Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Today, His Majesty Ning Zong, Zhao Kuo, is not a strong emperor, because Zhao Kuo himself was forced to the throne by the two powerful officials at the time.  At that time, Zhao Kuo's father, His Majesty Guangzong, Zhao Dun, was still alive. However, he was dethroned from the throne by his grandmaster Zhao Ruyu and his relative Han Zhouzhou because he behaved inappropriately during the mourning period for his father, His Majesty Xiaozong, Zhao Dun.  After Zhao Kuo became emperor, he basically lived in the shadow of Zhao Ruyu and Han Yuzhou.  Later, Zhao Ruyu was overthrown by Han Kanzhou, and a few years later Han Kanzhou was killed by Shi Miyuan. The military and political power of the Southern Song Dynasty still did not return to His Majesty Dao Ningzong, but most of it fell into the hands of Shi Miyuan.  At least, regarding the attitude towards Jin, Shi Miyuan¡¯s attitude basically determined the trends of the entire Song Dynasty court.  The Southern Song Dynasty teamed up with the Jin Kingdom to send troops to Shandong, which was also the work of Shi Miyuan.  Judging from Shi Miyuan's own experience, although the Song army was weak, it was still able to bully its own people. This time it was teaming up with the Jin Kingdom to deal with a small Shandong rebellion, which should be no problem.  But when the troops were actually dispatched, Shi Miyuan realized that things were not that simple.  First, although the Jin Army¡¯s cavalry, the main force, reached the banks of the Daqing River, they were unable to enter Shandong because they were blocked by the Yellow River waterway.  Although the Song army that was attacking from the south had many naval forces, these Yangtze River naval forces were unable to adapt to the water flow of the Yellow River for a while.  Moreover, the Song Army's vehicles and ships were far less fast than the Yingzhou Army's ships. Even though key parts of the Yingzhou Navy's warships were equipped with iron armor, which greatly increased their weight, they were still much faster than the Song Army's vehicles and ships.  Furthermore, the Song Army was used to being lazy and had almost no military literacy!  As a result, facing the wolf-like Yingzhou Navy, after several tentative contacts, the Song Navy ended in a complete defeat.  After being beaten to the point where he was almost unable to fight back.  The navy of the Song Army finally calmed down and just huddled in the camp every day, living in peace.  But if this stalemate continues, the already low morale of the Song Army will be reduced faster and faster. If the Song Army had not been implementing a system of tattoos and harsh punishment for deserters, I am afraid that the Song Army would have begun to collapse.     and.  Even if the Song army could maintain the current situation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers stayed on the front line, eating horse food every day. The consumption was huge, which was a big burden for the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.  There is no way, the Song Dynasty was poor!  A few years ago, Han Zhouzhou launched the Northern Expedition, which consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources and was ultimately defeated.  Everything was in vain.  Later, in order to negotiate for peace, Shi Miyuan not only gave Han Kanzhou's head to Jin Ting, but also servilely asked for an increase in tribute. In addition, he also gave the Jin Kingdom an additional five million taels of silver every year to "reward military expenses."  It should be noted that under the rule of the Small Court of the Southern Song Dynasty, except for the areas of Jiangsu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, other places such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou were basically barren.  For those places.  The small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty only maintained superficial rule, and generally the officials were exiled.  Only then would he go to work there. As for taxes and the like, you basically don¡¯t have to count on them!  It is precisely because of this that the life of the small imperial court in the Southern Song Dynasty was quite difficult, and in the end they had to rely on the indiscriminate issuance of Huizi (the kind of banknotes that were not accepted).  As the prime minister of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.  The hard work of printing and distributing Huizi was made possible by Shi Miyuan!  Because of this matter, Shi Miyuan was stabbed in the back by the common people!  At this moment, hundreds of thousands of troops are spending time on the front line, and money and food are spent every day. Shi Miyuan feels so distressed!  "With so much money, if you move it all to my house, how many acres of land will you be able to buy?" "No! You have to find a way to prevent the money from going to waste like this!" "But, what should I do?  What's wrong? Just cut off the frontline military pay and put the money into your own pocket. That's definitely not possible! If there's a mutiny or something, I'll have to take the money and spend it without my life!  It¡¯s probably not possible for the country to withdraw its troops! Do you know the master¡¯s country? Well, it¡¯s a dog slave. Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!  It¡¯s okay, why are you rebelling? You¡¯re really just looking for trouble! If the Jin man wants your real estate woman, you still dare to resist. How sad!  I don't know how many hairs have turned gray, and Shi Miyuan didn't come up with a good solution.  At this moment, another bad news reached Shi Miyuan¡¯s ears.  "Hangzhou fell? What did you say? Hangzhou fell? How is this possible? Could it be that the Jin people came here? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If the Jin people had such a powerful navy, they would have defeated our Song Dynasty long ago.  destroy?!  Why wait until now?  " "Go back to the master, it's not the Jin people, it's those gangsters from Shandong!  They came from the sea, went up the Qiantang River, went directly to the city of Hangzhou, and then raided the city at night!  It has occupied Hangzhou city for four days now!  