Chapter 437 Yue Fei's Ambitions
…
People in this world simply don't know the profound significance Yue Fei carries in the dimension where Jiang Hongfei is.
He is not only the backbone of the nation, but also a historical monument. His glory has lasted for thousands of years in the hearts of the Han people, creating endless admiration and regret.
Well, Jiang Hongfei has witnessed countless changes in history and experienced the glory and loneliness of many heroes. He witnessed the tenderness of Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in the history, who gave birth to six flowers of life for herself; he also witnessed the elegance of the most talented courtesan in the history, and she was emotionally entangled with him.
All these prosperity and vicissitudes have made Jiang Hongfei's understanding of Yue Fei no longer limited to his childhood admiration and deification.
After experiencing so many things, Jiang Hongfei has learned that in the long course of history, the boundaries between heroes and traitors are not static, but fluctuate with the changes of the times and political games.
Yue Fei, who was once invincible on the battlefield, had his loyalty and sacrifice ruthlessly distorted and discredited in Game of Thrones.
But Jiang Hongfei firmly believed that Yue Fei had never had the thought of betrayal or surrender in his heart.
If this is the case, he can imitate those generals who knelt down and sued for peace for their own selfish interests, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the Jin Kingdom.
However, he chose to persevere and remain loyal until the last moment of his life.
Zhao Gou's cowardice and selfishness are in sharp contrast to Yue Fei's loyalty, courage and tragedy.
Without the efforts of Yue Fei and other generals to turn the tide, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty might have been wiped out under the iron heel of the Jin people.
In Jiang Hongfei's view, those remarks accusing Yue Fei of being a treacherous minister were nothing but nonsense and a distortion and slander of the historical truth.
Yue Fei's death is a historical tragedy and a national pain.
But no matter what, his contribution and sacrifice to the Southern Song Dynasty cannot be denied by anyone.
As for whether he deserves the title of "national hero", perhaps it can be left to future generations to comment.
But it is undeniable that he used his own life to interpret the true meaning of loyalty and responsibility.
In Jiang Hongfei's heart, Yue Fei will always be that unshakable spiritual monument. In his own way, he paid the highest respect to this great hero.
And those who try to discredit Yue Fei will eventually be drowned by the torrent of history.
In history, none of the evidence pointing to Yue Fei is tenable.
There was no way, Qin Hui and others finally convicted Yue Fei of an "unfounded" crime.
What is unnecessary?
It's just possible.
Do you even need to ask?
By the way, Jiang Hongfei actually probably knew why Zhao Gou wanted to kill Yue Fei in history.
Historically, Zhao Gou dared to use the double agent Qin Hui, and skillfully controlled the tiger and wolf soldiers to deal with the powerful enemy Jin. He not only had a profound social foundation, but also had some level and strategy.
In addition, Zhao Songneng watched helplessly as his father, mother, wife, five daughters, and the entire clan were captured and humiliated by the Jin people, but he himself was focused on escaping and only caring about his own survival and enjoyment. Thinking of rescue and revenge.
I have to say that Zhao Gou is actually a character.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gou had knowledge but no ambition, talent but no virtue, and he had no ambition to be an emperor for eternity.
The Zhao and Song dynasties were a turning point in China's national destiny.
The Zhao and Song dynasties ushered in the era of cynicism in China.
Cynics are much scarier than slavish people.
In addition to being more servile, cynics also have ferocious animal nature.
Starting from the Zhao and Song dynasties, feudalism and superstition became prevalent in China.
The governance logic of China's feudal and legal system established by the Qin Dynasty was completely overturned.
Destroying the foundation of the rule of law will naturally lift moral constraints.
Superstition, intrigue and strength determine everything and become the aesthetic standards of an era.
Because of this, the whole country knew that Qin Hui was a spy, but he could still be the prime minister.
Find out the reason.
Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, was originally a nobleman, and his political power was obtained with the support of the nobles.
The basis of their rule relies on the nobility and large landowners, and they must ensure the interests of the aristocracy and large landowners.
This determined the Zhao and Song Dynasty's policy of governing the country, which was a balancing strategy.
The key point is to compromise externally and suppress internally.
Balance and trade-offs.
Where to leave? Where to take it?
This is a big problem!
When class contradictions overwhelm national contradictions, the trade-off becomes incredible.
The policy orientation of the Zhao and Song Dynasties was very clear.
Let the yeoman middle class go bankrupt and become manor slaves.
Let the big landowners annex and become manor slave owners.
In order to suppress the rebellion of the manor slaves, they did not hesitate to resort to foreign reactionary forces.
Don't think that a big landowner has a bad name.
They are all famous.
Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Qin Hui, etc., etc.
In other words, the conservatives in the Zhao and Song dynasties were actually big landowners, and they also represented the interests of big landowners.
Fan Zhongyan's reforms and Wang Anshi's reforms were all for the peasants, so they must fail.
