Planning to rewrite a "History of the Ancient City Wall of Huimin", when looking up the information, I found that many reports and articles were implanted with mythical folklore stories: for example, the construction of Dizhou City was to fight against the Jin soldiers going south, the Niu Bao of the Governor of Dizhou City was recommended by the Northern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Kou Zhun and Lü Huiqing, Yang Liulang was stationed in Dizhou, and so on.
............
In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1004 AD), the Liao Shengzong Yelü Longxu and empress dowager Xiao Qi personally led a large army to attack the Song Dynasty. All the way to the siege of the city, straight to the city of Liaozhou (澶州, in modern Puyang, Henan), the Northern Song Dynasty shook.
At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was divided into two factions, one represented by the chancellor Wang Qinruo (who had twice worshiped xiang), who advocated moving the capital to The South and moving the capital to Shengzhou (present-day Nanjing) or Yizhou (present-day Chengdu); and the other faction represented by the chancellor Kou Wei (that is, the folk saying "Kou Zhun")," advocated the battle.
Under the auspices of Prime Minister Kou Wei, the main war faction had the upper hand. Zhao Heng (the third emperor of the Song Dynasty) of the Song Dynasty went out on the expedition himself. At this time, on the front line of the city of Lanzhou, the Song Dynasty defenders shot the Liao general Xiao Tao Rin with a crossbow, and the morale of the Liao army was demoralized.
After Song Zhenzong arrived in Lanzhou, his morale was even more greatly boosted. After months of confrontation across the river, Song decided to negotiate peace with Liao. In 1005, the two countries signed a covenant, known in history as the "Alliance of the Yuanyuan".
The Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty delimited the Baigou River as the boundary line between the two countries, and the two dynasties were not allowed to create cities and pools along the border, set up farms, and carry out commercial exchanges. At the same time, Liao Shengzong called Song Zhenzong "brother", and the Northern Song Dynasty provided 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 silk to the Liao state every year. The song and Liao wars ended with decades-long wars.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > built Dizhou to defend against Liao soldiers invading the Song dynasty</h1>
The Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty had always been worried about the Battle of Liaoyuan in the North, and was even more nervous about the repeated offenders of the Southwest and Western Xia.
In the face of strong enemies, in order to prevent the Liao soldiers from going south again, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty zhao Tuo aimed to build the city of Dizhou in Hebei Province (also known as "Hebei Road", the Northern Song Dynasty had twenty-four roads) to defend against the southern invasion of the Liao army.
At that time, Di Prefecture administered Le'an County, and Le'an County had three main counties: Yici (i.e., Huimin County), Shanghai (Editor's Note: it should be Shanghe), and Yangxin. Dizhou is the throat of the south.
Ming Jiajing's twenty-seven-year "Chronicle of Wuding Prefecture" records:
Gai di prefecture in song as a border town also. Fugu came to Shandong, the place of use, the north of the prefecture, the east of Qing, Deng, Lai three provinces, the west of Youyan, the north to Hai'ao, the mine is no obstacle, the people who go to steal, every time through the base, it is really a key.
Mr. Meng Shujun of Huimin County has long focused on the research of local monuments and traditional culture. In his June 9, 2011 blog post "Niubao Overseers Repairing Dizhou City", he specifically introduced the purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty's construction of Dizhou City:
First, it was for border security and to resist the Liao army's plunder from the south, in order to prevent threatening Gyeonggi from going up the river from the east. Second, at that time, in addition to external troubles, what was even more frightening was internal worry, that is, class contradictions were sharp, peasant uprisings were becoming more and more frequent, and a strong city was built to facilitate the suppression of resistance and consolidation of its rule on the Lubei Plain.
Based on the urgent reasons of the above situation, Emperor Huizong of Song disregarded his vassal Niu Baolai and traveled far away to Laoton, and completed the heavy task of supervising the construction of the new city of Dizhou within a time limit.
