Chapter 52: On the World
Seeing that Yu Yunwen was silent, Zhao Huan knew that although he was young, he was actually very knowledgeable and a loyal believer of Confucianism. He could not immediately accept some theories that did not conform to Confucian classics, so he had to do so.
Then he encouraged him a few more words, and finally ordered: "Chang'an Defense Envoy is just a power, because you have no military position and are white, so you have to be appointed like this. To put out the fire tonight, but yesterday the enemy was the enemy. You are all the most important things, the scholars and civilians of the world, ministers and soldiers, and you will not have any objections to the heavy use of you. What do you mean is to be a pacifier in the place, or to praise military affairs by my side?"
Yu Yunwen was startled and replied subconsciously: "How dare I take this important task suddenly!"
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "The talent you showed yesterday tonight is not even better than the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor. You are just white and you can achieve this position all at once. I am afraid that there will be any harm to the object, so I will leave some room. Why, are you not satisfied?"
"How dare you!"
Yu Yunwen had already come back to his senses. Looking at the emperor's face, he seemed to be joking. He calmed down and said, "Your Majesty also said that I am just a silly person. I am too young and it is not a good thing to be too over-the-job. In my opinion, it is best that Your Majesty does not grant me official positions, but let me continue to participate in the imperial examination. After the Chinese style, it will be better to use it. "
He was determined to be a good official from the right path and to be an official with a dignified manner. Unexpectedly, in Zhao Huan's eyes, he was very capable, and in the other hand, he was a major example of breaking the deadlock in the imperial examination.
Who said that famous officials and capable officials must be Jinshi and younger brothers?
He waved his hands repeatedly and said to Yu Yunwen: "I heard Yao Pingzhong say something about your affairs. I was worried that my parents were old and did not plan to do things. At the same time, I felt that I and my ninth brother were not able to assist me, and I became even more indifferent to the center of the earth when I came to take the exam and become an official. I expected that after I escaped from the Jin Dynasty, I worked hard to manage and repair the armored soldiers. You and Yao Pingzhong were moved together. Traveling around the world, helping me with Lin'an, and strengthening my determination to do things. This battle in Chang'an was God's will to teach me with you. Since that's the case, why do you have to stick to the form and follow the steps after I came from the imperial examination?"
Seeing that Yu Yunwen was silent, Zhao Huan showed his inspiring eyes and tone when he was in the meeting that year, and then induced him: "Extraordinary times, extraordinary things will be done. Today, if they are all determined to make a law, how can it help the world's general trend? Zhuge Liang offered Longzhong's match at the age of 27. He is not a good Jinshi! Yu Qing, I value your talents and regard you as my lie-down dragon. Don't let me down."
Although Yu Yunwen is extremely talented, he is still young. How could he withstand the old fried dough stick Zhao Huan in this tone? His face turned red. After a while, he ate and said, "How dare I take it..."
"You get up locally!"
Zhao Huan waved his hand violently and said decisively: "I doubt that people don't need them, and I don't doubt people. I will first give you a master of the Sumilius. I will praise the clan and the servants of the Jiagemen, follow Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding to do things well."
Speaking of this, he looked at the other party and smiled, "It seems that he is too young now. In a few years, he will be a Privy Councilor or a push, and they will look like he is."
As an emperor, it is really a rare honor to promise his official position in this way.
Yu Yunwen was in his twenties, and Zhao Huan was so handsome. His eyes were red and he almost burst into tears. He could hardly hold it back. After a while, he said to Zhao Huan in a deep voice: "Your Majesty treats me like this, I will definitely devote my whole life to you until you die."
Then he knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness. When he got up, his identity was different. Zhao Huan said to him seriously: "Zhang Jun is too tired. Wang Ye is in charge of me. Zhao Ding is not by my side. You are very young. I will be by my side for more than a few days to praise me. Can you do it?"
"Your Majesty, if you need it, I will naturally do my best to serve you."
"good."
Zhao Huan looked at him with admiration, then ordered someone to put on a chair and let the young minister sit down, and then asked him again: "Yu Qing, what do you think of the war back then?"
Yu Yunwen bowed slightly and replied to Zhao Huan: "If I had been worried about the loss of Longmen and the enemy attacking each other a few days ago, since Your Majesty is heroic and wise, and defeating the enemy's surprise soldiers in Chang'an, there is no need to say that this battle has been won. The enemy is not stupid, and will not fight with our 200,000 imperial guards in the Qianli Valley Road of Tongguan, he will only lose his troops and generals. But now we have already taken the lead. How to expand the results of the battle? After this battle, it is really necessary to start the layout in advance. This is the most important thing."
In fact, without saying that, with Zhao Huan's profound historical knowledge and military common sense that has grown in the past two years, after the Chang'an War, he had already vaguely felt that the Song and Jin war had begun to transform from an absolute disadvantage in the Song Dynasty to a relatively balanced strategic stalemate stage.
The Jin Kingdom could not conquer Guanshan and could not descend to Jiangnan. The Tongguan War began with the gathering of Jin troops near Tongguan and ended with the persistence of Chang'an. After this battle, the disadvantages of the Song Ru Jin Kingdom's lack of comprehensive national strength, which was slowly restored to its original energy will definitely be gradually highlighted.
