What this means is that it is a vague accusation that the navy regime has not changed its reckless nature. It seems that it is focused on the sea, but in fact it is based on robbery?
Before Guo Ning could say anything, Xu Ding's face darkened, he interrupted Jia She's words, and rebuked angrily: "How dare you! How dare you, a mere foreign minister, to slander the Duke of Zhou of Jin Dynasty like this?"
Jia She immediately stopped talking.
He is not the kind of person who is very courageous and dares to confront the heroes of the world. Otherwise, Li Yun and others would not have forced him to come to the North Kingdom with some small tricks. But there are some words that he has been holding back for a while.
He had always wanted to say that these financial speculations were just the beginning. He suppressed the rest of it, feeling a little resentful in his heart.
Xu Ding, who had been traveling with him these days, admired his talents. He really couldn't bear to see an official who also did practical things rashly offend Guo Ning and lose his head. Therefore, his angry rebuke was more protective.
However, Guo Ning was not actually angry.
From the perspective of ordinary people, once a heroic figure from a humble background reaches a high position, he will always be a little taboo about his family's past. But Guo Ning is really not taboo. It can even be said that he is very proud of his humble background and does not feel that
Ding Haijun found nothing wrong with the cleaning and squeezing of the Jurchen nobles’ stomachs in Zhongdu.
On that day, Guo Ning invaded Zhongdu. He indeed used the Mongols' looting and looting as a cover, and also blamed Shuhu Gaoqi for a lot of things. The profits he made, including food, copper coins, and various supplies, were astronomical.
number.
When the Mongolian army besieged the city, Xu Ding tried his best to think of a way out, even though he had to bear the reputation of selling his official position, but failed to obtain enough supplies to sustain him. Guo Ning was furious and grabbed it with a knife, and it was easy to get it.
In the view of the generals of Dinghai Navy, if Guo Ning had not defeated Genghis Khan in one fell swoop and then invaded Zhongdu, everything in the great Jin capital would have fallen into the hands of the Mongols. Not only Zhongdu City, but also the great Jin capital
Itself, Guo Ning snatched it back from the Mongols, so I harvested it wantonly, so what?
In fact, Guo Ning really doesn't care about what Jia She sees as an unworthy act, or what Xu Ding sees as something that can be done or not said. However, considering the relationship with many Jurchen generals and chiefs in the northeastern mainland, there is no need to publicize this kind of thing.
.
If you delve deeper into Ding Haijun’s experience of starting up, a smart person should know that Ding Haijun had already robbed him once when he supported the previous emperor on the throne. That robbery laid the foundation of Ding Haijun in Shandong, which is quite satisfying.
If I have to explain...
Seeing that the change of dynasty is just around the corner, how can the Jurchens hope to continue to be rich and prosperous for several generations? Unless they stand up for politics early and show sincerity, otherwise Ding Haijun will act in a vicious way, so what if they grab it openly?
When the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty changed dynasties, was the Jin Dynasty particularly self-denial? Or was the Jin Dynasty extraordinarily graceful when they invaded Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty?
He thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head at Jia She: "Jichuan, you should be familiar with history books. You should know that I am already very polite."
Xu Ding laughed loudly at the side, and when he was about to interrupt, Jia She gritted his teeth and finally said: "Duke Zhou should also know that what I care about is not what happens to the Jurchens."
Jia She was a citizen of the Song Dynasty, and he would never forget the shame of Jingkang. If he said he didn't care what happened to the Jurchens, he really didn't care.
The key to what he said just now is actually to point out that the Ding Navy is promoting maritime trade in name, but in fact it relies on its military power to continuously obtain looting profits and maintain a huge spread; in order to maintain this spread, the Ding Navy will sooner or later turn to the
Troops were deployed outside the territory, and the wealthy Song State was the first to bear the brunt.
Jia She has recently been in Zhongdu City and has undergone many inquiries from the Dinghai navy-related yamen. Xu Jin from the Recording Department personally took action and repeatedly inquired clearly about the layout of the Song Dynasty and the Huaihe River and even the internal affairs of the central military and political affairs.
Jia She also heard that his eldest son Jia Sidao, who was fresh and hot, had now become a powerful person in the sect of Prime Minister Shi. He was gathering together with several defeated generals of the Red Coat Army, planning to form a new army to control the situation.
Jianghuai, as part of the historical and political territory.
