"Bitter! Of course Dangxiang people have a bitter life." After taking a few glasses of wine, he said: "Dangxiang people have lived in the barren land of the northwest for the world. Except for the high sky and thick soil, there is only reckless yellow sand. I In the Xia Kingdom, most of the land under the jurisdiction of the Eight Army Divisions is on the top of the mountain. Above the desert, Maowusu and Tengger are all barren. Apart from the yellow sand, Tiandu Mountain and Helan Mountain are pass. Naturally dangerous, but how about two shackles, which firmly locked my Daxia to explore the way out!"

Ren Dejingli has been rebelling against Song and entering Xia for more than ten years. Over the years, he has a high position in Xixia. National affairs are often determined by one word, so no matter how unwilling he is, he is thinking and judging. Above, it is always unavoidable to stand! This book is reprinted on Shilu!! Literary Net! I will examine the position of Xixia by reasoning, unknowingly, when mentioning Xixia, it is also outside of "My Great Song". , Plus a "My Great Summer", perhaps for him, this foreign country is already another hometown.

The northwestern frontier land occupied by the Dangxiang people is mostly on the plateau and the barbarity in the desert. Although the monarchs of Xixia since Li Yuanhao, there is no shortage of foresighted generations who are interested in water conservancy and persuading agriculture. Sang intends to follow the example of the Central Plains dynasty and build a civilization that is not inferior to the Chinese orthodox in this northwestern continent. However, it is ultimately due to various factors such as regional water and soil. Although it has achieved considerable results, it has After all, it is difficult to use the power of farming to feed so many people like the Central Plains Dynasty.

Just like all the barbarians who once lived in the jungle, the blood of the Dangxiang people is still flowing with the barbarity they used to. It is difficult to find a large piece of land suitable for farming and planting in the northwest plateau, but there is never a shortage. There is no shortage of large tracts of grass, there is no shortage of horses that can relax, and there is no shortage of beef tendons and big trees that can be used to make bows, arrows, knives and guns.

So what is missing, grab it!

In the minds of all the Bianman tribesmen, the Central Plains dynasty has always been the richest existence. There are endless grains, endless silk and silk, endless gold and silver wealth, and countless wealth. All the beautiful women, as early as in the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the party members relied on their bow and horse weapons to survive by looting all the way.

As early as after Zhao Kuangyin ascended to the throne and established the country, he was frightened by the power of the newly unified Chinese dynasty. The party members were also very honest for a while, but even in that time, they continued to propose to the Central Plains dynasty. Regarding the various requirements for the allocation of food and money, although there are inevitably some factors among the party aristocrats and the insatiable generation, the fundamental reason is that the water and soil between the mountains and deserts are not good at governance. For the farming party members, if there is no Austrian aid from the Central Plains dynasty, it would be very difficult to feed such a large group of people.

Zhao Kuangyin’s generation of heroes used both the powers of the party and the government, as well as to attract and divide things. If the policy of the Taizu emperor can be extended, I am afraid that the party government will be as it was before without the effort of several generations. The Tubo, which was in its prime for a time, fell apart and divided into countless different tribes, no matter what kind of threat it poses to the Song Dynasty, it is a pity that at this time, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin is here. The sound of the axe and the shadow of the candle died that night, but after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, out of his own considerations, he immediately dismantled his army, consolidated his army in the northern expedition, and eliminated the subsequent expeditions of the Northern Han Dynasty to the Liao State, which eventually attracted the arrogant Song Liguo. The first miserable defeat since.

As far as the impact of this big defeat was, Zhao Guangyi did not dare to mention the dream of regaining the Sixteen Continents of Youyun and restoring the old land of the Han family. It also broke the powerful appearance of the emerging Chinese dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country. As a result, the alien regimes, such as Dangxiang people, who were already determined to be attached to the Central Plains dynasty, rekindled their dream of establishing an independent nation.

And Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong, seemed to have been defeated by such a battle, and all his courage was lost. Since the defeat of the Liao Dynasty, throughout his life, he did not want to talk more about swordsmen and soldiers. During the twenty-two years of his reign, the courage of the Song Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty gradually faded away, so that the Liao people repeatedly raised the idea of raising soldiers to the south, and eventually led to the short-term behind him. A battle of Qi Yuan.

