Infinite Streamer

Xu Xian stored all the cold weapons and gunpowder into the storage space of the space-time router system.

At this moment, a noisy sound was heard from above.

Xu Xian used the system's space transportation function to go directly to the top of the lush ancient tree in the temple, but it was already approaching evening, and he saw dozens of monks talking in the side rooms.

"The head abbot, Master Fahai, just sent us away and told us to go and kill those pilgrims and bury their bodies. It was obviously to accomplish his purpose! How come he disappeared?"

"Perhaps someone from my Great Jin Kingdom went to discuss military intelligence in secret?"

"Then we have another chance to make achievements! The Song Dynasty court is arrogant and extravagant, always valuing civil officials over military officials, and is completely confused. The civil officials are corrupt, the people are living in poverty, the civil officials are lazy, the military is poor and weak, and the military preparations are lax. How can they be a match for our Great Jin!"

"It is said that after our Great Jin retreated from attacking Dongjing last time, we secretly sent a large army to prepare for war. We may attack Song territory again one day!"

"We have been sneaking into Song territory, pretending to be monks in this temple for almost a year. Is this the moment to show off our skills?"

"The Song Dynasty court is full of fools. They never thought that after joining forces with our Great Jin to destroy Liao, they would also destroy the Song Dynasty!"

"I heard that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, was also a coward. When our Great Jin army crossed the Yellow River last time, he abdicated the throne to his son Zhao Huan. When he heard that Tokyo had been defended, he came back to fight for his son's imperial power. How could this help?"

When Xu Xian (Liu Yuan) heard this, he finally realized that these dozens of monks, including Monk Fahai, were all spies of the Jin people who secretly sneaked into the Song territory! He couldn't help but take a breath! The Jin people had been planning for a long time, and the Song people were weak, so how could they not be defeated? Even if he tried to stop the chariot with his arms, how long could he hold out?

Liu Yuan thought to himself: "The situation of the Northern Song Dynasty is now extremely precarious! I wonder what year it is now?"

"According to what these fake monks said, Li Gang first defended Tokyo in 1125. The Northern Song Dynasty is about to fall, so it might be this year? Could it be 1126?"

In the original history, when Song Huizong was in power, he took the initiative to send envoys to communicate with the Jin Kingdom in order to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, hoping to ally with Jin to destroy Liao.

After more than two years of frequent contacts and repeated negotiations, Song and Jin finally reached an agreement to destroy Liao. The two sides agreed to send troops together before August of that year and adopt a pincer attack from the north and the south. After the Liao was destroyed, Song would obtain the former land of Yanyun and Jin would obtain other lands of Liao.

Song Huizong had a beautiful idea. He wanted to take advantage of the Liao Kingdom's increasingly weak national power and join forces with the Jin Kingdom to regain the Yanyun area. As for other things, he didn't think about it at all.

But the facts exceeded Song Huizong's expectations. A large-scale peasant uprising led by Fang La suddenly broke out in Zhejiang. Song Huizong had to transfer the army that was originally preparing to attack Liao in the north to the southeast to quell the rebellion and suppress bandits.

Aguda of the Jin army led his troops to attack at the time agreed upon by both parties, and captured most of the territory of the Liao Kingdom like a torrent of wind and rain.

After concentrating its forces and suppressing Fang La's large-scale peasant uprising, the Northern Song army delayed for nearly a year before launching a northern expedition against the Liao Kingdom, but suffered two consecutive defeats.

The weak military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty made the Jin people see through the truth, which naturally made the Jin allies despise and despise them. The army of the Northern Song Dynasty was even more vulnerable than the weakened Liao Dynasty.

However, Emperor Huizong of Song was not at all vigilant and did not take any preventive measures.

Then in 1123, after Aguda's brother, Emperor Taizong of Jin, Wanyan Sheng, whose Jurchen name was Wuqimai, succeeded to the throne, he sent a large army to the south to attack the Song Dynasty. If Li Gang had not insisted on defending the city, the entire Northern Song court would have fled!

Seeing that disaster was imminent, Song Huizong abdicated the throne to Crown Prince Zhao Huan. When the Jin army crossed the Yellow River, he immediately left the capital and took refuge in the south of the Yangtze River, completely disregarding the lives of civilians!

Although the Defense of Tokyo in 1125 was successfully held under the command of Li Gang, the Northern Song Dynasty luckily escaped.

When Emperor Huizong of Song saw that Tokyo was safe, he returned to Tokyo to compete for power with his son!

However, the next year, the Jin soldiers returned again and broke into Tokyo, abducting Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and a large number of female relatives. This is known in history as the "Jingkang Shame."
