Great time travel

Chapter 2, The Elegy of Chinese Civilization
In the first year of Jingkang in the Great Song Dynasty (1126), in the middle of the night on November [-]th, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Tokyo" Bianliang (that is, Kaifeng).

Amidst the blizzard and snowstorm, this great city with a population of one million is in the midst of a miserable battle.

In the city of Bianjing shrouded in the night, every family turned off their lights and closed their doors.Zhouqiao Night Market, once brightly lit like the Milky Way, and Fanlou, where singing and dancing sounded all night, are all hidden in the darkness.Only the firelight on the city wall reflected the shadows of the trees dancing around and cast them on the lifeless houses.

Except for the occasional night watchmen, this once brightly lit oriental metropolis is now as quiet as a dead city.

——No one would have thought that just two years after the old enemy of the north, the Liao Kingdom, was destroyed and the old land of Yanyun was restored, the prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty would follow in the footsteps of the old enemy, the Liao Kingdom, in the blink of an eye It has fallen to the point where the territory is broken and the capital is in danger!

And all of this happened because of an unknown wild small tribe in the frontier between the white mountains and the black waters more than ten years ago.

In the spring of 1114 AD, Jurchen chief Wanyan Aguda could not bear the oppression of the Khitan court, so he rebelled against the Liao Dynasty and repeatedly defeated the Khitan army.

In 1115 A.D., Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom used all his soldiers to conquer the Jurchen rebels.Unexpectedly, during the Battle of Hubu Dagang, the entire Khitan army collapsed, and their corpses lay hundreds of miles away. Emperor Tianzuo fled in haste and fled.

Seeing such a new force rising in Haidong and smashing the old enemy Liao to pieces, the Song court couldn't help cheering, thinking that it would take the opportunity to contact the Jurchen, attack the Khitan people from the north and the south, and realize the long-cherished wish of recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun .

Soon after, the Song and Jin countries signed the "Alliance on the Sea", agreeing that the Jin army would go west and the Song army would go north to carve up the Liao Kingdom together.

However, although the offensive of the Jin army was unparalleled, it successively conquered Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places in the Liao Kingdom.The Northern Expedition of the Song Army was extremely ineffective. The commander Tong Guan was incompetent and his command was absurd. The generals of the various ministries were also full of contradictions. They were easily defeated by the remnants of the Liao people twice before and after.In the end, it was the Jin army who took the first step to knock down the pass and go south and invaded Yanjing, making the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty a complete joke.

In order to cover up the tragic military failure, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to bite the bullet and send envoys to negotiate, and spent a large sum of money and cloth to redeem the city of Yanjing from the Jin army, which finally regained the land of Yanyun in name. There is no bamboo basket to fetch water.

However, when Song Huizong, who had a swollen face and made a fat man, held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs of Bianliang, and boasted to his ancestors of his "excellent martial arts" that he directly restored Yanyun's hometown, he didn't know that he was about to become a Jurchen cavalry next prey.

In the spring of 1125 AD, Emperor Tianzuo, the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was captured by Jin soldiers in Yingzhou, and the Liao Kingdom officially perished.However, before the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty had time to celebrate the annihilation of their old enemy, they were horrified to find that after the Jurchens wiped out the Liao Dynasty, they immediately turned their targets of invasion to the Song Dynasty without stopping!
In October 1125 AD, the Kingdom of Jin invaded south from east and west.The West Route Army led by Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) entered Taiyuan.The Eastern Route Army was led by Wanyan Zongwang (Wolibu) to enter Yanjing.The two groups of Jin soldiers plan to meet up in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo, and destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop!
Zong Han's West Route Army got off to a bad start. Although they reached the city of Taiyuan all the way, the city of Taiyuan, which Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Zhi led the troops to defend, became a stumbling block in the eyes of the Jin people, and it was difficult to attack for several months.However, Zongwang's East Route Army was in full swing—as soon as Zongwang arrived in Yanjing, the Song Dynasty defenders immediately defected and surrendered.The Jin soldiers took the opportunity to drive south and sweep Hebei. Under the attack of tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers, hundreds of thousands of Song troops either surrendered or collapsed at the first touch.In the midst of successive victories, the Jin army made great strides towards Bianliang, Tokyo at an astonishing speed.The cowardly Emperor Huizong panicked when he heard the news, and even wanted to abandon the country and flee south.However, most courtiers strongly opposed to fleeing, and advocated the appointment of prestigious officials and insisted on sticking to it.

