Volume 1 Dusty North Country (5)
In any case, it is definitely not Chen Tuo's habit to sit and wait for death. Even if he dies, it is better than being trapped in the northern country for decades and then tragically killed his horse. Although the group of young men in front of him are young and naive, if they are used, they are much more useful than a group of shameless, unvirtuous and courageous officials.
Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement.
Such a powerful language has been forgotten by the literati group and the noble royal family in this era. In this small five-country city, Chen Tuo originally saw decadent, panic, fear, fear and timidity. The so-called generals of the entire civil servant group were all weak and extremely depressed. Even if the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, they still only wanted to live a life of silence. In addition to revenge and dissatisfaction with their own situation, they had no reflection or regret for their past political and military mistakes.
It is only in these young men that Chen Tuo can see a glimmer of hope.
A few days later, the game of Shangjing was about to be held. Several groups of envoys came, but Chen Tuo was no better than the real Qinzong Zhao Heng. When he heard that the Jin people were summoned, he was so scared that he was shocked. He knew that the trip was not dangerous, so he immediately selected a group of servants and guards and decided to set off for the Jin Dynasty Shangjing.
He didn't care, but Zhao Ji and the ministers of the Song Dynasty were like losing their parents, fearing that the Jin people would make things difficult for him. Chen Tuo once was like a meat bun and beating a dog, and it would be difficult to return.
Zhao Ji was not convenient for him to come to see him off, so he issued orders to see him off in the five kingdoms city. In this way, more than a thousand people stood in front of the short Tucheng gate of the Five Kingdoms City to see him off.
Seeing that there were not many serious guards around Chen Tuo, only a group of more than ten young men surrounded Chen Tuo on the horse, everyone frowned and shook their heads, feeling that the emperor was too careless about his own safety.
Chen Tuo knew what everyone thought, and smiled and said, "Along the way, there were all Jin people's hinterlands. There were border troops stationed along the northern border. With the protection of Yimouke's Jin soldiers, I was safe regardless of the number of people around me."
The kings and ministers also knew that what he said was reasonable, but they were uneasy in their minds and still looked panic.
These people were all captured when the city of Tokyo was destroyed. They saw the cruelty and strength of the Jurchen soldiers with their own eyes. When they thought that the emperor was forced to be summoned to Shangjing, they were trapped in a group of barbarians full of stinky bodies. It made people feel scared when they thought about it.
Some of them were indeed worried about the safety of Chen Tuo, and a considerable number of them were just worried that Chen Tuo would be careless and anger the Jurchen nobles and implicate everyone. In addition, there were more than a hundred Jin soldiers guarding him around Chen Tuo, all of them were fierce and fierce. They looked at their ministers from time to time, which made them frightened and dared not look at them.
Chen Tuo smiled bitterly, feeling that the group of ministers of the Song Dynasty in front of him were no different from a group of sheep. In fact, less than two hundred years ago, even when the Tang Dynasty was about to set sun and was sick, any military governor in a strong town could ride a horse and whip it, and promote his power in a foreign barbarian country, as if he had entered a no-man.
A flock of sheep led by a lion and a flock of lions led by sheep are judged at the highest level and strength.
Chen Tuo sighed and said to himself: "Zhao Kuangyin, you have ruined my China for hundreds of years for the benefit of your family!"
His current identity is Zhao Heng, but he is not psychologically psychologically. He has no respect for the founding emperor of the Zhao family. He is a Chinese who knows that after the Han and Tang Dynasties, China began to weaken from the Song Dynasty. In the Tanyuan alliance, there was a saying that China gave annual tribute to barbarians. After Jingkang, there were precedents of the Central Plains dynasty claiming to be a minister and nephew, and killing meritorious officials for peace. All kinds of shame still make people sigh after thousands of years.
In the past, I read history only in books, which makes people hate it. But the situation in the book is just like this, and the taste here really makes Chen Tuo wonder how to react.
He did not want to look at the situation in front of him, and then looked at the young man who was guarding him. Although his body was not as strong as an adult, his temperament was strong and confident. He couldn't help but be happy, so he ordered Zongji: "Zhongji, open the way forward, let's set off now."
He turned his head to the ministers and said, "I will definitely have nothing to do when I go here, so please go back."
After saying that, he ignored everyone and just waited for the front team to move forward, then controlled the reins and followed closely.
He gradually went farther, but he could not hear the comments from the ministers. Before, Zhao Heng was weak and afraid of things, and he could not ride a horse. Therefore, he went north thousands of miles away and could only ride a donkey on a car. How could he be so stern and strong, and he rode a horse with a calm expression on Xiongjun's war horse.
Everyone's hearts are different, and they can't help but discuss, but they can't explain it correctly. When the sun spreads far away, they will scatter like birds and beasts.
