It all started more than 130 years ago......

At that time, Zhao Guangyi poisoned his second brother Zhao Kuangyin, killed the monarch and usurped the throne, and bought people's hearts to stabilize the court with a large number of official positions, so he immediately couldn't wait to lead an army of 800,000 to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty, and then the Northern Expedition to recover Yanyun, so as to surpass his brother Zhao Kuangyin in military merits, so as to establish prestige in the army and stabilize the regime.

However, Taiyuan City, as the Beijing of the Tang Dynasty (Tang Xijing Chang'an, Eastern Capital Luoyang, Beijing Taiyuan), was built extremely tall and strong, Zhao Guangyi for more than three months without day and night continuous siege of the city killed and wounded no less than 300,000 people, but still could not shake the Taiyuan City.

In the end, all the periphery of Taiyuan City was captured, and the reinforcements of the Liao State were repulsed, and the Taiyuan City was difficult to defend alone, and the ammunition was exhausted, and the Northern Han Emperor went out of the city to surrender.

At this point, the Northern Han Dynasty perished, and the last small dynasty divided by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was eliminated, and once again formally unified the whole country, and Zhao Guangyi was also meritorious.

But for various reasons, one is that Jinyang (Taiyuan) City is too strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Song army attacked Jinyang as a result of losing troops and heavy losses, so Zhao Guangyi decided to completely destroy Taiyuan City to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Then there is Taiyuan known as the Dragon City, Li Tang is from Jinyang to seize the world, the five dynasties of the former Jin, the Later Tang Dynasty and other regimes are based on Jinyang to compete for the world or to contend with the Central Plains Dynasty; And Taoism believes that the Song Dynasty belongs to the "Shang Star Division", and Taiyuan is the "Shen Xing Division", since ancient times, the Shang did not meet, once the Central Plains regime weakened, Taiyuan will be the first to rebel.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi decided to destroy Taiyuan City, and first let the residents move to the new city in Fenshui East...... Without waiting for all the people to leave the city (there must be people who are unwilling to move out of their homeland), Zhao Guangyi ordered to set fire, "all the torches are fired, the palaces and temples are all gone, and the houses are all over in one day", "all the houses are burned, the people of the old and the young are not in time for the city gate, and the people are burned to death."

This is not the end, the next year the Song army blocked the Fenshui and Jin Temple water and poured it into Taiyuan. The ancient Taiyuan city was burned and irrigated by water, and became a ruin. In the past, it was known as the "splendid Taiyuan City", and the metropolis that has been more than 1,000 years old no longer exists.

What's more, the ancestral tombs and ancestral halls of the Jin people were also destroyed in this catastrophe.

This contradiction has risen to the point of irreconcilability; although there were many civil wars in China in the past, they were all for the sake of fighting for the right and for the reunification of China, and although the war was inevitable to be killed or wounded, it was never done in such a way after winning the war.

The relatives of the Jin people died in the Song Dynasty, and the ancestral land and ancestral property were also destroyed by a fire and then flooded, so that they did not even have a chance to rebuild.

The Chinese people attach the most importance to their hometown, respect their ancestors the most, destroy the land of their ancestors, destroy people's ancestral graves and ancestral ancestral shrines, and this hatred is not shared.

Since then, the descendants of these Jin people, as well as the northern Han people whose ancestral land is in Taiyuan, have not shared the sky with the Zhao and Song dynasties, which is why the Song Dynasty has never been able to take the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Liao State cannot be defeated, and even the northern Han people have destroyed the country and died in the end.

The people of this era, in fact, do not have too many national concepts, but more clan concepts, because of what Zhao Guangyi did, these people in the north of the Han people, especially the descendants of the Jin people, have always disagreed with the legitimate status of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and they can't wait for the old Zhao family to die, even if it is to be a lackey for foreigners.

This is also an important reason why no matter the Liao, Jurchen, or Mongolia, there are a large number of Han generals and Han soldiers, and these northern Han people have worked very hard to fight the Song Dynasty.