Not only that, even with regard to the management of the jail in the northwestern border, the Emperor Taizong did not pay too much attention to it. Soon after he became the throne, the then ambitious party leader Li Jiqian used a camel horse to change his weapon, and even When he did not hesitate to melt money as a weapon, he displayed a full-scale intention to reorganize the army and prepare for war, and to invade the Central Plains. The Song Dynasty still only followed the traditional division of party nobles and provoked the land of the northwestern continent. Uighurs, Tubo, Qiang people, etc. are also active in the western plateau! This book is reproduced in Shilu!! Literary Net! The contradiction between the ethnic minority regimes and the party members to check and balance, and has never taken advantage of its unsuccessful power. With the force of thunder and thunder, the army quickly wiped it out of the budding mind, but just sat and watched as it grew bigger and bigger, and did not even control it from the aspects of trade, taxation, etc., which finally led to this Northwest matter. To an out of control situation.

It’s just that although the Dangxiang people have gone through the efforts of several generations of former servants, they finally established the capital and found the country. The Daxia regime belonging to the Dangxiang people was established in the northwestern continent. However, the Xixia country belongs to regardless of its national strength, terrain, and scale. A very subtle existence sandwiched between the Liao and Song Dynasties. On the one hand, Xixia can be said to have risen among the great powers, dominating the northwest side of the hegemony. However, even Li Yuanhao, who founded the country and founded the foundation, knew it. The Daxia Kingdom that I created by myself is limited by the time and terrain, I am afraid that no matter how it is, it can only be a feudal clan, and it is absolutely impossible to truly dominate the world.

Therefore, compared with the emphasis on name etiquette between the Liao and Song Dynasties, Xixia pays more attention to things that are affordable. Since its founding, as long as the Liao and Song countries give a certain amount of money and money, Xixia will also The two great powers of the Liao and Song dynasties all regarded themselves as vassal states, and did not care about the so-called monarchy status. After all, the party regime, which was founded on the high heaven and thick soil of the northwest, lived very tightly since its founding.

But even so, the party members who depend on the sky for food still often encounter some unpredictable problems. Whenever disasters are frequent and the weather changes, these party members feel that they are not enough to save for winter food and warm clothes. At that time, they would ride the camel horse that was originally prepared to trade with the Han people on the border, dance with their swords and guns that they may have just exchanged from the Han people, and rush towards the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, the richest in their hearts. In their view, there is everything they need.

It is precisely because of this that when the Liao and Song dynasties established a peaceful situation for more than a hundred years after the Qiyuan alliance, Da Song gradually focused on the border continent in the northwest. For more than a hundred years, Most of the Song Dynasty's foreign campaigns were carried out with the Xixia party members.

Since Emperor Taizong, the Song Dynasty always paid attention to the use of literary and military affairs and guarding against military generals, which led to a sharp decline in the combat power of the Song Dynasty’s army. It can no longer be compared with Zhao Kuangyin’s first days of the founding of the country. However, the Song Dynasty is nothing compared to Xixia. From the geographical or economic perspective, it is a huge monster that is not known how many times larger, and it is supported by the most prosperous economic system in the history of China. Although it is extremely difficult, it has always been gradually achieved step by step. The strategic advantage between them is to adopt the method of building a city along the land, and constantly move the front to the front of the Xixia country. If it were not for the sudden rise of the Jurchen Jinren, it would have happened, and the Song Dynasty would be confused and the Song Dynasty would be almost forced. The middle way died on this, I'm afraid that soon, Xixia will really perish in the hands of Da Song.

"So the party members have a hard time," Ren Dejing murmured: "In the last few years before my Great Song Dynasty moved to the south, the internal affairs and economy of Xia were gradually trending along with the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty. As they deteriorated, they also knew very well in their hearts that what they were facing was actually a hopeless situation, but the worst thing was that no matter who among them was, they could not change, and they did not want to change. Willing to change!"

During the first few years of the Song Dynasty’s southward move, it happened that Ren Dejing was appointed as the judge of Xi’an Zhou to manage the Song Xia border fortress for the Song Dynasty. It was necessary to talk about the understanding of the current situation. I'm afraid that no one in the world can know better than him, but when he was, he was especially the guardian of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to open up the frontiers of the Song Dynasty and conquer the frontiers, and now he is remembering. At the beginning of this period, he has already become Xixia’s state minister, and his power status and even his wealth and life are closely connected with the Xixia Kingdom. This extremely different transformation of status makes Ren Dejing talking about this. In the past, I couldn't help feeling a little stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then went on.

