Character's life and early experience

Liu Yu was born in a farming family. He lacked education and virtue since he was a child. He once stole platinum bowls and gauze clothes from his classmates. During the Yuanfu period (1098-1100), Liu Yu passed the Jinshi examination. In the second year of Zhenghe (1112), he was appointed as the imperial censor, but was attacked by admonishers. Song Huizong did not want to expose his past scandals, so he issued an edict not to pursue him. Soon, Liu Yu wrote many times about the etiquette system. Song Huizong said: "Liu Yu is a farmer in Hebei, how can he understand the etiquette system?" He demoted Liu Yu to inspect the two Zhejiang provinces. In the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124), he was sentenced to Guozijian and worshiped as an official to punish him in Hebei. Bend the knee and surrender the gold

The Jin Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty from the south, and Liu Yu abandoned his official position and went to Yizhen to escape the chaos. Liu Yu had a good relationship with Zhang Cui, the minister of Zhongshu. In the first month of the second year of Jianyan (1128), Liu Yu was appointed as the prefect of Jinan on Zhang Cuo's recommendation. At that time, there were a lot of thieves in Shandong, and Liu Yu was unwilling to go. He asked to be transferred to a county in the southeast. The governor hated him and refused, so Liu Yu took office angrily. In the winter of the same year, the Jin army attacked Jinan. Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin to fight. The Jin army surrounded Jinan heavily. The deputy chief Zhang Jian sent more troops to help, and the Jin army withdrew. Jin took the opportunity to send people to persuade Liu Yu with benefits. Liu Yu remembered his previous resentment and plotted a rebellion. He killed his general Guan Sheng and led the people to pay gold. However, the people refused, so Liu Yu surrendered to the city. In March of the third year of Jianyan (1129), Wanyan Zongbi heard that Zhao Gou had crossed the Yangtze River, so he sent Liu Yu to know Dongping Prefecture and serve as the pacification envoy on the east and west roads of Beijing and Huainan to control the Daming, Kaide Prefecture, Pu, Bin, and Bo. In the , Di, De, Cang and other prefectures, Liu Lin was the prefect of Jinan, and the south of the Yellow River was commanded by Liu Yu. Pretending to be emperor

On July 27th of the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), the Jin Dynasty sent Datong Yin Gaoqingyi and Zhizhi Gaohan R to confer Liu Yu as emperor, and the country was named Daqi. Daming Mansion. Previously, Ruihe grew out of Shunyu Gate in Beijing, and fishermen in Jinan caught eels. Liu Yu thought it was Fu Rui who had ascended to the throne, so he sent Liu Lin to bribe Jin Zuojian Wan Yanchang with heavy gifts and asked him to be granted the title. emperor. Wan Yanchang agreed and sent envoys to Liu Yu's headquarters to ask the army and the people who should be appointed as emperor. Before they could answer, Liu Yu's fellow countryman Zhang Pao went beyond the order and answered, requesting that Liu Yu be appointed emperor. So he decided to appoint him, and ordered Gao Qingyi and Han Rifang to do so. Prepare a treasure book with seals and ribbons to canonize him.

On the ninth day of September, Liu Yu ascended the throne as the pseudo-emperor, granted amnesty to the territory, and followed the reign name of Jin, which was called Tianhui for eight years. Zhang Xiaochun was the prime minister, Li Xiaoyang was the left prime minister, Zhang Jian was the right prime minister, Li Chou was the supervisory censor, Zheng Yinian was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Qiong was left behind in Bianjing, and his son Liu Lin was the Taizhong doctor and leader. All soldiers and horses know Jinan Prefecture. Zhang Xiaochun initially stayed in Taiyuan and was very loyal. Because Wang Yi was a close friend of Zhang Xiaochun, Zhao Gou asked him to recruit Zhang Xiaochun. It happened that he sent Wanyan Zonghan from the clouds to send him to Liu Yu, so he lost his integrity to the rebels.

