…

At the end of December, the Jin army of the Eastern Road broke through the city of Sindh.

Wanyan Zongwang and other generals of the Jin army ascended the city tower and pretended to give orders to the residents.

In fact, at the beginning of the destruction of the city, Wanyan Zongwang and other generals of the Jin Army had quietly issued secret orders and clearly divided the scope of robbery for each department.

The final result was that the Jurchens plundered the areas and killed countless people, while the Han'er, Khitan and other ethnic groups looted the areas only slightly robbed some property.

The greedy and murderous bandit nature of the Jurchens is undoubtedly exposed.

The army led by Guo Yaoshi has been outside the city of Sindh Mansion and has not entered the city to rob, so no one has been killed.

Someone asked Pharmacist Guo the reason, and Pharmacist Guo said: "My generation entered Beijing, and I have no evil intentions, and I have come back to the court." ”

Some people actually believed the nonsense that Pharmacist Guo said, and wanted to join Pharmacist Guo to return the gold soldiers to protect the Song.

said that what Pharmacist Guo said was a nonsense, and he definitely did not wronged Pharmacist Guo.

It can be said that if there was no Guo Yaoshi, the Jin army of the East Road would not have advanced any further.

Zhao Ji's Zen position to Zhao Huan was not expected by Wanyan Zongwang and others, plus Hejian and Zhongshan Erfu were not broken, and the back road was dangerous.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi suggested: "The Southern Dynasty may not be prepared. Then, Guo Yaoshi further encouraged Yan Zongwang and others to say: "The wealth of Bianjing and the palace ban are not compared to Yanshan. Now the prince Langjun soldiers are fast, and they can take advantage of this momentum to break the bamboo and rush to the big river, and the soldiers will break their courage, but they can return without a fight. Gou heard that he was prepared, Yaobing Hebei, and looking at the Southern Dynasty to show the prestige of the country, and it was not too late to return. ”

Wanyan Zongwang was moved by Pharmacist Guo's words, and finally adopted Pharmacist Guo's suggestion and decided to continue the southern invasion.

Wanyan Zongwang sent Guo Yaoshi as the vanguard, but only gave Guo Yaoshi a thousand cavalry.

Guo Yaoshi repeatedly begged for some more troops to be added to him.

After Yan Zongwang, he added another thousand cavalry to Guo Yaoshi.

Obviously, the Jin people didn't believe in Guo Yaoshi, a person who had repeatedly rebelled.

Pharmacist Guo also knew that his reputation was completely stinky, but he was not willing to end his career, so he tried his best to express himself.

Guo Yaoshi personally led 2,000 light cavalry from Sindh Province, galloped south, and soon arrived at the edge of the Yellow River......

……

In the first year of Jingkang, the first day of the first month.

Zhao Ji officially proposed to Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong that he wanted to go to Mengcheng in Bozhou to burn incense, worship Zhuang Zhou, and pray that Daozu Laozhuang would bless the country and the people.

At this time, the power of the military state was still in the hands of Zhao Ji, how dare Zhao Huan not agree?

Taishi calculated through divination and suggested that Zhao Ji choose to set off on the fourth day of the first month.

But on the night of the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ji heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River, and felt that the situation was urgent, so he could not wait for the fourth day of the first month, when the second drum leaked at night that night (that is, between nine and eleven o'clock in the night), Zhao Ji quietly left the Longde Palace, drove eastward, until Tongjin Gate, and went down to the river by boat.

At this time, Zhao Ji only had Cai You and a few attendants around him.

Tongjin Gate is a land city gate, and the south side is the Bianhe East Water Gate.

The Bianhe River is one of the main water transportation arteries in Tokyo, which flows into the city from the West Water Gate of the Outer Castle, flows into the Inner City Water Gate, crosses the State Bridge and the Xiangguoji Bridge in front of the Imperial Palace, and then flows out of the Inner City Water Gate, and then passes through the East Water Gate of the Outer City, and flows out of the city in the southeast direction.

Zhao Ji and others hurriedly boarded the boat and went out of the city overnight along the Bianhe River.

