Chapter 77: Seeing the Capital Again
Chapter 77: See the capital again
A thin and slim Song man in torn clothes squatted in front of the Liao soldiers, trembling all over.
But when he saw the Han hero standing with a knife behind him, he still tried hard to grit his teeth, raised the steel knife he picked up from the Liao soldiers, chopped it off with a fierce knife, and chopped off the head of the Liao soldiers who had not yet died!
Around him, other Song men followed suit, gritting their teeth and chopping off the heads of the Liao soldiers, preparing to take them to the Song Dynasty government for rewards.
In addition, the property on these Liao soldiers was also theirs. According to Luo Dacheng's order, whoever searched for it would be his own. There must be some money in the residences of the Liao soldiers behind the pass. As long as these Liao soldiers were killed, they could go there to search for property.
With their nature, they originally dared not kill people; but at the command of the tall man, no one of these people dared to disobey his orders, so they could only grit their teeth and kill these Liao soldiers, and took their armor, weapons and heads to the Song realm to seek merit and reward.
Luo Dacheng stood among them, looking at the numb people, sighing in his heart.
This era should be a peaceful and prosperous era written by historians. However, at the border, there are Liao soldiers who can kill civilians at will, and even break into the border of the Song Dynasty to kill grass valleys, kill people when they see them, or drive them back and sell them to slaves. If there is a big war, countless people will be killed, and the lives of the people will be in danger.
This is still the case in a peaceful and prosperous era. When the world is in chaos, how painful and in a hurry should the hearts of the people in the world be?
In a vague sense of his disgust towards the Liao Kingdom became increasingly popular. It turned out that the two armies were just ordering against the enemy and had to be killed. These days, when they saw the Liao soldiers on the border with various vicious means against the people, they couldn't help but get angry. Whenever they saw the Liao soldiers harming the Song people, they would set up a killer and would never allow the Liao soldiers to go back alive.
Although I know that I am not from Song, the Song people I have met have the same writing and ethnicity as me and what I say is the same. What is the difference between me?
Therefore, whenever he saw the Song people being bullied and killed by the Liao soldiers, he was very angry and vaguely wanted to change all this so that the Han people in the world would not be bullied and harmed by foreign races, and could walk in the sunshine anywhere with their heads held high!
But how can such a goal be achieved? With your own ability, can you do your best to this goal that has not been achieved for thousands of years?
Seeing all the injured Liao soldiers being cut off, Luo Dacheng stopped his thoughts, stepped onto the carriage, and shouted loudly: "You have arrived at the Songjing Yamen and said that I have sent the mother and daughter of Qingxu Temple to the north. Let Mr. Cao not worry!"
If the emperor and the empress dowager were mentioned, I was afraid that these people would be scared and would not dare to go to the yamen to report to the officials; now, the people would not be so scared when they only talk about Cao Yi. As long as the news of Li Chenfei and his daughter going north to Liaobang were transmitted back to the Song court, they could be safe and worry-free in the village.
The people were far away just now and had never seen many people in the car. Now they put down the curtains and could not see any of the situation inside. After hearing what he said, they realized that he had a relationship with Xianggong Cao of the dynasty and must be a noble person. They hurriedly fell to the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and looked at the noble man who had killed a large number of Liao soldiers, drove the carriage, crossed the pass, and headed far north.
After rushing the car to pass the pass, after a long time, Luo Dacheng finally couldn't help but turn around and look at the Song realm from afar.
Although he had caused a heinous disaster and offended the emperor and the empress dowager, he had to leave the State of Song. However, when he left, he was finally disappointed and didn't know that one day he would be able to set foot on this land again.
The country he was about to go to was cruel and barbaric, causing countless bloody tragedies for the people of the Song Dynasty. In the eyes of the Song people, it was like a demon country. Although he was looking for revenge and did not want to stay in this country for a long time, once he set foot on the land of Liao, he knew that he could not leave this vast country for a long time. How could he not be depressed and sad?
As if he felt the pain in his heart, a petite and gentle body snuggled up from behind, leaning softly beside him, stretching his slender and smooth arms tightly, and pressing his waist tightly on his body. Although there was no sound, there was a rolling warm current coming from the two of them, making Luo Dacheng's heart gradually full of warmth.
She has stepped into a foreign land and has been wandering in a foreign land since then. She is the only one who will be with her in the future. She is so gentle that she will be with her side, willingly wandering around the world with her, tenderness as water, and will never leave her.
Although he was born in the world, his body was like a floating duckweed; it was enough to get a wife like this.
...
The bleak and cold wind surging, blowing up the weeds on the ground, and the wind and dust are flying.
