…

When everyone in the world was opposed, Li Yan also strongly supported Li Qingzhao, which made Li Qingzhao extremely moved, and then secretly vowed to help Li Yan cultivate this epic canon.

In addition, at Li Yan's suggestion, Li Qingzhao also built the first library in history in Bianliang City.

The specific location of this library is in the east of Jinglongmen, the west of Fengqiumen, the north of Donghuamen, and the south of Jinglongjiang, that is, on the edge of Genyue Shoushan.

Speaking of Genyue Shoushan, I can't help but feel a little pity.

Regardless of why it was built, it has been built after all, it has become a picturesque garden, a miracle created by mankind, and a world cultural heritage.

Zhao Ji's ability to be the emperor is not good, but his artistic attainments are beyond doubt.

In the last life, when the Jin soldiers went south, part of the Taihu Lake stone that was being shipped to Tokyo was abandoned on the way, and became the precious landscape in the Jiangnan garden in later generations - Shanghai Yu Garden "Jade Linglong", four meters high, three meters wide, delicate and delicate, there are seventy-two natural holes, if a furnace of incense is placed at the bottom of the stone, it will smoke from the holes. There is a crown of cloud peaks in the Lingering Garden in Suzhou, which is 5.6 meters high, and is known for its beautiful and clear. Suzhou Huanxiu Villa, Master of Nets Garden, Nanjing Zhan Garden famous Taihu Lake stone. These are all relics of the "Flower Stone Class".

In the last life, after the Jin soldiers captured Bianliang City in Tokyo, a batch of Xiushi from Genyue was transported to Yanjing thousands of miles away, and later stacked in Zhongshan Park in Beijing, Beihai and other places.

These are just the remnants of Genyue Shoushan, and they have become a breathtaking existence.

Therefore, if Genyue Shoushan, which Zhao Ji personally designed and supervised, can be preserved, it will definitely be a miracle of scenic spot in future generations, which can bring immeasurable tourism income to Bianliang City.

It's a pity -

When the Jin people went south to attack Bianliang City for the first time, Zhao Huan ordered people to take more than 100,000 mountain birds and water birds from Genyue Shou Mountain, and threw them into the Bianhe River, listened to what they wanted, demolished the house for salary, chiseled stones for cannons, cut down bamboo for grate fences, and took thousands of big deer, and killed them to eat the guard cloud.

Under Zhao Huan's order, Genyue Shoushan was greatly damaged, and it was difficult to recover.

After Li Yan entered Bianliang City, he scoffed at Zhao Huan's violent behavior, and he asked people to pick up the Taihu Lake stones that were originally used as cannon stones, and replant the felled bamboo, restoring some of the original appearance of Genyue Shoushan.

But—

Li Yan did this, not to be like Zhao Ji, to enjoy this Genyue Shoushan by himself - before doing this, Li Yan announced to the world that after the Genyue Shoushan was restored, except for a section even in the palace, all other areas were open to the outside world, becoming the world's first theme park, and the income was used for the maintenance of Genyue Shoushan, and the other was used for the development of education and the construction of schools.

The first library in history was also built on the edge of Gendake.

This allowed the literati to read and enjoy the scenery at the same time.

Of course, there is a small purpose in this - in this way, it can also make Gen Yue better income, you know, the literati and artists of this era are all rich people, and they are definitely willing to spend a lot of money for this poetic and picturesque feeling.

The revision of the canon will be a very long-term thing.

The revision of the "Yongle Canon" lasted a total of five years.

The revision of the "Siku Quanshu" lasted a total of seven years.

And the canon that Li Yan wants to revise is designated to be stronger than the "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Quanshu", so the revision time must be longer than the revision of the "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Quanshu", which may last more than ten years.

What Li Yan wants to do is not a face-saving project and a political performance project, but wants to do something real.

Therefore, Li Yan didn't want to waste more than ten years in vain.

