Chapter 878 Grandpa Zong
"For more than thirty years since then, Senior Zong Ze has been serving in local positions and working for the people.
It was not until 1126 AD, when the Jin army marched southward to invade the Song Dynasty, that you, Mr. Zong Ze, were recommended to come to the capital to serve as a censor.
Everyone knows the character of the officials of the Song Dynasty, so naturally most of them want to make peace.
At that time, some people also suggested that you, Senior Zong Ze, should go as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to negotiate peace.
But before you left, Senior Zong Ze said: If the Jin Kingdom refuses to withdraw its troops, you will die for your country!
When Emperor Qinzong of Song heard about it, he felt that you were too upright and was afraid that you would affect the peace talks, so he sent someone else instead.
If we send Senior Zong Ze, it is hard to say whether the peace talks will be successful. After all, you are a man of integrity. How can you not be annoyed when you hear what the Jin people said?"
"My little fairy, I'm actually not that violent. But if the Jin man goes too far, I really can't help it," Zong Ze said of the Jin man with an expression of obvious disgust.
The Jingkang Incident had not yet happened in the dimension where he was, but they all knew about it.
How shameful it was! The Song Dynasty had lost all its reputation.
Now in the court, no one who has any shame dares to talk about peace talks.
Can't they see clearly what is waiting for them in the peace talks?
Zhao Yun and Qi Jiguang also nodded. That was exactly the case. Those who were not from the Song Dynasty were furious when they heard this, not to mention the people of the Song Dynasty. Who would not hate the Jin people?
"Later, Senior Zong Ze, you were sent to Cizhou to serve as the prefect.
This Cizhou is different. Cizhou is at the forefront of the war and is a very dangerous place.
Most of the officials sent by the imperial court before were cowards who refused to take office with various excuses.
After you accepted the assignment, Senior Zong Ze, you set off immediately without any hesitation.
After your arrival, you began to lead the local officers and soldiers to repair the city walls, train troops and store food, so as to be ready to deal with the attack of the Jin army at any time.
Soon, Taiyuan fell and thousands of Jin soldiers headed straight for Cizhou.
Senior Zong Ze, you put on armor and wielded a sword, personally went up to the city walls to command the battle. After repelling the attack of the Jin army, you went out of the city to pursue them, killing hundreds of Jin soldiers and gaining a large amount of spoils.
It greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the Song army in various parts of Hebei.
Senior Zong Ze, you have been appointed as the editor of the Secret Pavilion.
At this time, King Kang Zhao Gou was ordered to go to the Jin army camp to negotiate peace.
When passing by Cizhou, he was stopped by you, Senior Zong Ze. You believed that Zhao Gou would be in great danger if he went to negotiate peace this time, and you were determined not to let Zhao Gou leave Cizhou.
It can also be said that it was Senior Zong Ze who saved Zhao Gou, otherwise he would have been humiliated like his father.
"I wonder if you, Senior Zong Ze, regret stopping me?" Li Wu asked. In fact, she could guess how Zong Ze would answer.
"My little immortal, I don't regret it, even though I knew what would happen next. But you are the king, how can I not stop it?" Zong Ze said. Although he was very disappointed with what Zhao Gou did, the king was the king after all. If the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die.
The ones who were wrong were Qin Hui and those treacherous ministers. They were the ones who blinded the government's eyes.
Qi Jiguang also nodded. How could the emperor be wrong? It was always others who were wrong!
Li Wu shrugged. She knew that in ancient times, the emperor was the most powerful person in terms of imperial power. Besides, how could the emperor be wrong? Even if he was wrong, he was still right!
Even if the emperor wants to chop you off for no reason, you have to wash your neck and let him chop it off. You cannot resist, otherwise you will be disobeying his order.
"At that time, the main force of the Jin army was besieging the capital Kaifeng, and you, Senior Zong Ze, took advantage of the fact that the Jin army in Heshuo was weak in manpower.
They began to take the initiative and defeated the Jin army thirteen times.
But your victory, Senior Zong Ze, was not able to reverse the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Not long after, Kaifeng City was captured and Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong of Song were captured and taken north.
Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne in Nanjing and established the Southern Song Dynasty.
It was precisely because of your decision at that time, Senior Zong Ze, that the Song Dynasty was able to continue.
Although this continues, haha," Li Wu sneered twice, Zong Ze was silent, they are the Song Dynasty, alas.
Things will definitely get better and better, they believe, because they have so many talented people in the Song Dynasty.
The people of the Song Dynasty only felt uncomfortable in front of the sky curtain. They had changed a lot, but they still could not compare with other dynasties.
"Senior Zong Ze, you have been appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng, and you are asked to rebuild the old capital Kaifeng which has just experienced war.
At that time, the city of Kaifeng had been plundered by the Jin people. The city was in ruins, thieves were rampant, and the people were in panic.
The leader of the rebel army, Wang Shan, was a big bandit from Hedong. He had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of chariots, and wanted to occupy the capital city of Kaifeng.
Senior Zong Ze, you ignored the dissuasion of your subordinates and rode alone to Wang Shan’s camp.
You said to Wang Shan with tears in your eyes: The court is in danger now. Even if there are one or two people like you, how can the Jin people dare to invade?
In the end, Wang Shan was moved by your words, Senior Zong Ze.
So he laid down his arms and surrendered, and immediately expressed his willingness to submit to the court.
I didn't expect that Senior Zong Ze had the ability to persuade Wang Shan to surrender without wasting a single soldier. That's amazing," Li Wu gave Zong Ze a thumbs up. This was really amazing.
Zong Ze shook his head and said, "My little fairy, it's not that I'm so powerful, and they are not bad people at all, they are just forced to do so and want to protect themselves.
If you really want to resist, no matter how much you say, it will be useless. "
Zong Ze saw very clearly that Wang Shan and others did not want to rebel, but at that time, the Song Dynasty was invaded by the Jin people and the Song Dynasty was in that state.
"Young Master Zong Ze is right," Zhao Yun agreed. They also saw the other things clearly.
After dealing with them for a long time, you will naturally know which people can be persuaded and which people cannot be persuaded.
And how to persuade this is very particular.
Li Wu also nodded, thinking that Zong Ze was right.
“After that, Senior Zong Ze successively recruited the surrender of Yang Jin, Wang Zaixing, Li Gui, Wang Dalang and other rebels, greatly strengthening Kaifeng’s military strength.
At that time, Yue Fei, who was also a Bingyi Lang, would be executed if he broke the law.
But Senior Zong Ze, you think Yue Fei is a talented general.
At that time, the Jin army was attacking Sishui, so Senior Zong Ze gave Yue Fei 500 cavalrymen, hoping that he would lead the troops to resist the Jin army and make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins.
The result is obvious. When General Yue Fei takes action, he is sure to win.
In 1127 AD, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River many times, harassing counties and cities along the river and launching exploratory attacks.
In the end, they were all defeated by you, Senior Zong Ze. When the Jin people talked about you, Senior Zong Ze, they expressed both respect and fear.
Every time I talk to the Song people about Senior Zong Ze, they call you Grandpa Zong, which shows how intimidating you are to the Jin people."
"Hahaha... Grandpa Zong, that's right, those golden men should indeed call me Grandpa Zong," Zong Ze laughed. He liked this name very much. Those little golden men were no match for him!
The Song Dynasty has no shortage of military generals.
Qi Jiguang looked at Zong Ze with sympathy. Zong Ze looked at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Senior Zong Ze, you will know if you listen further," Qi Jiguang sighed, expressing his sympathy for the Song Dynasty generals.
Born at the wrong time, born at the wrong time!
