Chapter 20 Don't do what the enemy wants you to do

Chapter 20 Don't do what the enemy wants you to do
According to Qin Hui's statement, everyone in the hall looked ashamed.

The people in the capital admire the emperor so much and love the country so much, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty made the country fall into such a shameful situation.

Zhao Huan glanced at the crowd and said sharply: "Ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, it turns out that there are still one or two people who know the integrity and shame. They know that the hearts of the people can't be blamed, and the people can't be blamed. But look at how you repay these loyalty and enthusiasm, and share the sympathy with the country. The common people? Let the common people be exposed to the iron hooves of the golden army, from Liuzi in the east, Xijing in the west, Hanshang in the south, and Heshuo in the north. People point their fingers."

"Your salary, your salary, the fat of the people, the anointment of the people!"

"Touch your own conscience. When you bow your knees, are you worthy of the love of the people? Are you worthy of the admiration of all people if you send the people before the golden army's butcher knife!"

One thing must be admitted, that is, good people are bullied by others, and those who dare to denounce right and wrong will be feared even more.

As the emperor, Zhao Huan personally condemned the Zhuhe faction, no, to say that the word denounced was a bit light, and he was pointing the nose at the ministers of the capitulation faction.In the feudal hierarchical society, how courageous are the ministers of the Lord Peace faction to continue to promote the idea of ​​Lord Harmony?If they had this kind of backbone and waistline, how could they be reduced to the peace faction?
After the news of today's situation spread, even though the ministers of the peace faction had 1 thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to discuss peace negotiations in the court in front of Zhao Huan.

There is no need to have unrealistic expectations of feudal ministers, thinking that they will fight the emperor to the end.In this context, even in a society where everyone is equal in the future, how many people dare to stand up to the leadership's scolding and scolding, and reiterate their views?
And the people of the later generations boast that the people's wisdom has been developed, and the leaders dare not kill people at will.Things that cannot be done under such circumstances, let the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty end up confronting the emperor tit for tat, I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding of human nature and reality.

Therefore, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Feng Xi, although opposed to the main battle, only dared to ask in a roundabout way: "The official family, now that the walls are broken, if we continue to fight the Jin army, will it harm the people? Let millions of people die tragically." Under the saber."

Zhao Huan frowned, and he was about to end the game himself and anger Feng Xie.Even so, it is shameless for me to be a debater and a referee at the same time.But in the past 2000 years, most of the feudal emperors have played this shameless role.

I have just traveled for a day, and my head may be chopped off by Jin Jun at any time, so I don't have the energy to fight political battles with him.

But before Zhao Huan opened his mouth, Mei Zhili, the deputy of the left-behind department in Tokyo, asked, "Why does Feng Zuocheng have such confidence in the Jin army? As long as we can meet the needs of the Jin army, I can sleep peacefully in Kyoto." ?”

Feng Chen opened his mouth and was about to reply, but when the words reached his lips, he saw the official staring at him angrily.Feng Chen is convinced that as long as his heart is for the golden man today.It's hard to say whether he will be beheaded or dismissed from office, but in the future, don't think about taking half a step forward in his official career.On the official blacklist, as long as he makes the slightest mistake in the future, he will be immediately relegated to Lingnan by the official.

Everything was just as Feng Xi expected, as long as he dared to speak, Zhao Huan immediately labeled him as a minister of the Lord Peace School and kicked him out of the court center.

Whether the main battle will cause heavy casualties to the people, Zhao Huan is still unclear, but the main battle is definitely a dead end.

Historically, during the siege of the Jin army, graves were excavated outside Tokyo, and corpses were taken out of the coffin.Half of the victims of the epidemic in the city were left dead on the road, and they were taken for food. Some of them had not yet died, and the meat was also shaved, mixed with pork and horse meat, and sold to the common people.In the later period, when the vegetables were exhausted, the people could only eat algae in the water.

Zhao Huan really touched such things as algae in his previous life. It was a sticky, greasy ball, and it could make people sick to death.I really can't imagine how the people in Tokyo can eat it.

