I studied in modern times

Chapter 334 The blackened dog licker Nong Zhigao
Sima Guang walked into the familiar Chongzheng Hall.

His body has not fully recovered, and riding out of the city today has consumed too much energy.

Therefore, he stood on the temple, his body swaying somewhat.

But he still persisted, standing stubbornly and upright.

He is telling others that I was just sick once, I have recovered, and I can continue to assist the emperor!

With a sound of music.

The little figure of the emperor appeared from the back of the palace, surrounded by royal weapons and female officials.

Then he went up to the palace and sat on the throne.

"Keep Mr. Sima waiting!" The emperor's voice was still as tender, gentle and full of care as before.

"Feng Jing, go quickly and give Mr. Sima a seat and tea..."

"only!"

So, a chair was placed behind Sima Guang, and a cup of hot tea was served.

After Sima Guang thanked him, he slowly sat down.

"Young Master is my minister who was left behind by the imperial examination. He is a famous person in the world. He is still alive and dying. Why do you keep writing letters for trivial matters?"

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment as he listened.

Is it trivial?
In the eyes of the emperor, is this just a trivial matter?
He immediately held his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the military is a major matter for the country, the place of life and death, how can it be a small matter?"

"I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"

Just listen to the official saying sincerely from the throne: "What Mr. Sima said is very true... I was indignant..."

"The so-called lion fights the rabbit, so it should be done with all your strength!"

"I will definitely remember the public's advice, face Jiaozhi squarely, and go all out!"

The tone and tone of the official's speech were very much like a student listening carefully in class.

This made Sima Guang a little dazed.

"That's not what I meant," he said quickly.

If officials misinterpret his meaning like this...

Sima Guang seemed to have seen the terrifying scene of a large number of Western Army elites, mobilized by the imperial edict, converging on Guangnan West Road from various roads along the border.

He suddenly had a chill!
How much food will it cost?
Sima Guang said: "What the old minister means is..."

"It is true that Jiaozhi is wrong, but it is also a deadly weapon... the saint has no choice but to use it..."

"Qifu, once the army moves, countless amounts of food and grass will be consumed..."

"The sufferings of the people in the world are already severe today... May your Majesty think of all the people in the world and temporarily calm down the wrath of thunder..."

Sima Guang said, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty may not know... Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the vassal towns have been domineering, and it has lasted for five dynasties. The heroes have competed, and the nine states have been divided and defeated. The soldiers have devoured each other, and the people have been devastated. So far, It’s only been a hundred years…”

"Fortunately, I, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, received the order of heaven to wipe out the heroes and bring glory to Jingzuo, and Taizong succeeded him and conquered Juexun! Then all the traces of Yu the Great were traced to the Song Dynasty. So he cultivated literature and martial arts, rested with the people, and the people From birth to death, there is no war! The officials abide by the law, and the people live in peace and prosperity. So the cocks crow, the dogs bark, and whips and fires look at each other. It can be said to be the ultimate peace, which has been rare since ancient times..."

"If war breaks out again now, if the war continues and wars happen one after another, how will the people be blamed? How will the common people be blamed?"

Sima Guang finished speaking in one breath and suddenly felt a little breathless.

The official on the throne seemed to have noticed this and gave instructions to the chamberlain beside him.

Then one of the ministers came forward, patted Sima Guang's back gently, and asked him if he needed an imperial doctor?

Naturally, Sima Guang refused categorically - he was asking for an imperial doctor after just a few words in front of the emperor?Once word spreads, he will have to retire.

And this is something he doesn't want to do anyway.

because……

The emperor on the throne is still young and still needs his assistance. He needs him to tell the emperor what a scholar-official is! ?
Because there are too many villains in this city.

He needs Sima Guang to tell the emperor - what are the real scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty like?
Sima Guang just raised his head and stared at the young official sitting on the high throne, waiting for his answer.

Just listen to the official saying: "What Mr. Sima said is indeed true!"

"I, inheriting the teachings of Huang Kao, and following the etiquette and teachings of the saints... should cultivate literature and martial arts, and live in the world..."

"But this time it was Jiaozhi who took the initiative to invade!"

"Soldiers are deadly weapons, and saints must use them as a last resort!"