Therefore, Li Yan gave Li Qingzhao the idea of this library, and asked Li Qingzhao to put the compiled canons into the library in batches for the people of the world to watch and study, and in addition, put the literature they used, that is, the books of the world that they copied, into the library for the people of the world to watch and study.

In fact, there is another advantage of doing this, that is, it can allow people in the world to supervise Li Qingzhao's revision of the canon, and if there are mistakes, they can also correct them in time.

Later, the world was decided, and Li Yan drew the world into nine states, set up Jiujing, and built such a library in each Kyoto, but this was a long time later.

Now, the 17-year-old ceremony movement has just begun.

At this moment, the Western Xia delegation came to Bianliang City.

The Western Xia was not originally an independent state, but a minority local government attached to the Han dynasty established by the Tuoba Department of the Dangxiang clan a long time ago.

There has always been controversy over the issue of the ethnic affiliation of the Tuoba tribe of the Dangxiang clan.

Some people say that the Dangxiang tribe is a branch of the Qiang nationality, originally lived in the Tubo Plateau, and later moved to northern Shaanxi, they take the surname as the tribal name, and the tribe as the division unit, and the Tuoba Department is the strongest one among the eight departments of the party.

Some people also say that they are descendants of the Xianbei tribe, because there is also a Tuoba Department in the Xianbei tribe, and the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms was established by the Xianbei Tuoba Department, and Li Yuanhao, the founding monarch of the Western Xia, also claimed to be a descendant of the Tuoba Department of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

There are even people who boldly speculate that the upper-class nobles of the Dangxiang Tuoba tribe may be descendants of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, while the low-level masses may be descendants of the Qiang Tuoba tribe.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang court had already begun to set up administrative institutions in the areas where the Dangxiang ethnic groups gathered, and appointed prestigious tribal chiefs as state governors to implement fetter rule.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the Huangchao Uprising, the Dangxiang clan Youzhou (later Inner Mongolia Etuoke Banner) assassin Shi Tuoba Sigong sent troops to fight against the rebel army, once recovered Chang'an, and made military achievements.

Therefore, Tang Xizong named Tuoba Sigong as the envoy of Xiazhou (now Hengshan County, Shaanxi), and was given the title of Dingyan Army, and later was named the Duke of Xia Guo, and was given the surname Li.

Since then, the leader of the Tuoba Department of the Dangxiang clan has been surnamed Li for generations, forming a northern Shaanxi feudal town with Xiazhou as the center and the four prefectures of Yin, Xia, Sui, and You.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Xiazhou Festival made Li Yiyin a vassal to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty continued to exercise restraint rule over him.

This is a ruling policy adopted by the central dynasty in the Tang and Song dynasties for ethnic minority areas - the imperial court set up special administrative units in ethnic minority areas, appointed its chiefs or chiefs as local officials, allowed hereditary, maintained its original form of social organization and management institutions, except for being politically subordinate to the imperial court and paying tribute on time, other affairs were managed by themselves, and the central government generally did not interfere.

This policy is not very nice to say, but in fact it is of great significance for consolidating state power, stabilizing social order, and promoting ethnic exchanges and development.

The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory, and there were many more prefectures under its name than the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the prefectures were mainly concentrated in the south, especially in the southwest, and in the remote ethnic minority areas.

In the seventh year of the Taiping rejuvenation of the Song Dynasty, there was civil strife among the Li clan in Xiazhou.

Zhao Kuangyi thought that this was a good opportunity to eliminate the power of the Xiazhou domain, so he ordered Li Ji to enter the court after Xiazhou.

For various complicated reasons, Li Jisheng was soon ordered to enter Beijing, and dedicated the land of Xia Yin Suiyoujing to the five states, and expressed his willingness to live in Beijing.

Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed, so he appointed him as the envoy of the Zhangde Army, and at the same time sent an envoy to Xiazhou, so that the relatives of the Li family moved to Tokyo with their families.

Naturally, there is also Li Jiqian's brother Li Jiqian on the internal migration list.

