I am Da Song

Chapter 333 Le Shi Beihai, Looking at the Frozen Ocean

After the Song army broke through the Shangning Mansion, they took a short break and continued to march along the Hutong Jiangbei.

Although the emperor, concubines, and a large number of civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom were successfully captured in Shangjing, a large number of Jurchen nobles fled north before the siege.

This includes the princes of the Kingdom of Jin.

There are too many princes in the Kingdom of Jin. The son of Wanyan Aguda can be called the prince, the grandson of Wanyan Aguda can even be called the crown prince, and the sons of the current emperor Wanyan Wu begging can also be called the prince.

All the descendants of the royal family have the right to inherit the throne at the moment.

In particular, Wanyan Wu's eldest son, Wanyan Zongpan, also fled to the north before the war started, intending to send troops south to rescue Shangjing.

He also understands that if there are no soldiers to save outside, there is no city to defend inside.

It's just that the Song army captured Shangjing too fast, and before he had time to organize an army to rescue, the Dajin Kingdom was destroyed.So he became the No. [-] pick for Daikin Power to succeed.

But in this kind of situation, no crown prince of the Jin Kingdom would jump out insanely and announce his succession.That would only make him an immediate target of the Song army.

A nation, if all think so.Without heroes coming out to take on heavy responsibilities, it would be impossible to turn the tide.

These princes all hope to develop steadily, but they are all ambitious, which makes it impossible for all the Jurchens to unite, and the situation becomes a mess.

In the face of the great enemy, these people are still fighting among themselves, pulling each other and fighting for strength.

Therefore, the Song army was invincible all the way, and the three 10,000+ Song army soldiers were divided into three groups to attack the city and conquer the land, and brought the weak cities everywhere under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

On the other hand, Zhao Huan took one hundred thousand elite all the way to the north, and fought all the way along the Huntong River to Beihai.

Although the Huntong River is a river that runs from south to north, it turns sharply at the last mouth of the sea, and in the last hundred miles it becomes from west to east.

The mouth of the sea is called Temple Street by the Kingdom of Jin, and tens of miles across the sea is the famous Sakhalin Island.

To be reasonable, the army has no economic or military value when it comes here. Even in the most prosperous Temple Street area, the population is only a few hundred households.

The Kingdom of Jin just sent an official to collect taxes from the tribes here. For the [-] troops in the Central Plains, its economic value was completely worthless.

But Zhao Huan still resolutely brought an army of [-] to come over.

Tens of thousands of troops lined up on the coast of the North Sea. The officials were busy setting up stones to record meritorious service. Zhao Huan stood on the coast with his most trusted Yu Yunwen, looking at the blue sea and seagulls flying by the shore.

Yu Yunwen praised: "Officials' literary and martial arts have been handed down for three generations, and they have never existed in modern times. When they raised troops to Beihai, except for Su Wu, the official family was actually No. 1 in the Central Plains. Today, the merits of the stone are recorded and handed down to all generations, even after all generations. The emperor is the king of Yao and Shun."

"Let the stone remember the merits." Zhao Huan sighed with emotion: "The reason why I took so much trouble is to bring the army here. It is to let future generations remember that the emperor is rich in the world! No matter the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, or North Sea, they are not in the myths and classics. The distance. It is the frontier that my Central Plains dynasty must consolidate!"

"If the North Sea is not within the border, and the West Sea and Kunlun are full of dust, how can we have the face to pray to the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty. How dare the emperor call himself an official?"

"The three emperors rule the world, and the five emperors live in the world. At the time of the prehistoric times, the places where Fuxi, Nuwa, Yandi, Huangdi, Zhuanxu, and Diku once remained, as the official family of the Song Dynasty, I vow to take them all back!"

"I want to take the achievements of Song Yuanmai's ancestors and create a broader empire on which the sun never sets."

Yu Yunwen was greatly shocked. It turned out that the highest goal conceived by Confucianism, to the king, Yao and Shun, was just an achievement that must be surpassed by the officials.The empire also has a grand blueprint and grand glory that no one has imagined before.

At this moment, he felt so deeply that the Confucian philosophy had fallen behind the times.Facing such an unprecedented blueprint for prosperity like a dynasty, Confucianism doesn't even have theoretical guidance on how to govern this vast empire if its achievements surpass those of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Yu Yunwen murmured: "The country where the sun never sets, what kind of grand scene should it be?"

Looking at Yu Yunwen, it seemed that it was difficult to imagine the grand scene when the sun never sets, Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Actually, it's not far away from our court. Do you know what is in the north of the North Sea?"

Yu Yunwen was very knowledgeable, and replied easily: "The record in "Tang Huidian" is Bingyang."

"That's right, it's Bingyang." Zhao Huan sighed with emotion.

Today's Song Dynasty has just destroyed the Kingdom of Jin, and its troops have reached the North Sea. It can be described as a prosperous and glorious age.

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are qualified to say that they ruled the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It is precisely because it is close to the level of the Han and Tang Dynasties that it is possible to better understand the so-called prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the Central Plains has always known the Arctic Ocean, because it used to be the territory of the Central Plains!

That's right, it belongs to the territory of Datang.

The local tribal leader was attached in the first month of the 21st year of Zhenguan.

Enclosing is completely different from restraining.

Internal attachment means that the tribe dedicates all its land, population, and subjects to Datang and becomes a part of Datang.

This kind of thing, if you don't read the classics, just rely on imagination, it's hard to understand.

If the Song Dynasty hadn't approached the peak demeanor of the Tang Dynasty and had the mentality of looking down on the heroes, ordinary subjects would have doubts even when they looked at the classics.

Both "Tang Huiyao" and "Tong Dian" have recorded in detail this time the arctic tribe encloses.

"Gu Ligan is located in the north of the vast sea in the north, where two jinjin live together, with four thousand five hundred victorious soldiers, more than ten thousand people, many lilies of grass, famous horses in the land, the country is connected to the ice sea in the north, the days are long and the nights are short, after the sun goes down , the sky is bright, and it is only cooked after cooking a lamb blade, and the east has already dawned. It is also the place where the sun rises. It will be enclosed in the first month of the 21st year of Zhenguan."

What kind of concept is this? In fact, I cook meat at night, and the mutton is not yet cooked, and it will be clear in the sky, and the north is connected to the ice sea. After contacting the context, I know what I am talking about.

Later generations have studied geography a little bit, and it should be clear from the last sentence. This describes the extreme day in the Arctic Circle, and this place is the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. However, even if there are clear records in historical books, later generations are drawing Tang Dynasty When drawing a map, no one dared to draw like this.

This is a true portrayal of the ancestors being so strong that future generations dare not admit it, because if they admit it, future generations will probably lose face.

But now that the Great Song Dynasty already has a background that is far ahead of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Zhao Huan can look directly at the achievements of his predecessors.

He smiled lightly at Yu Yunwen and said, "The empire where the sun never sets is like a bone. The sun sets in the west, but dawn in the east. There is always a piece of land under the sunshine!"

"And this is just the glory that belonged to my Zhu Xia in the Tang Dynasty. I hope that the people of the Song Dynasty can step across the frozen ocean to see if the frozen ocean is the end of the world. What is it like on the other side of the frozen ocean? style."
