"Destroy the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Li Yan's perception of women has completely changed, and he no longer regards her as a person with bad intentions.

Why is Li Yan like this?

Because there are more than one woman who holds the argument of women-in addition to women, there are many others, including Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong, Sun Jing, Xiao Jiasui, Wang Lun, Chen Kangbo, and many other important ministers.

With the alliance with the Western Xia and the Jin people to negotiate peace, many people, either out of analysis of the current situation or out of a desire for peace, asked the imperial court to negotiate peace with the Jin people.

Of course, more people, out of hatred for the Jin people, asked the army to destroy the Jin country.

And some people who have a view of the overall situation, like women, proposed that after recovering Yanyun, they could temporarily let the Jin Kingdom go, then recuperate, and then go all out to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of these people, the barren land outside the Great Wall is like chicken ribs, whether you want it or not, it is of little significance, and the rich southern region occupied by the Southern Song Dynasty and the Shu land, which is known as the granary of the world, are the inevitable ones in the middle of the world.

These people also propose:

First of all, the Southern Song Dynasty separated the territory of Dazhong, so that the end of Dazhong could not be connected, and in the long run, it may cause the Indochina Peninsula to break away from Dazhong.

Secondly, the Southern Song Dynasty was weak and had many internal problems, and it was much easier to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty than to destroy the Jin State.

Again, there is an indelible hatred between the Song Dynasty (Li Yan occupied all the women of the Zhao and Song royal families and clans, and made all the men of the Zhao family become kings, which can be described as a great shame), the Southern Song Dynasty sued for peace, it must be a delaying strategy, and after the Southern Song Dynasty solved its internal problems, it was bound to seek revenge from Dazhong, even so, it is better to strike first.

Secondly, and most importantly, although the Central Plains region is also suitable for farming, but too much to see the sky to eat, if you encounter the previous few years of famine, then the Central Plains, not only can not be self-sufficient, but also need the support of other regions, and the Southern Song Dynasty controlled the Jiangnan region and Shu land does not have this problem at all, even in the disaster year, the Jiangnan region and Shu can also be self-sufficient, and there is a large surplus, so to speak, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji spent extravagantly, and even to the death, at that time caught up with the famine for many years, But even then, the Northern Song Dynasty can still barely support it, all because of the continuous support provided by the Jiangnan region and Shudi, so if Dazhong wants to be stable, if it wants to have an undefeated country for all generations, it must also have the rich Jiangnan and the world's granary Shudi as a backing like the Northern Song Dynasty.

After talking about the reasons for destroying the Southern Song Dynasty first, these people analyzed the reasons why they could temporarily let the Jin people go:

1. As the woman said, the reason why the Liao State is strong and has dominated the north for hundreds of years is because the Liao State has always occupied Yanyun, and that is because of the support of the Han civilization, and the Jin people were driven out of the Great Wall, and they will inevitably slowly lose the civilization of the Han people, and then degenerate into wild people who drink blood.

Second, if the Jin people retreat beyond the Great Wall, then Dazhong only needs to garrison 100,000 elite troops in Yanyun and Pingluanying, and the Jin people don't want to come to the Central Plains again, and then there is nothing to fear, and on the contrary, although the Yangtze River is also a natural danger, but because it is too long, it cannot be fully defended, so if the Southern Song Dynasty wants to attack Dazhong, it can threaten the border of Dazhong at any time.

Third, there are also many contradictions within the Jin country, and with the passage of time, the contradictions in the Jin country, which has serious problems in the system, will only become bigger and more acute, and perhaps at a certain point, the Jin country can be destroyed without attacking.

Actually-

Li Yan has already been moved by this statement.

Here are not only the reasons mentioned by Wen Huanzhang and others, but also many very real problems:

For example, over the years, the Chinese army has been fighting in the south and the north, and the soldiers are really tired and have to take a good rest.

For example, although there is support from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and even the Central and Southern regions, the gap in the Central Plains is too great for Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the Central and Southern regions to bear this burden for a long time.

