Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

When Zhao Kuangyin heard Han Cheng talk about Yue Fei, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

At the same time, some gloom arose in my heart.

Such loyal and righteous people have been betrayed to this extent. Those bastards really deserve to die!

And Han Cheng's voice continued, telling him more about Yue Fei...

"In February, the Jin army sailed across the sea and pursued Zhao Gou for 300 miles without catching him.

Wanyan Zongbing used the excuse that the search of mountains and seas had been completed to allow his troops to burn and loot Mingzhou, Lin'an and other cities.

Carrying all the looted gold, silver and treasures, they advanced by land and water along the Grand Canal, retreating northward via Xiuzhou, Pingjiang and other places.

When passing through Changzhou, Yue Fei led his troops from Yixing to intercept them.

Yue Fei won all four battles and captured eleven people including the Jurchen Wanhu Shaozhu Bojin.

And they continued to attack Zhenjiang Prefecture.

After the Changzhou interception battle, Yue Fei received his first imperial edict, ordering him to cooperate with Han Shizhong in Zhenjiang.

Attack the Jin army from the left wing and wait for an opportunity to recapture Jiankang.

The Jin army fought with Han Shizhong on the water for forty days and was trapped in Huangtian Dang.

He was able to enter the river thanks to the advice of a spy.

On land, Yue Fei won his first victory on April 25th at Qingshui Pavilion, 30 miles south of Jiankang City, and the corpses of Jin soldiers lay strewn over 15 miles!

In early May, Yue Fei set up camp on Niutou Mountain, south of Jiankang.

At night, a hundred-man death squad harassed the Jin army, causing heavy casualties.

Wanyan Zongbing suffered a series of blows and was ready to abandon Jiankang.

They first carried out widespread killing, looting and destruction in the city, and then crossed the river from Jing'an Town northwest of Jiankang to Xuanhua Town on the north bank.

Yue Fei led 300 cavalrymen and 2,000 infantrymen to rush down Niutou Mountain.

They defeated the Jin army and occupied Xincheng, southwest of Jiankang City.

They then pursued the enemy to Jing'an and annihilated the Jin army before they could cross the river.

Jiankang was recovered
The Battle of Jiankang lasted for half a month. Yue's army killed about 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, more than 1,000 surrendered, and captured more than 20 officers of the Wanhu and Qianhu rank...

"Well, good kill! We should teach these bastards a lesson!
Let them understand that not all people in the Song Dynasty are wimps.

Not all are so easy to bully.

The Song Dynasty also has loyal and brave men, and soldiers who dare to fight! "

Zhao Kuangyin exclaimed in admiration, with a look of excitement on his face.

"But the emperor is incompetent..."

Zhu Yuanzhang silently added this sentence in his heart.

He originally wanted to say this.

But after looking at Zhao Kuangyin's expression and thinking about it, he finally suppressed his words.

I finally saw Zhao Kuangyin happy, and then I stabbed him again.

There was some concern that Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to hold on and die.

This is too bad...

"In April of that year, Yue Fei had already joined the army of Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Right Army of the Imperial Court and the governor of Zhejiang West and Jiangdong.

After Yue Fei recaptured Jiankang, Zhang Jun wanted to send Yue Fei to Raozhou to guard the Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road.
But Yue Fei attached great importance to the strategic significance of defending Jiankang.

In late May, Yue Fei personally escorted the prisoners of war to Yuezhou.

He met Song Gaozong Zhao Gou for the first time in his life.

He reported to the court:
Jiankang is a strategic location, so we should select soldiers to defend it.

I believe that if the enemy were to cross the river, they would first attack the two Zhejiang provinces. The east and west of the river are remote, and I am afraid that heavy troops will block their way back?
It’s not where I’m going.

I beg for help to guard the Huaihe River and protect my heart...

Zhao Gou read Yue Fei's memorial and agreed with it deeply.

So he changed Zhang Jun's original proposal and gave Yue Fei a golden belt, a saddle and other items...

In June of the fourth year of Jianyan, the Song court ordered Yue Fei to cooperate with Zhang Jun's army to attack the rebel general Qi Fang who was roaming around Xuanzhou and Huzhou.

Qi Fang's troops were defeated by Yue's army, so they surrendered to Zhang Jun.

Yue Fei's reputation grew due to his achievements on the battlefield over the past few months.

In July, Prime Minister Fan Zongyin recommended Yue Fei to Zhao Gou, saying: Zhang Jun came from western Zhejiang and praised Yue Fei as a capable person.

