Swearing to Send Army

Swearing to Send Army

After a moment of pause, Zhang Shuye asked: "Since your lord has the ability to send troops to Yan Yun, why don't you go to Bianliang City to serve the king directly? The Jin soldiers have arrived near Bianliang City, and it is already a matter of siege in the city--"

Zhang Shuye delayed his tone and waited for the messenger to answer. He thought to himself: This messenger was probably a staff member and spoke eloquently.

The envoy asked replies without answering: "Has Mr. Zhang heard that? The official asked the inner official Liang Fangping to lead the army to the Yellow River defense line?"

Uncle Zhang replied in a whisper: "The newspaper has been published..."

Suddenly, Zhang Shuye choked. He had originally praised the official family for being decisive, but the messenger of Shideng specifically raised this matter. He felt something was strange inside. After thinking about it for a moment, he slowly sweated down: "No, the road is covered with snow and is wet and slippery. The Jin people came from the bitter and cold place in Liaodong, and were cavalrymen, and they were quick to move. At this time, they left the city and went to the wild to fight with the Jin people. There was no need to fight. The coldness alone would make the soldiers lose their combat effectiveness and be broken."

The envoy nodded: "At this time the country is in danger, the government is still doing only wrong things and not right. My master said that whoever goes to Bianliang to serve the king at this time is going to seek death. Do Lord Zhang agree?"

Uncle Zhang sighed: "The country is so dangerous that it is so dangerous. How can your elders cherish your body like this?"

The envoy replied calmly: "My master also said: The capital is not without soldiers. Over the years, the money for raising Taoist priests has exceeded that of raising soldiers. Taoists say that the government is an exiled immortal to descend to the earth, so it is called "Daojun". There are 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in the capital. If things are urgent, please ask the Taoist priests to do it and send 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to help. The golden man will definitely not keep a piece of armor."

Uncle Zhang said angrily: "When is it now? Your adult is still fake and not crazy."

The envoy smiled indifferently and replied: "The official family is doing something wrong. Now that is at this time, has the official family repented? If my elders send troops, at least they must ensure that the official family does not help the Jin people."

Uncle Zhang was so upset: "What do you want to do with your adult family?"

The messenger replied calmly: "The officials are making sacrifices everywhere. Although they have issued a self-destruction, they will not change their actions at all. My family believes that if the officials abdicate, they can ensure that there is no restraint in the capital. Otherwise, no matter how many soldiers they go to serve the king, it will be a gift from the officials to the Jin people. The disaster today is not the Jin people, but the officials. If the officials still act arbitrarily and only choose the wrong ones but not the right ones, I am afraid no one will dare to serve the king."

To be honest, Zhang Shuye himself was actually hesitating. The whole world knew that the emperor was unreliable. Zhong Shidao's behavior was the object of imitation. He had been hesitating whether to bring the few troops north to Bianliang. Now Shi Chuan said, "The national crisis lies in the official family, not in the Jin people." This rotation made him feel sympathetic, but the topic of denied the emperor was too big and it was difficult to make a decision for a while...

While hesitating, Zhang Shuye's housekeeper came to report: "Jingdong Road sent a second group of envoys, waiting outside the door, saying that there was an emergency notice."

Zhang Shuye hurriedly called the envoy, and the envoy informed him urgently: "Mr. Zhang, my master said there is no need to discuss the issue of the Yellow River Defense Line. Liang Fangping was defeated, and the Yellow River Defense Line no longer exists. The last 40,000 troops in the Beijing camp were in power, and less than a thousand people returned to the city."

"What? How do your adults know?"

The envoy bowed and replied: "My master was originally freight transport between the capital and Haizhou Jingying in Haizhou. There was a warehouse in my family by the Yellow River. The warehouse manager witnessed the war with his own eyes and said that Liang Fangping led 40,000 soldiers to march, and the soldiers were so cold that they could not even reach out. Suddenly, more than a hundred Jin patrol soldiers were encountered on the road. The front army collapsed immediately. He Guan, the chief supervisor of the rear army, immediately ordered to set fire to the bridge with gunpowder to block the Jin soldiers. Our soldiers were blocked by the fire and were mostly burned to death. Liang Fangping and He Guan fled back to the capital with only a hundred guards.

