(Sorry, there was a problem in the previous chapter. Song Huizong was regarded as the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He should be the second to last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it does not affect the subsequent plot.)
"Master, what do you see? Is there something unusual about the contents of this manuscript?" He Qing asked in surprise.
He really hadn't thought about this issue before. He only knew that the manuscript of the "Skinny Gold Book" in front of him was written by Song Huizong and was his original work, but he had never thought about what was written on it. After discovering it, He
Qing didn't check its contents carefully. What he checked before was only the most basic information such as the font.
At the same time, Lin Haitao and Mr. Deng could not help but be surprised. Each of them craned their necks and looked intently at the content that Mr. Zheng had opened.
He Qing was the first to see it and sighed: "It seems to be written about the art of war!"
"Yes, it's the art of war!" Mr. Zheng nodded vigorously and said solemnly, "This 'Skinny Gold Book' records the art of war! I thought it was the "Thousand-Character Classic" because the "Thousand-Character Classic" written by Song Huizong
"It is very famous. Now there is a long scroll with a length of more than three meters, which is stored in the Jiangzhou Museum. It is quite shocking."
He Qing nodded slightly and said: "Well, this is not the "Thousand-Character Classic". I saw this from the beginning, but I didn't read it carefully, so I didn't know what it said about the art of war.
The art of war of one school? "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu or the art of war made by other military strategists?"
Mr. Zheng shook his head and said: "No, it is original. I have never seen it before. I have carefully studied "The Art of War", "Sixteen Cheap Strategies", etc., but I have not studied the art of war written in this book.
This is the first time I’ve seen it, and it’s very strange. I guess there’s no record of it in the history books.”
"There is no recorded art of war?!" He Qing became more and more curious as he listened. He looked at Mr. Zheng with a puzzled face and said, "Then is this a military strategy developed during the Northern Song Dynasty?"
Mr. Zheng said: "I am basically certain of this. Otherwise, I would not have said that this thing has great historical research significance. As for whether it was produced during the Northern Song Dynasty, that is unknown. Further research is needed.
Prove it.”
Lin Haitao suddenly interjected: "Grandpa Qingge, this art of war was actually written by Song Huizong, so it should have something to do with him."
Mr. Zheng said: "It can't be Song Huizong's thoughts. As we all know, Song Huizong was a great fool in the Song Dynasty, and one of the most useless and aggrieved emperors in history. He only knew how to draw, write, eat, drink and have fun all day long.
How can you still think about how to use troops?"
"That's true!" Lin Haitao nodded and responded, "It's very strange. If the military book written by the 'Thin Gold Book' has nothing to do with Song Huizong, then does this manuscript have nothing to do with him?"
"The book must have been written by him, there is no doubt about it!" Mr. Zheng said solemnly, "Although Song Huizong was fatuous and incompetent and valued literature over martial arts, it cannot be denied that he had no interest in the art of war. There is art of war written by him. This is also true.
It’s not surprising, but he has never used a single soldier, and it is impossible to come up with such an exquisite way of using soldiers. He probably borrowed other people’s ideas to write it down, or he just copied other people’s military books.
It’s just that this military book has not been handed down and we can’t see it.”
"Master, let me take a look." He Qing said.
Mr. Zheng said: "Well, take it and take a closer look. The art of war written on it is very subtle and not an ordinary thing."
As he said this, he handed the book to He Qing, who took it happily, and then read it carefully.
The more he looked down, the more his expression changed, and he looked very shocked.
Although he had never studied the art of war and only had a superficial appreciation of it, he could see that the art of war written in the manuscript in his hand was extremely sophisticated and of great significance for research.
"How could that foolish emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty write such a good military book?! This is impossible!"
After taking a closer look, He Qing was secretly surprised.
This is incredible, because during the Northern Song Dynasty, especially at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the entire country was poor and weak, and the imperial military force was very weak and could not resist the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers. However, the emperor and some ministers were bent on seeking peace and rarely fought with soldiers.
If you say that Song Huizong, who was almost the most cowardly person in history, was studying the art of war, it would be ridiculous and unreliable at all.
But in fact, this manuscript is indeed the original work of Song Huizong. As Mr. Zheng said, there is no doubt about this matter.
He Qingfu then thought to himself: "Could it be that some general or counselor in the Song Dynasty had a military method that was written down by Song Huizong, and he was just a ghostwriter?"
Thinking about it deeply, this is the only possibility.
"Master, do you think this could be...Yue Fei's military thinking?"
After reading it carefully for a while, He Qing closed the manuscript and asked casually.
"Isn't Yue Fei a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty?" Deng Laodang answered first, "He was born in the late Northern Song Dynasty. When Song Huizong was in power, he was only in his early twenties. At this time, he was just starting out and could not be a very mature military strategist.
Thought."
Mr. Zheng shook his head disapprovingly and said seriously: "That's not necessarily the case! Although Yue Fei was a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty, he had already risen to prominence when Song Huizong was in power. He has such great talents and great strategies. It's okay to have such an idea.
It’s not surprising. After all, ancient people were not like modern people. Most men were already men by the age of 20, let alone a well-trained and ambitious soldier like Yue Fei. The ‘Soldier of Soldiers’ Sun Wuer in history
Didn't he start writing "The Art of War", the most famous military book in Chinese history, when he was twelve or thirteen years old? However, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts. Except for a few famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, there are indeed very few who are familiar with them.
