4109 Arrive at Kaifeng Mansion

"Where are my benefactors going?" Ning Xueren asked doubtfully, "Is it to be promoted to middle school? I've heard of it before, but it seems it's not time yet, right?"

"No." Li He shook his head: "It's not that."

He had no intention of saying more.

Ning Xueren has lived a long life and is no longer a stupid young man who likes to be curious about everything. Seeing that Li He didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions. He simply nodded and said: "If you can be of any use to me, please feel free to do so."

call."

Li He nodded silently.

Ye An, who was walking in front to clear the way, heard the conversation between the two people behind him and asked Lin Kai next to him with confusion: "What's going on?"

Lin Kai was unusually silent. He didn't speak for a long time. He reached for a cigarette but came up empty. He shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Inside the venue of the martial arts conference.

Seeing Li He and others leaving, the former martial arts leader jumped up to the high platform and said: "I don't want to say anything about the strange power and chaos. The current martial arts leader's cultivator sect, in the name of cultivating immortals, vigorously promotes evil methods and makes us work hard for decades."

The tradition of practicing martial arts has been reduced to nothing. Today's scene is witnessed by everyone. In the future, if the Xiuxian Sect can really go into battle to kill the enemy, that's it. If they just say it but don't do it, I swear as the last leader of the martial arts alliance, I will definitely hold them accountable for causing trouble.

The crime of practicing evil magic in martial arts!"

The scene was quiet.

"The alliance leader is mighty!" Some of the losers below saw that the atmosphere was tense and quickly took the lead to liven it up.

The former leader of the martial arts alliance reached down and said righteously: "Hey, I am no longer the alliance leader. Until the truth comes out, the leader of the martial arts alliance is still from their cultivating immortal sect."

The loser refused to listen and shouted stubbornly: "The leader of the alliance is mighty!"

The former alliance leader waved his hand majestically, but did not stop him.

In the Wudang seating area, several Wudang disciples who were sent to join in the number felt that their visit was like watching a large-scale shadow puppet show.

Thrilling and dizzying, the ups and downs are gripping.

My heartbeat stopped beating several times.

The young junior brother asked the leader of the team: "Brother, what should we do?"

Daozi was silent for a while with a solemn face, and said: "Go back to Wudang and report the situation to the leader and elders, and let them make a decision."

...

Throughout the history of the Song Dynasty, foreign wars were nothing more than the same cycle: fight, lose, negotiate peace, pay indemnities and cede territory.

What is even more amazing is that the few victories not only did not pick up the fig leaf of the Song Dynasty court, but also gave rise to another jaw-dropping operation - Sui Coin.

In other words, after finally winning the war, there is no need to pay compensation, and new year's money will be given instead.

kindness.

Take the Liao Kingdom as an example. It has been suppressing the Song Dynasty for a long time, and suddenly it was defeated by the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom proposed: Xiao Song is very good, let's form an alliance. As an ally, you have to give me how much money you want every year to show your sincerity.

.

The Song Dynasty happily agreed.

Take Xixia as an example. They had been suppressing the Song Dynasty for a long time, and suddenly they were defeated. Xixia proposed: Great Song Dynasty, I am willing to surrender to you, but as the master, you have to give me a certain amount of money every year as a reward.

The Song Dynasty happily agreed.

This is the Sui coin.

This is the Song Dynasty.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, whether they are the losing side or the winning side, it is always the "Great Song Dynasty" that is losing money, and it is always the "Great Song Dynasty" that is begging for peace.

Nowadays, the Jurchen tribe in the Liao Kingdom has risen, and under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, they established the Jin Kingdom to rebel against the Liao Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was very excited, thinking that one day it would finally be able to stand up, so it quickly formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom and attacked the Liao Dynasty together.

Then.

The Jin State suppressed the Liao State and fought hard.

The Liao Kingdom suppressed the Song Dynasty and fought hard.

