Chapter 69: The Sheep Leading Ceremony Screen Appears, and Each Interface Has a Lot of Emotions
Even though Zhao Ji was extremely talented and a master of both calligraphy and painting, he had to be nailed to the cross of shame because of the Jingkang Incident.
I don’t know if Big Data knows what Li Ranran is thinking. The next video recommendation is
【 Take you to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and see the Shame of Jingkang. 】
(The picture shows thousands of prisoners of war, all of whom were escorted forward to a temple, and then all knelt down. Both men and women were required to take off their shirts and put on sheepskin. They crawled all the way to the front of the temple to kowtow, and then were driven to crawl to the big tent, kowtowed to the people in the center and apologized...)
【 If we talk about the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, we have to talk about the Jingkang Shame. How humiliating was the Jingkang Shame? We can see it by just looking at the Jin Kingdom's captive offering ceremony - the sheep-leading ceremony.
The princes, ministers, concubines and princesses were driven naked and covered in sheepskin like sheep and forced to kowtow. The two emperors kneeling in the front were Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, and Emperor Qinzong of Song, Zhao Huan.
Jin Taizong gave them both ironic titles: Duke Hun De and Marquis Chong Hun.
【 Why did the Jingkang Shame happen? 】
[ Was this humiliation caused by Jin being too strong and Song being too weak?
No. Although Jin was strong when it was just established, it was not yet able to completely destroy the Northern Song Dynasty. Even the Jin Dynasty itself was surprised that it could reach the gates of Bianjing, and it was even more unexpected that it could break through Bianjing and destroy the Northern Song Dynasty.
Is it because the Song army was too incompetent, the court officials were incompetent, and the people were not on the side of the Song?
Not really. The Song army was a bit weaker than the Jin army in the early days, but they were not all incompetent. Although there were six thieves in the court, the decision maker was often the emperor. Although there were uprisings among the people, most of the people still supported the Song Dynasty.
So who caused all this tragedy and humiliation?
The answer is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. 】
[What shocking actions did the Northern Song emperors take? 】
[The series of actions taken by the Northern Song Dynasty when facing the Jin Army always make people dumbfounded. That series of stupid actions makes people want to dig into the brain of the Northern Song emperor to see if there is a trap?
As we all know, the Northern Song Dynasty's archenemy was the Liao Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty's archenemy was the Jin Dynasty.
When the Jurchens rose to power and established their own nation, they wanted to destroy the Liao Kingdom to eliminate future troubles, but they were worried about being isolated and weak. So there was the Song-Jin Sea Alliance, agreeing to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom. Afterwards, the Song Dynasty would transfer the annual tribute to Liaoshen to the Jin Kingdom, and at the same time, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would be returned to the Northern Song Dynasty.
At this time, the Jin Kingdom overestimated the Song army, and the Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Ji also overestimated the Liao army.
At this time, the Liao army had already become corrupt and was almost destroyed by the Jin army. The Song army encountered the Fang La uprising in the south, which caused serious damage to the Jianghu area of the Northern Song grain-producing area, making it unable to send troops.
After the Jin army conquered Zhongjing and Emperor Tianzuo of Liao fled, the Song Dynasty woke up and realized that Liao was not as powerful as it seemed...
After the Song Dynasty put down the Fang La uprising, it prepared to attack the Liao and take over the Youyan area.
The Liao Kingdom, which was thought to be on the verge of destruction by the Jin Army, actually defeated the Song Army twice. The Song Army now completely exposed its true strength to others.
The Jin Kingdom kept all of this in mind, and had the desire to try to destroy the Song Dynasty. Once the seeds were planted, they would germinate and bear fruit. 】
[The Jin Kingdom began to worry about the Song Kingdom, but due to the alliance between the two countries, they had to live in peace for a while.
But! Zhao Ji started with his tricks.
Zhang Jue, a former general of the Liao Dynasty, expressed his willingness to surrender Pingzhou to the Song Dynasty. However, due to the Song-Jin treaty, both sides could not accept the other's surrender. So the officials in Bianjing suggested to Zhao Ji not to accept it, but Zhao Ji refused and insisted on accepting it.
Zhao Ji's acceptance gave the Jin Kingdom an excuse to attack the Song Dynasty.
The Jin army sent troops to Pingzhou and demanded that the Song Dynasty hand over the surrendered general Zhang Jue.
What did Zhao Ji want to do? He wanted to keep things quiet, so he ordered Zhang Jue to be beheaded and sent to the Jin army.
How could such a person who loves to take advantage of small gains, has no sense of the overall situation, goes back on his word to his subjects, and is extremely cowardly be the emperor of the Song Dynasty?
Zhao Ji's actions made all the Liao surrendered generals and soldiers in the Song Dynasty feel uneasy and dangerous.
So when the Jin army marched south again in the seventh year of Xuanhe, Guo Yaoshi, the Liao general who was in charge of garrisoning Yanjing, surrendered and became a guide.
