Chapter 80 Jingxiang Important

Of course, Meng Heng's words faintly revealed that there would be various forces involved in the struggle for control of these mineral resources. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From the members of the imperial court to the local forces, who can be indifferent to the fat in front of them? It's not human!

If you want to control resources and have the right to exploit them, you need to make a personnel layout. In the entire Fuzhou Military Road of Jinghu North Road, major personnel changes in institutions at all levels are inevitable.

According to the urine nature of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the face of the Zhao family, it will not be possible to get a result without making a chicken and a dog jump.

Even if the chicken flies and the dog jumps, the result may not be in line with the wishes of people like Meng Heng. It seems that Shi Songzhi at this stage will also stand on Meng Heng's side and support Meng Heng.

Why? Shi Songzhi needs military merit.

There are too many places in the Southern Song Dynasty that are strange in the imperial court. Since the release of military power by Taizu's cup of wine, emphasizing literature and suppressing military power has become the national policy of the two Song Dynasty, even in the face of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, the temple has become a racetrack for foreign races, and it is still stubbornly holding the law of the ancestors, which is not easy to say.

The lost land has instead become a bargaining chip for various factions in the imperial court. It doesn't matter whether you recover the sixteen states of Yanyun or not, what matters is whether you can get benefits.

After crossing to the south, he was even more afraid of the enemy like a tiger. When Gong Nian Huai came to this time and space, a hundred years had passed since the Southern Song Dynasty Nandu, in addition to the blood that burst out at the beginning of the Nandu, as Yue Fei was strangled in the Fengbo Pavilion on trumped-up charges, this blood color was like crying blood and remnant sun, and soon disappeared into the vast mountains, and once again regained the pale color of the Great Song Dynasty.

Twenty years ago, the Northern Expedition led by Han Wabi won the Northern Gu. Han Wabi himself was killed by Shi Miyuan, and his head was given to the Jin people, and he exchanged ten years of partial peace for the Southern Song Dynasty.

Treat martial artists as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and treat the enemy as considerate as a filial son. For the sake of Gou'an, the enemy country asked for money, goods, and the heads of the anti-war faction, so without saying a word, they cut it and salted it and sent it away.

From the brotherly state of the Song and Liao periods to the Southern Song Dynasty, it became an uncle-nephew relationship, and even the legitimacy of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty required the Jin people's policy to be recognized.

Since then, the Northern Expedition has become an unjust act of Uncle Yi's nephew.

But after all, the land of the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty was placed there, and the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty could be partial to Lin'an, but they did not dare to deny the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty in essence.

You see, the Southern Song Dynasty regarded Lin'an as a line, and it had already become the de facto capital, but it never dared to sit down, and still used the name of Lin'an to cover people's eyes and ears, and to cover up their ears and steal bells. A typical bitch should be a bitch, and the archway should also stand up.

Therefore, those who ask for progress can use this as an article to obtain a starting point for progress, and use the recovery of Sijing as a ladder bargaining chip for advancement, which can not only contact a group of people, but also gain fame and popularity.

The literati and doctors of the Southern Song Dynasty not only well adhered to the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, but also greatly advanced it.

The martial arts in the suppression of martial arts are martial people, not martial affairs. To prevent the martial artists from coming forward, one is not to let the martial artists hold greater power, and the other is to control the martial arts in the hands of the literati. Warriors are tools, you can go to kill people to charge, but the one who gives the order must be a literati.

Therefore, when literati practice martial arts, it is natural and righteous, and when martial artists practice martial arts, they have to guard against it, and if they can't prevent it, they will find a way to physically eliminate it.

From this point of view, the literati and the defense of the armed forces are nothing more than interests. It is not the interests of the royal family, let alone the interests of the common people, but the interests of the literati and doctors.

The Northern Expedition, the literati can mention, and must mention, this is a very important bargaining chip for them to manipulate the government.