In addition to the legendary creation ancestors among their tribes, the Dangxiang people were already active in this river and long land at the time of the Han Dynasty. The tribe division unit, using the surname as the name of the tribe, formed the famous eight branches of the party, and it has been living and multiplying in this land of Longxi Island.

Just like the rest of the nomadic tribes who depended on the sky for food and were separated from the Central Plains dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was strong and the Tang Dynasty was strong, the party members would inevitably be controlled and restrained by the Chinese orthodox dynasty, and would inevitably be bullied and exploited by the powerful regime. Therefore, after witnessing the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and personally experiencing the chaos of the impermanent monarch of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, almost all party members felt that only they could establish their own power and only truly have a party member only. Only when they are not bullied and oppressed by anyone, can they truly live on this land with dignity. Therefore, during the series of battles at the beginning of the founding of Xixia, countless party men were spoiled. Blood beheaded, they are all perished without regret, because they have such a dream more or less in their minds.

However, the reality is always more cruel than the beautiful dreams. The party members have not had time to recover from the joy of the independence of the country in the future, and they have discovered that the problems they face are more than they imagined. China, much more.

The original party clan was just a nomadic tribe that depended on the sky for food. For more than a thousand years, only the grass and trees remembered the years. Although they had the oral language they communicated, they did not even have the written word. Moreover, among the various ministries of the party, They are all just loose alliances. If it weren’t for the leaders of the party’s tribes since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese dynasty had awarded the ranks of officials at all levels below the Jiedushishi, so the management system for the upper and lower levels was finally created. At the beginning of Xixia's founding, he was about to fall into that mess.

Fortunately, on that day, the two countries of Song, Liao and Liao were confronted endlessly. Since ancient times, this land of Helong has never belonged to the Liao State. It was founded on the basis of Xixia. Most of the people of the Khitan Liao held the indifferent opinion, although the Liao Xingzong held that day. I have mentioned one hundred thousand elite soldiers for a little trial, but I have never had the intention of destroying Xixia with the power of the whole country. The original master of the land of the river, the Song Dynasty, which is the orthodox China, was just at this time. Avoiding the war, and never invading troops, allowed the emerging Kingdom of Xixia to take a breath and take root in this northwestern border.

Li Yuanhao, the founder of Xixia, can also be regarded as a generation of heroes. He created the Xixia script, established the Xixia upper and lower ordinance system, promoted water conservancy, and persuaded the agricultural mulberry. Using the style of the Central Plains as a template, he wanted to build in this high sky and desert. A peaceful and prosperous age, but unfortunately, to realize this ideal, it requires not only ambition and painstaking management, but also requires the right time and place, and none of them are indispensable. There is a lack of really good land suitable for farming in the western part of the river. , And Dangxiang people have lived as nomads since ancient times, and asking them to settle down to plant land and farming. For many Dangxiang people, it is really more uncomfortable than killing them. After two things, it has formed the Xixia Kingdom for a long time. Of this dilemma.

In fact, with Xixia’s national strength, it is really difficult to fight against great powers such as Liaobang or Song Dynasty. Since the signing of the Yuanyuan alliance with the Song Dynasty, Liaobang has gradually indulged in the wealth of the southern kingdom, and has never arisen again. How much arrogance of arrogance, it’s not enough, but the Great Song Dynasty always regarded this land of Hexi as the territory of the Great Song Kingdom. From under Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, no matter what generation of emperor officials, Whether it is virtuous or unscrupulous, but after all, I dare not forget that one day I will reclaim this old place in Hexi. Even after the alliance of Yuanyuan, the Great Song Dynasty gradually accepted that the restoration of Youyan has become an unattainable dream. After that, the Song Dynasty has devoted more energy to the land of the northwestern continent.

During the past hundred years, the Song Dynasty successively took over the Tubo tribes in Qingzhou and Hehuang, and ordered them to turn their spears together and encircle the Xixia regime together. If it were not for the Song Dynasty to lose the Youyun Sixteenth State and Helong one after another. The most important place to produce horses, so that the marching formation had to rely on the strength of the infantry, which caused the army to move slowly when it advanced, so that the party’s army could take advantage of it, and the Song Dynasty has passed more than a hundred years. With the erosion of Wen Yuwu, the army's combat power and commanding ability of generals have already degraded to a heinous level. Otherwise, I am afraid that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who was willing to work hard in the past, the Emperor of the Shenzong, used a five-way army to defeat the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Xixia Kingdom no longer existed between heaven and earth.