In the same month, the Song court promoted Yue Fei to the rank of Military Officer and Defense Commissioner of Changzhou.

Ren Tong, Taizhou pacification envoy and Taizhou governor...

After receiving the appointment edict, Yue Fei requested to be relieved of his duties as governor of Tongzhou and Taizhou, and instead be given the power to recruit troops in the Huainan East Road to defeat the Jin army and recover the prefectures and counties along the route.

But it was not approved by the Song court.

In August, Jin army commander Wanyan Zongbing and Wanyan Talan joined forces to attack Chuzhou, an important town located at the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Huai River.

The Song court ordered Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi to rescue Chuzhou.

But both of them refused to support.

Yue Fei was under the command of Liu Guangshi at this time.

After receiving the imperial edict to rescue Chuzhou, he submitted a memorial requesting to solve the supply problem and at the same time began to organize his troops to take action.

On September 20th, Yue's army marched to Chengzhou to engage in battle with the Jin army.

He won three battles and three victories within one month, beheaded the Jin army general Gao Taibao, and captured more than 70 leaders of the Jurchen, Khitan, Bohai, and Haner armies!
However, Yue's army was isolated and had no support, and the disparity in numbers made it difficult for the 10,000 men with insufficient supplies to fight against the main force of the Jin army.

Finally, they were unable to lift the siege of Chuzhou, and the city was captured by the Jin army on September 25th...

"Bang!!"

Zhao Kuangyin smashed down again with the dragon stick.

In the future, the already scrapped chair will be smashed even more.

"Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun!"

After smashing it, he picked up the pen again and wrote down the man's name in the small notebook.

Compared with Yue Fei, how ugly they both are.

He is really a man who only cares about his own military power and is nurturing a tiger to cause trouble.

While I feel happy for Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army he led, I also feel extremely sad.

Such a loyal and righteous man was in trouble for food and fodder.

Kill!

All the termites from top to bottom should be killed!!

"One month after the Jin army captured Chuzhou, they invaded Yue Fei's defense zones of Tongzhou and Taizhou with a force of 200,000.

Liu Guangshi disobeyed the Song court's edict and refused to provide support.

In November, Yue Fei abandoned Taizhou City because Taizhou had no strategic location.

Retreat to Chaixu Town, Taixing County to cover the people's retreat to the south.

Yue Fei's army fought fiercely with the Jin army at Nanbatang for several days. Yue Fei was shot twice but he persisted and fought hard to repel the Jin army.

Yue Fei's army had run out of food and was isolated and unable to hold out, so he ordered the entire army to cross the river and station in Jiangyin.

He also reported the crime of losing Taizhou to the Song court and requested punishment.

The Song court ordered Yue Fei to stay in Jiangyin and defend the river bank..."

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were a little red, and his chest seemed to be blocked by countless things.

There are so many corrupt officials in the court from top to bottom.

When will the anti-Jin cause be accomplished?
The shameless behavior of these people is increasingly highlighted, and Yue Fei's actions are rare!

"…The establishment of the pseudo-Qi regime and the emergence of a stalemate between the Song and Jin dynasties gave the Southern Song Dynasty time to take care of its internal affairs and began to eliminate internal troubles.

The bandits, mainly composed of stragglers defeated by the Jin army, formed gangs and became thieves, wandering around because they could not get proper resettlement from the court.

Among them, the most powerful and the most harmful ones were Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and others who roamed around Jiang, Huai, Hu, Jing and other places.

In December of the fourth year of Jianyan, Zhang Jun was appointed as the Jiangnan Road Recruiting Envoy.

He led the campaign against Li Cheng and other bandits.

But after dozens of days, there was no progress, so he petitioned the court to send Yue Fei, the governor of Tong and Tai, to accompany him...

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei rushed from Jiangyin to Yixing and went to Raozhou to meet Zhang Jun.

Li Cheng's general Ma Jin wanted to invade Hongzhou, so Zhang Jun entered Hongzhou and confronted Ma Jin for more than a month without taking the initiative to attack.

On the third day of March, Yue Fei led his troops to Hongzhou and offered advice to Zhang Jun.

I volunteered to be the vanguard.

On the ninth day, Yue Fei led his troops across the river from Shengmi Ferry and defeated Ma Jin in the area of ​​Yulong Temple.

Ma Jin led the remaining troops to escape, and Yue Fei pursued them for 25 miles. Ma Jin then led his troops to counterattack.

Yue Fei shot and killed the vanguard general with one arrow, and led his troops forward. Ma Jinjun was invincible and fled westward into Yunzhou.

