Chapter 153: The pro-Song Jin Taejo

Zhao Pu reminisced as he said: "The most admired thing in the Jin army is Wanyan Aguda!" ”

"The Jurchens were originally a subordinate clan of the Khitan, and they needed to pay tribute to the Khitan and go on the expedition with the army; When the Liao Emperor was hunting, he was responsible for luring fierce beasts. In the transaction, it is even more expensive to ask for Beizhu, ginseng, mink, etc., and some ironware, salt, etc. are sold at a high price; often asks the Jurchens for Hai Dongqing, which is often unbearable. And the most disgusting thing is that the "silver medal envoy" sent by the Liao State took the opportunity to bully the innocence of the Jurchen women, which was the original situation of the Jurchens. Oppressed, life is hard. However, after a long time of oppression, I gradually forgot to resist, became obedient, and accepted oppression! ”

"Until Wanyan Aguta appeared, the Jurchen clan rose, and the Jurchens were dissatisfied with 10,000 people, and they were invincible. The Jurchens, a small tribe that is not visible in the world, will inevitably be recorded in the annals of history, comparable to the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Khitan. At least the Xiongnu did not destroy the Han Dynasty, the Turks did not destroy the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan did not destroy our Dynasty, but the Jurchens were the first to destroy our Dynasty, and to some extent, they have surpassed the Xiongnu and so on! ”

Wang Wuyue said with some concern: "If it weren't for him, the Jurchens would not have risen, there would be no shame of Jingkang, my father would not have died, and the people in Hedong, Hebei, Henan and other places would not have been displaced!" “

"If he is alive, he will naturally not cook raw rice!"

"Sandwich rice?" Wang Wuyue asked curiously.

"The battle of Song and Jin, isn't it sandwich rice?" Zhao Pu smiled bitterly, "The Jin army launched the wrong war at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and it even formed a great hatred. Don't look at the Jin army's repeated victories, but I really don't like them, even if they capture Henan, Guanshan, Shandong, and even Lianghuai, Xiangfan and other places, they will not achieve the final victory. ”

"The battle between Song and Jin is not one or two years, it can be ended in three or four years, it will be fought intermittently for more than ten years, and both sides are extremely tired of fighting. What is this not sandwich rice? ”

"If he was alive, he wouldn't do such a wrong thing. He seems to be ten martial artists, but in fact, he is extremely careful and cunning!

"At that time, the sea alliance was formed, and the Liao was cut together, and finally the Yanshan Great Wall was bounded by the first line, the south was my dynasty, and the north was the Jin ............," Zhao Pu began to tell Wang Wuyue about that history.

After becoming the emperor, he had to shoulder the responsibility, and at this time, resisting gold was the first priority.

To defeat the enemy, it is necessary to understand the enemy.

Just relying on his chaotic guesses, there are often deviations; And if you ask those ministers for advice, there will also be discrepancies. can only rely on himself, constantly flipping through the information about the Jin State in the library, or the archives left by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, Zhao Pu tried to learn about the real Jin State and the real Jin Army from these first-hand materials.

Historically, the world has often belittled the maritime alliance, believing that it was a major diplomatic mistake of the Song Dynasty to drive the wolf and lead the tiger, to bring down a weak neighbor, to attract a stronger neighbor, and finally to attract the shame of Jingkang.

Zhao Pu used to think so.

But after reading the files of the household department and the Privy Council, I realized that everything was taken for granted.

The high-level leaders of the Song Dynasty were all elites, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, who may not be good at character and discipline, but their ability cannot be ignored. At that time, Tong Guan realized that the strength of the Jin army, the decline of the Liao State, the Jin Army and the Liao State were incompatible, and one of them would inevitably fall, and it was likely that the Jin Army would win.

At that time, the Song Dynasty was bound to come into contact with the Jin State, which could be friendly or fierce.

At that time, the Song Dynasty was faced with three choices in diplomacy: one was to remain neutral, neither ally with the Jin State nor the Liao State, and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight; the second is to unite with the Liao State to attack the Jin State and work together to destroy the Jin; The third is to unite the Jin State and destroy everything.

Maintain neutrality, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, do not offend at both ends, and offend at both ends, this method is the most undesirable.

How to unite with Liao?

Send the army over, will the Liao army agree? Ironclad no.

Support weapons, armor, grain and grass, etc., the Liao army also had them, and the weapons of the Liao army at that time were no worse than those of the Song Dynasty, and they could also produce them themselves. Moreover, at that time, the Liao army had the upper hand in all aspects, such as the number of troops and material reserves, and there was no need for the help of the Song army. Even if he helped the Liao army to destroy the Jin State, would the Liao army be grateful?

Ironclad will not be grateful!

Therefore, it is not advisable to unite the Liao State and destroy the gold.

It can only unite the Jin State and destroy the Liao State, which is the only way.

The Song Dynasty's wishful thinking was to take advantage of the Liaojin battle to quickly occupy the section from Yanshan to Datong, relying on the dangerous terrain to build a defense system and be invincible. It is as if in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the Yanshan-Datong defense line, blocked the southward movement of the Jin army's iron cavalry.

The plan is good, it's just that it's executed, and it's full of loopholes.