It’s just that, after all, the power of the Song Dynasty has reached a level completely different from that of the Xixia Kingdom. Although the army of the Song Dynasty is composed mainly of infantry, it can only hold on to the city and it is difficult to advance quickly, but the Song Dynasty can afford to consume countless manpower and resources. Material resources, to build a city based on the high-sky desert in the northwest, build a village on the mountain, and forcefully push the strategic position of the Xixia Kingdom into the hinterland of the Xixia Kingdom with a kind of dripping water through the stone progress, which not only makes the Xixia Kingdom The territory is floppy, and it has been alive compressed within the strongholds along the Dasong line. The strategy must be fully integrated into the opponents. If it weren’t for the Jurchen Jinren to rise from time to time, the Daxia Kingdom in the northwestern border was so alive by Dasong. It's just a matter of time for the ground to die.

Ren Dejing’s back to Song Touxia was almost at that point in time, so his reaction to the Lixixia Junior High School that day was also a panoramic view, which made him feel a little helpless until he thought about it. Yes, it is the Xixia Dangxiang aristocracy. For this tomorrow, which seems to have no hope, the attitude that they hold is completely strange after they have been numb. No one has thought about what kind of countermeasures. No one thinks what changes can be made to save this Daxia dynasty.

Ren Dejing can understand the feelings of the party members. Once they have experienced the taste of being the masters of their own affairs, they are never willing to go under the fence and watch their faces live. However, based on the farming knowledge of the party members, they are based on Hexi's knowledge. The climate, soil and other conditions of the land, if they have not reached a certain degree of compromise with the Central Plains Dynasty, if they cannot walk out of the Hexi Plateau, then the Xixia Kingdom will always be in a half-civilized and half-civilized state as it is today. The barbaric situation, even to a large extent, is more like a big tribal alliance, and more like a real kingdom.

The dilemma faced by the Xixia Dynasty was largely caused by the precipitation of the weather and the historical environment. For those who were the masters of the Xixia Kingdom at that time, they did not know how to choose. , I don't know where they should go, so even in the face of the Song Dynasty's step by step, they can only sit and wait for death, just quietly waiting for the final battle.

Limo said that it was the party nobles in Xixia Country. Even the Jurchen himself did not expect that such a savage tribe, who had just walked out of the mountains and black waters, would actually be able to step on the world in just a short time. The two great kingdoms of Liao and Song, which have ruled the world for more than a hundred years, have been overwhelmed in a few years, which has caused a radical change in the world's structure, and it can be regarded as a chance for the Xixia Kingdom to continue.

When Ren Dejing entered the summer, he was almost in the midst of this turbulent world. At that time, he was in the position of conciliator in Xi'an and was at the front line between Song and Xia. Regarding the growth and decline of power between the two, The most clear, though, he had already made up his mind to treason the country without hesitating to abandon the land at the time, but he had already figured out that this change in the world pattern had already brought a whole new dimension to the frontier Daxia. Opportunity, naturally, it would never be possible for him to fall to death, and to wait for death in a kingdom that was exhausted and could only wait to die.

Although the current Jurchen Daikin has been pointed out by Bingfeng in the past few decades since its rise, its momentum is unstoppable. It has not only the land of the old Liao, but also the land of Henan, which was originally in the hands of the Song Dynasty. In the income bag, regardless of the military power and national power, it can be said to be worse than the original Song and Liao countries. It is just that for the Xixia country, the threat from this Jurchen gold is far smaller than that from the beginning. The original Central Plains Song who seemed to be obsessed with martial arts revision.

After all, the Jurchens are a barbaric tribe that just came out of the white mountains and black waters. Even if they were Wanyan Aguda, the founding father of the Jurchens, they were only bullied by the silver angels of the Liao people. In a rage, he raised his troops in anger, but unexpectedly, he played a big golden empire all the way. I was afraid that before the founding of the country and becoming the emperor, even the lady of the Jurchen Golden Kingdom The ancestor emperor did not necessarily think that he could really have such a day.

It can be said that the journey of the Jurchens to gain the country is so smooth, and the Jurchens of today have such a large scale. In the meantime, I don’t know how much it is filled with. Perhaps it can only be explained by the "number of days". Real people’s original model of loose tribal alliances, with their original experience of governing barbaric tribes in a jungle, to manage this huge land now is enough to keep those Jurchen nobles busy, as long as the Jurchen country Those in power in China are not short of mature and respectful generations, so they will not choose to rush to expand at this time when the foundation is not stable.

