Chapter 76: The Legendary Ending

Previous Chapter



Time flies, two years have passed in a blink of an eye, the territory of Western Xia has been turned into a pot of porridge, and the emperor of Liao is still thinking about working hard to be ashamed. @樂@文@小@说|

In the spring of the fourth year of Xinghua, the eldest prince was almost five years old, and he was following his little aunt in the inconspicuous Salesian Bureau in the capital. During this period, through Zhao Zhen's efforts, Xiao Zhao Zhen had three more younger brothers and a younger sister, namely Zhao Xing of the second aunt Yang Guifei, Zhao Zhong of the third aunt Xie Shufei, and Zhao Hua of the little aunt Li Xianfei. However, these three guys are still breastfeeding, and Zhao Zhen can only play with those children of the same age in the Salesian Bureau.

Originally, Xiao Zhao Zhen also had the task of taking care of his sibling sister, but this sister fell into a deep sleep since she was born, and she couldn't wake up at other times except for knowing how to open her mouth when she was breastfeeding. No matter how hard the famous doctors from all walks of life tried their best, they couldn't see the reason, even Zhao Zhen, who crossed the party, was helpless, so he had to let it go, just looking at the trace of sorrow on Zhang Rou's forehead, he was very distressed.

This thing is also strange, Zhao Zhen's three concubines are normal when they give birth, but Zhang Rou was born with a vision when the eldest princess Zhao Meng was born, which can be described as a gathering of wind and clouds, lightning and thunder. This has to be according to those old pedants, that is, the natural vision is either a male lord or a demon, since it is a girl, the male lord has no hope, then only the demon is left. If she was to be born in an ordinary family, it is estimated that she should have played it as soon as she was born, but she is lucky to have a cow-breaking father and mother, at least she can be a sleeping princess.

However, everyone including Zhao Zhen and his wife didn't know that in a certain time and space, a scientific giant played the electromagnetic energy transmission experiment and got away, not only sending himself into the space-time tunnel, but also jumping into a big pit in a certain place on the earth, which can be said to be the first person to dig a "pit" in history, so that the academic elite after a hundred years still don't know what he was playing!

Because of this incident, Zhao Zhen's mood has been unhappy, and he wants to find someone to vent his anger. At this time, Wu Ren, who had been dead for a lifetime, returned to the capital with a pockmarked face. He also came back with the cowpox that he named the "exorcism miracle drug" and its related test data, so the Great Song Dynasty had another "Jishi Taipo", ranking first among all the "Gestapo". and became the first person in history to be in the Tower of Heroes in his lifetime.

After the last test, Zhao Zhen and his family were successfully infected with cowpox. Subsequently, Zhao Zhen intensively cultivated cowpox on the one hand, but on the other hand, he issued a proclamation that shocked the world: I have a miracle medicine that can drive smallpox. Forever safe. Now due to the limited production, it is necessary to apply the medicine in batches, so there are four people, divided into common people, commoners, citizens, and nobles. The common people, the people attached to the outside also; The commoners are the children of the nation; Citizens are the people of the world; The nobles, the nobles, too. The order of the four peoples can be promoted according to the honor, and the honorable person does not specifically refer to the military exploits. The good for the country and the people are all in it, the good rise and the evil descend, and the law is the common people. I will select the great priests of the country, and I will be responsible for the selection, and I hope that my people will strive to forge ahead.

As soon as this proclamation came out, the world was in an uproar. Those nobles don't talk about it, anyway, they have landed safely, just wait in peace. However, this citizen problem has become the most serious problem at the moment, because Zhao Zhen gave an ambiguous definition, and did not clearly stipulate that those people are citizens. Naturally, some people couldn't sit still and began the journey of "I will go up and down and seek". Among them, the representative force is those scholars, the government and the opposition are connected, and for the first time in the Great Song Dynasty, they declared the existence of this force. In the previous four people's Shinong, industry and commerce. They are in the first place, but the "new four people" that Zhao Zhen made seems to have nothing to do with them, so how can it work?

