Chapter 99: History of the Great Song Dynasty of Shenwu
More than 100 years ago, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu hung the point, and his nickname was: The body should be the Emperor of Longgong, Shengde, Xianwen, Su Wurui, Shengxuanxiao!
According to the records of normal history books, the next should be after Song Shenzong and Song Zhezong, who are also very long, ascended to the throne and hung up, Song Weizong and Song Qinzong, who left a deep shameful memory in history, came to power, and then tried to join forces with the rising Jin State to attack the declining Liao State, and recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun but was embarrassed for various reasonsto death, or become the plaything of the barbarians of the Jin State to bully and humiliate, and to buy and sell, and lose a large amount of land and property and the "shame of Jingkang".

The normal development of the ensuing should be that the Southern Song Dynasty, which also remembered but did not remember the fight, when the Mongols on the steppe rose a few decades later, they also tried to contact the Mongols to attack the declining Jin State, and washed away the "Jingkang shame" encountered, but encountered the more powerful Mongolian iron cavalry that swept to Europe, Central Asia, and India, and finally was finally swallowed up by the Yuan Dynasty in the rising period in the process of continuous self-inflicted death and internal friction.
But in this dimensional world, after Song Yingzong hung up, it was a different emperor who came to power.
After that emperor died, he was nicknamed "Tianyuan Unification Shenjian Wuxun Supreme Qinren Shengxiao Emperor" (referred to as Emperor Shenwu), and you can generally see what kind of ruthless character this Emperor Shenwu is. And when the Jin State was just showing its head, the Liao State was in a slow decline, and Emperor Shenwu, who had just inherited the throne for a short time, began to brake the Song Dynasty's strange military brake!
The military system of the Song Dynasty in this plane, to be honest, has not changed much, and it is still a strange tripartite combination of the forbidden army, the box army and the township soldiers.
As the main force and well-equipped forbidden army, it was used to gather the young and strong refugees and the box army that set up local guards, and then it was basically a temporary township army, and the three parts of more than one million troops (during the Song Weizong and Song Qinzong periods, almost more than two million) constituted the entire military force of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The problem is that the wealth level of the Song Dynasty is absolutely super-first-class, but it is a pity that the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin is a military general who belongs to the meritorious master to seize power, and the famous example of "yellow robe plus body" is placed in front, so that the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin and the subsequent emperors are strictly guarded against the generals in charge of the army, and even do not hesitate to belittle the honor of the generals and soldiers, and raise the status of civil officials in the imperial examination, etc., sacrificing the combat effectiveness of the army, to ensure that there will not be a second "yellow robe" latecomer.
As a result, more than a hundred years of peace, coupled with laxity and many situations of party strife in the court, so that the Song Dynasty (at least the late Northern Song Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty) force value showed a trend of straight line diving, when Emperor Shenwu just came to power, the forbidden army stationed around Bianliang could not fight, and the remaining few with combat effectiveness were mostly the border troops close to the Western Xia side!
At a time when the border army still had a certain combat effectiveness, and the other forbidden armies, the box army, and the township soldiers were inferior to each other, Emperor Shenwu, who had just come to power, did not rashly start, but began to win over the border troops with combat effectiveness, and then took the initiative to make military adjustments.
Draw the elite of the border army and the forbidden army to exchange with each other!
Elevate the status of military generals and the army, and start fighting with civilian factions!
Clean up the parts of the forbidden army that have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and begin to reorganize the forbidden army that is truly combat-effective......
Anyway, in the memory of the "prince and prince", in the records secretly recorded in the family, for two years, Emperor Shenwu used various means to suppress the strength of the civil official faction, so that the martial arts family, which was about to be raised as pigs at that time, began to rise, and the collection of the forbidden army and the border army was very successful, and firmly held the strength of the army in his hands.
Emperor Shenwu's next action was not to continue to suppress the short-dormant civilian faction, but to personally give orders to the border army defending the Western Xia Grass Valley, and began a multi-year campaign against the Western Xia side.
I have to say that after deducting the blind command of the emperor, civil officials and eunuchs above, the emperor personally expressed support for the border army, and all kinds of grain and grass and rewards were not lacking, the border army of the Song Dynasty still showed a relatively capable posture, and the tug-of-war for several years was down, and the Song Dynasty, which was not too big and wealthy, was dragged down by the Western Xia, which was not too big, and the party clan was even treated as a slave trade, and the horse farm and horses made up for the lack of cavalry in the Song Dynasty!
The most important thing is that the battle of the demise of Western Xia successfully made the prestige of Emperor Shenwu rise significantly, and even approached Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty, and then the meritorious generals were crowned marquis and rewarded, and successfully began to determine the promotion of the status of martial artists. And unswervingly supported the border army, so that the border army later broke through the Western Xia king's capital and destroyed his country!
Similarly, in those years, the Liao State was not watching the Song Dynasty destroy the Western Xia, but the first two years were still watching the lively Liao State and found that the Song Dynasty under the command of Emperor Shenwu actually did not produce those blind commanders and what kind of demon moths that dragged their feet, and it was really possible to destroy the Western Xia, and when they were ready to intervene in it to prevent the Song Dynasty from succeeding, they had lost the best time to do it.
