Wu Song said: "As the adults said, Wu Song is just a nobody in Qinghe County, and his talents are shallow, I really don't know why the adults treat Wu Song so well, and please tell the adults!" ”

Gao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, since this official appreciates you, he naturally wants to be honest with you." Let me ask you first, my Great Song Dynasty originally had a million soldiers and 800,000 forbidden troops, but today's officials still have the approval of the imperial pen, asking this official to form a specially selected forbidden army. Wu Song, do you know why? ”

Wu Song said: "This is a military secret, Wu Song doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to investigate!" ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "Very good." It can be seen that you know the proportion, and it makes the official like it one more layer. Saying that, Gao Yu suddenly sighed, his face was worried, and said: "Wu Song, in your Qinghe County, do you also have such a proverb, called 'gold and jade are outside, and you are ruined in it'?" ”

Wu Song said: "Wu Song has heard this. I don't know what the adults are referring to? ”

Gao Yu said: "What I am referring to is my army of the Great Song Dynasty. On the surface, there are millions of soldiers, and the generals are as handsome as clouds, and the imperial court raises troops every year, which costs a lot of money. However, bribery in the army is like child's play, the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, and the military discipline is lax. With the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty, the economy is the most prosperous and rich, but the border passes use troops, and there are many defeats and few victories. Because of the many shortcomings in the army, the military attaché is afraid of death, and the civilian official is greedy for money. ”

When Wu Song heard this, he suddenly remembered that before he crossed over, he had traveled to Hangzhou, and in Yue Fei's temple, he saw a sentence called "Wenchen does not love money, Wuchen does not hesitate to die, and the world is peaceful", which is Yue Fei's heartfelt words and grief and indignation when he felt the serious corruption of the Song Dynasty at that time.

According to historical records, this was Yue Fei's repeated military exploits at that time, and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong planned to build a mansion for him in the capital, which was not only a reward, but also a woo, and wanted Yue Fei to be content with the status quo, so as not to be too active in the Northern Expedition, to welcome back the captured Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, so that Zhao Gou, the emperor, was not easy to do. But Yue Fei obviously ignored Zhao Gou's painstaking efforts, but insisted: "The enemy has not been destroyed yet, why should I seek my own home?" ”

Yue Fei's words were tantamount to slapping Song Gaozong Zhao Gou in the face, which not only rejected Zhao Gou's kindness, but also made Zhao Gou feel that Yue Fei was satirizing his intention to favor the south. Zhao Gou was very unhappy in his heart. Zhao Gou asked Yue Fei, how can the world be peaceful?

Yue Fei said: "Wenchen doesn't love money, Wuchen doesn't hesitate to die, and the world is peaceful." This sentence is tantamount to criticizing Zhao Gou's rule, the civil officials are corrupt, and the military attaches are afraid of death, which not only shows that the officialdom is dark, but also shows that Zhao Gou, the emperor, has no way to rule, so Zhao Gou is even more unhappy. I was afraid that at that time, I had the heart to kill Yue Fei.

Although Yue Fei is loyal and patriotic, and he is sincere in front of Song Gaozong, he can't stand Song Gaozong's thick face and black heart.

Now, Gao Yu also bluntly said that today's military attaches in the Great Song Dynasty are afraid of death, and civil officials are greedy for money, it seems that what Yue Fei said back then is the truth. At the same time, this also shows that the rule of officials in the Song Dynasty was already rotten in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if the Northern Song Dynasty perished and experienced the pain of losing the country, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still the military attachés who were afraid of death and the civil officials who were greedy for money, and it did not change much.

Such tragedies have been repeated in later generations. For example, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, even if the enemy had already invaded the city, the officials in the court still fought endlessly. Even if the Qing soldiers entered the customs and the Ming Dynasty had fallen, the small Ming Dynasty in the south still bribed the public bank, and the habits of the officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy and corrupt did not change at all, which eventually led to the complete demise of the Ming Dynasty.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, it was still like this. The great powers are eyeing each other, the court is still extremely corrupt, and officials at all levels are still military attaches who are afraid of death, and civil officials love money.

The Qing Dynasty fell, and when it came to the Republic of China, how could it not be like this. The Japanese invaded, and the Kuomintang officials were still singing and dancing. "If you don't fight corruption, you will lose your country; Fight corruption, destroy the party. It was with such helplessness that the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan. And after arriving in Taiwan, even if they have been hunted down by the Democratic Progressive Party and are dying, the top level is still fighting for insiders and outsiders.

This may be the root cause of the inferiority of some Chinese people, which has simply penetrated into the bone marrow and cannot be changed!

Wu Song's thoughts flew a little far. Gao Yu's words pulled him back again. I saw Gao Yu's face worried, and continued: "Now, I have Western Xia, Liao, and Jin in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and Tubo and Dali in the southwest are also strong enemies. Our Great Song Dynasty had a prosperous economy, and it was especially vulnerable to being coveted by the enemy. If the armament is lax and the army does not know how to fight, then the richer the Great Song Dynasty, the more like a big fat sheep, which may face the slaughter of others at any time. Hey, the thought of it keeps me awake at night! ”

Gao Yu was originally extraordinary. At this time, it is even more righteous and awe-inspiring to make such a statement of concern for the country and the people. If it weren't for the modern youth who had crossed over, who had already read history books and knew that Gao Yu was actually one of the famous traitors in history, Wu Song would have been confused by him and regarded Gao Yu as a model of caring for the people and being loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

Gao Yu knew that Wu Song was a man of chivalry, so he naturally hoped to use his own posture to make Wu Song useful to him. It's a pity that Wu Song has seen through his true colors.

Wu Song not only saw through Gao Yu's true face, but also, from Gao Yu's words, he also had a deeper understanding of the Great Song Dynasty that he had crossed over.

This Great Song Dynasty is one of the most lovely Great Song Dynasty, with a large number of outstanding people such as Su Shi and Li Qingzhao, who are economically rich and culturally prosperous, and have left an extremely glorious page in the history of China's cultural development.

However, this Great Song Dynasty is also the most dangerous Great Song Dynasty, internally, there are all kinds of social crises that Wu Song felt in Qinghe County, including serious land annexation, local tyranny and coercion, grassroots governance failure, and deep-rooted official corruption; Externally, there are strong enemies such as Xia, Liao, and Jin, which can be called internal and external troubles.

Obviously, high-ranking officials like Gao Yu and Cai Jing, who are trusted by the current emperor, are actually very sober. If they were really loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and could sincerely implement the reform of the law, rectify the rule of officials, and reorganize the armament, the Great Song Dynasty would not necessarily be without salvation.

It's a pity that these people are sanctimonious, but in fact, they are all traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people!

Perhaps, as a traverser, to save the Great Song Dynasty, so that the people will no longer suffer, and the Chinese civilization will not encounter the heroes in history, Wu Song should take advantage of the situation, replace Gao Yu and Cai Jing, and be a great hero who changes the trend of history and turns the tide!

Gao Yu naturally didn't know what Wu Song really thought in his heart at this time, and saw that Wu Song didn't speak, but said that he listened carefully, so he continued: "Although Gao Yu is not talented, he is deeply favored by the emperor. Therefore, I suggested to today's officials, asking for the approval of the royal pen in person, and then forming a special guard forbidden army, to create a strong army that can really fight well, and to set a model for the 800,000 forbidden army of our Great Song Dynasty! This is the origin of the specially selected forbidden army! ”
