Chapter 42: Wolf Taming

The weather gradually warmed up, the sunlight was like a flowing fire, and the imperial city was towering, as if it was frozen in still time by the heat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There was no wind in the palace, and the attendants held sticky rods, carefully sticking to the noisy knowledge, so as not to disturb His Majesty, who was already in an irritable mood.

The movement of the imperial study was faintly heard, and the attendants glanced at each other with horror in their eyes.

"Bastard!" Emperor Tiansheng threw down a note and smashed it viciously on a person's face, "You have a good idea!" ”

The kneeling man raised his head in fright, it was Qiu Shangqi, the governor of the five armies.

Because of the failure of the "horse market" policy, Da Yue seems to see that the Tiansheng court has no time to take care of anything else, and it has become more and more intensified, and the border people are unbearable, and they have fled to the interior, and a large number of border people have poured into the inland towns, which has brought countless hidden dangers to the local public security.

Emperor Tiansheng had nowhere to vent his anger, and all the blame was on Qiu Shangqi, who suggested the "horse market".

Qiu Shangqi secretly complained, but there was nowhere to shirk, he looked up at the Tiansheng Emperor's bookcase, Feng Zhiwei, who had written abridgements for the chapters in various places with a blank face, sighed silently.

He wanted to shirk his responsibility, but this strategy was his own, Mr. Wei came to visit the house that day, sat in his study for a while, flipped through a few books and went back, when he cleaned up the open book, he saw the former dynasty Dacheng's means of dealing with the border Rong tribe, and his heart moved, so he had this strategy.

Now, what can people blame? Weirdos flipped through their own books?

"The minister has smashed the errand." Qiu Shangqi kowtowed again and again, "Just Dayue, you dare to offend my Tiansheng, please Your Majesty Rongchen will atone for his sins, lead me Tiansheng Erlang, and let this arrogant Xiaoli cut the horse, only to know that my Tianwei can't be committed!" ”

Emperor Tiansheng narrowed his eyes, noncommittal, and said for a while: "Retreat first." ”

Qiu Shangqi cautiously withdrew, looked at the sky where stratus clouds were rolling, and thought to himself that at his age, would he still have to go far away from the border and send troops to release his horses?

In the imperial study, Emperor Tiansheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How?" ”

Several pavilion elders in the study looked at each other, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to start a war lightly......

"The people outside the world, with Huairou Weide as the ......"

"The former prince's rebellion case is not over, and the war is revived again, which hurts the stability of the people......"

Emperor Tiansheng's face became more and more gloomy, and everyone gradually stopped talking, looking around uneasy.

Ning Yi sat in the first seat of the imperial study, he was originally here to report on the Gyeonggi water conservancy affairs, but when he met the discussion, he was left to observe, and the man with black hair and jade crown looked calm and listened with a smile.

Feng Zhiwei helped Emperor Tiansheng polish ink on a few cases not far from him, his eyes were lowered, and his expression was a little calmer than him.

Since Ning Yi stepped into the imperial study, neither of them looked at each other.

At this time, Emperor Tiansheng's face was not good, and Ning Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Father Emperor may wish to listen to Mr. Guoshi's opinion." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Feng Zhiwei in the corner, and someone showed a sneering look on his face - His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the word "national scholar", sounds really a bit ****......

Feng Zhi remained silent, put down his pen and stood up, and said quietly: "Fight, don't fight." ”

"What do you say?" Emperor Tiansheng's eyes lit up.

"The Yue people are unruly, they have always been unwilling to surrender, there has been no war with the Central Plains for many years, and they have long forgotten the embarrassment of being expelled from the Central Plains by my Tiansheng, but I only remember that this good world was occupied by the Tiansheng Dynasty, stupid **** is at ease in it, and the untamed ones should be added with prestige, and the lesson must be given."

"Hmm, go on."

"However, the Yue country is born as a nomad, the cavalry is the world, it comes and goes like the wind, it is not difficult to defeat it, and it is not easy to eradicate and hurt its vitality."

Yao Ying, the first assistant of the cabinet, frowned and said, "Wei Zhi, you go around and around, and every word is empty words. ”

Feng Zhiwei glanced at the old Shoufu, this old minister of the Chu King faction, who had a holiday with her because of his son, and now he was working in a room, and he was targeting her everywhere, and he wanted to kick her away early.

"Yes, old man." She smiled softly and had a humble attitude, "Wei Zhicai is shallow and shallow, so he doesn't dare to show off in front of you." ”

"Only those who are thin and shallow need to be experienced, continue." Emperor Tiansheng frowned, "Yao Ying, you are an old man of the Heavenly Dynasty, the first minister, why don't you have any patience at all?" ”

Yao Ying touched her nose, suffocated, and secretly scolded this kid for taking the path of Princess Shaoning, which made His Majesty look at him differently.

