Chapter 89: Wishful thinking
Chen Cheng was a workaholic in his previous life.
It's not that he wants to be a workaholic, it's that circumstances have forced him to be like this.
Many people say that the nightmare of the middle school reading exam is something they will never forget as an adult. Chen Cheng just smiled, it was because they hadn't gone to work yet. When they get to work, they know that work is much scarier than a nightmare. After all, the premise of a nightmare is that you can sleep.
So, this habit is trained as a reflex. As soon as Chen Cheng did things seriously, he became a domesticated workaholic. I don't have time to think about Ma Chunhua's weirdness. Especially after getting up today, Ma Chunhua seems to have forgotten all about yesterday's emotions.
Back to the current problem of the Song Kingdom.
In Chen Cheng's view, Song Guo's problem is very simple. The situation of the Song State was better than that of all dynasties when the country fell, that is, it simply could not defeat the enemy, and after resisting several blows, it was pushed away by a wave.
Sounds incompetent, but it's not much of a problem. Purely military issues.
The per capita GDP of the Southern Song Dynasty accounted for 60% of the world's total. Although the inherent drawbacks of feudal dynasties such as various corruptions and land annexations are also obvious. But judging by the number and scale of peasant uprisings, the standard of living of the people is okay.
People can't have enough to eat, but they will really rebel.
This addresses two of the most important prerequisites for changing the country's fortunes, vigorously developing the economy and reshaping the legal framework.
These two points will be put to use, and after defeating the Tartars, it's not too late to clean up slowly. Chen Cheng didn't sit in that position, and there was no need to worry about that. All he has to do is train a strong army and defeat the Tartars.
There are not too many places where he can cut in, even Jia Yidao himself can't set off a nationwide large-scale military training.
Chen Cheng's idea was to set up a military academy to train a group of middle- and low-level officers who were loyal, patriotic, and good at fighting, and then send them to the major fronts to train grassroots non-commissioned officers.
The advantage of this is that it is easy to get things done. He just needs to sit in Lin'an and teach. It will not affect the fundamental interests of upper-level officers and wealthy families. With Jia Yidao personally promoting, the resistance will not be too great.
As for bullshit things like fighting for power, he doesn't have to worry about it. For the current Song Kingdom, as long as the enemy in the north can be defeated, it is estimated that it will be another hundred years of national fortune. Those people fight to the death and have nothing to do with him.
Of course, there is an important part to this plan. That is, middle and low-level officers from military schools cannot be completely suppressed by the supreme commander. Therefore, Chen Cheng still had to think of a plan to envelop the high-level officers, so that at least they would not become pure constraints.
It doesn't sound very good. In other words, Chen Cheng is ready to unite all domestic forces and unite with the outside world. This is also the reason why he is willing to do things for Jia Yidao.
The whole program is estimated to take four or five years. However, it is not a big problem for the current Song Kingdom. It will be several years before the Yuan army completes the northern border and goes south.
After being defeated by Guo Jing under the city of Xiangyang, the high-level of the Yuan State was very divided, and most of the powerful figures tended to expand westward, all the way to Europa.
Only the current Great Khan Möngke and his mother's brother Kublai Khan wanted to go south. However, the composition of power in Mongolia was different, and the Great Khan did not have the power to say anything.
By the time everyone finished arguing and the people of the Western Expedition were separated, it was already a few years later. At this time, Chen Cheng had already trained the Song State into a strong army.
Even if Chen Cheng is incompetent, Song Jun is not so capable of fighting, so it doesn't matter. This battle was the first battle of Xiangyang of the Condor. Guo Jing will defeat Kublai Khan. Then there were another sixteen years of development.
Therefore, there is plenty of time, and Chen Cheng is not in a hurry at all.
said that he was not in a hurry, but he spent several days without sleep and food, and wrote a plan of tens of thousands of words. Then he found an opportunity and handed it to Jia Yidao's house.
When Chen Cheng came, he met Jia Yidao receiving an official.
When Jia Rudao saw Chen Cheng, he was quite cordial: "Wan Li, you are here." ”
Wanli is the word given to Chen Cheng by Jia Rudao as a teacher. As soon as he heard that this was given by Jia Rudao, Chen Cheng felt that he had not heard of it. Fortunately, only Jia Rudao called him that.
Jia Rudao said to the official: "Dachang, this is what I told you, my new disciple, Chen Cheng. This is truly a blessed general. "Listening to the tone, this person should be Jia Yidao's confidant.
