Chapter XVII: The Five-Year Covenant

In fact, in history, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongol army went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty fought against the fierce enemy of the Mongol Yuan for 45 years, although it has been in a disadvantageous position, but it has carried out stubborn resistance.

What the Mongols didn't expect was that their Great Khan, Meng Ge, would also be injured and die under a certain city wall in the Southern Song Dynasty.

You must know that it took only one year for the Mongols to conquer Western Liao, one and a half years to conquer Khorizm, five years to conquer the Rus' Union (present-day Russia), eight years to conquer Persia and the Abbasids, ten years to conquer Western Xia, and twenty-two years to conquer the Jin Dynasty.

And it took 45 years for Mongolia to completely defeat the so-called weak Southern Song Dynasty in people's impression!

Moreover, this is also the largest deployment of troops in the history of the Mongolian army, attacking a country with a whole country.

It was also necessary to outflank (after the destruction of Dali to form a two-sided attack) and many years of hard fighting, it was difficult to achieve victory.

This is the only time in the history of the Mongol conquest.

The most formidable opponent encountered by the Mongol army in conquering the world was the Southern Song Dynasty!

Moreover, the Northern and Southern Song dynasties combined, the foreign wars of more than 10,000 people, its victory rate was as high as seventy percent, which was much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous era of Zhenguan, which was still the statistical result of being pressed by Mongolia for 45 years in the later period.

In other words, if it weren't for Mongolia, a "strong enemy unseen in a thousand years" that can be said to be invincible all over the world, the Great Song Dynasty might have been able to fight the Persian Empire.

"However, the living conditions of the commoners are really ......" Qiu Qiang, as a modern person, was reborn here, and he really had no sense of awe for the emperor, just chatting with an old man, so that he was neither humble nor arrogant, but not rude.

At this time, Qiu Poor said very directly, "What I saw on the road was that the people were miserable, and compared with the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it was like heaven and earth. I don't know why?"

And Zhao Kuo was not angry, and said, "Actually, the living conditions of the residents of the Southern Song Dynasty are still good. ”

Indeed, the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in Chinese history that adhered to the conscription system for a long time.

The Song army can be called the world's first standing mercenary army in the true sense of the word, and the treatment is extremely favorable.

At that time, only the Song Dynasty had the strength to implement the conscription system.

One of the most original measures is the "recruitment of troops in the famine year", whenever there is a disaster and the people cannot survive, the imperial court recruits a large number of troops there.

The so-called "for every person recruited, the court will have one more soldier, and the mountains and fields will have one less thief." ”

If one person is a soldier, the whole family will have no food and clothing.

The peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty were few and the scale was not large, and the recruitment of troops in the famine year was indispensable!

The population of the Tang Dynasty had more than 50 million at its peak, and the population of the Song Dynasty exceeded 100 million at its peak. Even now, only the Southern Song Dynasty remains, and the population is more than 10 million more than that of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why Qiu poor feel that the people are suffering is entirely due to low social productivity, insufficient food, and low medical standards.

Compared to the previous life, this is indeed a hell on earth. Compared with Qiu Qiao's career in the Iron Palm Gang, the living conditions of civilians are indeed miserable.

And there is no trace of people for thousands of miles, that is also Qiu Poor's own illusion, the route he went all the way to Shandong back then was almost the war zone at the junction of Jin and Song, how could there be many people living there?

Besides, the current population of the Southern Song Dynasty is only about 60 million people, while the population of the three cities of BJ, TJ and SH in the previous life was nearly 60 million. Therefore, Qiu Qiang will of course feel that the Great Song Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated.

"The widow has done his best, but it's a pity...... The world is like this, and now the Great Song Dynasty is like a Shen Ke body, and I can't do anything about it. Although Zhao Kuo has worked hard over the years, he is also very helpless.

But Qiu Qiao's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, all of this is different from what he imagined.

Since the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty is not weak, it has the confidence to resist.

The military strength is sufficient to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and the leadership team is not pedantic, and it also has the advantages of the city.

As long as you can diligently repair internal affairs, let the people recuperate, and enrich the country and strengthen the people.

With his strategic vision beyond the times, cough, he generally knows the direction of history.

Coupled with the appropriate strategic deployment and advanced weapons and equipment, he also holds Wu Mu's suicide note, and under the elite soldiers, it is possible to destroy the Jin State, or even counterattack Mongolia.

Communicating this idea with Zhao Kuoyi, the more Zhao Kuo listened, the more excited he became.

Qiu Qiang talked about the people and the military, and the head was the Tao, and there were some whimsical ideas such as special forces composed of martial arts masters, and the method of mine fever and balloons came from him.

"Such a talent ......" Zhao Kuo's hands trembled excitedly, grabbed Qiu Qiang's hand and said, "The Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing will come from you." ”

"I thought you grew up in the rivers and lakes, but you can't ...... But I don't want you to be full of economy, Wen Taowu knows everything. Sister Baoqin is right, the marquis is really the talent of the marquis and the prime minister. Zhao Kuo's eyes were a little red.

