Chapter 799: Destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in One Fell Swoop (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
The generalissimo of the world!
Dominate the soldiers and horses!
Hearing these two words, not only were the civil and military officials stunned, but even Yue Fei showed a look of disbelief!
This is not to blame Yue Fei and others for being so shocked, it is really the title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" is so powerful and domineering!
The actual duty of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is to lead the military affairs of a country and be responsible for recruiting strong enemies.
In other words, the authority of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is equivalent to the number one commander of the army - the absolute number one, under one person, above ten thousand!
Throughout history, since the term marshal was used in the spring period, various generalissimos have appeared on the stage of history, such as "marching marshal", "marshal of the western army", "marshal of the unified army" and so on.
And the most powerful of them is the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses".
Throughout history, only a few people have received the title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", such as Li Heng of Tang Suzong and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, and even Guo Ziyi, who once pacified the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty and had the "grace of rebuilding the Tang Dynasty", is only the "Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses".
Moreover, what Zhao Gou got was not actually the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", but the position of "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses", and his position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" was self-appointed.
As early as the first southern invasion of the Jin army, a minister of the Northern Song Dynasty suggested that "please take the prince as the marshal and govern the army in Heshuo".
How can a prince pawn a soldier?
When Zhao Huan heard this, he had a black line on his face at that time, and the matter finally came to an end.
The Jin army made a comeback, and after crossing the Yellow River in the south, there were courtiers who brought up the old things again, and before Zhao Huan could make a decision, the Jin army had already attacked under the city of Bianliang.
The Jin people attacked the city fiercely, and the minister Hu Tang was sparse, and the clouds: "The city is in danger." King Kang's northern envoy was not allowed to enter for the people of Heshuo, and it was also the will of heaven. Please bow to the generalissimo and summon the world's troops to help. ”
At that time, some ministers raised objections, thinking that the reward was too heavy, and it was still difficult to use the word "big"!
Zhao Huan also did not express his position.
Hu Tang Lao said: "Since you are stingy with a "big" word, how can you expect King Kang to lead the soldiers and horses to King Qin loyally?" ”
Under the efforts of Hu Tanglao, under the threat of the imminent destruction of the country and the death of the family, Zhao Huan reluctantly added a "big" word to Zhao Gou, making Zhao Gou the "generalissimo of soldiers and horses", and then, Zhao Huan, who was eager to raise troops in Xiangzhou, Zhao Huan, in order to act cheaply, ordered someone to bring a wax pill secret edict to Zhao Gou, which read, "Zhiqing uprising King Qin, can be removed from the generalissimo of Qing soldiers and horses, Marshal Chen Hengbo, Wang Boyan, Deputy Marshal Zongze." should be dismissed and acted from cheaply. ”
If you carefully read the secret edict written by Zhao Huan to Zhao Gou, you will find that it does not mention Zhao Gou as the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" at all, but appoints Zhao Gou as the "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses".
Later, Zhao Gou's staff proposed: "Wangwang follows the story, undertakes the system with the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and calls on the Quartet." Zhao Gou added the word "world" privately.
Don't underestimate the word "world".
With these two words, Zhao Gou could get rid of his disadvantageous situation at that time, learn from the story of Tang Suzong's Lingwu, and call on the troops of the Quartet Qinwang in the name of "the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses".
Moreover, with this disguise, Zhao Gou enhanced the legitimacy and appeal of his status, laying a solid foundation for his accession to the throne and becoming the king.
Later, when Zhao Gou ascended the throne, there were indeed clans who questioned the legitimacy of Zhao Gou's accession to the throne on the grounds that "Emperor An of the former Jin Dynasty was covered with dust, and the general King Wuling acted in accordance with the system and did not change the Yuan".
Zhao Gou's henchmen held high the precedent of Tang Suzong ascending the throne as the "generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses" to forcefully refute it, and finally succeeded in ascending the throne and establishing the Southern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" is not trivial, and generally non-princes who want to ascend the throne as emperors cannot hold it.
Moreover, even if he is a prince, he does not hold it when the country is in peace and security, and can only serve when the country is at its most critical.
And Yue Fei is neither a prince, nor is the current Dazhong a critical time, so Li Yan named Yue Fei as the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", which really shocked Yue Fei and others!
