Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhao Gou's luck may be good or bad.

Being an emperor is certainly something that many people dream of, but in this period, the emperor should not be regarded as a hot potato. Being an emperor is risky!
When he first became emperor, it happened to be when the Jin people were very powerful. At that time, he faced the Jin people's invasion from the south and had to flee at sea for a while.

But from Xiao Ran's point of view, the Jin man is also really sincere.

After all, as a modern person, in the territory of later generations, Jin is also a part of the country, and everyone has been friendly, harmonious and unified for many years.

Therefore, Xiao Ran's perspective on things is destined to be different from that of Zhao Gou and Zhao Kuangyin.

Compared with Xiao Ran, Zhao Gou had met Jin people because he went to Jin camp twice as an envoy, and the first time he lived there for a while.

As an emperor, one of Zhao Gou's advantages was that his understanding of the Jin people did not come from reports from ministers or other people's rumors. He had personal contact with them.

From the shame of Jingkang to the peace negotiations in Tianjuan, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty also fought for eleven or twelve years, and to the peace negotiations in Shaoxing, the total period of time has been thirteen years.

For a period of time, Zhao Gou also had a strong temper. It was not that he had never fought with the Kingdom of Jin. On the contrary, he had been fighting for more than ten years.

Let’s talk about Qin Hui.

Xiao Ran felt that this person's performance was also somewhat complicated.

Many people say that Qin Hui is a traitor to the country, just like in later generations. The modern bronze statue of Qin Hui is insulted every day. Qin Hui's descendants can't stand it anymore and took the matter to court.

The main reason is that the story of Yue Fei's twelve gold medals is so famous, and it established Yue Fei's image of serving the country with loyalty.

Many people don't know all the historical details and background, and only listen to the stories from novels to Daxian'er.

Some people even think that Qin Hui is a "traitor" who turned against the Jin people. (In the end, he is all a big man)
But judging from Xiao Ran's understanding of the overall history.

Qin Hui's treason, for him,

In terms of official position, power and the emperor's trust in him, Qin Hui's official career in the Southern Song Dynasty was already at its peak.

, can he still be prime minister after going to the Kingdom of Jin?
Obviously impossible.

So why did Qin Hui hook up with the Jin people?

In Xiao Ran's opinion, the real reason may be simple.

Taking the honest road to fight the war and not regaining the lost ground after eleven or twelve years of fighting is obviously a huge failure.

Whether he is an emperor or a prime minister, he will not care about the difficulties of soldiers fighting outside. This battle is not easy to win.

Just like in modern society, the chairman and general manager of the company will not care whether you are doing well or not. He only knows that with this cost-effectiveness ratio, it is really a loss for you to continue doing this.

Then he is the greatest hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his status will never be shaken.

This sounds very nonsense and very unreliable.

This has to talk about another person, Wanyan Dalai Lama.

Xiao Ran turned around leisurely, looked at Zhao Kuangyin, and roughly told Zhao Kuangyin the inferences he just made.

Zhao Kuangyin felt very puzzled: "How can it be possible to obtain these lost lands by bribery, even at a lower cost than fighting?"

Xiao Ran spread his hands: "So as I said before, to some extent, Jin people are relatively honest."

"Both Qin Hui and Zhao Gou lived with the people of the Jin Kingdom for a period of time. They had seen the bravery of the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Gou was hunted down for a period of time."

"Actually, some people just have a stereotype that the Jurchens are barbaric and unreasonable. But after really understanding this period of history, I discovered that the Jurchens are more trustworthy than the Han people."

When Xiao Ran said this, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Huan all looked a little embarrassed, but they did not refute.

"Let's talk about the Han people first. They backstabbed their allies to attack the Liao Kingdom, played word games with the Jin Kingdom, and changed the agreed Youzhou into Youyun Sixteenth State. Otherwise, they didn't send troops. They fought for the territory they wanted, but ended up losing a hair. Fight it down, ask the Jin people to help fight it down, and shamelessly find someone to ask for Youyun Sixteen Provinces."

"Originally, whoever wants it will be beaten. If you can't beat it down, Jin Guo will beat it down casually, and you still look for someone to ask for it."

But thinking about Jin Guo's operation, Xiao Ran felt even more bizarre.

"The key point is that the Kingdom of Jin actually gave Youyun six of the sixteen states!"

"But the Han people took advantage and stabbed them in the back."

"The first is to encourage the Liao Kingdom to surrender its generals to rebel against the Jin Kingdom."

