207 Deterrence
Since Gao Zixin was inspired, he couldn't help but think deeply about that inspiration.
As a result, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to do it. Even though it is difficult to execute, once successful, the results are too great.
He himself is not an emperor who likes to be ruthless, because those soldiers are also his people, and it may be hypocritical to say that he feels heartache for every sacrifice of someone, but Gao Zixin does not want his people to make senseless sacrifices.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have chosen to take it lightly on the issue of the island country and the Tartars, boiling the frog in warm water, and directly letting the generals take the soldiers to attack.
But if you really want to attack, whether it is those islanders or Tartars, they will inevitably lose and resist, and at that time, even if Daliang has firearms, the casualties will be immeasurable.
Gao Zixin was reluctant to do that.
If there was a better way, how could he let the people of Daliang lose their lives in vain?
This so-called post station and caravan, even if it is implemented, there will be casualties and losses, but compared to directly sending a large army to attack, this loss is almost negligible.
You must know that the farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes, the worse the environment, once the soldiers of Daliang go, they will not get used to the severe cold in the north, and then the people who die just because they do not adapt to the climate will not know how many people will die, not to mention the huge casualties caused by the war.
But the caravan is different, the caravan has few people, and there is a cover for doing business, unless the other party wants to provoke a war, or encounters a raid, a small target such as a caravan generally will not arouse the other party's vigilance and attack.
Gao Zixin thought of the end, and he couldn't wait to do it.
There is no way, such a ** as opening up the territory has a huge attraction to any emperor.
What's more, with the success of the Northeast and the island country, Gao Zixin's ambitions have already expanded.
Fortunately, his sanity was still there, not swallowed up by his expanding ambitions.
And just when Gao Zixin looked at the excerpt and fell into a trance, Feng Xuan had already noticed his abnormality.
If you want to say who cares about Gao Zixin the most in this world, Feng Xuan dares to say second, I'm afraid no one dares to say first. Even the He family focused on Taiping and the newborn dragon and phoenix fetus.
But Feng Xuan is different, even with Bao'er, what he cares about most is still Gao Zixin.
To give one of the most clichΓ© examples, if Gao Zixin and Bao'er are in danger at the same time, and Feng Xuan can only save one person, he will definitely save Gao Zixin, and there will be no hesitation!
Of course, Feng Xuan would never let that happen.
After all, although he cares most about Gao Zixin, he also attaches great importance to Bao'er, a hard-won son.
And at this moment, after Feng Xuan saw Gao Zixin's abnormality, he walked to Gao Zixin's side without hesitation, and looked at the fold in his hand without knowing how to avoid suspicion.
Feng Xuan is very domineering, and he has to intervene in the things that Gao Zixin cares about.
But at this glance, he was also a little surprised.
The two have been together for a long time, and their ideas will naturally influence each other. So as soon as Feng Xuan looked at the content on the excerpt, he guessed Gao Zixin's thoughts.
He and Gao Zixin's thoughts coincide.
Gao Zixin saw that this matter was promising, and Feng Xuan also saw it.
So when Gao Zixin put down the fold in his hand, Feng Xuan took the lead and said: "This person's proposal is good. β
Gao Zixin nodded slightly, and said with excitement: "This matter must be started immediately, but the selection of the caravan must be carefully considered, and the Tartars also have to think of a way to let them be honest." β
Gao Zixin knew that those Tartars in the north were having a hard time, but he didn't have a hobby of poverty alleviation, especially if the other party was still an enemy.
But it was precisely because he knew that the Tartars in the north were not happy, and he understood even more that once the caravan with supplies entered the territory of the Tartars, it was easy to be plundered or even killed!
So in order to ensure the safety of the caravan, he had to do something in advance.
Feng Xuan looked at his serious and contemplative appearance, and couldn't help but smile, he liked Gao Zixin's serious thinking.
So although he already had an idea in his heart, he deliberately didn't say it, but kept looking at Gao Zixin.
After a while, Gao Zixin suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were hooked proudly, obviously having an idea.
Feng Xuan looked at his triumphant little appearance, and couldn't help but feel more and more itchy in his heart - the person he fell in love with would never let him down!
So he asked, "Zixin, do you have an idea?" β
Gao Zixin glanced at Feng Xuan proudly, he did already have an idea in his heart, and after he had an idea, his mood became very good. Seeing Feng Xuan's expectant eyes at this time, Gao Zixin was even more proud.
