    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As early as the first year of Tianjian, before China conquered the west, Zhao Gou, the emperor of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, had just moved to Changsha. Before he could revisit his old dream of being an emperor, he was shattered by an unprecedentedly violent riot.

    The rebellion between Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao broke out!

    This riot was slightly later than the original time due to changes in the historical trajectory of the Southern Song Dynasty.  However, no matter how the wheel of history deflects, it will inevitably crush a few obstructing stones and scatter them in all directions - because these "pebbles" have long been blocked in the middle of the road.

    Zhong Xiang, a native of Wuling, Dingzhou, is a "vegetable-eating demon" (i.e. Manichaeism). He claims to "have gods and heavenly powers that can save people from diseases." He is well-known in the local area. He is similar to the modern XX Gong and has gathered a large number of believers.  with disciples.  At that time, the vast number of farmers in the counties around Dongting Lake brought their own dry food and came to Wuling in an endless stream to worship "Rufa (religion)" and respectfully addressed Zhong Xiang as "Master" or "Heavenly Great Sage" (it seems to be missing  What a word).

    As early as the spring of 1127, Zhao Gou called on soldiers from all over the country to "diligently serve the king" in Nanjing (Shangqiu).  Prime Minister Zhong once organized 300 rebels, led by his son Zhong Ang, who rushed to Nanjing to support Zhao Gou in resisting the Jin soldiers' southern invasion.  Later, when the Jianyan court decided to flee south, it ordered the disbandment of the volunteers who came to "King Qin" from all over the country, asking them to "return to Yuan where they came from and pursue their own careers."

    Jianyan, the emperor and his ministers, thought that the world at this time was still the same as before, with soldiers and civilians coming and going when they were called upon. They were so naive.  Once people gather and realize the power of unity, it is not that easy to get them to disband.  These batches of volunteers who were ordered to return to the Yuan Dynasty eventually became the source of frequent riots and rampant banditry in Jingchu and Lingnan areas of the Southern Song Dynasty, accelerating the demise of the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty that moved south.  Lord Jianyan and his ministers really shot themselves in the foot.

    Zhong Xiang has long had his own ambitions.  Instead of disbanding the troops returning home in accordance with the imperial court's wishes, they continued to assemble, build strongholds for self-protection, and set up flags and armor to secretly prepare for an uprising.

    According to the historical trajectory, Zhong Xiang started the uprising in February 1130 - this was not an accident, but was determined by the current situation in Jiangnan at that time.  When it is.  At this time, the Jin army invaded the south on a large scale.  When Jianyan and his ministers were rushing south in a hurry.  Zhao Gou escaped by floating on the sea, and Wu used the technique of "searching the mountains and checking the sea". The Jin army crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jingnan from the two Zhejiang provinces.

    The golden man has iron hooves.  After trampling and ravaging the south of the Yangtze River to a state of disgrace, he took a large number of prisoners and looted, and returned to the north with great satisfaction.  In March, Yu Yangtze blocked Han Shizhong's attack, which kicked off the Huang Tiandang War.

    At that time, in the Jingnan area, the officers and soldiers fled far away, the people were displaced, and they fell into a state of complete anarchy.  Prime Minister Zhong chose to launch the uprising during the period when the Southern Song Dynasty's political power was most vulnerable.

    The above is another time and space.  The historical background of Zhong Xiang¡¯s uprising.  But in this time and space, a key change occurred - the Battle of Huang Tiandang was moved forward by two full months because of Di Lie's intervention!  The result of the war was extremely brilliant.

    The Battle of Huang Tiandang.  It shocked the world, not to mention the Song and Jin countries, one was ecstatic and the other was mourning for his heir.  Also frightened was Zhong Xiang, who was far away in Wuling.  At that time, Prime Minister Zhong had no idea what the relationship between Tianbo Division and the imperial court was. If such a powerful naval force entered Jingnan, the consequences would be disastrous, so he suppressed the idea of ????revolt.

    Di Lie also didn¡¯t expect that his intervention in the Huang Tiandang battle would unintentionally push back this major historical event by two years.

    In 1132, the Southern Song Dynasty regime moved southward.  The relocation of the royal family and the imperial court cost a lot of money. This is not something that can be done smoothly and calmly by just talking or raising a leg.  In addition, within one year, a large amount of supplies were delivered to China three times in a row, draining the Southern Song Dynasty's treasury, and taxes were collected for the next year.  To make matters worse, one of the most important grain producing areas, Chengdu, the land of abundance, no longer has a surname of Hua, not Song

    The negative consequences of such an accumulation of fiscal deficits are as stated in the Memorial of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time: "There are very few taxes and services, and rice is expensive. The price has increased by two thousand, but many soldiers have been raised. The military rations have been exhausted. Only one dou of glutinous rice is given every five days. Soldiers' wives  To make a living." "In the sixth month of Yimao in the second year of Shaoxing, there was a great famine. The price of stone and grain was eleven taels of silver, and the price of stone and rice was twenty taels of silver."

