Chapter 428

When Zhang Bangchang was emperor, more than ten female relatives including Zhao Ji's concubine, Li Chunyan, were given to Zhang Bangchang by the Jin people and made him the pseudo-hunter. After returning to the Song Dynasty, Zhang Bangchang naturally could not recognize this title, but the friendship between the two was still there. One day, Zhang Bangchang got drunk and provoked Mrs. Li again. Mrs. Li said to Zhang Bangchang: "Brother, now this is the case, don't reminisce about the old relationship." Mrs. Li was not a person who was not nostalgic and arranged for his goddaughter Chen to accompany him.

When Zhang Bangchang saw Chen, his body had already been half-fried, and she also poured wine with her eyes and raised her eyebrows. She couldn't help but feel drunk. After drinking several cups, she pretended to be lying on the mat and pretended to be drunk. Seeing that Zhang Bangchang was drunk, Mrs. Li helped him up with Chen, hugged him into Funing Hall, let him take a nap, and asked Chen to serve him. Zhang Bangchang had originally been interested in Chen, so he pretended to be like this. Seeing that Mrs. Li had gone out, she jumped up and hugged Chen. Chen was half-spoken and achieved good things.

Zhang Bangchang was residing in the East Prefecture. Mrs. Li gave him a private message and slandered Zhao Gou. Zhang Bangchang was demoted to Tanzhou and lost all his power. Someone told Zhao Gou about this matter. Zhao Gou immediately arrested Mrs. Li and ordered the censor to interrogate him. Mrs. Li had no choice but to confess all of her. So Zhang Bangchang was punished with more crimes, and Ma Shen went to Tanzhou to order him to commit suicide, and killed Wang Shiyong and others. Mrs. Li was also stolen from the skeleton and sent to the military camp.

Lu Haowen had accepted a false order and was impeached by the Censor Wang Bin, so he asked for dismissal. Zhao Gou issued an edict to him to be the governor of Xuanzhou. The Song Qiyu was a Jin people, and wrote down Zhang Bangchang's name in the first letter. He was also sentenced to prison and was killed in the East City. Zhao Gou posthumously awarded Li Ruoshui, Liu Li, Huo Anguo and others. Zhao Gou appointed Li Gang and appointed him as the right servant, and ordered him to be the imperial camp envoy. Li Gang also tried to repay him, and he said everything he knew and said everything he said.

Li Gang requested the establishment of the Hebei Governor's Office and the Hedong General Secretary. Zhang Suo and Fu Liang were specially recommended to serve as the two. Zhao Gou ordered Zhang Suo to be the Hebei Governor's Office, Wang Gui as the Hedong General Secretary, and Fu Liang as the Deputy Envoy. Zhang Suo was from Qingzhou and was once a Jinshi and served as the Censor's Office. Zhao Gou ascended the throne and sent Zhang Suo to inspect the tombs.

After returning to the court, Zhang Suo gave a memorial: "Hedong and Hebei are the foundation of the world. In the past, they misused the trick of treacherous ministers and began to cut off the three towns, and then cut off the two rivers, causing public grievances to penetrate deep into the bone marrow. Until now, they are regretful. If they use the people's hearts, they can use them to defend them. Otherwise, the soldiers and civilians in the two rivers will lose hope and your Majesty will not succeed." He also said that there are five advantages to return to the capital, and believed that the safety of the country lies in the strength of the army, the wise and unworthy generals and ministers, not in the whether to move the capital or not. He also submitted memorials to list the interests of the two rivers.

Zhao Gou planned to hand over his suggestions to him. Zhang Suo discussed that Huang Qianshan was not available, and he might be harmful to the new policy. Zhang Suo offended Huang Qianshan, and Huang Qianshan slandered Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou then dismissed Zhang Suo's position as censor and was changed to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of War. Soon, Zhang Suo was demoted to the Deputy Envoy of Fengzhou Tuanlian and placed him in Jiangzhou.

Later, Li Gang joined the court and recommended Zhang Su to follow the two rivers. He felt embarrassed because he once accused Qian Shan of attacking Qian Shan. One day, he calmly discussed with Qian Shan and said: "Now there is no one in Hebei, only one Zhang Su can be used, but he has to pay for his crime because of his crazy words. He had to try him first, let him rush to recruit and make contributions to redeem his fortune. Isn't that great?" Huang Qianshan agreed.

