After Yu Yunwen finished talking about his strategy, Chen Kangbo stared at him for a long time.
Severely punish corrupt officials.
Reduce taxes.
Restrict officials from misbehaving.
Good guy, every one of these is an attack on the bureaucracy, an attack on those with vested interests, an attack on themselves, and an attack on the bottom class of Guizhou and common people.
Can bureaucrats be willing?
Cutting off the meat of carnivores to feed the common people in Guizhou has never happened in the past one or two thousand years. This does not conform to the logic of the dynasty, so it is destined to be criticized.
As Yu Yunwen, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, it is difficult for people to understand that this is the meaning of the Privy Council when he says this. .
After Zhao Xun's reforms and the acquiescence of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the Privy Council now has a lot of power, and it handles a lot of money and materials, which is very enviable.
The greater the power and the heavier the responsibilities, the more people are watching them and the more people want to make them unhappy.
At present, the threat from the Ming Dynasty is very great, so those Qingliu admonishers did not open fire on the Privy Council. But if Yu Yunwen did this, the envy, jealousy, and hatred of the other bureaucrats towards the Privy Council would suddenly burst out.
Things were not going well for the Privy Council at that time.
So Chen Kangbo sighed.
"Binfu, you are going to put our entire Privy Council on fire."
"So, I dare not say."
Yu Yunwen smiled bitterly and said: "Prime Minister, I don't think the current situation can be solved by recruiting a large number of troops. The Song Dynasty has internal and external troubles, and the internal troubles have not been eliminated. How can we deal with the foreign troubles? The reason why the internal troubles are so serious is simply that Some people take it too far.”
"Some of the people you mentioned are a bit too much."
Chen Kangbo's words to Yu Yunwen meant that Men'er was clear.
But it was precisely because of Men'erqing that I realized that Yu Yunwen's meaning was somewhat politically incorrect.
"So I dare not say it."
Yu Yunwen repeated what he had just said, and then said with a wry smile: "Although Su Yonglin was so brutal that he killed countless people and shed blood in rivers, he would not die a good death, but there is no problem in punishing corrupt officials and purging officials.
The salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of previous dynasties, and were far superior to those of the Northern Dynasties. However, corruption was still fierce. Officials at all levels plucked out the imperial funds, and there were few who were not greedy for ink. This is also true. reality.
The salary is obviously generous, and you can be very decent with just the salary, so why do you have to be so greedy and cruel? If the salary is really not enough to survive, then of course there is nothing to say, but if the salary is so generous, it can only be said that the desire is hard to satisfy. "
When Chen Kangbo heard this, his eyes flickered, and he obviously had thoughts on his mind.
But when he thought of the hardships and crises behind this matter, he still sighed and shook his head.
"Binfu, you'd better not think too simply. If you think too simply, you will be the next Wang Anshi."
Yu Yunwen was silent when he heard this, but quickly said: "Although Wang Anshi failed and died, I think he lived an open and honest life, and lived a more meaningful life than many people. We were born in the midst of crisis. Do we have to watch the disaster happen?" Did the Song Dynasty do nothing after being overthrown by the Ming Dynasty?"
"Isn't that what you're doing now?"
Chen Kangbo sighed: "Isn't it what the imperial court does to allow the imperial court to pass the recruitment plan of more than 200,000 soldiers, to hold military examinations, to select military talents, and to make you a deputy privy envoy? If all these things are done between the two Years ago, could you have imagined this?"
Yu Yunwen was speechless for a moment.
What Chen Kangbo said makes sense. He would have never dared to imagine all of this two years ago.
Not to mention recruiting 200,000 troops, even 20,000 is still worth the quarrel among the scholar-bureaucrats in the court, arguing about who is right and who is wrong.
But is this the limit?
Is this the limit of the Song Dynasty?
It shouldn’t be!
"The Ming Dynasty's annexation of the Xia Kingdom was so smooth. It was so smooth that it made me tremble. The Xia Kingdom led by the Party members allowed them to annex the Xia Kingdom so smoothly. One can only imagine how terrifying their fallacies are.
Both the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were Han emperors. They had the same culture and race, and they did business with each other. Some people among the people did not even think that we were two countries. Once the Ming Dynasty's governance philosophy spread and became widely known, it would be devastating for the Song Dynasty. Disaster? "
Yu Yunwen looked at Chen Kangbo and spoke sincerely.
