Chapter 578: Peace
Wang Anshi sighed and said: "Your Majesty, it's a pity, if the financial resources are sufficient, the regret of Taizong and Zhenzong, and the shame of Renzong will be eliminated." â
Is it still strange to change the law?
If the law is not changed, this situation will occur one after another in the future, and even if it is not because of the change of the law, there is no financial support, and even this great victory will not be expected.
Now Wang Anshi has just woken up slightly, it turns out that this big victory also has a lot of benefits for changing the law.
This is like another time and space, in order to beautify Wang Anshi, some experts say that Wang Shaohe's opening is Wang Anshi's credit. There is a little credit to Wang Anshi, but the main credit is whether Wang Shao is good or not? Even because of Wang Anshi, Wang Shao was very sad and depressed in the next few years, which aggravated the onset of the injury, and finally died of depression.
Therefore, it is accurate to say that Wang Anshi's change of law is not wrong, and changing the law is the only way out now, and the Song Dynasty is a dead end.
But the significance of Wang Anshi's change cannot be exaggerated, this change is not perfect, and it does produce many new drawbacks, it is indeed accumulating money, and like Zhao Ji, he did not make good use of real talents.
And Wang Anshi is both tall and stubborn.
Sima Guang said that he was cowardly, but he did not belittle him too much.
Because of Qinggao, please rest assured, Wang Anshi only said this, and he will not take advantage of this great victory to defend the law.
Guo Kui was thinking.
Is that really the case?
He was a little unconvinced, of course, the finances were sufficient, and the results of this great victory would be expanded, such as sending some soldiers from the rear to support, then Yanzhou would not only be Tumen, but even pick up the defense line of Luowucheng that was planted last year, and open up Linzhou and Suizhou. It is also possible to directly threaten the silver state.
It is also possible to go west with a large army. The line of shrimp and toad village, Qinggang Gorge, Qingbian Army, Zheqiang Society, and Xiangyikou was all taken. At the very least, Cai Ting can occupy Xiao Chuan south of Xiao Pass.
Of course, that would require more troops, more supplies and money.
However, if it is realized, not only Yanzhou, but also Weizhou, Tiandu Mountain and Yinzhou in Western Xia can face the attack of the Song army at any time.
But as for the destruction of Western Xia. Guo Kui really doesn't believe it, is it really so easy to destroy Western Xia? Occupying Yanzhou, Guo Kui also didn't believe it, the example of Zhuozhou is not easy to compare, but there is an example that can be compared, that is, Yizhou, because it is in the north of Yishui, it hangs alone in Hebei, so it had to be lost when Taizong of the Song Dynasty.
Another example, Toyosu. Wang Chengmei and his wife were very powerful, but they died. It was immediately broken by Li Yuanhao.
However, this is all the ministers tearing up, of course, although Wang Ju is also tearing, he is tearing for the country, so emotionally Guo Kui is on Wang Ju's side.
But Guo Kui also guessed wrong, Wang Ju is not only tearing for the country, but also fighting for them, the generals and the soldiers of the three armies.
However, no matter what reason, Guo Kui will never break it.
Wen Yanbo snorted coldly and said no more.
Lao Wen is very shrewd, and there is a reason why he has served as the prime minister of Xifu for so many years.
Because of Han Qi's forced driving in those months, Zhao Ji has always been uneasy about the ministers, and he is not very at ease with Wang Anshi, so he needs to have a different opinion in the court. This is not as later generations think, Zhao Ji's incomparable trust in Wang Anshi.
Only Zhu Xi was right in one sentence, Zhao Ji finished learning Wang Anshi's technique, Lao Wang, you are better. Lao Wang, Lao Wen is also better.
There is another reason, although Lao Wen has been secretly making small moves, but it is enough to stop, and when he sees something wrong, he immediately closes his mouth and doesn't say anything. Therefore, Zhao Ji tolerated that he had been staying in the Xifu phase.
Zhao Ji also sighed, where is the money.
So Wang Ju made a mistake, which made Zhao Ju pay more attention to money.
