Zhao Pu wanted to push the Song Dynasty to its peak more than once. He wanted to destroy the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia to the north and develop the Northeast; he wanted to destroy Xixia and Western Liao to the west, seize the Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang, and expand his territory to the vicinity of the Caspian Sea; In the south, we need to fight hard against Jiaozhi and regain the territory that was independent in the Five Dynasties; while in the southeast, we need to build the Nanyang Protectorate and develop Australia, America and other regions. However, these were just Zhao Pu¡¯s lustful thoughts when he first became emperor. As he became emperor longer, these thoughts became more and more insignificant. In order to eliminate money, the state treasury was exhausted and almost bankrupted; if weapons were used everywhere, there would inevitably be fiscal deficits every year, public resentment boiled, uprisings everywhere, and the Song Dynasty might soon collapse. The Song Dynasty followed the path of Confucianism. Confucianism opposed war and aggression. If there was a "chiluo" naked invasion like in Europe, the Manchu Dynasty would definitely oppose it. It¡¯s okay to want to fight, but at least you have to have an excuse, even if the excuse is very lame and nonsense. And in a war, too many troops cannot be dispatched. Once more than 100,000 troops are dispatched and the war lasts for a year, it will inevitably bring financial pressure, and it will inevitably cause opposition from the court and complaints from the people. In this era, war is affected by the natural environment, climate conditions, and various objective factors. Throughout the Song Dynasty, there were many defeats in the fierce battles with Xixia; there were also defeats in the fierce battles with Jiaozhi; many of these defeats were due to the geographical environment and climate. In this war between Song and Jin, the Song Dynasty also suffered many defeats. Fortunately, these defeats were covered up by the Song Dynasty's victories and were not noticed by the world. In short, luck is very important in fighting in this era. There may be a plague, the mountains may be difficult to walk, the food and grass may not be transported, the soldiers may be war-weary, it may be just a trivial factor. So the battle was lost. These days, in addition to relying on strength, a lot of fighting depends on luck. If you have bad luck, failure in a war is inevitable. ¡°Once we lose a battle in the process of destroying Jin, Xixia, and Western Liao, the anti-war faction may gain the upper hand. Maybe it will end in nothing. In fact, during the Han and Tang Dynasties, many wars ended in nothingness and turned into half-baked meals. If you want to rely on war to solve the Jin, Xixia, and Xiliao countries, there are many risks. One mistake can lead to frustration. And even if shit luck breaks out and these countries are finally occupied, will they completely turn into Han lands? Zhao Pu shook his head and came up with a negative answer. War will destroy a country, but it is very difficult to occupy it for a long time and turn it into Han territory. One is not careful. It might collapse. Just like the Mongols of later generations, they occupied many areas in Europe and Asia, but with the decline of Mongolia, these areas gradually separated from Mongolia. It is important to eat enough, but it is wrong to overeat and suffer from indigestion! The Yuan Dynasty was a typical example of indigestion! I once thought about opening up a new continent. Launched colonial activities overseas, making Australia and America a part of the Song Dynasty. ¡°Just thinking about it, I still feel it¡¯s unreliable. These days, navigation technology is backward and sailing on the sea is very dangerous. Problems may occur three to five times out of ten sailings. navigation. It's more about exchanging lives for money. The Americas are too far away to be reached. Only Australia is more reliable. only. With the Song Army's Northern Expedition and the recapture of the north, they must focus on post-disaster reconstruction and strengthening northern border defense. As for the construction of the Nanyang Protectorate and the development of Australia, they have temporarily slowed down. In the north, with years of war, fewer people and more land, a large number of people will inevitably emerge from the south to the north, and the number of people immigrating to Southeast Asia and going to Australia will inevitably decrease. ¡°After all, one is my former homeland, and the other is indeed a place unknown to the barbarians. As long as my mind is not confused, I will choose the north instead of the dangerous barbarian land. Moreover, war will cause huge damage and turn fertile lands into ruins. Zhao Pu doesn't want to spend a lot