The situation in the Central Plains has changed rapidly during this year, and one power game after another has been constantly staged, making the people in the game feel breathless, and also making the people watching the show in Huining City in the north feel The monarchs and ministers of the Jin Dynasty were a bit unable to react.
At the beginning of the year, the Jin Dynasty was still studying the map of the world situation in the early days of the Song Dynasty. At that time, they felt that they could create a situation that existed before the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty, that is, pushing the Song-Jin border in the direction of Hedong. South of Taiyuan Prefecture. If it is not convenient to directly govern Taiyuan, we can support a puppet regime. Maybe Guo Pharmacist can be the king of Taiyuan...
Not long after, they received an urgent document from Medicine Master Guo, saying that they encountered an army led by the Marshal of the Song Dynasty, King Yun Zhao Kai, in Daming Mansion in Hebei Province! Although Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong fought hard for several days, they were still unable to defeat the overwhelming number of Song soldiers. As a result, Liu Yanzong died and Guo Yaoshi was defeated and fled Cangzhou!
This shocked everyone in the Jin Dynasty - because as soon as Guo Yaoshi was defeated, Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army "lost contact", and no one knew what happened!
So Wanyan Wu Qimai quickly asked Wanyan Gao, the marshal who was familiar with Banbo Jilie and the capital, to go to Yanjing and take command of Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army to rescue the East Route Army and organize the defense of Yanshan Prefecture.
And in the summer, even more terrifying news came to Huining from Wanyan Gao of Yanshan Mansion. Wanyan Zonghan's son She Yema was actually killed by the Marshal of the Song Dynasty, King Yun Zhao Kai, at Niangzi Pass!
Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan was unable to attack the Pingding Army and Taiyuan Prefecture for a long time. The division's veterans were exhausted and he had no choice but to withdraw from Hedong!
After receiving the news, the Huining court even issued an edict to "mobilize all the eight-pronged armies from Yanshan, Yunzhong, Shangjing, Tokyo, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Pingzhou, and Changchun and subordinate them to thousands of households" - this was the implementation of national general mobilization and preparations. Fight desperately with the Song army who counterattacked to Yanshan Mansion!
Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Great Jin Dynasty was also prepared for his personal expedition, and planned to lead his troops to the south after the autumn harvest.
But not long after, the situation suddenly took a dramatic turn!
The Eastern Route Army, which was originally thought to be besieged by the Song Dynasty's 800,000 forbidden troops, had been winning the battle. It also used the digging of the Yellow River dam as a threat, forcing the main force of the Song army to gather in Kaifeng Prefecture to fight under the Yellow River dam. Their extremely unfavorable offensive... was finally defeated. Even Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty who came out of the city to supervise the battle, was killed in this battle.
And Zhao Ji's death seemed to be the last straw that broke the Kaifeng Mansion. After four months of defense, the Kaifeng Mansion was abandoned on the day Zhao Ji was defeated and died!
The prince Zhao Huan who stayed behind in Kaifeng Prefecture fled overnight, and the officials and people in Kaifeng Prefecture also dispersed like birds and beasts!
What happened next made the Huining court even more incredible!
The Song Dynasty, which had just lost its official family and capital, actually split... The marshal Zhao Kai, who defeated Guo Yaoshi in Daming Prefecture and forced Yan Zonghan to retreat in Hedong, actually refused to accept his brother Zhao Huan and accepted it in Taiyuan Prefecture. Supported by his subordinates, he became an official!
And Prince Zhao Huan also ascended the throne in Yingtian Mansion and became an official!
It's so lively now, one Song Dynasty, two official families, two imperial courts... they themselves have to fight!
Isn't this situation similar to the several internal conflicts in the Liao Dynasty that occurred when the Jin Kingdom defeated the Liao Kingdom?
If there hadn't been those internal strife, Dajin wouldn't have wiped out the Liao Kingdom so quickly! Now it's better, the Song Dynasty did not learn the lesson of the Liao Kingdom's demise, and also started internal strife!
It seems that it won't take too long for Dajin to destroy the Song Dynasty just like the Liao Kingdom!
...
Da Jin went to Beijing and Huining Mansion.
Compared with Yanshan Mansion in Nanjing, which was piled with trophies from the southern invasion and crowded with slaves captured from the land of the Song Dynasty, Huining City, the real capital of the Jin Kingdom that was built not long ago, was only deserted and shabby. , no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the capital of a large empire with a vast territory, a large population, and a powerful military.
When Wanyan Aguda proclaimed himself the emperor's capital, this city couldn't even be called a "city" because there were no houses at all within a circle of earth walls, and even Emperor Aguda came to court in a felt tent. It was not until Aguda was in his later years that he ordered people to build a palace in Huining Mansion City - it was said to be a palace, but in fact it was a larger adobe house. In the Song Dynasty, any wealthy man could live in a better house than Aguda and Wu Qi bought.
Although there was nothing, Aguda and his successor Wu Qimai never thought of moving their capital to the more prosperous Liaoyang Prefecture or Yanshan Prefecture.
Perhaps in their view, only by letting Jurchen sons and daughters live forever in this cold land can they maintain their masculinity and train them into the bravest warriors in the world.
However, in the past few months, the inconveniences of Dingdu Ning have also become apparent. The Dajin court became a bystander in this southern expedition against the Song Dynasty...and it was also blinded and ill-informed, and had no way to unify the command of the eastern and western armies.
There is no way to act as a peacemaker among the East and West Route Armies—in fact, there are no East and West Route Armies now.
Because the East Route Army commanded by Wanyan Zongwang is now mainly active in Hebei, with Damingfu as the center, it continues to conquer cities and territories and expand the occupied area.
