Chapter 122: Tracking (2)
Li Jiqian is an outlier in the destruction of the great integration of Han and Fan, Li Jiqian's grandson Li Yuanhao inherited his grandfather's brutal and gangster; forcibly established a white and tall Xia kingdom on the accumulated white bones of thousands of people, and was recognized by the Khitans on the northern grasslands.
The Khitan recognized the legal status of the Bai Gao Daxia Kingdom, which was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it; Strengthen your own power and join forces to deal with the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, creating one of the most glorious eras in history; However, it could not withstand the harassment and erosion of several barbarian regimes in the surrounding area, and finally perished and was defeated.
When Liu Min read the Chinese classics in later generations, he was saddened by this period of history; He has been thinking about several traitors in history who led to the almost demise of the Chinese nation.
In 500 years, there was an era of rebels, and the first one was An Lushan, a Turkic who created the "Anshi Rebellion".
The second is undoubtedly Zhu Wen, who killed the eunuchs and destroyed the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiqian and his grandson Li Yuanhao ranked third, which was more than enough.
The rebellion of Li Jiqian's grandson completely blocked the road to the Western Regions of the Northern Song Dynasty; The dynasty that could have continued the fortunes of the country could only end with sorrow, and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, there was no more China in history.
This seems to be a bit pessimistic, but the students will know what is going on when they look at the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty that followed.
Don't think that the increase of time is the progress of society, the Yuan and Qing dynasties of Yidi who came into control of the Central Plains are a big regression in any respect, and what Kangqian prosperous era is all deceptive nonsense.
Liu Min thought about the Great Xia Baijie Kingdom established by Li Jiqian and his descendants in the future, and his thoughts returned to the Zhe Yuzhong beside him.
Zhi Yuzhong rushed all the way from Fuzhou on the bank of the Yellow River to the Songpan area to track Li Jiqian, to clear a roadblock for the Great Song Dynasty; His feelings are commendable, and his heart can be loyal, which makes Liu Min admire and admire.
Li Jiqian contacted the Zhe family in Fuzhou to oppose Song Zili, but was resolutely rejected by the Zhe family; The world will not forget it after the Gao Feng Liang Festival.
The ancestor of the Zhe family is the Xianbei Tuoba clan, and Li Yuanhao, who established the Western Xia, is an ethnic group; However, the Zhe family has always been the main force in the fight against Western Xia, even if it is of the same clan; The Zhe clan also did not allow the Li clan of Western Xia to undermine the unity of many ethnic groups in China, and Li Jiqian and his descendants undermined the great unity of the Fanhan nation, and the Zhe clan rose up to beat them.
During the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Zhe family was already stationed in Fuzhou to defend against the Liao State; After returning to the Song Dynasty, the family still stayed in Fuzhou, forming a rare separatist force in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin's "cup of wine to release military power" is famous all over the world, and he will get all the knots with a little strength to Bianliang to eliminate the hidden danger of their separation; Only the Fold family was left, and Fuzhou was used as the base of the Fold family.
Fuzhou is Yulin City, Fugu County, in later generations, there are not many people, so even if the family wants to stand on their own, it may be more difficult.
The actual strength of the Zhejia army is only a few thousand, and if there is a war, the Song court will receive food and weapons from Jifu Prefecture; Support the Zhejia to fight against the Western Xia.
And the Zhe family was also loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and fought to the death for the Great Song Dynasty.
The founder of the Zhe family, Zhe Congruan, has repeatedly defeated the Khitan since the end of the Tang Dynasty and was named the envoy of the Yong'an Army.
This Yong'an military festival envoy was in charge of the military affairs of Fuzhou and was attacked by the family for generations; Zhe Congruan's eldest son, Zhe De Yan, is the second generation of the head of the family, and his daughter (Zhe Saihua) is married to Yang Ye, who is the She (Zhe) Taijun in the traditional opera.
The Ori family adopted a system of successive brothers to ensure that each generation of the head of the family could lead the army into battle until the next generation grew up and passed on the throne to them.
