Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

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 current battle situation.

The most important thing right now is the stability of the overall situation, and he doesn't expect officials to be able to recover from their weakness.

The most important thing is to maintain the current morale and united front of the people, and continue to convey his judgment on the situation, so that most people can understand, so as not to be instigated by some clowns.

On December [-], a new article appeared in the "Tokyo Daily": "On the Early Stage of the Song-Jin War".

This article objectively and comprehensively analyzes the battle between Song and Jin Dynasties, from space to time, from two perspectives, and it is easy to understand.

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

[-]. In the initial stage, the Jin army was strong on the frontal battlefield.

[-]. In the stalemate stage, the Song army established a defense-in-depth 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:

[-]. In the battle between Song, Jin and Liao, the Great Song united with Jin to destroy Liao. This strategy was wrong.

Zhao Ning completely denied the previous maritime alliance.

[-]. In the battle between Song and Jin, Da Song believed that money could be exchanged for Yanyun's hometown, which was wrong, and the Jin people were greedy.

[-]. A weak country has no diplomacy. Peace negotiation is a diplomatic means, but it must be based on equal force. Now there are quite a number of capitulators in the country under the guise of peace negotiation. They want to squeeze money from the common people. Come and give it to the Jinren, so that they can live in peace, but they themselves will not pay a penny!

Fourth, the quick-fighting 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 have to find out the weaknesses of Jinren and make use of our strengths.

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

[-]. In the first battle of Tokyo, the enemy went 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. It's time to cast a mouse-eye.

Zhao Ning also denied the appeasement policy at the beginning of this year. At that time, Wanyan Zongwang's [-] troops did not capture Tokyo City and retreated in a hurry. Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others were unwilling to pursue, and ordered the towns along the way not to fight the Jinren.

It is tantamount to saying that Wanyan Zongwang was let go directly.

Sixth, the Jin people went south for the second time because the attitude shown by Da Song was too weak, which made the Jin people think that we are easy to bully and can do whatever we want.

[-]. The Jin people besieged the city and used the siege to fight for aid (at this time, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was blocked in Tongguan by Wanyan Loushi). The Jin people hoped to coerce us by siege and force to make us feel scared, and then sent people to pretend to negotiate peace with us. To loosen, to unravel within us.

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

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

The Jinren want to make a quick decision, we must not make a quick decision, we have to consume the Jinren.

Regarding peace talks, when the force is not equal, peace talks are tantamount to surrender, and the Jin people will inevitably ask us to give them huge amounts of gold, silver, and silk, and even ask us to give them their female relatives.

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

[-]. We are now in the early stages of the Song-Jin War.

At this stage, I have been slack in force for a long time, and I will continue to lose to the Jinren on the frontal battlefield. This is normal, and it is also the price we have spent a century of abolishing martial arts. Don't worry.

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

At this stage, what they can win are the three towns of Hebei and Hedong.

Then the main combat faction headed by Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan wanted to break through the city of Tokyo and plunder a huge amount of wealth. The Han officials headed by Liu Yanzong and Shi Liai must do their best to assist them in order to gain a firm foothold in the Jin Dynasty.

As long as we fight to the end, they will not be able to capture the city of Tokyo, the Sifang King Qin army is on the way, and the Hebei and Hedong rebels are also fighting against the gold with all their strength.

They went deep into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty. Our Hebei and Hedong soldiers and horses can fight guerrilla warfare, disperse, harass the enemy's rear in an irregular manner, and do not confront the enemy head-on, so that the enemy will be exhausted.

Tens of millions of people in Song Dynasty provided information for us.

[-]. After the Jin army is exhausted, it will face a food crisis, and the morale of the army will be shaken. Moreover, as the temperature rises, the Jin people will feel unwell and will withdraw their troops. Before withdrawing, they still want to scare us and want to extort a huge sum of money from us. , let's not be fooled.

[-]. 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 the development of the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhending, and Zhongshan to prepare for the continued southward movement in the coming year.

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

Not only the common people rushed to tell each other, but even the peacemakers such as Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong bought it for the first time.

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 such a completely irrelevant argument in the city, not to mention the embarrassment of the royal family. If things didn't develop like this, how would the officials think of him? official."

Zhao Kai said: "Father, the officials are becoming more and more self-willed now. If things really get out of hand, I will ask my father to come out and preside over the overall situation. I have chatted with all the officials in the past few days. Everyone misses my father." .”

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 torment. If he continues to torment like this, he will lose his heart, so we don't need 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 commented on Zhao Huan before, he was quite critical, but he didn't mean to find a way to make him abdicate.

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

If the current official family resigns, it will naturally be Zhao Ji who takes over. After Zhao Ji takes over, the crown prince must belong to Zhao Kai.

This is exactly what Zhao Kai dreamed of.

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

Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai think that Zhao Ning is trying to die now.

But Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong were shocked.

In this article, there are many places that directly deny the policies of these two people.

For example, after the first Battle of Tokyo, Wanyan Zongwang's [-] troops retreated northward in a hurry. Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong were unwilling to pursue them, and ordered the towns along the Hebei Road not to disturb the Jin people, and those who disobeyed the order would be executed.

