Introduction to the work
In the last years of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, auspicious cranes were flying in Genyue, Bianjing. Huizong inscribed "One Man in the World" with a thin gold body, but he did not know that the Northern Jinyuan Iron Cavalry was sharpening its sword. Hua Shigang smashed the people's door panels, Li Gang picked up the pieces and saw the cracks in the empire; Zhong Shidao warned the border, but the memorial fell into the sea.
The Jin army invaded south, Huizong abandoned his throne and fled south, and Qinzong's court trembled. Li Gang put on armor to defend the city and swore to protect the people with fragments of door panels, and the people spontaneously came to the rescue. Zhong Shidao led the Western Army to rush to the rescue and criticized the imperial army for being ineffective, but it was difficult to prevent Yao Pingzhong's night attack from failing. When the city was destroyed, Li Ruoshui cursed the enemy and had his tongue cut out and wrote "Great Song Dynasty" in blood. Master Li was disfigured and donated money, and Uncle Zhang was captured at night in court uniform, showing his loyalty and tragedy.
On Beishou Road, Huizong's broken seal is hidden in his sleeves, and the painting of refugees in Five Kingdoms City is awakened; Qinzong's imitation seal is hidden, and he lives amidst regret and struggle. Zhao Gou in the south of the Yangtze River proclaimed himself emperor, Li Gang burned Shu and lamented that loyalty was difficult to use, and Yue Fei took Bianjing Tile to join the army and vowed to avenge his humiliation. Zong Ze called "cross the river" three times to pass on the Northern Expedition map, Yue Fei's great victory in Zhuxian Town was recalled by twelve gold medals, Feng Bo Pavilion wrote "The sun is shining", playing the tragic song of unfinished revenge.
In his later years, Wanyan Zonghan regretted burning the "Destroying the Liao Dynasty", and Wanyan Lou's family taught his son to plant crops and reflected on conquest. This novel takes the shame of Jingkang as its foundation, uses fragments of door panels, Bianjing tiles and other artifacts to connect destiny, balances the perspectives of the Song and Jin Dynasties, writes through the glory and darkness of human nature when civilization collapses, and reveals the tragedy and glimmer of struggle of the times.
Purpose: To use the Jingkang Incident and the resistance to gold to show individual struggles under the collapse of the times, analyze the flaws of feudal imperial power, praise the spirit of loyalty and struggle, reflect on human choices in the collision of civilizations, and allow readers to touch the historical trauma and national soul.