Until that time, Jia She still felt that for the Central Capital, it was only right to destroy the forces on Nanjing Road with all their strength. Guo Ning was so concerned about the situation in the south because he was worried about the decisive battle between the East and the West, which would give the Song Dynasty an opportunity to make profits.
, so military preparations must be made in advance.
But when he saw that Guo Ning had set up navy training subjects in the Imperial College, and even went into battle to practice gang fighting with others, it was almost as if he was ready. Jia She really couldn't deceive him.
While Xu Ding was watching the drill with great interest, Jia She was distracted and suddenly thought of a historical fact:
If we compare the current situation of the world to the situation hundreds of years ago when the Yuan and Wei Dynasties were divided into east and west and Xiao Liang was in the south, we can find that the reason why the two families of the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties formed a situation of continuous battles and endless battles is that there is one key point.
That is, the two Wei Dynasties in the East and West compete for the orthodoxy of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, and then use this to promote their destiny and maintain the stability of their own regimes.
The so-called "must correct the name" is true.
However, after the transition between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wenxiang and Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty were in power and the country was strong, but they rarely took the initiative to fight against the Yuwen family in the west. In particular, Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang was extremely skilled in martial arts and had an extremely cruel personality.
The troops of the Northern Qi attacked Kumoxi in the north, chased the Khitan in the northeast, defeated Rouran in the northwest, leveled Shanhu in the west, and captured Huainan in the south. They defeated the enemies in all directions, but still ignored the enemies in the west.
There is also a key point in this, that is, the appeal of the Xianbei Yuan clan is no longer insignificant, and the Northern Qi Dynasty has become its own orthodoxy and does not need to conquer the Western Wei Dynasty to gain its own stability. Under this situation, the Northern Qi Dynasty's external conquests are naturally
Seizing actual benefits is the primary goal.
Is this situation very similar to the current situation where the East, West, and Jin are in the north and the Song Dynasty is in the south?
It is obvious that the Emperor of Xijin in Kaifeng Mansion was not taken seriously by Guo Ning. The Jurchens, who are constantly weakening and notorious, are probably not as good as Tuoba Xianbei, who was constantly sinicized and weakened hundreds of years ago. The entire Dinghai Navy
Everyone in the political power, even people like Xu Ding, who was affiliated with the navy, did not take the appeal of the Xijin Emperor seriously at all.
Therefore, their top priority is not to restore the old territory of the Jin Kingdom. Guo Ning is a tycoon who came to power by plundering actual benefits step by step. He knows very well what operations are most beneficial to his own regime, and he knows even better where the next benefit lies.
This evil tiger is waiting for the opportunity and will attack the Song Dynasty at any time!
Jia She's guess was almost true, and Guo Ning didn't even bother to pretend.
He waved his hand and said easily: "When it comes to the Song Dynasty... I specially chose the name Zhou Guogong. A smart man like you should have understood what I mean. The wealth of the Southern Dynasty is indeed what I need, and some
Sooner or later, the goal will always be achieved."
Jia She shook his head: "Duke Zhou, the word goal you mentioned actually means two different things."
"Why are there two different things? How come they have different approaches?" Guo Ning became interested: "Tell me about it."
"If one day the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were greedy, violent and confused, and the Duke of Zhou responded to the fate of the sky and raised the king's army, hoping to save the people on the river bank from water and fire, so as to confuse the world and bring peace to the world, then I, Jia She, would naturally be happy and prostrate myself to the ground.
, working in front and behind the saddle in order to gain wealth and honor. I think the people of the Song Dynasty would also eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's army. But at present, the government of the Song Dynasty has not declined, and the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty have not faded away. If the Duke of Zhou sent his troops south just to plunder, he would treat the Song Dynasty as
Make a way to make money..."
"So what? Jichuan, will you be my enemy?" Guo Ning seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"I, Jia She, am greedy for life, afraid of death, love money, and love fame. In the presence of Zhou Guogong's military power, I will naturally be delighted, bow down, and work hard to gain wealth."
Jia She chuckled twice, stood up and saluted Guo Ning again, his posture was extremely humble, and his tone was very firm: "But the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty are not all people like me, they will not give in easily. The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty are not all people like me.
He will fight to the death against Zhou Guogong's troops, just like what happened in the Jianyan, Shaoxing, and Kaixi years."
