In 1688, not long after the war in the northwest was extinguished, an astonishing news came out of the Huai River Valley: the Great Song Dynasty Wujing doctor and Bozhou regimental training made Wang Yan rebel against the Song Dynasty with Haozhou and ask to be attached to the Han Dynasty.

Between the ten days, the border of the Han and Song dynasties was in an emergency, the Great Song Dynasty north to the Yellow River in the south to the Yangtze River, from Huaihai in the east to Hanzhong in the west, the people were all panicked when they heard the news, and the Xuanfu of the Huaibei Road in the Great Song Dynasty made Zhang Jun dare not make a time, and urgently sent a rush to ask the court to decide. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were dissatisfied when they heard this, and Han Shizhong said indignantly: "Zhang Jun misled the country! When Wang Yanfang rebelled, he should rush to break Bozhou with ten thousand powers, how to ask the court! ”

Left and right or said: "Wang Yan's rebellion has obviously been premeditated for a long time, he raised the flag, Xiao someone in the north immediately accepted, if Zhang Xuanfu added troops to Bozhou, Xiao Tienu immediately raised troops to echo, at that time, from the Huai River to the Qinling Mountains, I am afraid that the war will be triggered." Meng Lang's attack on Bo may not be the way to seek the country. ”

"Because of this, they have been premeditated, so they should cut through the mess quickly!" Han Shizhong said: "The Han Dynasty has been harmonious for a long time, and the state of brothers is when the emperor of the Northern Dynasty conquered Mobei and the interior was empty, and my Great Song Dynasty did not cross the north of Xuzhou. Now that Wang Yan is in trouble, he is rebellious in my Great Song Dynasty, and he is adding chaos in his Northern Dynasty, and I expect that Yang Yingqi and the generals of Zhao Li in the Han Dynasty may not be happy to see this. Although Xiao Tienu echoed, if Zhang Jun could make a decision immediately, that is, to break through Bozhou with a large army, Zhao Li and Xu Wen might not dare to cross the border to rescue. After the matter was completed, Wang Yan's head was used to convey the Northern Dynasty to show that this was a traitor in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and it had nothing to do with friendly countries, and it was useless for Xiao Tienu to roar and shout at that time. But now Zhang Jun first asked the imperial court, with the procrastination of the princes of Jiankang, he must not act decisively, and when they negotiate a charter, Xiao Tienu has already been prepared! At that time, if Bozhou is moved, it will really be a military alliance, if Bozhou is not moved, let Wang Yan be attached, wouldn't it be a bad start to let the border generals do the same? If so, I'm afraid that in a few years, half of my Songzhou County will change banners! ”

Sure enough, after the Jiankang court received Zhang Jun's report, there were many discussions, one faction advocated immediate suppression, one faction advocated cautious conduct, and some people even suggested that Bozhou should be cut off to avoid trouble, the discussion has not yet come to fruition, Xiao Tienu has already been arranged in the north, Xu Wen's soldiers and horses have also been connected to Bozhou Wang Yan, and even a team of Han troops sneaked into Wang Yan's county, although there are not many Han troops, but they have entered the city, Zhang Jun wants to do it again, that is, the Han and Song Dynasty wars, at this time, the princes of Jiankang dare not act rashly, I had to quickly send an envoy to the north to negotiate, hoping that the northern dynasty would abide by the agreement between the two sides.

Xiao Tienu's move is mainly to bury a powder keg, not to go south, and when the powder keg is properly placed, he will set off to return to the north, and the impeachment of the imperial history has not returned to the capital has flown like snowflakes, Xiao Tienu did not pay attention to it, and after seeing Zhe Yanchong, he returned to the Privy Council to continue to dispatch troops.

Yang Yingqi saw that Zhi Yanchong suppressed the impeachment of the imperial historians on the grounds of "political affairs and military power", so he convened the important ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion and invited the emperor, the privy councillor and the generals in Beijing to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters.

