A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The Liao Kingdom incorporated many foreigners during its expansion, which can be seen from their military establishment.

In terms of official system, the Liao Kingdom was divided into north and south, each with its own differences.

Needless to say, the officials in the north were the system and people of the Liao Kingdom itself.

The southern official refers to Yanyun and other places.

The population of these places is dominated by Han people. Because the rule of the Liao Kingdom was too brutal, many uprisings broke out in the past.

Later, the Liao people realized that it was not a problem to continue like this, so they changed their toughness to softness and established the southern official system.

The so-called southern officials, the official system continued from the former Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, including Zhongshu Sheng, Menxia Sheng... governors who participated in politics... everything.

The north was ruled by the Liao Kingdom's own method, and the Han people in the south were mostly farming for a living, so they were ruled by the pre-Han system. This was the Liao version of One Kingdom, Two Countries.

But the status of the Han people is still inferior. For example, the Liao people can be officials in the south, but the Han people cannot go to the north to be officials, so they can only stay in the south.

Moreover, the officials from the south were born one head shorter than the officials from the north. It is probably like the warriors of the Song Dynasty who were born one head shorter than the literati.

This kind of discrimination is quite obvious. In order to appease the Han people, the Liao people stipulated that Liao people must wear Han clothes when they serve as officials in the south. And as long as they are officials in the south, regardless of whether they are Han or Liao, they will be called Han officials.

This Han official is the Nanmian official, and he looks very energetic.

"Looking at the history books, I have never seen envoys setting fires... Shen An, don't you care if your ancestors are humiliated? If they knew about it underground, they would definitely open the coffin, roar to the sky, and regret giving birth to such an unworthy descendant like you... "

Han Guan spoke heartily, and Cao Yan looked at Shen An worriedly, "An Bei, just think he farts!"

This Han official's scolding was so unpleasant that after receiving the message from behind, Yelu Hongji stroked his beard and praised: "Such eloquence...is he a Han official?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Someone showed envy in their eyes, knowing that the Han official was about to be promoted.

Yelu Hongji said: "Turn back and ask him to come to me."

Tsk tsk!

This is a step to the sky!

Han people were not allowed to serve as officials in the north, but Yelu Hongji promoted this Han man to his own side because of his excellent eloquence and his ability to scold him heartily.

The future is bright!

Everyone exchanged glances and planned to get close to the Han official later, so as to form a good relationship in advance.

Yelu Hongji smiled and said: "That Shen An was scolded so much that he was speechless. I'm so relieved, hahahaha!"

The Han official over there was scolding him bitterly, and Shen An suddenly stuck his head out and asked, "Where are your ancestors from?"

"...If someone has such unworthy descendants...what?" The Han official was stunned.

The surroundings were very quiet, and Shen An's voice was loud: "I asked where your ancestors are from?"

The Han official subconsciously said: "My ancestors are from Handan..."

Shen An asked again: "Your ancestors are from Handan, but where are you from now?"

The Han official's face immediately turned red.

"Where is Handan?"

Shen An asked step by step: "Where are your ancestors buried?"

The Han official's lips moved, "So...so..."

Shen An sighed: "Have you brought your ancestor's tablet? Do you know how to offer sacrifices?"

The Han official nodded, which meant that his family still maintained some of the living habits of the Han people, such as ancestor worship.

"But your ancestors are in Handan, in the Central Plains..."

The Han official's mood collapsed immediately and he shouted: "A certain person is from Daliao!"

"It doesn't matter where you are." Shen An said calmly: "What matters is where your heart is... You are a Han'er, but you are dominated by foreign races... Don't think that your ancestors have no eyes. If you have no eyes, you What kind of sacrifices did they make..."

"If your ancestors were alive in heaven and saw you working for a foreign race and looking so loyal, would they be angry?"

The Han official was trembling all over, and he shouted: "A certain person is a Daliao person, a certain person is a Daliao person in life, and a Daliao ghost in death."

"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild, I have a guest, playing the drum, harp and sheng... The mountains stand still, and the scenery stops..."

Shen An asked: "Do you know what these are?"

