Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

"And the dynasty of Yelu Longxu, Emperor Shengzong of Liao Dynasty, was almost the most sinicized. The subsequent dynasties are just following in his footsteps and moving forward."

"After Yelu Longxu first came to the throne, he was only responsible for studying and learned how to deal with the government from his mother."

"The Empress Dowager Xiao is an extremely intelligent woman. She admires the culture of the Central Plains, imitating the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and enacted the laws of the Daliao Kingdom."

"According to the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Central Plains, the methods of these Han people were implemented in the areas where the Han people lived in the south of the Daliao Kingdom."

"The Liao Kingdom implements the north-south official system."

"Northern officials use the original Khitan system to manage the original Khitan and other tribes."

"As for the southern officials, there are both Khitans and a large number of Han people. They use the original method of the Central Plains to manage these Han people, and it is very effective."

"The two-faced government system in the north and the south was not invented by Yelu Longxu, but it was improved and perfected even more during his period."

"At the same time, his dynasty made great efforts to improve the backward system of the original Khitan people, such as freeing slaves. In the past, when the Daliao Kingdom went to war, they turned the looted Han people into slaves of various nobles."

"The Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu changed this approach, releasing these captives and turning them into civilians, allowing them to farm or do business."

"This is a big step forward, breaking the old system of slavery.".

"In this way, Daliao began to move towards a feudal society."

"The feudal system is much more advanced than the slave system. People have a certain right to freedom and are not allowed to be killed arbitrarily."

"Their status has improved, and any of their labor, except for paying taxes to the state, can keep part of it, and their enthusiasm for production has naturally increased."

"And the country has also received tax revenues and strengthened its national power."

"As Shengzong of Liao reigned for longer, the entire Liao Kingdom moved more and more towards the feudal system, and the influence of the old slave system and tribal system has been greatly weakened."

"But the whole country has greatly increased its strength."

"Although in law, Khitans and Hans fight each other, which is the same crime. In practice, Khitans are still superior to others, and many Khitans who are officials even use various means to favor their compatriots."

"But we have to admit that this situation is not as blatant as before. The Khitans don't have to suffer any ~ punishment for killing Han people."

"The status of the Han Chinese is clearly - many times higher."

"The Liao Shengzong and the Empress Dowager Xiao are actively cracking down on all kinds of Khitan nobles and Khitan officials breaking the law and discipline. Even the Khitan royal family, once they commit a crime, they will never be forgiven."

"There are even some Khitan nobles who were sentenced to death."

"Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu gradually grew up and learned more about the culture and etiquette of the Han people in the Central Plains. He even became more radical than his mother."

"At the suggestion of his mother, after discussing with Han ministers, he imitated the civil service imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty and began to conduct imperial examinations to select officials."

"This is more advanced than officials recommending talents. Officials recommend, and some bribery will inevitably occur. The recommended officials may not have real knowledge."

"Talents admitted according to the imperial examination are more objective and fair."

"Because Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao vigorously advocated Central Plains Confucianism and Han culture, the entire Liao Kingdom has set off an upsurge of reading and learning everywhere."

"Not only the Han people, but even many high-ranking Khitan officials will imitate the poems of the Central Plains and recite poems to match."

"Greatly promoted the development of Daliao culture."

"Shengzong Liao and Empress Dowager Xiao also imitated the dynasties of the Central Plains, building granaries in various places in advance, and buying the people's grain in a big way, so as to prepare for the disaster year so that they will not be at a loss."

"The Khitan and other aliens still live a nomadic life, but this form is very unstable."

"One heavy snowfall in winter can freeze countless cattle and sheep to death."

"During the period of Emperor Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, there were more than a dozen severe snow disasters, and millions of cattle, sheep and horses were frozen to death at one time, and some herdsmen even froze to death."

"In the former Liao Kingdom, even if the country did not perish, it would seriously damage its vitality."

"And at this time, the food prepared in advance is used in the pie field."

"Countless victims have been rescued."

"Because of this situation, whether it is Khitan nobles or ordinary Khitan people, their hostility towards the Han people is becoming less and less hostile."

"The gap between the two ethnic groups is getting smaller and smaller."

"During the reign of Emperor Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, droughts, floods, and locust plagues were endless in history books, and natural disasters were frequent."

"But the Daliao Kingdom did not damage the fundamentals at all. The grain stored earlier played a huge role at this time."

"The common people are no longer displaced, but all the people in the world support Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao even more."

"If the descendants of later generations were born in the Daliao Kingdom at this time, they will find that everything here is almost the same as the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains except that the ruler is a Khitan."

"There has always been a saying in the past that none of the foreign regimes can last more than a hundred years."

"Because they are ignorant, backward, and don't know how to govern a huge country."

"The Great Liao Kingdom lasted more than 200 years. All of this is the result of vigorous Sinicization during the Liao Shengzong period."

"Shengzong Liao and Empress Dowager Xiao pushed the national power to its peak, and at this time, they set their sights on the Song Dynasty in the south."

"Tonghe four years, Northern Song Yongxi three years, Liao Shengzong was only fifteen or sixteen years old, this is the second relatively large battle between Song and Liao."

"At that time, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi was in power. He led an army of 20 in order to retake the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures dedicated to Khitan by the son emperor Shi Jingpei."

"I want to take advantage of the little Khitan emperor ascending the throne, and the people's hearts are not stable, and take back the Sixteen Youyun Prefecture in one fell swoop."

"At this time, it was Han Derang who was guarding Youyun Sixteen States. At that time, he had only 1 horses."

