Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

After Zhao Kuangyin asked, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly heavy.

Han Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I was let down again.

Moreover, it caused an injustice that will be remembered forever.

It has become one of the most regrettable things in history!
Whenever I think of this, I wish I could draw my sword and chop those dogs into bun stuffings one by one!"

There was a lot of anger in Han Cheng's voice.

Mixed with boundless anger.

This made Zhao Kuangyin's expression even darker.

This beast Zhao Gou really deserves to die!

Han Cheng took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin, he said: "Grandpa Yue Fei was born on February 15th of the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty in an ordinary peasant family in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, Western Hebei.

Legend has it that when Grandpa Yue was born, a bird as big as a swan flew and chirped above the room.

So his parents named him Fei, with the courtesy name Pengju.

Han Cheng's words made Zhao Kuangyin stunned.

I have a clearer understanding of Yue Fei.

After all, before this, he had heard this young friend Han talk a lot about the Song Dynasty, involving many people.

Only when mentioning Yue Fei, people called him Grandpa Yue.

Just from this point we can see what a hero Yue Fei is!
It was precisely because he realized what a hero Yue Fei was that Zhao Gou hated him even more.

The more outstanding and heroic he is, the more it highlights how damnable Zhao Gou is!

“When Grandpa Yue was young, he was a quiet and taciturn person who often acted insolently.

He likes to read "Zuo Zhuan" and Sun Wu's Art of War.

He once studied horse riding and archery under Zhou Tong, and was able to shoot with both hands.

Soon Zhou Tong died of illness. Yue Fei would go to his grave to pay tribute on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Yue Fei later became a disciple of Chen Guang and learned the ways of using swords and spears.

His martial arts were unrivaled in the county.

Yue Fei was born with supernatural powers. When he was less than 20 years old, he could draw a bow of 300 Song jin and use a waist crossbow of 8 stones.

People at that time were surprised by it.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan and Cai You were defeated by the Khitan.

Liu Qian, an official from Hebei, recruited brave warriors in Zhending Prefecture to resist the Liao.

Yue Fei applied and was selected and appointed as a squad leader among the brave warriors.

At the age of 20, Yue Fei began his military life.

The bandits Tao Jun and Jia Jin were causing chaos in Xiangzhou.

Yue Fei asked for permission to go and eliminate the evil.

Yue Fei performed outstandingly, leading a hundred cavalrymen and using an ambush strategy to capture the two bandits alive.

In the same year, Yue Fei's father Yue He died.

Yue Fei bid farewell to Liu Qian, left the army, and rushed back to Tangyin to mourn for his father.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe, floods occurred in Hebei and other places, and the Yue family had a hard time making a living. In order to make a living, Yue Fei went to the Pingding Army in Hedong Road to join the army and served as a cavalry soldier.

Soon he was promoted to a minor post.

In the first year of the Jing Kang period, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan regretted ceding land. The two Jin armies joined forces after conquering Taiyuan and marched south for the second time to besiege Kaifeng.

While seeking peace, Zhao Huan sent someone to deliver a wax letter appointing King Kang Zhao Gou as the commander-in-chief of the Hebei army and to recruit troops from all directions to prepare for the king's rescue.

In Xiangzhou City, Wuyi Doctor Liu Hao was responsible for recruiting volunteers and reuniting the defeated soldiers.

After Taiyuan and Pingdingjun fell, Yue Fei, who broke out of Pingdingjun and returned to his hometown, witnessed the brutal killing and enslavement of the people after the invasion of the Jin people.

He was filled with indignation and wanted to join the army.

He was also worried that his elderly mother and his weak wife and children would not be able to ensure their safety during the war.

Yue Fei's mother-in-law, Yao, was a person who understood the greater good and actively encouraged him to join the army and serve his country?
He also tattooed the words "Serve the country with loyalty and zeal" on Yue Fei's back as a motto.

Yue Fei remembered his mother's teachings, reluctantly left his family, and joined the anti-Jin front..."

"Great! What a righteous mother, and such a loyal patriot!!"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but cheer out loud when he heard this.

The Jingkang Shame, which is so depressing that it drives people crazy, attracted many people who are usually unknown to the public to stand up.

It adds a lot of color to this extremely shameful incident.

What they did and the brilliance they exuded far surpassed those of later emperors such as Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou!

There are also many ministers who are well-dressed and live a life of luxury on weekdays.

