Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 648
"What Prime Minister Yu said is very true. Zhu Yuanzhang's envoy has been waiting in Lin'an for a long time. Since we have decided to form an alliance with Ming Dynasty, we should not be too fussy about minor details!"

"The most important thing right now is to send troops to the north to resist Xia's attack with the Ming army! Only by blocking Xia's army can we and the Ming army consolidate the territory..."

Zhao Ding, another prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, followed closely.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already sent envoys, but the Southern Song Dynasty was not as decisive as the Ming army.

Despite the persuasion of Yu Yunwen and Han Shizhong, they must immediately go north to join hands with the Ming army.

However, many officials in the court have been making some noises. Some people want to let the Ming army stand in front first, let the Ming army and the Xia army consume each other, and wait until the Xia army's front is weak, and the Southern Song Dynasty will send troops north to reap the battlefield.

People with discerning eyes, such as Yu Yunwen, Han Shizhong, and Zhao Ding, can see that this method is very inappropriate. Right now, Daming and Southern Song Dynasty are at a loss, and only by sincerely working together can they stop Xia Jun's attack.

If when joining forces, there are still some calculations and schemes in the minds of the two sides, causing each of the two parties to leave a part of their strength to guard against their allies, then the chances of winning this battle are extremely small.

It's a pity that Yu Yunwen, Han Shizhong and Zhao Ding had high prestige in the Southern Song Dynasty, but they couldn't reach the level of covering the sky with one hand.

Zhao Yan is not Liu Chan who obeys the prime minister's words, he has his own ideas.

At this time, I heard Yu Yunwen and Zhao Ding's words.

A trace of embarrassment inevitably appeared on Zhao Yun's face, because it was because of his hesitation that the Southern Song Dynasty did not make a plan to send troops.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty had secretly negotiated an alliance with Daming. There were only some details, such as how to command the army after the Song army went north, and whether it should obey the orders of the Ming army's chief general.

These issues, which seem to be details, are actually quite important to both Ming and Southern Song.After all, anything can happen on the battlefield.

If the Southern Song Dynasty agreed to follow the command of the Ming army when sending troops northward, then when encountering certain situations that needed to be cut off, the leader of the Ming army would retreat by himself and let the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty cut off behind, causing the Song army to suffer heavy losses.

Who is to blame for this loss?

Zhao Yan also knew that after Daxia established a dynasty and swept Zhenjiang and Jiangdong, he would attack Daming and Southern Song sooner or later, but as the Emperor of Song, he couldn't sacrifice his own interests to fulfill Daming, right?
As long as you are a mature monarch, you must be more concerned about this aspect. Perhaps, only the top emperors such as the First Emperor, Han Wu, and Tang Zong have courage and determination, and don't care about gains and losses for a while.

He also has the confidence to bear the loss of his own power.

Zhao Yun was adopted from a young age. Although he has a lot of open-mindedness and enterprising spirit, his childhood experience has caused him to be cautious deep in his heart.Especially when encountering major problems, his caution can't help but appear.

In the hall, Li Gang, Meng Gong and others stood with hands down. Among them, Meng Gong, as a military commander, did not speak sideways on this occasion, while Li Gang, as an important figure in the main combat faction, of course agreed with what Yu Yunwen and Zhao Ding said.

However, apart from being a combatant, he is also a typical imperialist party,
Seeing that Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed, he frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty also has his own considerations. It is certainly necessary to form an alliance with Ming, but we must not let our army suffer heavy losses just to go north to help the Ming army!"

"In case the Ming army is defeated, we must have the power to protect ourselves!"

when he speaks.

Both Yu Yunwen and Zhao Ding listened quietly, respecting Li Gang very much. After all, when Li Gang was in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was a well-known official in the world and presided over the defense of Tokyo against the Jin army.

In the early Southern Song Dynasty, he tried his best to reject peace talks, rectify military affairs, and innovate politics. Unfortunately, his ideas were completely opposite to those of Zhao Gou, a famous representative of the capitulation faction, and he was finally dismissed.

This kind of famous minister with great reputation and suspected of shaking the lord was only able to be appointed by Zhao Wei in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In history, it was also Zhao Yun who chased Li Gang and made him the founding father of Longxi County, with the posthumous title of Zhongsu.
After Li Gang knew his results in history, he, a civil servant who cared about his reputation after death, was naturally very grateful to Zhao Yan.

Therefore, he became the backbone of the imperial party in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, what he said just now was not entirely an excuse for Zhao Yan. This was also his true thought. The Song Dynasty also wanted to develop itself, and the army also needed to guard the Quartet.

If you use all your strength for the Ming Dynasty, once defeated, the Great Song Dynasty will collapse in an instant.Who can afford this price?

