Chapter 154: The beginning of the Jin Army's transformation from prosperity to decline
"Akuta is a smart man, and a smart man doesn't make raw food. Even if it is a song, it will be well prepared and deal with all kinds of troubles! ”
"It's like today's second goods, which destroyed the Liao State, only a few months, the war wounds in most parts of the Jin Kingdom have not been repaired, and small rebellions have occurred one after another, so they brazenly launched the War of the Song Dynasty! As a result, they occupied many areas of our dynasty and caused a lot of trouble, too impulsive, too lacking in foresight! ”
"The first time the Song Dynasty was attacked, the two armies went south, which looked violent, but the result was that there was no priority and no focus of attack. And in terms of cooperation, there is a lack of tacit understanding, you hit yours, I beat mine. Zong Han was even more selfish and stranded under the city of Taiyuan, affecting the overall layout, which was a strategic failure. Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Jin Army is strong enough, and the combat power of our army is particularly low, plus there is no famous general to command, the Jin Army was lucky to win! ”
"The second time I cut down the Song Dynasty, I kidnapped the two emperors of our dynasty, ransacked Bianliang, and took over the enmity of the heavens, between the Song and Jin, the hatred is like a surging sea, and it is difficult to resolve it anymore!"
Zhao Pu commented, his eyes full of disappointment. In the two wars of the Song Dynasty, the world saw that the Jin army won many battles and won victories again and again. Zhao Pu analyzed the fatal shortcomings of the Jin army behind the victories again and again.
"The Jin country is dominated by Jurchens, with few people, most of them are desolate areas, and only a few areas are more developed in agriculture. There are few people and few soldiers, and they have been following the strategy of elite soldiers, surrounded by Bianliang, and the total number of armies on the east and west roads is only 150,000. Because the poor economy can only support these armies. ”
"Once the number of troops is too large, the finances of the Jin State will be overwhelmed. And once the number of the Jin army expands too much, the combat effectiveness of the army will also be sharply reduced. Therefore, the advantage of the Jin army is the elite, and it always breaks the enemy to win, but the disadvantage is that the number is too small, and many times it is more to fight with less. ”
And because it was mainly cavalry, the Jin army presented a half-year offensive, began to attack in the autumn, and withdrew before the arrival of the following summer. That is to say, it will take half a year to make some gains, and once our army holds for half a year, the Jin army cannot afford to spend it, so it must retreat. ”
"The offensive time was only half a year, which was too short, so that the Jin army could not expand the results of the battle and repeatedly defeated our Korean army, but it was difficult to completely destroy the main force of our army. The Song army was defeated again and again, losing land and losing cities again and again, but it quickly reorganized the army to fight against the Jin army, so that the Jin army's plan for a quick battle was bankrupt, and it could only fall into the quagmire of war. ”
"Tactically, the Jin army has won; Strategically, however, the Jin army was defeated. ”
The more he analyzed Jin Guo and Jin Jun, the more regretful Zhao Pu was. Jin has few soldiers and weak national strength, so it is destined to be a quick victory. However, in the course of war, the principle of quick victory was violated again and again, and the result could only be military superiority again and again, which was not transformed into political superiority, and the national strength was lost in vain, and there was even a form of transformation into disadvantage.
"I admire Wanyan Aguda the most, because he is an excellent king, he always keeps calm, when he is weak, he is not confused by the appearance of weakness, and sees that the Jurchen is strong and reaches the future; When the Liao State was destroyed and its military strength reached its peak, he saw the internal shortcomings of the Jin State and did not easily start the war. ”
"He is a wise man, and he clearly sees the way of prosperity and decline, from the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to the Anshi Rebellion, only in one step. And from the peak of the Jin army to the decline, it was also in one step, from the moment when the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty, the contradictions within the Jin army began to break out, and the Jin army began to decline from strength! ”
Wang Wuyue listened, a little dumbfounded, this Emperor Majesty is too much!
Today's situation is that the Jin army is at its peak, the two emperors have been taken captive, Bianliang has been looted, Hedong, Hebei and other places have been lost, and many places will be lost in the future. Whether it is the anti-war faction or the peace faction, they are all panicked in their bones, but His Majesty the emperor is good, and he said that the Jin army began to decline from victory.
