Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng went together to sing and agree, not only depriving Li Zhaoliang of the right to participate in the Dali war, but also depriving Li Zhaoliang of his thoughts on participating in other foreign wars.
Li Zhaoliang was naturally frustrated.
Li Zhaoliang shouted to Zhao Zhen in a deep voice: "Three generations of officials and ministers fought for the country. I dare not say that they have made great contributions, but they have also made great achievements. The ministers studied the art of war and diligently studied martial arts since childhood, in order to help me expand the Song Dynasty. earth.
Today, the minister is in charge of the Ministry of War, but he cannot participate in the battles of the Song Dynasty. The minister is very unwilling.
The minister was willing to die for the official family, and asked the official family to give the minister a chance. "
Li Zhaoliang moved out of his grandfather three generations to talk in a hurry. Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng opened their mouths, but could not say anything.
Li Zhaoliang's grandfather was Li Chuyun, the founding hero of the Great Song Dynasty, and was posthumously named Bin Wang after his death.
Li Zhaoliang's father is Tyranny General Li Jilong, a famous general in the Chongde Pavilion of Zhaoxun.
Chong Shiheng still has a family background, with a great Confucian uncle.
There are no capable people in Zhu Nengzu.
Compared to family background, the two of them are no better than Li Zhaoliang.
When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhaoliang’s words, his expression was a bit solemn, "The three generations of the Li family are all the humeral ministers of my Song Dynasty, how can I forget it. At the moment, I am still discussing the use of soldiers by my Song Dynasty against Dali, but there is no decision. under."
Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on the three of Chong Shiheng, and solemnly said: "The three Aiqings are loyal, and I feel it. After I and my fourth brother have discussed how to use troops against Dali, the three Aiqings will compete for the commandership again. It's not too late."
After hearing the words, the three of Zhong Shiheng bowed to Zhao Zhen and stopped fighting for the commander position in the crusade against Dali.
Seeing this, Kou Ji smiled and said: "Officials, this time when my Da Song is using troops against Dali, one of the three of them must be in charge. It is better to leave the matter of using troops to Dali to the three of them.
It is up to the three of them to decide how to use troops against Dali, and then write their strategy into a memorandum and submit it to the Privy Council.
At that time, ministers and officials can choose a person who has a good plan to be in command.
In this way, the ministers and officials also save a lot of trouble.
Because of this, the three of Zhong Shiheng will deduct a war against Dali in advance.
This is a very useful thing for those who will attack Dali in the future. "
Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard the words, and the three of Chong Shiheng were also stunned.
Only Lu Yijian and others pinched their beards and nodded in agreement.
The talents of Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, and Li Zhaoliang as leaders have all been verified on the battlefield.
So let them prepare a strategic memo in advance, and there will be no such things as talking on paper.
Three people, three plans, must have strengths and weaknesses, if they learn from each other, maybe they can work out a better strategy.
Although the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, you need to adapt to changes.
But it is better to prepare well than to prepare for the occasion.
Zhao Zhen thought about it for a moment, and understood the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Immediately, Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Four brothers are reasonable..."
Zhao Zhen looked at the three of Zhong Shiheng and said: "You alone prepare a strategy note and send it to the Privy Council. Whose strategy note can impress me and the fourth brother at the same time, then I will appoint whoever is in charge.
It all depends on your abilities.
It can also save you time for arguing, and it can also prevent you from arguing with real fire and hurting your peace. "
When Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang heard this, they almost did not hesitate to give up their hands and answer: "Chen Zunzhi..."
Zhu Neng showed a bitter face, hesitating where to stand.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhu Neng and said, "Is there a problem with Zhu Aiqing?"
Zhu Neng said with a bitter face: "Although the minister is literate, he is not good at writing. Although there are a few staff in the mansion, they are more than a bit short of the two of them.
The minister felt that the matter was unfair to the minister. "
Zhao Zhen curled his lips, "If the pen and ink are not good, then go find a few people who are good at pen and ink to help you. You are responsible for dictating, and others will help you ghostwriting, and I will agree.
