Song Taizu loves and hates the generals, like a ruthless lover, both yearning for day and night defense. Because of deliberate suppression, the Great Song generals can afford to take it and put it down, and there are not many who resist fighting, and famous generals are even rarer. Their absence is not only due to the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, but also related to the collective loss of voice. Because of their inaction, I don't know how many generals fought bloody battles to defend their families and defend the country, but they were buried by the dust and sand of history and are unknown.
Speaking of the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, I stood behind the melon-eating masses, and shouted "Yang Jiajun" and "Yuejia Army" with them.
When I grew up and looked at history, I realized that in addition to them, the Northern Song Dynasty also had a more important armed force, like a great wall of flesh and blood standing on the border of the northwest, fulfilling its duties without fear of sacrifice, and watching for peace and tranquility for a dynasty. It is like an abandoned Great Wall, annihilated by history and even forgotten.
This team is called the Seed Army, and history and we all owe this family a big thumbs up. Looking at the wolf in the northwest, the person who shot the wolf is called Chong Shiheng, the founder of the Seed Army. Chong Shiheng's ancestral home is Luoyang, moved to Xi'an, his grandfather, father, and uncle are all Jinshi, his father died early, and Chong Shiheng followed his uncle Chongfang. It was a great Confucianism in the Song Zhenzong dynasty.
As an adult, Chong Shiheng was taken care of in the system by virtue of his uncle's fame, from a clerk to a deputy section of Fengxian County, and was calculated by the old Wang next door and exiled to Douzhou and then to Ruzhou. There are many good brothers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they are counted as one. He wrote to the imperial court that he was willing to redeem one of his official positions for the punishment of his brother, so that Shiheng did not reach a place with worse conditions. Of course, the kind colleagues are also helping Chong Shiheng expose the evil deeds of the old king next door, seek justice for him and pull him back into the system.
Standing at the trough of fate, Chong Shiheng, who was gazed at by the abyss, looked to the future and the sea of stars. In the grassroots border area, the nuisance of Western Xia has never stopped, so that the Northern Song Dynasty ** who does not want to be afraid of war is a headache, Chong Shiheng is in the northwest frontier, after investigation and research, he wrote to the imperial court to strengthen the military preparedness of the northwest, and build a city in the northeast of Yan'an 200 miles to form a barrier against Western Xia.
Chong Shiheng's suggestion was supported by the imperial court, who instructed him to take charge of building the new city. The Western Xia people saw the strategic intention of the Song army to repair the city, and constantly disturbed and destroyed, Chong Shiheng held a sword in one hand and a brick knife in the other, fighting and building at the same time.
The city was repaired, but there was no water source, so Chong Shiheng led the masonry to dig 150 meters into the ground, but there was still no water. Chong Shiheng ordered to dig deeper, and rewarded 100 yuan for each basket of gravel dug up. The hard work paid off, and the new city finally used mineral water. This new city was named "Qingjian City" by the imperial court. Chong Shiheng was the first mayor of Qingjian City.
With a city, there must be a city, Qingjian City began to attract investment, the introduction of various incentive policies, including rent reduction, interest-free loans to self-employed people, Qingjian City business booming. Without agriculture and instability, Chong Shiheng led the troops to actively carry out a large-scale production campaign, reclaiming 2,000 acres of campland, which is the right to use the land and the benefits owned by the troops.
In addition to Western Xia, Qingjian City is also neighbors with the Tibetan and Qiang people. Good neighborliness and friendship are a game of chess, and we treat each other sincerely as brothers. There is a family of cattle in the Tibetan department, and the leader is called Nu Yan, who is as stubborn as an ox. Chong Shiheng took the initiative to make friends with the slave, with a smile and sincerity, and the slave was moved to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet Chong Shiheng.
Chong Shiheng and the slave drank in a big bowl, the more they drank, the happier they became, seeing that it was getting late, Chong Shiheng had to comply with the regulations and return to Qingjian City. The slave sent one ride after another, and the reluctance was similar to the lover in the previous life. In the end, the two agreed that the next day, Chong Shiheng would visit the slave again with condolence materials.
It snowed heavily at night, and the next day the door was closed by heavy snow, and the snow on the border was three feet thick. Chong Shiheng wanted to visit the slave, and his subordinates said that the snow was too thick to walk, and he would go again when the snow melted. Chong Shiheng said that honesty is the most important thing, I will go.
The slave was sleeping, and came to report that Shiheng had arrived with condolences. The slave dropped his jaw in shock, ran out and hugged Chong Shiheng, about brothers. The slave said that in the future, you will be my brother, you point to the east and I will not fight the west, you tell me to beat dogs, I will not fight chickens. We have been friendly for generations, and we will always be together.
Brothers are like siblings, and women are clothes. In order to do a good job in diplomacy, Chong Shiheng is also quite hard. The most powerful of the Qiang tribe is Muen, who captures the thief and captures the king first, and the soldier who surrenders Shiheng without a fight. He invited Munn to Qingjian City to drink, and while drinking, he summoned the singer to sing and dance to cheer up, and the singer was empathetic and diligently persuaded to drink, and Munn was also drunk.
Chong Shiheng got up and left the room, and Mu En grabbed the wine from the singer's little hand, and he himself didn't know when the singer poured it into his arms. The two of them were talking to me and me, and Chong Shiheng pushed the door in. Mu En was a little embarrassed, but Chong Shiheng was not embarrassed, he smiled and said You and I are good brothers, you don't have to be polite. Since you like this woman so much, bring him back tonight. Mu En didn't know that Chong Shiheng got up and left and had been standing in front of the window next door, so the interaction between him and the little beauty could be seen clearly.
The little beauty conquered Muen with a peaceful mission and conquered the entire Qiang tribe. More and more leaders of other Qiang tribes came to Chong Shiheng to drink, and those who came from Chong Shiheng did not refuse, and everyone gave them a "dress".
There was a man named Wu Er who didn't like "clothes", and Chong Shiheng asked him to drink, but he refused very happily. Mu En didn't say a word and killed Wu Er, put on a show without pomp, and directly mixed up to the shame. Since then, more than 100 tribes of the Qiang nationality have established a joint defense mechanism for the Great Song Dynasty, once the enemy situation is discovered, they will light a beacon fire to give an alarm, and then unite to deal with those who offend our Chinese, although they are far away, they will be punished.
It's better not to do work than not to do it, the most hateful is to make trouble, Lao Wang, the evil colleague next door in the early years, turned into a subordinate Lao Li, and reported Chong Shiheng's private use of public weapons and other crimes, there is a picture and the truth. The imperial court is ready to punish Chong Shiheng, and his superior, the minister Pang Ji, played: If you don't ask the blame at every turn, who will serve the court. After punishing Shiheng, who will guard the border city? In this way, the seed Shiheng was protected.
Soon, Chong Shiheng was promoted and transferred to Huanzhou Renzhizhou, he resigned to Pang Ji, and was very moved: thanks to Pang Gong, Shiheng has always been hard-hearted, and he couldn't help crying when he left Pang Gong. How can there be no grievances in life, the luckiest thing is to meet a person who can tolerate and understand, and give you spring-like trust and warmth in the cold air on all sides.
In the new position and a broader platform, the dream of strengthening the army and setting sail for a new journey.
