Zhao Ta knew that war was inevitable now, and as a later man, he knew that war battles were not all launched by war maniacs. In modern times, wars at home and abroad are often generated by the outbreak of economic crises and the plundering of resources and wealth. In order to achieve the goal of survival, they will inevitably take risks to fight for a way out, and the history books record the period of drastic changes in the earth's climate, that is, the period of frequent invasion by foreign tribes. From these perspectives, the migration of the northern people to the south is more or less the result of climate variation.

Since the Han Dynasty, the natural environment in the north has deteriorated, and land desertification has become more serious. In the past, Loulan, Gaochang and Dunhuang were gradually buried by the desert. Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, especially in the Five Dynasties and Ten Dynasties period, the earth has entered a dry and cold climate. The increasing desertification in northern China has exacerbated the survival crisis of all the people living in northern China, especially the nomadic herders. Migration and lifestyle changes are almost the only options they have in the face of danger.

Due to the impact of climate and human life, land desertification in northern Central China and Central Asia has been exacerbated. As a result, the living space of the vast number of nomadic herders living in this area has been greatly reduced, and their grazing options have been degraded. This phenomenon was particularly acute during the Song Dynasty, which cut off the famous overland Silk Road. Migration is a choice, as is a lifestyle change. To a certain extent, the transformation of many ethnic groups in the north from nomadic life to agricultural civilization may also be unacceptable. These two choices were not a good thing for the weakened Great Song Emperor.

First of all, in the Leng Bīng period, advanced civilizations often occupied areas with better living conditions, while barbarians did not have such good luck, and their living space was the main reason for their migration. Probably because their tribal organization is close to the mobilization of the jun, unlike the agricultural civilization, the population is scattered, and it is not easy to concentrate, "the nomadic herdsmen are easy to have an advantage in the organization of the jun, they can be all the people, they can be flexible, and they can use the way of movement and warfare to gain a strategic advantage."

Furthermore, from the perspective of geographical governance, although the Qingzàng Plateau in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east roughly form a natural barrier, the Qilian Mountains in the Altai Mountains in the north, the two lines of the Daxing'an Mountains and the Taihang Mountains, one west and one east, form a "bào force funnel." "As long as the nomadic herdsmen of Central Asia cross the line of Helan Mountain, Yinshan Mountain, and Yanshan Mountain", they are basically like breaking bamboos, like entering a no-man's land, chasing the Central Plains, almost like exploring things in a bag.

The third is that on the big stage of history where the weak eat the strong and you live and I live, the rulers of the past dynasties have no choice: "We must establish a relatively unified emperor on the basis of the strength of the army, so that there is room for survival and development." In order to withstand the constant onslaught and threat of these nomadic herders, a strong standing army is almost necessary. With the establishment of a huge army of jun, how to find a delicate balance between "outside the country" and "inside the country" has become a major problem that the rulers of various dynasties must first solve. The combat effectiveness of the Jun team is too strong and it is prone to internal strife, and the combat effectiveness of the Jun team is too weak, and it is prone to external troubles.

In the Song Dynasty, Yang Wen's strategy of suppressing the military first turned the Jun team into a real "deterrent weapon", and the control of horses by the Liao, Jin, and Western Xia actually monopolized the most important war resources of the Leng Bīng Instrument era, making the Song Dynasty congenitally deficient in equipment. If the government is peaceful, it may still be maintained, but now that the land annexation is becoming more serious, and there is an emperor who only knows pleasure, and he is raising a tān 囘guān who helps the Hengzheng bào, the contradictions of the society and the contradictions of the hierarchy have reached the critical point of "If foreign invasion at this time, the decayed edifice will inevitably fall to the ground!" ,

Zhao Ta is very clear about this, "But who to tell who to believe," "Old master, now the war is imminent, but those important ministers will only talk about it, and don't look at what they have in their pockets" How can every person who writes poems and paintings understand things on the battlefield, I can only make this preparation myself! He said with a wry smile.

"Wang yé, you don't want a leaf to blind your eyes, although there are jiān 佞 among the scholars" but most people are wind bones, willing to be a festival! "He Qufei was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ta's words," he argued.

"Hehe, look at our so-called "loyal ministers, who usually talk about the wind and the moon, not the martial arts practice bīng, but the liú is connected to the poetry, wine, song and dance, wind huā snow moon: once it is difficult to take the head, then a sǐ report to the king." This kind of behavior is indeed commendable, but what can be the result? Look at the loyal ministers who have left their names in history, how many of them are not failures! Drink and kill, calmly go to sǐ, shout two sentences to repay the sǐ, it seems fierce and tragic, but is such a sǐ in 囘囯囘 in the people useful? Zhao Ta was a little excited, and said with a dry laugh.

Wang Yé's words were extreme, although "He Qufei wanted to defend himself, but Wang Yé was right, he sighed and shook his head and swallowed back, in the "Commentary" he mentioned that "bīng must be used, and there is no need to use", "when the war is fought, when it stops, it will be stopped", "forgetting the war, èbīng, will be humiliated," "happy war, poor bīng, there will also be the disaster of defeating the king." Now, in order to show his merits, Cai Jing in the middle of the court has been frequently using bīng for more than ten years against the Western Xia, paying a huge amount of money and food, and still has not been able to eliminate the Western Xia, only to achieve Tong Guan's invincible reputation, but his heart is still a "text, heart, let him criticize the actions of these scholars, it is still difficult to speak."

