Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 6: Jin Bing goes south

Wang De stayed in the Jujing Garden, and Zhao Chen followed the eunuchs towards the Funing Hall.

Zhao Chen studied martial arts for three months, and his internal strength was successful, and his physical fitness was greatly improved. It was more than five miles from Jujingyuan to Funing Hall. Zhao Chen ran forward, gradually leaving the eunuchs behind. When he arrived at Funing Palace, Zhao Chen's face remained unchanged, and his breathing was quite normal, as if he had come here slowly.

He waited for a while at the entrance of Funing Hall, and several guards had already gone to report. After a while, Zhao Chen really entered the Funing Hall.

At this moment, in addition to Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, the Funing Hall had dozens of ministers.

Dazai and servant maid Zhang Bangchang is here, and Shaozai Li Bangyan is here. These are the two prime ministers of the DPRK. In addition to these two, there are Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao and other important officials in the court.

Originally, when Song Huizong was in power, Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others were in charge of the government. Only with the abdication of Song Huizong, Zhao Huan had replaced all the ministers in the court with his cronies. He directly denounced Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others as treacherous ministers! It's just a pity that Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others are treacherous ministers, but Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and others appointed by Zhao Huan himself are also famous treacherous ministers in history!

There were several loyal ministers in the Qinzong dynasty, such as Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Zhang Shuye, etc., who were all well-known loyal ministers in history. However, these people were upright and were not liked by the emperor. They had long been demoted to various places! Now that major events are happening in the country, the emperor can only discuss ways to deal with it with a group of traitorous officials.

Seeing Zhao Chen coming in, Zhao Huan nodded towards Zhao Chen and motioned to Zhao Chen to stand beside him.

"Father, what happened? But... Jin Bing went south?" Zhao Chen asked anxiously.

"Not bad!" Song Qinzong nodded, his face a bit heavy.

Zhao Chen's heart tightened. Although he had known that Jin Bing would go south, he was still a little at a loss when this happened!

"Everyone, Aiqing, tell me, how do we deal with the situation in front of us?" Song Qinzong looked down and said.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhang Bangchang stood up and said.

"At the beginning of the country?" Zhao Huan was taken aback, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Bangchang said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, I had a bad relationship between Song Dynasty and Liao, and the Liao people often went south. Every time they went south, they were called "grass-grass valley." Hurry away! Now the Kingdom of Jin is the same as the Kingdom of Liao, and they are also barbarians, and their thoughts must be the same. They must also go south to'catch the grass valley', so there is no need to worry!"

Song Qinzong nodded. Although the ministers next to him were panicked, they also nodded at this moment.

Zhao Chen couldn't bear it, and said, "If Jinbing goes all the way south to the outside of Kaifeng, what should we do?"

Zhang Bangchang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness does not need to worry! In fact, after the last time the Golden Soldier went south, he surrounded Kaifeng. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the court has Chen Chongbing in the three northern towns! These three northern towns can certainly block the pace of the Golden Soldiers. It makes it difficult for Jin Bing to go south!"

"Three northern towns?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

He has learned some historical knowledge, but he still has limited knowledge of ancient geography.

"The three northern towns are Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian! Taiyuan guards Hedong, Zhongshan guards Hebei, and Hejian guards Shandong. The three cities are distributed in a line on the northern plain. Jinbing can only continue southward if it breaks through the three northern towns! The city is unusually strong, and now there are heavy soldiers stationed there. The golden soldiers are barbarians. They don't have many siege weapons at all. They can't beat these three cities at all!" Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhao Chen frowned. He didn't know how powerful these three northern towns were, but he knew that it took Jin Bing only three months to fight from the north to Kaifeng. The three northern towns certainly didn't play much role!

In fact, the three northern towns did play a role in history, especially Taiyuan City!

During the Southern and Northern Song dynasties, there were two famous cities that have been immortal, one is the Diaoyu City at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the other is the Taiyuan City at this time in the Northern Song Dynasty. The former is famous for killing the Mongolian Khan, and the latter is famous for its tenacity. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin attacked Taiyuan City with troops from all over the country. With Zhao Kuangyin's strength, it was difficult for him to conquer Taiyuan for the rest of his life. After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he used a million soldiers and horses, and the number of crossbowmen alone exceeded 500,000 to encircle Taiyuan City with national manpower and material resources, but it took nearly a year to conquer Taiyuan City. The Golden Soldiers invaded the south, and the major northern towns fell one after another, but Taiyuan City persisted. Jin Bing began to besiege Taiyuan City from the first southward move. Until now, Taiyuan City has been besieged by Jin Bing for half a year. For more than half a year, Taiyuan City did not receive any assistance from a single soldier, and it is still resisting. After that, the most important reason for the fall of Taiyuan City was hunger. Taiyuan City was hungry. All the edible things in Taiyuan City had been eaten. Only then was the city broken.

