Chapter 15 Humiliation is not terrible, but it is afraid of forgetting
This time, the students petitioned, saying that it was better to oppose the alliance under the city and to oppose the unreasonable demands of the Jin people, but to say that it was unpleasant was to coax and coerce the officials.
After receiving the will from Song Qinzong, Zhao Pu immediately rushed to the palace gate, the rain was still falling, sparse, and gradually became much smaller. While walking to avoid the waterhole, while thinking about how to persuade and organize specific language, this time is a crisis, and it is also the only opportunity for him to rise.
Missed this time, there will be no next time.
Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, seized the throne by disgraceful means, and let his brother Zhao Kuangyin die inexplicably. This kept the royal family of the Song Dynasty in the smell of blood.
The royal family of the Song Dynasty has not been calm and has always hidden all kinds of bloody struggles. It can be said that the emperors of all dynasties have been vigilant about the members of the imperial family, like raising pigs, raising various princes.
These clans of the Song Dynasty can be clothed and fed, can play chicken and dog, and can do anything, but they can't participate in politics.
The royal family of the Song Dynasty has never given birth to talents, or the birth of talents has also been suppressed. If there were no accidents, he would have lived this drunken life until the end of his life.
But the shame of Jingkang is coming, and the troubled times are coming.
In troubled times, human life is not as valuable as a dog. In troubled times, if you want to live, you can only gain strong strength.
In the Song Dynasty, what was strength?
For Yue Fei, the army is strength;
For Qin Hui, combining vertical and horizontal and cultivating party henchmen is strength;
For the Zhao royal family, a good reputation is strength, as for the so-called military talents, strong governance talents, and super high power skills, these are all floating clouds.
King Kang Zhao Gou, who was militarily illiterate, was beaten by the Jin army, dug the Yellow River dam, lost the Yangtze River defense line, and finally fled at sea for three months; However, after the peace, the people did not usher in a happy life, but the gap between the rich and the poor continued to widen, land annexation became more violent, peasant uprisings occurred one after another, and only a few of the upper strata were happy. In terms of power, he hit the anti-gold faction, and as a result, the situation was out of balance, and it can be said that Qin Hui emptied his power.
is such a "three-no" person, and finally became the emperor. Because of his fame, he was recognized by the scholarly class. When he entered the Jin army camp, he was a hostage and earned him enough political capital to make the world's heroes corresponding.
And Zhao Pu also wants to make political capital, only with enough political capital can he live well in troubled times. This persuasion of the student to leave was his best chance, and it was also his only chance.
……
The palace door opened, and Zhao Pu walked out.
At this time, the sparse light rain also disappeared, and the dark clouds on the horizon slowly dispersed, revealing a ray of sunshine.
"Here, someone's coming out!"
"Never negotiate peace, never sign an alliance under the city!"
"The monarch and the minister are dead, the society is dead, and the fight is fought until the last moment!"
At this time, the students who had been soaked in the rain for an hour were talking about their opinions with high morale. Soaking in the rain, even with the protection of the coat, it is not immune to dampness and cold, and some people have already cooled and their noses run out. But their fighting spirit is still undiminished, and there is no sign of retreating.
"I am Zhao Pu, the king of Yi, and what I say represents the meaning of the official family. Whoever has questions can ask them one by one, but they must not be noisy. Zhao Pu said with a cold face, "You can ask anything, but you have to think it through." Don't have a hot brain and say whatever you want! ”
"Your Highness, does the housekeeper really want to negotiate peace? Sign an alliance with the Jinren under the city! A student asked.
"The alliance under the city, can it be signed or rejected?" Zhao Pu said extremely cunningly, "There can be Huo Qubing in the DPRK, Wei Qing in the DPRK, Meng Tian and Meng Yi in the DPRK, Li Jing in the DPRK, and Han Xin in the DPRK?" As long as there is such a famous general in the court, if anyone negotiates peace, I will break through him with a sword; If the official family negotiates peace, I will crash to death on the pillar of the main hall, and I will die! But what about the court? Is there one in the outward direction? ”
The Tai student was immediately speechless, the armament of the imperial court had been slackened a lot, and there had been no famous general. The world said that they were familiar with Liu Sanbian, Su Bachelor and others, not the kind of reckless Song Dynasty unknown generals.
