The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

'The child is dead, and the milk is coming'. After the Jin army retreated, all the civil and military officials in the capital knew in their hearts that now the "patriotic righteous men" in the world will soon go on a night and fight against the wind and rain, and work hard without hesitation and feel as if they are home.

The spirit of the country rushed to Tokyo to save the country.

Even overnight, there were stages set up everywhere, and the "loyal ministers and righteous men" appeared one by one, competing to perform, and the scenes were tear-jerking. Zhao Gou, the Grand Marshal's Mansion, went to Hebei, Jianghuai, Shaanxi, etc. at the same time.

The troops who served the kings issued a series of manifestos:

"The loyal ministers are deadly in danger; the bravery of the martyrs treat death as if they are home. Now the two saints, princes, kings, and close ministers are all detained in the thief camp and are about to be captured and plundered north. The ministers' hearts are full of anger..."

"I have previously served as the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses under the imperial edict. With a shout, the world responded, and millions of people were angry. Now, they have sent troops to gather the counties, guard the passes, burn the bridges, or fight against the Jin thieves.

In front, or follow behind, vow to clear a thousand miles and welcome the two saints..."

"The Marshal's order now: the generals and ministers, county magistrates and magistrates will jointly rule the brave and powerful people, and they will be loyal and righteous, sacrifice their lives and die to repay the dynasty's kindness..."

Now that the Jin soldiers have left, the command of the general attack of the Grand Marshal has finally been issued. Of course, there are more than Zhao Gou in the world. The scholar of Huiyou Pavilion, He Zhitong, the appeasement envoy of Yingchang Prefecture, and the direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion, Huaining Prefecture, Huaining Prefecture, Huaining Prefecture, the scholar of Huiyou Pavilion,

Zhao Zisong, Huiyouge direct scholar, Jianghuai and other road transport envoys and commander Weng Yanguo, and Dushui envoys Rong Yi gathered in Huaining Prefecture. After discussing, they decided to build an altar and a bloody oath to show their unity to resist Jin.

Soldier's determination.

It was a very solemn ceremony to make a alliance with blood, but before the ceremony began, something that was not solemn and not very heart-to-heart and moral happened. Weng Yanguo and Zhao Zisong fought for whom to be the leader of the alliance. Zhao Zisong

He believed that he was the fifth-generation grandson of King Yi of Yan and the Zhao Song clan, and wanted to be the leader of the alliance. His reason was: the Zhou Dynasty's sectarian convention was that the members of the royal family were the first, and the different surnames were the last.

Weng Yanguo realized something was wrong. Did Zhao Zisong want to take advantage of the country's chaos to plan for the throne? Therefore, Weng Yanguo refused to give in. Because he was just a prefect of Huaining, he refused to accept his command. This hit Zhao Zisong's thoughts.

Of course, I had to give a 'explanation'. In the end, He Zhitong was smart. He thought that King Kang was still in Jeju now. There was no need to recommend the leader.

He Zhitong's move was so powerful that Zhao Zisong was choked and couldn't speak. Yes, your Zhao Zisong is just a distant relative of the royal family. King Kang Zhao Gou is the son of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and the younger brother of Emperor Zhao Huan. It is necessary to discuss royal bloodline

.You are incomparable to King Kang Zhao Gou, so you gave up!

So they became a bloody man at the Huaining Prefecture Teaching Field, respected Zhao Gou as the leader of the alliance, and read out an inspiring alliance letter. Of course, it was the most severe condemnation of the Jurchens' atrocities, and then explained their own patriotic and loyal king.

They knew that the two emperors had been abducted and the Jin soldiers had retreated. However, they were still pretending not to know how to pretend that "the news in the capital is not communicated, and the king's order is isolated", and shamelessly said to "Gonggong safeguard the royal family to serve the ministers

Festival".

As the saying goes, literati should not be shameless, because they are shameless and elegant, shameless and passionate, especially shameless...

In the past month, soldiers from the capital gathered, and all kinds of teams came to serve the king. According to incomplete statistics, there were nearly one million people, so let alone whether they could go into battle. When these people arrived, they involved a basic issue.

A million troops have to eat, so what should they rely on to raise them? Without food, the hungry soldiers would go to the people's houses to rob them and go to the fields to cut them. Bianjing, who had just experienced the war, brought about another military disaster.

There is a saying, "raising ten thousand soldiers, spending money every day." At that time, the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury in the Song Dynasty were robbed by the Jin people. The treasury was basically in deficit, but the expenses of a million troops in one month would cost thousands.

Ten thousand yuan, this was undoubtedly an unmatched number for the national strength of the Song Dynasty at that time.