What's more, even if the young and strong radical forces in the Jurchen Kingdom gain power, or the country has been established for a long time, they will be born with a desire to confuse the inner heart of a universe, then their primary goal must be the Southern Song Dynasty that is still settled in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, for these people For the Jurchen gold people who have just walked out between the white mountains and the black waters, the rich and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the prosperous Song Dynasty house of ten miles of lotus, is one of their primary goals that they have always been thinking about, without day or forgetting. As for the Xixia Kingdom, which is located in this western region, it basically belongs to the same life style as the Jurchen Jinren. Except for the yellow sand and plateau, at most those Jurchens have already seen it. Tired of herding horses and cattle and sheep, especially those young Jurchen nobles who are interested in expansion, are basically those of the Southern Song Dynasty who yearn for novelty and prosperity, and they want to live with the past Jurchen gold. For those who don’t know how many years of the sad days of herding horses and sheep, it is naturally impossible to have much interest in the Xixia Kingdom, which is still stuck in the desert plateau and lived a hard life.

What's more, even though Li Xixia was a minister of both Song and Liao, compared with the Song Dynasty, which had always regarded Xixia as the homeland of the ancestors, the lords of the Xixia dynasties had to be more biased towards Liao, although There has never been a lack of intrigues and wrestling between countries, but relatively speaking, Xixia and Liao countries regard each other as an important force to contain the Song state, so the two countries sometimes exchange marriages. Strictly speaking, the alliance can be regarded as half-true relatives between the royal families of the two countries.

So that day, when the Jurchen Jinren had broken through all the way, seeing that the entire land of the Liao State was already under the iron hooves of the Jurchens, the last emperor of Liao, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who had seen desperation, had also traveled to Xixia, intending to take advantage of it. The strength of Xixia’s forces rose again, and immediately attracted Chen Bing, a Jurchen gold man who was already resentful against him, on the border of Xixia. He put on a posture of no hesitation. He also had several trials with Xixia’s proud Iron Harrier troops. Sexual engagement, although in the end the Xixia Kingdom presiding over the situation, he chose to hand over the Emperor Tianzuo to the Jurchen Jinren, and followed the past practice. For this newly established Jurchen Jinchen, it is also regarded as a tribute. The relationship between the two has temporarily stabilized, but in the eyes of the Jurchen Jinren, the combat effectiveness of this party cavalry, polished in the high-sky desert of the northwest, can be regarded as a certain degree of evaluation.

Corresponding to this is the incompetence and weakness of the Song Dynasty army that was cultivated under the century-old Yanwu Xiuwen policy of the Song Dynasty at that time. It has almost reached a shocking level, the only one in the country. The only ones capable of combat are the Great Song Western Army, which has faced off with the Western Xia Cavalry for decades at the Song Xia border.

Although Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was blindly intoxicated and incompetent, he was confused and incompetent in national and military affairs, but at this point, he can see it clearly, so he was so happy to make an agreement with the Jurchen Jinren. I pledged to send troops together to attack the Liao State, hoping to accomplish the ambition of restoring the Yanyan that has not been achieved by the ancestors since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. The first thing that comes to mind is this branch stationed on the border of Song Xia. The elite western army, together with an edict, sent the western army northward, as the real main force to attack the Liao Kingdom with the Jurchen gold.

It’s just that in the past many years, whether it is the emperor of the Song Dynasty or the ministers who ruled the country and governed by the time courts, perhaps they have also been familiar with military books, and they may not have their own strategies on the overall strategic situation. Views, but after all, it is completely negligent of military affairs. The real details of the marching formation are completely unfamiliar. Therefore, this branch has been stationed in the northwest border for nearly a hundred years, whether it is normal training or It is a combat method, and it is naturally based on the terrain of the plateau and desert in the Hexi Land, and the army set up according to the experience of the Xixia army in the residence, whether it can adapt to the rushing operations in the open terrain of the Yanyan Land, it has not been considered at all. This Great Song Western Army, which was used to implement the Pingxia strategy that was defended by the city and slowly advancing, could indeed be called an elite division, and the combat power that can be exerted during the wild battle with the Jurchen Jinren, and What a discount, plus the mutual elbow between the governors of the DPRK and China that day, the military affairs were regarded as a child’s play, so that this army that has held the northwestern frontier of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, actually Due to the collection of such unfavorable factors, as soon as the defeated army of the Liao State was defeated, it was so defeated that not only did the original plan of attacking the Liao State with the Jurchen army and regaining the Land of the Swallows be impossible to achieve. , And even more so that the Jurchen Jinren can see through the powerful appearance of the prosperous and prosperous economy of the Da Song Dynasty, the real face of the slack and vulnerable military equipment, that is, from that time on, the Jurchen’s heart has been raised. The whip went south, and immediately went to the Central Plains, intending to looting in the world's most prosperous world in their minds.

