Chapter 424: Spring Blossoms (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
When Yan Zongxian was sent to the west gate of the West Building with the full moon, he saw that the lanterns were hanging high in front of the door here, the Ming Emperor was dazzling, the traffic was busy, and the canopy was gathered.
When the executioner cut off his tongue, cut off his hands, and finally threw him into the jar that had been prepared long ago, Wanyan Zongxian's wail seemed to resound throughout the Jingshi, and the indescribable pain made Wanyan Zongxian die and come back to life countless times.
In the altar, Wanyan Zongxian, who could not move or speak, was extremely eager for him to die completely, instead of being tortured and miserable all the time.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wanyan Zongxian hoped that the punishment he would receive would be the capital punishment that would supposedly result in 3,600 cuts, because in that case, he would only have to endure three days and three nights before he could die.
If there is a regret medicine in this world, Wanyan Zongxian will definitely not scold Li Cun and provoke Li Cun again, really, borrow him 10,000 guts, he will not dare to do such a stupid thing again.
Wanyan Zongxian thought that he would continue like this until he died completely.
However, Wanyan Zongxian's tenacious vitality allowed him to finally overcome the torture and pain that was worse than death, and he actually survived.
Of course, Wanyan Zongxian also knew that this was only temporary, and he could just survive for a while.
During these extremely painful and helpless days, Wanyan Zongxian couldn't help but begin to reflect on their Jurchens' past behavior.
Wanyan Zongxian recalled that their Jurchens killed the Khitans and robbed the Khitans of gold, silver, cattle and horses, and women.
Destroyed the Qianling Tomb, Xianling Ning Temple, Anyuan Hall and the Imperial Concubine's Shadow Hall of the Liao Dynasty, the ground buildings were burned down, the two tombs were dug up, and the gold, silver and jewelry in them were looted by their Jurchens.
After the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, they Jurchens imposed brutal rule on the Khitans, forcing them to change their religious beliefs and living habits, and even depriving them of their land and property. Many Khitans were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge elsewhere.
Some Khitans were exiled to remote areas by their Jurchens, living in harsh conditions.
Many Khitans were forced to become slaves of their Jurchens, forced to engage in the hardest and most tiring labor, and lived a life worse than death.
And so on and so forth......
They Jurchens are so evil, it is suitable for Cui Li's crazy scheme.
Now, isn't he to blame for such a miserable end for Yan Zongxian?
At this moment, in the face of the sympathy, contempt, or gritted teeth on the faces of those high-ranking officials, nobles, wealthy businessmen and magnates of the Great Qian Dynasty, and became a shameful object for people to see, a deep humiliation and pain appeared in his heart.
But Wanyan Zongxian was not angry at this twisted and cruel human nature, and he was even indifferent to this lively and indifferent world.
Either Caesar or nothing.
Heaven is a good reincarnation, and the sky forgives whom.
He really didn't have the energy to be angry.
Now he can only survive and spend the rest of his painful and humiliating life to atone for the sins he and their Jurchens have committed in the past.
Wanyan Zongxian was sent into the West Building at the full moon.
The first thing that caught Yan Zongxian's eyes was hundreds of singing and dancing beauties with heavy makeup, who gathered under the eaves of the porch like fairies to wait for the guests to summon them.
Wanyan Zongxian has only one big hobby in his life, that is, women.
If it was before, Wanyan Zongxian's gaze would definitely keep looking at the faces and bodies of these beauties, and his soul would be taken away by these beauties.
It's not that Yan Zongxian hasn't seen a beauty, as a member of the Jin family and a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongxian must have seen a beauty, and even had an unpopular beauty, but with so many beauties gathered together, it was the first time he saw it.
The full moon in the West Building seems to be a colorful picture, which makes Wanyan Zongxian dizzy. Among them, countless beauties, dressed in light clothes, are like clouds floating in the air, and the wisps of light yarn swaying with their walking. Their skin is like snow-white porcelain, delicate and smooth, and every inch is filled with a graceful beauty. Their eyebrows and eyes reveal a thousand kinds of style, like stars, beautiful and mysterious. Their slightly raised eyes are as soft as a crescent moon, revealing coquettishness and tenderness. Their clear and bright pupils are like deep lakes, which make people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. Their smiles are like spring flowers, delicate and charming, and each smile seems to melt people's hearts. Their gentle gestures, like catkins flying, graceful and elegant, every movement makes people linger. Their existence, like the clouds in the sky, moves with the wind, unpredictable, fascinating, and unforgettable.
It is impossible for any good woman to be in the full moon in the West Building, and not dream of hugging left and right.
