Chapter 45 The Central Plains Dynasty lost Yanshan, and the government and the opposition couldn't finish reading
Aunt Shen looked at the abandonment of illness and put away the little book, and said with feeling: "Since the Central Plains Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, the use of troops abroad is very different from before.
"Whether it is the sixteen states of Yanyun, the sixteen states of Youyun, or the sixteen states of Youji, they are all sixteen states centered on Youzhou and Yunzhou, and for a long time, they have been the barrier of my Central Plains.
"It's a pity that in the first year of Tianfu of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty (the envoy of the Eastern Jiedu of the Later Tang River), opposed the Tang Dynasty and asked the Khitan for help. The Khitan sent troops to support its establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Liao Taizong and Shi Jingjiao were about father and son (Liao Taizong was the father, and Shi Jingjiao was the son). In the third year of Tianfu, Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan according to the requirements of the Khitan, so that the territory of the Liao State expanded to the Great Wall, and several dynasties in the Central Plains were not able to completely recover it in the future. The strategic significance of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun made the Great Song regime in the Central Plains feel threatened for more than a hundred years. See the humble work "The Legend of Heroes in the North"
Now that Jin has occupied the north of the Qinling Mountains of the Huai River, the two sides have reached a peace treaty: Song is a vassal to Jin, and Jin is the Song Emperor; The boundaries are demarcated, with the middle stream of the Huai River in the east as the boundary, the Dasanguan in the west as the boundary, the Song in the south, and the Jin in the north; The Song Dynasty paid 250,000 taels of silver and silk to Jin Na every year, and since the twelfth year of Shaoxing, it was moved to Sizhou every spring to pay. The Shaoxing Peace Conference established the political inequality between the Song and Jin, and although it ended the state of war that lasted for more than ten years, it also formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.
"The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to bring back the bodies of his mother and Song Huizong, but he shouldn't have promised Jin Guo to kill Yue Fei. At the end of December, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui killed Yue Fei on 'trumped-up' charges, and his son Yue Yun and his subordinates beheaded Zhang Xian in the downtown area of Lin'an. The "Shaoxing Peace Conference" was immediately realized, and Jin sent Song Huizong's coffin, his biological mother Wei, back to the Southern Song Dynasty. It's embarrassing today.
"It has always been difficult to use soldiers, and it is even more difficult to raise soldiers. At that time, my brother-in-law Li Shunju and Li Xian's military talents had been greatly accomplished, and the prime minister Wang Qi, who only knew the three decrees of 'taking the holy decree', 'receiving the holy decree' and 'having obtained the holy decree', asked the emperor to let them go to the Western Xia and be responsible for the war in the area of Xihe Lanhui Road on the western front. I am ashamed to say that as soon as the incident came out, the second brother Li Xian was full of confidence, and I also felt happy, only the eldest brother Li Shunju insisted on resigning, and personally confessed to the prime minister Wang, "There are many things in the western suburbs, which is really a shame for the scholars." Now that the prime minister is in power, do you really think that it is very appropriate to entrust the border defense to two ministers? The duty of the ministers is to sweep the courtyard and wipe the windows, how can they lead the troops to fight? 'There are three of our righteous brothers and sisters, the second brother Li Xian has the highest military talent, and Lao Cheng is cautious, but he is far inferior to the eldest brother Li Shunju.
"The emperor knew that the two were talented, and really sent them out. After that, the two relied on their outstanding military talents to recover Hezhou, defeat the Tubo leader Blind Muzheng, and conquer Lanzhou, with outstanding achievements, especially the second brother Li Xian. As a result, the world felt more and more that eunuchs were more proficient in military affairs than courtiers, and that they had the courage to do things. However, the 'three redundancies' of redundant personnel, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses in the Great Song Dynasty have caused poverty and weakness to accumulate poverty and weakness for a long time. There are many soldiers in the army but not fine, the military orders are not smooth, and the chronic disease of poor communication between all walks of life appears from time to time, and the two righteous brothers will eventually have the defeat of Yongle City.
