Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

There was endless anger in Zhao Kuangyin's voice.

Chilling.

One can feel how much anger he has accumulated at this time.

It’s so hateful, Zhao Kuangyin really hates it so much!
These bastards have done so much evil!

How many beastly things have been done!
How many people have been let down!

So many loyal and righteous people, so many pillars of the country.

They were all let down by this cowardly praying mantis!
Veteran General Zong Ze kept calling for crossing the river until his death!
This kind of thing makes people feel extremely angry just by hearing about it.

How miserable these loyal and brave people must have felt when they died!
First there was Zhong Shidao, then there was Li Gang, and now there is Zong Ze... These three father and sons are all beasts!

They should all be cut into pieces!

Zhao Kuangyin was filled with resentment and frustration, as well as many complicated emotions.

At this moment, it is hard to express in words!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were also a little red.

Even if he had known these things for a long time, these things happened in the Song Dynasty, not his Ming Dynasty.

However, hearing this at this time, I am still very angry, it is really hard to accept.
After waiting for a while, Han Cheng saw that Zhao Kuangyin's emotions had calmed down a lot, so he continued to speak.

“But Zhao Gou didn’t feel too good either.

Military officers Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were dissatisfied with Wang Yuan and eunuch Kang Lu.

On March 5, the third year of Jianyan, he used the excuse that Wang Yuan was colluding with eunuchs to rebel.

When Wang Yuan retired from court, he was ambushed and killed.

Then he led his troops to the north gate of the palace and killed more than a hundred beardless men.

Zhao Gou was shocked when he heard the news of the rebellion. Accompanied by Zhu Shengfei and others, he went up to the city wall to meet the mutinous generals.

Miao Fu severely reprimanded Zhao Gou in person for trusting eunuchs and being unfair in rewards and punishments, and for not severely punishing Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan for harming the country.

Wang Yuan committed a series of crimes, including not fighting when encountering the enemy but being promoted because of the eunuchs.

He also proposed to execute the powerful eunuchs such as Kang Lu, Lan Gui, and Zeng Ze.

To thank the three armies.

He also requested that the throne be passed to the crown prince and that Empress Dowager Longyou be asked to rule the country from behind the scenes.

Zhao Gou was forced to hand over Kang Lu and others, and after discussing with Empress Dowager Longyou, he abdicated to avoid the spotlight.

Zhao Gou lived in Xianzhong Temple and was given the title of "Ruishengrenxiao Emperor".

The three-year-old prince Zhao Bing was placed on the throne.

Empress Dowager Longyou ruled the country from behind the scenes and changed the reign title to Mingshou.

After the news of the mutiny spread, Lu Yihao led his 10,000 troops from Jiangning Prefecture to support the king.

Liu Guangshi, Wang De and Han Shizhong successively led their troops to the meeting.

When Miao and Liu learned that Lu Yihao and his troops had arrived one after another, they began to panic.

In order to paralyze Miao and Liu, Zhao Gou deliberately issued an imperial edict to Han Shizhong.

Calls himself very safe.

Miao and Liu did not know it was a trick, and instead said, "Now we know that the Holy Emperor has such a mind."

As the reinforcements approached, Miao and Liu met with Zhao Gou on the evening of March 28.

Ask him to write a letter in person to ease the pressure on the foreign teacher.
Zhao Gou said that he was not in the position to do so and would not interfere in the affairs of others.

It is useless without the emperor's seal.

On April 1st, under the persuasion of Zhu Shengfei and others.

Miao and Liu agreed to let Zhao Gou restore the throne.

Zhao Gou granted the two men iron certificates of immunity.

Temporary appeasement.

On the third day of April, Han Shizhong's army defeated the mutinous army in Linping.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Miao and Liu led 2,000 soldiers to flee Hangzhou that night.

Lu Yihao led the troops to support the king into the city.

Zhao Gou held Han Shizhong's hand and cried, and instructed that the rebels be wiped out.

