Self Rescue of the Faint King

Chapter 66 Song Huizong 5

Under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the Jurchens not only opened the curtain of fighting against the exploitation of the Liao Kingdom, but also established the Jurchens' own country, which is really a major event for the Jurchens.

As the god of war, Wanyan Aguda is naturally not satisfied, and continues to seek revenge from the Liao people, deprive and seize more property, occupy a larger territory, and achieve a hegemony. This is what a hero does.

However, the war between Jin and Liao actually provoked the Southern Song Dynasty to join, and what happened to be so sad is that the Southern Song Dynasty would choose to help Liao fight against Jin. I really don't understand it, I don't understand it!

Logically speaking, the contradictions and conflicts of interests between the Liao and Song Dynasties are even stronger than those of Xixia. As for the Jin people, they haven't thought about confronting the Song Dynasty yet.

But now, Da Song actually chose to help Liao, which is really at a loss.But Jinren is not a fool, he naturally knows the benefits of having allies.

The Jin people also wanted to form an alliance with the Song people, but who knew that the Liao Kingdom would actually want to return the "Sixteen Youyun Prefectures" as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Southern Song Dynasty's continued support for Daliao.

At this moment, the Jinren had no choice but to return to Huining in secret. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Since Wanyan Aguda can establish a big gold, then political wisdom is naturally not lacking. This person immediately thought of it Another enemy of the Song Dynasty, Xixia is much more aggressive than Liao, and the relationship between Xixia and Song is even more rigid.

Wanyan Aguda immediately sent an envoy. You and I are interested in both sides. Naturally, they hit it off. The two countries have negotiated to carve up a land as large as Daliao. After the interests are guaranteed, the Xixia Dajin coalition forces and The Song and Liao coalition forces were completely on the bar.

Fortunately, this war only stayed in the territory of Daliao. Although the Song people knew that a war was coming, they were not in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, since Zhenzong's Tanyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty has not heard of war for 110 years. I don't know the cruelty of this war.

Of course, the imperial court was too cowardly and always sent money to seek peace. Although everyone complained about this kind of thing, and the border areas were very resentful, it was always a good thing not to fight.

Now the officials are taking the war lightly, and they don't know whether it is good or bad.

Both the government and the opposition were worried, and Yang Guang didn't expect that the Song people's mental quality was so poor.

Fortunately, there are many insightful people in the imperial court, and they also know that this is a rare good opportunity. Maybe they can change the weakness of Song Dynasty since the founding of the country, and straighten their backs to speak.

Who likes to grovel if they can be tough?All because of the lack of combat effectiveness of the army.

Well now, since the military reform, the military strength of the Song Dynasty has been greatly improved, and military supervisors (a special agency established during Wang Anshi's reform to develop weapons) have produced batches of weapons and protective gear.

The equipment of the Song army is definitely the best in the world.

As for the improved combat vehicles (rockets), new landmines (there were landmines in the Three Kingdoms period), although there were not many weapons of mass destruction, the appearance of these two things still boosted the confidence of the courtiers.

Excellent soldiers and good generals, this is Yang Guang's evaluation of this expedition, he just hopes not to let himself down.

Back at the court, Zhang Shangying, as the new prime minister, began to abolish the bad government. Many decrees from Zhezong and even Shenzong's period still survived.

Zhang Shangying started from a small point and corrected these one by one to satisfy Yang Guang, but the courtiers felt that Zhang Shangying was too conservative and did not match the image of the great strides of the Song Dynasty before, and the impeachment of Zhang Shangying seemed to have never been broken.

Fortunately, there is Yang Guang's trust as always. Of course, Zhang Shangying himself works smoothly, and others can easily catch him. As for other aspects, even personal attacks, Yang Guang usually takes an indifferent attitude.

The time is up, and everyone will naturally know that Mr. Zhang is in the heart of the emperor, and he is a safe person, so many people let go of their unreasonable criticism.

Zhang Shangying's ability to win the trust of officials is naturally due to his charm. After a long time, everyone fell in love with this kind of stable life.

Life is peaceful most of the time, why are there so many storms?

The peace in the hall was mainly due to the unrest on the battlefield. Everyone's attention was attracted by this expedition.

Zong Ze, Zhong Shidao, Li Gang and others all went to the front line. None of these three had led soldiers before, and no one knew what would happen in the end.

Emperor Tianzuo was very happy when the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to participate in the battle against the Xiaojin Kingdom. As for returning the "Youyun Sixteen States" or something, aren't we fighting a war?Naturally, it is necessary to wait until there is a victory.

This guy doesn't have much ability, but he has a lot of heart. He has always looked down upon Wanyan Aguda. The last time he was defeated, he believed that it was because of his own people's betrayal and conspiracy that this result was caused.