Liu Yu returned to Dongping, promoted Dongping to Tokyo, changed Tokyo to Bianjing, and demoted Nanjing to Guide Prefecture. His younger brother Liu Yi was left behind in Beijing, and soon he was left behind in Bianjing. Huaining, Yingchang, and Xingrenfu were all reduced to prefectures. Because he was born in Jingzhou, served as the prefect of Jinan, controlled Dongping, and usurped the name of the name, he recruited thousands of young people from the above four counties, known as "Yuncong's children." Issue a false edict to speak out. In October, he named his mother Zhai the empress dowager, and his concubine Qian the queen. Qian was a palace official during the Xuanhe period and was familiar with the affairs of the palace. Liu Yu wanted to imitate various regulations in the palace, so he made her his queen. In November, the next year's name was changed to Fuchang.

Rebellion

Before Liu Yu took over the throne, he sent people many times to persuade Shangguan Wu, the deputy left behind in Tokyo, and bribed Shangguan Wu's confidant Qiao Sigong to persuade Shangguan Wu to surrender the money. Kill them all. He also summoned Zhao Li, the magistrate of Chuzhou, to surrender. Zhao Li killed his envoy without reading his letter. He also sent Zhao Li's friend Liu Pu, who was jealous and glutinous and flogged with sodium, from the war burden and said: "I am your old friend." Zhao Li said: "I know that there is a king and father, but I don't know that there are old friends." Liu Yu imprisoned him for a hundred days, but he did not give in; and he was given an official position, but he did not accept it.

Liu Yu searched for the Song Dynasty clan, and Yan Qi, the manager, hid the Song Dynasty clan and was killed by Liu Yu. The king's favor was summoned by Di Gonglang, but the king's favor was not available. Wenlin Lang Li Jiji and Wei Shi ordered Yao Bangji to abandon their official positions. Zhao Jun, the minister of imperial court, used Jiazi to mark the year instead of Liu Yu's year, and Liu Yu had nothing to do with him. Hong Hao had been trapped in the Jin Dynasty for a long time. Wanyan Zongwang persuaded him to serve as an official for Liu Yu, but he refused and was exiled to Haoleng Mountain. When the hermit Yin heard that Liu Yu had summoned him, he fled to the valley and traveled far into Shu. Song Ruwei, the deputy envoy of the State Council, used Lu Yihao's letter to urge Liu Yu to be loyal and righteous. Liu Yu said: "Have you not seen Zhang Bangchang? This is already the case, what else can you say!" kill. In the same month, Liu Yu built a temple for Chen Dong and Ouyang Che in Guide, which was a double temple system like Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan in the Tang Dynasty.

In May of the first year of Shaoxing (1131), Zhang Jun attacked and defeated Li Cheng, and Li Cheng fled back to Liu Yu. Wang Youzhi, a great traitor in Xiongzhou, once wrote to Liu Yu asking him to recruit Li Cheng, saying that Liu Guangshi and Lu Yihao were not talented generals and ministers who could rejuvenate the country. He was later reported, and an edict was issued to interrogate him and punish him with criminal law. In June, Liu Yu appointed Liu Lin as the general manager of military affairs and the prime minister Zuo. Set up a recruitment department in Suzhou to seduce Song fugitives.

The Jin people appointed Liu Yu, with the Yellow River as the boundary. Fearing that the people in the two river areas who had been trapped by the enemy and puppet territory would flee back, they ordered a large-scale search. Some were sold to other countries, and some were escorted to the clouds. In fact, it was to guard against Liu Yu.

