The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 8

When I returned to Ninggan Palace and drank tea for a while, I saw Xiao Qi hurried in to report: "Eunuch Li, please see me."

Again?

I know it must be about today's court meeting again, Xie Daoqing's news is too fast, Ma Tingluan is making trouble in the court, Xie Daoqing seems to be going to be a peacemaker.

"Your Majesty, how does it feel to go to court for the first time today?" Xie Daoqing remained calm.

"After returning to the mother, the child was a little nervous when he came to court, and asked the mother to give advice."

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. You'll get used to it. What Ma Tingluan said today was purely his own. His original intention was only to worry that His Majesty had just come to court, and he would not think carefully about many aspects. That's why he said this. He is a man. A straightforward person has no malicious intentions, and the officials should not take it to heart."

"My son knows, don't worry, the queen mother. In the future, if you encounter confusion in court affairs, the boy will often come to ask the queen mother for instructions."

Xie Daoqing nodded slightly and said: "I'm just a married woman, and the officials have to make their own decisions on national affairs, but the officials need to be familiar with the affairs of the court as soon as possible so that they can grasp Longting as soon as possible."

"The child thanked his mother and taught him."

"Well, let's go." Xie Daoqing was unwilling to talk to me too much, and immediately issued an order to evict me.

The imperial power, the imperial power, and the prime minister's power are three pillars. Xie Daoqing is naturally unwilling to push me to Jia Sidao's side. Ma Tingluan's remarks at the court seemed a little too hasty, so Xie Daoqing had to personally appease me.

Although I am currently the weakest link among the three powers, I represent the orthodoxy of the throne. Whichever side I lean towards, that side will prevail.

In the next few days, apart from going to court and practicing martial arts, I spent most of my time in the imperial study on the second floor of Ninggan Palace.

At this time, it was mid-November in the fifth year of Jingding, although it was cold and windy outside, the house was as warm as spring.

The sealing performance of this royal palace is quite good, and the heating furnace is also exquisitely designed. The life of the emperor is different, but I don't know how the ancient common people lived.

The life of common people has a fashionable word in modern times, called people's livelihood. This is a major event related to the long-term foundation of a country, and it is also a long-term task that I have to face. When I am free, I have to go out for a walk. However, it is absolutely true that there is no voice without investigation.

In addition to people's livelihood, there are a lot of things such as national economy, military affairs, political power, humanities, etc. It seems that this ancient emperor is not easy to be. With so much knowledge to learn, it is no wonder that many emperors simply spread their hands and become a foolish king. Yongjun is much more relaxed.

There are many books, memorials, and documents in the Imperial Study Room. Fortunately, I read books very quickly. Within a few days, I browsed through them. It was similar to what I imagined. The actual national conditions are full of holes. This is probably the case for every dynasty before its demise.

At this time, the territory was shrinking day by day. Since Dali Kingdom was destroyed by Mongols in [-], the Southern Song court could only take one side, and retreated to the Huaihe River in the north. As a result of the partial fall of Sichuan, when I think of Liu Zheng's defection to the enemy, I can't wait to scold Jia Sidao, Lu Wende and other scum.Liu Zheng can rebel and occupy the mountain as king, but I will never forgive him for surrendering to the enemy and traitorous country, so I will definitely kill him in the future, and of course I will not let Jia Sidao and others let go.

Fortunately, there was civil strife in Mongolia at this time, and Kublai Khan's throne was unstable, so he retreated to the north in time, which gave me three years.Three years later, the famous Xiangyang War will begin.That is to say, I must change the status quo within three years, and the most important thing is to change the status quo of the army, otherwise I will fall behind in history and fall into an extremely unfavorable situation.

Although the Mongols have surpassed the Song Dynasty in terms of military combat effectiveness, from the perspective of the overall strength of the two countries, the current Song Dynasty is still slightly ahead of Mongolia.

The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was not defeated by the Mongols, but by itself.

Since Yu Gong, the only outstanding general should be Li Tingzhi. This Li Tingzhi is currently the envoy of the Yangzhou system and in charge of the secretary of the Lianghuai system.In my mind, the future Marshal of the Song Army must be this person.With Li Tingzhi guarding the two Huaihe Rivers, I am relieved for the time being in the north, but who should Xiangyang send?In history, Lu Wenhuan, the defender of Xiangyang, was able to defend Xiangyang for six years without external reinforcements.If not, who else can use it?

While thinking about it, I suddenly remembered such a post I read on a website before, the main content of which was about, will Qin Hui become a traitor through the ages under the hands of Tang Taizong?Can Wei Zheng still become a famous figure through the ages under Song Gaozong's command?

For a long time, history books have said that in the late Southern Song Dynasty, there were no talents who could rule the country with Wenke, Anbang, and Wu. It would be better to say that there were no emperors who knew how to use talents.

The history of China for thousands of years has been basically the same. Once a wise ruler emerges, the world will be stabilized, but if a foolish ruler emerges, the world will be in chaos. This is a common problem in a society ruled by man.The most obvious example is Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. In the first half of his life, he was wise and powerful, the world was governed, and the prosperity surpassed the rule of Zhenguan.

At that time, I agreed with this article very much. As the saying goes, under the rule of a wise king, famous ministers will emerge, and under the rule of a faint ruler, treacherous ministers will emerge.

Just imagine, if Lu Wenhuan's boss was Li Tingzhi during the Battle of Xiangyang, then maybe nothing needs to be changed, and he can hold on to Xiangyang.

Of course, what I want is not only to defend Xiangyang, but also an army that can completely defeat the Mongols. If Xiangyang can be defended, I will have more time to build an invincible army.

Having figured this out, I continued to read other books.

In all fairness, when the feudal society developed to the end of the Song Dynasty, many systems were relatively complete and advanced. For example, the recruiting system in the Song Dynasty had a prototype of the source of modern soldiers, and the rotation system of generals was basically equivalent to the modern one.

It’s just that a good system does not mean that things can be done well, because all systems are implemented by people, so people are fundamental. It is said that the competition in the future society is the competition of talents. In fact, at any time Talent is inseparable.

The technology of this era has also developed to a certain height, but many inventions and creations such as the compass, gunpowder, and movable type printing have not been well applied. At this time, I can fully reflect the advantages of my time traveler.

For example, gunpowder, of course, focuses on military development. In this era, the earliest prototype of the musket, the musket, has appeared, and the annual output of steel in the Southern Song Dynasty has reached 20 to [-] tons. Therefore, it is not easy to produce a more practical smoothbore matchlock gun. No possibility, another example is the invention of the compass, which has played a decisive role in helping navigation.

As for other industries, commerce, agriculture, etc. have also been well developed in this era.It can also be seen from the comments of later generations that the Song Dynasty can be described as the pinnacle of the development of China's feudal society.

These books in the Yushufang are very comprehensive, covering almost all walks of life, but it is estimated that Song Lizong will not read all of them.

A few days passed quickly, and after I read it roughly, I basically understood the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was time to make plans based on what I knew.

Externally, smash the Mongolian iron cavalry, regain the mountains and rivers, internally, rectify the traitors in the court, and return the great Song Dynasty to us.

In the past few days in the imperial study, it feels like returning to my original nest, and becoming that otaku again.
