Zhao Ding's words caused many people to frown. No one would like an army like the rebel army. The military discipline was poor, disobedient to discipline, and often had various conflicts with other armies. Not only the peace negotiators, but also Han Shizhong's opinion of the rebel army
All have some headaches.
Although Han Shizhong once had the intention to organize the rebel armies from various places into regular armies, he gave up in the end. One was because it involved military power, which offended the emperor, and the other was because of the attitude of the court, because even if the insurgents were organized into
The regular army will eventually be bullied.
Liu Chan asked: "I wonder if you, dear friends, have any suggestions?"
All the ministers in the court were silent, but Qin Hui, who had always been opposed to the rebels, was frowning and thinking about other things at this time, and could not care about the disputes in the court. Qin Hui was trying hard to change his political views, and the emperor had no choice.
Your attitude has changed, but yours has not changed. If you are not kicked out of the court, who will be kicked out of the court?
Qin Hui is tired. When Zhao Gougang came to the throne, he was the main battler. A few years after he succeeded, he became the main battler. Now he has become the main battler again. With such an unstable leader, everyone will feel tired.
.However, what Qin Hui did not expect was that his current tiredness was only temporary, and he would always be tired in the future. As for why, we will read on.
Zhao Ding understood better that Liu Chan also hated the rebels very much, because he could tell from the emperor's previous attitude. However, Yue Fei's memorial also stated that the rebels played a huge role in the Northern Expedition, and it was impossible to ignore them.
So he said: "Your Majesty, the north is in turmoil. The Jin people are oppressing the people, so that the people are in dire straits. People everywhere are forced to make a living, so they are revolting one after another. Why don't you give more rewards to the rebels and give them land?"
Okay, let them go home and cultivate the land well."
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Liu Chan laughed a little. This was the opinion of a minister who had lived in Kyoto for a long time and didn't know the people on the border. It was just like Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty. Those people were used to fighting and plundering, how could they do it well?
It’s not fun to farm and rob people. It’s not about robbing your own people. If you dare to interfere with me, I will beat you up. This is why the Han Dynasty never punished the Han people in Liangzhou for robbing the Qiang people.
rational.
Speaking of which, Liu Chan's ideas coincide with those of Hu Kang, the leader of the rebel army. They have made a living by robbing for more than ten years, and now you ask me to farm, I will do it! Besides, can you guarantee that the Jin Kingdom will not invade here?
Well! What's more, the people I robbed are not from Song Dynasty, so why do you care about me?
Liu Chan's eyes narrowed slightly. At first, he thought he should be able to completely hand over the power of the court to Zhao Ding. Although it was not pleasing to his eyes, the general direction was similar to his. Moreover, he was also very loyal, making him an upright minister. Now look
Come, Zhao Ding can barely handle the internal affairs. If you dare to leave military and national affairs to him, it will be over. If you don't understand the people's livelihood on the border and only take appointments for granted, the country will be in danger.
Even if Zhao Ding clearly supports the Northern Expedition, your attitude does not mean you are capable!
Liu Chan is worried, why doesn't he have a minister who understands both internal affairs and military affairs like his father-in-law, and is still loyal to him? Liu Chan is so helpless, it is good to separate civil and military affairs, and it is good for civil servants to suppress military officers, but no civil servant can understand
Major matters in the military can be troublesome.
Zhao Ding saw Liu Chan's dissatisfied look and thought that what he said about the rebel army was not to his liking. Although he wanted to say something else, after all, the Song army's offensive was very fierce at the moment, and there was little need for the rebel army to do anything, so he retreated immediately.
He went back and said nothing more.
When Liu Chan saw Zhao Ding's look, he sneered even more and had a headache. Isn't there anyone who understands the influence of the rebel army on the current world situation? With this army causing trouble in the rear of the Jin Kingdom, what will happen to the rebel army?
The trouble caused by the Kingdom of Jin is not the slightest.
Liu Chan glanced around the court and saw no one speaking. The peace negotiators wanted to say something, but looking at Liu Chan's attitude and Zhao Ding's retreat, you knew what was going on. So no one wanted to talk, so they lay down.
Just fine.
The main fighting forces of the peace negotiation faction are Qin Hui, Wang Lun and Sun Jin. Generally speaking, Qin Hui gave the idea first, Wang Lun came on, Sun Jin assisted, and other ministers provided support. Now Qin Hui didn't say anything, not knowing what the problem was, so he negotiated peace
The power can only look at the atmosphere in the court first.
Qin Hui had already changed most of his opinions, and quietly glanced at Liu Chan's expression. After thinking for a moment, he understood what Liu Chan meant. He thought to himself: His Majesty would actually look at the rebels differently. What kind of suffering has he suffered?
Exciting, it seems that the rebel army is not to be disbanded, but to be reused. So Qin Hui came out and said: "Your Majesty, the rebel army must not be disbanded. I sincerely request your majesty to organize the rebel army into an independent Song Army to assist Yue Fei and other generals.
Send troops to the Northern Expedition."
