Chapter 6 "Song Dynasty Edition" on the Protracted War
"In the treasury, someone has done something!" Song Huizong's face became gloomy.
"Definitely." Zhao Pu's face was full of hatred, and he said with murderous aura, "Military attaches are not afraid of death, civil officials are not greedy for money, how can a small Jin country show off its might under Bianliang City." It's not that the Jin army is too powerful, but the military attache is too afraid of death, and when he encounters the Jin people, he is like a rabbit, the general runs faster than the soldiers, the soldiers run faster than the common people, and the hundreds of thousands of troops are chased by the tail like a lost dog; And the civil officials are greedy for money and lustful, in ordinary times, singing and composing, picking up girls and girls, greedy for money and food in the Mofu Treasury is a good hand, and there are just few people who are afraid of corruption, and they are afraid that the money in the family is not enough, but at a critical moment...... Hum! ”
"In this battle, my Great Song Dynasty is facing a situation of life and death, it is not the sin of my father, but the sin of these bastards!" Saying that, Zhao Pu's face was full of grief, "It's not that my father is incompetent, it's that the ministers have mistaken my father!" ”
As he spoke, he whimpered, and the long sleeves on his arms covered his face, looking grief-stricken.
When he thought of the era he was in, Zhao Pu was terrified.
Born decades early, then you can live a happy life freely; If you are a few decades late, you can be safe and happy. But tragically, he became the prince of the Song Dynasty, and happened to be born in the Jingkang era, which was too tragic. Is this the work of the main character?
As soon as he thought of the ferocity of the Jin army and the terrible nature of the golden vultures, he was terrified in his heart. He is not Yue Fei who has the courage of ten thousand people and has the Yue family army with superior combat power, nor is it that Qin Hui is willing to be a traitor and does not change his face, let alone Song Huizong and Song Qinzong are willing to be prisoners and can bear the life of grievances, he is just a prince who lives like a parasite.
Now he is boastful, and the talk on paper is okay, but when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, he is not even as good as Zhao Kuo; If it is about governing the world, he is not even qualified to be a county magistrate.
He said that he was a prince and extremely noble; To put it mildly, he is just a parasite, a bastard who sucks the blood of working people, exploits the people's fat and ointment, and lives a drunken life of dreams and death.
Previously, he also trampled on a woman's dignity by his power and took away her innocence, but there was no law to punish him.
If the Song Dynasty is still there, he can still live a parasitic life; If the Song Dynasty died, he would have lost his support, and he would have lived a miserable life.
Without the protection of the royal family, without the privileges of the royal family, what can he do?
Farming, the physique is too poor, the four bodies are not diligent, and the grains are not divided, which is not the material for farming;
As an official, with his shallow knowledge, it is thankful that he can be admitted to a showman;
In business, you can indeed rely on the golden finger to make some small inventions. But without the protection of power, these small inventions will become the object of coveting by others, and those corrupt officials have a hundred means to kill him alive, and there is nowhere to shout injustice.
It can be said that as long as the Song Dynasty does not die, everything is easy to say; If the Song Dynasty died, it would be impossible to live the life of an ordinary person.
Thinking that the shame of Jingkang was coming, and the Song Dynasty was facing a sad situation, Zhao Pu felt uncomfortable, at first he was a little acting, but the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, the more sad he was, the more he wanted to cry, and in the end, half of his sleeves were soaked. The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
Crying and crying, Zhao Pu noticed that Song Huizong on the side also cried, looking a little sad.
Is crying contagious? Zhao Pu said in his heart.
"Could it be that the Song Dynasty is going to die?" Song Huizong said sadly, "During the Southern Dynasty, Empress Chen sang the Hou* Courtyard Flower, and her family and country were shattered and she became a prisoner of the Sui Dynasty; Later, Li Yu in Nantang was also destroyed by our Song army and became the king of the country. Do I also want to become the queen of Chen, Nantang Li Yu, the king of the dead country? ”
Song Huizong is not stupid, but very smart. Not smart, can you write a thin gold body? Not smart, can there be such a wonderful painting?
