Chapter 48 The Shame of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Turning Point of History

In the video, the young emperor succeeds to the throne, and the empress Xiao Chuo shows a weak character in front of the officials in order to win people's hearts.What should I do with the sentence that the mother and widow are weak, the clan is strong, and the frontier defense is not stable?Successfully won over a large number of loyal ministers loyal to the royal family.

With the help of these loyal ministers, Xiao Chuo carried out a series of reform measures that slowly transformed the Liao Kingdom from a nomadic nation to an agricultural nation.

When Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi succeeded in stealing his elder brother's position, in order to regain the Sixteen States of Yanyun, he took advantage of the opportunity when the young emperor ascended the throne and the queen was in power in the Liao Kingdom, and divided his troops into three groups to seize the Sixteen States of Yanyun.Finally failed.

Liao Tonghe four years to Tonghe 22 years.

During the eight years, Xiao Chuo personally led the army to conquer the Northern Song Dynasty three times.

In the first "Battle of Feihukou", Yang Ye, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, was captured alive.

The second time, Xiao Chuo led his army to attack Suicheng, defeated the Song army in Yingzhou, captured Northern Song generals Kang Shaoyi and Song Shun alive, and fought all the way to Dingzhou Wangdu.

For the third time, Xiao Chuo led an army of 20 to go south, drove straight into the Song Dynasty for [-] miles, and approached Chanzhou, an important town in the Northern Song Dynasty, threatening Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. A great victory in a military-political career.

Xiao Chuo was in charge of the government for 27 years, and he was all-powerful. Later generations commented: "The soft shoulders carry the country, and the skirts compete for the wind."

A cold-eyed woman galloped forward: "Yanyun Sixteen States is where I belong to Daliao. If you don't retreat, don't blame me for sending my troops south."

"I, Xiao Chuo, is in charge of the Daliao. I always remember the survivors of the former emperor. I reformed the administration of officials. If anyone disobeys, no matter whether they are nobles or commoners, they are all sinners of Daliao."

"Daliao's achievements in opening up the frontiers and lands began today."

"Aijia's life is naturally for Daliao. Whether it is slander or abuse by the world, it is nothing to me."

"Is it true that only men can stand at the pinnacle of power in this world? I, Daliao, want to show the world, so what if it is a strong Song Dynasty?"

Listening to the woman's confident words, Tang Taizong couldn't help but nodded: "Just from the words, it can be seen that this woman is indeed magnificent and powerful. I was born in the Tang Dynasty, and I have countless ministers and generals under my command. I am afraid that only Yuchi Jingde can compare with it."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled: "You can see how elegant the world is in future generations. A woman like this dares to lead troops in person and conquer the Song Dynasty three times. She has a strong mind, a good strategy, and excellent skills in controlling people."

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di also nodded secretly: "The land of China has always had no shortage of capable ministers and generals, but in terms of women's demeanor, the only ones who can match her in history are the Queen Mother of Qin, Queen Lu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu Zetian."

And Liu E of the Northern Song Dynasty frowned slightly when he saw this video: "The Chanyuan Alliance has always been a disgrace to our Song Dynasty. A famous heroine in Chinese history."

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin, who was watching the video, was angry: "Being beaten to the door by an army led by a woman is simply a great shame and humiliation to the Great Song Dynasty. Is this how future generations govern our Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Kuangyi blushed.

He recalled the scene when he led an army to the Liao Kingdom many years ago. In order to promote the might of the Song Dynasty and to show his achievements, without a detailed deployment plan, Zhao Kuangyi started the first and only Northern Expedition.

"In the land of China, since the first emperor, the strong Han, the Three Kingdoms, the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, there has been a tradition of royal conquests to the north."

"Now that I, the Great Song Dynasty, is newly established, I should go all out and seize all the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, so as not to lose my name as the Great Song Dynasty."

"My horsewhip points to the territory of my Great Song Dynasty."

However, Zhao Kuangyi did not expect that his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses would be forced to the point of throwing away their helmets and armor by the tens of thousands of Liao cavalry.

When he returned from the northern grasslands, when he heard the ministers report the results of the Northern Expedition, he couldn't help but get angry.

It was the shame of his life.

Especially a personal letter from Xiao Chuo sent by Xiao Chuo's emissary before the battle, pointing out that he usurped the throne and power and murdered his elder brother.

"In the end of the Song Dynasty, regardless of the strength of the country, the Song Dynasty would donate peace and old coins to the Liao Kingdom, and after the Liao Kingdom obtained these properties, they used them to develop their own economy, imperial examinations, and reforms."

"And the Liao Kingdom's three southern expeditions were actually to knock a bamboo pole hard on the body of Song Dynasty."

"While developing his country's economy, Xiao Chuo took the initiative to connect with Song Dynasty. After Song and Liao became brothers, envoys from Liao Kingdom were sent to Song Dynasty continuously. In order to be able to It's better to learn the strengths of Da Song."

"And the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty and the good self-perception gave the envoys of the Liao Kingdom many opportunities. In such an environment, the Liao Kingdom received many prosperous economic policies from the Great Song Dynasty."

"It can be said that it is the cowardice of the Song Dynasty that has supported everything in the Liao Kingdom."

"Without Song's generous contribution, Liao's reforms, military, culture, technology, and economy would not have undergone rapid changes."

"Of course, we cannot deny that Xiao Chuo played a key role in it."

"Without her drastic reforms, the Liao Kingdom would not have entered its heyday."

"History is sometimes like this. One or two key figures will appear at the appropriate historical time and change the course of history."

"Compared with Song Taizong at the same time, Xiao Chuo possesses greater charisma and courage. If she is given a little longer, I am afraid that the entire course of Chinese history will be rewritten."

"I think that the historical status of Queen Mother Xiao of the Liao Kingdom can surpass that of Queen Mother Xuan of the Great Qin Dynasty, and is equal to Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Such a figure should not be buried in history."

The more Zhao Kuangyi heard it, the more angry he became: "Could it be that my Great Song Dynasty is so unbearable?"

"I am rich all over the world, and the peace talks with the Liao Kingdom are only for the consideration of thousands of people in my Song Dynasty."

"I am the founding monarch of the country. Could it be that my descendants are not as good as the next generation?"