This system effectively ensured that the Zhe family could continue and not collapse all at once because of the death of any one in battle.
The Jiangmen education of the Zhejia family is also very successful, and famous generals can emerge in almost every generation; For hundreds of years, it has been undefeated and stands in the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family and the Yang family were both famous generals in the anti-Liao Dynasty, and the Yang family gave up their original territory to become ordinary generals of the Great Song Dynasty.
Fuzhou, because of its geographical location closer to the west, was able to maintain a certain degree of autonomy after the rise of Western Xia.
In order to defend against the invasion of Western Xia, the Zhe family fought countless bloody battles, and the fourth-generation family heads Zhi Weixin and Zhe Weichang brothers died on the battlefield.
In the seventh generation, the Zhejia army was still a relatively effective force at that time, and the forbidden army in the interior had long been decayed, and the Zhejia was requisitioned and transferred to various places to suppress the rebel armies; Zhe Kecun followed Tong Guan to extinguish the Fangla Uprising and the Song Jiang Uprising, and it is said that Song Jiang was caught by Zhe Kecun.
Among the generals of this generation, the most dazzling is the fold Keshi, which is known as the "real general".
Zhi Keshi left the Fuzhou army and entered the regular military general system of the Song army, and his exploits were all achieved on the battlefield with the Western Xia.
In 1091 A.D., he led 6,000 men and horses, first successfully attacked the beacon tower in disguise, and then raided the tail Ding Zhen, broke the Western Xia army, and beheaded 10,000 people.
The Western Xia concentrated tens of thousands of cavalry to avenge the defeat of Wei Dingyi, and there were only 8,000 people in Zhe Keshi. He did not directly meet the battle, but fully mobilized the Western Xia army, and after a few days, when the enemy army was eager to engage and relaxed his vigilance, he successfully set up an ambush again, causing unprecedented losses to the Western Xia. The Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia Kingdom and her subordinates fled back after crossing the mountains and mountains.
In 1098, the Western Xia invaded the territory again, and Zhe Keshi sent troops in the middle of the night to defeat the Western Xia army, captured more than 3,000 people, and captured the important Tiandu Mountain from the Western Xia army.
Zhi Keshi was promoted to the pacification envoy of Jingyuan Road, breaking through the highest position of the Zhi family in Fuzhou.
Zhe Keshi has a younger brother Zhe Keqiu, the official worships Jingkang Junjie envoy, this official name was changed by Song Huizong, the reason is that he thinks the word "Jingkang" is too good to be wasted, and he wants to use it as his own era name. As a result, Jing Kang was ashamed, so that the Chinese remembered this emperor who could only draw and could not govern the country for more than 1,000 years.
The Zhe family also produced the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and it was the son of Zhe Keshi, Zhi Yan. Although Zhi Yanzhi is a family of military generals, he is a literary talent, and he is an out-and-out civil official, serving as a scholar of Longtuge University, and Bao Qingtian is at the same level. When the Jin army attacked Bianjing, he served as the king with the western army of the Chongjia family, and has been on the front line of the Jin army ever since.
Helplessly, the combat effectiveness of the Song army has been eroded, and most of China has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
However, Orihiko's military ability was recognized by the Southern Song court, and in 1135, Orihiko was appointed as the secretary of the military department, and later became the governor of Quanshen, equivalent to the prime minister. This was the highest position of the Zhe family in the Song Dynasty.
The Zhe family and the Western Xia fought for hundreds of years, and with the Zhe family, the Western Xia has never been able to cross the Yellow River.
After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the power of the Zhe family was also greatly weakened; In 1139, the Western Xia finally captured Fuzhou, and in order to avenge the century-old blood feud, the Western Xia dug up the ancestral grave of the Fold family, which is really hateful.
However, the Western Xia did not be complacent for long, and the Mongols rose up and wiped out the Western Xia Dangxiang clan.
Li Jiqian was 17 years old when he came to Songpan Maozhou, and at the age of 17, the party members embarked on the road of rebellion against the Song Dynasty; It seems that the water and soil in Pingxia City have a rebellious character from the roots......
