Chapter 597: Liu Yanqing is a God and a Man (Page 1/1)

Although the Heian period is not as familiar as the Warring States period of Japan, which was full of smoke and swords, there are actually many works in which the story takes place in or is based on the Heian period in later Japanese anime works.

For example, Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji", Kiyo Shao Nayan's "Pillow Grass", the invincible supernatural power of the great onmyoji Abe Harumi, and the god of learning, Sugawara Michizane's bleak and sad wish.

In literary works, the soft-spoken amorous nobles, the shy and beautiful deep resentful women, the intelligent and cunning female poetesses, the white beat dancers who sing and dance, the serious and rigid middle-aged monks, and the demons and monsters that haunt at midnight seem to prove that this is a refined and beautiful era, but in fact it is not.

The island country of the Heian period was smaller than that of later generations.

Hokkaido Island is the domain of the indigenous Ezo people, the old indigenous people of Honshu Island are divided and self-governed, and the Ryukyu Island in the southwest is still an ignorant and uncivilized wilderness, and the southern part of Kyushu Island is also infested with wild people.

Not to mention those wild places, even most of the places under the rule of the Yamato Imperial Court are still in a state of vast and sparsely populated, slash-and-burn farming, and wild beasts, and in many places there is not even a slightly similar city, and the living standards of the people in the island countries are not even as good as the serfs in the European Middle Ages.

In fact, the island country is so backward because its civilization was born too late.

The island civilization was born in the 2nd century AD, and the current Yamato Imperial Court did not take shape until around the 6th century, and the Heian period began in the 9th century.

Although the island country imported a lot of culture from its neighbors, especially from the Central Plains Celestial Empire in the west, it was also difficult to directly enter the feudal society from the primitive tribes that cultivated slash-and-burn and drank blood.

Nowadays, the poor food culture, terrifying makeup methods, and masochistic dressing habits of the island people make Li Nan not have much interest in him.

All the gifts that Fujiwara Yukiri brought, except for the katana, which can be used as a collector's item, are all useless things, that is, those silver ingots are still of some value.

After deliberation among the ministers, Fujiwara Yukiri signed the Treaty of Guicheng on behalf of his father, the regent Sekihaku, and the imperial minister Fujiwara

The treaty stipulates that the Jinnan Kingdom will send a naval force of 3,000 men to help the Fujiwara family quell the civil strife, and the garrison will rotate every two years, and their supply and remuneration will be all taken care of by the Fujiwara family. Zhennanguo would regularly escort delivery ships with warships to buy sulphur ore and deliver ammunition to the soldiers. The two countries also concluded a trade under which the government of the island nation, represented by the Fujiwara family, exchanged minerals such as sulfur and silver produced in the country for copper coins and other daily necessities.

Li Nan received envoys from various countries in the city of Guizhou and enjoyed a tormented newlywed life, but the Song Kingdom in the north began the second Northern Expedition after learning the news of the death of the Northern Liao Emperor Yeluchun.

In fact, during the first Northern Expedition of the Song Kingdom, the Liao State was defeated militarily, and most of the land was occupied by the Jin State.

At that time, as long as the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty could deal with it calmly and fight steadily and steadily, the 150,000 troops led by Tong Guan could drag the Northern Liao, which lacked soldiers and horses, even if it was delayed.

However, today's Song State is no longer the country where there were many famous ministers in the past, whether it is Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who is more artistic, or those henchmen around him who have a strong ability to accumulate money and greedy for money, they are not good at handling political affairs and military affairs.

The Northern Liao Emperor Yeluchun died of illness, and Empress Xiao took power.

Zhao Ji, Huizong, who learned the news, wanted to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun and revived, rejected the request for peace from the orphans and widows of Northern Liao, and hurriedly ordered the 100,000 Song troops who had just been defeated to return to the north to attack Yanyun again.

The Second Northern Expedition of the Song State began very smoothly, not because Liu Yanqing's command ability was higher than that of the Seed Master, nor because Tong Guan had learned the lessons of the previous defeat and improved, but because the situation in the Liao State had been eroded beyond control.

Lev. Leo Tolstoy once said, "Happy families are all alike, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes."

This sentence is placed in the words of Song and Liao, and it becomes "Ming Jun is similar, but Duan Jun has his own flaws." ”

Song and Liao have been entangled in love and hate for so many years, and they have formed a brotherly alliance, but I didn't expect that in the end, the kings of the two countries are also like brothers, and they are surprisingly mediocre.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji does not need to say much, a minister of the Yuan Dynasty once commented on him: "Everything can be done, but you can't be the king's ear!" ”

This sentence later became the most standard evaluation to describe Zhao Ji's life.

Zhao Ji is a very outstanding artist, he is excellent in both calligraphy and painting, and in later generations he was at least a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts or the Department of Literature of Peking University, but he was born in the wrong era, but he became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition to Emperor Huizong of the Song State, the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao State is also a wonder.

Emperor Tianzuo did not have as many hobbies as his Song brother Zhao Ji, he only liked hunting.

When the Jurchens began to rebel, Emperor Tianzuo was hunting; The Jurchens established the Kingdom of Jin, and Emperor Tianzuo was hunting; The Jin army captured Huanglong Mansion, and Emperor Tianzuo was hunting; The army of the Jin State occupied Shangjing of the Liao State, and Emperor Tianzuo did not forget to hunt after returning from the defeat, so it can be said that this is an emperor who loves hunting to the bones.

In this kind of competition between Song and Liao, because Jin mainly attacked Liao, Song won.

When the imperial tent army of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao was defeated by the Jin soldiers again, and the 100,000 troops of the Song army also attacked again, the entire Nanjing Province began to panic, and the looming national contradictions between the Khitans and the Han people also intensified.

The Khitans suspected that the Han people were going to deviate from Germany at this time, and the Han people heard that the Khitans wanted to seek themselves, and in this situation of mutual suspicion, a large number of Han officials and soldiers began to take the initiative to surrender to the Song army.

Zhuozhou defender Guo Yaoshi took the lead in surrendering with his Changsheng army, and then the Yizhou defender also surrendered to the Song army, and the Song army obtained the land of Liangzhou without blood.

Just when Huizong Zhao Ji learned the news, the joy in his heart had not yet dissipated, and the latest news came from Yanyun: The 100,000 Song army has been defeated again!

When Li Nan got the latest battle report, he couldn't help but praise: "Liu Yanqing is really a god!" ”

Hearing this, the little demon Tyrion sitting at the conference table asked with a look of surprise: "This Liu Yanqing has been defeated so miserably, why did the prince say this?" ”

Li Nan turned around and pointed to the large map hanging in the conference room, and sighed: "Liu Yanqing led 100,000 Song troops, and there are Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun who are familiar with the terrain of Nanjing, and this can be defeated by the Liao general Xiao Gan with less than 10,000 soldiers, what a rare thing is this?" ”

"Hahaha......" Hearing Li Nan's mocking words, everyone at the table burst out laughing.
