Chapter 106: As long as the Song Dynasty is destroyed, the Jingkang Shame can be avoided! "You are truly shameless." Li Qiushui looked at Murong Fu and commented, "But you are so thick-skinned, you are indeed the material for rebellion."Murong Fu said seriously: "I said I am not rebelling, I am doing this to save the people of the world." Li Qiushui said: "The people of the world are doing well, why do they need your help?" Murong Fu said confidently: "I am actually good at observing national destiny. According to my calculations, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty only has 30 years left. After 30 years, the Song Dynasty will perish, and the Jurchens in the north will break through Bianliang." "The two emperors of the Zhao family were captured by the Jurchens and subjected to the ritual of leading a sheep. The concubines in the harem and the noble ladies of the royal family were all given to the Jurchens and became camp prostitutes and playthings of the Jurchen nobles." "This humiliation is what the Zhao family deserves, it's not a pity. What's really a pity is that they are so stupid and incompetent that they led to the destruction of the country and the fall of the country, which brought suffering to the common people and the people of the world." "The Zhao family deserved to die, but what about the common people? In order to avoid such a national humiliation, we must first destroy the Song Dynasty!" If Murong Fu were to rebel in other dynasties, he would still hesitate, wondering if he might be going too far by stirring up unrest. But in the Song Dynasty, Murong Fu feels particularly at ease. The Jingkang Shame was so humiliating. In order to avoid the Jingkang Shame, Murong Fu had no choice but to destroy the Song Dynasty first. Without the Song Dynasty, there would be no bastards like Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, and naturally there would be no Jingkang Shame.
Moreover, if the Song Dynasty was gone, Wanyan Gou would also be gone, and Yue Fei, who was loyal to his country, would not have died in vain in Fengbo Pavilion. Murong Fu would definitely make good use of Yue Fei, allowing such a soldier to truly protect the country and the people, expand the territory, and create living space for the descendants of Yan and Huang, instead of destroying the Great Wall in ridiculous internal strife. Murong Fu has at least one advantage, which is that he has a long-term vision, a big picture, and does not like to engage in infighting. Instead of internal fighting, it is better to make the real barbarians, such as the Japanese, suffer. They use their hard work to move forward in exchange for a peaceful life for the Chinese people. Therefore, Murong Fu felt that replacing Zhao as emperor would benefit the country and the people and was a historical progress. Unfortunately, since ancient times, no one believes the truth, only routines can win people's hearts. Li Qiushui said: "Really? I don't believe it. Tell the truth!" Murong Fu said: "The truth is that the Song Dynasty exploited the people more than any other dynasty before it. Even Wang Anshi wrote a poem to commemorate the Zhenguan era, criticizing the Song Dynasty for exploiting the people and sending money to foreign countries." "Jiangnan is the source of Song's wealth, but the people of Jiangnan are burdened with heavy burdens, and the court has too many redundant officials. Various transport envoys are set up to plunder the people's wealth and transport it to Tokyo, using one country to support one city." "As a result, the common people had to drown their babies, which became a common practice and was called 'not raising children'. When Dongpo Jushi was exiled to Huangzhou, he said, 'The poor people in Huangzhou often do not raise their children, and kill them by immersing them in basins of water at birth'." "We were forced to this point because the Song Dynasty not only concentrated all the heavy taxes from previous dynasties, but also imposed a personal tax on the southeast that was three times the summer tax. As a result, the people were living in misery and complained." "I was born in Jiangnan. Seeing the common people suffer, I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to rise up, plead for the people, and establish a peaceful world." This time, Murong Fu still told the truth. The reason why Fang La's uprising was so powerful and attracted so many followers was that the Song Dynasty court was too keen on making the people suffer, and the Flower and Stone Gang was the last straw that broke the camel's back. But even without the Hua Shi Gang, the people of the Song Dynasty were not as wealthy as some scholars boasted. The reason why the imperial court was rich was that it surpassed most of the warlords of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in terms of exploiting people. The imperial court collected the money but used it to support redundant soldiers and officials, to pay annual tribute to the Liao Kingdom, and to fight against the Western Xia, where all the money was lost. But the truth is always hard to be believed. Li Qiushui still didn't believe it and said, "Tell the truth!" Murong Fu felt emotional, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? Sister Qiushui still didn't understand his grand ambitions! But considering that Li Qiushui was once a love-brained fairy, it was not easy for her to transform into a mediocre politician. It would be too difficult to expect Li Qiushui to understand the romance of men and the ambition to change the world. In this case, Murong Fu had no choice but to say: "In fact, I am ambitious and want to pursue power and become a king above all others."