The water flows in the night, and the boat travels on the water.

At this time, it was the cold winter season, and the water level of the Bianhe River was shallow, so the speed of the boat was slightly slow.

Zhao Ji felt that this was too slow, so he abandoned the boat and went ashore and took a sedan chair instead.

But after sitting on the shoulder for a while, Zhao Ji felt that the shoulder was not as fast as the boat, so he returned to the river bank and asked for a boat to transport bricks and tiles.

The attendants had not even had time to prepare food because they had not even had time to prepare their food.

After this bumpy and tiring, Zhao Ji began to feel hungry.

Cai You hurriedly sent his attendants to look for food on the ship.

Later, the chamberlain got a cake from the boatman, and Zhao Ji and others shared it.

Overnight, Zhao Ji and the others fled for hundreds of miles, and arrived at the southern capital (that is, Yingtianfu, that is, Shangqiu, Henan in later generations) at dawn.

At this point, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

After dawn, that is, on the fourth day of the first month.

Empress Taishang, the Empress Tai, and the prince and the emperor also left Bianliang City according to the plan they had made before, and went to chase Zhao Ji.

Zhao Huan ordered the Pingliang army to envoy Fan Ne and the Zhongtai First Palace envoy to lead the Shengjie army to follow.

On this day, many court officials heard that Zhao Ji had left Beijing and fled from Bianliang City one after another.

Zhao Ji did not stay long in Nandu, and after they bought a mule, they hurriedly rode on it and continued to march south.

On the way, pass by a village.

Zhao Ji was tired of walking and wanted to rest, but when he saw a family half-covered by bamboo, he knocked on the door and entered.

There was only one old woman in this family, so Zhao Ji started a family routine with her.

The old woman asked Zhao Ji his surname.

Zhao Ji replied: "The surname is Zhao, he lives in Tokyo, he has been a minister, and he recommends his eldest son to be his own generation." ”

After Zhao Ji rode a mule to Fuli (later Fuli in the north of Suxian County, Anhui Province), he changed to a big boat and continued south.

The boat traveled to Sizhou (northwest of Xuyi, Jiangsu Province in later generations), and Zhao Ji abandoned the boat and landed on the shore to buy fish at the riverside market.

Zhao Ji is very good at buying things, he bargains with the fish seller, and finally returns victorious.

After returning from buying fish, Zhao Ji was quite touched, so he gave a small poem of "Linjiang Immortal": Go through the water and mountains, and chant more than 1,000 poems. Huaibo is cold and heavy and the rain is sparse. There are herons on the smoke cage beach, and people sell the boat fish. The ancient temple has the right to live in the secluded room, and sleeps in the monk's residence late at night. The Dream Soul was startled and groaned. Worried about my heart, and tears to write back to the book.

After arriving in Sizhou, Zhao Ji stopped his hurried footsteps and rested a little.

Sizhou City is located in the lower reaches of the Huai River, where the Huai River is connected with the Bianhe River, which is the key point of north-south traffic, and its strategic position is very important.

At this time, Yu Wencuizhong, the deputy envoy of the palace, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and other ministers all chased after him from behind.

Tong Guan had been appointed by Zhao Huan to stay in Tokyo, but Tong Guan heard that Zhao Ji was lucky, so he privately led the Shengjie army to rush out of the nest and chase Zhao Ji, which was called "escort".

Tong Guan is indeed very bold, he dared to refuse to obey Zhao Huan's appointment, which is also one of the ten major crimes that Tong Guan was later convicted and executed, namely: not to give his life, to go to the southeast without permission; Sent to stay behind, not to be ordered.

There are actually many officials like Tong Guan who left the capital without authorization and went to the southeast.

Dagui, the common people, and those officials with lower status are not to mention, and the high-ranking officials have fled from Shangshu, such as Zhang Quan, Wei Zhongda, He Dagui and other fifty-six people.

So much so that only half of the people in the upper court remained, and many positions were vacant.