The meeting of the Prime Minister's Mansion has not yet been held, the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty has arrived, Han Fang asked Yang Yingqi if he would wait for the meeting to meet the Song envoy, although Yang Yingqi advocated a delay in the war, but he did not have the intention of bullying the Song Dynasty in his heart, and after a little groaning, he said: "I will see the Song envoy first, and try the soft and hard of the Southern Dynasty." Asked again who the messenger was, Han Fang said that it was Zhu Ben. There are thousands of names in the hearts of those who seek the world, Yang Yingqi is in the position of the chief assistant of the great country, he knows something about the officials of Dahan County and above, and the officials of Dasong Prefecture and above, as for the important advisers of both sides of the enemy and us, they have been in their hearts for a long time, although this kind of ability is rare, but it is not Yang Yingqi's unique ability, Cai Jing of the year and Qin Hui of today also have such qualities. So at this time, Yang Yingqi frowned slightly when he heard that it was Zhu Ben, and thought: "It seems that this time the Southern Dynasty is a hardliner raising his head." ”

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Zhu Ben accused Han Ting of betraying the alliance, asked Yang Yingqi to punish the perpetrators, and publicly dissociated himself from Bozhou Wang Yan. ”

Zhu Ben heard it and said: "Since the prime minister can't be the master, he doesn't have the courage to fight, please introduce him to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "My Emperor of the Han Dynasty has a lot of opportunities, and Lord Zhu has to schedule if he wants to see him." ”

Zhu Ben protested and shouted: "Prime Minister! You are known as a virtuous minister, and the scholars of the world are either loyal to the Zhe clan or loyal to the Zhao clan, but you are the prime minister, regardless of the north and south! Do you really want to see the two countries fighting each other and losing their lives? ”

Yang Yingqi's eyelids drooped, and then said: "I have a plan, if the Zhao official family is willing to listen, maybe they can calm down the conflict before they move." Zhu Ben asked He Ce, and Yang Yingqi said: "According to the alliance on the water of the Yangtze River back then, the land of Henan should belong to my Han." It is only because the border generals of your country are flying high, do not abide by this alliance, steal Bianliang, and expose our Hedong and Hebei to the swords and soldiers of the Guizhou Dynasty, and the merchants and farmers cannot rest in peace, which has caused the dissatisfaction of our court and the resentment of the army and the people. If the Zhao official family can follow the alliance on the water of the Yangtze River and take Yibozhou in Henan, not only can this matter be turned into benefit, but also the brotherhood between the north and the south will be more consolidated. As for Wang Yan...... We don't care about Yue Fei's mistakes, so don't care about his actions to understand current affairs. ”

Zhu Ben said angrily: "Prime Minister, what are these words!" Bianliang is the former capital of my Great Song Dynasty, this matter is known to the world, Marshal Yue waved his army to the north, expelled the Jin people and returned to his homeland, how did it become a theft? And since our generals won Bianliang, they have not crossed the Yellow River in the north, so why not live in the people of the two rivers? It is even more ridiculous to want to change the city of Bozhou in Henan, a land of thousands of miles! As for Marshal Yue and Wang Yan, the two of them are loyal and traitorous, just like the bright moon in the sky and like dung in a ditch, how can they be compared? The land of Bozhou still belongs to our dynasty, and Wang Yan's traitors must be awarded the head - this is the place of the big festival of right and wrong, and there is no need to discuss! ”

The last sentence "no negotiable" was really a little angry, but Yang Yingqi didn't lose his temper with him, changed his tone, and his words changed from elegant to vulgar, so he took a moment to say: "You don't have to discuss, Zhao Guan's family may not have to discuss." You can write a letter for the deputy envoy to bring back and convey my meaning to Jiankang, maybe they will agree. Alas, Master Zhu, you have to know that it is difficult for me to do it, I also want peace, and I don't like to fight, but my sixth brother wants to fight, and he is in charge of the privy council, and this war is in his charge, and I have to come up with a reason to pull his hind legs! So I also asked Zhao Guanjia and Jiankang Zhugong to help, don't make it difficult for me. Zhu Ben was so angry that the two sides broke up unhappily.