If it hadn't fallen to such a point, these beauties in the West Building with the full moon would definitely be the dream that Wanyan Zongxian pursued all his life, and the dream that he would realize by unscrupulous means.
However, now that the moon is full in the West Building, these beauties are the most unforgettable pain in the depths of Wanyan Zongxian's soul.
Seeing these beauties in the West Tower with the full moon being hugged and kissed by the men of the Daqian Dynasty, Wanyan Zongxian couldn't help but think of his wives and concubines, daughters and women of the clan who entered Li Cun's harem, presumably they are also enjoying themselves under Li Cun now, right?
Most of Wanyan Zongxian's wives and concubines were snatched back by him, and most of the women in his clan were snatched back by him and his clansmen, and even their daughters were born to the women they snatched back.
Now, these women, along with their daughters, have all been robbed by Li Cun.
Wanyan Zongxian only felt that the reincarnation of heaven was unpleasant.
Actually-
Wanyan Zongxian did not regret what he had done. He believes that if he was given another chance, he would still make the same choice. Because he believes that in order for the survival and development of the community, any means are necessary.
Wanyan Zongxian continued to gaze at the beauties in the West Tower with the full moon, reflecting on his sinful life, day after day, month after month......
At first, there were still many people from the Daqian Dynasty who came to watch Wanyan Zongxian, a general of the Jin State who dared to insult their Daqian Emperor in court, and some people even came from afar to watch Wanyan Zongxian.
But after a long time, there are fewer and fewer people who are interested in Wanyan Zongxian.
- People's eyes are quickly attracted to something new.
Slowly, no one paid attention to Yan Zongxian, an outdated person.
In addition, Wanyan Zongxian couldn't speak, and his body couldn't move.
I don't know when people have completely forgotten Wanyan Zongxian, a spectator in the corner of the West Building, who is full moon, and only thinks that the altar he is in is a very ordinary ornament in the West Building.
Until one day, someone smelled a pungent stench, only to find that Wanyan Zongxian had already begun to know when he had ended his sinful life.
In the meantime, a lot has happened.
For example, the Jin State once sent envoys to the Daqian Dynasty to ask why the Daqian Dynasty did not abide by the peace treaty, sent troops to help the Khitans in the Jin Dynasty, killed their Jurchens, and annihilated tens of thousands of troops in their Jin State?
As a result, Li Cun didn't even see the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, so he asked the envoys of the Jin Kingdom to be detained in the post house and put under house arrest.
On the Jin side, seeing that the envoys sent to the Daqian Dynasty have not returned, how can they not know the wolf ambitions of the Daqian Dynasty?
Issuing a war letter to the Daqian Dynasty to declare war?
Of course, the unruly high-level leaders of the Jin Kingdom have such thoughts.
But the problem is that after the battle of Puyu Road, the dilemma of the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army was opened.
The key is that Wan Yanchang and they really can't figure out how the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army, which has been running out of ammunition and food, got so much grain, grass, baggage, weapons and equipment.
The key is that there is no shortage of food, grass, baggage, weapons and equipment, especially the latter's Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army, which can no longer be destroyed by the Wanyan Chang Army, and what's worse is that the Wanyan Chang Department has to prevent being broken by the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army.
And if Wanyan Changbu ignores the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army, the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army will continue to massacre the Jurchens in their hometown.
Actually-
What the high-level leaders of the Jin State really care about is not the killing of the Jurchens by the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army.
There is a misconception.
thought that the Jurchens were a piece of iron.
Actually, this is a big mistake.
The Jurchen people have a wide distribution: they stretch from the Yalu River and the Changbai Mountains in the south, to the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River in the north, and to the Sea of Japan in the east.
It is located between the northeast of Xianzhou (later Liaoning Kaiyuan) and the Shumo River (later Songhua River), and is called "Huiba" (Huiba) with the Huifa River Basin as the center;
Those who live east of the Ussuri River and near the East China Sea (Sea of Japan) are called "East China Sea Jurchens";
The Khitan policy towards the Jurchens was to implement "divide and rule". They deceived the strong surnames of the Jurchens to the Liaodong Peninsula and incorporated them into Khitan nationality, called "Hesu Pavilion" (also known as Hosu Pavilion and Hesu Gon), and these Jurchens were "mature Jurchens".
Another part of the Jurchens stayed in the north of Sumoshui (the northern section of the Songhua River) and the east of Ningjiang Prefecture (later Fuyu County, Jilin), and these people were the "Shengjurchen", the descendants of the Heishui Jin, and they were the main body of the Shengjurchen.