In October, Liu Yu invaded the Song Dynasty and sent general Wang Shichong to lead Tibetan and Han troops to attack Luzhou. Wang Heng, the defender of Luzhou, lured Wang Shichong to death and defeated his army. In November, the commander-in-chief Ye Mengde recruited Wang Cai, the general of Liu Yu's army, to surrender. Guo Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the puppet Qin Dynasty, entered the army, but Wang Yan and Guan Shigu defeated him. Xue Anjing, the pseudo-intellect of Haizhou, and Li Hui, the general judge, surrendered to Xianzhou and surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

In February of the second year of Shaoxing (1132), Dong Xian of Zhi Shang Prefecture and Guo Prefecture rebelled against Liu Yu. Sang Zhong, the governor of Xiangyang, came to punish Liu Yu for his crimes. The imperial court immediately ordered Sang Zhong to concurrently serve as the governor to support the army and horses in the capital, assess the situation, and recover the prefectures and counties captured by Liu Yu. He still ordered Zhai Xing from Henan, Xie Qian from Jingnan, Wang Yan from Jin and Fang Prefectures, Chen Gui from De'an Prefecture, Kong Yanzhou from Qi and Huang Prefectures, and Wang Heng from Lu and Shou Prefectures to support each other without any trouble. In March, Sang Zhong was killed by his general Huo Ming. After hearing this, Gaozong appointed Sang Zhong's two sons as general officials. Zhai Xing, the governor of Henan, was stationed in Yiyang Mountain. Liu Yu thought it was a disaster, so he sent someone to surrender him and promised to grant him a royal title. Zhai Xing burned the false edict and killed the false envoy. Liu Yu secretly colluded with Zhai Xing's subordinate Yang Wei to plot against Zhai Xing. Yang Wei killed Zhai Xing and surrendered to Liu Yu with Zhai Xing's head.

On the fifth day of April, Liu Yu moved his capital to Bianjing. So the ancestors' spiritual thrones were enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the Song Dynasty, and his grandfather was named Emperor Huizu Yiwen, and his father was Emperor Yanzu Ruiren. Offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in person. That day, a storm rolled up the flags, shook the roof tiles, and made the soldiers and people fearful. Liu Yu held a general amnesty in Bianjing and made an appointment with the people: "From now on, there will be no indiscriminate pardons, no eunuchs, and no monks. There will be a variety of civil and military services, and there will be no qualifications." At that time, Jin soldiers were stationed in He, Huai, Shaanxi, and Shandong. , Liu Lin recruited more than 100,000 rural soldiers to form the Thirteenth Army of the Prince's Mansion. Taosha officials were set up in Henan and Bianjing respectively, so that all the tombs in these two capitals were excavated. If the wealth is excessive and burdensome, the people will not be able to make a living.

In May, Liu Yu heard that Sang Zhong had died and sent people to recruit Li Dao from Suizhou and Li Heng from Dengzhou to surrender. However, neither of them refused to surrender. Liu Yu's envoys were arrested and reported to the court. In June, Kong Yanzhou, the governor of Qi and Jiangxi, rebelled against Liu Yu, and his general Chen Yanming returned to the Song Dynasty with more than a thousand people. In order to stay in the puppet court, Ling Tangzuo of Zhihuiyouge, Shang Shulang Li Gen, and Song Ru, the deputy envoy of Guoxin, planned to write Liu Yu's falsehoods and truths in wax books and report them to the court. When the matter was revealed, Liu Yu killed Ling Tangzuo. Li Gen was also killed. Liu Yu appointed Li Ye, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, as Shangshu Youcheng, and Dong Xian, the governor of Henan Zhenfusi, as the vanguard general of the general manager's office. In December, Li Heng, the governor of Xiangyang, defeated Liu Yu's soldiers and horses in Yangshi. Taking advantage of the victory, he rushed to Ruzhou and pretended to defend Peng Wangji's city and surrendered. Liu Yu sent Liu Kui and Jin Shuai Sa Lihe to invade Shu. He seized Jinshi Xue Qiong and gave it to Liu Yu, advising him: "You should try to correct the situation as soon as possible, and maybe you can save the clan. Why do you have to show yourself to the public as a traitor and traitor with your wife and children in the future?" Liu Yu was furious and wanted to kill him with weapons, but it was all because of it. Zhang Xiaochun interceded and was spared. Aiding money is cruelty