"Close the city gate, and you can't defend it."

"The army of the Song Dynasty was besieged for more than a month and could not conquer it."

........for flowers.........

"At this time, Brother Yeluxiu, a well-known general throughout history, led an army of [-] to support from Shangjing.

"Brother Yeluxiu first dispatched five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, pretending to be the main force, to attack the Song army."

"These 5000 people were quickly wiped out by the Song army."

"When the Song army saw this Khitan soldier, it was nothing more than that, and they were overwhelmed with complacency."

"Brother Yeluxiu took the opportunity to send 20 Khitan cavalry to charge towards the [-] army."

"The 20 army was blown to pieces in an instant."

"The Khitan iron cavalry took advantage of the situation and killed them. The Song army fled in all directions and was defeated for thousands of miles."

"Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi got hit by an arrow, left the army alone, and ran for his own life."

"Because I couldn't find a horse, I had to take a grain cart and flee like crazy."

"Because this battle was fought near the Gaoliang River, Song Taizong has since gained an elegant name

When Zhou Yi said this, he paused.

Countless emperors after the Song Dynasty knew this period of history well.

Can't help but burst out laughing.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was cold and extremely ugly.

'Sorghum River God of War'!

Song Zhenzong and other descendants felt even more ashamed.

This is simply a great shame and humiliation since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

But there was nothing he could do about it, any sophistry seemed too feeble.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly.

"2 people attacked 20 people, and they still fought like nothing. This is an unprecedented battle where fewer people win more."

"Since joining the army, the widow has fought north and south, and has almost never fought such a one-to-ten battle."

Ming Chengzu said: "According to the information I found, the Song Dynasty army also had [-] to [-] cavalry at that time, but they could not raise any fighting spirit under the attack of those Khitan cavalry like wolves and tigers."

"They all turned around and ran for their lives."

Zhou Yi continued: "In this battle, the Great Song Dynasty lost the veteran Yang Jiye. Later generations cherished the memory of this old hero and compiled his descendants into the story of the general of the Yang family, which will be passed down from generation to generation."

"Many women go out to fight for the country, which naturally makes people have high morale."

"However, if a country is so weak that it can only rely on women to lead the army, there is no need for this country to exist.

"The story of Yang Jiajiang and Mu Guiying is very beautiful, but it is just the wishful thinking of ordinary people." Yi.

"Except for Yang Jiye, less than 20 of the [-] troops returned to the Northern Song Dynasty."

"As for the discarded weapons, armor, and food, they are countless."

"There are many reasons for the failure in this battle."

"At the beginning, the Song army hadn't fought for a long time, and all the soldiers had enjoyed peace for a long time, and they were tired of war."

"Song Taizong ignored the actual situation, disregarded the opposition of the generals, and ran for thousands of miles. He was extremely exhausted, and failure was no longer a problem.

"In addition, all military orders are issued by Song Taizong. Everyone can't act independently and attack according to the actual situation."

"This will greatly limit the combat effectiveness of the army."

"However, the many generals couldn't coordinate in a unified way. For their own interests, they all conserved the strength of their respective armies, and no one was willing to help the "[-]" friendly forces.

"Of course, this is not to belittle the Khitan army, which is not strong in combat."

"On the contrary, being able to seize the favorable opportunity on the battlefield and defeat the enemy, no matter which army it is, is worthy of praise."

"This war left a huge nightmare for the future Song Dynasty."

"Liaophobia!"

"In the future, no matter whether it is the emperor, civil and military officials, or ordinary people, when they mention the Khitan soldiers, they will tremble with fright, thinking that the Khitan people are invincible."

"Since then, the Song Dynasty has completely cut off its dream of taking back the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and will not fight if it can."

"The Khitan people are too scary."

"The whole country is filled with this feeling of terror."

"This is the handwriting of Empress Dowager Xiao. At this time, Liao Shengzong is still young. Although he feels honored, it has nothing to do with him."

"Ten years later, he finally grew up."

"He started again, and personally competed with the Northern Song Dynasty."

"In the 17th year of Tonghe, Liao Shengzong attacked the Northern Song Dynasty for the first time, and the Daliao Kingdom won a small victory, so they returned to the dynasty."

"The second time, five years later, on the eighth day of September in the 22nd year of Tonghe, Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao led an army of 20 to attack Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Starting from September [-]th, the Song and Liao armies clashed."

"The Song army was defeated all the way, and no Song army won."

"This time, Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao went deep alone, leading only one army, and quickly attacked the hinterland of Song State."

"The army is hundreds of miles away."

"And all the cities along the way are not occupied."

"Go directly to Bianliang, Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"This is a dangerous move for soldiers. It's too risky, but it has an unexpected effect. Once it succeeds, it will shake the world."

"It wasn't until September 22 that Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao arrived at Yanyuan and were stopped by the Song army."

"And the general Xiao Talin was shot to death by the ambushed bow and crossbow, which made Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao feel a little afraid, and they didn't act rashly anymore."

"The Khitan soldiers in the back are attacking the city and plundering land, and they will come later, and they will join up again in a short time."

"As for the Song Dynasty, it was only at this time that they reacted a little bit."

"People from all walks of life are slowly gathering towards Tokyo."

"Actually, as early as September, the Khitan army had gathered at the border, and they might go south at any time."

"The scouts of the Song Dynasty have also discovered the abnormality, but their intelligence is not as fast as the Khitan cavalry."

"The Khitan vanguard cavalry has arrived in Yanyuan, but the information is three days later."
