Chapter 237: A Stinky Move
Since it is difficult to change the "dispatch", it is necessary to make a fuss about the "rank and order". After Xu Shao's consideration, he suggested that Xu Wei be given the title of "Marquis of the Guards and Horse Army", and go out of the town as the chief of the three ya, which is more dignified and can make up for his lack of age and qualifications. But Zhao Huan thought that it was not enough, so Yubi personally approved and added a "Da'an Army Undertaking Propaganda Envoy". This addition really shocked Xu Shao.
As mentioned many times above, the Chengxuan envoy used to be called "Jiedu Observation and Staying", and about ten years ago, it was renamed "Chengxuanzhi" during the Zhenghe period, and it can be seen from the literal meaning that this official title is actually "Preparatory Jiedu Envoy". In the Song Dynasty, although the Jiedu envoy had become a virtual title, the military minister was awarded the title of "Jiedu Envoy", called "Jianjie", which was a very glorious title. Just like in later generations, officers were promoted from colonel to major general, although only one level was raised, but not everyone could cross this threshold.
So why was Xu Shao shocked? It's not that he doesn't feel that his nephew is unworthy of being a preparatory envoy, but in terms of Lao Jiu's current situation, this addition may not be suitable. The addition of "Marquis Yu of the Guards Ma Army" and "Da'an Army Undertaking Propaganda Envoy" were added, these two additional officers may make the marshal of Shaanxi Hualu feel the pressure. However, the emperor's imperial pen personally approved, and it was difficult to take it back, and Xu Shao could only be used as a privy envoy to execute the Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy.
The south side is full of rewards and joy, but the north side is cloudy and thundering. The defeat of the front line of the two armies of Gao and Li gave the Jurchens a big headache. Especially Gao Shiyou, 70,000 people went out to let people gnaw like watermelons, and there was almost no skin left. How can this virtue shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the barrier of the Great Golden Kingdom? Even if you don't mention this incident, you can't even afford to consume the military and national strength of the Southern Dynasties, so what's the use of me asking you to come? The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty can defeat Gao Li in a row, so if the elite of the six roads in Shaanxi is exhausted? Shall you not recover the two rivers? Hit the sixteen states of Yanyun? It seems that Gao Shiyou Li Zhi is still not a climate, if you want to abolish them, once you want to continue to use them, you have to support them more hard.
At this time, some people within the Jin State proposed to seek the legitimacy of the occupation of the two rivers and cut off the idea of the return of the people of the two rivers, which now seems unrealistic. In addition, then it can only start another vassal state and set up another court loyal to the Jurchens in Lianghe. In fact, this matter has long become the focus of competition among all parties in Jinguo.
In the core of the power of the Jin State, the "Slow Advance Faction" represented by the second prince advocated the slow and slow down of the Southern Dynasty. Even if the Great Song Dynasty is defeated, the Zhao clan can continue to be established as the emperor, but it is only controlled by the Jin State. The "radicals" represented by the national minister Sticky Han advocated swallowing the whale in one fell swoop and destroying the Great Song Dynasty. Then let the different surnames establish political power to control the southerners, so that the southern dynasty "the country is easy to move" and "try to mix up again".
However, after the defeat of the Second Southern Expedition, the East Route Army was almost completely wiped out, and he was in a passive position after returning to China. Therefore, the Muhan gang was able to take advantage of Gao Shiyou, Li Zhi and other capitulation figures of the Southern Dynasties to take over Hedong, Hebei. Prior to this, the discordant faction had been holding back. It wasn't until someone proposed to "change the surname" in Lianghe that they hurried out to put out the fire.
Why do you say it's firefighting? Then we have to mention the mastermind of the second prince "Han Fang". This person is the champion of the Liao State, Yandi Han'er, and he is very familiar with the situation of the Southern Dynasties. Before the Jurchens decided to make a move against the Great Song Dynasty, he never mentioned it to the Jurchens. Since the founding of the Zhao and Song dynasties, he has been kind to scholars and has opened up his speech, so he has won the hearts of scholars. And the reader's mouth is the guidance of public opinion, which is enough to incite the people. If the Dajin Kingdom wants to take the Southern Dynasty, remember to attack the heart first, and attack the city first.
I don't think so, and I have always adhered to this strategy. Now that someone wants to set up a new monarch before Zhao Song is destroyed, how can he not be in a hurry? Therefore, he met the Golden Emperor Wu Qimai, that is, his fourth uncle. It is pointed out that if a different surname is established as the emperor to rule the two rivers, it can be said that there will be no harm but no benefit.
First of all, although the Jurchens captured most of the land of Lianghe, the people's hearts did not change, and the people of Lianghe still looked forward to the day when the southern army would return to their homeland and recover the mountains and rivers. If a separate imperial court is established at this time, it will only provoke more fierce resistance, which will be a major obstacle to the stability of the two rivers.
Secondly, when Emperor Taizu raised his army, our Jurchen soldiers were less than 10,000, who did we rely on after so many years? In addition to the Jurchen warriors, they also relied on the Bohai people, the Khitans, then the Yandi Han'er, and finally the Nanren. Now whether it is Gao Shiyou or Li Zhi, they are all southerners who surrendered, do they have a big credit for Dajin Guo? I don't think they have any bullshit credit, but they poke the basket as much as they can. Look at that Gao Shiyu, Xu Zhang almost gnawed his bones. There is also Li Zhi, who must have been scared by the Zijin Tiger, and the troops went to the front line to take a turn, but they didn't fire a single arrow, and they were stabbed in the eye when they turned around and left. Make such a man emperor? What do we think in our own country? What did the Southern Dynasty think?
In the end, the prime minister of the country is sticky, and he is a good hand at fighting, but the master of ceremonies and administration, and the stability of the local government do not dare to agree. For example, in today's Lianghe, even if you want to establish a different surname as the emperor, there can only be one person. How did you come up with Gao Shi and Li Zhi? Haven't you heard that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers? If you set up Gao Shiyou now, Li Zhi will not agree, and if you set up Li Zhi, Gao Shiyou will not agree. Let's not talk about whether to stand or not, it's still a problem to stand anyone!
Wu Qimai's attitude towards the Southern Dynasty was very resolute, that is, "swearing to destroy it", because the officials of the Great Song Dynasty often accused the Jurchens of "betraying the alliance to attack", in fact, the Jurchens also deeply hated the Southern Dynasty for betraying the alliance several times, in fact, when they destroyed the Liao together, they did not give the money that should be given, and did not send the grain that should be sent. Therefore, Emperor Jin still verbally said that he would consider it, but he actually didn't think so. Soon, Mu Han also went to Beijing, met Wu Qimai, and vigorously promoted the matter of "changing the surname". He also stated various benefits, such as shaking the power of the Southern Dynasties, the hope of the return of the people, and so on.
The core of the power of the Jin Kingdom is still discussing this matter, and Gao Shiyou has already smelled it. Sent his son to the country with a lot of money to lobby for bribes. Where did he get his money? Before the expansion of Hebei, he organized an army called "Hebei Taosha Army", called Taosha, but in fact, he dug graves and dug people's ancestral graves everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't woken him up earlier, he was afraid that during the occupation of the Daimyo's Mansion, he would have even dug up the ancestral grave of the Xu family.
Sticky Han's faction, anyone who can speak can receive a generous gift from Gao Shiyou, so Sticky Han gradually made up his mind to push Gao Shiyou to power. It's just that this chess hand is really not fragrant.
