"It's not that my Western Xia and the Song army have never fought, and they have been fighting for decades, and I haven't seen the Song Dynasty destroy my Western Xia. If the Song army arrives, he will be allowed to go and never return! A party nobleman shouted.

"Our dynasty has occupied thousands of miles of land in the Song Dynasty, and if we want to negotiate peace, unless we spit out those thousands of miles of land, everything will be in vain!" Another Han minister said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the Jurchens are like fish in water outside the Saiwai, and if the Song army is an expedition to Liaodong, it will inevitably work on an expedition." The Song army was defeated by more than gold, but if they wanted to destroy gold, it was difficult to climb to the sky. The Jin Kingdom will not be destroyed for a day, and the Song Dynasty will not move troops to Western Xia for a day! ”

"However, even so, I can't be underestimated!"

A conservative courtier.

The courtiers present spoke their opinions one after another, and did not take the threat of the Song Dynasty to heart.

The Song Dynasty defeated the Jin army, the Jin army retreated to Saiwai, and the entire north recovered, but the Song Dynasty also suffered heavy losses and had to stop. After retreating to Saiwai, the Jin army objectively occupied a favorable situation, and it was quite difficult to annihilate the Jin army in Liaodong.

The monarchs and ministers of the Western Xia did not think that the Song army would do anything to the Western Xia.

…………

At this time, Luoyang was dilapidated, many palaces were broken, and there was no longer the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Walking on the streets of Luoyang, Zhao Pu felt full of vicissitudes and a sense of twilight and sadness.

Luoyang is not suitable for Dingdu. Not only is the water transportation cut off, but if you want to set the capital, you must dredge the river again; The palace ceased to exist and needed to be rebuilt; And the saddest thing is that the economy is depressed, and there is no atmosphere of the imperial capital at all.

It's just not a good fit. It can only be improvised!

It's like marrying a wife, and there are very few people who can marry while you want it. It's more about improvising.

And at this time, Dingdu can only make do!

Fortunately, along the way, it was in accordance with the rules of the march, there was no chariot and horse honor guard, and many etiquettes were omitted, which saved a lot of costs. Otherwise, a cruise will cost a lot of money!

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Jin army has arrived in Luoyang. Said to negotiate peace. He was willing to offer 100,000 taels of gold, 2,000 minks, 300 ginseng for 100 years, and 20 beauties. I ask for peace! ”

"Western Liao also sent envoys. I am willing to remove the throne, call Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, and be willing to dedicate my daughter Yelu Supu to the emperor and form a good relationship between Qin and Jin! ”

"Xixia also sent a messenger, saying that it is to congratulate Your Majesty on repelling the Jin Army, Zhongxing the Great Song Dynasty, and is willing to respect Your Majesty as a brother!"

Now. Shi Hao, the secretary of Honglu Temple, was announcing that the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, the Western Liao, and the Dajin envoys came one after another. Or negotiate peace, or form an alliance, or congratulate. The meaning contained in it is great, which means that the Three Kingdoms are bowing to the Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of the ministers of the Song Dynasty, this was extremely glorious.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been in a state of aggrieved, although it is possible to deceive oneself and others, and it can be used to achieve spiritual victory, as long as there is some self-esteem and some humanity, it feels humiliated and wants to be ashamed.

It's just that he was defeated again and again, and he sent New Year's coins again and again, breaking his backbone, and he couldn't raise his head anymore.

At this meeting, the defeat of the Jin Army shocked the world, and the Great Song Dynasty was not only Zhongxing, but also went to its peak.

The ministers of the Song Dynasty were all proud, but they were extremely regretful. The emperor said that literature does not do martial arts, and martial arts do not do literature, which objectively excludes literati from the army, which makes the literati extremely embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms are here, see them or not!" Shi Hao asked.

"No, why do you want to see them!" Zhao Pu shook his head, "Say a few good words, send some beautiful gifts, and want to mess me up, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" ”

"Your Majesty, you won't use swords again! The money of the national debt has not been repaid; and the treasury was empty, and there was no silver; The casualties also need to be compensated; The reconstruction of the north also requires a lot of money. I will not be able to move troops for at least five years! ”

"Can't move troops for five years?" Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "In five years, it is just that we will not be able to dispatch more than 100,000 troops, and we will not be able to fight a big war for more than a year." As long as the army is controlled below 50,000 and the war is maintained within half a year, we will still be able to fight! ”

The imperial court is extremely financially constrained, but the bottom line is still there. More importantly, the establishment of banks has led to a financial turnaround.

