Qiming 1158

chapter 563

Zhang Jun resigned and returned to his hometown.

Su Changsheng told Su Yonglin about this recent front page headline in Lin'an Mansion.

"Zhang Jun resigned?"

Su Yonglin felt a little strange, and then asked, "When did it happen?"

"Just a month ago, Zhang Jun resigned from office and returned to his hometown. The news spread quickly, from Lin'an to Jiaxing, and the whole official circle was talking about this matter."

Yao Hongfang said: "Not only Zhang Jun, but also some people who are close to Zhang Jun have also resigned one after another, or have been released."

Su Yonglin nodded and thought for a while.

"It seems that the agreement between Song Guo and us is not a false conspiracy, but really does not want to cause trouble. Zhang Jun has always been the main battle, and he also advocates going north to make progress in restoring the Central Plains. Zhang Jun and his party members have left Lin'an one after another, proving that Song Guo is I really don't want to go north."

Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang looked at each other but did not speak.

Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"No, I can't say that. It should be said that Zhao Gou really doesn't want to go north. He should want to live a stable life for a few days. This is completely inconsistent with the requirements of Zhang Jun and others. The departure of Zhang Jun and his henchmen is estimated. That's why.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Song Guo does not want to go north, but Zhao Gou does not want to. If Zhao Gou is no longer the emperor of Song Guo, then there will be no movement in Song Guo, then it is really hard to say, please ensure the next The point is this. "

Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang immediately straightened their waists and obeyed Su Yonglin's orders.

"Don't only focus on Jiaxing House, Changsheng, and Uncle Yao, please make sure to take action in Lin'an House, expand your power in Lin'an House, install eyeliners, and learn about Song Ting's internal movements as quickly as possible... By the way, I heard that Zhao Gou has established a prince before?"

Yao Hong nodded.

"Yes, the candidate for the crown prince of the Song Kingdom has been determined. He heard that he is a descendant of Emperor Taizu of Song, not a descendant of Emperor Taizong. He was raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and the outside world knows very little about him."

"Then let's find a way to learn more about it. I really want to know how talented a crown prince who was raised in the deep palace is. I have seen Zhao Gou through it, and then this is Zhao Tan."

Su Yonglin smiled.

Zhao Tan, Song Xiaozong, was known as the most enterprising emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the early days of his tenure, he tried to restore the Central Plains from the Northern Expedition. He appointed Zhang Jun and other Northern Expedition factions to initiate the Northern Expedition. He initially achieved success, but later failed miserably for various reasons.

Then he began to waver. Various operational mistakes were made by the main war faction and the main peace faction. His thoughts were sometimes conservative and sometimes radical. In a very chaotic state, Wanyan Liang was wasted and died until Wanyan Yong was firmly seated on the throne. That precious window period.

After that precious window was wasted, Wan Yanyong secured his throne and began his 20-year rule. During this period, Wanyanyong's rule was one word - stable.

Since then, the Southern Song Dynasty has never been able to go north to retake the Central Plains.

In fact, in Su Yonglin's opinion, Zhao Tan is known as the most enterprising emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, but his own talents are very limited and his mind is not firm.

In the Chengping era, this kind of emperor might be able to achieve the level of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, trying his best to maintain the situation of the eldest empire, so as not to let the eldest empire collapse quickly.

However, in troubled times, it is about to be exposed to the unsteady nature of the will.

At the beginning of Zhao Tan's ascension to the throne, it was a good time for Wanyanliang's failed southern invasion and civil unrest in Jin.

In response to the call of the imperial court, Wu Lin of Sichuan sent troops to the Northern Expedition and achieved great results. He recovered many prefectures and counties in Shaanxi and dealt a great blow to the Jin army.

But then Zhao Gou abdicated and Zhao Tan ascended the throne. He listened to the words of the courtiers and asked Wu Lin to withdraw his troops. Wu Lin chose to withdraw his troops in desperation. Great decline.

At that time, one of Wu Lin’s generals said that the generals would not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, but Wu Lin considered that the new monarch ascended the throne. If he did not give face and forcefully dispatched troops, he might not end up better than Yue Fei. In order to prevent suspicion, Wu Lin ordered the retreat and gave up many results.

It is conceivable that if Wu Lin did not respect the emperor's order and forcibly dispatched troops, what would happen to him.

Such a fierce general is helpless in the face of the political situation and the emperor's requirements.

Zhao Tan did not have the psychological shadow of Zhao Gou. He was not afraid of Jin Guo, but he also did not break through the national upper limit set by Zhao Gou for the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty is still the Southern Song Dynasty, there is no change.

