Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, if the Yellow River bursts, life will be devastated. I don't know how many people died on the Yinchuan Plain. And not only the Yinchuan Plain, but many places downstream may die." Yu Yunwen was shocked and said.

"In order to completely destroy Xixia, this can only be done. I will never tolerate the existence of hidden dangers in the northwest, and can only completely destroy Xixia. Only in this way can I free up my hands and concentrate on dealing with King Jurchen and King Kang in order to restore the Central Plains and the Zhongxing Song Dynasty. "Zhao Chen said.

"But, your Majesty, have you ever considered how the people of the world will view your Majesty? When your Majesty does this, how will the history books of later generations record your Majesty? They must say that His Majesty is cruel, and compare His Majesty to such characters as Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi." Tao.

Qin Emperor and Hanwu were all famous tyrants in Chinese history. In ancient times, if an emperor was "Qinhuang and Hanwu", it would be extremely vicious. Although they had outstanding meritorious service, they did not meet the standards of Confucian "holy monarchs", so they were not liked by ancient Confucian ministers.

"Gou Li country lives and dies. How can we avoid misfortune and happiness? For the future of my Song Dynasty, for the future of my Han people, I can only do this! If the Central Plains and Zhongxing Song Dynasty can be restored, I will not be afraid of any rumors, and I will not be afraid. How do future generations treat me. Even if they say that I am cruel, what about it? If I can live a good life for the Chinese people and stop suffering, I would rather be cruel to outsiders." Zhao Chen said indifferently.

"Weichen understands! The bursting of the Yellow River is not only a decision of your majesty, but also a common decision of ours." Yu Yunwen was silent for a long time, and said abruptly.

"You have such a mentality, very good! For the future of Song Dynasty, we must not be afraid of everything, not only not afraid of the enemy, but also not afraid of any slander, not afraid of damage to our reputation." Zhao Chen said.

"Thanks for your majesty's guidance, Weichen has been taught." Yu Yunwen nodded and said.

They left more than a thousand people on the banks of the Yellow River, and then headed south together.

The army of more than 200,000 is mighty, and the ranks are extremely long, including 200,000 regular troops and tens of thousands of young people from the production and construction corps.

When they first came to Xixia, many soldiers marched lightly. They only came here after carrying a few days of rations. Even the young people of the Production and Construction Corps delivered not a lot of materials.

But now when they go back, they have countless supplies.

Including the five million taels of gold and five million taels of silver compensated by the Xixia people, including all kinds of wealth plundered from various cities in Xixia. Including all kinds of weapons left by the Xixia army.

In addition to these, there are war horses!

Xixia is located in the land of Hetao, which has been a place for producing horses since ancient times. The Xixia Dangxiang people were also nomads at first, and they were also good at raising horses. When they broke Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, they obtained tens of thousands of war horses. After that, they defeated the main force of Xixia and obtained more than 100,000 war horses. In April, the army raged across the Yinchuan Plain, destroying countless Dangxiang people, towns and villages, and obtained many war horses from those places.

Now there are nearly 200,000 war horses moving south with the army.

For the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Han people have obtained so many war horses.

"The Hetao area has been our horse breeding ground for the Han people since ancient times. In the Han Dynasty, Lingzhou and Liangzhou were set up here. In the Tang Dynasty, this place was also our horse breeding ground. We have lost it for many years, and now we finally seize these places again. Come back. This time we have 200,000 war horses, and we will have more war horses in the future. From now on, we will no longer lack war horses." Ye Yu was overwhelmed, hearing the hooves of horses beside him, Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Yeah, we are no longer short of war horses! Since the establishment of Da Song, we can only passively defend because of the lack of war horses. But after we have war horses, we can take the initiative to attack the enemy." Qu Duan said Beside Zhao Chen, Qu Duan was also very excited when he stroked the fur of the horse under him with his hand.

The Song Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Hetao area. The Song Dynasty army had almost no established cavalry. Without cavalry, the mobility of the army will be greatly reduced. Once war broke out in the frontier, it would be extremely difficult to reinforce it. It is even more difficult to fight deep into enemy territory. This is also an important reason why the military power of the Song Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

And now, they will once again own the Loop and have war horses.

"Your Majesty, how are these two hundred thousand horses distributed?" Yu Yunwen said.

"We want to form a real cavalry! I don’t think so, and give all of the 100,000 horses to the Forbidden Army. The remaining 100,000 horses are divided among the armies. I really want Yue Fei to form a real The cavalry came. When I was in the palace, I had not yet ascended the throne. I used to talk with Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian about the strategies of some foreigners on the grassland. Those foreigners’ riding and shooting are truly invincible in the world. I hope that Yue Fei can train for me. Come out a cavalry like this invincible in the world." Zhao Chen said.

