"The Song Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years and has a hundred-year alliance with the Khitans. For more than 100 years, there has been no war except for the northwest corner. The country is strong and the people are rich. It is reasonable that it should have gone north to conquer and recovered its homeland. Now the officials intend to fight the northern expedition, but they have been repeatedly obstructed. The reason is that apart from the actual considerations and moral considerations, the prosperity created by a century of peace has worn away the passion of the Chinese. They are content with the status quo and are worried about failure. In the final analysis, they are afraid of losing their interests."
Zhao Liangsi talked, "After I arrived in the Song Dynasty, I learned a lot of things. What impressed me the most was the struggle for reform. Wang Anshi's reform was originally intended to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but the new law suffered heavy blows because it violated the interests of the powerful and powerful."
"In the Song Dynasty, those who supported the reform were called Yuanfeng Party members, while those who opposed the reform were called Yuanyou Party members. After the officials inherited the throne, they expelled all the Yuanyou Party members. The meaning was very obvious, that is, they wanted to be determined to reform, strengthen the country and enrich the people, and then regain their hometowns and unify China and foreign countries."
"There is no error in this strategy, but today it seems that the country is strong and the people are rich, and there are also bad things. For example, fearing war, not daring to bear the blame for failure, and rather maintaining success than making progress. What is particularly puzzling is that the more noble the person is and outstanding ingenuity, the more opposed the reform and war, they have the courage to advise each other to die. They have the courage to spare no effort to attack their opponents, but they have no courage to reform, expand their territory, and build a stronger dynasty. This is really hard to understand." "Look at the Jurchens today, they have nothing, but they have the courage, they have no
Fearless, they dared to fight to the death, what was the result? They defeated 700,000 Liao troops and won the victory of protecting Bu Dagang. They established the Great Jin Kingdom because of this war. They rose from nothing to something. "Zhao Liangsi was a little excited, and his voice became louder and louder. "On the contrary, look at the Great Song Dynasty, which is better than the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens? Now the Great Song Dynasty is hesitant about the Northern Expedition, while the Jurchens are moving forward. What can we say about this? Courage, the Great Song Dynasty lacks nothing, but lacks courage, lacks the courage to forge ahead. The backbone of the Han people."
The room was very quiet, with only Zhao Liangsi's rapid breathing.
Huang She looked at him in a daze, wondering why he suddenly felt this feeling? Ma Zhi yearned for the Celestial Empire and was determined to regain his hometown. For this reason, he abandoned everything. However, just a few years later, he changed, his enthusiasm was fading, and his blood was cooling down. Why?
"What's wrong with the official family? Is there any mistake in expelling the Yuanyou Party members in order to strengthen the country and enrich the people and to reform the law?"
"In order to regain my hometown, the government did its best to fight in the northwest for more than ten years. What's wrong with this? The commander of the Northwest Army could not understand the strategy of the government. So the government let Tong Guan serve as the commander of the Northwest Army, and he has won many victories over the past ten years. More importantly, it dragged down the Western Xia. With the national strength of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and then completely pacified the Northwest, is there any mistake in this strategy?"
"Now that the war is everywhere in Liaodong, the Jurchens are rising in Liaodong, and the Khitans are in danger. Take advantage of this opportunity to go north to conquer and recover their hometown. What's wrong with this?"
"But in the court, except for the officials and their confidants, everyone else opposed it... It seemed that the Song Dynasty should be content with the status quo. It seemed that the Song Dynasty should sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. It seemed that the Song Dynasty should abandon its homeland. It seemed that the officials and his confidants were treacherous and wicked people who harmed the country and the people. Only they were loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty."
"Shameless..." Zhao Liangsi was heartbroken and finally couldn't help but curse, "Why are they content with the status quo? Why are they sitting in the mountains and watching tiger fights? Why are they unintentionally regaining their hometown? They are worried about failure, fear of taking responsibility, and fear of losing their own interests. They eat the flesh of the Song Dynasty and drink the blood of the Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty needed them, they shrank their heads and became turtles. Not only that, they also pulled their legs and used their own tricks and did everything they could. In the world, this is the most shameless group of people who think they are noble and loyal..."
"I saw a scene in the Daliao Palace tent, and I also saw it in the Song Dynasty. It is more shameless and even more evil than the Daliao Palace tent.
Huang She felt suffocated and dizzy.
Ma Zhi is his good friend. If it weren't for this relationship, he would never have said such words in such an occasion. He would definitely be too painful, so he couldn't help but vent his feelings.
After a long time, Zhao Liangsi calmed down and said sincerely: "The official family did not hesitate to violate the ancestral system and agreed to the vassal states. This shows how high his expectations for you are. If you can help the official family recover their hometown, make the ministers of the warlords proud, and a heavy blow to the shameless literati and officials in the court, it will not only benefit the official family and a group of ministers, but also the people of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. With the homeland of Yanyun and the barrier of the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty will be considered complete and safe, and then the national policy of guarding the internal and external weakness can be changed, and we can talk about the great cause of unification between China and foreign countries."