For another example, although Dazhong occupied the Central Plains and pacified most of the Central Plains, this is not over - in the Shaanxi region, the Song Western Army is still resisting the rule of Dazhong, and the Hedong region also has some Jin troops, part of the Song army and countless bandits in their dying struggles, as well as the future Yanyun region, not to mention the process of recovery, even after the recovery, there will definitely be a lot of resistance forces, all of which will take time to pacify, and more importantly, the governance after the pacification, how to say it, it is easy to fight the country, It is difficult to govern the country, Hedong and Hebei will not be said, although it has been ploughed several times, but after all, there are Han people who have governed the foundation for thousands of years, and it is still good to govern, and it is really difficult to govern Yanyun, which has been occupied by the Hu people for hundreds of years (although the Northern Song Dynasty has also governed for a few years, but those years have brought only endless hatred to the people in the Yanyun area without a good impression), so Dazhong needs time to govern these areas well, otherwise the previous efforts will all be in vain.

Wait a minute......

Therefore, seeing that the woman was also in this tone, Li Yan let down his guard against the woman.

The woman hesitated for a moment and explained: "The concubine did not deliberately set up a chess game to attract His Majesty, and then took the opportunity to persuade His Majesty, today's matter is more of a coincidence, the concubine is here to wait for the queen's mother...... The concubines knew that His Majesty did not like to interfere in the harem. ”

Li Yan looked into the woman's eyes and asked, "Your chess game is going to be shown to the queen?" ”

The woman did not deny it, and said: "In the past two days, the concubine has been discussing this matter with the queen mother. ”

Li Yan stared at the woman's beautiful apricot eyes for a while, and said leisurely: "If Zhao Ji is willing to listen to you, the Northern Song Dynasty may not forget it." ”

That's right.

Li Yan had already guessed who the woman was.

She is Zhao Ji's queen and the last queen mother of the Northern Song Dynasty, Empress Zheng of Xiansu, that is, the Empress Dowager Zheng.

It's not hard to guess.

Li Yan's concubines are counted, and each of them, Li Yan recognized them with his eyes closed.

And the only one Li Yan has never seen is the Empress Dowager Zheng.

At the beginning, the reason why Li Yan accepted Empress Dowager Zheng as his concubine was completely for the purpose of attacking the Zhao family, and had no other meaning.

In addition, Li Yan heard that Empress Dowager Zheng is now forty-four, two years older than Li Qingzhao and a full eight years older than herself.

Therefore, Li Yan didn't have any thoughts about Empress Dowager Zheng.

This also led to the fact that Zhao Ji's concubines and Li Yan were all about to play, and they had never seen Empress Dowager Zheng.

After listening to Li Yan's words, Empress Dowager Zheng was silent for a while and said, "He is not a bad person, he is just ...... It's too much to play. ”

Li Yan said again: "What about Zhao Gou, he should also be your son, right?" How did you let me destroy his country? ”

Empress Dowager Zheng didn't think about it, so she said: "He is not the son of the concubine, the son of the concubine died more than ten years ago." ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Zheng added in her heart: "If my son does not die, how can the Great Song Dynasty die, he must be able to turn the tide......"

Li Yan can understand Empress Dowager Zheng's hatred for Zhao Gou, if it weren't for Zhao Gou's death and not saving him, the Northern Song Dynasty would not have died so easily, and Zhao Ji and they would not have been arrested and taken to the Jin Kingdom.

Therefore, Li Yan did not doubt what Empress Dowager Zheng said.

After looking at Empress Dowager Zheng, who looked like a young woman in her early twenties, Li Yan suddenly said, "Come and sit here." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "The concubine is forty-four." ”

Li Yan listened, laughed, and said, "It's okay, I have a good appetite, I just want to taste what Zhao Ji's wife tastes like!" ”

Hearing Li Yan's domineering words, Empress Dowager Zheng was silent for a while, then slowly stood up, and then slowly walked towards Li Yan.

When the Empress Dowager Zheng was still some distance away from Li Yan, Li Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm of the Empress Dowager Zheng, and then took it into her arms, and the Empress Dowager Zheng fell into Li Yan's arms......