They are the real backbone of the Song Dynasty!
"In the winter of the first year of the Jingkang reign, King Kang Zhao Gou arrived in Xiangzhou and opened the Hebei Military General Headquarters on the first day of December.

Yue Fei and Liu Hao's troops were placed under the command of the Grand Marshal's Office.

Liu Hao was the commander of the front army of the Marshal's Office. Zhao Gou ordered him to head south to Junzhou and Huazhou to serve as a decoy for the rescue of Kaifeng.

He led the main force of the Marshal's Office north to Daming Prefecture.

Following Liu Hao's orders, Yue Fei led a cavalry squad of 300 people to conduct reconnaissance at Ligudu.

When encountering the Jin soldiers in Shiyulin, Yue Fei killed the enemy general and repelled the Jin army.

In the encounter south of Huazhou, Yue Fei bravely took the lead and defeated the Jin army with a hundred cavalrymen.

In these two small battles, Yue Fei's bravery and martial arts were revealed..."

"Good! You are brave, resourceful, courageous and capable. You are a good man!"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but praise out loud.

He remembered what the general combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty's troops was at that time.

From top to bottom, so many people were afraid of the Jin people like a tiger.

Many people, even before they started fighting the Jin people, were trembling all over when they heard that the next battle would be with the Jin people...

However, Yue Fei was able to confront the Jin people head-on and even won a great victory. This was truly outstanding at the time!
"Liu Hao's army was blocked from crossing the Yellow River at Junzhou, so they had to follow the Marshal's Office northward.

At this time, Deputy Marshal Zong Ze also rushed to Daming.

Zhao Gou did not accept Zong Ze's suggestion to rescue Kaifeng with all his strength, and continued to move to Dongping Prefecture with Wang Boyan and others.

He only led 10,000 troops with Zong Ze to support Kaifeng.

Yue Fei followed Liu Hao's troops and was under the command of Zong Ze. This was the first time he became a general under Zong Ze.

Zong Ze led his troops to march into Kaide Prefecture and fought thirteen battles with the Jin army, winning every battle.

Yue Fei fought bravely and was promoted to Xiuwulang for his military merits...

In February of the second year of the Jing Kang period, Yue Fei followed the army to fight in Caozhou. He wielded two maces, led the troops, and went straight into the enemy camp.

The Song army defeated the Jin army in close combat and chased them for dozens of miles.

Yue Fei was promoted to Wuyilang because of his merits.

Liu Hao's two thousand troops entered Dingtao County of Guangji Army and Berlin Town. Then the Marshal's Office ordered him to transfer to Huang Qianshan.

Zong Ze will no longer be allowed to command this army.

At this time, Huang Qianshan had 36,000 troops under his command, but he only knew how to preserve his strength and did not take any action.

This left Zong Ze, who had only 25,000 men, in a situation where he had to fight alone.

Although Zong Ze has achieved some victories, his troops have also suffered a lot of losses, and it is difficult to damage the vitality of the Jin army..."

"Damn it! These compromisers and those who surrender should be killed!!"

Although Zhao Kuangyin had heard these things from Han Cheng before.

However, from Yue Fei's perspective, he was still very upset at this time.

Swear loudly.

By the way, Zhao Kuangyin was relatively restrained before this.

Even when he was angry and swearing, he was rather reserved.

But now, he is no longer so reserved.

The more he cursed, the more blunt he became.

It's not that he has no self-control, it's just that the news he heard was too hateful!
Even this kind of straightforward scolding cannot express the anger in my heart.
"After the Jingkang Incident, Zhao Gou adopted the policy of Huang Qianshan and others to avoid fighting and migrate south, preparing to travel south and retreat to Xiangyang, Yangzhou and other places.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Fei, who was 25 years old at the time, wrote a letter of several thousand words to Zhao Gou, regardless of his low official position, which briefly said:

Your Majesty has ascended the throne and the country has a master.

The plan to defeat the enemy has been put in place, and the troops to support the king are gathering day by day.

They think that we are weak, so we should take advantage of their laziness and attack them.

Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan and their ilk are unable to carry out the emperor's will to restore the country. As the emperor's carriage moves further south, I am afraid they will not be able to maintain the hope of the Central Plains.

I urge Your Majesty to personally lead the six armies to cross the river to the north while the enemy's stronghold is not yet solid, so that the soldiers can be encouraged and the Central Plains can be recovered.

However, his sincere heart was only rewarded with the eight-character comment "I, a humble official, have exceeded my authority and it is inappropriate for me to speak such words."