"The Book of Songs." When he said this, the Han official showed a confident smile, obviously he was very knowledgeable.

Yelu Hongji, who was behind, heard the message and praised: "He is polite and courteous. His words left Shen An speechless. This person can be of great use."

This man deserves so much praise!

Everyone was a little jealous, thinking that this person was really lucky.

"Then Shen An is just like that. If someone goes away, he will definitely be speechless."

"Yes! Such a good opportunity, what a pity."

…

"The jianjia is green, the white dew is like frost, the so-called love is on the other side of the water...the life and death are mutually exclusive, and I have said it to my son, hold my son's hand, and grow old together with my son, are these famous sentences beautiful?"

The Han official nodded. He had already recited it just now and felt the fragrance lingering on his teeth and cheeks.

"beautiful."

"But it belongs to the Han people." Shen An suddenly raised his voice, "Whether it is the Liao people or the Xixia people, they are the enemies of the Han people. They lead beasts and cannibals and are extremely vulgar. They regard the Han people as their enemies and enjoy enslaving the Han people. , is such a person worthy of reciting Han Chinese poetry? They only deserve to listen to military songs! Listening to Han Chinese military songs, they will be slaughtered by the Han people!"

Huang Chun shouted from the side: "Sing!"

"Don't you see, the Han Dynasty's army is over, and the weak-headed prisoners are asking for long tassels..."

This song spread to all parties after the military parade on the Royal Street. Because of its powerful momentum, it is most loved by people in the military.

Everyone was singing along, "Don't you see me, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun..."

Liu Ke was surrounded by singing, and he saw a sergeant singing hard and looking excited.

This is the war song of the Han people, and the Han people are naturally excited when they hear it.

"A man should be in a dangerous career, so why not let fame and fame detract from this life?"

Liu Ke was embarrassed and felt that the lyrics were a bit too much.

Will Bao Zheng be dissatisfied?

He looked at Bao Zheng.

"The country is in danger as if it were full of eggs, and the feathers and feathers are galloping without stopping!"

Bao Zheng was also singing. He thought of the difficult situation since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Isn't it the most dangerous situation?

The Song Dynasty survived in this dangerous environment and will continue to do so in the future.

In the past, the Song Dynasty was in danger, but now it is different.

Today, the Song Dynasty is booming. Whether it is the economy or the army, the Song Dynasty is constantly moving forward, making progress bit by bit.

In the past, if Yelu Hongji personally led the army to attack, Bao Zheng would probably be desperate.

But now?

Now he was singing, singing songs that made the aliens angry.

"Abandon my pen of old, but keep my composure in times of war."

Bao Zheng's eyes were moist. He held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled out the long knife...

"More than 100,000 comrades can be called upon to sing war songs and join the army together."

Liu Ke couldn't help but sing along, feeling his blood boiling.

"Qi joins the army, cleanses the dust, and vows to eradicate cruelty without regard for one's own safety!"

The song was loud and clear, and Bao Zheng suddenly pointed his sword outside the city and shouted: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

Countless soldiers waved their weapons and shouted: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

The shouts resounded through the sky, and Yelu Hongji turned pale and said, "What is this?"

He liked poetry and songs, so he could naturally understand this simple military song. He asked who composed this song.

A civil servant nearby said: "It was done by Shen An."

"Shen An!"

Yelu Hongji looked to his left and right, and saw someone whose face was slightly pale, obviously intimidated by the Song Army's momentum.

It’s just a song, is it like this?

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

Shouts continued to be heard, and the morale of the Liao army plummeted.

Yelu Hongji said solemnly: "That Shen An actually reversed the morale of the army with a song, which shows how brilliant he is. This man is worthy of the name Wenzong, but what about the name of a famous general? Let me give it a try."

He pulled out his long sword, pointed it at the city, and shouted: "Attack the city! Attack the city!"

Tens of thousands of Liao troops shouted in unison, "Attack the city! Attack the city!"

The momentum suddenly tightened, and someone shouted: "Trebuchet comes forward..."