In the midst of this chaos, Huizong passed the throne to the crown prince, while he himself retreated to the second line.In December, Prince Zhao Huan (Qinzong) ascended the throne, and changed the year name to Jingkang next year.Huizong abdicated and took the title of "Emperor Daojun" and "Emperor Supreme". He fled from Beijing to Jiangnan.

At this time, due to the defense chaos caused by the alternation of power, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River almost without resistance.In desperation, Song Qinzong, who had just ascended the throne, ordered Li Gang, the minister of the main combat faction, to arrange the defense of Tokyo City.Li Gang, who was ordered in danger, used the "hundred-step method" to divide his troops to prepare for the defense on the four walls of the capital. There were 2000 regular soldiers on each wall, 4 people in the front and back, and 8000 people in each army. Guard the granary outside the east gate, and the rear army guards Fanjiagang outside the east gate.Equipped with various defensive weapons and tools, the preliminary preparations for war were completed within four days.

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army had already arrived at the city of Tokyo. While plundering villages and towns in the suburbs of Beijing, they dispatched a group of Jin soldiers with dozens of fireboats down the river to attack Xuanzemen.Li Gang sent 2000 daredevils to the city, set up enemy ships with long hooks, and threw stones at them.They also placed branches in the middle stream to move the rocks in Cai Jing's house to block the doorway.In this battle, the Song army beheaded more than a hundred Jin soldiers in the water, and finally temporarily defeated the arrogance of the Jin soldiers.

Next, Qin Wang soldiers and horses from all over the Song Dynasty came to aid Tokyo one after another.There are more than [-] in total, including top famous generals such as the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, Zhong Shidao, while the total number of Jin soldiers around Bianliang is only [-].

Zongwang saw that the Song army was numerous and Bianjing was difficult to attack, so he had to withdraw the barracks to the north, not daring to move lightly.But Emperor Qinzong, who was also very weak, did not take the opportunity to defeat the enemy to establish his prestige. Instead, he proposed to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan to seek peace.

——No matter how ugly the battle was, the Northern Song Dynasty finally survived the first defense of Tokyo and won a period of respite.

However, in the next year, Song Qinzong and his cronies fully demonstrated the poor qualities of civil war experts and foreign war laymen, and further played a bad hand that was already bleak to the point where it was completely impossible to deal with it. The state of affairs - internally disregarding the relationship between father and son, brazenly imprisoning the Supreme Emperor, provoking large-scale party disputes and civil and military discord, causing the court to be divided; After a while, they sent envoys to beg for mercy from the Jin people, cede land and offer bribes... The result not only angered the Jurchens, but also chilled the hearts of the Song soldiers, and seriously consumed the Song army in a series of innocent battles. The effective force greatly weakened the defensive force of the capital.

In August of the first year of Jingkang, Jin Taizong once again launched a large army to attack the Song Dynasty after a lapse of ten months.The Jin army in the second southern expedition still took Wanyan Zongwang as the left deputy marshal and Wanyan Zonghan as the right deputy marshal, and marched in two routes from east to west.At the beginning of September, Taiyuan, which had been besieged by the Jin soldiers for 250 days, was finally captured by the Jin army when foreign aid failed and there was no food and grass. The guards in the city either died in battle or committed suicide, and none of the residents survived.

After the fall of Taiyuan, Zong Han no longer had any worries, so he divided his troops to occupy Fenzhou, Jinzhou, and Shouyang.And Zongwang also defeated the troops commanded by Zhong Shimin and Zhong Yansong in Jingxing, and then returned to the army to capture Zhending Mansion (now Anyang, Henan) in early October, basically destroying the resistance of the Hebei Song Army.

Seeing the complete collapse of the Hebei and Hedong fronts, the opening of the gates of Bianjing, and the comeback of the Jurchens, the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty panicked.

In order to compete with Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan led a small number of vanguard troops to the north bank of the Yellow River. Seeing that the Song army on the other side was not only well-prepared, but also seemed to be very powerful, he was worried that crossing the river rashly would ruin the soldiers' vigor, so he decided to set up camp with the Song army first. River standoff.In view of the small number of soldiers on his side, in order to guard against the sneak attack of the Song army, Wanyan Zonghan designed a bluff and moved all the drums in the barracks to the bank of the river, and let the sergeants take turns to beat them all night long...

Unexpectedly, just the sound of the drum scared 12 Song soldiers to pieces. The "famous general" Zhe Yanzhi took the lead in abandoning the army and fleeing for his life. Among them, there are countless golden soldiers who have come after them because their food, grass and supplies have been cheap.