Zhao Zhen's words were all about it, and Zhu Neng could not evade any more, so he could only say yes with an urn sound.
The reason why he was hesitant, refused to agree to this matter.
But it's not just because of poor pen and ink.
The main point is to compare Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang, who is not dominant in this matter.
Zhong Shiheng was born as a literati, and he was a strong performer.
Li Zhaoliang has a rich family background. Three generations in his family have accumulated countless capable people and righteous men, who can help him with many ideas.
Zhu Neng has recruited some people in recent years, but the quality is not high.
So it's no match for others.
After Zhao Zhen decided on this matter, he didn't say any more.
The crowd left Beiyu Street to go to school together, and then went to several other places for school inspections.
Then he went back to the palace and discussed some minor issues that appeared in the promotion of education.
After discussion, a solution was proposed.
Zhao Zhen declared that all the talents left the palace and went back to their homes.
Kou Ji got out of the palace, got on the carriage, swayed across the imperial street, and was stopped when passing by the Jinshui River.
It was Zhu Neng who stopped Kou Ji.
Zhu Neng sat on the horse's back and stood in the middle of the avenue like a crab, making it difficult for Kou Ji's carriage to pass.
Kou Ji got out of the carriage, glanced at Zhu Neng, and said, "Look for me?"
Zhu Neng nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji glanced around and said, "This is not a place to talk. Find a place to talk."
Zhu Neng pondered for a moment, and said, "Go to the west of the city. I have another courtyard in the west of the city."
After saying this, Zhu Neng rode a horse to lead the way, Kou Ji got on the carriage and followed Zhu Neng all the way to the west of the city.
Zhu Neng's other courtyard in the west of the city is not big, just about a dozen acres of land.
The layout inside is exquisite.
However, Zhu Neng obviously didn't know how to appreciate. He rode his horse all the way into the other courtyard. The horseshoe trampled on some precious flowers and plants, and he was indifferent.
In the other courtyard.
Zhu Neng asked Kou Ji to sit down and ordered a table of wine and food.
Then he said to Kou Ji with a glass of wine: "We are a family, you have to help me."
Kou Ji stared suspiciously at Zhu Neng and said, "Do you want to go to Dali that way?"
Zhu Neng stared, "You don't want to go?"
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Why should I go?"
Zhu Neng yelled: "Dali is full of gold, silver, jade, and many copper mines. Such an amazing wealth can't attract your attention?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "Dali's wealth is indeed amazing. But as a privy envoy, I don't need to do it personally for some money. Moreover, the court has now focused on Dali's wealth.
No matter who goes to Dali, the Manchu civil and military will keep an eye on it.
Even if you make money, you can't make much. "
"That's still credit..."
Zhu Neng solemnly said.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "What do I want to do? Do you want to be a king? I dare to ask for it. The question is, do you dare to give it to the court?"
Zhu Neng gritted his teeth and said: "You are not rare to conquer Dali, but I am rare."
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, and said, "What do you want so much credit for, aren't you afraid that your credit will be overwhelming?"
Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji and said, "As long as my credit does not overtake you, I am not afraid of anything."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and wanted to curse.
"You, Chong Shiheng, and Li Zhaoliang, I'm afraid they are all the same idea, right?"
Zhu Neng nodded without hesitation.
Kou Ji glared: "Let me just say it. Each of you has already made a lot of merit, and you are vying to go to Dali to do your work, and you are not afraid of your merits.
It turns out that there is a gun like me, holding it for you in front. "
Zhu Neng smiled, "You can't say that. With a privy envoy who is capable of writing and martial arts like you, we dare to go out and work hard. Instead of being a clerk, we must stay in the city of Bianjing. Move your feet."
Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng, "If you don't flatter people, don't flatter yourself."
Zhu Neng smiled and said nothing.
