In Yuhu, Zhao Yun looked at Meng Gong and Yu Jie with satisfaction. Zhao Yun said, "You are all right in Sichuan and Shu. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
The two of them were uneasy, and Yu Jie raised his hand and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything goes well in Sichuan and Shu. Your Majesty, please be at ease."
Meng Gong also raised his hand and said: "I have implemented the military reform in Sichuan and Shu very smoothly. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Very good. I am very pleased that you were able to adapt to Sichuan and Shu in a short period of time and build the foundation for our country."
As he spoke, Zhao Yun looked at Yu Jie and asked: "Yu Qing's family, how is your mountain city defense system doing?"
Yu Jie looked ashamed. He stood up, half-bent, raised his hand to plead guilty, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the mountain city defense system is still in planning and has not been implemented in practice. Please punish me."
Meng Gong on the side was a little surprised when he heard that Yu Jie said that it had not been implemented yet. He also knew about this plan, and he also knew that Zhao Yun valued this plan very much.
In order to build this mountain city defense system, Zhao Yun not only allowed Yu Jie to allocate and dispose of the money, food and materials throughout Sichuan and Sichuan, but also allocated one million yuan every year to build the mountain city defense system.
It can be said that for this system, Zhao Yun made the court bear a heavy financial burden.
But now it has been two years and this plan has not been implemented yet, which is a bit unreasonable.
Meng Gong turned to look at Zhao Yun, wondering how he would deal with Yu Jie.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun's face was calm, not angry, let alone angry. On the contrary, Zhao Yun admired Yu Jie even more.
Zhao Yun said to Yu Jie: "Although the Qing family took office with the intention of building a mountain city defense system, as soon as they took office they tried their best to resettle the 100,000 soldiers and civilians of Xixia. In this regard, the Qing family did a good job and they were all properly accommodated.
, there was no trouble.”
Yu Jiexin relaxed a little.
Zhao Yun added: "Then, I delayed the Qing family's time, and the farmland-to-household law was implemented immediately. There was basically no major chaos in Sichuan. I was surprised and very pleased. I knew that the Qing family was involved.
Toil.”
When Yu Jie heard this, his eyes were already wet.
Zhao Yun continued: "After that, there was a towed thunder attack. The Qing family tried their best to ensure the lives of the soldiers and civilians, but it also delayed time."
"Your Majesty." Yu Jie was moved in his heart. He was moved by his own difficulties. Zhao Yun saw them one by one and remembered them in his heart.
Zhao Yun stood up, personally helped Yu Jie up, and made him sit down safely.
Zhao Yun said: "The Qing family has delayed their plans because of these things. When I ask you, you should tell me your difficulties. Otherwise, if you meet a confused king, you will die unjustly."
Yu Jie shook his head, feeling moved, and said: "I don't dare to express my hardships when working for His Majesty. I didn't implement the plan on time. I just feel that I have failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations. How dare I find excuses to evade punishment."
"Hahaha,,, the Qing family is too rigid. We must fight for what needs to be fought for, argue for what needs to be argued, and state what needs to be stated. There is no need for this."
Zhao Yun always thought about Yu Jie, which not only moved Yu Jie, but also moved Meng Gong on the side. With such a sage as an official, as a minister, there is no need to worry. All he has to do is serve you to death.
Then the emperor and his ministers talked about forming an alliance with Genghis Khan. While Meng Gong admired Zhao Yun's courage, he couldn't help but feel worried about Zhao Yun.
He said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, the alliance meeting is really too dangerous. I am worried that something might happen midway and endanger your Majesty's safety. And,,,and,,,"
Zhao Yun saw that Meng Gong was about to speak but hesitated, so he said: "The Qing family has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
Meng Gong no longer hesitated and said: "This time the mine attack came, our Song Dynasty defeated it, and our strength was undoubtedly demonstrated. Even if the Mongolian army is strong, our Song Dynasty can deal with it. Your Majesty, you don't have to risk your life. Please consider it."
For a long time, I didn’t understand why His Majesty wanted to form an alliance with Genghis Khan, and I felt there was no need to take risks.”
Yu Jie also looked curious. He didn't know why Zhao Yun had to go all the way and come all the way. Moreover, the place where the alliance would be held was most likely under Mongolian rule and was full of dangers.
"Hehehe,,,"
Yu Jie and Meng Gong were both worried, but Zhao Yun didn't care.
Zhao Yun laughed a few times and then said calmly: "You two gentlemen, you must remember that in the next twenty years, even the next thirty or fifty years, the Mongolian army will be the largest in our Song Dynasty.
Threats, Song and Mongolia must be prepared for a long-term war, and even several generations can only concentrate on this one thing. If you slack off for a moment, the dynasty will overthrow and the country will not survive."
"this,,,"
Meng Gong and Yu Jie were both surprised and shocked by Zhao Yun's words. If Zhao Yun said it, the extent of Mongolia's threat to the Song Dynasty greatly exceeded their understanding.
Zhao Yun continued: "War is ultimately fought against people. Only with a steady stream of people can we have a steady stream of soldiers, and only then can we have a steady stream of food, grass and baggage. In the end, we can win the war."
One of the biggest reasons why our Han dynasty has stood firm for thousands of years is that our population has always been dozens or even hundreds of times that of the grassland population.
In addition, the tribes in the grassland are scattered and autonomous. It is said to be a grassland dynasty, but it is more like the Zhou Dynasty, which is the common ruler of the world. They cannot form an internal unity, and their population power cannot be used to its maximum effect. In this way, even if we fail ten times
Don’t be afraid a hundred times, because as long as we win once, we can uproot the grassland dynasty.
In addition, there is another reason why our Han Dynasty is invincible, that is, we have always been based on farming, and we are a system based on farming civilization. We have advanced forging, metallurgy,
Siege, farming, excavation, weaving and other technologies are advanced in technology, rich in resources, and brilliant in civilization.
As for the grassland dynasty, their civilization is extremely simple, with nothing but herding, and they can't even cast an iron pot by themselves. Our technology is far ahead of them, which is why it is difficult for them to defeat us."
Zhao Yun's words were analyzed in a sensible and sensible way. Yu Jie and Meng Gong both nodded and agreed.
At this time, Zhao Yun changed the topic and said: "But now the situation has changed, and we happened to meet this change."
"Oh, please let your Majesty make it clear."
Yu Jie couldn't help but ask, and Meng Gong also looked expectantly, waiting for the answer.
Zhao Yun continued: "Today's Mongolia is different from the grassland dynasties of any period. All this is because a man emerged from the Mongolian grassland, and this man is Genghis Khan.
He unified the Mongolian grassland and made the population of the various tribes in the grassland become a whole. They no longer dispersed and governed themselves, and no longer consumed internal resources. They all obeyed orders and their strength was greatly enhanced.
