Chapter 1808: If Yan Yun does not return, he would rather die than return
"Sad and lonely, I ask myself, who is in charge of the ups and downs of the vast earth?"
Zhao Kai recited it several times in a low voice, and joy gradually took over this handsome face. He suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Okay, let's ask the vast earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs?"
Zongze also shook his head in amazement, and couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "Privy Councilor Gao Cai, Zong has learned a lesson.◎"
At the same time, he felt very ashamed in his heart. He thought that his knowledge was not inferior to others, but he had worked so hard to write this letter of challenge, but it was not as good as Li Qi's few figures.
What else can I say, except that Li Qi is a genius.
Li Qi said modestly: "No, no, no, I just thought of it for the emperor. It was the emperor's mighty and domineering attitude that inspired me."
Zhao Kai was stunned when he heard this, and laughed and scolded: "You are really too cautious, am I that kind of person?"
Zongze was also stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this sentence was too domineering. In the world, only the emperor can say this. If you, a minister, have something to do and are worried, you have to ask the earth who is your master.
Then the emperor must ask you, what do you want to do? I rule this land, why are you worried? But he didn't think of this just now, and now he wakes up from a dream, and he admires Li Qi's political attitude.
, Li Qi’s success today is definitely not due to luck, but more to his carefulness, which made him laugh.
Zhao Kai also laughed, his hands were a little itchy, and he quickly asked the pen and ink to serve him. He swung the ink and wrote this sentence. Looking left and right, he felt proud in his heart, "If this battle can be won, this battle will be won."
The seal of war will surely be famous throughout the ages."
Not to mention Zhao Kai, even Zong Ze loved it very much. The writing is really good.
In fact, at first glance, this sentence seems quite restrained. Thousands of worries come to mind. Ask the earth, who is your master? It is in the form of a question, not saying that I am the master. That would be too explosive.
Being rich is not in line with the culture of the Song Dynasty, a country of gentlemen.
But if you take a closer look, this sentence can be said to be domineering, especially when written by Zhao Kai, it is even more incredible. This sentence can be said to be very direct. In other words, I saw this vast land
The boundless land brings melancholy to my heart. I want to ask you, Wanyan Sheng, who is the master of this land? The implication is that I want to be the master of this land.
The meaning of the gauntlet is nothing more than that!
Simple and clear, yet domineering.
Wanyan Sheng came out of the ravine again and saw this sentence. He knew in his heart that the Great Song Dynasty was going to compete with me, the Great Jin Dynasty, for the supremacy.
How to fight? Of course we send troops to fight, but how can we still spit on it?
Of course, Li Qi does not have this kind of literary talent. If he can write such awesome words, there is no doubt that he must have plagiarized them. In fact, this sentence comes from Mao Zedong's "Qinyuanchun. Changsha", which is only
Grandpa Mao was able to write such awesome verses.
Although this poem comes from hundreds of years later, it is very relevant to the current world trend. Because the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty are two military powers that exist at the same time, and what is more terrible is that the two countries are right next to each other. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain.
How could there be two masters of the land? Zhao Kai's intention of sending troops this time was very obvious, which was to seize the first place in the world and unify the north and the south. There can only be one superpower in this world, and it can only be our Song Dynasty.
.......
.......
The war has been written, so the next step is to tear down the Yunsang Alliance's sacrificial flag and declare war on Jin.
In a school field in Yanshan Prefecture, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped the field.
Suddenly, a dragon flag was raised high and fluttering in the wind.
When the dragon flag is raised, it heralds the emperor's arrival.
Because Zhao Kai's visit was highly confidential, no one except a few central ministers knew about it, and everyone foolishly thought that Zhao Kai went to Luoyang to worship his ancestors.
But today, Zhao Kai can finally show up.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Accompanied by a roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami, Zhao Kai, dressed in a dragon robe and with a sword on his waist, walked up the high steps to the altar. When this army set out for an expedition, they first had to worship heaven and earth. Behind him were Li Qi and Zong Ze.
After waiting for a few ministers, the rest of the generals are ready.
Zhao Kai climbed up the steps. He was really in his prime and high-spirited. Facing thousands of soldiers, he said loudly: "This is not the first time I have come here. I remember that when I came to Yanshan Mansion, I was just an unknown person."
Prince, the Yanshan Mansion at that time had just been captured by the Jin people. I came here together with the current Privy Council, just to ask for Yanshan Mansion back. Yes, to ask for it back, that is, to reach out to the Jin people like a beggar, begging them to return Yanshan Mansion.
Before this, we had sent troops to fight for it, but we were completely wiped out by the remaining troops of the Liao army."
This first sentence made the soldiers of the Song Dynasty ashamed, but because of this, they were even more eager to prove themselves.
After saying that, Zhao Kai sighed and said: "This skill is inferior to others. I can't blame others. I can only blame myself. I remember that at that time, I suffered all the humiliation here. I still remember those eyes full of contempt."