Therefore, it can basically be judged that Zhao Tan's ability is at most on par with Zhao Gou, and has not surpassed Zhao Gou.

It's just that one person can raise his head, but the other person can't, and this is meaningless to the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the Restoration Army has already controlled Shandong, Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Yanyun, Liaodong, Xijing and other places. Except for Guanzhong, it basically occupies the territory of the Kingdom of Jin and controls 550 counties. It is already a giant up.

It's just because the country has not been formally established, and it is still a rebellion against armed groups in name, so it does not give people a huge sense of oppression.

But if someone thinks that this means that the Restoration Army does not have a strong sense of oppression, then it would be too small to look down on the Restoration Army and Su.

But in any case, before Zhao Gou officially abdicated and Zhao Tan officially ascended the throne, there was no possibility of tearing up the peace treaty and attacking northward. Even if Zhao Gou abdicated, for Zhao Tan, Zhao Gou was the one he couldn't get past. Kaner.

The military threat in this area of ​​the Southern Song Dynasty is basically zero.

This gave Su Yonglin a perfect opportunity to kill Jin Guo and replace it.

Mastering this opportunity, Su Yonglin can annex Guanzhong, strengthen his strength, rectify internal affairs, formally establish a country, and then kick off the prelude to the destruction of the Western Xia and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Really, sometimes Su Yonglin also thinks, this era is really amazing, several separatist regimes are pulling their hips collectively because of their own internal and external factors, and they have collectively entered the stage of comparison, and who is worse than who has become their main theme. .

At this time, as long as there is a regime that dares to break the deadlock and does not take the initiative to set up obstacles for itself, it can break the balance in this situation and hang up and fight this group of regimes that compete with each other.

What is even more interesting is that these regimes that compete with each other basically do not have strong strategic offensive capabilities, and each other's military talents have died out in the endless competition and internal friction, so that the Mongolians who love the art of war later When writing a history book, when I see the historical materials of the Song-Jin war, I will sigh in the sky-will you fucking fight?
Such a large country, such a large population, and such a strong comprehensive national strength, but there is no military talent who can break the deadlock.

The East Asia region in the second half of the twelfth century was really a wonderful state.

So that after someone Su rose up to destroy the Jin Kingdom, he actually felt at a loss when he drew his sword and looked around.

He couldn't find a tactical opponent, all the separatist regimes were struggling, none of them took advantage of his unstable footing and brought him some trouble. overlord.

Don't they doubt that I have the ambition and preparation to unify the continent at all?
Su Yonglin sighed in the sky.

But it should not be said that although these countries do not have the will to enterprising, they still have the ability to defend, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, such a large volume, it is impossible to annex it in one fell swoop, it must be two-pronged.

After the private banquet was over, Su Yonglin asked Su Changsheng and Yao Hong to go back to rest, and later, he called Su Changsheng over by himself, and chatted with him about the development of the Renaissance Society members.

"Seriously, Changsheng, I really didn't expect you to be able to do this."

Su Yonglin poured Su Changsheng a cup of tea with his own hands, patted his shoulder and praised him.

Su Changsheng was a little embarrassed by this treatment.

"Alang, I actually didn't do anything. Compared with Haisheng and the others, who were victorious in bloody battles, I don't think I helped you at all."

Su Yonglin shook his head.

"Don't you know what it means to do what you're doing?"

"what?"

Su Changsheng looked puzzled.

"What you have done is the first step in my overall plan to destroy Song."

"The first step to destroy Song?!"

Su Changsheng seemed to be shocked and incredulous as if he saw the three-body man descend to the earth.

"You should know why I didn't revolt in the Southern Song Dynasty, but revolted in the Jin Kingdom, right?"

"Yes, because the Southern Song Dynasty is the main contradiction, and a fight is a full-scale war. It is easy to be crushed to death with all our strength, and there is no way to play our advantages, so we can only start with Jin Guo."

Su Changsheng was well versed in Su Yonglin's theory and had no doubts about this.

Su Yonglin nodded again and again and said, "Although Song's military strength is weak, his national strength is still there. It is easy to defeat Song's army, and it is not easy to overthrow Song. Although we can bribe the gentry of Song with generous benefits and make them abandon Song, but I don't want to do that.

I have already accommodated the landlords and gentry of the Jin Kingdom, which makes me very unhappy. If I continue to accommodate this class of Song, the trouble will be greater, the internal problems will be more serious, and the impact on us will be greater, so my idea is to first Clean up the inside and destroy the outside, and that takes time. "
