…

In the more than two years after Zhao Gou fled to Lin'an, especially in the year and a half after the signing of the "Grand-General Peace Agreement" by the Chinese and Song dynasties, it can be said that it was the happiest period of Zhao Gou's life.

Before, when he was in the city of Bianliang, Zhao Gou was the King of Kang, but because his mother Wei Xianfei was not liked by Zhao Ji, he had to live with his tail between his tail every day. It can be said that he was cautious and naturally he had no happiness.

Later, the Jin people came over, and Zhao Gou escaped by chance, but was displaced and was in danger of peace.

Nowadays, many people are slandering Zhao Gou, saying that he "has made a secret plan to bring peace to peace; he has brought troops into the guards, but instead he is the only one who protects himself."

In other words, Zhao Gou calculated that if the Jin people came to Bianliang City, they would definitely be captured, and then they would find an opportunity to escape from Bianliang City. Then they gathered soldiers from all over the world, instead of saving his father and brother, they would use hundreds of thousands of troops to protect himself.

This is of course a slander against Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou, who was only nineteen years old at the time, had the amazing foresight ability to predict that the Jin people would be destroyed when they came to Bianliang City, the Southern Song Dynasty would not have fallen into such a field now.

Besides, Zhao Gou gathered all the soldiers in the world, and instead saved his father and brother, he used hundreds of thousands of soldiers to protect himself.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou had more than 100,000 troops, but the strength of those troops was too great compared to the Jin army. The key is that many of them did not obey his orders, so how could he bring the army to serve the king?

Of course, Zhao Gou made all the choices after that, including his father and brother who refused to ask for his death, his tribe members, and watching his mother and concubines and all the women of their Zhao family become Li Yan's playthings.

During that period of displaced, Zhao Gou witnessed the desolation of the countryside and the devastation of the people with his own eyes. It can be said that he was used to seeing the sufferings of the world.

After finally reaching the beautiful Jiangnan, Zhao Gou, who had already broken through the ethical constraints, naturally had to have a good rest.

Zhao Gou appointed Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan as prime ministers, allowing this pair of treacherous ministers with similar taste to preside over the government. He also said proudly: "Boyan and Qianshan are the ministers of the right and left, and I will be free from worry from now on."

Zhao Gou lamented that he had been wandering for so many years and thought that he could finally settle down and enjoy it, so he lived a comfortable life in Lin'an.

The green mountains and buildings outside the mountains, when will the singing and dancing in West Lake be over? The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they make Hangzhou Bianzhou.

Unexpectedly, the central army rushed across the river in just over a year!

Zhao Gou did not want to fight with the central army, so he endured humiliation and begged Li Yan to let the central army return to the court.

But Li Yan's heart was actually made of iron stone. He ignored their uncle and nephew, even father-son family affection, and had no intention of retreating!

Forced to the point of helplessness, Zhao Gou could only let the front-line army fight the invasion of the central army.

At the same time, Zhao Gou began to make plans for the next step.

First of all, accountability must be held!

There is nothing wrong with the emperor Zhao Gou.

The one who is wrong is the minister, but the minister who mistakes Emperor Zhao Gou.

It was the ministers who told Zhao Gou that the Central Army would not fight, but Zhao Goucai was not prepared, and the Song army was caught off guard by the Central Army.

So who is the specific person in charge?

The two prime ministers Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan are definitely to blame. If they were not capable and visionless prime ministers, saying in his ears every day, "The Central Lord has lost his ambitions and has begun to fall, and the Song Dynasty is safe." How could Zhao Gou not be prepared for the Central Army?

Therefore, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan are the culprits and must be punished.

but--

Having said that, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan have made contributions to the country after all, and have been with him, Zhao Gou for so long, he can't do things too well.

Finally, after comprehensive consideration, Zhao Gou demoted Wang Boyan to Yongzhou and demoted Huang Qianshan to Meizhou.

After asking for the responsibility, Zhao Gou discussed with the civil and military ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty what to do next?

What else can I do?