"This operation is really a bit pure and innocent. Jin people are not completely temperless, they will definitely be angry. But Jin Taizu Aguda is really a good person, and he didn't even beat Song."

"Then as soon as Taizu died, Taizong came to look for trouble..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran looked at Zhao Kuangyin's face and coughed awkwardly: "I'm not targeting you, let's continue talking about business."

"Originally, the top military officials of the Jin people were unhappy with the Song Dynasty. Speaking of which, if it were me, I wouldn't be happy either."

"Damn it, I gave you six states for free, and you encouraged the generals to rebel."

"Ahem." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but cough a few times. He really felt that it was a bit ugly for Xiao Ran to say this.

It's strange, why didn't I think this was done improperly before?

Xiao Ran calmed down silently: "So the Jin people sent troops and fought violently all the way. In fact, they just wanted to teach the Song Dynasty a lesson. Seeing that the Song Dynasty couldn't defeat it, the Song Dynasty sent ministers to negotiate. The negotiated terms were to give money and the Jin Kingdom to withdraw its troops. The Jin Kingdom really I just withdrew it before the money arrived.”

Speaking of it, Xiao Ran really couldn't help but want to complain: "But the Jin people didn't expect that they could cheat like this, and the Song Dynasty didn't pay them! So they became even more angry, and went south to fight again."

"This time, the prince and prime minister were named as hostages. The prime minister was the pseudo-emperor Zhang Bangchang who was supported later. At this time, Zhao Gou was named King Kang and then went to Jinying as envoy."

"I have already talked about what happened later. After Zhao Gou went there, it was said that the general of the Jin Kingdom wanted to show off his power and played archery. As a result, three arrows hit the bull's-eye. Zhao Gou also used bows and arrows to kill people later. When the Jin people saw it, hehe , he can be awesome, and it’s not too difficult for Zhao Gou.”

"As a result, during this period of time, the Song Dynasty also sent people to sneak attack the Jin camp. The result must have been settled directly by the Jin Kingdom."

"At this time, Zhao Gou, who was still a hostage, was in trouble. The Jin people found Zhao Gou and asked, do you want to cooperate with the inside and outside? Did you organize this?" At this point, Xiao Ran silently sympathized. How many points does Zhao Gou have?

He volunteered to do such a dangerous job, but as a result, his family didn't take his life seriously at all, and they didn't worry at all that he would be killed after sending troops.

"The ministers were all very frightened. They cried and kowtowed and said no. But Zhao Gou was very calm and said it was not him."

"When the Jin people saw it, they felt that he was a thorn in the side. He didn't look like the son of a useless Zhao Ji, but more like the son of a military general pretending to be a prince." "So they made a more honest decision to the end, thinking "Look, I don't want you Zhao Gou anymore. If you go back, I want Song Huizong Zhao Ji's favorite Prince Wu Su to come over and be a hostage."

"In this case, if I were from the Jin Kingdom, I would definitely ask for another prince directly, instead of leaving this one behind and bringing another one over."

Xiao Ran shook his head with emotion and said: "The Jurchens are really honest. If you want a prince, you must have a prince. If this is not right, just change it."

"So, after the humiliation of Jingkang, when the Jin people found out that Zhao Gou was the real prince, they immediately regretted it. Damn, they let a valuable product escape, so the Jin people searched the mountains and seas to inspect Zhao Gou."

To be honest, is Zhao Gou miserable?
That is really miserable!
Even now, Xiao Ran looked at Zhao Gou with colored glasses and couldn't help but sympathize with him.

You must know that Xiao Ran's current position is on the side of the patriotic warrior Yue Fei, including his support for Yue Fei's dare to fight this time.

As he spoke, Xiao Ran also relaxed slightly: "Speaking of which, Zhao Gou was not easy. When he was the emperor, he was hunted down by people from the Jin Kingdom. He was frightened to the point of physiological impotence and infertility. He also experienced Miao Liu. Mutiny, Huaixi Mutiny."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but look at Zhao Gou: "Is this true? Or is it just a fabrication? Are you feeling better?"

Zhao Gou's face turned green and white. This question was really a bit embarrassing.

Bro, bro!
Are you a little offended?
However, thinking about Xiao Ran's identity, Zhao Gou could only say angrily: "It's getting better already."

Listening to this reply, Xiao Ran understood.

Oh!
It’s not healed yet!

With a man's strong self-esteem, if this person recovers half of his life, he will swear that he is completely recovered.

Now Zhao Gou timidly said that it was better, but that was not good at all.

Forget it, then don't mention other people's sad things, it hurts your self-esteem too much.

