Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 709 - 341: [Xin Qiji: 50 Iron Riders vs Tens of Thousands—The Advantage Is Ours]
Thinking about it, it makes sense.
If Xin Qiji wasn't so brave, and it were someone else, then this traitor Zhang Anguo might have enjoyed his old age peacefully, or been overthrown by someone later, but it wouldn't have been as easy to capture him.
After all, charging into an enemy camp with 50 horsemen is not something an ordinary person would dare to do.
And Xin Qiji's magnificent feat.
It has also made Blue Star netizens in the live stream anticipate more, yet also somewhat confused as to why such an excellent Xin Qiji was hardly seen later?
The images in the live stream continued to play.
Soon...
They knew.
After capturing the traitor Zhang Anguo and returning to the Southern Song, Xin Qiji was appointed as the signing judge of Jiangyin, thus starting his official career in the Southern Song.
Later on.
Xin Qiji submitted what he had seen and heard during those years in the Jin Kingdom, summarized into "Ten Discourses on Defending Against the Enemy."
Systematically expounding on the anti-Jin strategy.
This can be said to be the obsession and effort of Xin Qiji's first half of life.
Looking at each summary within.
Blue Star netizens couldn't help but nod.
But....
The scene shifted to the palace.
This work, which condensed the efforts of Xin Qiji's first half of life, was merely glanced at by Emperor Gaozong of the Song and was tossed aside, soon forgotten.
It wasn't until Xin Qiji submitted an inquiry that Emperor Gaozong remembered, and responded that the timing was wrong and the proposal was not adopted.
This scene.
Made Blue Star netizens' blood pressure soar.
They couldn't help but rush inside to curse Emperor Gaozong of the Song with national expletives.
What the heck is this?
Just wasting Xin Qiji's efforts of his first half of life like this?!
In the image.
After being rejected, Xin Qiji still thought the timing might truly be unsuitable now, and hoped to submit again later.
Still had expectations for the Southern Song court.
This made Blue Star netizens feel unspeakably uncomfortable watching.
Eventually, they could only stifle a frustrated 'Crap'!!!!
As Xin Qiji poured his heart into seeking change, he was soon appointed as the commissioner of Jiankang Prefecture, associated with certain pro-war officials, and the poems he wrote gradually took on the bold style seen later.
A few years passed by in a flash.
It had been 5 years since submitting "Ten Discourses on Defending Against the Enemy."
This time.
Xin Qiji submitted "Nine Discourses" to the court.
Centered around restoring the Central Plains, focusing on military defense, fiscal reform, and talent selection, offering a detailed analysis of the Song-Jin situation and strategies for attack and defense, advocating for strengthening state power and other strategies for governing the nation.
But....
It still wasn't adopted.
In the court, there were people defensively accusing him of being a 'Returnee' with 'potential disloyalty,' thus guarded against Xin Qiji.
This meant that despite his talent, every time he was promoted, he would be sidelined, unable to lead troops or receive command, ultimately because he was a 'Returnee.'
From the thirty-second year of Shaoxing when he returned to Song to the eighth year of Chunxi.
19 full years.
Blue Star netizens watched as Xin Qiji held successive positions as the Zhizhou of Chuzhou, the judicial commissioner of Jiangxi, the pacification envoy of Jingmen and Hubei Road in Jiangling, and the pacification envoy of Jiangxi and Hunan.
Yet he could never gain command to lead troops in battle. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Xin Qiji's bold character and passionate desire for a northern expedition clashed markedly with the enclave-mindedness of the Southern Song court at that time.
Coupled with his 'Returnee' identity, every promotion faced obstacles from various sides in the court.
The 19 years had already made people forget that Xin Qiji was once the General who dared to charge into the Jin Army's camp with 50 cavalry, only remembering he was a 'Returnee' born and raised in the Jin Kingdom, who participated in the Jin Kingdom's imperial examination.
Even though he was a Song Person, growing up in the Jin Kingdom, he was not trusted.
As a result, even after Xin Qiji took major local positions, his eagerness for a northern expedition led him to establish and train the 'Flying Tiger Army' with great strides, aiming to create a battle-tested unit.
But in the end, his achievements were seized by others, and he was even impeached with accusations like:
Xin Qiji "spent money like dirt, killed people like straw" and other offenses, resulting in the dismissal of all his positions.
This scene.
Watched by Blue Star netizens, their temples throbbed.
Really inhumane, this bunch of beasts in the Southern Song court.
19 years.
They turned a brave and skilled General into a mere 'Returnee' label, not trusting him, and eventually dismissing all his positions.
So these years were completely in vain.
Not just for Xin Qiji, even the netizens found their heads buzzing upon watching.
