Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 289

Qi Cheng got up in the morning and looked at the weather outside. The weather has not been very good these days, but it is not snowing today, but raining.

Alas, the temperature here is still a bit high.

He was going to play at Zhou Lu's place in the afternoon, so he asked the system to quickly pick someone to answer the questions.

"Kou Zhun of the Song Dynasty."

Qi Cheng remembered watching a TV series when he was a child, which told the story of Kou Zhun. However, the actor may have misunderstood the story and portrayed the prime minister of the Song Dynasty as a second-rate person.

"Host, the Tang Dynasty had the civil servant Pei Xingjian, and the Ming Dynasty also had many literati capable of leading troops. Could it be that the Song Dynasty didn't have any powerful literati?"

He had known Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi from looking at the sky curtain before, but the ability of these two men to lead troops was indeed a little lacking, and they were even mocked by the enemy in poems.

He felt that there must be such people in the Song Dynasty!

It’s just that the host didn’t introduce it.

Ming Dynasty

The more they lack something, the more they want to show it off. Last time, the Song Dynasty seemed to have asked about military strength. Zhu Di shook his head silently. If he was chosen, he would ask about firearms.

........

"If we talk about scholars leading troops in the Song Dynasty, I think the first person to mention is Yu Yunwen of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was quite powerful, and he had something to do with the death of King Hailing."

"In the 29th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, several envoys had already reported that the Jin Dynasty was planning to invade the Song Dynasty from the south, but Emperor Gaozong of Song did not believe it."

"I feel like Jin can't find any reason, so he's not on guard at all."

"It wasn't until the news spread to several factions that he arranged for preparations. However, these generals were a bit cowardly and kept retreating!"

"For example, Wang Quan, who was defending the Jianghuai region, didn't dare to go to the front lines at all, and his troops retreated all the way to Caishi. And Ye Yichen, who was assigned by Emperor Gaozong, was also as cowardly as a mouse."

"Although Wang Quan was dismissed, he didn't dare go to the front lines, so he arranged for Yu Yunwen, who was then the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, to go quarry stones to reward the troops."

"Only when Yu Yunwen arrived at Caishi did he discover that the Jin army had already reached the north bank of the Yangtze River. The Caishi army had no commander at all, and morale was terribly low."

Tang Dynasty

Several generals were a little surprised. They were fighting with Tubo very well, but why did the later dynasties become so weak that they were easily defeated by Tubo and reached the Yangtze River?

Moreover, the new commander has not arrived yet, so why did the previous commander leave? Don’t the two need to take over?

This is unreasonable.

宋朝

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand, thinking to himself that these were not his descendants, but the descendants of that bastard Lao Er. He knew the news a long time ago, so why didn't he prepare in advance?

And there's no reason? They can always find a reason to beat you up if they want to.

And those officials are so timid. If that’s the case, then they shouldn’t be officials and just find a place to farm.

.......

"The official who went with Yu Yunwen told him not to get involved in this matter. He was only responsible for rewarding the troops, and the war had nothing to do with him."

"What did Yu Yunwen say? Now is a time of national crisis. How can we care about our own gains and losses?"

"So he gathered the remaining generals and soldiers to boost morale! Then he defeated the Jin army's southward-crossing fleet on the Yangtze River. The next day, he mobilized his troops and raided Yangshupu on the opposite bank, burning the Jin army's ships."

"The Jin army commander, King Hailing, demanded that his troops cross the Yangtze River within a day or face court-martial. His soldiers then simply beheaded King Hailing."

"Of course there are other reasons as well."

big man

Liu Che slammed the table happily. The division between civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty was not so strict now, but he quite liked people who could share the country's worries.

This is the responsibility of a minister.

I hope that there will be people like this in the Han Dynasty who will always put the interests of the Han Dynasty first.

Daqin

"What does this prove? It proves that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are no worse than those of the Jin Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty always loses battles, and it should be the fault of those ministers."

"And that emperor? The host has long said that this Emperor Gaozong is a notorious tyrant. Even when the country has reached this point, he is still thinking about seeking peace." Li Si shook his head. He was more worried about Yu Yunwen.

It won’t be shelved.

"That shouldn't be possible. Even if an emperor is incompetent, he can't harm his capable ministers when there are powerful enemies outside."

.......

"Are there any from the Northern Song Dynasty?" Kou Zhun asked.

"There were some during the Northern Song Dynasty, but they were during the latter part of the Northern Song Dynasty, and they served Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou. Ultimately, their ambitions were unfulfilled, and they died with regret."

"This is Zong Ze! He was a Jinshi (a scholar) and initially served as a minor official, at most becoming the Tongpan (magistrate) of Dengzhou."

"Later, he was demoted for a trivial matter!"

"In the first year of the Jingkang reign, the Jin army marched south. Zong Ze was ordered to lead the army to defeat the Jin army in Cizhou. Later, when the Jin army marched south again and besieged Kaifeng, Zhao Gou was the Grand Marshal of the Army and Zong Ze was the Deputy Marshal of the Army."

"Later, Zong Ze stayed in Kaifeng and wrote several letters hoping that Zhao Gou would return to Kaifeng. However, the timid Zhao Gou would never agree and even tried to interfere with Zong Ze."

"When Zong Ze was dying, he still shouted to cross the river!"

Ming Dynasty

Although these things have already happened in history, several ministers still had tears in their eyes when they watched them, and at the same time they made up their minds to learn from Zong Ze and Yue Fei.

I just hope the person sitting up there doesn’t look like Emperor Gaozong of Song.

"We can't compare with the Song Dynasty. After all, their dynasty was richer than our Ming Dynasty. You say our territory is larger than the Song Dynasty, so why don't we have money?"

"It's because we can't collect taxes. I think we talked about this issue before the video."

Qing Dynasty

Emperor Qianlong looked at the sky with a smile. Although the Song Dynasty did have two such powerful ministers, they could not defeat the Jin Dynasty. If it were not for the Mongols, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed by the Jin Dynasty in a few years.

"Heshen, do you think there is such a person in our Qing Dynasty?"

"Of course there is."

Heshen actually had the answer in his mind, which was the people mentioned on the sky curtain who suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, since these people were all Han people, it was estimated that mentioning them would make the emperor unhappy.

"Tell me who they are."

Heshen lowered his head and thought for a while. There was no need to think about the Manchu generals in front of him. Some of them didn’t even know how to read, let alone be literati.

I can name a few Han people, but they have flaws.

"Ok?"

"There is a man of extraordinary talent, eloquent and eloquent. His poetry is magnificent, and in military affairs he can be said to be able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away."

"Who is so powerful?" Qianlong asked with a smile.

"Of course it's you, Your Majesty."