"What the two Ai Qing said makes sense, and Li Gong is also thinking about Da Song...but now it is indeed time to make a decision!"

Zhao Yan opened his mouth slowly.

He was raised in the palace by Zhao Gou since he was a child, and later he was canonized as the crown prince and inherited the throne. Except for the intrigue in the palace when he was a child, he has never suffered in his life.

She has a graceful demeanor, and when she speaks, she is unhurried, neutral and peaceful, giving people a feeling of royal demeanor.

At this time, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Time is urgent, and some minor details may not be mentioned, but how many troops will be dispatched, and how to cooperate with the Ming army after dispatching troops, this point must be clearly stated!"

"It's true that we and the Ming army are at odds with each other, but the Ming army is the first to bear the brunt of Xia's army going south. The most anxious should be Zhu Yuanzhang, not me!"

"If the Ming army agrees to join forces sincerely after our army goes northward and does not harm the interests of the Song Dynasty, I will agree to send troops immediately. If Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately damages our troops when fighting the Xia army, I will not Immediately withdraw the army... You can speak this sentence directly to the envoys of Ming Dynasty!"

As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yan will definitely study Zhu Yuanzhang's historical intelligence seriously.For this Ming Taizu, Zhao Yan admired him very much.

After all, he came from such a humble background, but in the end he was able to overthrow the invincible Meng Yuan who swept the world. He is definitely the top Mingjun.

It's a pity that this Mingjun is unparalleled in mind and too cruel.

If it is not necessary, Zhao Yan absolutely does not want to deal with him. Right now, he and the Ming army must form an alliance. In his heart, Zhao Yan is also worried that he will be tricked by the other party.

Under the strong persuasion of Yu Yunwen and Zhao Ding, Zhao Yun still did not relax his vigilance against the Ming army.

If he sends troops in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang really uses the Song army to back up his sword, and Zhao Yan really dares to withdraw his troops directly!
The last time he teamed up with Wang Jing to deal with Soochow, Zhao Yan still regrets it.

He originally thought that after Soochow was gone, he would be able to share the land of Soochow with Wang Jing equally, making the territory of Song Dynasty stronger. Anyway, to the west of Wangjing, there were three forces of Southern Qi, Liu Song, and Zhu Ming.

Even if Wang Jing is against the sky, it is impossible to defeat the three forces, so he will soon pose a threat to Song Dynasty?
As long as the forces of the princes in the north contain each other, the ones in the south will have enough time to expand and grow in the Song Dynasty, and there is a certain chance of going north to wipe out the princes in one fell swoop...

Zhao Yun thought very well, and none of the ministers including Zhao Ding and Li Gang objected to his idea. Although the lesson of the Song Dynasty being destroyed twice was severe, Wang Jing was not Jin and Meng Yuan after all.

Unfortunately.

Neither Zhao Yan nor the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty expected that Wang Jing could wipe out Soochow and Liu Song successively in such a short period of time, and make Xiao Daocheng defect...

The situation that was originally restraining each other suddenly became the dominance of Daxia.

The lessons of history, and the consequences of forming an alliance with Wang Jing not long ago, made Zhao Wei have a conditioned reaction to the word alliance, and even thought of not forming an alliance with any force in his heart.

The Ming army took the initiative to come to the door. Zhao Yan had learned a lesson before, so it is normal to think a little more.

"The official's lesson is that I am a little impatient... I personally discussed the conditions with the envoys of the Ming army. As the official said, the one who is anxious now is Zhu Yuanzhang. If it is not expected, they will definitely agree to our conditions!"

Seeing Zhao Yan insisting on his own ideas, Yu Yunwen was not angry, but smiled on his face.

Because the attitude and opinions shown by Zhao Yan prove that he is indeed a wise ruler with his own ideas, and it is also a blessing to work under such a wise ruler.

"Then now it's just how to send troops and how many troops to send!"

Zhao Ding said.

Yu Yunwen pondered for a while, discussed briefly with Li Gang, Meng Gong and others, and said: "At present, we have a total of 80 imperial troops, more than 20 Xiang troops, and [-] navy troops..."

"The Xiang army is not strong enough, so they can only stay behind, and the forbidden army can't all go north, so some troops need to be left behind!"

"I suggest that when sending troops to the north, you can use 50 forbidden troops and [-] navy troops! The rest of the troops stay in Lin'an, especially the navy troops. We must strictly prevent the Xia army sailors from crossing the sea!"

The last time Soochow was quickly defeated by Wang Jing,
It has a lot to do with the fact that the Daxia navy crossed the sea and directly crossed the heavy defense line from the side and rear, which directly caused the army of Sun Ce and Tai Shici to be unable to return to the north.

