Chapter 597: Local Separatist Regimes

"This small court of the Southern Song Dynasty..."

Li Shimin was bored and turned the cup in his hand, thinking about the words:

"Quite particular."

This is not a good word, but Empress Changsun could vaguely sense Erlang's thoughts.

After all, seriously speaking, the Song Dynasty originally inherited the Tang Dynasty, and was governed by the Han Dynasty. Its people were Han people and Tang people for ten generations. Who wants to just watch his jokes?

It's just that this Song Dynasty is really helpless. This was true in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even worse in the Southern Song Dynasty.

If you look into it carefully, you will find that there are always good generals and more famous ministers. Although it only covers half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the number of household registrations exceeds that of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, according to what Erlang said before, the craftsmanship skills of the people's livelihood weapons in the Song Dynasty are not bad.

But it's all useless.

In addition, the later generations had just made fun of Erlang, so it is no wonder that Erlang was in a bad mood at this time.

There was not much to say in the Manna Hall, so Empress Changsun could only lean towards Erlang:

"It's no wonder that the Southern Song Dynasty was ridiculed by later generations for only knowing peace."

"If we follow what the minister of Song Dynasty said, and the people in the north rise up and die from Jin, then is it appropriate for the world to respect Song Dynasty?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Li Shimin's face, and his interest was even clearly written on his face:

"If someone really makes such a move, then after the death of the Jin Dynasty, he will attack the south without his subordinates, so that the world can be unified."

Erlang was impatient and could not keep his temper, and Empress Changsun knew that.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, I knew that my husband's thoughts were active again, and he was probably regretting that he could not break into the troubled times of the Southern Song Dynasty and achieve great achievements.

"This king of the Song and Jin Dynasties is disgusting to me."

"It would be great if both of them could be tied to the circle."

Sure enough... Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled, took Erlang's hand and squeezed it gently:

"In this case, Your Majesty must not let his descendants make the same mistake, and leave the rule of Zhenguan for future generations."

Li Shimin was quite dissatisfied when he heard this:

"Then when it came to governing the country in the Southern Song Dynasty, one could observe the Qin and Han Dynasties and follow the example of the Tang Dynasty. Even worse, the Northern Song Dynasty was the predecessor to observe the later effects."

"The result is that the man who wanted to be more powerful than the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty became Emperor Yang."

"The beasts that rebel against the people's peace are able to deal with it calmly."

"Hey, this future life..."

Li Shimin seemed to want to comment, but in the end he just shook his head and fell silent.

"Then the Lord of the Song Dynasty can't be considered calm...haven't they all become eunuchs?"

The voice was very recognizable. Li Shimin didn't need to look up to know that it was Yuchi Jingde. Yuchi Jingde was probably the only one in the palace who could claim to be a close minister and speak like this.

Both Fang and Du are mature and prudent people, quick in action but slow in speech; my uncle, perhaps because he knew the tragic ending of his death last year, now tends to be wise and protective.

Shu Bao has always been prudent. Although he is a military official and a general, he is the most abiding by civil servant etiquette. The Yan brothers are very busy and would not say anything easily in ordinary times.

At this time, the only person in the palace who could talk to Yuchi Jingde was...

"What about eunuchs?"

Wei Zheng's tone was full of disapproval:

"Can this Zhao eunuch resurrect benevolent ministers, save the country from ruin, or what?"

Of course he couldn't, and Yuchi Jingde would probably be speechless. After all, this beloved general was never good at words.

only……

As expected, it is easier to conquer the world.

I really want to try my personal commander Xuan Jia, destroy the Jin Dynasty and conquer the Song Dynasty, and compete with the Meng Yuan Jingqi.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had not been in battle for a long time, galloped on his horse in his heart of boredom.

[1162 was a relatively critical year. The Jin Kingdom’s million-strong army was defeated, and the Southern Song Dynasty came to a crossroads of its own destiny.

