Chapter 165: Jin Guo Asks for Help 2
Meng Hui was not happy when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said, "Third brother, what are you going to do here?" Could it be that you have forgotten that the Jin people are the feud of our Song people? I think how many of our brothers died at the hands of Jin Bing, have you forgotten all this? What kind of field do you want to open in Tangzhou, and send grain to the Jin people to fund the military, are you dizzy?
Usually whatever you do, the foolish brother can support you! The year before last, Zheng Dang wanted to murder you, and the foolish brother even prepared for the worst, and even did not hesitate to launch a military admonition, and sent troops to Lin'an to force the saint to forgive you for your innocence, but then you did a good job and were not killed by Zheng Dang!
Even if you launch a war and set up the current saint, the foolish brother will not blame you for this matter! But today you said that you wanted to support Jin Guo, and the foolish brother said that he would not agree to anything!
Thinking about how many heroes we have died in Jingxi to resist Jin for so many years, we can't wait to go north immediately and kill all those Jurchen Tartars, they are bullied by the Mongols, that is their incompetence, why should we help them again? This will never happen! I will never say yes! ”
Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said, "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, but we can't just destroy the Jin Kingdom right now with a momentary will!" Over the years, although our dynasty has undergone rectification and the soldiers and horses have become much stronger, it is not the best time to recover the Central Plains!
Don't hide it from big brother! In fact, I don't just look at the Central Plains! The Central Plains is just the lost land we have to get back, as well as the old land north of the Yellow River and even the Western Xia, this time the foolish brother also wants to get it back! ”
As soon as he heard Gao Huaiyuan say this, Meng Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, Gao Huaiyuan was right, the Great Song Dynasty lost not only the Central Plains! And there are also places north of the Yellow River, and even those places that were cut out by Li Yuanhao of Western Xia, and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty talked every day about recovering the Central Plains in the north, but few people realized that the land they lost was not only the Central Plains, and Meng Hui's anger suddenly dissipated a lot.

But he still insisted: "Since you have such a far-sighted vision, third brother, then we shouldn't help Jin Guo, and now we should speed up the hoarding of strength, in order to recover the north in one fell swoop!" ”
"Huh! Big brother is still too anxious! As the saying goes, you can't eat a fat man in one bite! There are also strong enemies waiting to make a move!
At the moment, we seem to be strong! But the foolish brother thought that it was not to the point where we could destroy the Jin Kingdom and defeat the Mongols in one fell swoop!
First of all, the eldest brother thinks about it, the Jin State still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and it still occupies the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the Jin Lord Wanyan Shouxu is also a shrewd and capable person, and the Jin State has not completely exhausted its qi in essence...
They hundreds of thousands of people instead of us to fight, to let the Mongolian Tatars to fight, this is called dog bite dog hair, in the Mongolian Tatars consume the Jin country at the same time, the Mongols will also be consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and we can completely watch from the wall, wait for them to bite each other exhausted, and then rise up in one fell swoop to recover the north!
And according to the calculations of the foolish brother, although Jingdong has recovered for a few years, and the economy has recovered now, but it is only enough for Jingdong soldiers and horses to consume, and the amount of grain and straw in the reserve is not sufficient, if we want to recapture the north of the Yellow River, we have to rely on Jingdong's generals, if we are not well prepared, we will rush to send troops, and it is likely to repeat the defeat of Kaixi that year. And Qin Feng's problem is very big, the number of generals under Huang Yan is not much, and Qin Fenglu has just been recovered, the local people have not yet returned to their hearts, everything is just beginning, we will immediately start to attack Jin or Mongolia, Huang Yan's road is very problematic, and it is a taboo for soldiers to rush to send troops before the rear is stable.
Even if you are here, brother, there is a problem, although my dynasty has been prosperous in the past two years, but the same grain and grass hoarding is not enough, only enough for the army to maintain a supply of grain and grass for several months! That's not enough of the minimum requirements!
And this time we are in the battle of the Central Plains in the north, it is impossible to get supplies along the way, if we are like the Mongolian Tatars, relying on looting along the way, it will be very unpopular, the remnants of the north have been ruled by the Jurchens for a long time, and they have long since lost the concept that our Great Song Dynasty is Zhengshuo, once they do this, it will only make them hate us, and the iron heart is the enemy of our army, in this way, we will consume a lot of troops to clear it, so down, it will only make the Central Plains more miserable, even if it is defeated, Once the Mongol army counterattacks, it will not be able to hold it!
So we have to be prepared! The first is the preparation of logistics materials, I plan to spend two years in Jingdong, Jingxi, Huainan West Road, Qinfeng Road to store grain, when everything is ready, in one fell swoop to recover the entire north, if possible, I even want to destroy the Mongolian Tartars, get rid of this scourge!