A drum beat shocked the 12 troops... The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty once again left a "brilliant" record in the history books that cannot be surpassed by future generations.

In late November, a large number of Jin troops broke through the Yellow River defense line without a single battle and arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo again. The capital of the country was extremely critical.At that time, when the teachers of Sifang Qinwang did not arrive, everyone in the capital was shocked, and those who fled to the south of the Yangtze River and Bashu were on the road.

——Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong, who were in power in the imperial court, were bent on seeking peace. Together with Nie Chang, who was in charge of the Privy Council, they actually issued military documents to stop the soldiers of the king from all walks of life: According to the views of these scholar-bureaucrats, one is that if the The reinforcements are so large that people eat horses, and the city of Bianjing has no way to provide protection; secondly, since it has decided to seek peace, it should show due sincerity, and it is necessary to place the army outside the city.If you give someone a handle, how can the peace negotiation be achieved?It is unreasonable for the Song Dynasty to let such pedantic scholar-bureaucrats take charge of the state affairs at a critical moment, so that the country will not perish!
As a result, the local governments had previously learned that the capital's military situation was urgent, and successively raised troops to Bianliang.Unexpectedly, when they were halfway there, they received an order from the court again—the stragglers were divided into various places, and each returned to the defense area to stand by!So these loyal ministers were greatly disappointed, and they all returned dejected.

It was not until the eve of the second Kaifeng defense war that Song Qinzong finally discovered to his horror that after all these years of military use, the imperial guards in Bianjing either died, were injured, or fled, or went to other places in Xu. Sergeant is available.And the soldiers and horses of King Qin of the other places were nowhere to be seen, but more than [-] gold troops continued to join forces under the city of Bianjing from Hedong and Hebei... Seeing that the city was destroyed and the country was about to be destroyed, Emperor Qinzong suddenly woke up. Hurry up to depose a group of leaders and traitors, and replace He Li, the minister of the main battle faction, as prime minister, presiding over and leading the second Kaifeng defense battle.

However, the new Zaifu who was born as a top scholar, although well-educated and full of economics, is not good at military affairs, and facing the disparity in the number of troops, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.Under urgent medical treatment, the prime minister and his cronies and subordinates had no choice but to seek help from heretics... Thus, several world-class experts suddenly appeared and appeared on the stage!
——Sun Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, read "Poetry of Feelings" one day, which was a popular prophecy poem that was said to be able to predict (a bit like Tuibeitu, Shaobing Song), and saw "Guo Jing Yang Shi Liu Wuji" in it Inspired by his words, he ordered a search of the whole city, and found a citizen named Liu Wuji in Bianliangfang, and a deputy capital (military position) named Guo Jing from the Silongwei camp in front of the temple.I heard some good people say that this Guo Jing is good at the art of inviting gods in Liujia, and can turn beans into soldiers. Sun Fu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately reported to the court, asking for a heavy responsibility, hoping to use him to capture Zonghan and Zongwang alive.

Although this matter sounds very absurd, but in the panic situation like Jinbing besieging the city, everyone in Bianliang city is looking forward to grabbing a life-saving straw, so not only the emperor believes, but also most of the citizens of Bianliang believe in it. Believe it.And that Guo Jing looked quite superior just by looking at his appearance, saying that as long as he chooses a day to send troops, he can bring peace with his backhand, so he must drive the Jin people to the Yinshan Mountain.

Therefore, the imperial court believed Guo Jing's false words without any doubt, and specially approved tens of thousands of silk to let Guo Jing recruit soldiers in the city.And Guo Jing also declared that he would form a "magic soldier" of 770 people to go out of the city to face the Jurchens, and he would surely be able to defeat the enemy in one battle.As soon as this example was opened, the medicine sellers, pig butchers, etc. in the capital came on stage one after another, talking about military affairs every day.

Up to here, everything is no different from the historical trajectory.The failure of Guo Jing's seven thousand so-called "magic soldiers" to attack will soon become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, causing the Northern Song Dynasty to collapse amidst absurd dramas that surpassed the lower limit of ordinary people's thinking.

——The "Shame of Jingkang", which has made countless men of the Han family mourn, will be staged in this prosperous and beautiful Bianliang city.