In the Northern Expedition, the warriors could not mention it, and whoever mentioned it would have the heart to be unbearable.

As soon as Yue Fei's words of smashing Huanglong and the princes drank bitterly, the twelve gold medals swept through the four capitals with the golden wind, and they were slaughtered.

Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Zhang Jun and others fought honestly, resisted the enemy outside the area recognized by the imperial court, and retained a lifetime of wealth.

And Meng Heng is a martial artist, he can think about it, but he can't do it. You can only think about it, you can't say it.

Gong Nian Huai's idea of opening a mine and building a workshop must have moved Meng Heng. Meng Hui also knows how much benefit it will bring once it starts, and he can figure it out with a casual pull.

This is chemical fertilizer, as long as there are crops, there is a demand. A layer of crops and a layer of fertilizer, this is a lot of demand.

But Meng Heng can't come out, and he doesn't dare to come out, and whoever comes out will be difficult to guarantee. Because once the fertilizer was successful, in a sense, the grain bags of the Southern Song Dynasty were controlled.

Grain, in any dynasty, is a strategic resource and must be in the hands of the imperial court. Otherwise, it's a fatal event!

A person can go three days without playing with treasures, and he cannot go without food for three days. From ancient times to the present, the most desperate strategy in fighting a war is to eliminate the enemy's grain and grass. At that time, Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Wuchao and burned Yuan Shao's grain and grass, which laid the foundation for winning the Battle of Guandu later.

Who is Shi Songzhi? The nephew of Shi Miyuan, the minister of power. Powerful people. After Shi Songzhi's Jiading was a junior in the thirteenth year, he was transferred to join the army as the secretary of the Guanghua Army.

Soon, Shi Miyuan, who was an uncle, wanted to change him to a new position and asked Shi Songzhi where he wanted to go. Shi Songzhi chose the Xianghan area almost without thinking.

Xiangyang is located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, echoing Fancheng on the north bank, and is the barrier to the Yangtze River, and its position in the Southern Song Dynasty is very important, which can be compared to the throat.

Shi Songzhi naturally knew the importance of this place to the Southern Song Dynasty. So when Shi Miyuan asked him where he wanted to go, Shi Songzhi didn't even think about it, and immediately replied in the affirmative that he would go to Xianghan.

Indeed, the Southern Song Dynasty was based in the southeast, and Jingxiang could not help but rely on Jingxiang as an upstream barrier. Since ancient times, there has been no loss of Jingxiang and can protect the southeast, in contrast, the Southern Song Dynasty can still establish a country without Sichuan, but if there is no Xiangyang in Hubei, then the Southern Song Dynasty will not be able to establish a country. At the time of the confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin, standing in the Southern Song Dynasty, from the military angle, the significance of the upper reaches of Jingxiang even exceeded that of Lianghuai. The so-called "there is Jianghan but no Huaisi, the country will be weak, and there is Huaisi but no upstream of Jianghan, the country will be in danger." ”

Jing Xiang can not only be used as a barrier to compete with the Jin people, but even within the Southern Song Dynasty, Jing Xiang may always become a hidden danger.

The Jingxiang area, which is "based on the trend of the upstream", can pose a lot of pressure to Jiankang and Lin'an downstream. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, according to the upper reaches of Jingxiang, there were many soldiers who rebelled against Jiankang. It can be seen that Jingxiang not only has a barrier effect on the upstream, but also has a negative significance to the downstream. This dual character is enough to show its weight in the Southern Song Dynasty government.

Soon Shi Miyuan fulfilled Shi Songzhi's wishes and transferred Shi Songzhi to Xiangyang Hucao.

If the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to advance to the north or resist the advance of the north, it was bound to pay attention to the management of Xiangyang. Running Xiangyang well is enough to wither the entire front. Yue Fei, Wu Gong and others have all made a difference through Xiangyang.

Shi Songzhi was shrewdly aware of Jing Xiang's status, and he hoped to start from the grassroots level and start from this important place, which was enough to prove his strategy and ambition.

