Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen was lost in thought, and only the sound of firewood burning could be heard in the room.

"What you just said is right, the world has not yet settled! Although the war in the north has ended and Jurchen has perished, this does not mean that the north is stable! There are still Khitan rebels in the north. Although the Khitan rebels have been broken up, it is still possible. Become a threat! We need ideas to appease these Khitan rebels! Also, millions of people in the north cannot eat, this is the source of war! On the one hand, we must implement military control throughout Liaodong and eliminate all resistance forces, on the other hand, Relief is vigorously carried out in the north. Only in this way can the north be temporarily stabilized.” Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Yu Yunwen nodded.

"But this is only temporary stability! The north was ruled by the Khitans for more than two hundred years, and then ruled by the Jurchens. They may not recognize the rule of our Han people in their hearts, so the ethnic composition here needs to be changed." Zhao Chen Dao.

"How to change the ethnic composition?" Kang An said.

"This couldn't be simpler, of course it is immigration! We have a large population in the Song Dynasty, and this is where we are far superior to foreigners! Many people in Jiangnan, Sichuan and Sichuan can migrate to Liaodong, and we can give various preferential conditions! Production and construction The young people of the Corps can also go to the north and build the north! Ten or twenty years later, the Han population in the north will have an overwhelming advantage, and then it will be impossible for the north to think of chaos again!" Zhao Chen laughed.

Kang An nodded.

"Your Majesty, we can also build a port on the coast of Liaodong to truly connect here with the Central Plains and Jiangnan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"You are right. We want to truly become a part of my Great Song Dynasty. From now on, this place will never be isolated from China! The world needs to rest for a few years, and then gradually carry out various reforms! In addition, the army cannot stop. Come down." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is talking about Korea, Dongying, Annan, and Grassland?" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen smiled, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Yunwen, do you know what the north of Huining Mansion is?" Zhao Chen said after a while.

"The north of Huining Mansion is endless mountain peaks." Yu Yunwen said.

"Where is the end of the mountain?" Zhao Chen said.

"This..." Yu Yunwen shook his head.

To the north of Huining Mansion are countless mountains such as Daxinganling and Waixinganling, and to the north is cold Siberia! However, in this era, Siberia is in a completely uncivilized state, and the indigenous population there is so sparse that it can be ignored, so no one knows those places at all.

"Do you know where Dongying is further east?" Zhao Chen said again.

"This..." Yu Yunwen shook his head again.

Kang An's face next to him also showed a curious look at this moment.

"We often say that the sky is round and round, but is there an end to the sky?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty really embarrassed the ministers." Yu Yunwen smiled bitterly.

"The world is vast and there are many people. Although we have eliminated Jurchen and the people can recuperate, no one knows what is left in the distance! So our army still needs to continue to advance! Of course, we can no longer use the whole country. We will not be aggressive in carrying out such a thing. We will send some of the most elite, adventurous, and pioneering soldiers to do such things!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we don't seem to need to do this?" Yu Yunwen frowned.

"My Han people have been multiplying in this land for thousands of years, but in the last two to three hundred years, my Han people don't want to make progress, just want to be safe! Over the years, I have been thinking why my Han people have become like this? Because my Han lacks pioneering spirit and adventurous spirit, I will inject this spirit into my Han people's blood again to truly make my nation rise." Zhao Chen said.

The Han civilization is a conservative civilization, respecting authority, sticking to conventions, and lacking change. Since the Han Dynasty began to dominate Confucianism, Confucianism has developed in a more conservative direction in a thousand years, and Confucianism, which completely imprisoned personal thought, has become the mainstream of Confucianism. Since the Song Dynasty, China has been bullied by foreigners, from the Jurchens to the Mongols, and then to the Eight-Power Allied Forces and the Japanese. The fundamental reason is that the entire nation is completely closed and conservative. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, they have exclusively respected Neo-Confucianism. Wang Anshi, who represents Xinxue, Su Shi, who represents Shuxue, and Ouyang Xiu of Luling School, have been invited out of the Confucian Temple for worship, and Neo-Confucianism Zhu Xi, Er Cheng, etc., are all invited into the Confucian Temple. In the Confucian Temple, Song Lizong even declared Wang Anshi as the first sinner of the Song Dynasty, who announced the "reform" in the name of the state. The Ming Dynasty began to implement the system of “no one can enter the sea”, and in the Qing Dynasty it was “closed and closed”. The entire nation was unwilling to accept new ideas and inventions from outside, or new ideas within their own nation. New inventions, as for the pioneering spirit and adventurous spirit, are even more unimaginable. Even in the modern times of later generations, the Chinese people are still conservative in their thinking and have not made any famous inventions in more than 100 years.