Xin Qiji's fifty elite cavalry broke through the formation and bound the enemy, but it was still difficult to save the Shandong Rebel Army from being completely destroyed.

Seeing that Zhao Gou's plan to be a licking dog for the Jin Kingdom was unsustainable, he simply asked Zhao Shen to become emperor to balance the demands of the main war faction.

To put it another way, Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen, the direct seventh generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, had a strong fighting spirit from the beginning of his rise to power.

However, the main war faction in the Southern Song Dynasty had been suppressed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui for twenty years. Yue Wumu died violently, Han Shizhong went into seclusion, Wu Lin and Liu Qi were both old, and Zhang Jun was repeatedly deposed. The main war faction and the two sides had already been seriously out of balance. wait.

Therefore, the dispute between Shi Hao and Zhang Jun in front of Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty actually involved a lot.

As the right prime minister, Shi Hao's argumentative style left Zhang Jun speechless. The general who was leading the battle simply passed over Shi Hao and handed Song Xiaozong the information:

It would be a waste of time to continue talking to the right minister, and the fighter plane might be missed. Please make up your mind.

Song Xiaozong may have been persuaded, or perhaps Chen Kangbo, the left prime minister who was in charge of the battle at the time, had his own way. In short, the other main battler, Shao Hongyuan, did indeed get the order to send troops, and he still crossed three provinces.

Right Prime Minister Shi Hao was very sad: Since sending troops does not require the consent of the right government, then I should be a bastard, "Why should I wait if I don't go?"

Then he muttered to Left Prime Minister Chen Kangbo:

"Kang Bo wants to accept the righteous people, but I am afraid that in the future he will worry about your Majesty's descendants. Jun is determined to use his troops. If he fails, I am afraid that your Majesty will never be able to look back to the Central Plains."

In the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Hao could indeed be regarded as a good prime minister, but these words still made it clear that in the eyes of the peace faction, the rebels in the North were not human beings at all.

Later, the Longxing Northern Expedition failed miserably. This suggestion was hailed as "an experienced idea in planning a country" and gave Shi Hao a lot of reputation.

But no one cared about the opinions of "reformed people" whom Shi Hao summed up in one word.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Yan started an uprising army, and his subordinates all tattooed the eight characters "Loyalty to the country, vow to kill the Jin thieves" on their faces, so they were named the Eight Characters Army, and they made outstanding contributions in the anti-Jin war in Henan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.

When Yue Fei went north, the Taihang Mountain righteous army responded to Yue Wumu's call, and they all stopped the order south of Yanjing.

If these are still old things that have been long gone, then at the moment when Shi Hao said this, nearly half of the 160,000 defense troops of the Lianghuai defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty were so-called "reformed people".

Wanyan Liang went south, and the righteous army in Hebei and Henan rose up. The coastal line of Haizhou and Chuzhou could be recovered by the two righteous army leaders Wei Sheng and Li Bao fighting to the death, and the support of the righteous army led by Wang Youzhi from Henan.

Since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the northerners went south to fight for the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 30 years, but in the end they were replaced by the prime minister of the time saying "I am afraid that your majesty's descendants will be worried in the future."

In fact, the feelings of the northern righteous army had been hurt once during the Shaoxing Peace Agreement because of the treaty of "Southerners return to the south and northerners return to the north".

But twenty years later, the situation between the north and the south ushered in another opportunity for change.

The good news is that the northern righteous army still fought one after another and shed blood.

The bad news is that the small Southern Song Dynasty court still played a stable role and did not treat the northern righteous army as human beings.

This view is essentially to actively pull oneself down from the position of the common leader of China, which is completely a mentality of a local separatist regime.

Among the causes of the Southern Song Dynasty, the lack of horse breeding land, the rise of the Mongols, the difficulty of the Northern Expedition, and the lack of equipment generation gap are all surmountable.

This kind of mentality is the most incurable.