It was also because the subordinates had not received any news from Hangzhou for two consecutive days that they became suspicious and spent a lot of effort to find out this bit of news.  "The person who reported the news was a mysterious man who was shrouded in darkness. Judging from his tone and demeanor, he should belong to Shi Miyuan's close confidants. "Shandong bandits?  How can this be?  How can this be!  " Faced with Shi Miyuan's unbelievable look, the man in black didn't say much, but only gave Shi Miyuan a firm look. After the initial panic, Shi Miyuan quickly calmed down. Looking at this confidant  With his eyes, combined with his understanding of this confidant, Shi Miyuan knew that there was probably nothing wrong with this matter!  Problem. It¡¯s definitely impossible to suppress it. Even if it can be suppressed today or tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? Sooner or later, the news of such a big thing will leak out. What I have to do now is to spread the news.  Think of a countermeasure before you start! "I still don't believe it. When I falsely conveyed the imperial edict and killed Han Yuzhou, I was able to survive it. Instead, I was promoted to prime minister. Now, for such a trivial matter, your majesty can still kill Shi."  Why not?  "    "Well.  Got it!  To kill Han Zhouzhou before, Shi borrowed the power of the current empress, so why not do the same thing again this time!  " With this idea opened, Shi Miyuan quickly hatched a detailed and meticulous case. Afterwards, Shi Miyuan rushed into the palace without stopping and secretly discussed with Empress Yang. "It is also that His Majesty Ning Zong today is too wasteful.  What a talent. His Majesty Ningzong was helpless when a foreign minister like Shi Miyuan openly colluded with the palace. Even when an important minister like Han Yuzhou was killed by falsely transmitting the imperial edict, His Majesty Ningzong was unable to pursue him in the end.  Shi Miyuan became more and more unscrupulous. I don¡¯t know what Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang discussed. The next morning, Shi Miyuan pretended to give a memorial to His Majesty Ning Zong.  His Majesty also pretended to glance at it, and he didn't seem to be too surprised. He just told Shi Miyuan in an understatement, "This matter is of great importance, and I have to trouble the Qing family to consider it!"  " Shi Miyuan responded with a "Yes" and didn't say much. As for the civil and military officials in the court, most of them were confused. They didn't know what the riddles these two foggy people were playing. After the court dismissed, Shi Miyuan said  All his subordinates, including the "Three Fierce" and "Simu", gathered together and held an emergency secret meeting for a long time, and then Shi Miyuan's gang started to rush into Lin'an City.  They rushed around to gather people and arrange money and food, and dozens of elite cavalry rushed out to the various military towns around Lin'an. Around Lin'an Prefecture, there were four prefectures, namely Qingyuan, Shaoxing, Jiankang, and Pingjiang.  There are many troops stationed in the second Jiankang Prefecture. Especially Jiankang Prefecture, which was originally Yingtian Prefecture, was once the capital of Zhao Goushi, the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.  Most of the team. This time Lin'an Prefecture sent out eight hundred miles to rush, but within two days, all four prefectures received the news. Then, all four prefectures rushed to Lin'an.  At the same time, a 20,000-strong imperial army marched out of Lin'an City and crawled slowly towards Hangzhou City. The total distance from Lin'an to Hangzhou was only fifty or sixty miles.  Although the imperial army marched at a turtle's speed, after three days of climbing, they still reached about 20 miles outside Hangzhou City. At this time, the 10,000 troops sent by Shaoxing Prefecture, which was closest to Lin'an, also arrived.  They had already arrived at Lin'an City and began to approach the uninhibited troops coming out of Lin'an City. After receiving this news, Liang Chengda finally breathed a sigh of relief. As one of the "Three Evils", Liang Chengda could be said to be Shi Miyuan's.  An important confidant. Although he was a sycophant, Liang Chengda himself was not uneducated at all. In fact, he was quite good. He was a Jinshi in the Kaixi period, but Liang Chengda was able to become the chief administrator of Zongzheng Temple.  It wasn't because he was well-educated, but because he immediately fell in love with the traitor Shi Miyuan. Moreover, Liang Chengda was very clumsy. He always regarded himself as Shi Miyuan's retainer and seemed to be very proud of it.  After Shi Miyuan, LiangIt can be said that he does a lot of bad things. He tortures to extract confessions, frames loyal people, accepts bribes, buys and sells officials, seizes people's property, etc. There is nothing this guy won't do!  And it was done quite cleanly and thoroughly.  Liang Chengda acted like this. Even Li Zhixiao, who was known as the "Three Evils" together with Liang Chengda, frowned and said to the people around him, "Although I am not a good person, I still have a little bit of talent."  The bottom line! Liang Chengda, that¡¯s really the lowest limit! I¡¯m really afraid that the old man and that bastard Liang Chengda will be recorded together in the history books of future generations!¡± In a word, this  Liang Chengda is the kind of boss who has sores on the top of his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and is really bad!  But Liang Chengda also has one advantage, that is, he knows how much he weighs!  Being forced to fight by Shi Miyuan this time, Liang Chengda also knew that with his own abilities and the 20,000 forbidden troops under his command, he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything big!  So, Liang Chengda marched slowly, preparing to join the other armies behind and march together.  Now that he heard that the army from Shaoxing Prefecture had arrived, and it was only half a day's journey from where he was, Liang Chengda finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered his sergeants to set up camp and be on high alert, waiting to survive the night, and then contact Shaoxing Prefecture.  The coming Forbidden Army unites together!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ¡ËUpdated quickly¡Ë¡ËPure text¡Ë
