(The alliance takes action and it’s extraordinary! Thank you!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As early as the first year of Tianjian, before the Chinese Kingdom conquered the west, Zhao Gou, the emperor of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, had just moved to Changsha. Before he could relive the old dream of the emperor, he was shattered by an unprecedented violent riot.

The rebellion between Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao broke out!

This riot was a little later than the original time because of the changes in the historical trajectory of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, no matter how the wheels of history shifted, they would inevitably crush a few stones that were in the way, because these "gravels" were blocking the middle of the road early on.

Zhong Xiang, a native of Wuling, Dingzhou, "eats and serves demons" (i.e. Manichaeism), claimed that he had "there are gods and heavenly connections, and could save people and diseases." He was always popular in the local area, similar to the modern so-called so-called so-called "something is the same as the modern so-called "something is the same as the so-called "something is the same as the "sage" and "the great sage" (it seems to be missing).

As early as the spring of 1127, Zhao Gou called on soldiers from all over the country to "respond to the king" in Nanjing (Shangqiu). Zhong Xiang had organized 300 Yi soldiers, led by his son Zhong Ang, to rush to Nanjing, supporting Zhao Gou to resist the Jin army's invasion. Later, Jianyan's court decided to flee south, and ordered the Yi soldiers from all over the country to "respond to the king" and asked them to "return to the Yuan Dynasty and take their own careers."

Jianyan's monarch and ministers thought that the world was still the same as before. It was so naive that the military, civilians and people came and whispered it. Once the people gathered together and realized the power of unity, they would be disbanded on their own. This batch of righteous people who were ordered to return to the Yuan Dynasty eventually became the root of frequent riots in the Lingnan area of ​​the Southern Song Dynasty and rampant bandits, accelerating the demise of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty that moved south. Jianyan's monarch and ministers really shot themselves in the foot.

Zhong Xiang, who had already had a different ambition, did not disband the team returning home according to the will of the court, but continued to gather, build villages to protect himself, and set up flags and armor to prepare for the uprising.

According to the historical trajectory, Zhong Xiang started the incident in February 1130 - this was not accidental, but determined by the current situation in Jiangnan at that time. At that time, when the Jin army invaded the south and the king and ministers of Jianyan were in a hurry to cross the south. Zhao Gou fled over the sea, Wu Shu "seared mountains and checked the sea", and the Jin army crossed the Yangtze River and rushed into Jingnan from Liangzhe.

After trampling and ravaging Jiangnan in an extremely unsatisfactory manner, the Jin man led a large number of prisoners and returned to the north with a proud ambition. In March, he blocked Han Shizhong on the Yangtze River, opening the prelude to the Huangtiandang War.

At that time, the government troops fled far away in Jingnan, and the people were displaced, and they were completely in anarchy. Zhong Xiang chose this period of time when the Southern Song regime had the most vulnerable control and launched an uprising.

The above is the historical background of the Zhong Xiang's affair in another time and space. But in this time and space, a key change occurred - the Battle of Huang Tiandang. Due to Di Lie's intervention, it was two months ahead of schedule! The result of the battle was extremely brilliant.

The Battle of Huang Tiandang shocked the world. Needless to say, the Song and Jin countries were ecstatic, while the other was as if they were lost. At the same time, Zhong Xiang was also frightened. At that time, Zhong Xiang could not understand the relationship between the Tianbo army and the court. If he acted rashly, such a powerful navy army would have unimaginable consequences if it entered Jingnan, and thus suppressed the idea of ​​aggression.

Di Lie did not expect that he would intervene in the Battle of Huang Tiandang and inadvertently push this major historical event back for two years.

In 1132, the Southern Song regime moved south. The royal family moved and the court moved, which was a huge waste. This was not a matter of doing it without any fear of being silent or raising legs. In addition, within a year, a large amount of supplies was sent to China three times in a row, which squeezed out the Southern Song treasury and received the taxes next year. To make matters worse, one of the most important grain production areas, Chengdu Prefecture, the country of Tianfu, has already given Hua but not Song...

The consequences of such fiscal deficits were as stated in the memorial of the Ministry of Revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, "The taxes and labor service were very small, and the rice was expensive, and the value was 2,000 yuan, and the Cai soldiers were raised. The military rations were exhausted many times. It took five days to give a dou of glutinous rice, and the soldiers' wives survived by themselves." "In the sixth month of Yimao in the second year of Shaoxing, in the Great Wilderness, the price of silver in the stone valley was eleven taels of silver, and the price of stone rice was 20 taels of silver."

