Chapter 82 The Wolves of the World Sheep Don't Understand

The story of the destruction of the false path mentioned by Meng Heng took place in the Spring and Autumn Period. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom spread to Xiangong, and actively expanded the army and expanded the territory. In order to seize the important land of Cuihan, Jin Xiangong decided to go south to attack the kingdom of Yu. Shangyang, the capital of the Kingdom of Yu, was in the territory of Shaanxi County, Henan Province in later generations, but the State of Yu was located in the north of the neighboring State of Yu, which was the only way to attack Yu.

Jin Xiangong was afraid that the two countries would unite to resist the Jin, so he used the strategy of the doctor Xun Xi to break through, first borrowed the way from the Yu State to attack the Yu State, and then waited for the opportunity to destroy the Yu State.

In the nineteenth year of King Hui of Zhou (658 B.C.), Duke Xian of Jin sent Xun Xi to bring valuable gifts such as beauties and horses to Duke Yu, requesting to attack the Kingdom of Yu by taking advantage of the road. Duke Yu was greedy for profit, and was confused by Xun Xi's rhetoric, so he did not listen to the minister's dissuasion, not only agreed to borrow the way, but also volunteered to be the vanguard of the attack on the kingdom of Yu.

In the summer of that year, the Jin and Yu coalition forces captured Xiayang, an important town of the Yu State, and the Jin State controlled the main road between the Yu and Yu Kingdoms. In the twenty-second year, Jin repeated the plan to borrow from Yu. Gong Zhiqi used the principle of "auxiliary cars depend on each other, lips and teeth are cold", explaining that Yu and Yu are geographically connected, the interests are at stake, and Yu will die, and Yu Gong must not agree to borrow the road.

But Yu Gong believes that Jin and Yu are the same sect and will not deceive each other, and refuse to listen to persuasion. On October 17, the Jin army besieged Shangyang, the capital of Qiu. At the beginning of December, the city was destroyed and destroyed. Later, the class teacher temporarily lived in the country of Yu to recuperate. The Jin army took advantage of Yu's unpreparedness and launched a surprise attack, capturing Duke Yu and destroying his country.

"If the Mongols really want to implement the plan of destroying the false way, can our Great Song Dynasty really use its way to fulfill the Mongols' strategy of destroying gold as the Mongols wish?"

Meng Zhijing obviously couldn't accept this result, but his father's words thought that it was a good plan, and as a son, he couldn't confront him face to face, so he had to express his attitude in an inquiring tone.

Meng Hui sighed lightly, although it was inaudible, but Gong Nian Huai heard it, and I believe that Meng Zhijing's hearing would not ignore this sigh.

From the standpoint of the Mongols, this plan is certainly good, and if it can be realized, it will not only be able to implement a strategic detour, but also catch the gold strikers off guard. Moreover, the Jin people were forced to fight on two fronts, and if the situation really developed to that day, the day when the Jin people would die was not far away. ”

"Dad, will our Great Song Dynasty borrow the Tao?" Meng Zhijing is not the first brother on the battlefield, and he will not understand his father's analysis, but he can't accept the fact that Da Song may borrow the Tao.

"Nian Huai, for my Great Song Dynasty, how to choose between borrowing or not borrowing?" Meng Hui ignored Meng Zhijing's child-like emotional venting, and instead threw the problem to Gong Nian Huai.

On the surface, it seems that Meng Hui is discussing problems with Gong Nianhuai, but in fact, he is guiding Meng Zhijing to think about the angle of the problem. Because Meng Heng's words are trade-offs.

Gong Nian Huai lowered his head and was silent in thought. In the eyes of Meng Hui and Meng Zhijing's father and son, Gong Yi Nianhuai seemed to be thinking.

It's no wonder that the two of them think so. Gong Nian Huai is not short, but according to Gong Nian Huai himself, he is two years younger than Meng Zhijing, that is, fourteen or fifteen years old. Although the ancients came of age early, men and women at the age of fourteen or fifteen could get married and have children, but their body shape and thinking were still childlike after all.

