In later generations, there was a Westerner with yellow hair and blue eyes, who accidentally discovered a dusty ruin in a place called Blackwater City in northwest China, which opened the door to a mysterious dynasty. To the world, this is simply an underground gallery that has been buried for 600 years. Unfamiliar words, exquisite Buddha statues, gorgeous paintings, countless classics and documents.
Later sinologists found that these documents came from a dynasty called the Western Xia dynasty in ancient China.
……
On the throne of the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace of the Xia Kingdom, Li Qianshun, who claimed to be the lord of the country externally and the emperor internally, looked at the ministers standing in the palace with a solemn face.
It is said that the Song and Xia countries have been at war for more than 100 years, when did the Xia State suffer such a big loss, it was defeated or unable to hold on in the past, just hand a table to the Song Dynasty, make a soft porcelain state on the surface, and then ask the Liao State in the north to mediate from the two, this and it will be negotiated, and then it can be extorted from the Song Dynasty to get a lot of benefits called Sui Ci.
"My Great Xia has been empty in recent years, how to meet the peace conditions proposed by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty!"
"According to the minister, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is really hateful, and he has no sincerity to negotiate peace with my Great Xia at all!"
Hearing the emperor's question, Xia Guo's ministers played one by one.
Regarding the negotiation of peace, the conditions put forward by the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be a lion's big mouth, the government and the opposition are extremely angry at the conditions proposed by the Song Dynasty, but there are tens of thousands of captured soldiers in the hands of the Song Dynasty, which can be described as a rat taboo, but in recent years, the Xia State and the Song Dynasty have repeatedly clashed, the field elite has been lost, and the source of troops has been overstretched, and the domestic soldiers are only enough to defend the territory.
In the war against the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao won three battles and three victories, and the war dividends could not withstand a series of domestic contradictions and instability caused by the consumption of national strength. As for the defeat of Da and Xiaoliang against the Song Dynasty, it caused drastic changes in China.
The party is a nation on horseback and a country based on force, naturally there is no shortage of brave and martial people, and it is not like the Great Song Dynasty that emphasizes literature and light on martial arts.
"In view of the fact that the Southern Dynasty neglected our dynasty and the envoys of the Great Liao, the minister begged His Majesty to hand over the country and His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao, it is better for the two countries to join forces to send troops to the Southern Dynasty and carve up the flower world of the Nanan people!"
"Wu Huan is right, the last general is willing to die on the battlefield, and he doesn't want to surrender to the Southern Dynasty, I think what a hero I was when Emperor Jingzong founded the country, only to kill the Southern Dynasty lost its armor and failed to form an army, I heard that my Great Xia soldiers were terrified, and now I am sincere in discussing peace, but I don't want to be repeatedly troubled and neglected by the Southern Dynasty, and my party should naturally follow Emperor Jingzong!"
Seeing the military ministers going crazy, the ministers of Xia Kingdom closed their mouths with great interest, and the ministers were also helpless in their hearts, these generals are all brave and reckless men, and their temperament has always been violent, and they can't listen to contrary opinions.
"The matter of the Song Dynasty should be discussed in the long run......" Seeing a group of generals rising up, Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun had no choice but to deal with it.
Every time the matter of Song and Xia peace is mentioned, this situation occurs in the court, and it is not a way to delay it for a long time, and Ning Liduo, the privy council envoy who is inclined to fight again with the Great Song Dynasty, came out and said: "Your Majesty, regarding peace, the minister thinks that the reason why the Southern Dynasty is asking for a price is because he does not want to negotiate peace with our court, so he also asks His Majesty to break off the idea of peace and prepare to fight with the Southern Dynasty again." ”
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to the battle!"
……
Seeing this kind of situation in the court, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun said helplessly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter should be discussed in the long run!" ”
Dangxiang people originally lived in the Songpan Plateau of Sichuan, because they could not bear the invasion of Tubo and other ethnic groups, they moved to northern Shaanxi in the Tang Dynasty, and later because of the peaceful chaos and meritorious Tuoba clan was named the Xiazhou Festival Envoy by the Tang Emperor, and the national background is not deep. After Li Yuanhao established the country, he saw that the Song and Liao had ready-made systems to follow, so he used the doctrine of taking it, imitating the Liao State in the army and the Song Dynasty in the official system.
"Yes, Your Majesty, take the idea, even if I fight to the death with the Southern Dynasty, I can't let those lowly Nan people insult me so much!"
"Your Majesty, although the gains and losses outweigh the losses from the death of the Southern Dynasty, as long as our army wins a few small victories, it is enough to deter the Southern Dynasty, enough to promote peace with war, so that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty does not dare to despise my Great Xia!"
……
Seeing a group of generals persecuting the emperor, there were still some rational ministers who wanted to come forward to persuade them, but they hesitated, these generals were arrogant and unreasonable, and they couldn't force the emperor to succeed, and they couldn't vent their anger on their own civil ministers, and they didn't have a place to complain after they were beaten, which was the saddest thing.
"Do you still know the duties of your courtiers, and you persecute His Majesty the Emperor so much!"
When the Western Xia courtiers who were persecuting the emperor heard this, they turned their eyes to the person who came out of the apse. After a while, a military general who was on fire asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Unexpectedly, he didn't know the rules like this, and appeared silently on the golden palace of my Great Xia Kingdom. ”
As mentioned above, the Western Xia Dynasty completely copied the official system of the Song Dynasty, and after a hundred years of evolution and repeated streamlining, addition and deletion, from 24 divisions to 16 divisions, but as an agency responsible for spying on intelligence, the Imperial City Division has not changed, and its status has become more and more stable and more detached.
Marching and fighting, the generals of the Xia army often get the support of the Imperial City Division in intelligence, but for the generals of the Western Xia Army, the imperial city envoy who does not see the head and tail in the Imperial City Division is mysterious and abnormal, and even since the founding of the Great Xia, very few officials in the court have seen the chief of the Imperial City Division with their own eyes, and there are even rumors that the Imperial City Division often does some shady dirty work for His Majesty the Emperor, and kills those disobedient courtiers or domestic gate valves, and the means are even more diverse.
