Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The north wind howled and the weather was extremely cold.

Yanjing City is still filled with a strong smell of blood! There were nearly 20,000 Khitans in the inner city, all of whom were slaughtered, and the bloody aura was impossible to dissipate in a short time!

In a small temple in the north of the city, this is where beggars live.

More than a dozen beggars crowded here, some of these beggars were in their fifties or sixties, some were only seven or eight years old, and they were all dressed in rags and skinny.

They hid in the small temple and did not dare to go out at all.

The smell of blood came from outside, and their faces also had terrified expressions.

At this time, the door of the small temple was pushed open, and another beggar broke in.

The beggar was about twenty years old, he was tall and tall, even though he was very thin.

The rest of the beggars were relieved when they saw that it was "one of our own" who had arrived!

"Close the door quickly, it's freezing to death in this weather!" said an old beggar in his sixties.

After the beggar in his twenties closed the door, he sat among the crowd.

"I just went outside to investigate. Do you know what happened today?" said the beggar in his twenties.

"Quickly tell me, we are all terrified! Could it be that those Khitans killed us Han people again? Today, the blood is so bloody, how many people from our clan died at the hands of Khitans?" said the sixty-something beggar. .

"No, no, it's not the Khitans who killed us Han people today, it's us Han people who killed the Khitan people today!" the beggar in his twenties said excitedly.

"What? We Han people kill Khitan people?"

The rest of the beggars in the small temple were stunned! They are all Han Chinese, and they all grew up in Yanyun Sixteen States. Of course they know how humble the status of Han people is in Yanyun Sixteen States! For more than two hundred years, the Han people have formed a habit, and they dare not offend the Khitan people at all! Even when the Jurchens invaded, the Khitans became the slaves of the Jurchens, but the Han people still fear the Khitans! They never dared to imagine that the Han people dared to kill the Khitan people!

"Let me tell you, the emperor of our Han people has come to Yanjing City!" The beggar in his twenties laughed.

"Ah! The emperor of our Han people has come? Is it the emperor of the Song Dynasty?" The rest of the beggars said one after another.

"Isn't it the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! The current Great Song Dynasty is different from before, and the Jurchens are not their opponents! And the Khitan people are not the Jurchens' opponents, they were not the opponents of the Great Song Dynasty! Now Yanyun Sixteen The state is already owned by the Song Dynasty, and it belongs to us Han people! From now on, we Han people are the masters of Yanyun, and we will never be bullied by the Khitan people again!" said the beggar in his twenties.

"I'm afraid not necessarily!" The sixty-year-old beggar shook his head.

"I think it is very likely that the Emperor of Song Dynasty left here shortly after acquiring Yanyun, and gave this place to the Khitan people again!" said another beggar.

"That's right! Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has basically dared not offend the Khitan! Although it occupies the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, as long as the Khitan people resist, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will leave again! At that time, we will also leave Yanyun Yun, return to the Central Plains!" said another beggar.

"By the way, you haven't said what happened today?" the sixty-year-old beggar stopped others and said.

"That's how it happened. Our Han emperor came to Yanjing City and was about to go to the palace. Who would have thought that when he arrived at the inner city, a few Khitan people who didn't have long eyes blocked His Majesty's way! Those Khitan people spoke very badly. After committing the crime of disrespect, His Majesty ordered the inner city to be bloodbathed and killed all the Khitans in the inner city! That's why the bloody smell is so strong tonight." said the beggar in his twenties.

"How is it possible? Bloodbath in the inner city? How many Khitans should there be in there? How dare the emperor of Song Dynasty kill them all?" asked the sixty-something beggar.

"Yes! How could our Han emperor be so cruel? Our Han emperor has always been kind and would not kill people at will! Especially foreigners, such as Khitans and Jurchens, would not Kill them!" One beggar said in disbelief.

"After a few days, you will know for sure whether this matter is true or not! I think our Han emperor really wants to occupy the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and will no longer be polite to the Khitan people!" said the beggar in his twenties. .

