"It's not like we, Xixia, have never fought against the Song army. We have fought for decades, and we have never seen the Song Dynasty destroy our Xixia. If the Song army comes, he will never come back!" shouted a party noble. . "Our dynasty has occupied thousands of miles of land in the Song Dynasty. If we want to negotiate peace, unless we spit out those thousands of miles of land, everything will be in vain!" Another Han minister said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. It's bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, and the Jurchens are outside the Great Wall." Like a fish in water, if the Song army goes to Liaodong, it will definitely defeat the Jin Dynasty, but if it wants to destroy the Jin Dynasty, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to move to Xixia! However, even so, our court cannot be underestimated!" said a conservative minister. The ministers present expressed their opinions one after another, but did not take the threat of the Song Dynasty to heart. The Song Dynasty defeated the Jin Army. The Jin Army retreated beyond the Great Wall and recovered the entire north. However, the Song Dynasty also suffered heavy losses and had to stop. After retreating beyond the Great Wall, the Jin Army objectively occupies a favorable situation. It is quite difficult to annihilate the Jin Army in Liaodong. The monarchs and ministers of Xixia did not think that the Song army would take action against Xixia. ¡¡¡¡ At this time, Luoyang was dilapidated, many palaces were incomplete, and there was no longer the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Walking on the streets of Luoyang, Zhao Pu felt full of vicissitudes of life, with a sense of twilight and sadness. Luoyang is no longer suitable to be the capital. Not only was the water transport cut off, but if you wanted to establish a capital, you would have to dredge the rivers again; the palace no longer existed and needed to be rebuilt; and the saddest thing was that the economy was in depression and there was no atmosphere like an imperial capital at all. So what if it¡¯s just not suitable, I can only make do! It¡¯s just like marrying a wife. It¡¯s rare to find someone who suits your needs, and it¡¯s more of a make-do. At this time, Dingdu can only make do! Fortunately, we followed the marching regulations along the way. There are no carriages and horses, and many etiquettes are omitted, which saves a lot of costs. Otherwise, a parade will cost a lot of money! "Your Majesty, envoys from the Jin Army have arrived in Luoyang and want to negotiate peace. They are willing to offer one hundred thousand taels of gold, two thousand mink skins, three hundred centenarian ginseng, and twenty beauties. They want to negotiate for peace!" "Xiliao also sent envoys, willing to remove the throne. , I respectfully call His Majesty the Khan of Heaven. I am willing to dedicate my daughter Yelu Supu to the Emperor to make a good relationship between Qin and Jin Dynasty!¡± Your Majesty is my elder brother!" At this moment, Shi Hao, the minister of Honglu Temple, was making a report. Envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, the Western Liao Dynasty, and the Great Jin Dynasty came one after another to discuss peace, alliance, or congratulations. The meaning contained in it is great, which means that the Three Kingdoms are bowing to the Song Dynasty. In the eyes of the ministers of the Song Dynasty, this was extremely glorious. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have been in a state of oppression, although we can deceive ourselves and others. You can use the spiritual victory method. As long as you have some self-respect and some humanity, you will feel humiliated and want to avenge your shame. "It's just that he was defeated again and again, and his spine was broken after he was given New Year's coins again and again. I can no longer lift my head. At this time, the Jin army was defeated and the whole world was shocked. The Song Dynasty was not only reviving the ZTE. It has reached its peak. The ministers of the Song Dynasty were all proud, but also extremely regretful. The emperor once said that civil servants should not do martial arts, and military officers should not do civil servants. This objectively excluded literati from the ranks of the military, which made the literati extremely embarrassed. "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Three Kingdoms are here. Do you want to see them or not?" Shi Hao asked. "No, why do you want to see them!" Zhao Pu shook his head, "You said a few nice words and gave some beautiful women gifts, but you just want to fool me. There is no such good thing in the world!" "Your Majesty, you won't do it again. Let's use weapons! The national debt has not been repaid; the national treasury is even more empty, and there is no money; and the wounded and killed soldiers also need to be compensated; the reconstruction of the north will also cost a lot of money, and our government will not be able to use troops for at least five years. "Can't mobilize troops within five years?" Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "In five years, we just can't mobilize more than 100,000 troops, and we can't fight a war for more than one year. We only need to control the army to less than 50,000 and maintain the war for half a year." Within the limit, our government can still afford it!