Chapter 103: The Kingdom of Jin is destroyed
In the ninth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei Grand Canyon annihilated 100,000 Jin troops, and Wanyanchang committed suicide after defeat. Yue Fei then took advantage of the situation to pursue and attack Shangjing.
The Kingdom of Jin perished, and the world was shocked.
"What do you say? The Kingdom of Jin was destroyed? ”
Han Shizhong grabbed Qiao Hu, who came to report the news to him, and asked excitedly.
"Yes, General Yue has invaded Shangjing, and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom has been captured by us."
"The Jin State that destroyed the Liao State and captured Bianliang was really destroyed?"
Qiao Hu felt that his shoulders were pinched, but he still endured and said: "Yes, the whole Lin'an knows it, and there are people celebrating on all streets." ”
"Jin Guozhen..."
"General, it's true, you'll know when you go out. And can you let me go first, I feel like my arm is almost swollen. ”
"Oooh."
Han Shizhong let go of his hand at this time, but there was still an unbelievable look on his face.
Anyone who hears this news will have some doubts about life. That's the Golden Country, the Golden Country with 300,000 elites. Haven't you been bullying the Song Dynasty before, why was it destroyed by the Song Dynasty in less than three years?
This doesn't make sense, what the hell is going on!
"I want to see Your Majesty at once. Quick, get me the carriage ready. ”
"General, now not only you, but all the ministers and the common people are gathered in front of the palace, waiting to see Your Majesty."
"Then I don't have to hurry over."
"Oh, yes, yes."
Han Shizhong no longer has an official position, but after all, he is still the chief instructor of the military academy, and his position is the same as that of the captain of the Han Dynasty. When encountering such a major event as the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, he naturally could not be absent.
There were too many people on the street, and Han Shizhong found out for the first time that it was possible to ride the carriage so slowly, and it turned out that there were so many people in Lin'an.
"Stop, I'm going to walk to the palace."
"But the general, there's still a long way to go!"
When Liu Chan set up the military academy, he deliberately placed the military academy in a very remote place for reasons of secrecy. Han Shizhong originally felt that this made sense, but now, he scolded in his heart.
Why should the military school be located in such a remote place!
How long does he have to walk?
Han Shizhong didn't know how long he walked, and finally he couldn't walk. It's not that the body is tired, but that there are really too many people in front. He looked around and found that he was still half an hour away from walking to the palace gate!
How many people are here?
He's going to go in, he's going to let His Majesty see him.
Fortunately, the guards in charge of protecting the security of the palace found him and hurriedly pulled him aside, "Lord Han, you are also here to meet Your Majesty." ”
Han Shizhong squeezed out of the crowd and let out a long breath: "Yes, why are there so many people." ”
"Everyone is here to see Your Majesty, and I heard that there is a steady stream of people behind you."
"What about Your Majesty? If it goes on like this, it will be bad if there is a riot. ”
"I heard from the people in the palace that His Majesty is discussing with the crown prince and the prime minister."
"Come out, come out, Your Majesty come out."
The crowd suddenly erupted in strong cheers, and the guard said to Han Shi and hurriedly stabilized the order of the crowd.
Han Shizhong looked over and saw Liu Chan standing on the city wall, followed by the prince and Zhao Xiang. The distance is too far, and it is difficult for Han Shizhong to see the whole picture, so he can only guess by imagination.
"I don't know if Qin Hui will complain about missing this scene in front of him, hehe."
Although Han Shizhong has a lot of respect for Qin Hui on the surface, he actually doesn't know what the scolding is in his heart. In the past few years, Qin Hui has done okay, and in the past few years, he has not done any personnel at all.
Liu Chan shouted something at the head of the city, but Han Shizhong didn't hear it. Listening to the people on the side, it seems that there is a national feast for three days, and there is no curfew or anything.
In short, happy is the end of the business.
It was a long time before the people went to other places to celebrate under the guidance of the guards. Only then was Han Shizhong able to approach the palace gate, only to see that many ministers were already waiting there.
"I've seen Lord Han."
Although Han Shizhong's official position is gone, everyone still respects him so much.
The white jade pillar of the sky, the purple gold beam of the sea is not blown.
After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, the reason why Song and Jin were able to achieve partial peace with Han Shizhong can be said to be inseparable. Even Han Shizhong's merits are not exaggerated in history.
In addition, most of today's courtiers are courtiers of the main battle faction, and they have more or less something to do with Han Shizhong, so Han Shizhong's status has increased instead of decreasing.
At this time, the palace door opened, and Zhao Hao walked out from inside and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty said, everything will wait until tomorrow morning." Today, it is temporarily gone. ”
Then Zhao Hao looked at Han Shizhong again: "Lord Han, Your Majesty let you in, and said that I want to discuss with you about the military school." ”
"Please lead the way."
Han Shizhong followed Zhao Hao to Qianning Palace, only to see Liu Chan sitting there with his eyes closed, without a trace of excitement at all.