"Your Majesty, you have to move troops against the Jin Kingdom in a big way!" Shi Hao was surprised.

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "War, it's only a last resort. War is not for fame, not for the sake of showing the merits of the king, war is only for national security, war is only for the interests of the people. Only when diplomacy and money cannot be obtained, war is used. ”

Shi Hao nodded, as if he understood, but didn't seem to understand.

Zhao Pu said: "Let's expose them for a few days first!" ”

"Then Your Majesty, how should Weichen respond to these three kingdoms?" Shi Hao said.

Zhao Pu didn't answer, but asked, "Qing family, why is there a war in the world?" ”

"The facts are disturbed, there are always ambitious people who want to cause trouble in the world, so there is war!" Shi Hao replied.

Zhao Pu said with a smile: "In the world, there are only two countries, one is a weak country and the other is a strong country. Whether it is a strong country or a weak country, if it wants to survive and not be destroyed, it needs to fight constantly, and there will be no peace. Don't think about it, stop the pace of conquest, don't think about Wen Tian and Wu Huan, a country has only two stages, one is the stage of preparing for war, and the other is the stage of fighting a war. If the country is divided into two phases, one is a period of no war and the other is a period of war, the country is not far from extinction! ”

"I hope that Da Song will always stay in the stage of preparing for war, instead of staying away from the stage of war!"

"Wechen understands!" Shi Hao said.

"If there is no force, it will be dangerous, only force will die, stop the war with war, and the benevolent will be invincible!" Zhao Pu said, "Ending war with war does not mean using war to destroy the enemy and end the war; Rather, it is to grasp the initiative of the war and always make the enemy dare not start a war; If the enemy dares to start a war, he will surely be beaten to death! ”

"If you want to negotiate peace, you can make an alliance, but you must completely disintegrate the enemy and no longer have the opportunity to start a war, instead of raising tigers for trouble, giving the enemy a chance to breathe, and fighting dogs instead of dying!" Zhao Pu said, "You go and think about it!" ”

"Wechen understands!"

Shi Hao got up and left, thinking about what the emperor said.

Completely disintegrate the enemy, do not give the opportunity to start a war, and not raise tigers for trouble.

Obviously, if you agree to send some tribute, marriage, honorific titles, etc., it is equivalent to raising a tiger, leaving the enemy a chance to breathe, waiting for the enemy to fatten, and then counterattack and bite.

Suddenly, Shi Hao somewhat understood the emperor's intentions.

It's just how to disintegrate the enemy, Shi Hao is a little at a loss. It seems that there is no other way than to destroy the country, which can completely disintegrate the enemy, but what the emperor said is obviously not war.

Watching Shi Hao leave, Zhao Pu said in his heart: "I hope you understand my true meaning!" ”

Among the courtiers present, Yu Yunwen is a military general, in charge of military power, in charge of military affairs, and can be in charge of alone; In political affairs, Shi Hao also has uniqueness, resourcefulness and decision-making, if carefully cultivated, he is also a generation of famous ministers. It's a pity that I'm too young at the moment, and some things are not very clear.

"Destroying the country is secondary, and punishing the heart is the first. If you only understand the way of war, you don't know the way of punishing your heart, you won't be able to last long! Zhao Pu said with a smile.

At this moment, the Song Dynasty was at its peak, and after a few years of cultivation, it was possible to mobilize troops against the Western Liao, Western Xia, and Jin States. It's just war, it's just a last resort, it's no way, if there is a glimmer of possibility, he won't use troops.

If the war is fought too much, it will kill the red eyes and leave national hatred;

Wars are fought too much, first killing the enemy, and then killing their own people;

When the war was launched, countless cities were destroyed, villages were burned down, people died, turned into a scorched earth, and finally spent a lot of money to rebuild, which is a loss-making business;

The war was waged, a lot of areas were occupied, and after a few decades, it made no sense to go out on their own.