When Yue Fei wanted to make the Northern Expedition, he could only do land reform, which meant allocating land to soldiers, refugees, and refugees, and he equalized the land.
After the land reform, the Yue family army became very effective, with abundant troops and strong combat effectiveness.
In other words, this is equivalent to the third Agrarian Revolutionary War.
This was the third land reform initiated by Yue Fei.
This shook the foundation of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Qin Hui has two thousand acres of fertile land in Hangzhou.
Every official of the Zhao Song Dynasty had good farmland.
Not all officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty wanted to kill Yue Fei.
Because you, Yue Fei, had completed the land reform in the north, what should the Zhao Song Dynasty do?
The old part must also be changed.
So Yue Fei had to be killed.
To put it bluntly, they were all "balanced" by the powerful people of the Zhao Song Dynasty!
Yue Fei violated two taboos of Zhao Gou:
First, if he won the hearts of the people and was so powerful that he shocked the emperor, he might be crowned emperor in the future. After all, Zhao Kuangyin became emperor in this way.
Second, the land reform in the north was very likely to form a new equal-field system, which made the nobles and landlords panic all day long.
Zhao Gou wanted to kill Yue Fei.
Many ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty also wanted to kill Yue Fei.
The reason for the common hatred between the monarch and his ministers was of course "false accusation".
The word "false accusation" actually revealed the political connotation of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
What is false accusation?
First, killing Yue Fei was a consensus in the court, so the reason was "false".
Second, the reason for killing Yue Fei was difficult to talk about, so the reason was "false".
Third, killing Yue Fei did not require judicial procedures, so the reason was "false".
The powerful and wealthy people in the Zhao Song Dynasty wanted to kill Yue Fei, and there was no need to discuss this matter anymore. It was a consensus, and false is a consensus.
The law in Jiang Hongfei's previous life advocated the presumption of innocence.
Yue Fei should have been innocent, but Zhao Gou and his ministers killed the meritorious minister Yue Fei unjustly, which was a pity.
There is no need to say more about Zhao Gou's stupidity and the evil deeds of Qin Hui and other treacherous ministers.
In history, Yue Fei was born at the wrong time, and he met Zhao Gou, who had no ambitions, and the stubborn forces headed by Qin Hui, which made him die with hatred.
Zhao Gou also lost the only opportunity to solve the biggest problem of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the land problem, because of killing Yue Fei, which left a huge hidden danger for the Southern Song Dynasty and completely ruined the Zhao Song Dynasty.
In this world, Yue Fei met Jiang Hongfei.
Yue Fei didn't need to carry out land reform.
Since Jiang Hongfei established the Liangshan Marsh regime, his goal was very clear, to overthrow the Zhao Song Dynasty, overthrow those high officials, wealthy families, and gentry families, and completely eliminate all reactionary forces that dared to prevent him from establishing a brand new Yuan Empire.
Along the way, Jiang Hongfei killed all the stubborn forces of the Zhao Song Dynasty without leaving a single piece of armor, and all of them were seriously injured. They had to beg for mercy from Jiang Hongfei and rely on Jiang Hongfei's breath to survive.
As for the land reform that Yue Fei wanted to carry out in history, Jiang Hongfei had already helped him build it.
Now, Jiang Hongfei has cleared all the roads that hindered Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, and he can concentrate on making gold.
And Jiang Hongfei's admiration for Yue Fei is not only due to personal feelings, but also because Yue Fei is an outstanding commander, brave and unmatched among the three armies.
Although there were many famous generals in the Song Dynasty, such as Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, none of them could match Yue Fei's courage and determination in overcoming difficulties.
Therefore, among the many generals under Jiang Hongfei's command, Jiang Hongfei still valued Yue Fei the most.
Jiang Hongfei even said to his subordinates without hesitation: "Yue Fei is my Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Sooner or later, he will be able to sweep the grassland for me."
When Yue Fei heard this, he was not only grateful, but also excited about his unfulfilled ambitions.
He knew that meeting Jiang Hongfei in this life was a blessing of fate and the times.
Although the road to the Northern Expedition was long and difficult, with Jiang Hongfei as his backing, Yue Fei vowed to break through the Helan Mountain Pass and attack Huanglong Mansion directly!
So, after Jiang Hongfei transferred Yue Fei to Jinzhou, Yue Fei reorganized his troops, prepared for battle, and was always ready to swear to march north.
But Yue Fei had been preparing in Jinzhou for several years, and Jiang Hongfei had never made any movement.
Not only that, Jiang Hongfei also carried out reforms in the country and vigorously developed people's livelihood, which seemed to mean that he wanted to let his horse go to the south mountain.
Moreover, Yue Fei heard that Jiang Hongfei would play with his concubines in his harem whenever he had time, and never talked about his views on the two great enemies, Jin and Xia.