On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the third year of Shaoxing (1133), Li Heng defeated Yingshun's army and the puppet guard general Lan He surrendered. On the sixth day of the lunar month, Liu Yu's troops were defeated in Changge. On the eighth day of the lunar month, Li Heng led his troops to Yingchang Mansion, pretending to appease Zhao Bi and defending the city. Li Heng attacked fiercely, but Zhao Bi escaped and regained Yingchang. In March, Li Ji, the commander of the Henan Zhenfu Division, defeated Liu Yu's general Liang Jin in Yitang, and Liang Jin was killed. In March, Liu Yu heard that Li Heng had captured Yingchang and asked Jin for help. Wanyan Zongwang sent Wanyan Zongbi to help, and Liu Yu also sent Li Cheng with 20,000 people to intercept the Song army at Moutuogang, northwest of the capital. Li Heng was defeated and Yingchang fell again. Li Heng's army was originally a group of thieves, brave but without military discipline. When they won, they fought for their children's gold and silk, so they failed. In April, Guozhou fell. Xie Gao, the commander of the Zhenfu Division, pointed to his abdomen and said to the enemy: "This is my true heart!" He died by caesarean section. Xie Gao, a native of Kaifeng. That month, Mingzhou garrison Xu Wen led 60 ships and more than 4,000 troops to Yancheng from the sea and surrendered to Liu Yu. Xu Wen said that the coastal areas of Song Dynasty were unprepared and they could attack the two Zhejiang provinces. Liu Yu was overjoyed and informed Xu Wen of Laizhou. He added twenty naval ships and asked him to harass the Song army between Tong and Tai.

In May, the Song Dynasty sent Han Xiaozhou and Hu Songnian as envoys to the puppet Qi. Liu Yu wanted to meet them with the etiquette of summoning ministers, but Han Xiaozhou said nothing. Hu Songnian said: "We are all Song ministers." He bowed his hands instead of kneeling. Liu Yu could not make them surrender. So he asked Zhao Gou how he was doing, and Hu Songnian said, "Long live the Holy Lord." Then asked Zhao Gou about his intentions, Hu Songnian said, "We must regain our old territory." Liu Yu felt ashamed.

At this time, Liu Yu completely occupied the land of Liang and Wei, and Zhai Cong was stationed at Fengniushan in Yiyang. He broke through to Xiangyang without any help. In September, Yang Zheng sent Sichuan and Shaanxi general Wu Sheng to defeat Liu Yu's army in Lianhua City. On October 18th, the bandit general Li Cheng captured Dengzhou and was guarded by Qi'an. On the 22nd, Xiangyang was captured and Li Heng fled to Jingnan. He learned that Li Dao of Suizhou abandoned the city and fled. Li Cheng occupied Xiangyang, and Wang Song knew Suizhou. On the 23rd, Yingzhou was captured and the defender Li Jian fled. Liu Yu ordered Jing Chao to know Yingzhou. The bandit general Wang Yan first led his troops from Bozhou to Shouchun and then marched to the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Guangshi stationed troops in Jiankang and guarded Majiadu. He sent Li Qiong to lead his troops to station in Wuwei Army to support Hao and Shou, and the puppet Qi troops retreated.

In December, the Jin Dynasty sent Li Yongshou and Wang Yi to apply for employment. Li Yongshou and others indulged their arrogance and requested that Liu Yu's captives and northwest people living in the south of the Yangtze River be released, and that the land in the north of the Yangtze River should be ceded to Liu Yu. Wu Shen, who was in charge of the salt tax in Guangzhou, wrote a letter requesting an attack on Liu Yu, saying: "Although the Jin people are powerful, they are not worth worrying about. Although the traitor Liu Yu is weak, they are really worrying. Now that the enemy's envoys are in the court, they should openly agree to their conditions." He plotted against them secretly and captured Liu Yu in a single battle while they were not suspicious.