Han Shizhong sent troops to pursue the fleeing Miao and Liu troops.

After that, according to the merits, Lu Yihao was promoted to the position of right prime minister and commander of the Imperial Camp, and Liu Guangshi was promoted to the position of grand marshal and deputy commander of the Imperial Camp.

Han Shizhong was promoted to the military governor of Wusheng Army and served as the commander-in-chief of the left army of the Imperial Camp.

Zhang Jun was promoted to the military governor of Zhenxi Army and appointed commander-in-chief of the right army of the Imperial Camp.

On April 20th, Zhao Gou left Hangzhou.

On the eighth day of May, they arrived at Jiangning, the original destination of the southward migration.

The next day it was renamed Jiankang Prefecture and used as the temporary residence.

In mid-May, Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu were captured in Pucheng and Jianyang, Fujian respectively.

In July, he was taken to Jiankang and executed.

The Miao-Liu mutiny was thus completely quelled..."

“These two are such cowards!
Just kill Zhao Gou directly!
Just be in the back and do things well.

If they can fight well and resist the Jin people, I will not only not blame them, but will also look up to them!"

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhao Kuangyin felt it was extremely regrettable.

It is incredible that an emperor of a country, and the founding emperor at that, could say such words.

It can be seen how much he hated the bad things that Zhao Gou did!

"When Zhao Gou arrived in Jiankang Prefecture, he appointed Hong Hao as the envoy to the Jin Dynasty.

He brought gold to beg for peace, expressing his willingness to give up his title and to use the legitimate government to compare himself with the vassal ministers.

But in July of the third year of Jianyan, Zhao Gou learned that Wanyan Zongbing, also known as Jin Wushu, was leading three groups to march south.

So Zhao Gou sent two more groups of envoys, Cui Zong and Du Shiliang, to beg for peace with humble words.

The Jin people did not agree.

The heavy troops were concentrated on the Jianghuai line, with the ultimate goal of crossing the Yangtze River and capturing Zhao Gou alive.

On the 26th of the intercalary eighth month, after handing over the defense of the Yangtze River to Du Chong, Zhao Gou left Jiankang on the imperial boat.

On September 12, we landed in Yuezhou and stayed there.

In late November, the Jin army defeated the Song army at Majiadu.

Commander-in-chief Chen Cui died in battle, and thus they crossed the Yangtze River.

When Zhao Gou received the report, he accepted Lu Yihao's suggestion and fled to Mingzhou.

On December 15, the Jin army captured Lin'an. Zhao Gou took a sea boat and fled from Mingzhou to Dinghai County.

On the 19th, they crossed the sea to Changguo County.

Even under such circumstances, he still fantasized about making peace with the Jin people.

He ordered Vice-Minister Fan Zongyin and Chief Censor Zhao Ding to stay in Mingzhou to await the envoy from Jin.

Soon, the two received a letter from the Jin Dynasty, which contained nothing but a severe scolding of Zhao Gou.

Later, the Jin army captured Yuezhou and Mingzhou.

In the first month of the fourth year of Jianyan, he pursued Zhao Gou on the sea.

While the Jin army was pursuing the enemy, they encountered a heavy storm, and their ships were few and small.

They were repelled by the large ships of Zhang Gongyu, the Defense Commissioner of Hezhou of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Chief of the Privy Council, and were forced to retreat to Mingzhou.

Zhao Gou fled all the way to Taizhou and Wenzhou.

In addition, another group of Jin troops attacked Jiangxi in an attempt to capture Empress Dowager Longyou.

Empress Dowager Longyou fled to Qianzhou, and was later taken to Yuezhou by Zhao Gou..."

"Fuck that bastard! Such a bastard should just die!
Why didn’t the Jin people just destroy him directly?
It really is Wanyan Gou!! "

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but curse out loud as he listened to Han Cheng's story.

With immense anger.

