Chapter 132 Popularize Military Common Sense
Zhao Pu never thought that how high his military talent was, he had always been half a bucket of water. The battle plan was often formulated by Wang Yan, Wang Shouyi, Li Pojun and others, and then he acted as a reviser and decision-maker. In every major battle, it is often they who lead their soldiers to rush and kill, break through the enemy's large array, and annihilate the enemy. And he just sat on the sidelines, quietly watching until the end of the battle.
It is a military taboo for a layman to command an insider.
As the commander-in-chief and as the supreme leader, what Zhao Pu needs is to formulate a general operational strategy, formulate a training outline, strictly enforce military discipline, boost morale, do a good job in logistics work, and so on.
Because it is half a bucket of water, Zhao Pu is well aware of his own shortcomings, and he continues to learn and improve his level. At this time, the military level was still not good, but it far exceeded the various military illiterates present.
In Zhao Pu's view, Li Gang's Ten Proposals are completely military and political idiots, and whoever uses him is unlucky.
"Discuss state affairs, concentrate on self-defense, establish feudal towns in key places, set up marshal's mansions in the south of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and Huai River, repair and strengthen the city walls, renovate equipment, coach naval troops, and practice chariots, so that the enemy will have no harvest of plundering and retreat from the worry of being intercepted and attacked. Although the enemy sometimes haunts the haunts, he will not dare to penetrate deep into the interior because of this. In the past three years, the military and government have become more sophisticated, and the armor chariots are all available, and then they will crusade against the Jin State. ”
This is a literati on military affairs, and idiots are incomparable. From east to west, to build a thousand-mile defense line, how much money and food is lost, and whether the treasury can support it is not to say, the strength alone is not enough, from east to west, at least 300,000 elite soldiers are needed, and there are countless village soldiers as auxiliaries to defend.
But where did the soldiers come from? Where will it come from?
Without considering all of them, without considering the realities, this seemingly grand defense plan was proposed.
The actual situation is that after two battles with the Jin army, the forbidden army was completely annihilated, leaving only local chickens and dogs; The Western Army was completely wiped out, leaving only the remnants of the defeated army.
At this time, the regular army of the Song Dynasty was completely annihilated, and the new army had not yet been trained.
How can we build without soldiers, generals, and financial resources?
This defense system can only be a utopian dream, and it can only be a bit of a lust in the mind, without the slightest possibility of practice.
Even if you are lucky, if you really form this defense system, can you prevent the Jin Army?
Only by concentrating superior forces can the enemy be destroyed, and if the troops are scattered on the thousand-mile defense line, they will only be eaten by the Jin army one bite at a time.
Defending everywhere is bound to be lost everywhere.
Li Gang envisioned that the Northern Expedition in three years would be too underestimated for the Jin Army. The Jin army is not a local chicken, the Jin army is more ferocious than the Khitan and the party, and the northern expedition will be carried out in three years, which is too impatient and a little utopian.
In Zhao Pu's view, the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom must be cautious, and the blind Northern Expedition is often "Yuan Jia is grassy, and the north is panicked".
Historically, the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia for 16 years, the Jin Kingdom for 24 years, and the Southern Song Dynasty for 45 years. It has never been easy to destroy the country, especially the regime that is half farming and half pastoral, and it is even more difficult.
In Zhao Pu's opinion, it would be a stroke of luck to destroy the Jin Kingdom in twenty years; If you spend a lifetime and be able to destroy the Jin Kingdom, you will be lucky.
He doesn't think he is more awesome than Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, and he must be self-aware.
Three years later, during the Northern Expedition, Zhao Pu was speechless...... What a genius idea.
"The second discussion is fortunate, the situation in the world, Guanzhong is the first, Xiangyang, Dengzhou is second, and Jiankang is second. Today, Chang'an should be the western capital, Xiangyang as the southern capital, and Jiankang as the eastern capital, respectively, appoint vassals, build cities, renovate palaces, and accumulate dry food for the emperor's visit. After the completion of the three capitals, there are three benefits: the first can be used in the name of patrol luck to urge all parties to make the country not too weak; The second item is not to set up a fixed capital, so that the enemy has nothing to watch for me; The third item is that the Quartet hopes that His Majesty will be lucky, and the traitor has nothing to covet. As for Bianliang is the location of the Zongmiao Sheji, which is the foundation of the world, at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, how could he not see the Zongmiao to calm the hearts of the people in the capital! It is hoped that the edict will be issued first, and in the name of repairing the pilgrimage mausoleum, the date will be selected to visit Bianliang. ”
In Zhao Pu's view, it is the fantastic military view of the literati.
"In the situation of the world, Guanzhong is the first-class, followed by Xiangyang and Dengzhou, and Jiankang is second." This sentence once again shows Li Gang's military ignorance.