Feng Xi obviously didn't have the courage to gamble his future for a group of "untouchables", so he defended in a low voice: "I also think about the people, and I always have to consider the consequences of resistance, don't I?"

Zhang Shuye sat in the same place, with a neutral tone, and said: "The common people died in fighting and resisting, defending their homes and defending the country, because they died for what they deserved. How can it be generalized to die when they were captured and slaughtered by the Jin army?"

At present, the ministers of the main war faction are almost criticizing the main peace faction, and Sun Fu also stands decisively in line, saying: "Why does Feng Zuocheng have such no confidence in the people in the capital? How do you know that millions of soldiers and civilians in Tokyo will die tragically under the golden saber? A while ago In time, the Jin army broke through the four walls, and the old minister and I organized street battles in the city together. The people came like clouds, and the Jin soldiers were completely driven back to the four walls. The militiamen spontaneously seized the Wansheng Gate, and more than 26 people ran away. As long as they are determined and brave to fight, the Du people can even take back the sixteen gates of the outer city one by one, and drive the Jin army out of the four walls."

Zhao Huan turned his head and glanced helplessly at the furious veteran, and sighed deeply.This old Confucian minister really failed to achieve success and failed, and a good situation let him collapse.

Qin Hui's buttocks had already left his seat, and he was about to impeach Feng Chen for his deceitful words in the court hall to confuse the crowd and shake people's hearts.Hearing Sun Fu's words, he shrank again, retreated to the middle of the chair, and Gulu looked at everyone in the hall with his eyes.

Sure enough, Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation of being pressed by every step was greatly relieved. He smiled and mocked: "Leaving aside the casualties of the people, does Sun Liushou believe his last words? Only the people of the capital can take back the outer city Sixteen gates, drive the Jin army out of the outer city?"

Sun Fu's face flushed instantly, but his neck was still stiff, and he said: "Sima Wenzheng (Sima Guang), it was recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian, that the basis of using troops to attack wars is to care about the people. With one heart, the three armies work together. There are millions of people, and if they fight for benevolence and righteousness, they will surely win every battle. How can we not expel the Jin army?"

What a good example.Sima Wenzheng!Sima Guang is famous for smashing vats, but for the things he did in state governance, he returned all the land of Xixia that the New Party had brought down with all its power, and it was never an exaggeration to call him a traitor.Therefore, later generations commented on it: "The literati are more harmful to the country than the warriors."

Seeing that the official's face was already darker than coal balls, and the famous Bao Longtu in this dynasty was probably at the same level, Sun Fu knew that he had been photographed on the horse's leg again.

Sima Guang's status also fluctuated in the Song Dynasty. From Song Zhezong to Song Huizong, the emperors of the two dynasties degraded Sima Guang's posthumous titles again and again.Then he will be relegated to the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy, and then chased and demoted Zhuya Army Sihu to join the army.At this time, Sima Guang, the dignified prime minister, had been demoted to a low-level soldier.

How many people have heard of the posthumous title? How many have heard of the relegation?It can be seen how the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty gritted their teeth with hatred for Sima Guang, and refused to let him go after death.

And the reason why Sun Fu praised Sima Guang highly is because Sima Guang was restored to his status under the order of the government last year, and he bestowed it on the grand master and gave him a posthumous posthumous title again.Sun Fu thought that the officials would appreciate this appeasement and compromise minister very much.

But obviously, this posthumous posthumous pursuit may not last even for a year.Judging by the degree of disgrace of the officials, I am afraid that not only can Sima Guang be deprived of his posthumous posthumous posthumous title, but he can even be directly thrown into the biographies of traitors.

It is normal to have such a difference. Song Qinzong, Zhao Huan's predecessor, was the same as his brother Song Gaozong Wanyangou, both of whom were weak and sought peace, so they respected Sima Guang more.Sima Guang's posthumous title was basically restored by these two brothers.

But now Zhao Huan is a staunch main fighter, and he naturally doesn't like Sima Guang at all.

If the Jin army can be driven away only by benevolence, righteousness and morality, why do we need the army?Push the rotten Confucianism to the city wall, and the Jin Army will be sour.