Li Jiqian was very dissatisfied with this, he lied about the death of his nursing mother, took the opportunity of the funeral, and led more than a dozen of his henchmen to flee to Dijinze (later Inner Mongolia Yikezhao League Bayannur).

After that, Li Jiqian gathered all party departments to raise troops against the Song Dynasty, and sent people to express their willingness to join Liao Shengzong, so as to obtain the support of Liao.

Li Jiqian's power gradually grew, and he continued to raid the northwestern frontier of the Song Dynasty, successively seizing Yinzhou (later Shaanxi Mizhi), Lingzhou (later Ningxia Lingwu) and Liangzhou (later Gansu Wuwei), occupying the Hetao Plain.

Why couldn't the Song Dynasty send a large army to exterminate Li Jiqian in time?

Because at that time, war had broken out in Song and Liao.

The Liao State was eyeing the Central Plains, and the Liao Iron Cavalry posed a huge threat to the security of the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty had to arrange the main force on the northern front line, and had no time to look west.

It can be said that Li Jiqian was a person who brought about fundamental changes in the political pattern and political power of the northwest border region of the Song Dynasty.

In December of the fifth year of Xianping of Song Zhenzong, Li Jiqian was attacked by the Tubo army and fled with arrows, and died in the first month of the first year of Jingde, and his son Li Deming succeeded to the throne.

After Li Deming became the lord of Western Xia, he changed his strategy and sent envoys to sue for peace with the Song Dynasty.

Song Zhenzong, who had just signed the "Lanyuan Alliance" with Liao, desperately hoped that the situation in the northwest would also be stabilized.

After negotiations, the two sides signed the "Jingde Peace Agreement" in the third year of Jingde.

The main content is: the Song Dynasty appointed Li Deming as the envoy of the Dingyan Army, named him the king of Xiping (the Liao State named him the lord of Daxia), and gave 10,000 taels of silver, 20,000 pieces of money, 10,000 horses of silk, and 20,000 catties of tea every year, and opened a field to carry out trade.

In the following 30 years, the Song and Xia basically maintained peaceful and good-neighborly relations.

During the reign of Li Deming, he implemented the policy of "expanding westward according to Liao and Song" - he sent his son Li Yuanhao to lead his troops westward, eliminating the Uighurs in Ganzhou (later Zhangye, Gansu), and plundering Guazhou (later Andong, Gansu) and Shazhou (later Dunhuangdong, Gansu), and his forces reached Yumen Pass, controlling the entire Hexi Corridor.

After two generations of painstaking management, Western Xia has already possessed considerable strength.

Therefore, after Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne, he actively prepared to break away from the Song Dynasty and become independent.

In the fifth year of Song Renzong's Jingyou, Li Yuanhao was called the emperor, and the capital was Xingqing Mansion (later Yinchuan, Ningxia), and the founding name was Daxia.

Li Yuanhao wrote a letter to the Song court, hoping to be recognized, but Song Renzong sternly refused.

Song Renzong issued an edict to cut off his officials and offer a reward for his capture: if anyone can kill Li Yuanhao, he will be the envoy of the military festival.

After that, the three-year-long Song-Xia War broke out.

There were three main battles in this war.

World War I Sanchuankou (the location is northwest of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province in later generations).

In this battle, the Xia army surrounded Yanzhou (later Yan'an, Shaanxi), adopted the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, with 100,000 people, the Song Dynasty less than 10,000 reinforcements surrounded in Sanchuankou, and the two members of the Song army were captured alive.

World War II Haoshuichuan (the location is Longde, Ningxia in later generations).

In this battle, the Xia army adopted the tactics of luring the enemy to gather deep and annihilate it, set up an ambush in Haoshuichuan, and the 100,000 army surrounded the 18,000 pursuers of the Song army, and the Song army was almost completely annihilated.

Three battles of Dingchuan Village (later Ningxia Guyuan northwest).

This was an encounter, the Xia army with 50,000 superior forces, surrounded the Song army of less than 10,000 people in Dingchuan Village, and sixteen Song generals died heroically.

