Chapter 162 Meeting in Kunming

"Okay, I really didn't expect that you have done so many good things in the past six months. With you loyal ministers from the country, why worry about the Song Dynasty not prospering? Why worry about the great cause of restoration? Why worry about the inability to be completed?" After listening to Li Tingzhi and the others' reports, Li Jun went to have many good things. It can be said that the many good things are the most good news that Li Jun heard after coming to this world. Even if Li Jun was not a person who could be excited easily, he had to be excited. Mo Ming was so happy that he had no small crack in his eyes. He used three "worry" to express his good mood.

Wen Tianxiang said emotionally: "This is all the wise and wise of the emperor. If it weren't for the wise and letting me do it, there would be no such achievements. These are all the achievements of the emperor, and I have no contribution at all."

If you study history, people will find a rule: if a monarch is not very wise, if he believes in his ministers and let his ministers do it, he can still achieve hegemony. This example can be used by Duke Huan of Qi to use Guan Zhong exclusively. Historically, Duke Huan of Qi was considered to be of average talent, but he could trust Guan Zhong and entrusted it to him with all his power. In the end, he became the leader of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period".

There are many similar examples, such as Qin Xiaogong who was responsible for Shang Yang's reforms, Qin became stronger, and eventually unified China. The same was true for Liu Bei's use of Zhuge Liang. The emperor appointed these famous ministers and capable ministers with the help of the most talented officials. How could there not be prosperity?

We also found a rule in history that is opposite to this rule: a promising king is difficult to serve his ministers, and even if he uses it, he will be retained. This best example is Emperor Wu of Han. The achievements created by Emperor Wu of Han have indeed had a profound impact on Chinese history. He is surrounded by talents. The "Book of Han? The Book of Wu" praises him for his beauty in "Poems" and "Book of Books". However, he was deeply criticized by later generations. One of the reasons is that many of his ministers did not have a good beginning and end, and many of them suffered sudden disasters.

There are many reasons for studying it. One of the reasons is that he is a great ruler and must reach the limit of manpower. If you like to do it yourself, it is difficult for his ministers to let his subjects do it. The general principles of the great masters are only above Emperor Wu of Han, and Qin Shihuang, who is not under him, also have the same shortcomings.

We can summarize it as: the more promising the king, the harder it is to let the ministers do it! Because they are the kings who are promising. If there is something that is not under their own control, it is an unbearable thing for them to psychologically. They want to control everything they can control, even if it is a shadow.

The grand occasions like Emperor Guangwu of Han’s “Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai” and Emperor Taizong of Tang’s “Twenty-Four Scholars of Lingyan Pavilion” are indeed rare. Emperor Guangwu of Tang and Emperor Taizong of Tang are both wise rulers, and it is rare to trust his subordinates so much.

Unfortunately, the achievements of the two of them were not enough than those of Qin Emperor and Han Wu, just as the great leader criticized them as "slightly inferior to those of the charming style".

People with extraordinary talents and other talents would not not understand this principle. It is difficult for wise rulers like Li Jun to let them do it. However, Li Jun believed them without doubt and asked them to do it with their hands and feet. It is indeed rare. Not to mention anything else, they just hand over the house repair to those merchants to do something. If someone else changes, they might think it would be a damaging to the majesty of the court and they would be scolded, but Li Jun praised them so much that they could not accept it.

This was said to Li Tingzhi and the others, and they nodded their heads one by one and said, "Your Majesty, what Lu Shan said is extremely true. These are all the wise wisdom of the emperor!"

Li Jun smiled and shook his hand, saying, "Don't flatter you. Lu Shan, you can remember what I said to you: Always tell the truth! In addition to this, I also want you to remember: Never say good things, just pick the shortcomings if you want to say them! This is your Lu Shan's style."

When the situation was getting better, Li Jun was not only not confused by the words of praise, but instead asked Wen Tianxiang to find faults and find faults. What kind of mind was this? Even if all the words of praise were used, it could not be expressed in any way. Wen Tianxiang and the others knelt down for Li Jun and shouted emotionally: "Your Majesty!" They were so moved that they cried and could not speak.

