Chapter 100 Wang Wentong's Reminder
In the palace of the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Suining County, Zhao Tai pulled Wang Wentong into the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench.
Zhao Tai did not expect that the rebellious Wang Wentong would come and recommend himself without even visiting the thatched cottage.
This was in sharp contrast to when Zhao Tai went out to see him for the first time.
Zhao Tai originally thought that it would take some time to get Wang Wentong to return to his heart, but he didn't expect that this guy would vote so quickly.
This made Zhao Tai feel a little confused, wondering whether this guy was the Wang Wentong in history, and whether he had two skills.
That's how people are. If they don't get it, they just think about it in their hearts. After they get it, they start to make trouble again.
At this time, the two sat down. Zhao Tai asked his subordinates to make a pot of tea, and personally gave Wang Wentong a cup. He said casually: "Sir, you are willing to work for me. I am like a helping hand, like a fish in water. However, there is something I don't understand. Why is Mr.
I suddenly changed my mind!"
Wang Wentong knew that he had lost some of his worth by taking the initiative to seek refuge, but in this world, talents are rare, and famous masters are even harder to find.
As a northern Han Chinese, it is really difficult to express your ambitions.
There was no enterprising spirit in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was difficult to dominate the world. They could only settle down in a corner, unable to realize their ambitions and unable to show their talents.
The Han people in the north have many military skills, but according to Wang Wentong's observation, few of them are ambitious.
According to his previous understanding, Li Quan was quite ambitious, but he died.
As for the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, they are both alien races and are the last and helpless choices.
Wang Wentong has actually been looking for someone who can help these years, and his observation of Zhao Tai these days made him happy to find that Zhao Tai is a good potential stock.
Wang Wentong glanced at Zhao Tai with a smile, "As the saying goes, a bird that chooses wood must live in a good tree; a minister who chooses his master must meet the master of the Ming Dynasty! When Xianggong asks why I changed my mind, it is better to ask why I chose Xianggong."
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows, Wang Wentong's words were very good, he could not embarrass himself, but also flatter him in disguise.
Zhao Tai decided to give him this opportunity and asked cooperatively: "Oh, I wonder how I attracted Sir?"
Wang Wentong stood up and faced Zhao Tai with his hands behind his back, "Firstly, when Xianggong came from Xuzhou, hungry people followed him, which shows that Xianggong has the virtue of a wise ruler and is trusted by the people. Secondly, after Xianggong entered the city, he did not immediately rectify Suining.
When Song Yuan arrived, he first paid the army, and then made a three-part agreement with the army, which showed that the prime minister had the wisdom of a wise master, made decisions before acting, and did not act rashly. Thirdly, when the sergeant broke the law, the prime minister killed him, and enforced the law impartially, indicating that he had a bright master.
The killing was decisive. Finally, with money and food in hand, the husband did not immediately recruit soldiers to increase his strength. Instead, he restored the order of Suining City, established rules, and at the same time provided relief to the hungry people, which shows that the husband knows how to win over the people.
The people rushed to seek refuge first, and then Xianggong raised flags to recruit troops. All the soldiers he got came because of Xianggong, which was a stroke of genius."
"Hahaha~" Zhao Tai felt really comfortable after hearing his compliment.
Although there was flattery in Wang Wentong's words, what he said was basically consistent with Zhao Tai's thoughts.
This allowed Zhao Tai to be sure that this Wang Wentong was probably the unlucky guy who was killed by Kublai Khan in history.
Wang Wentong turned around and also laughed, "My lord, tell me, is a wise man like you, who is benevolent, wise, decisive in killing, and knows how to win people's hearts, worthy of my trust?"
Wang Wentong praised Zhao Tai, and also praised himself.
Since he said that Zhao Tai would win the hearts of the people, it was not easy for Zhao Tai to embarrass him anymore, so he sincerely stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please sit down and talk."
Wang Wentong immediately took his seat again, and Zhao Tai began the test of the last question, "Sir, you also know that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been in chaos. For more than three hundred years, there has never been a master with great talent and strategy who can unify the world and clear up the world.
Nowadays, Mongolia has risen and invaded the south on a large scale, and the world is in danger. I have no talent, and I only have the land of Suining, but I want to resist the Mongols and protect our Central Plains culture. Now that my land has few soldiers, sir, can you give me some advice to drive out the Mongols and establish a
Merit?"
Wang Wentong knew that this was the last big question given to him by his boss, and whether he could do it well was related to what kind of status he could gain in Zhao Tai's group.
Faced with such a big question, Wang Wentong was very cautious. He did not rush to answer the question immediately, but asked seriously: "I wonder whether the achievement mentioned by the husband is to revive the Jin Kingdom or to revive the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Wentong, and thought to himself: "I am Song Guoxizuo, is it so obvious?"
Zhao Tai thought about it for a while. Since he decided to recruit Wang Wentong and rely on him to make suggestions and assist in handling military and political matters, he must reveal his true thoughts to him. Otherwise, the other party will not be able to handle many things or act according to his wishes.
implement.
Zhao Tai did not say anything clearly, but stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, "The ambition of a man is like a surging river rushing to the sea. I am not for the Jin Kingdom or the Southern Song Dynasty. My achievement is to clean up the world and unify the nine states."
, and bring peace to the people of the world."
After Wang Wentong heard this, he became excited. Looking at Zhao Tai's back, he suddenly felt the urge to cry.
For so many years, he has traveled around the world, and it can be said that Zhao Tai is the person closest to him and the one who understands his heart.
He had both Liu Bei's benevolence and Cao Cao's talent and strategy, and he was decisive in killing. Wang Wentong made up his mind that he could not hesitate and must follow him.
After understanding Zhao Tai's thoughts, Wang Wentong looked at Zhao Tai's back and bowed his hands respectfully, "My husband wants to establish his merits, and I think the key lies in the support of the people. Nowadays, Jin, Song, and Mongolia are not popular among the people. The Song Dynasty is in a corner and loses
It is difficult to unify the people of the Northern Territory. The Jin Kingdom is a foreign race that has occupied the Central Plains, and it is hard to win the support of the people. Now that they have stolen the artifact, they cannot protect and treat the people well, and their destruction is certain. As for the Mongols, they are also a foreign race, and they are not as violent as the Jin Kingdom at the time.
No less, they use force to intimidate the Central Plains and use killing to suppress people's hearts. In my opinion, this is not a long-term solution."
Wang Wentong paused and continued: "Now the people in the north are like abandoned people. Because they have not met the Ming Dynasty, their minds are confused. Some of them rely on the Jin Kingdom, some seek refuge in Mongolia, and some place their hopes on the Southern Song Dynasty, but they all rely on the Southern Song Dynasty.
Non-human. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. From the perspective of my subordinates, if Mr. Xianggong can use the wealth of the Southern Song Dynasty and use the name of resisting Mongolia to win over people's hearts and develop his strength, he can achieve great things."
Zhao Tai nodded slightly, feeling that what Wang Wentong said was reasonable, but something seemed to be missing.
At this time, Wang Wentong suddenly saluted and said: "However, my subordinates also want to remind Mr. Mongolia that Mongolia is powerful and its troops are invincible. Mr. Xian wants to win the hearts of the people, but remember not to be too high-profile. If there is a way, the trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them.
My subordinates believe that before Xianggong has the strength to block the Mongolian attack, it is not appropriate to offend Mongolia too much and let Mongolia focus on Xianggong. Xianggong should hide behind the Jin and Song Dynasties and seek development first to strengthen his own strength."
Zhao Tai's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nodded heavily. He was familiar with this, "This is to build a high wall, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king!"
