Chapter 555: The Great Song Dynasty where the country has been lost

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation

Dong Songchen was standing outside the Deshou Palace, drowsy, and when he saw Jia Rudao coming, he immediately saluted him, and then said in a low voice: "Taishang is now in the Simian Pavilion of Xiaoxi Lake, and he is talking about things with Master Jiang. Taishi, Taishang told you to go there directly to find them. ”

Bachelor Jiang is Jiang Wanli, and he has a pavilion position as a scholar of Duanming Palace. It can be honored as "Bachelor Jiang". Jiang Wanli was ordered to go to Jiangnan West Road for military training more than a year ago, and because Jiang Wanli had set up a academy on Jiangnan West Road for a long time, lecturing and teaching apprentices, it can be said that his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over Jiangxi. Therefore, the Jiangxi regiment training army he single-handedly set up also received the greatest support from Jiangxi Shilin. In addition, he himself is one of the six ministers of high power, and he also serves as the ambassador of Jiangnan West Road to pacify, so he has great real power. Therefore, Jiangxi's regimental training armament is also different from other places, not scattered in the hands of the state capital's regimental training envoys, but all concentrated in the hands of Jiang Wanli, the regimental training ambassador.

In other words, Jiang Wanli alone has the power to train the four legions of the seven states on the Jiangnan West Road, and there are more than 80,000 regiments under his command! Among all the civil officials in charge of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had the largest number of troops and the strongest strength.

Some time ago, during the Chizhou Incident, his regimental training army attacked from Jiangzhou and advanced east and west with Li Tingzhi's Chu Yong, and successfully quelled the rebellion. Now, the imperial court appointed Jiang Wanli as the ambassador of the pacification of the two Huai, and ordered him to preside over the military affairs of the two Huai to resist the invasion of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. He came to the court to receive the decree and to hear the hadith.

This Jiang Wanli came to Deokshou Palace, probably to hear what holy hadith the Emperor Taishang had, right?

Jia Rudao nodded and turned around to pass, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "How is Taishang's mood?" Dong Songchen smiled bitterly: "What else?" Nanwaizong suffered such a catastrophe, and the people's livelihood in Lin'an withered like this. Even the temple has fallen, and I heard that it has fallen badly...... The reverse is becoming more and more arrogant. Da Song is stormy! ”

Jia Yidao gritted his teeth and said, "God bless Emperor Song." These storms are only temporary! Then he turned around and walked towards Xiaoxihu.

At this time, Zhao Yun was chatting with Jiang Wanli, who had a serious face, while walking. Zhao Yun, who has been in peace in Deoksugung Palace for many years, now seems to have no change from a few years ago, and is even a little more energetic, it seems that staying away from government affairs and living with his beloved woman is indeed good for his health.

And Jiang Wanli was still calm, and there was no overly nervous look on his face, and he was talking to Zhao Yun about the situation in the world.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Today's world. The Great Song Dynasty, the Western Yuan Dynasty, and the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty are actually scriptures that are difficult to read. Our trouble is in the industry and commerce, and the industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River have been revitalized because of the late appointment turmoil and the Quanzhou Rebellion. That's all, but the country is becoming more and more solid. ”

"Kunimoto?" Zhao Yun was a little puzzled.

Jiang Wanli said with a smile: "The foundation of the country still lies in the people's heart, and now the Great Song Dynasty is really sharing the world with the scholars, so the people's heart is stronger than before." The current chaos is just a small chaos, and industry and commerce are also the last industry, as long as Shinong and the imperial court are united, the world is still the Great Song Dynasty after all. ”

That's actually not bad. The Great Song Dynasty is now really sharing the world with the scholars - because the barrels of the guns and knives of the Great Song Dynasty have been completely controlled by the scholars. There is power in the barrel of a gun! The scholar had the barrel of a gun. This Great Song Dynasty regime is naturally the regime of scholars.

Jiang Wanli continued: "As far as the minister knows, the total number of regimental training troops in Jiangxi, Wu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Chu and other places has exceeded 300,000. And they're all real usable soldiers. It is very different from the past when Takefu was in charge of military power, and there were redundant troops. ”

Of course, it's different, the regimental training army is a soldier, and it is a new revival. Naturally, everything is done with care, and everyone does their best. Eat short. withholding military salaries, drinking soldiers' blood, and so on. It's not time yet.

"300,000 usable soldiers, it's indeed a lot......" Zhao Yun nodded slightly, his mind was a little calm. By the way, there have been a lot of scholars who have written recently, what kind of school politics do they want to implement, what is going on? Do you know? ”

In fact, school politics has existed for a long time, and Taixue in the Southern Song Dynasty is a place for political discussion, and a group of Taixue students discuss the government in addition to studying, and from time to time they will openly write to the court. And the imperial court has always attached great importance to the opinions of the students. In a way, the Taixue of the Southern Song Dynasty was similar to that of the Parliament.

However, the political function of Taixue is not explicitly stipulated, but an unspoken rule, which is a bit unjustifiable. To a large extent, it is based on the reputation of kings and rulers.

In addition, there is only Taixue that has the function of discussing politics, and the following government schools, state schools, and county schools do not have this function. Therefore, the local magistrates did not have the power to supervise and restrain the state officials.