"This is the Nanjing City of Liao Kingdom..." Luo Dacheng drove a big cart and looked at the local city ahead, feeling mixed feelings, not knowing what it felt.
At this time, he had already entered the Liao territory very far, and had been rushing for many days to reach the famous city.
Along the way, I stayed overnight in the morning, and sometimes I couldn't find the villages and towns, so I stayed in deserted places, hugging my beloved girl, and the couple stayed in a big cart. Occasionally, jackals, tigers and leopards appeared, and wanted to find them as snacks, but they were often caught up by Luo Dacheng, stabbed them with a shot, and dragged them back to eat them as snacks.
In his spare time, Luo Dacheng always studied hard with the secrets he took from the Palace of the Song Dynasty. Even when he was rushing the bus, he was thinking about what each sentence meant. Di Liniang was not less spirited in studying than him. When he was rushing the bus in front, Di Liniang sat in the carriage to study the secrets of "The Water-Strike". Sometimes he even took out a sentence and asked and studied with him. The couple studied martial arts together in order to make progress.
In comparison, Luo Dacheng was surprised to find that the flow rate of his true qi was many times faster than his wife. The time for the circulation of the true qi in his body to be much shorter than that of Di Liniang. According to this, his strength increased and entered the country much faster than Di Liniang.
Not only that, Di Liniang herself said that these days, she has also felt that the speed of true qi is accelerating. Judging from this, her cultivation will be much faster than before, and she can enter the ranks of masters in advance.
At night, whenever Luo Dacheng meditates and practices, Di Liniang carefully guards her, guarding against any beasts or enemies. At this time, Luo Dacheng handed over all his life to his wife, and trusting each other deeply is beyond the reach of each other.
Similarly, when Di Liniang was practicing, Luo Dacheng was also protecting her. The two of them studied martial arts together. During this journey north, their strength increased greatly. They supported each other and gradually came to the outside of the city that Luo Dacheng had always wanted to see.
Turning back, Luo Dacheng said warmly to the car: "Madam, we have arrived at Xijin Mansion. Let's go to the city to rest for a day, and then go tomorrow."
"Yes. Everything is dominated by your husband." A soft voice came from the car, and the curtain was lifted, and the young and beautiful girl poked her head out, looking at the city in the distance, showing an innocent and curious expression on her beautiful face.
Above the wilderness, a strong city stands tall. Under the gate, countless people are shuttled through the city gate to see their clothes and hairstyles. Most of them are Han people.
The Liao Dynasty's city was originally cedeed to the Liao Kingdom by Shijingtang of the Later Tang Dynasty. Most of the people living there were Han people. Now they have also become Liao people and become Liao people loyal to the Emperor Shengzong of Liao. Whenever they fight, they have to join the Liao army and fight against the Song army.
The Liao army stationed here is still disciplined. After all, it is the capital of the Liao Kingdom, so it is not easy to do too much. After Luo Dacheng generously stuffed money into their hands, he stopped entangling and let them go into the city.
Standing in Nanjing City, looking at the tall and solid city walls, the Liao soldiers walking around the city, and the people of all races coming and going in the city. Luo Dacheng sighed slowly and recalled endlessly. All the memories came to his heart.
Although this city was named Nanjing, it had another name in his time:
Beijing!
The name is no longer the name, and the city is not that city. This city will be destroyed by war many years later, while the Beijing city, which has stood on the land of China for nearly 700 years, was built by Emperor Kublai Khan more than 200 years later.
However, he had never seen that city. The old city of Beijing was also ordered to be demolished by the government in the 20th century. At that time, the people all over Beijing were dispatched to demolish the walls of the old city, which was unprecedented.
This is no longer the city of Beijing that I once knew. Now, this city is in the territory of Youzhou, Nanjing Xijin Prefecture, the accompanying capital of the Liao Kingdom, also known as Yanjing.
Things change and change in the world, just like this, it is revealed to yourself.
Now, it was 1027 AD. In 927, a hundred years ago, Emperor Taizong of Liao ascended the throne and established this place as the capital. In 1127, a hundred years later, the Jurchens now live in a corner of the northeast will attack the most prosperous city in the world, looting all the huge amount of wealth in the city of Bianliang, and plundering the two emperors, concubines, princesses, civil and military officials, and returning to the north, and the Northern Song Dynasty will be destroyed.
A hundred years later, in the first year of Jingkang, where the shame and humiliation were engraved, probably King Kang Zhao Gou was still in Lin'an City, trying hard to save the broken rivers and mountains; while Yue Fei also led his few subordinates to fight bravely with the Jin soldiers and move step by step towards the road of famous generals. The two emperors Hui and Qin were in a bitter and cold place in the north, and were humiliated by the Jin soldiers. They were reluctant to see their concubines and their wives and daughters being eruditely humiliated by the barbarians, but they could not save them.
