After Wan Yanliang left his servants behind, he retreated to the left and right sides.
So only he and Pusanhutu were left here.
Walking to the entrance of the palace, feeling the cool breeze that gradually brought some winter chill, Wan Yanliang felt the breath of winter.
"I feel that the rebellion in Shandong and Hebei this time is very serious. Since the rebellion has spread to Hebei, I think the chaos in Shandong is likely to be beyond control. In the worst case, Shuhu Siji may be dead. , Shandong collapsed across the board."
Pusanhutu was stunned when he heard this.
He saw Wan Yanliang clenching his fists, gritting his teeth, and his face was filled with anger.
"I even suspected that Shandong officials were colluding and deliberately kept me from knowing the truth, just because they were afraid that I would punish them if I knew the truth! They wanted to put down the rebellion while I didn't know it, but they failed and were defeated by the rebels instead! "
Pu San suddenly felt his heart pounding.
Following the emperor's thinking, he felt that this hypothesis really matched the working style of those local officials.
But he didn't want that.
"Your Majesty, this...isn't this serious? Shandong itself can mobilize tens of thousands of regular soldiers, and countless signed troops. Shuhusiji is a tiger general, so how many people can there be in the rebellion? And it’s all a mob, how can it be possible for Shandong to collapse across the board?”
Wan Yanliang frowned and walked around uneasily.
"This is the worst case scenario I suspect. If the situation is better, maybe the Shandong thieves are forced to go to Hebei. But if they take the initiative to go to Hebei, it can only be said that Shandong is over."
"Shandong is over..."
Pusan Hutu suddenly felt that the matter was serious and said: "If Shandong collapses, the rebels will be the second most important threat. The Song State in the south is the biggest threat. If the Song State knows about the rebellion in Shandong, what will they do if they can't protect everyone!"
"I'm just worried that the Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to go north and get involved in Shandong, and then try to restore the Central Plains."
Wan Yanliang took a deep breath: "Although Zhao Gou is courageless, there are still some knowledgeable people and capable soldiers in the Southern Kingdom. These people are always plotting to restore the Central Plains. If the Shandong chaos spreads too much, the Southern Kingdom will not There may be no action.”
"Your Majesty, this is a big deal!"
Pusanhutu became nervous.
"Of course this is a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't have kept you here."
Wanyan Liang walked to Pu Sanhutu and said: "Although it has not been confirmed yet, I feel that the southward attack on the Song Dynasty must be stepped up. Once the situation is confirmed, the southward attack on the Song Dynasty and the counterinsurgency will become the same thing. , put down the rebellion first, and then attack the Song Dynasty!"
Pusanhutu was greatly surprised when he heard this.
"Fighting the Song Dynasty?"
Pusan Hutu had long heard the news that the emperor intended to attack the Song Dynasty and was preparing for the attack, but he felt that Wanyan Liang would not launch a large-scale national war so easily. This should be just a rumor.
It turned out to be true!
He was a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, of course it is imperative to counter the rebellion, but the attack on the Song Dynasty... is a big deal. Shouldn't we think more about it before making a decision?"
"This is a decision I made after much thought."
Wan Yanliang said: "As time goes by, the strong generals and elite soldiers who are good at fighting are gradually getting older. Years of not fighting have made my people more and more weak. They are proud of dancing with writing and writing, and are ashamed of dancing with guns and sticks. Everyone He studied the decoration of Han scribes and was arty, but did not want to ride horses, shoot arrows, and practice battle formations.
This situation makes me very worried. I am very worried that soon, when all the old people who have experienced the founding war of the People's Republic of China have passed away, will the new generation of tribesmen still have the brave spirit? This spirit is an important support for maintaining our country. Without this kind of support, how could the Kingdom of Jin be established?
While there are still veteran generals and veterans in the army, and there are veterans like the old minister in the court who can rely on, we must seize the opportunity to destroy the Southern Kingdom and unify the world, then the Great Jin Kingdom will no longer have worries, otherwise, in the future, There is enmity between our country and the Southern Kingdom, and the Southern Kingdom will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate. "
Pusanhutu never expected that Wanyan Liang was thinking about such a profound issue.