The history of these three wars is known as the "three defeats of Zhenrong".

The three defeats of Zhenrong shocked the Song Dynasty, and the prime minister at the time, Lu Yijian, lamented: "A war is not as good as a war, but it is appalling!" ”

From then on, the Song Dynasty no longer dared to go on the offensive and concentrated on holding on to its territory.

At that time, although the Western Xia won three wars, it was also greatly damaged, the treasury was empty, and the people were struggling to make a living.

In addition, relations between Western Xia and the Liao State deteriorated at that time.

Li Yuanhao then sent people to sue for peace with the Song Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Qingli, Song and Xia reached a peace agreement: Western Xia canceled the emperor's title, declared himself a minister to Song, and the Song Dynasty canonized Li Yuanhao as the lord of Xia; The Song Dynasty gave Xia 72,000 taels of silver, 153,000 horses of silk, and 30,000 catties of tea every year; reopening the market and so on.

In the decades that followed, the Song-Xia border was largely peaceful.

After Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne, he appointed Wang Anshi to change the law to become strong, and he worked hard to make the snow a shame for several generations.

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, there was a turmoil in the internal affairs of Western Xia, and Song Shenzong thought that the opportunity to capture Western Xia had come, so he launched a five-way army of more than 300,000 horses, and went out heroically, and went hand in hand, wanting to meet Lingzhou (later Ningxia Lingwu), trying to destroy Xia in one fell swoop.

It is known as the Battle of Lingzhou in history.

In that battle, the Xia army adopted the strategy and tactics of clearing the wilderness, penetrating the enemy, and first getting tired and then attacking.

Therefore, the Song army began to march quite smoothly, running long distances and advancing more than 2,000 miles.

However, later, due to the lack of food and grass, the Song army retreated, and the success fell short.

In the second year, Song Shenzong launched an attack on Western Xia, and as a result, the battle of Yongle City (also known as Yinchuan Qi, later in the west of Mizhi County, Shaanxi) was even more tragic, with the loss of more than 10,000 elite soldiers and more than 200 generals.

When Song Shenzong heard the news of the defeat, he wept and grieved and indignant, and did not eat for it.

The two major defeats made Song Shenzong's dream of destroying the Western Xia come to naught, which hit him hard, and he died of grief less than three years later, at the age of thirty-eight.

After Song Zhezong came to power, he adopted the new party constitution as the prime minister, adopted a tough pioneering posture against the Western Xia, and adopted the active strategy and tactics of "shallow attack and hard work".

In the first year of Yuanfu, in the battle of Pingxia City, the Xia army of 300,000 invading soldiers was defeated, and the commander-in-chief of the Xia army, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, was almost captured.

Since then, the Song army has basically controlled the area of Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain.

In December of the second year of Yuan Fu, the Western Xia swore an oath to sue for peace, and the Liao State also sent envoys to mediate, and the Song Dynasty was forced to agree to peace due to the situation at that time.

Since then, the Song-Xia War has temporarily subsided.

After Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he enabled Cai Jing to change the law as the prime minister, and sent Wang Hou and Tong Guan to lead the army west to conquer Qingtang Qiang and regain the lost territory, and the Song army pointed directly at Qinghai Lake.

This caused panic in Western Xia.

Western Xia hurriedly sent troops to attack the important town of Huizhou (later Jingyuan, Gansu).

Liu Fa led his army to meet the enemy and defeated the Xia army.

The contradictions between Song and Xia quickly intensified, and they began to compete for the Hengshan area.

At that time, the Song Dynasty adopted the strategy and tactics of "building fortresses and taking them step by step", while the Western Xia Dynasty was-for-tat, building cities and guarding the danger and not giving up an inch of land.

In the face of the encroachment of the Song army, the Western Xia panicked, because if this trend continued, the Western Xia would undoubtedly perish, so the Western Xia hurriedly asked the Liao State to mediate.

