Chapter 614: Father of the Two Dynasties
Zhao Ji was wrong, Wang Ju only knew that the Liao State sent envoys to blackmail this time, and he couldn't even figure out where Changliancheng and Liufanling were. However, this time Zhao Ji was "empathetic" and sent someone to send a detailed map.
Wang Ju also wondered, what a watershed.
If the current boundary line is followed, there is only the watershed between Fenshui and the Gray River, and if that is the case, the boundary line should not be moved.
But it can't be.
Then he continued to look at the map, and he still lost it to this map, otherwise he would not have figured it out. Then he looked east and suddenly gasped.
I see!
It was not the watershed between the Fenshui and the Gray River, but the watershed between the Gray Water and the Hutuo River in the Liao Kingdom - Huangwei Mountain.
It's too ruthless.
The famous Yanmen Pass is known to everyone, Daizhou is Yanmen County, and Yanmen Pass is twenty miles north of Daizhou. There is also a section of the ancient Great Wall here, which extends to the Tuyuan Village in the northwest, which is the place where Zhang Qixian became famous in the first battle. Then the ancient Great Wall continued to extend to the northwest, but it belonged to the territory of the Liao State, and it was not up to the west along this line, and there were some lofty mountains and mountains, and the Song Dynasty barely built some military fortifications.
However, if Huangwei Mountain is used as the boundary line, it is equivalent to digging out a territory of dozens of miles to the south from under the earthen village to the Liao State.
This bit of land doesn't matter to either country. But its geographical location is too important, and this digging is undoubtedly equal to the section of Hengshan that Wang Ju captured in Gyeongju. If Song and Liao were to fight each other, the originally dense defense line on Hedong Road would immediately reveal flaws. Even the Liao army did not need to attack Yanmen Pass or Tuyuan Village head-on, and could use Bingdai Prefecture from Huangwei Mountain to Laoxian County.
About this digging too hard, so the two Liao envoys were divided. I'm embarrassed to speak.
But Wang Ju has been away from the north for a long time. Not very well informed in all respects.
Although the Liao State is now degrading very quickly. Immediately the country was almost inferior to Western Xia.
But the Song Dynasty was also not good in Hebei and Hedong.
At present, the strongest army is the Western Army, that is, the army composed of Shaanxi Baojie, Yuanbian archers and the Fan army, although it is strong, but it is far less than the Tang Army in its heyday, and it can still be used in Shaanxi, but out of Shaanxi, to Hedong, Hebei, the combat effectiveness will immediately decline. So later the Jin people came south. It's overwhelming. That is, if the Liao State really started, the Song Dynasty may not be able to please it. The worst thing is that now that the catastrophe is coming, the two countries are at war, and the probability of defeat for the Song army is far greater than the possibility of victory.
The main thing is a catastrophe.
Therefore, Wang Ju is not easy to say that if the Song Dynasty is tough, the Liao State will not make a move.
Of course, after the disaster has passed, there is no need to be afraid of the Liao State, and they will be consumed to death. But isn't it a disaster that hasn't been over?
After figuring out what happened, Wang Ju replied to a recital, saying that the minister had been away from Shaanxi for a long time, not to mention Hedong. It's Shaanxi, and now the minister doesn't know much. If you don't know, the minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Your Majesty, you can do it yourself.
Huang Gonggong hurried back with this short recital.
Zhao Wei was also asking other people on the other side, first Cai Ting, but Cai Ting replied that it was not a matter to prevent it like this.
Look at the defeat of Western Xia, the Liao State came to intervene. The catastrophe came, and the extortion was made. However, every once in a while, there will be disasters, just like what Wang Ju speculated in his book about the El Niño and La Niña phenomenon, not only in the Song Dynasty, but also on those super islands overseas, there were also some bad weather, where there was no Wang Anshi change.
However, the Liao State always came to blackmail, and the appetite became bigger and bigger in the future.
Therefore, the best way is to further implement the art of war, as well as Wang Jutiyì's additional border army, and deliberately put a part of the forbidden soldiers on the Xihe side of the training to strengthen the Hedong Road and the Hebei Road, which is fundamental.
Cai Ting has a point, but how to solve the problem now?
So Zhao Ji issued another edict and consulted Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang, Wen Yanbo and Han Qi.
These important ministers were very famous in the Qingli period, including the blackmail in the Qingli period, and these people were also involved, so I asked them to see if there were any good ideas and opinions.
