Chapter 1249 There are no generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there is no phase in the Southern Song Dynasty
The Tubo Dynasty was occupied by the Ashoka Dynasty dove, which Ouyang Shuo did not expect.
Songtsen Gampo rejected the Mongol Empire in the north and defended the Great Xia Dynasty in the west, but in the end, it was still difficult to escape the fate of being devoured by giant crocodiles, which is really embarrassing.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that a foreign force has intervened in the struggle for hegemony in China, which makes Ouyang Shuo very faceless.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo had to be careful. A few days ago, Li Jing had led the Flying Bear Army to withdraw to the border of Shu, and the first expedition of Great Xia to Tibet ended in failure.
Li Jing pleaded guilty and was suppressed by Ouyang Shuo.
With the treacherous waves of the Tubo battlefield, Li Jingneng led the Flying Bear Army to retreat, which was already a very remarkable achievement, how could Ouyang Shuo condemn this general.
Before settling the three kingdoms of Qin, Tang and Song, Ouyang Shuo was not ready to provoke the battle of Tubo.
As for the Ashoka Dynasty, the annexation of such a large territory as Tubo also requires a process of digestion and absorption, and Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as Ashoka is not crazy to the limit, he will not be able to look at Shu.
Putting aside Tubo for the time being, Ouyang Shuo focused on the three kingdoms of Qin, Tang and Song.
On July 3, as the limited date gradually approached, Ouyang Shuo was ready to take the banner of the Zhao clan of the Great Song Dynasty, but unexpectedly, the night before, a dramatic palace change broke out in the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Guangyi saved a large family.
It's just that the people of later generations will probably regard Zhao Guangyi as a chaotic minister and thief, and regard Zhao Kuangyin as a generation of saints.
Ouyang Shuo had no intention of exploring the trickiness in it, he only knew that with the success of Zhao Guangyi Palace, Jingchu Province had become the bag of Great Xia.
Great Xia is a big step forward from conquering the Three Kingdoms.
…………
On July 5, Jiang Shang, the first assistant of the Great Xia cabinet, as His Majesty's special envoy, led a team to Xiangyang City to accept Zhao Guangyi's surrender. Prior to this, the armies of both sides had ceased fighting.
The Great Song Forbidden Army on the front line surrendered on the spot, waiting for the reorganization of the Privy Council, and rough statistics show that after the various departments of the Great Xia Army replenished the battle losses, there were still 380,000 Great Song Forbidden Army waiting for reorganization.
Jiang Shang went here, and also brought the grace and edict of the imperial court.
The edict enshrined Zhao Guangyi as the king of Song and Zhao Kuangyin as the marquis of Song. Such grace is already considered to be the emperor's grace, and Zhao Kuangyin, who is under house arrest, is no longer satisfied, but he is too uninteresting.
In addition to the Zhao royal family, a group of former ministers of the Great Song Dynasty also had their own appointments.
Zhao Pu was appointed as the governor of southern Sichuan, and Fan Zhongyan, the former governor of southern Sichuan, was transferred to the governor of Jingchu.
Zhao Pu was engaged in Liu Cibi in his early years, and later served as Zhao Kuangyin's secretary. In the seventh year of Xiande, he and Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, overthrew the Later Zhou, and established the Song Dynasty.
In the second year of Qiande, he visited the prime minister and assisted Zhao Kuangyin in seizing feudal towns, abolishing the military power of military generals, implementing many major measures such as changing the military law, reforming the official system, and formulating many major measures to guard the border and defend Liao.
Chunhua three years, three times to worship the prime minister Zhao Pu died of illness, seventy-one years old, tired of the king of Han, given "loyalty", and with the Taizu temple court, one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion.
Although Zhao Pu did not read much, he liked to view the "Analects", and his "half of the Analects ruled the world" had a great influence on later generations, and became a famous saying for governing the country with Confucianism.
With Zhao Pu's talent, it is naturally no problem to serve as the governor of the province, but it is still a surprise for some people to be appointed as the governor of southern Sichuan as soon as he comes up. Although the rumors that the government and the opposition had earlier turned the southern Sichuan Province into a Zhili province were suppressed by Ouyang Shuo, there is no doubt about the high status of the southern Sichuan province.
Ouyang Shuo's real purpose was to transfer Fan Zhongyan out of southern Sichuan.
Jingchu Province has the royal city of Xiangyang and is a large province in central China, but it is not wronged by Fan Zhongyan. Ouyang Shuo hoped that through this adjustment, Fan Zhongyan could understand the meaning of his secret warning.