Li Jun hurriedly helped them up and said, "To be honest, I am in a good mood, very good. I have seen and heard all the way and sang all the way, which made me feel very good. If I listened to your good things, I wouldn't be happy. However, we must never forget: the Central Plains are still under the iron hoof of the Tartars, the people are still in dire straits, and the land of Yanyun is still in the hands of the Tartars. The northeast, northwest, Tibet, and the Western Regions are still outside the borders. Our final goal is to achieve the unification of China. The current situation is good, but we are still: the responsibility is heavy and the way is long! We must not be complacent!"

"I remember!" Li Tingzhi and the others were very excited to be taught. Li Jun's words were very clear, that is, not only to restore the Central Plains, but also to recover the land of Yanyun, but also to reclaim all the territories that were originally Chinese, but were divided or divided due to the wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and to achieve the unification of China. Only the true "Greatly Available King" can have such lofty ambitions. The excitement in Li Tingzhi and the others is no longer described in writing.

Li Jun pondered for a moment and said, "We must base ourselves on the country and improve the lives of the people. We must also make good use of overseas trade. As long as we make good use of it, overseas trade will bring us many benefits. If someone is ignorant and the court has a large number of invincible warships, then use strong ships and sharp guns to speak, and use invincible warships to open his country's door!"

In modern history, the great powers used strong ships and powerful guns to bombard China's national gates and humiliate China. Li Jun said a proud pride in another world, which was enough to be ashamed and incompetent Qingting.

Li Jun's words were tantamount to reaffirming Su Dingfang and his bombardment of Manila, and also allowed a powerful naval fleet to be dispatched to protect the interests of the court when necessary. This was a far-reaching incident, and the emperor spoke, which was the best guarantee for those merchants. They were all open up commercial roads everywhere. If they were treated unfairly, the invincible warships of the court would come to protect them and seek justice for them. Can they still not open up commercial roads?

This is also an important reason why the Southern Song Dynasty's navigation industry was developed, overseas trade was extremely prosperous, and eventually entered the era of great navigation.

Most countries were frightened by the powerful military forces of the Southern Song Dynasty and did not dare to be unfair to the Chinese, but there were exceptions, that is, the land of Japan, the land of Japan was self-righteous and made things difficult for Chinese merchants, which led to a large-scale expedition of the Southern Song army and swept across Japan. Of course, this is a later story.

"General Huang, long time no see, your complexion is much better, it's better than before." Zhang Jue bowed his fists and said to Huang Han, very happy.

Huang Han has the kind of character of Mount Tai that has not changed in front of him. He was also very happy at this time. His face was full of smiles. He held Zhang Jue's hand intimately and said with a smile: "General Zhang has been too rewarded. Aren't you the same? You said, why are you so happy? Let me guess." This genius infantry general has never talked much, and there are not many things that he will talk about when he meets him.

He paused and said, "If you win too many battles, people will be happy." While Huang Han said this, Zhang Jue tapped Huang Han's belly with his right hand and said it in unison. The two of them had the same views and laughed loudly, laughing happily.

"The heroes see the same thing." Zhang Jue smiled and said, "General Huang came so quickly. We just arrived in Kunming, and you were here."

Huang Han smiled and said, "Aren't you faster? We are behind you. Come on, General Chen, this one is General Zhang Jue, whose courtesy name is Junyu." He is introducing Chen Xingdao and Zhang Jue.

"Chen Xingdao has heard of General Zhang's name for a long time, and it is well known to him. I didn't expect to see him today, so I am so comforting my life." Chen Xingdao clasped his fists to Zhang Jue and said, "Chen Xingdao has met the general."

This is not a polite word. Zhang Jue was in Sichuan for 20 years of the Anti-Japanese War, especially in the Battle of Diaoyu City. Mengge died at the city, which made him famous and famous. Chen Xingdao, a famous Vietnamese general who defeated the Mongolian army, did not pay attention to the principle of Zhang Jue, a famous general. He had long heard of his name.