He was also dismissed from his military post and military status and expelled from the military camp..."

Bang! !

Zhao Kuangyin attacked again with the Panlong stick in his hand, breaking a chair.

"Fuck him!!"

He held the Panlong Stick and his eyes were red.

Such a loyal person to his country was treated like this.

From the emperor to those who surrendered, no one will survive from now on!

I have to clean them all up!

Those who are truly loyal to their country are not given important positions, but those who surrender and compromise get to sit in high positions and ride on fine horses. How absurd! !
If this happened to me, I might end up causing some other trouble.

What the imperial court did was really chilling...

"Yue Fei's determination to fight the Jin army was not shaken by this.

In August of the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei crossed the river and headed north to the anti-Jin front line - Damingfu in Beijing.

Recommended by Zhao Jiuling, an official of the Hebei West Route Recruiting and Appeasing Envoy, he met Zhang Suo, the Recruiting and Appeasing Envoy who was famous throughout Hebei and was recruiting talented people to fight against the Jin army.

This is his fourth time in the army.

When Zhang learned about Yue Fei's experience, he felt very sympathetic.

So he kept him in his tent to serve him.

Due to Yue Fei's extraordinary insight and superb martial arts, Zhang Suo finally decided to promote him as an exception.

He was first appointed as a Xiuwu Lang as a commoner, then he was promoted to commander, and later to commander-in-chief.

They were under the command of the famous general Wang Yan.

However, Zhao Gou, Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others begged for peace from the Jin people.

Intentionally suppressing the anti-Jin forces in the court.

First, Li Gang, who firmly advocated resistance against the Jin army, was dismissed from his post as prime minister. Then Zhang Suo was also demoted and exiled to Lingnan because he had previously impeached Huang Qianshan.

He eventually died in exile.

The army led by Wang Yan and Yue Fei, which was sent by Zhang to recover Weizhou and other places, also became an isolated force due to the abolition of the Hebei West Route Recruiting and Appeasement Office.

Wang Yan stationed his troops at Shimen Mountain in Xinxiang County, Weizhou, worried about the gathering of the Jin army.

Therefore, he was cautious in going into battle. Yue Fei, who was somewhat young and arrogant, blamed Wang Yan for being timid: The two emperors were in disgrace, and the bandits occupied Hebei. The ministers should open the way to welcome the imperial carriage.

If you do not fight quickly but wait and see, do you really want to join the enemy?
He led his subordinates to fight without authorization, captured Xinxiang County, captured the Jin army's Qianhu Ali Bo, and defeated the Wanhu Wang Suo.

The Jin army mistakenly believed that Wang Yan and Yue Fei's troops were the main force of the Song army.

So he mobilized troops from all over the place and gathered in Xinxiang, preparing for a decisive battle with the Song army.

The army of Wang and Yue had only 7,000 men. They were surrounded by the Jin army and were defeated while trying to break out.

After Yue Fei broke through the encirclement, he encountered the Jin soldiers again in Houzhaochuan. He led his troops in a desperate battle, suffered more than ten wounds, and finally succeeded in repelling the enemy.

Moved to the Taihang Mountains.

When Yue Fei heard that Wang Yan had organized the "Eight Character Army", he went to his house in person to apologize.

But Wang Yan was unwilling to take him in, so Yue Fei led his troops to fight on his own.

In a battle, Yue Fei's troops captured the Jin general Tuoba Yewu.

Not long after, they encountered another Jin army. Yue Fei ordered his soldiers to bluff, and he himself stabbed the enemy chieftain, Black Wind King, also known as Odunza, to death with a 10-foot iron spear, forcing the Jin army to retreat temporarily..."

"Loyal and courageous, a true hero!!"

Zhao Kuangyin praised out loud!
"After Li Gang was dismissed from his post, Zong Ze, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, actually became the central figure in the anti-Jin movement.

Zong Ze established extensive connections with the spontaneous anti-Jin armed forces in the north.

He recruited an army of one million men and stored up enough food and fodder to last for half a year.

Zong Ze appointed Wang Yan to command the military affairs of the two rivers, and Wang Yan sent someone to order Yue Fei's troops to guard the pass of Rong River.

Yue Fei and Wang Yan found it difficult to work together, so he decided to lead his troops south to Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture.

Accept Zong Ze's leadership again.

Zong Ze valued Yue Fei's talent and sympathized with his patriotism, so he forgave Yue Fei for violating military discipline and kept him in the camp waiting for orders...

