Although the Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, the people's livelihood withered, and cholera was about to run out at sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But what really brought the Song Dynasty to ruin was the invasion of the northern nomads. In the following six or seven hundred years, the integration of the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains and the nomadic people outside the Saiwai was the mainstream of history, but there were also many opposing wars. For example, Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Warat and Tatar during the Ming Dynasty, and Manchuria in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention.

These are all things that Zhu Wu can't know now, and Wang Lun explained them one by one.

"Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been constant border provocations, and they have repeatedly lost power and land. In the early years, the Liao State was a big trouble, and the Song Dynasty was poor and weak. Then there were the people of the Western Xia, who fought and were uncertain, and spent countless money and food soldiers. ”

Wang Lun opened his eyes, talked about the environment around the Great Song Dynasty, and finally came to such a conclusion. "Now the Song Dynasty is struggling with the people at home, and there are foreign races taking advantage of the situation to rise, eyeing the tiger, afraid that the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species are just around the corner."

Zhu Wu listened to Wang Lun's words, and only felt a little appalling. Taking a deep breath, Zhu Wu said: "The Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty were at war and had mutual victories and defeats, and in general, the Great Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage. However, the Great Song Dynasty had a vast land, a large population, and sufficient strategic reserves, which could not be compared with the Western Xia. In the eyes of the younger brother, Xixia is not to worry! ”

After saying Xixia, Zhu Wu sighed. "Hey! All the people of Liao are soldiers, brave and good at fighting. If it is like the Five Dynasties period, the whole country comes, and the Song Dynasty is afraid that it will be really difficult to resist. ”

As early as more than 100 years ago, during the Five Dynasties of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Khitan and the Later Jin Dynasty went to war and briefly occupied the Central Plains.

Wang Lun listened to Zhu Wu's words, waved his hand and said, "Brother, I don't dare to agree with my brother. In my opinion, the Liao State has recently become Bo Xishan, and it is similar to my Great Song Dynasty, but my Great Song Dynasty is not its opponent yet. ”

At this time, Zhu Wu, like other Song people, only knew that the Liao State was the fierce rival of the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that it was also declining now.

This is good news, Zhu Wu asked nervously, "Is what my brother said seriously?" Although he hated the imperial court, he was also very concerned about the decline of the enemy Liao State.

Wang Lun nodded and said: "This matter is true, in recent years, the ministers and people of the Liao Dynasty have been rebelling, and the Liao State is tired of coping. I also heard from the merchants who came from Liaodong that a Jurchen army was quietly rising in Liaodong, full of hostility to the Liao State. I'm afraid that if there is turmoil in Liao, it will be earlier than my dynasty! ”

Hearing the news, Zhu Wu slapped his thigh and said, "It's just right, it's also our chance!" If we start an incident in the Great Song Dynasty, we are not afraid that the Liao State will come to get involved! ”

Zhu Wu was afraid that he and others would really rebel and compete with the Great Song Dynasty Sandpiper and Mussel, so that the fisherman of the Liao State would benefit, and he would not become a sinner of the nation through the ages!

Seeing that Zhu Wu was relieved, Wang Lun took the opportunity to ask: "Wang Lun and the others are now gathering in Liangshan, vowing to accomplish something great and relieve the people of Li from fire and water, I don't know if my brother is willing to help me?" ”

After listening to Wang Lun's words, Zhu Wu knew that Wang Lun had a gap in his chest and lofty ambitions, which was worth following. Zhu Wu got up and left his seat, bowed down in front of Wang Lun, and said, "Zhu Wu and the others are also ambitious and difficult to develop. The elder brother knows the general trend of the world well, and he is eloquent and strategic, and Zhu Wu has only seen it in his life. I would like to saddle up the horse and follow my brother! ”

finally said that Zhu Wu was moved, his wish was fulfilled, and he got another general, Wang Lun was overjoyed. Helping Zhu Wu up with his own hands, Wang Lun said to Zhu Wu: "The Divine Machine Military Division, Tao is unique, and I will need my brother to carry a counselor in the future, and I will always mention it!" ”

At this time, Zhu Wu made up his mind to follow Wang Lun, hugged his fists, and said sincerely: "Zhu Wuding should do his best!" ”

Wang Lun also wanted to try Zhu Wu's ability, and immediately asked: "If there is chaos today, I want to achieve great things, I don't know what the military advisor taught me?" ”

At this time, Zhu Wu and Wang Lun already had the status of monarchs and ministers, and they only sat on half of the chair. Hearing Wang Lun's inquiry, he immediately entered the role of a military advisor and thought about it.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Wu said: "If you want to achieve great things, you must consider the time, place, and people. In addition, there is a chance of success. ”

Wang Lun listened to Zhu Wu's words and savored them, which seemed to be exactly the same as what Zhuge Liang said. Nodding, Wang Lun motioned for Zhu Wu to continue.

Zhu Wu continued: "The so-called time of heaven is not a specific time, but an opportunity. Now that the Great Song Dynasty is suffering from ills, and the people's livelihood is difficult, it can be said that the chaos has been revealed. There are also strong enemies such as Daliao and Western Xia, which can be described as full of dangers. However, as it is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, it seems to me that it is not wise to start an incident rashly at this time. And now the people of Jiangnan are suffering from Huashigang, and the people of Huaixi are forced to bracket the fields, afraid that they will change over time. That's when the time comes, and it's better to accumulate strength beforehand. ”

Zhu Wu's opinion is the first to say, and his future planning coincides with Wang Lun's measures. Wang Lun thought to himself that the Divine Machine Military Division was really extraordinary! I am even more looking forward to Zhu Wu's words after that.

