The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin suddenly arrived in Beijing, which made everyone in the Song court feel like monks. They were confused and a little idealistic. They thought that the Kingdom of Jin was showing mercy and wanted to return Yunzhou and other places to the Song Dynasty.
Of course, this is undoubtedly a foolish dream.
But, no matter what, since this brotherly country sent people here, the Song court should send them good wine and food.
What the ruling and opposition parties never expected was that on the first day, Zhao Huan probably hadn't even woken up yet, and the negotiation immediately collapsed. The two sides had a big quarrel, and the Jin envoys walked away angrily.
Before leaving, he only said one sentence, "You cunning Southern Dynasty people, just wait for our golden hoof!"
This is probably the most important thing the Jin envoy has said since the Maritime Alliance.
It’s a mess! It’s a mess! It’s all a mess!
In the past, when Wanyan Aguda was here, whenever he faced the Song Dynasty, he still had some room to spare and was unwilling to break up with the Song Dynasty. This made the Song Dynasty really take himself seriously, always making some small tricks, and often
I was convinced by my own cleverness. At that time, everyone was really calm and relaxed, chatting and laughing happily, and treating others like monkeys. Anyway, the Song Dynasty was really invincible in the world in terms of talking and talking.
But the attitude of the Jin Kingdom changed. He opened his mouth and said that he wanted to send troops to attack you. This frightened the entire Song Dynasty to death, and everyone was in chaos. It is said that the cowardly Zhao Huan was frightened after hearing the words of the Jin Dynasty envoy.
De Jiyu fainted and summoned the imperial doctor.
This happened too suddenly, and he had no psychological preparation at all, making him so fragile and overwhelmed.
After Song Huizong learned about it, he was frightened. He scolded Zhao Huan and quickly sent someone to retain the Jin envoy. No matter what, he must not be allowed to return to the Jin Dynasty.
This time, the arrogant Song court finally understood how much he was worth.
...
Just as Li Qi was sitting in the chairman's office, concentrating on how to hoard more food, a man suddenly broke in without knocking on the door. It was Qin Hui. He said in a nervous tone: "Sir
, something serious is going to happen.”
Li Qi frowned and said: "Qin Hui, you are really living more and more. You have even forgotten the basic etiquette of knocking on the door."
Qin Hui gasped and said, "My lord, please forgive me. Please forgive me. I was just too anxious."
Li Qi clicked his tongue and said: "Look at yourself, you are as virtuous as an idle man on the street. This is not a business bureau. Aren't you making people laugh? Calm down, calm down."
I couldn't calm down! Qin Hui almost cried and said: "Sir, I have to do this because I have to do this. The Kingdom of Jin - the Kingdom of Jin is going to declare war on me, the Song Dynasty."
Li Qi pretended to be confused and said, "Are you out of your mind? Okay, why would the Kingdom of Jin declare war on us? We and the Kingdom of Jin are still brothers. Don't say such things again."
.”
Qin Hui gasped and said: "This is absolutely true. It turns out that the Jin envoy came to Beijing this time to question us."
Li Qi snorted and said, "Asking for a crime? What crime do you ask for?"
Qin Hui gave a loud cheer and said: "This has to start with the sea alliance! Sir, you should also know. The Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom signed a sea alliance, and there was one article in it that stipulated that neither party was allowed to recruit
Accept the traitors of the other side, otherwise, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the alliance."
That’s it! Li Qi had already made a rough guess in his mind and nodded: “I know that, and we have always abided by our covenant!”
Be careful? We have never been careful from beginning to end. Of course, we can't say this. Qin Hui told the whole story very tactfully.
He said a lot, but he can sum it up in one sentence: If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
As we all know, in the last years of the Liao Kingdom, the Khitan people had been highly Hanized, and there were many Han people in the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, when the Maritime Alliance was signed, Wanyan Aguda was on guard against this. He knew clearly that once the Liao Kingdom was destroyed,
, the Han people living in the Liao Kingdom will definitely defect to the Song Dynasty. If a big country does not have enough population support, how can it be king? Therefore, Wanyan Aguda specifically stated in the covenant that no surrender or rebellion will be allowed.
Wanyan Aguda's concerns were by no means unnecessary. Facts have proved this. Since the Jin Kingdom was expanding too fast, it was impossible for him to occupy all the Jurchens he had. Moreover, everyone in the Jin Kingdom was in a hurry at that time.
Completely destroying the Liao Kingdom, there was no time to consolidate the territory they had conquered, so they treated the Liao Kingdom's surrendered generals very well. You don't even have to move your butt, just stay here and take care of it for me. I don't want your soldiers.
of.
But even so, those generals who surrendered to the Liao Kingdom were still in the Jin camp and their hearts were with Liao. They did not really surrender to the Jin. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom was not destroyed at that time, so they were all preparing troops and horses to regain their land.
Among them, Pingzhou General Zhang Jue is a representative figure. Although he was forced to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, he did not want to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, even though Wanyan Aguda gave him very courtesy.
After the land negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Jin army began to return to the court. However, the Jin soldiers had to rush to fight the Liao soldiers and could not spare the manpower to move the people of Yanjing for several weeks to the north.
So they simply let the surrendered Liao soldiers carry these people on their backs, which was equivalent to prisoners holding captives.
The people living in the Yanyun area were not willing to leave their homes, let alone live under the rule of the barbaric Jin people and work as slaves for them. So when they passed by Pingzhou, they found Zhang Jue, hoping that Zhang Jue could lead them to fight against the Jin people.
.
