So what! As November enters the first year of Maode's reign in the Song Dynasty, what topic is the most popular in Song Dynasty?
There is no doubt that at the beginning of next year, under the leadership of Xianggong Hu, the imperial army will make a northern expedition to the Kingdom of Jin and directly attack Huanglong.
Even though it is now late autumn, the weather is getting colder day by day.
But whether it is in the Xiangzhou area in the north of the Song Dynasty or in the Lingnan area in the south, such a topic is still extremely hot.
And it also allowed one after another Song people to make decisions that changed their personal destiny under the current turbulent world trend...
Jiangnan, Lin'an City, beside the West Lake.
In a teahouse that seems to be everywhere in Lin'an City, it is full of people at this early morning.
There were even many people who had no seats and just stood in it.
The reason is very simple, because it is said that the teahouse owner spent a lot of money to invite a storyteller from Kaifeng City, who now tells the story of the battle in Zhuxian Town every day.
Good guy! This is a legendary battle that almost affects the ownership of the world and makes the Song Dynasty rise like a corpse.
For the people of Lin'an, it was full of huge temptation.
So even in the early morning, many wealthy officials and even common people would order a cup of tea and some snacks at the teahouse.
So despite looking at the huge teahouse, it was already packed with people.
But there was still only the storyteller who was said to be from Kaifeng City, and his mandarin with a clear Tokyo accent resounded through it:
"As mentioned last time, when Wanyan Zonghan was in Xiaoshangqiao, he saw his husband and General Yang Zaixing coming to kill him with three hundred Wei army soldiers on their backs.
Among them, the Xianggong is nine feet tall and holds a 72-pound Fangtian painted halberd in his hand.
General Yang Zaixing was also eight feet nine inches tall, and the white tiger gun in his hand weighed sixty-nine pounds.
Wanyan Zonghan, a Jurchen barbarian, immediately knew that no one under his command could defeat him, so he asked Wanyan Pucha, a golden general, to lead his men to set up the "Five Square Formation".
This 'Five Square Formation' is really powerful. It is composed of five groups of people and horses arranged according to the five elements of water, fire, earth, wood, and metal...
In the end, after the Xianggong and General Yang Zaixing beheaded Wanyan Zonghan in formation, they were killed by a volley of thousands of arrows from the Jin people. Afterwards, when the new army gathered the bodies of the two men, the number of arrows taken from them was
It means having more than enough for two buckets.
Such a bloody battle really made the sun and moon dim, and it was extremely miserable.
I have a poem here to prove it:
A celestial drum sounds in the southeast, and general stars fall from the northwest. Before I have enjoyed your kindness, I first cry to the fountain at night as fireflies~
If you ask about the funeral, please listen to the explanation next time."
The storyteller, with his tongue blooming like a lotus flower, finally finished telling the story of Xiaoshangqiao, a small battlefield, and loud cheers rang out in the teahouse.
Wait until the storyteller starts walking in the teahouse with a small dustpan.
Immediately, all kinds of copper coins, and even scattered silver, were thrown into the dustpan like raindrops, and soon there were quite a few.
Let this person actually come from Anyang, which is still two hundred miles away from Kaifeng.
The storyteller usually relies on hearsay and made-up stories for what he usually talks about, and he almost bursts into laughter.
I couldn't help but keep muttering in my heart:
"Thank you Xianggong Hu, Xianggong and other Xianggong, and of course General Yang Zaixing. I wish you a long life, and let me make more money in a day now than in January in previous years."
Finally, when an ingot weighing at least five taels of silver was thrown into the dustpan.
This storyteller almost cried out with joy.
But when he was about to express his gratitude to the wealthy businessman for such a generous reward, he only saw two tall figures, who had already dropped the money and walked away without looking back.
This storyteller has many years of experience in the world.
Even though I only saw the backs of the two of them, I realized something in my heart:
God! These two men are both fighting men in the army. They have seen blood, and they have at least ten lives in their hands...
It can only be said that this storyteller has a really good vision, because these two people are Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong who were originally among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.
