Jin Wushu just turned a deaf ear to Zhao Kuangyin's ridicule, and said to himself: "When we first started between Baishan and Blackwater back then, for you Song people, you all felt disdainful to the extreme."
"At that time, when our Jurchen envoy first entered the Song Dynasty, we saw the prosperity of Bianjing, the wealthy people of the Central Plains, and even your envoy unsuspectingly led our envoy to the Song Dynasty in the shortest distance. , Let us feel the strength and self-confidence of the Song Dynasty. However, when our two countries agreed to cooperate against the Khitan Liao, after seeing the true combat power of your so-called elite soldiers with bright armors, we Jurchen people understand that you The prosperous prosperity of the Song people has softened the bones of the Song people, and that unsuspectingly allowed us to easily obtain the best route to Bianjing, not because you are the one in the world. The Song Dynasty really has strong confidence and the strength to support such confidence, but it is only because the Song State is from top to bottom. No one is wary of our already budding Jurchen big gold!"
Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a smile: "It's probably because you have been at peace for too long, so from the king to the people, and even your army, you have completely forgotten how the battle should be fought!"
"Our Jurchen cavalry has already beaten the main force of the Khitan Liao people to flee, but your known as the most elite Western army, hundreds of thousands of people, are all dressed up and waiting for work. Under such circumstances, the Song army actually paid back. To be able to lose one after another in front of the remnants of the Liao Kingdom who are several times smaller than I do not know, even if our people have already evaluated the combat effectiveness of your Song people before, but the results of this kind of battle are really from us. Unexpected."
Zhao Kuangyin could not help but smile slightly when he heard Jin Wushu's words.
He had already known the situation of the battle at that time, and knew that this battle against the Liao Dynasty, in fact, also had the influence of many factors.
Since that day, after the sound of axe and candles, his emperor, Zhao Guangyi, has been eager to open up the territory and expand territory in order to put an end to the rumors about his position. Therefore, after extinguishing the Northern Han Dynasty, he hurriedly used his troops against the Khitan Liao Kingdom. As a result, the horse was tired and the labor expedition, but was beaten by the Khitan people for a while. From then on, the Prancing Horse Yellow River regained the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures that were occupied by the Khitan Liao people during the Five Dynasties War and reappeared. The majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties of the Central Plains has become a dream that the monarchs of the Song Dynasty think about every night and are unattainable.
So when the Khitan Liao Kingdom was in poverty, and the Jurchen iron hoof started from the Baishan and Heishuijian, the Song Kingdom at that time from the Huizong Emperor and below the Emperor Huizong took this opportunity to see the realization of this long-lasting ancestor's unfinished aspiration. A ray of light.
Therefore, the Song Kingdom at that time did take this very seriously, knowing that the Xiang army and the imperial army, who have been carrying on for a long time, have long been vain and unbearable, so they can be called the most elite troops in the empire. Of the Western Army.
The West Army’s Jiutun border, fighting with the Xixia Army year after year, if it talks about the real combat power, it is by no means as vulnerable as performance.
It's just a piece of the Western Army who has been stationed on the border between Song and Xia for a long time, getting used to the climate and combat terrain of the Northwest Plateau, and encountering the open and open terrain on the north bank of the Yellow River. Many of the previously familiar and practical tactics have become completely impractical. Things, and the expedition of the Western Army's laborers, is not as easy as what Jin Wushu said. On the contrary, many people are not satisfied with the water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, and their strength is greatly reduced.
What's more, the monarchs and ministers above the court had already become completely unfamiliar with the real military deployment during the years of peace. They regarded this horrifying expedition like the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival or the welcoming temple ceremony. In the event, more energy was put on the grand and grand ceremony of worshipping the ancestors and reporting to the temple, and on the bright and gorgeous ceremonial armor. On the contrary, it was an urgent task for military logistics and other urgent tasks. On the contrary, they were arguing with each other and even abandoning their original position in the West. Instead of appointing the eunuch Tong Guan, who has a very high reputation in the army, to lead the army, instead of appointing the eunuch who has a very close relationship with the Western army, all of this can be said to have caused this team in the same day. After being able to fight on the Northwest Plateau, the Hundreds of Fighters were transferred to the north bank of the Yellow River, but it was an important reason for the Khitan Liao people to defeat themselves for thousands of miles.
It was also because of the fact that the most elite force of the Song Dynasty was so vulnerable in front of the remnants of the Khitan army, that the self-imposed force, Liankezhou County, defeated the Khitan Liao people. The Jurchen of, started throwing the whip and leaping horse, to the day and the most prosperous Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, the idea of looting.
