No war, no peace, paying tribute, holding imperial examinations...
As soon as the Emperor Jinling unleashed his four ultimate moves, the knowledgeable people in the southeast all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Bianliang people who followed Zhao Huan to the south somewhat missed their homeland, the "flooding of Kaifeng" caused great psychological harm to them... This is heartbreaking!
Kaifeng Mansion is their sad place!
Although Kaifeng Mansion was not really flooded, these Bianliangzi who followed Zhao Huan south knew that they would never go back... I dare not!
The days when Kaifeng Mansion was threatened by a great flood, and the way they followed the emperor to escape from Kaifeng Mansion, made all of them realize the reality that they were cowards!
They originally thought that the officials were cowards, the treacherous officials were cowards, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who could eat but not fight were cowards. But the shouts of "The flood is coming" made them realize that they were also cowards.
They are afraid of the Yellow River floods!
They are afraid of the tens of thousands of golden soldiers who have occupied the Wannian Xindi and are preparing to release water...
When they knew that "the flood was coming" (actually it was not coming), they didn't even think of finding out whether the flood was coming, but they just thought of running!
When the Jin soldiers occupied the embankment and were about to release the water, some Bianliang men stepped forward and joined Li Gang's camp soldiers... However, none of the Bianliangzi who have sneaked to Jinling now have been there for ten thousand years. The battlefield of New Causeway.
Therefore, the Bianliangzi who died in the battle at Wannianxindi were brave, while the Bianliangzi who fled to the south of the Yangtze River were cowardly.
Now that you have recognized your "cowardice", don't force Zhao Huan, who is as cowardly as you are, to become the "Great Song Guangwu"... And someone seems to have done it to the "Great Song Guangwu", no. It’s up to Jinling Emperor Zhao Huan to join in the fun.
Isn't it enough that Zhao Huan can be a Pianan emperor who loves his people like his own son and allows the people who survived the disaster to live and work in peace and contentment in their new homes?
At least in the eyes of the Bianliang people who followed Zhao Huan, they could get a small piece of land for building houses in Jinling New City, which stands along the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River. Civilians without any means of livelihood could live in the newly built Sanya As a "peace soldier" in the army, the Bianliang scholar-bureaucrats with some background could get the opportunity to serve as officials here with Zhao Huan, and they would be satisfied.
The Northern Expedition...can't beat it!
He can't defeat a gold thief, and now there is another emperor of Chang'an, Zhao Kai... I heard that all the elite soldiers in Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi of the Song Dynasty have returned to him, and he still beats him!
For the local scholar-officials and ordinary people in the southeast... Does it matter if they can really live and work in peace and contentment and live a stable life during the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to defeat thieves and destroy the captives?
We in the southeast are warm and prosperous, and the people are happy. We have no desire for the land in the north, and we don’t want to pay more taxes for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains... let alone live a good life and serve as soldiers for the Emperor Zhao. , isn’t that going to death?
Besides, the "thief" in the Central Plains seems to be the biological brother of the Emperor of Jinling and the third son of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Song Dynasty! Wouldn't it be nice to let him lead the northwest warriors to drive away the captives? When the time comes, Zhao Kai will be Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and Zhao Huan will be the empress of Chen. How wonderful it will be!
Of course, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of our homeland are ultimately a matter of great righteousness!
Even if Zhao Huan has decided to sit in Jiangdong for the rest of his life, he still has to shout a few slogans in vain, but what slogans he shouts is also a matter of knowledge, and he has to be right. It is necessary not only to block the mouth of the main war faction, but also to appease the people of the Southeast...
"King Gou Jian of Yue gathered together for ten years and learned lessons for ten years before he finally had to take revenge and become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period..."
In Jinling City, the original Yamen of Jiangning Prefecture has now become Zhao Huan's temporary palace, and the lobby has become his Chongzheng Hall. In this Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Huan faced dozens of important ministers who followed him and suddenly told the story of King Gou Jian of Yue.
He cast his eyes on Li Gang, who had just arrived in Jinling yesterday, and paused for a moment, "I just want to use 'Ten years of gatherings, ten years of lessons' as the policy topic for the second year of the Jingkang exam... I think you all thought how?"
All the ministers were stunned!
The Jingkang Second Year Examination is still several months away. How can you bring up the topic of strategy in Chongzheng Hall?
This will get around!
At that time, the candidates will have written the article in advance and memorized it... This is cheating!
Li Gang, who had come all the way from Xiapi, already understood Zhao Huan's thoughts, and immediately raised his hands and said, "Guan family, isn't twenty years too long? The Golden Thief and Chang'an..."
Having said this, Li Gang suddenly frowned. He didn't know how to address Zhao Kai.
"General Tiance," Zhao Huan said, "brothers, please don't speak ill of each other, lest the gold thief laughs at you and call him General Tiance!"
After he finished speaking, Qin Hui, who was standing in the hall, narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Emperor of Jinling said again: "With General Tiance here, the golden thief will not be able to survive... If I can make good use of these twenty years, I will definitely be able to avenge the late emperor!"
This is setting a national policy!
Now all the ministers understand!
The national policy of Zhao Huan, the emperor of Jinling, was to "sit in the southeast for twenty years"...but at the same time, he did not forget to go north to restore the Central Plains.
Zhao Huan treated the two enemies in the west and north differently... although the family had to pay an annual tribute of 3 million yuan. But Zhao Kai is the "Heavenly Strategy General" and Jin Ren is a thief!
You really can't beat Sui Gong...
