In the early morning, it was just dawn and the sun had not yet risen.
The temperature outside seems to have dropped to freezing point, and the world is filled with a chilling air!
Except for some pine trees, the leaves of other poplar, willow, elm, and birch trees have basically fallen off.
Feng Jiuxiao stood in front of the window, looking at the late autumn scenery outside.
Pedestrians outside have begun to spray white air from their mouths when breathing. Especially the white air sprayed by the passing mules and horses is thick and long, which is spectacular!
This is a sign that winter is about to enter. Feng Jiuxiao looked at the white clouds in the sky like fish scales, and her mind wandered thousands of miles away.
"I wonder what the Khitans were doing with their sudden withdrawal. Is it just to reduce casualties, so they just waited for the five-nation coalition to attack Zhou at the same time?"
"But they can join forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to put pressure on the Zhou Dynasty and restrain the Zhou Dynasty's troops from gathering to the north. At that time, they only need to fight in a virtual and real way for a few months. Once Shizong is dead, the five countries will send troops at the same time. At this time, the main force of the Zhou army will be
In the north, the rest of the eastern, southern, and western borders are empty of troops. Naturally, they are unable to compete with the enemy's elite troops. They are defeated like a mountain. The five-nation coalition forces march straight in, and the capture of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is just around the corner."
"The sudden withdrawal must be due to some internal changes."
"Of course it is the military affairs that can affect the military affairs. The withdrawal of the army from the front line shows that there is a need for internal troops. Is there a rebellion within the Khitan?"
"If there hadn't been a rebellion, the Khitan army would have had no reason to withdraw!"
Feng Jiuxiao looked at the deserted streets outside. Until now, few people had come out. It seemed that when the weather got cold, people were willing to stay in the hot bed and not come out.
He knew that people in Liaodong had the habit of "cat winter".
"Cat" actually means "to hide", "to hide", but it's not even winter yet and all the cats are already here?
It seems that cats are not winter, but cold! Is now considered "cat autumn"?
However, Feng Jiuxiao also knew that the daybreak in Liaodong was actually earlier, almost an hour earlier than in the Central Plains, so it was too early to say that the people here were lazy. It was estimated that there would be more people after the sun came up.
Feng Jiuxiao wanted to take a walk around the area before everyone got up to appreciate the local cultural scenery.
It has become his habit to "walk around" in a strange place.
Unexpectedly, Pang Shishi woke up just as he was about to open the door, so he naturally wanted to follow him.
As soon as they came downstairs, they saw Yuan Zishan and Chili Pepper already waiting for them.
Yuan Zishan squinted her eyes and looked at Feng Jiuxiao: "I knew you wanted to go out for a walk, why didn't you call me? Want to have a private meeting with Xiao Shengnan?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled bitterly and said: "Are you kidding me? I'm afraid of disturbing your rest. Besides, we haven't gone to Beijing yet and I'm not here. How can we have a private meeting?"
Yuan Zishan narrowed her eyes: "Oh, she's not here? This person said it very kindly! It's also natural. It seems that she didn't say much. You mean that you didn't have a chance to see her before you went to Shangjing. You will have the chance after you go to Shangjing.
Did you have a private date with her?"
Feng Jiuxiao immediately pulled her sleeve and said seriously: "How is that possible? No matter where I go, I can't date anyone in private. If you don't believe it, we will be inseparable from now on. Just keep staring at me."
?”
Yuan Zishan swung her sleeves and glared at him, "Just stay there! How can you behave in such a manner in public? Who is inseparable from you? It's a beautiful thought!"
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled and touched her nose, "Haha, okay, okay, I won't do it. We are an old couple and we are still shy, ugh."
"What did you say?"
"nothing!"
"Walk!"
"okay!"
Yuan Zishan was dressed in black men's clothing, with her hands behind her back, and walked out with her head held high!
Feng Jiuxiao followed her with a smile on her face. Her eyes were gentle and full of doting.
Pang Shishi saw that Feng Jiuxiao was still smiling after being scolded, so he sighed and wanted to complain. Unexpectedly, when he was about to speak, his arm suddenly hurt, but he was choked by pepper!
The thumb and index finger only pinch the skin, but it hurts more than pinching the flesh completely! Chili Pepper doesn't know martial arts, so why is it so strong?
Pang Shishi sometimes wondered why Chili Pepper always hit him when he pinched him without any suspense, just like Yuan Zishan always hit Feng Jiuxiao's ears when pinched.
Is it because she is naturally defenseless against peppers? So she can always hit them with just one pinch?
"Why are you pinching me?" Pang Shishi's face was a little distorted, "Ah, hiss, ah, hiss, it hurts!" He kept screaming in pain and sucked in cold air.
"I saw that you looked treacherous just now and had bad intentions. Did you want to spit something out of your mouth?"
"What can a dog throw out of its mouth? It's definitely not ivory."
