Chapter 527: Good Neighbor (Part II)

In the face of this shameless spirit that has reached the height of invincibility, even if the iron rooster Cao uses it, he has no choice but to return. However, on the way, he saw that the Koreans continued to take in the original Liaodong people and Haoqiang who had escaped.

Song Jiu sighed after hearing this: "The surrounding areas of my country are either cold or hot, or they are arid areas or mountainous areas such as the Gobi Desert that are difficult to survive, so since ancient times, the mainstream thinking in China has been against opening the border. ”

Cao Yu nodded.

In fact, it is the so-called Goryeo, and the Song Dynasty is not very interested, if it were not for the fact that the Liao State was too strong and held on to Yanyun, the gateway of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would not have used troops against the Liao State on such a large scale.

Including Dali, Hehuang, and Hexi Corridor, although Song Jiu proposed it, many ministers did not approve of using troops against them in the future.

"This idea is actually really wrong, including Liaodong, with it, you can wait and see, in a few years, to see if Liaodong is still not a bitter and cold place?"

"Just like Lingnan?"

"I'm afraid it won't work, because of the weather, Lingnan can be three crops a year, and Liaodong can only do one year to be ripe. However, the weather in Lingnan is hot, the weather is not afraid of cold, cotton is popular, and there are many coal deposits in Liaodong, so it is a big deal to wear more clothes in winter and not go out. But what about the heat? It can't be peeled to remove the heat, and because of the heat, mosquitoes and flies are dense, and poisons are everywhere. Therefore, each has its own advantages and each has its own disadvantages. However, the weather in the south is very bad, but it is better than the crops are easy to harvest, although the north is cold, but it is better than the fertile land, even in the western desert area, if everyone consciously protects the water and soil, and the grazing and farming are not a place that cannot be settled. ”

"The Koreans dare to do this. There are several reasons, the first of which is that our dynasty is not Liao. It is precisely because the mainstream ideology opposes the open side that the attack power is not strong. The Korean people are not afraid, and the second reason is that everyone despises the tenacity and shamelessness of this nation. ”

Cao laughed with a big smile.

"Thirdly, there is still some resistance in the northeast, but the war has been almost a year, and almost more than eighty percent of the country's forbidden soldiers have been mobilized, as well as countless township soldiers, van soldiers and ordinary people, and the soldiers have gradually become tired of war, and the national finances have reached the extreme of the range of bearing. I believe that Goryeo is also well aware of this information. Although the country on the Goryeo side is small, even the capital city of Kaekyung is not as big as a state city in our court. However, most of the castles were built on the side of the mountains, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the Liao State mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to break through the capital city, and in the face of the resistance of the Goryeo people and the containment of our dynasty, they had to withdraw their troops and even tear the soil to them. ”

"That's the most important reason."

"The most important reason for this is the mistake of my policy towards the open border. Because of the difference in civilized races. It is difficult to defeat them, and it is even harder to conquer them and govern them. But there is also a serious mistake made in the bones, and that is the way to defeat. It's like Cochin, and I was dismissed because of it. In fact, I don't blame Emperor Taizu for that dismissal, but I don't agree with Emperor Taizu's thoughts. ”

"Since the Han Dynasty used troops, the country was in trouble. Everyone preaches morality, and morality is preached internally, and that is for governance. However, can it make sense to preach morality to the outside world? For example, later preaching morality to the Xiongnu. The Western Jin Dynasty perished. For example, if he preached morality to Nanzhao, the Tang soldiers were defeated, and hundreds of thousands of people in Bashu were taken captive. If morality is preached on the party, it will almost endanger the entire northwest. For example, they began to preach morality again, although they were very honest, but they cooperated with the southern barbarians and wantonly bought our people as slaves. If this continues, it is believed that Cochin will endanger the southern border. ”

Song Jiu suddenly thought of his previous life, China preached morality, and as a result, he cultivated many good neighbors and was embattled.

The U.S. imperialism is not good, it has made many small countries not like a country, and a home is not like a home, but there are many friends.

In fact, this idea is wrong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not wrong to do that, he has made a peace in the north for hundreds of years, and his mistake is to use troops excessively, which led to the dethronement of the army. The same is true of Tang Taizong, who made two expeditions to Goguryeo, and used too heavy troops. But what about the modest use of troops? Do not seek governance, only seek destruction. Just as I did in Lingnan, the plundering of wealth on a large scale secured the cost of that use of troops, and deterred many barbarians in the south. The relocation of the people enabled Lingnan to quickly enter the stage of development and development. As for what Cochin looked like after the captivity, and what does it have to do with our dynasty? Even now, there are still many poor people in the country. If your own people have not been cured, can you still control whether the people outside are dead or alive? Let's see how about Cochin? Decades of peace in the South have been made. If it weren't for Hou Renbao's reckless use of troops, which led to the defeat of Bai Tengjiang's army, Jiaozhi would have been more honest. ”

"That's the difference between inside and out."

