Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, in the middle courtyard, in the attic in the middle, a group of male and female students are looking at the stone tablet in the middle of the building, everyone is silent.
"... In the first year of Jingde, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty and the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty personally led an army south to attack our Song territory. Emperor Zhenzong, urged by Prime Minister Kou Zhun, went to Chanzhou to supervise the war. In December, the Song and Liao parties entered into an agreement Peace Agreement: The Liao and Song Dynasties were two kingdoms of brothers. The Song Dynasty gave the Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 bolts of silk every year. The Song and Liao Dynasties used the Baigou River as their border."
Someone read the sermon softly, but no one among the students made any noise, they were all meditating.
Not to mention, this was the first "unequal treaty" in the history of the Song Dynasty.
"Using 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 bolts of silk to buy hundreds of years of peace in the Song Dynasty. Although it is harmful to the country, it does not seem too cowardly to save the people from the war."
A student said it softly, which immediately provoked a burst of rebuttal.
"You spend money to buy peace, and the court does not settle side affairs. What do you get in exchange?"
"The shame of Jingkang, the people of the Song Dynasty were in dire straits, and there were more than tens of millions of casualties. The Song Dynasty crossed south and settled in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. Outside the Qingshan Tower outside the mountain, when would the singing and dancing of the West Lake stop? I, the Song Dynasty, lost half of the country, why not worship the alliance of Chanyuan Given?"
The students were impassioned, and the student who started the conversation remained silent. After all, the subsequent demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and the migration of the Song Dynasty to the south are ironclad facts.
"...In the winter of the second year of Jingkang, more than a thousand people including Huizong, Qinzong, princes, concubines, and concubines were forced by Jin soldiers to the Jin ancestral temple. The emperor and the queen were stripped of their coats and put on civilian clothes. Wrapped in sheepskin, everyone else, including concubines, emperors, or clan members, are all naked and only wear a sheepskin..."
Liu Fanning looked at the stone tablet and read softly. The male and female students around looked at the stone tablet, and everyone looked solemn and ugly.
"The great China has lasted for thousands of years, with a population of tens of millions. It has been repeatedly humiliated by the barbarian tribes in the north, and has almost been destroyed. If we, the Chinese, do not rise up, we will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others, and our country will be destroyed!"
Shi Huiyu's heart was heavy and she spoke angrily.
"Our officials are corrupt, our generals are corrupt, our frontier troops are neglected in training, their guilds are devalued, and people's livelihood is in decline. The emperor implemented the New Deal, established a martial arts hall, and worked hard to govern. We, the students, must study hard and reshape the frontier army of the Song Dynasty. Promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty!"
Among the male students, someone said in a deep voice, also frowning.
At this time, the male and female students seemed to be less curious and more concerned about state affairs.
The students began to move, and when they came to another stone tablet, someone read it loudly and impassionedly.
"... In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, the Song and Jin Dynasties reached a peace treaty: the Song Dynasty professed its vassalage to the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty named Zhao Gou, King Kang of Song Dynasty, as the emperor; the boundaries were delimited, with the middle flow of the Huaihe River in the east as the boundary, Dashan Pass in Shaanxi Province in the west as the boundary, and the south as the Song Dynasty. , the north belongs to gold; the Song Dynasty paid tribute to gold every year, 250,000 taels of silver and silk each. Starting from the 12th year of Shaoxing, they were moved to Sizhou every spring to pay.
...At the end of December in the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong and his traitorous prime minister Qin Hui killed Yue Fei for an "unfounded" crime. His son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian beheaded him in the busy city of Lin'an. The "Shaoxing Peace Treaty" was formed, and the Jin Dynasty sent Huizong's coffin and his biological mother Wei Shi back to the Southern Song Dynasty..."
As the students read, the originally impassioned voice gradually weakened.
The emperor directly criticized Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou. What does this mean?
"The sky is clear! Yue Wumu died so resentfully! It was so tragic!"
One practitioner said angrily, expressing the feelings of many people in the attic.
"We, the Song Dynasty, built our country based on Confucianism and used culture to control military affairs. If the military generals got a little bigger, the court would ruthlessly suppress them. Do we warriors have a chance to serve the country?"
Under the suppression of emotions, another student boldly spoke.
"After entering the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, don't you have the opportunity to serve the country? Isn't the emperor's establishment of the Martial Arts Lecture Hall just for us warriors to show off our skills and make contributions?"
Meng Gong, who had a calm personality, frowned and said it.
"You are right. The emperor founded the Jinling Martial Arts Hall and erected these stone monuments to wash away the shame and restore the old place."
Cao Youwen said loudly, agreeing with Zhang Zhengsi's view.
As for what the emperor wants to do, we will naturally know it at tomorrow's opening ceremony or the subsequent teaching.
Some students walked forward. Zhang Zhengsi lowered his head in thought and walked slowly. The female student next to him passed by and said something shy.
"Zhang Zhengsi, nice to meet you!"
Zhang Zhengsi looked up and saw a beautiful face, and couldn't help but be startled.
"It's you! You also entered the martial arts hall!"
It turned out that this woman was Li Siyu who followed them into the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall that day.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the next stone tablet, which was the second northern expedition after the Song Dynasty's southern crossing - the Kaixi Northern Expedition.
"In the second year of Kaixi, Wang's army made an expedition to the north. They won first and then lost. Wu Xi rebelled, and the situation was worrying. In the third year of Kaixi, Wu Xi's rebellion was put down, and Huainan gradually became stable. General Kui of Jin died of illness in the army, and the situation was favorable to the Song Dynasty. . However, the Song Dynasty's main peace faction caused trouble. Shi Miyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, colluded with Xia Zhen, the official of the company's office in front of the palace, and others to kill the prime minister Han Yuzhou. The Song and Jin Dynasties stopped their troops to negotiate peace, and signed the "Jiading Peace Treaty" in the first year of Jiading.