After I have cleaned up Yan Aguda, I will come to wipe out the traitors in the country.

Naturally, the Song people would not interfere with the internal struggles of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom naturally did not want outsiders to meddle in its internal affairs, did it?

Although war is always cruel, it still makes countless men excited, make great achievements, and immediately become a prince. The scene described by the coach stimulated countless people's eyes to shine.

I can't wait to fight immediately, so the literati with full mouth escape skills have been a sharp weapon since ancient times.

However, even if his side was victorious, the fighting power of the Liao people was greatly reduced. In addition, there were defections from time to time, and some people surrendered gold, which made people more and more panicked.

Emperor Tianzuo himself didn't have any great abilities, but he was so ambitious that he didn't know who he followed.

The serious distrust of the generals led to the suspicion of the monarchs and ministers. If this can win the battle, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty in the early years would have been invincible in the world.

These are not secrets at all, not to mention the generals of the Song Dynasty, even ordinary soldiers know about it, and they can hear all kinds of complaints about Emperor Tianzuo from Jinkou.

Heaven's anger and people's resentment, is this the legendary sky's anger and people's resentment?

The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were suddenly a little rejoiced that the Great Song Dynasty now has a shrewd and capable official family. Thinking about the literary and artistic youth who was born as King Duan, and now the wise and powerful official family, for some reason, they suddenly felt very lucky, so lucky. happiness.

During the war, the more such exchanges, the greater the sense of superiority of the people of the Song Dynasty, and many Liao people began to escape from the Daliao and go to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Especially the Han people in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. I heard that Song and Liao are negotiating, and soon this place will belong to the Song Dynasty. Although the people are a little Liaohua, many people still remember that they are Han people. Many people in Yanjing cry Shouting and kowtowing to the south.

After Yang Guang heard about this incident, he suddenly felt heavy in his heart. How could the common people be blamed?

He ordered the negotiating team headed by Zhang Shangying to speed up the progress. Of course, he had to pass the decree to the frontline soldiers and behave more bravely. Soon, we will be able to take back the ancestral foundation.

Zhang Shangying is the prime minister, and he is not in charge of the negotiation, but since the emperor has spoken, he naturally has to care about it.

In terms of verbal skills, the old gentlemen of the Imperial Academy are more agile. Of course, there are also the censors, they are all about verbal skills.

Most of those who can be censors are straightforward and sharp-tongued. Negotiations often come to a deadlock because of the silence of the Liao people.

The Liao people are naturally not fools. If the Sixteen States of Yanyun go back, what if the Song Dynasty withdraws its troops?

The news from the country is that the main force fighting against the Jin soldiers has now changed from the Liao army to the Song soldiers, so they can only continue to procrastinate.

But the slightest benefit of this star is still to be given.Therefore, Yanjing was the first city to take back.

This can be regarded as a great progress, a phased victory.

Yang Guang held a grand palace banquet, which not only praised the soldiers who worked hard on the front line, but also the negotiating team who played tricks. Sure enough, everyone was satisfied.

Basically everything that can be mixed in is mixed in. For a while, the official family is comparable to Yao and Shun. Although it is tiresome to listen to this every day, but literati play tricks, he can praise you into a flower, who would not Rare to listen to other people praise ah?

At least Yang Guang felt that he was quite vulgar. He was in a good mood when he heard these people praise him.

After the banquet, the negotiating team suddenly felt full of strength and pressed on the Liao people step by step. How could one Yanjing be enough?

Their appetites have become bigger. What kind of monarch there is, and what kind of courtiers there are naturally. Uh, the temperament of the emperor determines the attributes of the country.

Thinking about this kind of thing is quite helpless. If you meet a mediocre lord, you will naturally lose your country and family. If you have to meet a wise lord, you will naturally revitalize the country.

Fortunately, with the blessings of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, the official family is a sage, and the degree of black belly of the courtiers cannot be underestimated at all.

Yang Guang smiled happily when he heard the news delivered by the missions.

Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a lack of temperamental courtiers. The more enlightened the king, the stronger the tolerance. This is also the standard for evaluating whether a king is wise or not.

Yang Guang felt that he was fully responsible for the evaluation of enlightenment (shameless boasting).

After a period of negotiations, Zhuozhou, Yizhou, Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Jingzhou, and Jizhou returned to the embrace of the Song Dynasty.

Several provinces south of the Taihang Mountains have all returned to the Great Song Dynasty. Anyway, from now on, the Great Song Dynasty has a natural barrier, which is the most gratifying.

As for how to govern these places and how to deal with the Khitan people living here, these are all problems, but they are not problems.