But Zhao Huan has never forgotten that the Jin man was his father-killing enemy... Although he is cowardly, it is legitimate to win the country!
There is no "One Saint" in the hands of the gold thief who can threaten him, only Zhao Gou... But he is Laojiu, and a lot of his brothers above him have to die to reach him.
Therefore, Zhao Huan's empire was not picked up, he had to sit upright.
He couldn't do anything like "killing Kai Yanhe", at least it couldn't be done openly.
"I don't know how the officials want to make a living together? How can they teach me a lesson?" Li Gang asked humbly, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Zhao Huan is twenty-seven or eighty years old this year. He is already the eldest king and has been a prince for many years. Everyone knows his skills... He can't fight, but he is fine in other aspects. Previously, he used thunderous means to kill six thieves, and now Gan Gang has arbitrarily adopted the policy of "no war, no peace, payment of tribute, and opening of imperial examinations", so Li Gang dare not not take him seriously.
"The ruler is the most important, the people are the first, and the country is second..." Zhao Huan said eloquently, "I will also follow Mencius's words to govern the southeast. We should first let the people in the southeast live and work in peace and contentment, and then have more money at home. Get some of the remaining wealth to replenish the national treasury. When the national treasury is sufficient, you can recruit strong men and train them rigorously. At the same time, you can build enough weapons for the strong men to use. With well-trained soldiers, adequate weapons, and sufficient food and pay, the Northern Expedition will naturally succeed in one fell swoop. .
I have read through the history of the Eastern Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and found that the success of the Northern Expedition lay in one single move. It will fail again and again! In the past, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger. If he could do it in one go, who could defeat him in Hu Xia or Northern Wei? It's a pity that the Northern Expedition between Song and Wu was abandoned halfway...
The situation today is similar to that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty...the north is chaotic and the southeast is peaceful. If I want to surpass Liu Yu, I must accumulate enough strength in order to succeed in one fell swoop. I must not blindly expedition to the north without strength, which is a waste of strength. "
Li Gang was speechless... When he ran to Xuzhou last time, he said that he wanted to imitate the Overlord of Chu, but in the end, he didn't commit suicide in Wujiang River, but instead ran to Jiangdong to become the king of Pianan.
Now I have to learn from Liu Yu... It seems that your brother Zhao Kai is more like Liu Yu!
Zhao Huan knew that none of the ministers believed in him, so he said loudly: "Now that there is a general in the north to contain the gold thieves, it should be able to last for ten or twenty years... In this case, why don't I manage the land east of the Yangtze River first? , gather another 200,000 elite soldiers from the North Mansion, save tens of millions of grain, fodder, and goods, and then wait for the opportunity to make the Northern Expedition and join forces with Tiance to hunt the Central Plains. Why worry about not avenging the great enemy?"
"The official family," Geng Nanzhong, who had fulfilled his wish to become the Grand Prime Minister of the East Palace, echoed, "the official family is a sage! In the past, he was a small Western thief, but our dynasty still failed to win after hundreds of years of conquest. Today's golden thieves are so powerful, Anyone who talks extravagantly about the Northern Expedition without having twenty years to recuperate and strengthen his troops is really a traitor to the country!"
"Ms. Geng said something serious!" Zhao Huan knew that Geng Nanzhong was about to attack Li Gang, so he quickly stopped him.
Zhao Huan can't punish Li Gang now... Although this guy is defeated every time he fights, he loses his territory and his official family!
But Li Gang has always been a strong supporter of Zhao Huan!
Standing on the right side is more important than anything else!
If Zhao Huan severely punishes Li Gang now, then he will not be the emperor of Jinling. Who among his subordinates is not a traitor who harms the country? We might as well just vote for Zhao Kai!
Geng Nanzhong also understood Zhao Huan's intentions - he didn't really want to pursue the case, he just wanted to give Li Gang a beating to stop him from shouting about beating and killing all day long.
"Officials," He Li, who succeeded Geng Nan Zhongzhi in the Privy Council, said, "I think that with the current strength of the imperial court, restoration is indeed a luxury. Instead of extravagant talk of restoration, it is better to discuss how to preserve half of the southeastern half of the country."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace frowned.
"He Qing, what good plan do you have?" Zhao Huan asked.
Of course He Li has a good plan, he is the number one scholar! When Zhao Huan became the prince, he knew that he had a way, so he had long wanted him to come to Beijing to assist the emperor. However, due to the siege of Kaifeng and his subsequent escape, there was no chance to use him. It wasn't until Zhao Huan crossed the Huaihe River that he recruited him from Taizhou and discussed military strategies with him. Only when he knew he had the means did he appoint him as Yuanshu.
He Li immediately spoke up and said: "In the official family, I proposed to establish four general administrators of Huaidong, Huaixi, Jinghu and Jiangnan to lead the military and also manage civil affairs. At the same time, we should establish the Yangtze River System Envoy and the Coastal System Envoy. The former The latter is in charge of the Yangtze River Navy, and the latter is in charge of the Coastal Navy. In this way, the southeastern defense can be organized in an orderly manner, and it will be much easier to rectify or expand it later."
"Who will serve as the four general managers and the two commanders?" Zhao Huan asked.
He Li said: "All the four general managers should be civil servants. I am willing to lead one of them, and there are three more. I recommend Li Shixiang, Zhang Shuye and Wang Boyan to serve. As for the two commanders, they can be served by military generals... ..I don’t know the general’s talents, so I won’t recommend him.”
Zhao Huan nodded and looked at Li Gang again, "Li Qing, which branch are you willing to be the general manager of?"
