Chapter 224: The Establishment of Jianyan (II)
After the establishment of the Zhao regime in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were differences in the top level of the Jin army on how to carry out the military strategy in the future.
Since the Jin army had already gained abundant manpower and financial resources in this attack on the Song Dynasty, and the strength of the Jin army had greatly increased, the radicals of the Jin army's Eastern Route Army believed that the focus of the strategy should be refocused on the Han Dynasty, and the Han Department should be eliminated first and then the world should be swept away. These people think that Yourong Han is like raising a tiger, and if they don't eradicate the Han first, Dajin will die sooner or later.
However, the two southern invasions have made the Jin army see that the Song Dynasty was large and weak, and the Jin army attacked all the way to the past, except for some resistance in front of the Shaanxi soldiers, the Song people were basically defeated in one blow in other battlefields, and the rewards obtained after defeating the Great Song Dynasty were extremely high; On the contrary, the Han army is small but strong, the Jin army has not received any tangible benefits from the two southern invasions before and after, and the second time it has paid quite serious casualties, and many people believe that even if the Jinmen is finally captured, the Han will probably burn the Jinmen with a fire like they gave up Liaokou at the beginning, so they will pay a great price and get nothing! Therefore, the view of this faction is that Zhao Gou should be destroyed first, and a puppet regime should be re-established to rule the area south of the Yellow River, and then the Han should be dealt with all the strength of the world - after all, the power of the Han is limited to the East China Sea, and if Dajin can get the entire Central Plains, then the coastal restrictions should be set at that time, so that the Han can not be supplemented by the mainland's human and financial resources, then the destruction of the Han will be just around the corner!
The former point of view is to consider the problem from the perspective of life and death, and the latter point of view is to consider the problem from the cost performance of the invasion of the Song Dynasty and the destruction of the Han Dynasty, the current situation is of great benefit to the Jin army, so the so-called "life and death" theory is too much for most people, in their opinion, the first peace of the Song Dynasty or the first to destroy the Han, the final difference is just that the pace of Dajin's domination of the world is smooth or not very smooth.
Even Zong Wang slowly leaned towards the second point of view, he believed that the Han army must be destroyed, but the conditions for exterminating the Han were not yet ripe: as far as the internal conditions were concerned, since most of the people in the army thought that it was better to first level the Song and then destroy the Han, it might make it impossible for the Jin army to unite when attacking the Han army, and if the army was going well, it would be fine, if it didn't, the Jin army might give up halfway due to split opinions as it did in the last attack on Liaokou; As far as external conditions are concerned, Dajin has not yet occupied an absolute advantage over the Han Ministry, once a full-scale war with the Han Ministry, this war will not only have to pour the strength of Dajin into the whole country, but also will be protracted for a long time, and what kind of results can be achieved in the end, Zongwang has no bottom in his heart. Therefore, after weighing all the conditions, he tended to destroy the Great Song Dynasty first, widen the gap between the Jin army and the Han army in terms of strength, and then move his troops to the east.
However, after the general strategy of the Song Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was decided, there was a disagreement between the eastern and western armies on how to attack the Song Dynasty. The Western Route Army advocated taking Shaanxi first, because they believed that "only the Western soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty could fight", and once Shaanxi was obtained, the destruction of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty would be just around the corner; The Eastern Route Army advocated chasing Zhao Gou first, because the Zhao clan was the spiritual pillar that maintained the resistance of the Song people, and once the Song dynasty was destroyed, the guards of the Great Song Dynasty would lose their reason to continue to hold on.
The propositions of the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army have their own reasons and selfish motives: if they attack Shaanxi first, then after encompassing Shaanxi and Hedong, Zong Han will not only increase his strength greatly, but also the dominance of the Jin Army's conquest will also be in the hands of the Western Route Army; Similarly, if Zhao Gou was attacked first, it would be more beneficial to the development of the Eastern Route Army.
The two factions disputed, asked for the money master, Wu begged to weigh left and right, and finally came up with a harmonious idea: the Eastern Route Army continued to attack the Song Dynasty, and the Western Route Army mapped Shaanxi, but the whole army mainly attacked the Song Dynasty, so the Western Route Army should allocate a part of its forces to help the Eastern Route Army pursue Zhao Gou and disintegrate the Southern Song Dynasty regime. Of course, Zong Han was not satisfied with this result, but although his title was higher than that of Zong Wang and Zong Wang's successor Zong Fu, Erfang's comprehensive strength in the country, including politics, military, and rank, was still stronger than him, so he had to compromise in the end.
The struggle between the top leaders of the Jin Army lasted until after Zong Wang's death, and Zhao Gou couldn't figure out the edge at this time, Yang Yingqi grasped the general situation through the judgment of the situation on all sides, and people like Wen Tiaoyu at the bottom of the society couldn't understand anything - in their eyes, those Jin soldiers, whether they were the East Route Army or the West Route Army, were a close family.