The city of Five Kingdoms was surrounded by Hei River, which was the bank of Heilongjiang River in later generations, and was only more than 500 miles away from Huining Prefecture, the Jin Kingdom. At that time, the Jin Kingdom was initially determined, and the local government was still in the same system and ruled in the form of tribes. In all parts of Yanjing, the Han people and the Khitans set up states and prefectures in the form of farming and settlement, building roads and intersecting fields. Although they were a little behind the Song Dynasty, they were also similar in structure. However, in this former Jin Kingdom, nomadic hunting was still the main production and lifestyle, with simple living and roads not built. The conditions were so difficult that the Jin soldiers who led the team knew that the southern emperor was weak and took care of them. They could rest after walking dozens of miles a day.
Chen Tuo was originally strong, but the body he was living in was too weak. He has been trying to strengthen his exercise these days, but after a little bump on the horse's back, he was still exhausted.
On the other hand, although most of the squad guards in front of him were underage, they were all fierce and did not take this journey into consideration. The Song people did this, let alone those Jurchen soldiers who had been on horseback since childhood. He felt ashamed, but in turn urged the Jin people to go on a hurry. The team leader could not resist him, so he strengthened for 10 or 20 miles a day, and then he rested after Chen Tuo could not bear it.
In this way, these Jin people were taught to respect each other, thinking: "It turns out that the Southern Emperor is not useless."
Everyone ran until late on this day, but missed Guantou. Looking at it, there was no ranch around, let alone the official reception. The leader of the team, Muke Hu Shahu, said to Chen Tuo: "I can't do it today, so I have to camp here, and I feel wronged by the emperor."
In his status, there is actually no need to explain to Chen Tuo at all. But these days, the two of them are close together. Chen Tuo is generous and generous, determined, but it makes Hu Shahu admire him very much. He has vaguely regarded Chen Tuo as a friend. Although the Jurchens are cruel, they are straightforward. Once they appreciate each other, they will be polite and polite everywhere. The Jurchen soldiers in this team are all polite to the Song people, unlike the soldiers of other teams, who either beat or scold ordinary Song people.
Chen Tuo set up a pergola and looked around from a distance, but he saw the sky and the vast wilderness. Not only did he see no figures, but he could not see half of the cattle and sheep. Wherever he saw the eyes, there were only the setting sun and the setting sun, and the dead grass and loess were vast.
He smiled at Hu Shahu and said, "It was actually my fault. I just wanted to travel more than twenty miles. I would have known that I would have rested in the tribe just now."
He knew that the Jurchens were straightforward and hated red tape the most, so when he talked to Hu Shahu, he even saved the word "I".
Hu Shahu didn't care, so he jumped on his horse, frowned and ordered the Jin soldiers to dismount, cut wood into piles, set up camp tents, and made fires and water to prepare supper.
While busy, he smiled at Chen Tuo, who was rubbing his shoulders and pinching his legs, and said, "Emperor, don't be polite to me. You people from Central Plains are like this, and they have too many etiquettes."
Chen Tuo also smiled and said, "It's not a big deal about the etiquette. This is what we say in the south. Although etiquette is complicated, it is a need for the monarch. Otherwise, there will be no superiors and inferiors, which is amazing."
He just said casually, but Hu Shahu sighed: "That's right. When our Taizu attacked Zhongjing and won the Great Liao world, he still had to discuss with the ministers. Everyone gathered together and sat together, with no distance between the upper and lower parts, and said whatever they wanted."
He patted his legs and shouted, "Hey, that's so good! But later Emperor Taizong got Yanjing and grabbed the yellow umbrella cover of the dog emperor of Liao Kingdom, and guarded the ceremonial guard. The rules suddenly changed. When we meet Taizong, we have to bow and worship, and even the children of the Wanyan family of the royal family are the same. It seems that they are much more accomplice. I think, what are the benefits of being bullied? Apart from teaching people not to accept it in their stomachs!"
Chen Tuo saw that he was full of anger and didn't say anything. He thought for a moment, but walked to Hu Shahu and whispered: "The general needs to be more careful when speaking."
Seeing Hu Shahu staring at him, he advised: "I know the general is a hero, but there are many villains in the world, so why bother to cause trouble for themselves?"
He first praised and then advised the barbarian general, but made the barbarian general feel extremely comfortable. In fact, Hu Shahu was a very old man, and he started a war with Wanyan Aguda, but only did this little trick, which was because he was too little scheming and talked too much. He knew his own faults, and Chen Tuo woke up with a word, but he also knew that there were many taboos in his words just now, so he also slapped the soldiers who were listening and scolded, "Don't you get out of here, why are you doing here?"
In this way, he inherited a little favor from Chen Tuo. Hu Shahu was so rough that he said, "The emperor is here, I will take a few people to shoot some wild animals and let the emperor play the tooth sacrifice!"
Chen Tuo was blocked by the treatment of the emperor, but he had already gotten on his horse, shouting a few personal soldiers and went with bows and arrows. At that time, the Jurchens were very crude in eating, drinking and drinking. They put fat slices on coarse rice, which was a good delicacy. Chen Tuo has been so cruel these days, but he was just watching him go, but it was fine.