In addition to Zhao Pu, Murong Yanzhao, Gao Huaide, Wang Xianqi, Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Zhang Lingduo, Zhang Guanghan and Zhao Yanwei and other former ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were also resettled one by one.
There were no generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were no generals in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Among the old ministers, the only one who is really good at Wen Taowu is Zhao Pu.
…………
With the surrender of the Great Song Dynasty, the situation in Huaxia has become clear, and now it depends on what the attitude of the Qin and Tang Dynasties is. Whether it is Qin Shi Huang or Tang Taizong, they are not the masters who admit defeat easily.
It was harder to get these two to surrender than to kill them.
Kyoshi, Imperial Palace.
Zhang Liang, a scholar of the Imperial Cabinet, was invited to the Imperial Study to discuss matters.
"Aiqing thinks, how to deal with the Qin and Tang countries?" If possible, Ouyang Shuo did not want to subdue the two countries through war in the face of the aggressiveness of the Ashoka dynasty.
But without a fight, the two countries will not surrender.
This has simply become a dead knot, so Ouyang Shuo asked Zhang Liang to find a way.
Zhang Liang replied: "Qin Shi Huang and Tang Taizong are also a generation of heroes, and they must be able to see the situation clearly and know that the general trend is irreversible. All we need to do is give them a step down. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded, deeply convinced.
"Aiqing thinks, how to give this step? Do you want me to talk about it myself? ”
"No!" Zhang Liang shook his head directly, "Not to mention that Your Majesty is the honor of all vehicles, and you can't condescend to the noble." If this case is broken, it will inevitably lead to the arrogance of the Qin and Tang Dynasties, which will be very unfavorable to the future governance of Kansai Province. ”
Zhang Liang's concern is by no means alarmist.
The Qin and Tang dynasties both had a group of well-known civil and military ministers, and the two countries had been operating the Kansai Province for a long time, which was deeply rooted, and if Great Xia gave face to the two countries, it was easy to give the civil and military ministers of the two countries and the common people an illusion, thinking that they were attached to Great Xia, which was to give Great Xia face, and it would inevitably breed arrogance.
This is what Ouyang Shuo does not want to see.
Zhang Liang followed and said: "Weichen thinks that he can start from the Ashoka Dynasty. ”
"How?"
Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised, not knowing how the two could be connected.
"Whether it is Qin Shi Huang or Tang Taizong, they are both emperors through the ages, and they are orthodox in China. Now that foreign enemies are knocking on China, if the Qin and Tang dynasties are still immersed in internal fighting, wouldn't they live up to the name of China? Weichen suggested that a high-level envoy delegation be sent again to use this as a breakthrough to persuade the two emperors to retreat into the background. Zhang Liang said.
Ouyang Shuo frowned slightly, "This, can it work?" ”
"If Your Majesty does not give up, Weichen is willing to personally lead the team and send an envoy to one of them."
"It's good!"
Ouyang Shuo followed the advice and decided to let Zhang Liang give it a try first.
…………
On July 7, Zhang Liang, the second assistant of the Great Xia Cabinet and a scholar of the Senior Cabinet, led a team to the Tang Dynasty; At the same time, Zhang Yi, the secretary of Honglu Temple, personally led the team and sent an envoy to the Great Qin Dynasty.
Historically, Zhang Yi was once the prime minister in the Qin State, and this time he went to the Qin State to "return home". Ouyang Shuo hoped that Qin Shi Huang would take care of this trace of incense and agree to retire.
For the military generals of Wenchen, Ouyang Shuo can be reused, but the emperor is an absolute forbidden area, Ouyang Shuo is not willing to touch it, and he will never have the intention of taking them under his command.
Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was unwilling to live in the hearts of the people, let alone emperors like Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong.
If you really want to recruit these emperors, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.
Therefore, even if the Qin and Tang dynasties surrendered, Qin Shi Huang and Tang Taizong could only retire and be an idle king in this game world, no longer interfering with the government and politics, and they couldn't even touch it.
As for whether there is a chance to manifest these emperors on the Hope Planet in the future and expand the territory, that is another matter, after all, there are still too many variables in the matter of the Hope Planet, how can Ouyang Shuo know everything.
During the envoys of Zhang Liang and Zhang Yi, the Great Xia army did not move, waiting for the results of the negotiations between the two sides. If the two countries are still unwilling to surrender, in order to avoid being hindered by change, Ouyang Shuo can only solve it through war.
