Chapter 52 The Southern Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom should be peaceful, and the Central Plains Hudi should be divided into Yanshan
"When the Ten Kingdoms were weakened or self-preservation, the Later Jin in the north was also repeatedly uneasy because of the threat of the Khitan State. At that time, the Later Jin Dynasty was newly established, the finances were scarce, the Khitan was insatiable, and the feudal towns were unwilling to obey. In order to solve the financial crisis, Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty adopted Sang Weihan's suggestion to pacify the feudal towns, respect the Khitan, and emphasize agriculture and commerce to improve the economy. Although the Khitan state was pacified, officials from the original Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, such as Wu Luan and Guo Chongwei, were disgraced and unwilling to surrender to the Khitan. The feudal towns in various regions almost did not obey the imperial court, and some even intended to win over the Khitan State in order to seize the throne, which depended on Du Chongwei, Li Shouzhen and others to calm down.
"Fan Tingguang, the Tianxiong Army (i.e., Wei Bojun), rebelled against Weizhou, and Zhang Congbin, who went to quell the rebellion, also surrendered to him, and killed Shi Chongxin and Shi Chongyi, the sons of Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Finally, when the Fan Zhang coalition army approached Kaifeng, it was defeated and pacified by the army led by Lai Houyi and Du Chongwei. Yang Guangyuan intervened in the government with heavy troops, and the Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty often submitted to him, and later colluded with the Khitan rebellion and was defeated by Li Shouzhen and died. ”
After the Jin Dynasty replaced the Liao Dynasty, it began to follow the five capitals of Liao, and the five capitals of the Jin State were mostly inherited from the Liao Dynasty system, and there were changes in the middle, and the generally accepted saying was that at first it was Shangjing, Tokyo, Xijing, Nanjing, and Beijing, and after King Hailing moved the capital, it was Zhongdu, Tokyo, Xijing, Nanjing, and Beijing. That is to say, the Jin State once built six capitals, for Shangjing Huining Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, Beijing Dading Mansion now Daming Town), Xijing Datong Mansion, Zhongdu Daxing Mansion, Nanjing Kaifeng Mansion.
"Shangjing is the land of the dragon of the Jin Kingdom, after the Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the prosperous Kaifeng City was looted, all kinds of treasures and antiques were brought to Shangjing, after Jin Xizong ascended the throne, the process of sinicization began, and Shangjing also has a number of official residences and gardens that imitate the Central Plains architecture.
"However, Shangjing has suffered a destruction, and the king of Hailing has finished Yan Liang, who has destroyed Shangjing while moving the capital to Yanjing, which may indicate the determination to never turn back in the process of sinicization. Later, although Shangjing was restored to the status of the capital through preferential treatment of the clan and measures to strengthen military equipment, the role of Shangjing was limited to the symbolic sense of improving national identity such as sacrifices, and of course, Shangjing is still the economic, political, and cultural center of the Northeast region at the moment.
And the main reason why Wan Yan Liang wants to move the capital is that the palaces, pavilions, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and streets and alleys of Huining Mansion in Shangjing all leave traces of Jin Xizong. He wanted to move the capital to ensure the safety of the throne.
In the process, there were many henchmen and old ministers during the reign of Wanyan Kang, who were unwilling to move the capital away from Huining, and opposed it. On the grounds that the capital is "secluded in a corner, it is difficult for the officials to lose, and it is difficult for the people to go to the lawsuit", he tried his best to overcome public opinion and ordered Lu Yanlun and others to rebuild Yanjing in three years. Now that the capital is about to be moved, Huining will be sealed in Beijing sooner or later because of its expenses. ”
Wanyan Liang really moved the capital to Youzhou in the fifth year of Tiande next year, and in August of the second year of Zhenglong four years later, he ordered the revocation of the Yamen of the Shangjing Left-behind Division, and the title of Shangjing was abolished, only called Huining Mansion, and sent Xiao Yanliang of the Ministry of Officials to supervise the old palace, the temple, the mansions of the great clans and the royal temple Chuqing Temple, razed it to the ground, and left it to be cultivated, leaving no traces. He does things neatly and neatly, which is a later story, not to mention.
Xin Zanyue said that the more worried his face became: "As mentioned above, Wan Yanliang will never move the capital south for no reason, he must covet the rest of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not stop at the strict sinicization." He has been unsubmissive for a long time, and he has wolf ambitions. Long before ascending the throne, he tasted Gao Huaizhen's words and aspirations, and said, 'I have three aspirations: all major national affairs are self-explanatory, and one is also.' The handsome division invaded the country, and the ruler of the country was held to ask the guilt in the front, and the two were also. Won the world's best and wife, three also. Among them, 'the handsome master invades the country, and the ruler asks the guilt in the front', Jin Guo did it as early as the Jingkang period, and now he is still thinking about it, and the shame of Jingkang and the pain of breaking the country in the Great Song Dynasty are going to come again. Isn't it too stupid for Da Song Ruo to only hold the Shaoxing peace conference, relax and slack, and think that he can sit back and relax?