On the eleventh day, Ma Jin marched out in full force and formed a battle array over a fifteen-li area.

Yue Fei personally led 200 cavalrymen, holding high the flag with the word "Yue" on it to lure the enemy.

As soon as Ma Jin engaged in the battle, the ambushes arranged by the government troops in advance sprang up everywhere and Ma Jin was defeated.

Eight thousand people surrendered.

Yue Fei pursued the remnants of Ma Jin to Zhujiashan and killed his general Zhao Wan.

When Li Cheng heard that Ma Jin had failed, he personally led an army of more than 100,000 men to meet the government troops at Louzizhuang, Fengxin. Yue Fei and Zhang Jun's armies joined forces.

Li Cheng's army was severely defeated, and 20,000 men and 2,000 horses were captured.

Li Cheng fled...

After Li Cheng was pacified, Zhang Yong led a group of 50,000 soldiers and was still active in Ruichang County, Jiangzhou and Hongzhou.

Yue Fei wrote a letter to Zhang Yong, persuading him with the friendship between fellow townsmen, the friendship between early comrades and the interests of the situation.

After reading the letter, Zhang Yong kowtowed to the messenger and said: "If you are indeed my father, how dare I not surrender?"

So he led his troops to surrender.

Zhang Jun praised Yue Fei's bravery and strategy to his subordinates, saying: "You and I are not as good as him!"

"Great! You are worthy of being a loyal and brave man of the Song Dynasty, the backbone of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Kuangyin exclaimed in admiration once again.

How many people are engaged in despicable activities, and how many incompetent people are in high positions.

Yue Fei became more and more dazzling...

"In the first month of the second year of Shaoxing, the bandits in the two lakes were eliminated.

The Song court appointed Yue Fei as the acting governor of Tanzhou and concurrently as the pacification commissioner of Jinghu East Road and the commander-in-chief of the cavalry and infantry.

On March 17, Yue Fei led his army from Hongzhou to attack Cao Cheng who was invading Hunan and Guangnan states.

Yue Fei informed Cao Cheng of the Song court's intention and hoped that he would surrender.

Cao Cheng refused to surrender.

Yue Fei continued to march...

...Yue Fei ordered Zhang Xian to attack the pass, just as Yue's army was celebrating their victory after breaking through the pass.

However, they were counterattacked by Yang Zaixing, a general under Cao Cheng, and Han Shunfu, the fifth general of Yue's army, was killed.

The government troops that entered the pass were forced to retreat.

Yang Zaixing was extremely brave and fought against three generals of Yue Fei's army, including Wang Jing and Zhang Xian, and killed Yue Fei's brother Yue Fan...

In the intercalary fourth month, Yue's army entered Hezhou, and Cao Cheng set up an array of troops for dozens of miles in Taiping Field to resist.

Yue Fei deliberately leaked false information to Cao Cheng's spies that the army was running out of food and was preparing to withdraw, in order to lure Cao Cheng to pursue him.

Yue's army then marched to Taiping Field at night and captured Cao Cheng's camp.

On the sixth day, Yue Fei defeated Cao Cheng's army of more than 30,000 with only 8,000 men...

Cao Cheng fled to Guiling County and sent the commander-in-chief Wang Yuan to occupy Beizangling, Shangwuguan and Pengling, and defend them by taking advantage of the terrain.

Yue Fei led his troops in a fierce attack and broke through three lines of defense.

Cao Cheng was defeated and fled.

Yue Fei occupied the camp and seized their swords, guns, drums, flags and other items.

Yang Zaixing was captured alive by Zhang Xian's troops...

Yang Zaixing said: I am a good man, you should take me to see Yue Fei.

Yue Fei put aside the revenge for beheading a general and killing his brother, and personally untied Yang Zaixing.

And he said: You and I are from the same village, and you are a good man. I will not kill you. You should repay the country with loyalty and righteousness!
Yang Zaixing then surrendered sincerely...

Yue Fei ordered all the good local people who were coerced by Cao Cheng to return to the fields.

He also recruited more than 20,000 of his people to surrender... Cao Cheng fled everywhere and finally surrendered to Han Shizhong...

"What a great Yue Fei! He is loyal and brave, and he always puts the overall situation first!"

Zhao Kuangyin praised again.

Yang Zaixing's name was written in the small notebook.

Such a hero must be entrusted with important tasks.

We can’t let them become bandits!