As soon as the Western Xia was hung up, Emperor Shenwu began to reward generals and soldiers in a big way, and the means of rewarding the marquis and the army to parade through the streets were carried out one by one, and with many follow-up actions, the martial arts of the Song Dynasty were forcibly improved!
By the time the Liao State continued to decline, and the leader of the Jurchen tribe, the founding emperor of the Jin State, Wanyan Aguta, began to rise, the Northern Song Dynasty had already lifted the surrounding Western Xia and Tubo threats, and then Emperor Shenwu first sold a lot of old ordnance to the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong and other places by sea ships, so that when the Jurchen tribes beat the Liao State expeditionary army to an embarrassment, he turned around and sold more ordnance materials to the Liao State in the bitter war, and then recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun at a critical time, completely completing the unification of the key key areas in the north. occupied the initiative when competing with Liao.
In the following decades of warfare, during the reign of Emperor Shenwu, the Western Xia and Dali were destroyed, and the Tubo tribes were severely damaged and surrendered, and even the Song army restored the territory of the Song Dynasty all the way to the former Tang Dynasty Western Regions Protectorate area, and even directly opened up the region of Central Asia and India from the land, plus the maritime trade that has been said to have arrived in Europe and Africa, the Song Dynasty can now be said to have reached its peak of prosperity. The Liao State, which still exists today, was forcibly suppressed outside the Guan, and the Liao State, which had recovered part of its combat effectiveness, even occupied part of the grassland, but it obediently bowed to the Song Dynasty and started trade with the steppe nomads who had not formed a joint force, under the Tibetan Buddhism that had been introduced to the grassland and outside the Guan.
If that's all there is to it, probably Wang Chen is not very good at confirming the specific situation of this dimensional world!
However, in the memory of that "prince and prince", the martial arts that are prevalent in this plane world, and there are martial arts masters who are enough to defeat a hundred, it is determined that this should be a martial arts plane world.
The key information is that in the era of Emperor Shenwu, the king of the Southern Court of Liao, who saved a lot of territory in the Liao State and defeated the Jurchen tribes, was called Xiao Feng? And still use the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descendant? The secret record of the Hou Mansion said that the previous situation of the king of the Southern Courtyard was actually the leader of the beggar gang here in the Song Dynasty? Just this piece of information made countless divine beasts in Wang Chen's heart rush by!
Not only is it the very familiar Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard, but also the martial arts that are prevalent in this plane world and some of the Jianghu sects that even the "prince and prince" know, such as the beggar gang that has greatly weakened its power and powerlessness since the era of Emperor Shenwu, and its eighteen palms of dragon descending that are full of taboo meaning to the royal family were included in the vault of the Great Song Dynasty, Shaolin, which was suppressed by Emperor Shenwu and Buddhism and levied taxes on Buddha and Taoism again, and the world-famous seventy-two stunts, and the Southern Manichaeism and the Golden Sword of the Heavenly King, which had been in chaos in the later period of Emperor Shenwu but were easily exterminated. There is also the Song Dynasty imperial court by the professional martial arts of the Tianwu Division, and it is said that the great eunuch who served as a monitor is good at martial arts is extremely ghostly, known as the sunflower treasure book, was ordered to submit to the Tibetan tribes in the era of Emperor Shenwu, and now it has been promoted to Tibetan Buddhism outside the customs and grasslands, it is said that its widely spread Dharma protection exercises, is called the dragon elephant Praruo Gong, Dali destroyed the country of Duan's good at a yang finger and six veins of the sword......
……
"T.M.D! If there is nothing wrong with the Shenwu Emperor of this plane, I will eat all the martial arts novels and history books of the Jin Yong series!"
After sorting out the history of Emperor Shenwu of the Great Song Dynasty in his memory, as well as the secret information about the Hou Mansion in his mind, the first thought that popped up in Wang Chen's mind was that this world was really a mess.
I'll it, this is obviously the plane world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, right?!
It should be "Dragon Babu" or the plane world of Jin Yong's martial arts, right? Right?!
However, what the hell is Emperor Shenwu now? What the hell does Liao still exist? The Great Song Dynasty occupied the entire world, and it is even said that it may expand and colonize Central Asia, India and even the South Seas, so it should be possible to connect "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" now? There is also a follow-up to the Condor trilogy......
Wang Chen, who was complaining in his heart, now gathered his mentality, and explained the general situation of this dimensional world to Poison Island Renzi and Saya Takajo, and emphasized that this is a martial arts world that may be chaotic!
"Chen, you say that the world doesn't develop according to the situation of the novel?"
I don't know the specific situation of the Song Dynasty and Jin Yong's martial arts novels, but I only know a general history, but Saya Gaocheng didn't get so entangled with Wang Chen, but directly asked the key question.
"That's right! There are some martial arts in this world that seem familiar, but they don't match the situation of the novel at all. ”
Regarding Saya Gaocheng's question, as well as the gaze of Poison Island Tsuneko, Wang Chen spread his hands a little helplessly, and said very simply: "Perhaps, to put it more simply, I think that this dimensional world is in line with the content of martial arts novels that I know, except for some situations, don't expect anything else, treat it as a strange world!"
"So, what do we do now?"
Poison Island didn't quite understand the various grievances contained in Wang Chen's words, and directly asked the key question.
"How? Of course, let's go to the library of the Hou Mansion first!"
