Chapter 695: Talking about Song History (2)
"They still have hope? Why don't they die? If I were from Song Dynasty, I would kill them directly." Ying Zheng said.
In Ying Zheng's heart, Emperor Huiqin was a shame, let alone saving them. Even if he really took revenge and rescued them, he would kill them both directly.
The two of them are a disgrace and must not be allowed to live. More importantly, their status is too high and it is inappropriate to continue living.
Qin An said: "Father-in-law, although you are angry in your heart, I am also angry. But at that time, the world was still the country of the Song Dynasty, and the people were still the people of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the people of the world wanted to avenge their shame and rescue the two emperors of Huiqin.
Among them was Yue Fei, the famous anti-Jin general. He was a national hero known to everyone in China and he was also the nemesis of the Jin soldiers.
Whenever the Yue family's army appears, the Jin soldiers will definitely be defeated and flee.
However, such a famous general was sentenced to death on unfounded charges because the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty did not want Yue Fei to welcome back Emperor Huiqin. "
"How come the Northern Song Dynasty died and the Southern Song Dynasty came?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin An explained: "The founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Song Huizong, who fled to the south and established the Southern Song Dynasty court in the south with a group of civil and military ministers.
It's funny to say that at that time, Zhao Gou was afraid of being chased by Jin soldiers and was always on the way to escape. He didn't dare to go by land and went directly by sea and land.
Fortunately, there were already various anti-Jin armies at that time, one of which was the Yue Family Army led by Yue Fei. They were so powerful that they directly beat Jin to stop, and then fought back step by step.
At this time, seeing that Yue Fei really had the possibility of rescuing Emperor Huiqin, Zhao Gou became anxious.
The prime minister Qin Hui at that time was even called the best female minister in the world, and everyone wanted to kill her. At that time, he gave Zhao Gou an idea and asked Zhao Gou to recall Yue Fei.
He summoned Yue Fei back to the capital with twelve gold medals in a row, and also sent a large army to surround the Yue family army.
Strangely enough, the Song Dynasty army was not good at killing enemies, but was very good at killing its own people, and was especially unscrupulous in bullying the people.
Finally, Yue Fei was recalled to the capital and killed on trumped-up charges.
And Yue Fei left a song "Man Jiang Hong" to express his regret. "
Qin An paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I am so angry that I can rest in the rain. I look up to the sky and howl, my heart is full of passion. Thirty years of fame and fame are dust and dirt, and eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait any longer. , the boy's head turned white, empty and sad.
The shame of Jingkang is still not over. When will the hatred of the ministers be extinguished? Driving a long car, crossing the gap in Helan Mountain. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que. "
"Good words." Xiang Liang said, "Full of ambition, full of fighting spirit, full of hatred, and even more helpless.
What a pity for Yue Fei, who served his country loyally. "
Everyone nodded, feeling that Yue Fei's death was not worth it.
"Such an emperor should be deposed, and such female ministers should be executed in Lingchi." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
"The people at that time were very disappointed with the emperor, and they wanted to eat Qin Hui's flesh and drink his blood, but they couldn't do this.
Finally, the people invented a kind of food, which was fried dough sticks. At that time, some people made the fried dough sticks into the shape of a person, and then shouted "Fry Qin Hui". Qin An said.
Li Si said solemnly: "Aren't the people at that time afraid of the government's investigation?"
"Some people are afraid, some are not afraid, but because of the intervention of the government, fried Qin Hui became a fried ghost. Although Qin Hui was not pointed out by name, everyone at that time knew that fried dough sticks was Qin Hui, and eating fried dough sticks was eating Qin Hui.
In the end, the fried ghost became fried dough sticks, which is one of the Chinese breakfast delicacies. Qin An explained.
Everyone suddenly realized that the government was still pursuing the case, but the people were just smarter.
Ying Zheng said: "Then what happened next? Without Yue Fei, did the Jin soldiers march in and directly destroy the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Qin An shook his head and said: "No, in fact, Jin Bing doesn't have any
The strength continues to go south, and without Yue Fei, there are other armies, other armies.
The Jin soldiers are only very good at cavalry and shooting, but the south is mostly covered with mountains and waterways, which is not the main battlefield of the Jin army at all. Therefore, even without Yue Fei, the Jin army still suffered heavy losses.
It's just that Yue Fei has a great reputation, is the most capable, and serves his country loyally. Of course, his end is also the worst.
Moreover, Yue Fei's mother tattooed the four words "loyalty and devotion to the country" on Yue Fei's back, and Yue Fei also followed these four words.
Later, the Southern Song Dynasty signed a peace treaty with the Jin Kingdom. In fact, before Yue Fei's death, the Song and Jin Dynasties had been in contact and had already made plans to negotiate peace.
The Kingdom of Jin had one condition, which was to get rid of his father-in-law, and Zhao Gou actually wanted to get rid of Yue Fei, so the two sides hit it off. ..
In the end, Yue Fei was killed on an unfounded charge, which was Zhao Gou's greatest sincerity.
The Jin Kingdom did not go south in the end, but in the end the Jin Kingdom met the same fate as the Liao Kingdom and was destroyed by the Song-Mongolian alliance.
After Mongolia became stronger, it first destroyed the Jin Dynasty, because Mongolia was initially ruled by the Jin Kingdom and suppressed Mongolia until finally Mongolia rose. Destroyed Jin, and then destroyed Song, Xia, Dali and other countries.
The Mongolian cavalry finally reached Europe. I have said this before, so I won’t say it again.
None of the emperors of the Song Dynasty were tyrants, but most of them were faint emperors or mediocre people. However, there were a few outstanding ones, but it was a pity that they could not turn the tide of the Song Dynasty and change the status quo.
As for whether the Song Dynasty was weak or not, I am not qualified to say, but the economy was prosperous and there were no eunuchs in power. This is incomparable to all dynasties.
The Qin Dynasty died because of Zhao Gao II, and Gao Chao also had ten permanent attendants to control the government. In the Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, etc., there were also eunuchs who disrupted the government.
What really deserves everyone's attention is that the commercial economy of the Song Dynasty was very developed and scientific discoveries were also very rapid.
The Song Dynasty was worried that officials would have too much power, so they decentralized power. Each position had three officials. In addition, there were frequent imperial examinations, so many officials were raised.
Not only that, in order to fear that the people would go hungry due to natural and man-made disasters and rebel against the court, as long as there were refugees, the court would recruit them and incorporate them into the Forbidden Army. Therefore, the Song Dynasty had many soldiers, but their combat effectiveness was also very poor. "
"It's simply wishful thinking to let a group of refugees with no fighting ability become soldiers. They will have fighting ability." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
Qin An nodded, fully agreeing with Ying Zheng's words, and said: "My father-in-law is so right. If the weapons of the Song army were not so powerful, the Song Dynasty would have died long ago.
But what I want to talk about now is not this, but the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. I just mentioned two, and the other one is that the annual expenses of the court are very high.
There are not only a large number of officials and countless soldiers to spend on military expenses, but more importantly, there are annual currency expenditures for Liao, Jin, Xia and other countries. "
