Chapter 131: Reality is Cruel
The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
It's been more than a year since I got into this world. From the beginning, he was the prince, as long as he didn't rebel, he could easily live to the end. It's just that the Jin army went south, and Jingkang's shame broke his dream. If you want to be a prince but can't get it, if you can't get it, you will be led to Beijing in the north like a pig and a dog.
In order not to be a pig and dog, he chose to resist, suggested to Song Huizong, stop the Tai students, and later sent an envoy to Jinying, just to get rid of fate and get rid of that tragic moment. In the end, he finally leveraged the gears of fate, he joined the army, joined the team of the seed division, and finally even had a team of his own, with a descendant army.
In the two encounters with the Jin army, he also had a slight upper hand.
Now, he has become an emperor and reigns over the world, no matter how bad the mess left by his father and elder brother, he has finally become the supreme leader in this land.
However, the situation is not optimistic, not to mention other aspects, that is, the top leadership of the imperial court, and the uncertain attitude of the war, which is extremely worrying. The peace faction, with a clear mind, saw the gap between Song and Jin, but the fear of gold was too great, and he was cowardly before fighting; The main battle faction, on the other hand, did not see the gap between Song and Jin, did not know themselves and did not know the other, and blindly sought war, whether there was a specific and operable anti-gold plan.
At this time, the upper and lower levels of the court are not unified, and there will inevitably be ideological confusion below, which will affect the overall combat effectiveness.
Zhao Pu was very disappointed in his heart, this is my courtier, the main peace faction is not good, the main battle faction is not good. Relying on the Lord and the faction is definitely the material for the destruction of the country, and relying on the Lord and the faction is definitely the material for the destruction of the country.
But the mood was just lost for a moment, Zhao Pu was uplifted, it was normal to not work, the monarch and the ministers should cultivate a sense of tacit understanding, he should grow up as a king, and these courtiers should also grow up, don't expect a child to grow up overnight, and don't expect a king to become a Ming monarch overnight, let alone expect all the ministers under him to be Guan Zhong and Le Yi.
What is Mingjun? Anyone who comes can use it, whether you are a loyal minister, a traitor, a villain, a gentleman, or a hypocrite, anyone can use it; No one is afraid of leaving, Zhang Liang is not afraid of leaving, Xiao He is not afraid of leaving, and Zhuge Liang is not afraid of leaving.
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to understand some of the details of these ministers, so as to use their talents. Now it seems that the most important thing is to unify thinking, strike at the blindness of the peace faction and the pessimism of the main battle faction, and make concerted efforts to unify the thinking of the dozen or so people present with one mind.
…………
Zhao Pu stood up, his face was cold, his eyes swept over the faces of the ministers, and he said, "I'm disappointed, I'm very disappointed!" ”
Two disappointed in a row, and suddenly the ministers present were confused, and they didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor was going to say. A trace of joy flashed in Li Gang's heart, it could be that His Majesty the Emperor was dissatisfied with these surrendering factions.
"Those who do not seek the overall situation cannot seek a domain, and those who do not seek the world cannot seek a time. All the princes are important members of the court, the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty, and their words and deeds represent the majesty of the court. You are not scholars, and you can't talk and talk at will. Because the orders of the court are issued from the hands of the princes, it may be a wrong order that will displace thousands of people, and a wrong military order may make tens of thousands of soldiers spill blood! ”
Zhao Pu's tone was quite heavy, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes.
At this time, he somewhat understood what it meant for a scholar to mislead the country. obviously didn't know how to fight, but he had to act as Han Xin, and as a result, he died countless times; Obviously, he doesn't know Jin Jun, and he doesn't know his own details, but he wants to talk about it and issue orders indiscriminately. It's going to kill people!
"Ladies and gentlemen, some lords and some lords, what's the use of making noise here? It is war, it is peace, not in us, but in the Jin army. Only those who can fight can make peace, but they cannot fight, and they want to make peace but it is impossible. The alliance of the Yuanyuan is because Song and Liao are evenly balanced, and no one can help the other; Song Xia negotiated peace because Song Xia was evenly matched, and if they continued to fight, it would be difficult for each other to bear it. Only with a strong military force can we have the right to speak at that time, and if we want to negotiate peace, we want to go on the Northern Expedition, and we are all in control. But now, 800,000 forbidden troops have been wiped out, and 300,000 Western troops have been wiped out. Jin Jun will definitely not agree! ”
"Don't think about sending a few letters, saying a few good words, Jin Jun will make peace, Jin Jun is not stupid, he will not make low-level mistakes; And don't think about sending some beautiful women, some gold and silver, you can, you can ask for peace, it's impossible. Want to negotiate peace with only one means? Speaking of this, Zhao Pu's tone was a little gloomy.
