Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 244 The Yashan Naval Battle Without China Is a Fallacy

In the lens.

The powerful and domineering Taizu Zhao Kuangyin looked at a middle-aged man and asked, "Zhao Yun, why did you join forces with Mongolia to destroy gold during your reign? Tell me..."

Song Lizong Zhao Yun could only answer, "Taizu, I, I didn't know that Mongolian iron cavalry is so powerful!"

Zhao Kuangyin, "Those who cannot plan ahead are mediocre."

Song Lizong admitted it honestly, "Taizu learned the lesson well, Zhao Yun is sorry for the ancestors, the supreme throne, and the dawn of the common people..."

Zhao Kuangyin ignored him, but looked at Lin Feng and said, "Mr. Lin, why do you say that their strategy of uniting Mongolia to destroy gold is correct? Is there a reason?"

this reason.

In normal times, with Song Lizong's ability, it can be explained clearly.

But now, Taizu's deterrence made Song Lizong completely lose his usual ability to think calmly.

There is no way.

Lin Feng could only conduct a wave of analysis based on the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time.

The alliance between Mongolia and Jin in the Southern Song Dynasty made many people feel that the government of the Southern Song Dynasty was brainless and did not understand the principle of cold lips and teeth. Although Song and Jin had a feud, they should still form an alliance to resist Mongolia in the face of the powerful Mongolia.

In fact, at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty "united with Mongolia to resist gold" was a very correct choice.Why do you say that?
At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was not unaware that Mongolia would become a serious problem in the future. For example, during the period of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Yu Duanli, the Prime Minister of the Zuo at that time, said that if Mongolia grows stronger, it will inevitably invade the south.

Ministers who had been envoys to the Kingdom of Jin also reported that once Mongolia wiped out Jin, the Song Dynasty would not be spared.

A few years later, Mongolia really raised its troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin. At that time, the Song Dynasty was divided into two factions in this way.

One group, led by Qiao Xingjian, believes that Mongolia is very powerful now, and it is only a matter of time before the Jin Dynasty is destroyed. If the Song Dynasty does not help the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia will become stronger after the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, and the Song Dynasty will also be caught in the flames of war.

And if it can unite Jin to resist Mongolia, Jin can help Song Dynasty guard the country, and Song Dynasty can continue to stabilize.

The other faction, headed by Zhen Dexiu, advocates uniting Mongolia to destroy gold.

Because of the feud between Jin and Song Dynasty, Jing Kangxi now has the opportunity to get a big reward, so don't miss this opportunity.

What's more, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the land of the original Song Dynasty can be recovered, and the Song Dynasty can be revitalized.

But the court of the Southern Song Dynasty couldn't make up its mind for a while, so it watched the fire from the other side for a while.

A few years later, due to Mongolia's pressing force, Jin Xuanzong moved his capital to Bianliang, the former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Jin had lost a lot of territory in the north at this time, so it planned to resume its old business and attack the Song Dynasty, intending to regain its position in the Southern Song Dynasty, but he didn't know that the Southern Song Dynasty is not easy to bully.

And in 1232 A.D., the Mongolian army had already invaded the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin, and defeated the Jin army with a small number of victories. At this time, no one could save the Kingdom of Jin.

Meng Gong, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, saw the situation clearly, and proposed to the court the benefits of uniting Mongolia and eliminating gold:
"One is that the Kingdom of Jin is hopeless at this time. If we send troops to join forces with Mongolia to attack the Kingdom of Jin, we can stabilize Mongolia and prevent Mongolia from going south to invade the Song Dynasty after the destruction of the Jin Dynasty. This will give the Song Dynasty a few years to prepare for war."

"Secondly, after the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, the strength of the Song Dynasty is bound to increase greatly, and it will be able to better resist Mongolia."

"The third is to send troops to destroy Jin Yang and Song Guowei."

These three seemingly huge benefits alone are irresistible.

After listening to Lin Feng's analysis, Zhao Kuangyin showed a thoughtful expression.

At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty took this step strategy, is it reasonable?
Put the situation at that time.

Absolutely nothing wrong.

Zhao Kuangyin asked again, "After the fall of the Kingdom of Jin, there are decades of development time, why not strengthen the defense? With the help of the economic advantages of the south of the Yangtze River, we will continue to train troops..."

At this time, Song Duzong, the sixth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, replied with an aggrieved expression:
"Back to Taizu, after I ascended the throne, the entire government was basically controlled by Jia Sidao. Even Xiangyang City was besieged by Kublai Khan's army for three years before I knew the truth of the matter. The opportunity has been missed and there is no way to recover."

Hear this explanation.

Modern audiences are left speechless.

As the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been three years since he fought at the door of his house, and you didn't know that there was a battle on the front line.

Are you an idiot emperor?
Lin Feng felt that Song Duzong was just pretending to be stupid.

Anyway, you have been emperor for ten years.

The biggest reason for such a waste of state affairs is definitely that he is greedy for pleasure and enjoys the gentleness of the country too much.

in history.

