Chapter 70: Step by step

In ancient Chinese history, anyone who could become an emperor through dishonorable means was not a person with wine bags and rice bags. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For example, the Northern Wei Ming Yuan Emperor Tuoba heir, he is the son of the Northern Wei Daowu Emperor Tuoba Gui, in 408 AD, Tuoba Gui was killed by his son Tuoba Shao, Tuoba Si in the palace guards under the support of the clever murder of his eldest brother Tuoba Shao, and successfully succeeded to the throne.

After he succeeded to the throne, he inherited the martial arts of the founding monarch Tuoba Gui, and the Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Shou destroyed the northern countries and unified the north, becoming the first Taoist monarch in history to inherit the past and the future.

The second more famous is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, later generations only saw Li Shimin appointed virtuous and virtuous, humbly accepted advice, carried out a series of political and military reforms, and finally achieved social stability, production and development of the Zhenguan governance.

But everyone selectively ignored what Li Shimin did at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, shot the eldest brother to death, killed the second brother with a sword, and forced his father down from the chair for the throne, which was simply a disobedience to the three outlines and five constants.

Finally, there is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Zhu Di was born in Yingtian, current affairs, and was named the king of Yan, and then launched the battle of Jingyan, and attacked his nephew Emperor Jianwen and seized the throne.

After he ascended the throne, he constantly improved the political system of the Ming Dynasty, developed the economy, opened up the territory, moved the capital to Beijing, edited the "Yongle Grand Canon", and sent Zheng He to the West, so that the Ming Dynasty developed to the peak, and the reign of Ming Chengzu was called 'Yongle Shengshi', and Ming Chengzu was also called Yongle Emperor or Yongle Emperor by later generations.

Through the above usurpers of power, it can be seen that those who ascended to the throne by means do have the ability to govern the country, and they have used dishonorable means to sit in high positions either because they are forced to do so or because they themselves pursue power.

But after they sat on the throne of the emperor, they did govern the entire country well, which shows that their own ability is already very high.

You must know that in ancient society, the emperor's literacy and ability were almost equal to a country's literacy and ability.

As Zhao Guangyi, who secretly killed the eldest brother, he can still do this thing unknowingly, and it will become a mystery in later generations, his ability to plot and forbear is absolutely not a problem, but his military literacy is too poor, and he is too eager for quick success, so there are embarrassing events in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty's two failed Northern Expeditions.

However, only in terms of governing the country, Zhao Guangyi still has his own unique ability, not to mention history, just to say that now, Jiang Yin has distributed to the whole country half a year ago that Zhao Guangyi plotted to kill his eldest brother and usurp the throne, which is equivalent to telling the world that the current emperor is a rebel.

For a while, the people in the Great Song Dynasty were panicked, although it was unbelievable, but everyone had subconsciously tacitly acquiesced that Zhao Kuangyin was killed by Zhao Guangyi.

But even in this case, the people of the world still did not rise up to attack it, and the official institutions were still operating normally, although the scholars were also very troublesome at the beginning, but Zhao Guangyi withstood many difficulties and relied on his own strength to suppress the turbulent wind of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The officials are on duty normally, the people are farming normally, except for an era name that has been changed to Taiping Xingguo, the real country is really as if nothing has happened, which shows that Zhao Laoer's control ability is by no means covered.

Since Zhao Guangyi has been able to endure his eldest brother for sixteen years, sixteen years of dormancy, waiting for a ripe time to kill his eldest brother, it can be seen that he is definitely a super patient person.

He is like a poisonous snake dormant in the night, unmoved in the face of any temptation, only turning his head at the last moment, stretching out and biting the target he wants to kill.

Therefore, after the failure of the two Cangzhou bandits, Zhao Guangyi quickly calmed down, on the one hand, he gathered troops to prevent Jiang Yin from sending troops to counterattack, and on the other hand, he began to recruit troops on a large scale from all over the country.

The Liao State originally supported the Northern Han Dynasty, and they wanted to contain the Great Song Dynasty by controlling the Northern Han Dynasty, but now the Great Song Dynasty itself had internal problems first, and a regime called the New Song Dynasty jumped out in Cangzhou, and as a result, a country was established.

The Liao State originally wanted to show a wave of muscles, and then tame the New Song Kingdom like the Northern Han Dynasty, and then control the New Song Kingdom, and use two means to contain the Great Song Dynasty, but never expected that the idea of the New Song Dynasty was very strong, and after only one round, Yelu Huge's 30,000 army suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the New Song Kingdom.

This made the Liao State surprised and annoyed by the New Song Dynasty, but after thinking about it carefully, the Liao State felt that the emergence of the New Song Kingdom was a good thing for the Liao State.

In this world, as long as there is a war, there will be casualties, there will be attrition, the more brutal the fight, the more the national strength will be lost, and the more powerful the new Song Dynasty is now, the more cruel the war between the Great Song and the New Song Dynasty will be in the future.

So under this kind of psychology, the Liao State adopted an attitude of ignoring the New Song Dynasty, and for the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State also secretly rejoiced in the righteous words and sent the envoy back: It will never take advantage of the danger of people to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

So in this delicate relationship between the three countries, the chess pieces laid out by Zhao Guangyi are also slowly unfolding.

In March, Zhao Guangyi dispatched troops into Liaozhou and Shizhou, in April, the mobilization of grain and grass has entered the border fortress, and in May, the transfer of troops to the border of the Northern Han Dynasty, at this time, everyone in the world saw that Zhao Guangyi was gearing up to destroy the new Song Kingdom, but no one noticed Zhao Guangyi's real intentions.

In June, when the high-yield crops of the New Song Kingdom were harvested, Zhao Guangyi dispatched a large army to attack the Northern Han Dynasty with lightning speed.

In the second year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, in June, Song Taizong ordered Cui Yanjin to recruit envoys for the North Road, and led Chen Nuowen and other troops to besiege Taiyuan. Liu Jiyuan, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, heard that the Northern Song Dynasty soldiers were pressing the border, and urgently sent an envoy to the Liao State for help.

On June 12, Cui Yanjin led his army to Taiyuan and gathered troops to besiege the city. On June 22, the Song soldiers went to the south of the city, surrendered again, and at the same time waved their troops to attack the city fiercely. Liu Jiyuan saw that the general trend had gone, and surrendered in the sixth day of the first month.

Since then, in just half a month, even as short as the institutions of the Liao State have not responded, the Northern Han Dynasty was recovered by Zhao Guangyi, and since then, if the New Song State is not counted, the Great Song Dynasty has finally completely ended the situation of all the divided countries of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and China has also been unified in a real sense.

However, the premise of everything is that the New Song Kingdom does not exist, but the reality is that the New Song Kingdom not only exists, but also occupies the land of the four states and counties in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and its life is thriving.

Of course, Zhao Guangyi did not allow this kind of thorn in the flesh to continue to develop, and after attacking the Northern Han Dynasty, he quickly locked on the New Song Kingdom as the next hunting target......