The article criticized this behavior sharply, and it was almost a traitorous behavior.

There is also the so-called peace negotiation in the early stage, which was proposed by Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, and Li Bangyan, and it was completely rejected in this article.

After seeing it, the officials attached to people like Tang Ke also felt that this article by the officials was almost their name.

As for Mo Chou, who was previously a peacemaker, and immediately jumped to the main war faction, threatening to take the initiative to attack, he was also criticized in this article.

In short, Zhao Ning used the most refined language to characterize everything that happened between the Lian Jin's extermination of Liao Dynasty and the second defense of Tokyo at this moment, and predicted the next behavior of the Jin people.

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

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 headline in his hand, and handed it to Wan Yan Zonghan: "Marshal, look at this, it was sent out by the Song Army with a magic arm crossbow."

Song Jun delivered something again?

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

Shi Liai didn't speak.

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

After reading it, his face darkened.

He turned and went back to the commander's camp, notifying all senior officers to gather.

Wanyan Zongwang naturally also received it, and it was he who asked people to hand over the things to Shi Liai.

The atmosphere in the camp was tense.

Everyone knows why they are dignified.

Because this article made a very accurate summary of the Song-Jin War in the past, and made a prediction about the situation of the Song-Jin War in the next six months.

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

The name of Zhao Guan's family in the Shanghai Department of this newspaper is taboo.

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

If a soldier of the Jin army knew these contents, he would laugh at Zhao Guanjia as an idiot, and actually told the enemy what he would do.

But Zong Han and Zong Wang absolutely couldn't laugh at it.

Because they all feel the power of the content in this newspaper, it seems to tell you to add clothes when you are cold, and take off your clothes when it is hot.

You can't do it the other way around.

This is Yang Conspiracy.

I will play against you with my cards open. I am not afraid that you will know what I will do next. Anyway, what I will do next will not escape your intelligence system. Why don't I tell you how we will fight next.

If the last "Golden Army's Siege Strategy" was just an analysis of the situation at that time, Zong Han and Zong Wang more or less thought that Zhao Guan's family was playing tricks.

Then this 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 in the content, and then affect Jin Guochaotang's attitude towards the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, Wanyan Zongwang always believed that the Jin Kingdom could not swallow 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 subsidiary state of the Jin Kingdom, paying tribute every year.

If the city of Tokyo cannot be captured in the future, they can only withdraw their troops, and the situation will go according to Zhao Guanjia's prediction.

In that way, Jinren's behavior will be shrouded in Zhao Guan's prediction, which is a very strong blow to their psychology.

And it will make the main peace faction in the Jin Guochao hall find a reason and start to effectively check and balance the main war faction.

So, war is an extension of politics.

You think that Zhao Ning is just writing articles for the people in the city to read, but in fact he wants Zong Han and Zong Wang to see it, so that the Jin Renzhu peace faction can rise up.

This is a political trick.

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

Shi Liai said: "Marshal, this is a kind of demonstration against us by the Zhao Guan family. I feel that the key to breaking the game is to capture the city of Tokyo. As long as the city of Tokyo is captured, this article will be the gravedigger of the Zhao family. We don't need it." If you do it, all the forces in Tokyo will make him miserable."

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

Wanyan Zongwang knew that he wanted to talk about what to do if he couldn't attack.

It is meaningless to discuss this issue now, and we can only take one step at a time.

Zong Han said: "That's right! The official Zhao's behavior of using articles to demonstrate to us, in my opinion, is very naive and weak. Only strong force can really play a decisive role!"

Time passed quickly, and it was already mid-December in a blink of an eye.

Gao Lian would go into the palace every day to report the situation in the city, including the status of the people, how much food was left in the people's homes, the public security in the city, and so on.

These Zhao Ning must be aware of at any time, if someone instigates and causes chaos at this juncture, they are determined to extinguish them as soon as possible, and must not be taken lightly.

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

"Reporting to the official family, there are currently 320 people."

"I will add people to you, you are ready."

"Yes, the officials can rest assured that the minister will take good care of it."

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

As soon as Gao Qiu left, Zhao Ding came, and he presented the current progress of the military supervision on the manufacture of trebuchets and thunderbolts.

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

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

The progress of Zhentianlei is also very fast, and 7 pieces have been produced, with an average of 4667 pieces produced every day.

Zhao Ning was very satisfied with this speed of armament.

Zhao Ning said: "How is the investigation of Li Chong's case?"

Chapter 39 Are you making fun of me?

Zhao Ding said: "In the initial trial given by the Criminal Ministry, a total of five officials were involved, namely Li Chunhe, the head of the Qianbo case of the Duzhi Division of the Household Department, Sun Zhi, the head of the Duzhi Division of the Household Department, Zhang Daoming, the young supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervision, Wang Yuanshan, Chief Registrar of the Military Weapons Supervision, and Liu Chong, Chief Registrar of the Yantie Division Iron Case.”

When Zhao Ning heard it, good guy, they are really playing it like a monkey!

For such a big case, after half a month of trial, I was given five people to come out.
