Chapter 99 Zhizi Mo Ruofu
"Don't argue!"
Wang Yu suddenly became angry and suddenly slapped the table. Zhang Xiaochun was shocked, and a series of words to his mouth were swallowed back, and his mouth twitched and his beard trembled.
"The student talks too much, teacher, please calm your anger." Chu Tianya holds a boxing.
"In the face of the big enemy, the first thing we need to consider is how to respond to the enemy! Respond to the enemy! Respond to the enemy!!"
Wang Yu said three enemies in a row, one in a higher tone than the other. At the same time, he punched three times on the table, and the tea cup was about to be shaken upside down. It can be seen that he is extremely disgusted with Zhang Xiaochun's style of considering responsibility and consequences in advance.
In today's officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there are piles of redundant personnel and bloated institutions, resulting in the inefficiency of the imperial cardinal and government offices. In the same official business, there may be countless officials and departments. If things go wrong, the first reaction of the officials is to shirk their responsibilities, rather than how to remedy the mistakes and recover losses. In the long run, such a vicious circle has been formed in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty - inefficiency, sirking responsibilities, thinking about the consequences and retreats in advance, which eventually leads to deep corruption and overall inaction.
Seeing Wang's anger, Zhang Xiaochun felt ashamed and couldn't help saying, "Why should Wang Dutong be so angry? I just want to be more thoughtful. If you want to stick to Hedong to fight against the attack of the Jin Kingdom, the power of the lonely city of Taiyuan alone is always a little meager. In the final analysis, we still have to rely on the court. What kind of attitude the imperial court will eventually have and whether it will help me is related to the final success or failure. What did I do wrong?"
"What Zhang Zhifu said is very true." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chu Tianya hurried out and said, "What kind of attitude will the court have? We can't control or fight for it. We can only wait and see what happens. The method that the students just said is the countermeasures that should be taken for two different situations. In a word, it is best if the court sent troops to help; if not, Taiyuan must also fight to the end. We can't hope for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court until they arrive at the bottom of Taiyuan City for a day. Students think it will be more appropriate to prepare for the worst and try their best.
"This makes a little sense." Zhang Xiaochun finally heard a pertinent word, and he was slightly relieved. He nodded and said, "Although I don't know anything about military affairs, I have been a well-known official for many years. As far as I am concerned, the military cannot be separated from the court and politics at any time. When this country is in trouble, no one can be brave enough to compete with the power of a county to compete with the power of an enemy country. Otherwise, even if you can hold on for a while, can you still survive for a lifetime?
"Okay, Zhang Zhifu, I know that what you said makes sense, and I don't want to argue with you!" Wang Wei said, "Only at this time, it is to let Taiyuan survive this time, and the court has room for maneuver and respite when dealing with the invasion of the maiden. As for whether the court will send troops to help or issue a decree to cure the crime, it will be a matter of the future. If you want to be guilty, I will take it all my strength. Now we just need to cooperate and fight against the truth first to protect the people!"
Zhang Xiaochun nodded and sighed, "That's all, you and I don't have to argue. After all, it's all for the protection of Taiyuan. What's the dispute? Within three days, the real woman will attack the city. The most urgent task is to strengthen the city defense and unite the two rebels to fight against the enemy. If I am not good at the military, I won't play tricks. Please say goodbye!"
"Zhang Zhifu is good!"
Zhang Xiaochun left, and Wang Yu and Chu Tianya looked at each other with a wry smile and breathed.
"In fact, Zhang Xiaochun is a good official. If it were another vulgar official, Taiyuan would not have the current situation. Wang Wei said, "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, I was a civil official who led the army to command the operation. Zhang Xiaochun's value is that he knew that he was not good at the military, so he did not interrupt and command blindly, and led the government to fully cooperate with the army to do a lot of practical things. Tianya, I found that you seem to have a big pattern on the civil servants of the Song Dynasty. But you have to remember that there are shortness and strength. Whether it is to protect the people or save the country, it is impossible to rely on force alone. My scholars in the Song Dynasty have some bad roots and bad habits, but in general, their talents and knowledge are still very promising for the country.
"The students remember." Chu Tianya nodded and said to himself, Wang Yu's words are right. The official class is the most important group in any era. The upper royal family governs the people through them, and the people and officials have a close relationship of mutual restraint and interdependence. The thoughts and actions of officials directly represent the style of an era. The ability of officials is not to be underestimated. Although they are led by the imperial power, they in turn restrict the imperial power. Although they govern the people on behalf of the imperial power, they also reflect the voices and needs of the people.
If a country is like a person, the imperial power is like a brain, and the people are the five facial features and limbs, then the official is the nerve hub!
The official atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was bad, but the root was within the imperial power. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If there is no good superstructure to lead the officials, it is difficult for them to do it well.
Wang's simple words also gave Chu Tianya a point: the official class is like a double-edged sword. Whether to use it to commit murder or do good, it all depends on the user himself! The root of various negative phenomena in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty lies in the decay and degradation of the imperial power, and the official class can only follow the imperial power. If you want to change this unfavorable situation, it is far from enough to kill some corrupt officials and make some changes and innovations - the only effective and fastest way is to reshape the imperial power and build a new upper-level political system to re-guide the official class.
In short, it is to change the dynasty!
