Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1211: The God of Changbai Mountain is greeted by the old generals
Chapter 1211: The God of Changbai Mountain is greeted by the old generals
Chapter 1211: The sacred land of Changbai Mountain, welcomed by the old general
At the end of August, there is already a hint of chill on Beijing Road! Compared with Jiangnan, which is still as warm as spring, the autumn here is more vivid!
Especially since this northern land is sparsely populated, except for fixed cities, it is basically rare to see villages in the wilderness!
This is not surprising. Although the Kingdom of Jin originated from the black mountains and white waters, the development of the Northland has been extremely slow due to the weather and terrain!
Whether it was the Liao Kingdom or the current Jin Kingdom, after entering the Central Plains, many tribes began to migrate south. Although there were no vast grasslands in the south, the warmth and gentle terrain of the south still had great appeal.
Shen Tang and his party were not in the carriage, but all on horseback! All the way north along the official road, it was wide and empty, and everyone could gallop on the road as they wanted!
In addition to the accompanying Beiwei army, there is also an elite cavalry of more than a thousand people accompanying them! These are the soldiers of Dading Mansion! Shen Tang and his party have just entered Dading Mansion, and the general manager of the military and horse capital of Dading Mansion is Send troops and horses to escort! However, Shen Tang and others did not stop at Dading Prefecture, but passed directly through Dading Prefecture and headed towards Xianping Prefecture.
"Husband, after we arrive at Xianping Mansion, how about we go to Changbai Mountain Tianchi to worship!"
At this moment, Wanyan Yue was riding a maroon military horse, wearing a white cloak. She had just been galloping with Zhao Ling for a while, and her cheeks were a little red!
"good!"
Shen Tang nodded. There was no purpose for this trip in the first place. It would be interesting to go to Changbai Mountain to have a look.
Changbai Mountain is not only famous in later generations. In fact, there are records of Changbai Mountain in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties very long ago!
It is recorded in the "Great Wilderness Bei Jing" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that in the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named Buxian! Among them, Buxian Mountain is the Changbai Mountain in the ancient wilderness period. Buxian is the Mongolian word "Bulgan", which means magic witch. It is said that in ancient times it was believed that there was a god in this mountain.
In the Han Dynasty, Buxian Mountain was renamed Dandaling Mountain. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called Gaima Mountain, Tutai Mountain, and Taishan Mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Taibai Mountain. After arriving in the Jin Kingdom, it was called Changbai Mountain!
The name of Changbai Mountain is translated from Jurchen language, and it is recorded in the Jin Dynasty that "the place where a girl is born is really Hun Tongjiang, Changbai Mountain, Hun Tongjiang is also called Heilongjiang, the so-called White Mountain, Black Water is also!"
This is why the Jin people are said to come from the White Mountain and the Black Water, where the White Mountain refers to the Changbai Mountain.
Moreover, the Jin people believed that Changbai Mountain was the place where kings were promoted, so not only were special troops stationed in Changbai Mountain, but they also built temples to hold priests.
Even a few years later, Wanyan Yong personally conferred the title of "King Xingguo Lingying" on Changbai Mountain, and sealed the ceremonial objects. Every spring and autumn, the emperor or prince would come to pay homage in person.
Later in the Qing Dynasty, Changbai Mountain was also regarded as the birthplace, and the mountain gods of Changbai Mountain were canonized. They also sent envoys to worship in person every year. Throughout the hundreds of years of the Qing Dynasty, Changbai Mountain was listed as a forbidden place, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. in!
It can be seen that Changbai Mountain has an extremely important influence on the Jin people!
Although the Changbai Mountain is in the land of the Northern Yi, it has had many connections with the Central Plains since ancient times! Dayu settled the nine states and ordered all the barbarians from all over the world to come and pay tribute. Among them, the Northeastern Yi had a country named Sushen State, and they presented stone tablets to show their respect for the Central Plains. The surrender of the Yu Dynasty! This so-called Zhu Ya Shi Ni is said to be an arrowhead made of arrows ground from the wood of Changbai Mountain and the hard bluestone from the Songhua River!
And this so-called Sushen Kingdom is rumored to be the ancestor of the Jin people and other tribes in the North!
"Sir, the front is the boundary of Yimin (Xianpyeong Prefecture), please take care of yourself along the way!"
Moving forward, we entered Xianping Mansion, and soldiers and horses escorted by Beijing Road came to bid farewell to Shen Tang and others.
"Thank you General!"
Shen Tang returned the salute, and the general did not stop and returned directly with his troops.
When Shen Tang and his party entered the Yimin area, they saw a familiar figure leading a group of soldiers and horses towards them!
"General Heshi Liezhining?"
Shen Tang was a little surprised. Heshi Liezhining was guarding the Northeast Road of Linhuang Mansion to recruit the Division, but the road to Xianping Mansion was not close.
"Hahaha!"
Heshi Liezhining laughed and came up to him, "Why, are you surprised to see me here?"
Shen Tang hurriedly brought the Xiangling girls to pay their respects. Speaking of which, Shen Tang had dated Heshi Liezhining several times, and was considered a matchmaker for him and Wanyan Yue. Therefore, Shen Tang was indeed very kind to him. .
After meeting each other, Heshi Liezhining explained, "Recently, Liaodong has been unstable, and it is said that soldiers and horses from the Koryo Kingdom have invaded the territory. After getting your Majesty's order, I originally planned to send a group of soldiers and horses, but later I also heard that you are all heading north from China, so I can’t wait to come in person!”
"Goryeo violated territory?"
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows. This country is really weird. Before, the Jin Kingdom had no time to take care of it, so they caused some small troubles in the Liaodong area. In the end, they were slapped back. Unexpectedly, they came back again. .
However, this is not surprising. This country has been arrogant since ancient times and has never truly recognized its own strength and ability. Anyway, even if it fails, the worst thing is to apologize and go back. As for whether it is embarrassing or not, it has never been considered.
Moreover, Goryeo's coveting of the land in Liaodong has not been a day or two. It would be strange if it really stopped one day.
"It's just a small group of Korean soldiers and horses crossing the border. They are not strong, but they are very annoying! This time, I have brought five thousand elite cavalry, and I must give them a severe lesson!"
Heshi Liezhining obviously did not take Goryeo seriously, and he did have such confidence. As the top commander of the Jin Kingdom, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, even if he went to defeat Goryeo, it would be no problem. It was just a small country. , how could it possibly catch his eye.
"How about it, are you interested? If you have any ideas, how about I leave this battle to you?"
Heshi Liezhining said to Shen Tang with a smile.
If it were anyone else, he would naturally not say this, but Shen Tang is different. Not only does Shen Tang have the ability to win, but the most important thing is that even if it spreads to the court, the emperor will not do it because of this. You might blame him for the incident, and maybe even give him a reward.
Before Shen Tang could answer, Wanyan Yue on the side said, "Uncle, my husband is here to relax with us sisters, so he won't help you fight! After that, we have to go to Changbai Mountain. The matter of Goryeo is up to uncle himself. Go!"
Heshi Liezhining chuckled, "Then I will escort you to Changbai Mountain first. After I finish teaching Gao Li, I will accompany you to Beijing!"
