Chapter 173 King of the subjugated country
Chapter 173: The King of the Destroyed Country
"The emperor's intention is very obvious, to let the Tartars know that the court is not the same as before." Zhao Liangchun read the order given by Li Jun to Zheng Jinghe and commented in this way.
Zhao Qian said excitedly: "The emperor has always been good at sending surprise troops. This time we went north, the Tartars must have never expected him to catch him off guard and show his military power! Facing his national power! After this battle, the Chinese people must have a strong ambition and all of them are proud."
"The two are very reasonable." Zheng Jinghe changed the subject and said, "However, Zheng believes that the emperor's true intention is not to let the Tartars know the power of the court, nor to let the Tartars know that the court is not the same as before. If the emperor's intention is only here, it is to seek temporary speed, not to be far-sighted, and every move of those who plan the country must have profound meaning."
Zheng Jinghe was calm and composed, and was ashamed of things as a god. He was very embarrassed. He was trusted by Zhao Liangchun and Zhao Qian. After hearing this, he looked at him and waited for him to give his unique insights.
Zheng Jinghe continued: "The court is no longer the same as before. It is known to everyone in the world. There is no need to be so arrogant. We want to make a big fuss under the eyes of the Tartars. That's because..."
"So, General Zheng thought the emperor's real intention was?" Zhao Qian was a little anxious and asked after interrupting him.
Zheng Jinghe walked to the map and pointed to the map and said, "This is the gateway of the capital. If the imperial army appears here, the shock to the Tartars will be very huge. The term "shocking of the government and the country" can no longer explain its impact. If this matter spreads all over the world, the impact on the Tartars' confidence and morale will be very great, and the Tartars will inevitably be shocked."
The place he refers to is not elsewhere, but now Tianjin. Tianjin is the gateway to Beijing, and its importance to Beijing is self-evident. If the Southern Song army suddenly appears here, the shock to the Mongols would be amazing. How big is this shock? It may only be the word "Sky Collapse" that can be expressed.
"Yes, it makes sense." Zhao Liangchun agreed very much. This was obvious and no one could deny it.
Zheng Jinghe did not stop, but then expressed his opinion, saying: "This is a shock, horror, and devastating morale blow to the Tartars. It affects not only the Tartars army, but also the Tartars people. If the people are already afraid, the army will be depressed. It is of great significance to the court. The court can declare the world and have a very magical effect on our morale, confidence, and encouragement of the people."
In modern terms, his words mean that the Southern Song Dynasty could take the opportunity to publicize them, which can inspire people's morale and encourage the fighting spirit of the people. The army has a very close relationship with the people. It can be said that without good people, there will be no good army.
Near the capital, there are heavy troops stationed in Mongolia, and the Five Guards and the Qiexue Corps are all nearby. The Southern Song army does not need too many, just a small army is needed to appear here, and the shocks brought will be amazing. It is wise for Li Jun to choose this place as a target.
"Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years!" Zhao Liangchun stroking his hands and said, "General Zheng's analysis is reasonable and has the effect of enlightenment for Zhao Liangchun. This matter is very important, so we are more afraid of the army and the movement is more serious."
Zhao Qian rubbed his hands and said eagerly: "General Zheng, this matter is bound to be my part. If you don't let me go, I will be anxious with you."
Zheng Jinghe smiled slightly and said, "Of course this matter requires General Zhao to work. I think most people are right in front of us. We can't just shoot Kublai Khan in front of us, right? If you want to come, just come and slap Kublai Khan hard. We not only have to go to Tianjin but also to go to Dadu."
Going to Tianjin to make trouble was already a very bold idea. He was even more courageous and wanted to make trouble in Dadu. The Mongolian army guarding Dadu was no less than 200,000, all of them were the most elite Mongolian troops. Going to the heart of the Mongolian people in Dadu to make a big fuss, it was like breaking into the tiger's den. Zhao Liangchun and Zhao Qian were shocked and said, "Can this work?"
"The way of using troops is ever-changing. In the final analysis, it depends on the word "strange". As long as we use it well, there will be no problem." Zheng Jinghe said calmly: "You two can't imagine that this is a good thing. The Tartars will not think that we can catch the Tartars off guard. Of course, our goal is not to capture Dadu, but to show off. If we want to see the good, we will not accept it and not to fight."
His tone was very calm, but Zhao Liangchun and Zhao Qian could hear the uneasy in his words. The confidence to win was already free. The two couldn't help but exclaim: "Since this is the case, please ask General Zheng to plan the situation. We are willing to listen to General Zheng's order."
"Your Majesty, I'm not talking about you, why do you always attach so much importance to the monk?" Duan Ganmu muttered dissatisfiedly, saying, "Master Mingxia is diligent in state affairs, running overseas, making a lot of contributions to the court, earning a lot of money, and treating him well. But what's the big deal about this monk? Isn't it just an old monk in Dali? Is it necessary to summon the emperor himself and send someone to the outside world to do some treatment."
Li Jun smiled and said, "Ganmu, this is a state affairs, don't say much. I have my own opinions on everything, and it's not the turn to talk about the shortcoming."