, I can’t forget, and, right here, in this school ground, I had a horse-riding and archery competition with Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, and I lost, and I came back with a great defeat. I was shot by Wanyan Zongwang.
Shot through the bun. If it weren't for the competition, I probably wouldn't be able to stand here now, but I don't even have the confidence to get angry, because the opponent is really too powerful.
I was thinking at that time, are we Han people inherently inferior to Jurchens or Khitan people? Because since I was born, I have heard either annual tributes or requests for peace. Every year, the big northern countries come to me, the Song Dynasty, to ask for money and materials, and make demands.
Regardless of whether they are Khitans or Jurchens, we Han people are still inferior and must give them millions of dollars in property every year. But this money is hard earned by us people, why should we give it to them?
I don’t believe that our people of the Song Dynasty are really inferior to the Khitans or Jurchens, and I don’t want to live in humiliation every day. I don’t even want to see our people of the Song Dynasty grovel in the face of the Jurchens.
Nailed on that pillar of shame, I was scolded by future generations. When I was alive, I and my people were humiliated, and when we died, we were scolded on our spines by future generations.
Every time I think about this, I can't sleep, and even live a life worse than death. No one wants to be discriminated against or insulted by others, but this cannot be blamed on the enemy being too powerful. The Jurchens were also bullied by the Khitans at the beginning, and their lives were worse than
We, I think the Jurchens must have also been thinking at that time, are they Jurchens inherently inferior to the Khitans? Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu gave them the answer, but at the same time he also told us that respect and dignity do not come from charity.
Or begging, but fighting for it on your own.”
The venue was very quiet, and only Zhao Kai's voice could be heard. Zhao Kai's voice was not loud, but every word and sentence struck the hearts of everyone present.
Maybe "humiliation", "bullying", "paying tribute" and "peace negotiation" are too harsh for them, but this is also a fact and no one can erase it because it has become history.
However, history cannot be changed, but the future can.
Since Emperor Taizong's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Gaolianghe, the Song Dynasty has never turned around again. Even in the Yanyun War, it was only a passive counterattack. After the victory, peace was still the most important thing. The only Northern Expedition was by Song Huizong
What's even more tragic is that even if you try to fish in troubled waters, your entire army will be defeated and you will suffer heavy losses.
In short, the people of the Song Dynasty had lost confidence in the Northern Expedition.
This also directly led to the fact that the people of the Song Dynasty were always afraid of the Jurchens and Khitan people. They had to take a detour when they encountered them. They did not dare to offend them. If they suffered a little loss, they would hide under the quilt and cry. But can you blame them for being weak and incompetent?
Of course not. If the country is not strong, how can the people dare to speak? This is not an insult to the people, but an insult to the rulers and the army. If you can't even guarantee the most basic dignity of your own people, then you still have to do this!
Li Qi and Zongze also looked sad. One hundred years of humiliation is such a heavy burden.
Zhao Kai suddenly said sonorously and forcefully: "For this reason, I will not hesitate to fight."
As he spoke, he continued: "Since ancient times, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been where we Han people have lived. More than two hundred years ago, Emperor Shi Jingtang gave the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan people. Since then,
We Han people are like missing a piece of backbone and are always bent. What Shi Jingtang gave to the Khitans was not only the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, but also the dignity of our Chinese nation. If we want to stand up, we must first take back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
Six states, take back our dignity.
I don’t want to advertise myself as a righteous army, because I want a strong army. This is not a war to regain my homeland, but a battle of dignity. I have only one purpose here, and that is
Take back the dignity that originally belonged to us Han people. How can you expect an emperor without dignity to be able to govern the country well?"
This sentence is inspired by Li Qi's letter of challenge. Be more straightforward and domineering. Don't deal with those docile things. I just want to beat you. It's as simple as that.
At this time, an attendant beside him came over carrying a tray with a document on it. Zhao Kai picked up the document and said: "This is the Yunsang Alliance that we signed with the Jin Kingdom at the Sanggan River.
, Today, I want to burn it personally and declare war on the Kingdom of Jin. As for the reasons for burning it, there are so many reasons that I am too lazy to talk about it. I just want to send troops to compete with the Kingdom of Jin and use my own strength to get it.
We should give back everything that originally belonged to us, instead of begging or exchanging gold and silver, and let them understand who is the master of the Central Plains."
After saying that, he burned down this priceless covenant with a fire, and when the last residue was floating in the air with a spark of fire, Zhao Kai said loudly again: "The covenant has been burned, we have no way back,
I don’t intend to look back, if Yan Yun doesn’t return, I would rather die than return, I will be with Yan Yun.”
"If Yan Yun doesn't return, he would rather die than return."
These eight words immediately resounded over Yanshan Mansion. It can be said that these eight simple words carried the dream of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years.