Guanzhong was superior, which was before the middle of the Tang Dynasty; After the Tang Dynasty, it was the superior class that became inferior. Before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the economic center of gravity was in the north, which occupied the main population and wealth; The South is just a supporting role. At this time, controlling Guanzhong is equivalent to controlling the world.
At that time, the water and soil flow in Guanzhong was not too serious, the land was fertile, and the grain production was high. Guanzhong has a dangerous terrain and is densely populated. With his back against Longyou, you can get good horses from it; and relying on Hedong in the north, it can gain the initiative to attack the grassland in the north; Sichuan, in the south, provides a large amount of grain and grass, and it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and it is the best place to set the capital.
However, after the Tang Dynasty, especially in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Guanzhong became a place of death.
Because of the serious soil erosion in Guanzhong, grain production has been greatly reduced; And the Longyou generation in the north was divided by the Western Xia, lost the land of good horses, and the land east of the river was occupied by the Jin army.
Dingdu Guanzhong, will only end up with enemies on three sides, neither can protect itself, but also lose the southeast land.
Dingdu Guanzhong, just a policy.
The capital is Jiankang, which is equivalent to giving up large areas of land such as Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi to the Jin Army. And the most terrible thing is that Jiankang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a prosperous place for a generation, and in a luxurious environment, strong soldiers will become weak soldiers, and heroic talents will become waste slag.
Dingdu is healthy, which is also the next policy. Dingdu is healthy, which means that the Northern Expedition has become an empty shadow.
It is the best policy to set the capital Xiangfan generation, which can not only link Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places, but also threaten Henan, so that Henan will become a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it.
In Zhao Pu's view, the situation in the world is that Xiangyang and Dengzhou are the best, Jiankang is second, and Guanzhong is second.
…………
The three pardon decrees are not to pardon the courtiers of the Song Qinzong era, and there is some retaliation. This shows that Li Gang is too bad-minded and too bad-bearing.
The four discussions were disobedient, and Zhang Bangchang was cut down, and his body was displayed in the city to warn the rebellious ministers and thieves. This is the principle of retaliation, naked provocation and not killing the doctor. In short, Li Gang cut down the six thieves in the past, and now he wants to cut Zhang Bangchang, and he wants to set a precedent of internal fighting and putting people to death, and objectively, he has set an example for Qin Hui to frame Yue Fei. Besides, Zhang Bangchang is just a puppet emperor, and if he loses him, the Jin army will support one, and it is almost impossible to kill people.
The five discussions on false orders should severely punish the scholars who served in the pseudo-Zhou, or the scholars who surrendered to the Jin Army and lost their integrity.
Seeing this, Zhao Pu only had one feeling that Li Gang was really a political idiot, an irremediable idiot. Now that the Jin army has retreated, but who knows when it will go south again, the most important thing at this moment is not to liquidate, but to stabilize people's hearts, ease the tense situation, and stability is overwhelming. When the situation stabilizes, it is not too late to liquidate.
But this goods, it turned out that the liquidation was done at this time, the time was wrong, the place was wrong, and the occasion was wrong. Once the liquidation is initiated, the scope of the attack is too wide, and at least it means that tens of thousands of doctors and doctors will be implicated. If you add tampering with the facts and taking revenge with personal gains, the number of people will be even greater. This not only made the stable situation more chaotic, but also caused instability in the imperial court, and if one was not good, he, the emperor, would also have to fall.
The military and government have been abandoned for a long time, and a new set of discipline should be drawn up to make rewards and punishments clear. Seven councils were held along the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Huai River, and the resistance forces were arranged to choke the enemy's key points.
These two articles are very well stated, but they are too brief to be detailed.
Eight discussions on the government, the government is out of many doors, eunuchs, blessings, and female favorites have been able to intervene in the affairs of the imperial court, and they must reuse virtuous ministers. The Nine Councils instructed that the promotion and dismissal of ministers during the Jingkang period was too fast, and the effect was not obvious, and he should be selected and appointed for a long time in order to require him to succeed.
These two articles objectively offended many people.
Ten discussions on cultivating virtue, Your Majesty has just accepted the mandate of heaven, and should have a beautiful virtue of filial piety and frugality, in order to be commensurate with the expectations of the world. Doesn't that mean I'm not virtuous?
In short, Li Gang's ten proposals are either utopian and unrealistic, or ignorant of military affairs, or offending people, or retaliating, or disrupting the situation in the court. In short, there is no useful one, and if it is practiced, the negative effect will be too great.
Is this the Li Gang who was praised by the world in later generations?
Zhao Pu was very disappointed.
This famous minister is still like this, and many ministers are not as good as him, so it is very important to popularize military knowledge.
PS: If you look at Li Gang's "Ten Discussions" in history, you will find out what a political idiot Li Gang is. Li Gang is still like this, many people are not as good as him, and the road of pig's feet is still very long.