Duan Ganmu could hear that Li Jun said this very seriously on the surface, but in fact he did not mean to blame himself. He quickly argued: "Emperor, no, no, I am not arguing about state affairs, I really don't understand why the emperor is so good to monks? Zhang Jue and the others are really good at giving it to you, but they just want to send a bald donkey."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that I want to be nice to him, but that this monk is extraordinary and he has a great background." Li Jun explained to Duan Ganmu with a smile.
Duan Ganmu was curious and asked, "Prince, what is his origin? Is he three-headed and six-armed?"
"Look at what you said, there are no three-headed and six-armed people in the world?" Li Jun smiled and rejected his answer, and said, "You will know later." As soon as he finished speaking, an old and weak bald monk walked in under the guidance of the guards.
"I have seen the emperor with a lamp." The old monk saluted Li Jun, his voice kind and gentle, which made people feel a sense of seeing through the worldly love. This kind of understanding of the worldly love is not because he has great wisdom, but because he has a lot of helplessness, which is why he forces him to understand the worldly love.
Li Jun looked at the old monk for a while and said, "Master, please give up the courtesy. The master jumped out of the three realms and was not in the five elements, so there was no need to restrict these common etiquettes. Come on, show the master the seat."
Duan Ganmu brought a chair to the old monk with a dark face. The old monk saluted and sat down. Duan Ganmu's words to Li Jun aroused curiosity and kept looking at the old monk, thinking that the old monk was so great that he was almost ruined and was about to get into the soil. What else could he have? It was impossible to have a background, but it was true that he had a great success. He could get into the soil.
However, Duan Ganmu was shocked after hearing Li Jun's next words, and then he understood why Li Jun was so courteous to the old monk. Li Jun said: "The master was the lord of Dali. Although the Dali Kingdom was defeated, Dali subjects were still there. As long as the master was willing, he could still work hard. Why did the master see through the world and become a monk?" What he thought to himself was: "In his martial arts novel, Jin Daxia ported Duan Xingzhi, the king of the fallen country in Dali, into a top master. The Buddha's name Yideng Master is really foresighted. The Dali king I met in this world actually fulfilled his prophecy. He really became a monk and also took the Buddha's name with a lamp. It was really unexpected. If Jin Daxia port knew about it, what would he think?"
This old monk was no other person, Duan Xingzhi, the king of the fallen country in Dali. Twenty years ago, when Kublai Khan went to Dali, he performed well at the beginning, refused to surrender and prepared to fight. However, Dali's national strength was too weak after all, and he was not an opponent of the Mongols. He was soon defeated by Kublai Khan. He also surrendered to the Mongols and led 20,000 Dali troops as the leader, defeating or surrendering the Dali troops that were still resisting, allowing the Mongols to quickly control Dali.
Afterwards, the Mongolians rewarded him with the help of him to Dadu, and his fate was destined to be a prisoner. What surprised him was that Gao Xiang designed to rescue him so that he could survive until now.
Things in the world are unpredictable. What else can a king who has lost his country have to say? After several drastic changes, his ambition was finally wiped out and he became a monk to spend the rest of his life.
As the name suggests, the Buddha's name is the ancient Buddha of green lamps. The lonely lamp only accompanied the Buddha in front of the Buddha, which is very desolate. However, in the writing of Jin Daxia, the master of the world has few rivals and how heroic it is to save the world. This lamp is lingering and has no heroic spirit. The difference between the two is so big! Li Jun cannot express the feeling of "this lamp is not a lamp".
"The emperor asked, I dare not stop talking." After finishing his opening remark, Master Yideng said, "What the emperor said is not without reason. However, the country of Dali was destroyed and many people were still resisting. I did not stand with the people for a moment and did some great unjust things. I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, ashamed of the people, and had no intention of dominating the king and domineering the king and the grandparents, and just wanted to live the rest of my life."
He surrendered to the Mongolians, his hands were covered with blood from the people of Dali, which greatly reduced his status in the minds of the people of Dali. It was no longer possible for him to resist.
There is nothing wrong with this on the surface, but it is actually a typical non-resistance. Li Jun heard it and was very reluctant to agree in his heart. He thought to himself: "If you don't say anything else, you will know that you are a person with a weak mind and a weak mind. If you don't have a strong mind, you will not be able to be a king. If you don't lose your country, there will be no law of nature." But he comforted him and said: "The Buddha is originally without boundaries. The master is a wonderful understanding of Buddhism and converting to Buddha. It is really a congratulatory thing. I also ask the master to work hard to promote Buddhism and save the world."
Li Jun is an unsectarian who does not believe in Buddhism and does not worship Lao Tzu. He does not believe in the saying that Buddhism can truly save people. Such words are just polite words to comfort Duan Xingzhi.
Duan Xingzhi was the king and said that it was unclear. The powerful ministers were in charge of the court, and they were in power behind the enemy. After becoming a monk, they lived in seclusion in the mountains. They could be said to have a long life. The ruthless life had defeated his last little confidence, and he said, "I dare not have the idea of saving the world after the disaster. I have nothing to ask for. I only hope that the emperor would like to reward me with a pure land for the sake of being the king."