After recruiting these soldiers, the pseudo-Chu regime of Bianjing would not pay to support them, and they were poor, so they would borrow money from the Jurchens to borrow money from the Jurchens. Zhao Gou also stopped moving his troops, and he was frightened. The first thing he saw was not

The army can fight, but the army can eat. He doesn't know what happened to this million army, but he knows that the possibility of commanding this million army to welcome the Two Saints is very small. And these hundred people are very small.

Wan Dajun is more here to make a living. When they really went north, it was still unknown how many people they could be left, so they didn't dare to accept them.

Due to lack of food and salary, whenever military salary is paid, leaders of each division must be present to suppress it first, otherwise the soldiers will snatch it. At that time, the level, level, and all these things are useless, and the soldiers and officers will snatch it into pieces. Because I

Eat my life, if you eat your life, who will let whom?

At the beginning, the Zhongxing Army was just a "king-supporting army". The country did not give it to itself, and of course there was no obligation to support these people. However, whenever they had dinner, there were always many soldiers from other troops who came to surrender, and more were made for no reason.

Many soldiers and horses later, Zong Zenan returned to the imperial edict of the King of Qin. Now everyone found the main master and asked the King of Qin to eat and drink, but the King of Qin's rice bowl was not easy to serve, so I had to listen to me if I had my meal.

If so.

Deputy General Zong sent all these people to the counties in the capital to defend the Yellow River. It was not easy for everyone to make trouble when they scattered, but they finally had enough food! The problem is that the country has no money and the prince has not ascended the throne.

, unable to mobilize national resources, and the treasury in Bianjing had a cleaner face than him, which made Zhao Zhi suffer. He tried every means to raise food and money, and finally had to mobilize the caravan to Jiangnan to buy grain and transport it to Jingji area.

Spending money is a trivial matter. The problem is that the royal palace is now in Bianjing. Only the dragon generals are stationed here, with more than 10,000 people. If it were on the battlefield, this would definitely be a force that cannot be underestimated, but now it has received such a large number.

The territory seems to be powerless...

After receiving the order from the prince, the streets and gates of Bianjing City were covered with notices from Kaifeng Prefecture overnight. The empress dowager and the royal family who were traveling north were rescued by the King of Qin and would return to the capital soon.

The city was filled with joy and thunder. This was so surprising and inspiring. The people saw hope and hoped that the Empress Dowager and his relatives who were kidnapped by the Jurchens could go home.

At this moment, Zhao Ren had been replaced by Zhao Yong back to Bian Jing. After discussing with several people in the mansion, he led the two brigades of Long and the remaining Zong Ze to Huazhou to welcome the guards. Then the two led their troops out of Beijing, and the heavy responsibility of defense in the city was

It fell on Zhao Yi. But this burden was really not light.

The first and second brigades entered the capital after opening the city. They not only had to take on the responsibility of guarding, but also had to do some police work, patrolling the streets, catching bandits, and capturing the rebels. Four brigades left outside as mobile forces.

, deal with the Jin army and suppress the rebellion at any time, but one of the brigades followed Zhao Yong to chase Zonghan. Now, in order to welcome the Queen Mother Feng, two more brigades have gone, and the capital is no longer alone...

Now the Jin army is crucible by the Yellow River. Now it is entangled by the Zhongxing Army, and the external threat to Bianjing is very small, but there are still two internal forces around Bianjing that need to be wary of.

One is the army under the Grand Marshal's Mansion. They are numerous and have certain combat power. And now it is a sensitive period. If they are not done well, they will get fire. The other force is the defenders of the former Bianjing, which was later attacked by the pseudo-Chu.

The 20,000 imperial camp troops led by Fan Qiong, the four walls of the capital, suffered great losses in the offensive and defense with the Jin army. Most of them are newly recruited new troops, with weak combat power and low morale. However, they are stationed in

The place is sensitive and you must be careful.

Zhao Yi has always been in charge of military law and military affairs in the Zhongxing Army, and has a law enforcement team and a military intelligence department. Now the guardian of the officials of the pseudo-Chu is the law enforcement team under his command. The day after Zhao Ren led his troops to leave, he was responsible for guarding Fan Qiong.

A team leader in the mansion reported to Zhao Yi that the servants of Fan’s mansion frequently entered and left the crowd these days, which was very abnormal!

Zhao Yi had already had a tense string, so after hearing this, he asked him to continue to stand guard calmly. At the same time, he asked the Military Information Department to strengthen surveillance of the Imperial Camp Army, and informed the situation to Shunzi, the head of the Gyeonggi Department of Intelligence Department, and asked him to assist in investigating those

Who has the pseudo-Chu officials recently come into contact with?

It doesn't matter if the Intelligence Department intervened. It was soon found that not only the people in Fan Qiong's mansion, but also the people in Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe's mansion had been to the same place, and the people living in that place were the Grand Marshal's Mansion Jiyi Wenzi Kanglu

.When Empress Zheng was about to return to Beijing, he happened to appear and could not help but attract attention.