Of course, Zhao Ji's dream of a strong country can't be said to be wrong, Wang Ju has made a conjecture, if the Song Dynasty messes with Western Xia and Hehuang before the rise of Wanyan Aguta, what will happen?
There is no doubt that the Song Dynasty will shift all its focus to the north, and the relationship between the Song and Liao countries will become very tense, and the Song Dynasty will build more forts on the front line. The first line of defense came out. Later, even if they couldn't recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom did not want to go south. Moreover, after obtaining the wealth of the Liao State, the Jurchens will fall very quickly, how can the Northern Song Dynasty perish?
If you get the sixteen states of Yanyun, the significance is even more extraordinary, with the financial resources of the Song Dynasty, it is enough to build a new Great Wall, plus the construction of layers of forts in the Yanyun area, not to mention the Jin State, even if Genghis Khan came, I dare not say that the Song Dynasty will be forced to the south of the Yangtze River and then destroyed.
However, this dream of a strong country is not something that can be strengthened with money.
Just like the five-way war in history, without Gao Zunyu, even if Shun LĂŹ takes Lingzhou, can he destroy Western Xia? There are also the cities of Xingqing Mansion in Hexi, Dingzhou, Shunzhou, Huaizhou, Jingzhou...... Attack slowly. But what weather was it then? Winter is coming. Besides, the Liao State tacitly watched the destruction of Western Xia?
Of course, if there is no Gao Zunyu, one is forced to retreat, and the other is defeated, and the nature is the same.
Therefore, in addition to finance, there is a more important issue, and that is the system.
The Song Dynasty produced many famous generals, but look at what famous generals are, Zhang Kang, Jinshi, Wang Shao, Jinshi, Zhang Qi, Jinshi, Zhang Jun, Jinshi, Yu Yunwen, Jinshi, Zhao Fang, Jinshi, it is really a dynasty of Confucian generals. There are more fierce ones behind, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Wu Jue, Wu Luan brothers, Bi Zaiyu, Wang Jian, Zhang Yu, Meng Zongzheng, Meng Gong father and son, Hu Zaixing, Du Gao, all of which are in danger to the country, so they have been reused. And these people have a great characteristic, when most of them are famous, they learn from Han Shizhong one by one, and ask for retirement by themselves, in order to protect themselves, so as not to end up like Yue Fei.
Therefore, it is not that the Song Dynasty did not have generals, but that under this strange system, these generals could not give full play to their talents. As for the relatively peaceful period, the military generals had no chance, so they could only use Wenchen, which caused so many Confucian generals......
Now happens to be this relative "era of peace".
During this period, how can military generals ascend to power. Just like Liu Changzuo, can he give full play to his talents?
Most of them are what Wang Ju says, and he does it. I don't dare to doubt it. I dare not imagine. So how much upside can there be in the future? Even if he becomes a famous general in the future, he does not want to become a general of Meng Hui's level.
There is also Jiaozhi in the south, Zhang Kai gave three examples very well, and then proved that if Jiaozhi has no tricky intentions, it is better to appease if it can be appeased, and it is not counted to send troops to exterminate it. If the soldiers are used less, they can't conquer it, and they can't hope that there will be another record of Li Jing and Ma Yuan Pingnan, in the Song Dynasty under such circumstances. It is also impossible for Ma Yuan and Li Jing to appear, there is no room for growth and play. If you send a lot of troops, it's not worth it.
So the right way doesn't work, Wang Ju is thinking about the "crooked door".
But who would dare to touch this system? Wang Ju didn't dare to touch it, it would be more troublesome than "Qi tax", it would be...... Enemies of all the scholars!
Moreover, this system is not useless, it at least ensures that the military generals will not usurp the country, as a human monarch, how will they choose?
As a human monarch, Zhao Ji didn't think about it so much. Only now he is very happy.
Many times, as Wang Ju said. It's not that you are the emperor and you can do whatever you want.
For example, on side matters, his idea was opposed by almost eighty percent of the scholars. Is it possible to demote so many scholars and doctors together?
Wang Ju's record came at the right time.
