Chapter 32 Section 5 Khitan returns to the north

After Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty became the lord of the Central Plains, he did not kill Shi Chonggui, the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty.So how would he deal with Shi Chonggui?What is Shi Chonggui's final fate? After Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Shi Chonggui was deposed and was escorted northward by the Liao army.More than a hundred years later, after the Jingkang Change, the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and the two emperors of Huiqin hunted north in a hurry and died in the Northern Kingdom.In fact, this scene was staged more than a hundred years ago, but because the influence of the later Jin Dynasty was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, and Shi Chonggui was not as famous as the two emperors of Huiqin, so he was not as sympathetic as the two emperors of Huiqin.The difference between Shi Chonggui and the Huiqin Emperors is that he was born as a general after all, and fought the world with his great ancestor Shi Jingtang.He was escorted to the north, and the Liao army did not provide any food, so Shi Chonggui hunted animals to satisfy his hunger, "killing animals and eating them" ("Old History of the Five Dynasties Jin Shu Shaodi Benji 5").When he arrived at Huanglong Mansion thousands of miles away, he had just settled down when the imperial decree came, asking him to go to Huaizhou, which took him another thousand miles.After arriving in Huaizhou, catching up with the change of the throne of the Liao Kingdom, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty died, and Sejong succeeded to the throne.Emperor Sejong treated Shi Chonggui pretty well and placed him in Huaizhou.But as soon as Shi Chonggui took a breath, the blow came: Emperor Sejong's brother-in-law took a fancy to his daughter and came to ask him for it.Shi Chonggui said, my daughter is too young to marry, so she cannot marry.Sejong's brother-in-law went to see Sejong, saying that I wanted a daughter of a prisoner of war, but if he didn't give it to me, what do you think?Sejong became angry when he heard it, wouldn't he grab it if he didn't give it to you?Shizong's brother-in-law snatched Shi Chonggui's daughter away.This incident has set an example for other Khitan ministers - so they can be robbed if they don't have to?Everyone will come to grab it.You rob the boss, I rob the second, he robs the third, and after robbing the daughter, he robs Shi Chonggui's concubine.Shi Chonggui suffered a lot of humiliation, and was later taken to Chaoyang, Liaoning today to farm. He was given 50 acres of land and built a few thatched huts.Shi Chonggui was overwhelmed with worry and anger, and died in Beiguo when he was less than fifty years old.It can be seen that in the later Jin Dynasty, the two emperors were very miserable, regardless of whether they were sons or grandsons of Khitan, of course it was even worse to be grandsons.

After Emperor Taizong of Liao became the lord of the Central Plains, he found that this place was not good, and it was really not suitable for him to live for a long time.Why is it bad?The first one is that it was too hot to bear (I don’t know how hot the Central Plains could be at that time, Kaifeng also belongs to the north, anyway, it must be hotter than the grasslands).Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty felt that the grassland was still comfortable and the air was fresh. The other is that the Central Plains people are too unfriendly.Why are the Central Plains people unfriendly?They always attacked the Khitan army.The Khitan army had no logistical support. When the army went south, it relied on "threshing grain and grass". To put it bluntly, it was looting.The Khitan people think that if we take something from you, you must kill our people. Is this appropriate?If we rob you of a chicken or a pig, you will kill our people. The key is that you don’t know who did it. You Central Plains people are so unfriendly!If the two armies are fighting against each other, even if the Khitan has a hundred thousand cavalry, even if there are a million people from the Central Plains, they will not be an opponent.The problem is that the Khitan soldiers go out in groups of three or two to rob, and the people of the Central Plains can kill them by bringing up hoes, dung and forks. The Khitan soldiers are short of two today and three short tomorrow, so they have to stay in the Central Plains for a while longer. It's not good that hundreds of thousands of people are buried here.No, let's go back quickly, we don't have many athletes in Khitan, so it's not okay to lose like this every day here.So Emperor Taizong told his ministers, let's withdraw the army, the Central Plains is not good, the climate is hot, and the people are not friendly.