Later, Yu Yunwen replayed the battle with many people, and he was deeply impressed by the Great Xia Navy's crossing and landing.

Lin'an, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is also close to the coast, and even the Great Xia Navy can go directly to the city of Lin'an by sea...Yu Yunwen plans to put 15 sailors on many islands inside and outside Hangzhou Bay.

Use these islands to form a defense system to block the possible Great Xia navy.

"50 imperial troops, and 55 naval troops! There are a total of [-] troops, and we dispatched more than half of our forces, which is worthy of the conditions given by the Ming army!"

Zhao Ding said.

Everyone in the hall nodded when they heard this.

Da Song paid such a price. If he could defeat Xia Jun, Da Song would definitely follow the covenant, go north to swallow the land of Suzhou, and push Da Song's territory all the way to the edge of the Yangtze River.

Of course, if you lose, you don't need to say anything.

Zhao Yun hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the opinions of several Aiqings. In this war, Yu Aiqing will be in charge of mobilizing the army, Zhao Qing will be in charge of food and supplies, and Mr. Li will be in charge of military aircraft..."

"The fortune of the Great Song Dynasty is entrusted to a few of you!"

When Yu Yunwen, Zhao Ding and the others heard this, they all looked moved, and bowed down, "I will live up to the trust of the officials!"

After Zhao Yan discussed with the officials.

Yu Yunwen went out in person to negotiate terms with the envoys of the Ming army.

While negotiating conditions, Zhao Ding had already begun to use the continuous distribution of documents, mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources, began to transport food and grass, prepared equipment, and prepared for the northward dispatch of troops.

The elite Forbidden Army used by the Song Dynasty to conquer the Quartet began to operate slowly, ready to go.

As students of the Great Song Dynasty who are most concerned about national affairs, many scholars and scholars in Lin'an, many people also feel that the atmosphere in Lin'an is a bit tense.

People with news and contacts already know the decision of the court.

When many scholars were talking in brothels and restaurants, they couldn't help mentioning a few words when they were excited,
Just these scattered words can let some spies lurking in Lin'an know the news they want to know.

It was almost a common phenomenon in the Song Dynasty that the people and scholars in the city knew about such a decision and discussed it with each other.

Historically, when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the general Yao Pingzhong suggested going out of the city to attack at night, but before leaving the city, the news spread wildly, and some people even began to celebrate the victory of the night attack...

As the saying goes, if a minister does not keep secrets, he loses his body, and if a ruler does not keep secrets, he loses his country.

The general's night raid out of the city was supposed to be an extremely confidential matter for the military and the country, but it was spread before it was dispatched. In the end, the result of the night raid can be imagined.

Yao Pingzhong, who suggested a night attack, went out of the city, but only broke through two military strongholds, and was surrounded by the Jin army who had been prepared for a long time. In the end, he broke through alone and ran [-] miles straight to the middle of Shu to live in seclusion in the mountains.

Judging from the fact that the Song court continued to issue edicts to invite Yao Pingzhong to come out to serve, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty obviously knew that the failure of the camp robbery was not Yao Pingzhong's fault, and they wanted to reuse him as a general.

Perhaps it was because of the failure to rob the camp that directly led to Li Gang's dismissal, and then the Northern Song Dynasty perished, feeling guilty in his heart. It was not until Song Xiaozong and Qianchun years that Yao Pingzhong walked out of the mountains at the age of 80...

At this time in the Shenzhou world, Yao Pingzhong was already a general in the Southern Song Army. Although his status was not as good as Han Shizhong, Meng Gong, and Lu Wende, he was still one of the best generals.

It's a pity that under the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world, every scholar has a feeling of giving advice.

He clearly knows that military and state affairs cannot be disclosed and discussed casually, but he can't bear it any longer. He habitually wants to point out Jiangshan's words in the eyes of those famous prostitutes in the brothel.

……

Inside a well-known restaurant in Lin'an City.

In the private rooms on the second and third floors, many scholars gather, especially in the private rooms, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard from time to time.There are singers and qin girls who play music specially.

These private rooms are exquisitely decorated and look relatively high-end. In addition, they are very close to Taixue, so they have become the first choice for many Taixue students to entertain and gather.

In one of the private rooms.

Two elegant men who looked about 30 or [-] years old were drinking tea. The charcoal stove in the pot was boiling the water in the pot, and a scent of tea overflowed, filling the whole room.

Although they don't look very old, from their extremely bright eyes that seem to be able to penetrate everything in the world, it can be seen that their spiritual power is very strong.

Especially the man on the left, who looks ordinary, but his eyes contain boundless wisdom, as if with a single thought, everything in the world can be included in his chest.
