Chapter 99 The History of Shenwu Great Song Dynasty
More than a hundred years ago, Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty was appointed as the posthumous title: Emperor Yingli, Longmother, Demons, Constitution, Suzhou, Martials, Rui, Shengxuanxiao!
According to normal historical records, the next thing should be after Song Shenzong and Song Zhezong, who had the same posthumous title, had a long posthumous title and had a high rise. Song Weizong, who had left a deep and humiliating memory in history, and Song Qinzong came to power. Then, he tried to attack the decline of Liao with the rising Jin Kingdom and regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but was embarrassed for various reasons. The Jin Kingdom saw the truth and reality. He invaded the south and easily captured the capital Bianliang, which eventually led to the capture of two emperors and many ministers, and tens of thousands of royal concubines and noble daughters being plundered and ravaged to death, or became a toy for the barbarians of the Jin Kingdom who wanted to bully and insult and trade, and lost a large area of land, property and face.
The subsequent normal development should be the Southern Song Dynasty, which was also remembering to eat but not to fight. When Mongolia rose on the grassland decades later, it also tried to contact Mongolia to attack the declining Jin Kingdom. When it was washed away, it encountered the "Jingkang Shame" it encountered, but it encountered the Mongolian cavalry that swept into Europe, Central Asia, and India. In the process of continuous self-death and internal friction, it was finally swallowed up by the Yuan Dynasty, which was in the rising period.
But in this plane world, after Song Yingzong was on the spot, another different emperor came to power.
After the emperor died, he was posthumously nicknamed "The Supreme Emperor of Tianyuan Unification of Shenjian Wuxun" (hereinafter referred to as Shenwu Emperor), and it can be roughly seen what kind of cruel character this Shenwu Emperor was. When Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom was just revealed, the Liao Kingdom was in a slow decline. Emperor Shenwu, who had just inherited the throne for a long time, began to brake the strange army of the Song Dynasty!
To be honest, the Song Dynasty military system in this plane has not changed much. It is still a strange imperial guard, a combination of the Xiang army and the township soldiers.
As the main force and well-equipped imperial guards, they were used to gather refugee young and strong and local guards, and then basically had temporary rural soldiers. Three parts of troops with more than one million people (the reign of Emperor Weizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song, almost more than two million) constituted all the military forces of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The problem is that the wealth level of the Song Dynasty was definitely the first-class. Unfortunately, the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin was a military general who was highly meritorious and conquered the lord to seize power. The famous example of "yellow robe" was placed in front, allowing the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin and the subsequent emperors to strictly guard the military generals in charge, and even did not hesitate to use means such as belittling the honor of military generals and soldiers, raising the status of civil servants in the imperial examination, to sacrifice the combat effectiveness of the army to ensure that there would be no second "yellow robe" latecomer.
As a result, more than a hundred years of peace, coupled with the many situations of slackness and court party struggles, the military power of the Song Dynasty (at least in the late Northern Song Dynasty attack on the Jin Dynasty) showed a straight dive. When Emperor Shenwu first came to power, most of the imperial guards stationed around Bianliang could not fight, and most of the remaining few combat-capable border troops were close to the Xixia side!
When the border army still had a certain combat effectiveness. When other imperial guards, wing troops and village soldiers were comparing each other, Emperor Shenwu, who had just come to power, did not take action rashly, but began to win over the border army with combat effectiveness, and then took the initiative to make military adjustments.
Elite border troops and imperial guards were drawn to exchange them!
The status of military generals and the army was raised and the civil servant faction began to fight!
Clean up the parts of the imperial guards that have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and start reorganizing the truly combat-effective imperial guards...
Anyway, in the memory of "The King and the Prince", in the secret records of the family, over two years, Emperor Shenwu used various means to suppress the strength of the civil servant faction, which made the Wuxun family, which was almost raised as a pig, begin to rise, and the collection of the imperial guards and border troops was a great success, firmly grasping the strength of the army.
Emperor Shenwu's next action was not to continue to suppress the short-lived civil servant faction, but to personally order the border troops defending Xixia to attack Caogu, and began several years of conquest against Xixia.
It has to be said that after deducting the blind command of the emperor, civil servants and eunuchs above, the emperor personally expressed support to the border army. All kinds of food and grass and rewards were not lacking, the border army of the Song Dynasty still showed a relatively capable attitude. After several years of tug-of-war, the Song Dynasty, which was highly bloody and rich and wealthy, dragged down the not-so-large Xixia. The Dangxiang clan was even more regarded as slaves, and the horse farm and horses made up for the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty's lack of cavalry!
The most important thing is that the battle of the demise of Western Xia successfully increased the prestige of Emperor Shenwu, and even approached the founding Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin. The subsequent meritorious general was granted a marquis and rewarded a lot, and successfully began to determine the improvement of the status of the military. The civil servant system that originally wanted to turn the tables had to pinch his nose and accept this reality. According to secret records, during the war with Western Xia in those years, the civil servant system caused many troubles to Emperor Shenwu and the border army, but in the end they were stopped by Emperor Shenwu and unswervingly supported the border army, which led to the feat of the border army's attack on the capital of the Western Xia kings and their country!