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the following phenomenon - whenever a dynasty and regime are newly established, politics is always clear and upward. However, the superstructure that holds the highest power and enjoys the most benefits is always the first to decay, thus guiding the official class to gradually degenerate and the political situation. It will inevitably lead to darkness and corruption.
There is evidence for victory or defeat, and there is evidence for rise and fall; the course of history is like metabolism, and there is no eternal dynasty, and there is no perfect country.
At this moment, an idea has also taken root in Chu Tianya's heart - to save Taiyuan, military vertical and horizontal is just a small fight after all; if you can save a city, you can't save a country; if you can save a while, you can't save a while. If you really want to revitalize this country and save this era, you must reshape the political system and start from the imperial power!
Looking at Wang's long gray beard and old face, Chu Tianya frowned and said secretly: I can't write or martial arts, but the biggest difference between me and everyone in this era may be that my ideas are different from them! Wang Yu, a general, is a loyal minister, but the most he can do is to return the corpse of Ma Ge and repay the king's kindness with death. Wang Anshi is the most representative and daring civil servant of the Song Dynasty, but he does not dare to start the imperial power. Fang La made the rebellion of the Song Dynasty, but he did not dare to point the gun head directly at the official family, maybe I don't understand why I failed... There are thousands of roads, and there is only one hope to succeed!
"I will keep exploring and try to find this way out! - Although tens of millions of people are blocked, I will follow this road and go down unswervingly!" Chu Tianya swore secretly in his heart.
"Tianya, our military plan may have to make some corrections." After looking at the military and political map of Taiyuan and thinking about it alone for a long time, Wang Yu said, "Wanyan Zonghan is a powerful role, which cannot be underestimated. I thought that the reason why he went south with great fanfare was to find out what happened in Taiyuan Prefecture, including our military deployment. Now, he may not attack Taiyuan directly, otherwise he will fall into the trap we designed in advance, and the grain channel will be broken and attacked on all sides. Wanyan Zonghan can be regarded as the founding father and the first general of the woman. With his military achievements, it is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake.
Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Students have been thinking about this problem for the past two days. Think about it in your shoes. If the student is Wanyan Zonghan, he will definitely not come directly to attack Taiyuan. I will besiege the city to fight for help, and first remove the two auxiliary wings of Taiyuan - the rebels of Xishan and Taihang!"
"This theory coincides with me!" A sharp light flashed in Wang's eyes. He slapped the map and said, "Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan is very likely to pick the weakest force first, that is, hit Xishan first and eradicate the righteous force of Meng De!"
"Cutping its auxiliary wings and breaking them is indeed a good tactic for the heroine." Chu Tianya nodded with twined eyebrows, "There was a civil strife in Xishan. Now there are only 20,000 to 30,000 horses in the hands of Meng De and Ma, and the armor is not enough, which is far worse than the combat effectiveness of the daughter's real iron rider. If the real woman first concentrates on killing Xishan, and then turns back to deal with the Taihang Village and destroys the two auxiliary wings first, then Taiyuan will really fall into a situation of being helpless and waiting to die!"
"So, we must not let such a thing happen!" Wang Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Chu Tianya and said, "Tianya, I have a bold idea!"
"Teacher, please tell me." Chu Tianya asked.
"From some details of the military aircraft discussed a few days ago, I saw it. Taihang and the righteous troops of Xishan are called alliances, but in fact, they have their own intentions and discord. Wang Yu said, "As soon as the real woman breaks through it, it is very likely to succeed. Therefore, I want you to spare no effort to take on another heavy responsibility to truly twist the Rebels of Jiushan and Eighteen Villages into a rope, and fully concentrate and integrate their strength to fight against the gold and save the country!"
Chu Tianya took a deep breath and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"I know it's difficult, even more difficult than defending Taiyuan City." Wang Yu said, "The righteous soldiers and horses of Xishan and Taihang are still scattered, and they can't exert much combat effectiveness at all. But listen to Tianya, the past events of all dynasties have proved that often when it comes to national disasters, it is not the officers and soldiers who can really save the country and the people, but the righteous army composed of green forests and the poor people! - After listening to Zhang Xiaochun's words just now, you should also know it. In the final analysis, my king and the victory army are suffering. It is controlled by the imperial court and under the orders of the officials. Maybe when the officials say a word, all our efforts will be in vain! Because I have to send you out in advance. The territory of the reckless and righteous army may be the place that is really suitable for you!"
Chu Tianya's heart suddenly stirred up waves and thousands of thoughts - did Wang Yu already see that I didn't have any hope for the officials and court of the Song Dynasty? I have already seen that I am not in the officialdom and the military, but have made a plan to fall into the grass?
"Tianya, although you have worshipped me, I have never taught you a move and a half. But in my eyes, you are my son, just like Xun'er. As the saying goes, don't know your son like a father. Although you and I get along with each other for a short time, I always think I still have some ability to know people, and I believe my vision will not be wrong. You are not outstanding but have a wonderful ambition, which is by no means a thing in the pool. Wang Xun sighed and said, "Before the Jurchens besiege the city, you go!" Whether it's Taiyuan, officialdom, or the army, it's not suitable for you! Among other things, the cold gun and hidden arrows in the officialdom can kill you at any time. In addition to being tired of coping, you will never make any achievements, let alone bring any substantial changes to the current situation of the Song Dynasty! What you need is a special environment that allows you to completely let go of your hands and build a new order - it may be a good choice for you to be a grass king in troubled times!"