Cai Jing, Cai You and Song Huan's family, more than 1,000 people, none of them are in Beijing.

And Cai Jing and Cai You's subordinates, seven or eight out of ten abandoned their officials and fled.

Tong Guan and Gao Yu are both important ministers who hold military power, and they both lead the troops - Tong Guan leads 3,000 Shengjie soldiers, and Gao Yu leads 3,000 Praetorian Guards.

Nominally, Tong Guan and Gao Yu both came to escort Zhao Ji, and they wanted to protect Zhao Ji across the Huai River and go to Yangzhou.

In fact, Tong Guan and Gao Yu both came to follow Zhao Ji to save their lives.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, and their buttocks were not clean, they had a hunch that if they stayed in Bianliang City, there was a chance that they would be more than lucky.

Tong Guan arrived in Sizhou one step earlier than Gao Yu, so Zhao Ji was snatched by Tong Guan and protected.

Tong Guan falsely passed Zhao Ji's order and ordered Gao Yu to guard the pontoon bridge and not to come south.

Gao Yu was very suspicious of this order and insisted on meeting Zhao Ji in person.

But Tong Guan just stopped Gao Yu from seeing it.

The Jin army on the eastern road had already approached the city of Bianliang with seven troops at the beginning of the first month and began to storm the city.

When Zhao Ji heard the news, he hurriedly left Sizhou and went to Yangzhou.

At this time, Gao Yu refused to carry out Tong Guan's order and led the Praetorian Guards to follow Zhao Ji south.

Tong Guan was furious and ordered the Shengjie army to shoot the Praetorian Guards.

Many of the Janissaries were killed by arrows, and more than 100 fell from the bridge into the river and drowned.

The Shengjie Army is a strong army in the Western Army, Tong Guan's personal soldiers, and the elite among them, where is the Praetorian Guard its opponent?

Unable to defeat Tong Guan, Gao Yu had no choice but to order the Praetorian Guards to stop advancing.

Gao Yu's father and son and brothers all stood on the side of the road and waited, hoping to see Zhao Ji again.

Soon, Zhao Ji came on the shoulder.

After Zhao Ji and Gao Yu met, the monarchs and ministers wept with each other.

Zhao Ji wanted to say something, but perhaps because Cai You, Yu Wencuizhong, Tong Guan and other ministers were by his side, Zhao Ji didn't say a word in the end.

When the people on the road saw this, they couldn't help but weep.

Gao Yu then stayed in Sizhou to control Huaijin in case the Jin army came to pursue.

After Zhao Ji arrived in Yangzhou, he still felt unsafe and insisted on crossing the river to the south.

The local fathers and elders urged the car not to cross the river.

But Zhao Ji didn't listen.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ji crossed the Yangtze River by boat and arrived at Zhenjiang on the south bank.

Empress Zheng had chased to Yangzhou at this time, but she did not follow Zhao Ji across the river, and finally stayed in Yangzhou.

The princes and emperors who followed Zhao Ji Nan were scattered in the counties along the road at this time.

Zhenjiang is the destination of Zhao Ji's trip.

In the third year of Shaosheng, Zhao Ji was named the king of Duan by Song Zhezong as the envoy of Pingjiang and Zhenjiang military festivals, and he was only fourteen years old that year.

In the third year of Zhenghe, Zhao Ji upgraded Zhenjiang from the state to the government, which was the earliest city in the two Zhejiang regions to be upgraded from the state to the government.

This shows that Zhenjiang has a relatively high status in Zhao Ji's heart.

The key is that there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in the north of Zhenjiang, which can block the Jin army from moving south.

Moreover, the political situation in Zhenjiang is also more favorable to Zhao Ji - Cai You, the prefect of Zhenjiang, is Cai You's younger brother, and Song Huan, the Jianghuai Jingzhejiang and other road system and shipping envoys, is Cai You's brother-in-law, and Cai You is Zhao Ji's most trusted person.

Therefore, only when he came to Zhenjiang did Zhao Ji feel a sense of security.

At this point, Zhao Ji lived in Zhenjiang......
