It is said that the Song Dynasty's Song Gaozong - King Jin Hailing usurped the throne and tore up the peace talks and began to attack the Song again

In 1148, the eighth year of the Reign of the Jin Emperor, the Emperor Wushu of The Southern Song Dynasty who frequently invaded the Southern Song Dynasty died, and the King of Hailing, Guanyan Liang, was made the Right Minister. Jin Xizong completed Yan Qi was the third emperor of the Jin Kingdom, during his reign, because of the assistance of a capable minister such as Completed Yan Zonggan and Completed Yan Zongbi, he was an emperor who was obedient, but later with the death of Zong Gan and Zong Bi, Jin Xizong completed Yan Qi's inability to control the situation, coupled with the fact that the empress was so childless, Completed Yan Qi began to drink often until he was drunk, and after drunkenness, He Yan Qi would often kill people. Later, more and more people were killed after Yan Qi, first killing the attendants around him without a word, and later even the emperor's brothers Completed Yan Yuan, Completed Yan Cha la, Empress Pei Manshi and concubines were all killed. After yan Qi's death performance, the ministers around him were terrified, and everyone began to endanger themselves, and everyone felt precarious.

King Yan Liang of Hailing was the son of Emperor Yanzonggan, and his abilities were outstanding, and he had always been suspected by Jin Xizong. In 1149 (the eighth year of the reign of the Jin Emperor), Yan Liang launched a coup d'état to kill Emperor Xizong of Jin, and Yan Liang established himself as emperor.

Guan Yanliang was a very ambitious man, and he believed that the Jin Dynasty could not be satisfied with signing a peace treaty with the Song Dynasty, but would fight through Jiangnan and completely end the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty, so as to realize his dream of unifying the world.

In 1152, Yan Liang began to move the capital to Yanjing, believing that putting the capital in Liaoyang was too remote and unfavorable to the rule of Hedong and Hebei, and at the same time moving the capital Yanjing also shifted the focus of the heavy matters south to prepare for the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty.

In 1159, Yan Liang began to recruit troops for the formal attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, and at the same time used Kaifeng as the Nanjing of the Jin Dynasty, and the attack base was further moved forward.

Yan Liang's plan to attack the Song Dynasty had been in full swing, but the Southern Song Dynasty side did not know anything, Song Gaozong Zhao Shuo was still immersed in a peaceful nest, Shaoxing peace talks made him feel that he could sit safely and steadily in Jiangnan and enjoy half of the country, if the days could go on like this, Zhao Shuo would feel very satisfied.

He Zhengdan, sent by the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, made Sun Daofu learn from all sides that the Jin State was going to launch another southern invasion, and immediately after returning to China, he reported the relevant information to Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Shuo, who did not think that this information was reliable, and he believed that the Song Dynasty fulfilled the peace treaty in a disciplined manner, paid tribute on time, and what reason did the Jin State have to attack the Song Dynasty.

The Jin Dynasty sent An envoy to He Zhengdan of the Song Dynasty, Shi Yisheng, who was originally a Native Shaowu of Fujian And later served as an official under the pseudo-Qi Liu Yu. After Shi Yisheng came to Lin'an in the Song Dynasty, the officials who received him in the Song Dynasty believed that Shi Yisheng was a Han chinese but was fighting for the Jin people, so they secretly ridiculed Shi Yisheng as the "first hill". Shi Yisheng paid no attention to this insulting remark, and when talking, Shi Yisheng said meaningfully: "Today the north wind is strong." Shi Yisheng said this to mean that he was implying that the Jin State was going to attack, and at the same time, he was afraid that the officials on the Song Dynasty side would not understand, so he knocked on the table with his pen and said: "Pen come, pen come!" This means that the Song Dynasty should pay attention to it.

Although Zhao Zhuo was very reluctant to believe that the Jin people would tear up the peace treaty and attack, the reality was cruel, and the world was not peaceful because of Zhao Shuo's good wishes. In 1160, Zhao Sent Ye Yiqing to send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom, and by the way, he found out the truth. After Ye Yiwen returned, he confirmed to Zhao That the Jin Dynasty would indeed soon attack the Southern Song Dynasty.

In 1161, Jin Guo finally attacked, because he really couldn't find any reason, Jin Guo sent people to Lin'an to insult Emperor Gaozong of Song. Today, we can't find out how the Jin people scolded Zhao Shuo at that time, but we guess that it is nothing more than saying that you Zhao Shuo is the emperor, and you only deserve to give us the emperor's shoes and so on. Scold it, Zhao Zhuo endured, who called us weak. However, when the Jin people saw that the scolding was ineffective, they sent words to the Song Dynasty to send people to Kaifeng to cut the land, which was originally bounded by the Huai River and now bounded by the Yangtze River.

In the face of the aggressiveness of the Jin people, the southern Song Dynasty's courtiers began to talk about it, and most of them advocated running away quickly. Of course, Zhao Shuo is no exception, he also advocates escaping again, and then taking refuge at sea.

But a man named Chen Kangbo stood up and spoke, he said: "You cowards, the Jinguo people have scared you into rats, and now it is the Jinguo people who have defeated the alliance, they are in the front, the heavens and the people are indignant, do we have any reason to retreat again?" ”

The people of Lin'an City also rose up one after another to demand to join the war, and Emperor Gaozong of Song made up his mind to meet the enemy.

Yan Liang's troops attacked the Southern Song Dynasty in four ways, the western road sent troops from Dashanguan in Shaanxi, the middle road attacked Xiangyang from the south of Kaifeng, and the other road directly attacked Lin'an Province from the sea, and the main force was led by Yan Liang personally to break through the Yangtze River from Huainan.

Emperor Gaozong of Song then ordered him to prepare for battle and meet the enemy in four ways. With Wu Xuan as the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, he was responsible for the defense of Sichuan and Shaanxi; the veteran general Liu Kui was made an envoy to Huainan, Jiangnan, and western Zhejiang, restraining the troops and horses of the various roads and horses, and undertaking the heavy task of fighting against the main force of the Jin army in the Jianghuai region; chengmin as the envoy of jinghu, leading 30,000 troops to Ezhou, corresponding to wu gongjiao, who was guarding Xiangyang, to defend the middle reaches of the Yangtze River; with Li Bao as the envoy to the coast, he led 120 sea boats to the north from the sea route to attack the Jinshui army.