In fact, Song Huizong has never been stupid, the situation between the DPRK and China, the mentality of the ministers, and the changes in the world, he has always been clear. Just knowing what's going on doesn't mean you can change anything. Just like many people also know that they must study hard, make progress every day, and be admitted to a good university, but in practice, due to various subjective and objective reasons, the plan is still a plan and has not been finally realized.
I think that at the beginning, when he ascended the throne, he also worked hard to make the country prosperous, and wanted to do a career and be a good emperor, but in practice, he found that he was a little bit of a master and a master, and the difficulty of national affairs far exceeded that of writing poems and paintings, and everything was unsatisfactory. After a series of polishing, he gradually lost interest and settled in poetry and painting. And handed over the complicated affairs of the court to Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, Yang Jian and others, these people are not Qing officials, nor are they capable officials, and they do not have the talents of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but at least they are loyal and can solve troubles for him.
Originally, I thought that after being the emperor for a few years, I would pass on the throne and be the emperor who was at ease, and then I could enjoy the landscape poetry and painting, but it was a pity that the Jin army went south and broke all this.
Song Huizong knew that if one was not good, he would be the queen of Chen, the king of the fallen country like Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Father, the Jin Army is not the Sui Army of the year, but the army of barbarians. Empress Chen and Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty surrendered, and the new dynasty would treat them well in order to appease the people's hearts and control them. But the Jin army is not, if they surrender, they are worse than dead. My father can remember the tragic situation when Tubo captured Chang'an; Can my father remember the scene of Yongjia's funeral when Luoyang and Chang'an were captured during the Wuhu Rebellion? Zhao Pu said.
Zhao Ji's heart trembled, he was familiar with history, and naturally knew what it meant for Tubo to capture Chang'an and Yongjia's funeral.
In the millennium of China, the so-called land reparation is not a shame, the so-called peace with relatives is not a shame, and the most shameful thing is that the country has been attacked by foreign races. The capital of the country is the heart of an empire, the face of an empire, the fall of the emperor is a fatal blow to the entire nation, and that era is also the most lost and darkest era for the entire Han people.
After the Yongjia funeral, tens of millions of Han people were reduced to pigs and dogs, large-scale massacres, Han people in Hebei and the Central Plains and other places were empty, and tens of millions of people became millions. And Tubo broke through Chang'an, although it was later recovered by Guo Ziyi, but it was the most humiliating period of the Tang Dynasty.
"Is it war, or is it peace?" Song Huizong stabilized his emotions and asked again.
"I have six wins and six defeats. One victory, I have a lot of soldiers, a lot of finances and taxes, and a vast territory, which is the biggest capital of my dynasty. The capital is deep, even if you are defeated again and again, you can form troops and fight again. The combat strength of our army is not as good as that of the Jin army, its training is not as good as that of the Jin army, and its generals are not as good as the Jin army, but in the midst of repeated defeats and constant death and bloodshed, sooner or later it will become an elite division. ”
"What is a strong army? A strong army is not born of training, not rewarded by money, but tempered by constant death, constant fighting, and constant fighting. At that time, the army of tigers and wolves of the Qin State swallowed heaven and earth and destroyed the six countries, and the momentum was extremely strong. But who knows that the Qin State was also a weak country in the early days, and in the war with the Wei State, it lost the land west of the river one after another. In the midst of successive defeats, the Qin State rose again with great resilience and dominated the world. Nowadays, our army's combat strength is not as good as the Jin army, a few hundred Jin army iron cavalry can defeat tens of thousands of Song army, although the western army is strong, but in front of the Jin army, it is also like a ruin. But in the midst of constant failures, even fools will sum up their experience, make up for their shortcomings, and find their opponents' shortcomings. At that time, the spring of our Song army will come, and it may be that the same number of Song troops will fight to a draw with the Jin army, or even be completely defeated! ”
Zhao Pu began to narrate, the Song Dynasty version of the protracted war!
