Yue Fei's Suppression of Bandits
This is a mystery that cannot be solved forever. Thinking of Zhao Gou's fear of opening a coffin and prosecution, it is very likely that Huizong's corpse treatment method is very rough and indecent, and it is impossible to hold a firm foothold in the burial of raw silk? What is going on? It is impossible to have a so-called true conclusion in a thousand years...
On May 11, Zhang Jun arrived at Tanzhou, the capital of Jinghu South Road. In the name of Jiangfang Commander-in-Chief, he wanted to run to Yue Fei as the supervisor of the bandit suppression. After arriving, he found that his luck was so good that he had nothing to say: the shore of Dongting Lake in May was even shallower than in winter!
Zhang Jun ordered Yue Fei to divide his troops to station in Dingzhou, Lizhou, and Yiyang County, Tanzhou. The troops were in the brink, but Yue Fei did not rush to attack while taking advantage of the drought. He started with the work of the bandits. He released hundreds of bandits caught by the official army in several times before. The bandits walked on the long-lost street and found that they were full of goods, so they all jumped off the property price. If these bandits were in a dream, there were too many things and were cheap, so who would still be bandits?
This news spread to the bandit's nest and caused a huge response. Spring just passed, summer was dangerous and drought, and people were almost starving to death. There were so many foods outside... but they just couldn't take it. The officers and soldiers were surrounded and could not buy money. Hunger was the first demand in life. Soon the bandits loosened and surrendered continued to appear...
In the early month, Wanyan Agu beat his concubine's son, Deputy Marshal of Dajin Zuo, known as the third prince. Wanyan Zongfu, 40, died in Guizhou. Only one second concubine, Li, cut her hair into a nun, built Qing'an Zen Temple in Liaoyang Prefecture, the capital of Tokyo Road, and silently raised his 1-year-old son Wanyan Wulu (the future Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong) was silently waiting for the turn of fate.
On the 5th, Yue Fei's army arrived outside Dingzhou City. On the same day, he sent Tanzhou troops Ma Jin to the bandit camp to surrender, and the bandit party Huang Zuo surrendered immediately.
On that day, Zhang Jun also suddenly came over. He said that autumn is coming soon (hell! Autumn is coming soon in the fifth and sixth month of the lunar calendar?) He was going to inspect the riverside, and the enemy situation in the north is the most important thing...
It makes people despise it, this is the so-called leader! The big leaders will come to every place, participate in everything, fly around like a dragonfly, and then make a mistake and the specific person in charge. If he makes a contribution, he will take the lead!
Yue Fei took out a picture to show Zhang Jun and said to him, "You are not busy leaving. I will pacify Dongting Lake within 8 days, and you will not delay your inspection of the river defense at that time."
Zhang Jun was stunned. He had seen someone bragging, but he had never seen you brag so hard! After a while, he replied, "Wang Sixiang has not been successful in two years, but he wants to defeat the thief in eight days. What's the point of saying it's easy?" Not to mention building ships and selecting equipment within 8 days, even if you are just going to advance, you will be very nervous. After all, this is Dongting Lake with a circumference of 800 miles and a ravine, and the range is too large!
Yue Fei replied, "It is difficult for the king to attack the water bandits with the king's army, but it is easy for the flying to attack the water bandits with the water bandits. When we fight against the water, we will be short of the enemy's army. If we use the enemy's troops to seize the help of their brothers and feet, leave their trust, and then take advantage of the king's army. Eight days are enough."
Facts are better than words, Yue Fei does what he says! On June, Yue Fei forced more than a thousand men from the troops of Yang Qin, the strong general in the rebel army, to surrender, and captured more than 400 boats. With this navy force, Yue Fei attacked Yang Yao's big village. The battle ended quickly. The thief general Chen Rong held the prince of the Great Chu State hostage Zhong Ziyi and surrendered to Yue Fei. Yang Yao jumped into the water and fled, but failed and was killed by Niu Gao. The remaining party Liu Heng and others surrendered one after another.
Finally, there was a large village on the mountain and stream, led by Xia Cheng. On the 11th, Yue Fei came to Xia Cheng Village and ordered the entire army to bring few weapons, try to harvest the weeds on the shore, and throw them into the water after entering the war zone. The pedals of the rebels were entangled with weeds and could not move forward and backward. Then the water battle became a land battle... What is the mere water bandits' figure?