Kou Ji saw that Zhu Neng hadn't let go of his intentions, so he sighed and said: "Let's talk about it, how can we help you."
Zhu Neng immediately said: "The memorial notes handed over by the three of me are judged by you and the official. As long as you look for my stuff, the other two will have no chance."
Kou Ji said angrily: "You also said that the memorials handed over by the three of you will be judged by me and the official. That means that I am not alone in the matter.
The official family is the king, and I am the minister. If the official insists on taking one of them as the commander. Even if I bite you hard, it won't help me at all. "
Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then you can help me make a memorable memorabilia that can pass the test."
"Don't even think about it!"
Kou Ji shouted: "Although we are close, Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang are now our own. If I go all out to help you overwhelm the two of them, how do they treat me?"
Before Zhu Neng could speak, Kou Ji continued: "I will give you some ideas at most. You can only rely on yourself for the rest."
Zhu Neng was a little frustrated when he heard this.
Kou Ji continued self-consciously: "I won't say much about the military affairs of attacking Dali. You are a veteran on the battlefield, and you know more about fighting than I do. I will tell you how to find excuses to attack Dali. How to hollow out Dali’s money."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he took a deep breath and stared at Kou Ji, waiting for what Kou Ji said.
After Kou Ji explained it, he also understood it.
Li Zhaoliang and Chong Shiheng are now their own people.
As the leader, Kou Ji helped him too much.
Otherwise, Li Zhaoliang and Chong Shiheng would definitely feel uncomfortable.
If things go on like this, Li Zhaoliang and Chong Shiheng might leave them.
Now that Kojiken opened his mouth to help him out, he was already partial to him. He couldn't be greedy.
Kou Ji said under Zhu Neng's gaze: "The excuses for attacking Dali are easy to find. You can send people to disguise Dali's soldiers and horses, or instigate Dali's soldiers and horses, to rob the border city, or past merchants.
When the time comes, put a hat like the emperor merchant on the merchants, and you can use this to enter Dali as a matter of course.
Or throw a few artillery or muskets to Dali, advertise these things as being stolen by Dali, and then march into Dali with troops.
In short, the excuses for attacking Dali are easy to find and many.
You only need to remember one thing, that is, I, Da Song, must be on the side of reason.
It must be the Dali people who provoked my Da Song, and my Da Song sent troops to conquer Dali.
My soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, after arriving in Dali, are the teachers of justice. "
Zhu Neng quietly listened to Kou Ji's description.
Kou Ji continued: "As for how to earn money after entering Dali. It depends on how you fought in the war. If you kill too hard, you will directly rob it in a rude manner.
If the killing is not ruthless enough, you can use some gentle policies.
Support some Dali people to act as your dog legs and help you earn money.
You can also organize some of the prisoners of Dali into drudgery to help you excavate the copper mines, gold mines, etc. underground in Dali.
But no matter how you play, you don’t need to play too fast. "
"The soldiers are very fast..."
Zhu Neng frowned.
Before Zhu Neng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kou Ji.
"The soldiers are fast and fast, but you have to depend on the situation. Dali is easy to attack and difficult to cure. Maybe you can win Dali in only one year, but it takes a long, long time to digest Dali. .
You can't digest Dali, and all you can rob is only some floating wealth.
The underground gold, silver and copper mines are hard to get into your hands easily.
It takes a lot of twists and turns in the middle.
Only by fighting steadily and slowly can we bring all of Dali's money and territory into our Great Song Dynasty. "
Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "If you don't take Dali in one breath, you will have many branches and many variables."
What Zhu Neng worries about is that if Dali slowly eats away, Dali will have a lot of breathing time.
The soldiers are extremely fast, and if you can take down the enemy in one go, you will never let the enemy live to two drums.
When the enemy can be defeated, given time, the enemy may come back or turn over completely.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "So you have to master the scale of attacking Dali. When you arrive in Dali and make excuses, choose a few of the fattest Dali cities to occupy first.