On the second day, Zhi Yanchong drove to the Prime Minister's Mansion, on the left was Yang Yingqi sitting on the Queling chair, starting with Chen Xian, Chen Zhenghui, Han Fang and other cadres, and on the right was Xiao Tienu sitting on a tiger skin chair, starting with Liu Qi, Qu Duan, Ren Dejing and other military generals. After the salute was finished, Yang Yingqi scolded Xiao Tienu and said, "Sixth brother, why are you so abrupt this time!" I don't know that the Prime Minister will accept Bozhou as soon as he says, you are violating the system! ”

Xiao Tienu smiled and said: "The matter is urgent, I am in the Daimyo's Mansion, if the prophet understands you, wait for you to decide and send a document, everything is wrong!" If he doesn't have even the slightest power to act cheaply, what else do you need this privy envoy to do? You don't necessarily ask my Privy Council when you do things! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Sixth brother, I don't want to invade your rights, if the Southern Song Dynasty invades the north and the border is urgent, then I won't say anything no matter what you do, but in my opinion, even if it is wrong, it is better than acting recklessly!" Bozhou is not a big place, and Wang Yan is not an important person, and it is really worth the loss to break the diplomatic relations between the north and the south for the sake of this state. ”

Xiao Tienu sneered: "What is Bozhou! What is the surname Wang? I spent so much effort to accept him and protect him, just to see what Zhao Gou would do! Now there are my Han military horses in Bozhou City, if Zhao Gou dares to force the siege of the city, it is to declare war on my Han, if Zhao Gou does not dare to move, then the other generals of the Southern Dynasty will be buoyant, and then they will be suspicious of each other, that is, there is nothing to make trouble! Don't you really understand my plan? If you know, why ask! ”

When these words came out, Zhi Yanchong nodded again and again, and Yang Yingqi was also silent. After Jingkang, in order to protect the country and protect the species, the Southern Song Dynasty court gave more and more power to the armies, and the generals not only regained the power to command the battle independently, but even had almost independent financial power. Xiao Tienu has been in the northwest for a long time, and he has always dealt with Hu people, so Yang Yingqi didn't expect that he would be able to stab the dead hole of the Great Song Dynasty system just after he took over the privy council. In fact, although Yang Yingqi advocates slow reunification, he is not unified, and he wants to deal with Zhao Gou, aiming at the direction that Xiao Tienu is aiming at, and the two can be said to have the same goal at this point.

Chen Zhenghui stood up and asked, "In this way, the marshal is planning to start an all-out war against the Song court?" ”

Xiao Tienu leaned on the tiger skin chair, glanced at Chen Zhenghui and said, "I'm talking to Lao Qi, what are you talking about!" ”

This sentence was really insulting, Chen Zhenghui's face was full of blood, and then he pressed it down, adjusted his breath, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The court discusses state affairs, but in terms of right and wrong, how can there be a high or low status?" ”

Xiao Tienu's eyes widened, half of the zombie's face was extremely terrifying, and Zhi Yan rushed to the top and shouted: "Sixth! This is not in the army, no rudeness! Xiao Tienu snorted and looked away from Chen Zhenghui.

Chen Zhenghui asked again: "Marshal, do you really plan to start an all-out war?" ”

Xiao Tienu stared at the ground and said, "So what?" You don't care about the military department, what are you doing asking this! ”

Chen Zhenghui shouted: "Not bad! I don't care about the military department, but I am in charge of the household department! Marshal, do you want money to fight? ”

Xiao Tienu didn't answer, and Lu Yanlun came out and said: "Lord Chen, I don't know how deep the foundation of the household is, but after two years of recuperation and recuperation, plus the smooth trade routes, the silver in the treasury is enough, right?" ”

"Not enough! Of course not enough! Even if it is enough in peacetime, it is not enough in one war! Chen Zhenghui said: "That's right, the country has been recuperating in the past two years, and the taxes have also been greatly increased after the opening of several trade routes, but all the gains have gone to fill the pits during the Northern Expedition!" So far, the money for the construction of the capital has not been repaid! We still owe a lot of money! ”

