Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly in the Bianliang Palace, and Zhao Pu suggested:

"Waiting for the officials to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty..."

"I know that it is necessary to repair the river embankment and dredge the old canal.

Zhao Kuangyin exhaled a breath of turbid air and spoke first. Seeing Zhao Pu nodded, he continued:

"I remember... when Shi Jingtang broke out the wild jujube trees in the river, within two years he broke out the wild jujube trees in Huazhou."

"Compared to the former Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River is indeed becoming more uneven."

With a shallow sigh, Zhao Kuangyin felt a sense of urgency at this time.

The previous snowy night discussions with Zhao Pu only considered the step of conquering the world, but now the complicated academic affairs, Yellow River, imperial examinations and other matters that later generations have pushed before him all show that it is more difficult to conquer the world.

So Zhao Kuangyin also came up with an idea:

"Use the edict to urge Cao Bin."

He couldn't wait to see Li Yu so that he could sharpen his sword against the Northern Han Dynasty.

Looking at the cooperation between Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, Zhao Kuangyin thought about the martial arts system of the former Tang Dynasty and thought that it should be modified to promote such talents as early as possible.

Zhao Pu focused on the "big ship". Compared with the difference in soldiers, this is where the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly superior to the Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhao Pu vaguely recalled that before the official summoned him to watch, he seemed to have indeed talked about the Battle of Baijiangkou in the former Tang Dynasty, praised the power of the navy, and also said bits and pieces about the maritime territory. However, because there was no servant at that time, Records, the officials didn’t quite understand what they were saying, and they were too shocked when they first saw the light curtain, so they temporarily put it in the back of their minds.

Now that I think about it, I might as well ask Zhuge Wuhou, or ask for a replay of the past.

Can’t you say that the navy has great potential?

[Yue Fei and Han Shizhong worked together to defeat the Jin army. Although it was a tragic victory, it was of great significance.

In more literal terms, it broke the myth of the Jin's invincibility and shattered the Jin's plan to capture Zhao Gou alive.

To put it more bluntly, military generals can finally straighten their backs and stop being dogs.

The primary reason is, of course, that Zhao Gou's intention to demand peace was met with a warm reception by the Jin State. During the search of mountains and seas, the Jin State's intention to capture Zhao Gou alive was very obvious, and Zhao Gou himself did not want to go to the prisoner-of-war camp of Five Kingdoms City to follow him. With Hui Qin as his companion, he had no choice but to violently resist arrest.

The secondary reason was also caused by Zhao Gou: after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, the first thing Zhao Gou did was to increase taxes in the name of fighting against gold. Even if the south was rich, this was not the way to do it, so farmers broke out successively on Fujian Road, Jiangxi Road, and Hubei Road. uprising.

In the face of internal and external troubles, Zhao Gou also reached a tacit understanding with the generals:

First, the generals were granted expanded military power, and the Yue Jiajun, Han Jiajun and others appeared one after another.

The second most important thing is that military generals have the power to lead troops in combat, and no longer need to be dictated by supervisors who do not understand warfare.

After Jianyan moved south, prices skyrocketed and people were struggling to make ends meet. Zhao Gou abolished most of the rewards for officials, but only ensured the stable payment of salaries to generals, and even occasional subsidies. This was also unimaginable in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It was under such circumstances that the incomplete Song Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty finally erupted into a rather dazzling afterglow.

Five years after the Battle of Huangtiandang, Han Shizhong sent peace envoys to deliver wrong information to the Jin army to induce them to march rashly, and then ambushed and killed thousands of Jin army households and won Dayi Town.

Another Zhang Jun, who is known as the ZTE General, defeated the 4,000 elite vanguards of the Jin Army in the Battle of Mingzhou. Let’s not talk about the Battle of Huaixi later. As a result, the entire 60,000 Song army was annihilated and he surrendered his military power.