He really wanted the Jin people to kill this bastard right away!
And I suddenly understood why Han Cheng said that people in later generations called him Wanyan Gou.

Judging from his actions, he was just like the grandson of the Jin people, always tolerant of the Jin people.

Just kowtow!

Even though others treated him like this, he still kept thinking about peace and not fighting.

How does he look like the emperor of the Song Dynasty?
He is the grandson of the Jin man!!

“Peace cannot be achieved by kneeling and kowtowing, and respect cannot be begged for.

You have to rely on your strength to win.

If you seek peace through war, then peace will survive; if you seek peace through compromise, then peace will die."

Han Cheng said with some emotion in his voice.

"If you seek peace through war, the peaceful village will survive. If you seek peace through compromise, peace will die?!"

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang were both shocked after hearing what Han Cheng said.

"That's a good point! Very insightful!
Just two short sentences, but they tell the whole story of external affairs!
This is true not only between countries, but also between neighbors and in many other matters.

The more you show weakness, the more you will be bullied! "

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed!
"Friend Han is indeed a man of great talent, and his words are profound!"

As Zhao Kuangyin spoke, he picked up paper and pen.

He quickly wrote down these words on the paper.

He also planned to kill Zhao Gou in the future, select a new emperor, and then tell these words to the new rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty!

Han Cheng heard this and waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't say that.

But it is said by the elders of our later generations.

I just said what the old man said out of my own feelings."

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved.

I became even more curious about the old man Han Cheng mentioned.

From the few words revealed by Han Cheng, he could feel that this was an extremely wise man.

He seemed to have the determination to fight against heaven and earth and had great courage. He decided that when he had time in the future, he would have a good chat with his good son-in-law.

Look at what an outstanding person this is...

"...Wanyan Zongbi, led by the Jin soldiers, stayed in Mingzhou for seventeen days.

He failed to pursue Zhao Gou, and as the weather was getting hotter, he was alone in the deep territory and plundered too much.

So they decided to withdraw.

On February 3rd of the fourth year of Jianyan, Zongbi claimed that the search of mountains and seas had been completed and began to withdraw his troops.

They suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Southern Song army and civilians along the way.

Wanyan Zongbing was also almost captured by Han Shizhong in the Battle of Huangtiandang.

On March 19th, Zhao Gou returned to western Zhejiang by sea.

He arrived in Yuezhou on April 12 and was unwilling to return to Jiankang.

I want to stay here for a long time.

In the first month of the first year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou changed the name of the era to Shaoxing, and in October Yuezhou was upgraded to Shaoxing Prefecture.

In Shaoxing, Zhao Gou reorganized the various guards and emphasized the importance of the court controlling the army.

The Imperial Camp Office was also abolished, and the prime minister concurrently served as the Privy Councilor.

In addition, a pacification office was set up to strengthen regional defense.

Although the Zhenfu Division was later abolished, the scale of divided defense was established from then on.

The power of the generals was further strengthened...

In November of the first year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou moved his capital to Lin'an on the pretext that Shaoxing's grain transport was no longer available.

He arrived in Lin'an on the 14th day of the first lunar month of the following year.

During this period, Qin Hui, the former Chief Censor of the Song Dynasty, who served under Wanyan Chang of the Jin Dynasty, returned south in September of the fourth year of Jianyan.

In November, he was received by Zhao Gou.

Strongly advocate peace talks.

Zhao Gou praised Qin Hui for his extraordinary sincerity and loyalty, and said that he was so happy that he couldn't sleep after getting Qin Hui.

It was decided to entrust him with an important task, appoint him as the Minister of Rites, and reward him generously.

In the first month of the first year of Shaoxing, Qin Hui was promoted to be the Vice-Chancellor.

In August, he replaced Fan Zongyin as the right prime minister, responsible for implementing and executing the compromise line towards Jin.

