Chapter 299 Wanyan Aguda
In another timeline, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty stared intently at Lin Ke on the small screen.
To be precise, we should keep a close eye on what she says.
At the same time, it was also very clear that, according to Lin Ke's previous revelation, the two emperors were captured in the north, and the concubines, princesses, and even members of the royal family were all brought to the Jin camp.
Their fate was predictable, but perhaps it shouldn't have happened, or perhaps it could have been prevented!
But! Ironically, this part of history ultimately became a disgrace!
……
The other side of the live stream room.
Lin Ke took several deep breaths, afraid that she wasn't prepared and would explode in anger on the spot!
"First of all, you should all know a little about the Treaty of Shanyuan between Song and Liao. Simply put, Liao and Song were brother countries and agreed to maintain peaceful relations. There was no war for a hundred years afterward."
"For example, when there was famine in the border areas of the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would also choose to help them. When Emperor Zhenzong of Song passed away, the Liao emperor and his consorts also cried very sadly."
"In short, this is an alliance. Since it is an alliance, it cannot be broken at will. Although our Song Dynasty is indeed weak, we should at least take a good look at the situation before making a choice."
"But in 1120 AD, the Song and Jin dynasties agreed to jointly destroy the Liao dynasty, and they had already been secretly contacting people from the Jin dynasty two years earlier."
"Don't ask why the Song Dynasty agreed. The answer is that the conditions offered by the Jin Dynasty were too tempting—they gave us the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun!"
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: ...
Empress Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: I don't believe he would really give away so many plots of land!!!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: Anyway, they said they'd give it to us, so how much they give is up to them!
Emperor Zhezong of Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu: So this stupid younger brother fell for their trick! ? ?
Zhu Bajie of the Ming Dynasty: This... this... your younger brother has to bear a lot of responsibility...
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: The Song army's strength was really poor at that time...
……
"Most people believe that the decision for the Song and Jin dynasties to jointly destroy the Liao dynasty was an indirect factor that led to the demise of the Northern Song dynasty. How could the Song dynasty at that time have believed the Jin dynasty's claims?!"
"Then let's discuss this maritime alliance in detail, and how the Song Dynasty fell to that state!"
"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun were a source of great anxiety for the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that Zhao Kuangyin left a will stating that whoever recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun could become a king."
"Although he may have said this to his descendants, Zhu Yuanzhang, who recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, did indeed become emperor later, so it can be considered a success!"
Zhu Yuanzhang (Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty): (?????)!!
"On another note, when the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were at war, Emperor Huizong of Song was observing the situation from the sidelines. In the first year of the Zhenghe era, he sent Tong Guan as an envoy to the Liao Dynasty to probe their strength and weaknesses."
"But halfway there, a scholar from the Liao Kingdom suddenly requested an audience. This man was Ma Zhi, who had facilitated the Song-Jin alliance."
“Ma Zhi was originally from the Liao Dynasty. When he came to see Tong Guan, he claimed that he had come to surrender to the Song Dynasty because he saw that the Liao Dynasty was doomed. He said that he had a strategy to destroy the Liao Dynasty.”
"However, I must say this: it's not wrong to want to take advantage of the situation and attack the Liao Kingdom, but before you do that, you should first assess whether your military strength is sufficient!!!"
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Damn it, I'm impressed! Don't tell him he was weak but tried to mess with others, only to get beaten up in the end!!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Aren't you afraid that if you fight alongside others, they'll realize you're not very strong?
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: ...The Zhao family shouldn't be that stupid, right?! Didn't they win the Battle of Hehuang before?!
The optimist Su Dongpo: ...Luckily, I was already dead by then!!!
……
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han
Liu Che was truly speechless; this damned Emperor Huizong of Song was being beaten up!
What a joke! How could someone like him be the emperor of a country?!
In particular, his sons were also quite useless; one opened the city gate to perform a shamanistic ritual, and the other unjustly killed a military general!
No wonder later generations called the Song Dynasty a weak Song Dynasty. I have never seen such an emperor in all my life!
……
Studio.
Lin Ke continued, "Tong Guan was quite curious when he heard Ma Zhi's words, so the two became acquainted. When Wanyan Aguda established the Jin Dynasty, Ma Zhi thought the opportunity had come!"
A native of Yanjing, eloquent and persuasive, Ma Zhi, seeing the Liao Dynasty's impending doom, desired to pledge allegiance to the Song Dynasty and thus sought to befriend Tong Guan. After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, Ma Zhi felt his opportunity had arrived!
"He even advised the Song Dynasty in his letter: The fall of the Liao Dynasty was inevitable, because Emperor Tianzuo rejected loyal officials, was incompetent and foolish, and caused great suffering to the people..."
When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty saw this letter again, he was greatly surprised and thought that this person was capable and had potential. So he secretly invited him to the capital and received him!
"To put it simply, Ma Zhi was quite eloquent and persuasive, and immediately submitted a memorial to Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji:"
"Why don't we call upon the Jurchens and let them understand our intentions? If we wait until they've already destroyed the Liao, it will be too late!"
"Emperor Huizong of Song, I don't know what he was thinking. Usually, before going to war, one would at least consider whether one is capable or not. On the contrary, he thought this decision was brilliant and agreed to Ma Zhi's suggestion."