In December of the first year of Jianyan, the Jin army launched a large-scale invasion to the south and attacked Sishui Pass in Mengzhou.

Zong Ze immediately sent Yue Fei as the Tabai Envoy and asked him to lead 500 cavalrymen to conduct reconnaissance.

Yue Fei defeated the Jin army in the Sishui Pass area. After his triumphant return, he was appointed commander by Zong Ze.

Soon he was promoted to commander..."

"Old coach Zong Ze has a keen eye for heroes!"

Zhao Kuangyin echoed again.

"From the winter of the first year of Jianyan to the spring of the second year of Jianyan, the Jin Kingdom divided its troops into three groups and dispatched them in full force.

In the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture and its neighboring areas, the Song and Jin armies engaged in a fierce tug-of-war.

Zong Ze was stationed in the Tokyo Garrison. Although he was surrounded by enemies, he still calmly dispatched troops and deployed battles.

The Jin army was unable to capture Kaifeng.

During the first month of the lunar year, Kaifeng citizens even decorated their houses with lanterns and colorful decorations as usual.

Yue Fei fought in Zaocheng County, Heilongtan, Guanqiao and other places near Huazhou City, where he performed outstandingly and made great military achievements.

One day, Zong Ze summoned Yue Fei and gave him a battle formation diagram, saying:
Your courage, wisdom, talent and skills are beyond the reach of even the best generals of the past. However, you prefer field battles, which is not the ancient way. It is fine for you to be a minor officer now, but it is not a perfect plan for you to be a general in the future.

Yue Fei replied:
The key to military strategy is to attack with surprise and be unpredictable, only then can you win.

Formation before battle is the common principle of military strategy. The key to its application lies in one's heart.

These words finally made Zong Ze nod his head in agreement...

"Great! An old man and a young man, their friendship is truly a story for the ages!"

Zhao Kuangyin once praised him out loud.

Especially when he thought about how both of them were loyal and courageous people who both advocated resisting the Jin army, the letter became even more emotional.

Growing respect for Yue Fei
"After Zong Ze passed away, Du Chong took over as governor of Tokyo.

He was cruel and murderous, but lacked strategy. He ignored Zong Ze's plan before his death, and the Northern Expedition ended in failure.

On July 15th, Yue Fei led Bi Jin and other generals to enter Henan Prefecture, Xijing, in accordance with Zong Ze's deployment before his death, and was responsible for defending the Northern Song Dynasty imperial tombs.

In the autumn of the second year of Jianyan, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng ordered a war against the Song Dynasty.

The first is to capture Zhao Gou, and the second is to capture Shaanxi.

The Jin army, led by Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan, once again invaded the south.

In August, Lu Jing, who was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Guard Infantry, ordered Yue Fei to go to Sishui Pass to resist the enemy.

When the two armies faced off, Yue Fei shot and killed the Jin general with an arrow.

The Song army took the opportunity to attack and repel the Jin army.

Yue Fei was also ordered to station his troops at Zhulu Ferry, east of Sishui County, to hold out against the Jin army.

At that time, the Song army was running out of food and grass. Yue Fei used a strategy of confusing the enemy and defeated the Jin army. He was promoted to Wugonglang for his merits.

In the first month of the third year of Jianyan, Yue Fei returned to Kaifeng from Henan Prefecture, the Western Capital, under the order of the Tokyo Garrison.

In order to exclude dissidents, Du Chong ordered Yue Fei to attack the generals Zhang Yong and Wang Shan who were defending the city.

At that time, Wang Shan was stationed in the east of the city, and Zhang Yong was stationed in the south of the city.

Yue Fei, Sang Zhong, Li Bao and others were stationed in the west of the city.

They were all responsible for guarding the capital.

Yue Fei did not want to kill each other, so he declined politely.

However, Du Chong threatened Yue Fei with military execution and ordered him to send troops.

Yue Fei had learned from the previous experience of leaving Wang Yan without permission, so he could not disobey orders and had to go into battle.

In the Battle of Nanxun Gate, he defeated tens of thousands of troops from Zhang and Wang with only 800 men.

He was promoted to Wujing Daifu for his merits.

Du Chong also sent Ma Gao and others to continue pursuing Zhang and Wang's troops.

But was defeated.

Wang Shan attacked Huaining, but Zhang Yong refused.

He led his troops away and became a roving bandit from then on.

He was eventually captured and surrendered by Yue Fei.

From spring to summer, Yue Fei followed Chen Cui in fighting against Wang Shan many times.