    With insufficient food and wages, the army mutinied frequently, and the army turned into bandits. The bandits had no military system, and the disaster was even more severe.  In the end, "a great famine occurred in the Jingnan area, and many people died. No matter how many counties or villages there were, they were all in ashes. Everywhere they came was dilapidated, and nine out of ten houses were empty."

    At this time, people in Jingnan were already boiling with dissatisfaction, but Huang Qianshan, who acted as a construction and procurement envoy, once again showed his nature of talking nonsense and wrote letters one after another, saying that the situation in Jingnan was very good. The implication was that if you want to move, you should get on your way as soon as possible.  .

    Therefore, the migrating army of the Southern Song Dynasty marched southward from Hangzhou in a mighty manner, some by water, some by land, and some by sea, each showing their magical powers.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Under such circumstances, they seized the opportunity, suddenly launched an uprising, attacked the relocated officials and merchants, and committed huge plunders.  With soldiers, money, and food in hand, Prime Minister Zhong's ambitions, which had been imminent for a long time, expanded rapidly. Just one month later, he couldn't wait to officially rebel, established the country of Da Chu, called himself the King of Chu, and made his eldest son Zhong Ang the crown prince.  The reign name is Tianzai, and the subordinates of generals, prime ministers and officials are established.

    Zhong Xiangjun declared that the national law of the Southern Song Dynasty was an "evil law".  Burning government offices, monasteries, temples and "homes of powerful right-wingers", suppressing officials, monks, Taoist priests, witch doctors, fortune-tellers, and landlords and rich people who have feuds.  The property taken from the bureaucratic landlords and returned to the peasants was called "equalization."  Zhong Xiangjun's actions were enthusiastically supported by the majority of people who were displaced and unable to eat enough, saying that this was "natural."

    Zhong Xiangjun first attacked Taoyuan County.  The county magistrate Qian Jingchi led the Baojia soldiers to suppress it, but was killed by Zhong Xiangjun and defeated the Song soldiers.  Two days later, Zhong Xiang's army captured Lizhou again, killed the Song defender Huang Cong, and successfully entered the state city.

    Previously, Prime Minister Zhong robbed officials and merchants, and could be said to be bandits. The court had many worries, so he might not have paid much attention to it. But this time, he killed officials and seized the city and became the king. It was completely different. This was a full-fledged rebellion.  ah!  What I didn¡¯t say, suppress!

    In March of the second year of Shaoxing, the central organization of the Southern Song Dynasty led by Zhao Gou rushed to Changsha in the dust. Before dusting off his dusty clothes, Zhao Gou issued three holy edicts in succession, ordering the deputy commander of the right army in front of the emperor, Yang Mijie.  They captured the envoys on the north and south roads of Jinghu and led an army of five thousand to kill Zhong Xiangni's army.  Li Yunwen, the visiting envoy of the Xuanfu Division stationed in Ezhou, was ordered to provide full assistance.  After Li Yunwen received the order, he did not dare to neglect it.  Immediately, Commander Gong An and the infantry were sent to Yiyang. Commander Zhang Chong led the warships into Dongting Lake, and Commander Zhang Qi led the navy into Likou to attack Zhong Xiang's army in separate lanes.

    In the original history, it was Kong Yanzhou who killed Zhong Xiangjun, but in this time and space, Kong Yanzhou's fate was bad.  Hitting the iron gate that Naihe closed.  He was hung in front of Jingxing Pass and dried to death.  However, Yang Mi's level is not much worse than Kong Yanzhou, and Zhong Xiang, a "rebel" without decent training.  But it is also the same as the original history, with little progress.  Therefore, his ending is also the same.

    At the end of April of the second year of Shaoxing, Zhong Xiang and his son were defeated and captured, and were sent to Changsha to be executed.

    When Zhao Gou heard the news, he was overjoyed and awarded Yang Mi the title of commander of the right army in front of the imperial court. The other subordinates who had made meritorious service in suppressing the bandits were given heavy rewards.  But before the emperor of Shaoxing could get over his joy, a larger-scale rebellion broke out again.

    Mrs. Yang (ie Yang Yao) is in trouble!

    Yang Tai was a young general who followed Prime Minister Zhong to "enter the law" and revolted.  Compared with Zhong Xiang, who only knows how to show off.  Mrs. Yang is quite courageous and strategic.  After the death of Zhong Xiang and his son, Mrs. Yang elected Zhong Xiang's second son Zhong Yi as the prince, calling himself the Great Sage Heavenly King.  Using Dongting Lake as a base, we collected wood and built warships.  The navy was trained, the stockades were separated, and a team of 8,000 people was formed, which gained great momentum.

