People like Zhao Kai were talking about taking advantage of the victory to attack two days ago, and now they are hanging out with Zhao Ji to inquire about peace negotiations.

Is not this contradictory?

This is really not a contradiction.

Because they themselves are capitulationists, they always talk about taking advantage of the victory and attack on the spur of the moment. If they really believe their lies, they will end up trapping themselves.

Moreover, Zhao Ji's behavior today must be due to some ministers chewing his tongue behind his back.

Zhao Ning knew in his heart that if he killed several ministers, some of them would definitely jump to the throne of the Supreme Emperor who had abdicated.

The reason is very simple.

After Li Yuan abdicated the throne, there were still a large group of ministers who were dissatisfied with Li Shimin and tried every means to support Li Yuan again.

What's more, Zhao Ji has only abdicated for a year, and his influence is still very great.

This problem cannot be solved now unless Zhao Ji is killed.

But the risk of killing Zhao Ji is too great. If word spreads and people know about it, Zhao Ning's prestige will plummet, especially his reputation among the people.

Patricide is a taboo in human relations.

This is a move that will lead to the same fate, and it will only make Zhao Kai the biggest beneficiary.

You would do that if you have a brain defect.

Is there no solution then?

Of course it's not unsolvable.

The emphasis in political games is not to kill the opponent immediately, but to carefully plan and develop one's own power.

Politics is a zero-sum game, where one loses and the other rises.

When one's own power becomes strong enough, the other party's power will naturally become weaker and weaker.

For example, Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's rise to power was definitely not due to him killing the prince.

Killing Prince Li Jiancheng was just the result.

The reason is that he single-handedly created the Tang Dynasty. He has many powerful generals and has a high prestige.

Even if Li Shimin was unwilling to kill Li Jiancheng, the group of people who followed Li Shimin to create the Tang Dynasty would not agree.

After all, I have been loyally assisting you, Prince Qin, and what I am waiting for is to be in the imperial court in the future, rather than just being a subordinate of your Prince Qin's palace.

Therefore, what we can do now is to continuously cultivate our own power internally and constantly weaken the power of the past.

When the power of the past was weakened to a certain extent, it would be useless for Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai to jump around every day.

Just after returning from Yanfu Palace, I found that Wang Huaiji had sent a large number of memorials.

The ministers no longer play with secrets, but directly report.

A letter was handed over, analyzing the situation at hand in various lengths.

There are mainly two voices: First, the officials, it is not us who are taking the initiative to negotiate for peace, and it is not us who are disturbing the morale of the military, but the other party is taking the initiative to propose peace. The officials should think twice. This is a rare opportunity!

Second, the Jin people took the initiative to propose peace, indicating that the Jin people could no longer hold on, so they might as well take the initiative to send troops immediately.

After Zhao Ning read a few copies, he began to doze off.

There is absolutely no motivation to continue reading, cliche and utopian.

This shows the current corruption of the Song Dynasty officials!

This broken ship is carrying a bunch of opportunists who don't do anything.

Zhao Ning picked up his pen and continued to write an analysis of the battle situation at hand.

The most important thing right now is the stability of the overall situation, and he doesn't expect officials to have any solution.

The most important thing is to maintain the current morale and united front among the people, and continue to convey his judgment of the situation so that most people can understand it and not be incited by some clowns to cause trouble.

On December 6, a new article in the "Tokyo Daily News" came out: "On the Early Stage of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties."

This article objectively and comprehensively analyzes the Battle of Song and Jin Dynasties, from space to time, from dual perspectives, and explains it from many aspects, and it is easy to understand.

Zhao Ning divided the battle between Song and Jin into three stages:

1. In the early stage, the Jin army was strong on the frontal battlefield.

Second, in the stalemate stage, the Song Army established a deep defensive military town, and both sides invested massive resources.

Three, the decisive stage.

The detailed content is still focused on the initial stage.

The general content is as follows:

1. In the battle between Song, Jin and Liao, the Song Dynasty united with the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty. This strategy was wrong.

Zhao Ning completely rejected the previous maritime alliance.

Second, during the battle between Song and Jin, the Song Dynasty thought that money could be used to exchange for Yanyun's hometown, which was wrong. The Jin people were greedy.

Third, a weak country has no diplomacy. Peace negotiation is a diplomatic method, but it must be based on reciprocal force. Now there are quite a number of capitulationists in the country under the guise of peace negotiation. They want to squeeze money from the people.

