I am Da Song

Chapter 317 Same World, Different Landscapes

Although Zhao Huan decided to intervene in the battle between Jin and Xia, he did not send troops in rashly.

Leaving aside whether the Great Song Dynasty can benefit, how did the Xixia monarchs and ministers react when they saw a large number of Song soldiers and Chen Bing borders?
You said that you are here to help Xixia defend against powerful enemies.

But everyone in the Xixia court only thinks that the Song army on the border of Chen Bing is the real strong enemy!

After all, the Kingdom of Jin is only likely to cause Xixia to perish.

However, the Song army has successfully defeated Xixia on the verge of destroying the country.If it wasn't for the Xixia King's kneeling fast enough, weeping blood and begging for peace.Coupled with the rise of the Jurchen, there is no such thing as Xixia at this moment.

Therefore, Song Dynasty only notified Xixia of the movement of the Jin army through Honglu Temple.

At the same time, the most elite Shenwu Youjun of Song Dynasty changed defense to Jingzhao Mansion.

Commanding this Shenwu right army is the most outstanding young general of the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei.

That's right, the young general, Yue Fei.

Today's Yue Fei is younger than Zhao Huan, only 27 years old.

For Da Song, there is no such thing as cultivating the next generation of young generals.

The strongest military god in the Song Dynasty is the youngest general in the Song Dynasty.

This general who can be called the champion of the Song Dynasty is the living Huo Qubing, and he is the most vivid military spirit.

As long as this famous general is still there, the imperial martial arts can easily be maintained for another 50 years and remain at its peak.

Therefore, at the same time when the outside world was in turmoil and the clouds of war were shrouded in war, the Song Dynasty held a grand ceremony in May to celebrate Zhao Huan's 30th birthday.

In the feudal dynasty, the emperor's birthday was a national holiday.

Song inherited the Tang system. From Tang Xuanzong, the emperor's birthday had an exclusive name "Tianchang Festival". In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Wuzong changed it to "Shengsheng Festival"; Xizong changed it to "Yingtian Festival".

Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty loved etiquette very much, so he designated the birthday of himself, the "Emperor Hunyuan", as "Zhenyuan Festival".

It was Zhao Huanjun's turn to come to Wanfang, so he couldn't avoid the custom. He changed his birthday from the previously set "Qianlong Festival" to "Tianshou Festival".It means wishing to live the same life as the sky.

The emperor's birthday, as the national day of the whole country, followed the system of birthdays, and the imperial edict allowed the world to have a feast and take a three-day holiday.

As early as a month ago, the Jiaofang Division gathered singers, dancers, court ladies, and female officials to enjoy music and prepare for the Tianshou Festival performance.

On May 23, the Tianshou Festival will be held together with the Huayi Dynasty of all nations.

The national celebration is grand and grand, and the prime minister, the prince, the royal family and all the civil and military officials all enter the Jiying Hall to celebrate the birthday.

The Jiaofang Division built a colorful building more than ten feet high in front of the Jiying Hall, where countless musicians and dancers from the Jiaofang Division performed.

The celebration does not start with a grand ritual and music, but the musicians in the teaching workshop on the color building in front of the Jiying Hall "follow the singing of a hundred birds".

After all the officials thanked the emperor for their seats, they took their seats respectively. The prime minister, Lantai and other banned officials, princes, clans, six ministries, officials above the Xuanfu envoy, as well as principal and deputy envoys from Jin, Goryeo, Xixia, Xiliao and other countries Sitting in the main hall.

Various ministers, bureaus, and prisons, ministers, officials, and envoys from other countries sat on the two corridors.Officials below the military academy sit behind the colored building.

When Zhao Huan got up to worship the first cup of imperial wine, the magnificent ceremony and music finally began to play.

Under the colorful building, there are ten people making decisions in the first row, followed by fifty pipas with the same color and carvings, and then two harps with 25 strings.There are three big drums with golden patterns on the back, and two hundred stick drums facing each other on both sides.

The magnificent band played "Tipping Cup" and "Santai" successively.

Teams of beautiful dancers also began to perform on the stage, with fluttering clothes and elegant dancing postures, as if fairies were dancing in the air.

During the grand national ceremony, Zhao Huan had to toast nine times.

But all the subjects of the Song Dynasty became more enthusiastic and proud each time.

Behind this joyous celebration of Longqing is the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the world.

The entire Great Song Dynasty was full of things and people, prosperous and prosperous, the army was fierce, and the frontiers were peaceful.

The country can afford prosperity and peace, and the military and civilians enjoy the joy of peace!
However, the envoys from various countries sitting in the hall were full of thoughts, with different sorrows and joys.

For example, the Korean envoys are beyond words.The cultures of the two sides are the same, and the suzerains and vassals are stable.The strength of Song Dynasty is the greatest joy for them.

This means that their country can be free from war and have peace and stability.These monarchs, ministers and dignitaries will have a stable position and will be rich for generations.

Relying on the strong shadow of the Song Dynasty, Goryeo can once again enjoy two or three hundred years of ignorance on the Korean peninsula.

If Song Dynasty is the current rice emperor, then Goryeo, who has the same culture and has been a vassal for generations, is definitely worthy of the status of a British dog leg.Following the powerful elder brother, drinking and eating meat, he was naturally smiling and elated.

But the envoys from other countries were not so enthusiastic. On the contrary, many envoys were worried.

The envoys of the Jinxia and Xia countries in the main hall watched the singing and dancing outside, and the magnificent ceremony, almost in ecstasy at the same time.

During the national celebration in the Great Song Dynasty, the armies of the two countries were sharpening their knives, ready to kill a river of blood.

No one knows where the fate of their own country will go, whether next year's self will still be able to sit here and participate in this lively celebration.

And Jin Guo and Xixia still have the strength to decide their own destiny.

Sitting outside, the envoys of the Hei Han Kingdom were bewildered as they watched the dreamlike singing and dancing.

When the Song Dynasty was celebrating the grand ceremony, the Black Han Kingdom didn't even have the right to choose its own destiny.

Their country can only kneel down and submit, the difference is only, or become a vassal of Dashi, or become a vassal of Xiliao, or become a vassal of Song Dynasty.

Last year, the Black Han Kingdom repelled the Khitan's attack with great painstaking efforts, but Yelu Dashi turned around and attacked the Qihe area.

Thirty thousand local "pagan nomadic tribes" who did not believe in Islam joined Yelu Dashi one after another, which directly doubled the strength of Yelu Dashi.

Xiliao not only greatly expanded its army, but also had more than [-] households under its jurisdiction.

A nomadic tribe with [-] households can definitely easily pull out [-] cavalry.

The military strength of this scale was simply impossible for the Black Khan Dynasty to resist.

In particular, Uighur Gaochang still surrendered to Xiliao. If the coalition forces of the two sides attack west again, they will have a crushing advantage in terms of military strength and number of troops.

So since the beginning of the year, the country of black men has been gloomy and gloomy.

From khans to nobles, to officials, to patriarchs, and scholars, the country is discussing whether to submit to Dashi, relying on Dashi's Christian army to resist the harassment of nomadic cavalry from the east.

The invasion of nomadic iron cavalry has become a heavy stone hanging in everyone's mind, and the future of the country's survival is uncertain.The scene of Da Song singing and dancing in front of him seems so far away from the country of Hei Han.
