Zhongshi Dao was originally named Zhong Jianzhong. Later, because he wanted to avoid the country name of Zhao Huan, his cheap father, he changed his name and became today's Zhongshi Dao.
It is not a day or two since the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs. However, the Song Dynasty was able to establish a country for such a long time. Not only did it not lack of generals, but it also did not lack of famous generals.
Except for Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others during the founding period of the People's Republic of China, Di Qing has been working his way up from the bottom step by step over the years.
Others have another unified name in the Song Dynasty, Generals of the Song Dynasty!
There are many famous people here, such as the Yang family generals who are well known to everyone in later generations, but at this time, Zhao Huan wants to say that the marketing accounts of later generations are indeed bastards.
Dare to talk nonsense just to attract attention.
Yang Ye, known as Yang Wudi, was a world-famous brave general when he was in the Northern Han Dynasty. He cooperated with Pan Mei, who was Zhao Da's fierce general, and they had a tacit understanding. They jointly defended the enemy several times and defeated the Liao people.
And Yang Ye did have seven sons. Among them, the eldest Yanlang was the deputy envoy of Chongyi, and the second Yanyu was also a famous general in the Song Dynasty. As for the others, Yanpu and Yanxun were both enshrined officials, and Yanhuan, Yangui, and Yanbin were both For the palace to be straight.
After all, these people are all generals of the Song Dynasty. Their official positions may not be high, but they are indeed generals.
It's just that the first general of the Song Dynasty was not very lucky. The so-called invincible Yang Ye took six of his seven sons and died in a battle with the general Wang Guiyi and Chen Jiagukou.
Yang Ye ended up with more than ten wounds on his body, and even though all his soldiers were dead, he was still able to kill hundreds of Liao people with his own hands. In the end, he simply went on a hunger strike and died.
This Yang Wudi is indeed worthy of his name of invincibility.
Yang Ye's eldest son Yang Yanlang changed his name to Yang Yanzhao in later generations after his father and brother died in battle.
He is known as the second-generation famous general of the Yang family of the Song Dynasty, but later because he was really ignorant of government affairs, he was deceived by Zhou Zheng, a petty officer in the army. In the end, when the matter got serious, he was warned by the original Zhenzong.
Although Yang Yanzhao was never punished after that, the Yang family also declined.
Yang Yanzhao had three sons in his life, Yang Chuanyong, Yang Dezheng, and Yang Wenguang. Among them, only Yang Wenguang was famous, but he could not compare with his grandfather or even his father.
In the end, the official position was not high. After his death, the Yang family completely declined, and there has never been anyone who has reached the stage since then.
By the way, it has only been fifty years since Yang Wenguang died, and the Yang family has almost completely declined.
Similar to the Yang family, there is the Huyan family, that is, Huyanzan, who is famous for his bravery, and his four sons.
There are four people, Huyan Bixing, Huyan Bigai, Huyan Biqiu, and Huyan Bixian. Unfortunately, they come from bad families, and none of these four guys can do anything.
After that, the Huyan lineage is still preserved at the current position. The lineage was a fierce general of the Song Dynasty called Iron Whip Huyanchuo, and then surrendered to Song Jiang...
Now the grass on the grave is already three feet tall.
Of course, there is another lineage, the real fierce general of the Song Dynasty, Hu Yantong!
Zhao Huan has sent people to search for him, but there is no news yet. If nothing unexpected happens, he should finally join Han Shizhong's command and fight the enemy bravely.
In addition to the Yang family and the Huyan family, there are two other famous generals in the Song Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have shouldered half of the sky of the Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty destroyed the family, and the Great Song Dynasty planted the family.
The Zhe family was descended from Zhe Yuqing, the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty. Of course, in Zhao Huan's view, Zhe Yuqing was considered the son of a general.
Zhe Yuqing was the grandson of Zhe Congruan, the military commander of the Jingnan Army, the second son of Zhe Deku, the military commander of the Yong'an Army, and the younger brother of Zhe Yuxun, the military commander of the Taining Army.
At that time, Zhe Yuqing was not a big figure. Thanks to the blessing of his family background, he got the name of a famous general, but he couldn't help but think that the Zhe family was really pretty.
Zhe Yuqing's son, Zhe Wei Zheng, served as an envoy to Luoyuan and knew the affairs of the state; Zhe Wei Chang, served as an official to be the governor of Xingzhou; Zhe Wei Xin, served as an official of worship; Zhe Wei Zhong, served as an official knowing military affairs.
They are all well-known figures in the Song Dynasty.
Several of Zhe Weizhong's sons were also outstanding, especially Zhe Jimin, who was well versed in military literature and was resourceful and good at making decisions.
Zhe Jizu was even more brave and good at fighting, and could be called a fierce general.
The fifth generation Zhe Kexing was a key figure in the expedition to Xixia. He beheaded many people, was brave and good at fighting, and lived up to the bravery of the Zhe family.
It can be said that since the Zhe family has been hereditary governor of Fuzhou for more than 200 years, almost all the men of the five generations of the Zhe family have been sent to the battlefield, from the Khitan to the Northern Han Dynasty, and from the Northern Han Dynasty to the Xixia people.
The Zhe family is either a vanguard or a commander. There is only one ending for them, and that is to die in battle.
But unfortunately, the Zhe family is too brave, or they are just brave. Even though they are resourceful and decisive, and even though they are quite proficient in the art of war, they are the remnants of the orthodox five generations.
No one dares to trust them.