Then while searching for money, he sent someone to negotiate with Dali, so as to squeeze a sum of money from Dali's royal family.
When the money is available, they will be pushed to the court and let them talk to the court.
When the time comes, the officials and I will take action and squeeze another sum of money from them.
When they transport the money out of the capital of Dali, you can send some Dali people who surrender to you to intercept the money.
Then take this as an excuse to take down several cities in Dali, forcing Dali to re-establish peace talks with you and the court.
After doing this twice, the floating wealth in the royal family of Dali was almost squeezed out.
Maybe you have to make some money from the people to add in.
In the meantime, you can send someone to stare at Dali.
You can see clearly whoever has soft bones and can surrender, whoever has hard bones and is unwilling to surrender.
After you get to the capital of Dali, you can chop off those hard bones and leave those bones to help you search for Dali's money.
Whether it is recruiting the people to mine, or increasing taxes and silver to the people, it can be communicated through their mouths.
If the people make trouble because of this, you can quell the matter by cutting them off.
It doesn’t take long for the people of Dali to get used to being squeezed by you.
When appropriate, you give them tax relief, give them some power to speak, and allow them to be hard on the cartilage who stares at them and does things.
They will be grateful to you. "
Kou Ji's words were very thorough.
Zhu Neng was dumbfounded. After a long time, he said a little embarrassed: "Why do you write on paper?"
Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng in amazement.
Zhu Nenggan smiled and said, "You said a little too much, I can't remember."
Kou Ji sighed and glanced at Zhu Neng.
Zhu Neng smiled and ordered people to prepare pen and ink.
After the pen and ink arrived, Kou Ji picked up the pen and wrote down his own set of ideas.
After Zhu Neng got it, he was like a treasure.
After Kou Ji finished writing, he didn't stay much in the courtyard of Zhu Mansion, and rode out of Bianjing in a carriage.
…
Seven days later.
Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, and Li Zhaoliang's melodies were sent to the Privy Council.
After Kou Ji got the trio's memo, he didn't read it directly.
Instead, I got it to Shishitang and reviewed it with Zhao Zhen.
After Kou Ji arrived at Shishitang, he found that the three of Lu Yijian were also there.
After Kou Jishili, the melodies of Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, and Li Zhaoliang were sent to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen flipped through the trio's melodies, and after flipping through them, he looked weird.
But he didn't have a word, but instructed Chen Lin to pass the memorial to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji got the memorabilia, and then read it.
There are three people, each of which has its own characteristics.
In the war against Dali, Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang had similar attitudes and similar methods.
They all used heavy soldiers to sweep the acupoints with thunder, and when they went up, they directly put Dali on the ground.
The two gave detailed troop deployment strategies, as well as data on troop deployment and troop distribution.
Kou Ji speculated slightly, and felt that the way they attacked Dali was highly feasible.
When it comes to dealing with Dali's money, Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang have different attitudes.
Li Zhaoliang's attitude is somewhat popular.
He thought about going over Dali with one wave, then grabbed a vote and left.
Before leaving, you can support a puppet emperor to take the upper position, so that you can grab it next time.
Zhong Shiheng's attitude is also somewhat popular.
He thought that after he had smashed Dali, he would incorporate Dali into the territory of the Song Dynasty, and then slowly manage, digest, and search.
Zhu Neng's melodrama is completely different from the two of them, a bit maverick.
He had painstakingly wrote about the formation of troops and the dispatch of troops. For other things, he almost copied Ko Ji's rhetoric.
The performances of Zhong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang are quite different in the use of troops. The strategies put forward in terms of accumulating wealth also echo the Song people's ideas.
So, which of them is higher and lower, it is not easy to jump to conclusions.
Zhu Neng's memorabilia, maverick, is very eye-catching.
It doesn't conform to the usual thinking of the Song people, but after careful consideration, you will find the beauty of Zhu Neng's strategy.
Zhao Zhen also noticed some of the beauty in Zhu Neng's strategy.
That's why he looks weird.
