"I'm not in a hurry. I'll talk about it when there's movement in the city."

Ruan Xiaoqi is much more shrewd than his second and fifth brothers.

Seemingly reckless, but actually meticulous.

Moreover, no matter how reckless a person is, after a few years of military service, he will have to go to the Military Academy for further study every few months.

No matter what, there will be progress.

Zhu Wu's arrangement was also explained in detail to the three brothers.

This time, it is not necessary to really attack the city.

Hasteful beheading is not a good thing.

Just like the Jin people's surprise attack on Kaifeng.

The Western Army is still strong, and they have to guard against Hedong and Shaanxi.

Jiangnan is still there, Liangzhe is still there, Huguang, and Sichuan are still there.

With their military strength, they simply cannot control such a large territory in a short time.

At this time, traitors and traitor armies are extremely important.

The main reason why the Jin people failed to achieve their full success was that there were very few traitors and surrendered Song troops.

The most famous representative of the surrendered Song army was Li Cheng.

And some Han army leaders of the Liao Kingdom in the north.

The number of people was small and the combat effectiveness was poor.

The number of civil servants who surrendered was even smaller.

Only a few civil servants such as Zhang Bangchang surrendered.

Zhang Bangchang was constantly ridiculed, mocked, and persuaded by his former colleagues.

No one took his pseudo-emperor status seriously.

The puppet emperor and puppet state 003 that were forced to support were useless. The Jin people were disappointed and abolished them later.

If, as in the late Ming Dynasty, Han scholars in Liaodong had Fan Wencheng surrender, and later, top civil servants like Hong Chengchou surrendered and served, and brought him into the pass, Hong Chengchou later went to Nanjing to preside over the overall situation. It can be said that Hong Chengchou was the first to pacify Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, and half of the southern half of the country. All other civil and military officials were tied together, but they did not play as big a role as Hong Chengchou.

In the Han dynasties of all dynasties, there was only one example in the late Ming Dynasty where a high-ranking official like Hong surrendered and played a huge role.

As for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered, there were countless of them. There were university scholars like Feng Quan, leaders of the literati like Qian Qianyi, and famous scholars who usually shouted and killed the so-called eunuch party and the evil. When the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, there were some who never served the country and were loyal to the country, but there were also many who surrendered.

There were even more Ming soldiers who surrendered, which were simply countless.

In the early Qing Dynasty, there were a total of more than 100,000 Manchus, Han troops, and Mongolian Eight Banners.

There were more than a million Ming troops who surrendered.

The main force that went south was the surrendered Ming troops.

It was Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's troops who massacred the city after conquering Jiangyin.

It was Li Chengdong's troops who massacred Jiading.

It was (accb) Jin Shengheng's troops who conquered Jiangxi and other places.

It was Li Chengdong's troops who conquered Guangzhou and massacred the city.

It was Wu Sangui's troops who fought all the way to Yunnan.

There were also Geng Zhongming's troops, Shang Kexi's troops, Jiang Xiang's troops, Tang Tong's troops...

Dozens of generals, consuming the Ming Dynasty's annual tens of millions of taels of silver and grain to supportThe army was defeated repeatedly by the peasant army and the Qing army.

After shaving their heads and changing clothes, and surrendering to the new barbarian masters, they were more loyal and brave than each other.

They served the new masters and fought to the death with anti-Qing forces such as Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Huangyan.

The former Dashi Army, the remnants of the Dashun Army, Zheng Chenggong, the son of a former pirate, and the Han righteous people who were unwilling to shave their heads and surrender, fought against these traitors one after another, but ultimately failed.

Not to mention the national justice, even from the basic ethics of the ancients to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were very few people with ethics.

There were very few people with national self-esteem.

There were even very few people who had the righteousness of a hero and dared to fight.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was even worse than the war-torn period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Emperor Taizong of Liao, Yelü Deguang, took control of Kaifeng, and the entire north rebelled in a short period of time.

There were righteous men attacking the Liao army everywhere, and warlords raising armies everywhere.