Therefore, Zhao Chen must do everything possible to make this nation no longer conservative, no longer stay on a continent and dare not move forward. The continuous campaign of the army is only part of it, and there are many more measures.

"Your Majesty, as long as you can make the people prosperous and healthy, then you are a generation of saints, and you don't have to risk doing these things." Yu Yunwen thought for a while and said.

"What is the significance of a generation of sages? Han Gaozu and Tang Taizong can be regarded as generations of sages, right? Even the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty is also a generation of sages, but what has become of Han and Tang Dynasties? Didn't it perish? The past dynasties are nothing more than the repetition of the previous dynasty. Occasionally, there are so-called holy monarchs, which only allow the people to be prosperous and happy for decades! This has been the case for hundreds and thousands of years. What will become of my Han? Forever? Stopping, falling behind! So I don't want to follow the old ways, I want to completely change the world! Do you understand my ambition?" Zhao Chen said.

After a long time, Yu Yunwen nodded.

"We must not be afraid of any difficulties, setbacks, and mistakes! In short, we must build a truly prosperous age that transcends all dynasties, so that we Han people will always be vigorous and never decline!" Zhao Chen said.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen led the imperial troops and horses to continue towards the east.

On the afternoon of the 14th of the first month, Zhao Chen and others arrived outside the city of Huining Mansion.

One hundred thousand Song Army, except for a small number of people on the task, all the others came outside the city to welcome Zhao Chen's arrival. There were long live voices everywhere inside and outside Huining Mansion, resounding across the country.

Zhao Chen got off the horse, and he, Yu Yunwen, Yue Fei and others entered Huining Mansion.

The streets of Huining Mansion were quiet, and there were no other figures except the soldiers.

"Do Jurchen people still dare not go out now?" Zhao Chen said.

"They are all hiding at home, if it wasn't for important things, they wouldn't come out." Yue Fei said.

"How is the law and order here? Has anyone violated military discipline?" Zhao Chen said.

"The law and order here is okay. After twenty years of warfare, most of the Huining Mansion is now made up of women. When we surrounded Huining Mansion, the Jurchen women also participated in the defense of the city, but we captured it. After here, they all hid in their homes and dare not come out! They are women after all! They are not brave enough! Because there are so many women here, we are also very strict with military discipline. If anyone violates military discipline, we will never forgive! The Jurchens are also your Majesty's people, and I are also the people of Song Dynasty. The price of harassing the Jurchens is the same as the price of harassing the people of Song Dynasty. No one will dare to commit the crime!" Yue Fei said.

"That's good! What's the situation with the Khitan Rebels? They were defeated by Wanyan Zonghan that day, where are they now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Khitan rebels are now scattered all over Liaodong. They are scared by the Jurchens and will not gather in a short time! As long as the food for disaster relief arrives, the rebels will be completely disintegrated! In addition, Yeluhong and Xiao Qilang People have already moved south and entered all parts of Liaodong, so that the rebels will not be allowed to cause chaos! In fact, after the Battle of Huanglong Mansion, most of the men in the rebels died at the hands of the Jurchens, and now most of the rebels are women! The entire Liaodong, Now they are mainly women!" Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

In the wars of the dynasties, there were many boys and girls in the end, because the men had to go to the battlefield, and the casualties were great! Like Jurchen men, they all joined the army, and most of the young Khitan men were drawn into the new army by Jurchens. Therefore, it is normal that Jurchen and Khitan are mainly women! In fact, in the Central Plains, the ratio of men to women is quite unbalanced. There are far more women than men.

"Your Majesty, we are going to garrison troops in the north, and the men in our army have been fighting for many years. Most of them are unmarried. There are so many women here. We can encourage lieutenants and soldiers to marry more here. In this way, It is also helpful to change the ethnic composition here, and it is easier for us Han to gain a foothold in Liaodong!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Okay! That's a good idea!" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

They went all the way, and finally came to the Jurchen Palace after two quarters of an hour.

This Jurchen Palace is very different from the Zhongjing Palace! Because after the Zhongjing Palace was looted by Jurchen, the bustling scene was no longer there, but there was no damage here, it was truly magnificent!

Zhao Chen just looked at it for a while and stepped in. After thinking about it, he asked: "Where is the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qibuy? Take him to see me immediately!"