"Foreigners on the grassland? Who are they?" Yu Yunwen said.

"Mongolian, do you know?" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen didn't know if there was the term "Mongolia" at this time. He originally thought that Yu Yunwen was unclear, but who knew that Yu Yunwen nodded. It turns out that the term "Mongolia" has a very long history, and there are records of "Mongolia" in the later Tang books, but the Han people call the Mongols more as "Mengwushiwei people". Until Genghis Khan led the rise of the Mongols, the word "Mongolia" became widely known.

"The Mongols mentioned by your majesty have also been heard by the final general. They used to be vassals of the Khitans, and now they are vassals of the Jurchens. There are quite a few of them, there are countless tribes, but they often fight between them. . And their lives are extremely difficult. In the Liao Kingdom, the Khitans did not allow any iron to enter the northern grasslands. It is said that they used bone arrows. Your Majesty, are their cavalry really powerful?" Qu Duan said.

"Now they may not be great." Zhao Chen was stunned and said with a smile.

Genghis Khan has not yet appeared. Genghis Khan is the number one figure in the ancient battlefield. No one in the world can compare to Genghis Khan. The Mongolian cavalry has also undergone major changes in the hands of Genghis Khan, invincible across Europe and Asia. Now that Genghis Khan has not yet been born, Zhao Chen does not know how the Mongolian cavalry is now.

When Zhao Chen said this, Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen were also stunned.

Zhao Chen laughed loudly, and moved his horse forward.

They trudged all the way forward without stopping.

On the fourth day of May, they came to Jingzhou City.

This Jingzhou City has long since turned into an empty city, and the party members in it have been expelled and headed north.

"Leave a thousand guards here!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

After all, this is a city, it is best not to abandon it. When the Han people become stronger in the future, they will emigrate here sooner or later.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of May, they finally came to Lingzhou City.

The army has not rested since the third day of May, and Zhao Chen ordered the army to enter the city to rest.

Zhao Chen himself has already boarded the walls of Lingzhou City at this moment.

He was looking at the scenery in the distance. There was a lot of farmland in the distance, but now it has been destroyed. In fact, it was a pure military city during the Han and Tang Dynasties, with no farmland outside, only grassland. After the Xixia people stole Lingzhou and other places, they gradually changed from a nomadic nation to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural nation, and countless farmland appeared here.

"Final Zhao Wu, see your Majesty!" At this moment, a voice came from behind Zhao Chen.

"Be flat! From today you will be the guardian of Lingzhou, and you will lead an army of 10,000 to garrison here! In addition, there will be 50,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps staying here! This is a distance from Xingqing, the capital city of Xixia. The mansion is very close, you give me a good watch over Xingqing Mansion! Remember, never let the party members develop again, and destroy them at all costs. You have to gallop on the grassland, no one can resist you. Not only Xingqing The government, as well as the Xixia city in the north, do everything possible to weaken them. Don't let them graze, don't let them farm, drive them to the far and barren north, or force them to accept our rule." Zhao Chen said.

"I will understand." Zhao Wu nodded.

"Lingzhou, we once lost this place, but from now on, we will never lose this place again." Zhao Chen said with a smile on his face.

That night, everyone rested in Lingzhou City.

On the morning of the sixth day of May, they left Lingzhou and headed east.

The rain in the sky gradually disappeared, and the weather finally cleared. At this time, it must have been hot in Central Plains, but on the grassland, it is still extremely cool.

On the eighth day of May, the army once again came to the Gobi.

Although it is the Gobi, a lot of green grass can also be seen here. Many places are lush.

The army entered here from the first month, and half a year has passed unconsciously.

The sky is extremely blue, with white clouds in the distance.

With the breeze blowing, Zhao Chen's mood suddenly became unusually cheerful.

He galloped on the grassland, the wind blew on his face, he suddenly thought of many people.

He thought of Song Qinzong, his relatives in this world. Song Qinzong treated him very well when he was in the Kaifeng Palace that day. Although he and Song Qinzong have only stayed for half a year, he has true feelings for his father and son. Song Qinzong must still be in the Five Kingdoms City in the north, so I don't know how he will be treated. In history, Song Qinzong suffered an extremely miserable experience. He suffered from cold and starvation every day, and was trampled to death by chaotic horses.

Soon he thought of Emperor Zhu again, thinking of Empress Zhu, his heart began to feel sad. Empress Zhu is his mother, who really loves and cares for him, but Empress Zhu has already died in the hands of Jurchen.