At the same time, Lu Yihao, who resigned due to the southward advance of the Jin army in the third year of Jianyan, was promoted to the position of left prime minister by Zhao Gou.

Ranked above Qin Hui.

Lu Yihao asked Zhu Shengfei to return to the court to contain Qin Hui.

Qin Hui formed a clique for personal gain in order to exclude Lu Yihao, and his proposal for a peace strategy in which southerners returned to the south and northerners returned to the north also displeased Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou said, Qin Hui said that southerners go south and northerners go north, I am a northerner, where should I go?
Under this situation, Qin Hui was dismissed from his post as prime minister on August 26, the second year of Shaoxing.

Zhao Gou also stated that he would never use Qin Hui again.

Lü Yihao repeatedly requested a northern expedition to recover the Central Plains, but Zhao Gou gradually became tired of him due to the impeachment of the censors.

In September of the third year of Shaoxing, Lü Yihao resigned on the grounds of illness..."

"This dog beast really has no backbone at all!

Just want to live in peace!

It's really hateful that he only wants to make a living by guarding his one-third acre of land!
How could we allow this kind of bastard to be the emperor of our Song Dynasty!! "

Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to say anything more.

But after hearing all the things this bastard had done, he couldn't help but cursed him once again...

"After the Jinsoushanjianhai military operation was over, Wanyan Zongbing was sent to govern Shaanxi.

In the Battle of Fuping, he defeated Zhang Jun and took over most of Shaanxi.

But he was severely injured by Wu Jie in the Battle of Heshangyuan.

On the other hand, he supported Liu Yu as a puppet emperor in the Central Plains and established the pseudo-Qi regime.

In March of the second year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou appointed Sang Zhong, the pacification envoy of Xiangyang, to attack Liu Yu. He also appointed Zhai Xing, the pacification envoy of Tangzhou in Mengru, Henan and the governor of Henan Prefecture, and Jie Qian, the pacification envoy of the Gong'an Army of Guixia and Jingmen in Jingnan.

Wang Yan, the pacification envoy of Jinfangzhou, Chen Gui, the pacification envoy of Hanyang Army in Fuzhou, De'an Prefecture, and Li Dao, the governor of Suizhou, responded to the call.

But just a few days later, Sang Zhong was killed by his subordinate Huo Ming.

Liu Yu also sent people to bribe Zhai Xing's subordinates with huge profits and killed Zhai Xing.

This crusade ended in nothing.

In July, Zhao Gou ordered Zhai Xing's son Zhai Cong to inherit his father's position.

In December, Li Heng, a former general under Sang Zhong and the governor of Xiangyang, set out from the mountain stronghold west of Beijing to attack Liu Yu.

Later, Zhai Cong led the remaining people in the mountain stronghold to launch a successful surprise attack on Zhengzhou.

The Song army recaptured Yingchang and prepared to advance to Kaifeng.

Liu Yu asked Jin for help, and Wanyan Zongbing led the Jin army to defeat the Song army.

All the states and counties that had been captured were lost one after another, and even the Xianghan area was lost...

After Li Heng and others were defeated in the war with the Pseudo-Qi, Zhao Gou ordered the Southern Song army stationed in Sizhou to retreat to Xuyi and prohibited border troops from invading Qi.

On the other hand, Han Xiaozhou, a scholar of the Duanming Palace and a co-signer of the Privy Council, was sent as an envoy to the Jin Dynasty to present a memorial and communicate with the Jin army.

In November of the third year of Shaoxing, Wanyan Zonghan, the left deputy marshal of Jin, sent Li Yongshou, the commander of Wenzhou militia, Wang Yi, the doctor of Zhifang, and nine others to come to the Southern Song Dynasty with Han Xiaozhou and others.

This was the first time that the Jin side sent envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty since Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor.

The Song court attached great importance to it. Not only did they order guards to go out of the city to greet and see off the Jin army wherever it arrived, but they also prepared boxes for the Jin people to store the letters from the emperor in advance.