Everyone retreated one after another and returned to Xifu, Wen Yanbo said to Feng Jing: "In the world, it is a good thing to win a great victory on the front line, but I am afraid that the official family will study the early years of Taizong from now on, and the country will be in danger." â
"Yes, Gong Wen should be the best imitation of Zhao Pu." Feng Jing said.
It's still good to win, just accept it when you see it, this is Feng Jing's idea.
"There's this record, it's hard to say."
Wang Ju's record is very clear, Yanzhou will not let you go to the capital of our Great Song Dynasty, but I will let go, to the capital, naturally there are many peace-loving scholars and doctors to say good things for you, then the peace negotiation will be successful, why do you want to do this, the peace negotiation is successful, your Empress Dowager Liang's status will be stable, and she will dethrone the army in the future and lead your Western Xia to the road of destruction.
Maybe even when you get to the capital, there will be some scholars who will say good things for you in Western Xia, and agree to exchange Tumen for Suizhou plus this section of Hengshan.
It seems that the original letter of state did not have this request in Western Xia, but after hearing what Wang Ju said, Wei Ming Kerong and Lu Ning tampered with the letter of state and made this request.
Although no one really agreed to this request, he led Yang Hui, Sun Gu and other important ministers, but proposed to exchange Hengshan for Tumen.
slapped in the face, and was beaten in pain by this kid.
In this case, can you be wordy? Do you want the emperor to remove his privy envoy from his official position?
"In the world, if the peace negotiation is successful, will the Liang family plunder our dynasty in the future?"
"Duke Wen, it's hard to guess."
"Zhongtong, you come."
"As long as I survive these two years, I will come to plunder."
"What if Suizhou and Hengshan are returned?"
"Duke Wen, even if it is returned, it can move many people in Western Xia in the past few years, but after a few years, it will come to plunder." Guo Kui replied honestly.
On this article, he agrees with Zhao Ji's opinion, don't talk about peace, even if you send one million a year to Western Xia, you can't buy peace. There is only one road, whoever has the big fist will occupy the most, occupy Suizhou, and the Western Xia has repeatedly sent troops, all of which have been defeated, so Suizhou still belongs to the Song Dynasty. did not hide the false occupation of the west of the Quye River, and Guo En's troops were defeated, so the west of the Quye River was the Western Xia.
There are no other roads to choose from.
But Wen Yanbo has always wanted peace, so what does he say?
"Isn't there any other way, the war will not stop, and the lives will be ruined......" Wen Yanbo suddenly couldn't go on.
There are also records that Xiao Huang's father-in-law said that everyone is against the war for the sake of the people. Wang Ju sneered, if you really think about the people, look at how much income these scholars earn every year, how much wealth they have in their families, but how much do they take out to help the poor and widows and give relief to the victims? Hardly! Wen Yanbo didn't either, and if he had, his family wouldn't be lending usury. Han Qi didn't have it either, otherwise his family wouldn't have so much arable land.
So don't use this livelihood to talk about things.
Guo Kui felt very funny, what kind of livelihood is the people, but he is afraid that the status of the military general will be consolidated again. And that's not all...... But that's also part of the reason.
"Sima Guang is right, the big king collects wealth, the little king prospers, with these two kings, the country will never be peaceful."
Guo Kui is unhappy in his heart, what little Wang Xingbian, does Wang Ju want to fight? That's called giving orders in danger, and the victory is like this, but the three armies were brought to Yanzhou to grab salt, and then there were no more soldiers. This is also called Xiao Wang Xingbian?
It seems that this Duke Wen is far inferior to Duke Han.
But he didn't know that Han Qi was not the same Han Qi as before.
This record made Wen Yanbo uncomfortable......
He walked around, and finally said rudely: "However, no matter what, from Luowucheng last year to Gyeongju this year, the people of Shaanxi have lived a dark and miserable life. Therefore, the war must be stopped, and there must be no surprises. â
Dare to love Wen Yanbo is even more anxious than Liang...... But Guo Kui can really understand that for the sake of this so-called peace, in the face of the powerful Han Qi, Wen Yanbo asked for the return of Suizhou five times and three times, and once almost drove Han Qi crazy in Chang'an. (To be continued......)
