Chapter 8 The Current Situation

Shaoxing Mansion is the land of fish and rice since ancient times, the Northern Song Dynasty was called Yuezhou before, when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin State, Gaozong was chased by the Jin Wushu and fled south, once settled here, regarded Yuezhou as a temporary national capital, and changed its name to Shaoxing Mansion the following year, and Shaoxing got its name from this.

Walking on the street of Shaoxing City, Gao Huaiyuan was full of emotion, to be able to revisit Shaoxing in this era, for him, it is something he never thought of, in his previous life, as Huang Tao, he had been here once, and now he is revisiting Shaoxing, and it is a mood.

After beating the evil servant, Gao Huaiyuan became the focus of discussion in the house, Gao Huaiyuan also began to attract the attention of his father Gao Jian, and his status in the house was significantly improved, although he still lived in the original courtyard, but the quality of life has been greatly improved, Gao Jian ordered someone to give him and Liu Er's house from the newly renovated courtyard, replaced the dilapidated furniture in the house, and bought some new clothes for Gao Huaiyuan, even Liu'er no longer has to wear the same shabby clothes as before.

Not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan is going to eat people's leftovers, on the whole, he has begun to have some status as the third son of the Gao family, but Gao Huaiyuan is not grateful for these things Gao Jian has done, in his opinion, these should have been his, but they are just belated, he knows very well that people have to rely on their own strength to speak, if he is still stupid, then now Gao Jian still will not look at him squarely.

As for those subordinates who used to play him for pleasure when they had nothing to do, now that they are killed, they don't dare to provoke Gao Huaiyuan anymore, the fate of Li's little guy is vivid, he was beaten half to death by Gao Jian's order, and then he was thrown into the street, becoming a cripple, begging on the street all day for a living, and the end can be said to be miserable! No one dares to touch Gao Huaiyuan's moldy head anymore.

Originally, they were still wondering, how could Gao Huaiyuan, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, knock out the sturdy little guy under the Li family, and then they secretly heard from the little guy who was beaten out of the Gao Mansion that Gao Huaiyuan didn't look like a teenager, a pervert with a lot of strength, and he was knocked out with a punch, and then a fat beating, so that he was an adult without the power to fight back, so that those people in the mansion regarded Gao Huaiyuan as a monster, not to mention provoking him when he was fine, and he was afraid to avoid it.

And the other so-called relatives in the Gao Mansion still don't associate with Gao Huaiyuan, the reason is very simple, one is that Gao Huaiyuan has a bad background, whether he is stupid or not now, he is still a sin born of a maid, and there is no need to have anything to do with him! The other is because Gao Huaiyuan was struck by lightning this time, many people think that Gao Huaiyuan is an ominous person and regards him as a monster, so they don't want to get close to him, but just treat him as nothing.

Gao Huaiyuan himself is also very aware of this reason, so he also fell clean, and he was even more lazy to make friends with the people of the Gao family, and he didn't care about what Gao Jian gave him, among the clothes sent by the people, he only chose some clothes that were more casual to wear, as for clothes such as silk shirts, he was too lazy to wear them, anyway, he was idle, Gao Huaiyuan went out to walk around these days when he was full of food, while looking at the scenery of Shaoxing, while understanding the current situation.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty was singing and dancing, but there were still some people talking about the war between the Mongolian army and the Jin army in the north, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty mentioned this matter, they were all very excited, and the Dajin Kingdom that bullied the Great Song Dynasty to the extreme was also bullied by others, in their opinion, this is retribution, the Song and Jin countries can be said to be feuding, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the hands of the Jin State, and the shame of Jingkang's difficulty has been shamed by the Song people until now, so now I have heard that the Mongols beat the Jin Kingdom to the ground, Naturally, there is no need to gloat.

When Gao Huaiyuan was in his previous life, he had some understanding of history, but he didn't study history, and he only knew some superficial knowledge of many things in the Southern Song Dynasty, and after this life, the silly boy used to be muddy, and there was nothing useful left in his head, so he had to understand the current situation, and he could only start from scratch, a few days ago he couldn't understand much from Liu Er alone, and in Gaofu, he had no one to talk to, so he could only go to the streets every day when he had nothing to do, talk to some people you don't know, and take the opportunity to learn about the current situation.

After a few days, he began to understand all kinds of things at this time, the current emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty is Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo, and the eighth year of Jiaqing should be roughly 121 years AD, but in which year, Gao Huaiyuan has no ability!