However, to Zhao Gou's great disappointment, the Jin envoys did not come to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty.

The only proposal was to send the northern people who fled to the south back to the north.

He even wanted to use the river as the boundary between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty.

Even Zhao Gou couldn’t accept this request…”

"Look! Look! This is the result of this bastard's blind tolerance!

The other party will not stop just because you bow your head and give in.

I will just think you are weak and can be bullied!
It will only get worse!

After this bastard has gone through all this, he should be more sensible and tougher, right? "

But after saying this, even Zhao Kuangyin himself didn't quite believe it...

"In the fourth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou adopted Zhu Shengfei's suggestion.

Yue Fei was appointed as the governor of Shuqi, Huangfu, Hanyang and De'an Prefecture in the western part of Jiangnan Road, in preparation for the recovery of the six counties of Xiang and Han.

He also ordered Han Shizhong, the envoy of Huaidong, to lead 10,000 people to station at Sishang as a decoy.

He ordered Liu Guangshi to select elite troops to march out of Chen and Cai to support Yue Fei's army.

Yue Fei's army left Ezhou on the first day of May and recaptured Yingzhou on the fifth day.

He then defeated Li Cheng's army stationed in Xiangyang and recaptured Xiangyang on the 17th.

By late July, with the successive recovery of Suizhou, Dengzhou, Tangzhou and Xinyang armies, the Xianghan area returned to the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Gou was overjoyed and said: I have always heard that Yue Fei led his army with great discipline, but I did not know that he could defeat the enemy like this.

Yue Fei was then granted the title of Jiedushi of Qingyuan Army.

Yue Fei became the fifth Southern Song general to be awarded the title of military governor after Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Wu Jie.

They also became the backbone of the anti-Jin resistance.

Before this, Wu Jie, who was guarding Sichuan and Shaanxi, defeated the Jin army in the Battle of Xianren Pass.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, Jin and the pseudo-Qi once again planned a large-scale invasion to the south.

On September 26, the Jin-Qi coalition forces crossed the Huai River.

Zhao Gou accepted the advice of the new right prime minister Zhao Ding and threatened to lead the army himself.

But when he arrived at Pingjiang Prefecture, he stopped moving forward.

The Jin army encountered stubborn resistance from the Song army led by Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others in Lianghuai and was unable to cross the river.

There were also logistical problems.

In addition, news came that Emperor Taizong of Jin was seriously ill, so he withdrew his troops five years ago in Shaoxing.

In February of the fifth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou returned to Lin'an. In June of the same year, Yue Fei suppressed the Yang Yao Uprising centered on Dongting Lake.

Solved a major problem for the Southern Song Dynasty..."

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

The Song Dynasty is not without irreconcilable generals and irreconcilable soldiers!

These dog emperors are beasts! They are soft-footed crabs and dare not fight!
If the emperor could stand up straight, he would not be bullied to this extent!

Zhao Gou is a shameless bastard.

He is the same as his ancestors, his father, his brothers and so many others.

My legs go weak when I hear about war.

If only we had an emperor who was capable, strong-willed and willing to fight.

Even the Song Dynasty would not be like this!"

Zhao Kuangyin gave his own evaluation on this matter.

Then he added: "This Yue Fei is a loyal minister and a good general, very capable.

I wonder how many merits he has achieved in the future, and what his ending will be?"

Zhao Kuangyin was quite satisfied with Yue Fei's military achievements.

Looking at Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, he asked such questions.

It would have been better if he didn't ask this question. As soon as he asked this question, Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang's expressions became somewhat strange.

Various things about Yue Fei kept emerging in my mind.

It makes their chests explode!

"What's wrong? Is it... that bastard Zhao Gou who has done something evil again?"

Zhao Kuangyin's mood had just improved a little, but when he saw the reactions of the two, his heart sank.

The voice was low and solemn as he looked at Han Cheng and asked... (End of this chapter)