"Actually, I am an orphan, struggling alone in this world. My mother is dead. Although my father is still alive in the world, this father still needs me to rescue him. As for the parents of the previous life, they are separated from each other for eternity and can never be We met." Zhao Chen sighed softly.

He galloped, letting the oncoming wind wash away the sadness in his heart.

Not long after, he remembered Zheyue Tathagata again. Zheyue is like the daughter of Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keqiu bullied herself, arrogant and domineering, and was eventually killed by herself. And Zheyueru, although she is a daughter who can be asked for, she is kind, gentle, and pure in her mind like a lotus flower. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and female red embroidery. She was once a famous talented girl in Guan Shan. I don't know what kind of emotion I feel for her, love her and pity her, even though she is the daughter of the enemy, she never killed her. But Zheyueru, she really treats herself as her husband. She was too much bound by the ancient three obediences and four virtues. She lived in the imperial palace in Hanzhong, presumably she was extremely lonely and lonely.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen was a little bit heartbroken.

He shook his head and thought of Song Qingyao again. That white robe came like a woman from a young master Pianpinjia. She is extremely beautiful, and Zhang Ziqiu admires her very much. There was a quaint atmosphere in her body, and she did not hesitate to do what she determined. She said that she liked herself, so regardless of the safety of the people of the White Lotus Sect, she revealed the fact that the White Lotus Sect had framed her. In addition, Zhao Chen only remembers her experience in the palace when she was a child. On that day, she regarded that "A Yao" as a sister and a good friend.

"Strange, how can she like me?" Zhao Chen said.

Then there was the girl in red, Xue Su, who was so obsessed with Zhao Chen that day, he even kissed her on the mouth, and was bitten severely by others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen showed a smile on his face.

"A hundred years of life, a spring of plants and trees! When you come to this world, do what you want to do without complaints and regrets! Cross the world, gallop across the rivers and lakes, only I dominate, this is comfortable!"

Zhao Chen burst into laughter.

He sprinted forward all the way, and behind him countless imperial soldiers followed him closely.

Many things flashed before Zhao Chen's eyes, his speed was getting faster and faster, and he suddenly entered an ethereal state. He felt that he had a better understanding of life and this era.

This time the northern expedition to Xixia, killing 300,000 people of Xixia's main force, almost completely destroying Xixia. He saw that his men and soldiers were struggling to move forward, each stepping forward, giving up their lives and forgetting their lives, for the destiny of the country and the nation, they did everything they could! He also saw the precious side of Xixia's women when Xixia fell, and he also saw the heroic temperament of Li Chage, Weiming Anhui and others!

He suddenly let out a long roar, and danced his sword on the horse!

Sword Qi radiated from his body!

This sword is extremely fierce, as if to destroy everything, destroy everything, irresistible!

"I should conquer everything and overcome everything with supreme courage, supreme perseverance, and supreme wisdom, and lead my Song Dynasty to flourish, so that my Han people can live and work in peace and contentment, and my Han civilization will be extremely prosperous! Let my nation be proud Set up the world and admire all the races! And to achieve all this depends on the sword in my hand!"

Dasho swordsmanship appeared from his hand, and this swordsmanship carried the sword intent that was invincible in the world.

This is exactly the sword intent that Zhao Kuangyin had comprehended in his peak era. At this moment, Zhao Chen finally understood these sword intents.

On May 17, the army came to Yanzhou City!

They rested here for a day, leaving a thousand soldiers and horses here, and then moved on.

On May 22nd, they came to Hongzhou City.

Here, they left a thousand soldiers and horses, and left more than 3,000 young people in the production and construction corps.

After that, they went all the way without stopping. On May 25th, the army came to Yan'an Mansion.

The Forbidden Army in northern Shaanxi stopped here, and here is their garrison.

As soon as Zhao Chen led the rest of the army to leave, he immediately heard the cheers of the tsunami from the mountains behind. It must be that the people of Yan'an Mansion already knew the result of the Xixia War and were cheering at this moment.

On May 27th, the army came to Danzhou, Fangzhou and other places. The Huanqing Army stopped here. This is where the Huanqing Army is located.

The Forbidden Army in Northern Shaanxi and the Huanqing Army are two important lines of defense to prevent the Jurchens from going north! After they come here, at least they don't have to worry about Jurchen going north.

On May 29th, the remaining soldiers of the Jingyuan Army arrived in Wugong County.

In the morning, more than 30 miles away from Wugong County, they first saw a huge crop field.

These crops are lush and growing very well.

Zhao Chen got off the horse and came to Tanaka.
