Chapter 64: The Book of War
Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of Attack Wu Dalang!
At the end of March of the second year of Jianyan.
Song Gaozong Zhao established his eldest son Zhao Zhu as the crown prince, and changed Hangzhou to Lin'an, which means temporary resettlement, and seems to have an enterprising heart, which makes the government and the opposition greatly excited.
However, a few days later, the veteran general Zong Ze, who stayed in Tokyo, received a secret edict, strictly ordering him to defend Gyeonggi to the death, and unless the Jin and Ming were both defeated and wounded, and there was no power to fight back, not a single soldier should be used.
Obviously, Zhao Gou had pinned all his hopes against the Ming Dynasty on the Jurchens.
After Zong Ze received the secret order, although he was very angry, he did not dare to resist the decree after all, so he had to transfer the soldiers and horses stationed near Shanxi and Shandong back again.
-- Dividing line --
On the second day of April of the same year, 150,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Yu and Guo Yaoshi, and 13,000 soldiers and horses from the vanguard of the Ming army, fought fiercely in the North China Plain.
On the third day of the first month of April, Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the resentful army, was killed by a stray bullet, and many of his troops were scattered.
On the fourth day of the first month of April, the Qi army was defeated on all fronts, and Liu Yu fled in a hurry, with only a hundred horsemen following him, and countless loads were discarded.
On the sixth day of the fourth month, the main force of the Ming army rushed to the battlefield and received more than 60,000 prisoners.
On the evening of April 13, when 40,000 Ming troops surrounded the Daimyo's Mansion, Liu Yu mobilized the entire city and swore that if the Jin reinforcements did not arrive after ten days, he would take the initiative to surrender to the Ming army and would never implicate the people of the city.
In the early morning of April 14, the Ming army set fire to the south gate of the Daimyo's Mansion with 50 flying thunder cannons, and broke the city in an instant, Liu Yu died in the chaos, and Zhang Jun, the deputy commander of the Ming army, collected his wife and daughter, and selected his beauty, and sent them to Nanjing for Wu Kai to standby.
By mid-April, the entire territory of Hebei was Ming land, and the reinforcements sent by the Jurchens and Wang Qing all stopped at the border of Hebei.
ββEnd of June, Nanjingββ
"Your Majesty!"
On the top of the palace, I only listened to Pei Xuan, the right of the imperial history, said: "Although Hebei has been pacified, my Ming Dynasty lacks talents who can govern the place, and the bureaucrats of the old Song Dynasty and the pseudo-Qi are not credible, so I ask Your Majesty to allow you to open a branch and take scholars!" One is to recruit talents, the other can also promote the orthodoxy of my Ming Dynasty, and the third is ......"
This iron-faced face Pei Xuan can also be regarded as a rare literati under Wu Kai, especially because he is proficient in the law and iron-faced and selfless, he is deeply trusted by Wu Kai, and he is the highest official in the literati family.
Because of this, the civil official department publicly recommended him to come out and proposed the imperial examination.
You must know that this imperial examination is the foundation for civil officials to be able to control the court, and now that the road to the imperial examination has not been opened for a long time, Pei Xuan and others feel like a rootless Ping.
Tut~
Wu Kai held his chin on the dragon chair, and listened to him babble about seven or eight benefits, and then replied lazily: "Quasi-playing, but the exam questions or something, I will draw them up, poetry and songs account for about one achievement, the truth article accounts for thirty percent, and the remaining sixty percent is mainly mathematics, physics and chemistry." β
In the past two years, the new style of education has been rolled out in the Ming Dynasty, although it has been resisted and criticized by the old literati, but this Ming Dynasty Hall is a martial noble, and Wu Kai is used to a word, where will he care about any resistance and criticism?
Therefore, Pei Xuan is not very unfamiliar with this mathematical, physical and chemical theory, although he feels that this kind of thing accounts for the majority, which is very contrary to the teachings of the sage, but looking at Wu Kai's undoubted appearance, he does not dare to refute it in person.