If Hu Biao and the others had not appeared, the two of them would have first protected Zhao Laojiu to Shandong when the Jingkang Disgrace occurred.
Then he moved from Shandong to Jiangnan. Finally, when Zhao Laojiu ascended the throne, relying on such a great achievement as "Cong Longzhichen", the two of them gradually became prosperous.
In the end, they became two figures that cannot be avoided whenever talking about the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The question is, didn’t Hu Biao come to this world with a lot of netizens? So the subsequent development of the historical line immediately seemed to have come to a hairpin turn, and it became unrecognizable.
Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong escorted Zhao Laojiu to Jiangnan at the beginning of the year.
The key is that after Empress Maode was pushed to the throne and Hu Biao and the others came up with a series of tricks, Zhao Laojiu became an idle prince who was almost ignored by anyone in Lin'an City.
As a result, the two of them naturally had no chance to get ahead.
Now the identities of the two of them are just the heads of the few palace guards in Zhao Laojiu's palace.
As for the people who have left such a great reputation in history, except for a few who were passively pushed to the top due to the turbulent events.
Most of the others, which one was not an outstanding person at that time?
Therefore, when the appeal fell into the ears of the two of them, they immediately had some thoughts in their minds.
However, due to some concerns, such as whether they were Zhao Laojiu's people and whether they would be suppressed if they joined the New Army, they had not yet made up their minds.
But today, after listening to the story told by someone like this: "After being beaten by Xianggong and Yang Zaixing, the Xiaoshangqiao Formation killed Yan Zonghan", the two of them made up their minds:
If a husband does not have five pots of food to eat when he is alive, he will have five pots of food to cook his ears when he dies.
Relying on their martial arts skills and long experience in battle, even if they join the army as a soldier, they still have to blend into the new army.
After returning, the two of them went directly to Zhao Laojiu to resign.
After hearing this, Zhao Laojiu pondered for a long time before agreeing with a wry smile.
If we say which Song people were most disappointed after the Song army's victory in the Battle of Zhuxian Town, it was not even the traitor Geng Nanzhong, but the Ninth Prince.
The reason was simple. He knew that his last hope of ascending to the throne was completely ruined.
It was night! Zhao Laojiu was very drunk. What was strange was that he also had a sweet dream while drunk.
In the dream, he finally ascended the throne and became the Emperor of the Song Dynasty; even though such a Song Dynasty only had a corner of Jiangnan, he was still an Emperor.
Under the control of the imperial power, he can kill decisively.
Anyone who wanted to welcome back the immortal Huizong and the good-for-nothing Qinzong were all killed by his lackeys on the basis of a "groundless" crime.
But after he woke up the next day, except for the headache he still had after a hangover, everything else in his dream had become phantoms...
****
In fact, it was similar to the situation where Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong began to bring their usual weapons and armor and began to march towards Kaifeng City.
This is just an extremely common example in the current environment.
Just as Hu Biao once boasted to other netizens during the meeting, with a big victory over the Jin Dynasty, everything was different.
Learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family has been a tradition for thousands of years.
I don't know how many people like Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, alone, in groups, or even with soldiers and horses, are rushing towards Kaifeng City with hope.
For example, among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, besides Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi was about to go on an expedition with two thousand elite troops.
So soon, these so-called four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty ZTE will gather under Hu Biao's command.
Also, at the recruitment office of the Volunteer Army in Kaifeng City, a young general riding a green-maned horse and holding a gold-chiselled tiger head gun suddenly arrived.
Seeing the extraordinary momentum of this young general, although he only has one arm, he is now the leader of the First Volunteer Division, Hou San.
He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother, what's your name, where are you from, what's the business of coming here?"
After hearing this, the young general cupped his hands and said loudly: "General, my name is Gao Chong, I am the Queen of Kaiping, and I have come here today to seek refuge with Xianggong Hu~"
In this way, Gao Chong, who was called the most powerful general in the Southern Song Dynasty in folklore, appeared in such a way.
It’s just that Gao Chong, at least so far, has not even been able to meet Hu Biao and many netizens.
Because now each of them is caught up in a huge amount of work, and they have to trot even to go to the toilet...
