Qiming 1158

Chapter 1013 Yu Binfu, have you begun to protect yourself?

Yu Yunwen, who has always been radical, chose a very conservative attitude this time, which is really surprising.

But Yu Yunwen's reason is also very good.

After the previous comprehensive attack on the entire Guanzhong landlord and gentry, the Ming Dynasty's rule over Guanzhong has been very stable, and the people's hearts are attached to it and cannot be easily plotted.

As for the Western Xia Rebellion, the chances of success are slim.

Because the essence of Xixia is under the control of the Ming Kingdom, those rebels are just gamblers who have lost their eyes. In fact, they have no chance of winning.

In addition, the Ming army has always been elite and good at fighting, and the Jin soldiers were all wiped out by them. How could the Xixia army, which could not beat the Jin soldiers, come back against the wind?
Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty must remain calm. Now is not a period of strategic opportunity, and they must not be pulled into the water by them.

Yu Yunwen's suggestion greatly shook the idea of ​​Chen Kangbo, who originally wanted to take a trip to the muddy waters, so he hesitated and did not make a decision.

Although Wu Lin asked Chen Kangbo to make a decision twice, Chen Kangbo did not make a decision.

This is really too difficult.

While he was hesitating, a new piece of information came, saying that in the face of the Xixia rebellion, the Ming army in Guanzhong had not been mobilized on a large scale, and everything was business as usual.

Subsequently, news of the Ming army breaking the Xixia rebels continued. At the end of last year, news of the Ming army's capture of Ganzhou came. It is said that the army pursued the victory and continued to march towards Guazhou and Shazhou.

After that, the Western Xia fell and the Hexi Province was established.

The Southern Song Dynasty finally made a correct strategic decision semi-actively and did not participate in this matter.

But it is precisely because of this that the entire strategic decision-making circle of the Southern Song Dynasty realized that the stability of the Ming Dynasty's rule over a place was far beyond their imagination, and the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's annexation and occupation of a place was also far beyond their imagination.

After all, Xixia is a local regime that has lasted for hundreds of years, and it also has its own literary tradition and culture. The rule has lasted for so long, and it should be reminiscent of the remnants of the past.

However, their people showed no sign of resistance in the process of annexing them by the Ming Kingdom. Only the upper official level launched a resistance, and the result was soon sent.

After the demise of the country, the people did not miss their old country, and accepted the rule of the Ming Kingdom with peace of mind, local order was quickly restored, and people began to live with peace of mind.

According to the party businessman, it was Ming's lower-level policy that worked.

The Ming Kingdom implemented [Good Governance]. This good governance appeased the remnants of Xixia and gave them a better life. Therefore, even the Xixia nation was reluctant to maintain the Xixia Dynasty and accepted the rule of the Ming Kingdom.

Judging from this, the main ethnic group of Ming and Southern Song is the Han nationality. In this way, wouldn't the two sides be more free from estrangement?
The Ming Dynasty could even manage the Khitan, Xi, Bohai and Dangxiang people in the country well, so is it difficult to treat the Han people of the Southern Song Dynasty with the same language and race?

As long as they use the bottom-level policies in "Hongwu Political Theory" to benefit the bottom-level, give the bottom-level land, and give them preferential policies, won't they still be able to make the people of the Southern Song Dynasty give up on them?

Is there such a vicious and terrifying conspiracy in the world?

How is this good?
Above the court, Zhao Tan and the Zaifu team thought about it for a long time, and did not know what to do to deal with such a terrifying malicious conspiracy of the Ming Kingdom.

Is it also necessary to learn from the Ming Dynasty to give benefits to the bottom, so that the grassroots at the bottom will favor them?

This is easier said than done.

How can people who are accustomed to exploitation and oppression honestly hand over their vested interests to the bottom?

nonexistent.

Even if Zhao Tan had that idea and tried to change something, the huge number of scholars who were unwilling to do so would definitely try to make Zhao Tan realize his mistakes and take the initiative to correct them.

Officials, you have to know that you can be the emperor because we support you, not because the mud legs support you. The mud legs only know that you are the emperor, but don't know that you are Zhao Tan. Do you count on them?
Well, let's support the others, okay?

As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, as the emperor who succeeded the throne, Zhao Tan's rule was based on scholars, gentlemen, bureaucrats, big landlords and gentry, and the entire upper class, not peasants.

He is different from Su Yonglin.