"But I heard that the ancient saint kings made five soldiers to ward off violence, kill evil, and protect the people and their families!"

"If only Jiaozhi invades the invaders, and I, the Song Dynasty, cannot punish..."

"Doesn't this encourage all barbarians from all over the world to invade?"

"There are police in all directions, barbarians are invading each other...the world is collapsing, just before our eyes!"

When Zhao Xu was in modern times, he had already learned how to talk to people and talk to ghosts.

Therefore, he pretended to be sensible and filial in front of the Empress Dowager, and pretended to be a good son in front of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

The same is true in front of ministers.

He expressed to Han Jiang his posthumous honor and family glory.

He chose Lu Gongzhu's sons and grandsons to be by his side.

He promoted all three sons of Yanda to be his close ministers, and he continued to care and express condolences to Professor Miao.

In short, he is what kind of king the ministers need him to be.

Just like at this moment, in front of Sima Guang, he played the image of the king that Sima Guang hoped for.

A young king who is good at accepting advice, kind-hearted, and follows etiquette.

In this way, he can not only get the support of Sima Guang.

He could also ask Sima Guang to help him do things and endorse him.

As a result, Sima Guang suddenly became speechless.

Because what Zhao Xu said is indeed correct and makes sense.

Moreover, even Sima Guang admitted that it was indeed wrong for the Jiaozhi people to take the initiative to invade.

Now the reactions of the two palaces and the ruling and opposition parties are normal.

Therefore, Sima Guang could only take a deep breath and continue to persuade: "What your Majesty said is true!"

"I just heard that in the past when Shun was in power, there were some Miao who refused to obey, and Yu was about to attack them. Shun said: No, practicing martial arts without great virtue is unethical! After three years of practicing teaching, I was able to dance with my cadres, and there was a Miao who was Clothes!"

"May your Majesty follow the way of a saint, practice education and accumulate virtue, and Jiaozhi will naturally be in awe of you..."

Zhao Xu sighed: "But Beilu knows about this..."

"If I invade the bandits in Jiaozhi, I won't be able to punish... Once the Northern and Western bandits join forces..."

"Therefore, it's not that I don't want to stop the troops, but I really have to use them!"

I played the Allied Surprise card, Mr. Sima, how will you respond?
Zhao Xu was very curious about this.

Sima Guang swallowed!This was exactly what troubled him most about this matter.

Among contemporary patients with severe Liaophobia, apart from the two palaces in the palace, Sima Guang is the most severe one.

It can be said that if the Liao people just shouted at the border, Sima Guang in Bianjing would be shocked!

Sima Guang could only bite the bullet and persuaded: "Your Majesty, there is actually a way that does not require fighting..."

"As long as the King of Jiaozhi is willing to send an envoy to apologize, and at the same time hand over the culprit of the invasion..."

"I want to too..." Zhao Xu sighed falsely: "But what if Jiaozhi doesn't want to?"

"This is the reason why I sent Mr. Zhang to go south, and also asked Di Yong to lead the army south!"

"That's why I only sent five thousand troops south!"

Zhao Xu said with compassion on his face: "Soldiers are deadly weapons, and saints use them as a last resort!"

"If Jiaozhiguo can be respectful, hand over the culprit of the invasion, and send an envoy to thank..."

"Why don't I want to stop fighting?"

If the Jiaozhi people are willing to send envoys to apologize, they are willing to hand over Yang Jingtong.

Zhao Xu will roll around laughing in Bianjing City.

The Yang family was a vassal town in the north of Jiaozhi, a semi-independent separatist force. It was also a watchdog placed on the border by the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi.

If the people of Jiaozhi hand over Yang Jingtong, the country in the north will immediately be in chaos.

Those wealthy families who surrendered in the past will die in grief.

All the wealthy families in the north will lose confidence in Shenglong Mansion.

In this way, the Song Dynasty could even get all the wealthy families in the north to join the Song Dynasty without any effort.

Zhao Xu was too lazy to set up a county in Jiaozhi.

It's too far away and too troublesome to manage.

He can be generous and give these wealthy families autonomy.

He already wrote it clearly in the pamphlet he gave to Zhang Dun, Di Yong and others - I want to imitate the story of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

什么 故事？
If you call me Khan, then I will love you!
I also promise that I will only love you!

