Chapter 16, the anger of the Empress Dowager Xiao

Wu Dalang settled in Guo Hu instead of a merchant, and the Wang Po who opened the tea shop is a serious merchant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not only a merchant, but also a good merchant among the merchants who are taken care of by the policy.

The merchants who operate the tea industry are basically the darlings of fate and the pride of the times in this year. In the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong era, its popularity was valued and protected, second only to blue and white porcelain.

This is a fist commodity that generates taxes for the country. The tea industry has made a contribution of up to 4 million yuan to the finance of the Great Song Dynasty in a year! Of course, the Nanhai No. 1 and Nanhai No. 2 shipwreck tell the story of the more lucrative returns brought by the shipment of Great Song Dynasty porcelain overseas. Outwitted the birthday gang, a day rat, and brazenly peddled the village wine at the price of five yuan a barrel. This is an eye-poppingly high retail price, implying that alcohol is also a big tax producer.

Porcelain, tea, wine.

The most important source of wealth for the Great Song Empire.

Compared with the natural tribute attribute of the famous porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty, and compared with the national monopoly system implemented by the Song Dynasty for the retail sale of liquor, porcelain, tea, and wine, only the tea seller is the easiest to obtain the official road guide and the corresponding various licenses.

It is said that the first year of Zhenghe was a year of reform and innovation in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, which was full of reform and passion.

Just kidding, the emperor of the feudal imperial era, that is not just a casual change of the imperial year name. Generally speaking, it is a new military or political and economic policy of great significance, or some very remarkable auspicious omen, that triggers the change of the era name. After all, from the perspective of the ancient emperors and ministers, the new era name symbolizes the beginning of a new era.

This political and first year does have a little bit of a new era and new atmosphere.

In this year, a significant change in the direction of military strategy, a new idea for far-reaching reform of the political system, a new policy involving major economic reform, and even auspicious weather fell from the sky. Not only that, this year also happened to have a huge leap forward in the social productive forces, and there was a new breakthrough in the field of production technology that is destined to go down in history forever.

If it weren't for the faint king's preference for traitorous ministers, and if it weren't for the traitorous ministers' greed and perversion of the law to mislead the country and the people, this first year of political peace, from the perspective of theoretical deduction, could really be a good beginning for a new era in the history of human civilization.

The major political change this year was that Song Huizong found several people in a row to personally inquire "What is Cai Jing?" Three of the four old ministers who were questioned said, "This is a traitor!" Kill it! The fourth person, who had the most polite evaluation of Cai Jing, didn't say anything good about Cai Jing, he said very implicitly: "Cai Jing, if he has the right heart, is a very capable prime minister." If the mind is not right, then OOXX. ”

In history, Song Huizong has never been a blind appointee who uses a traitorous face to turn into a faint king, in fact, Cai Jing dismissed the official four times and paid homage to the prime minister five times. Song Huizong played like this, obviously he was in love with Cai Jing's talent, but he also knew that this guy had a big problem with his mental skills.

Throughout his life, Zhao Ji suffered from difficulty in choosing between the dismissal of Cai Jing and his reinstatement, which was capricious and vacillating.

The first major event that happened in the first year of Zhenghe was that Cai Jing was dismissed.

Kuai Fei is an apprentice chef for migrant workers with little education, and he is not a student of history. The original Wu Dalang was also confused about the big things that happened in the DPRK, and he didn't know why at all. Kuai Fei couldn't get much useful information from the memories left by Wu Dalang.

If Kuai Fei's golden finger can call Baidu anytime and anywhere, at this time, he may be a little lustful and decisively put aside Pan Jinlian and hook up with Li Qingzhao.

In the process of Cai Jing's ups and downs, every time Cai Jing resigns, someone has to take over, right? The father of the man Li Qingzhao married, ahem, is actually her father-in-law, one of the cannon fodder prime ministers who once replaced Cai Jing, Zhao Tingzhi.

Cai Jing certainly took a helicopter up and down in the officialdom, and his political opponents certainly got on the roller coaster of officialdom without stopping. This made Prime Minister Zhao's son Zhao Mingcheng bitter, and his daughter-in-law Li Qingzhao even more bitter.

"Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind gathered, the heavy sleep did not kill the wine, and the questionnaire curtain was tried, but the begonias were still the same", this little yellow poem that has been passed down through the ages is a portrayal of the upside-down life of Sister Qingzhao of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao are husband and wife, and they have been busy moving all their lives. The father-in-law was promoted, and the family moved to Bianjing. My father-in-law got out of class, and the family moved back to his hometown in the countryside. In the most serious of them, Prime Minister Zhao's entire family was thrown into prison, and Zhao Mingcheng was also locked up. Li Qingzhao had no choice but to go back to his parents' house, and the situation was almost the same as being written a letter of resignation and becoming a little widow. Because Cai Jing wants to suppress Zhao Tingzhi, Li Qingzhao is a wonderful big killer.

Speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty is also as vindictive as Zhen Huan's biography. At that time, the reformist faction led by Wang Anshi was called the Xining Party. Later, the conservatives led by Sima Gang were called Yuanyou Party members. Huizong Zhao Ji and the traitor Cai Jing boasted of being unswerving pioneers of reform. Insist on killing and crippling all conservatives.

Song Huizong personally wrote the list of Yuanyou Party criminals, and took the stone as a monument to tell the world. Make all the people of the world hostile to those conservatives who bring disaster to the country and the people.

Zhao Tingzhi can replace Cai Jing on the throne, and he is of course also a reformist with a clear banner. However, Li Qingzhao's grandfather and father were notorious conservatives, and the ancestors of the Li family once served as prison envoys on Jingdong Road.

Tsk, this is the famous Great Song Dynasty Punishment Yamen. Unexpectedly, this talented female lyricist, Sister Qingzhao, turned out to be the daughter of the four famous arrests of the six doors!

In the days when conservative forces were rampant, Mrs. Li's hands were stained with the blood and tears of reformers. Of course, the Great Song Dynasty has a good tradition that has been praised by later generations, no matter how great the crime is, it will never kill Wenchen. Therefore, the term "stained with blood" refers to the flesh wounds tossed by the torture instruments during torture, not the taking of people's lives.

The Zhao and Li families were political enemies of each other, but they were connected with their sons and daughters. If Grandma Qiong Yao knew about this, she would definitely have to come up with a remake of the Great Song Dynasty with deep love and rain. This was originally an excellent romantic story, which deeply contained the enlightened values of a harmonious society where friends can still play happily despite political disagreements. It's just that this Cai Jing is a villain among villains, and he can't see any two-party-harmony-harmony in his eyes, so he sees a huge conspiracy and an undercover agent sent by the enemy. Therefore, Li Qing is miserable, young, and many times he is a widow. Her background will naturally become Cai Jing's weapon to attack the Zhao family. So Li Qingzhao had no choice but to go back to his parents' house, instead of sending Zhao Mingcheng to prison like an ordinary good wife.

This political and Cai Jing's resignation in the first year means that Hu Hansan can come back again. Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, a young couple, can get tired of being together happily again.

This is just that Kuai Fei doesn't know, if he learns history well and knows it in advance, with the urine of bird silk in the 21st century, he can't dig out his mind to dig the corner of Zhao Mingcheng's son! Sister Qingzhao, that's the head of the lonely spring boudoir jade girl!

The above is only the first major event in the first year of Zhenghe.

The second is auspicious. This year, a huge comet appeared in the sky, which was originally a bad omen. But Song Huizong activated a god stick cadre, and the day after the god stick cadre took office, the comet magically disappeared. The comet is also called the broom star, which means bad luck and indicates natural and man-made disasters. This year, Taihu Lake, located in the south of the Yangtze River, really had an incredible freezing phenomenon, which was not only an extremely terrible disaster, but also made a greater contribution to a certain god. The abnormal weather that engulfed the Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River soon disappeared, and it did not cause a major disaster. This strengthened Song Huizong's ambition to create a new era.

Now that we have established the determination to intensify our efforts to deepen reform, the third major event is not at all surprising. This is currency reform. Cai Jing's previous "ten dollars" was quite unpopular, so it was abolished at this time and replaced with the latest version of Zhenghe Tongbao.

Economic and financial matters are not something that our people know how to afford, and what our people talk about most is war.

The fourth major event immediately after this was a major failure that completely buried the Great Song Empire. However, history has always been written by the victors, and if the Great Song Dynasty could defeat the Jin soldiers fifteen years later, then this great defeat in the first year of Zhenghe would have become a great victory. Song Huizong will also transform from a generation of faint monarchs to an outstanding leader comparable to Tang Zong and Song Zu.

This extremely important military event that determined the future fate of the Great Song Dynasty was that the leadership of the Great Song Dynasty secretly changed the national strategic deployment and began to formally conspire with the Jin soldiers to stab the Great Liao allies in the back.

This is also the famous Song-Jin Sea Alliance in history.

This matter was naturally made by Tong Guan, a dead eunuch.