After the shock, Yue Fei faced the direction of Tokyo, bowed three times, and then said to Zhu Wu: "Yue Fei knows that the official family trusts Yue Fei, and Yue Fei is allowed to temporarily move all the soldiers and horses in Dazhong, but this position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", Yue Fei really didn't dare to accept it, and begged the prime minister to help Yue Fei intercede with the official family and ask the official family to take back the word "world"!" ”
Hearing what Yue Fei said, Zhu Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, Yue Fei didn't make a mistake this time!" ”
Zhu Wu then said noncommittally: "The official family gave you the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", because he wanted to remove all external interference for you, and he could go all out to cut down the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
Although Zhu Wu explained the reason why Li Yanfeng gave Yue Fei the title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", and also explained that this was a temporary position, Yue Fei still insisted: "Even so, the "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses" is enough for Yue Fei, and I also ask the Prime Minister to resign the word "world" for Yue Fei!" ”
Zhu Wu looked at Yue Fei for a while and said, "Do you really want to resign from the word "world"? This is the supreme honor of a military general. ”
Yue Fei said loudly: "The sky is a lesson, if Yue Fei has a word, he is willing to die on the battlefield with random arrows piercing his heart!" ”
When Zhu Wu heard this, he completely believed Yue Fei, and then said: "Okay, then Zhu Wu will resign the word "world" for you!" ”
……
At night.
Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong picked up the dust for Zhu Wu, the old chief.
At this time, Zhu Wu had already sent someone back to the imperial court to resign the word "world" for Yue Fei.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Wu said: "Pengju, you did the right thing today, do you know that the official family wants to give you the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", how many people oppose it?" ”
Yue Fei said: "I'm afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are against it, right?" ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "You guessed right, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not agree to give you the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses"...... But in order to let you go all out to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, the official family still withstood all the pressure and made you the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses". ”
Yang Yizhong said: "The official family personally established the Chinese army, personally commanded the troops to fight in the south and the north, and personally led the troops to pacify Yanyun, Goryeo, Japan and other places. ”
After a pause, Yang Yizhong said again: "However, even if the official family appoints the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", it will never have any impact on the official family, whoever dares to touch the official family, no matter who he is, must ask me if Yang Yizhong and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the world's first army agree!" ”
Zhu Wu is a lot of people, how can he not hear it, Yang Yizhong's words have the intention of warning Yue Fei?
Yue Fei also heard Yang Yizhong's warning, but Yue Fei had a clear conscience, so he said very calmly: "You also have to ask me if Yue Fei agrees!" ”
Zhu Wu pulled the words back and said: "With the prestige of the official family now, the appointment of the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" naturally has no impact on the official family, but for Pengju, the impact can be great. ”
Without waiting for Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong to ask in detail, Zhu Wu continued: "Our Dazhong Dynasty is not like the Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature over martial arts, but the psychological superiority of literati has been cultivated by the Song Dynasty, how can it be completely changed in such a short time?" Therefore, if you really dare to take over the post of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", you will definitely become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not deal with you like they did with General Mian Ni, and at that time, even if there are officials to protect you, I am afraid that you may no longer be able to take charge of the army. ”
When Yue Fei heard this, his face showed a look of fear, and said: "Yue Fei really didn't think about it so much, Yue Fei just felt that it was inappropriate for Yue Fei to serve as the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", and this position could only be held by the prince when the world was in danger, so he resolutely resigned from the word "world". ”
Yang Yizhong took a sip of wine, and then said: "Those literati are really likely to do such a thing, but it's a pity that a big hero like General Mian Ni didn't die on the battlefield, but died under the tongue of the literati, sad, lamentable!" ”
Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "Actually, not only the literati, but also the martial artists, including me and the prime minister, do not agree to give you the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses". ”
After a pause, Zhu Wu looked at Yue Fei and said, "Originally, the position of this proclamation was not held by me, but later, after repeated requests from the prime minister, the official family agreed to let me take this position...... Pengju, do you know why the prime minister insisted that I come to proclaim the decree? ”
Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Yue Fei doesn't know. ”
Zhu Wu's expression was solemn, and he said: "Now I might as well tell you that if you really accept the position of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", the cardinal will strongly recommend me as the Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and then I will control you. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Wu paused, and then said word by word: "If this is the case, I will definitely keep an eye on you and not give you the slightest chance to overstep!" ”
When Yue Fei heard this, cold sweat flowed out instantly!
Zhu Wu looked at Yue Fei for a while, and then said: "Now is the best, everyone in the world has seen the importance of the official family, and no one should dare to resist your transfer anymore, and you have also kept your duty as a courtier, and took the initiative to resign from the word "world", this is the best ending." ”
Hearing this, Yue Fei shook his head, and then said: "This is not the end, but the beginning, the official family withstood such great pressure to give Yue Fei so much power, it was to let Yue Fei destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and complete the unification of the official family, Yue Fei could not live up to the imperial grace of the official family no matter what." ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "If you can say such a thing, I will rest assured, and I will return to Beijing tomorrow to restore the decree." ”
Yue Fei hurriedly said: "I also begged Xianggong to stay and help Yue Fei!" ”
When Zhu Wu heard this, he said noncommittally: "Oh? How do you think I can help you? ”
Yue Fei said in his heart: "Although the official family handed over all the soldiers in the world to Yue Fei to command, Yue Fei is young after all, and his qualifications in the army are not deep enough, so it is inevitable that some generals will despise Yue Fei, and then disobey him." ”
After a pause, Yue Fei said again: "Yue Fei's personal honor and disgrace are irrelevant, I'm afraid that they will delay the unification plan of the official family." ”
Then, Yue Fei looked at Zhu Wu and said very sincerely: "So, please also ask the cardinal minister to help Yue Fei!" ”
Why did Li Yan insist on giving Yue Fei the title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses"?