And now, the local scholar doctor has mastered the knife handle through group training, and naturally wants to go further to get involved in the power of the state capital. And this kind of involvement is manifested in the form of unspoken rules, which is the contradiction between the regimental training and the state government officials. If it is to be put on the table, it is to fight for the right to discuss the politics of the school.

And Jia Nidao, who is in power, of course opposes this matter, so the imperial court completely ignored this opinion in the past. However, Jia Nidao's administration has been full of troubles in the past few months, especially the delay in the appointment turmoil, which has dealt a great blow to Jia Nidao's prestige. As a result, the call for the implementation of school politics has risen sharply. There are even many powerful local ministers who are holding group training, and they are also involved.

This is vaguely about to collapse...... Thinking of this, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought. Even Jia Yidao didn't notice when he came over. It was Jiang Wanli who reminded: "Taishang, Master Jia is here." ”

Zhao Yun raised his head and saw that Jia Rudao, whose face was full of tiredness and his sideburns had turned white, was dragging his steps towards him. After the turmoil of the late appointment of this Pingzhang military and state affairs, life was very difficult. A lot of things from all sides poured in, none of which were satisfactory, and the time spent in West Lake Geling in the past few years was gone. However, in front of Zhao Yun, he still tried his best to look like everything was as usual, and he slammed to the ground. Zhao Yun nodded lightly and asked, "Jia Qing, how is the situation in Jiangbei?" ”

Jia Rudao said respectfully: "Jiangbei is quite stable, and the puppet Tang army has stopped a lot after a few battles between the Gaoyou army and Chu Yong, and there is no sign of continuing to move south. ”

"There's no intention of retiring, is there?" Zhao Yun then asked.

Jia Rudao nodded silently. Baoying Prefecture has a population of at least hundreds of thousands, fertile land, and high grain production, how can Li Yanguo give up easily?

Zhao Yun sighed, beckoned Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli: "Jia Qing, Jiang Qing, accompany me for a walk." Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli both followed behind him, and they heard Zhao Yun seem to be very emotional: "I think my Zhao family has been enjoying the country for three hundred years since the Taizu Chen Qiao mutiny, and the dragon robe has been added to the body. The three-hundred-year country is really not short. A country's gas is a limited ...... after all"

"Taishang!"

"Your Majesty!"

Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli listened to Zhao Yun's words, and at the same time opened their mouths to say something. was stopped by Zhao Yun with a wave of his hand. Zhao Yun said: "There are only three of us monarchs and ministers today, what else can't be said?" ”

He paused and said: "I have been sitting on the throne for more than 30 years, and it has been a difficult autumn, how is the fortune of this Great Song Dynasty?" Don't I know? Today's Great Song Dynasty is like an old man, terminally ill, and death is only a matter of time. All Qing and the others can do is to extend the life of the Great Song Dynasty...... But do you know where the root of Da Song's illness is? ”

Jia Nidao and Jiang Wanli looked at each other, and Jia Nidao said: "The family law system of this dynasty is far better than that of previous dynasties, and the only way to win with soldiers is not as good as that of the Han and Tang dynasties." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Er Cao." Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Young children must be diligent in learning, and articles can stand up. Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars. Learned diligently, thousands of books. Three winters are enough today, who laughs and has an empty stomach. Since childhood, he has learned many talents and has high ambitions in his life. Others have swords, but I have a pen like a sword. Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall ......"

He sighed and said: "This is the root of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, it is the national capital of my Great Song Dynasty!" The Great Song Dynasty was able to dominate the world in the troubled times of five generations, and enjoyed more than 100 years of peace and prosperity, all because of this! All of them are in Guiwen and light martial arts, all of them are in the literature and imperial martial arts, and they are all making the heroes of the world go to the book to find wealth and nobility. And the shame of Jingkang, the fall of the Northland, more than 100 years of endless fighting, the root cause is also here! I have long known this truth, I started from the people, how do I not know that scholars spend too much time and energy to read the books of sages, how do I not know that most of the people with lofty ideals in a country practice literature and abolish martial arts is the root cause of the weakness of my Song Dynasty soldiers? But Guiwen light military is the foundation of the country, the country is immovable, once it moves, the country will be stormy! ”

Jia Rudao and Jiang Wanli's hearts sank at the same time. The national capital of the Great Song Dynasty seems to have moved! Today's Great Song Dynasty is a scholar in charge! When a scholar is in charge of the army, he must be familiar with military affairs and learn martial arts. And the heroes who are valued by the Son of Heaven are no longer those who stand out by relying on one article and full of economy. It's a person who holds group training and can write and martial arts.

"But it's better for a scholar to be in charge of the army than for a vulgar military minister to support the army, right?" Jiang Wanli shook his head and said. "If this is not the case, the Great Song Dynasty will have no soldiers available."

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "I don't blame you...... The country of the Great Song Dynasty was not ruined by you, it was Chen Dexing's sin! I am talking about this matter today, just to let you know that the Great Song Kingdom has been lost, and the national fortune is like a rootless wanderer.

As for whether you can reshape a country's capital, it depends on your ability. Although you let it go, Da Song is already like this, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? By the way, there are a lot of scholars who are mentioning school politics now, right? Even I heard about it in the north. You don't have to press on this, just promise them if you can. Today's Great Song Dynasty can only rely on these scholars to protect. (To be continued......)
