Chapter 46, Poor Road Invites the Northern Expedition


Chapter 25: Pindao invites the Northern Expedition The worries of the Song Dynasty were not in the Jinlu, but within the Xiao Qiang When he first heard this, Guo Jing couldn't help but feel excited and raised his eyebrows.

He thought he was talking about himself as an "immortal".

But when Prime Minister He Su continued to speak, he suddenly realized: This guy was originally worried about the people stationed in Hebei.

Kang Wang Zhao Gou.

In other words, in another more orthodox history, Song Gaozong would create the Southern Song Dynasty in the future.

In the autumn of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers marched south from Yanjing for the second time.

They swept through dozens of states and counties in Hedong and Hebei.

The Song Dynasty court was panicked.

While Song Qinzong prepared for war, he sent his ninth brother Kang Wang Zhaogou as an envoy to seek peace. , trying to make the Jin people retreat at the cost of ceding the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian and paying tribute to a certain number of "year-old coins" every year.

Obviously, such a small amount of things could not satisfy the greedy appetite of the Jin people.

The land of the three ceded towns had already fallen and became meat in the belly of the Jin soldiers, especially when the entire Song Dynasty was like a lamb that was unable to resist.

If you send an envoy to the Jin camp at this time when you are being slaughtered at will by the sword of the Jin soldiers, you will not only bring humiliation to yourself, but you may even risk your life.

Therefore, Kang Wang Zhao Gou walked slowly all the way, deliberately avoiding the southward route of the Jin soldiers, and stayed in Xiangzhou, Hebei for several days.

After that, he went to Cizhou and met Zhizhou Zongze, the die-hard main combatant.

While Zongze mobilized the people to block the roads and prevent King Kang from going north to sue for peace, he also persuaded Zhao Gou to raise the flag of resistance.

He used his status to call on troops from the five surrounding states to dispatch troops to Zhending, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and interfere with the Jin army's Tokyo strategy plan.

Zhao Gou, who was originally reluctant to take the risk of sending an envoy to Jinying, immediately followed the good advice, abandoned the imperial mission he was burdened with, and returned to Xiangzhou with Zongze.

He also roped in Wang Boyan, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, and formed a small group, claiming to Recruit troops and rescue Tokyo After Song Qinzong of Bianliang learned that Zhao Gou was so good at making opinions, Long Yan was naturally furious.

But at this time, the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River and was approaching Bianliang City.

The capital was crumbling and seemed to be destroyed soon.

In this extremely critical situation, in the spirit of urgent medical treatment, Song Qinzong had no choice but to hold his nose and admit Zhao Gou's self-assertion.

He also issued an edict on November 18, naming King Kang as the Grand Marshal of the Hebei Army. , Zongze and Wang Boyan were appointed deputy marshals, hoping that they could gather the remaining Song troops in Hebei and move south to Bianliang as soon as possible to relieve the imperial court.

In this way, Zhao Gou legitimately established the "Hebei Soldiers and Horses Marshal's Mansion" in Xiangzhou, Hebei, constantly gathered the dispersed remnants of the Hebei Forbidden Army, and recruited rebels, rural soldiers and militiamen from all over the country to wait until more than ten people besieged Bianliang.

Ten Thousand Gold Soldiers, Used by Doraemon Twenty-Two After centuries of interstellar war weapons were burned to ashes, the Song Dynasty court was shocked to discover that with the destruction of the Jin soldiers, there were only two remaining in the entire Central Plains east of Tongguan within the old Song Dynasty territory.

The military group confronted Qinzong of Bianliang and King Kang of Xiangzhou across the Yellow River.

What's even more terrible is that from a comparison of military strength, Song Qinzong controlled the remnants of the Capital Forbidden Army and the Southern Forbidden Army in Bianliang, while Kang Wang Zhaogou gathered many dispersed Hebei Forbidden Army and Guanxi Forbidden Army in Xiangzhou.

Each side has more than 10,000 regular troops as the core direct line, and tens of thousands of militiamen, rural soldiers, and volunteers as peripheral armed forces.

No matter how you look at it, they look evenly matched.

The imperial court does not have an overwhelming advantage.

Moreover, Song Qinzong had been on the throne for only a year, and he had been subject to repeated national upheavals since the beginning of his proclaimed emperor.

The throne was far from stable, and there were still many opponents in the court and local governments.

If internal strife breaks out in the royal family, the new emperor will not be able to mobilize the power of the country to deal with King Kang.

Therefore, under the current delicate situation, Kang Wang Zhao Gou, who is sitting in Xiangzhou and supporting his own troops, actually has the potential to aspire to the throne.

Of course, it only has this potential, and there is still a long way to go before it becomes a reality.

In any case, the central court in Bianliang has a great reputation, and naturally has an absolute political advantage.

If they really want to fight, the chance of winning is definitely more than 90%.

The troops raised by the Hebei Military Marshal's Mansion were also in response to the imperial court's call and were not Zhao Gou's trusted private soldiers: it had only been less than two months since Zhao Gou opened his mansion in Xiangzhou, and there was no time to train many soldiers who could follow him.

He found his way to Hei's close circle.

The reason why those reckless military leaders joined Zhao Gou in the palace of the Hebei Military Marshal was, firstly, to avenge the bloody plunder by the Jin soldiers, and secondly, they wanted to clear their identities and find an official position in the imperial court.

It would be okay for Zhao Gou to ask them to fight the Jurchens on the spot, and it would also be okay to let them go south to King Qin and rescue Tokyo.

But if Zhao Gou wants to drag them to rebel and usurp the throne, it will be extremely difficult.

