Part 1: The Idiot's Banquet (4)
"This dynasty is founded with benevolence, and the country of Jin is violent. His Majesty is benevolent and loves the people, but the Jin people have many crippled people. This is the fundamental difference between the people's hearts and minds, because although the army has been devastated, the land is mostly peaceful, while Shandong and Hebei are swarmed by robbers. Ginting no longer has the power to control, and the difference between the middle is the difference between benevolence and violence. As long as the country can be politically clear and benevolent, then it will have a fundamental basis to resist the Tatar army. ”
"Jin Guobian Saiduo relies on Yanyun to defend the Great Wall. But they themselves were Yidi who invaded China, and most of the border guards used were also Yidi. The fortress was neither built, nor was the Great Wall repaired, once Genghis Khan led the Tatar army to attack, the Wang Gu tribe who defended the border for the Jin State first defected, and then the Yehuling against the barbarian mutiny, and the 300,000 army was wiped out. The remnants had neither support nor fighting spirit, so that the Tatar iron horses penetrated deep into the flat land, which could not be replicated. However, this dynasty is different, the country's border fortress is based on the big river, the navy is the obstacle, and the border division is plugged as the screen, once the enemy goes south, he must first face the soldiers and horses of the Rong Division who are waiting for him, and after breaking the soldiers and horses of the Rong Division, he will also be blocked by the big river. If they want to cross the river by boat, they will be attacked by the naval army on our river, so the situation in the border area is very different from that of the Jin State. ”
"Mongolia originated from the steppe and lived a life of living in a house and grazing by grass. There was no way to attack the city, but in the past 20 years, he has a lot of experience in attacking the cities of the north and the cities of the western countries. However, the recent attack on Caizhou still felt a big headache, but it was cut off by the official army and attacked first. It can be seen that the Tatars have not yet touched the essence of the siege method. The country has been fighting with the Jin people for many years, and has long explored a complete set of methods to defend the city. When the enemy came, as long as the defenders had the courage to defend the city, the vassals had the courage to defend the city, and the defense work was done well in advance, the Tatar attack had little effect in the face of the fortified city, while the imperial court could take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy besieging the city to organize various actions, which was very convenient. ”
"Since the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongol princes have divided their lands and their armies are scattered and stationed in the occupied territories, but the ministers have recently heard that the inhabitants of these territories are unbearable and have rebelled, and the ministers have expected that the Mongol armies in the steppe headquarters will soon go to bomb and suppress. Then most of the main force used to attack our country should be the Han army adapted from the Haoqiang of Hebei and Shandong, but Shi Tianze, Zhang Lin, Li Tan, Zhang Rou, Liu Heima and so on. Most of them were bandits and Jin soldiers who were forced to surrender by the Mongol oppression, and as long as the imperial court focused on doing the work of these people, inducing them to take advantage of them, and telling them righteousness, as long as some of them were able to turn against each other, the situation would be very favorable to us. "Mongolia has a lot of horsepower, and the privet is also a Yidi who started with a bow horse. Only he has enjoyed wealth for a long time, and his courage has long been lost. Therefore, when the Mongols attacked, the Jin people could not resist with iron horses, but relied on the infantry army composed of Han children from all over the country, and fought the Mongolian strengths with their own shortcomings, and Anneng was undefeated. And because of the lack of war horses, we are proficient in the battle of the mountains and the river, and we know where our weaknesses are, so we will not easily choose a decisive battle on flat terrain, and we can hold on to the dangers that expose their weaknesses, and we will use our strengths to contain the shortcomings of the Mongols. This is the fifth difference. There is no invincible military horse in the world, only invincible wisdom, as long as His Majesty has a firm belief in resisting the enemy and not being afraid of tyranny, and the ministers have the determination to serve the country loyally and honestly for the people, choose a strategy, and plan carefully, even if it is a Tatar who destroys countless countries, he will definitely not have the courage to face the southeast. ”
These words blurted out from the mouth of a twenty-year-old young man, which attracted the amazement of the courtiers. Mo Dao is such a young man who has not yet had any official position, oh, except for the petty official who is the editor of the school book of Enfeng, a young man who has no political experience at all, even Zhen Dexiu, Zheng Qingzhi, Shi Songzhi, and other famous ministers who have managed national affairs for many years, and suddenly cannot put forward such a grand and detailed view. At that moment, many people concluded that this was the result of Zheng Qingzhi guiding Zheng Yunming behind the scenes, in order to make up for the impression that he left the emperor who was not familiar with military affairs because of the fiasco in Luo, and to restore his position in the court.
As everyone knows, Zheng Qingzhi is in a cold sweat at this time, Zheng Yunming's insight, even he himself can't say it in such detail. It is completely difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and if any mistake or omission angers the emperor, his efforts to welcome and worship will all be in vain.
Fortunately, the emperor just listened to it with relish, and at the end, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said happily: "Qing's words are very in line with my intentions." On this day, the Qing family gave me the Great Song Dynasty. I mean" The emperor paused, glanced at the official Shangshu Hong Shikui under the seat, and said: "I intend to use the Qing family to edit the Hanlin Academy, with a goldfish bag, you can enter and exit the inner court, and explain the scriptures and meanings to me."
"Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed." The next one stood up to refute, and sure enough, it was the official secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Hong Counselor, the old man Hong was angry because of his opposition to Duanping into Luo and the emperor, and he was writing an excerpt to resign, so he simply stood up and played the white face to the end: "The minister once knew that Zheng Yunming was a jinshi in this subject, and the official position had been arranged by the Ministry of Officials, if he had no official position at this time, His Majesty could have promoted him from the Hanlin Academy, but now that the official position has been decided, the official documents will be issued in the near future, and he will leave Beijing to take office, so His Majesty will interfere again, I am afraid that it will disrupt the official system." ”
"Is it an undergraduate jinshi?" The emperor nodded with satisfaction, as the lord of the world, what he was most afraid of was being criticized for having a legacy in the wilderness, but to be honest, whether such an outstanding young man was present during the palace examination, even he himself couldn't remember clearly. After a pause, the emperor asked again: "Isn't it better to serve as a local officer, but a talent of a hundred miles, and put it on my side to experience and be of great use at any time?" ”
Hong Zhikui was silent, he was suppressed by Shi Miyuan, demoted to a foreign official, and it was Zheng Qingzhi who recalled him back to the capital after he was in charge, but he strongly opposed Duanping's use of troops, because he saw that the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty could not support this action of stealing chickens. It is said that this is already a revenge, but for the sake of the country, he has to do his best, and this time it is just an extra favor from the emperor to his son, is this a trivial matter, do you have to speak out to stop it?
was hesitating, and suddenly heard Zheng Yunming say loudly: "Your Majesty, please go to the local place to serve as an official from the existing arrangements of the Ministry of Majesty. ”
The officials were again arguing, and refusing to give the official position in front of the holy driver was not an ordinary courage. If the emperor is angry and asks you for the crime of resisting the decree, wouldn't it be a failure to clear your name, but a big loss?
Sure enough, the emperor frowned, and his tone was a little more severe: "Do you think that the official position I gave me is too small?" ”
Zheng Yunming left his seat and knelt down, and said, "No, I think that with my own experience and knowledge, it is better not to be too close to Your Majesty as an official." ”
He was humble and low-key, but the emperor's misunderstanding deepened: "The Qing family is the lord of the Qing family, so even if you are an official, do you want to stay away from me?" ”
As soon as he heard that the emperor had completely disobeyed his intentions, Zheng Yunming couldn't help but panic, bowed his head and said: "The minister is definitely not the intention, His Majesty treats the minister as a countryman, and the sincerity of the heart is known to the world." But can the minister claim to have the qualifications of a national soldier? The minister once heard that the world is composed of three aspects: the Son of Heaven, the scholars, and the people. If you want to stabilize the world, you can't neglect any aspect. The minister was born in an official eunuch, and both father and son were greatly favored by His Majesty, so he was naturally much closer to His Majesty than ordinary people. The ministers learned from today's Confucianism, and they also knew a little about the virtues and character of the scholars, and what the ministers lacked was the understanding of the rivers and lakes. These ministers around him can't learn under His Majesty, they must go down to the county and township, whether they are county orders, county officials, or county lieutenants, and really mingle with farmers, fishermen, squires and elders, understand their sufferings, understand their voices, and see the disadvantages of the officials in the administration below, so that when the ministers will assist His Majesty in the future, they can really communicate with the lower feelings, send down the feelings, do the things of the countrymen, and help His Majesty to become a great cause of Yao Shun. This point, please don't stop it. ”
When the emperor heard this joint, he turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the Qing family has such an old and serious idea at such a young age. Very well, let go and do things in the local area, but in a few years, I will personally inspect your political achievements, and if there is any negligence or negligence, I will not be blamed for being merciless. ”
Zheng Yunming answered, and was about to step aside, but he looked a little like he wanted to say something.
The emperor asked, "What else is going on with the Qing family?" ”
Zheng Yunming thought that the opportunity to talk to the emperor may not be available again in five or six years, and he must make some money. However, I can't say it directly: "I often heard my father say that the relationship between local officials is complicated, and there are often constraints that occur to local officials who have just arrived. The minister didn't intend to waste too much time on these things, so he wanted to ask His Majesty a little help. ”
How could the emperor not understand the joints, thought for a while, and untied his jade belt from his waist: "This jade belt is given to the Qing family, local officials, seeing this jade belt is like seeing my will, giving Zheng Qing's family all kinds of conveniences in office work, and there must be no mistakes." It's just that the emperor's words changed: "If the Qing family uses the wrong way, it will be handed over to the judge immediately." ”
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister should repay His Majesty's kindness with broken bones, and"
"If you have any other requirements, let's talk about them together."
There was immediately a dissatisfaction among the courtiers, and the first time he faced the saint, he made many requests, which was nothing more than pampering and arrogance, this Zheng Yunming did not seem to be a righteous gentleman, but a villain who climbed the dragon and attached to the phoenix.
"I don't dare to ask for anything. It's just that the minister wants to play His Majesty, and now there are less than 30,000 soldiers in Shukou, and the minister heard that the Mongolian Khan Lord Wo Kotai has ordered the third prince Kuoduan to lead an army of 100,000 into southern Shaanxi, and the Tatars have many people who are familiar with the art of war, and they are afraid to follow the old wisdom of Wei and Jin to destroy Western Shu first and then take Eastern Wu. Don't be careless. If the unfortunate Shukou is breached, the area around Chengdu is a plain, and the commander-in-chief of Sichuan should be instructed to build a fortress before the east and south of Sichuan, and retreat the people on the flat terrain of Chengdu, and make preparations in advance. According to the memory of his previous life, Zheng Yunming remembered that not long after the start of the Song-Mongolian War, the Mongolian Western Route Army, which attacked Sichuan with heavy troops, wiped out the Song Dynasty's defensive forces in Shukou, and traveled in Tangori in Western Shu, killing millions of officials, gentry and people, making the Sichuan region full of flowers since the end of the Tang Dynasty a Shura killing field full of corpses and bones. If you can use these few words to remind the emperor to prepare early and save some people, it doesn't matter if you are blamed.