Similarly, during those years, the Liao Kingdom was not doing anything to watch the Song Dynasty destroy the Western Xia. In the first two years, the Liao Kingdom discovered that the Song Dynasty under Emperor Shenwu had not produced any demon moths that could lead the blindly and drag their legs. When it was ready to intervene in order to prevent the Song Dynasty from succeeding, it had already lost the best opportunity to take action.
As soon as Xixia was killed, Emperor Shenwu began to reward military generals and soldiers with large amounts of money, and to be granted marquis and reward troops to parade the streets and other methods were carried out one by one. In conjunction with many subsequent actions, he promoted the martial style of the Song Dynasty!
When the Liao Kingdom continued to decline and Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom, began to rise, the Northern Song Dynasty had already eliminated the threats of Western Xia and Tubo around it. Then Emperor Shenwu first sold a lot of old weapons to the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong and other places, causing the Jurchen tribes to defeat the Liao Kingdom in a mess, and then turned around and sold more weapons to the Liao Kingdom in a hard battle. At the critical moment, he recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, completely completed the unification of the key areas in the north, and occupied the initiative when competing with the Liao Kingdom.
During the decades of war, during the reign of Emperor Shenwu, he forced the Western Xia and Dali to perish, and the Tubo tribes were severely damaged and surrendered. The Song army even restored the Song Dynasty's territory to the former Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty's Western Regions, and even directly opened up the areas of Central Asia and India from land. In addition, it was said that it had arrived in Europe and Africa's maritime trade, the Song Dynasty had reached its peak. However, the Liao Kingdom, which still exists, was suppressed outside the pass. The Liao Kingdom, which had recovered some of its combat effectiveness, even occupied some of the grasslands, but with those grassland nomadic peoples that had not formed a joint force, obediently bowed to the Song Dynasty and started trade with Tibetan Buddhism that had been introduced to the grasslands and outside the pass.
If it were just this, Wang Chen might not be able to confirm the specific situation of this plane world!
However, in the memory of the "King and Prince", the martial arts that are popular in this plane world and have the existence of a martial arts master who can compete with one hundred, has determined that this should be a martial arts plane world.
The key information is that during the era of Emperor Shenwu, the king of the Southern Court of Liao, who preserved a lot of territory in the Liao Kingdom and defeated the Jurchen tribes, was called Xiao Feng, and he also used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The secret record of the Marquis' Mansion said that the situation of this Southern Court was actually the leader of the Beggars' Sect in the Song Dynasty. This information alone made countless divine beasts in Wang Chen's heart rush past!
It is not only Xiao Feng, the king of the South Court, who looks familiar. The martial arts that are popular in this plane world and some sects that even "kings and princes" know about the world. For example, the Beggar Sect, whose power and power were greatly weakened since the era of Emperor Shenwu, were greatly weakened. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which were full of taboos towards the royal family, were included in the secret treasures of the Song Dynasty royal family. The Shaolin, which was suppressed by Emperor Shenwu, Buddhism once again imposed taxes on Buddhism. The Shaolin, which was famous for the Taoist 72 unique skills, once caused trouble in the late period of Emperor Shenwu.
The Manichaeism in the Southern Kingdom and the Golden Sword of the King of Heaven, as well as the Tianwusi, which was composed of people in martial arts in the Song Dynasty, and the eunuchs who were said to be the surveillance, are very good at martial arts. They are called the Sunflower Book and ordered to surrender by Emperor Shenwu. They have now been promoted to Tibetan Buddhism outside the pass and on the grassland. It is said that their widely circulated Dharma protector skills are called the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, and the Duan clan, who was good at the Dali Destruction Kingdom...
...
"T.M.D! If there is nothing wrong with the Emperor Shenwu in this plane, I will eat all the martial arts novels and history books in Jin Yong's series!"
After sorting out the history of Emperor Shenwu of the Great Song Dynasty in his memory and the secret information about the circulating of the Hou Mansion in his mind, the first thought that Wang Chen came up with his mind was that the world was really in chaos.
I'll take a look. This is obviously the plane world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, right?!
It should be "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" or the plane world of Jin Yong's martial arts? It should be true?!
But, what is the God of Emperor Shenwu now? What is the ghost of the Liao Kingdom? The Song Dynasty occupied the entire world, and it is even said that it may expand to colonize Central Asia, India and even Southeast Asia. What should be possible now? There is also the subsequent The Legend of the Condor Heroes...
Wang Chen, who was complaining in his heart, now closed his mind and explained the general situation of this plane world to Saeko Mushima and Saya Takashima, and emphasized that this is a possible chaotic martial arts world!
"Chen, do you think this world does not develop according to the situation of the novel?"
I don’t know the specific situation of the martial arts novels of the Song Dynasty and Jin Yong, but I only know that Gaocheng Shaye, who is probably a history, is not as entangled as Wang Chen, but directly asks the key questions.
"That's right! Some martial arts in this world seem familiar, but they are completely incompatible with the situation of that novel."
Regarding Saya Takashima's questions and Saeko Mushima's gaze, Wang Chen spread his hands helplessly and said simply: "Perhaps, a more straightforward statement. I think this plane world is in line with the content of martial arts novels I know. Don't have any hope for anything else, treat it as a strange world!"
"Then, what do we do now?"
Saeko Mushima didn't quite understand the various resentments contained in Wang Chen's words, so she directly asked the key questions.
Chapter completed!
