The next storytelling was a heated and grand discussion, and every time Huo Sanwen said a paragraph, he would interrupt the excited audience and discuss it for a while. Huo San was not annoyed, and from time to time he had to join in and express his opinions.

For Zhou Shizong, who only served as the emperor for five and a half years, there is no shortage of admirers in later generations, and there are many legendary stories of him on the Song-Liao border, although more than a hundred years have passed, people are still talking about it.

Whenever the Liao State invaded the border and the Song army was defeated and retreated, Yan Zhao Nan'er would think of Zhou Shizong and say that if he didn't die early, but became the emperor for more than ten or twenty years, he would take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Khitan people would be rampant?

There were many people who expressed their opinions, and they spoke very lively, Wu Ji learned more and more about Zhou Shizong, and finally sorted out a clear outline.

Zhou Shizong was the founder of the reunification of the Central Plains after five generations, not Zhao Kuangyin. It was he who accumulated strength for the Later Zhou Dynasty in just a few years, changed the strategic situation, and was able to smoothly unify the Central Plains after the Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny.

"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the North China Plain centered on Yanjing in modern times, where the land is fertile, the people are solid, and there are a large number of Han people. It's a pity that it is under the iron hooves of the Khitan, and the people here hate both the Khitan people and the incompetence of the Song Dynasty. After understanding the situation, Wu Ji affirmed his views even more.

"In the long-term Song-Liao War, the Song army lost more than won less, and the recognition of the Song Dynasty by the people at the border was not strong. It is entirely possible to resist Liao in the north and reject the Song in the south. Wu Ji took a step further and thought: "If there is my weapon to help, it is not a problem to destroy the Liao State, and when the time is ripe, it is even possible to replace the Song Dynasty." ”

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are definitely a treasure land of feng shui, it is very difficult to seize it, and it takes a chance, who will get it?

Wu Ji only thought about this question, and he couldn't do it accurately. Because, the times create heroes, and no matter how good a person is, there is no time to use the current situation, which is also delusional.

A legend of Zhou Shizong was discussed for two hours before he finished speaking. This atmosphere is quite good, even better than Huo Sanwen talking about the Three Kingdoms, Wu Ji is also in high spirits, listening to it with relish, until two hours later, he left Beilong Wazi.

After leaving the north lane, Wu Ji decided to go somewhere else to take a look. Xiongzhou is not only prosperous, but also ancient and ancient, Wu Ji sees it in his eyes, a little more fresh, or take a good look, he is really unwilling.

This walk, it was unbelievable, and it was not until after midnight that it was all gone.

When they returned, the soldiers were satisfied and rejoiced. Wu Ji regretted that Yang Xiuxiu did not come. Wu Ji originally wanted to bring her to Xiongzhou, but Yang Xiuxiu was a virtuous person and knew too much about the Wu family's military industry, so he didn't agree.

After a night without words, he got up early the next morning, Wu Ji used it too early and asked Wu Jian to find a blacksmith, and he took a few personal soldiers to prepare to visit Lin Hong.

Coming to Xiongzhou to sell the weapons of Wu's military industry was an important goal of Wu Ji. In the Xiongzhou Army, Wu Ji only knew Lin Hong, and it was very important to sell weapons and get Lin Hong's help.

Lin Hong's home was in the south of the city, and Wu Ji and his party rushed to the south of the city. Walking along the street, there were still crowds of people along the way, and there was an endless stream, Wu Ji walked and looked at it.

"Brother Ji, look at it, there!"

As he was walking, Wu Xing suddenly pointed ahead and shouted at Wu Ji: "Liao Dog is too hateful!" Hateful! Hateful! ”

He was extremely angry, and his teeth were gritted loudly, as if he had met an enemy.

Wu Ji followed the direction of his finger and looked, only to see that not far ahead, there was a huge courtyard, with houses lined up one after another, no less than hundreds.

At the gate of the courtyard, a group of Liao soldiers, divided into two compartments, stood there, like a wooden stake, extremely powerful.

"Although Liaogou is hateful, it is also extraordinary, no wonder it can suppress the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years!" Wu Ji saw the military posture and military appearance of the Liao soldiers in his eyes, and had to admit that the Liao soldiers did have something extraordinary.

It is located in the downtown area, just on the side of the street, which was originally a lively area, but because of the relationship between the Liao soldiers, the people took a detour from afar, as if the Liao soldiers were plague gods.

In fact, the Liao soldiers are the plague gods, they are rampant and domineering, and they regard Xiongzhou as the back garden of the Khitan, and they do nonsense, but no one dares to take care of it. If the people came near, they would have made things difficult for them, and even beaten them.

These Liao soldiers looked at the people walking far away, just like a hunter looking at his prey, and from time to time he would crack the corners of his mouth with a look of disdain.

Above the gate of the courtyard, there is a huge plaque, which reads "Nagong Pavilion" in three big gold characters, which are as big as a bucket. These three characters are written in two languages, Khitan characters and Chinese characters, the Khitan characters are at the top and the Chinese characters are at the bottom, all of them are mud gold, and from a distance, the golden light is shining and eye-catching.

If you pass by here, it is difficult to see it, and the intention of the Liao people is obvious, that is, to disgust the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty couldn't defeat the Khitan in the first place, and the Liao State repaired the Nagong Pavilion to Xiongzhou, and made it so magnificent, who can not be resentful? Wu Ji saw it in his eyes, it was no different from seeing insulting words such as "the sick man of East Asia" and "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Liaogou is so annoying! It's humiliating us! ”

"Poor officials, they can bear it!"

A group of pro-soldiers saw it in their eyes, were angry in their hearts, clenched their fists, and wanted to rush up and smash it.

In the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Kou Zhun won a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to recuperate and carry out reforms, which is understandable. Because the Song Dynasty had too many shortcomings, if you want to reform, you have to negotiate peace with the Liao State and temporarily stop the military war.

However, the Song Dynasty did not take advantage of this rare opportunity to carry out reforms, but was drunk and dreamed of death, thinking that with the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao army would not fight, and from then on it was free to relax.

Where to think, their dream did not last long, and it was shattered by the Liao people. In the Chongxi period, the Liao State was no longer satisfied with the New Year's coins agreed by the Yuanyuan Alliance, and gave 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 pieces of silk. The emperor of Liao mobilized a large army and assembled on the Song-Liao border, posing as if he was going to enter the Central Plains, forcing the Song Dynasty to sue for peace.

Song Renzong was timid and sent an equally timid minister, Fu Bi, to negotiate peace. Fu Bi couldn't play with the Liao people, and finally it was agreed that the Song Dynasty doubled the annual coin, which became 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 silk silks. This bit of silver and silk silk is nothing to the economically powerful Song Dynasty.

However, what is unexpected is that Song Renzong actually accepted the most humiliating treaty and changed the gift of New Year's coins to Na New Year's coins. This word "Na" is not tight, so that the Song Dynasty lost face, since then, the Liao State has built a grand "Nagong Pavilion" in Xiongzhou, which is beautifully repaired, specifically disgusting the Song Dynasty.

This is the origin of the famous "Chongxi Coin" in history.

"Don't give me a chance, otherwise, you'll have to smash this Nagong Pavilion!" Wu Ji looked at the glittering plaque, his teeth itched with hatred, his right hand was clenched on the hilt, he used too much force, and the back of his hand was blue.
