The villain of Xianwu world

Chapter 512 Arriving in Bianliang for the first time, teaching head Zhou Tong (plus more)

When it comes to the most prosperous ancient capital in ancient China, either Chang'an or Beijing, Jinling and Luoyang are also full of flowers, but in fact the most prosperous capital is Bianliang.But as the capital, Bianliang's geographical conditions are not ideal.It has no danger to rely on, unlike Chang'an, which has the Yellow River and Qinling Mountains as natural barriers, and it is not even as good as Luoyang, with Hangu in the west and Hulao in the east.

Kaifeng is also known as Daliang, Bianliang, Dongdu, Tokyo, and Bianjing. During the Warring States Period, Wei State was also known as Liang State. During the Five Dynasties, seven dynasties including Houliang, Houjin, Houhan, Houzhou, Northern Song and Jin successively established the country. It is all in Kaifeng, so it is called "the old capital of the Seven Dynasties".

Relying on the conditions of vertical and horizontal rivers and lakes, mild climate, and convenient transportation, Kaifeng is prosperous, its city walls are grand, and its culture is splendid. The ancients once had a poem "Qi Shumingxia and Wufeng Tower, Yimen since ancient times".

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, as the capital of Tokyo, was the political, economic, military, technological and cultural center of China, and was also the most prosperous metropolis in the world at that time.Its grand city walls are divided into outer city, inner city, imperial city, triple city walls, and three moats.The traffic in the city is compatible with water and land, and the Bian River is unimpeded.In terms of layout, the closed fangli system has been broken, replaced by open commercial and residential streets, the integration of fangs and cities has been implemented, and the citizen class has been expanded to make the population reach one million.

Zhao Kuangyin realized the danger of having no evidence to defend, and had the idea of ​​moving the capital more than once. He wanted to move to Luoyang first, and then to Chang'an.But Zhao Guangyi disagreed, and retorted: "An Tianxia is in virtue but not in danger. Qin ruled in Guanzhong, tyranny abused the people, and died without a second generation." This sentence made Zhao Kuangyin at a loss for words on the spot. Solid goodness, but within a hundred years, the power of the people of the world will be exhausted!"

As a result, the proposal to move the capital was shelved.Later, in order to defend the capital, the Song Dynasty had to focus on building a forbidden army with strong combat effectiveness, which was concentrated in the capital and key areas. The huge military expenditure brought an unbearable burden to the people.

On this day, Gu Xiao walked along the Bian River and entered the city at the Tongjin Gate of the new city.

After paying the city gate tax, Gu Xiao officially entered Bianliang City.Looking at the boundless bustling streets on both sides, there are countless shops full of customers and shops.There are 72 main stores in Kaifeng, and there are flying bridge sills, with light and dark interlinked, bead curtains embroidered on the forehead, lights and candles shining, and hundreds of little girls are sitting in the main corridor, waiting for the drinkers to greet them.At night, Kaifeng is not the same as the one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an in Tang Dynasty, but it is open day and night.Zaju, a cappella, puppets, storytelling, acrobatics, shadow puppetry, sumo wrestling, gossip, and various art forms in the city began to sprout in the streets and alleys and in various teahouses.

What a bustling scene, but who would have known that just a few decades later, the bustling city of Bianliang would be completely destroyed by the barbarians!Looking at everything in front of him, Gu Xiao sighed in his heart.

To be honest, in his opinion, the shame of Jingkang is not much worse than that of Wuhuluanhua.

Who could have imagined that after the Jin Bing came to the city, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, the precious emperors, absurd father and son, were not thinking about how to defeat the Jin Bing outside the city, but how to find ways to make peace with the Jin Bing.In fact, this is also a deformed psychology that the Zhao Song Dynasty has developed since Zhao Kuangyin.

In the eyes of this group of idiots, generals who can fight will always be more disgusting to them than foreign bandits.Many people say that the victory rate of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in battles was higher than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but during the Han and Tang Dynasties, which emperor dared to send the so-called "year coins" to the foreign invaders at every turn?
What's more, during the Han and Tang Dynasties, Han people have always lived with dignity.Where is it like the Song Dynasty, who cede land to foreign bandits and pay compensation at every turn?That kind of victory is simply an insult!
In fact, Gu Xiao has always believed that the Zhao Song Dynasty is the most poisonous dynasty in the Central Plains, even surpassing "My Great Qing Dynasty".You must know that before the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty had always paid equal attention to both civil and martial arts, and even emphasized martial arts rather than literature.