So Zhao Gou appointed Zhang Su as Zhilongtu Pavilion and served as the Hebei Pacifier. He gave him millions of money to the inner palace

shou, sent him more than 1,000 blank names to inform him; he was appointed as the guards of 3,000 soldiers in the west of the capital, and was allowed to appoint him to his subordinates, so that he could act according to the opportunity. Zhang Su went to the palace and Jin to see him, and submitted a memorial to explain the pros and cons. Zhao Gou gave him fifth-rank official uniforms to see him off, and appointed Wang Gui of Zhi Se Pavilion as the staff officer of Xuanfu Department to assist him.

Zhang Yiqian, deputy envoy of Hebei Transportation, relied on Huang Qianshan's intentions and reported that Zhang's residence was in Beijing, and said that since the establishment of pacification, there have been more and more thieves in Hebei, it is better to stop setting up and hand over his power to the Shuaisi. Li Gang said: "Zhang's current stay in the capital, recruiting generals and assistants, but has not yet set off. How can Yiqian know the disturbance of his disturbance? Because the people of Hebei have nowhere to go and gather into thieves, the imperial court set up the pacification department and used it for the people's efforts. How could it be because of the establishment of pacification.

What about the thieves in the Ministry? Now, the thieves in Jingdong and the west of Jingdong are rampant and plundering counties. Is it a crime for the raiding department? It is a difficult time. The court is about to make a difference. Yiqian is a low-class minister, but he has irrational suppressed it. There must be someone who instructs him." Zhao Gou then ordered Yiqian's crime to be punished and ordered to go to the Privy Council. Wang Boyan also used Yiqian's memorial to question the raiding department. Li Gang and Wang Boyan argued in front of the emperor, and Wang Boyan was speechless.

Zhang Suo recruited heroes and appointed Wang Yan as the commander-in-chief, and Yue Fei was the preparation general. It turned out that when Zhao Gou left Xiangzhou, Yue Fei was sent to Liu Hao's tent. Liu Hao was the former commander of the Grand Marshal Zhao Gou's mansion. Zhao Gou ordered him to go south to Jianzhou and Huazhou as a suspect soldier to Kaifeng. He led the main force of the Marshal's mansion to the north to Daming Mansion.

Under the order of Liu Hao, Yue Fei led a team of 300 cavalry to Li Gudu for reconnaissance, and encountered the Jin soldiers in the Imperial Gulin. Yue Fei took the lead, killed the enemy generals and repelled the Jin army. During the encounter in southern Huazhou, Yue Fei fought bravely and defeated the Jin army with hundreds of cavalry. In the two small battles, Yue Fei's courage and martial arts were revealed.

Liu Hao's army was blocked from crossing the Yellow River in Binzhou, so he had to follow the Marshal's Mansion's men to the north. At this time, Deputy Marshal Zong Ze rushed to Daming. Zhao Gou did not listen to Zong Ze's full efforts to rescue Kaifeng, and continued to move to Dongping Prefecture with Wang Boyan and others, and only gave Zong Ze 10,000 troops to aid Kaifeng. Yue Fei followed Liu Hao's troops under Zong Ze. Zong Ze led his troops to Kaide Prefecture, fought thirteen battles with the Jin army, and won every battle. Yue Fei was promoted to Xiuwulang for his military merits.

In the second year of Jingkang, Yue Fei followed the army to Caozhou. He waved his two maces and led the army straight into the enemy formation. The Song army defeated the Jin army with hand-to-hand melee and chased for dozens of miles. Yue Fei was transferred to Wuyilang for his merits. After Liu Hao's two thousand troops entered Berlin Town, Dingtao County, Guangji Army, the Marshal's Office ordered him to be transferred to Huang Qianshan and no longer allowed Zong Ze to command the army. At this time, Huang Qianshan had 36,000 troops, but he only knew how to preserve his strength and remained silent, causing Zong Ze, who had only 25,000 troops to fight alone. Although Zong Ze achieved some victories, the team also suffered a lot of losses and could not hurt the vitality of the Jin army.

In April of that year, the Jin army withdrew from the looted city of Bianjing, loaded with gold and silk and treasures, and more than 3,000 people including Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, royal family members, confidential ministers, Baigong, etc. were captured. On the first day of May, Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Yingtian Prefecture and changed the reign to Jianyan. Although Zhao Gou appointed Li Gang, the Anti-Japanese War faction as the Left Prime Minister, he still valued the surrender faction Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others. Zhao Gou adopted the policy of Huang Qianshan and others to avoid the war, preparing to travel south to "pass" and wanted to retreat to Chang'an, Xiangyang, Yangzhou and other places.