And the Wanyanbu Jurchens are a branch of the Jurchens who gave birth to Jurchens - the Wanyanbu Jurchens originally lived in the upper reaches of the Yalu River and the Tumen River basin, and as a branch of the Heishui Ya, they migrated from the banks of the meandering river to the shore of the Ash River (Acheng District, Heilongjiang).
Moreover, the Jurchens were divided into many tribes.
The Jurchen tribes did not live in peace with each other, and some of the Jurchen tribes did not have a good relationship with each other, and even were still hostile.
Be.
At the beginning, because of the persecution of the Liao people, there was an outstanding politician and military strategist named Wanyan Aguta, and the Jurchens united to resist the tyranny of the Liao State, and even established the Jin State under the leadership of Wanyan Aguta.
But as the Jin Kingdom became stronger, the Jurchens of the Wanyan Department began to eat more and occupy more, especially after Wanyan Agu was killed, Wanyan Wu begged to buy, or Wanyan Kang, all of them were trying to eliminate other Jurchen nobles and establish a highly centralized feudal dynasty.
This caused a large number of Jurchens to leave the Jin Kingdom and return to their hometowns, drawing a line with the Jin Kingdom.
In other words, almost all of the Jurchens currently operating in the Heilongjiang River Valley are Jurchens who are unwilling to submit to the Jin court.
How could the high-ranking people of the Jin Kingdom care about the life or death of these Jurchens.
What the high-level leaders of the Jin State really care about is that the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army has cut off the back road of the Jin State and threatened the security of the Jin State from the rear of the Jin State.
Therefore, if they can, of course, the high-level leaders of the Jin State hope that the Wanyan Changbu can eliminate the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army.
But in retrospect, this is clearly unrealistic.
What's more critical is that the Daqian Dynasty is too powerful, and there is nothing that the Jin State can challenge in terms of military, political, economic, and national strength.
In this case, how dare you let the high-ranking people of the Jin State declare war on the Daqian Dynasty?
There was no way, the high-level officials of the Jin State could only pinch their noses and pretend not to know that the Great Qian Dynasty had made these "small moves", while preventing the cadres of Yue Fei's army from suddenly attacking the Jin State, while continuing to plan how to eliminate the Northeast Anti-Jin Coalition Army, and on the other hand, they hurriedly contacted the grassland tribes and the Western Xia to come to the rib war......
……
No matter how long the winter is, it will pass, just as no difficulty in the world is eternal.
And after the cold winter, it is the season when the spring flowers bloom and the sun illuminates the earth.
It is worth mentioning that in this long cold winter, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Transportation of the Daqian Dynasty completed a miracle.
-- Through the concerted efforts of the officials of all ministries of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Liaoning-Licheng Port passenger dedicated line, which is nearly 1,000 miles long, was opened to traffic.
During the five or six months of winter in northern Mizuchi, such low temperatures are enough to freeze several meters of soil as solid as a rock.
It's good if it freezes like this, like the permafrost of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the railroad can be built on it solidly.
However, when spring comes, the frozen soil in the northern part of Minochi will melt.
Railways in severe cold areas are like being built on ice cream, and when they are civilized, they will turn around and deform. When it freezes again in the following winter, the water in the soil freezes and expands, which further expands the railway bedbed.
In later generations, this repeated cycle was called the "freeze-thaw cycle".
After a few years of freeze-thaw cycles, the railroad tracks can be tossed and bumpy, and in severe cases, a small bump can cause serious safety problems.
In this environment, it is several times more difficult to build a railway than in the south.
The freeze-thaw cycle is like a nightmare, always surround the railway in the alpine region. When the railway bridge crosses the depression, the freeze-thaw cycle will destroy the pier foundation, causing the pier to swell and crack and the strength to be damaged. When the railway passes through the mountains, the freeze-thaw cycle will cause cracks in the tunnel, making the tunnel become a "water curtain cave" in the summer rainy season and an "ice cave" in winter.
Because of the existence of freeze-thaw cycles, the requirements for design, materials, processes and engineering fineness in the alpine region are much higher than those in the general region.
However, it was under such difficult conditions, under the unsparing input of the Daqian Dynasty, and under the condition that the Daqian Dynasty mobilized more than 3 million Goryeo people and more than 2 million Han people from the Daqian Dynasty as rewards with land and high salaries, and invested a total of 5 million people, the Liaoning-Licheng Port passenger line, with a total length of nearly 1,000 miles, was completed.
Of course, most of the railways were laid before the onset of winter – only the northernmost section of the railway in Minoji was laid in the cold of winter.
Now, after the cold winter and the spring is in full bloom, the army of Vagoryeo boarded the Liaoning-Licheng Port passenger line, and easily came from the north of Minochi to the south of Michi, starting the battle of complete conquest of Michi......