At that time, the Jurchen family lived in the bitter cold land between the white mountains and black waters for generations. After occupying most of the land of the Khitan Liao Kingdom, the rich and luxurious life of the Khitan nobles has opened their horizons. At that time, everyone in the world knew the Song Kingdom. Rich is ten times a hundred times that of the Khitan Liao people. In the description of the Jurchen envoys who have been to Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a country where gold and wealth flow everywhere. These people have just walked out of the white mountains and black waters and were killed by the Khitan Liao The gold and silver treasures accumulated over the centuries of business are fed to the ambitious Jurchen, how could it be possible to let go of such a piece of fat.
What's more, the awkwardness and procrastination of the monarchs and ministers in the Song Dynasty also left a deep impression on these Jurchens. After all, the Jurchens had an agreement with the Song Dynasty at the beginning, and they sent troops to attack the Liao people at the same time. How to mobilize the army, who is the general, and even which army to mobilize, are all debated for a long time, and the Jurchen army has beaten the Khitan Liao people to pieces, even in the Liao country at that time. The Emperor Tianzuo had to flee the capital, and when he was away from the disaster, the so-called Song Guo coalition army hurriedly mobilized defenses. This method of dealing with things procrastinated, and the Jurchen army came and went like wind. The difference between the two countries is really enough to determine the life and death of the two countries.
At that time, the Song Army commander Tong Guan, who was in a hurry, was unable to take down Youyun Sixteen Prefectures by himself, but he did not dare to return to the country. The Khitan prefecture, which did not have too strong resistance, was redeemed by the Song State with a huge amount of gold and silver coins, which also allowed the Jurchens to see more clearly the features of the Song army at that time.
At that time, the Song State was like a three-year-old child holding red gold and swaggering all the way through the city. Therefore, after the Jurchens had hurriedly ended the battle against Liao, they couldn’t wait to prance southward, looting and plundering along the way. It became the "Jingkang Change" that has still made all the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty hate it.
Since coming to this world, Zhao Kuangyin has also had a lot of talks with famous generals such as Yue Fei and Liu Qi regarding the military review of the previous dynasty. He understands this matter well, knowing that Jin Wushu’s remarks are actually quite biased, but He also knew that what Jin Wushu meant was not here, so he didn't talk much, just watched Jin Wushu and waited for the following.
Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Kuangyin, smiled faintly, and then said: "God let our Jurchens live in the bitter cold land between the white mountains and the black waters. We have to rely on our hands to fight for each porridge, one food, one clothing and one meal. Snatch it, snatch it from the gods, snatch it from the beasts, snatch it from the homes of the nobles of the Khitan Liao people, and snatch it from the land of such a rich Song family!"
He was telling the situation when he robbed the Southern Kingdom’s Song family with a horse, but he was just telling a matter of course, without the slightest guilt on his face. If at this time, the person in front of Jin Wushu was Song Kingdom. Except for Zhao Kuangyin, any sergeant general, or sergeant minister, I am afraid that they have already screamed, but Zhao Kuangyin only frowned slightly and did not speak.
He is the true king who has emerged from the darkest troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Jin Wushu's words naturally do not conform to any teachings of the Master and the principles of the classics and history that can be proclaimed. However, Zhao Kuangyin knows , That is indeed the most fundamental and true relationship between nations and people in troubled times.
In the days of impermanence and impermanence, he has seen more countries and countries, homes and homes, and even among the emperor, father and son, and children. They are driven by interests and attacked each other for the sake of the emperor. Slashing revenge is a case of omnipotence.
Those principles, those orders, and those peaceful and prosperous times must be strong enough and strong enough to maintain them.
Once there is no strong force between heaven and earth to maintain all of these rules, then all that remains is the bare facts of the weak and the strong, and the survival of the fittest.
Naturally, when the Jurchens invaded Da Song Heshan that day, I don’t know how many creatures were wailing under their iron hooves. Every Jurchen sergeant’s hand was contaminated with the flesh and blood of a good man of the Han family, such a blood debt. Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to forget, nor would he forget.
However, in his opinion, the real way for the Jurchens to repay such a blood debt does not lie in verbal chatter, not in the amount of condemnation and warning over justice and morality, and of course it is impossible to place hopes on the Jurchens. One day, my conscience discovers, repents, and bows his head in repentance.
All of this, I can only wait for the day when I have enough strength to get back on the battlefield, on the battle horse, using the name of a Jurchen, and with the blood of a man of Song Dynasty!
Since the country only believes in the strong, as long as the Song Empire truly has the powerful arms that are sufficient to deter this world, the Jurchen clan must learn to bear what they have done in the past. fate.
Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Kuangyin’s calm eyes, but somehow he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, he couldn’t help but coughed, turned his head and said, “On that day, our Jurchen clan went south, we actually wanted nothing more than that. It’s about looting more gold and silver wealth, taking more children’s jade silk, and even the arrangement of the road when we retreat has already been arranged in the morning. After all, the number of Song people in the Southern Kingdom is ten times and one hundred times as many as our Jurchens, if Really all rise up to resist, I'm afraid that even if my Jurchen is brave and good at fighting, it will be unstoppable."
"It's a pity," Jin Wushu's face appeared with a strange look: "The Song Army in that day can really be said to have fled to our Jurchens. I remember most of them being on the Quzhou River, our Jurchens. I live in the immediate area for many years, and I am the least familiar with water warfare. Although we had tied up a large raft, most of the sergeants were still weak in their arms and feet when crossing the river, and even unable to shoot arrows at all. When crossing the river that day , Originally, we had sent scouts to detect that there was no Song army in the vicinity, but for some reason, when most of our troops were already floating on the raft to the middle reaches, there were thousands of people who did not know where they came from. The famous Song Jun came out, with your god arm bow and bed crossbow!"
Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly. He is the emperor of the bow and horse. He was originally good at marching formations. This time he personally led the march, and he is no stranger to the current equipment and weapons.
Over the past hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, the finances were prosperous, and there were many surpluses every year. There were also officials specializing in the development of ordnance. They did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money. Therefore, it was in weapons and weapons, whether compared to the Khitan or Liao. The Jurchen Daikin can be regarded as quite advantageous.
Just like this god-arm bow and bed crossbow, both of them are invincible arrows that have been refined and improved. They not only have a very long range, but also have great power. On that day, the Song army, the Khitan Liao Kingdom, and Xixia attacked and defended each other for more than a hundred years. , Being able to occupy the city without losing, also quite benefited from this kind of equipment that is a bit sharper than that between Liao and Xia.
If it is said that under the situation mentioned by Jin Wushu, the Jurchen Army is placed on the wooden raft in the half-du, uncovered and uncovered, it is simply a moving living target, even if it has the ability to shoot arrows to cover, Under the powerful bows and arrows of those Song army occupying the land on the shore, they will inevitably lose their armor and abandon their armor, causing heavy losses, and there is absolutely no chance of getting on the beach.
Although the Jurchens were fierce in those days, making the Song Dynasty almost into the state of subjugation and extinction, but in essence, they only gave full play to the characteristics of the Jurchen cavalry coming and going like wind, following the original Song Dynasty’s reception of Jurchen envoys inadvertently letting women The real-life detective route is all the way to Bianjing. In fact, after hundreds of battles with the Khitan and Liao Kingdoms, the number of Jurchen troops who really wielded troops into the Song Dynasty is even less than Wanqi. It's not that there is no idea of holding ground, but the reason is that the number of people is really too small.
So if it was the Song army who had not been detected by the Jurchen gold scouts for some reason that day, and happened to meet the main force of the Jurchen army, if he could seize the opportunity and strike halfway, I'm afraid the whole battle between Song and Jin will be May be rewritten as a result.
It’s just that today, Zhao Kuangyin naturally understands that such a situation did not really occur, and since Jin Wushu did what he said, it’s probably because the matter developed to a different ending later, so he I couldn't help but frowned slightly and sighed slightly.
Jin Wushu looked at his expression and shook his head and sighed: "That's right! We thought we were not fortunate anymore. The few warriors above the front wooden platoon were unwilling to wait for death without resistance. , So he drew the scimitar, turned on his horse, and yelled to drive the horse toward the water in front of him."
"At that time, the wooden raft only reached the middle reaches. In those days, it was rainy for months and the water was in a hurry. These Jurchen warriors were not able to drive their horses and land as they hoped. Instead, they just sank into the water. In a sudden rush, the Song army on the shore yelled like this, turned around and ran away, even without the swords and arrows in their hands. Just after we landed, they picked up knives, guns and weapons all over the floor. ."
Zhao Kuangyin sighed for a long time. Although he had expected such a result, he couldn't help but feel gloomy for a while.
Surviving in such a peaceful environment for too long, no matter how active training is done on weekdays, many of the most essential things that should belong to the soldier will always disappear, just like a domesticated beast, no matter how you train it. Sophisticated, it still can't keep the wildness on it.
For a long time, I have hoped to bring a real prosperity and prosperity to the people of the world. However, if the promotion is too long, it seems that everyone will become addicted to the life in front of them, and no longer have the vitality and confidence. What will the future Great Song Empire look like
Jin Wushu smiled and said: "It is because we have encountered too many such troops in the Song Realm, that's why we have retreated after retreating from the army, and then come back and take your two kings into captivity."
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, frowning and said: "The Marshal is a long talk, isn't he just thinking about reminiscing with me back then?!"
