The Great Song Dynasty was a state founded by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, in 960. Before the Great Song Dynasty, there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, which was the era of China's great division. The title of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms comes from the New History of the Five Dynasties, which is a combination of the Five Dynasties (907-960) and the Ten Kingdoms (902-979).

The Five Dynasties refer to the five regimes in the Central Plains that were successively replaced after the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907, namely the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou. In 960, Zhao Kuangyin of the Later Zhou Dynasty launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, and the yellow robe was added, usurping the Later Zhou to establish the Northern Song Dynasty, and the five dynasties ended.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were many secessionist regimes outside the Central Plains, among which more than ten secessionist regimes, such as the former Shu, Later Shu, Southern Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping (Jingnan), and Northern Han, were collectively referred to as the Ten Kingdoms by the History of the New Five Dynasties and later historians.

After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, it successively unified the surviving regimes of Jingnan, Wuping, Houshu, Southern Han, Southern Tang, Wuyue, and Northern Han, and basically realized the unification of the whole country

Unlike the traditional Chinese courts, the Great Song dynasty was unable to complete the unification of the traditional Han land throughout its history.

The interesting thing about the Great Song Dynasty is that the founder of the Northern Song Dynasty was Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and all the emperors of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Kuangyin, were all descendants of Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi. After the Zhao family crossed to the south, all the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were all descendants of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, except for the pioneer Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

In 319 of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren, the new official of the Great Song Dynasty, ascended the throne. Many people believe that this emperor of the Great Song Dynasty may be considered the new pioneer of the Great Song Dynasty. After the surrender of Lin'an, the Southern Song Dynasty can actually be considered to have perished. Like Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Gou, Zhao Jiaren also raised troops from the new capital.

At that time, many people thought that the Great Song Dynasty would probably not be able to hold out for long in the face of the powerful Mongols, and could probably only hold Lingnan. The Great Song Dynasty could only continue to move south, surviving for a long time. No one thought that seeing that the powerful Mongolia did not fight the Great Song in Jiangnan, after some battles with the Great Song that did not look fierce, they chose to retreat in front of the Song army and give up Jiangnan. The Song army recaptured Lin'an.

The recapture of Lin'an was not the end of a series of achievements of the Zhao Guanjia, and within a few years he attacked everywhere, in addition to basically restoring the western front to the situation of the Song Lizong era, but also attacking north. Recaptured Kaifeng and Luoyang and the Zhao Emperor's Mausoleum, and made the feat of returning the Yellow River to the north.

At the time of the surrender of Lin'an, the Great Song Yuxi had already been dedicated to Mongolia. In the year 319 of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia cast their own jade seal, forcing the small official family to give in, and the Zhao official family established itself as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. In the face of a series of astonishing exploits of the Zhao official family, this major event did not arouse special opposition.

Zhao Qian knew very well that this situation was definitely not because of his father's holy virtue to influence the world, but because the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty was basically in the hands of his father. This is no ordinary army. Before the Zhao Guanjia launched the Yellow River Campaign, there was a strong defeatist argument in the Great Song Dynasty. The former official of the big ticket became a traitor of the Song Dynasty, that is, the official who did not have time to defect to Mongolia at that time, and after the Great Song Dynasty returned to Lin'an, he still privately colluded with Mongolia to defect.

At that time, in the school, many teenage students also thought that after the surrender of the Great Song Dynasty Lin'an, the Mongolian marshal Boyan lost his enterprising spirit. The move of withdrawing from Jiangnan without a fight is simply inexplicable.

At that time, Zhao Qian held a big breath in his heart, thinking that Mongolia's Boyan Marshal was making a mistake, that is, he thought that Zhao Qian's father Zhao Jiaren was purely lucky, not that he had real ability.

After the Battle of the Yellow River, this statement changed 180 degrees. At that time, Taiwei Zhao personally launched and commanded the Battle of the Yellow River, and in just a few months, he not only recaptured Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also completely defeated the 100,000 Mongol army through frontal battles on the Great Plain of Huaxian County. The return of the Yellow River to the north is even more shocking.

After this battle, the original doubts about the retreat of the Mongolian marshal Boyan have now turned into an appreciation for the Mongolian marshal Boyan. The Song army reached the north of the Yellow River, which had an absolute advantage over Mongolia, and was still able to defeat the 100,000 Mongol army, if the Marshal Boyan had a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty in Jiangnan, which had a huge advantage over the Song army, the result was probably that none of the Mongol troops south of the Yangtze River could escape.

Being able to make such a wise judgment proves that the Mongolian marshal Boyan has the right judgment and decisive execution ability. This ability proves that it is not a fluke that Marshal Boyan has achieved the great cause of sweeping Jiangnan, but has real strength and good luck. Now the Great Song Dynasty generally believes that if the left prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty was Zhao Jiaren when the Mongolian army went south, the Mongolian army would not be able to fight so smoothly even if it would not be wiped out.