In fact, in real history, the legend of a loyal Yang family general is not reliable, after the old Linggong Yang Ye was killed in a border war before the Battle of Lanyuan, followed by the Alliance of Lanyuan. The Great Liao side invaded strongly into the boundary of Cangzhou and reached the Yellow River, which was unstoppable and had the upper hand in the army. However, the Great Song Dynasty used mysterious and unknown means to wittily kill the king of the Southern Court of Liao. Both sides felt that it would be a loss to fight any longer, so they shook hands and made peace, and concluded an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty that was slightly unequal.

Although this was an unequal treaty, the Great Song Dynasty enshrined the Great Liao as the suzerainty and paid tribute year after year. However, most historians do not think that the Great Song Dynasty really suffered a loss, but instead of suffering a loss, it made a profit. This is because there was no war between the Song and Liao dynasties, and the border trade was carried out, which greatly contributed to the prosperity of the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This Song-Liao mutual market is in Hejian Province, and Hejian Province is a border pass under the jurisdiction of the Daimyofu. The role of Yang Yanzhao is real, but he didn't fight at all in peacetime. Comrade Yang Yanzhao's tremendous contribution to the cause of national defense was also extremely outstanding, and he began to secretly construct extremely large underground fortifications behind the Songliao City in Hebei. The Great Song Dynasty never trusted the Khitan friends, and was always worried about being driven straight by the Khitan cavalry. Hebei Yima Pingchuan has no danger to rely on, so it excavates an underground hiding system that spans hundreds of miles across several counties. This thing has never come in handy, until 800 years later, when the Anti-Japanese War was carried out, when Hebei Tuba Road was engaged in tunnel warfare, it was used to fight little devils. Speaking of which, the inventor of this tunnel war is actually Yang Wulang in the loyal Yang family. Yang Wulang's useless work in the Northern Song Dynasty was able to help a lot after 800 years and dealt a powerful blow to the little devils. This history is infallible, but it is also full of legends.

In the first year of Zhenghe, Yang Wulang had already made an ancient appearance, but the underground military project started by him was already complete. The Great Song Dynasty finally had the confidence in his heart and dared to challenge the suzerainty status of the Khitans.

The Khitans were completely kept in the dark.

At this time, 60 of the 72 Jurchens in the Northeast had been trained by the Khitans to become the Great Liao Shunmin, known as Mature-NΓΌ-Zhen. Only the 12 relatively young Jurchens of the Wanyan tribe insisted on the freedom and liberation war of independent statehood inside and outside the Great Khing'an Mountains and on the banks of the Songhua River.

Yue Fei later said that he would go straight to Huanglong. This Huanglong Mansion is the first capital selected by Wanyan Aguda when he founded the country, and this place is Changchun City. For the people of Henan, it is a very distant place. Grandpa Yue's heart is indeed very big.

In the first year of this political peace, Tong Guan returned from the Great Liao and brought back a talent for Song Huizong. This talent secretly offered advice and strongly advocated that Song and Jin join forces to jointly overthrow the corrupt rule of the Great Liao.

Well! Song Huizong's heart was moved.

Next, according to the legend of the Water Margin, Tong Guan took the Song pioneer and ran to attack Youzhou, recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun for the Great Song Dynasty, and finally recovered the real Beijing city. also forced the Empress Dowager Xiao to offer a table.

However, the truth of history is not so. After the Jurchens first defeated the Liao garrison in the northeast, the Jin soldiers took advantage of the situation to enter the border of Inner Mongolia, and the front of the army was directed at the Great Liao Shangjing, which was located near Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia in later generations. The Great Song Dynasty side was like Principal Jiang who came down from Mount Emei, who refused to send troops during the bloody battle of Jin Liao in the early stage, and refused to admit the secret alliance with the Jurchens in front of the Great Liao envoys. Let the Jurchens send themselves to death, and I, Da Song, can only turn off the fire across the river. I didn't expect that this Northeast gentleman was really possessed by the god of war, winning more with less all the way, overcoming the strong with the weak, and even beating Da Liao to the point of being out of breath.

Seeing that Da Liao was about to die, Da Song finally sent troops to snatch the fruits of victory. At this time, Wanyan's family was fighting for the real main force of the Khitans in the north, and Tong Guan really raised an army of more than 100,000 like in the Water Margin, and took advantage of the weakness to grab Beijing. As for Song Jiang being captured alive by Uncle Zhang, Youmu was the pioneer for Master Tong Guan in this battle, so it is unknown to history.

Empress Dowager Xiao is also a real person, and she saw that Da Song, an ally, shamelessly betrayed the alliance, and stabbed Da Liao in the back at the critical juncture of Da Liao's life and death. Empress Dowager Xiao was furious!