And after the most elite Western army of the Song Dynasty almost exhausted its entire army in this battle, when the Jurchen army stepped south, the Song Dynasty almost had no resistance at all, even everywhere. The Xiangjun troops of the Chinese army, and the imperial troops that the center had mobilized to fight against the Jurchen army, almost fleeing after hearing the wind when they met the Jurchens, they fleeed and collapsed in an organized way, so that the Jurchens went so smoothly. Letting horses go to the bottom of Bianjing, along the way countless strong cities, giant villages, rivers and natural dangers, unexpectedly, they have not even caused much trouble to the Jurchen people, the army dominated by horses. Looking at the past and present, such things have never happened. Never before.

Even when Zhao Gou went to the south and re-established the Great Song Emperor Zuo in the southern half of the Yangtze River, the Jurchens came and went freely every time they went to and from the Song Realm. Even the young people in the Jurchen Golden Kingdom thought of themselves every time. The second trip to the Song Dynasty was plundered without loss, so everyone enjoys it, and even until now, the Jurchen Jinren has already suffered a few times after the four iron armies of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, that kind of contempt. Da Song always felt that Song Jun’s vulnerable mentality was still very popular among the Jurchen younger generation. It was because the impression that Song Jun left on the Jurchen gold was really too deep, I’m afraid it’s going to be there. Once Zhao Kuangyin suffered such a big loss for the elite troops of the most direct line of the Jurchen Jinren led by Jin Wushu, it might be possible to change.

Therefore, in Ren Dejing's view, the Jurchen Jin Dynasty was established in the Liao and Song Dynasty, and then occupied the land of Henan in the Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty drove the Song Dynasty to the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River to linger, although the Jurchen Jin Kingdom was better than any other country in the Liao and Song Dynasties. To be stronger, but the Xixia Kingdom is actually at the safest time it has never had since the founding of the country.

The Jurchens only originated from the barbaric tribes between the White Mountains and the Black Waters. Although they were able to establish their country and expand their land because of the destiny, they still have no foundation in the economic or political system. Even if they can be the Jurchens, there are no shortage of capable people. , Can gradually stabilize the existing structure, but I don’t know how much time and effort it takes. What’s more, these things are easy to say but difficult to do. I am afraid that there are not a few generations of people who have worked hard for ten years. It is difficult to really create a new situation.

And the Song Dynasty, which has always regarded Xixia as an enemy, almost fell under the iron hooves of the Jurchen Golden People. Now it is shrouded in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. Although Yue Fei and others have risen like comets, they immediately became fainted monarchs. The personally strangling, according to the appearance at the time, I am afraid that in a long period of time, how to keep this half of the south of the Yangtze River under the iron shoes of the Jurchens is the most worrying issue for the people of the Song Dynasty. In the current situation where even the old place of Henan, the artifacts of Bianjing have fallen into the hands of the Jurchen Jinren, naturally no one in the upper and lower parts of the Song Dynasty would have the mood to worry about this piece of northwestern China that no longer borders the Song Dynasty. Bianzhou plateau desert land.

Therefore, although Ren Dejing lived in the mentality of traditional scholars, he was still a little sad and sorrowful about the clothes of the old country falling into the hands of Yi Di, but it was more of a kind of secretly glad that he was carrying it. Song Touxia was at the right time, and even because of his prosperous position in the Xixia Kingdom at that time, he had some great ambitions that he didn't dare to imagine. After all, in this upturned and chaotic world, he was originally a hero. A good time for meritorious deeds.

But now that all this is said, it has no meaning anymore.

Because since the battle between Song and Jin ended with such an ending dozens of days ago, the situation between the world must have undergone a completely different change.