The fucked-up character of the five generations of generals made them suffer a lot. Even if it took two hundred years and the lives of hundreds of family members, they could not win the trust of the people in the world.
Not only did the court distrust him, but the people also distrusted him. This made the Zhe family a general of the Song Dynasty who was doomed to tragedy.
Compared with the Zhe family, which was doomed to be miserable, the Zhong clan, another general in the Song Dynasty, was much luckier.
First of all, compared to several other generals, the Zhong family was much nobler. The ancestors of Zhongshi Dao, or the people who rose up in the Zhong family were not generals.
It was this famous Confucian scholar from the Song Dynasty who was a serious Confucian with eight hundred children.
When he was not an official, he was a famous hermit in the Song Dynasty. After he entered the official career, he was praised by countless people. The speed of his official promotion was simply frightening.
Later, Zhong Fang's nephew Zhong Shiheng took advantage of his uncle's reputation as a great scholar to join the military, taking on both civil and military roles.
When the official arrived, he was envoyed by Dong Ran Yuan, and was under the jurisdiction of Huanqing Road soldiers and horses.
Moreover, Zhong Shiheng was very lucky, and he happened to meet Fan Zhongyan, the person in charge of the Qingli New Deal, known as the first reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In order to be able to achieve results, Fan Zhongyan really entrusted Zhong Shiheng with a heavy responsibility.
He single-handedly promoted him to be the person in charge of military affairs in the northwest, which can be said to be a high-ranking position.
However, Zhong Shiheng did not disappoint anyone. He also served as a general on the border of Xixia, recruiting the Qiang people, building cities and pacifying the border, and cleverly used alienation tactics to remove Xixia Emperor Li Yuanhao's confidant generals Yeli Ganglangleng and Yeliyu. Begging brother.
It can be said that based on these two choices, even though Zhong Shiheng was a fledgling boy, everyone in the Song Dynasty was more willing to believe in this sect.
After all, this is one of our own.
Similarly, the power of Zhong Shiheng also opened up the Zhong family, the last general of the Song Dynasty - the Zhong family of the Western Army.
Like Hedong Zhejia, the Western Army is stationed in the western border area of Guanzhong.
Zhong Shiheng gave birth to eight sons in total, namely Zhongji, Zhongjian, Zhongzhe, Zhongyong, Zhonge, Zhongsuo, Zhongji, and Zhongyi. Among them, Zhongji, Zhongjian, and Zhonge had outstanding military achievements, and the people of Guanzhong Call them "three".
It can be said that the Zhong family has never lost face.
After three kinds, it is the general who Zhao Huan wants to welcome now, Zhongshi Dao.
To be honest, compared to the Zhong family, which is a sect of teachers, today Zhao Huan prefers the Zhe family, which is famous for its loyalty and bravery. Although Zhe Kexing is dead, one of his two sons is very talented, and the other is directly in history. Surrendered the Jin people.
But Zhao Huan really couldn't say anything about this matter.
After all, after two hundred years of Zhejia and the lives of hundreds of family members, nothing was gained in the end, not even the most basic trust. Even if Zhao Huan knew that there was a good reason for this kind of thing, he felt that Zhejia had done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
However, Zhe Kexing's two sons were beyond his reach at this time. The only person he could use at this time was the old husband of the Zhong family, Zhong Shidao.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhong has arrived a hundred miles away. Do we want to inform him?" After Tong Guan, who was responsible for inquiring about the news, passed the news back, Zhao Huan took a deep breath and stood up directly.
"Tell Yao Pingzhong to take the soldiers he has just trained, notify Zhao Ding and other ministers, and follow me fifty miles out of the city to meet him."
Zhao Huan gave an order and the whole city of Kaifeng immediately started to move. First, after receiving the news, all the ministers had their thoughts changed, but it was too late to stop it.
Moreover, preventing Zhao Huan from welcoming Zhongshi Dao at this time would be tantamount to offending Zhongshi Dao.
They were also afraid that if the master said a word, the students would tear them apart, so they packed up neatly and found their own places to follow Zhao Huan out.
Tong Guan also immediately sent out a fast horse to stop the master.
They found out that Zhongshi Dao was a hundred miles away, and then rushed back to Kaifeng to report all the way. And if Zhongshi Dao is not allowed to stop now, I am afraid that Zhongshi Dao will meet them before they reach the place. By that time, what will happen? Your Majesty was really unprepared and was really embarrassed.
Fifty miles outside Kaifeng City, Zhao Huan looked at Zhongshi Dao who was riding his horse and couldn't help but feel a little surge in his heart. No matter what, this was a minister he must rely on more in the future.
Whether he can successfully seize power and whether he can completely secure the throne depends on his attitude.
"Zhong Qing traveled a long distance, it was really hard..." When Zhao Huan saw that Zhong Shidao was a hundred steps away, he immediately reined in his horse, jumped off and walked quickly towards him, he felt his heart drop. Half done.
But his enthusiasm was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhong Shidao as soon as it started.
"Old minister Zhong Shidao pays homage to His Majesty and wishes His Majesty the Holy Body and good health.
The veteran has come a long way and is unable to perform a full salute while wearing armor. I hope your majesty will forgive me. "
"Qing Zhong is not like this. You and I, my monarch and my ministers..."
"But there is one thing I still want to advise your Majesty." Zhong Shidao once again interrupted Zhao Huan, "Your Majesty is rich in gold, how can you come here to welcome your ministers.
How can I, a defeated general and a guilty person, do this? This is inconsistent with etiquette! "
After these words, Zhao Huan's smile froze on his face, because he knew that this was because the old general was angry!