If Zhao Gou really dares to raise his flag and rebel without any reason under such circumstances, then I am afraid that Deputy Marshal Zongze will be the first to arrest him and take him to Tokyo to plead guilty.

All the guys have to draw a clear line with this crazy prince.

Therefore, although King Kang Zhao Gou has gathered a lot of troops in Xiangzhou and is somewhat ready to make a move, he is still far from having the courage to directly go to Beijing to usurp the throne.

Not only does he not have the support of the scholar-bureaucrats in the court, he may not even have the troops under his command.

Will obey.

But on the other hand, since King Kang has no obvious signs of rebellion, the court cannot issue an edict without authorization.

They could only maintain confrontation while using political means to divide and dismantle Zhao Gou's small group.

This was the strength of the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty.

During this period, Zhao Gou could not be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, nor could he take advantage of the opportunity to turn a blind eye to the Hebei Army Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou and dispatch the few troops in Bianliang to cross the Hebei Expedition and regain the lost territory.

So who can guarantee whether Zhao Gou will see the emptiness in the capital and make up his mind to take a gamble and gather a group of buddies to go south to Tokyo and raid the "Qingjun side" of Bianliang?

After all, if the prize of victory is the throne, then even if the odds of winning are small, there are still people who are willing to bet their entire fortune.

Standing beside the imperial study room and listening to Prime Minister He Su's explanation, Guo Jing couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart.

Even now, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty have not forgotten their internal strife.

However, this just made his next move easier.

"Your Majesty, since the court is in such a difficult situation, we might as well let Pindao lead the people out of the capital and try to cross the river and go to the north."

After He Su retreated, Guo Jing took a step forward, bowed his hands, and said to Zhao Huan, who seemed a little dazed, "The Liujia magic soldiers recruited by Pindao were originally designed to expel the Tartars and march directly to the Yin Mountains.

The Jin people have long been discouraged, and there is hope for the restoration of the mountains and rivers.

However, the imperial court is suffering from a shortage of troops and domestic constraints, and it is difficult to take advantage of this opportunity.

How can I not continue to work hard to solve the problems for the imperial court and the officials?"

s: Comments on the recent battlefield in Iraq: The key to victory or defeat is indeed people.

Recently, the extremist terrorist ISIS rebels easily occupied Mosul, a key town in northern Iraq and the country's second largest city.

The ISIS rebels, with a total strength of only more than 10,000, not only occupied a large territory in Syria, but also occupied a large territory in Iraq.

It has the potential to sweep across the country, and the speed of its power expansion can be called a miracle.

Regarding the battle of Mosul, the Iraqi Prime Minister was angry Angrily declared: The fighting lasted only one day, and the local government troops had surrendered.

The army commanders had fled before the fighting began.

They even abandoned weapons, ammunition, armored vehicles, and their strategic positions. , they left all this to the terrorists, and even Mosul Airport has been occupied by terrorists.

Next, taking advantage of the victory, the 800 lightly-armed terrorists advanced and defeated the 30,000-strong Iraqi Imperial Army.

There was a dramatic and gorgeous scene in which the light infantry used rifles and grenades to defeat the US-armed and heavy-armored troops.

Encountered 800 rebels, they abandoned their armored vehicles, tanks and heavy artillery, and turned around and fled in droves.

It is said that more than 3,000 people were captured in the end, and thousands of them were "educated" to join terrorists.

A hilarious record of a tank losing to a Toyota pickup truck and eventually being blown up with a grenade.

There is no way, no matter in which era or in which region, the Imperial Army seems to never be able to defeat the guerrillas.

This is true in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

It can be seen that the theory of weapons alone is not omnipotent.

The key to determining victory or defeat on the modern battlefield really lies in people.

Fortunately, most of China's enemies are this kind of thing, such as the curved strawberry soldiers, neon civil servant soldiers, etc.

Of course, there are also conspiracy theorists who claim that the unprecedented defeat in Mosul was the result of the Iraqi side being forced to lose on purpose.

The Americans have seen the Syrian rebels retreating steadily in recent times and are at a serious disadvantage.

The Syrian civil war seems to be ending with the Arabs.

It ended with Sade's victory.

Therefore, the Iraqis were ordered to defeat the battle as soon as possible in order to send arms to the rebel group "Isis" whose territory spans the two countries, so as to continue to create obstacles for the Syrian government.

Well, although it sounds absurd, if the big boss behind the rebels is really the United States, then the Iraqi government forces will not lose unfairly at all.

Regarding the authenticity of this hypothesis, I think you can tell whether these terrorists entrenched in Mosul are Americans after all, whether they will take advantage of the situation and go straight to Baghdad, or whether they will turn around and return to Syria to fight with Assad.

The dogs they raise are truly anti-American fighters.

At present, the Iraqi government forces have launched a counterattack, engaging in a very technical Operation Leapfrog, sending paratroopers to launch airdrops behind enemy lines in an attempt to retake Mosul, but they don't know whether the next step will be to repeat the prelude to the Battle of Dien Bien Phu or to repeat it.

The Rhythm of Operation Market Garden On the other hand, the Iranian army has also crossed the border to launch a war of suppression against the rebels.

It has been strongly protested by the United States, demanding that it stop "acts that undermine peace" as soon as possible.

Perhaps this group of terrorist rebels who were originally affiliated with Al Qaeda are really Iran and Iraq, the old enemies who have become the thugs of the US empire, will join forces to fight against the American soldiers and bin Laden's disciples.

The reality is indeed stranger than the novel. oshow7:
