Chapter Seven: The Upper Dynasty (Part II)

"Jiguo Gong, you can speak out."

Unconsciously, Zhao Kuo's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Hong shook his spirit and began to show off.

At this time, if you can drink a glass of red wine or eat half a watermelon, the state and atmosphere are very good.

"Your Majesty, everything that is gained at the peace table is derived from victory or defeat on the battlefield. Without strength, all peace contracts are a piece of waste paper. The Tatar national policy is based on aggression and expansion. My Great Song Dynasty is prosperous and rich, and the Tatars will destroy the Jin and the Xia, and they will definitely invade the Song Dynasty in the south. Is it anxious to avenge the world for a while, or is it an important ...... of the Great Song Dynasty's national fortunes?"

Zhao Hong talked eloquently, but was interrupted by Shi Miyuan on the side, followed by him with a sneer, and said.

"Your Highness, what you say is all rhetoric. What the heir of King Yi said is right, the Jin people are my feud, not even to mention the destruction of Jin and the restoration of the old, you can also snatch some places as a buffer, and let the Tatars see, I can't be insulted by the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After Shi Miyuan finished speaking, he was serious again, and his face was unwavering.

The ministers below looked at each other in amazement. Shi Miyuan has always insisted on Lianjin anti-Mongolia, why did he change his tone today?

It seems that Shi Xiang is just supporting the young heir of King Yi.

Anyway, it's all just empty talk.

All hat and no cattle?

Zhao Hong was stunned, his heart was on fire, and he smiled coldly.

"Shi Xiang, when others are talking, please don't interrupt rashly. This is very unruly and uneducated. ”

Blatantly interrupting the conversation of others and openly denying one's own arguments is simply a blatant slap in the face and a provocation.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

Zhao Hong replied openly, the hall was silent, Shi Miyuan's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Zhao Hong.

"Jiguo Gong, above the court, you can't believe it. You play the piano and compose, you don't know anything about Tatar, don't laugh and be generous here! ”

Shi Miyuan was full of anger and directly reprimanded Zhao Hong's shallowness.

Honest, windy, smiling and generous?

The anger in Zhao Hong's heart was suddenly stimulated.

In later generations, he was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of life, high eyebrows and low eyes, but the other party's little trick of confusing the public was too low-level, but he couldn't bear it.

Does he really think that he is the 20-year-old stunned young man?

Zhao Kuo on the throne, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he still didn't speak.

He wants to see how this prince, who has been criticized by outsiders as useless, will react?

The ministers in the main hall looked at Zhao Hong and Shi Miyuan, and their eyes widened.

The Duke of Jiguo is really the Duke of Jiguo, Geng Jie is lonely and brave, and the palace dares to be the prime minister Shi Miyuan in front of him, and he can only be him.

"Talking? Romantic? Laughing and generous? ”

Zhao Hong secretly glanced at Zhao Kuo on the throne, and saw that his face was calm, silent, and much bolder.

"Shi Xiang, if you are allowed to manipulate the Taiwan admonitions, control the way of speech, speak about the officials, and reverse black and white, you are not allowed to believe in your country? You are allowed to hold the power of official appointment alone, and you never take the decree, and you are not allowed to play a few songs, and you are not allowed to play a few songs. Decide in the room, exercise power in the bed, I smile and be generous, it's better than the brilliance of your power. ”

Zhao Hong's violent temper came up, and in front of the Manchu officials, he pointed directly at Shi Miyuan's dictatorship.

These words are still what he just got from talking with Li Tang Zhendexiu and his innate historical knowledge, plug and play.

The hall was silent, and the ministers were speechless for a while. Everyone looked at Zhao Hong with different thoughts.

This Jiguo Gong, is this going to turn his face with the prime minister?

Jin Deok-so was dumbfounded. Zhao Hong's move was to openly break with Shi Miyuan.

Wei Liaoweng secretly called cool. Such words came out of Zhao Hong's mouth, but he slapped his face in court, so that Shi Miyuan couldn't get off the stage.

"Jiguo Gong, you are confusing the public again. Now we are talking about Tatars, not rumors. ”

Shi Miyuan remained silent, breaking the silence in the main hall.

Paint a false picture.

Zhao Hong sneered and continued to speak, saliva flying.

