Chapter 561: Savage Body

[The story of Marshal Yue has come to an end for now. In the next issue, let's talk about the story of a child born during Marshal Yue's fourth Northern Expedition.

Before the end of this issue, I would like to talk about the Jin Dynasty, which is a very special dynasty in Chinese history.

Because in the two thousand years from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, if you count carefully, the Jin Dynasty is the only agricultural regime that was completely and thoroughly destroyed by the grassland nomadic regime.

The Mongolian extermination of the Jin Dynasty did not rely on the military power or institutional reforms of any other regime from beginning to end. It relied purely on the power of the grassland to destroy the Jin Dynasty. This is rare in history, and it is not difficult to find the weak nature of the Jin Dynasty after peeling off this coat.

After Yue Fei's fourth Northern Expedition, Han Chang's theory of the north-south change of power was based on the premise that the elite class of the Jin Dynasty was rapidly corrupted.

The battle of searching mountains and checking seas was actually the last afterglow of the elite class of the Jin Dynasty. After that, the Meng'an Mouke of the Jin Dynasty began to enjoy the fruits of victory obtained from the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Destroy Western Liao? Destroy Southern Song? Destroy Western Xia? How can these be as comfortable as eating and drinking at home?

"I have fought all my life, can't I enjoy myself? Let's continue to play music and dance!" by Liu Bei.

So it is no wonder that Jin Wushu's military fraud against the Southern Song Dynasty in the Huaixi War was a great success. After all, there were many people in the Jin Dynasty who just wanted to be rich and live in peace like Wanyan Gou. He really understood Wanyan Gou's psychology thoroughly.

In addition, the extremely naive political and lack of a stable ideology were also the reasons why the Jin Dynasty died so suddenly.

This is actually not difficult to understand. The representative figure is Yelu Yuyang.

Yelu Yuyang, a member of the Liao Dynasty and a general, was forced to surrender to the Jin Dynasty by Emperor Tianzuo's tricks, and became the vanguard of destroying the Liao Dynasty to show his loyalty.

Such a person should have become the key figure for Jin to win over Khitans, but the Meng'an Moukes of Jin ignored the various merits of Yelu Yuyang, the guide, and did not reward or give him any reward. In the end, they wanted to forcibly move the Khitans to Liaodong to farm, forcing Yelu Yuyang to rebel against Jin again, which worsened the relationship between Jin and Khitan.

The Jurchens of Jin actually originated from the fishing and hunting civilization of Liaodong. Without the help of the Khitans, they naturally could not rule the grasslands. As a result, the rise of the Mongols was not hindered at all.

Didn't the Khitans know that a nomadic people had risen on the grasslands? Of course they knew, but even if the Khitans loved the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty never loved the Khitans. In this case, the Khitans did not mind being the vanguard of Mongolia and chasing the Jin Dynasty.

Ideology is even simpler. In fact, looking back at the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were able to extend their power to the grasslands, the common method at that time was to mix Hufeng and Hanyun, that is, "Hanized Hu people" and "Hanized Han people" worked together to take the advantages of both sides, and finally achieved the effect of civilized spirit and barbaric body as the teacher once said.

The early Hanization faction of the Jin Dynasty was wiped out by Jin Wushu, and finally the overall tendency was Hanization but obsessed with the old customs of the Jurchens. In the end, the shortcomings of both Han and Hu were combined, achieving the effect of barbaric spirit and civilized body, and finally perished.

If the perspective dimension continues to rise, the Jin Dynasty actually had a very good opportunity at that time.

They originated in Liaodong. Among the six capitals set before and after, Zhongdu (Yanjing), Shangjing (now Heilongjiang), Dadingfu (now Chifeng South, Inner Mongolia), and Dongjing (now Liaoyang) were all located in or quite close to the Songliao Plain.

At the same time, the climate was in the last 150 years of warm period before the Little Ice Age, which was almost the same as the climate in the early Tang Dynasty.

The status of Songliao Plain is self-evident. It is one of the three major black soils in the world, one of the most fertile soils in nature, and the most valuable agricultural resource in human history. my country even legislated to protect it a few years ago. It is the world's best in terms of both rarity and fertility.

Compared with the Wu Plain and Mississippi Plain of the same period, Songliao Plain is the closest black soil to the center of civilization and is relatively easy to develop.

At that time, the Jin Dynasty had actually solved the difficulties in developing this black soil:

The embarrassing situation of Songliao Plain at the intersection of farming, fishing, hunting and nomadic civilizations was solved through war, and the problem of insufficient population was solved through looting.

At the same time, it also encountered a warm period that was rare in hundreds of years, and the problem of extremely cold climate did not need to be worried about within a hundred years.

Modern archaeologists have also discovered hundreds of Liao and Jin Dynasty fortresses on this black soil, which is also evidence of the development of black soil by the Jin Dynasty.

But in the end, due to the extremely unstable political environment within the Jin Dynasty and the ever-changing political center, coupled with the fact that Jin Xuanzong later moved south to Kaifeng under the threat of Mongolia, the development of this precious land also ended in failure.

In terms of agricultural management, it was not as good as the Southern Song Dynasty, in terms of unifying nomadic pastoralism, it was not as good as the later Qing Dynasty in terms of management of nomadic peoples, so the demise of the Jin Dynasty was justified. 】

In the Bianliang Palace, the broken chair legs hit the buttocks together, and the feeling transmitted to the head made Zhao Guangyi straighten his back immediately. He raised his head unconsciously and saw a long passage of words floating on the light curtain:

〖Zhang Fei: Chi! Rats still need skins and dogs still need to guard the house. What you, a female slave, have done is worse than that of dogs and rats! You son of a bitch eats dog shit. When you left Zhuo County, you should have brought your Zhao Song ancestors out. If you can fight the bandits and die in Xinye and Xuzhou, it can be regarded as doing good for the people of Zhao Song!

Zhang Fei: Zhao Da, if you can't deal with your brother born from Louzhu Aizhi, you should tell me who your ancestors were during the Han Dynasty. I, the general of the expedition, will decide to change your surname to Wanyan, so that future generations won't have to worry about your descendants' surnames and names!

It's easy to scold, but the reaction arc is a little long, follow!

It's a little bit! I don't understand this scolding. 〗

Zhao Guangyi naturally had no difficulty reading it. What a maid's words, what Louzhu Aizhi is a breeding sow and a boar, who can't understand?

So his face suddenly turned red, and he almost burst out a few dirty words, but in the end he was mercilessly beaten back by his elder brother with a stick, and turned into a painful wail:

"Ah... Brother, that pig-killing Zhang Fei cursed you!"

Zhao Kuangyin turned a deaf ear to him, and hit his brother twice with a stick, so that he had no strength to wail, and then said:

"This Huan Hou's curses are still a little lacking."

Throwing away the chair leg in his hand, Zhao Kuangyin moved his body and immediately felt that the injustice in his chest also dissipated a lot along the broken leg of the chair.

Then he turned his head and asked Zhao Pu as if nothing had happened:

"Then the climate and heavenly secrets map that was shown to us by the past and future generations...are there any more?"

Zhao Pu nodded, and then without looking at his feet, he turned around and took out a piece of thin paper from the bookshelf next to the eunuch, unfolded it and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin.

Then the monarch and his minister stared at the cooling of the temperature at the turn of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, frowned, and talked in a low voice.

Liu Han, who was standing by, realized it later. Thinking about the curse signed by Zhang Fei and looking at the King of Jin who was lying in a heap at the emperor's feet, he was suddenly a little shocked:

According to this, King of Jin really seized the throne?
