Time Bandit

Looking at the extremely bustling city, Ji Qing thought of the picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival. 26nbsp;The picture scroll is a picture scroll after all, no matter from which aspect, it is not as real and touching as seeing it with one's own eyes.

In such an era of economic prosperity and people's affluence, the military is so incompetent.Zhao Kuangyin, who is about to conquer the world, has become such a virtue in his descendants.

In fact, not all the emperors of the Song Dynasty were like that, Shenzong was just like that.After he came to the throne, because he was deeply dissatisfied with the weak politics, and he always admired Wang Anshi's talents, he ordered Wang Anshi to carry out reforms after he ascended the throne, in order to revitalize the Northern Song Dynasty.Because the reform was too hasty, the law was not right, and it ended in failure. However, Shenzong still maintained the new law for nearly 20 years.

At the time when Xia Huizong was in power, the mother party Liang's dictatorship, and Xixia's country was in decline, Song Shenzong ordered troops to attack Xixia, hoping to annihilate Xixia in one fell swoop.In Qingzhou (now Qingyang, Gansu), the Song army defeated the Xia army and occupied two thousand miles of land in Xixia.However, he suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle of Yongle City, and the move to destroy Xia failed to be realized.Afterwards, Song Shenzong wept bitterly in public in the court.He had ambitions, tried his best to govern, and wanted to destroy Xixia, but his ambition was not rewarded. He died of hatred in the eighth year of Yuanfeng at the age of 38.After his son Song Zhezong came to power, he tried his best to fulfill his father's will.

The main purpose of Song Shenzong's extermination of Xia is to eliminate a hidden danger, and then deal with the stronger Daliao and take back the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.Unfortunately, everything has become a loss.And the worst dishes here are those literati who are holding back. The policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs makes them not know how much they are worth.Otherwise, the future will look different.

Outside the bustling Tokyo Bianliang, a group of savages were shouting, roaring, and laughing.They are the golden army, a group of barbarians, who surrounded the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

What happened next, or the indelible shame that happened in Ji Qing's time and space, circulated in Ji Qing's mind, making Ji Qing's eyes turn red.

The Song Dynasty was the most cowardly and incompetent dynasty in Chinese history.The economy is rich, the literati are in power, the military is incompetent, they are foreign ministers, they pay food and respect, and they buy peace.By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was even worse!It has achieved the greatest shame of the subjugation of the Chinese nation and the near extinction of the species and the bullying of women.

In 1101 AD, Song Zhezong Zhao Xu died, and Prince Zhao Ji came to the throne. He was Huizong, and his reign was Jianzhong Jingguo.He took the treacherous official Cai Jing as the prime minister, and reused Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Yang Jian, Zhu Man, Li Yan, Gao Qiu and other treacherous officials and ministers, bringing the politics of the Northern Song Dynasty into the darkest and most decadent period.

In 1115 AD, after the Jurchens established the Jin Dynasty, they have been eyeing the Northern Song Dynasty.In November 1125 A.D., Jin divided his troops to the south in two routes, and the west route attacked Taiyuan Mansion from today's Datong, Shanxi Province.The Eastern Route Army entered Yanshan Mansion from Pingzhou.After the two parties agreed to capture Taiyuan and Yanshan Mansions, the West Route Army entered and exited Tongguan, went north to Luoyang, and the East Route Army, which crossed the Yellow River south and went straight to Tokyo, joined forces under the city of Kaifeng.The West Route Army met the tenacious resistance of the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians led by Song General Wang Zhi in Taiyuan City, and could not attack for a long time; the East Route Army reached Yanshan Mansion, and the Song Dynasty defender Guo Yaoshi shamelessly surrendered. Forcing the city of Bianliang in Tokyo.

After Song Huizong heard the news that the Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River south, he did not dare to personally take on the great task of leading the fight against the Jin and defending the country, so he hurriedly passed the throne to Prince Zhao Huan in an attempt to flee south.Zhao Huan ascended the throne for Qinzong and changed Yuan to Jingkang.At this time, the ruling and opposition parties exposed the crimes of the "six thieves" such as Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan, and Zhu Yu, and demanded that they be executed. Song Qinzong was forced to demote Cai Jing and others into exile or execution.