After Han Shizhong, Yue Fei is much more likely to write a military book. Yue Fei is both civilized and military, which can be seen from his poems 'Return My Rivers and Mountains' and 'Man Jiang Hong'."
"Grandpa, didn't Yue Fei have the "Wu Mu's Suicide Note"?" Lin Haitao asked.
"Wu Mu's Suicide Note?" Mr. Zheng shook his head and smiled, and said, "Haitao, you have read too many martial arts novels, right? Before Jin Yong fabricated "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", there was no official history about "Wu Mu's Suicide Note".
According to the records of Yue Fei's Suicide Notes, there is the "Yue Wu Mu Ji", which was only written by his descendants. Most of the texts collected above are just poems written by Yue Fei and other records, and rarely involve real thoughts on the art of war, at least
It is much inferior to this manuscript! Ever since Mr. Jin Yong wrote the "Wu Mu Suicide Note", a wonderful book on the art of war, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it has become famous. Later, some so-called
"Wu Mu's Suicide Note", but most of the records are martial arts such as Yuejiaquan. They cannot be regarded as military arts, and their research significance is not great. In fact, the authenticity of their existence is questioned.
"Xiao He said that what was written above was Yue Fei's thoughts on the art of war. Look at the content above. This is not unreasonable, but there are many doubts. First of all, when Yue Fei was in the Northern Song Dynasty, he had just joined the army and was not very famous. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty met him
, it is unlikely to hear him talk about his thoughts on the art of war. Secondly, Song Huizong was very sensual. He was not interested in the art of war, was he? Why did he write so seriously? The highest level of "Skinny Gold Book" can be seen between the lines, which shows that he was attentive at that time.
, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to write such beautiful words!”
He Qing nodded and said: "Master, your analysis is reasonable, but there is still a possibility. After all, Yue Fei and Song Huizong have a relationship between monarch and minister. The country belongs to Song Huizong. Of course he also wants to protect his family and the country. We cannot deny that he is completely
Without this idea, Yue Fei recommended himself, or was recommended by others, so that he and Song Huizong met, and then the two had a long talk, talking about the use of troops to resist the Jin soldiers. Is this logical? "
"Didn't some people say that Yue Fei was the illegitimate son of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty?" Lin Haitao couldn't help but talk to him, "It is said that his mother was once a palace maid, and that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was very romantic and had affairs with almost all the women in the palace.
The words "serve the country with loyalty and loyalty" were not inscribed by his mother when Yue Fei went north, but were imprinted on it by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Later, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was captured by the Jin soldiers. Yue Fei vowed to fight to the death to welcome back the "two saints", one of whom was Song Huizong.
, indicating that the relationship between them is extraordinary. It seems that the reason why Song Gaozong wanted to kill Yue Fei later was because he learned this secret and was afraid that the prince Yue Fei, who had a lot of troops at his disposal, would take away his throne."
Hearing Lin Haitao's serious words, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng looked at each other and laughed.
He Qing couldn't help laughing and said: "Haitao, there is no such statement in the wild history, right? Is this a fictional story made by modern people? Haha, you can tell it. Saying that Yue Fei is the son of Song Huizong is a bit insulting to the famous
An anti-gold hero."
"I know, I'll just say it casually." Lin Haitao said with a bitter smile, "If they have a father-son relationship, then it would be normal for them to meet."
He Qing said: "If Yue Fei was a prince, and Song Huizong knew it, how could he not make him a prince? He didn't expect him to reuse Yue Fei. Of course, by the time Yue Fei repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, he would be too late.
"
Mr. Zheng added: "There are clear records in history books that Yue Fei's father was named Yue He. He died of illness when Yue Fei was twenty-two or three years old. Folk novels and other legends say that Yue Fei lost his father when he was young. This is also a fabrication.
Song Gaozong also killed Yue Fei. The most fundamental reason was that Yue Fei's anti-Jin clan blocked the peace negotiation policy with Jin. At the same time, Yue Fei was a national hero at the time, with great power and influence. He was worried that Yue Fei would influence his notice or even replace him.
Of course, he was also afraid that Yue Fei would bring Song Huizong and Song Qinzong back to the country and prevent him from becoming the emperor. It is said that Yue Fei vowed to welcome back Song Huizong to the death because he had a personal relationship. This is completely false. It can only show that Yue Fei served the country loyally and was very loyal. I still prefer it.
Although I agree with Xiao He's statement, as for how many times Song Huizong met Yue Fei, it is not easy to discuss, and there is no need to find out."
"Master, is it really possible that this is Yue Fei's art of war?" He Qing asked in surprise and joy.
"Well, it's possible. We can ask relevant experts to study it later and it will become clear." Zheng Laoyan said solemnly, "Although this cannot be the "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", it does not match the time. The "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" is that of Yue Fei.
Books written after his death, because Wu Mu is Yue Fei's posthumous title, and Yue Fei was still very young when Song Huizong wrote this manuscript. However, if it is really Yue Fei's thoughts on the art of war, it can be called a 'suicide note'.
The only legacy of the Art of War is now recorded in the 'Thin Gold Book' written by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Its value is truly immeasurable!"
