Chapter 38: What I Fight Is War, What I Play Is Politics

Zhao Ji held today's Tokyo Daily in his hand. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let Zhao Huan continue to toss. If he continues to toss like this, he will lose his heart. There is no need for us to take action."

As soon as Zhao Kai heard Zhao Ji's remarks, he knew that Zhao Ji had completely given up on Zhao Huan.

When Zhao Ji evaluated Zhao Huan before, he criticized him a lot, but he did not mean to find a way to make him abdicate.

However, at this moment, there is no secret that he wants the current official to abdicate.

If the current official abdicates, Zhao Ji will naturally take over. After Zhao Ji takes over, the crown prince will definitely belong to Zhao Kai.

This is exactly what Zhao Kai dreams of.

After reading this article, everyone's attitude is completely different.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai think Zhao Ning is seeking death now.

Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong were shocked.

There are many places in this article that directly refute the policies of these two men.

For example, after the First Battle of Tokyo, Wanyan Zongwang's 60,000-strong army retreated northward in a hurry. Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong were unwilling to pursue them, and ordered the towns along the Hebei Province not to disturb the Jin people, and those who disobeyed the order would be killed.

The article criticized this behavior sharply, almost calling it a traitorous act.

There are also the so-called peace talks in the early stage, which were proposed by Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, and Li Bangyan, and they were also completely denied in this article.

After the officials who were attached to Tang Ke and others saw it, they felt that the official article almost missed their names.

As for Mo Chou, who was originally a peacemaker but immediately jumped to the main war camp and threatened to take the initiative, he was also criticized completely in this article.

In short, Zhao Ning used the most concise language to characterize everything that happened between the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and the second defense battle of Tokyo at this moment, and predicted the next behavior of the Jin people.

This convinced some people in the city, and their confidence immediately doubled.

In the afternoon, Wanyan Zonghan was inspecting the construction of the trebuchet, and Shi Liai hurried over.

"marshal!"

"What's the matter?"

Shi Liai held a copy of today's Tokyo Daily headlines in his hand and handed it to Wanyan Zonghan: "Marshal, look at this. It was sent out by the Song Army on its own initiative using the Divine Arm Crossbow."

Song Jun sent something out again?

Wanyan Zonghan smiled and said, "Have they agreed to negotiate peace?"

Li Ai doesn't speak at all.

Wanyan Zonghan took it over, opened it, and read it quickly.

After reading it, his face darkened.

He turned back to the commander's camp and informed all senior officers to gather.

Naturally, Wanyan Zongwang also received it, as he was the one who asked people to hand it over to Shi Liai.

The atmosphere in the camp was very solemn.

Everyone knows why Ningzhong is so dignified.

Because this article has made a very accurate summary of the past war between Song and Jin, and also made a prediction of the situation of the war between Song and Jin in the next six months.

This prediction, in the eyes of Zong Han, Zong Wang and others, or Shi Liai, Liu Yanzong and others, is simply irrefutable.

The name of Zhao Guan's family in the Shanghai office of this newspaper is tabulated.

It seems to be telling Zong Han and Zong Wang that I will do this next and the situation will develop in this direction. When the situation develops like this, you will do that.

If a Jin Army soldier knew these contents, he would definitely laugh at Zhao Guanjia as a fool for actually telling the enemy what he would do.

But Zong Han and Zong Wang would never laugh at them.

Because they all felt the power of the content in this newspaper, it seemed to tell you to put on more clothes when it's cold and to take off your clothes when it's hot.

You can't do it the other way around.

This is conspiracy.

I'm playing with you openly, and I'm not afraid that you know what I'm going to do next. Anyway, you can't escape your intelligence system about what I'm going to do next, so why don't I tell you how we will fight next.

If the last article "The Jin Army's Strategy to Attack the City" only analyzed the situation at that time, it made Zong Han and Zong Wang more or less think that the Zhao Guan family was playing tricks on them.

The article "On the Early Stage of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties" completely made Zong Han and Zong Wang think differently.

And they all knew why Song Jun sent such a newspaper to them.

The reason is very simple, let some of them believe the content in it, and then influence the attitude of the Jin Dynasty towards the Song Dynasty.

For example, Wanyan Zongwang always believed that the Jin Kingdom could not swallow up the Song Dynasty. He always wanted to support a puppet regime in the north to check and balance the Song Dynasty, and then make the Song Dynasty a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom, paying tribute every year.

If Tokyo City is still unable to be captured next, the troops will have to withdraw, and the situation will go according to Zhao Guan's prediction.

In this way, the behavior of the Jin people will be shrouded in the Zhao Guan family's prediction, which will be a very strong blow to their psychology.

And it will allow the peace faction in the Jin Dynasty's court to find reasons to begin to effectively check and balance the war faction.

So, war is an extension of politics.

You might think that Zhao Ning was just writing an article for people in the city to read, but in fact he wanted Zong Han and Zong Wang to see it, so that the Jin people and the He faction would raise their heads.

This is a political means.

Zong Han said: "What do you think of this article?"

Shi Liai said: "Marshal, this is a demonstration by Zhao Guan's family against us. I feel that the key to breaking the situation is to capture Tokyo City. As long as Tokyo City is captured, this article will be the gravedigger of Zhao Guan's family. We don't need to

If he takes action, all forces in Tokyo will make him miserable."

Liu Yanzong was about to speak when Wanyan Zongwang stopped him.

Wanyan Zongwang knew what he wanted to do if he couldn't capture it.

There is no point in discussing this issue now. We can only take it one step at a time.

Zong Han said: "That's right! Zhao Guanjia's behavior of using articles to demonstrate to us is very naive and weak in my opinion. The only thing that really plays a decisive role is strong force!"

Time flies by so fast, and it’s already mid-December.

Gao Qiu would go to the palace every day to report on the situation in the city, including the status of the people, how much food the people had in their homes, the public security in the city, etc.

Zhao Ning must understand these at all times. If someone instigates chaos at this juncture, he must be put out immediately and must not be taken lightly.

"How many people are there in the Imperial City Division now?"

"Reporting to the officials, there are currently 320 people."

"I will add more people to you, so be prepared."

"Yes, officials can rest assured, I will definitely control it well."

Zhao Ning wanted to turn the Imperial City Department into a yamen like the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, to further strengthen the emperor's control over intelligence and to strengthen the rapid handling of special cases.

As soon as Gao Qiu left, Zhao Ding came. He presented to the weapons supervisor the current manufacturing progress of trebuchets and thunderbolts.

Good guy, Wang Si’s execution ability is not weak!

In half a month, 360 units have been manufactured, with an average of 24 units per day.

The progress of Zhentian Lei is also very fast. 70,000 pieces have been produced, with an average of 4,667 pieces produced every day.

This speed of armaments made Zhao Ning very satisfied.
