Wu Yingxiong saw that Zhao Junchen still wanted to clear up his responsibility, so he simply made the matter more clear.
"The governor believes that the direct reason for the invasion of Jianzhou Jurchens is of course their greed for the wealth of our dynasty, but there is another indirect factor that cannot be ignored, that is, the Jianzhou Jurchens discovered the internal affairs of Liaodong Town It was chaotic, so he took advantage of the chaos and entered!
But why did civil strife suddenly break out in Liaodong Town without warning? Why did the Jianzhou Jurchens quickly discover the civil strife in Liaodong Town? It would be better to find out and explain this relationship clearly. What do you think, Zhao Gechen? "
As he spoke, Wu Yingxiong stared at Zhao Junchen closely. The implication was that Zhao Junchen deliberately caused the civil strife in Liaodong Town, and it was also Zhao Junchen who deliberately let Jianzhou Jurchen know the news of the civil strife in Liaodong Town in time.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen is the culprit of this war and the culprit behind the scenes of the war that the people have to endure.
After hearing this, Zhao Junchen still sneered and said sarcastically: "Indirect factors? If people eat whole grains, they will inevitably breed all kinds of diseases indirectly. So when you get sick, should you blame the mouth that you usually eat? When the wound becomes suppurative, it must be If you have to use a knife to dig out the sores and make the wounds bleed again, do you need to hold the doctors responsible for hurting people? Governor Wu, when you face the enemy, you must send your soldiers to the battlefield. So, should you, Governor Wu, also be responsible for the soldiers? Are they indirectly responsible for their deaths on the battlefield?
How should the so-called 'indirect factors' and 'indirect liability' be identified? Everything has to pay a price. If you just look at the price and hesitate, then everyone should stop doing things from now on! Governor Wu takes out this kind of indirect responsibility, puts himself on a high moral position, and holds others accountable for everything. Doesn't he feel that he is too high up to be in the cold? "
Wu Yingxiong felt that Zhao Junchen was talking nonsense, and after thinking for a moment, he wanted to refute it.
But Zhao Junchen was unwilling to give up, and spoke up first and sarcastically said again: "My cabinet has limited capabilities. Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to the so-called 'indirect responsibility.' When something happens, I will only focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, looking for direct causes! But! Since Governor Wu mentioned this...
OK! Then let’s trace the source, get to the bottom of it, and carefully investigate who caused Liaodong Town to fall into civil strife, and why he let Liaodong Town fall into civil strife! Who made Jianzhou Jurchen discover the civil strife in Liaodong Town in advance, and why did he deliberately leak the news! Since we want to investigate, let's simply investigate the root and truth of everything. Since we want to pursue the so-called 'indirect responsibility,' how about laying out everyone's indirect responsibility and clarifying it clearly? "
While speaking, Zhao Junchen also stared at Wu Yingxiong closely, his attitude not giving in at all.
Zhao Junchen actually knew very well that Wu Yingxiong's accusation was not without purpose.
From the beginning, this war was in Zhao Junchen's plan, and he had long expected the misery and suffering of the people in the war zone, but Zhao Junchen still promoted the plan without hesitation.
However, under the training of officialdom, Zhao Junchen's character is already a little distorted compared to ordinary people. The more guilty he is, the more righteous he speaks! ….
What's more, the implication of Zhao Junchen's words is also very clear.
Liaodong Town's self-respect for supporting troops and the Wu family's ambition in Shanhaiguan. No matter if any of these factors were missing, the situation in Liaodong would not have developed to the current stage.
If Liaodong Town had not relied on its own troops to support its troops, could not lose its power, sucked the imperial government's finances, and brutally exploited the people of Liaodong for a long time, why would Zhao Junchen have promoted the civil strife in Liaodong Town?
If it weren't for the Shanhaiguan Wu family's ambitious plan to annex Liaodong Town, which was about to fight each other and kill each other, why would Zhao Junchen deliberately invite the Jurchens from Jianzhou to invade and force all the forces to unite with the outside world?
I, Zhao Junchen, only wanted to achieve long-term stability for the court and the people, so I caused the short-term pain in the situation in Liaodong. I also just wanted to reverse the out-of-control situation in Liaodong at the minimum cost, so I had no choice but to let some people in the war zone bear the suffering of the war.
If it is said that I, Zhao Junchen, indirectly contributed to this war, then do Liaodong Town and the Wu family in Shanhaiguan also need to bear indirect responsibility?
Furthermore, the past dynasties who personally shaped the existing situation in Liaodong region
Are the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and court officials also indirectly responsible?
All in all, if you want to hold direct responsibility, then I, Zhao Junchen, am just a civil servant, and all the responsibilities of Liaodong Border Defense have nothing to do with me; if you want to hold indirect responsibility, then everyone must bear the responsibility, and no one can escape. Don't think about putting the blame on me alone.
Wu Yingxiong is a smart man. Of course he understands what Zhao Junchen means. He has understood these principles from the beginning, but he still thinks that Zhao Junchen is arrogant.
The reason is also very simple, that is, when Zhao Junchen made the plan, there must be more plans to control the situation in Liaodong, but some plans are too costly for Zhao Junchen, and some plans have too little benefit for Zhao Junchen. There are also some plans that are too slow to take effect for Zhao Junchen.
In the end, the method Zhao Junchen chose was to deliberately promote civil strife in Liaodong Town and lure the Jurchens from Jianzhou to raise troops. This method was cheaper, more profitable, and more effective for him, but the disadvantage was that it caused A border trouble triggered a war, killing a large number of soldiers on the battlefield, and causing heavy losses to the people in the war zone.
