Chapter 221: Restoring Bianjing (Part 2) (2)
Chapter 221: Restoration of Bianjing (Part 2) (2)
Time was lost little by little under Li Jun and his team's expectations. They originally expected that there would be some movement in the city, but there was no movement for a long time. Liao Shenggong and Zheng Jinghe had already begun to get restless. These two people have always been known for their calmness and calmness. It is really difficult to make them restless, but this matter is too great. If the shelling is successful and Kublai Khan has a problem, the benefits are too many to say, and he cannot help but be heartbroken.
Li Jun had a thick eyebrows and said, "General Liao obeyed the order!"
"I am here." Liao Shenggong hurriedly responded. For Liao Shenggong, Li Jun's order must be a good solution and full of expectations.
Li Jun said resolutely: "Order the artillery to adjust its seats, aim at the city gate and bomb. Blast open the city gate and attack the city immediately."
It is good to attack the city immediately, but if the Mongols are angry and destroy them, the consequences will be very serious. Li Jun just mentioned this point, and Liao Shenggong reminded Li Jun with concern: "But, Your Majesty, if the Tartars destroy it..."
Li Jun waved his hand and interrupted him and said, "It is because we are afraid of the Tartars' destruction that we should attack the city immediately so that the Tartars have no time to destroy it. Remember, the movements must be fierce and fast!"
Liao Shenggong was a smart man, and he immediately understood and said, "The emperor was so proud! Kublai Khan was shot and there was no movement in the city for a long time. He must have been injured by my artillery. Even if he did not hurt him, he was shocked. He attacked the city before he could react and attacked the city in one fell swoop, and annihilated the Tatars' army with lightning speed. Bianjing could finish the city and return to Song."
The reason is this truth, but Zheng Jinghe's performance is very different from the past, complaining: "General Liao, the emperor wants you to attack the city, but you are here to explain the emperor's intention, wherever he is following, you are missing the opportunity."
Liao Shenggong reminded Zheng Jinghe, slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am so happy that I am a little confused. In the past, I was still like this, what's wrong today? I always nagged endlessly."
"That's because Bian Jing is about to recover, and you are excited." Li Jun pointed out Liao Shenggong's actions in his heart.
With a command, several platoons of cannons hit the city gate and the suspension bridge was smashed down. Under the command of Liao Shenggong and Zheng Jinghe, the Song army rushed in like a tide.
A hundred years ago, the Song Dynasty moved south, so hasty and sad. Now, under the command of Li Jun, the Song army invaded Bianjing with a mighty and majestic voice. It is exciting to think of it, and it really makes people feel a profound difference.
Bian Jing, I think friends who are familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty are definitely familiar with it. However, I think not everyone can do it to specifically mention the historical events, historical celebrities, and status in Chinese history.
Bianjing is located on the shore of the Yellow River and has a very superior geographical location. It is the pearl of the hinterland of the Central Plains. According to research, it has been more than 2,700 years since its establishment. During the Warring States Period, the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, Northern Song and Jin dynasties were successively established in Kaifeng, so it is called the "Seven Dynasties Metropolis". Kaifeng is known as the seven ancient capitals together with Xi'an, Luoyang, Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Anyang in China.
According to historians' research, the earliest capital was not the Wei State in the Warring States Period, but the Xia Dynasty, the first slave dynasty in Chinese history. It took 157 years and was called Laoqiu. The Shang Dynasty built its capital for 27 years and was called Xiao. It was later abandoned.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zhuang of Zheng built a granary here, taking the meaning of "Qitongxian", so he was named Qifeng. In the Western Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Qi, he changed his name to Kaifeng. It has been this day. This is the origin of Kaifeng.
Although the capitals here include the Wei State during the Warring States Period, the Liang, Jin, Han and Zhou State during the Five Dynasties, and later Jin State, the most reminiscent of the Northern Song Dynasty was the Northern Song Dynasty. One of the most important reasons why people think that his capital was Kaifeng when they heard about the Northern Song Dynasty was weak, and Kaifeng was thrown away. Until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, it became the most regrettable historical tragedy in Chinese history.