After reading the three memos, Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "The officials think that the melodies of Chong Shiheng, Li Zhaoliang, and Zhu Neng are better?"
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and said, "If Zhu Neng hadn't had the memorabilia, I would have chosen Shiheng."
Zhao Zhen was the ruler of an ancient dynasty.
As the ruler of an ancient dynasty, he absolutely cared about the territory he ruled.
Zhong Shiheng proposed to incorporate Dali into the Song Dynasty and become a place in the Song Dynasty, which is in line with Zhao Zhen's mind.
Kou Ji questioned: "Did the official choose Zhu Neng?"
Zhao Zhen slowly shook his head, "Zhu Neng's melodrama is unique and independent, and there are many good points in it, and there are many things I can't think through. I can't tell whether his strategy is good or bad, so I shouldn't make rash decisions."
Listening to the conversation between Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, the three Lu Yijian felt a little itchy in their hearts.
Who is Zhu Neng in their eyes
The old one is thick.
A big boss, when he was trying to dance the essay and the ink, he concealed Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang, and they were naturally curious in their hearts.
You know, the ability to use Shiheng Wuwen to make ink is not weaker than ordinary Jinshi.
The same is true for Li Zhaoliang.
Regardless of Li Zhaoliang's background in Jiangmen, he feels that Li Zhaoliang is incomprehensible.
Li Zhaoliang's talents are not weak.
It's just that people who came from Jiangmen, in the past, couldn't use their talents to enter the classroom.
Coupled with the fierce competition between civil and military before.
Li Zhaoliang rarely reveals his knowledge in front of people.
Zhu Neng is actually not a big boss.
He was able to rely on Kou Zhun's sect, and he still had some talent to learn.
It's just a bit weaker than Chong Shiheng, who has a family history, and Li Zhaoliang, who is deeply hidden.
Compared to Lu Yijian and others, it is even less worth mentioning.
Therefore, Lu Yijian and others think he is the boss.
When Lu Yijian was discussing with Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, he couldn't help but interject: "Zhu Neng is a big boss, what good things can he write?"
When Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji heard the words, Qi Qi stopped the discussion.
Zhao Zhen said to Lu Yijian: "Although Zhu Aiqing's literary talent is mediocre, but some of the strategies he proposed make me feel refreshed, so I will hesitate."
Lu Yijian pondered for a moment, and said, "Can you show it to the minister?"
Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai also nodded curiously: "The ministers also have a mind."
Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and ordered Chen Lin to show the three melodies to Lu Yijian to watch.
After the three of Lu Yijian got the memorabilia, they reviewed it carefully.
After watching the three memos, the faces of the three people also became weird.
Wang Zeng stroked his beard, staring at Kou Ji calmly and said, "Kou Ji, what benefit did Zhu Neng give you?"
Koti said dryly, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Wang Zeng curled his lips and said: "The old man has to admit that Zhu Neng's strategy is more than a star and a half higher than that of Chong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang."
At this point, Wang Zeng said nothing.
Lu Yijian took the conversation and said: "It's just that Zhu Neng can never think of such a clever strategy. If he can come up with such a clever strategy, the old man should be given the position of this ordinary matter."
Kou Ji coughed dryly and said, "Are Lu Xiang's words exaggerated..."
Lu Yijian snorted coldly, without speaking.
Zhang Zhibai slowly opened his mouth and said, "Gong Lu's words are not exaggerated at all. Kou Ji, you do have the talents of Zaifu. It's a pity to go to the Privy Council."
Zhao Zhen sighed after Zhang Zhi's vernacular voice landed, "I also feel that there is a familiar aura in Zhu Neng's melodies. It's just that I didn't think of the fourth brother for a while.
Now I have listened to three Aiqing reminders, and I understand.
In Zhu Neng's notes, there is an aura of not taking the usual path.
What the fourth brother is best at is not taking the usual path. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji with a smile: "Zhu Neng's memorial, is the fourth brother ghostwriting?"