Thus began the first siege of Bianjing.
However, Jin's Western Route Army was trapped in Taiyuan, causing the Eastern Route Army to be isolated and advance deep into the enemy's territory, which stretched its combat effectiveness and was not conducive to combat.
The Song army's troops from all over the country were also heading towards Bian Jing, and the pro-war Li Gang was commanding the battle in the court. The walls of Bian Jing were high and thick, and it was not easy to attack. The residents in the city were also willing to fight the enemy together. With the army and civilians united, why should they worry about the Jin army not retreating?
But Zhao Ji said: "I am worried, I can't sleep well because of my fear every day!" He looked at the crown prince Zhao Huan and said, "My son, you are capable. Come, take the throne in advance. From now on, you are the emperor!"
Prince Zhao Huan used all his strength to refuse, but it was useless!
So Zhao Ji, who became the emperor emeritus, immediately fled south with his concubines.
To be honest, if any normal emperor saw his father running away at this time, he would personally go on stage to encourage the people, boost military morale, and work hard to govern the country.
But unfortunately, Zhao Huan was not a normal person, and his reign title was Jing Kang.
…… 】
< The Song Dynasty always used the tactic of "driving away the wolves and swallowing the tigers", but unfortunately every time it used it, it was defeated and destroyed... >
<Zhao Ji still had some ambitions. He would think: I have taken over the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that Taizu and Taizong could not take back. I am a more powerful emperor than them!>
< If the Song army had taken it by their own ability, the Jin army would not have dared to invade the south so quickly. It was only because they were beaten by the Liao Kingdom that they asked the Jin army for help, and finally redeemed it from the Jin army. >
< Song Huizong Zhao Ji was nicknamed: Great Intelligence>
<The Zhang Jue incident is just like the "Shangdang" incident during the Warring States Period. Even if Zhao did not accept Shangdang, Qin and Zhao would still have a war, and there would be another "Changping". The key is how you handle it. Unfortunately, you have to deal with Emperor Huizong of Song...>
<No, it should be that the three emperors in a row, Huizong, Qinzong, and Gaozong, were really the blessing of the Song Dynasty [helpless]>
< Zhao Huan: No, I really don’t want to be the emperor [crying]>
< Alas, Zhao Ji is proficient in everything, such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and Cuju. Can you let him become an emperor? No, he doesn't have the ability, you know. >
<If I were to travel back in time, I would definitely beat Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong to death first.>
< Jin Jun: Song State is like a shaky house, just one kick and it will collapse. [Eat melon]>
< Song Guo: You didn’t expect that, I really didn’t pretend. [Laughing and crying]>
……
Just as he was watching the movie with great interest, his phone ran out of battery, so Li Ranran had to go get a charger.
The people on the other side of the light curtain were also looking furious, and then it disappeared? !
Before Emperor Huizong of Song, people from all walks of life were still wondering how the Jingkang Shame happened? How many more tricks did Zhao Ji have? His son should be no worse than his father, right? As a Han emperor, performing the sheep-leading ceremony for a foreign race was really shameless!
Huo Qubing, who had just returned from defeating the Xiongnu, complained to his uncle Wei Qing: "The Song Dynasty is really a coward. Once the emperor is cowardly, how can the people below have any courage?"
Wei Qing agreed and put his hand on Huo Qubing's shoulder: "We are very lucky to have met Your Majesty."
Sima Yan felt that he had finally found a dynasty that he could criticize. "Being an emperor is not like writing or painting. Humph, is this kind of person worthy of it?"
The other ministers all agreed: "Your Majesty is right. Except for Taizu, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty were incompetent."
Sima Yan's face immediately turned dark after hearing these words, and he cursed in his heart, "My Jin is also a mess except for the beginning but the rest of the time!"
On the way to fight the rebels, Yang Yong did not forget to share his thoughts with other generals: "This Zhao Huan is too cowardly. If I were him, I would definitely unite everyone and prepare the troops!"
Generals such as Pang Huang didn't care whether Crown Prince Yang Yong was bragging or not, they all looked at Yang Yong with the eyes of "This is the Crown Prince of the Great Sui Dynasty".
Yang Yong expressed that he benefited greatly from this and felt very proud of it.
Li Shimin's attitude towards the Song Dynasty was the same as his attitude towards Li Longji. Don't mention these frustrating things, he can't bear to hear them.
The officials of the Zhenguan court said: "Foreigners? Not bad, some are not easy to fight, but generally speaking they are easy to fight."
Li Longji felt that Guangmu finally stopped mentioning him. Keep it up and talk more about the Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty! Stop talking about the Anshi Rebellion and me!
Zhao Kuangyin?
Ok…
When I saw the sheep-leading ceremony at the beginning, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.
Zhao Guangmei was so angry that she fainted.
Only Zhao Dezhao, at a young age, took on the responsibility of taking care of the family.
Before Zhao Kuangyin was ready to vent his anger, the light screen that had been closed briefly started playing again.
