The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 444: The Southern Song Dynasty Continues to Lose Wisdom: Emperor Lizong of Song Enters Luoyang during the Duanping Period
The period of Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty
Liu Lun felt deeply that the people in the Southern Song Dynasty were very sick.

"The past events of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong are still fresh in my mind."

"Can't you learn something?"

Liu Zhuang was kneeling on the couch.

With the sticks across his legs, he glanced at him sideways and snorted:

“It’s hard for people to see the road ahead, but they can see the road behind them clearly, even if they just take a small step.”

“When you encounter a fork in the road, there may not be a right way or a wrong way, but only this way and that way.”

Liu Lun was so upset that he moved his legs and straightened the mat he was sitting on.

Muttering:

"Then why do I use my in-laws to fight you?"

Liu Zhuang rolled up his sleeves, held the stick, and sneered:

"Reason is reason! Reality is reality!"

“Some people will stumble on the straight path, but others can persevere through the ditches and trenches and become stronger.”

"Which one do you think you are?"

"You used it! You can't control it! Then you are wrong!"

"Come on, come on! Let me vent my anger by hitting you three times..."

Liu Lun pushed himself up with the mat and suddenly jumped up!
Liu Zhuang just sat there and waved his stick.

The whistling sound of the wind scared Liu Lun so much that he limped away!
"Humph……"

"You can't even clean your own ass, yet you still criticize others."

Liu Zhuang just wanted to scare him and didn't really want to hit him.

He looked toward the sky.

“The past history is vivid in our minds, but no one cares.”

"When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

……

【At this time, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was Song Lizong. 】

【Since Han Tuozhou's death, Shi Miyuan has been in power, and the political situation in the Southern Song Dynasty has deteriorated.】

[In 1224, Song Ningzong died without a son, so during his lifetime, he appointed Zhao Yuju, another descendant of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Song Taizu, as the heir of Yi Wang Zhao Yu, and made him the crown prince. He was renamed Zhao Yun and became Song Lizong.]

[In 1233 AD, Shi Miyuan died of illness, and Song Lizong began to rule the country. ]

[At the beginning of his personal rule, he was determined to revive the country. He changed the era name to "Duanping" to show his reformist intentions. He then demoted the remnants of Shi Miyuan's followers and invited Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and others who were demoted during Shi Miyuan's time to the capital and restored them to their original positions.]

【Respecting Neo-Confucianism as the national learning, and appointing a large number of Neo-Confucian scholars as officials. 】

……

On the canopy.

Lin'an Mansion.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne.

His Royal Highness's Minister was beaming with joy.

The sun shines into the palace.

Everyone was shrouded in haze.

"Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at everyone with a smile.

"Now the northern barbarians surrender their heads and offer them to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

"The success of revenge depends on the efforts of you all!"

"Since the conquest of Caizhou, the northern border is still in ruins."

"Do you have any good ideas to help me solve my worries?"

As soon as the words fell, the hall inevitably fell into silence.

But the silence did not last long.

A minister in purple strode forward and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I think we should take the pass and guard the river!"

"Take advantage of the fact that the main force of Mongolia is retreating northward and Henan is empty, and recapture the three capitals of Tokyo Kaifeng, Nanjing Guide and Xijing Luoyang as soon as possible!"

"Move the border northward from the Huai River and Dasan Pass to the Yellow River and Tong Pass!"

"With the strategic location of Heluo, our dynasty will have nothing to worry about!"

Without any response from the ministers, another minister stepped out and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi's words are nonsense!"

"Evaluating the situation in the north and south and the strength of our dynasty and Mongolia, it is not yet time to start a war!"

"The current national strength of our dynasty is not enough to hold the pass and the river! Logistics and supplies are difficult to solve!"

"Sending troops rashly would only create an excuse for Mongolia to invade the south!"

"Your Majesty! Please think twice!"

……

[After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongolian army withdrew to Guanzhong, leaving the Henan area empty. ]

[On the eighth day of the fifth month in 1234, Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to dispatch troops to Henan.]

[On the third day of June, Zhao Kui, the governor of Huaidong, led 50,000 Huaidong troops to leave Sizhou and march north, passing through Lingbi and Suzhou, and recaptured Guide Prefecture on the ninth day of June.]

[On the fifth day of the seventh month, Li Boyuan and others, commander of the Anping Commandery in Bianjing, killed Cui Li and surrendered, welcoming the Song army into the city.]

[On July 20, Zhao Kui, the governor of Huaidong, arrived in Bianjing.]

[On July 28, 300 households in Luoyang opened the city gates, and Huaixi commander Xu Minzi led a large army into Luoyang.]

[So far, the three capitals of the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty - Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture (Guide), Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, and Xijing Henan Prefecture were all recovered. ]

[Historical name: Duanping entered Luoyang]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che put one hand on his knee and supported himself on the couch with the other hand.