Moreover, Gong Nian Huai claimed to have traveled overseas with his clansmen for a long time to broaden his knowledge and knowledge, but he was relatively unfamiliar with the Great Song Dynasty.

Regarding these two points, Meng Hui and Meng Zhijing will also listen to them. Because in the contact with Gongyi Nianhuai, although the time is not long, it is difficult for anyone to believe that a person who has lived overseas for a long time will have a deep understanding of the Great Song Dynasty like him.

The endless peculiar ideas of Gong Yi Nian Huai can also be endorsed by the name of the descendants of the Gong Yi clan, so it is difficult for him to prevaricate with bystanders Qing Lai for his understanding of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Imagine what kind of attention does a person who is wandering abroad need to gather detailed information about the three countries in this time and space, and make a judgment that is divided into three points?

Of course, it is not impossible, if this person is an international observer in later generations, or a spy who specializes in intelligence, it is also possible to achieve such a high level of understanding.

Of course, Gong Yi Nianhuai is not like what the father and son guessed, he is thinking about how to answer Meng Hui's question.

In real history, before and after the Mongols were promoting the false way to destroy Jin, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was also playing the trick of Lianmeng to destroy Jin.

In the end, both sides achieved their goals, and the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed. The Mongols' false way to destroy Jin succeeded, and the Southern Song Dynasty's Lianmeng extermination of Jin was also realized.

After the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, the fireworks of the Southern Song Dynasty were not yet disillusioned, and the Mongol iron cavalry began to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.

This scene is very similar to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in history.

It is said that people cannot step into the same river. The two Song Dynasty did not believe in this evil, and after stepping on a destroyed country, they still did not want to forge ahead, did not seek improvement, and once again stepped into the same river, in exchange for a more tragic ending, and by the way, the Han culture was also ruthlessly pitted, and it also greatly helped the Europeans. The helpers did not leave their names, and they did not even get a word of thanks from the Europeans.

Since then, the Chinese civilization as a whole has gone downhill, and the Europeans, after coming into contact with a large number of Eastern civilizations, began to awaken, and finally contributed to the Renaissance and embarked on the path of the industrial revolution.

Therefore, in this sense, how much disaster this period of history of the Southern Song Dynasty brought to Chinese civilization and how much contribution it made to the world, the ability to harm oneself and benefit others is the most slippery game of the two Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty's Lianmeng extermination of gold was forced out step by step in the mentality of trembling, both ends of the first rat, and looking forward and backward. More reactive than active.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, it is not the first time that military alliances are used to eliminate enemy countries, and eventually allies evolve into stronger enemies, and the late Northern Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jurchens to destroy the Liao State is a typical case.

There was no substantive interaction between the Song and the Mongols, and the prerequisites for a military alliance between the Southern Song and the Mongols had been laid when the Mongols' horse's hooves began to set foot on the land of the Central Plains.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, there were several reasons: first, the Southern Song Dynasty's sense of revenge; Second, the Jin dynasty miscalculated the situation and pushed possible allies to the enemy; Third, the Mongol power was strong, and the Southern Song Dynasty had no choice but to do it.

Regarding the tripartite forces of the Song, Jin, and Mongolian forces, especially the attempts of the Mongols, the Southern Song Dynasty court was not unscrupulous. In the face of the Mongol surging southward and the feud between the Jin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty court had two opinions, one supported the Jin Dynasty and used it as a shield against the Mongols; One believed that he should take this opportunity to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and thus raise his spirits and try to resist the Mongol attempt to move south.

Qiao Xingjian, a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, believed that "the strong Tartar is gradually rising, and its momentum is enough to kill gold." The enmity of the past is also, and now I am covered. The ancients had a cold tooth and a cold tooth that could be overcome, and it was advisable to resist the Tartar. It is believed that under the situation of the rise of Mongol power, Jin has turned from an enemy in the past to a buffer state today, and as long as Jin can resist the attack of the Mongols, it is not impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to pay New Year's coins to Jin.