"Gan was the first pawn

In the first month of the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), Qi Chongli, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, said: "Liu Yu and his son relied heavily on the Jin people, and Li Yongshou and others came from Liu Yu, so the boundary must be drawn by the river. It was Liu Yu's idea. Judging from his treacherous plot, he is spying on our country's territory. I am afraid that the envoys have been envoyed, and the favor will definitely be slack. The generals should be warned to strictly guard the border. Even if peace is reached, defenses cannot be relaxed. "Soon, the imperial court sent Zhang Yi to envoy Jin. When they arrived in Yunzhong, Wanyan Zongwang replied that he would not allow the Song army to garrison Huainan. Zhang Yi did not give in. When he came back, he passed by Bianjing. Liu Yu wanted to keep him, but he used a trick to escape. Xihe Road Guan Shigu, the commander-in-chief of the Ma Bu Army, failed in the battle with Liu Yu's army in Zuoyao Ridge, so he surrendered to Liu Yu.

In February, Liu Yuce became a Jinshi in May. He rebelled and surrendered to Liu Yu. Yue Fei, the governor of Shu, Qi and other prefectures, recovered Xiangyang, and Li Cheng fled, and soon recovered Suizhou in June, and beheaded Suizhou's puppet guard Wang Song in July. When Liu Yu heard that Yue Fei had captured Xiang and Deng, he asked Jin for help. Liu Yu was overjoyed and took Xu Wen as the vanguard. Attack Dinghai. In September, Liu Yu issued a false edict to send his son Liu Lin to invade the Song Dynasty, and to lure the Jin men Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyanchang, and Wanyan Zongbi to invade southward. , Chengjin troops, the cavalry rushed from Sizhou to Chuzhou. He also sent Lu Wei, the puppet magistrate, to request troops from Wanyan Sheng, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty. Wanyan Sheng called the generals to discuss. Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Xiyin opposed it, but Wanyan Zongfu thought it was okay. So Wanyan Zong was appointed as the deputy marshal on the left, and Wanyan Changquan was appointed as the deputy marshal on the right. He mobilized 50,000 Bohai and Han troops to support Liu Yu. Since Wu Shu had crossed the Yangtze River and was familiar with the terrain, Liu Yu appointed Liu Lin as the vanguard. Tai Shangshu Ling. The Song Dynasty was frightened. Some people advised Zhao Gou to go elsewhere. Zhao Ding said: "If you can't win against the enemy, it's not too late to leave." Zhang Jun said: "Where can we avoid the enemy?" " So he decided to fight in person. On the 26th, Liu Yu's army and the Jin army crossed the Huaihe River in separate ways. Fan Xu, the defender of Chuzhou, abandoned the city and fled. Han Shizhong, the Huaidong Xuanfu envoy, retreated from Chengzhou to Zhenjiang.

Ten On the first day of the month, Zhang Jun was ordered to reinforce Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi moved his army to Jiankang. He appointed Zhang Jun as his attendant. On the 13th, Han Shizhong fought in Dayi, and on the 14th, Jieyuan fought in Chengzhou. They all won. On the 21st, Liu Yu's notice included a message about Jiangnan. On the 23rd, the emperor set out from Lin'an and issued an edict to attack Liu Yu. The Song army's morale was high. Zhao Ding said: "Retreating is not possible, and crossing the river is not a good idea. Even if Liu Yu doesn't come in person, how can your majesty decide the outcome with Ni Chu? "Huaixi generals Wang Shisheng and Zhang Qi joined forces to recapture Nan Shouchun Mansion and captured Wang Jing, the puppet magistrate. On December 18, Yue Fei sent his generals Niu Gao and Xu Qing to defeat the Jin army in Luzhou. On the 26th, Jin The North Korean army retreated and sent an envoy to inform Liu Lin. Liu Lin abandoned his baggage and fled at night.

In the first month of the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135), Huaixi general Li Qiong regained Guangzhou and surrendered in leap February. Liu Yu sent Shang Yuan to attack the Xinyang army, and the military commander Shu Jiming killed Shang Yuan. In July, Liu Yu abandoned Mingtang as a martial arts hall. In August, Guangzhou was captured. In October, Liu Yu ordered the people to sell Ziyi. Taxation was levied according to the commercial tax law, that is, taxes were collected based on the amount of money sold. Liu Yu presented the "Sea Road Map" and the warship model to Jin Xizong Wanyan.