Or maybe one day a hundred years later, the two emperors Hui and Qin were also under the city of Yanjing, looking at the mountains and river barriers lost by the Han people, and thinking about the Song Dynasty, which was held without any danger and bullied by foreign races for more than a hundred years, and then burst into tears?
The fall of the Liao Kingdom was two years earlier than the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Jin people rose and swept the world, the Liao people had no power to turn the world. They could only watch the Jin people destroy Liao first and then the Northern Song Dynasty. The prosperity of the family and country has become a passing cloud.
However, the demise of Western Xia was two hundred years later, one, two, two, and seven years later. Today, Western Xia had not yet been established, and two hundred years later, it was destined to be destroyed by the Mongols.
Even though Li Yuanhao was extremely talented and heroic in his life, the king's dominance established by the king's map was ultimately empty.
Temujin's descendants will raid across the earth, eliminate all obstacles, destroy Xia, Jin, and the Southern Song Dynasty, slaughter billions of people in Asia and Europe, and continue to attack Europe, causing Europeans to talk about it, and they are terrifying to the "Yellow Peril", establishing a huge empire across the intercontinental, leaving behind legends of heroes throughout the ages.
Luo Dacheng silently looked at the prosperous scene in Nanjing City, and the crowds coming and going in front of him became empty and vague for a moment.
I have entered this world. I wonder if I can establish a heroic foundation. In the future history, my name will be passed down through the ages?
Or maybe your efforts in this world can eventually change history and prevent the Han family from being broken again and again. Can all the Han people's shame of Jingkang remembered in their hearts no longer appear in history because of their own struggle?
...
In Yanjing, Han people still accounted for the majority, and most of the people were Han people, and the system inherited the Han system.
The Liao Kingdom established the Southern Court and the Northern Court in the government. The Northern Court manages the Khitans, and the Southern Court manages the Han people. Among the officials in the area, there were both Khitans and Han people selected through the imperial examination. All the imperial examinations were not much different from the original Five Dynasties when the Han people were under the jurisdiction of the Han people.
In Youzhou, the future Beijing city, Luo Dacheng touched the feelings of his hometown. He couldn't help but stay for a few more days, accompanying Di Liniang to wander around the city, letting go of worries in his heart, just wanting to make his wife happy. Looking at the joyful smile on the face of the girl like flowers, Luo Dacheng felt excited, and felt that there had never been such a relaxed moment. He had to accompany her in the city and spend more time.
It was cold in the north, and Luo Dacheng was only worried that his delicate little wife could not resist the cold, so he spent a lot of money to buy a cold clothes in the city before leaving Yanjing to travel north.
Di Liniang was pretty, and after wearing a luxurious leather robe, she looked even more cute, like a cold plum in the snow, which made Luo Dacheng look a little dazed. Until she blushed, she smiled and drove the carriage and took her northward.
Ten miles away from the city, I saw a large number of Han people kneeling in the cold wilderness, being whipped by a group of Khitan officials, cursing loudly, and crying and howling all over the wilderness.
Luo Dacheng was angry when he saw it, so he walked forward and asked loudly: "What crime did they commit? Will they be punished like this?"
A Liao official who was whipping the people with a whip turned around and looked at him. Although he saw that he was a Han man, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his eyes. However, seeing that he was dressed in luxury, he was afraid that he was a relative of a high-ranking official in Han, so he said casually: "If you don't pay taxes, this is the end!"
Luo Dacheng was stunned and stepped forward to hold a crying person lying on the ground and asked. He realized that the tax rates set by the Khitans were extremely high, especially for the Han people. In recent years, he changed to a king in the South Courtyard. He was extremely greedy and used to fill his personal pockets. He exploited the Han people and couldn't bear it. These people could not afford the rent and tax, so he was beaten.
Luo Dacheng was angry and rushed upwards. Although he wanted to draw his sword to kill these tax officials, if he killed someone, these people would probably be implicated. There was no way out. The whole family might be killed by the Liao people. What's more, if he saved them, other Han people would still be under the cruel rule of the Liao people.
In desperation, Luo Dacheng had to drive north, listening to the lamenting cry of the people in his ears, almost shattering his teeth.
Everyone is a descendant of the Han family. How can they be ruled by foreign races and live under harsh tyranny?
A vaguely fire rose in his chest, hoping that one day he would completely overthrow this brutal empire so that all people of all races could live equally in the world and no longer be subject to cruel oppression.
But this wish has a long way to go, and I don’t know how many years it takes to achieve this goal.