To attack Guancheng in such a dangerous terrain, without a trebuchet, you can only take human lives to fill it.

The Liao people had this courage, but the Liao army worked hard to bring up the trebuchet, and they were not just spectators.

"The enemy has a trebuchet!"

Enemy trebuchets were already being assembled at the top of the city. Shen An smiled and said, "We have some too, and there are quite a few of them."

Trebuchets are a good tool for attacking large enemy targets and damaging enemy morale, and there are quite a few of them at Yanmen Pass.

"Get ready!"

Shen An was like a child who got a toy, so excited.

"Use kerosene bombs!"

The trebuchet was equipped with kerosene bombs and ignited...

Bang!

The first kerosene bomb flew out of the city and headed towards the Liao army.

"The Song Army's trebuchet..."

Someone in the Liao army was screaming, and everyone looked up at the small black spot in the sky.

"Is this stone too small?"

Several kerosene bombs are tied together and burning. It doesn't look big, but when the height decreases, the flames become obvious.

"It's the Song people's kerosene bombs!"

A general shouted with a dark face: "Be careful! Let the trebuchet be careful!"

Damn it!

If the trebuchet takes one shot, it will be impossible to watch.

"Get ready to put out the fire!"

The kerosene bombs fell quickly, hit the side of a trebuchet, and burned.

This shot was avoided, but what about the next one?

"Throw stones..."

The military orders were like a mountain. Under the threat of the Song Army's gunfire and oil bombs, the operators of the Liao Army stepped forward one after another. When they were ready, they shouted and projected.

"Notice……"

On the top of the city, Shen An looked at the flying stones, feeling a little ridiculous that he was in the Three Kingdoms period.

Boom!

Two of this batch of stones hit the city wall, and Shen An felt a little shake. At this time, the trebuchet behind him began to fire a salvo.

The burning kerosene bombs rushed out. Shen An raised his telescope and saw that a trebuchet was hit by kerosene bombs and caught fire. The Liao troops nearby rushed to put out the fire...

But the fire is so easy to save, and the main structure of the trebuchet is made of wood, so...

"This is really a raging fire!"

But the Liao army was not afraid of death, and stones continued to fly over.

Bang!

A city head was hit by a stone, and the flying stone debris knocked over more than ten people, and several city bricks were also smashed away.

Those Song troops were screaming, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Shen An ordered: "Change the gunpowder can!"

"Fuck you! Kill them!"

When the gunpowder cans flew over, the Liao troops who were preparing to put out the fire encountered a disaster.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Amidst the dense explosions, the Liao army was blown to pieces. Those who were lucky enough to survive fled in confusion. The scene was chaotic.

Yelu Hongji saw this scene from behind and pointed forward. A group of cavalry rushed over and killed the fleeing Liao troops.

"Is this a gunpowder bomb?"

Yelu Hongji thought of the Song Army in the past, when their biggest reliance was human lives.

Use human lives to fill the defense line. If you break through one place, there will be another place waiting for you until you are exhausted and have no fighting spirit anymore.

But now the Song people are different. They use luxurious crossbow formations composed of Shenwei crossbows for defense, and even use kerosene bombs and gunpowder cans to attack the enemy.

"Your Majesty, this is the gunpowder pot."

The Liao army generals looked solemn, and some were discussing in low voices how to deal with the Song army's sharp weapons, but after thinking about it, they found that they were helpless.

Yelu Hongji said coldly: "The Qingqi will attack one after another, overwhelming the Song Army's trebuchets. The trebuchets will desperately throw stones and smash their gates. Within three days, I will eat in the city."

The Qingqi's sudden advance could attract Song's trebuchet firepower. This was a bold decision.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Groups of light cavalry began to attack. The Song army's crossbows showed their power, and the trebuchets also took the time to throw gunpowder cans to bombard these light cavalry.

The Liao army's trebuchets took the opportunity to throw stone bombs crazily...

"boom!"

A city wall in Guancheng was bombarded many times and a section of it collapsed.

Yelu Hongji shouted: "Kill him!"

"Attack! Attack!"

Countless Liao troops carried ladders and began to attack...