"…In the spring of the fourth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei submitted a petition to recover Xiangyang, proposing to recover the six counties of Xianghan that had been captured by the pseudo-Qi regime.

And he said: Restoring the Central Plains is the basis.

Yue Fei's proposal was supported by the court ministers Zhu Shengfei and Zhao Ding.

The Song court finally decided to send Yue's army to recapture Xianghan, and Liu Guangshi's army to reinforce.

On March 13, Yue Fei was officially appointed as the frontier commander of the Jinghu North Route...

However, Zhao Gou also specifically stipulated that Yue's army was not allowed to claim to be launching a northern expedition or to talk about retaking Bianliang.

It is limited to recovering six counties.

Otherwise, even if you have made great achievements, you will be punished...

"This bastard! He really only cares about living in peace!

I’m afraid I’ll bring his father and brother back!”

Zhao Kuangyin cursed loudly, and it made me angry just by listening to him...

"On April 19, Yue's army returned to the battlefield.

Advance from Jiangzhou to Ezhou.

When crossing the river from Wuchang to the north, Yue Fei said to his staff in high spirits:
If Fei doesn't capture the enemy leader and recover the old territory, he won't cross this river!

On May 5th, Yue's army arrived directly at the city of Yingzhou.

At dawn on the 6th, Yue's army launched a general attack on Yingzhou.

The battle was extremely fierce. Yue Fei was sitting under the big banner giving orders. Suddenly, a large piece of cannonball fell in front of him. People on both sides avoided it in shock, but Yue Fei's feet did not move at all.

The soldiers climbed the ladders and bravely attacked the city walls.

This battle killed more than 7,000 enemies...

After Yingzhou was recovered, Yue's army was divided into two routes, with Zhang Xian and Xu Qing leading the troops eastward to attack Suizhou.

Yue Fei led his troops straight to Xiangyang Prefecture and had a decisive battle with Li Cheng, who had surrendered to the Qi Dynasty.

Seeing that Yingzhou was captured in one day, Li Cheng no longer had the courage to hold on and fled in panic.

On May 17th, Yue Fei recaptured Xiangyang without bloodshed.

On the 18th, Niu Gao, Zhang Xian and Xu Qing joined forces to capture Suizhou City and captured 5,000 pseudo-Qi troops.

Yue Fei's eldest son Yue Yun, who was sixteen years old, was the bravest of the three armies. He was the first to rush to the top of the city wall, holding two iron spike spears weighing dozens of kilograms..."

"Great! Both the Yue family father and son are heroes!"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't remember how many times he had praised Yue Fei and others.

After the voice fell, he wrote down Yue Yun's name in the small notebook...

"On July 17, Yue Fei's army captured Dengcheng. The soldiers ignored the arrows and stones and advanced like ants.

After a bloody battle, Dengcheng was finally conquered.

Countless Jin and puppet troops were killed.

Yue Yun was the first brave warrior to climb the city wall.

Yue's army captured Dengzhou and captured Gao Zhong alive.

Yue Fei immediately sent Li Dao to Tangzhou, and recaptured the capital of Tangzhou on the 23rd.

At the same time, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian defeated the joint forces of Jin and Qi again, thirty miles north of Tangzhou, to cover Li Dao's recovery of the city.

On the same day, Xinyang Army was also captured.

On July 26, Liu Guangshi's general Li Qiong arrived with 5,000 reinforcements.

But there is no war to fight.

Yue Fei made a special memorial, requesting that these 5,000 people be rewarded first.

I don't want to get any reward, I'm afraid it will go against people's will...

It was also because of this conquest of six counties that Yue Fei became famous all over the world...

After recovering the six counties of Xiangyang, Yue Fei was ordered to move his garrison to Ezhou.

From then on, Ezhou became the base camp of Yue's army...

Yue Fei sent two thousand men to guard Xiangyang Prefecture and Tang and Deng prefectures.

One hundred and fifty men guarded Yingzhou, and two hundred men guarded Suizhou.

He also ordered the garrison to repair the city walls, strengthen the defense, vigorously develop farmland, and recruit farmers to return to work...

Thanks to Yue Fei's efforts to rectify defense and focus on developing production, the Xianghan area finally recovered from the ravages of the Qi Dynasty and the trauma of war.

It became a strategic location for the Southern Song Dynasty to connect Sichuan and Shaanxi and to expand to the Central Plains in the north... In the fourth year of Jianyan, Zhong Xiang, the leader of the peasant army in the Dongting Lake area, rose up against the Song Dynasty.

