Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 772: The Weakness of the Song Dynasty, the Heart of Disobedience?
Chapter 772: The Weakness of the Song Dynasty, the Heart of Disobedience?
Chapter 772: The Song Dynasty was weak and disobedient?
Speaking of which, it was not wrong for Taizu to formulate such a strategy.
Because the era Taizu experienced was originally different!
Taizu was born in troubled times. Why did the Tang Dynasty, which was huge and powerful at that time, perish?
It is precisely because the local vassal towns are too powerful, even far stronger than the imperial court.
Including the Tang Dynasty, why did the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms occur?
The emperor takes turns, come to my house today! In that chaotic era, as long as you have soldiers, you can become the emperor! Every change of dynasties is due to the strength of the generals! This is not the case for the Later Liang, the Later Jin, the Later Tang, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou!
Song Taizu witnessed all this with his own eyes, and also witnessed the uneasiness and hidden dangers that powerful military generals brought to the country! Therefore, even though he was born in martial arts, he was also extremely afraid of military generals! He absolutely did not want the Song Dynasty he established to be incompatible with
Just like the previous dynasties, they would be overthrown by tyrannical military commanders before long.
What he hopes for is a country that is unified, strong and can be passed down!
After a glass of wine, the military power was released, and more than half of the generals who founded the Song Dynasty were eliminated! The remaining ones were only two or three big cats and kittens!
Because Taizu knew very well that those civil servants were just talking words, so what could they do no matter how powerful they were?
Is it controlling government affairs or taking bribes?
But military commanders are different. Once a military commander loses control, the country will be destroyed.
However, Taizu forgot that his descendants did not have his wisdom and martial arts! In Taizu's dynasty, it didn't matter even if all the generals were dismissed.
Because Taizu himself was the top military general, he could lead the army to conquer the north and south! But the later grandsons, let alone going to the battlefield, would tremble in cold war even if they mentioned the military front. The weakness of the Song Dynasty was inevitable
!
The Song Dynasty was not without generals, nor was it without geniuses!
The far ones are Di Qing, Di Hanchen, and the near ones are Yue Fei and Yue Pengju! Each of them is a genius on the battlefield! Unfortunately, they were born in the wrong era, so, like a flash in the pan, their glory soon faded away! Even Xin Qiji,
An unusually brave man! Leading dozens of people, he dared to attack tens of thousands of golden soldiers to catch the traitor, and he succeeded. Was it all due to luck?
However, in history, such a military commander was forced by the Song Dynasty to become a genius poet!
The appearance of Xin Qiji was not a glory, but a kind of sorrow for the Song Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, it's not that I am overly concerned! Your Majesty attaches great importance to this Shen Hall.
However, after all, this Shen Tang is a young man who has only been in the court for two or three years! He is so happy for his success, impulsive and without any plan! On the battlefield, there is no conclusion, and any unexpected occurrence is extremely normal! This time, in the battle of Chengdu Mansion,
Fortunately, we won, but can our Song Dynasty guarantee victory every time?
If we lose, how should we, the Song Dynasty, deal with ourselves?"
Zhu Zhuo's face was filled with sorrow and grief!
"Moreover, the old minister also heard that Shen Tang was favored by Zhang Jun.
This time, one of the large armies that went to Chengdu was the Zaoyang Army, and the second was the Xin Family Army! The commanders of these two armies were Bian Xi and Xin Qiji.
And the two of them are sworn brothers with Shen Tang!"
"In other words, these tens of thousands of troops can almost be defeated by Shen Tang alone! In addition, Your Majesty should also know that Shen Tang has many connections with the Kingdom of Jin.
The most favored princesses of the Emperor of Jin all married directly to Shen Tang.
Moreover, in this battle of Chengdu, the Kingdom of Jin actually lent troops to our Song Dynasty twice!"
"Your Majesty, maybe the old minister is overthinking it.
However, the veteran does not understand, is this Jin Guoran a fool?
Without any conditions, they lent troops to the Song Dynasty for free, what is their purpose?"
"In addition, not long ago, His Majesty proposed marriage to Shen Tang! And the marriage partner was the daughter of the Shao family in Jiangnan! The Shao family in Jiangnan has a fortune of tens of millions, doesn't it make Shen Tang even more powerful?"
"We have military power inside, and the help of the Kingdom of Jin outside. We have soldiers and money in our hands! Forgive me for being presumptuous. I am not jealous of Shen Tang, but after all, it is necessary to be on guard against others! If Shen Tang really touches other people one day Thinking, how many people in our Song Dynasty can control him?"
"Hey, I also heard that I wanted to reward Shen Tang for his achievements this time.
The Holy One actually wants to let this young boy take charge of Chengdu Mansion directly!"
"Your Majesty may not know yet. After the battle in Chengdu Prefecture, the local tribes almost obeyed Shen Tang's words! The old minister knows that Shen Tang is a capable man.
However, being capable does not mean being loyal! A loyal minister is far more important than a capable minister..."
Zhu Zhuo's words caused the expression on Zhao Gou's face to change constantly. Especially when he heard Zhu Zhuo talking about the power and power of Shen Tang's closeness, his eyes showed a bit of fear.
He controls a large army, has good relations with wealthy people like the Shao family, and even has a very good relationship with the Kingdom of Jin. Think about it, weren't the emperors of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms like this before they ascended to the throne?
If Shen Tang is allowed to develop like this...
"hiss!"
In Zhao Gou's heart, he took a breath of cold air. This Shen Tang must not be allowed to gain power. Otherwise, I am afraid that the remaining half of the Song Dynasty will not be stable.
"Hey, Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
Zhu Zhuo sighed and said, "I have been holding these words in my heart for too long, but I still don't know who to talk to. I met His Majesty today and couldn't hold it back for a while, which caused trouble for Your Majesty.
I hope your majesty will take into account the old minister’s heart for our Song Dynasty and don’t blame the old minister for talking nonsense!”
"Han Zhang, what words are you talking about?"
Zhao Gou waved his hand, "If you don't tell me, I really don't know these things clearly.
After all, the emperor is already old and has his own thoughts. If I don't tell you some things, it's hard for me to press him.
But even though I have abdicated, I will never let these rebellious ministers and traitors expand and catastrophize our country, the Song Dynasty!"
"Now Shen Tang is highly favored by Huang Er, so if you want to deal with Shen Tang directly, you have to take Huang Er's face into consideration.
However, now that I know it, I will never let it go.
"As for other things, I will take my time to figure it out! Even a small Shen Tang can't escape from my grasp!"
"Besides, Han Zhang, you don't need to do this! How can I not understand your thoughts?
You and I, the monarch and my ministers, have been friends for decades. You can treat me like this. I am only happy in my heart. There is no trace of blame! It's a pity, Han Zhang, that you are indeed old. Otherwise, even if the emperor is unhappy, , I will also let you set foot on the court again, so that you can be at the helm of our Song Dynasty for a few more years!"