"The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and the weeds are burned up and grow again in the next spring." Feng Zhiwei said, "Soldiers and horses can be re-enlisted, weapons can be rebuilt, and a few battles can't make the fierce Da Yue's heart die, so it's better to ...... Weak people! Destroy it! Take control of the country! ”

Emperor Tiansheng's eyebrows moved, and he said quickly: "Speak!" ”

"Instead of defending to the death, it is better to open the border." Feng Zhiwei said, "The suggestion of the Autumn Capital Governor of the Horse Market, in fact, the direction is correct, but the timing is not right, Da Yue has been arrogant and sluggish in recent years, and the opening of the Horse Market will only make the Yue Kingdom think that I am showing weakness, and I am even more arrogant, so I should fight first!" Suppress the formation with heavy troops, win its ambition in a battle, and then exchange markets. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more ridiculous it gets!" Yao Ying was displeased and reprimanded, "Since the war is over, what are you going to do with each other!" If we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, won't we delay the great fightership? ”

"Elder Yao, Your Majesty just said, open up your words and let young people experience and experience." Hu Shengshan, the second assistant of the goatee on the side, smiled and answered.

Feng Zhi smiled and thanked - the old guy was Hu Fuzi in the political discussion class of Qingming Academy that day, although he was also a faction of the King of Chu, he rarely embarrassed her.

"We want to exchange markets." She smiled and said angrily, "Once Da Yue surrenders, we will also vigorously exchange markets, silk, porcelain, medicine, food, everything that Da Yue does not have, except for weapons, we will not hesitate to provide, and at the same time move the mainland criminals to the north and allow intermarriage with the Yue country." ”

"Nonsense!" This time, everyone reprimanded, "My Tiansheng people have a noble bloodline, how can I be confused with the wilderness people!" ”

"For many years, because Da Yue lived in the barren land, fought with the sky and poverty, and fought with the intrusive grassland tribes, he developed an unruly and brave and aggressive character, and these men who called themselves the descendants of the Dapeng God, once they married the delicate Central Plains women, experienced the stability and wealth of the Han people, learned to farm and do business, owned their own property, were used to eating rich Central Plains food, and relied on all kinds of medicines...... Will they still have the same blood and stamina as before? Is it still possible to be on the battlefield, and then die, at the expense of this life? ”

There was silence in the room, everyone was pondering, Tiansheng learned the lesson of the chaos and chaos in the last years of Dacheng, and has been committed to isolating the infiltration of the Dayue forces for many years.

Throughout Dacheng's 600 years of national policy to deal with barbarians, all the people present were able ministers of the court, and naturally understood that Feng Zhiwei's civilization spread, war and strategy, and economic exchanges were the three major means to pacify the grassland tribes, but each means had its limitations, the threat of the grassland has always shrouded the Central Plains, and the strong and long-term turf barbarians are like weeds on the grassland, which cannot be burned, blown and born, after conquering and assimilating a nation and power, there will soon be a more ferocious and barbaric barbarian race will rise on the grassland, One after another, it is difficult to cure.

And if the army is hastily raised, it may be followed by a protracted war, and the consequences of repressing one regime and facing another, more ferocious regime, are the politicians really determined to do so? And in the southwest of Tiansheng, there is also a rich maritime country Xiliang with a developed salt industry, once the war is stalemate, will Xiliang be robbed by fire?

No one can afford this responsibility, and although the strategy is good, no one dares to support it.

"Have you ever thought that once the nomadic country is educated by the civilization of the Central Plains, it is very likely to be more prosperous if it learns my technology, learns my rule of law, and learns our country's policies?" In the middle of the night, Hu Shengshan asked leisurely.

"Intermarriage and mutual markets, although it takes a long time to bear fruit, emulating the culture of our Central Plains is not an overnight achievement." Feng Zhi smiled slightly, "What's more, the three major tribes of Tiele, Gu'a, and Duoshu, who are located in a corner of the Hulun grassland in Dayue, have also been restless for many years, and after retreating from Dayue in World War I, they will be properly supported and contained, and within ten years, Dayue will definitely not be able to cross the Hulun Pass." ”

"What's more." Feng Zhi smiled slightly, and in an instant, the warmth was gone, and the agility and brilliance were born on his own, "Weichen still has two good things, but Bao Dayue has been restrained by our dynasty since then, and turned a wolf into a dog!" ”

"Oh?" Emperor Tiansheng's expression had turned into interest, but Ning Yi on the side suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Feng Zhiwei turned his gaze, suddenly walked to Ning Yi's side, and bowed slightly.

"Your Highness, would you mind borrowing something for me?"
