The real Taiyi came here for a visit

Chapter 21 The seeds of the devil are sprouting!
Tokyo!

The night in October is already chilly, but it can't hide the bustling night market in Tokyo.

The old mother in a leather jacket and a big teapot with red flowers on her head are at the gate of Goulan, and they are trying their best to greet the princes, dignitaries and officials who come and go. She wears a gauze skirt, a corolla on her head, shiny bead forks, a slightly gouache face, and a crooked smile. Those spring-like eyes are fascinating the merchants downstairs.

On both sides of the Zhou Bridge of the Bianhe River in the imperial city, there are many taverns and restaurants, and the stalls everywhere are full of customers. All kinds of cries, and businessmen from all over the world flow on the main avenue, which is very lively.

There are also family members who go out to eat or watch a play, and there are young men in the poetry club who are singing poems and writing lyrics, and there are also young ladies who are choosing their favorite rouge and gouache. The front is surrounded by grandparents and grandchildren in all kinds of clothes. This lively scene spreads from the central street to the south, from Nanxunmen to the north to Xuandemen, passing through Nanxunmenli Street, Yujie Street, and passing through Longjin Bridge, after entering Suzaku Gate, enter Tianjie Street, and then go north across Zhouqiao to reach Xuande Gate.

The bustling night market is more than these four main roads!In the east city, Xuanhua Gate leads directly to Chenqiao Gate; in the west city, Dailou Gate leads directly to Ansu Gate; Xinzheng Gate in the east, west and south cities leads directly to Xinsong Gate; A bustling business scene.

Song, don't stay up all night in Tokyo!
The Song Dynasty was an era of high prosperity in commodity economy, cultural education, and scientific innovation in Chinese history. The total economic volume accounted for 20% of the world's total at that time. The big cities in China, such as the four major cities, Kaifeng in Tokyo, Henan in Xijing, Yingtian in Nanjing, and Daming in Beijing, all have night markets.The rapid development of science and technology, the compass, gunpowder, and movable type printing accounted for three of the four great inventions, so it is very good economically and culturally.

In the inner city of Kaifeng, a mansion covering an area of ​​[-] mu is located in the center of Tianjie Street. Pavilions and pavilions can be seen behind the high walls. A pair of yellow and white lanterns indicate that the owner of the mansion is named "Tong".

A tall and well-dressed man with a beard under his cheeks, skin and bones as hard as iron, wearing a blue robe and a long robe, on which auspicious clouds are printed with gold mucous membrane powder, is sitting in front of the picture of Shanghe during the Qingming Festival. Drinking warm tea, watching the information outside the customs.

He is a senior official of the imperial court, and is called the prime minister, Tong Guan by his colleagues, and he is also named Daofu (Daofu).Liang Lianzhan later scolded him on the battlefield as the first scavenger in Chinese history and the great eunuch who destroyed the ecological balance of the Song Dynasty.

A spy report tied with a red string on the desk caught his attention. There were not many words on it. It read: In mid-September, 3000 Jurchens attacked Jiangcheng in Ningzhou at night, winning a big victory, and annihilating more than [-] Liao soldiers , More than ten thousand horses were prepared for war, and the Bohai people came to rescue them but retreated without success.

Seeing this, Tong Guan used a cinnabar pen to circle the Jurchen and more than ten thousand armies on the espionage, Jurchen?Is the Jurchen of Baishan Heishui?Even a mere savage dared to fight against Qiang Liao and won. Knowing the military affairs well, he knew that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Although the town guarded by internal and external garrisons only had two thousand soldiers and horses, it was still quite a lot. city, let alone a land in the north.

The city of Ningjiang Prefecture is indeed an important military town, and there are so many armaments. This will only appear when a war is launched. How could the Liao Army lose so quickly? And what happened to the Bohai Navy, although it is said Why did the affiliated army of the Liao army retreat? Was it defeated?