Li Gang couldn't help but shiver, while Zong Ze frowned, and the other ministers were also nervous.
"There is only one first paragraph, and that is correspondence Jingbian!" Zhao Pu said coldly, "Tie it up, give it to the Jin people as gifts, and want to come to the Jin Army meeting and peace!" ”
With these words, all the ministers present couldn't sit still, and fell to their knees one after another: "Please forgive your majesty!" "Especially those ministers who advocate peace, they are even more trembling, which is a resounding word. Confucianism pays attention to the fact that the monarch of heaven and earth is a teacher, and he kidnaps an emperor and gives it to the enemy, which is a crime that has been stinking for thousands of years!
No one dares to do this!
If that's the case, the world's doctors will be able to drown people.
Looking at the various ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhao Pu finally found a trace of superiority at this time, and did not get up to say that he was exempt, but continued: "Only those who can fight can make peace, and the princes are now thinking about war, peace, and there is no meaning,." A strong army is the guarantee, otherwise everything is in vain! ”
Hearing this, the ministers of the main war faction were happy in their hearts, while the peace faction was terrified.
"Li Youcheng, worthy of being a national scholar, actually put forward ten proposals, and now I will respond to them one by one!"
"When discussing state affairs, Li Youcheng said that in order to consider in the future, it is necessary to focus on defense, and it is indeed a certain country in the old city!"
"But it's not enough! At that time, the Khitan was strong, and Emperor Taizu Taizong was extremely jealous, and later the northern expedition to the Liao State was defeated. Later, the Liao State repeatedly violated the border, and our Song Dynasty had no choice but to pay reparations and sue for peace at the cost of humiliation. At that time, there was the wisdom of Taizu Taizong, and there was a strong army at home, so it could only be a draw with the Liao army. But now, the Jin State has destroyed the Liao State, and the strength is stronger than the Liao State, which is a long time; And I don't have the wisdom of Taizu Taizong, today's forbidden army and the Western army are not as strong as Taizu Taizong's time, and the princes do not have Taizu Taizong's ministers and ministers. This is the Song-Jin gap, this is the reality that we can't help but face! The huge gap in the military strength of the Song and Jin Dynasty was the reason for the repeated defeats of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Hearing this, Li Gang felt bitter in his heart and wanted to get up to refute it, but he still held back.
Li Youcheng advocated defense, established feudal towns in key places, set up marshal's mansions in the south of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and Huai River, repaired the city walls, reorganized the equipment, trained the naval army, and practiced chariots, so that the enemy would have no harvest of plundering and retreat from the danger 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. This kind of fortification everywhere, not to mention the huge loss of financial resources and the huge investment of troops, the most fundamental thing is that it cannot defend the Jin army at all, and the fortification everywhere will only be lost everywhere! ”
At this time, Zhao Pu asked people to get up, "Princes, please get up!" ”
The ministers stood up one after another.
Zhao Pu clapped his hands, and several eunuchs carried in a sand table from outside the door, which clearly marked the vast area north of the Yangtze River and south of Yanshan Mountain of the Great Wall.
"Look at the sand table!" Holding the benchmark, Zhao Pu began to popularize military knowledge.
Zhao Pu's military knowledge is half a bucket of water, and half a bucket of water is not enough for the ministers here. But these ministers, who don't have enough water for half a bucket, are talking about national affairs here, scolding Fang Xuan, talking about how to fight a war, and how to not know about autumn defense, which immediately makes people feel like they are talking on paper.
No, it's not even as good as talking on paper.
Zhao Kuo, at least from a military family, and his father is a famous general of Zhao State. Zhao Pu's own force value is not low, and he knows very much about things in the army, but he only encountered Bai Qi at the demon level, and finally lost. But even if he lost, he finally beat the Qin State to a great loss.
But the ministers here are simply military illiterate, do not understand military common sense, do not understand the needs of soldiers, do not know how to command operations, and are too lazy to study military affairs.
Now, he can only popularize military knowledge, and does not ask them to become famous generals, but only asks them to know some military common sense and not make some military mistakes with common sense.