Later, Li Xian's apprentice Tong Guan martial arts, the military affairs were better than the blue, and he made more meritorious contributions, and he was even an official to the privy envoy, and he was crowned king because he recovered the land of Yanyun for a while. However, Tong Guan misjudged the situation, and Lianjin destroyed Liao and caused difficulties in Jingkang. When he was a little eunuch in the palace, he could still be honest and stable, and once he was disappointed again, he began to take credit and deceive his superiors and subordinates. Once the fault was exposed, he became even more angry and corrupted, and his behavior was abnormal, so that he committed great treachery and evil, and the people of the time blamed the eunuchs for taking power and harming the country. ”
Zhang Xiao sighed and said: "My son Liu Zhengyan holds a grudge precisely because Tong Guan blamed his dead father Liu Fa for the defeat on the battlefield for no reason. Because of the eunuch Kang Xu's pampering and pampering, the child ignored the generals, just like another living Tong Guan, so he insisted on killing him. He was so impulsive and impulsive that he became involved in the devil's way, and many incidents occurred, and finally his sins were unforgivable, and his reputation was shattered. His father also followed the black cauldron, and his life's work was erased by the imperial court. As he spoke, tears welled up and his eyes were almost wet.
Aunt Shen turned around and grabbed Zhang Xiao's hand and patted it gently to show comfort, "Handing over the country's military and political affairs to a few ministers has indeed caused a big mess, the government and the opposition have declined, the whole country has suffered, and Sister Zhang's family has suffered greatly."
"What is the root cause of Tong Guanliang Shicheng's encroachment on the ministers? I don't think it's entirely from the ministers, but the incompetence of the courtiers and literati is the main reason. This statement is not close to Li Shunju, Li Xian, Tong Guan, etc., but a fair statement. Li Shunju is calm and old, and he thought it was impossible at the beginning. Li Xian has taken credit and has been criticized a lot, but he can fight habitually, accumulate officials to Xuanqing envoy with merit, and once take charge of finances, saving six-tenths of redundant expenses, and few people can do better than him in his tenure. Although Tong Guan later caused chaos in the dynasty and was not guilty, he also strongly advocated the removal of Huashigang, who caused the people to live in poverty and complained. They were appointed as officials, all of them were recommended by courtiers and literati, and approved by imperial edicts. King Yun, do you say yes or no? ”
King Yun's father, eldest brother, and ninth brother are all emperors, but his own emperor has done a lot of twists and turns, and it is very difficult for him to do it, and he is obviously embarrassed in the eyes of the world, and he is also disgraced. During the reign of his father, Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji, there were many times when there were many times of disagreement and public opinion. Since Aunt Shen asked such a question today, it was something he couldn't decide, and when he heard it, he felt a big headache, and lowered his head and had nothing to say.
Seeing that King Yun was silent, Aunt Shen took a long breath and said: "Tong Guan is a man of steel and iron bones, martial arts, and heavy soldiers, but fortunately, he is still dead set on the court, and he did not rebel when the country was in danger. In addition to regretting it, I was finally relieved, and all my complaints about this child faded.
"Li Xian and Tong Guan are like two wild horses that have been improperly controlled, abnormal and unruly. It is like two chess pieces, which can not only charge into battle, but also from time to time make their own horse legs and make the opponent's gun mount. The fault lies not only with them, but also with the rider or chess player. The encounter between the two is embarrassing.
King Yun had nothing to say just now, and when he heard Aunt Shen talk about chess pieces, he saw that Zhang Xiao was sad, so he quickly changed the topic: "Aunt is not a loser, she is a big Song chess recruiter, and she will not leave the general step by step." ”
Aunt Shen turned to Zhang Xiao and said apologetically: "Sister Zhang, I am not deliberately excusing Li Xian and Tong Guan today, but to remind the younger son that the decisive battle on the battlefield is not all about the battle formation, but more about raising soldiers." It is necessary not only to raise like a dragon and a tiger, but also to command as one, and always have the heart to gallop on the field. 'Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while', this raising soldiers for a thousand days will take a long time. It is necessary not only to cultivate the body, but also to cultivate the bravery, especially to enjoy the peace for a long time, it is easy to forget the war, do not know the war and are cowardly, and cannot fight.
"Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been surrounded by strong enemies, although there are many benevolent governments, rich people and rich people, rich countries and strong soldiers, but they can't solve the urgent needs of the border passes, because the difficulty of raising troops and using soldiers can not be solved.
"From the Qingli New Deal to the Xining New Deal, it has been difficult to change the law of the ancestors. Fan Zhongyan was okay, but when it came to Wang Anshi and Zhang Dun, the two prime ministers, they were even more slanderous. Now in this eventful autumn, we should know the difficulties of state affairs, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. No matter how difficult the future is, the future boy must grasp the benefits of the country and the people at the critical moment, take the common people as his thoughts, and make peace in the world. Abandon the disease, are you afraid of difficulties? Later, he turned to abandonment.
