Chapter 1807 I haven't seen the imperial court's pardon, and I feel sad
The reason why Xiao Tang deliberately pointed out Ma Kuo's identity was because according to detective reports, although he claimed to be loyal to the Song Dynasty, Ma Kuo was actually still a fugitive imperial prisoner from the imperial court.
It was also all because of the Shangguan Xiangong whom Yue Fei met for the first time when he joined the army. Liu Ziyu, the father of Liu Ziyu, the adviser of Zhang Jun, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposer, and other senior officials of the Song Dynasty had already impeached and criticized Ma Kuo for "inviting captives to offer the city" (historical works of the Song Dynasty). Volume 32 of "Three Dynasties Beimeng Huibian", Ma Kuo personally wrote "Mao Zhai's Autobiography" and put him in prison. Although Ma Kuo later escaped from prison, he rushed to Hebei to persist in the anti-Jin war. On the front line, however, he has not yet been recognized by the officials as a court official. Even now, if he falls into the hands of the Song Dynasty and is sentenced to death, it is not impossible.
This was not because Liu Kai, the pacification envoy of Zhending Mansion, and other senior officials of the Song Dynasty at the time intended to persecute and frame Ma Kuo. After all, he had a close relationship with Ma Zhi, a rebel minister from the Liao Dynasty who surrendered to the Song Dynasty. The loyalty of the Han people in the Song Dynasty, and Song Huizong gave his imperial surname as Zhao Liangsi) also served as Tong Guan's right-hand man who initiated the strategy of uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Instead, he sought skin from the tiger. After the Jin army launched a brazen invasion of the south, those who had tried their best to promote it The courtiers who teamed up with the Jin Kingdom to break the contract and attack the Liao Dynasty became the guilty officials who were blamed and severely punished. Back then, they were so arrogant in the court that they were as arrogant as a young woman, but they were still deposed and had high titles and official positions. They died in the Xiaotang Dynasty and were executed. Under the sword of the emperor; Zhao Liangsi, who had received a great reward from the official Zhao Ji for giving him a national surname, was still unable to avoid being demoted to Chenzhou for execution. It is also conceivable that Zhao Liangsi, who was also one of the earliest liaisons with the Jin Kingdom, was If Ma Kuo had not escaped from the official prison of the Song Dynasty, he would probably have been executed by the imperial court.
However, Ma Kuo, who was extremely foresighted, had already realized the serious threat that the Jin Kingdom would bring to the Song Dynasty after it destroyed the Liao Dynasty through his understanding of the Jurchen tribes. He first bluntly stated that the Jin army must not capture Yanjing and then redeem it with annual coins. If the land of Yun can be taken, it must be taken alone, so as to strengthen the prestige of China and the Yan and Jurchens, so as to avoid the danger of being slighted in the future. If it is not possible, it must be urgently repaired and prepared for the border. We cannot make small gains at present without guarding against distant dangers. When negotiating with the Kingdom of Jin, he argued with reason without being humble or overbearing, and at the same time he tried his best to persuade the Kingdom of Jin to repair border affairs and boost the power of the army to ward off the Kingdom of Jin, which was still in a friendly alliance. Being carried away, Ma Kuo's suggestion was never adopted. Until the Jin army actually launched the southern invasion, the official who had been the most diligent in negotiating with the Jin Dynasty was beaten from beginning to end. Ma Kuo, who was in the period, also took the blame... After all, no matter how strong and upright the courtiers in the Song Dynasty were, they could not infer a person's character from the beginning to end of his life story like Xiao Tang. To them, Ma Kuo is also a major criminal who brings trouble and invites wolves into the house and must be punished with serious crimes.
Even if according to the trajectory of the official history, Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty, who urgently needed to recruit the support of King Qin's troops, no longer pursued Ma Kuo for his crime of fleeing as a guilty person, but he never gave him any support, which ultimately led to Ma Kuo leading the resistance against the Jin Dynasty. When the Yishi moved from Hebei to fight on the Jingdong Road, they were defeated and fled south. After returning to the Song Dynasty, although he served as the commander-in-chief and counselor of the Appeasement Division of Erguang and Guangxi in Henan, he was even given an "unnecessary" title by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty because of the "Miao-Liu Mutiny" during this period. He was relegated to a remote place because of the crime; he soon abandoned his official position and returned to seclusion. Even if he had to be appointed as a counselor to the Jianghuai, Jingzhe and Zhejiang military governors, it was not until his later years that he accumulated meritorious service and served as a personal guard officer, Lizhou observation envoy, and Jinghu Nanlu Ma Infantry Army. However, the Song Dynasty had no intention of entrusting Ma Kuo, who knew the Jin Dynasty well, with important tasks. After the treacherous Prime Minister Qin Hui came to power, he resigned from office and went into seclusion. After wasting nineteen years, he finally passed away with regret. Compared with what he had done, In the first half of his life, Ma Kuo's deeds were quite legendary. After Ma Kuo returned to the Song Dynasty, he was suppressed and humiliated, and he could no longer work hard for his long-cherished wish to resist the Jin captives and regain the lost land...