Chen Kangbo sighed.
"So, you want to destroy us first before the Ming Dynasty destroys the Song Dynasty?"
Yu Yunwen was stunned.
"Prime Minister, I..."
"Binfu, don't you think it's better for us to do it ourselves than for the Ming Dynasty to do it? No one can do this kind of thing. They have to risk the disapproval of the world. Wang Anshi has failed, and he will do it again. You, Yu Yunwen, will not succeed, and no one will support you."
Chen Kangbo patted Yu Yunwen on the shoulder: "Your idea is good, but the current national conditions of the Song Dynasty cannot support your idea. The Song Dynasty must now concentrate the power of all officials to fight against the Ming Dynasty. The spears in our hands must be unanimously directed towards To the outside, not inward, otherwise it will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy."
After saying that, Chen Kangbo sighed and left, leaving Yu Yunwen standing here alone.
After a while, Yu Yunwen clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and he seemed to have made some determination.
He also left here.
Within a few days, Zhao Min took the initiative to summon Yu Yunwen and asked him if he had any follow-up plans to destroy the Yellow River Dam in the Ming Dynasty.
"I've read your melodies. You said your previous plan wouldn't work. Is that really true?"
Zhao Xun obviously had never forgotten the destruction of the dam, hoping to use this plan with little investment and high effectiveness to consume the national power of the Ming Dynasty and delay the Ming Dynasty's move south.
However, Yu Yunwen, the proposer of the plan, thought that this move would not work, and he was very puzzled.
Yu Yunwen knew this very well.
"Officials, although this strategy is extremely effective, it is very difficult to implement. The most important thing is that the peasants and workers of the Ming Dynasty have no resentment in their hearts. Instigating them rashly will only expose our identity as a craftsman, so this strategy is indeed difficult to implement."
Zhao Gou showed dissatisfaction.
"Why are the people of the Ming Dynasty so evil? Can they do this kind of thing? Is Su Yonglin really going to be the emperor?"
Of course Yu Yunwen didn't know the answer to this question.
But he had another backup plan.
"Although this strategy doesn't work, the officials and ministers have another strategy."
"you say."
"Take the initiative to send people to destroy the Mingguo Dam. As long as they succeed in destroying even one part, they will be in a hurry and they will not be able to go south within three years."
In fact, there is no need for Yu Yunwen to say that Zhao Xi has thought about this method himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unreliable.
"Although this method is good, it is not without risks. Binfu, think about it, let alone how many people are needed to destroy the dam, even if it is destroyed, if it is found out that Da Song sent people there , I'm worried that Su Yonglin will go south and invade at all costs."
Yu Yunwen looked calm.
"I have a plan to break the situation."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Let the people of the Ming Dynasty destroy the dam of the Ming Dynasty by themselves. Even if the Ming Dynasty knows that there is someone behind it, what can it do?"
Zhao Min raised his eyebrows.
"Binfu, please tell me in detail."
"Guan Jia, weren't there some people from the Ming Dynasty who fled to the Song Dynasty some time ago? One or two thousand people escaped. These people are all real Ming people, born and raised. If they destroyed the Song Dynasty, Dam, then..."
Yu Yunwen did not continue, but Zhao Hao already understood what Yu Yunwen meant.
This is something Zhao Min never thought of.
And it's really interesting.
"You mean to send those Ming people who escaped to destroy the dam?"
Yu Yunwen nodded decisively.
"Yes, officials. As far as I know, the lives of those people in the Ming Dynasty are very unsatisfactory today. Because of the lack of property, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty. Currently, a large number of them can only rely on government subsidies to survive. If they were promised benefits, hundreds of people would die. Scholars are not hard to come by, and with my hatred for the Ming Dynasty, I don’t have to worry about whether this will happen."
Zhao Xing felt that this matter was quite confusing, but he was still a little confused.
"River embankments and dams cannot be destroyed by simply destroying them, and the Ming Dynasty will not be unprepared..."
"These people will receive special training before setting off. The Yellow River is thousands of miles long. It is impossible for someone to guard every place and every moment. As long as you are willing to look for it, there will always be opportunities."
Yu Yunwen said: "Although this matter is difficult, I firmly believe that nothing is impossible in the world. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I also think it is feasible. Once successful, it can give the Song Dynasty a few years of breathing space, enough to make the Song Dynasty Song trained a strong army."