Chen Xingdao has made many military achievements since he followed Huang Han to sweep Guizhou and marched into Yunnan. Li Jun issued an order to praise him. Zhang Jue knew that he was a good general who knew the general and felt respectful. He bowed his fists and said, "Zhang Jue has seen a general. The general defeated 100,000 Tartars. His heroic spirit is really gratitude." He said it sincerely.

Chen Xingdao was very moved and said, "The general has been awarded too much. How can the last general's merits in his battle be compared with the general's 20 years of war of resistance?"

"The general was awarded. Zhang Jue was unable to defeat the Tartars in his 20 years of the War of Resistance. The general decided to Vietnam in one battle, and Zhang Jue was ashamed." Zhang Jue was very sympathetic to mutual appreciation.

Famous generals met and heroes cherished heroes. Chen Xing said that he wanted to cherish each other and said, "The general is so serious."

Huang Han smiled and said, "Don't be too busy with humility, you two. Jun Yu, how do you think this battle in Kunming?"

"General Huang, you are too anxious." Zhang Jue said with a smile, "The Tartars are defeated again and again, and they are already poor. If they launch an attack, they will be defeated within three days. However, if they attack strongly, there will be casualties. The emperor said that the soldiers are all treasures of the court and should be cherished. I think it is better to write a letter of persuasion to Kuokuo, the Tartars, first and ask him to surrender."

Huang Han nodded in agreement and said, "Well, Jun Yu's words are extremely true. Our soldiers cannot be thrown into Kunming City for nothing. Their blood should be sprinkled on the Central Plains. Just do this. The Tartars are now depressed, their sharpness is exhausted, and their troops are not large. Although there is a large amount of grain reserves in Kunming City, they are powerless. If you surrender your books everywhere, Kuokuo will surrender."

"What the two generals said is very true." Chen Xingdao deeply agreed and said, "The general thought that while persuading surrender, we must act as an immediate attack on the city, which will put a huge pressure on Kuokuo. He will not be able to surrender at that time. As for this book of persuading surrender, we will use some tricks to scare him half to death first."

Kuokuo held a piece of shabby sheepskin, holding it tightly in his right hand, with blue veins on his arm protruding and twisted, like an old tree's roots, frowned and frowned, and could get out of water. His eyes looked straight ahead, motionless. If his chest hadn't fluctuated sharply, he would have regarded him as a statue.

The light in his eyes kept changing. Sometimes it was shining with brilliance, very powerful, with anger on his face, and I felt the same as if I was alone; sometimes it was the light of decay, with a look of decay, and I couldn't help but sigh.

His performance seemed to have something difficult to resolve. Yes, he not only had something difficult to resolve, but also something difficult to resolve, because he received a letter of persuasion from Huang Han and Zhang Jue jointly issued by Huang Han and Zhang Jue. The letter was written very casually, written on a worn-out sheepskin. It was no wonder that Huang Han and Zhang Jue were very disdainful. They did not pay attention to whether he surrendered or not. They were going through the motions. When he thought of this, Kuokuo really wanted to reorganize the army and fight again. However, if he fought, his few defeated generals could not resist the two armies of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even the Song army was dissatisfied with the gap between the teeth.

Kuokuo held the sheepskin in front of his eyes and stared at it tightly. The three words on the sheepskin: "Do you surrender?" This is a multiple-choice question that cannot be simple, but he cannot decide. If he surrendered, he would be another general in Mongolian history who did not win. Not only would he leave him the stigma of surrendering without fighting, but it would also bring stains to his family.

His family was a well-known military meritorious family in Mongolian history. His father was Genghis Khan's ten heroes, Subutai, and he established immortal meritorious achievements during the Genghis Khan's era. His brother Wulianghetai was also a famous Mongolian general. Mengge implemented a great detour strategy and prepared to conquer Yunnan. From the flanks, Wulianghetai followed Kublai Khan to expedition to Dali. When the main war in Dali ended, Kublai Khan returned north, and Wulianghetai replaced Kublai Khan to take charge of Yunnan, wiped out the remaining Dali army, and conquered the entire Dali territory.