……

Zhao Qian wrote and painted on paper, writing and painting the history of the Great Song Dynasty and the major events of Zhao Guanren and Zhao Guan's family. Zhao Qian felt dizzy with so many things, he had to push away such a large number of things, stand up and walk out of the house.

It was snowing in the sky, and because there was a brazier in the house, the drowsy brain was exposed to the cold wind, and it was immediately refreshed. Taking advantage of this spirit to think about what he wrote, Zhao Qian still felt that something was wrong. Based on his experience in the army, those ordinary soldiers had no concept of these major affairs of the court and the country. All this is a real thing for Zhao Qian, and all this is far away for ordinary soldiers, especially recruits. They are exposed to content in a very small world. According to Zhao Qian's wife, 'You are not all the way'.

But Zhao Qian's father Zhao Jiaren's statement is also very reasonable, "I can win because there are a large number of officers and soldiers behind me." Without these officers and soldiers, I myself fought with the Mongols, except to surrender or to be killed. ”

Whether it is father or mother, they are all people that Zhao Qian respects very much, and Zhao Qian does not want to deny any of them. In the two seemingly opposing views, Zhao Qian had to choose his own position.

How can I let everyone know about Da Song? Zhao Qian frowned.

Although he was young, the snow in December was not so easy to bear, and it didn't take long for Zhao Qian to run back to the house and bring on the thick cotton boots, cotton coats, cotton hats, and cotton gloves, and then ran out again. With these guys in the body, the snow immediately becomes cute. He simply went straight to the camp. The camp was on the plain, and when I saw it, it was covered in snow. It is very different from the snow scene in Jiangnan.

At this time, many soldiers were pushing snowballs in the open space of the camp, and Zhao Qian also played yesterday. First, a small snowball rolls back and forth on the snow, and this small snowball can stick a lot of snow on its own. The snowball can get bigger and bigger, and finally it can roll into a huge snowball that can be pushed by a few people.

Yesterday, everyone pushed out two super huge snowballs, one large and one small, and the small one has been hoisted up with lifting equipment and erected on top of the big snowball to form a huge snowman. This snowman still learned from the New Year's painting, Zhao Qian couldn't help but didn't dare to say it, he remembered that when he was a child, he was ordered by his father to draw such a snowman with a sketch that he had not studied for a long time, and the model at that time was still built up with two rice balls. Later, this original picture was taken away by Daddy and given to the people below to strengthen.

Now looking at the snowman who lost its cuteness because of its size, and then looked a little hideous, Zhao Qian felt a little uneasy. He bends down and grabs a handful of snow into a snowball, then throws it at the snowman. The snowman was not damaged at all. Instead, the snowball shatters on the snowman and sticks to the snowman. Zhao Qian's heart moved, he felt that he had found out what was the difference between the snow in the south and the snow in the north, the snow in the south seemed to be more 'wet' than the snow in the north, and he kneaded it into a ball hard, and soon melted part of it in his hands. The snow in the north is more 'dry', and the snow that is kneaded is still a snowball, and it doesn't immediately get wet.

It stands to reason that the temperature in the south is warmer than in the north, but in the winter it is warmer in the north. It's a really weird thing.

Thinking about all kinds of strange things in his head, Zhao Qian was not interested in playing in the snow with the soldiers, so he walked back to the house by himself. After entering the door, he saw that the instructor was sitting in his position, pulling the brazier to his feet, and looking at what Zhao Qian wrote while roasting the fire.

Zhao Qian became nervous when he boarded, and he said, "Instructor, you are here." ”

"Hmm." The instructor didn't raise his head in response, and after a while, the instructor still didn't raise his head and said, "You sit first." ”

Zhao Qian sat down a little embarrassed, waiting for the instructor to evaluate what he had written. The instructor quickly read the last few pages and then raised his head and said to Zhao Qian, "You wrote it all yourself?" ”

Isn't that nonsense! Zhao Qian thought in his heart. The highest education in the company is probably Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian's grandfather is a Jinshi, Zhao Qian's father is a Jinshi, as a person from the Jinshi family, Zhao Qian has read many books since he was a child. If these things are all said to be Zhao Qian's own ideas, it may not be, most of the historical materials are written by Zhao Qian from the history books. There is also a part of it that Zhao Qian's father and mother taught him. There is also a part of the content written by Zhao Qian's father.

Although the information was not verified by Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian wrote these things by himself. Regarding the instructor's words, Zhao Qian hesitated for a while before responding: "These are all written by me according to what I remember." Some are in books, some are on paper, and some are spoken by people around me. ”

Hearing this, the instructor said, "Comrade Zhao Qian. Do you know what your problems are? ”

He was so criticized and denied, Zhao Qian's good mood after going out to spread it disappeared, and he asked a little unhappily: "What's the problem?" ”

"You often think that your thoughts should be everyone's thoughts, and when it's time for you to tell your own thoughts, you tend to stay out of it. Just like this time I asked you if you wrote it, and if you really think it's your stuff, then it's easy to say that you wrote it. As for what books you read or who you know, it has nothing to do with that. The instructor's voice was serious.

Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the instructor to say that.