After Zhong Xiang was killed, Yang Yao and others gathered troops and occupied the Dongting Lake area.

They adopted the system of "farming on land and fighting on water" and continued to confront the Southern Song court.

The Song court regarded him as a traitor and sent envoys to recruit him and dispatched troops to suppress him, but they always returned in vain...

The imperial court then sent Zhang Jun and Yue Fei to pacify Dongting Lake.

But these people in Dongting Lake are very powerful!

The battle was extraordinary.

After fighting for a while, Zhang Jun felt invincible and wanted to withdraw his troops, but Yue Fei guaranteed that he would be annihilated within eight days.

Zhang Jun didn't believe it at all.

But Yue Fei's next move completely blinded Zhang Jun's eyes...

In Zhang Jun's hands, the bandits are difficult to defeat.

He was actually overcome by Bayichi.

Zhang Jun couldn't help but admire Yue Fei's strategy...

Yue Fei was awarded the title of Junior Guardian for his contribution in pacifying Yang Mao, and was further granted the title of Duke of Wuchang County.

Later, he was promoted to the Recruiting Envoy of Jinghu North Road and Xiangyangfu Road..."

As Zhao Kuangyin listened to Han Cheng's story, he liked Yue Fei more and more.

I just felt that my eyes were flashing.

Such a general, such a genius, such a loyal and unparalleled man, must be put to good use!

Han Cheng then told Zhao Kuangyin about Yue Fei's second Northern Expedition.

"...Yue Fei's mother passed away, and Yue Fei developed an eye disease due to fatigue from years of fighting and excessive grief.

He resigned from his post and returned home with his mother's coffin...

Zhao Gou and others felt uneasy, and successively sent people to invite Yue Fei to lead the army.

Unable to balance loyalty and righteousness, Yue Fei ended his mission early and returned to the army...

At this time, Zhang Jun decided to postpone the Northern Expedition on the grounds that the weather had turned cold...

But Yue Fei was determined to recover the lost territory as soon as possible.

So we decided to proceed with the original plan.

Next, Yue Fei's army continued to win battle after battle.

Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Yang Zaixing and other generals under Yue Fei demonstrated shocking fighting power.

Recovered many lost territories...

It continued until the generation of Yiluo.

This was a particularly exciting thing in itself, but after Zhao Gou received the news, his attitude seemed cold...

It is said that Yue Fei's victory was not without reason from the military strategists, so it is advisable to read the book and ask in detail.

It’s not that I’m stingy with my reward, I just want to get some advice on how to deal with the situation!

Zhang Jun replied, "Fei's measures are very important. Now he has reached Yi and Luo. There must be collusion among the mountain strongholds in the Taihang Mountains.

Since Liang Qing came, his intention has been very firm...

As Yue's army was isolated and fighting deep in the mountainous areas of Shaanxi, it was difficult to get food and fodder, so they had to return to Ezhou.

Many areas that had been recovered were lost again.

However, the entire territory of Shangzhou and part of Guozhou were controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty from then on.

Until later, it was ceded to the Jin Dynasty...

Yue Fei left Wang Gui and his men to guard the front line, and allocated 10,000 shi of military rations to provide relief to the residents who voluntarily followed the army to retreat south.

They also allocated cattle, borrowed seeds, and recruited people to do the farming.

Arrange their life and production.

In late September, Yue Fei returned to Ezhou and his eye disease relapsed severely.

The military affairs could only be handed over to Zhang Xian, the staff officer Xue Bi of the Xuanfu Division, and the councilor Li Ruoxu.
After hearing the news, the Song court sent someone to Ezhou to treat Yue Fei, and he finally got better..."

"Fuck you, you bastard!"

Zhao Kuangyin cursed angrily.

What a good opportunity, wasted like this!
Amid Zhao Kuangyin's angry scolding, Han Cheng continued to tell him about Yue Fei's third northern expedition...

"When the Jin army marched south, Zhao Gou once again asked Yue Fei to lead the troops into battle.

Yue Fei and others crushed the Jin army's counterattack directly...

In February of the eighth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei returned to Ezhou and continued to train his troops.

Training day and night.

The fall of Liu Yu of the Pseudo-Qi led to many soldiers and civilians in the former Qi defecting.

Yue's army and other Song army units had accepted former Qi soldiers and civilians who came to surrender many times.

Yue Fei believed that this was an opportunity to recover the Central Plains, and he submitted several memorials advocating a Northern Expedition.

But Zhao Gou had no intention of sending troops.