Song Jiu thought about it and felt that it didn't make much sense to talk to Cao Yong, so he could only remind him, and then return to Beijing with a clear mind to report to Zhao Heng.

So he wrote a letter and handed it to the capital.

In fact, this is still his idea of using troops moderately, not forgetting the idea of armament, and learning from US imperialism.

Don't talk about morality, even if there is no morality, there is no reason to send troops, you can find excuses, and you can create excuses if you don't have excuses.

A shallow attack tactic to carry forward the idea of moderate aggressiveness.

However, Song Jiu immediately had a headache.

There are still a lot of things in Liaodong, and the internal situation has not been completely pacified, and how to govern after pacification is also a headache, it is easy to treat, and it is difficult to cure it. Also, everyone in Shangyang Mansion is very happy, all the tribes come to the court, but not every tribe comes to the court, some tribes are hostile to the Song Dynasty, although there are not many, but most of the tribes are skeptical of the Song Dynasty.

Goryeo is in trouble again.

If left unchecked, they will win over more filthy people, even the Changbai Mountain tribe (the tribe living in the Changbai Mountain on both sides of Baichi) and even the Lu Maoduo tribe (the tribe in the northern part of the Changbai Mountain, from Dunhua to Yanji).

But if you want them to be obedient, morality is no longer enough, you must use force, but how did the Song Dynasty use troops now? There are garrisons in Liaodong, and in the future, there will be more than 100,000 forbidden soldiers here to train, garrison, and deter various tribes. However, when the general battle against Goryeo was launched, this number of troops was still insufficient, and it was better not to fight if it didn't hurt.

Fatally, in the Song Jiu plan, Goryeo was very important, once the river was dredged, so that the boat could only sail to the Tongtong River and even the Yazi River. Goryeo is an important transit point.

This multiple-choice question is more difficult to choose than whether to suppress Wang Qinruo.

When the first snow of Jingde's second year arrived, Song Jiu finally received Zhao Heng's edict. It is necessary not to have trouble with Goryeo, even if it is the so-called Gaima Mountain. As long as you can reconcile with Goryeo, let it go.

However, according to the rumored eunuch, Cao used the front to leave Goryeo, and Goryeo also sent an envoy to Kaifeng to meet him, expressing his sincerity, and then praising the Song Dynasty for unifying the north and praising virtue, and patting Zhao Heng's sycophants, only then did he make a request, which was very tactful.

And the country's finances continue to be in crisis. That's why this edict came about.

From the perspective of the Song Dynasty, the overall policy of the Song Dynasty was to defend the outside and the inside, and it was not so eager to expand the territory.

And the mountains on both sides of Changbai Mountain on the bank of the Yalu River are vast, and the imperial court can't really govern it, even if Song Jiu can't do it in the northeast. It is better to operate the upper reaches of the Luan River on the west side of the Liuhe River in its operation of Changbai Mountain, which is more realistic.

Song Jiu was noncommittal about this, not to mention whether the Koreans would gain an inch. He also slowly invaded the land of Liaodong, that is, to open the memory of his previous life, and he didn't want to leave this stain in the annals of history.

However, for the time being, it is not possible to use troops against the Koreans.

Song Jiu didn't say anything, and continued to watch the Goryeo people move away from the people of Liaodong. continued to invade Changbai Mountain, so that Wang Shu couldn't stand it anymore......

……

If you move the pattern of the Song Dynasty in two time and space, even if Song Jiu is put on the holy platform. It's not enough to exaggerate.

But in this time and space, everyone did not despise Song Jiu's contributions. Including Zhao Heng added a long list of various officials, ranks, and titles to Song Jiu. In fact, it is an acknowledgment of Song Jiu's merits.

However, Song Jiu also has many shortcomings.

For example, his fighting spirit was not strong, so he lacked the courage to reform all kinds of shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. At least the reform of government affairs is not as bold as Zhao Heng during the reign of Xianping.

This is similar to Yao Chong in the Tang Dynasty, or Lu Yijian in history, which is also a step-by-step reform, or fine-tuning.

Therefore, there are still many ills in the Song Dynasty today.

The second is Song Jiu's luxurious life.

