- The wine is still warm, the scenery of the ancient pavilion is unique, and the drinker is also a refined person.
This was the Northern Song Dynasty, the weakest but also the strongest dynasty in Chinese history.
For example, in Chinese history, no dynasty was weaker than the Song Dynasty when it came to soldiers' combat effectiveness. Similarly, no dynasty was stronger than the Song Dynasty when it came to money.
None of the emperors of the Song Dynasty had ever worried about money. Even when Wang Anshi proposed the so-called "three redundants" at the time of the Reform, he definitely did not take Wang Anshi's words about the emptiness of the treasury seriously.
In fact, the Song Dynasty can be said to be a strange dynasty.
The army of the Song Dynasty was actually not weak. This country with an unprecedentedly developed economy had the most regular professional soldiers in the world at that time. Both the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army were all professional soldiers.
However, the Song Dynasty also had one of the biggest problems, that is, there were no good generals.
"It is easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find a general. This is the most true portrayal in the Song Dynasty. However, the difficulty of finding a general in the Song Dynasty was not because the entire country could not find good generals, but because the Song Dynasty did not want to find good generals at all.
A general who is famous, has prestige, is loved by his subordinates, and is invincible is naturally a great general, but which emperor in the Song Dynasty would dare to use such a general. The origin of Zhao Kuangyin's throne determined that such a general could not appear in the Song Dynasty.
In fact, not to mention the Song Dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty was the same. The first thing Zhu Yuanzhang did after he secured the throne was to raise his butcher knife high and kill all the generals he saw. Just because of this Once a general rebels, he may change the world if he is not careful.
"Shield technique, spear technique. Sword technique, or arrow technique?"
Huang Shang drank the wine in the glass and suddenly spoke. This question was extremely strange. Ziqin was slightly startled, and then he seemed to understand what Huang Sang was asking.
"Shield method."
He replied in a deep voice, and couldn't help but look at Huang Shang again. Could this guy be the same? However, this guy didn't look like he was practicing martial arts. His energy and spirit were certainly very strong. But just having energy and energy does not necessarily mean that you are strong in martial arts.
"Swords, shields, spears and arrows. The military formations are connected. The army under Taizu relied on these to sweep the world. If not for his untimely death, I am afraid that the sixteen states of Yanyun would have returned to the embrace of the Song Dynasty."
Huang Shang smiled bitterly. "My grandfather would tell me every day when he was a child about how he traveled around the world with Taizu. This is an eternal pain for a Song Dynasty person."
"Mian Zhong. Come and have a drink."
Before Huang Shang finished speaking, the old man suddenly raised his glass, and a serious expression appeared on his face at some point. The look in Huang Shang's eyes also held a hint of reproach.
"Mr. Su, thank you for your care. It's just that Mian Zhong has a sense of propriety. It's just that some words have been held in Mian Zhong's heart for a long time. Today, when I meet the descendants of my grandfather's colleagues, I can't help but say it out."
Huang Shang gratefully bowed her hands towards the old man, and then couldn't help but sigh again.
"The shame of our Song Dynasty today is the disaster left by Emperor Taizong."
Huang Shang's words were even more extreme. As soon as he said the words, the old man's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull Huang Shang's clothes.
However, Huang Shang still ignored the old man's behavior.
Suddenly he poured a glass of wine down his throat, Huang Shang's eyes turned red, and he looked at Ziqin as if he was a little drunk.
"Emperor Taizong had already defeated the Northern Han Dynasty that day. He only needed to wait a little longer for the results to be consolidated and the soldiers to regain their energy before marching north. He would definitely be able to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun. In fact, long before Emperor Taizong, Tai My ancestor once followed Zhou Shizong to the north to attack Khitan. If Zhou Shizong had not died of illness, I am afraid that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would have been dominated by the Han people."
A person who drinks too much will always talk a lot. At this time, Huang Shang had already talked a lot, but what he said made Ziqin a little interested.
In the history that Ziqin has read in the past, it seems that the Khitans have been suppressing the Han people since the end of the Tang Dynasty. However, Ziqin did not know that the Han people had a history of almost beating the Khitans.
"In that battle, Emperor Taizong was too hasty. Not only did he ruin the elite left by Taizu, but also made the Song Dynasty lose its spirit. What was even more abominable was that during the second Northern Expedition that followed, Emperor Taizong was actually worried. Yang Ye's outstanding achievements secretly led Pan Mei to take the opportunity to get rid of this Yang Wudi, which also caused the second Northern Expedition to completely fail."
Huang Shang slammed the table and shouted loudly, but over there, the old man also slapped the table and shouted loudly.
"Mian Zhong, you drank too much."
The old man is definitely not young anymore, he is probably his great-great-grandfather in this era, but this roar is extremely loud, and it seems to have a vague momentum that makes people think clearly.
Ziqin¡¯s heartStunned, he couldn't help but look at the old man again.
Breath, this old man actually gave Ziqin an indescribable breath. It felt as if the person sitting in front of him was not an old man, but an aura of awe.
"My old friend can't drink. Su Shi is here to keep me company for my little brother."
The old man picked up his wine glass and spoke, but as soon as the words came out, Ziqin almost jumped up.
Su Shi, Su Dongpo, Su Dongpo is famous for his generosity and heroic spirit.
No wonder the old man can still have such a powerful spirit. He who can sing about the great rivers flowing eastward, who can sing about when the bright moon will come, and who can sing about the left hand holding the yellow and the right grabbing the sky, will probably never die until he is old. There will be no signs of weakness.