Lu Yanlun sneered and said: "Lord Chen keeps saying that the Northern Expedition is going to be the Northern Expedition, as if we are now mending the holes in the Northern Expedition, could it be that Lord Chen thinks that the Northern Expedition is wrong?" ”

This sentence is extremely vicious, Chen Zhenghui was about to answer, Yang Yingqi had already reprimanded Lu Yanlun and said: "Lord Lu! The move of the Northern Expedition was forced by the situation, and before the decision to go north, it was expected that there would be a big financial hole! You are in charge of military logistics, and others don't know this, don't you know it yet? It is already a great achievement for Lord Chen to be able to raise money and food in advance and make up the holes afterwards! Now we are talking about the battle in the south, let's talk about things, don't attack indiscriminately! ”

Lu Yanlun's face turned blue and red for a while when he was said, and Zhi Yanchong said: "What Ying Qi said is very true, everyone should talk about things, don't talk about it." ”

Lu Yanlun hurriedly pleaded guilty to the emperor, and then apologized to Chen Zhenghui, and then said: "Yanlun also knows that there are still arrears in the household department, but if I know well, the return of these arrears has already been customized, and it should be returned to the people in batches by a part of the country's annual income, right?" Chen Zhenghui should be, Lu Yanlun said: "Although the cost of the Northern Expedition is huge, and although the loan is large, it is divided into five to ten returns, even if interest is added, although the amount of each time is still very large in terms of quantity, it may not account for the majority of the revenue of the national treasury." Lord Chen, tell you the truth, does the money used by the household department to repay the arrears every year account for 10% of the total income of the state? Chen Zhenghui was silent, and Lu Yanlun asked again: "What about Bancheng?" Chen Zhenghui was silent again, and Lu Yanlun said: "If you don't even have half of it, why should Lord Chen use this matter of arrears from the Northern Expedition to hinder Your Majesty from completing the great cause of unification!" ”

These words were extremely powerful, and Chen Zhenghui couldn't refute them for a while, so he had to say: "When the war is together, the country's income will be affected." It is not yet known what will happen then. ”

Lu Yanlun heaved and said: "Lord Chen is right, it is really difficult to say what will happen to the war together, maybe the national tax will be affected, but it may also be because of this, it will not only not damage the national treasury, but there will be gains!" ”

Chen Zhenghui shouted: "How to do this accurately! ”

Lu Yanlun smiled and said: "The income that may not be there is not accurate, and the loss that Lord Chen said may not be accurate is also accurate!" ”

Yang Yingqi interjected: "When big countries fight, disasters and provocations will inevitably last for many years, and the use of troops over the years will cost the people and money, which has been the case since ancient times!" ”

Lu Yanlun didn't dare to answer, Xiao Tienu said lightly: "Old Seven, you don't understand the war!" To deal with Zhao Gou, it is not necessary to use troops for many years. Song is invincible to Liao, Liao is invincible to Jin, and Jin is invincible to Han! Although the small imperial court in Jiangnan is not small, it may be easier to fight than in Western Xia! ”

"No!" This time, it was Liu Qi in the ranks of military generals, and he only listened to him: "Although the Great Song Dynasty has the reputation of being weak, it was in the Jingkang period, when the Central Plains had not experienced war for a long time, and there were few available soldiers in the country except Shaanxi, so it was common for the Great Song Dynasty soldiers to be scattered by the Jin soldiers. But good soldiers are grinded out, and good generals are left over on the battlefield! It has been more than ten years since the city of Bianliang was broken, and in the past ten years, the weak generals of the Great Song Dynasty have been scattered or died seven or eight out of ten, and now most of the people who can survive are soldiers! Seeing that it can calm the Dongting Rebellion inside and break the Zongbi army outside, is it luck? Moreover, the Emperor of the Han and Song dynasties is divided into two surnames, the people are one family, and the soldiers of Qin, Jin, and Qilu are driven to the south of the Yangtze River and Huguang, which is tantamount to forcing the bloodline brothers to fight in the same room. ”

