Chapter 618 Ambition
Chapter 618 Ambition
Zhang Hongdao tried to understand Li Xia.
He sat in the study for a whole night, recalling all the intersections with Li Xia over the past three years.After that, play on the map.
When all the clues were pieced together, he also saw Li Xia's ambition clearly.
Not surprising.
Out of respect for Li Xia, Zhang Hongdao also carefully analyzed whether his ambitions could be realized...
Taking history as a mirror, there was a prime minister in Zhao and Song Dynasty, Han Wuzhou, who participated in a coup, supported Song Ningzong, monopolized power, and then attempted the Northern Expedition.
Tens of thousands of taels of gold were used as military supplies, and Wu Xi, Su Shidan, Bi Zaiyu, Xin Qiji and others were used.
Just after the Northern Expedition was deployed, traitors appeared. The Jin people secretly contacted Wu Xi.
Han Tuozhou is still waiting to fight again, and the capitulation faction in the Song court has negotiated peace with the state of Jin, killed Han Tuozhou, and sent the letter to Anbian.
Zhang Hongdao looked and looked, despite Han Tuozhou's various mistakes such as hasty preparations and improper employment during the Northern Expedition... The field strength of the Song Army is also completely unworthy of the table.
Also, do the Song people really have the heart of the Northern Expedition?
Before the soldiers and horses crossed the Huaihe River, Han Tuozhou was first stabbed twice by his own people...
Looking at Mongolia today, even if it is divided into pieces, it is far stronger than the Jin Kingdom that "must be chaotic and must perish".
However, Zhao Song's national power is far from what it used to be.
As for Li Xia, if he is loyal to Song, his strength is far inferior to that of Han Yuzhou, so he can only be buried with Song;
Looking back at the present age, Li Fenjiu operated in Shandong, stored grain and grass, withheld salt, bought horses at high prices, and trained [-] elite soldiers, yet he dared not directly rebel.
It is fair to say that no matter how powerful Li Xia is, his power is unsightly compared to any prince.
After thinking about it, I can't see the possibility of it happening.
The general trend of the world, the scholars in the north had temple plans as early as ten years ago, but this Li Xia couldn't understand...
After thinking about it all night, Zhang Hongdao looked up again, only to see that the sky had already brightened.
He called the maidservant.
"Go and ask the elder sister to come and see me."
……
After drinking the rice porridge, Zhang Hongdao handed out the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Zhang Wenjing, who was sitting there watching the information, "Have you finished reading?"
"Well, it's over."
"Then you and my brother and sister can talk openly and honestly." Zhang Hongdao said in a calm tone, "Father is away fighting and left me to look after the house. The family affairs, what I am most concerned about..."
"Got it." Zhang Wenjing replied angrily.
Zhang Hongdao shook his head, still babbling a bit.
"After the new year, I will be twenty, and I will be an old girl in my boudoir, and I will not be able to marry in the future."
"That's good." Zhang Wenjing said: "Father and brother want me to marry, so just marry, and the three letters and six gifts are also accepted. Fifth brother, please arrange the wedding date."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Hongdao tapped on the table lightly, maintaining a peaceful tone, and said, "You should know that family matters are important. Don't ruin the stability and prosperity of the Zhang family because of your personal relationship with your children."
"I know."
"Father and brother have done their best for you. In the middle of the year, before the news about you and Li Xia spread, I even considered sending you to Hanzhong. But now His Majesty knows the truth, Li Xia is too ostentatious, and the Battle of Hanzhong stole the limelight. Therefore, Your Majesty Give him the best conditions to recruit him..."
"He disdains." Zhang Wenjing put the information in his hand on the case, and spread it out for Zhang Hongdao to take a look, with a hint of pride in his tone, "Look, brother, he went to Lin'an in person..."
"Yes, in the face of His Majesty's surrender, he submitted a letter to the cowardly Lord Zhao Song. I got the news that he planned to kill people with a knife, and he broke it with his backhand."
"Then why does Fifth Brother need to humiliate himself?"
Zhang Hongdao's demeanor was much calmer than before, and he didn't feel annoyed, he said, "I know what you think, he has done even greater things in Lin'an, and his man... is outstanding in the world."
At this point in his words, he raised his hand to prevent Zhang Wenjing from speaking.
"I admit that you have a unique vision. What you see is that the man is really amazing. Look, I am willing to praise him, and it doesn't matter if you are satisfied, but what's the use of him being good? He won't surrender. We gave him the best. If he refuses to surrender, and still shows off, this son will surely become the enemy of the Central Plains and a thorn in His Majesty's eyes. How can you marry him?"
Zhang Hongdao sighed, earnestly said: "Father loves you, from childhood to adulthood, how many things did not meet your wishes? If there is a way to protect the prosperity of the family and allow you to match your sweetheart, why not? But I only ask you , now unless he surrenders, is there any other way? Could it be that you want your father and brother to abandon His Majesty and vote for Zhao Song because of your involvement? It makes me sick to say it."
