When the whole court has a will to act together for a goal, no one and nothing can stop the carriage from moving forward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Emperor Chengde asked the state capitals to publicize the evil deeds done by the Turks, not only posting notices, but also letting people sing and chant at the entrance of the vegetable market and the downtown area.
The women and girls turned pale with fright, and when they heard that the women and children of the village had been subjected to such inhuman humiliation, they could not stop their tears.
And the men, no matter how old they are, after hearing the tragic situation of the people in the frontier, their eyes are red, their breathing is short, and their throats emit anger like the roar of a wild beast.
"Those pigs and dogs are not as good as animals!"
"Fuck it! Is it true that there is no one in our Great Xia? ”
"Kill! Gotta kill all these dogs! Avenge the people of the frontier! ”
Whether it is a wealthy family, a small farmer, or a farmer in the countryside, at this moment, they all share the same hatred and are angry for the people who have suffered miserably.
"Kill the Turkic dog, pay for the blood debt!"
In just one day, in the entire territory of Great Xia, as long as you have heard the government talk about the frontier, the tone has become that you must pay the blood debt of the Turkic dog in order to release the anger in your heart.
At this moment, Great Xia has been united, and everyone's goal is the same, that is, those who violate my borders, those who kill my compatriots, and those who insult my siblings will be punished even if they are far away!
The imperial court began to operate, and the people from all over the country were requisitioned to transport grain and grass, and in the past, this kind of labor was reluctant to be strong in various places, especially in wartime, and no one wanted to go.
This time it was the opposite, when the imperial court's conscription order came down, the counties and towns in various places thought that it would take a while, and even in the end, they had to take strong measures to collect the people recruited by the imperial court.
When the situation in various places was reported to Emperor Chengde, Emperor Chengde was silent for a while, and then said: "Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, and the people of all Great Xia are working hard for the same goal, and Great Xia will be invincible." Rongjing, it's better to do it in your way. ”
At that time, Shu Hongxuan, as a member of the Zhongshu House, was helping to deal with the government by his side, and when he heard Emperor Chengde's words, he did not take credit, but said quietly: "Your Majesty, the land of the Turkic dog will eventually become part of my Great Xia territory." ”
Shu Hongxuan comes from a society with advanced information, and has seen how much influence boiling public opinion can have on a country.
In the court, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, they all have the same meaning - the Turkic dog who is a dog.
But fighting a war is not only a matter for the courtiers, but also for the people.
If you start a war rashly, if you don't get the support of the people, in many cases, there will be some poor operation in the rear, which is very bad for the front line, and may even cause very bad consequences.
In that case, let the whole people hate the same enemy. Shu Hongxuan believes that since even future generations can unite at a critical moment, there is no reason why in this environment that emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety and faith, the people will lose their blood.
The purpose of informing the counties and villages about the border town incident was to let the people understand the reason for the expedition.
At the beginning, not only the six cabinet courtiers, but also the Chengde Emperor did not approve of this, because if the inside affairs were made public, it would inevitably appear that the imperial army was too cowardly and incompetent.
Even the people of the frontier could not be protected, and if they were killed and humiliated by the Turkic dogs, the prestige of the imperial court in the hearts of the people would definitely be reduced.
However, Shu Hongxuan did not think so, he tried his best to persuade that when telling the people about the inside story, he could highlight the comparison of the forces of the two sides at that time, one side was 100,000, and the other side was 10,000 soldiers defending the city.
Moreover, in the imagination of the people, the Turks are also fierce and cruel, and General Chen killed more than 100 enemy troops when he was able to lead the army to meet the enemy, which was already very powerful, but he just didn't expect that the Turkic dog he was facing would secretly send people to sneak attack the village, so that the Turkic dog would succeed.
When telling the people, the focus should also be on the young men who were killed, the women who were humiliated, and the children who were brutally hurt.
Many people have their own siblings and their own children and mothers-in-law, and it is easier for them to feel the same way.
As long as the people know the inside story of this expedition, they must be able to understand in their hearts, they have been bullied to the doorstep, do they have to wait for the thieves to rob their homes, kill themselves, hurt their children, and humiliate their mothers-in-law?
In the end, Emperor Chengde was convinced, in his words, "We Daxia suffered a loss this time, and we admit that we have the courage to admit our mistakes."
This time, it was us who cried, and next time, it should be the Turkic dog who cried. ”
And facts have proved that Shu Hongxuan's method is really effective, and judging from the feedback from all over the country, the momentum has been condensed before the battle.
Not only that, the gentry in various places spontaneously donated their surplus old grain, which greatly reduced the burden on the imperial court.
In fact, Shu Hongxuan insisted on letting the people know the situation in the border city, and there was another worry in his heart.
He didn't know if the Turkic people were deliberately choosing to attack at this time, but he knew that once the imperial court used troops at this time and failed to make the people agree with it, after a long time, it was very likely that the people's resentment would boil - the sky and the earth were big, but they couldn't eat enough to eat their stomachs.
Spring ploughing and sowing and autumn harvesting, if the spring ploughing is mistaken, the harvest will be affected, and if the remaining rations cannot be filled, it is very likely that there will be turmoil at the instigation of well-intentioned people -- this is not that he is unfounded, but this war with the Turks, and it is impossible to see that the situation can be finished in a month or two.
In a war, in addition to the strength of the sergeants on the front line, it is also the support of the rear, and if the rear is unstable, it is just a joke to win.
Shu Hongxuan used his extensive experience to put forward a lot of rules, such as the people in the countryside, the family's annual tax can be reduced by 30%, and the original tax is only paid to four achievements, so that even if the family has labor to be requisitioned, they can easily pay the tax, and they can also leave enough rations.
The rest of the world, there are many humane rules, these measures make the people more united - a court that can put the people in their hearts, so that the people can live a safe and stable life.
Shu Hongxuan didn't know that because of his actions, he had destroyed some people's conspiracy.