As a result, not long after the notice was posted, Zhao Zhen received a large number of folds, and many newspapers and periodicals led by the Royal Times and Jinling Times also published tirades. Many literati who are usually inconspicuous and watertight can't help but come out. In the end, under the pressure of public opinion, the ministers of the imperial court jointly played a joint petition and asked Zhao Zhen to come forward to solve the problem. Zhao Zhen also gave these courtiers enough face, and after pondering for a while, he reluctantly gave an explanation: those who have obtained fame in the previous examination are all citizens; Those who subsequently obtain meritorious service are also citizens; In addition, graduates of the Royal Academies from various places are citizens; In addition, those who have made great contributions to the state can be promoted to citizens.

In this way, the existing bureaucratic system will not make a fuss, but those students who have not yet been able to achieve fame will be divided into two factions. One faction is more mild, and directly chooses to study at the Royal Academies in various places, but the other part of the more temperamental ones don't do it, they are all scholars, why don't you count you as citizens?

At this point, the group of scholars in the Song Dynasty who had not yet grown into a "towering tree" was dismembered into several pieces by Zhao Zhen, although their strength was still very strong, but different voices began to appear within it. These people took advantage of the two major times and the non-governmental newspapers that came into being, and staged a debate war all day long, and the debate became boundless, and later many irrelevant people were also involved, and some schools that had been dormant for a long time and the nascent schools were fighting fiercely, and the crooked buildings became very serious.

Zhao Zhen was stuffy in the palace and didn't say anything, letting them be noisy and noisy for a whole year, and he was thinking about the next ghost idea while sending people to plant pox everywhere. Until one day, the "noisy" style of the major newspapers and periodicals seemed to change suddenly, and new forces claiming to be the three major parties suddenly appeared to join the war group, while propagating their own ideas, while recruiting talented people, and completely leading this chaotic public opinion war to the future without a trace.

Xinghua five years, Li Di's three-year term expired, and according to the previous agreement, the three major parties began to start their "debut" at the sage conference. The final result, under the control of a certain black-bellied man, won the championship with the Reform Party in one fell swoop, in fact, Li Di and Yan Shu had already prepared for this result, but this second place was beyond the expectations of the two, but Li Di, who seemed to have the shallowest foundation, ran in front of Yan Shu's Patriotic Party.

In order to lay the foundation for some of his own reform plans, Zhao Zhen also threw away the festival and waited for Fan Zhongyan, the young prime minister, to come to power, and ordered him to hold a grand examination, which was different from the imperial examination, but also very popular with people, that is, the civics examination, there was only one chance, and it was also the last explanation to traditional scholars. As for why the Qingguo Party was placed in second place, Zhao Zhen also had his own considerations, reform was not an overnight effort, and in order to prevent the Revolutionary Party from making rash advances, it was necessary to install a "brake" for them. Meantime. This resistance can't be too big, and it's best to help be blackened.

Zhao Zhen has been trying a new form of government, but he does not have the ability to control its development completely, and he only plants a seed. Watch it take root and sprout. Perhaps the only thing he could do was to pluck it a little while he saw it grow crooked, or simply uproot it.

After arranging the internal affairs, Zhao Zhen looked at the map behind him. On that huge "ball", there are many places where human beings have not yet set foot, but unfortunately their lives are limited, so take care of the territory in front of you!

In the sixth year of Tiansheng, as soon as spring began, Zhao Zhen issued a large-scale mobilization order. Ordered Di Qing to lead the Northwest Field Army (Suzaku Legion, 80,000) and the Mountain ** Army (adapted from the Qiang Army, a total of 40,000 people in the two armies) to cross the Hengshan Mountain and sweep away the chaotic Western Regions. Reopening the Silk Road. After Li Yuanhao's death, the disintegrating Western Xia consumed a lot of strength in the chaotic battles in the past few years, facing Di Qing, the most powerful general of the young generation, and the two strong armies under his command, those local forces either fell in the wind, or scattered and fled, and the slightest resistance would be crushed by Di Qing with the power of thunder.

