The law is changing.

And at this moment in Quanzhou, a quiet change is taking place.

Half a year ago, Li Gang was demoted to Fujian and became the regimental training envoy of Quanzhou, and soon after he became the pacification envoy of Fujian Road, he gradually settled down in Fujian.

At this time, Li Gang has lost his previous high spirits, pointing out the country, a little more calm, and a little more vicissitudes. Looking back on the experience of the past three years, Li Gang has a feeling of shame that scholars have misled the country and the party has misled the country, that is to say, scholars like him.

"Your Majesty, I have already done what you instructed me!"

Li Gang was in a trance, and couldn't help but sound the scene that happened half a year ago.

…………

Shandong was lost.

A large area of territory fell, a large number of Song soldiers were defeated, and he, Li Gang, could only come back in disgrace, and then knelt down in front of the palace to plead guilty.

And now Zhao Pu is sitting on the dragon chair, his face gloomy; "Li Gang, are you guilty? I said that the soldiers are fierce and sinister, and the soldiers should be used carefully, the 200,000 army, as long as it is used properly, even if it is defeated, it will not be a rout like this, but now it is good, in just two months, the whole territory of Shandong has fallen! ”

"Wechen is guilty!" Li Gang said with a decadent expression.

At this moment, he has the heart to die, first defeated in Hedong, and then defeated in Shandong, it seems that he has never won a battle. Defeated again and again, lost ground again and again, each crime is enough to make him die 10,000 times. It's just that the saint won't, because the Great Song Dynasty doesn't kill the scholars.

It's just that demotion is inevitable, and exile is inevitable, and he is leaving the court again.

"It's easy to know your sins, but have you thought about how to make up for your sins?" Zhao Pu said indifferently.

"I don't know what Your Majesty means?"

"The country is picturesque, and the country is like a big chess game!" As he spoke, Zhao Pu clapped his hands, and the eunuchs came out and lifted a huge sand table out. The sand table is the size of the Eight Immortals Table, but it covers the north to the desert, the west to the Western Regions, the south to the South Sea countries, and the east to the sea. On the whole, it is extremely simple, but it has the momentum of the all-encompassing domain.

"Qing family, what is the world?" Zhao Pu suddenly asked.

"The world?" Li Gang pondered for a long time and replied, "There are clouds in ancient books, and the four Yi are limited, the south is not barbaric, the north is not Di, the east is not Yi, the west is not Qiang, between the four Yi, it is the world!" ”

"What is the world? As big as the heart is, the world is as big as it is; How strong the country is, how big the world is! Zhao Pu said, "In the Shang Dynasty, the land of Henan was the world, and the rest of the regions were barbarians; In the Zhou Dynasty, north of the Yangtze River, south of Yanshan, west of Qi State, and east of Hexi, that is, the world, at that time, Shandong was Dongyi, Shaanxi was Ximan, and Xiangfan was Chuman; When it arrived in the Qin State, it started from Liaodong, west to Gansu and Sichuan, north to Yinshan, south to northern and central Vietnam, and southwest to Yunnan and Guangxi, which is the world. By the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the land stretched from the Korean Peninsula in the east, to the West Asia west of the Aral Sea in Central Asia, to Hue in Vietnam in the south, and to Lake Baikal in the north to below the Arctic Ocean. There were many ethnic minorities guarding the border around the Tang Dynasty, and in order to effectively manage the Turkic, Hui, Jian, Tiele, Murowei, Khitan, etc., they set up six major metropolitan protectorates, such as Anxi, Anbei, Andong, Annan, Shanyu and Beiting. ”

"And when it comes to my court, don't say anything!"

Li Gang's expression was indifferent, but sadness flashed in his heart: from the Shang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it was an expansion, but in the Song Dynasty, the Liao State first occupied Youyun and confronted the north and south of the Song Dynasty; Later, the Western Xia seized one side and threatened the Western Empire. Now it is directed at the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the two emperors have been captured.