Liu Chan heard the sound and said, "Liangchen, you are here." No need to be polite, let's go. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Han Shizhong clenched his fists and found a chair close to Liu Chan to sit down. "Your Majesty, why is it sad, is it happy?"
"Of course I'm happy, Pengju destroyed the Jin Kingdom and got rid of the first major trouble of my dynasty, of course I'm happy. It's just that the situation in the north is too complicated. ”
Han Shizhong was puzzled and looked at Liu Chan suspiciously.
Liu Chan explained: "There is not only one Jin country in the north, but also many small tribes. Once they are allowed to rise, in a few decades, I am afraid that it will be another golden country. ”
"Back to Your Majesty, in all dynasties, the barbarians in the north have always been the number one problem in my Central Plains, but there has never been a dynasty that can solve it. The Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, the Khitan of the Tang Dynasty, and the Jin State of our Dynasty. They are like weeds, which cannot be extinguished. ”
"It's not that I don't know, but you also know that it is difficult for our dynasty to be as martial as the Han and Tang dynasties after all, and what I am worried about is that after a hundred years, no one will be able to suppress those barbarians."
"After all, this is a problem for the ages."
Han Shizhong also sighed, unable to think of any way.
If you want to say that the Song Dynasty is also as martial as the Han and Tang Dynasties, this is simply impossible. More than 100 years of history and culture have long smoothed out the blood in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.
Even if it is the current emperor, the ministers all support the main war, even the people also support the main war, but in another ten years, the Song Dynasty will still be the Song Dynasty, and peace will still be peace.
Unless the Song Dynasty was destroyed, unless it was a new dynasty, the literati atmosphere of the Song Dynasty would not change at all.
Bianliang was captured, and the shame of Jingkang only made the people of the Song Dynasty have less than 20 years of enthusiasm for the main battle.
"Therefore, I intend to eliminate the entire northern scourge in one fell swoop, so that my dynasty can truly achieve peace for a hundred years."
"What is Your Majesty going to do?"
"Why are the barbarians of the north strong? And why do they keep harassing our country? ”
"Most of the barbarians were shepherds of sheep or cattle, and they had to chase water and grass every year. Therefore, the lack of a fixed residence, coupled with the perennial migration, makes their physical fitness far greater than that of our dynasty. ”
"Chasing aquatic weeds, which means that as long as there are enough aquatic weeds in a place, they will always settle there?"
"Yes, as long as they can settle down, it will only take a few years to form a village. At that time, the danger from the north to our DPRK will be greatly reduced. ”
Liu Chan pondered for a while, "So we need grass seeds." ”
"Grass seeds?"
Han Shizhong touched his head, not knowing what Liu Chan was talking about. He knows wheat seeds, rice seeds, but what is grass seeds?
"That's right, we need someone who can grow grass, no, it should be a group of people."
"Planting grass?"
"Zhao Hao, pass the order, if anyone can master the technology of planting grass and be able to grow grass in the north. Reward 1,000 taels of gold, give a marquis, hereditary replacement, and rest with the country. ”
"Your Majesty, isn't this reward too amazing?"
Han Shizhong said to stop him, you must know that many meritorious generals have not been made marquises.
That is, Yue Yun, who followed Liu Chan to break the 40,000 gold army in Yuncheng, was made a marquis, but he was not hereditary, and he retired with the country.
Speaking of which, Han Shizhong wanted to go, Yue Fei had been busy with the Northern Expedition for most of his life, but the result was not as high as his son's credit.
At that time, when the generals gathered, a group of people canceled Yue Fei because of this.
"Since you can't develop a belligerent character, you have to make a breakthrough in technology. I want to tell the world that I value technical talents in the future. The rotten Confucian, who can only tell the truth, is just a squire if he dies. ”
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Liu Chan insulting the literati, Han Shizhong, who was a military general, hurriedly responded. Although Liu Chan improved the treatment of military generals, it was still much worse than that of civilian officials.
Civilian officials have suppressed military generals for more than 100 years, and the treatment of each other will not be changed for a while.
"The matter of the military school, you have disappointed me too much."
Liu Chan lifted his forehead, his head ached, but Han Shizhong still didn't fully understand what he meant.
A good military academy made Han Shizhong a place for recruit training.
Then why did Liu Chan open a military academy, it's not good to open a military camp directly.
"The minister is guilty."
"Military school, military school, to put it bluntly, it's still a school. I let you train generals, but I didn't let you train big soldiers. The general I want is the kind of general who can read and write, and can lead troops to fight. You look at what you're training for, and you don't even know a word by one. ”
"After the minister returned, he immediately found a good teacher and taught them the Four Books and the Five Classics."
"Four Books and Five Classics?"
Liu Chan gritted his teeth and looked at Han Shizhong: "What to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, there are already so many civil officials, it's not enough!" ”
Liu Chan walked around the room angrily, holding back his anger and explaining to Han Shizhong: "I want you to teach them basic reading and writing skills, teach them to be loyal and patriotic, and teach them to lead troops to fight. It's not for you to teach them how to become saints, you know! ”
The last sentence, Liu Chan almost shouted.
"I understand."