Zhao Pu also saw Wang Wuyue's disbelief, and said, "These are all well-founded!" ”
"Because of people, because of people, because of people! After Yan Agu was killed, his brother died, and Wu Qimai became the emperor. Brother dies brother, if the brother has no son, then there will be no problem, but Wanyan Aguda has a large group of sons, this is the way to get trouble. If Yan Agu beats several sons, they will all be waste, and there will be no trouble, but his sons are all very good, which is another way to take trouble; If he is excellent, there is nothing, as long as he is not in charge of the army, there will be no big chaos, but the problem is that his sons are in control of the army, and it is the way to cause trouble. The three ways to take trouble are superimposed, and it is strange that the Jin Army does not have a mess! ”
"Every time Yan Agu went on an expedition, Wu Maiqi was in charge of the rear and sat in charge of the military and political affairs of the officials in the rear; It's like Emperor Taizong of our dynasty. This experience has made this emperor of the Jin Kingdom good at power and balance, and with him alive, all kinds of contradictions in the Jin army will be suppressed, and there will be no general outbreak, so that the high-level of the Jin State has maintained relative stability, which is his biggest advantage! But it is also his biggest shortcoming, if he is born in the world, he is definitely a prosperous monarch, and he will open a hundred years of prosperity in the Jin Kingdom; It's a pity that he was born in troubled times, and he was at the juncture of attacking our dynasty, he is not a good king! ”
"The king of the world pays attention to humility and acceptance, coordinates the power of his courtiers, and achieves a balance between various factions, focusing on democracy; However, in troubled times, it is necessary to act arbitrarily, even at the expense of the interests of a part of the faction for the sake of the overall good. And Wu Qimai pays too much attention to balance, because balance has lost many fighters! With his existence, it is destined that we will not be able to use the most effective strategy to attack our DPRK, but can only adopt the strategy that most balances the forces of all factions to attack our DPRK! ”
"And Zong Han is a famous general of the Jin State, but unfortunately he doesn't understand politics. Military personnel are not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and doing so will inevitably harm others. But the military must understand politics, and only then will they not be dragged down militarily. It's a pity that he doesn't understand politics, but he likes to do politics, and he is very selfish, so he is destined to not end well! ”
Wanyan Zonghan, the famous general of the Jin Army, the marshal of the Western Route Army, Zhao Pu looked down on him, and his evaluation was: This thing is short-tempered, easy to get angry, lacks a global view, has courage and no strategy, and has more than enough success and failure.
During the first war against the Song Dynasty, for the sake of a small Taiyuan, they stayed for too much time, so that the Eastern Route Army became a lone army. If it is a rational general, he will go around the city, regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place, encircle the point to send reinforcements, and annihilate the living force of the Song army; Or go south to learn from Bianliang. But this is good, using Jurchen warriors to give up the advantage of field warfare, but to attack the city, and many Jin troops died in vain.
Later, for his own selfish interests, he disregarded the interests of the overall situation and refused to join Bianliang with Zongwang, resulting in the first siege of Bianliang and failure. If the Eastern Route Army also went south, captured Tongguan, cut off the rescue of the Western Army, and besieged Bianliang, it may be that Bianliang would break the city at the first time, and there would be a second attack on the Song Dynasty.
In the second capture of Bianliang, Zongwang did not want to destroy the Song Dynasty and change the dynasty, so he could leave the second Emperor Huiqin in Bianjing to continue to be the Song Emperor, but he had to be controlled by the Jin State, so that he could still get along with the Han people. Zong Han and Zong Pan must destroy the Song Dynasty and change the dynasty, take the second emperor of Huiqin to the north, "establish a different surname", and let Zhang Bangchang and Liu Yu, who are not surnamed Zhao, establish a pseudo-Chu and pseudo-Qi regime to control the Han people, "the country is easy to move", mess up the Han land a little, "Xu Tu mixes one", can fish in troubled waters, and is slowly annexed by the Jurchens.
In the end, when the stalemate was stalemate, he waited for his identity to move out, and finally overwhelmed Zong Wang, making him "angry" and "stupid". The second emperor of Huiqin was exiled to the north, and in 1127 it ended with the "Jingkang shame" of the Song Dynasty, and from then on the Jin and Song dynasties became a feud relationship, which was worse than the hostile relationship between the Liao and Song dynasties for the sixteen states of Yanyun.
History has also proved that this is the biggest strategic failure of the Golden State.
"Zong Wang understands politics, but it's a pity that smart people don't end well, and they often die young. Who believes that he died of heat stroke? It must have been a murder, a naked murder. Zong Wang is alive, blocking the interests of too many people and causing inconvenience to some people, if he doesn't die, some people will be uneasy! ”
Zong Wang was born as a general, and he has been strong since he was a child, but he is not a scholar who is powerless. His health is very good and very young, if there is no accident, it is normal for more than ten or twenty years to be on the goods. But just like this, he died of heat stroke, if there was no trace of cattiness, Zhao Pu didn't believe it at all.
According to the cruelty of the political struggle, the dark nature of the palace struggle, and the fact that he was the second prince and the marshal of the Eastern Route Army, it could be easily deduced that Zong Wang was killed.
Zhao Pu can believe that when Zong Wang beat him, he was indeed suffering from heat stroke. Heat stroke in summer is a very common thing, as long as you drink some ice water, or drink some medicinal soup that is on fire, you can easily heal. However, some people launched a conspiracy and added "condiments" to his medicinal soup.
As a result, the originally insignificant heat stroke became fatal, and the end of Yan Zongwang hung up!