It was because Li Yan knew better than anyone that if he didn't do this, it would be difficult for Yue Fei to make all the troops listen to him.
There are too many reasons for this, including what Yue Fei said, the issue of age and qualifications, and there are other reasons.
For example, the land and water armies have always been clearly divided between the Chu River and the Han River, and they are not subordinate to each other.
For example, there are many soldiers and officials who are Li Yan's old brothers who followed Li Yan when he was the king of Liangshan.
Like, some generals and officials are Li Yan's brother-in-law, or even Li Yan's father-in-law.
Wait, wait, wait......
Therefore, Li Yancai gave Yue Fei the post of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", wanting to minimize internal friction as much as possible.
And Yue Fei left Zhu Wu with this move, which was too clever.
What Yue Fei lacks, such as age, qualifications, and merits, Zhu Wu has them all.
Moreover, Zhu Wu is easy-going, very popular, and gets along very well with whomever he wants, the key is that he is the minister of the ruler, therefore, most people have to give Zhu Wu a few thin noodles, so if Zhu Wu helps Yue Fei coordinate the armies, it will definitely save Yue Fei a lot of effort.
The most rare thing is that Zhu Wu doesn't like to take power, which will not hinder Yue Fei's decision.
All in all, if Zhu Wu can stay and help Yue Fei, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to Yue Fei.
Zhu Wu is easy-going, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Wu doesn't have ideals, especially when Dazhong is about to complete the unification, how can he not want to do his part for the unification of Dazhong?
Therefore, Zhu Wu did not pretend to shirk, but said bluntly: "If you are really willing to keep me, I am willing to join forces with you to ask the official family to allow me to stay with you." - Zhu Wu used the words "you here" to show that he would not hinder Yue Fei's position.
When Yue Fei heard this, he immediately said: "Yue Fei has no reason to be unwilling, let's jointly give the official family a fold now!" ”
Yue Fei said that he would do it, and immediately ordered someone to get pen and ink, and then jointly signed a letter with Zhu Wu to Li Yan, begging Li Yan to let Zhu Wu stay with Yue as his deputy!
Yue Fei and Zhu Wu both have great confidence in Li Yan, and believe that Li Yan will definitely approve their invitation.
Therefore, as soon as the fold was written, Zhu Wu entered the role of deputy and asked Yue Fei, "Does the marshal have a plan?" ”
Yue Fei said: "Xianggong, don't make fun of Yue Fei, Yue Fei deserves the title of "handsome" in front of others, how can he still be worthy of the title of "handsome" in front of Xianggong, Xianggong is still called Yue Feipengju." ”
While saying this, Yue Fei led Zhu Wu to the edge of the map and the sand table, and then said: "I am now using psychological warfare to break the will of the Song army to resist, before the arrival of Xianggong, Lu Yihao, who was stationed in Jiangning, had already sent his cousin Lu Yingwen to meet me, saying that he was willing to lead his soldiers and horses to serve our Dazhong, and he was also willing to help us plot against Liu Guangshi." ”
When Zhu Wu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "If this matter can be done, then it will be Your Majesty Heavenly Help!" ”
Yang Yizhong said: "If it weren't for the Miao Liu mutiny, the Southern Song Dynasty might still have a little chance of not perishing, and now, the Southern Song Dynasty should be in a catastrophe." ”
Yue Fei said: "The more this is the case, the more we can't be careless." ”
Zhu Wu agreed with Yue Fei and said: "Yes, such a once-in-a-lifetime heaven-sent opportunity may never come again, so we must destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop." ”
Yue Fei said: "I see the same thing as the hero of Xianggong. ”
Zhu Wu asked, "What specific plans do you have?" ”
Yue Fei used a charcoal pen to circle an area in the western part of Jingnan on the map, and said, "This is Li Cheng's occupation area. Then he circled an area below, and said, "This is the occupied area of Zhong Xiangyi's army." After that, he pointed to Dali and said, "This is Dali." ”
After enclosing these three areas with a charcoal pen, Yue Fei took out dozens of small flags and placed them on the map one by one, and then said: "Let's see the opportunity and send troops in these areas at the same time, except for the occupied area of Li Cheng, the occupied area of the Chuan Xiang Righteous Army, and the Dali Kingdom, and restore the southeast region in one fell swoop......