Just as Zhao Gou said in his letter to Li Yan, "In ancient times, those who were forced to die in danger were just guarding and running away." That is, when Li Yan did not express his compassion, they either insisted or could only run away.

Zhao Gou is worthy of his name as "Zhao Paopao", and his first thought is to run.

Moreover, Zhao Gou had already figured out where to go.

There is the western region, and Zhao Gou is preparing to take this opportunity to move the capital to Xingyuan Prefecture.

When Zhao Gou said he would run away, he was about to leave. He didn't want to be blocked at home like his father and brother, and was caught.

Soon, Zhao Gou asked his concubines to pack his luggage, and he was going to take them to "visit" Xingyuan Mansion.

But just as Zhao Gou was about to set off, news suddenly came back from the west saying that the central army had also taken action in the west, and the central army had used at least 200,000 troops in the west, and the offensive was even more fierce than the eastern part. At present, Chang'an has been conquered by the central army, and the front of the central army was the Xingyuan Mansion where Zhao Gou was going to "visit" for the "visit".

This made Zhao Gou stop his about to run - he was very scared. As soon as he arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, the central army would come over!

What's more, Zhao Gou sent people to the west to secretly send back the news: Although the situation of warlord separatism there improved after Zhang Jun arrived in the west, the situation there was still very chaotic.

Moreover, after Wu Jie arrived in the western region, he used his previous connections in the Western Army to vigorously rebel generals and captured large numbers of rebels in the western region. Although Zhang Jun did not report it, Zhao Gou actually knew that so far, Song generals Wang Zeren, He Shifan, Zhang Zhongfu and others led more than 20,000 troops to join the Central Army. Meng Di, Zhang Mian, Zhang Jian and other rebels were also incorporated by Wu Jie.

In such a western region, would Zhao Gou dare to go?

So, after thinking about it, Zhao Gou decided not to go to the western region for the time being.

But apart from the western region, Zhao Gou really has no place to go.

Just as Zhang Jun and Zhao Gou said at the beginning, the Navy is the best in the world, so it is unsafe in the sea and even the coastal areas. In the southeast, there are Li Cheng, Zhong Xiang and other rebels operating in the abdomen.

Let me ask, where can Zhao Gou escape?

In the end, Zhao Gou could only rely on the front line troops, hoping that they could withstand the central army.

but--

Zhao Gou would not be like his brother Zhao Huan, who was not prepared for anything. He just waited foolishly for the enemy to kill him and then be captured by himself.

Zhao Gou may have heard of Yelu Yanxi running for 45 years. The Jin army used hundreds of thousands of troops but failed to capture his glorious deeds. Therefore, he also grabbed medicine according to the prescription and ordered people to prepare thousands of good horses and put all his own possessions on the back of the horse. In addition to the horses, Zhao Gou ordered people to prepare dozens of large ships to prepare for boats and horses to ride when the future is in crisis.

Zhao Gou had even thought about it and just waited for the central army to reach Taihu Lake, he started running.

Zhao Gou didn't want to resist and just wanted to run away. Wouldn't he be afraid of laughter from all over the world?

Of course not afraid.

If you are afraid, Zhao Gou can't do this.

Furthermore, Zhao Gou, like Yelu Yanxi, also has his own set of rhetoric.

Zhao Gou said that the matter of defending the capital and the country should be done by the princes, not by the emperor.

Zhao Gou believed that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were small and foreign enemies came to invade. Because the princes had no place to run, they could only defend the city. Now he is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, with a vast country and could go to other places to regroup and make a comeback, so he would never do such stupid things as defending the country.

Zhao Gou also found an argument for him, saying that Li Gang advised my father and brother to defend Tokyo Bianliang to the death. As a result, my father and brother were arrested at the same time during the Jingkang Battle. If he had escaped at that time, wouldn't it be fine.

From this, Zhao Gou concluded that he would never do stupid things that he would resist, so he would not be afraid of burning firewood if he left the green mountains?

However--

It’s a pity that Zhao Gou made a lot of calculations, but he still showed that he had one thing to do!