So Zhao Huan said: "Sima Guang is a lesson learned from the past. We must not repeat the same mistakes and do things that hurt our loved ones and make our enemies happy."

"A famous king in the West once said, don't do what the enemy wants you to do. The reason is very simple, because the enemy wants you to do it."

"Back then when the Xihe River opened up, Xi, He, Tao, Min, Die, Dang and other prefectures were recovered, and more than [-] miles of land was expanded. Xixia hoped that the Song Dynasty would return the land, but Sima Guang took over [-] miles of great mountains and rivers. It was returned to Xixia, and the people of the West celebrated with joy, and I was full of controversy."

"Now under the city of Kaifeng, the Jin army hopes that our court will stop resisting and let it be its meat. Will my court do what the Jin people want again? Take the initiative to bow down and send the people to the Jin army's butcher knife?"

Feng Chen's face was stiff, and he didn't dare to talk about benevolence, justice and morality.Sima Guang can be regarded as a typical representative of the conservative scholar-officials in the Central Plains for thousands of years, and he is the spiritual leader of all the peace parties.He gave Xixia free of charge the land that countless soldiers of the Shenzong dynasty had regained with their lives.This incident is indeed a national commemoration of the entire Song Dynasty.Otherwise, Sima Guang would not be chased and demoted by successive monarchs and ministers, and demoted again and again.

Now the officials have pulled Sima Guang out to flog Sima Guang's corpse, and the ministers of the Conservative Lord and Harmony faction are also ashamed.At this time, if we continue to discuss how to satisfy the golden man's wish, I am afraid that there is a high probability that he will follow in Sima Guang's footsteps.

In the case of Zhao Huanla's partiality, Sun Fu obviously won a complete victory, with a proud face on his face, he said in a confident manner: "The Jin people originated in the barren land outside the Great Wall, with a population of only tens of thousands, and they just broke through the Liao Kingdom the year before last. , the tens of millions of people under the rule had not had time to digest it, so they sent troops to the south and invaded our country. At this time, the purpose of the Jin army was clear, and it was to hope that our dynasty would not resist and let it take whatever it wanted. Previously, He Su and others were weak and wanted peace , It can be said that it is in the arms of the Jin people. For the sake of the country and the livelihood of the people, the imperial court should also be prepared to stick to the heart of resistance."

"As long as Tokyo is still fighting hard, it will be able to inspire the soldiers of the four states and counties, and the loyal ministers of the world, to work together and rush to the national calamity."

The corner of Zhao Huan's mouth was smiling, he finally waited for your sentence, and he was worthy of spending so long to hold the meeting of the chief executive at this moment when every moment is extremely important.

"Since it is the consensus of the court to stick to Tokyo, Qing and others, as the country's prime ministers, must implement policies and make preparations early."

The other ministers lowered their heads tacitly, watching their noses and noses and their hearts, leaving only Sun Fu and Feng Xi who had been standing alone looking forward to the officials.

Especially Sun Fu, who made an impassioned statement just now, even if he wants to sit back now, he still feels sorry for his face.I had no choice but to bite the bullet and assured Zhao Huan: "I will advise the people in the inner city to be prepared for long-term defense."

Zhao Huan nodded in satisfaction, which showed the benefits of being a prime minister.

It is myself who is firm in the main battle, unites with the people, and wins the respect of the people.And it was the prime minister who declared the state of war, expropriated food, and rationed food.

The benefits are borne by oneself, and the blame is borne by others.No pattern is more satisfying than this.

It can be clearly foreseen that defending the inner city will be an arduous and protracted bloody battle.

Even though the people are now very motivated and shouting for resistance, but after a long period of suffering, they will inevitably be resentful towards the gloomy, desperate, and arduous and cold defense of the city. At that time, the role of this scapegoat will be revealed.

After all, although the officials accepted the hope of the world and decided to resist, they did not instruct how to prepare.All wartime preparations are promulgated by the prime ministers.This will not only allow someone to bear the burden of venting the anger of the people, but also ease the impact of public opinion on the main battle.Zhao Huan can ease the situation by changing the prime minister, and continue to lead the people in the inner city to resist to the end.
