Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

I was thinking in my mind that this might be impossible.

At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the forces of the Northern Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were still there, and they colluded with the Liao Kingdom to fight against the Song army.

Zhao Kuangyin once fought a battle with the Northern Han Dynasty at Shiling Pass.

However, the Song army was infected with the plague at that time, and the Northern Han Dynasty had help from the Liao people, so it was not defeated.

"In August, I have already sent troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. If I really die tonight, the army will definitely stop attacking. In fact, now is a good time to fight. The Northern Han Dynasty is already extremely weak, and the Liao army is also in civil strife. The situation It’s quite good for us.”

"But if there is a national mourning in our Song Dynasty, let them delay it for another three or four years. After they recuperate, as for Zhao Guangyi, if he can win the war, it can only be said that it is all supported by the civil and military support of the Manchu Dynasty."

Xiao Ran nodded: "That's true. In the early days of the Northern Expedition, Zhao Guangyi once recaptured Yizhou and Zhuozhou in Hebei. He then ordered the siege of Yanjing, so the Song army and the Liao people started a fierce battle on the banks of the Gaoliang River. Zhao Guangyi went to the battlefield in person, but was injured by an arrow. , evacuated in panic by donkey cart, and the Northern Expedition failed."

Zhao Kuangyin's face suddenly turned dark: "What a fucking waste."

"Does he know how to fight? He just creates trouble."

"The emperor came to the battlefield in person. In order to boost morale, he also pressed forward with the central army. But it was better for him to go up and kill him. The soldiers had to worry about him when they were killing the enemy. Not to mention being timid, the enemy soldiers saw him. I will be braver and take his precious head, and it will be a trophy that can be promoted to a higher rank when I go back."

Zhao Kuangyin even wanted to ask Zhao Guangyi himself what he was thinking. Is it possible that there was no general in the civil and military dynasty who was better at fighting than him?

"He was hit by an arrow, and finally fled back on a donkey cart with his armor removed. As an emperor, he completely lost his dignity. I'm afraid he will become a joke and a source of conversation for many years."

"I can probably imagine Zhao Guangyi's mental state of wanting to take advantage. At that time, the Song Dynasty took money from the Wuyue Kingdom and went to defeat the Northern Han Dynasty in the fourth year. The battle against the Northern Han Dynasty was overwhelming and very powerful. It’s easy, and Zhao Guangyi doesn’t understand military affairs, so he would think the Northern Expedition is very simple.”

"In addition, he came from a bad position and needed to prove his ability, so he chose to fight in person. He commanded the army to fight fatiguedly without taking advice, and went to attack Yanyun Sixteen States. Speaking of this, I thought of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di also felt that he was not in the right position, so he went out to fight, but he was really strong and capable, and he conquered a whole world."

"Da Ming?" Zhao Kuangyin recalled that he had only the Han and Tang dynasties before, and he had never heard of a small country called the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Ran added an explanation: "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty is the second dynasty after the Song Dynasty."

"But speaking of it, Zhao Guangyi chose to fight in person at that time because he was dazzled by the victory. But he did not understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Liao army's cavalry against the Song army at all, and did not care about the fatigue of the Song Dynasty soldiers, and wanted to fight through a quick battle. Take it back to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."

"In the final 20 days of siege, the exhausted Song army chased the Liao army, but the Liao army made dumplings."

"In this battle, the number of casualties of the Song army exceeded 10,000, and the loss of tanks, weapons, and food was countless. From then on, the vitality of the Song Dynasty was severely damaged, and it was never able to bring back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran himself felt a little sad. If Zhao Kuangyin had not died this year, the army that was undergoing the Northern Expedition would not have had to cease fighting due to national mourning. If he continued to work hard, maybe the Northern Expedition would be successful this year.

"Anyway, the final result of this incident was that Zhao Guangyi himself was injured and drove back in a donkey cart, and was nicknamed the Donkey Cart Emperor by the enemy. This leg injury has been with him all his life, and it has also caused him pain for his whole life."