The two departments immediately dispatched personnel to jointly operate and secretly arrested the contact person in Fan Qiong's mansion. The man was summoned under the punishment. The people from the Grand Marshal's Mansion came to contact the pseudo-Chu officials. They didn't know what they had talked to others, but

Many important officials were involved. They asked Fan Qiong to launch a mutiny, expel the Zhongxing Army, and open the city gate to welcome the Grand Marshal into Beijing. Now Zhang Bangchang is still hesitating. Kang Lu, the special envoy of the Grand Marshal's Office, was very anxious and gave him a lot of money and promised the Grand Marshal to embark.

After God's throne, he will be granted a high-ranking official.

Fan Qiong was also loyal and righteous at first, and wanted to kill the enemy and make contributions to the country. Unexpectedly, after the battle, the failure of that surprise attack left a shadow in his heart, and from then on he was both shattered. The moat was broken

In his heart, this seemed to be a sign that the Song Dynasty was in danger and that God did not bless Zhao. If he worked hard for Zhao Song, he would have to destroy himself. So Fan Qiong's mind changed drastically and massacred the anti-Jin people in Beijing.

He forced all officials in the capital to pay tribute, and finally even drove the two emperors and concubines out of the city with swords.

Now that the empress dowager is rescued and is about to return to Beijing, Fan Qiong is also panicked. He knows that he has done too many evils and the empress dowager will not let him go. Now the only way to live is to surrender to King Kang, the enemy of the King of Qin, to save his life, and his letter of fame is to sacrifice his capital city.

To King Kang, he had also contacted Zhang Bangchang, but he was too timid and hesitant to refuse to express his opinion.

So Fan Qiong planned to go alone, and planned to mobilize troops on the fifth day of the fifth month, on the Dragon Boat Festival, to launch a mutiny, kill all the troops of the Qin King, and to welcome King Kang into Beijing before the empress dowager entered Beijing, and to be the first to become emperor, creating a fait accompli.

Even if Empress Dowager Shi comes, she can do nothing! King Kang's move is poisonous and Fan Qiong is stupid enough. He doesn't think that King Kang's parents were also sent to the Jin camp. Now he can coax him if he uses it, and sooner or later he has to settle the score with him.

.

Now that he has learned the news, Zhao Yi calculated the time. Today is the fourth day of the lunar month. It is too late to ask the prince for instructions. He immediately made a quick decision to transfer the Hezhong Army into the city to control the city gates, gathered all the troops of the Zhongxing Army in the city to siege them.

At the Imperial Camp, they were escorted out of the city and led their troops to the Fan Mansion to capture Fan Qiong, defeating a mutiny. Seeing that such a big disturbance was happening in the city, Kang Lu dared to stay, so he immediately ran away!

………

On the tenth day of the fifth month, the Empress Dowager Zheng Hongmei, escorted by the First Brigade of the King of Qin, went west to Xingzhou, entered Xinde Prefecture, and joined forces with Zong Ze, who was greeting him, to return to Bianjing. On the way, the people learned that

The empress dowager and prince who were traveling north, close ministers of the royal family, and thousands of craftsmen were rescued and returned to Beijing. They ran around and told each other, and cried with joy, all saying that the revival of the Song Dynasty was expected.

After returning to the capital, Empress Dowager Meng personally welcomed the palace gate. The two returned to the palace hand in hand. Empress Dowager Meng expressed her desire to return to the Zhao family, but Empress Dowager Zheng refused on the grounds that the country had no crown prince and the two emperors were still there. Empress Dowager Meng proposed to herself again

After abdicating, he was obeying the government. After Empress Dowager Zheng made three requests, Empress Dowager Meng still lived in the palace.

On May 15th, the dynasty was held on the 15th day of May. Empress Dowager Zheng officially came to the court to rule the government and announced the world that Xu Jingheng was appointed as the Left Chief of the Shangshu, Zong Ze was the Tongzhi of the Privy Council, and Zhao Ren signed the letter to the Privy Council. Chen Guoting was the Central Censor. King Qin was the King of Qin.

Zhao Qiong was the chief inspector of the palace in front of the palace to conquer the Jurchens and restore the old land. Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The palace inspector of the palace was only in his position after Taizu and no longer appointed real positions. This means

It's so deep!

At the same time, it issued an imperial edict to dismiss the officials of the pseudo-Chu regime headed by Zhang Bangchang and handed over to the officials for dismissal of the officials for the crime of being accused of the crime.

These people help the evildoer to be abused. They sell their owners for honor, sell their country, force the emperor to take the crown prince, insult the six palaces, take the concubines, and arrest the royal family. Theft of the secrets and bans the property can be said to be extremely evil. Fan Qiong, who wanted to raise troops to plot against the rebellion.

The sentence was sentenced to death and was executed in the city.