However, the Song army's field battles are not the opponent of the Jin soldiers, but Zhao Huan has already made a conclusion in his mind. In his hands, fighting with the Jin Kingdom is no longer like a pure ancient war, but just a battle for power on the battlefield.
To fight, it is to fight a comprehensive national strength and a comprehensive war. In his hands, the national strength of the Song Dynasty will be fully exerted, and the balance of strategic confrontation in front of him can be reversed to the favorable situation of the Song Dynasty.
But he didn't have a complete strategy in his mind. Whenever he thought about it late at night, when he was excited, he felt that he was inspiring his spirits and was very wise and wise. When he handled daily government affairs every day, he felt that it was difficult to start. And when he could really put the so-called overall idea into practice, there were too few. Every time he punched a heavy blow, it was like a stone falling into the Yangtze River, which only stirred a few drops of water, and then returned to peace.
Only at this time did he deeply understand how difficult it is to change a dynasty and a system that lasted for thousands of years by one person.
At this point, I thought about the founding emperors who had achieved the world and transformed the world with one's own strength, and only then did I feel that my talents were far from enough and far away.
The only thing he can do is to be stronger than ordinary emperors is that he is well aware of the changes in the world's general trends and with this strength, he can stand out in the world's heroes.
Yu Yunwen, who was in front of him, deduced and judged the subtle changes in the overall situation of the world based on the results of the battle in Chang'an and his daily observations, which made him very impressed.
Seeing the emperor's expression of admiration, Yu Yunwen was very humble and smiled at Zhao Huan, "In fact, there are many talents in the world, and my knowledge cannot be said to be far superior to ordinary people. Just the view of the moment, there are many ministers in the court who can judge it."
Zhao Huan ignored his modest words, stared at him and asked, "Since you said that the general trend of the world is inclined toward the Song Dynasty, in your opinion, what should we do next?"
Yu Yunwen did not hesitate. What Zhao Huan asked was something he had been thinking about recently. As soon as he heard the interrogation, he immediately replied: "Get Hedong, recover Taiyuan, use the land of victory, and serve as a support to Guanzhong, so that the Jin soldiers can be difficult to enter Sichuan and Shaanxi again. This is one of them; select and appoint a general, train the imperial guards and navy in the south of the Yangtze River and serve as a support to each other with Jingxiang, so that the Jin soldiers will be difficult to enter the two lakes and two lakes again, and these are the two."
Zhao Huan was not satisfied and shook his head and said, "These are all defensives. After the battle of Zhang Jun, the enemy was frustrated. How can we use this victory well?"
Yu Yunwen's eyes were bright and replied: "The main forces of the enemy are gathered on the front line of Tongguan. Hedong is empty and the cavalry is defeated. In my humble opinion, Zhang Jun's troops have Zhang Xian and Yao Duan and other powerful generals. They will never be really dragged by the remaining enemies in Hedong. They will definitely do something. This step of 30,000 elite troops can disrupt the enemy's turmoil. When the enemy is in chaos, we have a chance. We can retreat and defend steadily and advance to defeat the enemy! As for Jing Xiang, we are now being dragged by Zhong Xiang's thief, but it's fine, and the two are accurate.
There are Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong's three armies with 100,000 troops, and the opponents were only the soldiers of Li Cheng, Li Cheng and others of the pseudo-Qi, and they were not opponents at all. In my opinion, Your Majesty should issue an edict to order these two people to march from Zhunyang and other places to enter Shandong. In this way, if the enemy is attacked from both sides, they will definitely be in chaos. At that time, the time to conquer the Central Plains and confront the enemy across the Yellow River. Then, the army will be much more calm when fighting with the enemy. As for what the backhand is, it is not what I can expect now."
These views were really obtained by Yu Yunwen's painstaking efforts, including the conclusions obtained by Yao Pingzhong while traveling to Xihedong, Beijing, and other roads. After saying that, Zhao Huan just smiled and listened quietly, without any particular surprise, but it made the young man a little angry.
After a while, Fang heard Zhao Huan laugh and said, "These are rare. It is already extremely rare to think of this. But the most serious thing is not to restore the Central Plains or Taiyuan in Hedong. Think about it carefully, what am I talking about?"
Yu Yunwen pondered for a long time, and saw Zhao Huan gradually showing disappointment, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, slapped his legs and shouted: "Why? If there is no good horse and fight with the enemy in the Hebei Plain, how can he recover Yan Yun?"
Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up, arrived in front of him, stared at him and said, "You are really a genius!"
The ancients all regretted that Zhao Gou did not allow Yue Fei to enter the Northern Expedition. In fact, although Yue Fei won a great victory at that time, he did not defeat the main force of the Jin soldiers. Wanyan Zongbi's strength was not damaged, but the cavalry of Yue Fei's troops had already been greatly damaged and was very tired. Wanyan Zongbi showed the enemy as weak and lured Yue Fei to continue the attack. If he really fought, the victory or defeat was actually unpredictable.
This is still the case in the heart of the Central Plains. How could the Song army, which was seriously lacking in cavalry, face the Jin cavalry like a wolf or a tiger on the Hebei Plain? Therefore, the Northern Expedition was difficult to implement, which was also the consensus of many civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty.
The Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was also successful with powerful cavalry commanded by Chang Yuchun.