When my cargo warehouse manager saw this, he immediately sent off his mate and went straight to the beach to hire a boat to Dengzhou... Lord Zhang, my lord said that the fall of the capital was irreparable. The Jin people were cavalry, and there was no soldier in the capital. Even if our army set out to serve the king now, the road was covered with snow, and it was impossible to reach the capital before the Jin people attacked it."

Zhang Shuye’s confession made sense, but he still refused to give up and asked the first envoy: “Your master just mentioned sending troops to Yan Yun. Since Yan Yun went there, why can’t the capital arrive?”

The first envoy replied: "Mr. Zhang, you are going to Yanyun by sea. The sea is not frozen, but the Yellow River is already frozen."

Zhang Shuye was disheartened and said with a look on his face: "Okay, your adult family wants to abdicate, just do it. The memorial I wrote should carefully talk about the future way of fighting and defense..."

After a moment of pause, Zhang Shuye sighed and murmured: "After all, it's not the minister who knows... Hey, I don't know what the capital is doing now?"

The first messenger chuckled: "Sir, the capital city must be in chaos now--if there is no thunder sound, I'm afraid the capital city won't care."

Zhang Shuye was stunned for a moment and replied: "Okay, I will issue a memorial (I will publish the memorial directly in the newspaper)."

Uncle Zhang wondered what the capital is doing now. In fact, the capital is also doing things that are done during the time - forcing the palace.

When the news of the defeat on the front line came, Daojun was at a loss and immediately asked Dazai Bai Shizhong, Shaozai Li Bangyan, Taishi Tong Guan, and Privy Councilor Cai You, asking: How can we get rid of the predicament with the current plan?

The ministers that the Taoist emperor trusted the most were just kowtowed and silent - you should ask them how they flatter and praise the officials for their gloriousness and integrity. But asking them how to deal with the battle situation is beyond their ability.

The official parents sighed: Jurchen barbarians, how did I treat you badly? You are too cruel

The ministers curled their lips and smiled: Didn’t you despise the Jurchens in the past, but did you think they were easy to fool? Now you think they are cruel, so cruel that they are unwilling to let you fool them at will?

There was silence in the hall. After a moment of pause, an eunuch walked into the hall with a letter of Mingfa and carefully. When he saw the ruling Dazai Bai Shizhong, the young master Li Bangyan Taishi Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor Cai You, etc., he quickly handed the memorial on it, but the rulings rushed to the throne and refused to take over the memorial.

The eunuch whispered: "Several rulings should take the memorial, this memorial..."

Emperor Daojun saw the ruler and refused to do anything. He knew that everyone was trying to force the palace, so hesitated and said, "What memorial, read it?"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and replied: "It was the Jiangnan urgent report transferred by the Jingdong Road Transportation Department. Because he was worried that the road was incomplete, he made a memorial..."

"Mind", the Taoist lord said with pride and powerlessness.

The eunuch had no choice but to read it out loud, and the memorial said: The reply from the army that presided over the bandit suppression in Jiangnan - their army would be scattered out, and it would take two or three months to gather it. During this period, they could not serve the king... In fact, they would not come.

Huainan East Road Transport Department replied: The roads are covered with snow and the canals are frozen, so they cannot arrive at Bianliang in time... In fact, they are not here either.

In addition, there were Mingfa memorials delivered by various routes in the north: Shaanxi Road reported that Xixia was gathering heavy troops. They had no troops at first, and now they could not move. Taiyuan's side asked for help in succession. Wang Binglian, the left-behind Taiyuan, wrote several blood letters, claiming that the food was exhausted and the troops were exhausted, and asked for reinforcements.