Qi Ji was listening carefully, and suddenly listened to Aunt Shen's question, he didn't dare to answer rashly, pondered a little, and said: "When the old handsome Zong Ze was the head of the Hebei Volunteer Army, he collected the righteous army, and the thieves could be used as soldiers, and his prestige was great, which made the criminal Jin soldiers frightened. Now Grandpa Li Bao and Uncle Zhang Rong have been contacting the rebels in the north, and the anti-gold activities are continuous, which is quite popular. The predecessors have already walked out of the way, and in the future, they will abandon their illness to join the rebel army, and the muddy potholes on the bumpy road will only be more difficult and tiring, and the sudden trap should be more attention. After abandoning the disease, when a major event is approached, it will tremble, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice, but there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
King Yun is an all-round scholar and martial artist, with a wide range of knowledge, and he is often taught by him when he abandons his illness. And grandpa Xin Zan has been cultivating him with all his strength since he was a child. Zong Ze, Li Bao, Zhang Rong and other heroic feats have heard a lot, and they have long been yearning for it, and at this time, the answer is like a stream, as if they are ready. The memory of abandonment is amazing, and the allusions and anecdotes are not forgotten, at this time his heart is not in the article, and he will write poems and lyrics at his fingertips in the future, all of which are inappropriate and appropriate, and he is very skilled.
Everyone saw that they had abandoned their illnesses and become young and old, and they were all praised by their grandfather, Master Xinzan, except for their grandfather Xin Zan's master Yantang.
Aunt Shen picked up "Gun and Stick Technique" again and said to Jiu'er: "In the future, follow Grandpa Li Bao's experience, and this book will be kept by you." He turned his head and said to King Yun: "There are many people who practice guns and sticks, especially in the Great Song Army. But because it is a secret in the army, there are very few people who see the whole picture, and practicing according to the book is different after all. This book is about the success or failure of the military in the army, and Huaiying and abandoning illness should be as good as practicing according to the book, and it will fall on you. ”
King Yun responded: "This is natural. I also taught some a few days ago, and they will definitely have a full set of exercises in the future, so they will teach them myself. ”
Aunt Shen opened the book and said in a loud voice: "Although this book is said to be a gun and stick technique, it is similar to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", which involves dozens of long and short weapons, but unlike its heavy preparation, this book focuses on practice. At that time, Han Qi refined his gun and club, and collectively learned from the famous equipment experts in the army, and simplified all kinds of moves, removed the chaff, and integrated them. This book pays attention to fast, accurate, and ruthless, and it is very practical to defeat the enemy with one move, which is very practical in the formation of 10,000 horses. The reason why it was not printed in large quantities was because it was the treasure of the Great Song Army, and the Northwest Army was very powerful in that year, and it was all benefited by this book. Jiu'er is still a child, and Li Bao must take care of him with his heart to save his life, and there is no room for mistakes. ”
When Li Bao saw Jiu'er get this book, he was very happy and agreed repeatedly.
Xin Zan looked at it and couldn't help but sigh: "The two old people want these children to become useful people for the country in the future, not only to teach them skills, but also to provide them with rare treasures. ”
Aunt Shen continued: "Abandoning the disease likes to write military books and battle strategies, so in the future, I will be mainly responsible for scheduling, Jiu'er likes to dance with guns and sticks, and will be the head of martial arts in the future. The Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom have always had the saying that 'the Jurchens are not more than 10,000, and they cannot fight if they are more than 10,000 people', and we can make sure that the soldiers are strong, and they dare to behave abnormally in the future. When the time comes, we will attack him from the north to the south, and with the cooperation of the inside and the outside, we will not only be able to recover the lost land that Jingkang is hard to come by, but also permanently ensure the homeland security of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Everyone looked at Aunt Shen's orange peel and silver hair, looking unusually old, and coughing from time to time, and even more sickly, but when she spoke, she looked very heroic and heroic, which made people sound like they couldn't help but be enthusiastic, their hearts were surging, and they all thought in their hearts: "She can be old and strong, and she has placed great hopes on us, and our younger generation can't live up to her old man." ”
Aunt Shen had already picked up the long ancient sword again at this time, and said to Huaiying warmly: "Among your three children, although Huaiying is the oldest, you have the latest time to learn martial arts, and your martial arts achievements in the future are inevitably very limited, and I have no other help for you, so I will give you this Qin sword now, although this sword is not very famous, but its sword body is very long and very sharp." If you have your mother's orders on you, then you will stay in the court of the Kingdom of Jin in the future. You have grown up at this time, and now you can wear this long sword to show your graceful demeanor, and it looks very good. See the clumsy work "The Legend of Xin Qiji"