Over the years, there have been countless large and small battles between Song and Jin. They have won and lost each other. It is not too surprising how the results of the battle are lost. However, this battle is due to that Jin Wushu personally led the Jurchen direct line of 200,000. The scale of the cavalry's arrival has a completely different meaning because of the imperial conquest of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Prior to this, the people in power at the center of the world were all concerned about this battle that was enough to shake the world's structure, but at that time, although they all roughly judged that the Jurchen gold people did not really have this **, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed in one fell swoop. The strength of the room, but he never expected that the Emperor of Song Dynasty would naturally choose the imperial conquest when the army was overwhelmed, and he would use the weak to beat the strong, and the less to win the more, let this number The army of one hundred thousand Jurchens went away like this, and even seized hundreds of thousands of war horse ordnance in the first battle.

I don’t know how many people, and it was not until the moment after the report came, that they had already made up their minds to seek peace and avoid the war. They were so weak that they had even destroyed the Great Wall. Several members of Zhongxinghu will be thrown into the idle Southern Song Dynasty, and they have changed their appearance overnight. It seems that from the emperor's official house, the entire Song Dynasty was transformed by a weak and weak scholar who was afraid of cowardice and weak. It became a fierce tiger with its teeth and claws, exposing its hideous minions toward the world.

Ren Dejing didn't know what the people in power in other countries thought about this, but the horror caused by the battle of Song and Jin this time could not be overstated.

Even if it has been in the summer for many years, in Ren Tingjing's mind, he still insists on the notion that may be very disapproving from the eyes of the Jurchen gold or the Xixia party members at this time, that is, China is not to be insulted. This is not only the teachings read in those sages and sages, but also the experience gained by Ren Dejing from a survey of the past and the present over the years.

China has been in a situation of being surrounded by the four barbarians. Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Northern Man Huqi has never stopped the conflict with the Central Plains China Empire. However, even the Five Hus of the past, or the Turks and Tubo since the Sui and Tang Dynasties The continued rise of the powerful Hu nationality, such as Khitan, and Khitan, is ultimately impossible to truly shake the vitality of China. No matter how prosperous the momentum of Hu Qi seems to be, there will still be Chinese heroes who will dominate the Central Plains in the end.

Although the Song of the Central Plains seems to have never taken too much advantage when confronting Bianman since the founding of the country, it has always given people an image of weakness, but its prosperous culture and economic prosperity, but also absolutely. It is not that other Liao, Jin, and Xixia states can be compared. If it were not for the early death of Song Taizu, the founder of the country, who admired martial arts, and the subsequent monarchs would have overcorrected, I am afraid that today's world would have long been a different situation.

Under the leadership of the current emperor official, the current Da Song seems to have a completely different atmosphere from the previous Yan Wu Xiuwen. How can this make Ren Dejing not secretly surprised.

Regardless of whether he wants it or not, he is now the prime minister of the Xixia Kingdom. Even if he considers himself as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, he is above reality. His glory, wealth and even his wealth and life have already been with the Xixia Kingdom. Being united as one, all will be prosperous, and all will be lost. Naturally, he has to think more about the future of the Xixia Dynasty.

Originally, the Jurchen Jinren were strong, and the Southern Kingdom was weak. Song could barely defend himself. There was not much to worry about in the situation, but the current situation is a bit of a reversal. I really can’t help being respectful and not planning early. painting.

After all, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the northwestern frontier of the Western Xia Dynasty has been regarded as the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Xixia Party’s regime is a rebel of the Great Song Dynasty who relied on the soil. Although the Song Dynasty has been revising by martial arts, it has always been quite popular. Feeling of weakness, there are many factions in the DPRK, and the opinions are divided. However, it is about the one day that Xixia will be eliminated and the northwestern land will be restored. No matter which faction is in power, it is self-righteous. Surprisingly consistent, even in the situation, they often send envoys to and exchange border trade with Xixia, but at the same time, the surrounding arrangement along the Xixia line can be said to have never been relaxed since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. .

After all, Song Zhizhi inherited the fortunes of three generations and ruled the world with gentleness. For the Emperor of Song Dynasty, although the land of Xixia Border State was mostly plateau and desert, it was the land of the ancestors, and the Xixia Kingdom was transferred to the Dangxiang people. The Han people under the iron hoof are even the people of China. Shepherds the land of the ancestors and the people of the ancestors. It is the duty and obligation of the prince of China to protect the land and the people of the ancestors. This is the duty and obligation of the king of China. Regardless of their political stances, no matter what their political stances are, they will not have the slightest disagreement. It is like the dream of regaining the Sixteen Continents of Youyun, deeply burned in the bones and blood of the Song Dynasty, even if it is due to the situation and the Liao State and Xixia. Each entered into an alliance for peace talks, but as long as there is a chance, even if the Song Dynasty is in power, like the Huizong emperor or Cai Jing, Tong Guan, such as the former Emperor Huizong, or Cai Jing, Tong Guan, the faint emperor and mediocrity, they will not hesitate to have something. As.

