Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"This small Southern Song Dynasty..."

Li Shimin turned the cup in his hand and pondered the words:

"It's quite exquisite."

This is not a good word, but Empress Changsun can vaguely feel Erlang's thoughts.

After all, seriously speaking, the Song Dynasty was originally a successor to the Tang Dynasty, and the land it governed was Han territory. Its people were all Han children and Tang people for ten generations. Who wants to just watch its jokes?

It's just that the Song Dynasty is really helpless. The Northern Song Dynasty is like this, and the Southern Song Dynasty is even worse.

If you look into it carefully, there are often good generals and more famous ministers. Although it only occupies half of the Tang Dynasty's territory, the number of households is much more than that of the Tang Dynasty. And from what Erlang said before, the craftsmanship of the people's livelihood and military equipment in the Song Dynasty is not bad.

But it's just that they are all useless.

In addition, the later generations just made fun of Erlang, so it is no wonder that Erlang is in a bad mood at this time.

There is no need to say much in Ganlu Palace, so Empress Changsun can only lean towards Erlang:

"It is no wonder that the Southern Song Dynasty is ridiculed by the later generations for only knowing how to be content."

"If it is as the Song minister said, the people in the north will rise up and destroy the Jin Dynasty, then should the world still respect the Song Dynasty?"

Li Shimin's face showed a thoughtful look, and even his interest was clearly written on his face:

"If someone really rises up like this, after destroying the Jin Dynasty, he will attack the disobedient people in the south and unify the world."

Erlang is an impatient person, and Empress Changsun knows it.

So when she heard him say this, she knew that her husband's thoughts were active again, and most of them regretted that he could not make a breakthrough in the chaotic Southern Song Dynasty to create a career.

"The rulers of Song and Jin are disgusting to me."

"It would be great if they could both be tied up at the Circular Mound."

Sure enough...Empress Changsun smiled, pulled Erlang's hand over and gently squeezed it, saying:

"Since this is the case, Your Majesty must not let your descendants repeat the same mistake, and leave behind the Zhenguan Reign for future generations."

Li Shimin was quite disapproving when he heard this:

"The Southern Song Dynasty could learn from the Qin and Han Dynasties and emulate the Tang Dynasty. At worst, there was the Northern Song Dynasty, the predecessor, to learn from."

"The result is that the one who wanted to compare his achievements with those of the Qin Emperor and Han Wudi became Emperor Yang."

"The beasts who rebelled against the people and lived in seclusion could take it easy."

"Hey, this future..."

Li Shimin seemed to want to comment, but in the end he just shook his head and remained silent.

"The ruler of Song was not so easy either...didn't he become a eunuch."

The voice was very recognizable, and Li Shimin didn't need to look up to know that it was Yuchi Jingde. Probably only Yuchi Jingde in the palace could claim to be a close minister and speak like this.

Fang and Du were both mature and prudent people, quick to act but slow to speak; perhaps because the uncle knew the tragic ending last year, he now tends to protect himself.

Shubao has always been steady. Although he is a military official, he is the most obedient to the etiquette of civil officials; the Yan brothers are very busy and will not say anything easily.

The only one who can talk to Yuchi Jingde in the hall at this time is...

"What about eunuchs?"

Wei Zheng's tone was full of disapproval:

"Can Zhao Gou, who has become a eunuch, revive the benevolent ministers or prevent the country from being lost or what?"

Of course not, and Yuchi Jingde will probably be speechless, after all, this beloved general has never been good at speaking.

But...

It is really easier to conquer the world.

I really want to try to lead the black armor in person, destroy the Jin and conquer the Song, and compete with the elite cavalry of the Mongols.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who has not been on the battlefield for a long time, galloped on his horse out of boredom in his heart.

【1162 was a critical year. The Jin army of one million was defeated and the Southern Song Dynasty came to the crossroads of its own destiny.