This is what Zhang Jue thought about day and night. He felt that the opportunity had come, so he mutinied and turned to the Song Dynasty. After all, they were all Han people. Although they had regarded the Liao Kingdom as their motherland, but the motherland was destroyed, they naturally turned to the Song Dynasty.
Song.
What kind of person is Song Huizong? He never thinks about things. He spends all day thinking about where to go to pick up girls and make elixirs, or to admire rocks. You must know that this camp and leveling the two states were the dream of the Song Dynasty. For this reason, they still quarreled with the Jin Kingdom.
Now that he could get it without spending a single soldier, he had already forgotten about the maritime alliance at that time, so he secretly ordered the Xuanfu Wang Anzhong of Yanshan Prefecture to take Zhang Jue in, and also changed Pingzhou to the Taining Army.
Not only that, the people in the entire Yanyun area at that time were unwilling to become slaves of the Jin Kingdom, so they rebelled one after another. Because the Jin Kingdom did not send troops to garrison Yanyun and other places at that time, these towns were all controlled by these Han people.
The common people guarded it. They replaced the golden flag with the Song flag. This city is mine and belongs to the Song Dynasty. They are so cute that they even wrote a memorial to Song Huizong.
Song Huizong was so happy that he was so happy. The land on the left and the land on the right came really fast. Oops, I, the Song Dynasty's 100,000 elites, can't win it yet. You guys can help me get them all this time.
You are back, and without any effort, you are much better than the elite of the Song Dynasty. So Song Huizong sent a letter of appointment to the left and a letter of appointment to the people, you will be the prefect, you will be the general,
And he also named them the Rebel Army, which is basically treating them as a regular army. You should guard me well, and I will never treat you badly.
It was great, but he didn't consider any consequences at all.
However, at that time, the Jin army was fighting against the Liao army everywhere, expanding its territory, and had no time to meddle in this business. When I came to my senses, I suddenly found that the good Pingzhou was gone, and many places had changed their surnames to Song.
What a crazy situation.
After Wanyan Zongwang learned all this, he was furious and quickly led his troops south, routing Zhang Jue's troops and horses, and recaptured Pingzhou within a few days. The common people's militiamen saw how ferocious the Jin army was.
Only then did they suddenly wake up and realize how much they had weighed. This battle would cost lives. They quickly sought help from the Song court.
But at this time, Song Huizong did something even more stupid. He turned a deaf ear to the people's pleas for help. He wanted soldiers and weapons, but they didn't have them. He wanted food and wages, and even more, he was afraid that the Jin soldiers would cause trouble for him, so he hurriedly
It was good to cut off the relationship with those people. Those people felt that they had been betrayed. They hated the Song Dynasty more than the Jin Dynasty and wanted to attack the Song Dynasty immediately.
However, none of this escaped Wanyan Zongwang's eyes. This was a great opportunity for him to regain people's hearts. Therefore, after he regained these lands again, he immediately asked Wang Anzhong, the magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture, to ask Zhang Jue and other leaders to take the lead.
When the weak Song Dynasty saw the Jin soldiers coming, they just wanted to put things to rest, so they killed all these people and sent their heads to Wanyan Zongwang, including Zhang Jue.
As a result, the Song Dynasty lost all the people's hearts in the Yanyun area. No one wanted to take refuge in the Song Dynasty anymore, and all their hearts turned to the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Zongwang began to take the opportunity to consolidate Yun, Ping, Yingzhou and other places. Not only did he not punish these people,
Instead, let them stay in their hometown, exempt them from taxes, and give them the best treatment.
When the people saw this, they immediately felt that the Jin Kingdom was a hundred times better than the Song Dynasty, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for them. It is conceivable that once the Jin Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty, these people would definitely take the lead.
Not only that, you must know that the resentful troops of Guo Yaoshi and others were also surrendered troops of the Liao Kingdom. When they saw you in the Song Dynasty, they sent people over like this, and they also added insult to injury and acted as the executioners of the Jin people. God knows what day you will
Would you treat me like this? Therefore, Song Huizong's move hurt the hearts of the people in the Yanyun area.
Although this incident caused a lot of commotion in the Yanyun area, it did not cause any waves in Tokyo. It can even be said that most people did not know about it. The reason was that the Wang Fu regime at the time did not want this matter to be known to its subjects.
, so as not to cause negative impacts, so it was kept secret, and all this was agreed upon by Song Huizong, Wang Fu and other ministers.
In addition, Wanyan Zongwang did not make much trouble at that time. After the Song court handed over the person, he gave up.
Since Li Qi did not have his current status at that time and was not involved in it, he did not know much about it. Although he heard about it occasionally, it had already happened and what else could he do.
Originally, time had passed and Song Huizong had forgotten about this matter. Unexpectedly, more than a year had passed since this incident, and the other party would actually come to ask for guilt.
This is reasonable and well-founded. When we signed the covenant, we agreed not to invite surrender or betrayal. You are undoubtedly breaking the covenant by doing this.
But Li Gang, a fierce man, argued with reason, saying that it was not me, the Song Dynasty, who recruited surrenders and rebels, but the other party who regarded the Ming Lord and returned. You yourself are unpopular, how can you blame me? I, the Song Dynasty, should not return people to you.
, Not only that, Li Gang also turned from defense to offense and demanded Yunzhou and other places from the opponent.
The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin were all very angry at Li Gang's awe-inspiring justice. I made it clear that I was here to cause trouble, but it was better for you to come here to cause trouble with me instead. The two of them argued until the end, and both yelled and almost started to fight. Later, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin
The envoy was too lazy to say, let's just meet each other in arms. This is the result they want.