"Old teacher, my words are really extreme, Wenzhi 囘囯, Wu Anbang, no one can leave anyone, now I still have to help me think of a fǎ!" Zhao Ta saw that He Qufei was a little embarrassed by what he said, and the old man couldn't hold his face a little, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Wang Yé, everyone wants to be the prince, and he will become a great treasure in the future, but you want to push the crown prince out of the way, it's really incomprehensible!" Why don't you go to Ye Yu Dao, it can be regarded as revenge for his disrespect for the teacher just now.

"Old master, don't talk about the prince, it's just that there is something good about being the emperor, every time he is stared at by the ministers, he has to obey the rules, if it is the Taiping world, I really want to stay in Xiangyi for the rest of my life and never come back, every time I travel the mountains and rivers, get drunk and lie in the fields, marry him ten or eight concubines, and be a carefree king, wouldn't I be happy for a lifetime!" Zhao Ta refilled the tea for the old master and said unproductively.

"Even if Wang Yé is not the crown prince, but to realize the wish of the Prancing Horse battlefield, I am afraid it will be difficult to realize, the clan is not allowed to receive bīng, this rule has been broken for a hundred years!" He Qufei said. "There are exceptions to everything, didn't Tingmei, Dezhao, and Taizong also lead troops to the expedition when they didn't ascend the throne, and Zhao Tingzhi's own dynasty also served as the prime minister, this shouldn't be absolute." Zhao Ta said that in his memory, his younger brother Zhao Yan had promoted the Imperial City Division for more than ten years, in charge of the security of the center, and he was ready to recognize the "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses" only because the Jin soldiers fought too fast and did not arrive.

"Even if the prince can command the army, you can know that our dynasty has always been heavy on civil and military affairs, and it is very strict with the ministers who lead ordinary troops, and you are the prince!" He Qufei said again.

"Alas, the danger of covering the nest is over, if the country is gone, I'm afraid I can't be an ordinary person, and being despised is a hundred times better than being a slave who died in the country and endured humiliation and stealing life!" Zhao Tazhi said that what Mr. Lu Dao said was true, and the famous general Qiuqing was an example.

Qiu Qing promoted the deputy envoy of the Privy Council with his military merits, but he was still humiliated by Han Qi in person, saying that he "is a good man who sings as the champion outside the Donghua Gate", although he was cautious, but said that he arranged the rumors that endangered the imperial court with various five element variations, and the chapters that asked his attendants to remove him from his ruling position followed. In the first year of Jiali, Qiuqing was finally dismissed from government and went out of Chenzhou. When making this decision, Renzong said, "Qiuqing is a loyal minister. Prime Minister Wen Yanbo asked Renzong rhetorically: "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong?" ”

After Qiu Qing heard the appointment, he went to Zhongshu to ask Wei Lu why he was not guilty of going out of Zhizhou County, Wen Yanbo stared at him for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "Without him, the court suspects you!" "After his arrival, the imperial court sent his chamberlains twice a month to ask." And every time he came, he was amazed all day long. In less than half a year, a generation of famous generals died of grief in Chenzhou. ,

"The prince has made up his mind?" He Qufei asked solemnly.

"Hmm!" Zhao Ta nodded again.

"Okay, but the success or failure of this matter has to fall on the mother!" He Qufei said with a smile and gave him an idea.

"Mother, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Zhao Ta felt that this idea was mysterious, and they all said that the mother is more precious than the son, although the mother has been in the position of the mother of the country, but who doesn't want his son to ascend the throne and become the emperor!

"Hehe, Niangniang understands righteousness, as long as you explain this matter, Niangniang will help you, and the future will depend on Niangniang's support." He Qufei smiled and patted Zhao Ta's hand and left.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty has a characteristic, the queen mothers and queens are much more virtuous, more serious than the emperor's ministers. For example, the Empress Dowager Du, the Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress Dowager Cao, the Empress Dowager Xiang, Empress Wang, etc., they all pay attention to living a simple life, and they have political acumen.

Zhao Ta has no good way now, so he can only report the idea of trying it out, regardless of the fact that the New Year is not over, and enters the palace. He talked with his mother for a day, racked his brains for a few nights and wrote a letter that he thought was impassioned, understood the righteousness, and recommended the king Zhao Mad as the crown prince, and handed it to his mother, ready to let her choose a suitable time to present it to the emperor, but Zheng Hongmei did not say anything on the spot, but just asked him to bring the recommendation watch back

Zhao Ta had no bottom in his heart, and talked with Huang Jingchen for a long time, asking him to keep an eye on himself and persuade his mother. Huang Jingchen rubbed his fingers and asked him for some hard-earned money, before he agreed, Zhao Ta walked out of the palace gate, and suddenly felt that he had mixed tastes, and he did this, not only to live up to his mother's expectations, but also to disappoint many people who followed him without regrets, is this very unfair to them?