The rest of the beggars looked at me and you, with doubtful expressions in their eyes.

*****

In a house several miles away!

This house is not small, with three entrances and three exits, but the inside is also very dilapidated!

At the moment, in the innermost room, there is a dim light, and several Khitan people are sitting under the light.

These Khitan people are all in their twenties and thirties, and their clothes are also very shabby! After the Jurchen invasion, almost all the Khitans were like this!

"Brother Xiao, the Han people have the audacity to wash the inner city with blood!" a Khitan man gritted his teeth.

"I heard that the emperor of the Han people personally gave the order, we must avenge it!" Another Khitan said.

"It's not worth mentioning that the Han people were no match for us Khitan people back then! They haven't defeated us in the past two hundred years! I don't know what kind of shit luck the Han people have had. The Jurchens just happened to fail, so they took advantage of it! The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun belong to our Khitan people, of course we will take it back!" Among these people, a middle-aged man with a determined face said.

He is the leader of this group of Khitan people, his surname is Xiao! Xiao Nai is one of the surnames of Khitan kings! The Khitan emperor's surname is Yelu, and all Khitan empresses are surnamed Xiao! He is a descendant of the Xiao clan, so he has an outstanding status! When Jurchen did not invade, he used to hold an official position in the Liao court, but now, he is just a commoner.

"Brother Xiao, tell me, how should we drive away the Han people?" a Khitan man asked.

"We Khitan people have always looked down on the Han people. As long as someone dares to stand up against the Han people and call on the rest of the tribe to rebuild the Liao Kingdom, the rest of the tribe will definitely support it! There are millions of tribesmen in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. As long as they support us, we will The Han people can be driven away! At that time, I will be the founding emperor, and you are all the heroes of the founding of the country! Tomorrow morning, we will start contacting the clansmen!" The person surnamed Xiao laughed loudly.

"Okay! Let's follow Brother Xiao!"

"By the way, let's kill some Han people tomorrow! The Han people dare to kill us Khitan people, we must kill some Han people to vent our hatred!"

"Yes, it is best to kill all the Han people in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun! Han people, they have been ruled by us for two hundred years, and now they want to stand on our heads, that is courting death! They don't want to be rude See what you are? A group of slaves want to turn themselves into masters?"

Those Khitan people said one after another.

"Very good! I'll do it tomorrow!" Brother Xiao said.

*****

In the early morning of the second day, just as Zhao Chen woke up, the voice of reporting came from outside.

Yu Yunwen, Hu Quan, and Zhang Xian came to the outside of the imperial study together.

"What happened? Why are you all here?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, many Khitans broke into the Han people's homes last night and killed many of our Han people! In addition, two of our soldiers were killed by the Khitans!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Oh? How dare they kill our soldiers?" Zhao Chen said, his eyes turning cold.

"Yes! Moreover, many houses of the Han people were burned down by the Khitan people!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Your Majesty, there are still some things I want to report to you! In fact, things like Yanjing City have happened everywhere in the Sixteen States of Yanyun! Many officials we sent to the Sixteen States of Yanyun were killed by the Khitans. Die, it's just that we haven't been able to find the real culprit!" Hu Quan said.

"Your Majesty, in some places, the Khitans are particularly vicious! In Jizhou, a Khitan named Yeluqing actually entangled thousands of Khitans, and they beat down many villages and towns in the south of Jizhou! In Tanzhou, In just three months, thousands of Han Chinese were killed by Khitan thugs! In Mozhou, half a month ago, more than 10,000 Khitan people took to the streets, trying to storm the Yamen, but fortunately they were blocked! Your Majesty, all of these must Deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise, the Khitan people will become more and more violent, their courage will increase, and more and more people will rebel, and it will be difficult to deal with it!" Zhang Xian said.

"Is Li Xianzhong here?" Zhao Chen suddenly asked another question.

"Your Majesty, we have received news that Li Xianzhong has breached Qi Prefecture and captured Liu Yu alive. Within three days, he should be able to enter Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures." Yu Yunwen said.
