Today's battle between the court and the court is nothing more than a battle between the peace and the main battle faction.

The dispute between the peace talks and the main battle faction is nothing more than a dispute over where to move the capital and how to resist gold. The former advocated moving the capital to Chang'an, and the latter advocated moving the capital to the southeast. The former is numb and pessimistic about the prospect of anti-gold, and has a serious fear of gold; The latter is too ignorant of Kim and has no reasonable anti-Kim policy.

This time, Zhao Pu planned to unify the thinking of the high-level leaders of the Song Dynasty through debate, persuasion, and make the high-level goals clear and clear the anti-Jin plan for the next 20 years.

First of all, he raised a debate on where to set the capital, and first of all, he refuted the idea of moving the capital to the southeast of the country.

On the sand table, Zhao Pu placed various small flags, constantly making military deductions, calculating the investment of troops on both sides, the demand for grain and grass, and the comparison of combat power, which means that once the capital is moved to the southeast, it means that Hedong, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other large areas of northern territory will fall, which means that it can only be on the defensive in the future battle formation, with more than enough defense and insufficient attack.

Moving the capital to the southeast means not only losing the north, but also losing the opportunity of the Northern Expedition.

In short, all kinds of pros and cons are analyzed.

After finishing the story, Wang Boyan raised questions one by one and Zhao Pu refuted them one by one, and Huang Qianshan, Du Yun, etc. also appeared one after another, and they were also refuted by Zhao Pu.

Half an hour later, the peace faction finally had nothing to say and vetoed the move of the capital to the southeast.

In the course of the debate, the main battle faction secretly rejoiced that the officials were on their side. But before it was too late to rejoice, His Majesty the Emperor vetoed the idea of moving the capital to Chang'an, and the main battle faction could only come on the field one after another and say the benefits of moving the capital to Chang'an one by one.

And Zhao Pu talked about the disadvantages of moving the capital to Chang'an one by one, of course, as a supplement, he also mentioned some of the advantages of moving the capital to Chang'an, but it was only seven points of disadvantage and three points of benefit, and the gains outweighed the losses.

At this time, the peacemakers were happy again.

After a long time, Zhao Pu refuted the opinion of the main battle faction to move the capital to Chang'an.

At this time, Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tongue fought against the ministers, which was not fun at all, and he refuted them one by one, and his mouth was dry. If it is a contest of swords and swords, he can't compare with the horse. It can only be an asymmetrical debate, and these ministers use the views of righteousness, patriarchy, politics, and reputation to stand on their feet; And he used it to refute it with a military point of view, the power comes out of the barrel of a gun, military victory is the foundation of everything, and without military victory everything is illusory.

One trick is eaten all over the world, and one trick breaks ten thousand laws.

In the end, these ministers can only retreat in a stupid manner, silent, who makes them cunning in officialdom, but illiterate in military affairs.

Zhao Pu never intended to convince these ministers that it was too difficult in his words.

There are two major difficulties in the world, one is to put other people's money in your own pocket, and the other is to put your own thoughts into other people's heads.

The young of these ministers are also in their thirties, most of them are in their forties and fifties, and some are even in their sixties.

Their minds have already taken shape, their world view, values, and outlook on life have long been formed, and it is very difficult to change their inherent views, even more difficult than killing them. Zhao Puke didn't say arrogantly, and after saying it, he was angry and convinced these people that it was impossible.

However, Zhao Pu can use this to tell his views to the ministers.

Understand or not, this is your problem; But it had to be carried out, because I am the emperor. As long as you don't want to be demoted, as long as you don't want to be exiled, you will be obedient and follow my anti-gold policy.

Zhao Pu said, "In troubled times, you must recognize the situation, and then follow the trend, understand the general trend, and never go against the trend." For example, this snowflake is born in summer and winter, and melts in winter and spring. Everything has its own potential, and if you want snow in summer, this is what you do against the trend, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

And the so-called general trend is that when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together, and heroes will not be free. There are few sentient beings, most of them are just people who go with the flow, only sensitive people can take advantage of the trend, worship the king, and some emperors are taking the opportunity to chase the world and win the Central Plains. And some people are blessed, such as Li Tang, they really do things like heaven and earth working together, but they occupy Hedong in more than ten years, take Guanzhong, Ping Xue Ju, destroy Wang Shiyun, recover Wagang, defeat Dou Jiande, easily destroy Luo Yi, and finally sweep away Jiangnan, luck is extremely good. ”

"On the other hand, in our dynasty, Emperor Taizu fought a mere Taiyuan City, but he didn't fight it three times; Emperor Taizong sent troops to the Khitan, but he was defeated. Could it be that Taizu, Taizong Jiu is not as good as Li Yuan and Li Shimin, is it that the soldiers are not as brave as the Tang Army, and the soldiers are not as good as the Tang Army in terms of their wisdom, but in the final analysis, I am inferior to him. ”

"Why is the general trend of our dynasty inferior to the Tang Army, because Emperor Shi Jingjiao betrayed the lord to seek glory and ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, it is my Great Song Dynasty who lost the defense line along the Great Wall of Yanshan, which is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging on his head, and if he is not careful, he will lose his life!"

