The perilous situation of the Great Song Dynasty was very similar to that of some later periods.

The same rich, the same weak.

There are strong polar bears (Liao) in the north, small tyrants such as Nanyue and Dali in the south, and evil and beautiful tyrants in the east have become fierce summers in the west. It is only because the sea power of this era is generally scum, the sea is difficult to conquer, and the Great Song Dynasty still has a slight advantage, so there is no major trouble at sea.

The sinister situation in China has never changed substantially, and later the strong enemies around it have not decreased, and strong overseas enemies have been added, which have become even more sinister.

This completely passive situation is the result of the selfishness and stupidity of the rulers and the limitations of history, as well as the serious lack of freedom and pioneering spirit and the courage to take risks under the policy of the supremacy of power and the foolish Republic of China.

The Liao people fought the "grass valley", and the border army stayed in the city.

The Song army did not dare to go to war for fear of death, and it was said that the war would affect the overall situation of good-neighborly, friendly, and diplomatic relations between the two countries.

When the Liao people came to burn, kill, loot, and do all the evil things they could, why didn't they worry about the overall situation of good-neighborliness and friendship?

This kind of thing, you unilaterally get energetic, there is a fart?

Useful is also counterproductive.

It's a ridiculous reason, but the Manchu Dynasty officials take it for granted and feel at ease. The Liao people also took it for granted and felt at ease.

If you protest, you will only protest, solemnly negotiate, when you fart, happy to step on a few words, unhappy, disdainful at all. How dare you? What can you do? But people rob you, beat you, and protest, regardless of the fact that other countries are big and small, and the country is strong and weak, and suddenly the magnates are shocked, and they vigorously declare and respond, using the best and the stupidest and most vain word games to show weakness.

If the people do not take a long look and ignore the "overall situation" and "collide" with international friends, no matter how small and reasonable the matter is, as long as the people protest a little, they will definitely severely punish the people and force them to admit their guilt and apologize.

No reason can hide the hypocritical and timid nature of the Great Song Dynasty. Failure to safeguard the dignity and safety of the people, no matter how rich the country is, the ruler is incompetent.

Uncle Yang is used to being a ruler.

The admiration of foreigners and flattery is the result of the selfish and foolish policies of generations of rulers.

Hugh blames the people for being spineless.

The Liao people also did not fight the cities where the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army was heavily stationed.

Maybe it was to thank the "friendly countries" for their generous cooperation in response, or maybe it was because they knew too well that as long as they did not endanger the safety of Song Guan, these pig opponents would not hinder them from doing anything. They committed crimes in the south, usually first riding around the city to intimidate, looking at the waste of the Song officials and Song army, provoking and teasing to be happy, and then entering the country to loot with confidence, and the murder was more ruthless and unscrupulous.

The Song army watched the Liao people attack and loot as if they were no one.

Hundreds of people filled the ravines in the fire, and their homes were looted and burned down.

In the smoke and smoke of the fire, the young women captives of the Great Song Dynasty were tied and strung together, or crying miserably, or their eyes were dull and numb, and their steps were staggering, following the side of Liao's horse.

The body of the little doll was picked up by Liao Qi to play with the gun, demonstrate, and warn.

The young man who was chasing and teasing the Liao cavalry struggled to escape with all his strength, and those who fell to the ground were trampled by the horse. The one who ran fast was caught up by the Liao riding a horse, forced to descend by the bloody scimitar, and meekly tied his hands into a string, and honestly went to Yandi as a slave, and the very few young men who did not listen or even dared to resist were cut off with a knife.

Zhao Yue got revenge, and was hugged by his father in the city and saw the tragic scenes in the world with his own eyes with a telescope.

His heart was stabbed and his eyes were torn.

There seems to be a flame burning in the eye.

Witnessing it with his own eyes, even if he was disgusted with the cowardice and insensitiveness of the Song people, even if these people were just NPCs to him, the natural compassion and material injuries of people deeply stimulated Zhao Yue's cold and paranoid heart.

Anger could not change anything, but it strengthened Zhao Yue's determination to severely punish the culprits at home and abroad and change the world pattern.

This time, the Liao army invaded the south, which lasted for more than two months, wantonly destroying and looting, causing huge losses to Cangzhou, until the heavy snow began to fly.

The people of Zhao Zhuang fought bravely, but with war horses, they would not be good at riding and fighting, and they really wanted to fight with the Liao army who came and went like the wind, but they lost their loyal and precious Zhao Zhuang in vain, adding sorrow to the Zhuang people, and in the end they could only be limited to saving those people in the areas near Hedong and Hexi, which did not help in the overall situation.

The Cangzhou disaster has passed, but the sheep nightmare hidden in Zhao Yue's heart has been restarted.

The skyrocketing anger weighed on his psyche.

When the elder brother once again looked for Zhao Yue's theory for Confucianism, and wanted to enlighten and educate the younger brother to be loyal to the monarch, patriotic and respectful of Confucius, etc., Zhao Yue, who had been ignoring his brother, did not control it for a while this time, and it broke out violently.

Grandma's house.

Zhao Yue, who was smiling and silent, stared at his brother who had high hopes, listened to the chatter of small words, suddenly put away his smile, and said indifferently: "Please, please speak to people." What you said, why can't the little brother understand. ”

Zhao Lian froze, his face turned red instantly, and he was very angry.

Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faithfulness and benevolence are the principles he abides by.

The younger brother is disrespectful to the elder brother, even insulting, and violates the principles he adheres to, which he cannot tolerate. But the same is true of this. The younger brother is too young. Even if the younger brother is really a prodigy and has superhuman intelligence, he actually understands everything. Zhao Lian will not lose his demeanor and friendship and tolerance.

Can't scold, can't beat, Zhao Lian helplessly looked at his grandmother and mother. But the two closest elders talked and laughed at themselves, and didn't seem to care about the contradictions between the two brothers at all.

Zhao Yue, who was angry, had a poisonous tongue attack, but no matter how embarrassed and helpless his brother was, and no matter whether his brother really cared for him, he pointed to Wangcai, the housekeeper dog who was shaking his head and tail and playing with him, and asked coldly: "Brother, you see that the dog is hungry, you read poems and tell it the truth, why does it still call for food?" ”

"You"

Zhao Lian's face turned even redder, feeling that his younger brother was arguing, but he couldn't find a strong reason to refute the criticism for a while.

Although he is born with political sensitivity and some necessary political qualities, he is still far from being a good official compared to those high-ranking officials and Confucians.

Zhao Yue ignored his brother's nest fire, reached out and threw a piece of meat and bone to the dog, and said indifferently: "Look, why doesn't it bark?" ”

Are you still trying to get you?

Zhao Lian suppressed the fire, tried to maintain his demeanor, and said with a pleasant face: "Little brother, what you say and what I say can be the same thing?" ”

Zhao Yue immediately rushed over: "You don't understand what I'm saying?" ”

"Doesn't my brother want to be a good official who is loyal to the king, loves the country and loves the people? So let me tell you. ”

"From ancient times to the present, what have the common people cared about?"

The answer is simple.

Zhao Lian opened his mouth to say, but swallowed it back, and asked his younger brother: "What do you say you care about?" ”

He didn't want to be taken into the ditch again.

Zhao Yue touched the dog that was happily eating meat, and his voice returned to indifference: "Of course there are only two things, eating and sex." ”

"Eat to survive. Sex is continuation. It's a life instinct. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no exception. ”

"Brother thinks that if a person can speak, he is not an animal? There is no essential difference between humans and animals. ”

Without waiting for his brother to refute this "strange theory", Zhao Yue patted the dog hair on his little hand, jumped off the chair, walked to the door, opened the door, looked at the fluttering snow outside the door, and sighed softly: "The home was destroyed, and I don't know how many victims are grieving and crying in the cold storm and snow, bereaving relatives and friends, and having no food and clothing. ”

Turning his head to look at his brother: "Why didn't my brother use Kong Sheng's words to help them?" Why didn't your loyal monarch and respected noble Confucian brave the wind and snow to help the victims? Their homes are very spacious, and they have a lot of food and clothing, so why don't they take care of the victims who provide for them? ”

Zhao Lian was embarrassed, his face was even redder, and he was speechless. Zhao Yue was furious.

"Daddy Uncle Liu, they are leading people to brave the cold to adopt orphans and widows, arranging for the victims to live in Cuijiabao, helping to build shelters from snow, and working hard to send clothes, food, salt and even dishes and chopsticks. And all these abilities are brought by me, and they are the blood and sweat of all the villagers, including grandmothers and mothers. ”

"What's the use of what you babble about? What is the use of your wish to be loyal to the monarch and love the country and the people? What can you do for the world without relying on home support? ”

"Teach people to learn when they are hungry, and keep the festival in the air?"

"What you have learned is reasonable, and it is difficult to refute the rhetoric. In your eyes, the sacrosanct saint and the subtle righteousness are the supreme truth of heaven and earth? ”

"Is it a political philosophy, a social philosophy, or a philosophy of technology? Can it guide social progress, social fairness, and people's livelihood happiness, or can it enrich the country and strengthen the army and stabilize the world? Does it have a hairy use? ”

"Scholars study history, study, exaltate, distort, preach, and emphasize the words of the sages, but for the sake of how to become officials, how to become great officials, but to use word games to control and fool the people more effectively. Even if you are a clean official and a famous minister, in the end, it is not for the sake of the so-called overall interests of the country, and you consciously have a clear conscience, but in fact, you are openly exploiting the people and sacrificing the happiness and dignity of the people? ”

"Please figure it out. All people are the same life, and they come to this world for happiness, not for sin. Do the people live to endure suffering and provide sacrifices? ”

"You are also from the common people, are you willing to live like this? We Zhao Zhuang were unwilling, so we resisted. You can get away, but why should you ask the people to pay? Just because they are not the son of the owner, they are not as smart as you? ”

"The infinitely elevated and distorted moral code passed down by Confucius and Mencius and others can't do it himself, and the immortals who don't eat or drink can't do it, and people who work hard and struggle for survival can listen to it? Can a mortal layman with a full body do it? ”

"No one can do it. What do you do? ”

"You will inevitably become compromised and sophisticated, saying one thing, doing another, and not changing, you are the waste husband rejected by the world. In the end, he could only be angry, stumbling on the ground, guarding the empty ideal and dying of anger. ”

The old grandmother and Zhang stopped laughing, looked at the restless and angry villain, and were moved.