Han Shizhong next to him was also very dissatisfied with Zhao Ding's handling. In his opinion, if Yue Fei was able to regain Luoyang and Shunchang, the rebel army must have played a big role. Once they were allowed to disband with only some rewards, I am afraid that the rebel armies everywhere would
It would be a bit chilling. But he also knew that this might be the best arrangement. After all, it was just a rebel army, and military discipline issues had always been a concern for the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, when he saw Qin Hui coming out, he felt even more dissatisfied. After all, the rebel army's heart belonged to the Song Dynasty. Why didn't any minister care about it? You must know that part of his Eight-Character Army was also transformed from the rebel army. He originally wanted to stand up and oppose Qin Hui.
, but what did he hear? An independent army?
The peacemakers were like a thunderbolt, and they couldn't recover for a long time. What should I do if I, the leader of the peacemaker, have rebelled? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent.
Liu Chan was a little satisfied, and his expression softened a lot. Seeing this, Qin Hui also relaxed a lot, and felt that he had made the right bet. He only heard Liu Chan say: "Ai Qing, what does this mean? Why don't you explain it in detail?"
When he heard the word "Aiqing", Zhao Ding's eyes widened immediately. Qin Hui, a treacherous villain who only flattered and knew nothing about anything, actually got the word "Aiqing". There was nothing wrong with what he said, why?
Don’t call yourself Ai Qing.
If it were Zhao Gou in the past, Zhao Ding's advice would indeed be very popular, but unfortunately the current emperor is Liu Chan. Even if Liu Chan now supports the Northern Expedition, Zhao Ding still treats Liu Chan with the same attitude as Zhao Gou. This is different from Qin Hui
, Qin Hui was a famous treacherous minister in history. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately gave up his original ideas and stood with the emperor, so he could comply with Liu Chan's wishes.
To put it simply, Qin Hui was better at understanding the emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, although the rebel army is not a regular army of our dynasty, it was established because of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, I heard that the uprising of the rebel army in the north caused turmoil in the rear of the Jin Kingdom. The Jin people had to disperse their forces.
To deal with them, our army can regain Shunchang and other places in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the rebel army is of great benefit to our Song Dynasty. If we just add some rewards and let them disband, I am afraid they will be dissatisfied. In this case, it is better to let them
They formed an independent army specifically to destabilize the Jin Kingdom's rear and provide convenience for our frontline army."
In short, it is to let the rebels go to the Jin Kingdom's rear to cause trouble. Anyway, they are very experienced in hiding in Tibet, so there is no need to worry about their safety.
Qin Hui's idea coincided with Liu Chan's, and he immediately became more satisfied: "What Ai Qing said makes sense. After all, we are all the people of the Song Dynasty, and we cannot treat them badly. But I don't know how about the food and grass? Can we supply this army?"
"Now that the development of the south does not require much food and grass for the time being, our food and grass reserves are more than enough to supply the rebels."
"Okay!" Liu Chan was even more satisfied, and then said: "The development of the south must be carried out in an orderly manner. As for the food and fodder for the rebel army, I will leave it to you, Aiqing."
Seeing this, Han Shizhong quickly wanted to persuade Qin Hui to take charge of the rebel army's food and grass. That was really a big joke. I'm afraid he could barely keep the rebel army from starving. Once the war started, food and grass would become a big problem.
At this time, Han Shizhong did not know about Liu Chan's warning to Qin Hui about grain and grass, but he was very aware of Qin Hui's delay in transferring grain and grass for the Northern Expedition.
But before he could speak, Liu Chan went on to say: "The rebels can plunder all the materials in the Jin Kingdom's rear areas except the common people at will. I can guarantee that as long as they are not the common people of the Song Dynasty, I will not take any responsibility."
Han Shizhong felt much relieved after hearing this. The rebel army did not rely on the government's relief. With the supply of food and grass, they could also plunder materials. In this way, the rebel army did not have to worry about the food and grass.
"If we plunder so casually, I'm afraid the rebels will become a little uncontrollable?" Zhao Ding said, he was very dissatisfied with Qin Hui's suggestion. However, since Zhao Gou came to power, there have been several military defeats. If the uprising
If the troops become uncontrollable again, the trouble will be even greater!
Liu Chan felt that what Zhao Ding said made sense. Dong Zhuo was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty at that time, but when he entered Luoyang, he became a traitor that was attacked by everyone in the world.
Liu Chan slowly glanced at the courtiers and thought briefly: "Prime Minister Qin, if you are asked to lead this army, what do you think?"
Qin Hui was very frightened. He didn't know what he had done wrong. He was a civil servant, so how could he lead troops to fight? He didn't want to become a bad guy. His ideal was to become the left prime minister.
Above all men, all armies must obey his orders, so why lose the big for the sake of small things.
Qin Hui said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am not good at leading an army, let alone a large army in the Northern Expedition. I beg your Majesty to think again." These words were so profound that Qin Hui almost cried. If he led troops to fight, he would not be seeking death.
Your Majesty, what on earth are you thinking? Please spare me. For the first time, Qin Hui felt worried about his talent for figuring out what to do. Is this right?
Liu Chan laughed in his heart, he was very satisfied with Qin Hui. For some things, even if his own thoughts have not yet been expressed, Qin Hui can put them forward according to his own wishes.
