Chapter Seventy-One: The Main Battle Faction and the Main Peace Faction
Liu Sisi was first overjoyed when she heard this, and then a faint wry smile came out of the corner of her mouth, it turned out that she thought that Wang Shaohua really had a way to save her father, and when it came to the future, she still had to compromise with the emperor and those "peacemakers" and even sing praises of virtue, if her father could do this, he would not have made such a fuss that day.
And if this is really a victory over Western Xia, there is no need for others to say that Liu Dalong will also take the initiative to congratulate him, but this "peace" is just to fool the people, and by the way, he will put gold on his face.
To put it bluntly, the Great Song Dynasty can't beat the Western Xia, and the "peace" that was bought with money and goods is equivalent to giving you whatever you want, please go back, the war in the province will also consume money and food, but nominally you have to respect me as the Lord, I "gave peace" to you, not that I lost.
I don't know how many times this kind of trick has been played in the past, and it seems that it is all the arrogant "peace" of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, the Western Xia Kingdom has reaped enough benefits every time, just to give you some face on the surface.
Liu Sisi was just about to refuse Wang Shaohua's "kindness", when she heard someone below smile coldly and said: "The person wearing it looks like a human, but I didn't expect it to be a traitor again." ”
Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear, and it seemed to have a special magnetism, so that everyone could hear it clearly, and Wang Shaohua's face suddenly changed - the previous chic and calm were gone, replaced by gritted teeth, and even a trace of shame.
It turns out that although the emperor is incompetent in this court, and Cai Jing and Gao Yu and other traitorous ministers are shameless, not everyone is like this, and many officials such as Liu Dalong are deeply ashamed of the country's groveling in the face of Liao and Western Xia, and want to strive for self-improvement and fight with the enemy to the end, especially the middle and lower classes.
But this is of little use, after all, the right to speak is still more in the hands of Song Huizong and other "surrender factions", but I have to say that the influence of the main battle faction is very great, especially among the common people, so even those lords and factions do not dare to say that they are surrendering, and the name is "the overall situation is important", or "peace is precious" and so on.
But in fact, how could the common people be so easy to fool, not to mention that the sixteen states of Yanyun were ceded to the Liao State, and they were forced to sue for peace by the small Xixia who only had a corner of the Hetao, and your mother, and then the capital left by the ancestors was almost eaten up.
And Ye Ling is naturally more aware of this, history has already been written clearly, just a few years later, the Jin soldiers who are more ferocious and brutal than the Liao State will go south, thus writing the most humiliating article in the entire Chinese history - the Jingkang Change, this Song Huizong father and son will be dragged back to their nest by the Jin soldiers like dogs to be humiliated, and it doesn't matter if you wastes die ten thousand times, but what qualifications do you Nima have to let tens of millions of people in the entire Song Dynasty accompany you to be humiliated or even die?
This is also the biggest purpose of Ye Ling's coming here, that is, to prevent the occurrence of this humiliating history, as for overthrowing the Great Song Dynasty, it is just a small goal, just like a local tyrant in later generations understated "earn him 100 million first".
Especially the invasion of the Western Xia Kingdom, Ye Ling had already fully learned from Luda, when Liangshan stabilized the situation, Ye Ling sent a letter to Lu Da, inviting him to go up the mountain to join the gang, but Luda told Ye Ling that the Western Xia Kingdom had come to sweep again, and they were tight there, and at this critical moment, he really couldn't bear to abandon the small kind of Jing Liugong and a group of comrades to go first, even if he wanted to come, he had to repel the Xixia people.
But I never expected that Luda and their border soldiers were still impassionedly ready to fight with the people of Xixia, but they had no shame to cut money and beg for mercy again, what a shame this is for them?
Therefore, when Ye Ling heard that Wang Shaohua proudly boasted about the "Harmony" Xixia as a credit, he couldn't help but be furious, this is a complete waste, this kind of thing is not ashamed, but proud, if the enemy enters the capital in the future, needless to say, he will be a hardcore traitor!
Wang Shaohua was ashamed and angry, turned around and shouted angrily: "Who is talking nonsense and discussing national affairs, do you want to rebel?" Hurry up and come out and kowtow to this son to make amends! ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ling, but Ye Ling didn't care, and after glancing at Wang Shaohua mockingly, he said coldly: "This world is in charge of the world's affairs, this kind of shameless thing of ceding land and paying compensation for the favor of a group of barbarians, you can do it, don't you still allow our people to say it?"
And since you said it was a big victory, then I have to ask you, how many Tanguts did we kill in this battle? How much did they pay us, or how much land did they cede to us? If you really say it, what does it matter if I make amends to you? But if not, I'm afraid that the person who kowtows to make amends should be you, and you are not to me, but to everyone present, to the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty! ”
In fact, the vast majority of those who really want to sell the country for glory are those at the top of the elite, because once the war starts and the biggest loss is them, only the seller can keep his glory and wealth, and how many of the rest are born cheap, and they don't want to be masters instead of slaves?
Therefore, when he heard Ye Ling's words, most of the people in the room applauded, Wang Shaohua suddenly became even more ashamed, he never expected Ye Ling's words to be so compelling, and they were interlocking, so that he couldn't speak crookedly at all, he simply said angrily: "This kid is a demon to confuse the public, come on, arrest him for me, and submit it to the government for conviction later!" ”
Naturally, he came out with bodyguards, and the two strong men behind him immediately jumped out and attacked Ye Ling viciously when they heard this-but before Ye Ling's people came out, they saw several black-clothed guards wearing swords on the ship speak first: "This is our place, no one is allowed to do anything, Wang Gongzi please take the trouble to restrain your subordinates, otherwise don't blame us for offending!" ”
This is clearly a fair treatment of both sides, but in fact, it is completely aimed at Wang Shaohua, although these guards are hired by the government, they are all people from the Great Song Dynasty, and among the "main battle faction" like Ye Ling and the "surrender faction" like Wang Shaohua, they naturally support the former without hesitation, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Shaohua is also a person with status, he would have been thrown out long ago, and it would have been very polite to persuade him.
