Chapter Forty-Eight: Yuan Haotang, Imperial State

Under the nine heavens, between the blue sky and white clouds, a white dove soared through the sky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In its eyes, I don't know how many times this time it has gone from east to west and from west to east. It's just that to its messiness, there is a quiet and peaceful scene to the west. To the east, there was wolf smoke and war.

Of course, it will never understand that the white dove with an olive branch is a symbol of peace, and it is an intelligence tool for war killing.

If the white pigeon has knowledge, it must not bear to be a tool for killing.

In ancient times, Jiankang, many dynasties and ancient capitals, extremely prosperous, in the Great Song Dynasty, the most prosperous place in the north is Bianjing, and Jiankang in Southeast and South Africa is the only one. When Jiankang was at its most prosperous, its population was comparable to that of Bianjing, and it could reach 300,000.

And now, as far as the eye can see, there is a ruined wall, a scene of depression and slaughter, and wolf smoke rises in the city.

Shenggong Fangla, the people thought that they were gods, Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others were tyrannical to the court, and even more Xinghuashigang, the southeast dawn was miserable, and they expected that the Fangla uprising could take them away from the sea of suffering, but they never thought that this was another expedition.

Since the Holy Prince's army was raised, millions of people have been attached, but the name of the people who have joined is the army, but in fact, they have attacked the city and plundered the land, killed the people, and plundered the place. The population of Jiankang alone has plummeted from 300,000 at the beginning to 100,000.

Fang La was killed, and the officers and soldiers did not resist, so they had to be healthy. After entering Jiankang, it was the time for Fang La's righteous army to vent everywhere he wanted. No one stops it, no one restrains it, and it is a hundred times more hateful than Cai Jing and Gao Yu.

A man dressed in a red robe, with an accessory and a dagger around his waist, and his hair loose, walked through the crowd surrounded by a group of men in red robes and armor.

The places passed were shocking, and what Fang La's righteous army did was outrageous. The red-robed man clenched his fists vigorously, his bones clattering.

Since the rebels of Fang La invaded Jiankang, they have done all kinds of evil, so that the streets of Jiankang are full of homeless refugees.

The ragged women and children looked with great horror at everyone who passed by, because those who passed by had weapons around their waists.

"Captain! I didn't expect that Fang La's rebel army was like this everywhere it passed. But the history books of later generations do not mention a word! One of the guards beside the red-robed man sighed.

Listening to the tone of these two people, the red-robed man was the master of the Western Xia Yuanhao Hall, Li Qianming, the king of Western Xia Wei.

Li Qianming looked up to the sky and sighed, his eyes were full of tears, no wonder this rebel army could not escape the fate of destruction in the face of the decaying and declining Northern Song Dynasty.

"There are few villages in a thousand villages... The people are safe, fill the ravines. The soldiers are safe, and the anointing is sharp. Li Qianming muttered.

The guards behind were a total of seven people, all of whom were his cronies, in other words, seven comrades-in-arms who crossed over with him. No one can shake their friendship.

The whole thing may be a mistake in itself, clarifying the universe An Lishu. The establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty only ended the strife and chaos in the Central Plains of the Yangtze River and Yellow River Valley. The Song Dynasty was not a unified dynasty in the true sense of the word, and his rule did not involve Hexi, the Western Regions, Yanyun, Liaodong, or the depths of the desert.

However, it was not until more than 150 years later that the great unified dynasty that could truly unify China existed.

But he could not wait that long, China would continue to be in conflict for another hundred and fifty years, even if the later Great Yuan Dynasty unified China, and even if China ended the century-long strife, China would continue to accept the nightmarish rule of the Mongols for a hundred years.

And he has no other way now, since the crossing is the Western Xia royal family. But fortunately, the skills and abilities of the later generations have not been lost.

Went to a military academy, with his military talent and familiarity with history, he was promoted to the king of Western Xia Wei, and his familiarity with special warfare intelligence work made the Western Xia emperor's personal guard Yuan Haotang his subordinate.

Working together, he and his seven comrades-in-arms traveled to the Central Plains and became the leader of the Imperial State, one of the three major alliances in the Central Plains.

Western Xia destroyed the Song Dynasty, greed was not enough to swallow elephants, why didn't he understand. Everything has to wait until the civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty to find an opportunity.

As a result, Fang La rebelled, and he secretly instigated the alliance to fan the flames to help Fang La eliminate the official army, capture the state capital, and reach an agreement with Fang La, the south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains of the Great Song Dynasty belonged to Fang La, and the north belonged to the imperial state and the territory of Western Xia.