"Soon after he usurped the throne, he wrote, 'Thousands of miles of cars and books are mixed, how can there be other frontiers in Jiangnan?' Raise millions of troops on the West Lake, and immediately the first peak of Wushan! Although his poems are agitated and heroic, they are clearly determined to be "one family in the world", and they want to provoke an unprovoked war between Song and Jin, and the world will inevitably be devastated.
"I heard that he read Liu Yong's "Wanghai Tide", and was very envious of the southern scenery of 'three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus', and he had already built the capital Bianliang Kaifeng and crossed the south to invade the south.
"In the long run, the move of the capital to Kaifeng is only a little slow, but it will never give up, and there will be changes in a few years. It is bound to be when Wan Yanliang is about to invade the south, and he must investigate when and how to move in time, so as to prepare a countermeasure as soon as possible. ”
The three of them passed through the city, although they did not walk around, but they could feel the prosperity of Youzhou through Nanjing, Liaoguo, and then after Yan Liang arranged for Lu Yanlun and others to rebuild it in three years, its incomparably majestic and solemn, majestic atmosphere.
Xin Zan walked in the middle of it, and couldn't help but say: "Youzhou really belongs to the realm of smoke and haze, the court of arrogance, has always been a tiger in the dragon plate, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yan Zhao and the Xiongnu fought here.
"The people here are fierce, the martial style is prevalent, and the iron cavalry has been abundant since ancient times. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zhan relied on a world-famous cavalry unit under his command - Baima Yicong, which was not very strong in the original situation, but it was not easy to create a foundation in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Hu Benlang general Luo Yi was jealous of his colleagues Zhao Shizhu, He Lanyi and other generals, so he simply opened a warehouse and released grain to reward the army and help the people, won the whole city of soldiers and people, and controlled the entire Youzhou, and then proclaimed himself 'Youzhou Governor', and since then he has been self-reliant, until the third year of Tang Gaozu Wude, and returned to the Tang Dynasty.
"In the fourteenth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan rioted in Youzhou, all the way like a bamboo, broke through Chang'an and Luoyang, and established a pseudo-Yan, with the name of Shengwu, known as 'Anshi Rebellion' in history. Although An Lushan was finally killed by his son and the rebellion was put to rest, the Tang Dynasty also turned from prosperity to decline.
"During the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, Shi Jingjiao, the general of the Later Tang Dynasty, was suspicious of the Li royal family in the court, and in order to protect himself, he seized the power of the Li family, asked for help from the Khitan, and called Liao Taizong the 'father emperor', and finally the sixteen states of Youyun were ceded to the Khitan. After Liaojin to the present, the Central Plains Dynasty has since lost Youzhou, the Central Plains barrier. Although the Great Song Dynasty had a link to destroy Liao in the middle, and the Central Plains army was able to enter for a short time, it was quickly lost, which caused the difficulty of Jingkang, and it was not a real recovery.
"Youzhou is famous for its ancient history. The administrative office is located near Guang'anmen in the southwest. The case "Yu Gong" Jizhou domain, Shun placed twelve herds, then one of them. "Zhou Li": "The Northeast is called Youzhou. "Spring and Autumn Yuan Life Package" cloud: "Jixing is scattered into Youzhou and is divided into Yan Kingdom. "It is said that the north is too yin, so it is called the netherworld. Since ancient times, Youzhou has been a place of beauty, and Youzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu and the thirteen thorn history departments of the Han Dynasty; During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was an important military town, a transportation center and a commercial metropolis in the north. The definition and jurisdiction of Youzhou have changed over the years, but the core area of Youzhou has not changed."
Xin Zan said again: "Can push me to the position of Kaifeng prefect, this Cai Songnian is really powerful." It's just a pity that I'm too old, and I'm a grandfather who gave up his illness, so I'm afraid that I will do things in the future. "
"The Jin State implements the Meng'an Moke system, with the Jurchens in charge of the army and the Han people in charge. I am old and in poor health, so I will do what I can to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the court of the whole country will not do anything to me.