Come and give it to the Jin people so that they can live in peace and contentment, but they themselves will not pay a penny!

Fourth, the quick-war and quick-decision faction is also wrong. The Song Dynasty did not have the strength to fight the Jin people head-on. We must understand this objectively and look at it rationally.

At the same time, we must find out the weaknesses of Jin people and give full play to their strengths.

The weakness of the Jin people is that when they entered the Song Dynasty, the battle line was too long, and the Jin people's administrative ability could not keep up. People in Hebei and Hedong all yearned for the Song Dynasty.

5. In the first Battle of Tokyo, the enemy penetrated deep into the territory of the Song Dynasty. It was a military adventure. When Wanyan Zongwang withdrew his troops, the Song Dynasty should fight back with all its strength. This would make the Jin people afraid of using troops against the Song Dynasty next time.

It’s time to use a rat-proof weapon.

Zhao Ning also denied the appeasement policy at the beginning of this year. At that time, Wanyan Zongwang's 60,000-strong army failed to capture Tokyo City and retreated northward in a hurry. Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others were unwilling to pursue them, and ordered the towns along the way not to fight the Jin people.

It is equivalent to letting Wanyan Zongwang go directly.

Sixth, the Jin people went south for the second time because the attitude shown by the Song Dynasty was too weak, which made the Jin people think that we were easy to bully and could do whatever we wanted.

7. The Jin people besieged the city and resorted to siege and reinforcements (at this time, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was blocked in Tongguan by Wanyan Loushi). The Jin people hoped to use force to siege the city and make us feel scared, and then send people to pretend to negotiate peace with us.

Relax, disintegrate us internally.

This caused a large number of surrender factions to breed in the court, causing us to consume each other internally.

What we have to do is to resolutely unite the united front and unite all forces that can be united.

The Jin people want to fight quickly, but we must not fight quickly. We have to consume the Jin people.

Regarding peace negotiations, when the force of force is not equal, peace negotiations are equivalent to surrender, and the Jin people will definitely make conditions for us to give huge amounts of gold, silver, and silk, and even ask us to give them our women.

8. The purpose of war is nothing else but to "preserve oneself and destroy the enemy."

Nine, we are now in the early stages of the Song-Jin War.

At this stage, our country's military force has been weakened for a long time, and we will continue to lose to the Jin people on the frontal battlefield. This is normal, and it is also the price of our useless martial arts for a hundred years. You don't need to worry.

The Jin people would use their powerful cavalry mobility to drive straight into Hebei and Hedong, and they would be invincible.

At this stage, they can capture the three towns of Hebei and Hedong.

Then the main war faction headed by Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan wanted to break through Tokyo City and plunder huge wealth. Han Chinese officials headed by Liu Yanzong and Shi Liai must fully assist them in order to gain a foothold in the Jin Dynasty court.

As long as we fight to the end, they will not be able to capture Tokyo City. King Qin's army from all directions is on its way, and the rebel forces in Hebei and Hedong are also fighting against the Jin with all their strength.

They penetrate deep into our territory of the Song Dynasty, and our soldiers and horses in Hebei and Hedong can engage in guerrilla warfare. They disperse and harass the enemy's rear in an irregular manner without confronting the enemy head-on, thus exhausting the enemy.

Thousands of people in our Song Dynasty provide us with intelligence.

10. After the Jin army is exhausted, it will face a food crisis and its morale will be shaken. Moreover, as the temperature rises, the Jin people will feel unwell and will withdraw their troops. Before withdrawing, they want to scare us and extort a huge sum of money from us.

, let’s not be fooled.

11. After the Jin people withdraw, they will support a puppet dynasty north of the Yellow River to check and balance the Han people there, and will focus on developing the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhending, and Zhongshan in preparation for continuing to move south in the coming year.

As soon as this article came out, it caused an unprecedented sensation in Tokyo.

Not only the common people rushed to tell each other, but also the peace negotiators such as Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong immediately bought and watched it.

Even Zhao Kai bought a copy and sent it to Yanfu Palace for Zhao Ji.

After reading it, Zhao Ji said disdainfully: "Absurd! He dared to publicize this completely irrelevant argument in the city. Not only did he lose the face of the royal family, but if things didn't develop like this, how would all the officials view him?"

Official family."

Zhao Kai said: "Father, the official family is becoming more and more willful. If things really get out of hand, please ask your father to come out and take charge of the overall situation. I have been chatting with hundreds of officials in the past few days, and everyone misses my father."