On this day, the northward migration brigade finally entered Yanjing, when Wen Tiaoyu entered Yanjing, it was the consumption carnival season of Yanjing, and the golden soldiers who returned from victory all threw out gold, silver and jewelry, and bought all kinds of strange and obscene things from the hands of Han merchants, so the scene was very lively when Wen Tiaoyu entered the city.
The day after Wen Tiaoyu entered the city, an official came to give an order, let Wen Tiaoyu freshen up and bathe, and prepare to dance for the princes and generals in the evening. Wen Tiaoyu refused on the spot, saying that she would not dare to dance without the permission of the third general, and if the second prince and the fourth prince continued to force, she would have to cut off her toes to make her will.
The official who sent the order was an old minister of the late Liao, and he was also a Sven man who had read books and tested his fame, and he was respectful when he saw Wen Tiaoyu's strength, and persuaded: "This is the second prince's banquet of the generals, and he will return victorious." If you insist on not going, and disturb the fun, I am afraid that the disaster will be not small. Besides, I heard that the general will also attend tonight, so you should dance for the general, and it is expected that the three generals will not be blamed when they return to Liaokou. ”
Wen Tiaoyu's heart moved, and he asked, "Will the general also attend?" ”
The official said, "I heard that it will." ”
Wen Tiaoyu pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, if the general will also attend, then I'll go." After thinking about it, he said, "But I need to be dressed up for this dance, and I also need to be accompanied by a master musician." ”
When the official saw that she agreed to perform, he was overjoyed and said: "The outfits that Dajin took from Bianliang are even the clothes of the queen and princess!" Just pick it up! As for Legong, it's up to you to choose! ”
Wen Tiaoyu said: "Please go to the outhouse and sit down, I will change my clothes and go with you to pick out clothes and meet musicians." After the official went out, Wen Tiaoyu hurriedly found Zhou Xiaochang and told him that he might see the general tonight, and asked him what he needed to do. Zhou Xiaochang was frightened and hurriedly went out to find Hanbu's secret son in Yanjing.
Zhou Xiaochang is an important chess piece arranged by the Han Ministry in Bianliang, and his disappearance is a big matter for the Han Ministry's secret subsystem, so the Han Ministry's intelligence system is very concerned about this matter. When Zhou Xiaochang arrived in Xingzhou, he had conveyed the news of his return to the north of the Jin army through a businessman, so the branch of the Han Ministry of Intelligence in Tanggu knew that Zhou Xiaochang might have arrived in Yanjing, and there were secret messages to contact him everywhere in the city. Zhou Xiaochang searched for these codes and found Zhao Deng, who was in charge of Yanjing's intelligence affairs. Zhao Deng was also very embarrassed when he heard about it: first, this matter was too big, and he couldn't make the decision with his level; Second, this matter is too urgent, not to mention asking for instructions from Jinmen, even if you ask for instructions from Tanggu, it will be too late!
The two discussed for a long time, and Zhou Xiaochang asked, "Have we ever organized an operation to rescue the general?" ”
Zhao Deng said: "Of course there is!" Last time, the second general personally led people to attack the Jin people on the way back, in order to rob the general, you haven't heard of it in the Jin team? ”
Zhou Xiaochang asked the time clearly, and said in his heart: "It turns out that it was the second general's people!" Then he asked, "But I have heard in the gold camp that the robbery was carried by a convoy of gold and silver." I heard that this time, the Jin people asked for a small part of the property from the Song court were robbed by this raiding team. Some people said that this team came to welcome back the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, so I didn't think of going there for a while. ”
Zhao Deng said: "It's true that the second general got a lot of gold and silver, but it was a mistake to hit the deputy car." As for welcoming back the Second Emperor, it was a smokescreen that we released afterwards, so as not to embarrass the general for the Jin people. Alas, the attack would have been well calculated. It's a pity that the second general didn't find the location of the general! ”
Zhou Xiaochang's heart moved: "The second general can't find the location of the great general?" I've got an idea! ”
Zhao Deng asked what he had in mind, and Zhou Xiaochang said: "I run a Qilin restaurant in Bianliang, and I have a lot of dealings with courtesans and the like, and I have studied all kinds of spices, and I know that there are several types of spices that are dark fragrances, and ordinary people can't smell them, only some children of families with extremely sensitive noses who have been immersed in the fat powder pile for many years can smell it." I don't know if Yan Jing can find this spice at this moment, if we can find it, maybe we can take the opportunity to dedicate it to the general, which may be helpful the next time we rescue the general. ”
Zhao Deng said: "In the spice business, the Chen family is a big proprietor, I don't expect it to be difficult to get this kind of dark incense, but will it be useful?" Could it be that the next time we rescue the general, we will go to find a few children of the family to smell this spice? ”
Zhou Xiaochang laughed when he heard this: "Zhao Deng, Zhao Deng, how can you be smart and confused for a while!" What kind of family children are used? Wouldn't it be better to use a hound? ”
Zhao Deng patted his head and shouted: "Confused! I'm confused! I'll arrange for that, and you'll talk to the courtesan over there, and ask her to try to offer spices as much as she can. ”