However, Xiao Ran didn't bother to say more. In fact, how Zhao Guangyi came to power is not the most important thing. Even if there is a conspiracy behind it, it is actually something that everyone understands.

Throughout the ages, how many politicians have come to power not relying on conspiracy?

But Zhao Guangyi's mentality was not good. He was so anxious that he didn't even wait to prepare the fake edict.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin left suddenly at that time, and Zhao Guangyi had no time to prepare. After all, Zhao Kuangyin's son could inherit the throne immediately and legitimately.

Forget it, even if he eradicated dissidents in the future, he still failed to master this degree and stop there. Not only did he kill the heroes indiscriminately, he also forced his own brother and nephew to death.

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's expression, Xiao Ran really couldn't bear to give him a heavy blow.

"But it's okay, he is not the most embarrassing one among the emperors of the Song Dynasty." Xiao Ran looked at Zhao Kuangyin's sad and angry look and comforted him.

However, when Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he suddenly became even more silent.

"What do you mean, are there more unsatisfactory descendants in the future?"

"Every family will inevitably have a few losers. This is normal. Just look at it and it will be fine."

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and first let his attention fall on Zhao Guangyi's affairs. At present, he could not care about the affairs of future generations.

But this is definitely not everything Zhao Guangyi did. Zhao Kuangyin sighed and continued: "There should be other things happening later."

In Taiqing Pavilion, the two had a long talk about this.

Xiao Ran nodded: "In the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo, that is, 980 AD, Hou Renbao reported to Zhao Guangyi, requesting to take advantage of the civil strife in Vietnam, which you call Jiaozhi, to go south to crusade, restore the old territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and unify Jiaozhi."

"At that time, Zhao Guangyi thought, what this guy said makes sense, so he appointed Hou Renbao as the land and water transport envoy to Jiaozhou. He made a series of military deployments and waited for an opportunity to attack the Ding Dynasty. But in the sixth year of Taiping and Xingguo, the Battle of Baiteng River China won first and then lost, and the plan to unify Vietnam failed.”

"Since then, Cochin, also known as Vietnam, has maintained its independent status."

Song Kuangyin's whole body was numb now: "In other words, he wasted time on people and money by beating the cane, but in the end it ended up ruining things."

"He was indeed a diligent puppet military strategist. In the third year of Yongxi's reign, that is, in 986, Zhao Guangyi sent five generals, Pan Mei, Yang Ye, Tian Zhong, Cao Bin, and Cui Yanjin, to divide the east, middle and west routes, and the east route. Let’s go on another northern expedition for the Lord.”

"The West and Middle Route armies advanced smoothly, but the main force, the East Route Army, was repeatedly defeated by the Liao army. The grain road was cut off, and finally failed to join the Central and Western Routes. It was defeated and collapsed at Qigou Pass."

"The Central and Western Routes also had to withdraw southward. Yang Ye, the leader of the West Route, was captured by the Liao army for covering the southward retreat of the soldiers and civilians. He went on a hunger strike for three days and died in prison."

"Afterwards, the Song Dynasty repeatedly failed in the battles of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Dingchuanzhai against the Dangxiang tribe in Xixia. However, because of its war weariness, it negotiated peace with the Song court. Zhao Guangyi used his confidants Fu Qian, Wang Chao, Chai Yuxi, Zhao Rong, and Zhang Xun, Yang Shouyi and Mi Dechao are the commanders of the Imperial Army, and they are all mediocre people who are afraid of fighting in the face of battle."

When Xiao Ran talked about it, he felt that Zhao Guangyi was a bit outrageous. He had already suffered a loss and still didn't know how to stop.

After all, I am still too confident in myself.

"And there's another thing. As an official, don't you delegate free trade rights to border soldiers and allow them to trade freely with neighboring countries. The porcelain, tea, and silk of the Song Dynasty are rare items in other countries. They made a lot of money, and it was this policy that made the soldiers more enthusiastic about guarding the border, and the northwest border became much more stable."
