Chapter 1154: Making a Decision in the Palace

"As early as the Jianyan period, Hong Hao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was detained when he was an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. During this period, Hong Shangshu knew about the threat of Mongolia to the Kingdom of Jin; he mentioned the difficulties of the Kingdom of Jin and the Mongols in his letters during the reign of Shaoxing, It's a pity that my Song Dynasty had already negotiated peace with the Kingdom of Jin at that time, and failed to join forces with Mengwu to attack the Kingdom of Jin. At that time, Yue Wumu and Han Zhongwu were still alive. No problem!" Zhao Yun has worked hard during this time, collecting a lot of information related to Mongolia.

What he said was right. Yue Fei’s Northern Expedition had already defeated the Kingdom of Jin. If Mengwu attacked from the north again, the Jin Kingdom might not be able to withstand the enemy at both ends. It has not yet fully flourished, and after defeating the Kingdom of Jin, it can also block the Muwu army, and maybe take the opportunity to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

It's a pity that Zhao Gou, a coward, was scared out of his nerve by Jin Guo, and the twelve gold medals summoned Yue Fei to return to court, which made the good situation come to an end and left the Southern Song Dynasty with such a mess.

Later, Han Tuozhou also considered the issue of uniting Mongolia during the Kaixi Northern Expedition, but firstly, Mongolia was caught in a melee and had not yet been unified, and secondly, Han Tuozhou lost too quickly, so the matter was over.

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, due to the deep memory of the disasters of the five generations of warriors, they have paid more attention to martial arts than culture, and their defense against their own generals has surpassed that of the enemy. First there was Di Wuxiang, and then there was Yue Wumu. These famous generals did not die. In the hands of the enemy, it is really painful to die unjustly at the hands of the court." Shen Long said, if he wants to keep the Song Dynasty, he must reverse this problem.

"However, since Jianyan's crossing to the south, the warriors have also become stronger for a short time, so we have to guard against it." At that time, Yue Fei didn't want to rebel. If he wanted to rebel, the court might not be able to stop him. One of the reasons for being afraid of Yue Fei is that if Yue Fei were allowed to regain Bianliang, Tokyo, and then learn from Zhao Kuangyin, he would have trouble sleeping and eating when he thought of Zhao Gou; in comparison, the two emperors who were imprisoned in the Kingdom of Jin It's nothing.

"The power that should be given to warriors should be given to officials, otherwise no one would be willing to sacrifice their lives for the Song Dynasty. Han Qi's story of "a good man is a good man who sings outside the Donghua Gate" cannot be repeated. Civil and military officials are also officials. If warriors are suppressed It is not appropriate to be too low; but one must be on guard against warriors, otherwise the An Lushan incident may not happen again." Shen Long taught carefully.

If you want to prevent military rebellion, you can't use civil officials to suppress it, but you have to solve it from the system, control financial supply, mobilize generals in a timely manner, and don't let them stay in one place for too long, etc. These are all ways.

"These are not things that can be done overnight, but the matter of uniting Mongolia and attacking gold is just around the corner. What should we do? If we agree, after we win the Kingdom of Jin, there will be a close relationship between Song Dynasty and Mongolia." There is no barrier anymore!" Zhao Yun recalled what he saw in his dream, the fiasco of Duanping entering Luo, and the battle of Xiangyang and Yashan in the future...

If he didn't make some changes, wouldn't Da Song repeat the tragedy in his dream? But it is not appropriate to want to prevent the alliance with Mongolia. Firstly, this is what the people want, and secondly, the power of the government is now in the hands of Shi Miyuan, so it doesn't count if he says it himself.

"It's not that there are no objections in the court. Qiao Xingjian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, thinks that 'the strong Tartars are gradually rising, and their power is enough to destroy the gold. My enemy in the past is also my cover today. The ancients' lips and teeth are cold. Yigu and coins make people reject Tartar.'" If there were no ones in the dream, Zhao Yun would probably refute Qiao Xingjian's opinion, Jin Guo is the deadly enemy of Song Dynasty, how can he support Jin Guo?

The same is true of the opinions inside and outside the government and the public. After Qiao Xingjian said these words, all the students of the Imperial Academy, Huang Ziran, Huang Hong, Zhou Datong, Jia Yan, Xu Shilong, etc., came to Fuli's main entrance, please cut Qiao Xingjian to thank the world , it can be said that the public opinion is raging.

However, Zhao Yun felt that Qiao Xingjian's words were more reasonable. If there is a kingdom of Jin that can temporarily block Mongolia and win a respite for the Song Dynasty, it will not be too late to fight Mongolia again after he takes control of the political power. It was no longer possible for Shi Miyuan to hold the power alone.

Shen Long shook his head slowly, "It is no longer up to the Song Dynasty to make decisions. It is certainly better to unite with the Kingdom of Jin to resist Mongolia, but neither the Song Dynasty nor the Kingdom of Jin think so; then Wanyan Yongji dare not resist Mongolia, but instead Leading the Kingdom of Jin to move south, if the Mongols continue to march south, the first thought of the people of the Kingdom of Jin may not be how to fight back against Mongolia, but to continue to attack the Song Dynasty southward, thus gaining a breathing space for themselves.”

Shen Long originally thought that the Southern Song Dynasty's alliance with the Mongols to destroy the Jin was very stupid, but after understanding the background of this decision, he realized that this was also a helpless move. The Jin Kingdom had no intention of uniting with the Southern Song Dynasty at all. It belonged to the weak and weak Song Dynasty, and this gold bearer is still very clear.

No wonder Wanyan Honglie still wanted to deal with Song when the Kingdom of Jin was attacked by Mongols. If it can occupy half of the country in the Song Dynasty and rule across the river with Mongolia, the Kingdom of Jin can last for a while.

"It's good to live like this, can't we just watch the Song Dynasty perish?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun became even more anxious, and hurriedly bowed down to Shen Long, "I also ask the immortal master to kill Shi Miyuan, so that I can let him die." I hold the power of the government!"

"Even if I help you this time, if you encounter something next time, can you continue to count on me? You are the official of Song Dynasty!" Shen Long snapped, hey, although he has his own teachings, Tianshui Zhao Shi's problem of being cowardly at critical moments still hasn't completely changed.

"Immortal Master's redemption, I... I'm a little anxious!" Seeing that Shen Long was angry, Zhao Yun hurriedly apologized.

Seeing that he could realize his mistake, Shen Long's tone softened a bit, "Shi Miyuan is naturally to be punished, but now is not the time. According to Jin Guo's thinking, the most important thing is to destroy Jin Guo first; After conquering the Kingdom of Jin, if the Song army is defeated by the Mongols, Shi Miyuan can take the blame, and the officials can take this opportunity to take him down!"

After the failure of Duanping's entry into Luo, although Mongolia aggressively attacked Song Dynasty, it was not as fast as when Jin Kingdom was destroyed. Mongolia finally withdrew its troops and did not start attacking Southern Song Dynasty again until Kublai Khan's period 20 years later. Zhao Yun still had time.

"Since that's the case, I have to start preparing now!" There are still a few years before Duanping enters Luo, if you start careful preparations from now on, there is still time.

"It's a pity that there is no famous general like Yue Wumu in the court now who can lead the army for me!" When it comes to fighting, Zhao Yun deeply regrets that he has too few people available.

"That's not necessarily true." Shen Long said.