The combat effectiveness of the Song army was too inferior, so that the Jin army had eliminated the main force of the Liao army, and the Song army still did not capture the area south of Yanshan, and the so-called defense system could only be a mirror, and finally had to pay for it, hire the Jin army to occupy these areas, and then buy it with money.

And at that time, Jin Taizu actually agreed!

"At that time, because our dynasty failed to capture Yanjing as promised, some people in the Jin army wanted to stop returning Zhuo and Yi. Ah Guta said: 'My alliance with the Great Song Dynasty has been decided, and I must not break the contract, and after I die, I will be familiar with you! 'Give it back as promised. I was able to redeem the six states of Yanjing. ”

"It's just that the Jin army was not satisfied, and finally swept away the people and their property. Later, when negotiating with the Datong generation, our dynasty was willing to increase the annual currency and take back Xijing, Wanyan Xiyin and others advocated handing over the land of Xijing to our dynasty, and all the household registration was swept away, and Aguta said that he was willing to be friendly with the Song Dynasty forever, and Xu Xijingwu, Ying, Shuo, Wei and other prefectures, and land households, without additional taxes, only need to pay a certain amount of military expenses, as compensation for the recovery of Xijing by the Jin soldiers! Everything was wonderful, only a few months later he fell ill and died, and this agreement was not fulfilled! ”

Zhao Pu sighed a little, and in this way, the pro-Song Ah Gu was killed, so the imbalance between the Song and Jin, the economy and the military, eventually led to the outbreak of war.

"This founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom is really a good person?" has always hated the Jin people, and at this time, Wang Wuyue was also full of gratitude to this Jin Taizu.

"Good man, not necessarily!" Zhao Pu sneered: "The unwise are fearless, and the wise are afraid!" Wanyan Aguta is a shrewd person and a wise man, so he chose to be pro-Song; And those in power in Jinguo now, because they are unwise, are fearless! ”

Wang Wuyue was a little confused, "This ......"

"Whether it is the pro-Song Jin Taizu, or the high-level Jin State who is now fighting the main battle, and the peace faction that may appear later, it is essentially to safeguard the interests of the Jin State!" Zhao Pudao, "There are many causes of war, but there are only four purposes, one is to fight for dignity, to fight for survival, to fight for money, and the fourth is to fight for reunification." The battle of Jin Liao is a battle of life and death, it must be the death of Jin Liao, or the death of Jin Liao, this battle is a battle of survival, the Jurchens must fight, and they must win. But what is the Jin army going south for? ”

Wang Wuyue seems to understand a little: "Between Song and Jin, there is no hatred, but there is help, not a battle of dignity; Between Song and Jin, there is no sharp contradiction between life and death, and it is not a battle for survival; At that time, a large amount of ransom money and annual coins were given, and it was not a war of money; And the strength of the Jin army is not enough to destroy our dynasty, and it is not a battle of unification. The Jin army went south twice, not for any of the four purposes. ”

Zhao Pu continued: "I have no hatred with the Jin Kingdom, but it is very helpful. The Jin army was strong in battle, but there was a shortage of materials, especially in bows, crossbows, armor and the like, and at that time, our dynasty sent from Shandong to transport a large amount of materials to Liaodong by sea to finance the Jin army. The Jin army had abundant material resources to be able to defeat the Liao army. ”

"Later, the destruction of the Liao State has become a foregone conclusion, and when the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are redeemed, the greatest benefit is in the Jin State, and it is no longer in our dynasty. The battle of Liaojin is not only a competition of military strength between the two sides, but also a collision of national strength, and finally the Jin army destroyed the Liao State, but there were many casualties, and the financial deficit was serious, and at that time in the fierce siege war, the sixteen states of Youyun suffered war damage, and it was already a blank land. The Jin army occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and not only did it find it difficult to collect taxes from there, but they also carried a heavy burden and needed to spend a lot of money to help the victims. The sixteen states of Youyun can be described as tasteless for the Jin country, and it is a pity to abandon it! ”

"At that time, the ransom fee of our dynasty, coupled with the New Year's coin, allowed the Jin country to not only lose its burden, but also alleviate the plight of the Jin army. So in Yanjing Liuzhou, when the same generation redeemed, Wanyan Agu happily agreed. Because he is a king, he wants to maximize the interests of the Jin country! ”

"At that time, some courtiers advocated going south to crusade against our dynasty, but Aguta refused, and repeatedly decided to send the main battle to attack the Song. Because he knew exactly what the purpose of the war was. War is not a war for the sake of fighting, and only if negotiations cannot be obtained, the army is dispatched. At this time, the negotiation has already benefited, and the interests of the Jin army have been maximized, and there is no need to go to war, but it should be based on cultivation and recuperation! ”

"And at that time, once they went south and attacked Hebei, Hedong and other places, the battle of Song and Jin broke out, unless they could completely destroy our dynasty and completely rule the vast area of our dynasty. Otherwise, there will be a continuous war between Song and Jin, and there will be hatred, even if the two sides want to stop, it will be impossible. At that time, I lost the coins, lost the field, and fell into the quagmire of war, and it was difficult to extricate myself! ”

"In the end, it may be that the Jin Army is undefeated and defeated, and I will win without victory!"
