Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 481 Five Kingdoms Castle 1

At the moment, two thousand miles north of Yinzhou, there are mountains everywhere!

The Central Plains has just entered autumn, but here it has entered late autumn, the leaves have turned yellow, and the weather is very cold in the morning and evening.

It was already noon, and the sun shone into the forest, and the forest became warmer.

At this moment, there is a team of thousands of people moving forward in the mountains and forests.

They were wearing the military uniforms of the Song Army, probably because of the long journey, everyone looked dusty!

A young general was walking in front of the army. He kept looking into the distance and looking for the way. Behind him was a middle-aged Taoist priest.

The middle-aged Taoist priest's sleeves fluttered, and he seemed to be out of the dust when he walked.

"The environment in the north is really different from that in the Central Plains! The species here are strange, and many things are not found in the Central Plains! Also, the beasts here are also very different from those in the Central Plains! The tigers here are much more ferocious than those in the Central Plains! "The sun shone on the face of the middle-aged Taoist, and the middle-aged Taoist let out a long laugh and said.

"In the future, this place will also belong to our Great Song Dynasty!" said the young general in front.

"It's been a month since we left Yanyun. I don't know how the court is preparing now?" the middle-aged Taoist said.

"It will take a lot of time to transport food from Sichuan, Shu, Guan and Shaanxi to Yanyun and Datong! However, the imperial court has been preparing, and it should be almost ready now! It's just that the imperial court may have to wait for a while." The young general said .

"General, what are you waiting for?" asked a soldier next to him.

"Waiting for the great chaos in Liaodong! Your Majesty sent Wang Gui, Yeluhong and others into the Liaodong area in order to disrupt the situation in Liaodong! When the Liaodong is in chaos, the imperial army will enter the north again. It will be much easier to destroy Jinhui that way! Moreover, the court will also We have to wait for us to rescue the Supreme Emperor! Now that the Supreme Emperor is in the hands of the Jurchens, the Jurchens are likely to use this to threaten His Majesty and the court, which is very detrimental to us!" said the young general.

"How far is it from the Five Kingdoms City?" the middle-aged Taoist asked.

"It's only about five or six hundred miles away! But we are walking in the mountains. No one has ever been here before. The road is difficult, so we may need several days!" The young general said.

"I don't know if the mountain here has a name?" a soldier asked.

"No one comes here, where did the name come from? Keep going south, and Changbai Mountain is more than a thousand miles away. Where is the birthplace of the Jurchens!" the young general said.

This place is probably located on the border of Russia in later generations. In ancient times, it belonged to the most desolate place in China. In this era, even the Khitans and Jurchens rarely came here. As for the mountains here, they naturally don’t have any names.

The army keeps marching forward, and there are soldiers exploring the way in front. They open roads every mountain and build bridges every river!

Soldiers in the army carry food with them, but they have been walking for many days, and they are running out of food! Fortunately, the mountains are rich in products, and there are a lot of wild animals! Just yesterday they killed two Siberian tigers, more than a dozen wild deer, countless roe deer and other small beasts! Plus, wild berries are everywhere, and now is the time for wild berries!

"The Supreme Emperor has been imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City for seven years and has been tortured for seven years. I don't know how he is doing now?" asked a school lieutenant accompanying the army.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to save the Supreme Emperor! After the Emperor Daojun returned from the north, he still wanted to seize the government. Of course, he was wishful thinking, but after this matter was spread, the entire army was very dissatisfied! General Wan only recognizes His Majesty, and will never recognize the Supreme Emperor! Now we are going to rescue Emperor Jingkang, who knows what will happen to Emperor Jingkang when he returns?" The young general hesitated for a while, but he still spoke.

"Whether it is Emperor Daojun or Emperor Jingkang, their era has passed! Now in the court, all the ministers are His Majesty's confidantes, and all the generals in the army are also appointed by His Majesty! Only His Majesty! Under such circumstances, Emperor Daojun and Emperor Jingkang can only feel at ease as their overlords, and they will not be able to do anything in the future." The middle-aged Taoist said with a smile.

"The Taoist priest is right! The reason why your Majesty wants to help the Supreme Emperor is because of the kindness in your heart! Your Majesty is a model of martial arts, benevolence, righteousness and wisdom! It is under the leadership of His Majesty that our Great Song Dynasty can flourish! Wait until the Supreme Emperor returns. Afterwards, it must be time for Your Majesty to march into the Jurchen! After the Jurchen is eliminated, we will destroy the rest of the barbarians and take back all the homeland!" The young general also knew that what he said just now was a bit rash, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said .

"General, do we still have our homeland?" Several soldiers next to us showed surprised expressions on their faces when they heard this.

"Of course there is still the homeland that has not been recovered! Annan! That is the territory of our Han people, and it must be taken back!" the young general said.

Annan is where the Vietnam of future generations is located!

In the third century BC, Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains, and then Qin Shihuang sent 500,000 troops to conquer Baiyue in the south!

And Baiyue includes most of Guangdong, Guangxi, and most of Vietnam in later generations!

