Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 402 This June, Jingkang Again
Zhao Ding, the prime minister of the current dynasty, is named Yuanzhen.

Not many people know about this person, just because he is a literati.Although it is said that among the literati, there are also celebrities who are famous for thousands of years or have been infamous for thousands of years, relatively speaking, Zhao Ding was neither exiled to the North like Wen Tianxiang, nor was he notorious for thousands of years because of "unnecessary" charges like Qin Yu, and even his poems His literary talents have not been able to be passed down through the ages.

But he was the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. At least before June 1138, he was still the prime minister Zhao Ding.

In Lin'an in June, the sun is scorching like fire.

Although there are already famous generals such as Han Shizhong and Yue Pengju, Zhao Gou is still unwilling to follow Zhang Jun's suggestion and set the capital in Jiankang, which is the later Nanjing, because it is next to the Kingdom of Jin, and Zhao Gou is worried that he will be defeated all the time. Without paying attention, he stepped on the back road of the second emperor and became a prisoner of the golden man.

So he finally chose Lin'an, Hangzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, as his capital.

It stands to reason that Lin'an is very safe here, with famous generals and warriors in front, surrounded by guards, even if it is "singing flowers in the backyard across the river", it can be sung for many years without exhaustion.

But even so, Zhao Gou was still a little worried. He was always worried that one day the Jin army would march south, and he was always worried about whether his subordinates would support themselves.

Fortunately, there is another person beside him who can relieve his worries. This person's surname is Qin, and his single name is a word.Speaking of Qin's coward, most people in the world only know that he was a treacherous official who killed Yue Fei.But in fact, Qin Yu is very complicated.In his early years, he was also a true loyal minister. He accompanied the Second Emperor in exile in the Kingdom of Jin, did many good deeds for the Second Emperor, and prevented some disasters.

As for why Zhao Gou trusted Qin Yu so much, the key to this was because Qin Ji had been by Zhao Gou's side when he escaped from the Kingdom of Jin. The relationship between the two of them was inherited from that time.About the story between Zhao Gou and Qin Shou, even a 200 million-word book may not be able to tell it all. There are many versions in history about why Qin Shou was able to accompany Zhao Gou to escape from the Kingdom of Jin, and there are many conspiracy theorists among them .

But from the perspective of historical development, it is extremely unreliable to say that the Kingdom of Jin arranged for Qin to accompany Zhao Gou to return to the south to establish a puppet Song Dynasty. Unless the person who formulated this strategy in the Kingdom of Jin is a lunatic, he will believe it. A mere Qin traitor will definitely be able to control Zhao Gou.

In real history, the Kingdom of Jin failed to completely destroy the Song Dynasty until the end. Instead, it was because Song and Jin fought for years, so that Mongolia was given a chance to rise. In the end, both countries were destroyed in Mongolia. Under the cavalry.

Therefore, it is possible to say that the Qin gangster was a pawn arranged by the Jin people, but it is by no means completely correct.

Judging from the things that Qin Ji had tossed about in the Southern Song court in the second half of his life, he was indeed suspected of being a "Song traitor", but it could not be ruled out that Zhao Gou instructed him to do many things.

Just when Liu Wei led the army to conquer Tubo and pointed his sword at Panxi, the Jin Kingdom, which had just swallowed up the puppet Qi Kingdom, sent envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Qin Yu was serving as a privy envoy, and the special envoy of the Jin Ren was received by Qin Yu in person and recruited to Lin'an.The edict brought by the special envoy of the Kingdom of Jin this time contains a lot of content.

For example, Song Weizong Zhao Ji's coffin, of course, Zhao Ji himself is also in the coffin.In addition, Jin Guo will also return Zhao Gou's biological mother, Webster.

In addition to these two things related to the royal family, in terms of territory, Jin Guo is willing to give part of the land that originally belonged to Wanyan Zhenzhuer, the puppet Qi emperor, including the areas south of the Yellow River and north of the Huai River, to the Southern Song Dynasty court. to rule.

Don't look at the fact that Jin Guo is quite generous on the surface this time, but his heart is sinister!Just talk about the conditions he offered.

Zhao Ji's coffin, what's the use of Jin Guo keeping it?Is it possible that a big gold country is still short of this coffin book, or is it going to be used for barbecue?As for Zhao Gou's own mother, let alone, she is old and poor, and she has to spend money to pay for it. After all, she is also an enemy, isn't she? And return it to Zhao Gou, let Zhao Gou take care of himself.

As for the land, the Jin people's thoughts are even more obvious.

Back then, the reason why we wanted to create a fake state of Qi was because it was a headache for the Jin people to consciously manage these areas?When Liu Yu was there, why didn't the Jin people say to return these lands to the Song people?That's because Liu Yu can manage it and bring benefits to the court of the Kingdom of Jin.

Now, the court of the Kingdom of Jin has long lost its binding force on Wanyan Zhenzhu'er, and he has no choice but to take back the false Qi Kingdom.But after taking it back, he found that he still couldn't manage it, since he couldn't manage it, then let someone who can manage it!

Jin people don't care, but Song people do.Since Song people can take care of it, let Song people take care of it!Of course, such a large piece of land can’t be given to you Song people for free, right?