Everyone has their own opinions on how to govern the seven provinces that have been taken back. Everyone quarreled into a pot of porridge, and everyone was excited. Although Yang Guang could understand it, this kind of thing cannot It's a matter that can be decided with a hot head, so it's better to send a mission to investigate on the spot.

Zhang Shangying is very relieved that the official is really mature and prudent. He is almost seventy years old, and he still wants to go to the north to inspect it himself. Yang Guang dare not let this old man work. It would be really unlucky if he died outside. very.

Therefore, it is enough to send a few young and strong people, and don't work too hard on the elderly. Zhang Shangying naturally knows that she may not have the energy. After expressing her loyalty, she will not say much and let the emperor decide. .

The wisdom of the old man, his life experience and so on, can always make him make the most correct decision. Yang Guang also admires him, and he can be regarded as a master if he can do this.

But generally there is still a resolution. If the Khitan people want to move out, they will naturally not stop them. If they want to stay, they will not be driven away. Everything is up to them.

The current Daliao is basically fighting everywhere, and being a Song person can still get shelter. Ordinary people, who would think of leaving a peaceful place to experience displacement?

So except for a small number of diehards, most people still stay here. They live and die together, this is home, how can they let go?

As for the others, ordinary people don't care about those, as long as they can live and have enough food, nothing is important.But this Great Liao Kingdom is really muddy and cannot support the wall. Now, the Liao people look more like they are here to hold back. The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who were forced to become the main force were proud but also a little unhappy. Youyun Sixteen Even if Zhouzhou returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty, it didn’t actually have much of a foundation. Besides, it belonged to us Han people, and now it’s back in the hands of the Han people, shouldn’t it?

Obviously, these people perfectly explained what it means to make progress. In order to appease Song Ting, the Liao Kingdom could only continue to cede land, cede land, and cede land.

In a sense, Yang Guang can be regarded as breaking new ground.He has never left Bianliang for a day in his life, and his life is undisciplined. Recently, Yang Guang handed over the government affairs in his hands to his son most of the time.

As for himself, he finally has time to study his hobbies, such as Cuju, calligraphy and painting, and so on.

The Royal Cuju Team of the Great Song Dynasty finally stepped onto the stage of history and began to shine, gaining a large number of diehard fans. Gao Qi successfully used Cuju to become the patriarch of professional football and left a name for future generations.

Although it was only Yang Guang's pastime, Cuju still caused a great follow-up phenomenon in the Song Dynasty, and Cuju teams from all over the country continued to emerge.

The malicious poaching activities of the Royal Cuju Team are annoying but also very proud. Emma, ​​if we are not careful, we have cultivated a national team member. It feels interesting to think about it.

After Yang Guang learned about the development of the Cuju industry, he asked people to form a Cuju League, and then started the operation of the league system.

The final champion, of course, has a gold medal, and the emperor will personally receive it, but so far, it has only been held for three years, and the winner every year is the Royal Cuju Team. , Others dare not offend, the situation of the dominant family makes people very helpless.

I won’t talk about envy and jealousy. Although I keep saying harsh words every year, next year I must beat the Royal Cuju team. Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. How can we lose in things like Cuju?

However, every time the team members are cultivated, they will still be easily poached by others. If you go to a higher place, you really can't blame others!

Gao Lian did a good job in this matter, he poached people without arousing the envy of others, he was indeed a capable person.

But in this life, his ability can only be used for this. Yang Guang naturally knows about the things he seeks benefits in private, but because he knows the bottom line, Yang Guang just opened his eyes. One eye is closed.

As for calligraphy and painting, Yang Guang set up an academy and a painting academy. This was not done on purpose, but these two places were his favorite places to go.

Everyone also knows that the official family was a literary youth with excellent calligraphy and painting skills before he ascended the throne. His behavior naturally greatly stimulated the development of calligraphy and painting.

Ordinary people eat enough and wear warm clothes, so they are naturally pursuing spiritual satisfaction, and more and more people have entered these industries that have been denounced as small ways.

Great cultural prosperity and economic prosperity are naturally backed by strong national strength and strong military support. Yang Guang feels that he has done a good job.

After everything is on the right track, Zhao Heng has been the prince for so many years, let him try it.

Yang Guang, who had to abdicate every time, was no exception this time. With his Cuju team, calligraphy and painting department, he left the capital and went wandering around the country.

Zhao Heng became the new emperor, he was both terrified and excited. His father was strong and strong, and he thought he was going to survive for decades. Who knew that his father would let go so freely What?

This trust and love made Zhao Heng cry bitterly. Yang Guang looked at his soaked sleeves, pushed him away in disgust, and left the capital without looking back...
