Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

This year, Yu Yunwen was 21 years old, just at the age of high spirits.

He was wearing the clothes of the University of Tokyo. He had a thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high nose bridge. Although he was not tall, his figure was extraordinarily tall and straight, giving people a feeling of vitality.

Zhao Ning said: "There is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Are you a student at the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Engineering?"

"Yes."

"Why choose Engineering College?"

"If you learn it well, you can build a city."

Zhao Ning was quite surprised by Yu Yunwen's answer.

"Are you keen on building castles?"

"Whether it is defending the army or expanding the border, we must build a city. Restoring the homeland of China lies in building a city, and expanding the border also lies in building a city."

"Oh, expanding the frontier is also about building a city. What's the explanation?"

"For example, the Hexi Corridor, even if the Song Dynasty takes it back by force, if it does not build a large-scale city in the Hexi Corridor, it will be difficult to communicate with the Central Plains, and it will be reoccupied by the enemy after a short time. Therefore, the students believe that expanding the border is also a good idea. It's about building a city."

He answered in very clear and straightforward words.

Then, he continued to emphasize: "Expanding borders is not about expanding the territory, but about applying kingship. Those who give kingship are people, and there are no people. How can they be kingly? If you can't give kingship, the four sides will not accept it. He An?"

Zhao Ning immediately became interested in this person. He is only 21 years old, and he has such a thorough understanding of the issue of extension.

"Who taught you this?"

Yu Yunwen replied: "The students thought about it when they were studying."

"What book did you read?"

"Your Majesty's books have been read, such as "On the Boat People", "Seeking Truth from Facts", "On War", and the latest "Market Balance". "Steel New Theory" and "City Road Theory" are also read."

Zhao Ning asked: "Have you read the Confucian classics?"

"There are readings. Students have read Confucian classics since they were young, and they also read Cheng Ziluo's studies."

"Then why did you join the University of Tokyo?"

Yu Yunwen replied calmly: "Confucianism emphasizes etiquette, and etiquette is the foundation of the world. It's the avenue."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, Confucianism has not been eradicated in China until the 21st century, but the dross has been eliminated.

Chinese people's propriety, righteousness, faith, restraint, responsibility, etc. all come from Confucianism.

For example, "Heaven will send a great responsibility to the people", "Learn and learn from time to time", "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself", etc., all come from Confucianism.

That's why the concept of "ruling the country by law" and "ruling the country by virtue" was put forward.

There is only law, no virtue, and it is an indifferent society. When there is no disaster, it can generally live in peace. Once disaster strikes, it will quickly collapse and become a mess.

The combination of Confucianism and new learning that Yu Yunwen mentioned is exactly what Zhao Ning has always wanted to do.

"The Kong family is collaborating with the enemy, do you know?"

"Students know."

"Then you still study Confucianism?"

"Confucianism originated from the Rites of Zhou and was completed by Confucius. What is the relationship with the Confucian family?"

"Then do you think it's correct for me to deal with the Kong family and send them all to guard the border?"

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, His Majesty is already benevolent not to kill them."

It seems that people have different opinions on the matter of the Confucian government collaborating with the enemy.

The faith of many Confucian scholars has indeed collapsed, but there are still some who don't take the Confucian family seriously at all.

Zhao Ning liked this young man more and more, and he said, "Do you know why I summoned you?"

"Students don't know."

Zhao Ning asked someone to pass Wu Jie's military report to Yu Yunwen, and said, "You can see it after reading this."

Yu Yunwen took it, opened it curiously, and began to read.

When he saw this, he was slightly surprised that Zhao Guan's family actually reported the frontline army to him.

He began to read excitedly, and read carefully.

But after reading some content, I was extremely shocked and angry.

Because there are many descriptions of how the Jin Army fished and meated the common people in Taiyuan City.

"Our army conquered Taiyuan, and the Kingdom of Jin will be furious. I want you to go to the front line, meet the envoys of Jin, and hold Jin people accountable."

"Students are willing to go!"

"Do you know how dangerous it is to go here?"

Yu Yunwen suddenly said excitedly: "A real man was born between heaven and earth, why be afraid of this!"

"It's a narrow escape!"

"Students are willing to go!"

"I want you to scold the envoy of Jin angrily, scold you however you want, I will give you confidence, if Song and Jin go to war, Great Song will conquer the north with all its might!"

Yu Yunwen set out on the road with a mortal heart.

But in fact, he thought too much, how could Zhao Ning send him to die?

Since the peace talks between Song and Jin, they have set up embassies in Zhending Prefecture to facilitate flexible exchanges between the two sides.

This is also a compromise between the two parties' respective wishes in the great era.

In fact, as Zong Wang came to Yanjing to take power, Wanyan Zong was in full swing, and the power of the Zhuhe faction in the court of the Kingdom of Jin rose, and the voice of wanting to do business with the Song Dynasty became louder and louder.

Rather than saying that the embassy was placed in Zhendingfu for the sake of flexible exchanges between the two sides, it is better to say that it is for preparations for trade.