Yue Fei was anxious and quietly gave Jiang Hongfei a "Ping Jin Strategy".
In Yue Fei's "Ping Jin Strategy", he deeply analyzed the safety and danger of the Yuan Empire with his unique strategic vision.
Yue Fei made it clear that although the Yuan Empire had completed the great unification, it had not yet achieved real security. Only by completely eliminating the threat of the Jin Kingdom, going deep into the grasslands, and conquering Mobei could the country's long-term stability be ensured.
Among them, Yue Fei particularly emphasized that the Northeast, with Liaodong as the core, was the lifeline of the Yuan Empire and was related to its survival.
When Jiang Hongfei studied history, especially the process of Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty from working hard to govern the country to finally hanging himself tragically, he deeply realized the accuracy and far-reachingness of Yue Fei's foresight.
Although the Ming Dynasty unified the Central Plains with a miraculous northern expedition, it faced unprecedented challenges at the beginning of its founding.
At that time, the national economy of the Ming Dynasty was in decline due to war and famine, and national defense was in crisis.
Although the Mongols lost Dadu, retreated to the grassland, and changed their name to "Northern Yuan", their power could not be underestimated.
Especially in the Battle of Lingbei in the fifth year of Hongwu, the Northern Yuan Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides then launched a military confrontation for decades with the Great Wall as the boundary.
In this confrontation, the Ming Dynasty had to face a grim reality: the vast Mobei, Northeast China and even Yunnan in the southwest, these former Yuan Dynasty territories, were still firmly in the hands of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Its military strength was so strong that according to Gu Yingtai, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, there were no less than one million archers.
Under the clouds of war, the situation in the Northeast was particularly serious and became a serious concern for the Ming Dynasty.
Looking back at today's Yuan Empire, the situation it faces is very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty back then.
Although the Jin Kingdom may not be able to assemble millions of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of elites and the support of various grassland ministries are enough to pose a huge threat.
What's even more serious is that the Jin Kingdom also united with the Xixia and grassland tribes, making the enemies of the Yuan Empire no weaker than the Northern Yuan in history.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, can the Yuan Empire find a path of peaceful coexistence and common development with it?
The answer is obviously no.
The nomadic people's way of survival is to invade the farming people. This is their unchangeable nature.
China's long history has proven countless times that this reality is eternal.
In "Ping Jin Ce", Yue Fei not only predicted the future difficulties of the Yuan Empire, but also warned Jiang Hongfei with a strong sense of mission not to be complacent and slack due to the barrier of Yanyun Sixteen States.
Yue Fei knows very well that everyone can be lax at times, and only by staying vigilant at all times can we resist the intrusion of foreign enemies.
Yue Fei emphasized that threats to the Jin Kingdom and the grassland tribes must be regarded as the biggest enemy of the Yuan Empire, and should not be underestimated or ignored in the slightest.
Only in this way can the Great Yuan Empire stabilize its foundation and achieve true long-term peace and stability in this turbulent era.
In fact, there is no need for Yue Fei to tell Jiang Hongfei this, Jiang Hongfei also knows this very well.
From the Xiongnu, to the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and then to the Turks, until today's Khitan, Jurchen, and grassland tribes, they have only become names, but they have not changed, but it is their nature to invade the farming people.
It can be said that as long as these barbarians are not frightened and subdued, they will continue to seek opportunities to invade the south, and there will be no end.
Jiang Hongfei knew that his beloved general was in a hurry, fearing that his words would not count and that he would not conquer the Kingdom of Jin and prevent him from sweeping the grassland and making achievements.
Jiang Hongfei didn't talk nonsense. He wrote a secret order directly to Yue Fei. There were only a dozen words in it: "Be calm and don't be impatient. The time will come soon. Speed up preparations and don't make any noise."
Yue Fei was overjoyed after receiving Jiang Hongfei's secret order!
You have no joke.
What's more, everyone who knows Jiang Hongfei knows very well that Jiang Hongfei will never joke about important matters.
Therefore, since Jiang Hongfei said that the time to cut down the gold is coming, that is, the cut down is about to begin.
To be honest, among the generals of the Yuan Empire, Yue Fei did not have many military exploits.
But even so, Jiang Hongfei still put Yue Fei's name on the list of Tiangang Disha heroes, and his name was very high.
Many people criticized this, feeling that Yue Feigong was not worthy of his position. They believed that he only obtained this high position because of Jiang Hongfei's favor, and even believed that he was not qualified to take charge of the crucial Jinzhou Military Region.
Therefore, Yue Fei has been holding back his energy. He wants the world to see whether he, Yue Fei, has wasted his fame. Is he qualified to enter the Tiangang Ranking and is he qualified to take charge of the Jinzhou Military Region? !
Now, the opportunity Yue Fei wanted was finally coming.
Yue Fei is gearing up and preparing for a big fight...
