Zhao Fang shook his head and nodded: "Mr. Li, the business dealings between the northern and southern families are one thing, but there is no need to lie about some mutual evaluations just because of business. In the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, even if you have
The identity of the Han people is that they are the descendants of the wolf and tiger soldiers of the Five Dynasties, and they were the ferocious and brutal warriors in power. You are not the Northern captives, who are?"
"When a warrior is in power, he becomes a prisoner?" Li Yun laughed hoarsely.
He pointed to his nose and asked: "I was born as a warrior, and now I have been given some power and position by Your Majesty. Am I a prisoner?"
He also pointed to Yin Chang: "Yin stayed in Nanjing. He studied in Jinan Prefecture and was good at both civil and military affairs. However, he now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands... Is he a prisoner?"
"When a warrior is in power, he becomes a prisoner?"
Li Yun nodded to Zhao Fang again: "Ambassador Zhao, what is the authority in your hands? What is the authority of those arrogant and powerful generals under you? The young man named Meng behind you should be a young man you are very optimistic about. After a few more
In the next year, will he embark on an official career? Will he gain power? Will he be a prisoner by then?"
Zhao Fang also laughed: "Li Langzhong, you know exactly what I mean. I, Emperor Song, have taboos about Emperor Song, and there are rights and wrongs that cannot be broken. Why bother with this."
Li Yun still sneered a few times, took a glass of wine from the table, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
In fact, compared with the benefits of cooperation between the two companies, the naming of a mere farmland district is really not a big deal.
It is true that Pinglu is a bit contemptuous; the military town set up by Zhou Dynasty on Nanjing Road is sometimes called Zhennan or Pingnan, and they are equally eyeing it.
What's more, with the consistent temper of the Song Dynasty, they only talked about how to conquer the north by pacifying the barbarians. Starting from Grandpa Yue, who was determined to restore the country 80 years ago, he really put this goal into practice.
People never have a good end. After the failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, the abandoned pond trees were still tired of talking about soldiers, and everyone's heart was cold.
But Li Yun had to hesitate for a while, because after struggling, he could make Yin Chang, an important border minister who thought the Song people were weak, figure out where the Song people really felt about the Zhou Dynasty.
Over the years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has spent so much effort infiltrating the south, winning over many nobles and ministers in the south, and arranging countless channels for them to make a fortune together. Therefore, Yin Chang felt that once he took action, he would be able to destroy everything, but there was a central figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This view is that if we raise troops to go south, we are likely to encounter desperate resistance from the Song people.
Zhao Fang did not directly answer Li Yun's question, but his words told everyone the reason.
From the perspective of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the result of the rapid decline of the Jurchens' own military force, and the rise of the Han people's military force, and then replaced it. The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was that it originally succumbed to the bottom, but
In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty was undoubtedly a Han government, and it overthrew the centuries-old rule of the Jinlu and restored the orthodox political power of the Han Dynasty.
Earlier, some people thought that the Zhou Dynasty retained many Jurchen and Khitan ministers. Even if it was to accommodate them, the court would not deliberately emphasize this point. However, over the past few years, although the court did not deliberately emphasize it, along with the etiquette, the style was gradually improved.
Once it is perfected, many things will become self-evident.
The ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether they were Han or Bei people, all recognized the core and dominant position of the Han in this regime. Many Jurchens had begun to change their Jurchen surnames to Han surnames, deliberately getting rid of their Jurchen identities. Khitan
People don't have any psychological burden on this, but several well-known Khitan clans have worked hard on civil affairs because of the call of the prime minister Yelu Chucai. In the scientific examination of the new dynasty, many of them emerged one after another.
A gentle and elegant bachelor.
The Jurchens and Khitan people had their own explanations for the situation in which various tribes bowed their heads.
The most mainstream one is still from the hands of Yelu Chucai. It says that the Han family was originally the master of the Central Plains. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has been the elder brother and co-lord of all ethnic groups. In the past few years, Tai'a has been inverted, mainly because
The Zhao officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were useless from generation to generation, ruining the status of the Han people.
Until Guo Jiedu of Dinghai Navy succeeded Guo Zhou in the Five Dynasties and swept across the Central Plains with powerful soldiers and generals. Even the Mongol Khan in the north was no match. It was naturally impossible for such an army to succumb to foreigners, and it was inevitable to take revenge.
, complain if you have any complaints.
The process of Dazhou's replacement and invasion will inevitably involve killing people, and it will inevitably cause pain to people who were originally superior, but all ethnic groups will suffer. This is because this is to reverse the chaos of a hundred years and go against the righteousness of thousands of years. It is reasonable and in line with the general trend.
Lord Gong cannot ignore this.
This statement not only gave the foreign tribes a certain dignity, but also truly reiterated the strong military force of the Great Zhou Dynasty, reminding the tribes of the Northern Tribe that it is their original tradition to bow to the strong. Therefore, this statement spread very quickly.
There are so many people who accept it that it will become official orthodoxy and will be recorded in history.
In the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, the only thing that suffered from this statement was that the official reputation of the Zhao family in the Southern Song Dynasty continued to be harmed. Except for the founding emperor Taizu who conquered 400 military states with one stick, Taizong and Zhenzong were spared.