All in all, among various solutions, Zhao Junchen finally chose the one that was most harmful to others and benefited himself.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen is the culprit of this war!
However, seeing Zhao Junchen's determined attitude of not making any progress, Wu Yingxiong couldn't help but hesitate, wondering whether he should continue to confront Zhao Junchen face to face.
If you want Zhao Junchen to have an uneasy conscience and feel guilty, the premise is that Zhao Junchen has a conscience and is reasonable. But it is obvious that Zhao Junchen has no conscience at all and is not unreasonable at all.
Wanting to use moral kidnapping to force Zhao Junchen to give in, the premise is that Zhao Junchen values morality and justice, but it is obvious that Zhao Junchen does not value this stuff at all.
Under such circumstances, if we continue to confront Zhao Junchen face to face, the underlying reasons for many things will definitely become known to the world. This situation will not do anyone any good.
Thinking of this, Wu Yingxiong thought that he should not argue directly with Zhao Junchen anymore. Some things were better left unsaid. As long as he continued to cause all kinds of troubles and kept Zhao Junchen in Liaodong, Zhao Junchen would be unable to leave. Sooner or later, he will bow his head and submit. There is no need to argue with Zhao Junchen in words. ….
After having such thoughts in his mind, Wu Yingxiong decided not to argue with Zhao Junchen anymore, but just wanted to find a step for himself so that he could end the argument decently.
At this time, Li Zehe, who was behind Zhao Junchen, took the initiative to take on the task of peacemaking and said loudly: "From my humble opinion, this war is entirely the responsibility of the Jianzhou Jurchens. Whether it is a direct or indirect cause, they are all related to Jianzhou." The Jurchens in Jianzhou are inseparable from the relationship. The reason for the civil strife in Liaodong Town was all because the Jurchens in Jianzhou plotted to kidnap Mr. He, so they quickly received the news and took advantage of the chaos to raise troops to invade... These things have long been investigated clearly. , the conclusion has long been finalized, without any controversy!
I believe that what Governor Wu really means is that just because the Jianzhou Jurchens have planned the invasion for a long time, they should not be spared easily, while what Zhao Gechen means is that we are not sure of victory yet, so we still have to It is necessary to continue to accumulate strength and wait until the strength is sufficient before looking for opportunities to retaliate against the Jianzhou Jurchens. Therefore, the ideas of Governor Wu and Zhao Gechen are not contradictory. Both adults are loyal to the emperor and love the people, so there is no need to argue anymore. It is a misunderstanding. That's all..."
Hearing what Li Zehe said, it gave both parties a chance to step up. Wu Yingxiong nodded slightly in approval and wanted to take the opportunity to end the argument.
But Zhao Junchen was still unwilling to give up.
However, Zhao Junchen did not continue to pester Wu Yingxiong, but once again targeted Ximen Sheng.
"What General Li said is reasonable. This dispute between me and Governor Wu is indeed meaningless, but... General Ximen, your work is not over yet!"
Zhao Junchen seemed to be particularly hostile to Ximen Sheng and stared at Ximen Sheng to find fault. He said coldly: "I have read the battle reports of the Fushun battlefield and found that when the soldiers of all armies faced the Jianzhou Jurchens, whether it was the generals of Shanhaiguan, All the generals in Liaodong Town have outstanding military exploits and have made many achievements, but only you, General Ximen, are clearly the
The commander-in-chief of the defense area has made no achievements from beginning to end!
This makes this pavilion a little suspicious. General Ximen Ginseng, you are timid and afraid of the enemy, and you are slacking off in battle. Now the people in Jiubing Town have come to this pavilion to cry out and complain about their grievances. This has further confirmed that you are not guarding the land well and protecting the people. You are responsible for your crime, so I will never sit idly by and ignore it, let alone listen to your sophistry. We must investigate it to the end! "
No one knows why Zhao Junchen deliberately targeted Ximen Sheng. Ximen Sheng himself laughed angrily and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Since Zhao Gechen is still pretending not to know, then you don't want to quibble with your humble position! Zhao Gechen is straightforward." Just say it, how do you want to severely punish those who are humble?"
Zhao Junchen sneered and said: "If you want to prove that you are not afraid of the enemy, then personally lead the defenders of the North Road Defense Area under your command, immediately send troops to pursue the retreating Jurchen army of Jianzhou, and avenge the people of Jiubing Town... …do you dare?"
After hearing this, everyone present was shocked!
Zhao Junchen's decision was no longer deliberately aimed at Ximen Sheng. Just relying on the defenders of the North Road Defense Zone to pursue the Jianzhou Jurchen army would simply send Ximen Sheng to his death!
After Ximen Sheng was stunned for a long time, he also thought that Zhao Junchen wanted to kill him. He became even more furious and said, "Zhao Junchen! You are going too far! Do you really think that I dare not fight you to the death?"
In a rage, Ximen Sheng not only called Zhao Junchen by his name, but even threatened Zhao Junchen in public.
Zhao Junchen sneered and asked: "The fish is dead and the net is broken? With this pavilion? In other words...General Ximen Ginseng, you would rather live and die with this pavilion than dare to fight with the Jianzhou Jurchen? In this case, this pavilion says you are The shame of the border troops is that you are timid and fearful of the enemy, so what’s wrong with that?”
