Dynasties have changed frequently in Chinese history, but everyone knows that no matter how the dynasties change or who rule, they always protect the imperial tombs of all dynasties. The purpose is to stabilize the country and ensure the business of private families. Unless there is a strong hatred, or a peasant uprising army without culture, people with a little knowledge will not use such despicable means. However, in the Yuan Dynasty, the precedent of the Southern Song Dynasty, the tombs of the six emperors and more than 100 concubines, royal family and ministers were all robbed and excavated, and the culprit was a monk - Yang Lianzhenjia.

The information in Zhao Bing's hand was the news that Kublai Khan appointed Yang Lianzhenjia as the "President of the Buddhist Capital of Jiangnan". This may be the first "president" appointment letter issued in the world, but fortunately this president is only in charge of the affairs of Jiangnan Buddhism, otherwise he would not know how much sin he would have to commit. And he was also extremely familiar with what Yang Lianzhenjia did, which was a scar that could never be healed for the Han people. Every time he opened it, it was bloody!

First of all, we must start with the tomb system of the Song Dynasty. From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties to the founding of the Song Dynasty, regimes changed frequently, military people showed off their strength, and etiquette and law were not practiced. Therefore, Song Dynasty vigorously advocated civilized governance at the beginning. To achieve the goal of governing the country with civilization, we must vigorously promote the etiquette and law system that has been abandoned for many years, and the ancient system of "burial in July" was first recommended. That is to say, since the death of the emperor, it must be buried within seven months.

Although this is mainly to rebuild the system of etiquette and order, the ancient Chinese advocated that death is like life. After the emperor died, he had to wait for the miracle to appear, hoping that he could be resurrected, so he was unwilling to put the emperor into the ground early. In addition, the death of the emperor was a very important event. All countries with diplomatic relations with the Northern Song Dynasty would send envoys to comfort him. At that time, the means of transportation were not developed, so it took a long time to report the deceased to various countries. The emperor's tombs took a long time after all. The emperor's tombs also took a lot of time to build the imperial tomb after the emperor's death. Therefore, it was set as a seven-month mourning period.

However, in previous dynasties, they often started to build tombs since the emperor ascended the throne, which took ten years or decades, so the scale was large. However, the Emperor of Song did not build Shouling during his lifetime, so the construction time was tight, the scale of construction was much smaller, the facilities were relatively simple, and the impact on the lives of the people was relatively small. After the Jingkang Incident, Zhao Gou crossed south to establish the Southern Song Dynasty, but people would die eventually, but the ancestral tomb was unable to be buried in Gong County, Henan, so he could only choose another place to bury in Jiangnan.

In the first year of Shaoxing, Empress Meng of Zhezong Zhaoci Shengxian died of illness in Shaoxing. The empress dowager's imperial edict: It is a place to be buried in regular clothes, and gold and silver treasures are not allowed. It is easy to choose a place to accumulate funerals nearby, waiting for military peace, returning to the garden and tombs, and the coffin was built, taking Zhou Wu's body, and not obeying the old system, thinking that it would be convenient for moving and serving in the future. It means to accumulate funerals nearby, collecting the coffin, and then returning to the grand burial after the lost land is recovered. This is also the beginning of the palace. Then, the Liulings of Song Dynasty were temporarily buried in the Southern Song Dynasty, so the tombs were shallow and simpler, so that they could be moved to the ancestral tombs.

At that time, Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou established a capital in Lin'an and Kuaiji established a prefecture. Kuaiji was the settlement of the Zhao clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan cl

Yang Lianzhenjia was a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Western Xia and a disciple of the Tubo monk Basiba. Seeing that he was favored by Kublai Khan, he was appointed as the chief photographer of the Jiangnan Buddhist temple in Jiangnan and stationed in Hangzhou. When he came to Lin'an, the local gold, silver and treasures had been robbed by the Yuan army in front, and he got nothing. Just when he was dejected, Fu Wen, a monk from Tianyi Temple in Hangzhou who did not follow the Qing rules and regulations, presented Tianyi Temple to him in order to please Yang Lianzhenjia. He also told Yang Lianzhenjia that if he wanted to get a large amount of treasure, he had to dig a grave.