After the death of Qin Shihuang, Qin II ascended the throne, and the world was in chaos! At that time, the guards of the Qin Dynasty in Baiyue knew that there was nothing they could do, so they closed all the passes and established the Nanyue Kingdom in the south of Lingnan, calling themselves "Nanyue Martial King"!

When the Han Dynasty was established, Zhao Tuo became a vassal of the Han Dynasty, and the Nanyue Kingdom became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty! By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent more than 100,000 troops to the south to completely conquer South Vietnam and establish Jiaozhou in South Vietnam! Jiaozhou is the southernmost territory of the Han Dynasty. Jiaozhou established nine counties to rule the future generations of Guangdong, Guangxi, and most of Vietnam!

After all dynasties, Vietnam has been part of China! In the Tang Dynasty, the Han army stationed here was where the Annan Hudu Mansion was located, so it was also called Annan!

Until the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in chaos, and local forces in various places established themselves one after another. There were countless countries such as Hou Han, Hou Shu, and Hou Zhou, and Vietnam also took the opportunity to break away from the Central Plains!

When the Song Dynasty was established, its force was far inferior to that of previous dynasties, and it was simply unable to take back Vietnam! So starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, Vietnam is no longer a part of China, but has become a vassal state of China!

But in the hearts of many Song people, it is still the homeland of China!

"That's right, we want to take back Annan! The Tang Dynasty garrisoned troops there, and we want to garrison there too! All Chinese is used there, and there are imperial examinations. Everything is exactly the same as in China. We will never allow it to dare to establish a country on our own!" The captain said.

"It's to take Annan back!" The soldier next to him nodded.

"Actually, besides Annan, we also want to take down Koryo, Dongying and other places! The imperial court has deliberately made Yanjing the official capital. How can others sleep peacefully beside the couch? Koryo and Dongying are too close to Yanjing city. If it invades from the sea, it will pose a great threat to the court, so these places must be completely recovered! In the next few years, our navy may not be able to relax!" The young general laughed.

"It's great to be able to fight!" The soldiers around were very excited.

When Zhao Chen was in Guanshan and Hanzhong, he began to promote the Communist Party to encourage foreign expansion. The country's politics, economy, and culture were all tilted towards war. Except for a little calm last year, the army has hardly stopped over the years! Now that they can continue to fight, they are only happy in their hearts!

The middle-aged Taoist priest followed behind the soldiers, but he was secretly sighing in his heart! However, the larger Song's territory, the easier it is for him to preach!

"At least there will be no more wars in the Central Plains! Although Chen'er is expanding abroad, he is not blindly militarizing. The Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Yanyun will become more and more prosperous. My Great Song Dynasty is truly in full swing, and the national fortune is endless!" The middle-aged Taoist secretly said.

The army was marching very fast, but it was getting dark very early in the mountains. At this time, the mountains were extremely dangerous. The army finally stopped and rested here. When the sky was dark the next day, they started marching again.

*** ***

The Five Kingdoms City is a small city in the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Jin!

This place is unusually remote and desolate. There are desolate forests everywhere around the Five Kingdoms City. To the north of the Five Kingdoms City are layers of mountains. To the west of the Five Kingdoms City is the grassland!

Even Jurchens rarely come here!

The area here is very small, the circumference of the city is only two kilometers, and the height of the city wall is only three meters! This place is much smaller than the original Kaifeng Palace, and far worse than the Yanjing Palace!

There are low thatched huts everywhere here, which were used to imprison some monarchs and ministers from the Northern Song Dynasty!

In the innermost thatched hut, a pale middle-aged man was lying there.

He looked very thin, almost skin and bones.

The room was very cold, and he didn't have a quilt, just covered with hay.

The door was pushed open, and an equally thin young man entered the room.

"Father!" The young man knelt down in front of the middle-aged man's bed, holding a wooden plate.

"It's San'er!" The middle-aged man opened his eyes, glanced at the young man, and nodded.

"Father, the Jurchens rewarded you with some steamed buns in the morning, and we will save them for you to eat!" the young man said.

There were three steamed buns on the plate, and each steamed bun was as big as a child's fist. Besides the steamed buns, there was also a bowl of hot water!

Seeing the steamed buns and hot water, the middle-aged man's throat moved, he struggled to get up, with a smile on his face, and said: "I want to eat, it seems that my illness is about to recover!"

"Father, hurry up and use it!" the young man said.

"Okay!" The middle-aged man grabbed the steamed buns and began to gobble them up, taking a sip of hot water from time to time, and for a moment he felt his whole body was full of strength.

The young man next to him watched the middle-aged man munching on steamed buns, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. In Wuguocheng, it is very difficult for Han people to eat a bite of steamed buns made of white flour. Young people can’t remember the last time they ate steamed buns.

"Father, the Jurchen said that you have been lying down for three days, and he will not let you continue to lie down. He asked you to follow us to reclaim the land later." After the middle-aged man finished eating, the young man said.

"Oh, I understand, let's go!" The middle-aged man struggled to get off the bed, feeling a little dizzy, the young man hurriedly supported him, and the two headed outside together.