Jin Wushu smiled faintly, and then said: "At the time, this commander also thought that the Song people were weak and scattered. Even if the number of people was a hundred times more, it was still not enough to be afraid. Therefore, after the army returned to the army at that time, this commander alone raised a strong team. , Crossing the Yangtze River and going south, at that time the commander only felt as strong as the Liao of Khitan, and also fell apart under his iron cavalry. An army as vulnerable as the Southern Song Dynasty people, I am afraid that this commander would even want to fight a good battle. I can't do it myself!"
"Unexpectedly", Jin Wushu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This commander was really defeated. Although the commander still brought the main force of the Jurchen army back to Jiangbei safely, but this commander has never had it in his life. For a moment, I was in a hurry like those days."
After so many years, every time he mentioned the situation at that time, there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.
He will remember the dusk under Chengzhou all his life, Huang Tiandang, and Zhuxian Town...
In the past, when their Jurchen cavalry met their enemies, they were always used to win more with less and build strength with weakness. Even if the Khitan Golden Wolf Army also deterred the world with bows and horses, they would never Will be the opponent of their Jurchen cavalry.
However, in Huang Tiandang, under the leadership of Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, the eight thousand Song Jun forced the 100,000 most well-equipped Jurchen cavalry to block him for forty-eight days, if not among the southerners. There is a scum like Wang Lu, and he acted decisively, not hesitating to fill it with his life, I am afraid that among the 100,000 army, I don't know how many people can survive in Jiangbei.
Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Liu Qi... Jin Wushu couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he thought of the names that he hadn't known to say in his mouth or heart several times every day over the past few years.
It's okay to defeat a war, and there is no general who is always victorious.
In the beginning, when they were still under the control of the Liao people, they had resisted and lost. They lost terribly, but it was nothing.
It was the men of Song Dynasty that surprised him!
In front of an army that is several times or even dozens of times more than theirs, they dared to move forward and fear death. They even dared to hold hands and draw long bamboo poles with knives and guns, using their flesh and blood. The body, the iron-hoofed warhorse that came to obstruct the Jurchen army abruptly, roared stunned, and ate flesh and blood, but it was among the flying blood, half a step without retreating.
From the eyes of these Song people, he saw the monstrous hatred and fierce fighting intent he had once possessed, even ten times or a hundred times more violent than the original him.
In fact, since Huang Tiandang finally returned to Jiangbei that day, he knew that as long as the Song Dynasty had these generals, the Jurchen tribe's iron cavalry would never have the opportunity to set foot on the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River.
He has no hatred for these tiger generals, although in their hands he suffered a failure that he has never had in his life, although in their hands he has almost survived a few times, but in his hands In his heart, for the few generals who were in a hostile position, in fact, he always held a kind of unspeakable sympathy that he couldn't even express himself.
In fact, they have the same blood flowing in their bones!
It's a pity that although he is actually eager and able to fight them to the death on the battlefield, in the end he can only use those methods outside the battlefield to get rid of these enemies!
Because now he is no longer the simple juvenile hero of the tribe living in the white mountains and the black waters. The Jurchen clan is now the capital of the country, occupying thousands of miles, and he is already the chief minister above the court, what he thinks All concerns must be taken from the perspective of the country.
He sighed and said: "I really don't understand what kind of race you Southern Song people are, and why sometimes they are so weak that they are incredibly weak, but in a blink of an eye, they have to be able to explode. Such a terrifying combat power?!"
"I still don't understand this question. It's like..." He shook his head and looked at Zhao Kuangyin: "It's like I still don't understand what kind of person your Majesty is."
Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly, shook his head and said nothing.
Jin Wushu said to himself: "But since then, I have been certain of one thing, that is, if one day I die on the battlefield, if one day the most elite jurchen clan under my account will be there. Under my leadership, I have suffered an irreversible defeat, so that terrible opponent must be your Song Kingdom’s army!"
"So" Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Kuangyin and smiled softly: "So this commander actually anticipated that one day, he might fall into the situation it is today!"
He turned his eyes back, looked at the foot of the mountain, and said: "There is no undefeated general in the world, but Jin Wushu can be defeated and die. Even the 200,000 Jurchen army under the mountain can be defeated and die, but the Daijin Empire cannot be defeated. , The Jurchen clan cannot be disbanded!"
He sighed lightly and said: "This commander also knows that if one day the Great Song army can defeat this Jurchen cavalry led by this commander, then we are already very difficult to resist the Song Kingdom's military might. So this commander, in the list of Emperor Shang Dajin who remained in the capital, proposed to me Emperor Dajin the only way to contain Da Song under such circumstances."
"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly and looked at Jin Wushu, with an inquiring expression in his eyes.
Jin Wushu looked at Zhao Kuangyin, with a slightly secretive smile on the corner of his mouth, and gently spit out four words: "Heaven-Water-County-Gong!"