At this time, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was moved from the important frontline town of Jiankang to Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River under the planning of the Left Prime Minister Zhao Ding and the Privy Councilor Qin Hui.

In order to compromise and seek peace, Zhao Gou further promoted Qin Hui to the position of right prime minister.

And let him connect with Jin...

After meeting with the Jin envoy Wulin Dazanmo, Zhao Gou summoned the three generals Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei to Lin'an for discussions.

Except Zhang Jun who changed his stance according to the situation and agreed to the peace talks.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei both expressed their firm opposition to the peace talks.

Yue Fei said to Zhao Gou: The barbarians cannot be trusted, and peace cannot be relied upon. If the prime minister does not make good plans for the country, he may be ridiculed by future generations.

Han Shizhong also wrote more than ten letters in succession, insisting on opposing peace talks.

Zhao Gou ignored it..."

"Begging for peace! Begging for peace! Begging for peace again!
Please, f**k me! You bastard! ! "

Zhao Kuangyin cursed loudly, and his blood pressure soared...

"In November, the Jin court sent two envoys from Jiangnan, Zhang Tonggu and Xiao Zhe, to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, carrying an imperial edict.

The Jin people did not call it the Song Dynasty but Jiangnan, and did not talk about peace talks but imperial edicts.

He also required Zhao Gou to kneel down in person to receive the imperial edict from the Jin emperor.

The Southern Song Dynasty was completely placed in a vassal state.
As the news spread, public opinion was in an uproar both within the government and the public.

The ministers in the Song court discussed this issue a lot, and many of them opposed it.

However, these pro-war figures, such as Deputy Privy Councilor Wang Shu and Privy Council Editor Hu Quan, were either dismissed from office or demoted.

Even Zhao Ding, who supported peace talks, was dismissed from his position as prime minister because he disagreed with the Jin people's boundary demarcation terms.

From then on, Qin Hui began to monopolize the position of prime minister.

On December 27th, Qin Hui, as prime minister, knelt at the feet of the Jin envoy on behalf of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

The Emperor of Song submitted a letter of allegiance and acknowledged that Song was a vassal state of Jin.

Accepting the Henan land granted by Jin, and paying tribute of 250,000 taels and pieces of silver and silk each year, the first peace agreement between Southern Song and Jin was reached..."

"Fuck you!!
The upright people don't do it, but kneel down on the ground and serve others as dogs! As grandsons!
I @&_$…”

Zhao Kuangyin was almost fainted from anger, and he started beating him hard with the Panlong Stick.

The curse was particularly harsh...

"In the autumn of the ninth year of Xing, Wanyan Zongbing, Wanyan Oben and others launched a coup d'état and killed Wanyan Talan and others who advocated peace.

Wanyan Zongbing was promoted to the Grand Marshal and concurrently in charge of the Executive Secretariat, becoming the new ruler of the Jin Dynasty.

In May of the tenth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Xizong of Jin tore up the peace treaty on the grounds that Wanyan Talan had ceded Henan land without authorization, and issued an edict to the Marshal's Office, ordering the recovery of Henan and Shaanxi.

Wanyan Zongbing personally led an army of 100,000 troops from Liyang to Kaifeng...

Under such circumstances, Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and others had no choice but to support Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals who advocated war.

Let them continue to resist the Jin people.

For this reason, Zhao Gou also directly stated that Yue Fei would be allowed to continue the Northern Expedition and recover the lost territory...

Yue Fei's army had been training in Ezhou for three years. After receiving the imperial edict, Yue Fei immediately sent Zhang Xian and Yao Zheng to lead the army eastward to rescue Shunchang.

He then led the main force of Yue's army to the north to attack the Central Plains.

Before the army set out, the generals and soldiers of Yue's army made an agreement with their families to reunite after the Central Plains was pacified.

The Jin army in the west was in a stalemate with the troops led by Hu Shijiang, the deputy envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Wu Lin, the commander of the right guard army of the camp.

Before Yue's army reached Shunchang, Liu Qi defeated the Jin army in the Battle of Shunchang.

Just as the Jin army was blocked on the western front and Shunchang on the eastern front was relieved, the situation was slightly stabilized.

However, Zhao Gou ordered Li Ruoxu, who was then the Minister of Agriculture, to convey the imperial edict to Yue Fei, telling Yue Fei not to move his troops rashly and to return home immediately.

In late June, Li Ruoxu rushed to Yue Fei's army which had already arrived at De'an Prefecture to convey the emperor's order.

