Cochin Invasion
The reason given was very fun to talk about pre-defense - because the Song Dynasty vigorously developed the economy and actively trained soldiers on the southern border, which made them uneasy... so they sent troops.
As for seeking benefits for the people of the Song Dynasty? Li Gande sent a notice, saying that the Song Dynasty people were too hard and were tortured by the Qingmiao Law, the exemption law and other things all day long. I will save you and will be free and happy from now on...
Jiaozhi dispatched 60,000 troops, claiming to be 80,000. It invaded Song territory by land and water, and the breakthrough point was Guangnan West Road. The navy crossed the Beibu Gulf and captured Qinzhou on November 0. On November 6, it conquered Lianzhou. The army ignored the passes along the way and headed straight to Yongzhou, the important town of the southern border of the Song Dynasty. If you still remember the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, you should know the importance of Yongzhou. It is the center of Guangnan West Road. If you take it, the southern border of the Song Dynasty will be out of control. The people of Jiaozhi are very confident to take it down. A theoretical value makes them very impulsive:
Back then, Nong Zhigao was unstoppable to the south of the Song Dynasty, but the people of Jiaozhi captured Nong Zhigao back to Jiaozhi and threw it into prison. Such psychological advantages were more effective than any pre-war mobilization! They were so impatient to kill Yongzhou!
On the 8th, Wang Anshi returned from illness and the first thing he faced was how to solve the problem of Jiaozhi invasion.
On January, Zhang Xiaojie, a Han Dynasty man, was given the country's surname Yelu Yixin's strong recommendation because of the strong recommendation of the first treacherous minister Yelu, the second treacherous minister of the Great Liao Dynasty.
On the 4th, Zhao En was appointed as the recruitment envoy of Annan Road. Li Xian, the eunuch who once helped Wang Shao pacify Xihe, was appointed as the deputy recruitment envoy, and sent troops to attack Jiaozhi!
On the 6th, Wang Anshi personally drafted the "Debate Jiaozhi Edict" and mobilized the army. It was limited to ancient transportation. The Jiaozhi army had already invaded the border at this time. By the time the capital responded, the war had burned all over the southern border.
On January 11, 1076, under the city of Yongzhou, the people of Jiaozhi discovered that except for the high and deep city, there were very few soldiers guarding the city, with nearly 60,000 people guarding it. The governor Su Jian was a pure civil servant, and all kinds of numbers were destined to be the most suitable target for robbery in a city. But everyone should remember Su Jian, who is far more steadfast and great than Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others!
Everyone was thinking about escaping, and Su Jian ordered the city gate to be closed. This is the southwest gate. I want to defend this line of defense for the country! At this time, a school official named Zhai Ji wanted to sneak out of the city. Su Jian caught him and ordered the beheading to be shown to the public. The man was dissatisfied and shouted that he had the will to tell your son not to leave!
Su Yan's son Su Ziyuan is a member of Guizhou. Not long ago, he brought his wife and children to Yongzhou to visit relatives. Faced with Zhai Ji's questioning, he asked his son to go back to take office on time, but he kept his wife and children and survived and died with the city! This made Zhai Ji convinced and left the people in the city without saying anything.
The battle of guarding Yongzhou finally began! Faced with more than 0 times the enemy, Su Jianruo helped the people of the whole city to support him. During this period, he sent troops to ask for help, and reinforcements were also dispatched, but unfortunately he was isolated 100 miles away and could not move forward. He took out all the savings from the government and his private individuals to reward the soldiers, but unfortunately there were too few soldiers and the money could not buy the urgently needed equipment for the city guard. Even the heavens opposed him. The Yongzhou area suddenly had a drought, and the rain did not drop, and even the well water could not be fired. The city was thirsty, and people continued to die, and finally a plague occurred...
In this way, guess how many days Su Jian has held on to? The answer is 4 days! In the past month, the corpses of Jiaozhi people were everywhere outside Yongzhou City, with cumulative accumulation of more than 15,000 people. This is a terrible number. Jiaozhi sent 60,000 troops, and half of them had to be distributed to the navy. The army was at most 40,000, and more than 1/7 of them were buried in one Yongzhou City. Think about how this energy consumption supported them to continue moving forward?
In panic, the Jiaozhi people thought of withdrawing troops, but suddenly there was a turning point. China is a strange nation, rich in heroes, and there are always traitors. A local person gave them an idea, saying that you are so stupid, each carrying a large bag of soil and piled it under the city wall. Tens of thousands of people took action at the same time, and they could immediately climb up!