Terms of the peace agreement: The border between the two countries remains as before; the Song Dynasty used his nephew as a gift to his uncle in exchange for gold; the annual coins were increased by 50,000 silver and silk each; the Song Dynasty rewarded the master with three million taels of silver and gold, and the border remained the same. The titles of Emperor Song and Emperor Jin were changed from uncle-nephew to uncle-nephew..."
Although Ishigami did not point out who was "waiting" for killing Prime Minister Han Yuzhou, all the students knew it and understood the emperor's difficulties.
After all, the emperor cannot expose the shortcomings of his "mother" in front of the world. Isn't this unfilial!
"God's way is good, China has its justice, people's hearts are obedient, and every man will take revenge. ...The soldiers are famous, the teachers are strong, the words are far away, and the words are close, but there is no loyalty in the heart? As a son of man, as a human being. O minister, please remember the anger of your ancestors..."
Yu Jie, who watched quietly, sighed sincerely.
If you want to kill a thief, you can't save him. No matter how domineering Han Yuzhou was, it was also for the sake of national affairs. It's so tragic to send money to the guardian.
"The generals are mediocre and stupid, the horse administration is not good, the heroes are not produced, the food supplies are not abundant, and the situation is not solid. Your Majesty established the Jinling Lecture Hall at the right time!"
Zhang Zhengsi couldn't help but said with emotion.
To train soldiers, you must train officers. The emperor was far-sighted and pointed out the long-term shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, which is exciting.
"You are a gangster in Lin'an City, what are you talking about here?"
A male student opposite him suddenly targeted Zhang Zhengsi.
"What kind of place is a martial arts hall? We accept all kinds of bad people? Scoundrels can come in. Is this the right thing to do?"
Zhang Zhengsi was startled, and before he could react, another male student had already picked up the conversation, making the same sarcastic comment.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Say that again!"
Gao Hu and Fang Hai, who were beside Zhang Zhengsi, could no longer hold it in any longer and pointed at the two male students one after another.
These two guys seemed to be powerful people in Lin'an City. They had some feuds in the past, but most of the time, it was their side that was ravaged.
"I'm talking about you guys! You're a piece of shit, and you even went to the Jinling Martial Arts Hall to embarrass yourself! Do you still have the face?"
"What's wrong with you? Do you want to fight? I'll stay with you until the end!"
The male students on the other side were outnumbered and they also refused to give in. Gao Hu and others couldn't hold back and rushed forward. The two sides struggled together, and soon it was a group fight.
"Everyone stop it!"
Zhang Zhengsi hurried over to separate the struggling crowd. This is the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. If you fight here, you might be expelled.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! Gao Hu, Du San, you..."
Before Zhang Zhengsi finished speaking, he was already punched in the face, hitting his eye socket, and blood immediately dripped from his face.
"Stop it! Stop fighting!"
"Stop! Stop fighting!"
Meng Gong, Yu Jie and others stepped forward one after another, but everyone was still fighting each other, unwilling to give up, and inextricably linked.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, angry shouts sounded, and the crowd parted like a tide. After a group of people came in, Gao Hu and others backed away.
"You damn Niang, why..."
The leading male student from Lin'an had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and was cursing. When he raised his head and saw the people glaring in front of him, he immediately shrank and bowed his head.
"Your Majesty... Principal!"
Whether it was Gao Hu's side, Lin'an Dandy's side, or Meng Gong, Yu Jie and others, they all saluted Zhao Hong and gave a military salute.
"Hello principal!"
Zhao Hong looked at everyone with a stern look on his face.
"Anyone who participated in a group fight should come forward!"
Both sides of the fight stood up one after another, including Zhang Zhengsi.
Zhao Hong looked at Zhang Zhengsi in surprise, with one black eye and blood stains on his face, and withdrew his gaze.
"Since you are so energetic, let's go to the training ground and run ten laps each. Think of it as a warm-up for future training in the martial arts hall."
"Your Majesty... Principal, Zhang Zhengsi did not participate in the group fight. He should not be punished!"
Wang Gui, with disheveled clothes, disheveled hair and a few bloodstains on his face, quickly explained to Zhang Zhengsi.
"shut up!"
Zhao Hong's face darkened, and Li Tang looked at Wang Gui with a stern look on his face.
"Let me tell you an iron law in the martial arts hall: subordinates must obey the military orders of superiors unconditionally!"
Following Zhao Hong'er, Li Tang accepted all the good and bad things.
"Yes, instructor!"
Wang Gui didn't dare to say anything and quickly retreated.
If you continue to push back, you may be kicked out of the martial arts hall.
"Zhang Zhengsi, go take care of the wound, and then go to the training ground and be punished by running. What do you think?"
Li Tang said loudly, his dark face getting darker.
"Return to the instructor! No need to deal with the wound, I will go for a penalty run now!"
Zhang Zhengsi said loudly, raising his head and chest.
"All those who are fighting, run with me!"
Hu Datou gave an order, and all the troublemaking students lined up and ran out.
"Students, it's getting late. Let's go back. It's time to have dinner."
Wei Liaoweng frowned, looked at the mess on the ground, and gave the order.
"Tell someone to clean up this place."
There was a fight before school started. It seems that these young people are fierce enough, but they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
"Principal, let's just forget it? Don't we deal with it?"
Wei Liaoweng looked incredulous.
"Vice Principal Wei, you must be kind! At least they still have blood!"
Zhao Hong said helplessly. Daring to fight in groups proves that the students are still bloody, which is stronger than anything else.
As for discipline, it is difficult to feel comfortable after entering the Jinling Martial Arts Hall and practicing.