Successive generations of emperors have been belittled as wastes and idiots. Especially those who abandoned the northern and central plains territories and caused hundreds of millions of people to fall into the hands of foreigners. Recently, there have been special mockeries for them.
In contrast, on the Song Dynasty, there was also political propaganda directed at the Zhou Dynasty.
This type of political propaganda almost all repeatedly emphasizes the ferocity of the northern warrior group, and goes along with the trend, comparing the Great Zhou Dynasty to those warriors Fangzhen in the Five Dynasties who relied on strong soldiers and horses... This statement actually contributes to the prestige of the Great Zhou army, and even vaguely
In response to the political propaganda of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it linked the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, covering up the ridicule of the Northern Caotai team by the literati of the Southern Dynasties.
But the Song Dynasty kept doing this because this kind of propaganda hit Zhou's weakness.
This weakness was not the weakness that Zhou thought he had, but the weakness of Zhou in the eyes of many soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. It was something that the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty could not accept under any circumstances.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for civilized people to coexist with martial arts, and it is difficult for a martial artist to practice civilized medicine. This is what is said to be achieved immediately, but not to be cured immediately, and what is said to be obedient and obedient.
The Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties followed the Five Dynasties, and the greatest characteristic of the political situation of the Five Dynasties was the brutality and murderous nature. The corruption of its political atmosphere and the extent of its poisonous harm were rarely seen in history. In this regard, many knowledgeable people in the Song Dynasty had
analyzed.
Up to now, the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty generally believe that this situation is mainly due to the fact that the Five Dynasties regime was mainly established in the hands of military generals, and the rampage and tyranny of these warriors were no less generous than the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, which made the people suffer even more.
, the Central Plains, Hebei and even the south of the Yangtze River are covered with bones and thorns, and the people live in dire straits. Hundreds of years later, the bloody records are still horrifying and unimaginable.
After Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he once said to Prime Minister Zhao Pu: "Fangzhen was brutally abused in the Five Dynasties, and the people suffered from it. I ordered more than a hundred Confucian ministers and officials to be selected to govern the vassal. Even though they were all corrupt, they were not as good as the military ministers.
also."
In the eyes of the founder of the Song Dynasty, even if the more than a hundred Confucian ministers who governed the local area were all corrupt and despicable people, they would not cause as much harm to the people as a warrior in a feudal town. These words of Song Taizu were not intended to be a reflection on warriors.
It is a slander, but an iron-clad fact that has been proven countless times with blood.
The emperor has two evils, how to choose?
The scholar-bureaucrats and the people of the world have endured the harm caused by warriors for hundreds of years. Almost every family has died because of it. Almost everyone is the lucky one left in the terrible world. How will they view the warriors coming to power?
Therefore, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has always tried its best to suppress the warriors and suppress military power, so much so that it castrated the new dynasty into docile and weak pigs and sheep.
Among them, of course, the emperors of the Song Dynasty sought to centralize power to protect the imperial power. More importantly, the entire Song Dynasty, no matter the royal family, civil servants or ordinary people, could never bear the tragedy of another military rebellion. In order to prevent
The extremely bloody troubled times of the Five Dynasties have reappeared, and they feel that any price they can bear is acceptable.
More than two hundred years have passed since the disaster of the Five Dynasties of Warriors. Ordinarily, that terrible memory should be indifferent. After constantly enduring the humiliation of failed foreign wars, a somewhat martial spirit should have emerged within the Song Dynasty.
Unfortunately, there are, but not many.
Because the cruel reality is still reminding the people of the Song Dynasty and telling them the horror of warriors taking power. The latest one happened in the Jin Kingdom in the north. A group of defeated soldiers from the grass could actually seize power by force and change the world.
.
During this process, the originally strong Jin Kingdom became so weak that the Tatars from the northern grasslands invaded several times. For several years, the war was in chaos. Zhou armies, Jin armies, and Mongolian armies came and went, and more than a few military states suffered disasters.
Tens to hundreds? How about the people who died in the war, not just hundreds of thousands or millions?
Such a tragic scene happened right next to Song Dynasty, on this couch very close at hand. How do the people of Song Dynasty view it?
The chief ministers in the Song Dynasty could have a fierce fight with the Zhou Dynasty out of the need to consolidate their power. Anyway, this has been the tradition since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
The dignitaries of the Song Dynasty, inside and outside, could work closely with the caravans of the Zhou Dynasty for the sake of gold and silver. Anyway, being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. If you make money first, everything else will be easy to talk about.
But if the north tried to use force to change the situation, countless people in the Song Dynasty would be frightened and furious. They would not accept the recurrence of the terrible situation of Wu Fu's rule, and they would not tolerate the recurrence of the nightmare that has been circulating for hundreds of years.
Therefore, no matter how weak the Song people as a whole are, there will always be people who jump out and fiercely resist the evil Beibei in their hearts.
In Jinghu Third Road, Zhao Fang is the leader of those who have such determination and ability, and there must be many others in other places. The Southern Dynasty was prosperous, with more than 50 million people living there. Only one person out of ten would resist.
, that vast ocean, which is worth five million people, is not easy to get rid of?