The entire north was on fire, and the Liao army was attacked everywhere, not only did they not gain any advantage, but also suffered heavy losses. (To read the novel, go to Fly Novel Network!)

In desperation, Yelü Deguang, who wanted to be the emperor of the Central Plains, had to withdraw his troops, and the child emperor who was re-established was quickly overthrown, and the Liao Kingdom's attempt to enter the Central Plains completely failed.

The subsequent Chanyuan Alliance seemed to be a tough move by the Song people to stop the Liao army from moving south.

In fact, the Liao Kingdom learned its lesson at that time and knew that it was impossible to do anything. It just wanted to put pressure on the Song people and extort them.

As a result, Song Zhenzong, a weakling, actually agreed to pay tribute in the favorable situation that the Liao army had an advantage in the war and was helpless, setting a very bad precedent for the two Song dynasties.

After that, the Song army suffered losses repeatedly at the hands of the Western Xia. In order to prevent the Western Xia from invading Hedong and Shaanxi, they had to pay tribute to the Western Xia again.

Don't think that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and silk are not a big problem for the rich Song Dynasty. In fact, it is not the case.

The annual tribute is equal to millions of strings of money a year.

Silk and silver were both rare at the time. The Song people had limited silver production, and silver was much more valuable than copper coins.

Silk was also expensive.

The annual tribute of millions of strings of money a year was more than one-tenth of the tens of millions of tax revenues of the Song court. Isn't this a heavy burden?

By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei and was determined to seek peace, which was not as good as the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song and Liao were at least brothers, but Zhao Gou was a vassal. In the history of China, Zhao Gou was the only legitimate emperor to pay tribute to foreigners.

The emperor of the Zhao family should be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

The Ruan brothers, Zhu Wu and others often listened to Wang Lun's comments on the emperor of the Zhao family. Except for Renzong, who was indeed gentle and kind, the rest of the emperors were not worth mentioning. Their character, ability and integrity could be said to be the worst. There was not even a middle-level monarch who could maintain the status quo.

Zhenzong still had the face to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods. It was a big joke. After beating him, the emperors would never be able to do that again.I won't go to Mount Tai. []

I can't afford to lose that person.

In the pre-Qin period, all countries had hegemons, and kings emerged one after another.

It goes without saying that Qin II died. Han had Emperor Gaozu first, Emperor Hui was actually not bad, and then Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, who created the first reign.

Although Emperor Wu of Han reduced the population of the world by half, his military achievements were indeed unprecedented.

After that, Emperor Xuan of Han was also extraordinary, not much inferior to Emperor Wu of Han.

After the Former Han Dynasty, there was Emperor Guangwu of Han. The Eastern Han Dynasty was similar to the Northern Song Dynasty, with too few outstanding emperors.

Then came the unified dynasty Tang Dynasty, first Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Emperor Taizong, then Emperor Xuanzong, and then Emperor Wenzong, Emperor Wuzong, Emperor Xianzong, and Emperor Xuanzong, all of whom were remarkable.

Even after the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty also had many outstanding emperors such as Emperor Chengzu, Emperor Renzong, Emperor Xuanzong, and Emperor Xiaozong.

Only the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty had no outstanding emperors.

Even the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty was just so-so, and was the last among all the dynasties.

He just bullied orphans and widows.

How can Zhao Da compare with Liu Xiu?

Even if the Eastern Han emperors after Liu Xiu were mediocre, the Eastern Han Dynasty was still much stronger than the two Song Dynasties.

At least the Western Regions were not lost during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Dou Xian also carved the Yanran Stone.

Fenglangjuxu and carving the Yanran Stone are two major achievements of the Han Dynasty, one in the Western Han Dynasty and the other in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which are monuments that cannot be surpassed by later generations.

How can the weak Song Dynasty compare?

Wang Lun often said these words. Zhu Wu and the Ruan brothers heard them a lot, and they had no respect for the Zhao family.

At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi squinted at the towering city wall, but in his heart he was guessing the reaction of the official Zhao Ji.

He was not in a hurry to take action.

Wait for the other party to react before speaking. .