A scoff.

"If Mongolia wants to invade the south, it will always find a pretext." "However, the Central Plains has experienced many wars and has no food for the army. It is reasonable to say that the national strength is not enough to defend the pass and the river all at once."

The corners of Huo Qubing's mouth twitched slightly.

"But... this is too... rash to send out troops without any preparation."

"How can we defend the city without food?"

Liu Che snorted disdainfully and reached out to pick up the wine cup on the table.

"Song Dynasty? That's normal."

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan, whose temperament gradually calmed down, held his knees and sighed.

"A northern expedition aimed at gaining military merit to improve one's own status or gain capital for the court."

"The Song emperors were overwhelmed by their fanatical selfishness, and were inevitably inconsiderate, impatient, and hasty in their actions, leading to failure."

Zhuge Liang smiled with relief.

The value of the Song Dynasty is that it enlightened Your Majesty!

The late emperor!

There is hope for the third revival of the Han Dynasty!

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a surge of blood boiling in his body!
Good! Since Your Majesty has the bearing of a monarch!

Then I can't be depressed!
Zhuge Liang decided to cheat!

Hindsight is 20/20! Open!

Black powder! Come!
……

Datang.

Li Shimin twirled his beard and thought.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, this strategy was not simply a shift in the border defense line caused by a single military expedition, but a systemic change in the entire northern border defense of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Instead of considering Dashan Pass as a border issue, he wanted to build a new defense system on the south bank of the Yellow River.

It is not something that an ordinary dynasty could afford to carry out such a revolutionary project in such a short period of time.

Not to mention the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Luoyang..."

Li Shimin put his hands on the pillow.

Are there only 300 households left in the huge city of Luoyang?

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di looked at the sky, as if he was talking to himself, or to someone else.

"Three hundred households..."

"The war of plundering the Song Dynasty caused by the Mongols' use of the route resulted in the death of tens of millions of people in the 17 states of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"So many people died in the Xinmao Rebellion!"

"Luoyang is considered good."

"They are not good people!"

"A centipede is still alive even after death!"

Zhu Gaochi pretended not to hear anything.

He is almost worried to death now!

But it was easy for him to be the emperor.

The emperor only needs to rush into battle, but as the prince, I have a lot of things to consider!
Who is the emperor after all?

……

[However, after years of war and Mongolian plunder, both Bianjing and Luoyang were in ruins and there was no way to obtain food.]

[After a large number of Song troops entered the city, they immediately fell into famine. ]

[At that time, Zhao Kui sent Xu Minzi as the military supervisor to lead 13,000 troops to attack Luoyang, and ordered Yang Yi to lead 15,000 troops as backup. Both armies only had five days of food each.]

[After Xu Minzi entered the empty city of Luoyang, he was ambushed and surrounded by the Mongolian army outside the city.]

[The reinforcements led by Yang Yi were ambushed by the Mongolian army in the east of Luoyang City. The army was completely defeated and countless soldiers fell into the Luo River. Yang Yi was the only one who escaped.]

[The Mongolian army that ambushed the Song army was not composed of real Mongolians. The leader of the Mongolian army was a Han hereditary noble who surrendered to Mongolia.]

[When the Mongolian army returned north, this army was left behind to pacify the Central Plains. It was stationed north and south of the Yellow River with a very clear purpose: "to contain the Song army."]

[On the first day of August, the Mongolian army, which had defeated Yang Yi's army, approached Luoyang and laid siege to the city.]

[The Song army, trapped in the predicament of running out of food and aid, had reached the point of killing horses for food. Xu Minzi decided to abandon Luoyang and retreat eastward to Kaifeng. ] [The scene of the restoration of the three capitals of the Central Plains ended after only five days. ]

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin took the pills and looked normal.

Normal, too normal.

How can it be called a big gift if you don’t give a “big gift”?

With a "gulp", he swallowed the medicinal paste in his mouth.

Zhao Kuangyin licked his teeth.

I'll just watch and see what other tricks you can come up with!

……

[The Mongolian army attacked the Song army for more than 100 miles, causing 80% to 90% casualties. Xu Minzi was shot and wounded, and fled back to Guangzhou, a border county of the Southern Song Dynasty, on foot.]

[Zhao Kui, who stayed in Bian Jing, did not send reinforcements upon hearing the news, but instead reported false battle information to the court, describing the defeat and disarray as "annihilation of the enemy's elite" and the defeat as "preservation of strength."]

[The army eventually ran out of food and money, and the Mongolian army took advantage of the situation to divert water from the Yellow River, so they had to retreat southward.]

[Ironically, because the Yellow River flood blocked the way, when Xu Minzi was defeated in Luoyang and Zhao Kui abandoned Bianjing and retreated south, the Southern Song Dynasty's rulers and ministers had just received the victory news of the recovery of Tokyo Bianliang.]