"Jingkang's shame, some people say that it is the fault of the six thieves, I say that I think too highly of the six thieves; Some people say that Wang Anshi changed the law, which brought disaster to the country and the people; Some people say that it is the dispute between the new party and the old party, and the court is in turmoil; Some people say that it is because of the disadvantage of my soldiers, the comfort of the soldiers, and the low combat power. This is not the main reason, the fundamental reason is that Shi Jingjiao betrayed the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun! ”

"The people kept saying that they were still in Bianliang, and they kept saying that they wanted to recover Hedong and Hebei, and how narrow the gas was. Even if it is still Bianliang, even if it recovers Hedong, what about Hebei, as long as it does not recover the clouds, the land of Hedong and Hebei will be unstable, and Bianliang may fall again. Why don't you propose to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun? If you don't recover the clouds, it is equivalent to wearing a rope around your neck, and life and death are in the hands of others! ”

"It may be that the recovery of Hedong and Hebei will usher in one victory after another, one victory after another, but behind the victory, behind the victory, there may be another sorghum river fiasco. If the Jin army retreats step by step, lures the enemy into depth, lengthens the battle line, concentrates the main forces, and breaks through each one, then our army will be defeated. ”

"This is different from the defeat of the Gaoliang River in the Taizong era, when it was defeated, it was still possible to hold Hebei; But if we lose, all the north of the Yangtze River may be lost, and even the community will be destroyed! ”

Zhao Pu was on another sand table and got insightful. This sand table is mainly in Hebei and Youyun areas, and various important towns are clearly marked.

"Count carefully, our dynasty not only lost battles, but also won many victories with the Khitan, Western Xia, Liao, and later Jin. It's just that it doesn't matter how many victories you have, what matters is that as long as you lose the last time, the whole army will be defeated and suffer heavy losses. How so? I found many reasons, but I couldn't convince myself. “

"The war with the Jin army is divided into three stages, one is the early stage, which may lose a lot of ground and lose a large number of battles, and a large number of areas such as Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Lianghuai, and Xiangfan will fall. This period is the most tragic era of our dynasty 0, it may be that there are countless generals, many soldiers, and a large number of scholars and doctors surrendered to the Jin army. During this period, the main combat task was to concentrate superior forces and annihilate a section of the Jin Army at a time when the Jin Army was attacking in large numbers and its forces were scattered, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place. During this period, the emphasis was on military training, using the battlefield as a training ground and training a strong army at the cost of death. ”

"The second stage, the main combat mission, is the confrontation stage, and during this period, there may be mutual victories and defeats. The emphasis was on consolidating the defensive line, continuing to hone the army in constant battles, and at the same time cultivating and recuperating in the rear, carrying out a series of reforms, developing agriculture and mulberry, and reducing taxes; Mass storage of war materiel and restoration of civilian strength. During this period, it is necessary to stabilize the front line to avoid a major defeat, and the rear is an active recuperation. ”

"The third stage is the Northern Expedition. At this time, the treasury was abundant, and the soldiers were elite, and they could go on a northern expedition. Of course, the Northern Expedition was not a one-time effort to conquer the 16 states of Youyun, but to stop and stop, do what it can, focus on attacking instead of defending, and consuming the enemy's financial resources and troops with attack. Don't fantasize about destroying the Jin Kingdom in World War I, and don't fantasize about destroying the Jin Kingdom in three and five years. I'm seventeen years old now, and I can live at least thirty years, and it would be nice to destroy the Kingdom of Jin in my lifetime! ”

The Northern Expedition was divided into two periods, the early stage was Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, and the battle for the two Huai. At this stage, as long as the Song army did not make low-level mistakes and was cautious, it was very easy to achieve victory. It is easy to recover Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places. However, it is easy to recover, but it is difficult to hold on; ”

"In the later period, it was the battle for the Youyun region, which was the decisive battle between Song and Jin, and this was the big battle that determined the national fortunes of the two countries. If our dynasty wins, we can recover Youyun, and take advantage of the favorable terrain of the Great Wall of Youyun to be invincible, while the Jin army is completely defeated, and can only survive; If the Song Dynasty is defeated, it will lose the strategic achievements in the early stage, and Henan, Hebei and other places will be lost again; The most important thing is that the vitality is greatly damaged, and there is no need to talk about the Northern Expedition within 20 years, so be mentally prepared to be on the side of peace and destroy the country! ”

"During the Northern Expedition, the really difficult battle was the battle for the clouds, when our army was tired from a long battle, which was the first drawback; Our army is deep into the front line, the grain and grass are difficult to transport, and the grain route is dangerous, which is the second drawback; The third drawback is that there are many lands recovered, and if the disaster relief is improper, corrupt officials are rampant, or the remnants of the Jin army are wiped out, the rear will be unstable. ”

Zhao Pu was most worried, "The moment closest to success is often the closest moment to failure!" ”