This time, the Jin army was on the verge of the city, and it couldn't find a suitable general, so it could only be Li Gang, a scholar who didn't understand military affairs.
But there are still scholars who retorted: "I am a righteous man, and naturally there are famous generals like Han Fei!" ”
"Then who do you name and name? I asked the official family to visit the thatched house and invite him out of the mountain! Zhao Pu said, "I don't want to negotiate peace." Negotiate peace, and the officials don't want to. But the strength is not up to it, there are no strong soldiers inside, and there are no famous generals outside. The Yellow River defense line was completely lost overnight; The two large camps on the outskirts of Bianliang were wiped out overnight. I only saw that my Song army was defeated again and again, but I didn't see Wei Qing come out and defeat Hu Lu! ”
The students are silent, the book is less than the prescription, the soldiers are poor with the prescription, and they will not know much until the war. Scholars have always despised martial arts, but at this moment, they realized that martial arts are also very important, and no one will fight against gold without martial arts!
"The old general will soon arrive with reinforcements, and the old general is Han Xin of our dynasty. My Bianliang has a population of one million, and hundreds of thousands of young people are strong enough to form an army and completely defeat the Jin army. How can you negotiate peace and sign an alliance under the city? At this time, another student asked.
"The Western Army is coming soon, and our Western Army is the most powerful, but facing the threat of the Western Xia Dangxiang clan, most of them are restrained, and they want to guard their hometowns, and the army of King Qin will not be too much, at most 50,000! The old general is Gu Zhilianpo, but with the 50,000 Western Army, it is almost impossible to repel the Jin Army, so he can only keep Bianliang from losing! ”
"Bianliang does have millions of people and hundreds of thousands of young people, but there are not more people than people in the war, and the army is either holding a spear or an army. You must go through all kinds of training and complicated tests to be a qualified soldier. Sending untrained civilians to war is naked murder! By the hand of the enemy, these people are slaughtered! Zhao Pu shouted.
The student's face turned red and he was speechless.
"The treaties of the Jin people are harsh, and the first article is to lose 500,000 taels of gold, 5,000,000 years of silver, 1,000,000 horses of silk, and 10,000 horses, donkeys, and mules; Second, the official family respects the owner of the money as an uncle; Third, all the people of Yanyun in the Song Dynasty were returned, and the Song Dynasty ceded the land of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian Towns; Fourth, take the prince and the prime minister as hostages. I don't know what the officials think of these four articles! At this time, a student asked again.
Zhao Pu chuckled in his heart.
The group of scholars petitioned in front of the palace gate, the meaning was not simple, and he didn't know the specific content of the national letter, but these students actually knew. Obviously, with the support of some senior officials in the DPRK and China, or demagoguery.
These students intentionally or unintentionally play the role of a pathfinder to test the mentality of the official.
"The saint has clouds, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light. There is too much gold and silver, and the treasury can't afford it, but the official family said that if you can't afford it, you can get it, and no matter how important money is, it is not as important as the people. If the doom of slaughtering the city can be avoided, even if the official family cuts down on food and clothing, they must make up enough. The official family respects the gold lord as an uncle, which is an unprecedented shame for the official family, and it is also a shame for my Zhao family, but for the people in the city, no matter how shameful things are, they must also do it, the official family said that if the people can avoid slaughtering the city, even if it is a thousand shames, they will admit it! ”
As he spoke, Zhao Pu subconsciously touched his eyes, and immediately his eyes became red, and then tears rolled down and he cried out loudly.
Suddenly, the students who were originally excited were silent, and no one blamed or refuted.
