Volume 1: Lin'an Turmoil Chapter 18 Emperor Guangwu of the Great Song Dynasty
Liu Chan led the army to surround Wan Yan Xue, and Wan Yan Xue didn't seem to know it, still beating his war drums.
The sound of the war drums resounded between heaven and earth, and also in the hearts of all people.
Liu Chan bent his bow and arrows, only to hear a loud sound, and the war drum fell to the ground in response.
At this time, Wan Yanxue stopped waving her arms and looked at the place where Jin Bing fell.
"You've lost." Liu Chan opened his mouth lightly, stating the ironclad facts.
Wan Yanxue looked at Liu Chan coldly, now this situation can only be blamed on the fate of heaven is not in the Jurchen.
If the break between Zhao Ying and Liu Chan was a little later, the national strength of the Song Dynasty would have been much lower, and the Jurchens would have more time to develop.
And after Yan Xue didn't calculate it, Zhao Ying would break with Liu Chan directly. This is not reasonable at all, it does not look like the prince of the Song Dynasty royal family at all!
In fact, under normal circumstances, Zhao Ying would not have broken with Liu Chan so quickly. However, Liu Chan had already tested Zhao Ying before.
And Zhao Ying killed Zhang Jun and passed the test, and his bloodiness is naturally far beyond ordinary people.
The Jurchens were defeated not by strength, but by not having enough time.
Although in Liu Chan's view, no matter how much time is given to the Jurchens, it will definitely be the Jurchens who will be defeated in the end.
"In that case, why didn't Your Majesty kill the concubine, do you want to humiliate the concubine?"
"No, you women are really the barbarians who have done the most harm to my Central Plains since the Huns. I respect your strength, so I'm willing to give you a chance. ”
"If you are the dog of the Song people, then Your Majesty should not think about it."
"No, we Song Dynasty people respect the strong the most, and of course we will not humiliate you. Take your people and go west. If you are far away from the Central Plains, you must be at least 10,000 miles away, otherwise don't blame me for sending troops to continue attacking you. ”
The Praetorian Guards were all wiped out, and the Jurchens were left with only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.
"You're going to rewind your decision today."
"I never regret it."
What Liu Chan didn't expect was how much trouble his decision today would cause to the future Song Dynasty.
To the west of the Jurchens, it is naturally Europe. And today's Europe can be said to be a paradise for the ignorant, even if the Jurchens are all old, weak, sick and disabled, they also came out of the Central Plains, a Gu farm, and it is by no means something that today's Europe can resist.
When the Jurchens arrived in Europe, they went to war against a country that they didn't know what to call at the time, and then destroyed that country in World War I. Then recuperate, chase the north, and bring all the countries under his rule along the way.
After decades of hard work, the Jurchens once again became an empire, an empire that spanned three continents: Asia, Europe and Africa. The history books call it the Northern Roman Empire.
Of course, this is all for later, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Wan Yanxue left, preparing to take her people to the north.
Liu Chan looked at Yan Xue's back, and admired this woman very much, if she was born in the Tang Dynasty, she might not be a figure like Wu Zetian.
Liu Chan looked at the soldiers surrounding him, turned his horse to the south, and looked in the direction of the Song Dynasty.
It's time, it's time to start a bloodbath against the Song Dynasty.
Liu Chan's surname is Liu, and he has the blood of the old Liu family in his bones, and cold-bloodedness is synonymous with them. People like his father are outliers of the old Liu family after all.
The old Liu family, who is cruel to the enemy and cruel to his own people, deserves to sit on that throne.
Liu Chan led a large army from north to south, and every time he entered a city, he had to purge the magnates, wealthy merchants, families, and students of a city.
However, it is not all killed, but the guilty, and all those who advocate crooked reasoning are killed.
One city after another was killed, and some cities were closed to prevent Liu Chan from entering, but Liu Chan was the emperor, and anyone who violated Liu Chan's will could be dealt with with by rebellion.
Compared with the population of the entire Song Dynasty, Liu Chan killed very few people, only about one million.
The wealth accumulated in this way, but the land is equivalent to 70% of the entire Song Dynasty, which is already quite exaggerated.
When recovering the land, Liu Chan unexpectedly discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the land annexation of the Song Dynasty was also very serious, but there was no turmoil.
It's incredible, but Liu Chan can't find a reason.
After recovering the land, Liu Chan used money to buy the remaining land of the people, thus bringing all the land in the Song Dynasty under the state ownership.
The people only have the right to use, the right to rent, not the right to own.
This is also what Liu Chan thought of on a whim, thinking that in this way there would be no more land annexation.
