Faced with the quarrels among the officials, Mu Yanfengguan could compete at first, but at this time, he had no power to parry, let alone Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Shao, Zhen Dexiu, Han Hong, and Zhao Shanxiang.
Such big guys haven't spoken yet. If they had spoken, they would have been defeated long ago.
Zhao Yun raised his hand slightly, and the officials stopped arguing and returned to their class, leaving Mu Yanfengguan alone, doubting life.
Zhao Yun glanced at Mu Yanfengguan and said, "I'll give you a chance, but you'll be useless."
Zhao Yun said: "Go back and tell your emperor that we, the Song Dynasty, have no intention of forming an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, but we can still live in peace with each other."
Mu Yanfengguan thought for a while, and finally asked: "What if the Song Dynasty has troops to attack our country, Jin?"
"You can handle it yourself, I will never stop you."
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you punish him and set an example to others?"
"They are heroes if they come back. How can I punish the heroes?"
"If that's the case, how can we live in peace and harmony?"
"Okay, let's get down." Zhao Yun interrupted him directly.
Mu Yanfengguan wanted to say more, but facing the extremely powerful Zhao Yun, he had no choice but to retreat angrily.
Immediately, Zhao Yun looked at the officials and said: "I hope all of you will remember that the family and the country are one. Only when the country exists can the family survive forever. If the private interests of a family are higher than the country, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed."
, the shame of Jingkang will definitely reappear. I hope you will understand which one is more serious."
Zhao Yun's words are tantamount to telling hundreds of officials that after the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty will face a more powerful opponent, that is, Mongolia. Just like the Jin Kingdom that came after the demise of the Liao Kingdom, if you still can't distinguish the priorities, then
Disaster strikes and families are destroyed.
Most of the officials, their fathers and grandfathers had personally experienced the shame of Jingkang. They had been taught about that tragic incident since they were young, so they naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Yun's reminder.
All the officials solemnly raised their hands to Zhao Yun and said: "Your Majesty's teachings, I will take them to heart."
After going to court, Zhao Yun summoned Zhao Fan in his study. In a few days, Zhao Fan was going back to Huaidong, so Zhao Yun could not help but give him personal instructions.
After the monarch and his ministers saw the ceremony, Zhao Yun said: "When the Qing family returns to Huaidong, they must be careful at all times. The Jin Kingdom was able to come up with stupid ideas of losing the north and making up for the south, but there is no guarantee that they will not come up with "genius ideas" again. We cannot do this.
main idea."
Zhao Fan raised his hand to accept the order and said: "I understand, your Majesty, please rest assured."
"The Qing family is deeply influenced by their family tradition. They have a calm and cautious personality. I feel at ease."
With Zhao Fan sitting in Huaidong, always threatening the Kingdom of Jin, Zhao Yun hardly had to worry about the Kingdom of Jin. This also provided external conditions for Zhao Yun to carry out reforms in the country with peace of mind.
Then Zhao Yun said again: "There is something that I have been undecided about. The Qing family is here today, and I want to hear their opinions."
"I don't dare, so please let your Majesty say it clearly."
"The enmity between Song and Jin, the hatred of our family and country, I have always been thinking about. My will for the Kingdom of Jin is that it must perish in my hands. However, I feel troubled about the future direction of the situation."
Zhao Fan looked serious. If the Song Dynasty destroyed the Jin Kingdom at the last moment and regained its homeland north of the Huaihe River, then the Song Dynasty would directly face the threat of the Mongolian army. How should it deal with it then?
Zhao Yun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and continued: "What I mean is to set up four major war zones and withdraw all the people in the homeland to the south of the Huaihe River, leaving only the army to build fortifications in the homeland to resist the Mongolian army. In this way, this homeland will be
It’s the first war zone.”
The large area of homeland north of the Huaihe River has been squeezed and exploited by the Jin Kingdom for many years. In the future, it will experience decisive battles between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and will also endure the confrontation between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia. Under such an environment, the people cannot farm and live with peace of mind.
Therefore, Zhao Yun thought it would be better to withdraw them all and enrich the prefectures and counties south of the Huaihe River so that they could live in peace of mind, which would also be beneficial to the government's finances.
After Zhao Fan listened, he said nothing.
Zhao Yun added: "Sichuan and Shu are the important places for money and grain taxation in the Song Dynasty. They are known as the land of abundance. It is difficult for the Mongolian army not to covet them. Now Yu Jie has built a mountain city defense system in Sichuan and Shu. Chongqing City, Diaoyu City, Daliang City, Xiao
Liangcheng, Qingju City and more than 20 cities are already under construction, and I intend to use Sichuan and Shu as the second theater."
"Lianghuai is the frontier of the Huaihe River. If the first theater fails, the Mongolian army is very likely to launch a direct attack on Lianghuai. In this way, Lianghuai is the third theater."
"Jingxiang is located on the front line of Jiangbei and is connected to Huaixi. It can provide solid support for the two Huaihe Rivers. Even if the two Huaihe Rivers fail, they can still rely on their superior geographical location to launch a decisive battle on the Yangtze River. In this way, Jingxiang is the fourth theater."
Finally, Zhao Yun concluded, saying: "Of these four war zones, the first war zone is the main one, which consumes a lot of the Mongolian army's combat power. The other war zones can also support each other or fight independently. I think that if the court does not make big mistakes, the four war zones will
The war zone is enough to drain the enemy's blood, survive the heyday of the Mongolian army, and finally protect our Song Dynasty. I wonder what the Qing family thinks?"
Zhao Fan considered Zhao Yun's words word by word in his mind, and finally he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there are many countries that Mongolia conquers, and its territory is vast. The people under its rule are only ten times as many as mine. On the other hand, I have the Song Dynasty.
, If the homeland north of the Huaihe River is reduced to a war zone and is not used for production, then how can our mere land south of the Huaihe River support the national war for a long time?"
Zhao Yun looked serious and said nothing.
Zhao Fan added: "The ancients said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If the Song Dynasty started a national war for a long time, it would definitely lead to an increase in the burden on the people and make their lives difficult.
If such a situation is only temporary, the people can naturally tolerate it. However, if it goes on like this, people's hearts will inevitably become unstable. If it is used by people with ulterior motives to incite civil unrest. In this way, I am afraid that we, the Song Dynasty, will be like strong men and have not destroyed foreigners.
Instead, it was destroyed by internal fighting!"
Zhao Yun closed his eyes. Apparently Zhao Fan's words made him think deeply and made him realize his lack of consideration.
After a long time, Zhao Yun nodded and said: "I have benefited a lot from your words. This plan needs more additions."
Zhao Fan raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty's plan is actually very necessary. When a war zone is established, a special person must be appointed to coordinate it. This can avoid the disadvantages of soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death and refuse to advance. The only thing that needs to be supplemented now is logistics.
, A long-term national war will definitely require a steady stream of troops and food. If Your Majesty solves this problem, then the national war will last for twenty, thirty, fifty, or even a hundred years."
Zhao Yun nodded happily. His plan was partially recognized by Zhao Fan, which also showed that it was feasible.
