Chapter 3 Jin Sheng Lishui comes out of Kungang ()

Now it is 1069 AD in the second year of Xining. It is a very strange year for He Fang, who has always been a barely qualified in history. However, the Song Dynasty Taizu, Taizong, Zhenzong, and Emperor Renzong, Emperor Yingzong, who had just died a few years ago, as well as familiar names such as Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi, and Liu Yong, plus the more familiar national names such as Khitan, Xixia, and Dali, which were left in memory, still allowed He Fang to confirm his era.

Emperor Renzong, who had been sitting on the dragon throne in the Daqing Hall for forty-two years, passed away six years ago. Although he had been alive for a long time, he did not leave any descendants and gave birth to a bunch of princesses, but there was no prince. Emperor Yingzong, as the distant cousin of Renzong, then entered the throne as a prince. However, the weak and sick Emperor Yingzong did not sit on the throne for too long. In just over four years, he followed the footsteps of his nominal father, let go of his hand, and handed over a huge empire to his eldest son Zhao Xu, who was less than twenty years old.

When the emperor ascended the throne, he would have to change the throne. The reign of the Song Dynasty was changed from Zhiping to Xining, and this year was the second year. This new emperor, who thought it should be Song Shenzong, who was closely linked to Wang Anshi's reforms... Thinking of this, He Fang suddenly felt a sudden stern.

By the way! Shenzong is a temple name, and the emperor who has not died can't enjoy it. If he calls him this rashly, he will probably not have a good result. He Fang sighed inwardly. This is the common sense left to him by the memory in his mind.

No matter how he should call the current emperor, Zhao Xu was dissatisfied with the accumulated problems of the Song Dynasty over the past few decades and wanted to learn Shang Yang's reforms to enrich the country and strengthen the army. He Fang was able to 100% affirmation.

Even if he does not have a shallow understanding of history, he only sees that this country with a million soldiers in the Heavenly Kingdom had to offer annual monies to Liao and Xia Kingdoms every year to buy a stable life. He is known as China, but is bullied by the four barbarians. The great country suffered this great humiliation. When he thinks about it, all the people with a little shame will be very sad and angry, and He Fang is also affected by the remaining memories. This is the case with the common people, let alone the lord of the Song Dynasty. After all, the current emperor Zhao Xu is only in his early twenties, and he is brave enough to be proactive and ignore the old rules.

The reason why He Fang is now lying on the bed and unable to move is to the bottom of it because the Song Dynasty's army is weak and has been repeatedly bullied by the Western Xia.

The old owner of the body occupied by He Fang was named Han Gang, and there was a preface called Yu Kun. The name and character were both named after Han Gang when he was young. The allusion of "Golden produces Lishui, and jade comes from Kungang" in "Thousand Characters Text".

Thinking of this, He Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly again. The incident of his travels to the Song Dynasty must have been confirmed. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a bunch of ancient Chinese and poems he had never read before, and he wouldn't know any allusions. This was memorized by Han Gang over the past ten years since his inception.

The Han family is not rich, but in Xialongwan village, which is as poor as most rural areas on Shaanxi Road, it can be regarded as a family. There are 100 acres of land and a ox. It is not a landlord. They work on their own and only hire some short-term workers during the busy farming period. The main business of the family is to grow vegetables. From the acres next to the river, they can be called fertile high-quality vegetable fields. They grow vegetables such as spring leeks and autumn roe, and sell them only a river and are close to Qinzhou Prefecture. The money they earned has maintained a well-off life for more than 20 years.

Han Gang was the third son of the family, and his two brothers were lucky enough to raise him to adulthood. This was a small miracle in the Song Dynasty, where the death rate of children exceeds half and even the royal family could not avoid the succession.

Han Gang's elder brother inherited the family business and the second brother joined the army. He was smart since childhood and saved money for him to study. He was eight years old and read many classics such as the Five Classics at the age of twelve. He was a famous scholar in the ten miles and eight villages. By the year before yesterday, 1067, the fourth year of Zhiping, Han Gang turned 16 years old, so he bid farewell to his parents. Like the scholars at this time, he began to go out to study.

The Northern Song Dynasty was Chengping for a hundred years and its literary style was very strong. Sun Fu and Hu Yuan were earlier, Ouyang Xiu and Zhou Dunyi in recent times, and Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Shao Yong, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, famous, unknown, and great scholars emerged one after another.

In Guanxi, there was also a erudite scholar who started his sect, named Zhang Zai. Zhang Zai recruited many disciples in Guanzhong area and had many disciples. The school he founded was Guan Xue, so Han Gang joined his disciples and studied hard for two years.

Luzhou where the Han family is located is not peaceful, located in Qinzhou, Shaanxi on the northwestern border of the Song Dynasty. In the 21st century, He Fang had seen many customs and cultures in Shaanxi, but he never had the experience of crossing the war. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Shaanxi faced the Western Xia, so there were constant wars every year.

In the memory left by Han Gang, more than 20 years ago, after Li Yuanhao inherited his father's throne and commanded the various divisions of the Northwest Dangxiang, he raised the flag of rebellion. Li Yuanhao was cruel and unkind, and he was also fond of fishing. He didn't even let his daughter-in-law go, and eventually died at the hands of his own son. But he was indeed a great man. He abandoned the surname of Song and found a Xianbei ancestor for himself, and changed his surname to Wei. He led the already semi-independent Yinxia Dangxiang, captured the Xingling Prefectures on the Hetao Plain, ascended the throne and became emperor on his own, and established the Xixia regime. In just a few years, three large-scale battles, the Song army ended in a crushing defeat, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, so he could only recognize the existence of the Xixia Kingdom.

Since then, there has been no sound of the golden drum horn on the border between Song and Xia for a year. The people in Kansai were either conscripted to serve as civil servants or directly joined the army. Han Gang's father and elder brother have served as civil servants, transporting grain to the front line, or building cities on the border. Han Gang's second brother joined the army after he was sixteen years old. After joining the army, he was repeatedly injured and was injured many times over several years. Due to his merits, he became a small officer named the left tenth general.

The family has three sons, one is a farmer, one is a military member, and the other is a study student. Each of them has a promising future. The Han family is an enviable family in the village. But this year, everything has changed.

In early April this year, the Western Xia army invaded the south again, and more than 100,000 troops attacked Qinzhou with all their might. Han Gang's second brother was once again in battle, and Han Gang's eldest brother who was working at home was temporarily recruited. But once the two left, they never came back. Han Gang studied with Zhang Zai for two years outside. Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, he was called back by a 100,000-year-old letter.

I still remember that Han Gang was rushing home to attend the funeral day and night from a place where he was studying in another place. He was sick from rain and wind on the way. He forced his sick body to get sick and couldn't get up. It was still the time when the weather was hot in mid-May. Now He Fang was covered with two thick quilts, and he felt a little cold all over, not only because of his weakness, but also because the weather was really getting cold. It was probably August and September that the autumn was coming.

He fell in bed for three or four months because of a lung disease. He Fang personally felt what advantages the society has in a thousand years later. In the era in which He Fang is now living, life is as light as a feather. Whether it is war or disease, it can easily make a strong young man lose his life, which is definitely not something that can be laughed at.

A disease caused the Han family to become a well-off family. The two houses in the house should have been sold. Otherwise, the room where He Fang is now would not match the memories left by Han Gang, which is hundreds of acres of land, and the remaining three acres of vegetable garden was still remembered day and night. He Fang heard the conversation between the land buyer Li Laizi and his parents, but he didn't know what the final result was. Did the only three acres of land left by the Han family also be sold?