Some things come to an end. Just leave an impression on the emperor and his courtiers.

"Shi Xiang, since you are the prime minister of the dynasty, then the prince of the country asks you, Genghis Khan, the great Khan of Tatar, how many soldiers and horses does he have? What was the main weapon of the Tatar army? How are their tactics? How big is the territory occupied by the Tatars? And the destruction of the country? ”

Zhao Hong looked at Shi Miyuan with burning eyes.

This old guy said in the palace that he was discouraged by his plaything, and said that he didn't understand bullshit, and his intentions were sinister, and his heart could be punished.

However, from Shi Miyuan's slightly trembling body, it could be felt that he seemed to have hit a certain key point of Shi Miyuan.

"Your Highness, it seems that there is no need for the old minister to answer you."

Shi Miyuan said coldly, and the cold glint in his eyes was even stronger.

"Shi Xiang, it's not that there is no need to answer, but I don't know!"

Zhao Hong snorted coldly, saluted Zhao Kuo on the throne, and continued to speak under the shocked gaze of all the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, Ministers, the Tatars have about 120 thousand horses and horses, and about 120,000 Tatar cavalry. After the Tatars occupied the Central Plains, there were more than 50,000 infantry, mostly Han troops. Tatars are mainly mounted archery, highly mobile, and what they are best at is to strike at the east and west, fast and flexible. The four cavalry in the army became heavy cavalry, charging into battle, like the iron floating slaughter of the golden man. Six became light cavalry, each with two or three horned bows, and at least three or four war horses. Chevalier's bow and knife are indispensable, and one of them is a strong bow, which can shoot about 200 paces for archers. Its siege weapon is called "return cannon", the range can reach more than 300 steps, and the boulder shot can reach 100 catties, which is enough to destroy the city wall. ”

Zhao Hong combined the knowledge and memory of later generations and continued to speak.

"Genghis Khan is like a god with soldiers, and the Tatar army loves to slaughter cities, and he has destroyed more than 40 countries in the Western Regions, and has been ruined and killed. The tactics of the Tatar army are called "evil shooting", frontal heavy cavalry charge, two wings of light cavalry in turn to ride and harass, often with less to win more. Of course, tactics are ever-changing, depending on the situation on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Hong looked at the ministers who were listening with their ears pricked up in the hall, word by word, word by word.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, in the opinion of the ministers, the heart of the Tatar tiger and wolf, fearing power and not virtue, soldiers in the world, destroying summer and gold, will not take more than seven or eight years. Where to go from here, Your Majesty will consider it. ”

After saying so much, Shi Miyuan didn't interrupt him again, which was beyond his expectations.

After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he was careless and bowed to Shi Miyuan.

"Shi Xiang, my country's duke is reckless and offended!"

Genghis Khan destroyed the Western Xia in 1227 A.D., died of illness in the same year, and his son Wokotai destroyed the Jin Dynasty, but in six or seven years, he did not exaggerate.

Shi Miyuan's face turned gloomy, snorted coldly, and then closed his eyes again.

This bastard thing, how does he know so much about militaristic affairs? Could it be that Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng were taught by the two old stubborn private teachers?

Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, I'm afraid the two of them don't have such profound military attainments.

On the top of the main hall, Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, including many Qingliu ministers, all looked at Zhao Hong in surprise, with different thoughts.

The hall is tough and stiff, and he offended the most powerful minister of the dynasty, isn't this a play for his life?

The hall was silent, and even the officials of the Imperial History Observatory forgot to make trouble for a while.

The crisis of the last days, but in seven or eight years, the Tatars and the Great Song Dynasty will fight each other, and everyone is terrified.

"Your Highness, is this your hearsay, or is it true?"

In the middle of the incident, Wang Yan's face turned pale, breaking the silence.

He is a provincial counselor, and he will make progress in the daily record and correct his violations, and of course Zhao Hong's words must be verified for their authenticity.

"Wang Yushi, the prince of the country has been in the folk neighborhood for more than two years, and has been in contact with the merchants of the Northland, and most of the things in the Tatar army come from their mouths, and there is the truth and the painstaking teaching, so there will be no deviation in thinking. The Tatars could make the Western Xia almost lose the country, and the Jin people who could force the capital to move to the south of the Yellow River to avoid their front, their combat power can be imagined. ”

Zhao Hong's words made many ministers in the palace nod. Especially Zhen Dexiu, proudly picked up three strands of clear beard.