Yue Fei presented his strategy to Li Ruoxu to recover the Central Plains. Li Ruoxu had always advocated resistance against the Jin army and was originally a councilor in Yue Fei's Xuanfu Division.

So he ignored the crime of forging an imperial edict and took the initiative to support Yue Fei's northern expedition..."

"Fuck it! This bastard!

I have been treated like a dog! Like a grandson!
So until now, you still have illusions about the Jin people?
Still not allowed to fight?

I can go to your mother's place!!"

Zhao Kuangyin was almost mad with anger!

"Yue Fei then led his troops northward. In June and the intercalary June, Zhang Xian's vanguard captured Caizhou, and Niu Gao's left army defeated the Jin army in Jingxi Road.

He then led his troops eastward to join the main army.

Commander Sun Xian also defeated the Jin soldiers between Caizhou and Huaining Prefecture.

Zhang Xian and Fu Xuan defeated the Jin general Han Chang and successfully recovered Yingchang Prefecture.

Niu Gao and Xu Qing then joined forces with Zhang Xian and recaptured Chenzhou.

Yue Fei had been contacting the northern civilian anti-Jin armed forces and implementing the strategy of "linking Heshuo" for ten years.

The rebel leaders sent to Hebei this time, including Li Bao, Sun Yan, Liang Xing, Dong Rong, and Meng Bangjie, were responsible for organizing local loyal militia in the Taihang Mountains, Hebei, Hedong and other routes.

Cooperating with Yue's army in the rear...

From the south of Yanshan Mountain, the Jin Dynasty’s orders were no longer carried out…

In less than two months, Yue Fei's troops and the loyal militias from all over the country that he contacted had surrounded Wanyan Zongbing's Dongjing from the south, southwest, west, northwest, north, and northeast..."

"Good! It's good!"

Zhao Kuangyin clapped his hands in admiration.

"Compared with Yue Fei, Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and so many others are just maggots in the toilet!"

"…As the amount of lost territory continued to increase, Yue's army had to disperse its forces to defend the newly occupied areas.

However, the armies of Han Shizhong, Wu Lin and others were in a stalemate with the Jin army and were unable to directly cooperate with Yue's army.

After Zhang Jun recovered Suzhou and Bozhou at the end of the intercalary sixth month, he hurried back to his capital.

After Liu Qi won the battle of Shunchang, he remained stationed in Shunchang, neither attacking nor retreating south in accordance with the imperial edict of the Song court.

The main force of Yue Fei's army in the Northern Expedition was facing the danger of being isolated and deep in the enemy's territory, so Yue Fei had to slow down the offensive.

The troops were gradually gathered in Yancheng County and Yingchang Prefecture.

He also submitted memorials to the Song court requesting support - the people all wanted to return to the court and begged it to send a large army to deal with the situation.

But no reinforcements have arrived...

When Wanyan Zongbing learned that Yue Fei had few troops stationed in Yancheng, he sent 15,000 cavalrymen to attack Yancheng directly.

In an attempt to destroy the command center of Yue's army in one fell swoop.

On the eighth day of July, Wanyan Zongbing, together with the Dragon and Tiger King Wanyan Tuhesu, the Gaitian King Wanyan Saili and others.

He led the Jin army to fight against Yue's army in the north of Yancheng.

Wanyan Zongbing used Tiefutu as the main force and launched a frontal attack.

The left and right wings were supported by Crooked Cavalry, both of which were elite troops of the Jin army.

Yue Fei ordered his son Yue Yun to lead about 8,000 Beiwei troops and Youyi cavalry to fight.

Use tactics such as attacking from the front or from the side to deal with the crooked horse.

They also selected strong infantrymen, armed with machetes, swords, axes and other weapons, to chop the feet of the "Iron Floating Figure"'s horses.

Make the Iron Float lose its power.

The soldiers of Yue Army fought hand-to-hand with the Jin Army for dozens of rounds.

The fighting lasted from 3 p.m. until dark.

The corpses of the Jin soldiers were scattered all over the field, and they were finally defeated and fled...

On the tenth day, the Jin soldiers attacked Yancheng again.

Yue Fei once again defeated the Jin army at Wulidian in the north of the city.

At this time, Wanyan Zongbing mobilized another 120,000 troops to station in Linying County.

On the 13th, Yang Zaixing led 300 cavalrymen on a patrol.

At Xiaoshang Bridge in the south of Linying County, they suddenly encountered Wanyan Zongbing's army.

Yang Zaixing led his troops in a desperate battle and killed more than 2,000 Jin soldiers.