When Di Qing invaded the territory of the former Western Xia, Zhao Zhen suppressed the pressure of Chao, pulled out the agreement signed by the Empress Dowager of Liao, and erected the banner of the Northern Expedition to the Liao State to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. He led the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion, which had long been on standby at the border, to cross the border that had not been crossed for nearly a hundred years, and officially started the Northern Expedition. As soon as he entered the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Zhen and Zhi Wei Zhengbing split into two ways. Zhi Weizheng led the White Tiger Legion to Xijing of Liao, while Zhao Zhen led the Blue Dragon Legion to take Nanjing of Liao.

Although the territory of Liao is vast, after so many years of transformation, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have become their most important place, which is not only their only grain producing area, but also the place where the population is most concentrated. Once they lose Yanyun, it means that they have to return to the grassland to "wander", and they are used to living a good life, how can they give up their current comfortable life.

As a result, Liao Xingzong did not spend much effort to obtain the unanimous support of the government and the opposition, and he worked together to fight a battle with the increasingly arrogant Song State, so that the Song State would surrender to his feet here. Benefiting from the abundant horse resources of the Liao State, Liao Xingzong also quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various tribes, plus the elite troops of his Khitan clan, a total of 600,000 troops, of which half were cavalry. With so many soldiers and horses, Liao Xingzong's confidence also soared, and the haze of the fall of Nanjing a few days ago also disappeared without a trace, intending to have a decisive battle with the emperor of the Song State in Zhongjing, although he heard that the Song army is now very strong, he still does not believe that his 300,000 cavalry will be afraid of him Song State 100,000 troops.

However, the progress of the war was not in the hands of Liao Xingzong from the beginning, and just when he was about to drive the expedition in person, the news came that his Xijing had been breached, and an army of 80,000 horses of the Song army was turning around from the side. In response to this battle situation, Liao Xingzong did not have a good response plan, so he had to divide 100,000 troops to intercept the enemy on the flank, not to win, but at least to drag the Song army. At this time, there were still nearly 500,000 troops in Liao Xingzong's personal expedition, and his confidence was still very strong.

But there is a good saying, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way! Liao Xingzong had not gone far with a large number of troops before he received another report that a place that he thought was very safe had also attracted a fierce attack from the Song army. This place is the Tokyo of the Liao State, and it is still separated from the Song State by a Bohai Sea, but I didn't expect the Song army to dispatch many ships at once, including two super ships, which directly sent 100,000 forbidden troops to the edge of Tokyo.

Since the Liao State had not made Tokyo the center of gravity for defense, only a small number of troops were there to defend against the Koreans. Encountering the 100,000 Great Song Forbidden Army armed to the teeth, the Liao army guards originally wanted to resist the city a little, but they didn't know what tricks the Song army used, and the good gate was blown down in a few clicks. The Liao army guards looked at it, this is a fart! And I heard that joining the Song Kingdom had the opportunity to obtain the magic medicine, and the upper and lower levels quickly reached an agreement, so they simply lowered!

At the same time, the two river defense fleets of the Great Song Dynasty under the leadership of Chong Shiheng went straight to the hinterland of the Liao State along the Great Liao River, although there were tens of thousands of marines under his command, but because of the timing and place of their appearance, it still caused an uproar within the Liao State. If you want to say who is the most depressed in the Song army sequence, it is naturally Qi Zhonghao, who first acted as the "transport captain" of the transport troops, and after taking Tokyo, his big ship could not follow Chong Shiheng to make trouble, as long as he was dangling in the Bohai Sea, the coastal cities of Liao were angry, and he would fight in the east and touch in the west.

At this time in the Northern Expedition, Liao Xingzong's time for a headache had come, and at the beginning he was complacent with his ability to mobilize troops as a great power. Within two days, he received countless requests for help, and it seemed that overnight, his huge country had become a dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere. He saw that these places were still very important places. You can't ignore it, otherwise the core of the entire Liao Kingdom will be in danger of falling into a siege, there is no way, continue to divide the troops!

To say that these depressed Liao Xingzong can still find a little excuse, after all, it is the war between the two countries. was led by the nose and gritted his teeth, and endured it. But the appearance of a force made him almost sick to death, it was the inconspicuous Tubo tribe, who seemed to be called something to think about it, he had never heard of it before, and he deliberately chose this time to send a broken letter.

