In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...
As for Zhe Keqiu, it’s better not to think about him!
In addition, looking back at the entire battle situation, Zhang Suo died and Han Shizhong was besieged, although there were reasons... For example, Zhang Suo was ambushed by the Jin army, there was also the sudden rebellion of Kong Yanzhou, and there was even the deeper reason that Jingdong had been swept by the Jin army last year; for example, Han Shizhong went to rescue Zong Ze, and Zong Ze's situation seemed to be more dangerous at that time. No one could say anything about that rescue, just as most people at this time agreed to rescue Han Shizhong.
However, in terms of results, they were two huge defeats and tragedies after all.
Sometimes Zhao Jiu couldn't help but wonder, if he had been a little more tense and careful during the period when the Jin army was delayed by the Hebei rebels, and had also asked Zhang Suo to be more careful, would the collapse of the two routes in Jingdong be avoided, and would Zhang Suo be able to survive?
If he had noticed Zong Ze's abnormal behavior earlier, or had established a more honest relationship with Zong Ze before the war, instead of treating him as a mere "backer", then the crisis of the Tokyo Liaison Office, including Han Shizhong's previous ambush, might have been avoided.
To be fair, for Zhao Jiu, the progress of the war so far is actually much better than the worst case scenario expected. Science and technology have not deceived him. In other words, even if the old Taoist is watching in the sky, there is still a basic law to abide by.
Therefore, the new artillery carriage based on the lever principle made great contributions.
However, the current situation is much worse than the best expected case scenario... Zong Ze's poor health has little to do with him, but Zhang Suo's death is hard for him to let go; Han Shizhong's siege makes him feel a strong contrast and surprise. He is determined not to accept that his own "scientific" efforts have caused such unexpected losses.
What's more, Han Shizhong himself is his greatest reliance since he came to this world. Although the two of them cannot be called friends, they are already rare acquaintances.
However, these are just reflections, which are common emotions and cannot be called "weird". In fact, at this moment, looking at the shadows of snowflakes falling outside the door, Zhao Jiu still has two final emotions in his heart, and it is these two emotions that make him become "weird".
One of them is a cliché but lingering thing...Zhao Jiu is still jealous of Yue Fei.
Although he has given the utmost support in action, the time traveler is still jealous of the son of the era whom he has never met.
As for the reason, Zhao Jiu had been thinking about it for so long that he could probably give an idea of it.
But overall, it was nothing more than the combination of being a time traveler and the emperor that gave rise to a strong desire in this young man... He wanted to replace Yue Fei and become the one who saved the world!
A normal Emperor Zhao would not have such a desire, and neither should a time traveler, but when they are combined together, it seems so natural.
It is difficult to characterize this desire. To put it in a vulgar way, it is called ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth, or even a bit politically incorrect. But if we must elevate it, we can also call it a sense of mission.
If you don't want to do something for this country and nation, how could you have such a desire?
How easy it would be to just lie down in Hangzhou, at most have one more sea adventure in between, and then wait a dozen years, until Yue Fei entered his golden age, and his Yue Family Army would have reached a hundred thousand men, with seventy to eighty thousand armored men. Then, by that time, twelve gold medals would be sent to the front line to urge the troops to join in the fun... How simple is that?
But if you can take the initiative to do something, why do you have to lie down?
If the war had ended a year earlier, how many people like Zhang Yongzhen would have saved their lives, and how many Zhang Yongzhen would have successfully returned home? Isn't it that Yue Fei's simple patriotism was formed by his attachment to his hometown? Wouldn't it be better to prevent Yue Fei from becoming a hero and let him retire and return to his hometown at the age of 30 as a pacification envoy?
If you can enjoy peace and be a wealthy person, why should you leave your homeland and live towards death?
In fact, the reason why this feeling of jealousy could not be shaken off again and again was that Zhao Jiu found this perverse logic for himself. According to this line of thought, the more he reflected on it, the more proud Zhao Jiu became... It seemed that this was an emotion worthy of pride.
However, this pride and the tremendous pressure brought by the current massive invasion of the Jin army brought Zhao Jiu another, and final, strange emotion - excessive reflection, coupled with the gap between ideals and self-explanation for the jealousy in his heart, made him begin to doubt his efforts again.
These days, Zhao Jiu sometimes thinks that compared to the person who gave him this body, he has done so many things - that person only knew how to run away, all the way to Yangzhou, then to the southeast, and then to the sea, but he, Zhao Jiu, defended the Huai River, so that the southeast and the two Huai regions at least did not decay; that person obviously abandoned the Central Plains and only knew how to enjoy himself in Yangzhou, but he, Zhao Jiu, chose Nanyang, personally defended the city and presided over the Central Plains Anti-Japanese War; that person only knew how to drag the front line, but he, Zhao Jiu, gave so much support to Li Gang, Zong Ze, Li Yanxian, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other anti-Jin heroes who were originally suppressed and abandoned in another time and space...
But why is the situation still so difficult? And why did something unexpected happen like Han Shizhong?
Where did the mistake go?
Is it true that escaping is more reasonable than fighting?
"What do you think would happen if I had gone to Yangzhou at the beginning?" Zhao Jiu suddenly turned around and asked the person beside him.
No one answered.
Maybe because she was too tired from cooking during the day, Wu Yu had already fallen asleep, and Zhao Jiu was not surprised. In fact, if he hadn't known that the other party had fallen asleep, Emperor Zhao would not have asked this question.