In order to obtain more property, Yang Lianzhenjia decided to excavate the imperial tomb of Shaoxing. So Yang Lianzhenjia told the court: "The reason why the war in Jiangnan was endless that the Southern Song Dynasty could not completely perish was mainly because their imperial tombs had good feng shui and bless them. The best way was to destroy the large-scale six tombs of Shaoxing Southern Song tombs to kill themselves." Any ruler knew that digging the imperial tombs was equivalent to making enemies for themselves, and the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Sangge, actually agreed, and Kublai Khan did not punish him at the time, which was obviously acquiesced.

With the support of two great figures, Yang Lianzhenjia robbed the six tombs of Kuaiji. Since Emperor Lizong was in power for 30 years, the burial time was not long and the burial was the richest. After opening the coffin, he found that his body looked as if alive, and his skin was elastic. His whole body was wrapped with pearls and treasures, wrapped in gold wire covers. The cotton woven mattress was covered with pearls, jade, agate, and shining. So Yang Lianzhenjia ordered to take off the gold wire cover, strip off the dragon robe, tear off the underwear, take off his shoes and socks, and search for jewels all over his body. At the same time, he robbed all the burial treasures placed inside and outside the coffin and in the underground palace.

It would be fine if he took the treasure. What is outrageous is that Yang Lianzhenjia heard that the night pearls in the emperor's mouth were the most precious, so the body of Song Lizong dragged out of the underground palace, hung upside down on the tree, and drew a large pot of mercury, and the pearls fell out as well. Seeing that Lizong's head was huge and different from ordinary people, he actually sawed off his skull and painted it with gold and silver jewelry. People at that time avoided the taboo of the emperor and the emperor, saying that it was made into a wine vessel, but in fact it was used as a drowning vessel. In addition, Yang Lianzhenjia also buried the stolen corpses of the emperor and empress in Lin'an Forbidden City, and built a thirteen-level white tower to suppress it...

In his previous life, Zhao Bing only thought that this was a crazy act of greed for money, but now it seems to be a political incident, which combines many factors such as wealth accumulation, national hatred and discrimination. Yang Lianzhenjia, as the executor, is just a pervert who pleases the people in power. Their main purpose is to psychologically suppress the people in Jiangnan, thereby destroying their sense of superiority and consciousness of resistance.

You should know that the political environment in Jiangnan was not so harmonious at this time, and the dynasty led by Zhao Bing still existed, which shows that the Song Dynasty was not completely conquered. The anti-Yuan uprising in Jiangnan never stopped one after another. Although the Mongols who founded the Yuan Dynasty won both politics and military victory, this could not make up for their backwardness in economy, technology, science and culture. The Han people also looked down on them because of their backwardness and regarded them as barbarians.

In Zhao Bing's view, although Yang Lianzhenjia was a monk, he was very smart in pleasing those in power. In Feng Shui, the tombs of emperors all occupied the dragon cave, and the national vein would not be cut off as long as they were not destroyed. It was because Yang Lianzhenjia seized this point that he was acquiescent from Kublai Khan and the support of Sangge. His tomb robbery not only dug up the dragon vein and blocked the revival of the Song Dynasty, but also insulted the Song Dynasty and the entire Han society to the greatest extent, expressing the great contempt of the Yuan Dynasty regime for the Pian'an Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Bing naturally did not believe in Feng Shui theory, but as the successor of the Song Dynasty, the descendants of the Zhao royal family could not be left out of it. He knew that in China, it was not only ancient times, but even in modern times, the humiliation of being dug up the ancestors and the affairs of his ancestors would be regarded as a great humiliation. If you do not fight for revenge, you will be looked down upon, you will not be able to be a human being in your life, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in society. In this way, Yang Lianzhenjia's tomb robbery pushed him to the forefront, and he had to do something to stand in the world.

But Zhao Bing is not an impulsive person, and the matter has not happened yet, so there is still room for remedy. The easiest way is to send an elite ranger to assassinate Yang Lianzhenjia, and the crisis was wiped out without knowing it. However, he is no longer the simple corporate executive who just arrived in this world, but a "bad man" who "degenerates" into a politician who knows how to use all means to maintain his rule and achieve his political goals.

Now in Zhao Bing's dictionary, crisis has become synonymous with opportunity. He can turn an accident that may cause crisis into a world of fame and fortune, create several heroes to divert their attention, turn bad things into good things, and eliminate the crisis invisible; he can use the red terror to force the people in the occupied areas to use for his own use, or create white terror to threaten the enemy officials in the occupied areas to turn a blind eye to resistance. The possible incident of the poaching of the imperial tombs may be another opportunity given to him by God...