In the first month of the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), Liu Yu gathered troops in Huaiyang. Han Shizhong led his army to quickly besiege. The defender raised beacon fire six times in succession, and Wanyan Zongbi and Liu Yi joined forces to come to the rescue, but were defeated by Han Shizhong. In June, Liu Yu built Liulong City to observe the movements in Huaixi, but Wang Shisheng captured Hua Zhigang and captured his troops. The crowd returned. In September, Liu Yu stopped trading along the coast. Zhang Xiaochun said to Liu Yu: "I heard that the southerners have been building ships for a long time. If the wind comes from the north, it will be detrimental to me. "Liu Yu was afraid, so he stopped trading.

When Liu Yu heard that Zhao Gou was going to fight in person, he asked Wanyan for help. Wanyan Zongpan, who was in charge of the three provinces, said: "The first emperor established Liu Yu because he hoped that Liu Yu would open up frontiers and protect the territory. , I can control the troops and calm the people. Now Liu Yu cannot advance, cannot retreat, cannot defend, the army is in trouble, and he has no time to rest. Liu Yu benefited from sending reinforcements, but it was actually me who suffered the disadvantage. How could I agree to this? " Wanyan replied that Liu Yu allowed him to do his own thing, and temporarily sent Wanyan Zongbi to lead his troops to Liyang to act according to the situation.

So Liu Yu appointed Liu Lin as the leader of the Southeast Road Xingtai Shangshu Ling, Li Ye as the right prime minister of Xingtai, Feng Changning was the headquarters of Xingtai, Xu Qingchen was the general manager of troops and horses, and Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, and Guan Shigu were generals. They organized 300,000 militiamen and invaded the Song Dynasty in three routes. Liu Lin led the middle route troops and invaded Luzhou from Shouchun. In October, Liu Yi led his troops from the east route to attack Dingyuan via Zijing Mountain. His troops from the west route went to Guangzhou and invaded Lu'an, led by Kong Yanzhou. In October, Liu Yi's army was blocked by Han Shizhong and could not advance, so Liu Lin's army returned to Shunchang from Huaixi. Three pontoon bridges were built across the Huaihe River, and hundreds of thousands of thieves were stationed between Hao and Shou. Jiangdong pacified Zhang Jun to resist the enemy, and ordered all the Song troops in Huaixi to obey Zhang Jun's orders. He ordered the palace commander Yang Yizhong to go to Sizhou to meet Zhang Jun. When Yang Yizhong arrived at Haozhou, Zhang Jun sent someone to quarry the stone at night and told Liu Guangshi: "Anyone who dares to cross the Yangtze River will be killed." "Liu Guangshi had no choice but to return to Luzhou and echoed Yang Yizhong. Commander Wang De and Li Qiong sent troops from Anfeng, met three enemy generals and defeated them. Tens of thousands of Liu Yi's troops crossed Dingyuan and wanted to go to Xuanhua and invade Jiankang. Yang Yizhong met Liu Yi's army in Yuejiafang and defeated the puppet Qi army; they met again in Outang and defeated the puppet Qi army. Liu Yi fled. Liu Lin also broke up the camp and fled after hearing about it. One of Liu Lin's troops wrote a good hometown certificate. Liu Yu lost the hearts of the soldiers who hanged themselves because of their names.

When the Jin people heard that Liu Lin and others had failed, they questioned Liu Yu about his crimes and began to intend to abolish Liu Yu. When Liu Yu noticed this, he asked Liu Lin to be appointed crown prince to spy on the Jin man's intentions. The Jin people replied to Liu Yu: "Take your time. You should send people to inquire and solicit the opinions of the people in Henan."