It is said that the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, but who knows that the main force that destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, whether it was the Battle of Xiangyang or the Battle of Yashan, was the army of the Han people in the north!

In fact, if you know a little bit about history and think about it carefully, you can understand that the land of Yan Zhao has been full of generous and tragic people since ancient times, everyone is martial, and they have been professional households since ancient times.

Let's not talk about the Han and Tang dynasties, let's just say that during the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the warlords were divided and fought endlessly, but the former Jin, Later Tang, and Later Han regimes were able to resist the invasion of Hulu in the north by themselves.

At the beginning of the fifth dynasty, the Khitan Yelu Abaoji twice went south with an army of 300,000 people, and the result was a big defeat and heavy losses, and Huma did not dare to go south for decades.

Later, relying on Shi Jingjiao successively, he sent Yanyun to the sixteen states to become the emperor; Du Chongwei followed Shi Jingjiao's example of betraying the country to seek glory and also wanted to be the emperor, and led an army of 200,000 to surrender to the Khitan, but the Khitan broke through Bianliang without much effort and perished the Later Jin.

Yelu Deguang ascended the throne in the Bianliang Imperial Palace, intending to occupy it for a long time and become the emperor of the Central Plains, but the situation at that time was far more sinister than when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens (the short-lived dynasty of the Later Jin Dynasty lacked background, and the Khitan at that time was far more powerful than the Jin State that had just risen for less than two years).

But the Liao State (the name of the country that was changed after occupying Bianliang) could only withdraw from the Central Plains in embarrassment, and even their chieftain Yelu Deguang was also worried because of the constant attacks of the rebel army, and died violently in killing Hu Lin, and was made into a diqi (dried bacon corpse).

However, the Jin State could slowly escort the Second Emperor of Huiqin, as well as a large number of more than 3,000 people from the Zhao royal family, harem concubines, Guiqing, courtiers, etc., as well as countless treasures, materials, books, etc., to return to the North, and then occupied the Central Plains for a long time.

The only difference between the two is that after Yelu Deguang occupied Bianliang, he was met with stubborn resistance from the civil forces in the north, and the vast number of people in the Central Plains rebelled, most tens of thousands, and some small ones were not hundreds or thousands, attacking the Khitan army everywhere and killing the officials appointed by the Khitan.

After the Jurchen destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, although many of the common people rebelled because of the Jurchen soldiers' burning, killing and looting, most of them were for self-protection and revenge for their relatives, but at the same time, many took the initiative to join the Jurchens to help fight the Song Dynasty.

The original northern Han people, no matter how their own people fought each other, but when foreign tribes came, they would rise up and resist and refuse to cooperate with the Hu people; But all this was completely changed because of Zhao Guangyi's fire and a big flood.

It can be said that it was Zhao Guangyi who tore the northern Han people apart.

Li Chengcheng is in this situation, his ancestors were the Jin people who fled at the beginning, so he was born with hatred for Zhao Song, but he was unwilling to ask him to take refuge in the Liao State, so as soon as he heard that the Liangshan army raised troops against the Song Dynasty and recruited talents, he immediately flew horses to vote.

The same inscription was also taken by Shi Xiu, Yang Lin, Meng Kang, and Li Tianyou to Lianghuai, Jiangnan and other places, preparing to post and distribute them in the places where Lianghuai was most affected by Yang Jian's expansion of fields and Jiangnan was most affected by Huashigang.

Because the end of the text is to bitterly Chen Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Zhu Mian and other traitorous ministers, and at the same time hold high the banner of justice for the heavens, protect the territory and the people, and uphold the banner of justice for the people, recruit heroes from all over the world, and gather together for the righteousness.

I believe that it won't be long before the folk heroes who are dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Zhao and Song dynasties, especially many of the heroes in the original Water Margin story, will hear the news.

However, he said that Lin Chong had returned to Liangshan and began to build a castle and a big market around the lake, and at the same time continued to train intensively, and he was very busy.

On the other side, the big sword Guan Sheng and Jing Mu Qian, who led more than 20,000 troops to conquer the Liangshan army, were caught off guard by this sudden change and were in a dilemma.