The city of Dizhou was mainly to defend against the Liao army moving south. As for the Jin Dynasty, it was not established until the fourth year after the completion of the construction of Dizhou City. After nine years, the construction of Dezhou City was completed. The overseer Niu Bao became ill and died on the way back to Beijing to resume his purpose.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Niu Bao must not have been recommended by Kou Zhun</h1>
According to historical records, Niu Bao was ordered to build the city of Dizhou between the winter of 1101 and the summer of 1102. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had six prime ministers.
In October of the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1100), Emperor Huizong of Song made Han Zhongyan the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of menxia, Zeng Bu the right servant of Shangshu and Zhongshu Shilang, and in July of the first year of Chongning (1102), Feng Caijing was made the right servant of Shangshu and the right servant of Zhongshu Shilang (Zeng Bu was transferred to Shangshu left servant and menxia shilang). These two positions are the prime minister's office.
In November of the first year (1101) of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song made Lu Tuo the title of Shangshu Zuocheng and Wen Yi as Shangshu Right Cheng (尚書右丞); in May of the first year of Chongning (1102), Han Zhongyan was deposed from the post of chancellor, and Xu was made a menxia shilang, Wen Yi was made Zhongshu shilang, Cai Jing was shangshu zuocheng and Zhao Tingzhi was made Shangshu right cheng . These four positions are the deputy positions of prime minister.
Three prime ministers: Han Zhongyan was one of the twenty-four meritorious servants of the Zhaoxun Pavilion; Zeng Bu was the younger brother of the Northern Song Dynasty writer Zeng Gong, an important supporter of Wang Anshi's transformation of the law, although he was not lacking in talent, he was included in the "Biography of the Traitor" in the "History of Song" because he was involved in too many political position battles; Cai Jing was a great traitor, and was called "the head of the six thieves" by posterity.
Look at the three vice-chancellors: Xu Will be a man of both culture and martial arts and honesty; Zhao Tingzhi was an upright man, the father-in-law of Li Qingzhao, a famous female lyricist of the Northern Song Dynasty; and as for Wen Yi, posterity described him as "without a little good deed, good at cunning and cunning, and aiding Cai Jing to restore his position."
If Niu Bao is strongly recommended by the prime minister, it must not be Kou Wei and Lü Huiqing, but between the above six prime ministers.
Kou Zhun died of illness in September of the first year (1023) of the first year (1023) of Emperor Renzong of Song (the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty) in Leizhou (present-day Leizhou, Zhanjiang, Guangdong), and it is impossible to crawl out of the grave and run to the emperor to recommend Niu Bao in 79 years after his death. In 1102, Lü Huiqing was appointed as the emissary of the Wuchang Army and the Zhi Daming Mansion, but he was only a local official far away from the capital.
It is said that Lü Huiqing relied on Wang Anshi's trust all the way to the position of deputy prime minister, and after Wang Anshi left office, he vigorously attacked Wang Anshi and even took it out
Private letters came to slander him, and Wang Anshi later deeply regretted that he had mistakenly believed Lü Huiqing. Therefore, whether it is Zeng Bu or Cai Jing who is the prime minister, he is very disgusted with Lu Huiqing. Character is very important.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Niu Bao is The Ministry of Works Shangshu? Need to be re-examined</h1>
In the Song Dynasty, Shangshu of the Ministry of Works was a high-ranking official who was in charge of the country's tuntian, water conservancy, civil engineering, engineering, transportation, and government-run industries. After going through the "History of Song", there is no name of Niu Bao or Niu Bao.
Some netizens may say: Ming Jiajing's twenty-seven years of "Wuding ZhouZhi" has such a sentence:
In the city of Yizhou, why is the Ministry of Works Shangshuxing?
Personally, I suspect that the ming Dynasty Jiajing edition of the Wuding Zhou Zhi was the author of the Ming Dynasty," and incorporated folk legends into the local chronicles. It may also be exaggerated in order to highlight the geographical importance of Deizhou. After all, it took more than 440 years to record it.
At that time, there were few people who could read and write, and even the ten miles and eight townships were only a few dozen talents, and there were even fewer who could abandon the eight strands and write articles independently. The compilation of the Wuding Prefecture Chronicle will not be so rigorous.