Huang She naturally agreed.
Zhao Liangsi's words shocked him extremely. The most important thing such as expanding territory is to work together. The reason why Qin Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang was able to build great achievements that shook the past and the present was all like this. The same is true for the Jurchens to establish a country and open a border today. On the other hand, the reason why the Great Liao Dynasty failed was not because of its strength, but because of internal strife and in the palace tent. If the situation in the Song Dynasty and the Daliao Palace tent was exactly the same, the ministers were afraid before fighting for their own selfish interests, and the great wishes of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty might end in failure.
The original intention of the Liaodong rebel army was to get assistance from the Song Dynasty, and then fight a piece of land to develop and grow. Whether it can survive depends on its own strength. Therefore, the situation in the Song Dynasty would not affect the rebel army in the short term. However, in the long run, the ultimate way out of the rebel army is closely related to the Song Dynasty. Now the situation in Liaodong is developing faster and faster and clearer. Regardless of whether the Liao and Jin Dynasty were fighting or reconciling, the time left for Yi to develop is extremely limited. To a certain extent, the strategies of the Song emperor and the Song court will directly affect the survival of the rebel army.
Zhao Liangsi then explained in detail the meaning of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Given the current situation of the Song court, the emperor had to reopen the strategy of pacifying Yan, and could only bypass the outer court, so the emperor's acceptance of Li Hu and the Liaodong rebel army must be kept confidential and cannot be made public for the time being. Secondly, aid must be given, but it cannot be paid for free, because the allocation of materials requires passing through the outer court, and the emperor needs to give the outer court a reasonable reason. Therefore, before the situation in Liaodong is clear, aid can only be transported to Liaodong in the form of a return to the Yi, that is, war horses are exchanged for supplies. In fact, this is also the emperor's defense to avoid being in vain and leaving a laughing stock.
Huang She was very surprised, but he didn't expect that the trip to Bianjing would be so smooth. It seems that Li Hu's luck is good, and the gods should be blessed. When he needed the Song Dynasty, the horses arrived. When he needed money and supplies, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty agreed. When he was on Taohua Island, Li Hu and himself were worried that this trip might be back empty-handed, but things would go so smoothly. God blessed, God blessed.
The two talked about some details. Zhao Liangsi immediately said goodbye and returned to the palace to reply.
After Ma Kuo sent Zhao Liangsu away, he asked about the negotiations. Huang She did not hide it. He told the truth. Zhao Liangsi explained the plan to pacify Yan in detail, and also talked about the details of accepting the rebel army, and only omitted Zhao Liangsi's cathartic words.
Ma Kuo was overjoyed, "Since the official asked him to explain the plan to pacify Yan and inform the war in the northwest, it can be seen that he had high expectations for the rebel army, and this matter would be accomplished."
Huang She saw this powerful minister of the Song Dynasty who was famous all over the world. Cai Jing was already 72 years old, with all his beards and hair, but he was well maintained. He looked younger than his real age. He was majestic and energetic. He naturally showed a compelling aura in his conversation. This momentum made Huang She a little nervous. When he first met, he was a little nervous, unable to breathe, and he was not ticking.
Cai Jing spoke calmly and powerfully, and every sentence hit the key points. There was no nonsense, and one sentence after another, which made Huang She overwhelmed and didn't even have the opportunity to think. It seemed that Cai Jing in front of him was a roar and rushing towards him, wanting to tear himself apart.
The room was very cool, but Huang She was sweating on her forehead and soon she saw sweat. It was summer, and she was thin and Huang She had nowhere to hide. Her sweat looked very embarrassed.
Cai Jing suddenly stood up and handed Huang She an exquisite palm fan, with a smile on her face, "You come to Bian Jing like this, you are actually making a fortune. All your promises are like the air in summer. Although it is hot, it is invisible after all."
Huang She respectfully took the palm-leaf fan, shook it a few times, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face, "What do you need for my husband?"
"This year, I will see you capture Pingzhou Road, otherwise..." Cai Jing paused for a moment and said slowly, "Otherwise, your promises will make no sense."
Huang She hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
"The reason you defected to the Song Dynasty was to alleviate your own survival crisis." Cai Jing changed his tone, and two or three sentences made the current situation of Li Hu and the Rebel Army clearly stated. "For the Khitans, you are the root of disaster and will definitely destroy you. For the Jurchens, you still have value in use, but when you have no value in use, you will be finished. Therefore, you defected to the Song Dynasty without the capital to bargain. The Song Dynasty can accept you is His Majesty's great gift. You must be grateful and swear to your loyalty to the death."
