"This dynasty establishes a country with benevolence, and the Jin Dynasty establishes a country with violence. Your Majesty is kind and loving the people, but the Jin people have done many acts of repressing the people. This is the fundamental difference between the people's support and the people's support. Therefore, even though the war has been tragic, the country is generally peaceful and the territory is full of peace, while there are thieves in Shandong and Hebei. The Jin court has no power to control. The difference between the middle is the difference between benevolence and violence. As long as the country can be politically clear and benevolent, then it will have a fundamental support to resist the Tatar army."

"The Jin border guards rely on Yanyun's dangerous stance and defended the Great Wall. But they themselves were barbarians invading China, and most of the soldiers guarding the border guards were barbarians. The fortresses were neither built nor renovated. Once Genghis Khan led the Tatar army to invade, the Wang Gu tribe who was guarding the border for the Jin country first turned against each other. Then Yehuling was against the Barbarian tribe and mutiny. The 300,000 troops were gone in one battle. The remnants had no support and no fighting spirit, so the Tatar cavalry could go deep into a flat land and could not be copied. However, this dynasty was different. The country's border guards were supported by the river and the navy were blocked, and each border guard on the frontier was used as a vassal screen. Once the enemy went south, they had to face the Rong soldiers who were waiting for the battle. After defeating the Rong soldiers, they would be blocked by the Yangtze River. If they wanted to cross the river by boat, they would be attacked by the navy on our river, so the situation of the frontier was very different from that of the Jin country."

"Mongolia started from the grassland, lived a life of building a hut and grazing grass. There was no way to attack cities. In the past twenty years, I have had a lot of experience in attacking cities in the north and cities of Western countries. However, I still felt a headache in attacking Caizhou recently, and was killed by the official army and captured the gate and attacked first. It can be seen that the Tatars had not yet found the essence of the method of siege. The country and the Jin people have been fighting for many years, and they have long figured out a complete set of ways to defend the city. When the enemy comes, as long as the guards have the courage, the guards have the courage, and have done a complete defense work in advance, the Tatars' attacks have little effect on the strong city, and the imperial court can use the opportunity of the enemy to siege cities to organize various actions, which is very convenient. These three are different."

"Since Genghis Khan's death, Mongolians divided their sects and their army was stationed in the occupied territories. However, I have recently heard that the residents of these territories were unable to resist and rebel. I have predicted that the Mongolian troops in the original grassland would go to suppress the enemy soon. Then most of the main forces used to attack our country should be the Han army adapted from the powerful forces in Hebei and Shandong, but Shi Tianze, Zhang Lin, Li Tan, Zhang Rou, Liu Heima and other departments. Most of them have bandits and soldiers who were oppressed by Mongolia and forced to surrender. As long as the court focuses on doing the work of these people, lure them for profit and telling them to righteousness, as long as some of them can turn against each other, the situation will be very beneficial to me. These four are different."

"Mongolia relies on horsepower, and Privetti was also a barbarian who started with archery and horses. However, they had enjoyed wealth for a long time and had lost their courage. Therefore, when Mongolia came, the Jin people could not resist with iron cavalry. Instead, they rely on infantry formed by Han people from all over the country. With their own shortcomings and fighting against Mongolia's strengths, how can they not be defeated? Because of the lack of war horses, we are proficient in fighting between mountains and rivers. We know our weaknesses and will not easily choose to fight on flat terrain and know the enemy.

The weakness of people is that they can guard the dangerous points that expose their weaknesses, so that they can use our strengths to curb Mongolia's shortcomings. This is the fifth difference. There are no invincible military and horses in the world, only invincible wisdom in the world. As long as your Majesty has the belief of firmly resisting the enemy and not fearing arbitrary power, the ministers have the determination to serve the country with loyalty and integrity for the people, choose a general idea and plan carefully, even the Tatars who destroyed countless countries will definitely not have the courage to face the southeast."

These words blurted out from a 20-year-old young man, which surprised the ministers in the hall. Don’t say that it is such a young man who has no official position yet, except for the proofreader editor of Enfeng, who has no political experience at all. Even the famous ministers such as Zhendexiu, Zheng Qingzhi, and Shi Songzhi, who have been in charge of state affairs for many years, suddenly could not put forward such a grand and detailed view. Many people now decided that this was the result of Zheng Qingzhi’s guidance on Zheng Yunming behind the scenes, and the purpose was to make up for the impression that the emperor was not in military affairs because of his defeat in Luo River and to restore his position in the court.

Little did he know that Zheng Qingzhi was sweating coldly at this time. Even Zheng Yunming's views were not so detailed. It was completely difficult to tell whether it was right or wrong. If any mistake angered the emperor, all his efforts to worship the emperor would be wasted.

Fortunately, the emperor just listened with relish, and finally laughed loudly and said happily: "Your words are very consistent with my wishes. This is the heaven that your family gave me the Song Dynasty. I wish..." The emperor paused, glanced at the Minister of Personnel Hong Zikui under his seat, and said: "I wish you are the editor of the Hanlin Academy and equipped with a goldfish bag. You can go in and out of the inner court and explain the meaning of the scriptures to me..."

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be done." The next day, who stood up to refute, was indeed the Minister of Personnel Hong Zikui. Mr. Hong was angry because he opposed Duanping Renluo and the emperor, and was resigning from office. He stood up and played the role of the white face to the end: "I once knew that Zheng Yunming was a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination in this subject. The Ministry of Personnel had arranged an official position. If he had no official position at this time, His Majesty could promote him from the Hanlin Academy. But now that the official position has been settled, he will issue an official certificate soon and leave the capital to take office. Then Your Majesty interferes with it again, which may be suspected of disrupting the official system."