All were bad news. Emperor Daojun was disheartened and waved his hand to let the eunuch go down, but the eunuch refused to leave. Daojun asked, "What's going on?"

The eunuch raised the last memorial in his hand and said timidly: "The officials from Jingdong East Road submitted a memorial, asking... to... ask..."

The Taoist Lord angrily rebuked: "Speak quickly, I want to see, the country is in such a crisis, what else do they dare to ask for?"

"Request Your Majesty to abdicate to thank the world"

Daojun shook his body, and the minister in the hall opened his mouth wide. Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui looked at each other and thought to themselves: It's bold at this time, and they really dare to say it.

Since the eunuch spoke, he took advantage of no objection and immediately said: "The official from Jingdong East Road said that His Majesty had dismissed Suzhou and Hangzhou and other supporters, but as soon as Fang La was eliminated, the official immediately restored all the bad policies. This time, the official issued an edict to guilty self-criticism. Although he admitted his mistakes and abolished Zhu Jie, he did not have to wait for the recovery afterwards? If he wanted to completely eliminate the bad things, the official could only abdicate and win the trust of the world."

Daojun suddenly felt dizzy and rolled down from the imperial throne. The ministers were panicked and helped the emperor to the harem bed and asked the imperial doctor to come for treatment. After working for a long time, Daojun woke up, drooled and could no longer speak. He asked for paper and pen and wrote with his left hand: "I have no right half anymore, how can I accomplish national affairs?"

The ministers remained silent. The stalemate was in the middle of noon. Daojun, who pretended to have a stroke, ordered the Crown Prince Zhao Huanquan to take the Kaifeng Mu. In the afternoon, Zhao Huan entered the court to thank him. Daojun also gave him a platoon jade belt that only the regent of the state is qualified to hold. But the ministers still said nothing about this. Yuwen Xuzhong, Li Gang and other court officials even advised: Your Majesty should give the crown prince more power, and just supervise the state, what should I do?

Daojun replied: "Okay, Crown Prince Huan can ascend the throne, and I will retreat to Longde Palace."

Retireing to Longde Palace was to be the Supreme Emperor, this was not "abdication" but "passing the throne".

In response to this, the ministers still answered silently with silence, while the rest of the ministers even stood by and watched.

Daojun was anxious and forgot to pretend to have a stroke. He suddenly jumped to the ground and said loudly: "Okay, Wu Min is a cadre promoted by me personally. He will definitely not let me down. You can ask him to write abdication edict and summon the crown prince to the palace."

The Crown Prince Zhao Heng received the edict to pass the throne, and according to the tradition, the first time the Jin soldiers began to cross the river. The imperial court had no leader due to the throne. To the north of Tokyo, to the east to Daming, and to the west from Heyang (now Meng County, Henan) to the west, a guard Song soldiers were gone; when the second time the Jin soldiers had entered Huazhou, headed north of Tokyo, to Daming, and to the west, and to the hundreds of miles of the Yellow River in Heyang (now Meng County, Henan) to the west, and a guard Song soldiers were gone.

At this time, the veteran princeling Yuwen Xuzhong advised Zhao Heng to succeed to the throne and take countermeasures. Zhao Heng replied: "No, the courtesy cannot be abolished. If I don't finish the 'three words and three resignations', I will be said to be 'the position is not right'."

This is also an orthodox Confucian concept. Yuwen Xuzhong could not refute it, so he had to let Zhao Heng continue... By the time of his third resignation, the Jin soldiers had already arrived at the city of Bianliang. Fortunately, the Jin soldiers ran thousands of miles, were trapped and exhausted, and they did not have time to attack the city immediately. Otherwise, Zhao Heng would not have to give in. At that time, the country no longer existed, and it would be meaningless to resign from the head of the country.