Everything went according to plan, only now he regretted it, and what Fang Lajun did made him heartbroken.

Jiankang Mansion is the location of the helmsman of the Imperial Prefecture, and the Fang La army dares to loot it like this, and it is even more difficult to guarantee what they will do in the future.

But now, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and the arrow is on the string, there is no other way, and there must be bloodshed and sacrifice in order to achieve great things. I only hope that the Xixia party and the Xiang clan can live up to his sustenance.

Like Li Qianming, the seven people who traveled with him were all party members in later generations and were deeply educated in patriotism. As a result, even after they crossed over to Western Xia, they still tried every possible way to unify the country. However, the country they loved was not Western Xia but China. They were not Han nationalists, so in their view, it was not important for either the Han or the Tangut to completely unify China, because even the Tangut Dangxiang were the ancestors of the later Qiang.

However, seeing the people of the country being so ravaged has an indescribable feeling in my heart, perhaps I am helping to abuse it.

But now the captain Li Qianming is their superior, and they firmly believe that Li Qianming still firmly believes in his ideals and beliefs, and he has his own opinions. Therefore, it is only time to be patient, and it is not too late to completely exterminate Fang La's party after the Western Xia occupies the northern part of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, I saw a person in red armor in front of Li Qianming running quickly, ran to Li Qianming, saluted, handed over a wax pill, and whispered: "Report to the alliance leader, there is a letter from my hometown in the west!" ”

Walking into a corner where no one was around, Li Qianming opened the wax pill and read the wax pill letter in detail, his face was full of gloom, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

"Alliance leader, what's wrong?" One of the seven people saw that Li Qianming's face was wrong, and that there were outsiders present, so he immediately changed his name and asked.

After Li Qianming retreated the messenger, he looked around and made sure that there was no one, and said: "The Jin king Chage sent a letter saying that the Uighurs of Gaochang in the northwest took advantage of the Western Xia gathering a large army to confront the Song Dynasty, and sent an army to attack the Yumen Pass in the northwest border of the Western Xia, and threatened to occupy Dunhuang, Ganzhou (now Zhangye, Gansu) and Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu) within two months. Let's go back now. ”

The seven of them took a breath of cool air, which was simply falling into the well.

"But I just received a message from Ezhou Flying Pigeon last night, and Liu Yanqing's troops have begun to attack Jiankang! If Liu Yanqing's troops were not repulsed, the civil strife in the Song Dynasty would be put down sooner or later, so when would the reunification of China wait? Don't go wrong at this juncture! The man said.

Li Qianming shook his head and said with a smile: "Yang Xiao, you immediately reply to Brother Cha, just say that it is too early to attack the Great Song Dynasty in an all-out way, and while maintaining strong military pressure on the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, you can send troops to Yumen Pass to resist Gaochang's attack." Zhou Hong, you go to the Imperial Prefecture Helm to inform the elders of the Imperial Prefecture, the branch hall masters, everything is going according to plan! ”

The two took the order and left. The remaining five people accompanied Li Qianming to continue to wander around the city.

"Liu An. If I'm not mistaken, your hometown is Nanjing! Walking on the street, Li Qianming remembered the events of the later life, and asked one of the five people.

The man named Liu An nodded and said, "Yes, this is here, but there is really a big difference between this place and Nanjing, after all, the ancient buildings and the outline of the old city left in Nanjing are all left over from the Ming Dynasty, and this is still the Song Dynasty." ”

Li Qianming laughed and said: "We rarely come to this place, if Jiankang is rebuilt in the future, and the people return to their homes, I don't know if they can find the food of your hometown Nanjing on the streets of Jiankang." ”

"The general helm of the Imperial State is Jiankang Mansion, Jiankang Mansion is a famous metropolis in the world, not to mention that Nanjing is close to Huaibei, and even the food of Liaodong and the Western Regions can be found here, and the dignified Emperor State Alliance Lord is a bit derelict in his duties!" Just as Li Qianming and Liu An were talking, they saw a person suddenly flash out in front of them, holding a bamboo fan, wearing green clothes, and with a graceful demeanor, like a rich son. The interjection interrupted Li Qianming's words.

This person's words made Li Qianming and the others speechless, we are obviously talking about Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province in the future, but you are now talking about Nanjing Yingtianfu, and the topic is not on the same channel at all. However, those who do not know are not guilty, and they are too lazy to explain much with him.

"It turned out to be Tang Qiuyan, the leader of the Water Dragon Yin Alliance!" Recognizing this person at a glance, Li Qianming stepped forward and saluted.