¡°It turns out that it¡¯s Mr. Su who¡¯s in front of you. The younger generation doesn¡¯t dare to be respectful to Mr. Su, so I¡¯ll give you a toast to Mr. Su.¡±
Ziqin quickly filled a glass for himself, and then raised his glass to Su Dongpo in an upright manner. There were countless literati in Chinese history, but Su Dongpo was definitely at the top. Ziqin had the system and came from In the twenty-first century, there is absolutely nothing to be satisfied with in front of such people.
Such people should be the treasures of human civilization. Everyone, as long as they are individuals, should have a kind of respect for them.
"My little brother, please don't take Mian Zhong's words seriously. Although Yang Ye has died, the generals of the Yang family are still there, and the Western Army is still there. If Taizong was really like what Mian Zhong said, how could there be the current Western Army."
Su Dongpo¡¯s voice was calm, but Ziqin heard two meanings from it.
The first thing is to excuse Huang Shang, or to excuse what Huang Shang said just now. After all, when those words reached the emperor's ears, it was a custom in the Song Dynasty not to be punished for speech, which was probably enough to make Huang Shang drink a pot.
The second meaning made Ziqin extremely amused, that is, in Su Dongpo's words, he secretly admitted that Yang Ye was indeed killed by Pan Mei under Taizong's instructions.
In fact, this problem is easy to figure out. Pan Mei was a classic sycophant on TV in later generations. However, in fact, in history, Pan Mei was not really so unbearable.
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the southern regime was wiped out and Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, Pan Mei made great contributions. At that time, Yang Ye was still a general of the Northern Han Dynasty.
So let¡¯s look at the Song Dynasty. Pan Meowei actually had more merit than Yang Ye.
And during the Second Northern Expedition, Yang Ye was just Pan Mei's subordinate. Even if Pan Mei is a bit narrow-minded, there seems to be no reason to get rid of Yang Ye.
From this point of view, Pan Mei's plan to punish Yang Ye may indeed have been prompted by Taizong.
"The emperor's family affairs have nothing to do with me. Although my ancestor is a personal guard, he has been in the country for a long time."
I thought about it for a while. Ziqin suddenly smiled softly. Although these histories are sometimes very interesting to people, they don't seem to have much to do with him now. It seems that there is no need to fill Xiaoyang with water. Things in the early Northern Song Dynasty will be related to Taizu's martial arts lineage, as well as the grievances between Xiaoyao Sect and Taizu's lineage).
"It doesn't matter, my family, my country, my country, my junior brother, have I never thought about stepping into the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and entering the land that the Han people have lost for more than a hundred years."
Huang Shang, who seemed drunk, suddenly roared violently. His eyes were still blood-red, but his eyes were already as sharp as the most amazing lightning in summer.
"The Taizu's personal guard line has still not forgotten the defeat a hundred and twenty years ago. They will only wait for the opportunity to return to the north and avenge their previous humiliation."
Huang Shang's voice was decisive, and the energy in his body became more and more solid, and he looked as powerful as a lion about to hunt.
Ziqin's expression was also straight, but what he cared about was not the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition in the Northern Song Dynasty was not the Northern Expedition. To say something unpleasant really had nothing to do with Ziqin.
Most importantly, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were more and more outrageous. Zhao Kuangyin was unrivaled in martial arts, so the most perfect emperor of the Five Dynasties, Zhou Shizong, died in an unknown way. He also died when he was about to conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, leaving the Han people in vain Losing an opportunity to regain the land of Yan and Zhao, well, everyone accepts that Song Taizu ascended the throne without any reason.
And something even more abominable happened immediately. When the South was in peace and Taizu was about to make the Northern Expedition, he would first recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and then destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. The same fate as Zhou Shizong befell Taizu.
The next person to appear was Taizong. This guy was the most outrageous. How did he use the most elite troops under Taizu's command? When he was fighting Taiyuan, this guy had the most elite troops under Taizu's command perform sword dances, flying swords, and swordsmanship in front of the city. The sword was said to boost morale, but in fact those elite soldiers, who were invincible on the battlefield, led the emperor's order to perform. After the performance, their entire faces were already red, so why did they fight?
?Then he attacked Yanyun, starting from Kaifeng, and captured Taiyuan, a few months later, they had to perform a flying sword show for him as an actor. Taizu's elite team was already exhausted mentally and physically, but Taizong didn't have the slightest intention to pity this elite team and didn't give them any rest time. Insist on him continuing north to Yanyun.
After going north, Taizong became arrogant and even directly commanded the army. The tragedy began. Taizu's elite troops were defeated in a battle, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
The form of changing generals was popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, military generals and civilian officials generally rotated. Everyone lined up, and after a period of time, it was one person's turn to go to an army, and then he wore it for a period of time and then changed to another army.
Because of this, Taizong had a problem with Yang Ye. The Northern Han Dynasty surrendered generals and made officials in the border areas. He had a loyal army under his command. Most importantly, Mr. Yang Ye was invincible in every battle and was known as Yang Invincible.
Just kidding, this is not the epitome of the second Taizu, so Yang Ye must die.
This was the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was a country where everything must be settled first. Zi Qin really didn¡¯t know what to say about such a dynasty. He admired the literati and even ordinary people of this dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty perished, and more than ten people jumped into the sea and died. Thousands of people, throughout the dynasties, there is no one like him who has died for his country.
But Ziqin also ignored the emperors of the Song Dynasty, because the emperors of this dynasty did not have the slightest bit of spirit of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Although the latter also had many cowardly emperors, he achieved the ultimate in two sentences: the king died in the country, and the emperor guarded the country.
"There are no more Taizu personal guards in this world."
Ziqin drank a glass of wine, then put the glass on the table, got up and left.
"No, Taizu's personal guards are still there. As long as we are still there, Taizu's lineage will never disappear. Come to Liumen, we can finally reproduce the style of our ancestors."
Huang Shang's voice suddenly sounded low. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
