin Taizong Wanyan Aguda.Wanyan Aguda was the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom. The founding emperors in history all seemed to have a common characteristic. They were powerful but full of magnificence, and fierce but still maintained their humanity.They kill, but they do not kill indiscriminately; they plunder, but they do not cause anyone to hate them.Because there is more or less sunshine in their hearts, and their spirit is more unyielding to oppression. They are resisters, dreamers, and builders.And their successors were often quite different.This point was even more prominent in the Kingdom of Jin. After Wanyan Aguda died, Wanyan Wu begged to buy his successor. At this time, although the Jin people were victorious in the battle against Liao, they also became more cruel, vicious and greedy.

In his eyes, he did not think that the Liao State's careful management of the land of Yanyun was of any benefit, so he ordered the surrenders of the Liao State and the residents of Yanland to move to the northeast and live under the nose of the Jurchens' hometown.It is believed that this can quickly concentrate wealth and create a prosperous Jurchen country in the remote Northeast without changing over time.And as all the Liao people moved in, only the land of Yanyun was left deserted.

Faced with this situation, the Jin Kingdom finally thought of their good neighbor, the Song Dynasty.While Huizong's monarchs and ministers were still immersed in the happiness of the past few years, they didn't expect that someone had already cast their greedy eyes over them.