Xin Qiji's fifty elite cavalrymen broke through the enemy's formation, but it was still difficult to save the Shandong righteous army from being completely corrupted.

Zhao Gou saw that his plan to be a licker for the Jin Kingdom was unsustainable, so he simply withdrew and proposed Zhao Shen to be the emperor to balance the demands of the pro-war faction.

In other words, Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen, the direct seventh-generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, had a strong pro-war color since he came to power.

However, the pro-war faction of the Southern Song Dynasty had been suppressed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui for 20 years. Yue Wumu died suddenly, Han Shizhong retired, Wu Lin and Liu Qi were both old, and Zhang Jun was repeatedly demoted. The power of the pro-war and pro-peace parties had long been seriously unequal.

That is why Shi Hao and Zhang Jun's debate in front of Song Xiaozong actually involved a lot.

Shi Hao, the right prime minister, was so angry that Zhang Jun was speechless. The general who advocated war simply passed Shi Hao and handed a memorial to Song Xiaozong:

It would be a waste of time to talk to the right prime minister any more. Maybe the opportunity for war would be missed. You make up your mind.

Song Xiaozong might have been persuaded, or Chen Kangbo, the left prime minister who advocated war at the time, was stubborn. In short, Shao Hongyuan, another pro-war general, did get the order to send troops, and he did it by bypassing three provinces.

Right prime minister Shi Hao was very sad: since the order to send troops did not require the consent of the right government, what else could I be a prime minister? "Why not go?"

Then he muttered to the left prime minister Chen Kangbo:

"Kangbo wants to accept the converted people, I am afraid that he will worry about your majesty's descendants in the future. Junrui is determined to use the army, if he fails, I am afraid that your majesty will never be able to look to the Central Plains again."

In the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Hao can indeed be regarded as a prime minister who did a good job, but this statement still makes it clear that in the eyes of the peace faction, the righteous army in the north is not considered a person at all.

Later, the Longxing Northern Expedition failed miserably, and this suggestion was praised as "a mature view of statecraft", which brought Shi Hao a lot of fame.

But no one cared about the opinions of "reformed people" whom Shi Hao summed up in one word.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Yan rebelled against the Jin Dynasty. His subordinates were all tattooed with the Chinese character "Serve the country wholeheartedly and swear to kill the gold thieves", so they were named the Eight-Character Army. They made outstanding achievements in the fight against the Jin Dynasty in Henan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.

During Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, the rebels in the Taihang Mountains all responded to Yue Wumu's call and actually stopped the order south of Yanjing.

If these are all old things, then at the moment when Shi Hao said these words, nearly half of the 160,000 defense troops on the Lianghuai Defense Line of the Southern Song Dynasty were so-called "reformed people."

Wan Yanliang went south, and the rebels in Hebei and Henan swarmed up. The coastal line of Haizhou and Chuzhou could be recovered only because of the deadly battle between the two rebel leaders Wei Sheng and Li Bao, and the support of the rebels led by Wang Youzhi who came from the Henan area.

Since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the northerners from Nantou have been pouring their blood for the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty for more than thirty years. In the end, they were replaced by the Prime Minister of the dynasty who said, "I am afraid that in the future I will worry about your Majesty's descendants."

In fact, during the Shaoxing peace talks, the feelings of the northern rebels had already been hurt once because of the treaty of "Southerners return to the South and Northerners return to the North".

But twenty years passed in the middle, and the situation between the North and the South ushered in another opportunity for change.

The good news is that the northern rebels are still fighting one after another, throwing their lives and blood.

The bad news is that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty still played a stable role and did not regard the northern rebels as human beings.

This view is essentially to take the initiative to remove itself from the position of the Communist leader of China. It is completely a mentality of local separatist power.

Among the causes of the Southern Song Dynasty, problems such as the lack of horse breeding land, the rise of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the difficulties of the Northern Expedition, and the lack of equipment can all be overcome.

This kind of mental decline is the most hopeless.