Every time like this, Gao Zixin feels that his husband is particularly cheered up!
Hmph, now you know that your husband is amazing, right?
Gao Zixin smiled proudly in his heart, didn't talk to Feng Xuan, and directly said the idea he had just come up with: "It will be my birthday soon, and when all countries come to the court, I plan to take this opportunity to hold a small-scale military exercise, lest those clowns who jump up and down don't know the strength of the beam, and always think that they are the best in the world." β
Although Feng Xuan also thought of this, his eyes still lit up, and he looked at Gao Zixin more satisfied.
So next, the two specially summoned relevant ministers to focus on discussing this military exercise.
After some discussion, the matter of the military exercise was quickly decided. In order to achieve a better deterrent effect, Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan picked up the kind of fierce generals who had been on the battlefield, and they couldn't stop it with their evil spirits, so it was convenient for those beam-jumping clowns to recognize today's Liang soldiers.
Things were quickly laid out, and the selected people began to train intensively. At the same time, He Kun also began to ponder what things in the Weapons Bureau could be taken out and which ones had to be hidden.
There are many affairs, but after the assignment, it is also completed in an orderly manner, and there is no need for Gao Zixin to bother at all.
This hectic time passes very quickly.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, it has reached the day of Gao Zixin's birthday.
This day was very lively, the envoys of various countries came early with gifts, whether it was the Tartars in the north or the islanders, or other neighboring countries around, this time they were all very honest, and they did not want to perfunctory the girder with some worthless bargains as before, or even exchange the girder for benefits.
The islanders who have been cleaned up are especially honest, but the sights from all sides really make them stab in the back. Although his back has been straightened, every envoy of the island nation is eager to dig a hole in the ground.
They couldn't help but look at the Tartars from the north, thinking that the situation of these Tartars being driven out of the northeast was much worse than their land reparations, and it must be more uncomfortable than them, right?
As a result, as soon as those big and thick Tartars noticed the eyes of the envoys of the island country, they unceremoniously glared at them fiercely, and their fierce eyes were like wolves on the grassland, which frightened the envoys of the island country one by one, and they did not dare to look at them anymore.
The other envoys couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts when they saw the reaction of the envoys of the island country.
These little dwarfs were beaten to the nest by the Liang people, not only did they cede their territory, but they also had to pay a huge amount of money, what a shame it was!
These envoys are also persimmons deliberately picking soft pinch, they don't dare to provoke the beam, but a small island country, they won't take it seriously!
Especially since this island country has also done such a humiliating thing as land cession and compensation, of course they have to laugh at it!
What's more, the last time the envoys of various countries were sent out of the country, Da Liang's excuse was that they beat the envoys of the island country, and those envoys sued after they returned.
Those Tartars from the north are even more so, they are not having a good time, and that time they sent envoys to Daliang to take advantage of it, it is best to get firearm drawings or something, who knows that not only did the matter not work out, but also owed a lot of debt!
Since then, they have sent envoys to Liang again, but each time it has not come to fruition.
It can be said that this beam has long been knotted!
If it weren't for the painful lesson of that time, these people would have been eager to beat those dwarfs in the island country again to vent their hatred!
The turbulent tide here has long been seen by people, but whether it is Gao Zixin or Feng Xuan, they are too lazy to take care of it. They didn't want the countries to join forces to deal with Daliang, but now that there is a contradiction between them, Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan can't ask for it.
As for those unlucky islanders, how could the two of them care what they thought?
After the ceremony, it's time to get down to business, that is, military exercises.
Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan led the mighty people to move directly to the demarcation of the exercise site early in the morning, and although the envoys of various countries were confused, they still followed honestly.
After all, there were so many people, they didn't have to worry about Liang Ren laying a trap to kill them.
Unless the Great Liang wants to go to war with them at the same time, it is impossible to do so!
At this time, no matter which country's envoys, they were extremely confident. They feel that although their own country has no chance of winning against the beam, if they join forces, they can still make the beam fearful.
Such thoughts made their mood much more comfortable, but when the military exercise began, as soon as the soldiers who had been trained long ago came on the field and shouted in unison, these envoys who had been complacent before turned pale with fright.
The Tartars are better, the others are miserable, where have they ever seen such a battle!