The most important task of the dynasty is to restore the country. After recent years of development, Qiongzhou has more than 300,000 imperial guards and local troops, accumulated millions of stones of food, and accumulated millions of treasury of money. However, everyone has also seen the potential crisis, and the weakness of Qiongzhou's narrow territory has gradually emerged. The increase in population, the scarcity of resources and development have been restricted. Therefore, it has become a consensus among the ministers in the dynasty, but there are serious differences in the development direction.

There are two main strategic development directions in the downward movement of the court: one is to manage Xichuan, then develop towards Shaanxi and Gansu, occupy Guanzhong and seize the world; the other is to still seize the old land in the southeast, form separatist in the south of the Yangtze River, and then fight the Central Plains to recover lost land. From the perspective of difficulty, it is obviously the second type is easier and very realistic.

Jiangnan has a large population and is very rich. It has always been a place for food taxation in all dynasties and the former place of the Song Dynasty. It is conducive to the dynasty from the perspective of the right time, place, people and people. However, the first type is more difficult. First of all, Xichuan is one of the most fierce battles between Mongolia and Song dynasties. It has changed hands several times, with serious population losses and barren land. If you want to restore it to the country of Tianfu, it will not be completed in a short time. The land of Shaanxi and Gansu is close to the old Mongolian land, which is its fundamental location. Not only are there heavy troops stationed, but Guanzhong is no longer as rich as the previous dynasty, and the population structure has long changed, which is not conducive to restoring the country.

In fact, most of the court officials agreed to be in charge of Xichuan and advance to Guanzhong. Their persistence was nothing more than the establishment of dynasties that developed from north to south and then seized the whole country. However, the Northern Expedition of the Jiangnan regime never succeeded, but was annexed by the northern regime. Therefore, it was not surprising that they insisted on developing from north to south, thinking that this would not repeat the same mistakes.

Zhao Bing knew what they said was right. From the terrain and geographical perspective, China's east-west dividing line starts from Shanhaiguan, goes along the Yanshan Taihang Mountains and goes to the southwest corner, crossing Daba Mountain and Hengduan Mountains, splitting China into two parts: the north-south dividing line along the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River into the sea. On the basis of this vertical and horizontal, it is divided into nine hinterland areas and nine outer boundary areas: the nine hinterland areas refer to Guanzhong, Shanxi, Hebei, Central Plains, Shandong, Hanzhong, Yangzhou, Jingxiang and Sichuan; the nine outer boundary areas include the Western Regions, Mongolia, Northeast, Longyou, Tibet, Yunnan, Zhejiang and Fujian hills, western Hunan and southern Jiangxi hills and Guangdong and Guangxi.

Among these eighteen regions, there are two main areas where you can win the world. The first is Guanzhong, Longyou, Hanzhong and Sichuan. Guanzhong has a dangerous terrain and people are good at fighting. Longyou provides war horses. Hanzhong and Sichuan provide food and reserve forces, and Hanzhong and Sichuan are very easy to defend and have no worries. This combination is more powerful when the weather is hot and the northwest is good. In this way, the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties have almost covered the most prosperous era in China.

The second area is Hebei, with the northeast plus Mongolia. The core of this combination is Hebei region, with high grain output, Yan and Zhao are good at Renxia, ​​Mongolia provides war horses and foreign aid, and the current Northeast can provide food and strategic rear. In this way, those who win the world include the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Di usurp power and Qing Dynasty. In the north, there are Jin and Later Zhao. Therefore, from the above historical facts, it can be seen that China's strategic focus has always been in the northwest, Shanxi and North China, which has formed China's strategic culture with a major influence.

In any overall competition, the Central Plains is a must-fight place. Only the Central Plains is the real arena to compete for the top. Only the Central Plains have a well-connected geographical conditions can obtain the situation of controlling the eight directions. The Central Plains must be stable and the four directions can be stable; if the Central Plains are chaotic, the situation in the four directions will inevitably lead to scattering. If the Central Plains are not managed well, there will be no way to compete for the world; if the Central Plains are not managed well, there will be no way to seek long-term stability in the world.

In addition, the Chinese political center was first changed in Henan and Shaanxi, and later in Hebei and Shandong. China has actually referred to northern China for a long time. Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the backwardness of the south was thought-provoking. Even today, the south is still not a political center, but only from economically developed regions. In this context, southerners are thinking about how to make money and are really not interested in becoming officials.