This is very harsh to the point of saying it. A dignified king of a country must die vigorously even if he dies, so he deserves the old saying, "If you are a hero in life, you will be a hero in ghosts." Only a person like him can say it out loud. If he changes someone else, he will not say it even if he dies.
"A good king, observe his actions, and be strong; observe his words, and be loud and powerful; examine his ministers, and are mostly committed to the work! You are so decadent and afraid of death. Dali State has a king like you, which is really a starvation, and the people are killed by war and innocently. However, this is good, I have saved a lot of hands and feet, so that no one will ask for restoration of the country under your banner, which will hinder the great cause of national unification." Li Jun complained to Duan Xingzhi in his heart, saying, "The master is devoted to the Buddha and is eager for Buddhist affairs. How can I not achieve the truth? Qixia Temple hosts Master Mingxia has been running away for many years and has no time to take charge of the affairs of the temple. If there is a master, you will go to Qixia Temple to be the presidency."
Duan Xingzhi's performance is indeed speechless. Li Jun looked down on him at all, so he used the word "正" that he rarely used.
"I have no extravagant hopes for Qixia. Since it is given by the emperor, I dare not accept it." Duan Xingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him happily, and said, "Thank you, the emperor."
In this case, he should say "Thank you" first, and then say the following words. He turned it around, not because he didn't care about the gift, but because he cared very much, and when he was happy, he turned it upside down.
"Besides you have no idea of being a king, you should also add the four-word comments about greed for life and fear of death. But it's good that you spend the rest of your life in Qixia Temple peacefully, and you won't cause trouble, so as not to give you a knife and kill you when you get it." Li Jun commented on Duan Xingzhi in his heart and asked, "What should the master think the court should deal with Dali?"
Duan Xingzhi's original joy was gone when he heard this, and he almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly said: "Dali was originally a land of China. The court should be recaptured by the court. Duan was originally a citizen of China. Although he had been in charge of Dali for a hundred years, he had no great contributions to the people of Dali. He was really ashamed and dared not steal magical tools."
Li Jun asked him that he wanted to hear his opinions. After all, he was the king of Dali, and his understanding of Dali was not comparable to that of ordinary people, especially those secret matters of Dali may no one knows more than him. Unexpectedly, he understood Li Jun as exploring his words, testing whether he had any unfaithful intentions and plans to restore the country, and immediately cleared them.
Duan Xingzhi's performance was so disappointing. In order to protect himself, he actually paid all his ancestors and wiped out all his achievements. It was really unexpected. If Li Jun had not heard it with his own ears, he would not believe that it was true. Duan's family had been governing Dali for a hundred years, and had no contribution and hard work, how could he have to erase it in one word?
"Adou of the Three Kingdoms reappears today! The imperial army gathers in Dali. Even if you want to restore the country, you have no way to do it. If you really want to restore the country, you will be incredible and have to kill you. It is not that I am easy to kill, but just defending the country's territorial integrity is the duty of every Chinese citizen. I will never tolerate the act of splitting the country and have to be polite to the separatists." Li Jun gave his low evaluation of his performance in his heart and said with a smile: "Master has been worried too much. The master has been the ruler of Dali and knows many secrets of Dali. If you can get the advice of the master, it will be of no use to the imperial court to govern Dali. Please tell me everything you know and say everything."
Duan Xingzhi hesitated for a moment, and reached into his arms with his right hand trembling. After a long time, he pulled out of his arms. He held a scroll in his hand and presented it with both hands, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a treasure of gold and silver collected by the first lords of Dali. It is hidden in a secret place in Dali. Please send someone to excavate for military purposes."
"No wonder you are so hesitant and so reluctant to let go. It turns out that you are still a greedy person." Li Jun added another shortcoming to Duan Xingzhi in his heart and said: "Since it is a collection of the first lords of Dali Kingdom in history, it belongs to the master. The court should not interfere in this matter. Master should take it back."
The Southern Song Dynasty now needs money very much. Psychologically, Li Jun really wanted to snatch it up and immediately sent someone to discover the treasure. However, as an emperor, he must not be greedy for money, nor can he do such a thing. At least he had to show his grandeur and refused.
Li Jun said the truth, but Duan Xingzhi heard it, but was shocked in his heart. He thought that Li Jun would not accept his courtesy to him, so he hurriedly explained: "Emperor, the first lords of Dali, considering that Dali is small and located in the border area and have weak national strength, they saved this gold, silver and jewelry to prepare for emergencies. The emperor took it from the people and used it for the people. These treasures were originally from the people, and it was the best way to use it for the people. I also asked the emperor to accept it." There was also an untrue and sincere look on his face.
Li Jun suddenly realized and said, "Is it true that the treasures hidden by the first lords of Dali in history have been leaked, and Gao Xiang designed to save you?"
"The emperor is wise!" Duan Xingzhi said bluntly: "Gao Xiang's idea of focusing on this treasure is that Nu Na knew his evil plot and never told him."