The food and wages were not enough, and the army mutiny frequently, and the army turned into bandits, and the bandits had no military system, which made the disaster even worse. In the end, "there were great famine and many people died. No matter what counties and villages were concerned, they looked at the ashes, and wherever they were destroyed, nine out of ten households were empty."

At this time, Jingnan was already full of public grievances, but Huang Qianshan, who acted as a creator of buying, once again showed his nature as Hu Chai, and wrote letters one after another, saying that the situation in Jingnan was very good, and the implication was that if you want to move, go on the road quickly.

Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty migrated large troops and marched south from Hangzhou, with water routes, land routes, and sea routes, showing their magical powers.

In this case, Zhong Xiang seized the opportunity and suddenly raised uprising, attacked past officials and businessmen, and plundered a lot. After having soldiers, money and food, Zhong Xiang's ambitions had already been ready to expand rapidly. Just one month later, he couldn't wait to formally raise the flag and rebel, establish the country's name Da Chu, proclaimed himself the King of Chu, and made his eldest son Zhong Ang the crown prince, with the reign of Tianzai, and established the generals and ministers.

Zhong Xiangjun announced that the national law of the Southern Song Dynasty was an "evil law". He burned government offices, temples, temples and "Haoyou's House" to suppress officials, monks, Taoists, witch doctors, Bu Zhu, and landlords and wealthy people with hatred. He seized the property of bureaucratic landlords and returned it to the peasants, which was called "equal peace". Zhong Xiangjun's actions were enthusiastically supported by the vast number of displaced people and could not continue their meals, saying that this was "of course."

The Zhong Xiangjun first attacked Taoyuan County. The magistrate Qian Jingji led the Baojia soldiers to suppress him, but was killed by Zhong Xiangjun and defeated the Song army. Two days later, the Zhong Xiangjun conquered Lizhou again, killed the Song guardian Huang Cong, and entered the prefecture of the city successfully.

Previously, Zhong Xiang robbed past officials and businessmen, and he could also be said to be bandits. The court had many worries and might not pay much attention to it. However, this killing official to occupy the city and claiming to be a king's system would be very different. This is a complete rebellion! If you didn't say it, suppress it!

In March of the second year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou led the central organization of the Southern Song Dynasty, and rushed to Changsha. Before the dust was dusty, Zhao Gou issued three saints, and ordered Yang Mi, deputy commander of the Right Army in the front, to capture and kill envoy from the north and south of Jinghu, to lead five thousand troops to kill Zhong Xiang's rebel army. Li Yunwen, who was stationed in Ezhou, to assist him with all his strength. After receiving the order, Li Yunwen did not dare to be negligent. He immediately sent commander Gong An and the infantry in Yiyang, and the commander Zhang Chong led the warships into Dongting Lake, and led Zhang Qi to the navy army into Likou, and attacked Zhong Xiang's army in different ways.

In the original history, Kong Yanzhou was the one who killed Zhong Xiang's army. In this time and space, Kong Yanzhou's fate was bad. He hit the iron gate of Naiheguan. He was hung in front of Jingxing Pass and was dried until he died. However, Yang Mi's level was no worse than Kong Yanzhou, and Zhong Xiang's "rebel army" who did not train well was the same as the original history. Therefore, his ending was also the same.

At the end of April of the second year of Shaoxing, Zhong Xiang and his son were defeated and captured and sent to Changsha for execution.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard the news and gave Yang Mi the commander of the Right Army in the Front. The rest of the bandits and subordinates were rewarded with great rewards. However, the emperor of Shaoxing had not yet passed the joy, and a larger-scale rebellion broke out again.

Yang Tai (i.e. Yang Yao) rebelled!

Yang Tai was a young general who "entered the French" uprising with Zhong Xiang. Compared with Zhong Xiang, who only knew how to pretend to be a god, Yang Tai was quite brave and strategic. After Zhong Xiang's death, Yang Tai elected Zhong Xiang's second son Zhong Yi as the prince and called himself the Great Sage King. Using Dongting Lake as a base, he collected wood and built warships. He trained the navy, set up villages, formed a team of 8,000 people, and the momentum was greatly boosted.