He thought Wan Yanliang was thinking about how to kill people and consolidate power all the time, but he didn't expect that he was also thinking about the future of the country and nation.
This made Pu Sanhu Tu deeply touched.
"I never thought that His Majesty would have such considerations."
"Of course I will not launch a large-scale war for no reason. I also know that if I want to attack the Song Dynasty, I must go all out and mobilize all available troops to attack south. Only in this way can I have hope of victory.
This war will definitely cost a lot, but as long as we can annex the Southern Kingdom, unification of the world will no longer be a luxury. After annexing the Southern Kingdom, our national strength will greatly increase. We can take Xia from the west, Korea from the east, and the grasslands from the north, and the world will be in chaos. 1. I shall be the only lord of China! "
Wan Yanliang walked to his desk and punched the desk, shaking the thick desk.
Pusanhutu took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his heart.
What surprised Wan Yanliang was his target.
The fear is that from now on, the world may not be peaceful again.
A national war must involve the mobilization of the whole country. Those fierce and powerful military households obviously need to be fully mobilized. Every household must recruit soldiers, and every household must send war horses, money and goods, which will inevitably cause large-scale riots. .
It would be okay if we win this battle, but if we lose...
Today's Jin Army is no longer the original Jin Army. Everyone is rich and has property. It is no longer the state where a poor man could risk his life for a little land and property.
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to go to war and follow him south to conquer the Song Dynasty?
Based on the atmosphere between the DPRK and China that he has felt over the years, everyone is becoming less and less willing to fight and want to live in peace. No one is willing to start a war unless it is absolutely necessary.
The Jin court that was so enterprising and often asked to go south to conquer the Song Dynasty no longer exists.
Pusanhutu lamented Wanyanliang's ambition, but also felt very worried, thinking that Wanyanliang was causing trouble for himself and others by doing this.
However, Wan Yanliang was furious, and Pu San Hu Tu did not dare to dissuade him, but could only allow his ambition to become more and more determined.
After leaving the palace, Pusan suddenly felt uneasy thinking about it, so he went to the government office and found Zuo Chenghe, Shi Lieliangbi, the minister.
Heshi Lieliangbi was an official promoted by Wanyan Liang himself and favored him quite a lot. He was very capable, well-behaved and well-liked by Wanyan Liang. Therefore, Pusanhutu believed that Heshi Lieliangbi had some advice to Wanyan. Bright possibility.
Heshi Lieliangbi was surprised to learn that Pusanhutu was visiting, so he went out to greet him personally, and then learned the purpose of Pusanhutu's visit.
"Your Majesty really wants to march south? Do you want to mobilize the whole country?"
"How can your Majesty's words be false?"
Pu Sanhu Tu sighed and said: "I thought that the country's fate was difficult and everything was complicated. It was really not the time to send troops to the south. If the whole country was mobilized for the south expedition, I don't know how much resentment it would cause among the people. A little Inadvertently, internal strife breaks out before external troubles are eliminated. What will happen then?"
Heshi Lieliangbi thought for a moment and felt that what Pusan Hutu said made sense.
Of course, destroying the Song State was not an incorrect thing. Heshi Lieliangbi did not think Wan Yanliang's strategy was wrong. Of course, the Jin Ting should take the elimination of the Song State as its grand strategic goal. At this level, he did not think there was a problem.
However, in terms of the implementation plan, Heshi Lieliangbi did not support this overwhelming model.
For a mature country like the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to expect a decisive battle.
Unless you are sure of victory, you cannot devote all your troops to a battle. Instead, you should use small-scale bloodletting tactics to continuously harass the Song Dynasty's borders and make them unsafe. When Song Dynasty is exhausted, another battle will determine the outcome.
And more importantly, the Jin government continued to grant land to Jurchen households, allowing them to live and work in peace and contentment and live an agricultural life. They are now basically agricultural landlords and live a happy and satisfying life without unnecessary desires.
They just want to live a happy life, their wives and children, and they don't want to throw their heads and blood in a bloody war.
Recruitment at this time will inevitably cause a huge backlash among the people. If you are not careful, it can easily lead to a civil uprising. By then, the war has not yet started, and the country is already full of smoke.
So what should we do?
