Chapter 474 Great Song Dang Self-Improvement
"How do you want me to save them?" Shen Long didn't go to help them, but asked instead, "If it's just to defeat the Kingdom of Jin or Mongolia, it's not difficult to deal with, I'll fly directly to the northeast to kill Wanyan Daguda Ancestors, go to the Mongolian grasslands and sprinkle some medicine to make their cattle and horses die, but will this prevent the Great Song from perishing?"
"Without Jurchen and Mongols, there will be other alien races rising up. Maybe because of the lack of Jurchen and Mongol restraints, the Khitan turned to covet the Song Dynasty and immediately sent troops south? What if the Khitans and Dangxiang people came from the north? Da Song might be able to withstand the attack from the west side?" After talking for a long time, Shen Long's mouth was a little dry, and he picked up a bottle of dark brown drink and drank it.
"Since Daoist Hong can destroy Mongolia and Jurchen, he should also be able to eliminate Khitan and Dangxiang, right?" Wang Yu raised his head and asked.
"I didn't say I could destroy the Mongols and the Jurchens, but I could kill the leaders of the Jurchens, making them unable to unify; poisoning the Mongols' cattle and horses, freezing to death and starving the previous group of people." Shen Long shook his head and said, " Of course, I can also go to Xingqing Mansion in Xixia, kill Empress Dowager Liang and Bingchang, find Yelu Hongji's Nabo, and kill him too, but what happens after killing them?"
"If Empress Dowager Liang and Yelu Hongji died suddenly, the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms would be in chaos and wars would break out everywhere! My Great Song Dynasty can take this opportunity to attack Yanyun in the north and recover Lingzhou..." Wang Yu stopped after saying a few words. Mouth.
"Northern Expedition to Yanyun and recovery of Lingzhou, relying on the current army of the Song Dynasty may not work." Wang Anshi's understanding of the Song Dynasty is much deeper than that of Wang Yu. He knows that the Song Dynasty is now the Western Army in the Northwest because it has been fighting against Xixia all year round. There is still a certain amount of strength, and the Forbidden Army in Hebei Road and Kaifeng is completely unable to fight.
Moreover, most of the elite of the Western Army are owned by local generals, such as the Zhe family in Fuzhou, the Yang family in Linzhou, the Yao family, and the Zhong family. Growing stronger in the war, it's hard to say that they will still listen to Da Song as they are now.
"When the Xixia and Liao kingdoms are in chaos, there will be wars everywhere. Since the Song Dynasty does not have the ability to quell the war, it can only sit and watch the other heroes regroup. When the north and northwest are settled down again, Jiefu said that they will not be alone. Are you willing to collect a few old coins every year? And ignore the great country in the south?" Shen Long sighed, "You have to be strong yourself to strike an iron. Song's own military strength is not strong, and sooner or later he will perish at the hands of foreigners."
"Get up quickly, both of you." After talking so much, Shen Long finally pulled out his hand to help Wang Anshi and his son up, "But there is nothing you can do about it. Your Great Song Dynasty is not right, and you have been guarding against military generals since Taizu. In the country, warriors have no status, and all the good men are running outside the Donghua Gate to roll their names, so how can the army be strong?"
"Wen Yuwu is the ancestral system of the imperial court..." and it is the most unshakable part of the ancestral system. Even if Wang Anshi said that "the destiny is not to be feared, and the ancestors are not to be lawful", at most he dared to make a statement. He wouldn't dare to make such a small fight like Baojiafa, no matter how big it is.
"Civilian politics is right,
Soldiers interfering in politics will inevitably lead to political turmoil, but this does not mean that you will regard generals as enemies and lackeys. You must know that warriors are also the cadres of the country! If there are no warriors, who will guard the border of the Song Dynasty? Han Qi killed Jiao and scolded Di Qing. You scholars of the Song Dynasty have widely shown off this matter, but you don't know how many warriors have been chilled! "
"What victories did Han Qi fight again? I heard that Zhang Yuan wrote a poem after Hao Shuichuan's defeat, saying, 'Where did Xia Song ever rise up? The ridicule is all over the body." Speaking of this, Shen Long was also a little frustrated, obviously this kind of thing can't be changed overnight.
"Hey, that's all, let's not talk about this; literati should curb the ambitions of generals, but they shouldn't be curbed in this way; I'm getting tired of talking about these recently, so let's stop here." After finishing speaking, Shen Long was about to get up and send them off. go out.
But in this situation, Wang Anshi and his son can still go back to sleep with peace of mind. They pulled Shen Long's sleeves and refused to leave, "I also ask Daoist Hong to teach me how to save Da Song."
"Hehe, I'm an outsider, and I only know this after reading a few pages of history books. How can Jiefu and Yuanze have a thorough understanding of Da Song? Jiefu and you all have to figure out how to save Da Song! Jiefu It is right to advocate the reform, but the means of implementing the reform and the content of the reform are debatable. I will look for the records and history books of Shenzong's reign, and find a few later generations' comments on Jiefu's reform. Take it back and read it first. Let's see." As he spoke, Shen Long stretched his hands into his sleeves and groped, but he was actually looking for something in the portable space.
Although the sleeves are wide, they don't seem to contain anything, but Shen Long can keep taking out books from them, and the desk is piled up in a short while. "History", "History of Wang Anshi's Reform" and other words.
""History of the Song Dynasty" was compiled by Tuotuo, the prime minister of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and there are many omissions; while the actual record is compiled based on original materials such as archives and daily life notes, but neither the daily life notes nor the archives can guarantee that it is consistent with the facts. They are exactly the same, can these Jiefu understand?" Shen Long pointed to these books and said, "As for those comments on Jiefu's reform, the time interval is longer, and the people who wrote the books may have different understandings of the Song Dynasty. It is also based on the judgment given by the environment he was in at the time, just like Su Laoquan's "Six Kingdoms", these are no problem as reference materials, and must not be completely taken seriously."
Su Laoquan is Su Xun, the father of Su Shi and Su Zhe. In "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", he put forward and demonstrated the argument that the demise of the six kingdoms was "the evil lies in bribing Qin", but his intention was to satirize the age that the Song Dynasty gave to Xixia and Liao. currency.
"I understand." Of course, Wang Anshi knew that the archives and daily life notes would be deliberately revised, and the information handed down to later generations must be different from the real situation at that time; and he himself wrote a lot of historical treatises, so he knew the way inside. After all, people in later generations have different opinions from people in the current world. The suggestions of people in later generations can be used as an angle to judge the problem.
For example, let Su Xun go back to the Warring States Period. Even if he insisted that the Six Kingdoms not bribe Qin, it would be useless. Qin's military strength is there. As long as the Six Kingdoms cannot defeat Qin, they must cede the territory.
"By the way, Jiefu should have finished reading "The Legend of Shang Yang", right? I don't know what you think?" Before Wang Anshi could answer, Shen Long pulled out another book from his sleeve, "Don't rush to answer, this book is similar to "" "Shang Yang Biography" is similar, Jiefu can also read it."
Wang Anshi took it over and took a look, only to see "Zhang Juzheng Biography" written on the cover.