One is not good, that is, the river is divided; One bad thing is that the mountains and rivers are broken.

"I don't know, Qing family, is there a way to restore my Han and Tang dynasties?" Zhao Pu asked.

Li Gang said: "Our army is weak and outnumbered, the Jin army is like a tiger and a wolf, and the ministers are poor? ”

Not rhetoric at the moment.

Zhao Pu said: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Don't just focus on Shandong, Henan, and Guanzhong's generation, but focus on the world. Just focusing on the gains and losses of one place, and ignoring the overall situation, is destined to exhaust the national strength, troops, and finally destroy the country! ”

"Now, since the rise of the Jurchens, it has only been a few decades, but the Jurchen soldiers are only tens of thousands, the land is less than a thousand miles, the people are poor and the soldiers are few, but it is difficult to overcome the strong. Now the Jin army destroyed the Liao State, defeated the Western Xia, and chased our dynasty to the north, and the two emperors were captured, and the momentum was extremely strong, and this honesty is unpredictable. And my dynasty has lost the land of clouds, it has been a hundred years, the shield is not there, the iron cavalry can directly point to the hinterland of my dynasty, the soldiers are extremely weak, and it is okay to suppress the displaced people, but against the army of the golden army and the tiger and wolf, it is very inferior. The first time the Jin army went south, forcing us to pay compensation for the land cession, the second time it went south to capture Bianliang, and the third time it swept across both sides of the Yellow River, pointing directly to the Huai River. ”

"Defeat after defeat, even if there is a slight victory in the part, it can save the overall defeat, it seems that our dynasty is really going to die! But will it really be ruined? No! ”

Zhao Pu said in a firm tone, "Why did our dynasty lose so much, just because I didn't give full play to the strong national strength of my dynasty, and we fought for each other!" In the future, the Great Song Dynasty will be transformed into a whole and become a war machine, just like the Qin State after the Shang Dynasty, the whole people will resist Jin, not just a certain place, a certain general will resist Jin. ”

"Soon, north of the Qinling Mountains of the Huai River, the land of our dynasty will fall, and it will become the land of the Jin army, which will be the occupied area and the guerrilla area, intending to attack and harass the Jin army, making it difficult for the Jin army to consolidate and sleep and eat. The front line of Hanzhong, Xiangyang, and Yangzhou will become the frontier of the anti-Jin, and this will become the front line of the anti-Jin, and it will become the focus of repeated contention between our dynasty and the Jin country, and we must hold the frontier and stabilize the situation, so that the situation will not deteriorate, which is the focus of our war in the next five years, or even ten years! And the south of the Yangtze River, the Jiangnan region, the two lakes and other areas, Guangdong and Guangxi, to become the rear of our army, the source of troops, finance, taxation, etc., must be taken from here! ”

"With the right approach, you can be on the defensive and win the opportunity to recuperate. However, this is not enough, but also to defend instead of attacking, only by constantly attacking, can we consume the enemy and develop ourselves! And where is the point of the attack? Not in Shandong, not in Henan, not in Shaanxi, but in Youyun, in Liaodong! ”

"The lack of horses and the weakness of the cavalry will inevitably be the shortcomings of our dynasty. Only by shortening the attack distance and directly attacking the hinterland of the Jin army is the best policy, and building a navy and attacking across the sea will be the inevitable choice to resist Jin! ”

"The navy is different from the navy. The navy only sails between inland rivers, mainly guarding the Yangtze River, fighting on some large lakes, and the focus of the operation is to defend; And the focus of the navy is on attack, a small navy is a small attack, and a large navy is a big attack. Once a strong enough navy is built, the so-called rear of the Jin army, the so-called hinterland, will be in constant war. Thousands of miles of sea defense line, can the Jin army defend it? Even if it is prevented, how much does it cost? ”

"This time, when you go to Fujian Road and Quanzhou, you will be degraded, and it will also give you an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Quanzhou has developed maritime transportation, and it is there to build a strong navy! ”