In the spring of the seventh year of Shaoxing (1137), Liu Yu made a Jinshi and sent spies to set fire to Huaidian. , burned Liu Guangshi's warehouse. In February, Zhenjiang was burned again. Liu Yu felt depressed after Liu Lin's defeat. The people under Liu Yu's rule in the Central Plains looked forward to the Song army every day. In March, Zhao Gou entered Jiankang. In August, the commander Li Qiong captured Lu Zhi, led 30,000 troops to rebel and surrender to Liu Yu, and soon killed Lu Zhi. Liu Yu was very happy when he heard that Li Qiong had surrendered. He met him at the Wende Hall and awarded him the title of military governor of the Jingnan Army, with the title of Commander-in-Chief of Hongzhou. Li Qiong persuaded Liu Yu to invade the Song Dynasty. Liu Yu once again asked Jin for reinforcements and said that Li Qiong wanted to serve personally. The Jin Dynasty was afraid that Liu Yu would have too many troops to control, and wanted to use tricks to get rid of him, so he lied about Li Qiong's surrender and ordered Liu Yu to disband Li Qiong's army. He was deposed and died

The Jin Dynasty had already planned to depose Liu Yu, and Liu Yu was increasingly recruiting troops from the Jin people. The Jin Dynasty used the Jurchen Wanhu Shuba as the marshal's left capital to garrison troops in Taiyuan, and the Bohai Wanhu Isn't Huda Ta also the right governor of Tunhejian? Therefore, the Minister of Public Affairs played Liu Yu in governing the country without success and should be abolished. On November 18th, Liu Yu was defeated by Jin and became the king of Shu.

Previously, Wanyan ordered Wanyanchang and Wanyan Zongbi to invade south to Bian, deceived Liu Lin into Wucheng, commanded the cavalry to surround and capture Liu Lin from both sides, and then ran into the city again. Liu Yu was shooting arrows in the Wu Hall when Wanyan Zongbi led three cavalrymen to break into Donghua Gate. They dismounted and grabbed his hand. They went to Xuande Gate together and forced him to ride on the horse. The men on both sides showed their sharp swords and held him hostage. He was imprisoned in Jinming Pool. . The next day, he summoned all officials to issue an edict to rebuke Liu Yu, surrounded the palace gate with thousands of cavalry, and sent small schools to patrol the streets and alleys. He threatened: "From now on, you will not be issued as soldiers, and you will not be charged for exemptions." Qian, I will help you kill those who look like ferocious beasts, and invite your old master, the Young Emperor, to come here." Then people felt a little more at ease. The Xingtai Shangshu Province was established in Bian, with Zhang Xiaochun as the prime minister of Taizu. The puppet prime minister Zhang Ang was the magistrate of Mengzhou, Li Ye was the magistrate of Daizhou, and Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, Li Qiong, and Guan Shigu were each the governor of a county. The Jurchen Hu Shahu was left behind in Bianjing, and Li Chu was the deputy left behind. All armies ordered their soldiers to return to their fields, and the courtiers could get married. We got more than 1.2 million taels of gold, more than 16 million taels of silver, more than 900,000 hu of rice, 2.7 million bolts of silk, and more than 98.7 million taels of money.

Liu Yu begged and said: "We, father and son, have nothing to do against Dai Jin." Wan Yanchang said: "In the past, when the young emperor of the Zhao family left the capital, some people burned themselves to death, and the sound of wailing could be heard far and near. I can hear you. Now that you have been deposed, no one feels pity for you. Why don't you blame yourself?" Liu Yu couldn't answer and forced him to leave. He expressed his willingness to live in Han Qi's residence in Xiangzhou and agreed. Later, he and his son Liu Lin were moved to Linhuang. Jin made Liu Yu King Cao and gave him land to live in.

