Chapter 1372: Great Xia Kingdom

"Even if the devils of the Japanese country don't know how to do it, they can't stand up to the traitors who know how to do it. Tang Yi shook his head, and suddenly remembered Sanyang Yuanzun. Although many dangers are still unknown, it is indeed worth it to think that such a thing can be retrieved from the Wa Kingdom!

White was obviously not interested in this topic, and shifted to the Western Xia, "In the history of China, I also heard that this Western Xia is very mysterious, and there is no written history, but I heard that they have their own writing, Mr. Tang, do you know the Western Xia language?" ”

"Don't talk about me, now I can't find a few people in the country who know Xixia Wen." Tang Yi said.

"Lao Fang didn't come, he is very good at ancient characters, and he can know some of the Western Xia characters." Qin Lao said to Tang Yi.

"If you don't revise history, how do you know about the history of Western Xia?" White seemed interested.

Tang Yi looked at the time, "It's almost time to eat, let's just go to the cafeteria, let's chat while eating, and then watch it in the afternoon, it will be over at noon tomorrow!" ”

"Good!" Wai nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the three of them found a place and chatted while eating. In order to save trouble, White didn't go to the Western food area, but simply went to the Chinese food area with Tang Yi and Qin Lao.

"Because the Western Xia was about the same time as the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liaojin Dynasty, a lot of history is based on the history of the Song Dynasty and the Liaojin Dynasty." Tang Yi told White while eating.

Western Xia is the dynasty of the Dangxiang clan, and they call it the Great Xia Kingdom, because it is in the west of the Song Kingdom, so the Song people call it Western Xia.

Originally, there was no porcelain in Western Xia, what should I do if I want to use porcelain? Rob it, grab it from Da Song.

After the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty discussed peace, they couldn't rob it, so they followed the Song people to learn to make porcelain. Slowly, the Western Xia also began to develop the porcelain manufacturing industry. The capital of Western Xia was Xingqing, which is now Yinchuan. The porcelain industry in this Western Xia is basically concentrated in Xingqing.

According to the current archaeological excavations, the porcelain of Western Xia is mainly white bowls and white plates, and then black glazed bottles and jars. The style is relatively simple, to be honest, Tang Yi doesn't think it's too high a standard of art.

"There is no historical material for the history of the Western Xia Dynasty, but there must be more detailed reference historical materials for how the country was founded before, right?" White listened and asked Tang Yidao.

Knowledge is something that may feel very boring if you read a book, but if someone talks about it, and it is easy to talk about it, it may arouse interest, and now White is in such a state.

"This is the case, there was originally a Xiazhou Festival envoy at the earliest. When Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, began to deprive the local feudal towns of military power, but he was still very tolerant of this Dangxiang clan in the northwest, so that the Li clan in power could inherit. Tang Yi responded.

However, when it came to Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the situation changed. Zhao Guangyi pacified the north, and at the same time planned to "invite" the Li family to the capital Kaifeng, so as to pull out this hidden danger.

At that time, the envoy of the Xiazhou Festival was named Li Jishou, and he was summoned to the capital. But Li Jishou has a cousin named Li Jiqian, but he doesn't want to be controlled like this. But if you don't listen to the emperor, you definitely can't. In the end, I just didn't do anything and ran away!

With a group of people and horses, he escaped into the grassland desert in the northwest.

Zhao Guangyi was calm in the world at that time, and he was full of ambition, thinking that he was not just a gang of bandits? ran to the backwoods, and there shouldn't be anything wrong, so I didn't send someone to chase after me.

However, this Li Jiqian is not a thing in the pool, this person is said to be ambitious and proficient in strategy.

After running to the northwest, what did he do in the early days? Marry a wife!

Married wives and concubines, several in a row. It's not that he covets beauty, because the wives and concubines he marries should basically not look good. However, they are all the daughters of local leaders!

That's how the forces arose.

During the Yongxi period, the situation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State was very tense, and it was later defeated by the Liao State. Li Jiqian saw this opportunity, first booby-trapped a Song general named Cao Guangshi, occupied Yinzhou, and then attacked Huizhou.

In this regard, he completely turned his face with Da Song.

Li Jiqian was very smart, and while he turned his face with the Great Song Dynasty, he bowed down to the Liao State and was named the King of Xia by the Liao State. With this guarantee, Li Jiqian began to attack the Song Dynasty on a large scale, intercepting grain and grass, and besieging Song City, which was extremely arrogant for a while.

Zhao Guangyi was furious, the bandits who were let go back then have now become the climate! Zhao Guangyi sent a five-way army to attack the Xia State.

Unfortunately, the Five Routes Army was defeated.

Later, Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong died, and Song Zhenzong ascended the throne, and he actually confessed! ceded a lot of land in the northwest to Li Jiqian.

The embryonic shape of the Great Xia Kingdom was initially determined.

Song Zhenzong confessed and only bought a short-lived peace. After consolidating his power, Li Jiqian led his army and successively captured Lingzhou and Liangzhou, which were important towns in the northwest.

Liangzhou is a very important place, the throat of the Northwest Passage. After occupying Liangzhou, Li Jiqian cut off the passage between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions! There are two main impacts:

First, at that time, there were many small countries in the Western Regions that wanted to pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, so now it's okay, there is no need to enter. Second, a considerable part of the horses of the Great Song Dynasty were purchased from the Western Regions, and they can't be bought now! Both financial and military power have been severely affected.

The so-called return of the tiger to the mountain, this is the case.

Li Jiqian's ambition was great, and he died in the end on ambition. At that time, he wanted to make an alliance with the Tibetans, but he was plotted by the Tibetans and died of a serious arrow wound.

His eldest son, Li Deming, ascended the throne.

If Li Jiqian is a pioneer, then Li Deming is a pioneer, and then Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao is the founder of the Great Xia Kingdom.

When the throne first passed to Li Yuanhao (he himself threw away this Han surname "Li", but for the sake of convenience, let's call it so in the text), although Xia Guo did not stand on his own, his strength was already very strong. Li Yuanhao is also not a simple person, he founded the Western Xia script and started the Western Xia era name.

In the end, Li Yuanhao was no longer subject to the titles of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, established the Great Xia Kingdom, and ascended the throne as emperor.

In this way, the war with Song and Liao cannot be avoided. But this Li Yuanhao is very awesome, defeating the Great Song Dynasty in a row in a few years, and annihilating a large number of northwest elites. At the same time, in the Battle of Hequ, he directly defeated the Emperor of Liao, who was personally conquered!

The spring breeze is proud.

As soon as this person is proud, he easily gets carried away. Basically, it started to have fun, and it was very violent.

Li Yuanhao also did the same thing as Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, robbing his daughter-in-law to be his wife! Tang Xuanzong robbed his son Shouwang Li Mao's wife, and finally became Yang Guifei, Li Yuanhao robbed his son Ning Lingge's wife, and also made a concubine.
