There was an article in later generations that described Kaifeng, Tokyo:
At night a thousand years ago, cities all over the world were dark, and only the cities of the Song Dynasty were brightly lit.
At night a thousand years ago, cities all over the world were quiet. Only cities in China were crowded with people, singing and laughing.
The reason why Tokyo is as prosperous as Sisi is due to the accessibility of water transportation. The head of the six canals is the Bianhe River, which connects the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. As far as the eye can see, there are wine shops and guesthouses along the south bank of the Bianhe River, and foot merchants and vendors.
The business was placed on the roadside, catching up with the flow of people passing by.
Crowds of people riding cows and horses, and people walking and driving, were densely packed along the river, and above the Bian River, there were even more boats and boats, making it very lively.
The city of Tokyo, which has been transformed according to stereotypes, has made way for the military, so even the official pier must be located in the South Outer City, even if you are walking north. The autumn wind in September is strong, and a few young people who left early have to go there.
Taixue set out, walked all the way out of Zhuque Gate, and headed south along the Bian River. He couldn't help but feel something about it in his heart.
Liang Su, who had been cautious since entering Tokyo, finally couldn't help but sigh, "The prosperity of the capital is so prosperous that we rural people can't even imagine it." This is the truth. He was born in Dingzhou, and he was originally from Dingzhou.
Bordering the Liao Kingdom, it was inappropriate to say that it was a remote and remote area, but it was definitely considered a small local. Later, the whole of Hebei was ruined by the Jin Kingdom, and even the exchanges between towns like when I was a child were no longer available.
The person following him snorted, but remained polite in the end and said: "What is this, Liang... magistrate, my father once served as a scholar in Kaifeng Prefecture for many years, Tokyo at that time...
Although it is Wentian and Wuxi, but in terms of prosperity in all industries, it is definitely much better than it is now."
The one who spoke was naturally Zhao Fen, whose half-face had been swollen.
That's right, he was finally kicked out by his father and took office with these colleagues.
Li Xiuzhi, the living room attendant who came to see him off, frowned and said to himself, you are a brainless person. Of course, what you said is correct and it didn't matter in the past, but you have forgotten that I am still thinking about my past behind closed doors at home. If this word spreads,
, the officials are most disgusted with everything that happened when the Second Saint was in power. Isn't this a point of reference? Isn't this the trick to cheat the father?
However, the two have a good relationship. Li Xiuzhi quickly added: "Actually, Tokyo is still a bit small. I once heard my father-in-law (Lu Benzhong) say how majestic Yanjing is. The reason why Taizu established his capital here was because of Bianjing."
Water runs across China. It first carries the big rivers, diverts the rivers and lakes, and makes use of the South China Sea. Half of the world's wealth, as well as the department stores of the mountains and rivers, all come in this way. The capital of the country is Bianjing, and water transportation can save a lot. But today the world
To unify, it is just right to move the capital, otherwise the capital will be undefendable... It would be too fatal."
Zhao Fen is not a fool. He realized from the beginning that this relative was trying to smooth things over for him (Zhao Fen's sister is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and Li Xiuzhi's fiancée is the daughter of the Lu family). He was about to join in, but heard the last sentence,
Everyone fell silent, because everyone unanimously remembered the battle to defend Tokyo led by Li Gang during the Jingkang period.
It is true that Li Gang did not know how to fight, but even if Li Yanxian (who was wanted for impeaching him for not knowing how to fight) and Yue Fei (who called him a traitor and was expelled from the army) were standing in front of him, they could not say that he was responsible for the failure of the Tokyo Defense War.
Whose responsibility is that? Let’s take a look. In January of the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Ji fled south to Zhenjiang because the Jin army rushed south to pass the throne to the crown prince Zhao Huan. He claimed to be the leader of the Taojun Emperor, and was nicknamed "the Supreme Emperor". People were panicked for a while, but fortunately
After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he promoted Li Gang to Shangshu Youcheng and took up the post of personal expedition envoy, responsible for the defense of Kaifeng. He did make a mistake here, not following the advice of the veteran generals and deploying defenses along the Yellow River in time.
At that time, the Jin army hesitated due to the change of kings in the Song Dynasty, but Guo Yaoshi, the surrendered general of the Song Dynasty, was particularly aware of the fact that the Song Dynasty was weak and concluded that the Song Dynasty was unprepared. He suggested that the Jin army cross the Yellow River with the force of breaking bamboo and break through the Yellow River defenders. So Li Gang heard about it afterwards
Pharmacist Guo was chopped up by Lu Yihao along with his son. He happily drank an extra bottle of wine. For the first time in his life, Li Xiuzhi heard his father say good things about Mr. Lu, as if he called his big rooster "Lu Jinglue"
It's not the same as him.
