Chapter 694: History of the Song Dynasty (1)

Ying Zheng nodded, immediately changed the topic, and said, "Qin An, I just read the "History of the Song Dynasty" in your study, and I was shocked."

"That book is a book I have read before, the title of the book should be called "A Detailed Explanation of the Song Dynasty", "History of the Song Dynasty" is the title of the book, which tells the story of the Chenqiao Mutiny, the release of military power by a glass of wine, the alliance of Lanyuan, the Jingkang Revolution and other major events, as well as important figures such as Song Taizu, Liao Taizu, Jin Taizu, Song Renzong, Song Zong, Yue Fei, Qin Hui, Wen Tianxiang and other important figures, and historical elaboration of the Yang family generals, Bao Zheng, and the tanuki for the prince in folklore.

You can read it as a history book or as a folk tale.

But, father-in-law, what strikes you?"

Ying Zheng replied, "I am really shocked that the sixteen states of Yanyun were occupied by the Liao State, and the Great Song army was so columbic that they could not recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Not only was I shocked, but I was so angry that I wanted to kill the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty all over again."

Qin An smiled bitterly, "To be honest, not only the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but the entire Great Song Dynasty can be said to be a joke."

"What do you mean by that?" Ying Zheng asked.

Qin An immediately explained, "First of all, the political norm of the Great Song Dynasty turned out to be that the Son of Heaven and the scholars ruled the world together.

To put it simply, it means that the civil officials and the emperor govern the world together, which leads to the fact that no matter what the civil officials do to hurt heaven and reason, they will not die, even including rebellion."

"What?" Ying Zheng was taken aback.

Others were also taken aback, they wouldn't die if they rebelled, this officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was so weird?

Isn't the emperor the most afraid of others sharing power, this fucking emperor actually let the scholars rule the world together, and the world will be ruled together, and all dynasties and dynasties are almost the same.

They are all serving the emperor, the difference is that if you don't do a good job, other emperors will kill you, or even exterminate your nine clans.

But the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will not kill you, and even continue to let you be an official.

Qin An continued, "This is surprised? In the Song Dynasty, the power of civil officials was greater than that of military generals, and at the border passes, the soldiers were hungry, but the civil officials could eat big fish and meat, and they disliked the food was not delicious.

The war was lost, and the military generals were about to be beheaded, but the civil officials only scolded a few words, and the serious ones were only sent to Lingnan and other places, that is, the land of Baiyue, to be a petty official.

However, although the Song Dynasty did not kill civil officials, it would use another method to exhaust civil officials, that is, distribution, such as sending you to Lingnan first, you finally arrived in Lingnan, and you haven't taken a breath, and the imperial court has a will to let you go to other places.

And this distribution is not for you to walk slowly, but there is a time limit, even if there is no time limit, you have to spend money to eat all the way, and if you don't have money to eat, you will not starve to death in the end?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he said angrily: "It's a waste of time, just cut it with a knife."

"So the Great Song Dynasty is very strange, and it's not just that, but also the Great Song Army's army is very weak, so weak that it only takes tens of thousands of horses to wipe out the Song army of a million people.

But the Great Song army can't do it, but the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty are very powerful, and the Great Song Dynasty has been forcibly extended by relying on powerful weapons.

There are also all dynasties and dynasties, the Han people are orthodox, let those foreign races and barbarians bow down to their subordinates, and those who do not accept will beat you until you obey, or even destroy you.

However, the Great Song Dynasty bowed down to those Western Regions, first to the Liao State, then to the Western Xia, the Jin State, and finally to the Mongol State.

In the battle of Song and Liao, the Liao State lost, but the Great Song Dynasty court actually proposed peace and signed the alliance of Lanyuan.

The Liao and Song dynasties were about the country of brothers, Song was the brother, and the Liao was the younger brother, and the Song gave the Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year."

"Incompetence, incompetence." Ying Zheng said angrily, "If you win, you still have to negotiate peace, and you have to pay tribute to the other party every year.

It's a great shame, it's a great shame, why didn't such a Great Song Dynasty perish, it should be erased from history."

"What is this?" Qin An said, "At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin State suddenly rose, and then united with the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao State.

But the Liao State was destroyed

After that, Jin Guo had no worries and began to plan to destroy the Great Song Dynasty. Then there was the unforgettable shame of Jingkang, which led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Jingkang's shame? What is the shame of Jingkang?" Ying Zheng asked.

Everyone also listened carefully, and if the word shame can be used in history, I am afraid that this matter will not be very small.

Qin An explained: "At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin army launched a war against the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song army was defeated, and finally the Jin army came to the city of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

A total of two came to Bianjing City, the first time was said to return a lot of money, the second time was directly broken city, looted a large number of gold and silver treasures, the second emperor of Huiqin was captured, the entire Bianjing was looted.

In addition, a large number of more than 3,000 people from the Zhao royal family, harem concubines, nobles, courtiers, etc., were plundered by the Jin State and went north, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished."

"Waste, what a bunch of waste, the good Great Song Dynasty was destroyed by a group of barbarians. It's a shame for the ancestors." Ying Zheng said angrily.

Li Si found a suspicious point and asked, "Why are there two emperors? Are there two emperors who can't make it?"

Ying Zheng and the others looked at Qin An.

Qin An said: "This is another strange thing, that is, when the Jin soldiers attacked the Great Song Dynasty, Song Huizong saw that the Jin soldiers were like broken bamboos, and the imperial court could not stop them at all, so he gave up the position of the emperor to the crown prince at that time, known as Song Qinzong in history.

So after the Second Emperor was captured, history called it a shame for Jingkang, but you think that this is the end, then you are very wrong."

"Isn't that enough?" Zhang Han said.

The Jin soldiers captured at least 100,000 people, and only half of the people who could reach the capital of the Jin Kingdom alive were not enough, women were violated, no matter what your identity was, even if it was the queen, the queen mother, the princess, and the concubines, they were all tortured inhumanly.

Those who can't get through it, or can't think about it, and don't want to be humiliated are dead.

Even if you survive, you'll still have endless hard work to do."

"What about the two emperors?" Ying Zheng asked.

"They even went through the painful sheep ceremony. The so-called sheep holding ceremony requires the captive to be naked, clothed in sheepskin, and tied with a rope around his neck, to be led like a sheep, which also means to be slaughtered like a sheep.

This was a great humiliation for the second emperor of Huiqin and for the Han people, and those royal ladies were also subjected to the sheep ceremony, and many people couldn't stand it and chose to commit suicide.

This is also an important reason why it is called Jingkang's shame."

"What about the Second Emperor Huiqin? Did they kill themselves?" Ying Zheng asked.

At this time, Ying Zheng longed that the second emperor of Huiqin could commit suicide, but even if they committed suicide, they couldn't wash away their sins.

Qin An shook his head and said, "They are not dead, they still have a hope in their hearts, hoping that someone will come to save them."