Regarding the time of Liu Yu's death, "History of Song" and "History of Jin" have different records. "History of Song" records that Liu Yu died in June of the thirteenth year of Shaoxing (1143, the third year of Jin Huangtong). , was sixty-five years old when he was deposed. "History of the Jin Dynasty" records that Liu Yu died in the sixth year of Huangtong (1146). Political Measures

After the establishment of the Qi puppet regime, Liu Yu followed the will of the Jin Dynasty and carried out brutal oppression politically, amassed wealth economically, and provided financial support to attack the Southern Song Dynasty militarily. Politics

In order to maintain the existence of the puppet Qi puppet regime, Liu Yu followed the ruling methods of the Jin Dynasty, each township and village, five families as security, recommended local tyrants as village chiefs, double Ding to fight, and single Ding to fight. Patrol at night, test bows and horses, and those who pass the test will be recruited into the regular army. Every time a person is transferred, the four families of Tongbao will prepare clothes, food, utensils, armor, etc., and the government will not waste any money.

"The Biography of Liu Yu of the State of Qi" in Volume 32 of "Da Jin Guo Zhi" records: "There are more than a hundred concubines in the Yu Palace, nine of whom are pregnant. His son Lin has a hundred and twenty maids. Both father and son are outside. It shows frugality, but inside it is fornication."

In Liu Yu's regime, many people were retained in office because they sacrificed their daughters and wives, and were sent out because of their sisters and sisters, such as Gao Li. There are even worse cases, such as Lian Gongjin, who serves Lin with his daughter. Lin entered Liu Yu with two people, so he appointed Lian Gongjin to supervise the warehouse. There was a man named Hou Zhuo whose corruption was exposed, so he gave his daughter to Liu Yu. Liu Yu believed that it is better to appoint someone with merit than to appoint someone with fault. So Hou Zhuo was promoted to the "Gold Medal Angel" and promoted Shaanxi. Military

In order to cooperate with the Jin's overall plan to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu's regime desperately gathered troops and recruited bandits from the south of the Yangtze River to form the 12th Puppet Sign Army. Li Qiong, Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, Xu Wen and other bandits strengthened the military power of the puppet Qi Dynasty. Especially after Jin assigned the land of Shaanxi to Liu Yu, the military power of the puppet Qi Dynasty was further strengthened.

Liu Yu attacked the Southern Song Dynasty twice with troops in the first month of the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135) and in September of the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136). He signed an army of 200,000 troops, known as 700,000, divided into three groups. To invade the south, his son Liu Lin led the army and invaded Hefei from Shouchun. Kong Yanzhou led the army from Guangzhou to attack Liu'an. Liu Ni, Liu Yu's nephew, led the army from Wukou to Dingyuan and headed towards Xuanhua. As a result, on October 4th, Liu Yu's army was first defeated at Anfeng; on October 8th, Liu Ni's army was defeated at Dingyuan; on October 11th, Liu Lin's army was defeated at Luzhou. This time, Liu Yu's soldiers lost 7,000 transport vehicles, more than 700 ships, weapons, armor, currency, military supplies, gold and silver and other rewards, which was beyond calculation. Liu Yu still refused to give up and tried every possible means to persuade the Jin regime to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.

In August of the seventh year of Shaoxing (1137), Liu Yu sent Han Yuanying, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to ask Jin for troops to attack the Song Dynasty. In September, he sent Feng Changning, a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to ask Jin to attack the Song Dynasty again, but the Jin Dynasty did not agree. Economy

In order to meet the needs of the puppet Qi ruling group and the Jin rule, Liu Yu accepted the request of Feng Changning, the Minister of Household Affairs, and established the "Tithe Law". The tithe law levied one-tenth of the people's annual income as a tax, which was the heaviest tax in history. In addition to the tithe law, there are also various miscellaneous taxes with numerous names, such as "taxes are collected on catkins, and fruits and vegetables are cut off. All fields in folk vegetable gardens are taxed in three seasons." Even folk graves, etc., are taxed in three seasons. The people in the four territories, regardless of age or age, had to pay taxes. The people under the rule of the puppet Qi lived extremely miserable lives, but Liu Yu lived a life of great corruption. Comments

Wanyan Zongpan: You can't advance forward, you can't defend when you retreat, the army will lead to disaster, and there will be no time to rest.