...However, some guys who don't belong to these eras have quietly replaced some people's identities under some inexplicable power.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In Bianliang City, Tianqing Temple, the residence of the "immortal" Guo Jing

Under the dim oil lamp, Guo Jing, wearing a blue Taoist robe, sat cross-legged alone holding a cup of hot tea.On the table next to him was the imperial decree that the emperor canonized him as "Doctor Wu Lue, Inspector of Yanzhou"—this was much more arrogant than the "Wudu head" of the tiger-fighting hero Wu Song.

However, this Immortal Guo Jing turned a blind eye to this imperial decree that showed the supreme glory. He just looked at the black watch of the main god in his hand and sighed, "...what the hell, what can happen now? What should I do? What should I use to fool the emperor? And how should I resist the golden man?"

——Seeing this, everyone must have understood that the Great Immortal Guo Jingguo, who was regarded as a savior by the Song court, had already been replaced.

The current Guo Daxian is no longer the deputy capital of Guo Jing of the Imperial Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the political commissar of Guo Jing with the same name and surname in the 21st century.

But the problem is that the Immortal Guo Jing at this time, or the Political Commissar Guo Jing from the 21st century, after waking up, not only found that he had not only traveled through the millennium, but also changed his identity, he also discovered something more So many incredible things:

"...Hey, is this the so-called 'time travel'? But what about this watch? And the message that came to mind... "Infinite Horror"...Damn it! Where are the veterans? And what is the mission this time? Which team am I in?"

Political Commissar Guo sighed, muttering in confusion, only feeling his brain aching.

He has been awake for most of the day in this strange era, but he is very confused about his current situation.

——There is a strange watch in his hand, many memories that do not belong to him in his mind, and he can suddenly understand the words of people in the Song Dynasty... This makes him think that he has been thrown into some terrible gladiatorial fight field, followed by endless death fights, conspiracies and tricks...

But the problem is, when Political Commissar Guo finally merged the memory of the magic stick Guo Jing and woke up in this distant time and space, he didn't find the senior people who should have existed, nor did he find any traces of other newcomers. The watch did not give any missions, and even some information about the "Lord God" that he leaked intentionally or unintentionally did not cause any system punishment... But the Song Dynasty people also did not understand.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed, then raised his hand and looked at his arm.There, the watch representing the space of the main god still exists, but there is nothing on the screen of the watch, not even the most basic time.

What exactly is going on?Is that "Lord God" convulsed?Or is there something special happening to me?
Could it be that for some special reason, this has become an "ordinary" time travel? !
But even if it was just an "ordinary" time travel to the second Kaifeng defense battle in the late Northern Song Dynasty, it was enough to make people feel dizzy.

——The brutal Liaodong barbarians are about to crush the century-old prosperity of Bianliang into mud, and neither the Guo Jing magic stick before the change of shell nor the political commissar of Guo Jing after the change of shell has the magic power to prevent this tragedy from happening... …not to mention that he was a Bolshevik with a firm belief in atheism!

Wouldn't it be as absurd to ask a political commissar to ask God to do it like asking a Catholic priest to preside over prayers in a mosque?

But just before he crossed over, Guo Jing's "predecessor" had already slapped the emperor with a promise, saying nonsense that the gods and men from the sky would help the Song Dynasty, not only that the city of Bianliang would be safe, but also that the gods would chase after him. Kill the Jin people until Yinshan, and capture the two commanders of the Jin army alive.

The imperial court even made a public decree to ask the carpenters in the city to rush to make wooden cage prison carts, ready to hold these invading enemies.

——The Song people once again showed the world their foresight in planning for a rainy day: the effect of tying the prisoners of war with ropes and parading them in the streets is probably far less effective than loading them in prison cars. The consequences of being an enemy!

Despite the battlefield situation at this time, it was precisely the Song Dynasty court who was besieged by the Jin Corps in Bianliang City, which had become a cage!
"...Golden soldiers besieged the city, there was no way to escape... Sigh, is this crossing just to kill me?" Commissar Guo muttered depressingly.

"...Don't be so depressed, comrade newcomer! Aren't we here to help you figure out a solution now? Eh? Professor Guo?!"

Hearing the voice coming from the shadow of the room, Political Commissar Guo turned around in astonishment, and was even more surprised to see a young man in casual clothes, whose appearance seemed familiar.There is also an elementary school student wearing a sweater and shorts, and a...a chubby blue doraemon? ! !
So, accompanied by a "pop!", the sound of something breaking sounded from Comrade Guo Jing's mind.

In an instant, Political Commissar Guo felt that the world view in his head collapsed once again.