However, Zhao Heng was lucky enough to finish the "third resignation". When the Ming Dynasty fell, the new prime minister appointed by Chongzhen had not finished the "three resignations and three resignations", which no longer existed in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhao Heng should have been like the last "unfinished prime minister" in the Ming Dynasty. He could not finish this set of three words and three words and three words, but because of his impatience, he pushed him and made Zhao Heng take the last step urgently. He heard that Daojun had a stroke. Daojun's favorite son Zhao Kai was in a hurry. He surrounded dozens of attendants of the royal palace and rushed straight to the palace gate, trying to force the palace. As a result, he was led by the disgraceful "fire general" He Guan, who blocked the uninvited guests. Prince Yun Zhao Qi cried helplessly. When Zhao Heng heard the news, he urgently completed the "third order" that night...

On the 24th of the first lunar month, the official Shi Zhao Huan of Qinzong ascended the throne. In the morning, he summoned all the ministers in the hall and changed the year name. Zhao Huan said: Don’t call him Xuanhe. This Xuan brought the Jin soldiers to Xuan, which was unlucky. Then Zhao Huan took one word in "Poetry, Zhou Song. My General" based on the sentence "River Jing and the people of Yongkang" in "The Legend of the Condor He" and combined it to "Jingkang" to make a good speech.

Immediately, in the afternoon, Qinzong inspected the guard of honor of the three armies, immigrated the world, rewarded the ministers, and issued an edict to let the officials and the people speak freely, comment on the gains and losses of the government, and share the worries of the country...

In Dengzhou City, Zhao Shixia received an imperial edict from the court and lamented to Shi Chuan: "Our efforts have made it cheaper... Cough cough..."

Shi Chuan shook his head: "Who said Zhao Heng was cheap? I guess my memorial will be delivered to Bianliang at this time. At that time...hehe, let's go, let's go."

With the order of Shizun, the 300,000 army slowly moved. The first one was the 10,000 horses led by Sun Li. The horse's hooves rumbled on the snow and set out a straight route on the snow. The baggage soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and musketeers followed behind shouted loudly and sang military songs. Tens of thousands of boots stepped on the ground at the same time, and the earth trembled with their pace.

Lin Chong rushed over to Shi and said with a passionate voice to die: "Sir, I will take a step first, see you at the city of Bianliang."

"See you under the city of Bianliang", and you look relaxed.

Zong Ze stood up and laughed: "It's my turn. I'm going to take the civilians' supplies. It's time to leave. Sir, see you at the city of Bianliang..."

Shi Chuan nodded and immediately greeted Diao Hui: "All the generals are with me. You can move the government office to Huangxian. Remember to guard the Huangxian Diaolou Group. Jingdong East Road has the ability to fight, otherwise... Otherwise, you and I have to meet underground."

"Sir, the troops are about to be sent, why bother to say such unlucky remarks? Don't worry, I will definitely guard Jingdong Road."

Shi Chuan looked up and saw that in the distance, the horses were wearing thick white feathered clothes (down jackets), and even the war horses were covered with white plain cloth war skirts. Hundreds of thousands of men following the cavalry team carried their hands on their shoulders, and the long team could not see at a glance. Shi Chuan sighed lightly and told Huang Yu and Huan Niang who were left behind: "In winter, there are more than 200,000 Jin soldiers. If Taiyuan cannot defend, 60,000 Jurchen elites will be added. For my 300,000 soldiers, only 60,000 soldiers will be left. The key to this victory or defeat is food, grass, gunpowder, cold weather, and transportation of food and grass, and you will get rid of you two."

Before Huang Yu could answer, Huan Niang sobbed: "Don't worry, brother, I will never let my brother hungry."

Zhao Shixia sighed softly, and wanted to speak to his wife but stopped. He bowed his hand and turned around and horse.

After hesitating for a long time, although Shi Chuan was determined to rob the fire, he finally couldn't bear to see the bad luck of national culture. In this cold and cold weather, no one in the world responded to the opportunity to serve the king, so he was forced to send troops...