Among them were more than one hundred officers, and Yang Zaixing and his troops all died heroically in battle...

The next day, Zhang Xian led his troops to fight again, and the Jin soldiers had to withdraw from Linying..."

"Good man! Good man!!!"

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke repeatedly.

Besides, he didn't know what to say...

"The Jin people were unwilling to accept defeat, and on July 14, Wanyan Zongbing led 100,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry to attack Yingchang.

Wang Gui and Yue Yun led their elite cavalry to fight the Jin army to the west of Yingchang City.

Yue Yun led 800 Beiwei cavalry to launch a frontal attack and divided the infantry into left and right wings to resist the Jin cavalry.

During the Battle of Yingchang, no one in Yue's army was willing to look back.

The man killed is called a bloody man, and the horse killed is called a bloody horse.

Defeated the Jin army.

Killed more than 5,000 Jin soldiers!
Among them was Wanyan Zongbing’s son-in-law, the commander of ten thousand men, Xia Jinwu.

More than 2,000 soldiers and 78 generals were captured, and more than 3,000 horses were seized!
Wanyan Zongbing returned Kaifeng. The successive defeats made him lament: Since I rose from the north, I have never suffered such a setback as today!

Jin army general Han Chang was unwilling to fight anymore and sent a secret envoy to ask Yue Fei for surrender.

Yue Fei was encouraged by the frequent reports of victory from both north and south of the Yellow River. He said to his subordinates:

This time we will kill the Jin people and go to Huanglongfu! I will drink with you all!
Yue's army attacked on all fronts and surrounded Kaifeng.

On July 18, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, Li Shan and other commanders led the main force from Linying County to the northeast.

He defeated another 5,000 Jin troops and pursued them for 15 miles.

At the same time, Wang Gui sent troops from Yingchang Prefecture, and Niu Gao also led the left army to advance.

Wanyan Zongbing stationed an army of 100,000 at Zhuxian Town, 45 miles southwest of Kaifeng, hoping to put up a last-ditch resistance.

Yue's army marched north and set up camp in Weishi County, 45 miles away from Zhuxian Town, as a place to win.

Five hundred Beiwei cavalrymen from the vanguard of Yue's army arrived at Zhuxian Town. After one confrontation between the two sides, the entire Jin army was defeated.

Wanyan Zongbing had only one way left, which was to abandon Kaifeng Prefecture and prepare to cross the river to Hebei to escape...

Zhao Gou was particularly capricious in his attitude towards the Northern Expedition against the Jin Dynasty.

After the battlefield situation turned in favor of the Song army, they tended to protect themselves.

He also tactfully ordered Yue Fei to stop his advance several times...

In early July, Qin Hui took the opportunity to instigate his crony, the Imperial Censor Luo Ruji, to submit a memorial saying: Our army is small, our generals are few, our people are in distress, and our country is in need. If Yue Fei advances deep into our territory, won't it be dangerous?

I hope Your Majesty will issue an edict and order the troops to return.

This made Zhao Gou determined.

Around July 8 or later, the first decree to return to the army was issued to Yue Fei...

Two or three days later, the vanguard of the army reached Zhuxian Town.

When Wanyan Zongbing had already escaped from Kaifeng, Yue Fei received twelve imperial edicts issued on golden plates in one day, ordering the troops to return.

The imperial edict was stern: the army was ordered to return immediately, and Yue Fei himself was to go to Lin'an to pay homage...

According to scholar Wang Zengyu's research, Emperor Gaozong issued the twelve golden medals around July 10th.

Soon after he received the news of the victory of the recovery of Henan Prefecture in Xijing on July 2nd...

When Yue Fei received such a ridiculous order, he cried in anger and regret: My ten years of hard work have been wasted in an instant!
It is not that I am incompetent, it is the powerful minister Qin Hui who has misled Your Majesty! !

However, under the high-pressure control of the imperial court, Yue Fei had to order his troops to return.

Upon hearing the news, the common people blocked Yue Fei's horse and cried, saying they were worried about being retaliated by the Jin soldiers:
We carried incense basins and transported food and fodder to welcome the government troops, and the Jin people knew it all.

If you leave, there will be no one left among us.

Yue Fei had no choice but to take out the imperial edict with tears in his eyes and show it to everyone, saying: I am not allowed to stay without permission.

So the crying shook the field..."

"Zhao Gou! Qin Hui! I will tear you into pieces!!!"

Zhao Kuangyin said in a hoarse voice with bloodshot eyes!