Yu Yunwen didn't go to Yanjing, let alone Shangjing.

It's just a matter of going.

But even going to Zhending requires courage for many Song people.

If you don’t believe me, you can ask some people in Tokyo to join the army and guard the border, would they be willing?

He promises to tell you that he is always ready to sacrifice.

But if you register him immediately and let him go north tomorrow, he promises to tell you that he had a bad stomach last night and he will go home beforehand.

There are not many people like Yu Yunwen who tell me to go north and I pack up right away.

On the evening of December [-]th, Taiyuan City.

Wu Jie's appointment letter has arrived.

It was still Liu Kai who came.

Liu Kai smiled and said, "Congratulations to Shuai Wu."

"It's all supported by Zong Xianggong and Liu Zhifu, as well as the joint efforts of the army and the people of Taiyuan City. I dare not take credit for it."

"Wu Shuai, this is His Majesty's oracle."

Wu Jie immediately became serious.

"Your Majesty said to let you see for yourself."

Wu Jie opened it and saw that at first it was some scene talk, not only affirming his meritorious service, but also expressing condolences to all the soldiers of the Divine Guard, and asking him to greet the people of Taiyuan.

In the end, I hope that he will properly escort the prisoners of war to the south, emphasizing: the road is very dangerous, if you lose the prisoners of war, you may not be able to find them, even if the imperial court sends people to search the mountains, you may not be able to find them, so you must pay attention ah!

"Wu Shuai, quickly set up the Hedong Economic Strategy Division. When everything is ready, you have to go back to Tokyo. His Majesty has something important to see you."

"Oh?"

"It's about recovering the Gu Mansion and taking back Daizhou. I guess His Majesty still wants to take back Yunzhong through Taiyuan."

Wu Jie pondered, he was a little worried that the imperial court would be eager for quick success after seeing Taiyuan regained so smoothly.

"By the way, leave Wanyan Jia's mother to the people of Taiyuan to deal with. This is what His Majesty meant."

On December [-], grain from Pingyao and Fenzhou northbound arrived in Taiyuan, and Taiyuan began to distribute grain.

People lined up on the street to get it.

Order was slowly being restored. People packed up the remains of the war dead and buried them together outside the city.

On the evening of December [-], Wu Jie hosted a banquet for the generals of the Jin army who surrendered, including Wanyan Hujia.

Chapter 470 Encountering an Unexpected Golden Army? (Second more)

Before going to the banquet, Wu Li didn't say to Wanyan Hujia: "Shangguan, Song people don't poison their wine, do they?"

Wanyan Hujia laughed loudly: "Based on what I've observed so far, you don't have to worry, the Song people don't treat us at all."

"how do I say this?"

"I, Dajin, signed a peace agreement with the Song State. Now that the Song people have rashly attacked Taiyuan and tore up the contract first, the news must have reached Yanjing. At that time, the imperial court will send a large army to the south to attack the Song Dynasty. Will the Song State be able to bear it?"

Wu Li didn't say: "Shangguan means that Song Guo still wants to keep our bargaining chip?"

Wanyan Hujia said: "Song Kingdom will definitely provide us with good wine and meat!"

When Wanyan Hujia said this, Wuli didn't understand immediately, he even became excited: "What Shangguan means is that we can go back?"

"Not only can we go back, but we can continue to come to Taiyuan in the future and sleep with the women of Song Dynasty!"

Several officers of the Golden Army also became excited. Now that they heard that Wu Jie was going to entertain them, not only were they not afraid, they were even a little excited!

Wu Jie asked Yang Zheng: "Will those Jin people be willing to go to the banquet?"

"Maybe I don't want to, because I'm worried that we'll be poisoned."

"Tell them we sincerely invite you."

At this time, people from outside came in: "Wu Shuai, everyone is here."

"Please!"

After Wanyan Hujia and the others came in, they didn't salute, and stood there like a little black duck.

He raised his head and did not look at Wu Jie and the others.

Wu Jie said: "Everyone, please take your seat."

The translator is Wu Jie.

When they saw Wu Jie being so polite, they became more sure of their thoughts and became more unscrupulous.

Wu Li didn't even put one foot on the table after sitting down, with a look of "I'm so awesome".

Yang Zheng wanted to stand up and reprimand, but Wu Jie stopped him.

Wu Jie smiled and said: "Everyone, I have prepared wine and meat, you can enjoy it to your heart's content.

With an order, the people outside began to serve wine and meat.

After a while, everyone's table was set up.

Wanyan Hujia deliberately said: "It won't be poisonous, right?"

An officer of the Song Army stepped forward, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Jinren must be non-toxic.

These people couldn't help but picked up their wine glasses to drink, and then ate the meat in big mouthfuls.

Wu Jie said: "After eating, everyone, bring your own people and set off southward."

Wanyan Hujia said, "Where do we go south?"

"Tokyo, of course."

"Why are we going to Tokyo?"

"The Son of Heaven wants to see you."