"The Great Song Dynasty has been in chaos at this moment, and then I am afraid that it will be stormy and stormy. The elder brother occupies Liangshanbo, and it is difficult for the official army to enter and suppress, and it is also a temporary choice. However, although Liangshanbo is good, it is a place of four wars and cannot be developed. For the sake of today, we must plan a piece of land as early as possible......"

Zhu Wu's analysis of Liangshanbo really made Wang Lun stunned, since he was hit with Liangshan, no one really said that Liangshan's status was not good. But Wang Lun knew that Liangshan was surrounded by water, which was conducive to defense and not conducive to attack. And even if he occupied Shandong from Liangshan, the terrain was unfavorable and he was surrounded by enemies on three sides.

Wang Lun didn't say anything to stop him, and Zhu Wu still talked endlessly.

According to the following, once the world changes, the most likely place to go into chaos is four. The first is Jiangnan, where the people's grievances are boiling, and if someone raises something, they are not afraid of not responding. The second is Hebei, where the people are fierce and have always been more opposed to the government. The third is Guanzhong, the land of Guanzhong, thousands of miles of fertile fields, where the king of Xing is dominant. The fourth is Huaixi and Shandong, Huaixi has officials to fight for the tiger, and Shandong has a good man like his brother who is dormant, and they are all places that are easy to change. ”

Listening to Zhu Wu's words, he almost told the place where the Great Song Dynasty rebelled later, and Wang Lun was amazed. Jiangnan La, Huaixi Wang Qing, Hebei Tianhu, Shandong Wang Lun are all well-known. There are also Shandong Shi Bin, Taihang Mountain Bazi Army, Hebei Zhongyi Society, Dongting Lake Zhongxiang, etc., all of which correspond to the places Zhu Wu said.

Wang Lun finally couldn't sit still, got up and asked, "Then according to my brother's wishes, where is the best place for me to stand?" ”

Zhu Wu saw Wang Lun's question, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "If it is according to my opinion, there are two places that are the best choices, one is Guanzhong, and the Taizu of this dynasty also has the intention to move the capital to Chang'an, and wants to go to redundant troops according to the dangers of mountains and rivers, follow the stories of the Zhou and Han dynasties, and settle the world." First, in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River is enough to defend itself, and it is also available to the people, which is commendable. ”

For Zhu Wu's emphasis on these two places, Wang Lun is not surprised. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou rebuilt the Song Dynasty Sheji, and when choosing a place to patrol the fortunate, Li Gang suggested: "The place to patrol the fortunate, Guanzhong is the top, Xiangyang is the second, and Jiankang is the bottom." When Zhang Jun of the Southern Song Dynasty ran Sichuan and Shaanxi, some people also suggested that "the people of the world, Changshan snake is also powerful, Qin and Shu are the head, the southeast is the tail, and the Central Plains is the ridge." Today, led by the southeast, An can rise the spine of the world! The map will be restored, and it will be in Sichuan and Shaanxi. ”

However, Wang Lun also had his own opinions, and only heard Wang Lun say: "Brother doesn't know!" In the land south of the Yangtze River, the literary style is prosperous, and the people are not accustomed to war. There are also Manichaeans all over the country, and the relationship is complicated, which is not a good place for us. Moreover, after a thousand years, there has not been a foothold in the southeast, but all the people in the world. ”

In Wang Lun's impression, there is only one Zhu Yuanzhang who occupies the southeast and sweeps the world.

In fact, Zhu Wu was not very optimistic about Jiangnan, so he just said it for Wang Lun's reference. What he values most is Guanzhong, otherwise he would not occupy this Shaohua Mountain. Seeing that Wang Lun denied Jiangnan, he was full of hope, hoping that Wang Lun would choose Guanzhong.

However, Wang Lun's next words disappointed Zhu Wuyuan. "Although Guanzhong is good, it is not as good as before. Coupled with the close proximity of the powerful Western Army, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to cause trouble. And this place is too far away from our nest, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Seeing that Wang Lun did not approve of these two places, Zhu Wu was a little anxious. "Then where do you want to go with my brother?"

Wang Lun approached Zhu Wu and said something.

Zhu Wu listened to it and stroked his palms and laughed. "It turns out that my brother has been planning for a long time, and it's wonderful!"

After analyzing the location with Zhu Wu, Wang Lun asked Zhu Wu for advice and strategy. "Please tell me again about this 'people' and how to do it?"

Zhu Wu had just rested for a while, and when he saw Wang Lun coming to take the test again, he said in his heart that this is really a fast repayment of debts in June! After he finished teaching the other party, he came to teach himself immediately.

With a dry cough, Zhu Wu continued: "The so-called Dao has more help and less help for the unjust, if you want to compete for the world, it is very important for the people's hearts to be back. The imperial court paid heavy taxes, and the people complained, which was the way for him to push the people's hearts to me and others, and to bring about his own destruction. And we do the opposite, relieving the people, punishing the evil and promoting the good, and the will of the people to follow. In the sphere of influence, implement good governance, love the people, and manage the sphere of influence like an iron bucket, it is natural to win all battles......"

The two were originally righteous and cloudy characters, but now they talk happily with each other, and between questions and answers, even the bright moon rises without knowing it.