I don’t want to love the ministers and people who love you.

So……

The entire northern part of Jiaozhi can be transformed into toast.

On this issue, Zhao Xu has enough confidence and believes in the wisdom of future generations.

Just possess it in name only.

Anyway, Zhao Xu didn't think those places were very important.

Zhao Xu only wants local economic output.

All he wants is candy!

The best thing is to plant sugar cane locally!
Make sugarcane the only and main local cash crop.

This is the magical skill that Zhao Xu learned in modern times - colonization!
How does Sima Guang know this?
Hearing Zhao Xu's promise, he was immediately inspired and worshiped: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

However, he was still a little worried and asked: "Your Majesty, you will only use five thousand soldiers and horses?"

Zhao Xu replied: "This is natural!"

"Although I am young, I still know the sufferings of the world. Especially after reading your words, Sima Gong, I have already understood the sufferings of the people!"

"If possible, I would rather skip one meal myself so that the people can have food and clothing!"

Sima Guang was immediately moved.

With tears streaming down his face, he bowed and said, "Your majesty, your benevolent sage, will surely usher in a peaceful and prosperous age!"

So, Sima Guang said goodbye with satisfaction.

Zhao Xu watched the old party member Chi Qi's retreating figure with a smile on his face.

He would indeed only use Di Yong's five thousand imperial troops.

However, Dong Ding from Nong Zhihui and his son, Nong Shengde and his son can recruit tens of thousands.

In addition, when Zhao Xu studied the Xining War with his teacher in modern times, he learned a secret that is now hidden by Nong Zhihui and no one except Nong's family knows.

The secret is that after Nong Zhigao was defeated and disappeared, Nong Zhi would quietly take Nong Zhigao's son and daughter to him and raise them up, lying to the outside world that they were his children.

This is an ace!
The Nongzhigao Rebellion not only swept through Guangxi and Guangdong during the Song Dynasty, but also stirred up most of Jiaozhi.

He even lost tens of thousands of troops in Jiaozhi!

For the ethnic minorities in northern Cochin who were oppressed by the Li Dynasty of Cochin, Nong Zhigao was a hero, a leader and even a king!
This is also the reason why Nong Zhihui, Nong Shengde and others are able to occupy one side - the appeal of the Nong family is extremely powerful!

Zhao Xu can definitely canonize Nong Zhigao's son.

Let him become the leader of Guangyuan Prefecture or Silang or even Cochin, Suzhou, Maozhou and other places.

So, this is not a war between two countries at all.

It was a war in which the Song Dynasty stood on the commanding heights of fairness, benevolence, justice and morality to promote the uprising of the northern ethnic minorities who were widely oppressed by Cochin.

"Nong Zhigao..." Zhao Xu chewed on the name.

According to the information he has seen in modern times, the Nong Zhigao Rebellion is actually a tragedy that licked the dog to the end and finally turned black!
Before the rebellion, Nong Zhigao repeatedly wrote to the Song Dynasty asking for inclusion.

But Renmiao always refuses without hesitation!
There is only one reason - the Nong family is a vassal of Jiaozhi!

So, Nong Zhigao turned black!
Because his father died in the hands of the Cochin people.

The Dong tribe headed by the Nong family has been oppressed, exploited, persecuted and humiliated by Jiaozhi for a long time.

He originally hoped to join the Song Dynasty and embrace the Song Dynasty.

However, Song Dynasty continued to refuse.

The blackened Nong Zhigao finally made a shocking change!

He even almost succeeded in establishing a country - if Di Qing hadn't been born out of nowhere.

Thinking about these things, Zhao Xu rubbed his hands.

The Nong family is a trump card!
Nong Zhigao's son is even more of a surprise!

As long as we control the Nong family and make good use of the hatred between the ethnic minorities in northern Cochin and the people of Cochin.

The fighting core composed of five thousand forbidden troops was enough to plunge the entire northern part of Jiaozhi into turmoil.

Even if it cannot be ruled by crossing the Fuliang River with Jiaozhi.

At least the old places of Nong Zhigao such as Guangyuan Prefecture and Silang Prefecture can be separated from Jiaozhi.