First of all, Fu Bi wrote a book, saying that in the past five or six years, the imperial court planned to use troops in Suizhou, Luowucheng, Xihe, Chen, Jin, Rong, Lu, and Jiaozhi. However, it was rumored that His Majesty would return to Lingxia and Pinghelan, and he also planned to conquer Pingyan in person, so he finished repairing the armor, concisely trained the army, increased the city barriers, accumulated grain, and sent envoys to invite Goryeo. Then he placed thirty-seven generals in Hebei, and the more urgent he was, the longer the noise grew. Therefore, it is I who provoke the front, not the Khitan betrayal of the alliance. Therefore, it is necessary to send an envoy to explain the ins and outs of this clearly, and the Khitan is not unreasonable. Otherwise, the Liao State would have the help of the Xia State, the Gang Luo, the Goryeo, the Heishui Jurchen, and the Tatars, and the side affairs would be endless.
The old rich man is old, and he remembers Dong Yu as a wolf.
But the meaning is similar to Zhao Ji's thoughts, it is best not to turn around with the Liao State, after all, it is the current difficult moment of the catastrophe.
It's just that he was scared about Qinglong, and he still insisted on valuing harmony, which made Zhao Ji very displeased, and said: "Rich and weak." ”
Wen Yanbo said that the imperial court should be full of food and soldiers, strengthen the castle, protect the people, win by war, and stick to the code, and that's it. Most of the Chinese soldiers are mainly benefited, the main thing is to treat the guests, and to work hard at ease, and they will win. However, I heard that His Majesty wanted to strike first, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and attack the swallow thistle, but if there is an accident, Wang Shi is afraid that he will be devoured. Moreover, there is a great hunger in Heshuo, and if the soldiers are not able to understand and the material resources are lost, there will be a risk that the golden soup will not be defended.
Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "I know it." ”
In fact, Zhao Ji was humiliated by this, but he said that I should personally lead the army and sweep away the swallow thistle, so as to be ashamed of the snow.
That's just angry words, can you take it seriously? But I didn't know that Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi quickly learned that these two people were in the Daimyo's Mansion and the other was in Luoyang, how did they know?
Zhao Ji couldn't even think about it.
Zeng Gongliang said that Hu Lu did not take the oath and could not believe what they said. Just like the Western Xia, the Hemeng did not have many years to invade the border of the Linlu Road, and the entire army of Guo En was annihilated. Then when I went to Tongjia Fort, I didn't accept it, and thousands of people in the whole fort were slaughtered. Then attack Dashun City. Li Liangzuo was seriously injured and died. This was followed by an attack on Gyeongju. Defeated. After almost wanting the country to be destroyed, he became honest. So the Liao State was similar to the Western Xia. But now Hebei Hedong has not used soldiers for a long time, and there are no good generals and good commanders. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a general and entrust one side to prevent accidents.
He thinks about the same as Cai Ting.
However, to go deeper, don't learn from the previous years, it is clear that Wang Ju has made great contributions in Gyeongju, and in turn he is afraid of his merits. A famous handsome, but where did he go in Quanzhou to make money. Does the country lack these little money, and can it be used in this way?
But these are all in the future, how to solve it now, no one said.
So Zhao Ji waited for Han Qi's book.
Soon Han Qi came to the letter, and the ministers used the Khitan to claim that the north was strong and the Chinese resistant, covering it for more than 170 years. Since the stone and Jin cut the land, and there is Han Xinjiang, and the outside of the Rong, the benefit of arrogance. In the ancestral dynasty, he often pasted in the south, and was extremely violent. When the time comes, do you not want to know that the power of the world will be with the other? Cherish the living soul for the rest of your life. Qu is reconciled, where the territory has something to do, and the emperor is deeply provoked. For seventy years, the people on both sides of the country have lived and worked in peace, and as for old age and death, they do not know about the military revolution and battle, and the greatest benevolence cannot be added. In recent years, the court has taken action, but it seems that they do not take the enemy as compassion. The enemy has always been strong for a long time, and I have not tasted less, once I see the form and become suspicious, it must be said that I have the intention of recovering Yannan, although I heard that the master is a Buddha, is there no strong Liang clan and the husband and the ministers and strategists to lead the preemptive theory, to create this provocation? Therefore, he has repeatedly sent envoys, in the name of arguing for the boundaries of the land, to see how I should hear it. Therefore, those who doubt it will try to state their general plan.
Zhao Ji was in good spirits, or Lao Han said it well, so let's see what he has.
Goryeo surrendered to the Khitan and did not pay tribute to me for a long time, but the imperial court sent people from Zhejiang Road to summon it, Goryeo is a small state, whether to come or not, there is no help to the country, the Khitan knows, must think that I am trying to do it. Therefore, you can't deal with Goryeo, so as not to make the Khitan suspicious.
Zhao Ji said that he was very wronged, Goryeo sent an envoy, but when did I send an edict?
It's a reminder, what's the matter, is it that the big Song Dynasty is not even as good as a grandson.
Holding back his anger and continuing to look down.