This is of course impossible.
The Zhang family lived in Baozhou for a long time. It belonged to Liao 300 years ago and Jin for more than a hundred years. They regard Liao and Jin as the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.
why?
Zhao Song admitted that paying tribute and becoming a minister is like every time a vassal's subjects came to worship in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
From the rise of Mongols, the fall of the Jin Kingdom, to the moment when Kublai Khan proclaimed himself emperor, this has truly become a dispute between the orthodox dynasties in the Central Plains.
When will it be the turn of a small vassal state to intervene?
Because a daughter fell in love with a general of a vassal state, and the whole family?
No matter how much Zhang Rou loves her daughter, it is impossible for her to do such a stupid thing...
Zhang Wenjing understood this and asked, "Fifth Brother wants me to write a letter to persuade him?"
"Yes, I would like you to write to persuade him."
"He won't say yes."
"That's easy." Zhang Hongdao spread out his hands, and said in a relaxed tone, "If he doesn't care, you can rest."
Zhang Wenjing didn't answer, looked at the map that Zhang Hongdao used for deduction on the table, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "A character like him, I don't want to live under others for a long time."
"That's right, Li Xia's ambitions can't be hidden from the Zhao family, but I can't hide it from me. He is the same as Li Fen's generation... Don't talk, okay, he is more capable than Li Fen, but what about his strength? How many years have the two generations of Li Fen and his son managed in Shandong ? How long has he been in Sichuan? Not more than half a year. You can’t support the Song Dynasty, let alone stand on your own? Don’t take the world situation too simply.”
Zhang Wenjing just looked at the map, thinking.
Zhang Hongdao smiled wryly, and said: "I know you are smart, so I won't hide it from you. I was trying to figure out whether he could raise an army and accomplish something, but it turned out to be absolutely impossible. Even if he took ten thousand steps back, he would be able to succeed in the future. God, how many years? Ten years? Twenty years? What has it to do with you. You old lady, you just need to know that you can't marry him."
Zhang Wenjing smiled, and suddenly asked: "Fifth brother thinks he will attack Dali?"
"That's right, Mengge Khan's death, his Southwest mediation plan is useless, and Ashu raises his troops back to the north, Dali may be captured by Li Xia. But so what? It takes at least three months to conquer Dali's people's hearts." In five years, the people's livelihood in Sichuan and Shu was declining, and the people's livelihood in Dali was declining. The lack of livelihood has been restored for 20 years. Dali was plundered without people's strength or material resources. , If you are passive, you will lose sooner or later. In three to five years, His Majesty put down the rebellion of brother Alibu, and has swept the Liuhe, and no one in the world can stop it."
At this point, Zhang Hongdao consciously talked too much, and finally said: "You and my brother and sister make an agreement, you write a letter to Li Xia, if he is willing to join, my father and I will happily marry you. But he If you refuse, how about you marry someone else if you die?"
"Fifth Brother has been thinking about this all night."
"Well, it's not for you."
"You've been thinking about it all night, but you asked me to answer right away, how unreasonable is that?"
"How are you doing?"
"Of course, let me think about it again." Zhang Wenjing smiled, and pointed to various information and maps on the case, and said, "Give these to me too, okay?"
"Now that the truth is understood, what do you need to do?"
Zhang Wenjing took it for granted: "Even if you want to write a letter, you should have reasons and evidence to convince him."
Zhang Hongdao sighed again, only to feel that the younger sister's temperament became more and more tenacious, seemingly calm and peaceful, but her infatuation was unbreakable.
He waved.
"take it."
Zhang Wenjing smiled, stepped forward, and tidied it up carefully, looking quite serious.
Zhang Hongdao saw that the beautiful girl raised by his family had become such a virtuous person, he was agitated, he didn't bother to look at her anymore, and walked out confidently.
Zhang Wenjing heard her brother's footsteps fading away, her smile faded, and she looked a little sad.
But when he picked up the Lin'an information and glanced at it again, his eyes inevitably glowed again.
She tidied up these things carefully, and went back to the house without laying hands on the servant girl.
After studying ink, I want to write a letter...
But when you think about Li Xia's arrogance, if you don't guess what he's thinking, it's useless to persuade him.
The writing brush was put aside again, Zhang Wenjing picked up the deduction map and began to think about it.
"You look so confident, what are your plans?"
……
Zhang Hongdao wrote a lot of small script on the map, thinking very carefully.
After watching it for a while, Zhang Wenjing knew that even if Zhao Song's constraints were not mentioned, the population and horses must first choke Li Xia's possibility of growing in Sichuan and Shu.
The point is, even if these problems are solved, I don't know how many years it will take, so how can we wait?
After thinking for a long time, her eyelids became darker, her head tilted, the writing brush on the desk flicked, and the ink stained her face.
"Ok?"
Looking at the two dots of ink on the map, Zhang Wenjing's mind was moved, and she couldn't help muttering.
"As long as the Liu family or the Wang family are willing to help him..."
On second thought, it was even more impossible after all.
