People often say that any character has always been divided into a historical dimension and a folk dimension, and the more representative is that many figures in the Three Kingdoms are often inconsistent with the historical image and the folk image, and the gap is extremely large.
The reason for this phenomenon is that after the popularity of folk novels, some people do not have enough understanding of history, or for the needs of the story, so they mix too many private goods in the novel and reshape the characters.
In fact, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still a relatively good phenomenon, because no matter how distorted, these characters still have a conclusive evaluation. However, there are some historical figures whose heads have been changed, for example, a person named Hu Yanqing is like this, he is a good friend in the novel, such as Bao Zheng, but in history he can be called a national sinner.
Speaking of Hu Yanqing, some people of the younger generation may not be familiar with him, but the older generation must have heard of his name. At that time, everyone liked to listen to the commentaries, and Mr. Shushu often told folk historical stories, in their mouths, Hu Yanqing's origin was incredible, because he was the descendant of Hu Yanzan, the famous founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty.
As a descendant of the founding star, this aura is really too dazzling, so as soon as the story opens, he is included in the category of the protagonist, and his body is still golden.
Not only that, in the novel, Hu Yanqing lived in the song Renzong period, their family was killed by the famous Pang Taishi, so in order to take revenge, but also to defend the country, Hu Yanqing met many friends, the most famous of which is Bao Zheng Bao Longtu, and then befriended the Yang family general, everyone together became the most important backbone against Pang Taishi.
In the process of this struggle, Hu Yanqing became a good boy who could write and fight martial arts, and together with the Yang family, he fought against foreign invasions and became a real hot-blooded boy. The ending is even more admirable, Hu Yanqing and Yang Jiajian and others united to finally overthrow Pang Taishi and kill him, and everyone together performed a story of evil and evil.
Therefore, according to the content of the novel, Hu Yanqing is definitely a good person, and a good general who defends his family and the country, and he is even named the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety. It has to be said that the labels of Yang Jiajian, Bao Gong, and King Zhongxiao have added too much aura to Hu Yanqing, so that when the older generation mentions him, they feel that this person is a national hero and a true messenger of justice.
But what kind of person is Hu Yanqing in the real situation? Objectively speaking, there are many in the novel or relatively true, historically Hu Yanqing has been very good since he was a child, first of all, he is from a military family, so the martial arts are very high, it is said that the personal force value is no problem to beat more than a dozen people. But it was such a powerful martial art, but he also specialized in literature, and in addition to specializing in literature, he also studied foreign Chinese.
The History of the Song Dynasty records that Hu Yanqing was able to speak eloquently and knew how to speak Chinese, and was a proper diplomatic seedling of the Song Dynasty and a seedling of military cadres.
But it was such a good young man who was involved in a negotiation that he should not have been involved in. According to historical records, at that time, the Jin people had risen, and they were defeating the Liao state one by one, and they saw that the Liao state was about to end.
Faced with such a situation, although the emperor of the Song Dynasty was stupid, he did not lose his brain, so he decided to send a diplomat to contact the Jurchens to see what they were doing and whether the Song Dynasty could benefit from them.
Obviously, if you want to contact the Jinguo people, you must go from the sea, but at that time, the navigation conditions were limited, and it was into an unfamiliar environment, so many people could not take on heavy responsibilities. The emperor picked and chose, and finally selected the excellent Hu Yanqing, asking him to lead the people to serve as emissaries of the Song Dynasty to contact Jurchen.
In the process, they did encounter various setbacks, and it was not easy to contact the Jurchens, but as soon as they came into contact with them, they were robbed, and no one was saved. When he was frantically tortured by the other party, Hu Yanqing finally relied on his excellent foreign language talent to actually connect with the other party, indicating in time that he was an emissary of the Song Dynasty and wanted to meet with Yan Aku.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the conflict was immediately resolved, and the Jurchens expressed their willingness to combine with the Song Dynasty, hoping to schedule a time for another joint as soon as possible.
As a result, Hu Yanqing returned from the Jurchen tribe with difficulty, and the news he brought to the Song Dynasty was also highly recognized by the emperor. If it is only for this period of time, then Hu Yanqing is still a good person, after all, he can bear the humiliation and burden to complete the state's entrustment.
However, his second mission went a big problem, it turned out that the Song Dynasty was determined to contact the Jurchens, but the Emperor heard that the Jurchens and the Liao people seemed to be negotiating, so the Emperor was very dissatisfied with this, and made some unreasonable moves after sending the emissaries.
But what is more interesting is that although Hu Yanqing is in a disadvantageous position and looks like he wants to provoke the boss of the other side, he has put forward a bold idea, that is, the Song Dynasty and the cooperation with the real people, everyone will kill the Liao state together.
It was under his efforts and mediation that everyone finally laid a preliminary understanding that the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty jointly sent troops to destroy the Liao State, and then the Song Dynasty could obtain the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. This event has historically been called the Alliance of the Seas.
However, when negotiating, there has always been a lot of ambiguity between the two sides about the price and specific terms. When this person negotiated, the price fluctuated so much that the Song Dynasty paid a hundred times the price, and the result was only to obtain a few empty cities.
What is even more exaggerated is that when discussing the delivery of Youyun 16 States, the two sides fell into a dilemma during negotiations, and the Jurchens played tricks, obviously a defense system along the Great Wall, and as a result, people gave several cities and pools, purely playing the envoys of the Song Dynasty as monkeys.
But under such circumstances, Hu Yanqing still promoted the alliance on the sea. After that, we all know the history, the Song Dynasty was fiercely tricked by the Jurchens, paid a high price, but did not get the actual Great Wall defense line, and all the people here were snatched away by the Jurchens.
After that, the Song Dynasty sent troops to grab the territory, but it was beaten by the Liao people and lost their armor, which directly exposed the fragility of the Song Dynasty. As a result, the Jurchens actually fought the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, which eventually led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, scholars generally believe that the alliance on the sea was the direct cause of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the success of the alliance on the sea, as well as many loopholes in the process of this covenant, the loyal and filial king Hu Yanqing in the novel has an unshirkable responsibility.