Therefore, after the Jin people took out so many "gifts" and expressed so much "sincerity" of themselves, they naturally spoke to the Southern Song Dynasty court.

Perhaps in the eyes of Qin Yu and Zhao Gou, the Jin people's requirements are not too high.However, Zhao Gou was required to cancel the title of emperor and country, proclaim himself a minister to the Kingdom of Jin, and pay tribute at the same time. To sum up, there are four points in total, three of which can be achieved by just nodding his head and opening his mouth.

Isn't it just not being the emperor anymore, isn't it just canceling the title of the country, isn't it just calling himself "son emperor"?These things, in the eyes of Qin and Zhao Gou, are nothing!
As for those things about paying tribute, it is even simpler. With so much land taken back, there is no need to increase troops every year to support a large number of troops. The saved money should be distributed to the suzerain country, which is also appropriate.

So in the eyes of Zhao Gou and Qin Yu, this business is not a loss in general.

Of course, from Wan Yanquan's point of view, Jin Guo is not at a loss.Although in name, the land of the Puppet Qi State was given to the Southern Song Dynasty, but once the Southern Song Dynasty agreed, it would be tantamount to adding a larger Puppet Qi State, so why not do it?

Besides, if the Southern Song Dynasty is settled, the army of the Kingdom of Jin will not have to fight southward all the time, but they can turn around and settle places like Xixia and Mongolia, which means that the land area is larger. A great achievement, a name left in history.

This is really a win-win thing. As long as Zhao Gou signs it, the agreement will take effect.

However, in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were so many hard-nosed people who were unwilling to accept Jin Guo's kindness and disagreed with this win-win plan.

Among them, Zhao Ding, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was also included.

Zhao Ding is resolutely against proclaiming himself a vassal to the Kingdom of Jin, not to mention proclaiming a vassal, in Zhao Ding's view, there is no need to negotiate a peace!In today's Southern Song Dynasty, a group of truly capable generals has emerged, such as Han Shizhong, Bi Yuefei, and Wu Jie, etc. These people have matured and each is their own.

Relying on the prosperity of the Jiangnan area, as time goes by, the balance of victory will gradually tilt until the Southern Song Dynasty once again surpasses the Jin Kingdom in terms of overall national strength. It is not impossible for Huanglong to uproot the Kingdom of Jin and even rule the world!
Although there are many villains in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are more courtiers and generals who are willing to go along with Zhao Ding's idea. They are closely surrounded by Zhao Ding, with Zhao Ding as the core, and firmly oppose the negotiation of peace and the signing of such a power-defeating and humiliating agreement. protocol.

It's a pity that Zhao Ding and others are in vain under the family system.

Although Zhao Ding is the prime minister, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, but the person above him, the person named Zhao Gou, will no longer be the prime minister with one order, and he even stays in the The central government has no right to continue to speak, and was directly exiled to Quanzhou by an edict to serve as the magistrate.

What kind of place is Quanzhou?

Anyone with a little common sense may have heard that Quanzhou is the future Fujian, a place adjacent to Taiwan, the treasure island. Basically speaking, being an official in Quanzhou is equivalent to being exiled, only compared to being exiled directly to Hainan Island. A little better, there is no hope in this life.

When Zhao Ding was kicked out of Lin'an, he looked up to the sky and cried, respectfully sent off his officials and people, and formed a long line outside the gate of Lin'an.

"Return to the sky on the tail of the skip, and the spirit becomes the mountains and rivers to strengthen the dynasty"

These two lines of poems were written by Zhao Ding to himself. This is when he was demoted again and again, from the prime minister of the country to the Jiyang army. Before I went on a hunger strike and committed suicide, I wrote a "Mingjing" to myself.

It stands to reason that "Ming Jing" should be written by others after death, including official titles, biography, etc., but Zhao Ding was unwilling to do so. In his letter to his son, he frankly believed that he would not die. , Qin Yu will not be at ease, and will even use his family to make a fuss, and I am afraid that it will affect the family in the end. Now that the matter has reached this point, then he will die if Zhao Ding dies, the only one is "Ming Jing" , must use these two sentences written by himself!

Alas, in ancient China, the emperor wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. Too many famous ministers often died at the hands of the faint emperor.

Zhao Ding, the mistake is that he met an emperor like Zhao Gou, who might really be able to help the Zhao family and establish the world. Unfortunately, the final ending of a generation of literary heroes is in Sanya, Hainan Island, this remote place called "The End of the World". In the land of the dead, the living hunger strike died!It is really the sorrow of the nation and the lament of history.

Of course, Zhao Ding's death came later.After Zhao Gou and Qin Yi drove Zhao Ding away, they couldn't wait to sign the agreement sent by the Jinren!
If the unequal treaties signed by the Qing government in the later generations were "a loss of power and humiliation to the country", then the agreement Zhao Gou signed with Jin Guo at this time is not enough to describe it with these four words!Just because according to the terms of the agreement, once it takes effect, Zhao Gou is no longer the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and there is even no such country as the "Southern Song Dynasty" at all!

The power must be gone, forfeit the power!The country is gone, so how can we talk about "humiliating the country"?Aixinjueluo still retains at least one national character, and can use this character to make the great powers "humiliate" and "humiliate", but what about Zhao Gou?It's really a shame that I threw it into the coffin of my ancestors!
