No shortage of walls

Of course, the current land of the Song Dynasty is still too far away from the homeland of the previous life. For a sovereign country, it needs sufficient territory and strategic depth to be safe. The first thing is cultural identity. Just like in the previous life, throughout history for tens of thousands of years, the so-called ancient civilizations have all become ancient countries. They have passed away, and only their own homeland survives. As for any big bullshit country in that continent, it is not as big as a county in the old motherland. You could circle the country in one day on a motorcycle.

I really don’t know how many years have passed since then, or whether it’s another planet, and I actually came here. It's a pity that God is not in favor of human life. There is no way for me to live until civilization and technology have advanced to the level of the previous life. Otherwise, I would know where this place is.

Song Xing laughed when he thought about it. He really wanted to be an emperor and a god at the same time. In the past, there was a Taoist emperor in the Ming Dynasty who said that the gathering of three flowers at the top was originally a dream, but flying in the clouds and mist was no longer true.

Song Xing had already talked with Liu Qixi about his views on the Xia Kingdom. Zhang Chenggong had only been here for two months. When he talked to him about his views on the Xia Kingdom, he was a bit bullying. He just encouraged him to lead the troops well. Yan means Cong Erpin; let him strive to remove the word Cong. Make some achievements and cut off the word"conformity", so that others will look pleasing to the eye.

As an emperor, no matter who he belonged to before or whose lap he held; now it all belongs to him. As long as he does not rebel against the Song Dynasty or himself, he is not wrong in the first place. If he seizes on other people's past bad things, he will be punished by his ministers. I thought the emperor was stingy. It's better to praise him to win people's hearts. The southern and northern borders are all subjects of the Song Dynasty, and they should not be treated differently in the first place.

Besides, if the emperor personally praises him, then forget it if he doesn't know how to be a good person himself.

Of course Zhang Chenggong could hear it. I was extremely happy, and the emperor even encouraged me, which showed that there was still great hope to get rid of Congzi. It's just that I came from the north and have no military exploits. If I don't perform well in guarding the gate, it will be the emperor who promoted me to the second rank. I really can't convince the public. Even if the emperor encourages you, you still have to do your own fighting in order to level up.

The generals before the Song Dynasty were only second-rank ministers. Song Xing became emperor, and all his officials were promoted to one rank. Even the salary has been raised.

Song Xing told him to be careful of Xia and Lu. I was preparing to leave for Dingzhou tomorrow, but in the evening, Guan Yunshan in the north brought two people, an old man and a young man, to see the emperor.

Regarding Guan Yunshan, Song Xing knew that he had never seen the old man and the young man before. He only saw that the old man was about sixty years old, with a red face, leopard eyes, and two heavy eyebrows that were not angry. He was seven feet tall, and the young man was only eighteen Nine years old, with arms and waist, a white face and no beard, two slender eyes, but a pair of thick and long eyebrows. Apparently, he is quite docile.

The three of them came to salute and knelt down to worship three times. Guan Yunshan is called the last general, but those two people are called ordinary people.

Song Xingdao:"These two are……"

The old man and the young man knelt down again. He cupped his hands and said:"The common people of Beiming, this is the eldest grandson Bei Wushuang, please pay homage to the Holy Ann!"

Song Xing was very familiar with Beiming and often heard it mentioned by officials in the north.

It turns out that this Northern Ming Dynasty was still a first-class general among the old emperors in the north, with countless military exploits. When he was young, he had only 20,000 troops, and sent his soldiers into the Hu territory for 200 miles. He killed the huge Eastern Hu country and left corpses everywhere. His demeanor changed, and the old Shanyu of Donghu almost became a dead soul under his sword; he was still the god of war in the northern border of the Song Dynasty, intimidating the Hu people to this day. In addition, he is also the master of Chang Wei, the first-level governor of the Northern Territory. Chang Wei was originally his disciple. Chang Wei was originally ranked first. Apart from being chased by King Jing once, he was also an undefeated general. As for Chang Wei Master, you can imagine.

It's just that it has been more than 20 years since Beiming resigned from the northern court. In his youth, he returned to his countryside and stopped caring about worldly affairs. It was still his eldest son Bei'an who grew up as a military officer in the political struggle in the northern border. The hero who single-handedly withstood the siege of three barbarian generals was supposed to die on the battlefield, but the general who was wrapped in horse leather did not die on the battlefield. Instead, he died at a young age due to the checks and balances of the king.

Beiming didn't even know the real cause of death. All I know is that if you are afraid of crime, do it yourself. For a child who is only seventeen years old, why should he be afraid of sin? He didn't say anything about the crime he was afraid of. He just sent back a corpse without saying anything, and lost a son in vain.

Beiming was disheartened and resigned from office with his young son and returned home. Even if the little emperor of the north went to invite him later. He also speculated that he had given up martial arts for decades and spent his days hoeing in the wilderness. He was getting older and was afraid of horses. People are old and afraid of death and don't want to come out. The youngest son in the family has been sick and weak since he was a child. He has struggled to feed him. He can't even beat an ordinary farmer. Letting him go to the battlefield is like letting him die. As for the grandchildren, they can't even pee now. If you don't know how to avoid people, what's the use?

Song Xing had heard about it in the north that day, and he also knew that Beiming was old and his family was small. He was the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he didn't bother to learn other people's nonsense of seeking talents. Besides, his son was not chosen by him. His father, Prince Jing, wanted to kill him and didn't bother to pay attention to him, knowing that he was Chang Wei's master. Later, when he returned to the south to take charge of the affairs, he only asked Chang Sheng to express his condolences and ask him to come out. Even I thought it was fake at the time, so the other party naturally responded very politely, full of apologies and reasons. I wrote four pieces of paper, but the overall meaning was just two words: I won’t do it. Forget it, it's not easy for me to embarrass a veteran who has passed away and is from the north, and has nothing to do with his father; I just don't know what he means by coming here at this time, but I also know that Guan Yunshan is the leader of Chang Wei. Even though he came out, Guan Yunshan is still less than thirty years old. But in the Northern Court, he was originally a second-grade general. In fact, Song Xing just gave him the unfamiliar title of Army Commander. Second-grade, isn't it the original grade?

When the two Song dynasties were unified, many people were promoted, but Guan Yunshan was not promoted.

Listen to him. He said:"I know you. You are the master of General Chang Wei. It is quite remarkable that you can teach a first-class general like Chang Wei."

Beiming was startled. Before he came, he had heard about the emperor and read it in the newspapers. I have also seen the emperor who is like a fairy. But when I heard him say something like a child, I couldn't help but be stunned, but soon returned to normal. He said hurriedly:"Your Majesty is overly praised. It's all General Chang's fault, and it has little to do with the common people."

How could Song Xing not see the flash in his eyes and smile in his heart. After all, the other party is older. Then he said gently:"Get back on your feet."

Grandfather and grandson Xie En stood up, still holding his hands.

Song Xingdao asked:"What is the purpose of the old general's trip?"

Beiming said:"Although the common people have lived in the northern wilderness for a long time, they have been the people of the Song Dynasty for generations. Today, Your Majesty, the Emperor, has talents from all over the world. The common people are bold and come to show their shame. , I hope the emperor will not be offended, although the common people are old, they can still die on the battlefield."