¡± The government¡¯s finances are extremely tight, but there is still a bottom line. What's more important is that the establishment of the bank has led to a better financial situation. "Your Majesty, are you going to launch a large-scale military attack on the Kingdom of Jin?" Shi Hao said in surprise. Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "War is only launched when there is no choice. War is not for fame or to show the king's achievements. War is only for national security. War is only for the interests of the people. Only diplomacy cannot be obtained, and money cannot be obtained. That's why we resorted to war." Shi Hao nodded, seeming to understand, but also not understanding. Zhao Pu said: "Let them show off for a few days first!" "Then Your Majesty, how should I respond to these three countries?" Shi Hao said. Zhao Pu did not answer, but asked: "Qing family, why are there wars in the world?" "The facts are complicated, and there are always ambitious people who want to bring trouble to the world, so there are wars!" Shi Hao replied. Zhao Pu said with a smile: "There are only two countries in the world, one is a weak country and the other is a strong country. Regardless of whether it is a strong country or a weak country, if you want to survive and not be destroyed, you need to fight constantly and there will never be peace. . Don't think about stopping the war, don't think about Wen Tianwu Xi, a country has only two stages, one is the stage of preparing for war, the other is the stage of war. If the country is divided into two stages, one is without war. Period, one is a period of war, this country is not far away from destruction!" "I hope that the Song Dynasty will always stay in the stage of preparing for war, rather than staying away from the stage of war!" "Weichen understands!" "Without force, there will be danger, but with force, there will be destruction. To stop the war with war, the benevolent will be invincible!" Zhao Pu said, "To stop the war with war, it does not mean to use war to destroy the enemy and end the war; it means to seize the initiative in the war and always let the enemy Don't dare to start a war; if the enemy dares to start a war, he will be beaten to death! " "You can negotiate a peace, you can form an alliance, but you must completely disintegrate the enemy so that there is no chance of starting a war, instead of raising a tiger to make trouble. Give the enemy a chance to breathe. If you beat the dog to death, it will bite you!" Zhao Pu said, "Go and think about it!" "Wei Chen understands!" Shi Hao stood up and left, thinking about what the emperor said. Completely disintegrate the enemy and deny the opportunity to launch a war, rather than raising a tiger to cause trouble. Obviously, if you agree to send some tributes, marriages, honorary titles, etc., it will be like feeding a tiger into trouble, leaving the enemy a chance to breathe, waiting for the enemy to fatten up, and then counterattack to take a bite. Suddenly, Shi Hao somewhat understood the emperor's intention. Shi Hao was a little confused as to how to neutralize the enemy. It seems that apart from destroying the country, there is no other way to completely destroy the enemy, but the emperor is obviously not talking about war. Watching Shi Hao leave, Zhao Pu said in his heart: "I hope you understand my true meaning!" Among the courtiers present, Yu Yunwen was a military general who was in charge of military power and was responsible for military affairs. He could take charge of the military affairs alone; and in political affairs, Shi Hao also had unique features, many Good planning and judgment, if carefully cultivated, will also be a famous minister. Unfortunately, I am too young at the moment and some things are not clear. "The next best thing is to destroy the country and kill the heart. If you only know the way of war and don't understand the way of killing the heart, you will not last long!" Zhao Pu said with a smile. At this moment, the Song Dynasty's national power was at its peak. After a few years of cultivation, it could launch troops against the Western Liao, Xixia, and Jin Kingdoms. At that time, the army would be dispatched, and Mount Tai would crush the three countries, destroying these three countries without any problems. War is just a last resort. There is no other way. If there is a chance, he will not use troops. If the war is fought too many times, the eyes will be red and the hatred of the nation will be left; If the war is fought too many times, the enemy will be killed first, and then one's own people will be killed; When the war is launched, countless cities will be destroyed, villages will be burned, and the people will die and become a mass The scorched earth ended up spending a lot of money to rebuild, which was a money-losing business; it made no sense to start a war and occupy many areas, and then go out independently after decades. When eating, it¡¯s important to be full, but don¡¯t choke. There¡¯s nothing wrong with eating from the bowl, looking at the pot, and grabbing the basin. But if you pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, you¡¯ll suffer a bit.
