Chapter 256 Arguing
"This may be because of the disunity within the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhang Qingfeng said casually.
He didn't want to discuss this issue with Lu You anymore. Before Lu You could speak, he changed the subject and asked, "Sir, do you know where Xin Qiji and Master Xin are working now?"
"You'an should look right at Wuyi Mountain now." Lu You replied.
Without waiting for Zhang Qingfeng to speak, he continued to ask: "You said that the Great Song Dynasty is not united, why do you say that?"
"Is my Song Dynasty united?" Zhang Qingfeng asked without answering.
"This..." Lu You couldn't answer Zhang Qingfeng's question.
Is Da Song united?Obviously, there is disunity, and the struggle among officials in the court is very serious.
Historically, after Han Yuzhou came to power, he tried his best to suppress the capitulation officials, which made the capitulation officials want to kill him.Therefore, when Han Tuozhou made the Northern Expedition, the capitulators behind him would try their best to hold him back.
"Even if they are not very united, Han Jiefu is now the prime minister, and he wants the Northern Expedition wholeheartedly. According to our observation, the Jin people are very unstable now. I believe that as long as we prepare properly, the Northern Expedition will definitely be successful." Lu Youchao Zhang Qingfeng explain.
"Sir, what I just said is just my personal opinion. Everyone has their own opinion. You think the Northern Expedition will definitely be successful, others may think it will not be successful. Whether it can succeed or not depends on actual actions. Maybe Whether it can be done or not, this is something that the court must consider, not something I can consider." Zhang Qingfeng explained to Lu You.
He regretted not answering according to Lu You's idea, which caused such a show.
"Well, you think the Northern Expedition can't be successful, but I think the Northern Expedition will definitely be successful. Today, let's talk about this topic. Let's see how much ink you have." Lu You said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"It's not necessary, sir? I'm just talking casually."
Zhang Qingfeng wanted to slap himself two big mouths, say something bad, and had to sing against Mr. Lu You.
Who doesn't know that the old man dedicated himself to the Northern Expedition to regain the country and died, so wouldn't it be scolding to contradict him?
"It's very necessary. I'm getting old, and I may be a bit biased when looking at some issues. It's just a chance to hear different opinions from your young people." Lu You said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"This……"
"What's wrong with this? Tell me about it. Do you think the Northern Expedition can't be successful? Apart from disunity, what else is there?" Lu You said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Since you insist on telling the boy, then the boy will say it, but if you say something bad, you can't be angry." Zhang Qingfeng said to Lu You.
"I'm not angry, just tell me." Lu You said to Zhang Qingfeng.
Hearing Lu You's words, Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while before saying, "The reason why I think the Great Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition could not succeed is mainly due to several reasons."
"One: The geographic location of my Great Song Dynasty, and the shortcomings of the arms."
Zhang Qingfeng said: "My Great Song Dynasty lives in a place with dense water networks in the south. Compared with the Jin soldiers, my Great Song soldiers are good at water warfare but not good at field warfare."
"The terrain in the north is flat and suitable for cavalry combat, but our Great Song Dynasty has insufficient cavalry. Even if the Jin soldiers are defeated, it will be difficult for our Great Song army to wipe out the vital forces of the Jin soldiers. It can wipe out all my Song soldiers."
"In addition, our soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south. If they go to the north, their combat effectiveness will definitely decrease because they are not adapted to the climate. Under the circumstances of one ebb and flow, our army's combat effectiveness will definitely not be comparable to that of the Jin soldiers. .” Zhang Qingfeng said.
"What about the second?" Seeing Zhang Qingfeng finished speaking, Lu You asked him.
"Second: In the Song Dynasty, the poor are tired of the war, and the rich are against the war. Only a few people like you, sir, want to regain the country."
After a pause, Zhang Qingfeng said: "Let me first say that the poor are war-weary. As far as I have observed, the distribution of wealth among the people in Song Dynasty is extremely uneven. Maybe not as much as a meal for the rich."
"And most of our soldiers in the Song Dynasty come from poor families. Under such circumstances, why should they fight for the imperial court to regain the country? What benefit does regaining the country have for them? They are soldiers just to have enough to eat. They are not stupid if they fight against the Jin people for a meal..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Qingfeng saw that Lu You's expression was very bad, so he stopped speaking resentfully.
"Go ahead and talk about why the rich are against the war." Seeing Zhang Qingfeng stop, Lu You said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Well, I'll talk about why the rich are against the war."
Zhang Qingfeng said: "The reason why the rich oppose the war is very simple, because they have a lot of wealth, so they don't want the war to wipe out their wealth."
"How can war destroy the wealth of the rich? It's ridiculous." Lu You said in a disdainful tone.
Hearing Lu You's words, Zhang Qingfeng did not argue with him, but continued: "Sir, people of insight know that the Song Dynasty cannot defeat the Kingdom of Jin, and the reason why the rich are afraid of the Kingdom of Jin coming is because of When people fight over, their wealth will be plundered."
Zhang Qingfeng said: "Many people's thoughts are, since the imperial court can live a peaceful life in Jiangnan by spending money on annual tribute, why do they go to war and cause people to die? Isn't it good to live a stable life?"
"There are only a few people like you and Mr. Xin who really want to regain the country. But your numbers are too small. Even if you gain the upper hand and force the Northern Expedition, you will end up with a disastrous defeat in the end."
Bang!
"Nonsense." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Lu You slapped the table angrily, and Zhang Qingfeng shrank his neck violently in fright.
"Sir, you promise not to be angry. What I said is my point of view. If you think what I said is wrong, you can also refute me with your own point of view." Zhang Qingfeng said to Lu You quickly.
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Lu You also knew that he had gone too far.
After a while, he said to Zhang Qingfeng: "Is there any more, you continue to talk."
"I dare not say it anymore." Zhang Qingfeng said.
What he just said has already made Mr. Lu You angry. If he said anything more, he would not be able to get rid of the responsibility.
"If you tell me, just keep talking, I'm not so stingy as to trouble you." Lu You said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Well, then I said it."
Zhang Qingfeng paused for a moment, then continued: "Thirdly, as I said earlier, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not united. Some wanted the Northern Expedition, while others wanted to surrender. Those who made the Northern Expedition wanted to fight, but those who surrendered did not." Desperately holding back, because they know that as long as the front is defeated, they can pull down all the main battlers."
"Under such circumstances, all the people in my Great Song Dynasty can't be twisted together, how can we talk about success?"
"Also, even those who express their willingness to go to the Northern Expedition may not necessarily really want to fight. Sir, just watch. If Mr. Han really wants to go to the Northern Expedition, I guess there will be many people who support him. Some of them are opportunists who can’t be promoted at ordinary times, because they know that as long as they support the Northern Expedition, they can be reused by Han Xianggong and get promoted and make a fortune. As for the success of the Northern Expedition, they don’t care.”
"Moreover, these opportunists are usually people without much talent. Letting them preside over the Northern Expedition is like a joke, haha..."
When Zhang Qingfeng said this, he noticed that Lu You's face was so dark that it was the bottom of the pot, so he had no choice but to stop talking again.
"Any more?"
However, although Lu You's face was dark, he did not get angry at Zhang Qingfeng, but asked Zhang Qingfeng in a pleasant tone.
