Chapter 131: I'm not pretending to be a showdown
Throughout the history of China.
In fact, the shadow of nomads can be seen in all dynasties.
Xiongnu, Donghu, Rouran, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Khitan and today's Turks.
Don't look at the different names of these nomads, their historical status is also different.
But they have one thing in common, they are very aggressive.
It's either an invasion of this or an invasion of that.
But this is not incomprehensible.
As we all know, the Northern Desert region is a dry zone at high latitudes.
It's cold to death in winter, and hot in summer.
It is also because of this climate that many parts of the country are deserts, and there are very few fertile pastures that can actually be grazing.
In order to compete for these pastures, these nomads are bound to wage a series of wars.
In such a war, there will certainly be bloodshed and sacrifice.
But it also cultivated the bloodline of the nomadic people who are brave and warlike.
If you look at this matter in the minds of the ancients.
It's nothing more than that these people are some warlike barbarians.
For a day without fighting, they are miserable.
This kind of thinking is obviously ridiculous.
If they have enough to eat, who wants to fight?
So in Li Chengqian's view, this matter is another matter.
Li Chengqian faced Li Shimin and said slowly: "If my father wants to completely solve the troubles caused by the northern nomads. β
"The first thing to do is to move the people from the north to the south."
"The northerners moved south?"
didn't wait for Li Shimin to speak.
Shang Shu's left servant shot Xiao Yu and said directly: "If the old minister is not wrong, what His Highness said is to move those barbarians into my Tang Dynasty?" β
"Exactly."
Li Chengqian bowed slightly.
"Your Highness's words, it's a bit of a joke."
"Doesn't this kind of behavior lead the wolf into the house?"
"Your Highness, you are still young, so don't get involved in government affairs, just listen to it."
Xiao Yu looked at Li Chengqian.
His words, though not excessive.
But it's also very unkind.
Of course, he can't be blamed for this.
After all, listening to Li Chengqian's words with his thoughts is very naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
I really don't know, he is naΓ―ve and ridiculous in Li Chengqian's eyes.
Li Chengqian didn't argue with him, and said to Li Shimin: "Let me ask my father, what is the most important thing in a person's life?" β
"Is it a temperament? Is it dignity? Or are they ideals that no one believes when they say it? β
Li Shimin looked at him strangely and didn't speak.
Li Chengqian continued: "What people live for a lifetime is nothing more than two words, eating. β
"If you can really eat enough, who can think about war all day long? Could it be that you are really full? β
"Obviously, there are no such stupid people in this world."
"The reason why the nomads of the Northern Desert have been fighting on the grassland for many years and competing for the plump pastures is not just to eat a full meal."
"If my father can give them this mouthful of food, do you think my father will still rebel?"
Li Chengqian said eloquently: "In other words, if you let them leave the grassland and live a life of farming, will they still be as aggressive as they were when they were nomadic?" β
Li Shimin didn't speak, he was pondering all the time.
But the ministers couldn't stand it anymore.
Even when some people looked at Li Chengqian, a look of disgust appeared in their eyes.
{Received disdain from Xiao Yu +53......}
{Received disdain from Fang Xuanling +37......}
{Received disdain from Wei Zheng +36......}
{received from ......}
It's just that in an instant, the system prompt exploded.
Li Chengqian didn't expect that his words would bring such an effect.
It seems that I will have to mention this kind of government affairs more in the future.
At this time, Xiao Yu snorted and said, "Your Highness knows that the Hu people are barbaric and difficult to control. β
"If you let it enter my Datang territory, then there will be an incident in the future, how will the people deal with themselves?"
His words immediately attracted the support of many people.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does it mean, how should the Hu people deal with it?" β
"Of course, it's left to its own devices."
Xiao Yu raised his head and said: "Now that the Northern Desert Grassland has been pacified, all the departments of the grassland are already afraid of my Tang Dynasty." β
"Presumably, they won't dare to invade my Datang territory in the future."
"Scared?"
Li Chengqian smiled.
He suddenly felt that this Xiao Yu didn't seem to be as wise as history said.
Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Can Xiao Xiang guarantee that in the next ten years, there will be no war at my Datang border pass?" β
"This ......"
Xiao Yu was asked.
Where can he guarantee this?
He could only face Li Shimin: "My Tang Dynasty man is brave, if he dares to come, I dare to fight." β
"Is it a question of whether to fight or not?"
"Xiao Xiang, what you said is really a joke."
There was already a flash of fire in Li Chengqian's eyes.
Sometimes it's not that he doesn't want to stand up and do things, but he already knows that such a person will appear.
Thoughts are foolish, and they don't allow others to change anything.
"Let me ask you, have you ever been on the battlefield?"
"Have you ever seen those soldiers die in front of your eyes?"
"Do you know that in the two battles of the Northern Desert, how many sons and daughters of our Datang have spilled blood on the battlefield?"
"In the two wars in the Northern Desert, 3,500 soldiers were disabled, and they couldn't even take care of their own lives in the future."
"After two battles in the Northern Desert, 15,000 Tang Dynasty boys can no longer see the snow in their hometown, and they can no longer see their families."
Li Chengqian sneered: "That's right." β
"None of these sons are your sons."
"If I say, in the next battle, let your son go to the battlefield himself, stand at the forefront of the battlefield, would you be willing?"
After his words came out, they immediately resonated with many generals.
Cheng Yanjin was the first to stand up for Li Chengqian.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jing, Wei Chi Jingde and others also stood up one after another.
Then most of the remaining generals stepped forward.
No one wants to fight.
If there is a good life, who wants to fight for their lives?
Isn't the life of an ordinary soldier a life?
In the face of the doubts of these generals, Xiao Yu couldn't say a word.
But Li Chengqian still refuses to relent.
"Xiao Xiang, sometimes, don't talk about age."
"I have seen the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers with my own eyes, and I have also seen the displacement of the people in the Northern Desert."
"Now the Northern Desert is already in my Tang territory, and the people of the Northern Desert are the people of my Tang Dynasty."
"All they want now is stability, and if it is given to them, they will not rebel."
"And I dare to assert that if Datang gives them enough respect, they will regard Datang as the motherland."
"As long as my father gives an order, they will be my Datang's disciples."
"If anyone dares to invade, they will consciously join the army and enlist in the army, guard Datang, and guard Chang'an."
After he said something, he really said that Xiao Yu was speechless.
Xiao Yu didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Li Shimin was even more so, looking at Li Chengqian with surprise on his face.
He really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would have such an opinion.
Actually, he should have known about it a long time ago.
It's just that Li Chengqian doesn't want to say it.
Today, Li Chengqian was also forced by Xiao Yu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been like this.
"I'm not pretending, I'm having a showdown."
"I'm a little political expert, the only one in the world."