Comparatively speaking, Wu Jie, a son of a good family who had witnessed the farce of conquering Liao and capturing Yan with Yue Fei, was more prudent. First, in the second year of Jianyan, he served as a pioneer officer and defeated the Jin army in Qingxiling. Later, he was granted the command of the capital and was ordered to do so. He led the western battlefield to guard the important areas of Sichuan and Sichuan and fought fiercely with the Jin people for four years. He successively won three battles at Heshangyuan, Raofengguan and Xianrenguan. The Jin army finally had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking Sichuan and Shaanxi first.

The most eye-catching one among them is undoubtedly Yue Fei. After regaining Jiankang, Yue Fei slowly managed the Yue Family Army by relying on merit rewards, and finally kicked off his Northern Expedition five years later.

In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), the Yue family troops went out to Xianghan to attack the puppet Qi State supported by the Jin State. They first conquered Yingzhou and then defeated the enemy in a field battle in Dengzhou. Finally, they recovered the six counties of Xianghan and carried them with them to promote production. , revived the people's livelihood here, this was the first Northern Expedition.

In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), when the then Northern Expedition coach Zhang Jun gave up the offensive, Yue Fei's lone army went north to drive Yiluo, and finally faced the puppet Qi and won consecutive battles. Shangzhou and Guozhou were recovered, and the remaining conquered areas lacked support. Under such circumstances, we can only give up. This is the second Northern Expedition.

The following year, the Battle of Huaixi led by Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong failed. Facing the Puppet Qi's attack on the Xianghan and Shangguo areas, Yue Fei mobilized his elite to launch the third Northern Expedition to defeat the Puppet Qi. This was also the case for Yue Fei The Northern Expedition was the smallest in scale.

Yue Fei's first three Northern Expeditions were all against the puppet Qi, but with Lien Zhan and Lianjie's situation, he already had elite troops, so the Northern Expedition can be expected.

On the other hand, the people in power in the Jin Kingdom changed, and the Zhuhe faction gained the upper hand and began to contact the Southern Song Dynasty. The civil servants of the Zhuhe faction in the Southern Song Dynasty actively mediated and restored the glory of the scholar-bureaucrats who used literature to control military affairs. It was their duty to do so.

The most terrible thing is that after Yue Fei heard that the Jin Dynasty intended to release Qinzong's son, he participated in the discussion of establishing a prince unusually and recklessly, which made Zhao Gou unhappy. Now scholars generally believe that the conflict between Zhao Gou and Yue Fei deepened because of this.

The conflict between the faint-hearted emperor who wanted to live in peace and contentment and the famous general who was dedicated to the Northern Expedition was destined to be irresolvable. This was also the most disappointing thing in the early Southern Song Dynasty. 】

Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes in confusion:

"How much tax did the Song Dynasty collect? Is it really necessary to break the bones and suck out the marrow of the people?"

He was not a naive person, and he would not have thought that the founding council of the Southern Song Dynasty would be kind enough to waive all past exorbitant taxes.

That is to say, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty experienced a sharp increase in taxes due to the two reforms, and there were also additional miscellaneous taxes to resist the gold. Although the number is unknown, it must not be small.

"It's a pity that Yue Fei joined the army."

Zhang Fei said quietly:

"Otherwise, if my farm is hit by this tax increase again, I can't help but rise up and shout that the sky is dead. Huang Tiandang will just play it."

It sounded like a joke, but everyone present was either a real farmer or someone who knew the hardships of people's livelihood, so no one could really laugh for a while.

Jian Yong even sighed:

"The Jin Army does not teach people to live, nor does it teach people to live through excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. To the people, what is the difference between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Army?"

Mi Zhu actually thought about it seriously and said:

"I think the Song government was more ferocious. After all, the Jin army just wanted everything in Youzhou to return to the old days before the Song Dynasty. They took the city without bloodshed, which is evident."

As a result, the hall became increasingly silent. Fazheng raised his head and touched the short beard on his chin, looked at the map on the light screen, and suddenly said:

"Yue Fei's attitude toward the Northern Expedition actually coincides with Kong Minglong's confrontation."

"No wonder he admires Prime Minister Zhuge so much."

Zhang Fei opened his mouth most ruthlessly, and said with a smile:

"In my opinion, this General Yue may not necessarily admire the military advisor."

"It can't be said that he admires the military advisor for having an Adou who can be called his father-in-law."