The Northern Song Dynasty court has lost contact with Taiyuan City for more than half a year, but they still regard Taiyuan City as one of the barriers to the north.

"So, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, and the ministers, don't worry! The Golden Soldiers went south just to fight the grass valley. Even if they weren't, it would be difficult for them to conquer the three northern towns! Let's just relax!" Zhang Bangchang said with a smile on his face. .

"What if the three northern towns are conquered?" Zhao Chen said again.

"His Royal Highness is more concerned! His Royal Highness is young, and his heart is terrifying. This is normal!" Zhang Bangchang disapproved.

"You!" Zhao Chen was angry in his heart, he wanted to rush forward and kick this famous traitor to the ground.

"Well, Chen'er, you are indeed young! Now you are only ten years old, what do you know?" Song Qinzong said.

"Father, my son has something to say!" Zhao Chen said.

"What else do you have? Just say it!" Zhao Huan frowned and said.

"Father, the Golden Soldiers are strong, and the three northern towns may not be able to stop them! If the Golden Soldiers go all the way to the south and surround Kaifeng, wouldn't Sheji be at stake? So, for the sake of the Sheji, I think we should not believe too much in the three northern towns, we There are other measures too!" Zhao Chen said.

"Oh? Other measures? Let's talk about it!" Zhao Huan said.

"We should move the capital!" Zhao Chen said.

"What? Move the capital?" Zhao Huan was stunned, not only was Zhao Huan stunned, but Zhang Bangchang and other ministers were also stunned.

"Yes! Move the capital! During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Anlu Mountain rebelled. Didn't Emperor Ming retreat to Sichuan and drive Anlu Mountain away afterwards? We can also move the capital to avoid the Jinbing's edge, and then unite the power of the whole country with Jinbing. Fight to the death!" Zhao Chen said.

This is an idea that Zhao Chen has thought of these days! Since the Golden Soldier is strong and difficult to resist, it is better to move the capital! Whether you go to Sichuan, Jiangnan, or even the west, you can escape the edge of Jinbing for the time being, and we will talk about the rest later! Although he has been a prince for three months, he is still a student of thought. Now he mainly wants to save his life! As for what to do in the future, he has not gone to this question yet! In his opinion, moving the capital will definitely save his life!

"Absurd! Your Royal Highness, you really made a fuss!" a minister below said coldly.

The minister's name was Liu Dong, but he was a loyal minister. When Song Huizong was reigning, he once wrote a letter scolding Cai Jing, Gao Li and others, and he also had some reputation in the court. At this moment, Liu Dong heard that the prince was about to "move the capital", thinking that the prince was so cowardly and weak, and he was very angry! When he wanted to come, although Jin Bing went south, but now it only conquered a few small cities in the north, there are still more than three thousand miles away from Kaifeng, and now His Royal Highness is about to avoid, so timid, where is this one? The demeanor of the Crown Prince?

"Chen'er, I won't be talking about moving the capital anymore! If I move the capital under threat of a foreigner, how much infamy will be left in the history books? How will I explain it to future generations? Haven't I also become a faint emperor like Tang Minghuang?" Song Qinzong said.

He was afraid of leaving "stains" in history, but he didn't know the shame of the capture of the two emperors and Jingkang. This is an unprecedented shame in Chinese history! In history, his evaluation is far inferior to Tang Minghuang! Tang Minghuang tried his best in the early stage, and slowly became faint in the later stage, which made the Tang Dynasty decline from prosperity. But even so, he can still be regarded as meritorious and demerit. Unlike Song Qinzong, he did not leave any good things. There is no positive evaluation in the history books. !

"Father, think about it again!" Zhao Chen said anxiously.

"Come on, take the prince down!" Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

At the moment, Zhao Chen was "invited" out by the guards again...

In the middle of the night, in the Eastern Palace, the candles were bright!

Zhao Chen sat at the table with no sleepiness in his heart! At this moment, there are still two eunuchs and two court ladies serving in the room.

Zhao Chen has a lot of thoughts, but he can't think of a way to leave Kaifeng City.

"His Royal Highness, the night is already late, why don't you rest first?" After a long time, the **** next to him reminded.

"Rest? How can I sleep now?" Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

After finally coming to this era, only three months have passed. Is he actually facing death?

The night became deeper, and a stern cry came from a distance, like a child crying, and the heart of the listener was chilly.

"What sound is this?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, this is the sound of a wild cat calling spring! You hurry up and rest!" the **** said.

"The wild cat is called Chun..." This thought just flashed in his heart, he was about to get up, suddenly taken aback!