However, in the official history, Ma Kuo was originally unjustly convicted. He was imprisoned and later demoted and released. The current situation is even more serious for him. After all, the current team of the Song Dynasty government is not because the two emperors and most of the important ministers in the court
Being captured by the Jin captives and heading north, King Zhao Gou of Kang was able to establish a different policy for the government and completely change his appearance. Liu Kai and other important officials who were also famous anti-Jin generals but advocated severe punishment and severe punishment of Ma Kuo are still occupying important positions in the court. I am afraid that now
Ma Kao kept saying that he "swore to do his best to live up to the officialdom", which was just wishful thinking to reveal his feelings to the court.
Xiao Tang thought about it in his mind, and then said: "Now Ma Kuoshang is still a criminal who escaped from the crime. Although he is trying to serve the Song court again, he has not yet been punished by the official. Since the court now only cares about itself,
Bao, it is impossible to estimate that he was an anti-golden righteous man who was deeply trapped in the occupied territory, and he was not allowed to have any title... According to me, let's go to the meeting first and explain it to him.
It is not impossible to move him emotionally and persuade him to submit to us and we can work together to achieve great things. Even if Ma Kuo is still obsessed...he should be well aware of the current dilemma.
.At any rate, we must let them know that we do not want to hurt the sincerity of the loyal and martyrs who have worked hard for the country. As Saburo said, taking it by force is the best strategy. Such people would rather die than be humiliated.
If you are lenient, you can still be careful, but if you are urgent and difficult, it will be difficult to achieve results."
After hearing what Xiao Tang said, Shi Xiu suddenly raised his head and said quickly: "Brother, are you planning to go and meet with Ma Kuo in person? Although he is considered a good man who dares to risk his life and fight against the golden captives, he is afraid
It's hard to think about. Now that we have broken the relationship with the imperial court, and since Ma Kuo was convicted by the imperial court, he still made a move to show his foolish and loyal thoughts. If he tried to seek credit from the imperial court, there is no guarantee that he would not do it.
Take the opportunity to harm your brother."
Xiao Tang only thought about it for a moment, then shook his head decisively, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so detailed. I guessed that Ma Kuo's previous deeds, and I know that he has a general understanding. Even if he was serious enough to be appointed by Song Ting Kuanxu,
But to say the least, even if he has evil intentions, it is impossible to get rid of him. Even if something unexpected happened to me when I went to visit him in person, then our army will be leaderless, lest all the efforts made in expelling the golden captives will be wasted and all the gains will be made.
They will only go north to the Jin captives. I think even if Ma Kuo is still unwilling to betray the imperial court, with his foresight and sagacity, he probably will not let the Jin Kingdom profit from it. In order to regain the imperial court's forgiveness and employment, he will not hesitate to teach others to gain fame and fame.
The land of Heshuo was once again ravaged by foreign invaders? I thought that Ma Kuo... would definitely not be the kind of traitorous villain who is foolishly loyal to the court and obsessed with profit."
As he said this, Xiao Tang was also thinking about this strange man, Ma Kuo, who was involved in the vortex of the struggle between the three great powers when the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to conquer the Liao Dynasty. He was also the first to personally experience the dramatic changes in the state affairs of the Song, Jin and Liao dynasties.
Not only was he able to rely on his courage and eloquence to work hard to help the country and the country by attacking people, he was also able to escape when he was imprisoned by the Song Dynasty for being unjustly accused of compromising the city, but he still had to organize
Hebei Anti-Jin Yiyong fought fiercely with the foreign invaders. After all, he was not the kind of dogmatic, foolish and loyal minister who had to die if the king asked the minister to die, and whoever the king wanted to die, the minister had to die...
.In fact, they do have some things in common with each other. Now, while Ma Kuo is just staring blankly and hoping to return to the court, let's take the initiative to sincerely recruit each other's long-cherished wishes and original intentions. I think Ma Kuo can also do it.
Can listen...

In the countryside outside Pingji City, Zhaozhou Government Office, there are large areas of abandoned farmland. Because it was previously occupied and ravaged by the Jin army, and was recaptured by the Wuma Mountain anti-Jin warriors, many Song people have been displaced and few people are cultivating it. In the city,
Temporary sheds built to accommodate refugees were spread out in a mess on the inside of the gate, and there were patrolling rebel guards above the city head, all guarding the main roads in and out of the city as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Although the defenders on the city seemed to be in good order, many of them had complicated expressions on their brows and whispered to each other from time to time. During this period, some people couldn't help but speak loudly, and there was always something in their words.
Contains keywords such as "Xiao Renxia", "Dog Tatar", "Bird Imperial Court", etc.
And in the government office hall of the prefecture, there was also a leader who was commanding the volunteers here. He lowered his head and thought, suddenly sighed, and murmured: "Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang, I really admire you...
The brave men and women from Wuma Mountain and other places are all willing to follow me to drive away the golden captives without risking life and death. However, it is very difficult to rouse the morale of the army to control your troops and horses..."