It stands to reason that his extravagance is not excessive, and now Song Jiu can be described as a real rich and noble product, but everyone thinks that this is what he deserves.

It can only be said that under the drive of Song Jiu, although the scholars were businessmen, they began to pay commercial taxes slowly, bringing more commercial tax income to the country, but the scholars were doing business, which was itself a very unfair phenomenon.

Secondly, life is more luxurious, although compared with Lu Mengzheng, who has to kill hundreds of chickens every day in order to eat chicken tongue, or compared with Kou Zhun's entertaining life, Song Jiu is also more particular about life, such as the "air-conditioned" house in the capital, such as the marriage of each daughter, and the dowry of hundreds of thousands......

Therefore, Song Jiu and Kou Zhun are gradually leading the Song Dynasty scholars into a misunderstanding.

But compared with Kou Zhun, Song Jiu is also a little better, enjoy when he should be happy, he can also endure hardships when he should endure, and even have fun with the people and soldiers, just like in the first year of Youzhou Road, he almost ran outside for nearly ten months, and traveled all over Youzhou Road. Moreover, this kind of running did not stop, and may have lasted until the end of his term of office, and in the process of running, it was not running between cities, but traveling all over the mountains and rivers, villages and villages, and even coming to the people's homes to eat the people's corn together, or slaughtering cattle and roasting sheep with the leaders of various ethnic groups around the fire.

In the first year, it was only when the snow fell that the revolt in various places was barely suppressed.

The next year, before the ice and snow melted, Song Jiu began to run again.

There are many things to be done, such as stabilizing the various ministries, building cities, and having cities can have commerce, defense bases, and a higher degree of civilization, so that they can better stabilize and civilize the local people.

Dredging rivers, building roads, developing commerce, and promoting advanced planting methods......

As well as the new Green Great Wall, starting from Mantou Mountain and Yong'an Mountain, to Songshan, to Liuhe, and connecting to the ancient Great Wall of Tanshan.

It is not the same as the ancient Great Wall, although the ancient Great Wall has been destroyed a lot, but many city wall foundations are still there, at least in each pass to repair a repair, with the Song Dynasty financial resources can still do.

But to rebuild a new Great Wall that is seven or eight hundred miles long, the price is too great.

Therefore, the Great Green Wall was rebuilt.

In this long separation line of nearly 800 miles, a large number of trees were planted, and the foundation is also very good, the lower reaches of the Liao River because of the Han planting, many forests have been cut down, resulting in the Liao River water is slightly turbid, but the forest damage in the area of Shangjing is not serious, including this line, because the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are dense mountains and forests in many areas.

All the Song Dynasty had to do was to allocate a sum of money to connect these mountains and forests, and then plant some thorny shrubs and climbing vines in them, and then set up checkpoints in various passes, so that since they could communicate with the desert to each other, trade, and communication, they could also play a defensive role.

Moreover, in the future, this dense jungle area that is dozens of miles wide and seven or eight miles long can also well protect the water and soil of Zhongping Mansion in the future.

Even if the Yinshan forest is formed, there may not be sandstorms in Youzhou in the future.

Of course, few people think that way, and it is its defensive role that is crucial.

However, the scale is not very large at the beginning, and now it needs to be that the people in the Northeast are stable, and they must be lightly punished, including forced labor.

It will be larger next year, and it may not end until four or five years after Song Jiu leaves the Northeast.

Autumn is coming.

Song Jiu arrived in Shenyang first, and there were many state cities with Yang, and Shenyang became Shenyang again.

Dongyang Mansion is still centered on Dongyang City, but under the intentional guidance of Song Jiu, the center gradually shifted to Shenyang, because it is a transportation hub to Luyang, Changchun and Goryeo, and on the waterway, Dongyang Mansion has the Dongliang River, and Shenzhou has the Xiliang River, and everyone is each other.

So the second academy on Youzhou Road appeared, the first academy was in Youzhou, on the basis of the Guozijian in Nanjing, Liao, Zhao Heng drove in Youzhou to expand, and Zhao Heng personally inscribed, Shenyang is the second academy.

In the future, Shangyang Mansion, Luyang Mansion, Zhongping Mansion and Changchun Mansion will successively build four academies to teach the children of all ethnic groups to read and write, including the various fetters tribes can also send their children to study, and even teach the scriptures, etiquette and Confucianism, and can also recommend the outstanding children to come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination.

Song Jiu hosted the unveiling ceremony and went to the outskirts of Shenzhou, where there was a good thing that was about to mature.

But because it has attracted a good neighbor...... (To be continued......)