The Song Dynasty in this era was like a weak younger brother who couldn't beat anyone, yet it boasted of a peaceful and prosperous age.

To sum up, the reasons are basically that they emptied the family's wealth with foreign money, and internally the emperor was cowardly and the civil servants were in power and intrigues. They emphasized culture and suppressed military force, so that the country had no good generals or the army had no good soldiers.

Such a weak situation was witnessed by the Jin Kingdom who also attacked Liao.

As a result, the Jin Kingdom, which had high morale after destroying the Liao Kingdom, found that the country in the south with its great rivers and mountains seemed to be a mere loser.

I thought that the Kingdom of Jin might be able to control the wind and rain in the future! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Without saying a word, he casually found an excuse to tear up the alliance and sent two armies from the east and west with 80,000 men each to attack the Song Dynasty south.

The then emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong, was so frightened that he passed the throne to the prince. He left Bianjing and fled to Yingtian Mansion (today's Shangqiu, Henan) to avoid the disaster.

The prince was in danger and "passed on to the throne". During the process of ascending the throne, he fainted from crying several times. After being revived by the imperial doctor, he continued to cry and fainted.

I wasn't crying out of excitement, I was crying out of fear of death.

Because just a few days after he succeeded to the throne, Bianjing, also known as Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was surrounded by Jin soldiers who went south.

This year, the reign name was "Jingkang".

The then emperor: Song Qinzong.

During the journey north, Li He learned in detail from Ning Xueren what was recorded in history.

According to historical records, in this year Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was besieged twice by Jin soldiers.

For the first time, after the defenders held the city, 200,000 troops from all over the country came to the rescue and surrounded the Jin soldiers. When they were almost victorious, they surrendered.

As mentioned before, the level of intrigue among the people in the palace was absolutely insane.

When the civil servants saw that this battle was about to be won? How could that be done? Such great achievements in resisting the enemy and saving the country should not allow military generals to soar into the sky?

No, no, we must quickly remonstrate with the officials and tell them how powerful the Jin soldiers are. We resisted so fiercely, and the consequences would be disastrous if they were provoked!

Song Qinzong was scared to death, and even his remaining courage was drained by this statement. On the outer city wall, Li Gang led his soldiers to resist the enemy with blood and beat back the waves of Jin soldiers' attacks, which made the Jin soldiers despair.

They wanted to retreat, but the imperial palace in the inner city sent envoys to the Jin camp to ask for peace from the Jin soldiers.

Being guarded by Li Gang, he lost his temper and was about to retreat. When he heard this, General Jin Bing almost burst out laughing. He quickly put on the attitude of a winner and offered to take land, money and people, both men and women.

The Song Dynasty all agreed.

The amount of money the enemy wanted was something that the lion opened his mouth to bargain with.

As a result, the Song Dynasty did not even respond to the enemy and all agreed.

Five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver were figures that were simply not something a Kaifeng person could come up with at that time.

But the Song Dynasty agreed with great magnanimity, just like a wealthy person buying a house at a sales office, not negotiating with you at all, just swiping your credit card.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the balance on the card was insufficient.

Therefore, the Jin Kingdom, which withdrew its troops due to peace talks but found that it could not get enough money and land, surrounded Kaifeng again a few months later in the same year.

But this time, the moral character of the Song Dynasty soldiers was destroyed by the civil servants. The city of Kaifeng was destroyed, the emperor was captured, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

After careful discussion and analysis with Ning Xueren, Li He confirmed that the trip he and others caught up with should be the first time the Jin soldiers surrounded Bianjing.

In fact, when the carriage driver didn't even ask for money and left them a few kilometers away from Bianjing, Li He's mental detection feedback of up to 5.49 kilometers was indeed like this.

Kaifeng Mansion, also known as Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty and "Bianliang" since the Yuan Dynasty, was under attack by enemy soldiers.

Ning Xueren and Li He calculated the approximate time from the driver's mouth.

The ninth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang (1126).