Questions rang out in Tong Guan's mind, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

Most of the people in the DPRK know that Tong Guan advocates resisting the Liao Dynasty. This idea is actually supported by the current emperor Song Huizong, but the Liao state is powerful and powerful. The "Chanyuan Alliance" shows the strength of the Liao state, and Liao became the boss .

Xixia and Song, the two younger brothers, have been at war with each other for many years, and the boss will come out to persuade the two younger brothers to fight, but often Song wins and will send money, food and supplies to Xixia. Say I'm sorry, I was wrong, even if I win, I will be slapped by the opponent's parents and demand compensation.Therefore, most of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty wanted to take back Youzhou, and Song Huizong was no exception. He also sent troops to attack Liao in his dreams, not to destroy but just to take back Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.

Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were ceded to Khitan in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in the third year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty (938 A.D.).

Later Jin Shi Jingtang recognized Liao Emperor Taizong Yelu Deguang as "Father", and led the foreign Khitan people into the customs to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty. When this son no longer calls him "Father", this father will destroy his son!
Youyun (Yanyun) sixteen prefectures, specifically Youzhou (Beijing City), Shunzhou (Beijing Shunyi District), Ruzhou (Beijing Yanqing District), Tanzhou (Beijing Miyun District); Zhuozhou (Hebei Zhuozhou), Yingzhou (Hejian, Hebei), Yanzhou (Renqiu North, Hebei), Xinzhou (Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province), Guizhou (Huailai County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province), Wuzhou (Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province), Weizhou ( Zhangjiakou, Hebei); Yingzhou (Yingxian, Shanxi), Huanzhou (East of Shuozhou, Shanxi), Shuozhou (City of Shuozhou, Shanxi), Yunzhou (Yunzhou District, Datong, Shanxi) Jizhou (Jizhou District, Tianjin) ).

This piece of land about 600 kilometers long from east to west, 200 kilometers from north to south, and 12 square kilometers in area is a strategically important land in history. Why, the simplest reason is that the Great Wall appeared densely here.The terrain is complex and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are lofty mountains and the Yanshan Mountains in the north. After crossing the Yanshan Mountains and going north, here is the real grassland culture. It is connected to the Taihang Mountains in the north. After the foreigners pass, it will be the North China Plain. Once the Ma Jun arrives There is no danger to defend.

Did the Northern Song Dynasty fight against Youzhou?Have.Most of the real history and the stories that have been handed down to this day come from here. There were several wars before Song Huizong.

Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi conquered Youzhou for the first time, and Gaoliang River was defeated. Zhao Guangyi had to flee in a donkey cart. Therefore, he was fond of the reputation of "Gaolianghe Chariot God" and won a Zhao Paopao award.

Zhao Paopao, who didn't know anything about military affairs, saw the death of Liao Jingzong. Empress Dowager Xiao listened to the government behind the curtain. He died in a fierce battle, and it was later rumored that the other six sons were all dead. The monk who became a monk was arrested as a married couple.I don't know who has such a deep hatred with the Yang family, even the orphans and widows, the story of Madam She taking command, and Mu Guiying conquering the West
Under the insistence of the prime minister Kou Zhun of the main combat faction, Song Zhenzong, Zhao Heng, marched in person and carried out a defensive counterattack, defeating the Liao army in Chanyuan. The Song Dynasty wanted to send money to the eldest brother Liao every year to buy peace.

With so much history as a foreshadowing, Tong Guan, who is the main combatant, must also want to attack Liao and take back Youzhou. First, the needs of political and military factors. Second, the most important thing is the sentence of Song Shenzong Zhao Xu before his death. If anyone who can take You Yun back will be king, Tong Guan wants to be king, even though he is a eunuch, but he has more ambition and ambition than some birdmen with birds.So he spent a lot of time on Liao's intelligence, especially on military activities, which he needs to know like the back of his hand!
From then on, a bold idea lingered in his heart, and it was also a super cheating idea. The seeds of the devil were sprouting!