The people of Jiaozhi were overjoyed, with more people bullying few people, this trick was really wonderful. In this way, Yongzhou City finally fell. Facing the enemy rushing in like a tide, Su Jian chose to continue fighting, but he still did not run away. The street fighting began, and Su Jian fought until he could not support it, so he rode his horse back home. Facing his six relatives, he said this - "I will not die by the thief." The young and old Su family committed suicide, and Su Jian burned himself to death...
The people in Yongzhou City had the same fate as their prefect. The whole city died and no one surrendered. The people of Jiaozhi massacred all 58,000 civilians. The southern gate of China was lost, and the casualties of the people were limited to Yongzhou, Qinzhou and Lianzhou City, which reached more than 160,000...
When the news came to Kaifeng City, Song Shenzong was filled with grief. He would never have thought that the little Jiaozhi was so cruel. He invaded such a huge Song Dynasty and dared to kill bloodyly, and would not let the common people go! There was nothing else to say, to get back the bloody debt! At the same time, on the 4th, he issued an edict to praise Su Yan and granted his son Su Ziyuan. The emperor gave his golden words and words to compare Su Yan to Zhang Xun, who defended the Jianghuai land with an isolated city in Suiyang during the Anshi Rebellion.
On the day before this, the governor of Xiazhou, Peng Shiyan, surrendered to Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun's Jinghu North Road finally succeeded in suppressing the rebellion...
While the Song Dynasty ordered the southern army to quickly gather in Tanzhou and Guizhou, they sent out the northern imperial guards. At this time, there was no Pan Mei and Di Qing, and Wang Shao could not escape from the Xihe River in the northwest. Who would take on the task of the southern expedition? After all the selection, elite figures were denied. Among them were excellent soldiers Zhao Sheng, Yan Da, and the eunuch Li Xian... What stood out in the end was the problematic figures that were not popular everywhere and could not get along with anyone.
Six years ago, in Sanchuankou, where heavy snow was blowing, there was a name that made people miss it for a long time: the brave general Guo Zun! Six years later, the problematic person selected by the Song Dynasty was his younger brother, the famous general Guo Kui.
Guo Kui is both civil and military, generous and elegant. According to legend, when he was studying, he never was in a quiet study, but brought two cakes and a pot of wine to the restaurant to read. There were only two cakes, and the wine was added as it was dried, and he didn't stroll home until he was late... This was his lifestyle. He was indifferent, did his own way, and only did what he thought was right.
When he grew up, Guo Kui entered the military and was sent to the Western Xinjiang like his brother, where he met Ge Huaimin. Fortunately, he was not selected into Ge Dayane's troops, so he did not die young. He accurately judged the result of the Battle of Dingchuan Village.
Killing people in the army is very common, but not many people with strategic vision. This is just an example of Guo Kui's military talent. Later, he worked under Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji, fought against Xixia in the northwest, and fought against Liao on the northern line, suppressed bandits in the Jinghu area. He almost went all over the imperial war zone. His official positions were also quickly promoted. At this time, he was already the descendant of the Jingnan Army and the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui.
Guo Kui has great abilities, a great official position, and even more so, a temper. He and all his colleagues are almost unable to get along well with him. For example, in the northwest, He Zhong Yan and Wang Shao were all quite unhappy. If Song Shenzong wanted to recover Xihe there, he had to transfer him away first... There were many similar things, and he was gradually determined. He was priceless during the war, and he was an annoying person in peacetime. At this time, the Song Dynasty finally remembered him...
But no matter who is used, even if Di Qing is resurrected, he cannot quickly solve the problem in the south. According to the progress: In November 1075, the people of Jiaozhi fought in, and in January 1076, Yongzhou City fell. On the moon and the day, Guo Kui was appointed as the commander of the South of the Conquest. He was so sad and tragic that the whole country was angry that the army could only reach the south until July... During this period, the entire Lingnan area was in a state of defenselessness and even anarchy.
Why is this happening? It is related to the speed of the army's mobilization at that time. Only a small part of the Song Dynasty recruited the imperial guards in Kaifeng City, and more of them were troops from the northwest. This is the current situation of the Song army. The imperial guards degenerated and the northern line was rotten, but only the Northwest Legion became stronger and stronger! Although strong, the road was too far. More than 40 years later, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was once again sent to Jiangnan to pacify the Fang La Uprising. After that, it rushed back to the northwest to fight with the aliens, and tossed back and forth, and finally the strongest and most precious family foundation in the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed!
On June 15, Liao Daozong stationed in Tuogu Lie and accompanied Xiao Hugu to protect the country. He lurked under the bridge to prepare for assassination of the first treacherous minister. King Yelu Yixin of Wei. Unfortunately, the bridge was washed away by a heavy rain and the assassination plan was stranded. Later, he wanted to assassinate in this hunting, but it failed. He killed the queen, bullied the prince, and the first treacherous minister who escaped the assassination now covered the sky with one hand, and no one dared to provoke him. Only Xiao Yanshou called him to seal the secret report, and the foolish Liao Daozong woke up. On the 18th, Yelu Yixin was driven out of the court and was left to Zhongjing.