In May, Cheng Changyu, the Jingnan Prefecture, sent a navy army to suppress Dongting, which was defeated by Yang Tai's car and ship. Cheng Changqin fled back to Gong'an County alone and detoured to Dingzhou by land. Yang Tai took advantage of the victory to pursue him and attacked the Song army at Cheng in Dingzhou. Cheng Changyu shrank into the city and did not dare to fight.

In June, the court ordered Yu Longtu Pavilion to study Tu Zhe Yanzhi as the Hunan Pacifier, and led the troops of Tan, Ding and Jingnan to Dongting to suppress Yang Tai.

Zhe Yanzhi sent the commander Zhang Chong and Zhang Qi to attack Dongting Water Village from the upper reaches, and commanded Cui Zeng and Wu Quan, and led the navy from the lower reaches of Dongting Lake. After Yang Taijun learned about it, he put down three large ships in Shunjiang. There were no flags and guns on the ship, and no one was seen. They were silent and silent. When Cui and Wujun saw it, they thought that Yang Taijun was defeated by the upstream official army, and empty ships came, so they mobilized the entire team of boats and ships, fought for the first place, and went up one after another. When they arrived at the wide water surface, Yang Taijun's vehicles and ships suddenly beat drums and shouted, pedaled, and launched a fierce attack, and quickly sank hundreds of warships of the government army. The government infantry on the beach was also wiped out by Yang Taijun. In one day, Cui and 10,000 Wu soldiers were wiped out, and countless bows, arrows, armor, and a major victory was achieved.

The defeat in this battle shocked the Southern Song court, and the government and the country were panicked. What made the Southern Song monarchs most anxious was that the Yang Taijun used the Dongting Lake Water Village as a base and developed rapidly to more than 100,000 people. The occupied areas reached the north to Gong'an, the west to Ding, Li, the east to Yueyang, and the south to Changsha!

That’s right! Yang Taijun has arrived at the doorstep!

In August, the Southern Song Dynasty court followed the plan of the left prime minister Zhang Jun and sent the Privy Council's planner to join forces with the Hunan appeasement envoy Zhe Yanzhi, and went to Dongting to "recruit" Yang Taijun with official edicts, golden belts and brocade battle robes. However, the price offered could not satisfy Yang Tai, and the recruitment was ineffective.

Faced with such a crisis, the Southern Song Dynasty and the people were in great turmoil.

Fang Chou, a commoner in Jiangxi, wrote a letter to say: "There are two great problems in the present: Hua Kingdom and Yang Tai. Yang Tai is in his abdomen, so you must think deeply about it. If it is not destroyed for a long time, it will cause difficulties." This has raised the Yang Tai Rebellion to a level comparable to that of China. It is conceivable that this riot has had a great impact on the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Censor Zhang Zhiyuan also reported: "The invasion of the Huachao is just a disease of scabies. If you use medicine and stones well, you can easily remove it. The common people are in trouble, but the confidant is poisoned. If it is nourished but not cured, it is really difficult to get rid of it. Dongting was occupied for many days, and the people who were recruited were sent many times, but most of them did not return. The troops from the water and land would never dare to go deeper."

The words of the left prime minister Zhang Jun were even more alarmist: "Yang Tai occupied Dongting Lake and actually occupied the upper hand. If he didn't go there first, he would be a conscience and would not be able to establish a country."

In September, Zhao Gou finally made up his mind and issued an order to supervise the battle with the left prime minister Zhang Jun, and drew 15,000 troops from the Yangtze River defense line, and returned to the south to eliminate Yang Taijun.

Liu Guangshi left, what should I do if the Yangtze River defense line? Zhao Gou's answer was - Cold Dishes!

It was extremely difficult and extremely painful for Zhao Gou to make this decision. He knew very well that once the imperial patrol army was pulled south, the empty river defense meant. The hungry tiger in Jiangbei had been staring at the big fat piece of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, but because of the alliance and the full struggle to conquer the west, he had no time to take care of it. Now he has withdrawn all his troops, leaving only a little thin guardians pretending to be. With Zhao Gou's understanding of that person, he would never miss such an opportunity, just to see what kind of excuses he would make.

But, just like Li Ganshun of Xia Kingdom, does Zhao Gou have a choice? If he recruited the strongest army in the Southern Song Dynasty, he would at most throw away Jiangnan; if he didn't recruit him, he would probably throw away the dragon throne, so would he still have to choose?