I only thought about it in my heart, and secretly asked the examiner to take a little care of those orthodox readers who studied the articles of the saints - anyway, the examiner would only choose from the scholars.
"That's right."
Wu Kai thought for a while, and added: "This time, the Japanese and Goryeo ethnic groups can also participate in the imperial examination, but those who are not from the 'Chinese' nationality will be reduced by 20 points after the evaluation and then hired as appropriate." β
Although these words are put aside in later generations, there is a suspicion of undermining national unity, but most of the military officials under Wu Kai's command are Han Chinese, and even if there are so many officials of different races, they have all been given the identity of 'Chinese', where will they speak for any Shaomin?
So this article was unanimously adopted in the praise of 'Your Majesty's Holy Ming'.
"Report!"
Wu Kai was pondering what else to add, when he saw a Jinwu guard officer hurriedly break in, knelt down on one knee in the center of the main hall and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Governor's Mansion of Kyushu Province, saying that an envoy from the Jin Kingdom has landed in Kyushu Province and will go to Nanjing in the near future. β
Jin envoy?
It can be seen that the envoy did not pass through Southern Goryeo, Hebei, Shandong and other places, but crossed the sea directly from the Jin State - but the Jurchens secretly sent envoys across the sea while stationing heavy troops on the border of Hebei, but for what?
"Your Majesty."
The school official said again: "According to the officials of Kyushu Province, the envoy of the Jin State is here to be ordered by the Emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Wu to beg for the sake of the Qin and Jin Dynasty and to marry my Ming Dynasty!" β
"Is it good to marry Qin Jin?"
"I heard that the envoy once praised the daughter of Wanyan Wu Qimai to the officials along the way, claiming that only a male lord like you, Your Majesty, is qualified to marry her."
Tut~
This should be considered a confession, right?
I can't imagine that Dajin Kingdom, which is known for its fierce and domineering, still has the time to take the initiative to get close to people!
"Your Majesty!"
Before Wu Kai could say anything, a person suddenly flashed out of the hall, and said happily: "This is a God-given opportunity, if I can form an alliance with the Jurchens, I can free up my hands to deal with the Song State with all my strength, and when the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is included in the bag, I can gather millions of victorious soldiers in an instant, and then what is the difficulty of leveling the universe?!" β
This person is Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master.
"Lord Zhu's words are wrong!"
Another person came out proudly, but it was Wang Gui, a general under Yue Fei, who only heard him say angrily: "The Song State has been weak for a long time, and although it occupies the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is just a local chicken and a dog!" Only the Jin State is the henchman of my Ming Dynasty, if it is allowed to unify the forces of the Liao State on the desert grassland, I want to clean it up in the future, but I don't know how much energy it will take! β
"Not so! I thought it was ......"
"I think it's ......"
For a time, the generals expressed their opinions on the above, and among the military generals, those who were inclined to destroy the Song Dynasty with the Jin Dynasty were almost the same as those who were inclined to destroy the Jin State first, while the Wenchen was one-sided in favor of the Lianjin to destroy the Song Dynasty.
And in this kind of battle of words, where is the warrior the opponent of Wenchen?
Gradually, the opinion of Lianjin to destroy the Song Dynasty prevailed.
Bang, bang, bang!
Wu Kai picked up Jin Ruyi on the side, knocked on the imperial case a few times, and the discussion in the palace faded like a tide, but he saw that he had pulled a brocade silk, and ordered the chamberlain to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote down an edict in the hall, and threw it at the Jinwu guard officer.
"Take it and give it to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and let him directly take this edict to Wanyan Wu to buy his life, and he doesn't have to come to Nanjing again."
The officer walked a few steps on his knees and carefully picked up the edict, only to see that it was written: Don't bother, your wife and daughter, I will send someone to take it.
Although it is only a few words, it is clearly a war letter!
If you see the refreshing, you will go to the [apex.]