Later, Wulianghetai returned to Dadu and died of illness. He replaced Wulianghetai and went to Yunnan to town. It can be said that everything he has now was obtained because of his brother Wulianghetai. If he surrendered, it would not only bring him personal stigma, but also his father and his brother would be shamed for his actions.

In addition, there is another person who will be shamed, and this person is A Shu. A Shu is the son of Uryetai. He himself is born with extraordinary military talents. Everything he has obtained because of his own efforts. However, if Kuokuo surrenders, it will add a lot of variables to A Shu's future. In that case, he will be sorry for his brother who is as kind as a mountain. It is really difficult to make this decision.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Kuokuo did not make up his mind. He leaned on the chair weakly and slowly closed his eyes, as if a defeated rooster was not angry at all.

As soon as his eyes closed, a bright and bright charge sounded, which was the prelude to the Song army's attack. The Song army's yam-winning army had a high morale itself. Now that the two armies met, the morale was even higher. It was necessary to think about it. This attack would definitely be overwhelming and could destroy everything. The survival rate of the Mongolian army would be very low, although it was not zero, and it was almost the same.

"Come here." Kuokuo shouted, and the captain of the personal soldiers rushed over. Before he could salute, Kuokuo said hurriedly: "Go and ask, do they have any conditions?"

The letter of persuasion to surrender to him was only three words, and there was nothing else. He knew that Zhang Jue and others wanted him to surrender unconditionally, that is, put down his weapons and let Zhang Jue and others deal with it. In the eyes of the Song people, the Mongols were enemies and enemies. Once they were seized, they were 100% likely to be executed, and there was no chance of survival. He still had some fantasies when it was difficult to make a decision, so he sent someone to ask.

The captain of the personal soldiers came back soon and handed Kuokuo the more worn sheepskin in his hand. Kuokuo took it in his hand and hurriedly opened it and saw three words on it: "Do you want to surrender?"

This is very clear. Zhang Jue and the others still want him to surrender unconditionally and not negotiate terms with him. Kuokuo felt despair. He loosened his hands and fell to the ground, making a loud bang.

Before Kuokuo closed his weak eyes, a personal soldier rushed in with another piece of sheepskin and said, "Report to General..." Kuokuo stretched out his left hand weakly, and the personal soldier handed the sheepskin to his hand. Kuokuo took it and saw that there were still three words written on it, "Do you surrender?" He loosened his hand and the sheepskin fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

When people are in trouble, there are always so many unlucky things. Kuokuo just finished looking at the sheepskin in his hand, and four personal soldiers hurried in, and everyone was holding a worn sheepskin in his hand.

Kuokuo took a cold breath and asked, "Does it say "Do not drop" on it?"

The four personal soldiers nodded their heads in a gray face, their eyes full of despair.

Kuokuo said softly: "You pack up and go to escape. We have been in Dali for so many years and have not done anything bad. The people will not hate you like the Song army. They should be able to save their lives."

Kublai Khan went to Dali to go to Dali and adopted Yao Shu's suggestion to take care of the people's hearts, without massacre or killing. This strategy has been used to this day. If these personal soldiers escaped, the people of Dali would not have any hatred for them, and it would not be impossible for them to escape.

Without waiting for the personal soldiers to speak, Kuokuo pulled out the scimitar and put it on his neck, and he was about to wipe his neck. At this moment, a very excited voice sounded, saying: "Sir, happy event! Happy event!"

Kuokuo opened his eyes suddenly and saw a personal soldier running towards him as if he was flying, with a happy look on his face and curiously asked: "What's the matter? Are you the three words "submission or not"?"

"No, sir." The personal soldiers said excitedly: "Sir, look, they said, how we treat the people, they will treat us."