After the Chen Qiao of Song Dynasty, the capital was established here after the mutiny of Chen Qiao. The nine emperors of Taizu, Taizong, Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, Zhezong, Huizong, and Qinzong were 168 years old. The two Song dynasties were weak and were very dissatisfied, but Song Taizu still completed the basic unification of the country. Of course, these unifications required the Yanyun land, northeast, northwest, Tibet, and Xinjiang. The great cause of unification completed by Song Dynasty was only the Central Plains, Jiangnan, South China, and Southwest.
In this way, the development of Bianjing also entered a golden age, with prosperity and prosperity reaching prosperity, beautiful scenery, gathering characters, magnificent city walls, and developed economy. Its grand occasion was well reflected in Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and Meng Yuanlao's "Dream of Tokyo" by Meng Yuanlao. The ancients praised it as "a population of more than one million, and goods gathered in the north and south", and was the political, economic and cultural center of the country at that time. It deserves the reputation of "Qi Shu Mingxia Wufeng Tower, Yimen has been the emperor's prefecture since ancient times" and "Bianjing is rich and unparalleled in the world".
At the same time, Kaifeng was also the most important international metropolis in China at that time. Historical books praised it as "the eight destinies competed for the gathering, and all countries communicated", which shows its importance to the outside world.
Kaifeng has many talented people and many historical celebrities born here, including many famous historical celebrities who became household names thousands of years later.
Zhang Yi, known for his deceitfulness and wisdom, was from Kaifeng. He was a student of Guiguzi, a famous hermit in the Warring States Period. Guiguzi was a famous hermit in Chinese history. The four most famous students trained were: Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Sun Bin and Pang Juan. Sun Bin's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao became a strange strategy in the history of Chinese wars. Friends know it, so I won't say much.
After Su Qin went down the mountain, he asked to see King Huiwen of Qin, and wanted to use this to motivate King Huiwen of Qin. At that time, King Huiwen of Qin killed Shang Yang and had no good feelings for the lobbyist. He knew that he was talented but did not use him. In a fit of anger, Su Qin decided to oppose Qin. With his three-inch tongue, he persuaded the six Shandong countries to join forces to deal with the powerful Qin. Because the Shandong Gate at that time, from Yan State to Chu State at the north, the south, the vertical stroke of the stroke was called Zong, so his strategy was the famous strategy of Tongzong in history.
King Huiwen of Qin later regretted losing Su Qin. Zhang Yi entered Qin under Su Qin's design. When he saw King Huiwen of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin admired him very much and valued him. However, there was a gentleman agreement between Zhang Yi and Su Qin, and he never made plans for King Huiwen of Qin. Until Su Qin was assassinated and died, the gentleman agreement was invalid for Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi said that "I can finally show my tongue." He presented a strategy to King Huiwen of Qin to break the strategy of Su Qin's alliance with the clan, which was a strategy of alliance. It means that if Qin joins any of the six countries in Shandong, he can destroy the legacy of Su Qin, and this country is Qi. By Fan Sui, this strategy was developed into a famous strategy of "family and close attacks". Until Qin Shihuang unifies China, he also used this strategy. The initiator was Zhang Yi.
Another historical celebrity who had a significant influence on Chinese history in Kaifeng was Wei Liao. Speaking of this person, perhaps not many friends know about it, but friends who are familiar with the history of the Qin Dynasty must know him and also know his outstanding contributions to Chinese history. Qin Emperor and Han Wu were the two most accomplished emperors in Chinese history. Qin Shihuang created the unified pattern of China, while Han Wu Emperor created the first heyday in Chinese history, and his civil and military achievements were at its peak.
Emperor Wu of Han’s greatest historical achievement was to defeat the Huns and stabilize the northern border. Looking at the thirty-year wars carried out by Emperor Wu of Han, it can be said that he promoted the military reforms of the Western Han Dynasty and he also formulated the military strategy of the Western Han Dynasty. In our current words, he was his own chief of staff. In other words, he did not have a good military adviser. As for famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, they only had strong execution capabilities and could turn his strategic intentions into reality. They did not make any great achievements in the strategy of the Western Han Dynasty.