If you never return like this, the future of the Great Liao Kingdom will still have hope! Unfortunately... This bolt from the blue made Yi Xin party panic. In order to protect yourself, they suggested that Yelu Hongji quickly establish a new queen. The candidate for the new queen is an important figure in the Yi Xin party. Xiao Xiama's sister Xiao Tansi. On the other hand, Xiao Tansi was named the queen. This also indicates that the work of the first treacherous minister to destroy the Great Liao is far from complete. Keep working hard! Kill Yelu Jun, the most heroic prince in the history of the Great Liao Dynasty! Come on! The first treacherous minister!
On July 14, Emperor Liao was hunting in the autumn mountains and shot deer one day. At the banquet, the emperor suddenly recited the poem "Shu Li" and said, "Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say I want me what I want." Although the first treacherous minister was no longer in the court at this time, there was still the second treacherous minister Zhang Xiaojie. The flatterer came immediately, "Today, peace, why do you worry about your Majesty? If you are rich all over the world, what do you want?"
This month, Guo Kui's troops invaded the south finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and entered Lingnan.
The emperor gave Deng Wan's memorial to Wang Anshi. He couldn't guess how Wang Anshi felt at this time? Shame? Shame? His whole life was pure and flawless. Even the hostile conservatives could not tell the stain, but they were shamed by their son and subordinates one after another!
On October 5, the Chief Censor Deng Wan was dismissed. "Deng Wan lost his national constitution, please be demoted." This is Wang Anshi's answer. He could only demote Deng Wan on the matter. As for the misunderstandings, grievances, honors and disgraces caused by these things, he could only let them go, let the years help chew them, and digest them with each person's own different mindset...
On the 15th, Yelu Yixin returned to the court and served as the Privy Council envoy of the Northern Court. The Xiao Yanshou, who had submitted a secret report, was in trouble. When Yixin returned to the court, he naturally had to leave the court and serve as the governor of the Shunyi Army.
On the other day, Wang Anshi stopped prime minister for the second time and returned to Jiangning Prefecture, Jinling, the place where he started, and finally woke up in his dream for seven years. Wang Anshi left. There were two reasons for leaving. First: his most respected eldest son, the year-old Wang Rong, died young, which made him feel disheartened. But the second thing is that he left at this time and came at that time, both his support for Song Shenzong!
Wang Anshi's departure was entirely for the sake of Song Shenzong. At this time, Wang Rong died and his assistants were separated. All the ministers in the court looked around. He would only cause trouble for the empire and make the opposition quarrel around him all day long. In this way, no one would work. What should the country do? That would be really greedy for power and makes people feel cold. When he left, the clouds for a day were scattered, and what left Song Shenzong was a vast and fresh world: the national treasury was abundant, the government orders were refreshed, the army was strong, and the Xihe was recovered... The road below was to be walked by the 9-year-old Song Shenzong himself...
When Wang Anshi came, he was a wishing stone, which fulfilled all Zhao Xu's wishes. When Wang Anshi left, he turned into a piece of soap. After repeated scrubbing, he became smaller and mixed with a lot of dirt and mud. What was left to Zhao Xu was a relatively clean and healthy Song Dynasty...
Faced with such a situation, Song Shenzong showed a very superb mind and did an excellent job. He had been the second in command of Wang Anshi for nearly 8 years, and suddenly faced a huge sky. He thought of not showing off himself, but balance. In his opinion, Wang Anshi had done too hard and too ruthlessly before. Eight years have passed, and looking at the overall situation, the Song Dynasty needs to make fine adjustments. How to implement it? The most urgent task is to find a new prime minister.
With China's great powers, there are countless heroes, but among the tens of millions of people, this is the most correct choice - Wu Chong, the sons and daughters of Wang Anshi!
Wu Chong is an old official and a standard senior official of the Song Dynasty. In life, there is always such a person who is very knowledgeable and has good character. He smiles at anyone, but no one can get close to him. In them, coldness and politeness are integrated, showing the personality of hiding needles in a large group of people. This is how Wu Chong expressed his respect when facing Sima Guang, but he did not follow him. When facing Wang Anshi, he dared to express his ideas and publicly expound the inconvenience of the new law. Such a person was born to come to power at this time and gently drizzled some clean water for the conflicts between various departments of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Wu Chong and Wang Gui became the prime minister of the new government of the Song Dynasty. Feng Jing, the top scholar who won three yuan in a row, returned to the court to serve as Privy Councilor.