The capital of the Song Dynasty is too strong, with a strong GDP, a strong culture, a strong science and technology, a strong population base, and a broad territory, forming a strong integrated national strength, even if the military slag is to the extreme, but it can also make up for these deficiencies to a certain extent. Even if he has been defeated repeatedly, he can organize a powerful army of thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands anytime and anywhere. You can attack the Jin army again and again, and drag down the rapid advance of the Jin army.
The capital of the Song Dynasty was too rich, and it could pay tuition for military defeats again and again. In the continuous payment of tuition, the combat power of the Song army will continue to rise and reach the qualification to resist the Jin army.
Song Huizong was a little dissatisfied, and the premise of all this was that Song Jun was too wasteful.
"Ersheng, the Jin State rose between the white mountains and black waters, enslaved by the Liao army, and then could not bear the harsh government of the Liao State, coupled with the eloquent and strategic Wanyan A bone fight, the Jurchen rose strongly, and destroyed the Liao State in more than ten years, and it threatened our dynasty, and its powerful edge shocked the world and was shocked. In my opinion, this is also the biggest flaw of the Jin Army. The rise of the Jin Kingdom is too fast, from a barbaric tribe to a powerful empire in more than ten years, the vast soil north of the Yellow River, all in the hands, relying on a powerful iron horse, sharp and unparalleled attack power. But to govern the world, the iron horse has no effect. ”
"There has always been only a horse to fight the world, but not a horse to rule the world. At this time, there was a shortage of talents in the Jin Kingdom, and most of the officials were original Khitan officials or Han officials, who were forced to submit to the Jin army, but they were not necessarily convinced in their hearts; And the high-level of the Jin Army is also suspicious of these officials and takes advantage of them. There is discord between each other's faces and hearts. The Jin State ostensibly occupied these areas, but in fact its rule was extremely empty, and the remnants of the Liao army and the rebel army in the territory rose and fell, tossing the rear like rats. The rear is unstable, and the attack power of the Jin army is limited! Zhao Pu said as he pondered.
"And if we want to consolidate these areas and stabilize the rear, it will take at least five years for the Jin Kingdom, which will leave a respite for our dynasty. During this period, the Jin army would suspend the offensive, and the main enemy of our Song Dynasty at this time was the rebel army supported by the Jin army. And these people have poor combat effectiveness, which happens to be the whetstone of my Song army. In these five years, the Jin army will have the opportunity to consolidate the rear, while our Song army will have the opportunity to train its troops. At that time, if we fight again, the Jin army will be unlucky! “
Song Huizong's eyes lit up, and he said: "The rear of the Jin Kingdom is unstable, this is indeed my Song army's victory!" ”
"Three victories, this is a country established by the Jin army as a barbarian, there is no loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, honesty and shame, and there is no complete system like our dynasty. If it is a war, the various contradictions within the Jin State are not too obvious; But once it is settled, there will be infighting within the Jin Kingdom at that time. In order to compete for the throne, those princes will fight each other; Those low-level Jurchen people also lived a miserable life, while those Jurchen magnates lived a luxurious life, and the two would inevitably contradict each other; There are also Jurchen and Khitan people, Bohai people, Xi people, and Han people will also fight constantly. The continuous internal friction will greatly consume the strength of the Jin country, and it will also bring opportunities to our army! ”
PS: After reading the history books, the record of Jingkang's shame is very vague, and it seems that historians consciously ignore this part.
In the relevant history books, the impression left by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty is nothing more than two points: mentally retarded and weak.
The weakness is understandable, there were too many literati in the Song Dynasty, and many literati lacked courage. But the brain-dead can't agree, as an important minister of the court, which one is not fighting step by step, intrigue, and deciding not to be brain-dead. They may not understand military affairs, they may make many mistakes, but they are definitely not brainless.