The Nanyang Basin, where Xiangyang is located, has the characteristics of east-west extension and north-south convergence. Whether it is the dispute between the east and the west, or the dispute between the north and the south, the Nanyang Basin is a place where soldiers must fight. Xiangyang is located in the south of the Nanyang Basin, relying on Hubei, through the Han River and the Yangtze River, connecting Wuhui in the east and Bashu in the west; From the Nanyang Basin, you can go out of the Central Plains in the north, enter Guanzhong in the west, and contact Longxi through Hanzhong.

During the confrontation between the north and the south, the military defense line in the south stretched for three or four thousand miles from east to west, and Xiangyang was at the junction between the southeast and northwest sections of this long front. Therefore, although Xiangyang is a major center of gravity in Hubei, it has actually gone beyond the local region and has a global significance. Therefore, in terms of the world, it is important to focus on Xiangyang. As an important town, Xiangyang's status has global significance.

Judging from the reality of the Song-Jin confrontation, the Jin people came from the northeast, and their source of war was far away in Liaodong. The northwest-southeast diagonal line from Guanlong and Jingxiang to the southeast is perpendicular to the northeast-southwest diagonal line in the direction of the Jin soldiers' strikes, and the danger of mountains and rivers can ensure that the Southern Song Dynasty temporarily avoided the sharpness of the Jin people's attacks. This diagonal line stretches for thousands of miles, and the link is the Yangtze River and the Han River, the Yangtze River connects Wuhui in the east, Bashu in the west, and Jingxiang lives in it. The Han River traces up from Hankou and reaches the southeastern edge of Gansu, which is a shortcut between Guanlong and the southeast, and Xiangyang is at the junction of this contact line. In this way, Xiangyang's important position on the defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty is self-evident. If the national defense line from Guanlong to the southeast is like a huge bowstring, then the northward march from Xiangyang is like an arrow. Its potential energy is indescribable.

It can be seen that whether the operation of Xiangyang is proper is enough to determine whether it is active or passive in strategy. Li Gang, Chen Liang and others also suggested that those in power should run Xiangyang and recover the Central Plains. In the year of Chunxi, Chen Liang wrote to Song Xiaozong, suggesting that Jingxiang be operated in an attempt to restore the Central Plains. He commented on the situation in the Jingxiang area: "The land of Jingxiang leads to Wuhui in the east, Bashu in the west, Huxiang in the Antarctic, Guanluo in the north, and expands and expands left and right, all of which are sufficient opportunities for enterprising." Now Cheng can reclaim its land, wash its people, and use it to vent its anger, so that it is enough to receive the qi of Guan Luo, and it can compete with China. ”

Chen Liang also thought that Qi and Qin were like two arms, "We must first lift Qi in the east and Qin in the west, then south of the big river and north of Changhuai, and consolidate the things in my belly." However, at that time, Qi and Qin were occupied by the Jin people, and the Jin people re-attacked Qi and Qin and slowed down Jingxiang, so the Southern Song Dynasty could maintain a situation that could be attacked and defended: if the Jin people attacked Huainan, the Song soldiers would go north from Jingxiang, and after the Jin soldiers, the pressure on Huainan could be reduced; If the Jin people pressed Jingxiang with the focus, they would contain it with armies from the east and west; If the time is ripe, let Jingxiang's troops go north, advance slowly, and show the form between Tang and Deng, and the Jin people will return to increase the army in Henan, so that the Jin people Qi and Qin will divide the situation; The situation of Qi and Qin can be divided into two places, and the army of Sichuan can attack Longxi in the north, and cooperate with Shandong Haojie through the sea to take Shandong. In this way, with the cooperation of Jingxiang and the armies of the east and west wings, no matter how the war situation changes, the Southern Song Dynasty can maintain the initiative in the war. Chen Liang's suggestion of managing Jingxiang can be described as unique.