"Meng'an and Mouke were originally tribal organizations of the Jurchens at the end of the clan society, and they were established by blood ties. This kind of organization is organized according to the position of the Shiwu, so it has the titles of Wu Chang (Strike), Shi Chang (Holding the Banner), Mouke (Centurion), Meng'an (Thousand Commanders) and so on. According to the Jurchen semantics, Meng'an means thousand, which originally referred to the commander of a thousand households; Mok means clan, patriarch. After the transformation of the Jurchen tribes from blood organization to regional organization, the meaning of township and town chief was born, and then extended to centurion and hundred-household chief. Meng'an and Moke were originally simple hunting organizations, and later became peacetime hunting and wartime combat organizations. In the year before Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta established the Jin Dynasty, in line with the trend of the historical development of the Jurchen people, he reformed the original organization of Meng'an and Mouke, so that it broke through the blood relationship.
"Wanyan Aguta stipulates that the household is the unit of calculation, with 300 households as a mok, and the centurion as the leader. Ten moograms are a fierce peace, and a thousand commanders are the leaders. Due to the implementation of the system of integrating the soldiers and the people of "the strong are all soldiers", Meng'an and Mouke are not only military organizations, but also local administrative organizations, called Meng'an and Moukehu, and gradually become the grassroots social organizations of the Jurchen people. The system has the characteristics of the integration of administration, production and military. In wartime, people under the Meng'an and Mouke systems were engaged in all kinds of labor, and in wartime they had to accept conscription, buy their own saddle horses and weapons to go to war, and their families still had to stay at home to carry out production.
"As a kind of grassroots organization and system created by the Jurchens, Meng'an and Mouke played an active role in the early stage. Later, however, because the Jurchen Meng'an and Mouke households scattered in various places often rented their fields to Han tenant farmers for farming, collected land rent, and even seized people's land by taking advantage of their power, neither engaged in production nor neglected military training, and the combat effectiveness of Meng'an and Mouke gradually weakened.
"Abandon the disease, although you will let go and do things boldly in the future, you must not worry about me, otherwise it will be even more unfilial. It would be better if a young person who could hide his identity could be sent to the post of Kaifeng prefect! After speaking, I couldn't help but sigh again. In fact, what Xin Zan is worried about, Cai Songnian is not unthinking, but where to find a better candidate than Xin Zan for a while, it is a fly in the ointment.
And Huaiying and Qijian listened to it, and felt that the old man was loyal to the Central Plains, without the slightest reservation and hesitation, which was really very admirable.
The three of them went to the nearest hotel to rest. Early the next morning, I immediately boarded the journey and passed directly through Zhongjing, but I didn't stay here too long. The three of them rode their horses so fast all the way that they had already walked more than eighty miles before noon.
Several people were in a hurry, but they saw a small forest thirty or forty steps ahead, and more than a dozen young men and women next to them, dressed in different makeup, all of them were sad, and there were faint sobbing sounds. Xin Zan was very puzzled, knowing that it was inconvenient to peep more, and was about to take a detour to walk away, when he suddenly saw one of the middle-aged women walking slowly towards him, and when he looked closely, the person was also looking at him from a distance, and the closer they got, the more surprised they became.
The person who came was delicate, with crescent eyebrows and big eyes, it turned out to be a beautiful woman about thirty years old, but with tears in her eyes, she was emotional, looking at Xin Zan and whispering "Daddy", and hurriedly said: "I just looked at the resemblance, thinking it was just a dream, and it was really your old man who arrived so coincidentally!" You and Cheng Yin, abandon the disease, hurry back a few more steps, let's stay away from the pile of people and talk. ”
Xin Zan saw her sad face and lonely attitude, and the surprise of seeing her was just a flash, and she couldn't help but feel distressed, and hesitated: "We obviously avoid them, isn't it more suspicious?" ”
The woman shook her head and said, "They all know that I have come to deal with very secret matters, and when they meet you or others, they can only discuss quietly. Even I am not half sure that I will meet you, and others will never think of it, and besides, they are not outsiders. It's just that our words are secret, but we must not let them hear them, and we still have to go a little farther. ”
Xin Zan turned his body and walked back, Qi Ji heard the conversation just now, he was stunned, he was already grabbed by Cheng Yin's right hand and dragged back, and several people walked back dozens of steps.
Xin Zanfu stood still, and immediately asked the woman, "You just walked over directly, did you see us in advance?" ”
The woman bowed her head, as if she was in a difficult situation, hesitated for a moment, and said, "No, I am currently in the midst of an extremely important and difficult matter, and I am asking for help, and when I saw a few of you, I came over." Although we know that your old man is coming recently, we don't know when we will come, and we never want to meet here, and we don't think that God has eyes! ”
After saying that, he walked towards the abandonment of the disease, put his hands on his left and right shoulders, and reluctantly smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, the abandonment of the disease has grown so tall, and I don't call my aunt when I see it, I don't know my aunt anymore?" ”