However, Qin Shihuang was not the case. He had a good chief of staff, and this man was Wei Liao. His military achievements were concentrated in his book "Yu Liaozi", which is one of the "Seven Books of the Martial Classics".
After Wei Liaojin met Qin Shihuang because Li Si designed to kill Han Feizi, Qin Shihuang was very unhappy because Qin Shihuang knew that although Han Fei had a stuttering disease, he was still a rare talent. He wanted to achieve the imperial career of unifying China, and he needed talents like Han Fei.
Li Si killed Han Fei because he was jealous of his talent. Of course, he would not admit that Han Fei's talent was higher than him. Instead, he told Qin Shihuang that although Han Fei was talented, he was just a young talent. He knew that there was a person's talent a hundred times higher than Han Fei. After hearing this, Qin Shihuang was happy and immediately asked him to find this person, which was Wei Liaozi.
Qin Shihuang had the atrocities of burning books and burying scholars, which were despised by future generations, but he had to admit that he was broad-minded, observing his style, and was extremely arrogant. However, there was one person who received his respect, namely Wei Liaozi. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang and him had the same clothes, food and carriage. In today's words, Wei Liaozi's treatment was the same as Qin Shihuang. He wore whatever Qin Shihuang wore, he ate whatever Qin Shihuang ate, and he took the car whatever Qin Shihuang took. Throughout Qin Shihuang's life, there was only one person who received such high-standard treatment. None of the rest did not have such treatment, even the veteran Wang Jian and the famous general Meng Tian did not.
Wei Liaozi played the role of "Chief of General Staff" in the Unification War launched by Qin Shihuang, and planned all major military operations of Qin Shihuang's Unification War.
His talent can not only conquer the world, but also dismount to govern the country. He learned the Legalism and studied the study of Shang Yang. However, after Qin Shihuang completed the War of Unification, he retreated without knowing where to go. The reason why he retreated bravely was because he believed that Qin Shihuang's ape sounds and a jackal sounds, easily believed in people but was lighter than abandoning people, and the country was unified, and the people were in trouble. History proved that his foresight was correct, and what Qin Shihuang did later was all in his prophecy.
People praised the emperor's teacher Zhang Liang for his success and retreating and following Chi Song, which became a legend throughout the ages. In fact, it was fake and was used to deceive people. According to historical records, this is not true at all. The real master is this Wei Liao, whose talent is only above Zhang Liang, and never below him.
The historical celebrities born in Kaifeng include Xinlingjun, the famous Cai Yong, and his daughter Cai Wenji. The rest are like Shi Shouxin, Zheng Zhong, Ruan Ji, and Zhi Daolin. Shi Kefa in later generations was also from Kaifeng.
"Qi Shu Mingxia Wufeng Tower, Yimen has been the emperor's prefecture since ancient times." Li Jun was shocked by the prosperity of Bian Jing in front of him and blurted out. Since Bian Jing fell a hundred years ago, it has changed its master several times. After several wars, it has been preserved quite well, and there are still many shops, which is better than Li Jun imagined.
Needless to say, after the Jingkang Shame, the development of Bianjing was seriously affected due to a large population fleeing south. The Jin Dynasty was good at fighting the Long March and was not good at governance. Even so, the Chinese nation with high creativity still created miracles. Decades later, Bianjing became prosperous again. It was precisely because of the prosperity of Bianjing that after the defeat in Yehuling, the Jin Dynasty was hit by the Mongols many times and finally moved the capital to Bianjing in the face of the huge military threats of the Mongols.
The destructive nature of the Mongols was famous in history. Fortunately, the capture of Bianjing was no longer the best Genghis Khan, but Ogedei, influenced by the Taoxin of Changchun Zhenren and Yelu Chucai and others. The destructive nature has been reduced compared with the Genghis Khan era, and Bianjing was preserved. In the Kublai Khan era, in order to unify China, he took many new measures, and the Bianjing, which was destroyed by war, was rebuilt, and the discrete people were able to gather, creating a prosperous scene as before.