"That's the truth!" Li Qiushui said with a smile, "You want to replace the Song Dynasty, and I also want to destroy the Zhao family's country. We hit it off immediately. What do you plan to do?" Murong Fu directly copied Fang La's outline and said: "There is a Ming Cult in Jiangnan that has been secretly recruiting followers. There are already hundreds of thousands of people. I plan to join the Ming Cult and become its leader. I will use religious ideas to control the followers, attract poor and unemployed young people to join, and support them." "When the court officials do something that angers the people, I will raise my arms and call for help. At that time, many followers will gather. I have seen clearly that the wing troops in the south of the Yangtze River are vulnerable. I can easily occupy the southeast." "The southeast is the source of revenue for the Song Dynasty. If I occupy Hangzhou and dominate the southeast, the Song Dynasty will have no money to spend. The court can only exploit the north more. The people in the north will be dissatisfied, and the Song Dynasty will become even more unstable." "The Song Dynasty only has the Imperial Guards available, but it takes a year to assemble them. During this year, I will reduce taxes and levies to win over the people, train the troops and prepare for defense, first stabilize the southeast, and then slowly march north." "If Xixia can help me contain the Western Army, then the Song Dynasty will truly be in danger of extinction, and its demise is imminent. Xixia will also be able to get rid of the threat from the Song Dynasty, and maybe even expand its territory and achieve great achievements that Li Yuanhao has never accomplished." Li Qiushui's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Yes, yes, you are indeed strategic, and this plan is very feasible. I will fully support you! However, after all, my son is the emperor, and you have to discuss the specific terms with my son." "Western Xia is facing threats from the Song Dynasty and is under tremendous pressure. If I rebel in the Song Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to Western Xia. I believe that my uncle must be a man who can distinguish right from wrong, and I hope that grandma can help introduce him to me." Murong Fu said. The current situation of Western Xia is actually not optimistic. The Song Dynasty is too powerful, and once the current Song Dynasty emperor Zhao Xu takes power, the Song-Xia war may start again. This is the current social consensus in Western Xia. If it could weaken the Song Dynasty, or even gain benefits from destroying the Song Dynasty, Xixia would naturally give its strong support. "I'll help you make some connections in a couple of days." Li Qiushui said, "You're the head of my Xiaoyao Sect, and you're also my grandson's son-in-law. For Yuyan's sake, I'll give you some benefits!" "I will give you one million copper coins, two hundred thousand taels of gold, and fifty thousand pieces of silk. I will also give you three hundred iron kites!" Murong Fu was shocked that his grandmother was even more generous in supporting him than in giving out benefits. Not to mention the money, just the three hundred Iron Harriers is astonishing. The Iron Harriers were an elite heavy cavalry unit established by Li Yuanhao. The entire Western Xia had a force of only 3,000 men, divided into ten teams, with each team having 300 men. Li Qiushui directly sent a team of Iron Harriers to Murong Fu, which instantly allowed Murong Fu's starting capital to surpass that of Nurhaci in later generations. "Grandma, you are so nice!" Murong Fu smiled happily. Li Qiushui joked: "But you have to accept a son from my team of Iron Harriers, and I will give you a son!" Murong Fu was surprised and said: "Grandma, you want to give me a son? This is against human ethics!" Li Qiushui spat, "I am an old woman, why should I give birth to a son? You have a dirty mind and you are taking advantage of me." Murong Fu thought to himself: It seems like you are taking advantage of me? Li Qiushui continued: "The captain of the Iron Harriers I am sending you is named Tuoba Fei, a 17-year-old boy. Tuoba Fei was originally a member of the imperial family, born brave and fierce in battle, but later he offended the King of Jin, Richard, and he could not even use the surname Li, so he had to restore his original surname Tuoba. If you can adopt him as your adopted son and help him solve the troubles brought by the King of Jin, you can win the hearts of the Iron Harriers." (End of this chapter)
