Eagle Byzantium

"Di Tang..." Gawain was very surprised when he heard this name. According to his common sense, there should be no regime with this name in the world.

But Zhao Zhao answered truthfully, and with a bit of embarrassment, "Di Tang was not the original name. Its real name was Tang, or Gaotang or Beihai Tang. Yes, its rulers have been for generations. The surname Gao..."

"Gao's surname?" Gao Wen's eyes widened again. So according to the meaning of Chinese, he and Emperor Di Tang are still related?

No wonder Wang Xianzong, the general judge of Balakot City, cursed that the "Gao" family were all bastards.

It turns out that Di Tang was the disparaging name given to it by Silla official historical materials when the Gaotang regime had just emerged in Bohai, Heishui, and Liuying.

But now Silla has long been destroyed by Gaotang...

Fusang was also destroyed because Gaotang sent envoys across the sea to make peace with Fusang many years ago. The emperor of Fusang was arrogant and rude. He was received by the Kaga Station in Kaga Harbor and had his warriors perform riding and shooting "ryudysprosium" in front of the Gaotang envoys to show off Fuso's military power.

The envoy from Gaotang laughed at him and called the Dysprosium horse a "pony short shot". The Fusang Kingdom became furious and detained the envoy without telling him. They also called Gaotang a "sword bandit" and strictly prohibited him from logging and repairing on the seashore. The ship returns home.

Three years after the diplomatic turmoil ended, Gaotang organized a huge fleet to invade Fuso. Fuso was defeated on land and sea, the army was wiped out, the emperor suffered from civil strife and his family was wiped out. After that, Fuso became a vassal state of Gaotang, and later became a vassal state of Gaotang. Directly put it under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province and changed Ping'an Jing's name to "Tokyo Prefecture".

"What about the Khitan?" Gao Wen was even more curious. He didn't believe that the Khitan would let the Gaotang regime, which was rapidly becoming stronger, let it go.

So Zhao Zhao discussed the origin of Gaotang.

It turns out that the Emperor Gaotang claimed to be a descendant of Bohai Gao of the Han Dynasty, which can be directly traced back to Gao Hong, the Bohai prefect of the Later Han Dynasty, and then Gao Huan, the Shenwu Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Jiong, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, and Gao Shilian, Gao Kan, etc. of the Tang generation. Gao Shi, Gao Gu, Gao Chongwen, Gao Pian and other outstanding figures, and the Emperor Gaotang said that he was directly from From the house of Gao Shi, Gao Yue was Gao Shi's nephew. Gao Yue once served in the Tang Dynasty as a Chaosan official to test the history of Puzhou governor. Later, Gao Yue's descendants moved back to the Bohai Sea to avoid the chaos in the Central Plains in the late Tang Dynasty. He worked hard to develop friendly relations between Bohai and Tang Dynasty, and was given a national surname by Li Tang. During the Tang Dynasty, Gao Wenhuan, the fifth generation of Gao Yue, was the powerful official of the Bohai Kingdom, and he was the sole leader of the country. Later, he killed the country's leader "Dashi" and replaced him. He changed his name to "Li Xu" and the military flag was "Chiyou Banner", which combined with Liaodong, Bohai and Heishui. The Han people and other tribes stood on their own and revived the Tang Dynasty, but they were scornfully called "Di Tang" by Silla.

Afterwards, Gaotang quickly became stronger under Li Xu's governance, and the Khitan attempted to annex it, but Gaotang was able to resist the Khitan's eastward invasion. From then on, the Khitan could only recognize the existence of Gaotang.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, Gaotang had friendly relations with the Song Dynasty and established an alliance at sea to jointly fight against the Khitan in the north.

But in the later period of Song Zhezong's reign, Li Hui, the ninth lord of the Gaotang Kingdom, led his country to suddenly become more prosperous. Li Hui built large ships, firearms, vehicles, and fine armor, and recruited all the brave people from the north to train as cavalry. Including Goryeo, Nüzhi and other tribesmen were trained as shooters and sailors to dominate the North Sea and destroy other political powers in the North. At that time, the ministers of the Song Dynasty thought that the Gaotang Dynasty was still useful, so they asked Emperor Zhezong to personally hand-write a plaque and present it to Li Hui, praising him as "the mainstay of Haibei, the solitary hero of the Han and Tang Dynasties", and contacted him to attack Liao and Xixia.