"Okay, you have grown up, right? You admit that you are a dog? Didn't you hear me calling you a dog?"
"Ah...hiss...I've heard it a long time ago. Let go. Oops, just scold me. I admit it."
"Bah! You're so spineless, get out!"
The four of them walked on the road and looked around, and saw that the Chinese architectural style here was even more "orthodox" than that of the Central Plains. This is because the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty has been preserved, with "large brackets, far-reaching eaves, gentle bends, and rigorous layout."
However, the Central Plains region has gone through wars and rebuilt a lot, so it no longer has the patience and calmness, and the construction is relatively "sloppy".
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I didn't expect that the relics of the Tang Dynasty are preserved here so completely. Not only do these restaurants and shops still retain the heritage of the Tang Dynasty, but even the residential buildings have basically not changed. Although repairs are inevitable, it is really difficult to preserve them as a whole.
Easy, it seems that the emperor of Daliao is really adhering to the ancestral precepts, governing the country with the Han system in the south, and the Khitan in the north."
Pang Shishi said: "Brother, why did the Liao Kingdom adopt one country, two systems? Why is it divided into a southern courtyard and a northern courtyard?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is the general trend."
"Is this the general trend?"
"Originally, the Khitan only occupied the White Mountains, Black Waters and Mobei grasslands. Later, they conquered the Xi, Shiwei, Zubu and other tribes. The territory continued to expand, and more and more ethnic groups merged. This faced the problem of how one dynasty could rule multiple ethnic groups.
, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty was indeed an extraordinary person. He was broad-minded, far-sighted, well-organized, and not rigid! One thing you must not expect is that he actually took in many refugees who had fled to Khitan due to the war in the Central Plains.
If you build a house for them in a certain style, what would you think if it were you?"
"People who are running away are taken in and given a house to live in. I'm afraid they won't get used to it, but the house is made to look like their hometown. What else can people say? I'm so grateful!"
"Liao Taizu also boldly appointed Han Yanhui, Han Zhigu and other Han people as high-ranking officials and important ministers. They are broad-minded, right?"
"The common people are easy to say, in order to survive, but these Han people are considered traitors when they are high-ranking officials of the Liao people, right?"
"Don't tell me, it really doesn't count. At that time, the Central Plains was a time when the heroes were divided and wars were frequent. It could be said that the people were devastated and the people were in dire straits. It was good to be able to survive. At that time, the Khitan was also facing internal strife and had too much time to take care of itself. It was not hostile to the Central Plains.
The relationship is similar to that of the Southern Han and Fujian today, so running to the Khitan cannot be considered a traitor, nor can being an official of the Khitan be considered a traitor, because they did not do anything disadvantageous to the Han people at that time."
"Now that the two countries are at war, do they count?"
Feng Jiuxiao shook her head, "Those Han people are long dead now, and their descendants are already the people of Daliao. It is only right to fight for Daliao."
Pang Shiwu was a little puzzled, "So there are no traitors? After surrendering to the enemy, he suddenly became a high-ranking official of the enemy. Not only is he not a traitor, but he is a hero?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Why are there no traitors? Shi Jingtang is the biggest traitor! He ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, claimed to be the son emperor, and betrayed the interests of the Han people to the enemy. This is the real traitor!"
He continued: "After the Liao Kingdom obtained the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, the national power of the dynasty immediately rose to a big level! According to the "Khitan Chronicles" obtained by the Imperial City Division, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is said to be: rich in water, rich in soil, and with many people and technology.
"
"Fuck! Selling your country for glory, you are indeed a big traitor!" Pang Shishi cursed.
Chili kicked it away, "Keep your mouth clean!"
Pang Shiwu smiled sarcastically, "I was so excited that I forgot all about it."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The vast majority of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are Han people. They have been ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time, so agriculture and handicrafts are relatively developed. Since the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was included in the Liao Dynasty, the Liao people began to change from the past single
The nomadic economy has become a situation where the nomadic economy and the agricultural handicraft economy coexist, that is, the north is still dominated by nomadic herders, and the south has agriculture and handicrafts. The differences between the north and the south naturally appear. Several emperors of the Liao Dynasty understood the importance of southern Liaoning, so
Only then would he say: In official affairs, Han people must act in accordance with the laws of the Southern Dynasty and must not behave inappropriately. To put it bluntly, it means letting the Han people rule the Han people and the Khitan people governing the Khitan people, so that there will be no chaos."
"How did you know?"
"I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Department, so I naturally know a lot."
"No, when did you read the secret report?"
"Haha, brother, this is a secret, we can't say it."
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. I'm not interested in this anyway."
Occasionally there are one or two elderly people wandering around on the road.
It seems that the elderly sleep less and wake up earlier.
There was hardly a young man to be seen on the road.
The roads here are not very wide, so it would take some trouble for two carriages to pass each other head-on.
If a war breaks out and military vehicles pass through here, their speed will definitely be very slow.