Empress Dowager Zheng resolutely dealt with the surrender faction who controlled the government after the Jingkang Incident, and then sent someone to welcome Li Gang to Beijing and let him be the prime minister. This appointment was finalized after Zheng Hongmei discussed with her son. Now the Qin Wangfu is a rank of the class.

They are all relatively low, mostly lack experience in working in the central government, and their qualifications are young, and suddenly entering the senior management may cause trouble, so Zhao Qiong hopes that they will make adjustments after a period of experience. However, several important departments

It cannot be lost.

The Song Dynasty established a country with Confucianism, and the number of people in the court who could truly practice the ways of Confucius and Mencius was minimal. It was even rarer to have a high official position as prime minister and still adhere to the ways of Confucius and Mencius. Li Gang was a true disciple of Confucius and Mencius.

He is not a hypocrite, nor does he have the element of showing off. Although he has not yet "sacrificed himself", he firmly achieved "for righteousness".

When the interests of "people", "country" and "jun", Li Gang regards the emperor's favor as dirt. In the position of "under one person and above ten thousand people" within the system, he will not cooperate if he does not cooperate.

At this moment, such a person is also needed to preside over the government. Moreover, in the first year of Jingkang, Li Gang defended Tokyo as the prime minister and advocated the anti-Jin resistance and was very prestigious in the court and the opposition. Taking him as the prime minister can demonstrate his determination to resolutely resist the Jin Dynasty, and it can also change the ruling of the court.

And the mainstream trend...

Besides, Li Gang was demoted from the capital and sent to Jian'an to settle down. The journey was long. Is there any plane at that time? It was not until this spring that I suddenly received the imperial edict from Zhao Huan, and he was restored to his official position and appointed him as the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall and the acting agent.

Kaifeng Prefect'.

Because the Jin army besieged the city, the news of the capital and the outside world was completely interrupted. Li Gang suddenly received the appointment and didn't know what was going on. In fact, Kaifeng had been broken at this time. But Li Gang was Li Gang. After receiving the order, he immediately abandoned all the individuals.

After returning to the north, he came to Hunan and found out that Bianjing was besieged, so he personally led the Hunan Wang Yi army to aid the capital. When he arrived in Fanchang, he heard the bad news that the capital had fallen, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

The army he brought with him by Li Gang could not be disbanded on the spot. In that case, most people would be in a dilemma of having no food to eat. At the same time, the soldiers were unwilling to be repatriated - they had already sacrificed their lives,

How could he go back dejectedly? After consideration, Li Gang decided to continue to go north to seek a way to rescue Bianjing.

When the ship arrived in Taipingzhou, he received the two emperors' journey north. Empress Meng listened to the announcement that King Kang would return to Beijing to ascend the throne, which made Li Gang feel mixed with joy and sorrow. Zhao Huan was still very kind to Li Gang; Zhao Ji also had old friends and ministers to Li Gang

Love; the two emperors went north and an era ended, and Li Gang's mood could not be uncompromising.

Shortly after moving forward, Li Gang received news that Jinling, not far ahead, was occupied by rebel soldiers. The rebels imprisoned the general Yu Wencuizhong, killed officials and residents indiscriminately, plundered the government, and burned countless boats.

The people and the people were robbed of all their property. Although they were later recruited, the thief still remained unchanged, and they often carried armor and killed them as usual.

Li Gang immediately wrote a notice to send it, asking them to follow their own restraint and join the ranks of the royal army. The rebels were frightened by Li Gang's daming and expressed their willingness to dismiss the armor and wait for the inclusion, but they were still not honest, so he and the people in charge of local affairs were in charge of

The fortune-teller Li Mian joined forces to kill 36 rebels, and the remaining disciples were more than 1,000 in command.

When he arrived in Jinling, Li Gang saw the official document of Empress Dowager Zheng being rescued and returned to Beijing to listen to the government to inform the world. He submitted a letter to discuss current affairs and discussed the mistakes in the strategy against Jin since the end of Xuanhe. He left Jinling and led his army north, and on the way, he was again

When I saw the announcement, I realized that I had been appointed as the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu and became the Prime Minister.

In the past, the Secretariat did not know that Li Gang had led his army to come, and all the documents given to him were sent to his exile. They received Li Gang's memorial in Jinling and realized that he was already close. So Chen Guoting took

He rushed to Jinling to greet him with a letter about the new appointment and the prince.

After hearing Chen Guoting's introduction to the situation in recent years, Li Gang arrived and changed things. Thinking of the situation where the King of Qin resisted the enemy in Hedong, and remembering his army's mighty and bravery, this was all left to him.

I was deeply impressed that now I went out to the foothills to fight in Hebei and rescued the empress dowager, so I recommended myself to the empress dowager as prime minister. I was really moved... (To be continued.)