...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, Di Lie'an sat behind the Dragon Case, holding a military newspaper in each hand. He looked left and right, and couldn't hide his joy.

A soft and lazy voice came: "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

Di Lie looked up and saw two palace maids carefully supporting the queen Huanhuan into the hall.

Di Lie quickly threw down the military newspaper, collapsed without any image of the emperor, and quickly walked up to him. He complained slightly: "The weather is so stuffy and the queen is inconvenient, so why do you have to come out? And he only brought two palace servants."

Huanhuan gently caresses her slightly bulging belly, shy and happy, radiant, and amazingly beautiful - well, a woman who is about to become a mother must be the most beautiful.

"It's only four months, why should I be so nervous? Doctor Xu also said that it's inconvenient to sit for too long, so I have to walk around." Huanhuan looked happy and peaceful, and her jade hands slightly spread, and ordered the two palace maids to retreat. "There are many palace maids outside. I won't let them come in, so as not to disturb Your Majesty."

Di Lie personally stepped forward to support him and asked Huanhuan to sit side by side behind the Dragon Case. If it was in the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, this would definitely not be allowed, but it would not be that important in Duo Palace.

Two military newspapers were placed on the Dragon Case, but Huanhuan was very regular and did not dare to take a look. Queen Zhu often reminded her and the sisters in the harem that they should not read, not listen to what they should not read, not listen to what they should not listen to. This is the way of the palace.

Di Lie didn't care about picking up a military newspaper and handed it to Huanhuan, and said with a smile: "Although it is a big deal, it is a good thing. The queen should know it sooner or later, so it's okay to take a look first."

Huanhuan took it respectfully. As soon as she glanced at her, she looked up in surprise: "The Western Army won a great victory, and the Xia Kingdom was destroyed!"

Di Lie nodded with a smile: "I didn't take it wrong. Yue Fei really didn't give up his trust. If the Twelve Divisions had sacrificed their lives and had to go around the country's confidant, they would have to fight this battle."

Huanhuan happily bowed her head and greeted her: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. After the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, the northwest will be free of worries from now on!"

Di Lie thought to himself, "Is there no worries?" I'm afraid that it may not be possible for Tubo, Xizhou Uighurs, Xi Liao, and Central Asian countries to be even more in the west. However, there is no need to let Huanhuan know about these things.

Perhaps Huanhuan was too happy, or perhaps it was Di Lie's previous acquiescence, after Huanhuan put down the first military newspaper, she subconsciously picked up the second one, her eyes touched, and her face changed slightly. She threw down the military newspaper like a hot hand, and hurriedly lying to apologize.

Di Lie hurriedly helped her up: "Why do you need this? I have said that the queen is inconvenient and she can't do such a great gift."

Huanhuan's face was still a little pale: "I know my crime and I missed the military plane."

"It's not considered a military aircraft." Di Lie cut off Huanhuan's words, picked up the military newspaper with his thumb and swayed it, and said lightly, "A bandit chaos broke out in Jingnan. Your ninth brother is busy."

Huanhuan sat upright and bowed her head, carefully raised her eyes and looked at Di Lie's face, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Di Lie raised his hand and snatched: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it straightforwardly, I won't blame you."

Huanhuan whispered: "Is the bandit chaos very serious?"

"Yes." Di Lie nodded affirmatively, then chuckled, "But the queen don't have to worry, the bandits will definitely be pacified--although there is no Yue Fei, but if you do this, Yue Fei may not necessarily be required."

Huanhuan was puzzled. Why was this related to Yue Fei? Of course she didn't know that in the original history, it was Yue Fei who suppressed the Yang Tai Rebellion.

Huanhuan bit her lip: "Will our country of China advance into Jiangnan?"

Di Lie stared at Huanhuan's bright and charming eyes, and nodded slowly and affirmatively: "Yes!"

What surprised Di Lie was that Huanhuan actually smiled relievedly, and Yingying bowed: "Thank you for your trust, that's good - why should you be surprised? I am the Empress of China. The prosperity of China is the welfare of Di. How could I not be happy about China's expansion of the border, but worry about the loss of land by my brother's dynasty?"

Di Lie's smile became more and more intense, and he finally raised his head and laughed: "Okay! Very good! Today's joy is so good. Come, I will accompany the queen to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

The emperor and the empress stood up hand in hand, looked at each other and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

Outside the hall, the sun is shining brightly and the flowers and trees are fragrant.