Emperor Tianzuo then sent an envoy to exert pressure on the Song Dynasty and asked for the return of the lost land on behalf of the Western Xia, and the Western Xia also apologized for their crimes, and the words were extremely deferential.

Zhao Ji then agreed to return the newly occupied land since Chongning.

Song Xia discussed and dismissed the army.

Twelve years ago, Huanzhou (later Huanxian County, Gansu) Dingyuan Village leader Li Yanqian betrayed the Song Dynasty, wrote a secret letter to the Western Xia army Liang Duo, inviting him to send troops into the Song Dynasty to loot grain and grass, the Xia army secretly invaded, besieged Dingyuan Village for 25 days, and was very arrogant.

Zhao Ji ordered Tong Guan to lead the troops into battle.

Tong Guan ordered to come to the Northwest Front and immediately make arrangements to launch a counterattack against Western Xia.

Soon, Liu Fa led 150,000 cavalry out of Huangzhou (later Qinghai Ledunan), Qin Feng made Liu Zhongwu lead 50,000 infantry out of Huizhou, and Tong Guan led the Chinese army to Lanzhou to respond to the two armies.

Liu Zhongwu went to the Qingshui River to build a city, left troops to defend it, and Liu Fa fought a fierce battle with the Xia army in the ancient bone dragon (north of the eastern capital of Qinghai), beheaded the enemy's first 3,000 ranks, and won a complete victory.

The arrogance of Western Xia was beaten down.

After that, the Song army began to encroach on Western Xia again.

Seven years ago, that is, in the first year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan took the seed master Dao and Liu Zhongwu as generals, and led the soldiers and horses of Yan Yan and Huanqing out of Xiaoguan and attacked Hengshan.

The Western Xia army was defeated, the field elite was annihilated, and Hengshan was completely captured by the Song army.

The seeds planted by Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Li Xian and Zhang Qi were finally picked by Tong Guan during the Huizong Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty's Hengshan Raiders were a perfect success.

This decades-long strategic evolution, each improvement was an adjustment and correction made by the Song army after paying a heavy price, and in the end it also proved that the Hengshan strategy after continuous improvement was a devastating blow again and again for the Western Xia.

After the defeat of Xuanhe, the Western Xia was already on the verge of extinction - although the core area of the Western Xia at that time Lingxia and other places were not lost, but the loss of Hengshan had completely made the Western Xia completely lose its geographical advantage and strategic initiative, and the Song army, which could be attacked and defended, only needed to increase its strength to enter Xingqing Mansion and destroy the Western Xia.

Pity!

At that time, the Song Dynasty, which was emptied by the arrogant and lascivious Zhao Ji, was in internal chaos, and the Song Dynasty had to transfer the Western Army, which was preparing to recover the Western Xia, to quell the rebellion.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ji, who was so happy, launched the Battle of Yanyun again, and the Western Army went north again.

This made Western Xia, who was on the verge of extinction, breathe a big sigh of relief.

Next, the Jin people went south and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.

Western Xia took this opportunity to recover most of the Hengshan area, and resurrected it with full blood.

Just when the Western Xia was about to take advantage of the Song and Jin wars that could not take care of it, they marched eastward and broke the confinement that had trapped the Western Xia for hundreds of years, Dazhong was born, and then defeated the invincible Jin army with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, recovering the territory that the Jin people snatched from the Song Dynasty, so that the Western Xia people were shocked to drop their jaws!

After Li Qianshun discussed with a group of high-level officials in Western Xia, he always believed that Dazhong was more fierce than Dajin, and he was invincible, and the enemy would die, so the matter of Western Xia's eastward advance was temporarily stopped, and then he should temporarily compromise and seek perfection, and boil Li Yan, the male lord, to death, to see how the next emperor of Dazhong will be, and then try to expand.

Therefore, Li Qianshun immediately sent a request to Dazhong as an envoy, and after Dazhong agreed, he hurriedly sent an envoy to Bianliang City, Tokyo, to congratulate Li Yan on the establishment of the Dazhong Empire......