In the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Song Qinzong was forced by the situation to appoint Li Gang, the main combatant, as his personal envoy to deploy the defense of the capital.As soon as Li Gang arranged the defense facilities in the capital, the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang had already approached the city and launched a fierce attack on Xuanzemen in Kaifeng.Li Gang organized Kaifeng's army and civilians to stick to the city and start a fierce battle with the Jin army, repelling the Jin soldiers who attacked the city.Wanyanzong saw that Kaifeng was difficult to capture for a while, so he used the strategy of "attacking the war with peace talks". Song Qinzong was originally a faint king who feared the enemy like a tiger, so he hurriedly sent envoys to Jinying to discuss peace.But Li Gang resolutely opposed the peace talks with the Jin army. Song Qinzong used excuses to dismiss Li Gang's post as a battalion envoy and abolished the personal conscripting imperial battalion division presided over by Li Gang, in order to express his determination to negotiate a peace with the Jin people.

Song Qinzong's move aroused strong indignation among the soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng.Tai student Chen Dong and others wrote a letter at Xuandemen, requesting the reuse of Li Gang and the dismissal of Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others who advocated peace talks. Tens of thousands of people came to the palace to support and support Chen Dong, asked Song Qinzong to receive him, and smashed Dengwen Drums, killed dozens of eunuchs.Song Qinzong had no choice but to announce that Li Gang would be reused as Shangshu Youcheng, and Li Gang would be in charge of the defense of the capital.At this time, the army of 20 King Qin from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty had rushed to Gyeonggi one after another.Faced with this situation, Wanyan Zongwang knew that it would be difficult to capture Kaifeng with 6 soldiers and horses alone, so after obtaining the consent of Song Qinzong to cede the three towns, he led his army back to the north in February 1126, the first year of Jingkang.

Jin Bing returned to the north. Although the battle situation on the front line in Hebei was temporarily calm, the battle in Hedong continued to be tense. From February to July of the first year of Jingkang, the Song Army used 40 troops on a large scale to help Taiyuan three times, but was defeated by the Jin Army. , As a result, the main force of the Song army was exhausted.In June of the first year of Jingkang, Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty disliked Li Gang's strategy of preparing frontiers repeatedly, and on the occasion of aiding Taiyuan, he sent him as Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and Hebei, and forcibly drove him out of the court.In August, Li Gang was dismissed from his post as Xuanfu envoy of Lianghe because of his failure to join Taiyuan.Unexpectedly, two months later, the Jin army invaded the south again.Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang marched from east to west.At this time, Song General Wang Zhi had been defending Taiyuan for more than eight months. Because of the lack of food and aid, he was attacked on the third day of September.Wanyan Zonghan took advantage of the victory and went southward, approaching Heyang on the north bank of the Yellow River, which is today's Meng County in Henan.Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army also invaded Zhending Mansion, an important town in Hebei, which is today's Zhengding, Hebei, in early October.

The southward invasion of the Jin army has shown a posture of destroying the Northern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. However, Song Qinzong only wanted to surrender and did not make serious military preparations. As a result, the two Jin armies went smoothly to Bianliang, Tokyo without resistance. advance.In November, the East and West armies of the Jin Army joined forces under the city of Kaifeng and launched a powerful offensive.Due to the limited military strength and low morale in Kaifeng, Bianjing was breached soon.

Although the city of Bianjing was broken and the imperial court was still determined to surrender, the army and people of Bianjing did not want to be subjugated slaves, and their anti-enemy sentiments were extremely high, and 30 people demanded to participate in the war.Seeing that the soldiers and civilians in Bianjing were ready for street fighting, the Jin army did not dare to rush into the city.So the old trick was repeated, and the request for peace was proposed, asking for silver from the Song Dynasty.However, at this critical moment, Song Qinzong still couldn't wake up. He sent Prime Minister He Li to Jinying to beg for peace, but Wanyan Zonghan and Zongwang wanted Song Qinzong to go to Jinying to discuss the matter of reparation. Presented a form of surrender, and adhering to the will of the Jin people, ordered all the Qin Wang soldiers to stop marching to Kaifeng, and suppressed the people who spontaneously organized to resist, and then the Jin army searched the treasury inside and outside the Song Dynasty court, as well as the officials and private households. Gold and silver money and silk.At that time, it was the severe winter season, with heavy snowfall, the soldiers and civilians in Bianjing who had been taken captive were attacked mercilessly by hunger and cold, and countless people died of freezing and starvation.Song Qinzong's surrender policy caused the army and civilians in Bianjing to suffer untold disasters.