Unexpectedly, Li Hui returned Zhezong's handwriting, saying, "I am the only one responsible for razing all the barbarians." After that, Gaotang first went east to destroy Silla and Fusang, and then went west to attack Khitan. The Liao army was defeated, and Yelv Dashi fled. Emperor Tianzuo disappeared.

Zhao Zhao was not very clear about the subsequent situation. In fact, he didn't even understand Li Hui's military technology. All the details were what he heard from business friends who came there when he was on a mission to Aksum. , but at that time Song Dynasty had been destroyed by Gaotang...

Of course, Yaoshi Guo also knew about the existence of Gaotang, but this man as pure as glass knew that Chang Shengjun’s worth was actually attached to Huang Song’s worth. If Gao Wen knew that King Ping Ping of Huang Song himself was on the verge of death and was being chased thousands of miles away, Dude, will he still be favored to attack the Song Dynasty? Therefore, Pharmacist Guo never mentions it, but the sun and the moon can learn from it.

But it doesn't matter, Gao Wen has already connected the chain: after Song Huizong came to the throne, he saw that Gaotang's expansion had become an irreversible trend, so he urgently ordered Tong Guan, who expanded the border to Xixia, to imitate Gaotang's military system in the west. , to build a usable new army, Tong Guan then trained carefully The "Sixth Army of the New Law" sent out 20,000 to 30,000 troops, but then Gaotang's hundreds of thousands of troops quickly moved southward, overwhelming the Song army. Seeing that the situation was overwhelming, Tong Guan hurriedly found a so-called "King of Fairness" as his banner, and was in a hurry The land is long (tao) and levied (pao) to the west.

But there are still two big mysteries. One is who is the Fair King, or does he really exist?

The second one is why Xixia released the passage. In addition, there were Guo Yaoshi, Yelu Dashi and others in Tong Guan's team. It can be seen that they were all losers in front of Li Hui in the Gaotang Dynasty. They felt sorry for each other before they returned to King Ping Ping's camp, and more or less Perhaps they were all deceived by Tong Guan - in addition, could it be said that Li Hui... is also a spokesman for the devil's power?

"Hahaha!" After thinking about it, Gawain laughed and said it was interesting.

Only in this way can the world be interesting.

"Let Tong Guan solve these two puzzles immediately." Gawain has received the news that Tong Guan ran outside Balakot City and was captured.

At this time, the Gaotang cavalry team that came over the mountain swept away the remnants of Lu Yihao's army like a whirlwind. Lu Yihao, Ye Dechen and others were all captured in less than half an hour.

This Song Dynasty finally perished.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

Then the Gaotang cavalry shook the lock and armor pieces, covering the entire field, and approached the Roman and Seljuk coalition cavalry who had changed to a spectator role in the sound of continuous horns.

Melo hurriedly ordered Diogenes to deploy on the left wing to fill the vacant position after Guo Yaoshi ran away, and ordered the entire army to prepare for the battle, and arranged the stirrup cannons and shrimp whisker cannons in front of them.

The Gaotang side also let the cavalry holding nine-hole rapid-fire mace guns line up in a huge arc forward. Soon, several cavalrymen on the opposite side came out and asked for an interpreter to communicate.

Finally, Melo learned that the Gaotang general who led the army was Li Yuanxun, the acting Shangshu Zuo Pushe, the ambassador of the four Anxi towns, the Grand Protector of Anxi Persia, the Duke of Zanhuang, and the pillar of the country. Li Yuanxun said, "The rebellious Song Dynasty has been destroyed, but we want to ask for Tong Guan to return to the country and offer him. If the Emperor of Fulin agrees, the two countries are willing to erect a monument with the Yaosha River as the boundary and become peaceful allies forever!"