Qu Duan stood at Liu Qi's hand, and when he heard the words, he said: "General Liu has made great contributions, crowned by the generals, and the merits of General Liu in the army are not under the marshals, and the court and the central government have also had the discussion of sealing the marshal, in order to take the merits of Shaanxi to protect Shaanxi, resist Xia and destroy Xia, and ascend to the altar to be the commander, but it is enough." The juniors in the army have no opinion on General Liu's high position, but they also hope that General Liu will not block the road of meritorious service to the juniors! ”

Liu Qi frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" Feng Shuai's proposal, I and my brother have already signed a joint resignation, and now we are talking about the Song Dynasty, what are you doing with this matter? ”

"I'm not bringing up this matter for unreasonableness, it's just that this matter is related to the Song Dynasty!" Qu Duan rushed to Zheyan with a military salute and said: "Your Majesty, a soldier knows that he has made meritorious contributions to the country and raised his name for himself, and the banner is everywhere where the sword goes!" Blind dates of the same clan are ordinary rites, and even fathers, sons and brothers can't be taken care of on the battlefield, let alone the same clan? Among the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military laws, which one requires soldiers to worship their father on the battlefield? Now my Han is like the Japanese side, and the juniors in the army who have not had time to make meritorious contributions are all grinding their fists, and these people are strong in blood, if they can be guided to the outside, they can all be ten with one, but if they do not guide the catharsis, they are afraid that they will cause trouble. As His Majesty said when he was in Chang'an, if there is no appeasement today, the armor soldiers cannot be collected, and the generals cannot be hidden, otherwise when the soldiers are dull and old, Your Majesty will rule the world again, I am afraid that there will be no weakness! ”

Zhi Yanchong asked: "How many people in the army want to go to war?" ”

Guo Hao, the deputy envoy of the privy council and the secretary of the military department, muttered: "There are indeed people in the army who are looking forward to the war and making meritorious contributions, but there are also many people who are not happy to go south. Besides, the Song court has always been respectful to us, if we are not guilty, I am afraid that ...... I'm afraid some of the divisions are unknown. ”

Han Fang said: "Otherwise! As long as we are willing to look for it, there will always be the name of this teacher. ”

Yang Yingqi stood up and said: "The name you found is not a name, it's an excuse!" ”

Xiao Tienu also stood up and said, "As long as you can dominate the world, what if it's an excuse?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I'm not against unification, I just want to wait a little longer!" ”

Xiao Tienu asked rhetorically: "When will you wait?" Wait until we're all old to fight? Or wait until the prince, Lin Yu, and Xiao Jun are in charge before fighting? ”

The last sentence made Zhi Yanchong moved, got up and said: "What Tienu said is good! Our generation can suppress Zhao Gou so hard to turn over, not because we have more money than him, not because we have more people than him, but because we are brave and Zhao Gouwen is weak. But the next generation of these boys is too literate in my opinion, and it may be okay to keep it, but it may not be okay to be aggressive! It's not the best time to go to war, but the so-called best time may never come! The trend of self-interest, fleeting or lost! At the beginning, if Yelu Yanxi could destroy the Jurchens when the Jurchens were in the ascendant, there would be no Jin Kingdom in the world; If Emperor Aguta had made up his mind to destroy the Han Dynasty at that time, would we still be able to stand here calmly today and discuss the unification of the world? ”

Han Fang glanced at Chen Xian, and Chen Xian hurriedly said, "What Your Majesty said is very true. Only then did Han Fang attach to him and said, "Your Majesty is sage!" Guo Hao and Zhang Hao glanced at each other and agreed.

Over there, Liu Qi bowed his head and was silent, and Quduan Yelu Yu saw Ren Dejing and the others come out together: "The ministers are willing to serve the death force for Your Majesty to drive!" ”

Zhi Yan clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Then it's settled! ”

Suddenly, I heard Yang Yingqi shouting: "Wait! ”