This disciple is not useless.

However, he only remembered that he taught Zhao Hong's moral articles, and did he say so much in the military? Why do many of Zhao Hong's elaborations feel fresh by myself?

"Zhao Gong and Gou Mengyu, you two once sent an envoy to Tatar and met Genghis Khan and Mu Huali. Tell me, what is the strength of the Tatars, is it as Je Guogong said? ”

Zhao Kuo, who was on the throne, looked at Zhao Gong and Gou Mengyu.

Although there are only a few words, compared to the past when the court turned a deaf ear and pretended to be deaf and dumb, Zhao Kuo has asked enough questions today.

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Jeguo Gong said is very true! The Tatars are like the Jurchens when they declared peace, they are strong and unstoppable, and they are indeed our great enemies! ”

Yushi Zhao Gong stood up first and bowed down.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Jiading, Jia She, the envoy of Huaidong, sent Zhao Gong to Hebei to visit Mu Huali, the commander of the Mongolian garrison in Han, at the behest of the imperial court. And Zhao Gong was also warmly welcomed by Mu Huali. Mu Huali then sent Su Buhan and others to accompany the Song envoy on a return visit.

In April of the 14th year of Jiading, Gou Mengyu, an envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, arrived at the Tiemen Pass in the Western Regions after a long journey, where he met Genghis Khan.

In the sixteenth year of Jiading, Gou Mengyu sent an envoy to Tatar again and was favored by Genghis Khan.

It can be said that these two people have a much deeper understanding of Mongolia than anyone else in the DPRK and China.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar cavalry is dominating the world, and the front is in full swing, and even the Jin people have moved their capital south to avoid their edge. It is not surprising that the Tatars took killing and plundering as a matter of course, and one day they invaded the Song Dynasty in the south. ”

Another imperial historian, Gou Mengyu, came out next, and Zhao Gong's meaning coincided.

The hall was again full of conversations.

The Tatars are powerful, but I am afraid that they will have to deal with it carefully.

"Your Highness, as you said, the Tatars are powerful, how should the court deal with it? I'm afraid Your Highness already knows this, right? ”

The tall and thin Superintendent Yu Shi Moser stood up, and there was something in his words.

"Your Highness is eloquent and eloquent, and has said so much, presumably how to deal with the future is already confident?"

Li Zhixiao, the superintendent of the imperial history, also walked out, hiding needles in the cotton.

Zhao Hong, this guy, a waste snack, say a little more, the horse's feet will definitely be exposed.

"Jiguo Gong, your mouth is like a river, and the flowers are splendid, even if you are talking about the Tao, what good is it for national affairs? Can your rhetoric be able to stand up to the Tatar Iron Horseman? ”

Liang Chengda, the black fat man who supervised the imperial history, spoke sharply and directly reduced Zhao Hong to nothing.

can speak well, flashy, and a few officials have a strange yin and yang atmosphere, which makes Zhao Hong's face red, and the arrogance in his heart is all stimulated.

This black fat man, if he had been teaching in the northwest, would have been beaten by the fire, and he would have been beaten like a pig's head.

Wei Liaoweng's face was pale, and he wanted to go out of class to denounce the imperial history, but Zhen Dexiu pulled his sleeve and shook his head to stop it.

Looking at Zhao Hong's appearance, it seems that he came prepared.

"Liang Yushi, there are a few others, you are in this hall, can you put forward a useful advice for the imperial court? Have you ever played the people who froze to death on the streets of Lin'an? Do you stand here and think you are useful? ”

At this time, he really wanted to say: everyone here is rubbish. However, this blow is too wide, and it will not help, so I can only give up.

has been giving various classes to children all year round, and Zhao Hong's eloquence can be regarded as practiced.

The emperor was present, and the imperial historians had to pay attention to their words, but Zhao Hong didn't care, and every sentence pierced his heart.

After all, the officials are civil officials, high-level intellectuals, and some things cannot be said. He is different, he has no taboos, no matter how ugly it sounds, how to come, disgusting will also disgust these-stirring sticks to death.