"Forehead......" Qiu Qiang was a little stunned, "As for it, I'm just talking about modern tactics and the invention and use of some agricultural equipment, why is it a little bit of a martial arts, sweat ......?"

"No, what the hell is Sister Baoqin?" Qiu Qiang looked at Zhao Kuo with the expression of his father who had been missing for many years, "Could it be ......"

"I don't know why Your Majesty calls my mother ......" Qiu Qian paused, and then said, "And Your Majesty has always treated me so well, could it be ......"

"I'm just a momentary gaffe, a momentary gaffe, your mother is my mother's niece, that is, my cousin, the two of us grew up together, your mother and son look alike, I see you as if I see your mother, unconsciously a little close. Zhao Kuo waved his hand in disguise.

Qiu Qiang's face is black, you must know that Qiu Qiang has a pair of thick eyebrows and a high nose bridge, this appearance is handsome on a man, and on a woman...... Qiu Qiang thought of the pair of thick eyebrows like a flower, and a chill ......

After taking a closer look, he saw that Zhao Kuan looked completely different from himself, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, why disgust me, cut. ”

Of course, Qiu Qiang would not say this, so he had to skip this part, took out Wu Mu's suicide note, and handed it over.

Zhao Kuo was excited again when he saw the words 'Wu Mu's suicide note', "You...... You ......" Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes backwards and fainted.

Fortunately, Qiu Qiang's internal strength was changeable, and he reacted, and directly switched the attribute of stabilizing his mind, stabilized Zhao Kuo's emotions, and woke him up.

At the moment, Qiu Qian didn't dare to say more, for fear that this old man would draw it again as if Fan Wei had won the lottery.

I just said that I would come back tomorrow, so I hurried away.

But it was said that Qiu Qian lived in Lin'an City for more than half a year.

During this time, Qiu Qiang and Zhao Kuo discussed countless times how to run the country and how to deal with foreign enemies.

Zhao Kuo was impressed by his whimsy, and invited him to discuss politics countless times, but Qiu Qiang refused.

Qiu Poor is actually a little hesitant, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and with this identity opportunity, if he does not aspire to the country with enthusiasm, he is really unwilling.

But this is the world of condor shooting, the plot should have begun at this time, one by one, heroes, legends floated in front of Qiu Qiao's eyes, if you can't appreciate the taste of love and hate in your lifetime, you are even more unwilling.

However, as the emperor, how could Zhao Kuo not see that Qiu Qiang still had concerns in his heart and was unwilling to give up.

But which is more important than the state and the individual?

After getting along for several months, Zhao Kuo certainly knew that although Qiu Qiang was gentle and pure, his personality was very stubborn, and he was afraid that he could only accommodate him.

"If he hadn't been Baoqin's child, with his temperament, I am afraid that he would have been dragged out and beaten to death by me. Hum. ”

So, on this day, Zhao Kuan brought up the old matter again and said, "I know that you are worried, but you also know the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, if I can get your help, there is still a glimmer of life, otherwise a hundred years later, I am only afraid of ......"

"Your Majesty, anyway, the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia have been fighting recently, and I don't care if I am not there. Why don't you give me ten years, but I have a personal wish, and come to the court again, okay?"

"That's it, that's it, if you are absent-minded, it is useless to force you to stay. It's just that ten years is too long, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for ten years later. Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh.

"However, there are some ways to govern the people and the army, and even if you are not there, it really has little impact. You left behind the 'Wu Mu Testament', the so-called 'hybridization' method, the loom, and your special forces training method. ”

When Zhao Kuo said this, he looked at Qiu Qian again and said, "Isn't it better to have three years?"

Without waiting for Qiu Qiang to answer, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Three years is too short, ten years is too long, so I will compromise and count five years." That's it. ”

Turning around and leaving is considered to be an established fact.

Qiu Qian couldn't cry or laugh, this old man ...... But for the sake of Da Song, he also did his best.

(This is someone else's country, how can it be like you, hang your child, don't take it seriously--!)

Five years later, Qiu was poor. Qiu Qiang said loudly.

Zhao Kuodao, "Are you called Qiu Qian or Zhao Xian?"

Qiu Qiang said, "My name is Qiu Poor, and my name is Ji Xian." ”

After that, he took the light work, and went far away in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Kuo hurriedly said, "What about the things you left behind?!"

"It's already on the table in your study......"

Qiu Qiao's evil laughter was faintly heard in the wind.

The first volume, the first to come out of the rivers and lakes, the end.

PS:

But he said that on this day, it was quite windy and sunny.

I saw Qiu Qianzhang suddenly trot, rushed out of the room, and roared angrily, "Author! I protest, I want to add drama!"

"That's it, that's it, I'm going to make more drama too!" Xiao Qiongzhi waved his arms with an angry expression.

"It's all mentioned about me, and you won't let me play, and if you don't give me more drama, I'll jump into the river!" Mrs. Langya didn't know where to float from.

The author fungus, "Plus, all plus, you all have plus play." Don't worry, I've dug so many holes, I'm sure I'll fill them up slowly......"

Qiu Qianqi's face was black, and he raised his hand weakly, "I haven't spoken yet......"