After the demise of the Kingdom of Jin, many problems arose in Mongolia, a nomadic regime in the north, such as the Western Expedition, such as internal fighting, which lasted for decades.

It stands to reason that this was the best time for the development of the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed, and there was no foreign suppression of the Southern Song Dynasty. recovery effect.

However, after "Duanping entered Luo", the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were completely depressed. Not only did they ignore the government, but they also indulged in sensuality.

Zhao Kuangyin, "..."

He said with an expression of hating iron but not steel, "As an emperor, you are still controlled by a mere treacherous minister. You, the emperor, can't you just pretend?"

The dignified son of heaven, can't deal with Jia Sidao?

What a liar!
Lin Feng told the truth, "According to the historical records of later generations, in 1264 A.D., Emperor Duzong of Song Dynasty ascended the throne with the reign name Xianchun. He also reused the treacherous minister Jia Sidao, named him the grand master, and trusted him even more. The Southern Song Dynasty has reached the point where it cannot be controlled."

Unspoken.

The sixth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely useless, and he was undoubtedly a real fool.

The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were also wise.

But this Song Duzong is obviously not, and no one has any objections to this.

"Ten years in power, ten years of enjoyment, you are really a good descendant of the old Zhao family!"

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he spoke ironically.

"Taizu calm down..."

"Taizu calm down..."

The Fifth and Sixth Emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were terrified and terrified. They knelt down and looked terrified.

They are really scared.

Worried that his ancestors would make a move and kill the two of them alive on the spot.

Zhao Kuangyin's force value is not covered. Looking at the thousands of years of Chinese history, among all the emperors and emperors, in terms of personal force value, Zhao Kuangyin ranked second, and no one would dare to say that he was number one.

"never mind!"

"After all, each of you is the emperor of the old Zhao family. Wearing dragon robes, you are the emperors of all ages. Even if you do not do well, no matter how bad your achievements are, you should have the minimum dignity of an emperor."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, his whole body seemed to have aged for ten years, and his temples were turning white.

Fortunately, he didn't mean to do it by hand.

That is, Emperor Taizu.

If you change someone.

Nine times out of ten, something will happen. For example, Qin Shihuang, I am afraid that these dozen or so "capable idiots" descendants of emperors will be kicked over one by one, drowned by spit stars, and some people will even be killed by the unruly first emperor all his life. cut.

Subsequently.

Lin Feng continued to introduce the remaining Southern Song emperors.

Of course, after Song Duzong who was greedy for pleasure, other emperors ascended the throne at a young age, the situation was turbulent, and their lives were extremely short-lived. Basically, they changed every two or three years, and there was nothing to introduce.

Until the end, I talked about the last stop of the Southern Song Dynasty's demise-Yashan naval battle.

Only then did Zhao Kuangyin raise his spirits.

"Mr. Lin, what did you say?"

"In the naval battle on Yashan, the important minister Lu Xiufu threw the young emperor on his back and threw himself into the sea, followed by more than [-] soldiers and civilians."

"And this Battle of Yashan: Is there really no China after this battle?"

Zhao Kuangyin was shocked, the muscles on his face were jumping violently, and his heart was full of shock waves.

The other Zhao Guangyi, Song Renzong, etc. were also shocked and couldn't believe it.

why?
Because the price of the demise of the Great Song Dynasty was too great, too great!

After that battle, there will be no more Huaxia!

These emperors can't help but have numb scalps and chills all over their bodies. Could it be that our Huaxia clan has perished?

For some emperors muttering.

Lin Feng said with embarrassment, "Seniors, please be safe and don't be impatient. If there is no Huaxia, then what are the juniors?"

"Yes!"

Only then did Zhao Kuangyin come back to his senses, almost weeping with joy, "Young master Lin, you are from a descendant of China, which means that our ancient oriental clan is still thriving!"

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

If there is really no Huaxia after the fall of the Song Dynasty, their old Zhao family will be sinners through the ages!
Song Renzong, who had the face of a peerless and beautiful man in ancient times, couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lin, as you said, why in later generations will there be a saying that "there will be no more China"?"

Zhao Guangyi also said, "This statement is definitely a big fallacy."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "It is indeed a fallacy."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and asked, "Since it's a fallacy, why did it appear?"

For this reason.

It really can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences!

The reason is complicated.

Zhao Kuangyin saw through Lin Feng's expression, and said, "You 17 people, if you come, please be safe, take your seats!"

Not long after, eighteen Song Dynasty emperors almost filled the pavilions.

All of them wore dragon robes, and many of them had the emperor's dragon face.

The scene looked extremely shocking.

"Taizu, our unworthy descendants, can we drink alcohol...to suppress the shock..." Song Zhenzong said with an ugly and embarrassed smile.

"Humph--"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't give a good face to this grandson who dared to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

He shouted towards the outside; "Come here, serve the wine utensils, and serve the Jiutan palace's fine deer head wine!"

Lin Feng smiled.

Taizu, you really have a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