Therefore, whether Niu Bao is a Shangshu of the Ministry of Works is debatable.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Yang Liulang has been stationed in Hebei</h1>
There is also a story in his hometown that Yang Liulang once stationed in Dizhou City and even fought with Jin Bing here. This is, of course, wrong.
The history books record that the dividing line between the Song and Liao dynasties after the "Alliance of The Yuanyuan" was the Baigou River. The south bank of the Baigou River is the location of the "Three Passes" (Waqiao Pass, Yijin Pass and Sikou Pass) in the commentary "Yang Jiajian".
The original site of Waqiao Pass is in the county seat of Xiongxian County in Xiong'an New District, and Yijin Pass and Sikou Pass are also near Xiong'an New District. In 1964, the ancient war road of the Song Dynasty was discovered in Xiong County. In 1988, the neighboring County of Yongqing in Hebei Province also discovered ancient tunnels of the Song Dynasty.
As a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty who undertook the heavy responsibility of resisting the Liao, Yang Yanzhao was the head of the local border defense army and guarded the area for nine years. His real name was Yang Yanlang, known as "Yang Liulang", and he was a native of Taiyuan (present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi).
Yang Yanzhao had courage and strategy, and had always been valued by Emperor Zhenzong of Song and Kou Wei and other monarchs. During the peace negotiations with the Liao State, Emperor Zhenzong of Song selected officials guarding the border states, directly appointed Yang Yanzhao as the inspector of Baozhou Zhizhou and the border capital, and personally hired him to the chancellor. Yang Yanzhao was later promoted to the post of Defense Envoy of Baozhou, and was soon transferred to the deputy capital of Gaoyangguan, where he died at the age of 57. Capable people will still get valued.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the year of the construction of Dezhou City, a lot happened</h1>
In 1102, a lot actually happened between the Song and Liao countries.
As the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Tuo had a fairly high artistic attainment. But he coveted enjoyment, embraced Taoism, and called himself "Emperor Daojun".
In 1102 AD, in March of the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guan, set up a bureau of craftsmanship in Suzhou and Hangzhou, collecting a large number of rare and valuable raw materials such as animal teeth, horns, rhinoceros and plant bamboo, wood vines and gold and silver jade, and ordering various craftsmen to make various exquisite craft crystals into the palace. Thousands of craftsmen are used every day, and the cost of raw materials used is forcibly levied on the people, which greatly increases the burden on the people of the southeast.
In July of the same year, the Northern Song Dynasty set up municipal offices in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Hangzhou, Mizhou and other places to manage foreign trade, collect taxes, purchase special purchases from the imperial court and manage foreign businessmen.
In September, Emperor Huizong convicted 120 ministers (including Sima Guang, Fan Chunren, Han Wei, Su Rui, Su Shi, Fan Zuyu, Chao Zhizhi, Huang Tingjian, and other song courtiers) who opposed the new law and had exaggerated words and deeds in the Yuan Fu, and called them traitors. Zhao Tuo even personally wrote his name, carved it on the stone, and erected it on the Duanli Gate, calling it the "Yuanyou Party Monument".
It was also this year that liang hongyu, the hero of the Song Dynasty, was born.
The Liao state, which confronted the Northern Song Dynasty, was also not happy.
In 1102, the Liao general Xiao Haili rebelled and looted the southwest arsenal of Qianzhou (present-day Beizhen, Liaoning). Emperor Yelü Yanxi of Liao tianzuo was furious and sent Lin Yahao's slaves to quell the rebellion. He also ordered the Jurchen tribes under his command to assist, and gave the leader Yingge (also known as "Yang Cut") more than a thousand pairs of armor to recruit troops. The Jurchen Yingge clan fought bravely, and its Yan Aku defeated Xiao Haili with a swinging army.
After this battle, the Jurchens found out the details of the Liao army, laid the groundwork for the destruction of the Liao, and also opened the prelude to the Jin Dynasty's destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty. Twenty-five years later, in the second year of Jingkang (1127), the Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchens entered the city of Bieliang in Tokyo (present-day Kaifeng) and captured Hui Qin Erzong, known in history as the "Change of Jingkang", and the Northern Song Dynasty fell.