"Is he a bachelor's Jinshi?" The emperor nodded with satisfaction. As the lord of the world, what he feared most was that he was criticized for being a wise man. But to be honest, even he couldn't remember whether such an outstanding young man was present during the palace examination. After slowing down, the emperor asked again: "Isn't it better to be able to serve as a local position, but only a talent of a hundred miles away. If you are with me, you can use it at any time to be useful?"

Hong Zikui was speechless. He was suppressed by Shi Miyuan and demoted to a foreign official. After Zheng Qing was in charge of the government, he recalled him back to the capital. However, Duanping used troops and strongly opposed it because he saw that the Southern Song Dynasty could not support this action of stealing chickens. In theory, this was already considered a kindness to repay the hatred, but he had to do his best for the sake of the country. This was just an extra kindness from the emperor to his son. Should he also say something to stop this little matter?

While hesitating, he suddenly heard Zheng Yunming say loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the local area to serve as an official after the Ministry of Personnel has made arrangements. I am ashamed of your wishes."

The officials were talking again, and refusing to give official positions in front of the sage. This was not ordinary courage. If the emperor was angry and asked you about a crime of resisting the imperial edict, wouldn’t it be that he would fail to seek fame and suffer a great loss?

Sure enough, the emperor frowned and his tone became a little more serious: "Do you think the official position I gave was too small?"

Zheng Yunming knelt off his seat and said, "No, I think it's better not to be too close to His Majesty with my own experience and knowledge."

He was originally humble and low-key, but the emperor's misunderstanding was deeper: "The Qing family regards me as the leader of Jie and Zhou, so even if he is an official, he still hopes to stay away from me?"

When Zheng Yunming heard that the emperor had completely misled his meaning, he couldn't help but panic and said, "I am not this. Your Majesty treats me as a national scholar, and his sincere heart is known to us. But I think I can be qualified to be a national scholar? I have heard that the world consists of three aspects: the emperor, the literati and the people. If you want to stabilize the world, you cannot be neglected in any aspect. I was originally an official, and my father and son were both grateful to Your Majesty, so I was naturally much closer to Your Majesty than to ordinary people. I studied under the great scholars of today and had a little bit of virtue and character for the literati.

What I know is the understanding of the world and the countryside. Those around Your Majesty cannot learn these things. You must go to the county and township, whether you are a county magistrate, a county magistrate, or a county magistrate, and a county magistrate, and truly get along with the farmers, fishermen, and old gentry, and understand their sufferings, understand their voices, and see the shortcomings of the officials' governance below. In this way, when you assist Your Majesty in the future, you can truly understand the feelings of the people, communicate with the people from above, and do the affairs of the country's sages, and help Your Majesty achieve the great cause of Yao and Shun. Please do not stop this thought."

When the emperor heard this joint, he turned anger into joy and said with a smile: "It is rare that the Qing family is so young and has such a mature and persistent idea. It's very good. Let's go to the place to do things. But after a few years, I will personally examine your political achievements. If you have any negligence, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zheng Yunming responded and was about to step back, but he seemed to be reluctant to speak.

The emperor asked, "What else is there for your family?"

Zheng Yunming thought that the opportunity to say something to the emperor may not be available for five or six years, and he must make some things. However, he cannot say it directly: "I often hear my father's words. Local employment relations are complicated, and there are often constraints on local officials who have just arrived. I do not intend to waste too much time in these aspects, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to help a little."

How could the emperor not understand the joints. After thinking about it, he untied his jade belt from his waist: "This jade belt is given to the Qing family, and local officials, seeing this jade belt is as if I saw my order, and I would give Zheng Qing family various conveniences to work and do not make any mistakes." But the emperor changed his tone: "If the Qing family uses it in a wrong way, I will immediately submit it to the Ministry of Justice for the crime."

"I dare not, I should repay Your Majesty with great kindness, and...."

"What else is required, let's talk about it together."

Dissatisfied discussions immediately spread among the ministers. Those who made many requests when they met the saint for the first time were nothing more than being arrogant because of favor. Zheng Yunming seemed to be not a righteous gentleman, but just a villain who could catch up with a dragon and a phoenix.

"I dare not have any other requirements. I just want to report to Your Majesty that there are less than 30,000 soldiers in Shukou. I heard that the Mongolian Khan lord Ogedei had ordered the third prince Kuoduan to lead an army of 100,000 to enter southern Shaanxi. Most Tatars were proficient in military tactics, but they were afraid that they could follow the example of the Wei and Jin Dynasties that destroyed Western Shu first and then took Eastern Wu. We must be careful. If we are unfortunately captured by Shukou, there will be plains in Chengdu. We will be responsible for the Sichuan general's construction of fortresses before the east and south of Sichuan, and retreating to the people on the flat terrain of Chengdu, and make preparations early.

"Zheng Yunming, based on his memories of his previous life, remembered that not long after the Song-Mongol War began, the Mongolian Western Route Army, which attacked Sichuan with all its might, destroyed the Song Dynasty's defensive troops at Shukou, and went around in Tang'aoli in Western Shu, killing millions of officials, gentry and people, making the Sichuan area, which was full of flowers since the end of the Tang Dynasty, a Shura killing field with corpses everywhere. If these words could be used to remind the emperor to prepare early and save some people, it would be nothing even if he was criticized.