"Ahem, let's talk about something else."

Xiao Ran forcibly changed the topic to other aspects.

"Actually, the Northern Expedition is not that simple. We can go straight to Huanglong. The Song Dynasty seems to be united, and the people are also clamoring to regain the lost territory."

"But in fact, all the warlords and rebels have their own agendas, and the place is in chaos. They want money but not money, and they want people but no one."

"On the whole, it is also because the Han people themselves are no longer very moral and disciplined, so the rule of the dynasty is destined to not be so stable."

Zhao Kuangyin was a little confused: "Why do you say that? What does it have to do with people?"

"Come on, let me give you an example. It's like at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, but he didn't dare to proclaim himself emperor. He just wanted to be honest and he was afraid of people poking his back."

"However, in the Song Dynasty, after experiencing the Wei, Jin, Sixteen Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the idea of ​​emperors taking turns has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts."

"We have been fighting for more than ten years. Each general has enough military merits to be awarded the title and has been passed down from generation to generation."

"In the past ten years or so, the Jin people themselves have become tired of fighting, and the Heavenly Peace Conference has developed relatively smoothly. Now the people in power are Wanyanchang and Wanyan Dalai Lama."

"When Qin Hui was captured and sent to the Kingdom of Jin, he worked under Wan Yanchang. It is said that Qin Hui is very capable and Wan Yanchang likes him very much."

"Qin Hui said that he escaped, but I think it was Wan Yanchang who had the privilege, so it is more likely that he would let him go on his own initiative."

Therefore, when it comes to this, the images of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui and their thoughts are very clear.

There can be a fight, and there can also be peace talks.

"What is said later is what happened on the original historical track."

"But now things have changed."

Xiao Ran simply sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it before continuing.

"In the original historical trajectory, because Yue Fei was recalled by the Twelve Gold Medals, it was possible to negotiate peace. Qin Hui contacted the old leader Wan Yanchang, and the two met to start negotiating peace."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran became more interested and vividly imitated Qin Hui's appearance in historical records.

Even Zhao Gou had to say that Xiao Ran's imitation of Qin Hui's posture was really close to the same.

"Oh, old leader, when I accompanied the emperor to hunt in the north, I worked under you. Now I am also the second-in-command of Da Song, and you are also the second-in-command of Da Jin."

"You conquered such a large territory in our Song Dynasty and didn't care about it. You first supported Zhang Bangchang, and then supported the puppet Qi Liu Yu. After fighting for so many years, after you hit the Yangtze River, there is nothing you can do to fight again."

"You are tired too, and we are tired too. Just give the Puppet Qi territory back to us. We will give you whatever money he gives you. In addition, how about we give you a big gift separately?"

"Ahem." After the performance, Xiao Ran also cleared his throat and restored his original tone and timbre.

"The final result has already been said. The Song Dynasty returned Henan, Shaanxi and other places including the capital, paid tribute of 25 silver and 25 pieces of cloth every year, and declared itself a vassal to Jin."

Looking at this now, it seems very humiliating. However, after analyzing Zhao Gou's personal thoughts before, Xiao Ran felt that maybe Zhao Gou didn't care at all about the so-called honorable matter.

There is also the annual tribute of silver.

Maybe he also felt in his heart that it would cost money to fight and pay tribute, so it would be better to spend some money and save trouble.

But now the peace negotiation is still beneficial to Zhao Gou.

It’s true that I was frightened by the Jin people and had a shadow on the Jin people. As long as I could avoid hitting them, I would try my best not to hit them.

I was really scared, I was scared out of my mind.

The fear deep in my bones makes it impossible to face the Jin man forcefully.

"The benefit of this peace negotiation is that the Kingdom of Jin will return Zhao Gou's father's coffin and return Zhao Gou's biological mother."

"Although Song Huizong had been dead for several years when the peace was negotiated, the coffin was always in the hands of the Jin people."

"This matter has been going on for more than ten years, and the final result is that Song Dynasty took back the lost land, but the money has not yet been paid. The Jin Kingdom has returned the land, but it has not yet returned Zhao Gou's parents."

"I can only say that this time, Jin Guo learned a little bit wiser."

"But then there was a coup in the Kingdom of Jin, and Wan Yanchang, the peace leader, was killed. Wanyan Zongbi and the others came to power, and the more they thought about it, the more they lost. Such a large territory only costs 250,000 yuan a year. Wan Yanchang must have taken it for himself. You get the kickbacks for the benefits." (End of this chapter)