As for what will happen in the future, Liu Chan doesn't know.
Subsequently, Liu Chan ordered people to reform Confucianism, requiring them to restore the original image of a chariot in one hand and a book in the other.
After a period of several months, the Song Dynasty finally began to regain its national strength.
Zichen Palace,
Liu Chan looked at Qin Hui indifferently and said, "I really didn't expect you to betray me. ”
"The minister is guilty, please give the minister death immediately."
"Why? You betrayed the Kingdom of Jin first, and then betrayed me. Did I do something sorry for you? ”
"Your Majesty's kindness to your ministers is as heavy as a mountain, and your ministers cannot repay them if they die. The minister implored His Majesty to read the merits of the minister's past merits, not to investigate the cause, and to give the minister the death immediately. ”
Liu Chan glanced at Qin Hui quietly, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Hui was taken down and saw Yue Fei at the corner.
"Yue Fei, I didn't expect it, I will have today." Up to now, Qin Hui still has no deal with Yue Fei.
"Qin Hui, I don't understand, why do you keep targeting me like this."
Hearing this, Qin Hui was a little annoyed and angry, and said, "Because of your eyes, because you look down on me." I can see that you just look down on me. ”
Yue Fei was startled, thinking to himself where this is, but he still admitted: "I really look down on you." ”
From the moment Yue Fei saw Qin Hui, he looked down on Qin Hui a little, and Qin Hui also knew about it.
"Hey, I didn't expect the fate of the two of us to come to this end in the end, say goodbye."
"Farewell."
When Liu Chan saw Yue Fei coming, he sat down and asked what was going on.
"Back to Your Majesty, the first emperor was sent back. According to Emperor Xian, everything that happened in the Northland had nothing to do with him, and it was all the work of the Golden Vultures. I look at the expression of the first emperor, and this statement is not false. ”
If it weren't for Zhao Heng's bitter pleading, Yue Fei didn't want to come to see Liu Chan, after all, Liu Chan's cold-bloodedness was known to everyone.
"He was named the king of Shu and imprisoned in Jiankang. As long as he doesn't go out of Jiankang, everything is up to him. ”
Yue Fei didn't expect Liu Chan to say this, what's the matter, Your Majesty, you have changed your temperament and won't kill you.
Liu Chan was also a little tired, and he didn't want to care about his straw bag brother anymore.
"But Liu Yu has been named the king of Shu by you before."
"Then let's be named King Wu."
Qin Hui was killed, the first emperor was deposed, and the Song Dynasty finally ushered in the long-awaited peace.
A year later, Liu Chan felt that with his martial arts, although he could not be ranked with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Taishan Fengchan should have a chance.
So he mentioned it occasionally, and then after being reminded, he flipped through the history books, and finally was forced to cancel Mount Tai for unknown reasons.
Later, Liu Chan often went to Mount Tai to wander around, but he just didn't go up, giving historians infinite fantasies.
In this way, sixteen years have passed.
During these sixteen years, the Song Dynasty recuperated and occasionally went to war against the Western Liao and the Mongols. After sixteen years of hard work, Western Liao and Mongolia were already on the verge of extinction.
And in this year, Liu Chan finally felt tired and wanted to abdicate.
Or that he has wanted to abdicate for a long time, but he can't find a suitable candidate.
And now, Zhao Chen has finally grown up.
On the day Zhao Chen was made the crown prince, Zhao Ying appeared and rebelled. However, unfortunately, the Song Dynasty is no longer the Song Dynasty it once was.
The moment Zhao Ying rebelled, he was captured by the local people and sent to Lin'an.
Liu Channian and Zhao Ming's past kindness did not kill him, but was confined to Jiankang and was not allowed to go out.
That is, after capturing Zhao Ying for a year, Liu Chan gave up the throne to Zhao Chen, and then went around with Wu Guifei.
After another few decades, Liu Chan was dying of old age, and finally came to the end of his life.
He stretched out his trembling hand and stroked Wu Guifei's face: "I'm sorry for you." ”
is bitter because Wu Guifei has been with him for so long and has never been named queen; is bitter because he wants to go one step ahead of Concubine Wu.
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter. The concubine was lucky to be able to meet His Majesty and be able to accompany His Majesty for so many years. ”
Liu Chan smiled slightly, and his arm slipped weakly.
In the fifteenth year of Longxing, Liu Chan died of illness in Lin'an at the age of eighty-one.
Zhao Chen buried Liu Chan in Yongsi Mausoleum, the temple number is Shizu, and the name is Emperor Guangwu.