What's more, this time I want to open a city in Tangzhou, not to send grain to the gold owner for nothing, but to let the Jin people exchange money or goods, so that we can also get a lot of money and materials to enrich the military needs, and take the opportunity to empty the Jin people's pockets, why don't we do such a cheap business? Gao Huaiyuan patiently pulled Meng Heng to explain to him, and told Meng Hui about the plan and plan he had planned. Listening to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, Meng Hui's anger gradually dissipated, and he stood up and hugged his fists and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Third brother, forgive me, it's the foolish brother who thinks too little!" Brother Fool doesn't have the ambition of you, he just wants to quickly destroy the Jin Kingdom and recover the lost territory of the Central Plains, but he didn't think about it so much! I hope that the third brother will be blamed! ”
"Huh! Big brother Hugh is going to kill the foolish brother! We brothers can't talk about that! As long as the eldest brother understands the hard work of the foolish brother, the foolish brother will be content!
However, the foolish brother also wants to remind you, eldest brother, now that you are the commander of Jingxi, your vision cannot stay at the level of the commander of the first army, and you must think about it more than you can! How to benefit our army, how to think, this is what the commander should be! Gao Huaiyuan pulled Meng Heng and said modestly...
Meng Hui was quite ashamed, nodded yes again and again, and said, "Foolish brother is ashamed! The third brother's accusation is reasonable, but the foolish brother is too anxious! But don't worry, the third brother will definitely think more from now on! If there are any deficiencies, I hope the third brother will correct them in time! Big brother, I must listen to you! ”
In the end, it's an old friendship, everything is easy to solve, and after unraveling this knot in Meng Hui's heart, many things will be much easier to do...
Gao Huaiyuan also took advantage of the opportunity to pass by Chuzhou this time, and went back to Daye County to worship the mausoleum of his father Gao Jian, knelt in front of Gao Jian's tomb and told Gao Jian's tomb what he had done during this time, and also lit a stack of newspapers that published various news about the situation in the northwest in front of Gao Jian's grave, hoping that Gao Jianquan would know and not complain about his son.
When Gao Huaiyuan had just returned to Lin'an, the envoy of the Jin State chased after him to Lin'an, met Gao Huaiyuan, and told him a news, that is, the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu promised to purchase grain from the Southern Song Dynasty from Rong City.
It turned out that the Jin envoy ran back to Bianliang, Nanjing, Jin with Gao Huaiyuan's reply, and after seeing Wan Yan Shouxu, he conveyed Gao Huaiyuan's words to Wan Yan Shouxu, and Wan Yan Shouxu also knew that it was basically impossible for the Song people to send them a large amount of food for nothing. . .
But fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan didn't do anything perfectly, and promised them to buy it with money, which is already magnanimous enough! So Wanyan Shouxu didn't dare to force anything.
As for Gao Huaiyuan's idea for Wanyan Shouxu, Wanyan Shouxu thinks that what Gao Huaiyuan said is indeed reasonable, thinking of many princes and nobles of the Jin Kingdom, which one is not full of fat? Which one does not own a large amount of land and property, and still holds the state's wealth every day, and which of them has no money?
But how many of these guys have used their wealth to support him, the poor Dajin Emperor? They just asked him, the emperor, to quickly repel the Mongol soldiers and restore the old land, but one by two stood in a dry and lively manner, how luxurious or extravagant, thinking about this Yan Shouxu was a little depressed...
Fortunately, after so many years of rectification on the throne, Wanyan Shouxu has also secured the throne of this Jin country, and there is no need to worry that he will be like several incompetent emperors of the Jin country in the past, who were accidentally pulled down by traitors and chopped off, and replaced with a relative of the Wanyan family to continue to be the emperor of this Jin country.
Therefore, even if Wanyan Shouxu agreed to Gao Huaiyuan's conditions and agreed to buy grain from the Southern Song Dynasty through the city, as for money, he immediately issued an edict to those magnates and landlords in the country, asking them to take out money to support the Jin State's plan to resist Mongolia, and also sent a large number of officials to find out which families were the richest, and then made a list to check whether the money they took out was really helping him, the emperor, to protect his family and defend the country.
In this way, the powerful and rich people of the Jin Kingdom were forced to really make up a lot of money, at least it was not a problem to solve the current food crisis for military needs.
After Gao Huaiyuan heard the golden envoy's reply, he laughed out loud and asked the golden envoy to be sent to the post house to listen to the news, and he immediately summoned the ministers of the court to the Privy Council hall for discussion.
As soon as Gao Huaiyuan returned, the hall of the Privy Council became a place to discuss major affairs in the court, and the magnificent palace built became a deaf ear - ornament! There is no need to discuss all major matters with Zhao Yun, the emperor.
Although Gao Huaiyuan was not in the Beijing Division this time, Ji Xiancheng and Jia Qi in the Beijing Division were very strict, and those civil officials did not make any trouble, Zhen Dexiu and they were still conscientious and conscientious for the Great Song Dynasty, and they did not slack off.
And this time, after all, Gao Huaiyuan took out a great achievement and handed it over to them, he really recovered Qin Fenglu, and beat the Mongolian army, which is known as invincible in the world, to find teeth, even if he doesn't like Gao Huaiyuan, a minister who is arrogant, he has nothing to say about this matter, after all, Gao Huaiyuan recovered a large amount of lost territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and even the emperor Lao Tzu has nothing to say.