Xia Cheng's water camp was captured in one fell swoop! Yue's army fought to determine Dongting!
At this time, Niu Gao proposed to slaughter the village and kill all the Xiacheng village! This was the practice at that time. To put it nicely, it was for the sake of the country and for the long-term stability. Everyone knew in private that Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun’s money were all made, and only after robbing them and killing them all can the evidence be destroyed!
But Yue Fei firmly opposed it. He emphasized that "Yang Yao's disciples were villagers... just to survive and gather people to escape. Since they surrendered and were innocent in the country, wouldn't they hurt their kindness? What's the benefit?" He said repeatedly, "You can't kill, you can't kill." The battle in Dongting Lake ended with Yue Fei's kindness...
At that time, Yang Yao believed that the water camp was strong and once threatened that "those who offend me were flying here" now his words come true! He was able to support him for more than five years under the siege of any other general of the Southern Song Dynasty, but under the command of this person named Yue Fei, he could not hold on for 10 days!
Hundreds of thousands of Hunan people who participated in the rebellion were released into the fields and rebuilt their lives. After that, the area was quiet and there was no turmoil again. It was impossible to find out how Yue Fei placed them at that time, but neither threatened by killing, there was only one conclusion...
As long as the Chinese people can have food and their wife is safe, no one will rebel. Obviously, Yue Fei gave them this!
Yang Yao's uprising army had a combat force of about 60,000 people, and Yue Fei included them all. From then on, the Yue family army reached 100,000 people. This surpassed Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, second only to Liu Guangshi!
The three generals' most worried things finally happened! Everyone's reactions were different, including Liu and Zhang, and others who gritted their teeth and shook their heads like Han. The truth was that the big fist was the truth, and Yue Fei had already pressed on their heads. Not long after, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong each received a gift - a car and ship sent from Hunan, with all the equipment and personnel on the boat.
This is a respect from Yue Fei. He used this to express his kindness to the big brothers. He did not forget Zhang Jun's support, nor did he ignore Han Shizhong's great military achievements. He wanted to gain their friendship.
Yue Fei got Han Shizhong's friendship. Old Han laughed and happily accepted it. From then on, he made Yue Fei's friend...
Zhang Jun was even more angry. In his view, Yue Fei was demonstrating to him and showing his military achievements! Zhang Jun began to recall that compared the fragments of his interactions with Yue Fei in the past few years, including this gift, Yue Fei's every step reflected his incompetence, cowardice, and failure. This slowly generated a resentment in his heart. In the years that followed, as Yue Fei continued to create great achievements, this resentment became more and more profound, until he made a mistake of anger between man and gods! He was cast in front of Yue Wang's tomb in Hangzhou together with Qin Hui and his wife, and was scolded by thousands of people...
Not to mention Zhang Jun, his "leadership" role was rife with holes in Yue Fei's legendary record of destroying Dongting Lake bandits in about 10 days! It was impossible to steal it, but he had to praise "Yuehou is probably a magical calculation" and then he let the powerful Yue family army enter Jingxiang to explore the Central Plains. He himself led his officials back to Lin'an...
There is also Liu Guangshi. He should hate Yue Fei the most. Yue Fei didn't write to him, and he didn't have the share of giving gifts. He had the most troops at that time. He should have been furious to teach Yue Fei a lesson? Unfortunately, nothing happened, he was very calm...
In August, Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi crown prince Liu Lin went hunting in Chenliu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and more than a hundred nobles were prepared to ambush on the way and capture Liu Lin alive. As a result, he was betrayed by a traitor, and hundreds of people were all killed in Kaifeng Prefecture.
In August, Guangzhou on Huainan West Road was captured by the pseudo-Qi. In September, Huawang, the commander of the Xuanfu Department of Huainxi, recovered Guangzhou.
On October 11, Zhang Jun moved to Huainan East and West Road from E, Yue and other prefectures on the front line of Dongting Lake to suppress bandits. He discussed the autumn defense incident with generals such as Liu, Han, and Zhang and then returned to Lin'an.