However, the West Route Army commanded by Wanyan Zonghan went to Jingdong Road, with Songzhou (original Yingtianfu) as the center, and continued to occupy the territory of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, looking at the map, there is a situation where the East Route Army is in the north and the West Route Army is in the south.
Moreover, these two groups of Jin soldiers seemed to have forgotten to attack the remnants of the Song Dynasty, which seemed to be about to end. Instead, they were busy grabbing money and territory... This made Wan Yan Wu Qi, the great Jin emperor who was ambitious for the world, I was a little depressed buying it.
What a great opportunity!
Should we strive to devour the two Song dynasties and unify the world?
Why do you only care about grabbing money and territory for yourself?
Wanyan Wu Qimai, who felt that his ambitions could not be realized, issued an edict in October of the fourth year of Tianhui, commanding marshal Wanyan Gao, deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan on the left, deputy marshal Wanyan Yanmu on the right, and Guo Yaoshi, who was left behind in Nanjing. , Xijing's left-behind brother Yelunuge and others all called to the freezing city of Huining - he had to ask: When will the Song Dynasty be over?
In a tall and spacious adobe hall, the fire was burning brightly, and it was as warm as summer. The Emperor of Jin Dynasty and several Bo Jilie were sitting in a dignified manner, and some other important officials of the Wanyan family also had high chairs... Only two descendants, Guo Yaoshi and Brother Yelunu, did not have chairs, so they had to sit down. Standing there properly, as if standing for punishment!
Oh, there is another person who does not have a chair and is standing with Yaoshi Guo and Brother Yelunu. This person is Zhao Gou!
It's okay for Yaoshi Guo and Brother Yelunu. Just stand for the punishment...as long as you don't lose your head!
Zhao Gou, on the other hand, was like a primary school student who was forced to stand for the first time by his teacher. He was scared and aggrieved... Tears came down. He was so sad!
Why him?
There are so many brothers and sisters, but everyone else has run away! Even if he was caught by the Wuzhang River, Zhao Huan had to spend money to redeem him... Why was he caught in the ice and snow of Huining City?
And that Qin Hui... He said it well when he was in Zhongshan Mansion. As long as he could be put back, Zhao Huan or Zhao Kai would definitely ask them to pay for it.
But now that Qin Hui has been put back for several months, why hasn't he received any money yet?
Is he going to die in an adobe house in Huining City? Thinking of this, Zhao Gou couldn't help crying...
Wanyan Wu Qimai, who was strong and ferocious and frightening to look at, heard the sound and followed the sound. He saw Zhao Gou crying over there, so he asked, "Who is that person?" Why cry?"
Well, he doesn’t even know who Zhao Gou is?
"Report to Your Majesty the Emperor," Medical Master Guo knew Jurchen dialect (he was from Tiezhou, and Huangtou Jurchen's hometown was next door), so he replied, "The person who is crying is Zhao Gou, King Kang of the Song Dynasty. He was captured by dogs in In Zhongshan Mansion.”
"Oh..." Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded, "Then he must have been crying because he thought of his father's death and the country's demise... He won't be punished!"
He thought for a while and then said: "Didn't it mean that several princes of the Zhao family were redeemed by Zhao Huan? Why did he come to Huining?"
If Zhao Gou understands the Jurchen dialect, he must ask!
The one who could reply was Yaoshi Guo - he was the one who brought Zhao Gou!
Pharmacist Guo said: "So that His Majesty the Emperor will know that when Zhao Huan spent money to redeem those princes of the Song Dynasty, he didn't know that Zhao Gou also let us arrest him."
Of course I don’t know!
Wanyan Zongwang didn't even know - Zongwang told Han Chang and Guo Anguo that he would let Zhao Gou go when he arrived at Zhongshan Mansion. Unexpectedly, a few days after Han Chang and Guo Anguo arrived at Zhongshan Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan also came.
Therefore, Han Chang and Guo Anguo could no longer decide whether to let Zhao Gou go. They had to ask Wanyan Zonghan... and Wanyan Zonghan was very angry because of his son's death! At that time, Zhao Gou was ordered to be killed. Fortunately, Wanyan Xiyin was more reasonable and asked Guo Yaoshi, Guo Anguo and his son to quickly escort Zhao Gou to Yanshan Mansion to take care of him.
Then Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Zhao Kai, Zhao Huan and others forgot about Zhao Gou.
As a result, Zhao Gou stayed at the home of Pharmacist Guo in Yanshan Prefecture for some time. Pharmacist Guo was ordered to go to Huining, so he took him with him... What if he didn't take him with him? Wanyan Zongwang was allowed to be released, Wanyan Zonghan was allowed to be killed, and Wanyan Xiyin was allowed to be taken care of. When will this matter end?
So Pharmacist Guo brought Zhao Gou to Huining Mansion, hoping to get Emperor Jin to make a decision.
When Wanyan Wu Qimai saw Zhao Gou crying sadly, he sympathized with him, so he said to Medicine Master Guo, "Ask him if he is willing to surrender to Dajin?"
Pharmacist Guo then asked Zhao Gou: "Kang Kang, the emperor asked you whether you would like to surrender or die?"
Wu Qimai did not say "die", but Medicine Master Guo was afraid of trouble and did not want to escort Zhao Gou back to the Southern Dynasty, so he threatened him.
"Surrender!" Zhao Gou was not willing to die, so he knelt down for Wu Qiubian on the spot, "Chen Gou is willing to surrender to Dajin, and I hope the Emperor of Dajin will spare my life!"
When Wu Qimai saw Zhao Gou's cowardice, he laughed: "Look, this is the prince of the Song Dynasty... With such a king, if we, the Jin Dynasty, do not destroy him, we may violate the law." God’s will!”