On that day, Li Xixia was already overwhelming for the Song Dynasty, and the territory was getting floppy. It was only because of the sudden rise of the Jurchen Jinren that there was such a turning point. If the Song Dynasty now swept away the old weakness, it would be the opposite. Reappearing the martial arts of the Emperor Taizu, forging ahead, regaining the old place and even taking the Youyan, completely defeating the Jurchen Jinren, even if the Xixia Kingdom will continue to die, and no longer exist in the world.

It is precisely because of this that after receiving the Qin Hui letter, Ren Dejing decided to go to the Song Dynasty and his party. Of course, he said to the group of teachers behind his daughter Ren Dowager that he wanted to take the opportunity to start the turmoil. , In order to take chestnuts from the fire and replace Jin Wang Cha Ge in the Xixia army, but it is more that he also wants to see with his own eyes what he originally thought he had completely figured out the Great Song Dynasty. He completely grasped the unknown changes.

"Living in the plateau and desert for the world has made it difficult for all the people in Xixia to make a living, but it has also made the courage of the party clan that depend on life and safety, and has never completely dissipated with the rich life of the flower world. , Don’t say it’s that compared to the old days of the Khitan Liao, it was compared with the vigorous Jurchen cavalry. I am afraid that the party cavalry would be fearless if the forces were equal. If the current situation allows, the party Xixia may not have no chance at all," Ren Dejing said, but his originally impassioned face showed a look of helplessness: "It's a pity..."

It’s a pity that although the deserted land made the party members brave and courageous, it also greatly restricted the party members’ horizons from top to bottom, so that almost no matter which department the party members were in the country, they were governing. However, their eyes are often only focused on the one-third of the land in the northwestern border, and they are always thinking about how to keep the rule of the Xixia Kingdom in the northwestern border. There has never been a half-centred view of the world.

When it comes to the idea of protecting the environment and the people, it’s nothing wrong in troubled times. It’s okay, but what’s more frightening is that most of these party aristocrats are short-sighted, and their so-called safety is only focused on what is in front of them. In terms of the situation, I just want a moment of peace, and I feel satisfied. In this regard, it is somewhat similar to the Southern Song Dynasty that blindly seeks peace a few days ago, or compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, it has a little vision and layout. Like the tribes in the barbaric period, they all hold the idea that people will not offend me and I will not offend others. Even such a battle of Song and Jin will cause the key changes in the reintegration of the world. They also feel that Xixia can be alone. In addition, it was because Ren Dejing had to cite Jin Wangchage's reason, which was able to make this trip into the Song Dynasty to obtain the full support of the Xixia Queen's party.

It's just that these words will not be announced at this time, so they just sighed slightly and shook their head in silence.

"Listening to the Lord's words is better than reading for ten years." Zhao Kuangyin looked at Ren Dejing and fell silent, smiled slightly, raised his wine bowl and said, "I will respect Brother Chen again!"

Ren Dejing raised his cup, and before he could say the words of Xunxie, the gangster in front of his ears slowly said: "Is it just that Brother Chen is really surnamed Chen?!"

"Xiongtai is drunk", Ren Dujing listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words, but he was only a little startled. Even the full drink in the glass never overflowed half a drop. He laughed and drank the glass in his hand. Smiled and said: "Chen is not surnamed Chen, but what can he be?"

"Based on Xiongtai's aptitude and magnanimity in the conversation, wouldn't it be a pity if it was Chen?" Zhao Kuangyin laughed blankly. He stared at Ren Dejing, as if he could see through his heart's writhing under his calm expression Shocked, he slowly said: "I think Xiongtai should be the last name..."

As Zhao Kuangyin spoke, he suddenly seemed to be aware of something. He suddenly raised his head, looked away from Ren Dejing, and shot directly at the door of the inn.

Almost at the same time, not far from the inn, there was a sound of clashes of weapons and blades, and a clear scream, which went straight to the ears of everyone present: "Respect, you get out of me!"