From November of the first year of Jingkang (1126) when Jin soldiers encircled the capital for the second time to April of the second year of Jingkang before the establishment of Zhang Bangchang’s puppet regime, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and Northern Song officials always fantasized about retaining power through mediation at any cost.

On the 22nd of the first month of the second year of Jingkang, the two parties reached an agreement, which stipulated that: (King of Jin) was allowed to exempt Daozong (Song Huizong) from going north, and with the prince Kang Wang and the prime minister as pledges, the Song court artifacts should be paid as tribute; In the south of the river (Yellow River) and Bianjing, there are two emperor concubines (princesses), four Zong concubines and four clan concubines, 500 court ladies, 500 female musicians, and 3000 craftsmen of various colors. Add 500 million bolts of silver and silk as a tribute; the original plan was to send one prince and one prime minister, and blood relatives of Hewai shouchen, to be dispatched at full speed and return after delivery; the original plan was to reward the army with 100 million ingots of gold and 500 million ingots of silver. It must be delivered and resolved within ten days.The additional conditions are: "If the number is not enough, one thousand ingots of gold will be allowed for the emperor and concubine, five hundred ingots for the concubine, two hundred gold for the concubine, five hundred silver for the wife, and five hundred ingots for the concubine. Two hundred ingots of silver for each woman, one hundred ingots for each of the noble relatives and daughters, at the discretion of the commander-in-chief."

From the 28th day of the first lunar month, the Northern Song Dynasty government began to implement the above agreement, and sent women to the Jin army camp in accordance with the requirements of the Jin people. The earliest sent were 24 singers from the families of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Wang Fu. ), as a female family member of Cai Jing's family, was also sent to the prince's (wolibu) village.According to historical records, Emperor Ji Fujin "shuddered and lost all color" when she saw Wulibu, and Wulibu ordered her servant Li to get Fujindiji drunk and raped her.Fujin Diji is the first princess of the Song Dynasty who was ravaged by the commander-in-chief of the Jin army in "Jingkang's Difficulty".

Back then, women were still not human beings, but accessories of men.In order to save their lives, the men in the Northern Song Dynasty sacrificed the dignity of men, and began to dedicate women to the enemy.Although Kaifeng government officials scratched the ground three feet, they could not satisfy the Jinren's demands.In order to survive, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong began to use women to pay off their debts.In addition to escorting all the court and clan women to the Jinying according to the jade certificate, Kaifeng government officials also searched for women from the capital and even married court ladies to make up the number.These women who were forcibly captured were "unkempt, unkempt, hungry, sick, and coveted to escape." In order to invite credit, Xu Bingzhe, the governor of Kaifeng, "made his own hairpin shirts, crowns, and fresh clothes" and sent his concubines to the palace. [-] women from Xia, Xia and Lehu were dressed up and sent out of the capital to be handed over to the Jin army.The Jin Army, who regarded himself as a winner, "selected [-] virgins from the [-] women selected, and the rest were eliminated into the city." just go.

Since they could not satisfy the gold and silver demanded by the Jin army, Song Huizong and members of the royal family could not escape this bad luck: at noon on the seventh day of February, under the close surveillance of the Jin army marshals Nianhan, Wulibuhe and tens of thousands of cavalry, Song Huizong led his wives and concubines, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and maidservants out of the imperial city. After being identified and checked by the servants, "the empresses, concubines, kings, and concubines all marched forward in chariots and sedan chairs; below the harem, cavalry galloped with their backs on their backs."During the handover process, Jin Bing also conducted a strict inspection of his luggage, and all gold, silver and treasures were "not allowed to be taken to Nanxunmen for delivery."Later, some palace and clan women who were hiding among the people were also successively searched out by Jin Bing.