So Gao Huaiyuan searched his stomach and thought about it, and finally sorted out the history in his mind, and now Song Ningzong is in power, which means that the current power in the court should be the famous minister Shi Miyuan in history!

And at this time, it was also when Genghis Khan was in full swing, and the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia in the north of the Southern Song Dynasty probably didn't have a long time to toss, he didn't remember very clearly, the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia were destroyed by Mongolia in which year, but he knew that these two countries might not last long!

From the analysis of the information I occasionally saw in the past, the Song, Jin, and Western Xia were all more confused than one in the affairs of Mongolia, and there was no clear understanding of the head of a country at all, if the bosses of the three countries were all understanding, if the three countries joined forces, even if the two countries joined forces to resist the Mongolian army, it would not be easy for Mongolia to destroy any of them!

It is a pity that no country has such a wise boss, not only did the three countries not join forces in such a dangerous situation, but also scattered their efforts and went to war with neighboring countries, fighting to the death, and consuming a lot of troops and financial resources in vain, when the Mongol army decided to destroy them, each of them regretted it too late, and finally became the victims of the Mongols.

A few years ago, the Mongol army invaded Western Xia, and Western Xia was beaten very badly by the Mongols, and asked for help from Jin, but King Wei Shao of Jin refused to send troops to help Xixia, and took a wait-and-see posture, and the Xixia people hated Jin.

And he also heard that in the fourth year of Jiading, Genghis Khan led his troops to attack the Jin State, and the Western Xia took a more mixed approach, and instead relied on the Mongol army, like when they dealt with the Northern Song Dynasty before, they wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the Jin State, and took the opportunity to take advantage of some of the Jin State, so he sent a large army to attack the Jin State from the flank, so that the Western Xia and the Jin State completely fell into a situation of incompatibility, and the two countries not only had to face the Mongolian army, but also always be careful of each other's soldiers and horses. The short-sightedness of both sides hastened their demise, and although neither the Western Xia nor the Jin Kingdom had yet been destroyed by the Mongols, this day would not be too far away!

And Song Ningzong is not a person who understands, he used to let the traitor Han Yanxuan monopolize power and support Han Yanzhou's Northern Expedition, and Han Yanxuan brazenly launched the Northern Expedition without preparation in the Southern Song Dynasty, but was beaten by the Jin Army, which consumed the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty and almost lost all the elite troops of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This incident was a great blow to the Southern Song Dynasty, and Ning Zong was also disheartened precisely because of this time, and Han Yanxuan was also killed by the current minister Shi Miyuan in collusion with Queen Yang to ambush the soldiers halfway, and gave his head to Jin Guo as a gift.

As soon as the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, the good days of the Southern Song Dynasty would be completely over, and the Mongol army would soon move south, and the Southern Song Dynasty would be completely caught in the storm, and there would never be a day of stability to live!

Thinking of this, Gao Huaiyuan sighed, it was really untimely! In this life, if you want to live this life in peace, I'm afraid it's difficult! I don't know if when I reach old age, I will have to be stabbed by the Mongols!

But looking down at his body, Gao Huaiyuan has no good way, although he is mature in thought, but his body is a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and because of his status at home, it is difficult for him to do something!

Touching his pocket, except for this clothes, Gao Jian didn't give him any money to spend, it can be said that he has an empty outfit, but his pocket is empty, Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly, and turned around and walked towards Gaofu.

Although Shaoxing is not a big city in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the scenery is very beautiful, and the city was built very early, the river in the city is vertical and horizontal, the standard scenery of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the winemaking industry here is developed, there are many small bridges in the city, and the later generations have the reputation of the Venice of the East, although they have been wandering around for a few days in a row, Gao Huaiyuan has not walked all the places in the city, so he chose a road that has not been walked, and returned to Gaofu, and by the way, he will not see the place to see, after all, rebirth of a life, it is better to see more or see moreAnd he can also use this time to think about what he will do in the future.

Although Gao Jian promised to let him go out of the house to play and let the servants accompany him, Gao Huaiyuan never wanted to bring any domestic servants when he went out, and few of these domestic servants were willing to go with him, so basically after he came out for the first time, he left home alone, so he walked very freely, and he went around wherever he wanted.

was walking, suddenly heard a child crying in front of him, thinking that it was okay, Gao Huaiyuan walked over, right to see the excitement, when turning a street corner, there were a few teenagers who were about the same age as him, were boxing and kicking around a younger teenager, the younger teenager was beaten to the ground, crying loudly.