Therefore, during that period, there had never been any incidents of Lu Chen in the land of Shenzhou.Even though there are five random Chinese, the Han people still firmly guard the half of the country in the south.

However, it is precisely because the Zhao Kuangyin brothers adopted the so-called strategy of using literature to control martial arts in order to keep the country that their two brothers stole, the generals who were suppressed had no room at all.Many generals are not afraid of losing battles, only of winning battles.

Because if you lose the battle, you can still spend money to save your life, but if you win the battle, let the bunch of nonsense civil servants in the court pay for the credit, and you will probably go to jail!
At the end of the two Song Dynasties, the Zhao and Song Dynasties have never lacked generals who can fight. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were famous Hujiajiang, Yangjiajiang, Di Qing, who cultivated the way of teachers, and cultivated teachers; in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were Yuejiajun, Han Shizhong, Meng Gong, Lu Wende Wait, each of these people is a famous general.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the policy of using literature to control martial arts that these people are unable to display their abilities, and finally end up in a precarious death!
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was also because of the policy of using literature to control martial arts that the Ming Dynasty finally perished in the hands of Jurchen!

From Gu Xiao's point of view, in all of this, the land of Shenzhou sank twice. In the final analysis, the biggest sinners are Zhao Song Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin brothers.Not to mention, he is no longer interested in playing around in the officialdom. In fact, if it wasn't because he was tired of being the emperor, he wouldn't mind rebelling and becoming the emperor!
Thoughts were turning and turning, although Gu Xiao despised Lian Lian towards the Zhao Song Dynasty in his heart, he remained calm on the face.

He followed the flow of people and headed towards the most prosperous place ahead.

It's early spring now, since Gu Xiao promised Li Canghai that day to help her find Jintai and compete with Jintai's apprentices, and stayed in the valley for another month, he set off for the south.

The four seasons in the valley are like spring. Due to the unique terrain, it is very mild all year round, and there is not much weather change.After Gu Xiao left the valley, he realized that it was already Chinese New Year.He went all the way south, and while walking, he also searched for the whereabouts of Jintai on the rivers and lakes.

It's just that, in Jianghu, he can be regarded as visiting many elderly martial arts figures, but no one knows the whereabouts of Jin Tai, not even many people who have heard of this name.

Therefore, after being unable to find the whereabouts of Jintai in the rivers and lakes, Gu Xiao put all his hopes in Bianliang City.Because if he remembers correctly, Jintai's apprentice, the famous Zhou Tong and Zhou Ruhai once stayed in Bianliang City for a long time, maybe through him he can find out the whereabouts of Jintai.

After wandering around Bianliang City for a while, Gu Xiao felt a little hungry, so he turned around and walked into a restaurant that was considered prosperous.

"Xiaoer, here's a catty of white rice and five or six side dishes." After Gu Xiao entered the door, he found a table and sat down, and greeted him loudly.

"Yes, guest officer, just wait a moment." A clever shop waiter agreed, and then started to talk.

At this time, it was time for dinner, after Gu Xiao entered the door, he saw that the restaurant was full of bustling guests, and there were also a few people with knives and swords, talking very vulgarly about some things in the world .Obviously, they can all be regarded as people in the rivers and lakes.

Places like restaurants and inns have always been well-informed places.

Gu Xiao didn't have to wait long, and the shop waiter brought out his food.

"Xiao Er, wait a minute, I'll ask you something." Gu Xiao threw a piece of silver to Xiao Er, and said.

Xiaoer took the broken silver and immediately said enthusiastically: "Guest officer, if you have anything to ask, you may as well ask, the villain will definitely tell you everything I know."

Gu Xiao asked while picking up the rice: "Xiao Er, let me ask you, have you ever heard of a man named Zhou Tong?"

When Xiao Er heard Zhou Tong's name, he immediately said enthusiastically, "Zhou Tong, coach Zhou, of course I've heard of this villain. He is the chief coach of the 80 Imperial Guards in the Song Dynasty. It is said that even the emperor has heard of his reputation."

Gu Xiao was overjoyed and asked, "Do you know where he lives?"

Xiaoer said: "This villain also knows, he lives in..."

"Okay, you go down!" After Gu Xiao knew the news he was interested in, he let Xiao Er go down.

Yue Fei's adoptive father and master, and the tutor of Lu Junyi, the number one martial artist in Liangshan, I really want to see your skills!A ray of light flashed in Gu Xiao's eyes, and the Qing Ming Sword he had placed on the table had already started to buzz, as if it couldn't wait any longer!