of money to conquer a certain place, and then spend several times the money to rebuild it. This is not worth it, it is too costly. Zhao Pu had to change his strategy, focusing on cultural penetration, economic invasion, and military strikes as a supplement. He did not seek to expand the Song Dynasty's territory to the strongest, but only sought to expand the Song Dynasty's territory to the most suitable one. In some fertile places and key places, troops were stationed and occupation was the main focus; while in areas where the Song Dynasty's military power was difficult to reach and had less influence, economic invasion and economic control were the main focus; while in areas farther away, the main focus was economic invasion. , it mainly focuses on cultural penetration and cultural brainwashing. In this era, aggression is very simple. When talking about aggression, it mainly refers to military aggression. But in later generations, the invasion became more complicated and more secretive. Sometimes, even though it is known to be an invasion, it is difficult to get rid of it. During the period when new sea routes were opened, Western invasions mainly involved burning, looting, and massacres of Indians.? Seize various resources such as gold and silver mines, and invade "chiluo" with naked violence and cruelty. This kind of aggression is the most resentful, and it is also the most likely to trigger ethnic conflicts and harm everyone. But later, in the capitalist era, it was mainly commerce, selling various industrial products, controlling the colonial economy, and turning the colonies into vassals. This kind of aggression is relatively mild, but if you look carefully, you can still see it. After World War II, each colony became independent and seemed independent. In fact, it was economically controlled, but it was restricted by democracy, divided, disintegrated, and controlled. . It is said to be an independent country, but in fact it is not independent at all. It is economically controlled and the government leaders are puppets. It is another kind of colony. ¡¡¡¡¡ And in this era, the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly another America! The politics, economy, culture, etc. of the Song Dynasty had overwhelming advantages over the surrounding countries. The military victory at this moment shocked all countries. The surrounding countries all had overwhelming advantages over the Song Dynasty, and the surrounding countries were terrified. At this moment, it is time for Zhao Pu to implement the "Twenty-One Plan" and cut the flesh with a blunt knife step by step, first cultural penetration, then economic control, and then political control. Once that step is reached, it no longer matters who becomes the emperor of Xixia, Xiliao, and Jin, because no matter who becomes the emperor, they are all puppets. Maybe some emperors will find that they just want to resist, but they are powerless. This is "chiluo" naked conspiracy! At this time, Zhao Pu heard a sound of footsteps and saw Wang Wuyue walking in, holding tea and snacks. "Your Majesty, let's eat something, it's getting dark again!" Wang Wuyue said. Zhao Pu smiled and said: "I know!" "Your Majesty, please give me a way for the Khitans to survive!" Wang Wuyue said through gritted teeth. If the emperor is determined to conquer the west, Xiliao may not be able to resist it at that time. "The Kingdom of Jin once invaded our Song Dynasty, destroyed our Song Dynasty, captured my clan's children, and brought shame and humiliation to our Song Dynasty. I still gave them a way to survive, and they are Khitan people!" Zhao Pu continued, "Don't hate you. Enemy, hatred will make you make bigger mistakes. If I don¡¯t hate the Jurchens, how can I hate the Khitan people?¡± Wang Wuyue was full of joy, and the emperor had the best temper. He is too proud to tell lies, and no one is worthy of his lies. The emperor said that if a way of survival is left to the Khitan people, a way of survival must be left to the Khitan people. "There is no hatred that cannot be resolved in the world. Time will forget everything and heal the wounds in my heart!" Zhao Pu said quietly. Only the literati who are free from pain and "shenyin" can always talk about national hatred and the spiritual trauma of the past. But many people are realistic, living in the contemporary era, busy with daily necessities, marrying wives and having children, and obsessed with getting promoted and making a fortune. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Exploring a national war that will hurt both sides, is only the hope of careerists, not what the common people want," she said. Time will dissolve hatred. After a few generations, no one will remember hatred as long as it is not deliberately intensified. As a king, you should resolve national hatred instead of exacerbating it!