Originally, these two articles could be said to be a loss of power and humiliation of the country, but after Zhao Pu's words, they became compromises to protect the people in the city. The first article is extremely harsh, but the reason is that no matter how important money is, it is not as important as the people, and it has become a high-sounding reason for signing the first treaty. Oppose the first one, that is, think that money is more important than the people in disguise, and whoever dares to say such a thing will immediately have a bad reputation on the street.
The second article can be described as extremely humiliating, but the concept has been stolen, and the shame of the state has become the shame of the official. Agreeing to this article will only show that the official family is not concerned about the prestige of the people for the sake of the people, and will not say humiliation and seeking peace.
With tears in his eyes, Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. These four articles can be described as the loss of power and humiliation of the country, it can be said that the Song Dynasty's version of the "Treaty of Nanjing", whoever signs such a treaty is a traitor, and who is notorious for ten thousand years.
He didn't want to be the Song Dynasty's version of Li Hongzhang.
But he knew that according to the thoughts of his eldest brother Song Qinzong, these two ironclad must have agreed.
And if you want to persuade these students, these two articles are unavoidable. Finally, under his clever persuasion and continuous tears, he was persuaded not to throw rotten eggs.
"The third article, ceding the three towns, the officials will not agree to kill them. A hundred years ago, we lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and the Great Wall barrier, so that our dynasty was humiliated by the Liao State; Fifty years ago, we lost the Hetao and the Hexi Corridor, and spent a lot of money every year to fight against the Western Xia invasion, and the country declined. Now, if we lose the three towns again, our dynasty will face the disaster of destroying the country. We have been retreating, but now there is no way to retreat, because behind us is Bianliang, where the national capital is located, and if we take a step back, we will lose the country! ”
If the first two are compromise and surrender, then this one, Zhao Pu is unprecedentedly firm. The Song Dynasty first lost Youyun and then the northwest, and was extremely sensitive to the country. If you say the indemnity, you may confuse the past, and if you say honorific titles, you may also confuse the past. But if he talks about cutting the land, he will definitely be a traitor, and the reader will definitely drown if he spits on it.
It's a pity that on this article, Song Qinzong has been undecided.
"The official family said that if anyone said that the land would be cut, he would be punished as a national thief. But ......" At this point, Zhao Pu shed tears again, "However, it doesn't matter whether the three towns are cut or not, only Taiyuan is still holding on to the three towns, and the other two places have fallen." North of the Yellow River, a lot of land has fallen! ”
"As for the fourth article, it's best to agree, I am the younger brother of the official family, Prince of the Great Song, and I am willing to go to the Jin military camp in person!" Zhao Pu wiped his red eyes and said, "It doesn't matter if you are humiliated, no matter how harsh the treaty is, I can accept it." I just hope that you will remember the shame of this moment. Shame is not terrible, what is terrible is to forget shame, to know shame and then move forward almost bravely, today's shame will inevitably be repaid in the future. If you have a heart, you will not live up to it, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu; Where there is a will, there is a way, lying on the Jing to taste the gall of 3,000 Yuejia can swallow Wu! ”
The front of the palace gate was calm again, no one questioned again, and the calm was almost terrifying.
Suddenly, a picture appeared in the minds of all the readers.
1,600 years ago, the Yue Kingdom fought with the Wu State and was defeated. In order to restore the country, Gou Jian was willing to be the coachman of the king of Wu, and he was humiliated as a hostage, sleeping on the thorn, tasting bitter gall, so that he would not forget the shame, and finally destroyed the state of Wu, and he was ashamed of his blood.
1,400 years ago, the state of Chu was destroyed. Later, Xiang Yu rose up in the wind and waves, looked at the seven thousand Jiangdong disciples, and killed the powerful Qin State, and was ashamed......
"Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work can prosper the country. The official family said that they would form a new army, form a Lu Xiang Yu Chujun, and Gou Jian Yue Army like the revenge army. Who wants to be one of the three thousand soldiers in Jiangdong, and who wants to be the Yue Guo soldier who destroyed Wu! ”
Finally, Zhao Pu roared.