No matter how knowledgeable Li Gang was about military affairs, he took the lead at this time and led Kaifeng's soldiers and civilians to complete the defense deployment in time. While urging Zhao Huan not to run away, he personally went to the city to supervise the battle and repel the Jin soldiers. Jin Commander Wanyan Zongwang (the second prince) saw that Kaifeng was in trouble
After a strong attack, Zhao Huan was moved to lure him into surrender.
Because his father was incapable of doing anything but knew how to seize power. When he saw that he was safe, he actually issued an order to respond to Huainan. The two Zhejiang armies and other departments sent a report to Beijing to deliver the corner, and ordered them to intercept and not let go, and to wait for command. They also intercepted
The place transports supplies to the capital.
Zhao Huan was almost angered to death by his father, so he wanted to concentrate on fighting with the Supreme Emperor to seize power. The Jin soldiers could not attack for a long time, and they also wanted to withdraw their troops. They were willing to draw a river as a boundary with the Jin State, cede the three towns of Taiyuan, and give three or five more silver.
One million taels.
Li Gang almost died of myocardial infarction due to his anger, but he had no choice but to try every means to delay, and even withheld the edicts from the three towns. Finally, delaying time delayed the arrival of the 200,000 Qinwang troops who had cultivated the Tao of Masters.
It was too naive to think that the situation would be better like this. Why did the emperor think that it was necessary to prevent the soldiers from mutiny, so he urged the soldiers to go to war immediately. He listened to the capitulation faction and dismissed Li Gang, which made him angry to death. In the end, he created Liu Ding Liujia, which was known throughout the city.
, plundering women all over the city, even his own daughters, wives and concubines and giving them to the golden man to pay off his debts...
In short, only you can't think of it. Without the two saints, the father and his son could not have done it. In official words, the Zhao and Song Dynasty did not fall because of the blessings of gods and Buddhas.
Let alone Li Gang, even Pharmacist Li (Li Jing) would not be able to defeat such an emperor!
Fortunately for Fan Chengda and others, Zhao Fen himself was in Tokyo at the time. His father was unwilling to defer to honor Zhang Bangchang as emperor, so he hid in Taixue with his two uncles, and separately inquired about the official status of King Kang (now).
Wherever their home is, their mothers are hiding on the south bank of the Bian River. He was only about seventeen or eighteen years old at the time. He hugged his younger brothers and sisters to prevent them from seeing the bodies outside, and at the same time comforted his horrified mother.
It's only been eleven years, but I'm still here by the gurgling Bianshui River, but I've already changed the world.
Suddenly, Zhao Fen turned around and saluted in the direction of Tokyo Ouchi, then bowed in the direction of southeastern Fujian, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Li." He also thanked the officials. Li Xiuzhi, who was the son of someone else, quickly returned the gift.
I really don’t blame them for being like this. After thousands of years, the Jingkang Disgrace is still a miracle drug for treating hypotension for the Chinese people, not to mention these people are all those who have experienced it. But after saying this, several people miraculously calmed down, because now the Second Saint
They are all in monasteries and Taoist temples, but the people who dominate Tokyo and even the world, and who almost brought the Song Dynasty back from despair, are the officials.
Another gust of autumn wind blew by. Li Xiuzhi saw that there were still many people queuing up on Guandu, so he suggested to sit in a roadside shop for a while. After all, he had to take care of the younger Fan Chengda, but Fan Chengda was very lively. After getting familiar with him,
He asked: "Brothers, why do we, who came first, have to queue behind these people?"
Li Xiuzhi had to explain, "Since it is an officialdom, of course it must be based on rank. Brother Zhao and Brother Liang are both county magistrates, and you are a naval officer recording events. Of course you have to be polite to the magistrate, pass judgment, and even join the army to record events."
"But I see that the people in front of me are also county magistrates. Brother Liang is also the magistrate of Fengtai County, which is affiliated with Yanjing Prefecture!"
The three adults were confused at the moment. Do you want to tell this kid that because a group of old officials in Hedong and Hebei areas were cut down by the King of Han and Qin, and a group of them were dismissed because they were from Jiangnan Gongge and were incompetent in general affairs, they were sent to Lianghe this time.
Most of the officials were transferred from the Guanzhong area of Henan, and of course they are ahead of you in terms of seniority. Speaking of which, they are really a handful who went to Lianghe to serve as magistrates as soon as they were appointed. Most of them, like Li Xiuzhi, studied in the central government or other places.
However, Liang Su was determined to make a good deal for the former Prime Minister, and took the initiative to say: "Brother Fan Xian, we have both been summoned by the officials. The officials once told me that there is no need to keep it secret. What about you, what can you say about the imperial prelude?"