This Empress Dowager Xiao is also a barbaric heroine who is a heroine, she knew at this time that Daliao was about to end, and under the attack of Jin Song, she would definitely be destroyed. Just before the final defeat of the Great Liao Empire, the women did not let the blood of the Empress Dowager Xiao burn, and counted all the remaining combat strength of the Khitan people, holding the broken heart of jade that was still glorious even though she died, and fought with the dead eunuch of the Great Song Dynasty who stole peaches shamelessly!

Empress Dowager Xiao completely ignored the threat of the Jurchens on the main battlefield, and tried her best to turn around and play jade crushing tactics with the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty who were sneaking up behind. This was completely out of the prejudgment of the General Staff of the Great Song Army, and Tong Guan's army was defeated almost instantly.

This was a tragic battle for the Khitans and a shameful battle for the Great Song Dynasty, and the victory and defeat were divided. Empress Dowager Xiao won a complete victory, winning the last bit of dignity for the dying Great Liao Empire. The Great Song Dynasty was defeated and humiliated at the same time.

Towards the end of the battle, Wanyan Aguta appeared on the battlefield with his son and 500 Jurchen cavalry. From the first moment the Yellow Dragon banner of the Northeast Jurchens appeared on the horizon, Empress Dowager Xiao surrendered directly. Although the golden soldiers only came with 500 horsemen. Da Liao is already doomed, so why bother to kill more. In the last battle against Tong Guan, Empress Dowager Xiao has successfully saved her dignity and no longer thinks about it. This battle is almost exactly the same as the stone battle at Shanhaiguan hundreds of years later. Wu Sangui rushed to the crown angrily for Chen Yuanyuan, and fought desperately with Li Zicheng to save his dignity. When the Yellow Dragon banner appeared, Li Zicheng was defeated, and Wu Sangui knelt down. This Manchu Eight Banners happens to be the descendants of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom. They even have the same flag.

So the Great Song Dynasty failed to grab the hand of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the plot of Song Jiang defeating the Empress Dowager Xiao in the Water Margin was not written by Teacher Shi at all, it was completely broken out by the dog-tailed mink people to comfort themselves, Da-Han-Min-Guo-Feng.

Next, the Song and Jin were still nominally allies at this time, so they began a painstaking and lengthy diplomatic mediation.

Because it is the Jurchens, although they have fought out Da Liao, they are also dying and urgently need to recuperate. So Wanyan's family agreed with great resentment to share the territory of Yanyun's sixteen states with the Great Song Dynasty. Immediately afterwards, it took less than ten years for the Jurchens to recover their combat strength, and as soon as they recovered, they provoked the Song-Jin War. From the standpoint of the Jurchens, this Song people are indeed shameless. What about the joint attack on Liao? The peat left me alone to die. When I pay a heavy price to win, you'll be robbing you of the welfare. That is, the Jurchens were exhausted at that time and did not dare to turn their faces with Da Song immediately. I put up with this breath temporarily. The vitality recovered slightly, and the code settled the old accounts with the shameless Song people. As a result, it is Jingkang's difficulty.

The tragic seeds of Jingkang's disaster were planted in the first year of Tong Guan's reign.

However, Tong Guan couldn't look forward to it, and it would be like that ending later. From Tong Guan's point of view, this strategy is actually a good plan to stabilize the country.

Although Kuai Fei is not familiar with history, as a second-year teenager, he is very keen on war gossip, and he has heard a lot about this section.

It is said that history is a mounted paper, and history can be rewritten at will. Kuai Fei felt that Tong Guan was playing like this, but there was no big mistake in the direction. He was wrong, he didn't know in advance that the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers was so strong, and he didn't expect that the 100,000 or even a million Great Song Forbidden Army would be so vulnerable.

What if the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty became not so vulnerable? If Tong Guan successfully won the Empress Dowager Xiao...... If the two brothers of the seed master and the seed master Dao did not be beheaded by Sticky Han under Taiyuan City, they beheaded Sticky Han in turn...... Then, Tong Guan can actually become a great strategist!

Far from it! Kuai Fei can only think about this kind of thing.

Due to poor qualifications and small capital, how can Wu Dalang have the qualifications to ask about the world's disputes at this moment. Kuai Fei is more interested in the fifth major event that appeared in the first year of Zhenghe.

This year also happened to be a huge leap forward in the social productive forces, and there was a new breakthrough in technology that is destined to go down in history, extremely corrupt, extremely valuable, and technological.

That's it! Legend has it that the Sotheby's auction action in later generations was sold at a price of more than 100 million, and the one that our Chou Dong sang affectionately: blue and white porcelain!

The official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was officially established in this year.