On the 16th, due to the disagreement of Wu Jie, deputy envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Propaganda and Pacification, Zhao Kai, the capital transfer envoy, Wu Jie appealed that Zhao Kai had poor support for his logistics, and Zhao Kai asked for an abortion of old and sickness. So Zhao Gou appointed former governor Xi Yi as the ambassador of the 4th Sichuan Road and the governor of Chengdu. Xi Yi, the title of ambassador of the Jinghu South Road and the governor of Tanzhou, was given to former Prime Minister Lu Yihao. At the same time, Li Gang, the first prime minister at the intersection of the two Song dynasties, was also appointed as ambassador of the Jiangnan West Road and the governor of Hongzhou.
On the 6th, the Yizhou, Haizhou and other troops of the pseudo-Qi invaded the Lianshui Army on the north bank of the Huai River. They were repelled by Hu Yantong, the commander sent by Han Shizhong, and almost wiped out the entire army.
With the extermination of the Dongting Lake Uprising, the Song and Jin countries entered a special period at the same time: the Jin Kingdom no longer attacked, and the Southern Song Dynasty discussed the whole country, and they were wondering what to do in the future?
The Jin Dynasty acted quickly, and after the little emperor Wanyan Ban came to power, everything changed drastically! Starting from the third emperor, the Jin Dynasty opened the curtain for a full hundred years of Chineseization! In this great movement, these two people were attracted by Jin Xizong: one was Han Fang, a Han from Youzhou, Liao Dynasty, and the other was Yuwen Xuzhong, a Song Dynasty man!
The first one to be introduced in the century of Chineseization is the reform of administrative institutions! The erectile ruthless system, which was the foundation of the Great Giongian Kingdom, was abolished and changed to the "three provinces and six ministries system"
From a purely technical perspective, this change is very correct and positive. Bo Ji Lie, to put it bluntly, it is a power concentration group. All power in the country is concentrated in the hands of a small group of people such as Du Bo Ji Lie (Emperor), An Ban Bo Ji Lie (Crown Prince), National Theory Bo Ji Lie (National Prime Minister), Amabo Ji Lie (Assistant of the Prime Minister)... When the Jurchens first became popular, they could do this, and when Wanyan Aguda was still alive, they could do this, because he had a godlike status, and no one dared to disobey any of his words and deeds. But after destroying Liao and Song, they would not be able to do this!
The huge territory and bloated institutions are unimaginable messes. These people are exhausted and can’t figure it out. The facts made the Jurchens compromise. Even if they hated the Khitans and looked down on the Han people, they also implemented the "southern officials" system. This is the one that the Liao people back then...
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Jin, the Jin Kingdom had already used Han institutions and officials to handle Han affairs in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the occupied Northern Song Dynasty...
At this time, Wanyan Tan implemented the three-provincial system, which used the three departments of the Secretary of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Supreme People. The highest official title was the Third Division (Taishi, Taifu, Taibao), the Three Dukes (Taiwei, Situ, Sikong), and the six departments that managed specific affairs.
From this point of view, is it purely the Song Dynasty model? No! The Jin Dynasty repeatedly claimed: This is the Han system, but the source is the Tang Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty!
On November 6, Jin Xizong began to promulgate the "Da Ming Calendar" of his country. On the same day, Wanyan Wu Qimai's eldest son Wanyan Zongpan was appointed as the highest official position in the new official system: Taishi, who was in charge of the three affairs and was granted the title of King of Song. Although he was the highest official position, this appointment also determined that he could only be a minister but not a king. In the era of Taizong, he often thought that he could become Anbanbojiji (Crown Prince) and could not relieve his resentment. He pointed this anger at Wanyan Zonghan.
On the 10th, Wanyan Xiyin, the left supervisor of the Left Supervisor, was appointed as the Left Prime Minister and the subordinate minister. Gao Qingyi was appointed as the Left Prime Minister of the Shangshu. Xiao Qing was appointed as the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu. These three were all the confidants of Wanyan Zonghan. After dealing with them, Wanyan Dan finally took action against Wanyan Zonghan...
Jin Xizong summoned His Highness from the Datong area of Yunzhong and asked with a smile, "Do you want to hold the highest position in the new organization?" Wanyan Zonghan nodded excitedly, "Of course."
So, His Highness Nianhan, the first hero of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, became a Taibao, led the affairs of the three provinces, and was granted the title of King of Jin. In exchange, his military post was removed and his office was moved from the distant Datong to the next door of the palace. This is the famous "change military power with the prime minister" in Jin history.