The Mongols were very powerful and already had the ability to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and after the Mongols destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it was not a good thing for the Song Dynasty to be neighbors with the Song. If you do not break off diplomatic relations with the Jin Dynasty and continue to lose the New Year's coins, it will be beneficial for the Jin people to resist the Mongols, so that the Southern Song Dynasty will also have the opportunity to relieve time and organize forces to fight against the Mongols going south.

Qiao Xingjian's proposition is difficult to agree with when Song Jin's feud can finally be avenged.

Zhen Dexiu, another minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and others advocated that "the Jin people have a common enmity with me, and we should take the opportunity of the Jin Dynasty's attack on the Mongols, stop paying New Year's coins to the Jin people, and send troops north to recover the lost territory, in order to avenge the revenge of the monarch's father." It is believed that it is unreliable to want to use Jin as a shield, and it should take advantage of "the imminent death of the captives and the urgent strategy of self-reliance, using loyalty and virtuousness, repairing political affairs, bending to the people's policies, and collecting the hearts of the people." The Song Dynasty should make itself strong as soon as possible, both to change its original humble position in front of the Jin Dynasty and to cope with the Mongol attack.

Although the Southern Song court disagreed, they all recognized that Mongolia was a state of tigers and wolves, and that they were not enough allies, or even more vicious enemies than the Jin dynasty.

Most people think that Qiao Xingjian's opinion is too calm and difficult to accept. Zhen Dexiu's views are desirable, and the shame of a hundred years of snow in one drum can naturally be approved by everyone.

In order to repay Jingkang's shame, he finally chose not to ally with the Jin Dynasty. At the beginning of the war and the imminent demise of the Jin Dynasty, even Zhen Dexiu, who advocated the destruction of Jin to avenge the revenge, also proposed that he should be cautious about how to deal with relations with Mongolia, "Today's Jurchen is the death of Liao in the past, and the Tatar of today is Xiangzhi Jurchen."

It is believed that Lianmeng's destruction of Jin may repeat the mistake of Lianjin's destruction of Liao. In the Southern Song Dynasty, although the voice of "destroying gold" was very loud, the strategy of "Lianmeng" never prevailed.

After the Jin State was forced to move its capital, the finances were scarce, and in order to solve the food problem, it not only required the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to pay the New Year's coins, but also forcibly demanded grain. At this time, the thinking inertia of small merchants and hawkers in the Southern Song Dynasty dominated the government again.

If you can't get it, you will rob it, and the Jin State will start its southern invasion. This southern invasion shattered the Song court's illusion that Jin was a barrier. At this time, for the sake of their own survival, the Southern Song Dynasty not only resolutely resisted the invading Jin army, but also constantly looked for opportunities to go deep into Henan to copy the strategy to force the Jin army to retreat. In addition, in order to reduce the pressure on national defense, the Southern Song Dynasty also openly recruited powerful Shandong loyal and righteous troops, and at the same time joined forces with the Western Xia to attack Qin and Gong.

This war lasted for seven years. The Jin State not only failed to achieve the goal of "recompensating the Song", but suffered heavy losses. Although the Song court was still sober at this time and did not fall into the trap of the Jin State, the possibility of the Song and Jin joining forces to resist Mongolia has become very small.

In addition, when the Mongols attacked the Western Xia before, the Western Xia also asked the Jin State for help, but the Jin State took advantage of the fire to rob it, so that when it invaded the Southern Song Dynasty later, the Western Xia firmly stood on the side of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the Jin State launched a war against the Song Dynasty, the Song court had to engage with the Mongols again for its own survival, in order to reduce the military pressure on itself. In the 11th year of Jiading, Mongolia sent envoys to contact the Southern Song Dynasty again, and Song Ningzong also expressed his willingness to make further contact with Mongolia.