Although he yearned for some of Su Yonglin's policies in his heart, for example, he longed for Su Yonglin's strength and almost unlimited power, he longed for Su Yonglin's honor as an emperor, and his tough tactics to severely punish corrupt officials.

He also hated the bastard bureaucrats who dared to take advantage of his money, and wanted to kill them.

But he can't.

All he can do is to continuously strengthen the military and use a strong military to ensure the survival of the country.

The superiors in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty finally reached an agreement. After the 8-man recruitment plan, another 5-man recruitment plan will be promoted to continue to strengthen the Southern Song Dynasty's national defense forces, and strive to train the most elite soldiers in the shortest time to fight against Ming Dynasty. country.

After the court meeting, on the way back to the Privy Council, Yu Yunwen, who was qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting for the first time, followed closely behind Chen Kangbo.

"Shuxiang, there are some things I don't know if I should say it or not."

Chen Kangbo turned to look at Yu Yunwen while walking slowly.

"Speak."

"Thank you Shuxiang."

Yu Yunwen said in a low voice: "Based on the current situation of the Ming Kingdom, I am afraid that it will be difficult to bring about self-destruction in the short term, unless Su Yonglin dies suddenly, and his son is still young, then the ruler of the country is suspicious, and the heroes of the founding of the country are self-respecting. There is a possibility of disintegration.

However, Su Yonglin is only 27 years old and in the prime of life. As long as he is alive, the Ming Kingdom will never fall easily, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to see such a possibility in ten years, or even twenty years. "

Chen Kangbo stopped, looked straight ahead, and was silent for a while.

"Binfu, you didn't think so before. You said before that the Ming Kingdom would fall within three or five years."

Yu Yunwen shook his head.

"I haven't been to the Ming Kingdom before, and I don't know the real situation of the Ming Kingdom. After I went to the Ming Kingdom, I found out that what the Ming Kingdom has done is completely beyond our imagination. The farmers of the Ming Kingdom can live a good life, the political situation is still stable, and Prime Minister, put everything aside, even if it is a violent Qin, if the First Emperor is still alive, can Liu Xiang dare to rebel?"

Chen Kangbo turned his head to look at Yu Yunwen.

"You mean, if Su Yonglin can live for 30 years, the Ming Kingdom can exist for 30 years, and if he can live for 50 years, the Ming Kingdom can exist for 50 years?"

"He was the founding emperor of the country. He fought for three years to destroy the Jin Kingdom. He was like the general military exploits of the gods in the sky..."

Yu Yunwen sighed and said: "Don't talk about his tyrannical behavior, just talk about his military exploits, who wouldn't admire him? Who would dare to show his military skills in front of him? Some of the generals of the Song Dynasty dare to face Su Yonglin and lead him personally. The Ming army? He is the pillar of the Ming Kingdom. As long as he lives, the Ming Kingdom will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Chen Kangbo was silent for a while, then looked at Yu Yunwen with a slightly resentful look.

"Why didn't you say that in the hall just now?"

"I'm still young, so speaking in the hall, isn't it a way to give someone a hand? The civil and military people of all dynasties are waiting to see the Ming Kingdom falling apart. I suddenly stood up and said that the country would not fall apart on its own. What would they think of me?"

Yu Yunwen said helplessly: "Please also understand."

"Yu Binfu, have you also begun to protect yourself?"

Chen Kangbo shook his head and said, "I recommend you to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, but I don't want you to come here to protect yourself!"

"I don't want to either, but, Prime Minister, in the current situation, expecting the Ming Kingdom to be destroyed by itself is tantamount to a fool's dream."

Yu Yunwen gave a wry smile, and said, "But if I say this outright, not to mention whether anyone will resent me... Will anyone believe me?"

"If you can come up with a solution, they won't scold you, and they will confess to you."

Chen Kangbo said dissatisfiedly: "I recommend you to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, just because you see your talents, you can't let me down!"

"Of course I can't let the pivot phase down, and I also have a strategy to deal with it, but..."

Seeing Yu Yunwen's hesitant expression, Chen Kangbo looked around, and seeing that there was no one left or right, he said in a low voice, "Tell me directly, I won't speak out."

"Ok."

Yu Yunwen nodded and said: "If you want to fight against the Ming Kingdom, you must win the hearts of the people. It is best to follow some of the Ming Kingdom's strategies to reform the Song Dynasty, severely punish corrupt officials, reduce taxes, and restrict officials from misbehaving. This is popular."