Wang Shan led his troops to flee east and west, and finally surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.

Due to his many military achievements, Yue Fei was successively promoted to Wulue and Wude, and was appointed as the Governor of Yingzhou.

As soon as Yue Fei returned to Kaifeng in late June, he received an order from Du Chong to retreat south.

Yue Fei made a bitter appeal to Du Chong: We cannot give up even an inch of the Central Plains. If we take one step now, this land will no longer belong to us.

If you want to take it back in the future, you will have to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people.

Du Chong didn't listen.

Yue Fei had no choice but to lead his troops south.

Kaifeng subsequently fell in February of the following year…

In early November, Wanyan Zongbing occupied Hexian County on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The Jin army advanced eastward along the northern bank of the Yangtze River and joined forces with Li Cheng to attack Wujiang.

It’s less than a hundred miles away from Jiankang.

Du Chong reported to the court that "the commander-in-chief had gone to Caishi for defense," but he stayed at home and made no preparations.

Yue Fei went into Du Chong's bedroom and tried to persuade him again and again until he burst into tears, but to no avail.

After hearing the news that the Jin army had crossed the river, Du Chong sent the commander-in-chief Chen Cui to lead generals including Yue Fei and Qi Fang with 20,000 troops to Majiadu.

He also sent the king's 13,000 men to support him.

Chen Cui led his troops to fight hard, while Yue Fei led the right army to fight against the Jin Dynasty's Han army commander of ten thousand men.

But the king fled without fighting.

Chen Cui died in battle, all the generals were defeated, and Yue Fei fought hard without any help.

The army retreated to Zhongshan, northeast of Jiankang.

Du Chong abandoned Jiankang again and fled to Zhenzhou, and soon surrendered to Jin.

Jiankang fell..."

"Bitch!!"

Zhao Kuangyin suppressed his anger, picked up the pen again, picked up the small notebook, and wrote Du Yun's name on it.

This kind of bastard will be killed as soon as possible in the future! !

"After the Battle of Majiadu, Yue Fei decided to break away from Du Chong and fight alone in the rear.

At that time, some of Yue Fei's subordinates defected. Yue Fei made an impassioned speech to them, and the soldiers were all moved and willing to fight with Yue Fei...

After Du Chong surrendered to the enemy, the Song army was defeated.

Among the defeated troops, some northern generals were unwilling to fight anymore and wanted to nominate Yue Fei as commander-in-chief and surrender to the Jin together.

Yue Fei pretended to agree, took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and led several trusted men to fight against them, defeating dozens of them in a row.

Yue Fei gave the troops a serious admonition, and everyone was convinced, and the army's morale was thus stabilized..."

"What a loyal and righteous man!" Zhao Kuangyin exclaimed in praise.

He knew very well how difficult it was to achieve the same level as Yue Fei.

At least he couldn't do it...

"Wanyan Zongbing marched from Jiankang, successively captured Lishui, Guangde, Anji, Huzhou, and headed straight for Hangzhou.

Yue Fei led his troops in the rear, waiting for an opportunity to inflict a severe blow.

Yue Fei sent Liu Jing to lead a thousand soldiers to attack Liyang at night, and successfully captured the Liyang County city occupied by the Jin army.

He also personally led his troops to fight in Guangde and won six battles.

The troops stationed in Zhongcun, Guangde, ran out of food. The soldiers endured hunger but did not dare to disturb the people...

In the early spring of the fourth year of Jianyan, Yixing was being harassed by the defeated army, and the county magistrate invited Yue Fei to Yixing.

He said: The grain stored in the county can feed 10,000 soldiers for ten years!

In February, Yue Fei entered Yixing and stationed in Zhangzhu Town.

In Guangde and Yixing, Yue Fei surrendered many troops that had become bandits in the local area due to the chaotic political situation, as well as the soldiers from Hebei, Hedong and other places who were forcibly conscripted by the Jin army.

Yue Fei did not discriminate against or treat them harshly.

These people all spread the message: This is Grandpa Yue’s army.

Fight to surrender.

Yue Fei fought bravely against the Jin army and loved his people like his own family. The people of Yixing are grateful to him.

They say: It is easy for my parents to give birth to me, but it is difficult for me to be protected by my parents..."

"What a Yue Fei!
What a great Yue Army!

This is the true peerless hero of our Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't hide his admiration...

After the admiration, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

What on earth did such a loyal and righteous person experience in the future that made Han Cheng say those words before?

A shadow was cast over his heart...