After chanting, Li Jun sighed: "It's a pity that such a great country has fallen into the hands of foreign races. It's a great misfortune of China!"
"Fortunately, Lai Tian has surrendered to the emperor with such a talent, Bian Jing has returned to the Song Dynasty!" An excited voice sounded behind him.
Li Jun turned his head and looked at it. It was Liao Shenggong. He was riding on the horse, gasping for breath, and his eyes were filled with tears. Liao Shenggong was commanding the battle and rushed over. There must be an important military report. Li Jun smiled embarrassedly and said, "As soon as I entered the city, I was attracted by the prosperity of Bianjing, and I actually forgot the important things. I am so ashamed."
"No, the emperor." Liao Shenggong, who has never opposed Li Jun, actually denied Li Jun's words and said, "That is what the emperor deserves. Since the fall of Bian Jing, many people and those who are kind and ambition have been revived for more than a hundred years, but have not succeeded. When this success is achieved, it is time to be happy. The emperor's attraction for Bian Jing means that the emperor truly loves Bian Jing, which is a blessing for China."
If it were normal, Li Jun would definitely say you, Liao Shenggong, flattering. Now Liao Shenggong is so excited that his chest is unstable. He is not saying it with his mouth, but with his heart. Li Jun had to refuse it and said, "Yes, there are more than one person who loves Bian Jing. Millions of Chinese people love our Bian Jing and our great rivers and mountains! It is their efforts that have created the iron bucket country in China! General Liao, what are you doing?"
Liao Shenggong then remembered that he had a great military situation to report to Li Jun, and hurriedly calmed down and said, "Master, the battle in the city has basically ended, and the remaining battle will not take long to end. But, but, is there any trace of Kublai Khan, the Tartar."
There is a way of saying that there are three holes of cunning rabbits. It is reasonable for a big man like Kublai Khan to have more hiding places. Li Jun comforted him and said, "Don't worry, block all the passages first, and then search. Even if you plow the city of Bianjing a few times, you must find him. Without the path, you will not worry about flying into the sky."
"However, the emperor, I found blood at the place where I was bombarded just now. According to my judgment, it is unknown that Kublai Khan killed us." Liao Shenggong speculated.
He was talking about bombing Kublai Khan with thirty steel cannons. Since there was blood, it was possible for Kublai Khan to bomb. Li Jun nodded and said, "It's possible. However, it may also be the blood of others. No matter what, you must find it. Has Babur found it?"
"Go back to the emperor, not yet." Liao Shenggong said helplessly.
Zheng Jinghe flew over and Li Jun asked, "Is there good news for General Zheng?"
Zheng Jinghe flew off the horse, bowed to Li Jun, and said, "Back to the emperor, the good news is that there is one, Shi Tianze has caught us."
The talent of Shi Tianze's famous general was once Kublai Khan's left arm and right arm. It was a big fish to catch him. Li Jun was very happy and said, "This traitor has finally been arrested and did a good job. Where did he catch it?"
"Go back to the emperor, on the Yellow River." Zheng Jinghe replied: "He wanted to escape back to the north of the Yellow River. When our navy discovered it, he caught him."
Li Jun admired it very much and said, "It's done well. Have you ever asked him if he knows where Kublai Khan is?"
"I have asked, but Shi Tianze doesn't know either. The Tartar army broke up for us, and the generals fled, and they didn't know each other. Even Temuer still didn't know whereabouts." Zheng Jinghe reported truthfully.
The army was most disorderly when it retreated. After being hit hard by the Song army, the Mongolian team was defeated. One part could not be connected with the other part. It was very normal and there was no need to be surprised at all. Li Jun said: "If you catch one, there will be two. The Yellow River is completely blocked, and one person must not be allowed to cross the Yellow River."
"I understand!" Zheng Jinghe nodded.
Li Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Also, immediately order Xu Guanghan's special forces to track it. For generals like Babul and Timuer, they can be captured alive, and if they cannot be captured alive, they must be killed. They must not be allowed to escape, so as not to cause difficulties in crossing the river to fight in the next stage. For Kublai Khan, he must be confident if he wants to see people and corpses in his life!"