You said that you received the favor of Song Guo and planned to mess with Song Guo, you can be a dog leg if you want to, no one stopped you, and you dared to run to threaten yourself. When I free up my hand, I will destroy you!

Liao Xingzong cursed viciously, and then tore the letter into pieces, as if he had barely let out a bad breath.

However, Liao Xingzong didn't expect that this guy who threatened him would actually come to the real thing. Since the Talu Andai of the Tusima tribe personally came to the Song Kingdom for a tour, when he returned home, he often dreamed that the "iron dragon" he had seen in the Song Kingdom roared past him, and he would break out in a cold sweat every time. After careful consideration, Aluan Dai made the most correct decision in his life, and of course there were people who opposed his decision, but they were all thrown to the Song Kingdom. Let them feel for themselves.

However, it was also a bit troublesome, and although the decision was made, there was never a good opportunity. It's not. As soon as he heard that the Emperor of the Song State had begun a full-scale northern expedition to the Liao State, his mind was activated, and he asked the envoys to rush to the capital of the Song State with his son non-stop, strongly requesting that it be annexed, and also asked the imperial court to send troops immediately. On the other side, he was sending a letter to threaten Liao Xingzong at the same time. really organized an army to step into the territory of Liao, although the number is not large, only 2,000 cavalry, but this attitude is already very sufficient, after all, this kind of work should be put in the past, it is the work of the vassal king.

After sending people everywhere to fill in the leaks, Liao Xingzong no longer had the ambition to start with, and only wanted to rush to Zhongjing as soon as possible, and with the help of Zhongjing's defense, build a "meat grinder" to deal with the Song army. On this day, Zhao Zhen also rushed to Zhongjing in Liao with a large team, accompanied by Yang Guifei, who had just been weaned. Of course, she did not come as the emperor's concubine, but as the commander of the Shenji Battalion, which is still an establishment of 2,000 people, but the original "Tiger Brigade" has been withdrawn and scattered into various military-level units as fire support, and it is replaced by the new "Fire Dragon Brigade". When the "Fire Dragon Brigade" was formed, Zhao Zhen originally wanted to preemptively register the name "Katyusha", but Yang Jinhua disagreed, and insisted on using the domineering-sounding name "Fire Dragon".

In short, the Liao Shengzong longed for the Song State to attack the city, no matter whether it could be defended or not, as long as it could kill the Song people more, it would be worthy of the ancestors and the ancestors.

But can Zhao Zhen do what he wants? The answer is no.

After Zhao Zhen Chen Bing and the Liao State Zhongjing City were down, they were not busy launching an attack, and they didn't even fiddle with any decent siege equipment. Just when Liao Shengzong didn't understand what the Emperor of the Song Kingdom wanted to play, ten things that didn't know what they were slowly flew up from the sky above the Song army, and they seemed to be flying towards his own city. Liao Shengzong instinctively felt that this thing was coming to deal with him, so he hurriedly arranged for archers, and when he saw that he couldn't reach it, he changed the bed and crossbow, but the soldier told him a helpless result - it was still out of reach.

I had no choice but to watch them roam above my head. It will take some time to see them fly over, Liao Xingzong looked at the Song army's position again, and finally saw ten carriages that looked like siege weapons driving out. I can't reach the heavens, but I can always reach them on the earth!

Pity! Still not wanting to be cannon fodder, the ten carriages stopped a mile from the city, and it wasn't long before a puff of smoke suddenly rose from the place where the carriages were, and countless guys who didn't know what they were flew over with flames......

At the same time, those guys who had been dangling in the air for a while also found their target and began to ride on people's heads to pull "".

Boom Boom Boom ......

After a period of roaring, Liao Xingzong, who was taken care of, was unfortunately hit by "" and became the first emperor in history to die without a body. And his armies were already in chaos when they saw such a magical thing as an airship, not to mention those explosions that they had never seen before, and the three souls and seven spirits didn't know where to go.

This war, which brought together a large number of elite troops of the two countries, did not take place as fierce as expected, and the soldiers of the Liao State were defeated by the fear of ignorance of mankind, and either fled the battlefield like crazy, or prostrate on the ground, waiting for the judgment of the super-god emperor of the Song State......