    In May, knowing that Cheng Chang lived in Jingnan Prefecture, he sent a navy to attack Dongting, but was defeated by Yang Tai's chariots and ships.  Cheng Changqin fled back to Gong'an County alone and took a detour to Dingzhou by land.  Taking advantage of the victory, Yang Tai pursued him and went to Dingzhou Chengxia to launch an attack on the Song army.  Cheng Chang lived in the city and did not dare to fight.

    In June, the imperial court ordered Tu Zheyanzhi, a direct student of Longtuge, to serve as Hunan's pacification envoy and supervise the troops of Tan, Ding and Jingnan to go to Dongting to suppress Yang Tai.

    Zhe Yanzhi sent commanders Zhang Chong and Zhang Qi to attack Dongting Water Village from the upper reaches, and took control of Cui Zeng and Wu Quan, then led the navy to attack from the lower reaches of Dongting Lake.  After Yang Taijun learned about it, he put down three large boats along the river. There were no flags or guns on the boats, and there were no people on them. They were silent and crossed.  When the troops of Cui and Wu saw it, they thought that Yang Tai's army had been defeated by the officers and soldiers upstream, and empty ships were coming, so they launched their entire fleet of boats and rushed up one after another, fighting for the lead.  When they reached a wide area of ????the water, Yang Taijun's chariots and ships suddenly beat drums and shouted, wheeled their bicycles, and launched a fierce attack, quickly sinking hundreds of warships of various sizes.  The official infantry on the beach were also eliminated by Yang Taijun.  In one day, 10,000 troops of Cui and Wu were wiped out, and countless bows, arrows and armor were obtained, which was a major victory.

    The defeat of this battle shocked the Southern Song Dynasty court and caused panic in both the government and the public.  What made the emperors and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty most anxious and angry was that the Yang Taijun here used the Dongting Lake Water Village as a stronghold and grew crazily to more than 100,000 people with an astonishing speed.  The occupied area stretched from Gong'an to the north, Ding and Li to the west, Yueyang to the east, and Changsha to the south!

    That¡¯s right!  Yang Taijun has arrived at the door of his house!

    In August, following the policy of left prime minister Zhang Jun, the imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty sent Privy Council advisors, together with the Hunan pacification envoy Zhe Yanzhi, to Dongting to "recruit" Yang Taijun with official titles, gold belts, and brocade war robes. However, the price offered could not be achieved.  To Yang Tai's satisfaction, the recruitment failed in the end.

    Faced with such a critical situation, the public mood in the Southern Song Dynasty was fierce.

    Fangchou, a commoner in Jiangxi Province, wrote a letter and said: "There are two major problems today: Huaguo and Yang Tai. And Yang Tai is in the belly, so we must think deeply about it. If it is not eliminated for a long time, it will be difficult to cure." This is how Yang Tai died.  The riots rose to a level comparable to that of China. It is conceivable that this riot had an impact on the Southern Song Dynasty and the public.?Big.

    Zhang Zhiyuan, the imperial censor, also reported: "The invasion by the Chinese Dynasty is nothing more than scabies. If you make good use of medicine and stones, you can easily get rid of it. The common people are causing trouble because they are poisonous. If they are nurtured but not treated, it will be difficult to cure. Dongting was  After occupying it for many days, the people sent to recruit people were repeatedly dispatched, but most of them did not return. Every time the land and water troops advanced, no one dared to go deep."

    The words of Left Prime Minister Zhang Jun were even more alarmist: "Yang Tai is occupying Dongting Lake and actually occupies the upper reaches. If he doesn't get rid of it first, he will do his own harm and will not be able to build a country."

    In September, Zhao Gou finally made up his mind and ordered the left prime minister Zhang Jun to supervise the battle, draw 15,000 Liu Guangshi's imperial guards from the Yangtze River defense line, and return to the south to annihilate Yang Taijun with all his strength.

    With Liu Guangshi gone, what will happen to the Yangtze River defense line?  Zhao Gou's answer was - cold salad!

    It was extremely difficult and painful for Zhao Gou to make this decision.  He knew very well what the empty Jiang defense would mean once the Imperial Guards were lured south.  The hungry tiger in Jiangbei has been staring at the big piece of meat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, but due to the alliance and the full-scale conquest of the west, he has no time to pay attention to it.  Now that all the troops have been withdrawn, leaving only a few thin guards to show off, based on Zhao Gou's understanding of that person, he will never let go of such an opportunity, just wait and see what excuses he will find.

    "It's just like Li Qianshun of Xia Kingdom.  Does Zhao Gou have a choice?  Recruiting the most powerful army in the Southern Song Dynasty will at most mean losing Jiangnan; if we don't recruit it back, what we throw away may be the Dragon Throne. Do we still have to choose?