"Dachang" looked at Chen Cheng and said, "I am Hu Dachang to be controlled by Baozhang Pavilion." Jia Gong, this disciple of yours was born with Longzhang Fengyi, and he is really extraordinary. The latter sentence was said to Jia Yidao.
Chen Cheng and Hu Dachang met the ceremony, but they felt funny in their hearts. Don't say anything else when you meet this meeting, praise people for being handsome. In fact, in this day and age, it is a serious thing.
Looking through the ancient history books, most people have physiognomy descriptions. Why? Because in ancient times, it was an era of looking at faces, and if you didn't look good, you generally couldn't be a big official. Speaking of which, Hu Dachang himself is also a person with a fair face and an extraordinary appearance.
Jia Rudao bowed: "Now I have Dachang in literature and thousands of miles in Wu, both of them are my right-hand men, and the two of you must cooperate sincerely." ”
Chen Cheng and Hu Dachang hurriedly said yes.
Jia Rudao said again: "That's right, Wanli." You came just in time, Dachang and I were preparing to fight crickets. Originally, I was going to bring a team of personal soldiers to escort me. But since you're here, it's enough for you to be alone. Dachang, there is a chance for you to open your eyes, Wanli is the kind of master that the poem says, 'a sword once served as a million masters'. ”
Chen Cheng's face turned strange. He was busy for several days for the safety of hundreds of millions of people in the Song Kingdom, but the people in power pulled him to fight crickets. Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods.
Chen Cheng, an otaku, although he has a lot of experience in office struggles, the city government is naturally too far behind these officialdoms. Although the speechless look on his face was only a flash, Hu Dachang had already seen it in his eyes.
Hu Dachang said: "Jia Gong invited, fortunately. I see that Mr. Chen has come to the dust, I don't know what is the matter? ”
Chen Cheng glanced at Hu Dachang gratefully, and immediately presented the plan in his hand: "Teacher, the disciple has dealt with the masters of the Northland. Knowing that this tartar and lackey will not die in my heart, my generation should be self-reliant. In order to cope with his iron hooves going south, the disciple wrote a plan to strengthen the army and handed it to the teacher for his review. The disciple knows that the teacher will eventually dominate the world, and he will be a famous figure in history. ”
The words are not thorough, and the point is there. It means that with this plan, Jia Yidao can make a name for himself behind him.
The so-called king's affairs in the world won the name before and after his death. This is the supreme ideal of the literati. No matter how greedy Jia Yidao is, he is also a literati. is like another traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui, he still whitewashed everywhere, wanting to portray himself as a good person.
Sure enough, Jia Rudao was overjoyed when he heard this, took the plan, turned two pages, and nodded: "Wanli has a heart." He is worthy of being a disciple of a teacher. This plan is placed here, so that the teacher can take a good look. Today, let's go fight crickets first. ”
Chen Cheng always didn't want to urge Jia Yidao to read the reply immediately, so he had to be a bodyguard.
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and there has been no news from Jiafu.
Chen Cheng was a little depressed, and felt inconvenient to come directly to inquire at this time. Finally, I couldn't sit still, and came to the door of Jiafu, wanting to go in, but I didn't know how to open my mouth after entering.
At this time, I saw Hu Dachang say goodbye.
Chen Cheng saluted Hu Dachang and said, "Hello Lord Hu. ”
Hu Dachang returned the salute: "Hello Mr. Chen." ”
After that, Hu Dachang looked at Chen Cheng's expression and said, "Mr. Chen cares about his plan. ”
Chen Cheng's heart moved: "Exactly, I didn't wait for a response at the next moment, after all, this is the first time I want to do something for the teacher in the next time, and I have no experience." Please also ask Lord Hu for advice. ”
Hu Dachang pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, your lord is a civil official. Civil officials, pay attention to the security of the country and the people. And adults are gentle people, and what they like most is to be quiet and inactive, in order not to disturb the people. ”
Translate this to mean that Jia Rudao has no intention of doing serious things, as long as he doesn't make trouble for him, so that he can enjoy peace of mind, rest and make a fortune.
In fact, if you change someone, Hu Dachang is not interested in teaching this sentence.
However, he saw that Chen Cheng was indeed stunned by officialdom, and he had no foundation, and he was very much liked and trusted, and there was no conflict with his civil and military affairs. Only then did he say a few words, hoping to form a good fate. I just don't know if Chen Cheng can understand.
Of course Chen Cheng can understand. He's not really a simple-minded martial artist with well-developed limbs.
It's just that when I heard it, I didn't feel that this early spring was still cold, and I still saw the west wind.