In the west of the ancient Wei village, the Tubo people are scattered in the mountains and wilderness, not growing together, farming and herding are self-sufficient, and they have not tasted the border troubles. However, the imperial court forcibly took Xihe all the way and killed tens of thousands of people, which cost a lot of money. And Hezhou is Dong Yu's territory, and Dong Yu is the son-in-law of the Khitan. Didn't Dong Yu send someone to complain to the Liao State, and after the Liao State heard about it, wouldn't he be suspicious of our dynasty?
This is really.
Again, Hebei is flat, and the strength of the Liao State is cavalry. In order to deal with the Liao cavalry, the Song Dynasty planted elm willows in the western mountains, hoping to use this green Great Wall to deal with the threat of the Liao state. The Song Dynasty did this, can the Khitan be happy?
Zhao Ji was simply hit by the rolling thunder, this is not right, so how to do it? Or will all these elms and willows be cut down, the forts will be destroyed together, and the gate will be opened, so that the Liao cavalry can go south unhindered at any time, and the Liao country will be happy? That's really happy!!
Hebei implemented the armor protection law, and heard that it was necessary to place a regular border army, so the Liao State became even more suspicious of such a fight, killing and killing......
The Liao State came to blackmail, and the Song Dynasty immediately sent officials to review, build fortresses, and open trenches, which were all seen by everyone, and the enemy had not yet moved, but I had already spent money and efforts, first to embarrass myself, and then to make the Khitan suspicious.
There are 37 generals in Hebei, and the generals are good at power, which makes the Khitan suspicious.
Therefore, none of these can be done, so we should start from the inside and abolish Wang Anshi's changes together. As long as this is done, the people will be excited. If the Khitan still dares to come, then they will inevitably be beaten back to the desert, and then they will be mighty, restore the old frontier, and be loyal to the injustice of the heart, the anger of the Xue ancestors, and the merits of His Majesty will be impressive, like the sun shining endlessly.
Is this what people say?
Zhao Ji was so angry that he wanted to throw this piece outside the main hall.
In fact, Han Qi's previous deeds can still be forgiven, mixed with officialdom, can the wind be light and light, without a trace of dust? If you want to be on top, you must intrigue with each other, but you can't catch up with the country.
Therefore, a few months later, Han Qi died, and Zhao Ji was very "sad" to send soldiers to build a grave for him, and then personally wrote an inscription, titled "The Monument of the Fathers of the Two Dynasties".
No, Han Qi is accurately an old minister of the Three Dynasties and the prime minister of the Three Dynasties, how can there be one less dynasty.
In such a small dynasty, if it is the Yingzong Shenzong Dynasty, then it is undoubtedly to say that Han Qi is sorry for Song Renzong, and you have no face to see Song Renzong underground.
If it is the Renzong Yingzong Dynasty, it is undoubtedly said that Han Qi is a traitor of the Zhao Dynasty, and when he ascended the throne, he almost forced Zhao Ji to step down, and before he died, he also wrote a demagogic strategy that could make the country perish!
Sure what kind of strategy Han Qi has, what kind of strategy can't be used.
So Zhao Ji had to wait for Wang Ju's performance.
Huang Gonggong returned to the capital with Wang Ju's recital.
Zhao Ji hurriedly opened it to see, and then was stunned. At least Fu Bi and they are perfunctory, but Wang Ju is very good, he doesn't even bother to be perfunctory, and directly says that I don't know the situation in Hedong, Hebei, so don't ask me.
Actually, Wang Ju really doesn't understand.
The Khitan made it clear that they wanted to take Huangwei Mountain as a new frontier, did Wang Ju dare to say it? What happens if you refuse? Most of the time he will not invade, but if he is in the court, even in Gyeongju, he can pass all kinds of signs, and combined with some of his historical memories, he can be screened. But others are in Quanzhou and don't know the whole of the north, how can they dare to assert it? What if the Khitan became angry and invaded after refusing?
However, Zhao Ji obviously didn't believe it, and said with a wry smile: "If you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grass......"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I also have a hard time......," Zhao Ji smiled bitterly again. Even if Wang Ju is promoted, there must be a reason for promotion, but after the victory in Gyeongju, because of the age limit, he can't be promoted too high. Then Wang Ju resigned, and in order to appease, Zhao Ji was given a very high official position. Wang Ju resigned. But if you don't give up, does Wang Ju dare to accept it, then it really becomes a coercion of the emperor. A few months ago, the maritime merchants donated more than 3 million stone of grain for disaster relief, which was also an opportunity for promotion, but because of the controversy caused by the migratory people, it was inconvenient for Zhao Ji to be promoted.
Zhao Ji really thought wrong, Wang Ju didn't care too much about this official position. What can you do if you are high, and you will be jealous. As long as you don't interfere with him in doing things, then you will be satisfied. But who would believe it?
Huang Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, the slave has a good plan. (To be continued......)