    ¡­¡­

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    In the Duo Hall of Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, Di Liean was sitting behind the dragon case, holding a military newspaper in each hand.  Look left and right.  Can't hide my joy.

    A soft and somewhat lazy voice came: "What makes Your Majesty so happy?"

    Di Lie looked up and saw two palace ladies carefully helping Queen Huanhuan into the palace.

    Di Lie quickly threw down the military report, walked down the slope without the image of an emperor, and hurried up to meet him.  There was a slight complaint in his mouth: "The weather is so hot and the queen is inconvenient, why did she come out? And she only brought two palace people with her."

    Huan Huan caressed her slightly swollen belly, shy but happy, radiant and stunningly beautiful - well, a woman who is about to become a mother must be the most beautiful.

    "It's only been four months, why should you be so nervous? Doctor Xu also said it. Sitting idle for too long is inconvenient, so you have to walk around." Huan Huan looked happy and peaceful, and spread her jade hands slightly, making the two  The palace maid stepped back, "There are many palace maids outside. I won't let them in so as not to disturb Your Majesty."

    Di Lie personally stepped forward to help Huan Huan sit side by side with him behind the dragon case.  If it were in the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, this would be absolutely not allowed, but in Duo Hall it is not that important.

    The two military newspapers were placed on the dragon case, but Huanhuan was very polite and did not dare to take a second look - Empress Zhu often reminded her and the sisters in the harem not to read what they should not read, and not to listen to what they should not listen to.  , don't listen, this is the way of the palace.

    Di Lie, however, didn't care and picked up a military newspaper, handed it to Huanhuan, and said with a smile: "Although it is a big event, it is a good thing. The queen will know about it sooner or later, so there is no harm in taking a look first."

    Huan Huan took it respectfully, and as soon as she glanced at it, she raised her head in surprise: "The Western Expedition Army has won a great victory, and the Xia Kingdom has been destroyed!"

    Di Lie nodded with a smile: "I didn't make a mistake. Yue Fei really didn't live up to his trust. If the twelve masters hadn't sacrificed their lives and made a long detour to penetrate the heart of the Xia Kingdom, this battle would still have to be fought."

    Huan Huanxi bowed her head diligently and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. Now that the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, the northwest will have no worries from now on!"

    Di Lie secretly thought, is there no need to worry?  I'm afraid not necessarily, but also Tubo, Xizhou Uighurs, Western Liao, and the Central Asian countries further west.  However, there is no need to let Huanhuan know about these things.

    "Perhaps Huan Huan was too happy, or perhaps it was Di Lie's previous acquiescence. After Huan Huan put down the first military report, she subconsciously picked up the second one. When her eyes touched, her face changed slightly.  He threw down the military report as if it was hot and hurriedly leaned over to plead guilty.

    Di Lie hurriedly helped her up: "Why is this necessary? I have already said that the Queen is inconvenient, so such a grand ceremony is no longer possible."

    Huan Huan's face was still a little pale: "I know that I am guilty and mistakenly peeped into a military plane."

    "It's not a military aircraft." Di Lie cut off Huan Huan's words, picked up the military report with his thumb and index finger, shook it, and said calmly, "A bandit rebellion broke out in Jingnan. Is your ninth brother there?"  Gotta be busy.¡±

    Huan Huan sat upright with her head bowed. She carefully raised her eyes to look at Di Lie's face, but hesitated to speak.

    Di Lie raised his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to speak up. I won't blame you."

    Huan Huan said softly: "Is the bandit rebellion serious?"

    "Yes." Di Lie nodded affirmatively, then chuckled, "But Queen, don't worry, the bandit rebellion will definitely be put down - although there is no Yue Fei, but to do this,It doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be Yue Fei.  "

    Huan Huan is confused, how does this matter have anything to do with Yue Fei?  Of course she didn't know that in the original history, it was Yue Fei who put down the rebellion of Yang Tai.

    Huan Huan bit her lip: "Will our country, China, advance into Jiangnan?"

    Di Lie stared at Huan Huan's bright and moving eyes and nodded slowly and firmly: "Yes!"

    To Di Lie's surprise, Huanhuan showed a relieved smile and bowed: "Thank you for your majesty's trust, that's fine - why should your majesty be surprised? I am the queen of the Chinese state, and the prosperity of the Chinese state is the result of Di Lie.  The well-being of our family. Is there any reason for me, my concubine, not to be happy about the expansion of China's territory, but to be worried about the loss of territory for my brother's dynasty?"

    The smile on Di Lie's face grew bigger and bigger, and he finally raised his head and laughed: "Okay! Very good! This is why I am so happy today. Come, I will accompany the queen to the imperial garden."

    The emperor and empress stood up hand in hand, looked at each other, smiled, and walked slowly towards the palace door.

    Outside the palace, the sun is shining brightly and the flowers and trees are fragrant.