Yue Fei, who was twenty-five years old at the time, learned the news and ignored his low-ranking position.

He was brave and wrote thousands of words to Zhao Gou. However, his loyalty was only exchanged for the eight-character criticism of "a small minister who is beyond his post is not suitable for it", and was dismissed from the military post, military status, and expelled from the military camp. Yue Fei's determination to resist the Jin Dynasty was not shaken. In August of the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei crossed the Hebei North, rushed to the Daming Prefecture on the front line of the anti-Jin, and defected to Zhang Suo.

However, Yue Fei visited him three times, and the Zhang Su did not value him very much. The Zhang Su was too busy, so he didn't listen to Yue Fei's introduction carefully. However, the Zhang Su still kept Yue Fei and asked him to serve by his side. At the beginning, the Bole who fell in love with Yue Fei was not Zhang Su, but Zhao Jiuling, an important aide under the account of Zhang Su. Zhao Jiuling also had a close relationship with Li Gang, and he was recommended by Li Gang to Zhang Su's account.

In the days that followed, Zhao Jiuling and Yue Fei had frequent contact, and they established friendship through exchanges with each other. This made Zhao Jiuling realize that Yue Fei was unique. Therefore, Zhao Jiuling decided to introduce Yue Fei to Zhang Suk. Yue Fei answered Zhang Suk's questions one by one. Zhang Suk was surprised that Yue Fei learned martial arts from Zhou Tong and Chen Guang; and even more surprised that Yue Fei's actual combat experience in joining the army. After he figured out Yue Fei's origin and understood Yue Fei's performance in the anti-Jin struggle, he affirmed Zhao Jiuling's words. The young man in front of him was indeed a talent.

Yue Fei's answer to Zhang Su's question made Zhang Su suddenly realize that the generals in the leadership should not only be brave, but also have strategy. He told Zhang Su: "Courage is not worthy of dependence, and the use of troops is the first to decide the plan. Scheming is the opportunity for victory or defeat, so he is the way of generals, not worrying about his lack of courage, but worrying about his lack of strategy." After saying this, Zhang Su stood up, walked to Yue Fei, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed, "You are probably not a person in the army!"

Zhang Su was completely conquered by Yue Fei's military insights. He felt that Yue Fei was definitely not the material for being a soldier. The person in front of him would make a great contribution in the future. Then, he drafted the appointment document to Yue Fei, appointed Yue Fei as Xiuwulang, Guanmen Xuanzanshe, and served as the commander of the Central Army. Yue Fei's talents were recognized by Zhang Su, and his fate changed from then on.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, Zong Ze once met in the court, and exchanged tears and proposed a plan to revive the country. At that time, he and Li Gang entered the court to answer questions. The two met and talked about state affairs, and shed tears generously. Li Gang believed that Zong Ze was a strange man. Zhao Gou wanted to keep Zong Ze, but Huang Qianshan and others hindered. Zong Ze was appointed as a scholar of Longtu Pavilion and the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture.

At that time, the Jin people asked to cede land, and Zong Ze wrote to the letter: "The world is Taizu, Taizong's world. Your Majesty should work diligently and think about spreading it to all ages. Why did he hurriedly agree to cede Hedong and Hexi, and also promise to cede Puxian and Jie County in Shanzhou? Since the Jin people invaded again, the court had not appointed a general and sent a soldier. He only heard the evil ministers who had long advocated peace and made peace, and later he asked for a alliance, which finally led to the two emperors going north and the Zong community was humiliated. I thought Your Majesty would be so great.

Furious, he ordered rewards and punishments to be dismissed to rebuild the royal family. His Majesty has been ascending the throne for forty days, but he did not hear any big orders. The commander of the Ministry of Justice said, "The amnesty is not allowed to be issued to Hedong, Hexi, and Puxian County in Shanzhou." This is to suppress the loyalty and righteousness of the world, and to cut off the people. Although the ministers are stupid and timid, they are willing to take the arrows and stones in person and be the first of all the generals, and they are satisfied that they can sacrifice their lives to serve the country." Zhao Gou felt very tragic after reading Zong Ze's memorial. Zong Ze was changed to Qingzhou, and he was already 69 years old at that time.
