"Zhao Chang beats Siam, let's also accompany him to be lively. Xiuning, Jiaozhou is ripe, and it can be pocketed. ”

Li Luo stood up and said, his jade tree-like posture in the wind contained the momentum of the upper position under control. Zhizhu's calm look in his hand shows this man's strong self-confidence and firm will.

Looking like this, Cui Xiuning was a little dizzy when he saw it.

At this time, men are indeed the most attractive.

Even the proud Cui Xiuning couldn't deny that Li Luo was originally a man who was very fascinated by women. If you add his current identity, then it will be even more fatally attractive to women.

However, this man has self-discipline that other men can't match, and his almost ascetic desire control is simply the best.

But he's his own man. Cui Xiuning suddenly felt a little proud.

She couldn't help but think of what Li Luo said to her, and she was still funny at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be true.

At that time, he said, Xiuning, you are the phoenix in the sky, and I am the Xuanniao in the sky. We came into this world together, and that was providence.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Luo saw Cui Xiuning a little distracted and touched her head.

Cui Xiuning retracted his thoughts, "You're right, Jiaozhou and Xiangzhou can indeed be harvested." Although the grain reserves are not much, they are still enough for a small fight. ”

"It's just, after taking it back, how will the seven million people in the two states be arranged? Give Tang Min identity? ”

Li Luo shook his head, "Tang Min's identity is not so easy to get." The Yue people in Jiaozhou (Annan) are very close to the Han people, many of them are early immigrants of the Han people, and the culture is similar, and Jiaozhou was originally the territory of China. Therefore, the Yue people can restore their Chinese identity. ”

This is the direct national treatment given to the Vietnamese people.

Li Luo continued: "But the natives of Annam are not qualified. The people of Xiangzhou are not of the Chinese species, and they have believed in Brahmins for a long time before, so they are not qualified. ”

Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "There are about five million Yue people, restore the identity of Huaxia." What about the other two million natives and Xiangzhou people? ”

Li Luo said with a smile: "Until the nineteenth century, the Western powers still divided people into hierarchies, even in later generations, and there was no real equality between races. We certainly can't do anything equal. ”

"I think it's time to introduce the concept of the Chinese people. The people in the Chinese cultural circle and the Han and Tang dynasties all belong to the Huaxia ethnic group. ”

"Under the Huaxia people, the ethnic groups are subdivided. The traditional Han people, Jurchen people, Khitan people, Dangxiang people, Yue people, Goryeo people, and Japanese people are all collectively referred to as Han people, and the original clan names are abolished. ”

"The naturalized Tubo, Yi, Miao and other people within the scope of the Great Unification Dynasty are also of the Huaxia ethnic group. They can use their own ethnic group, or they can use the ethnic group of the Han Chinese. ”

"However, the Huaxia people can only take Han culture as the core and Han people as the dominant."

"The Huaxia clan is first-class? It is called the national nation, also known as the Tang people. Under the Huaxia clan? It is second-class. Annam, Champa, Burmese Siam, natives? It's second-class. The natives of Nanyang are of the third class. Slaves, for the fourth class. ”

"A first-class person can be examined? You shall not be a slave unless you are demoted. First-class people pay two percent of taxes. Do second-class people have quasi-Tang Min status? Forty percent of taxes? Can you serve in the army through the imperial examination? However, they are not allowed to hold official positions above the eighth grade. Third-class people pay fifty percent of their taxes, and they are not allowed to serve as officials in the army. The second-class and third-class people can be slaves. ”

"If a Chinese woman marries a third-class man, or a Chinese man marries a third-class woman, will her Huaxia nationality be cancelled? The children born are counted as third-class. ”

"A third-class woman? If you marry a Chinese man, you can obtain the status of a Chinese person, and the children born to you are also of the Chinese nationality. ”

After listening to this, Cui Xiuning asked, "Do this?" Could it have provoked a revolt from the second- and third-class people at that time? ”

Li Luo sneered: "It's good to resist, just kill." Is everything hierarchical? It's the same with people, it's the law of the jungle, it's also order. This is also the Way, the Way of the Strong and the Weak, which we must revere. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "So, for second- and third-class people, there is always a little room for improvement, right?" If it's fully cured, it's not good. ”

Li Luo thought about it, he felt that Cui Xiuning was right, second-class, third-class, fourth-class and other people also have useful talents.

"In this way, anyone who has made contributions to invention and creation, or who has made special contributions to Datang, regardless of second, third, fourth, or fourth, can be promoted to a higher rank, or abolished slavery."

"That's right. Give them a hope. Cui Xiuning felt that it could only be like this.

Without hierarchy, the superiority of the Huaxia people cannot be established, and the cohesion will not be too strong.

Even in later generations, racial discrimination is still deep-rooted, and the so-called equality is just a slogan.

"This matter is not in a hurry, take Jiaozhou and Xiangzhou. Jiaozhou Xiangzhou was disabled by me two or three years ago, and with the colonial rule of the Yuan army, the hard bones were almost wiped out. However, the spirit of resistance remains. So let's take a look at the situation. ”

After driving out the Yuan army, Chen Yiji was appointed king of Annam. Then, in the name of Chen Yiji, he went to the king and returned to China. Li Luo said.

This situation is often very useful. At least on the surface, this is "voluntary".

"Well, the captured princess Aya of Myanmar can also be established as the queen of Myanmar at that time, and when the time is ripe, she will go to the king and voluntarily return the country to Tang."

Cui Xiuning said: "That Aya, the whole family was killed by Timur, the king of Yunnan, and she is the only one left, just enough to be the queen." ”

She knew that although Burma was now in the hands of the Yuan army, the Burmese resistance had not stopped. The tens of thousands of troops in Myanmar barely maintained their rule by not only killing and resisting.

The two talked about this, and a former eunuch of the Song Palace came in and said: "Qi Guan's family, the minister of Wen asks to see him." ”

Li Luo said unhappily: "Kangxi, the widow said before, don't call the official family, do you still want the Zhao official family to come back?" Well? ”

Kang Xi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even said: "Official... The King forgives the sins! The old slave was confused, and the old slave thought that the king was the official family, the son of heaven, and the king forgave his sins! ”

"Alright, alright." Li Luo waved his hand, "Come in quickly, Mr. Wen." ”

Kangxi was pardoned, and hurriedly withdrew.

Cui Xiuning sneered: "You are really damaged." Several eunuch leaders in the palace were either named Kangxi or Qian Nong, Wu Sangui, and I obeyed. They thought it was the king who gave them the name, and they were overjoyed. Why is there no Yongzheng? ”

Li Luo sighed, "Yongzheng is really good." Just rely on the big things of spreading the land into the mu and changing the land and returning to the stream, I don't want to spoil him. It's a pity, he's not Han. ”

At this time, Wen Tianxiang had been led into the Lingxu Pavilion by Kang Xi, and before he could bow down, he was stopped by Li Luo.

"Mr. Wen excuses me, just sit down and talk."

"King Xie." Wen Tianxiang was tall, his voice was clear, and he looked very majestic, "The king, the minister is here to ask the king to use troops against Jiaozhou." ”

Li Luo's eyes lit up, as soon as he talked to Cui Xiuning about using troops against Annan, Wen Tianxiang came to invite him, and he really wanted to go together.

"The widow also has this intention. Mr. Wen also thinks that troops should be used against Jiaozhou, but did he say anything? ”

Wen Tianxiang arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." Jiaozhou is now an enclave of the Yuan court, but it borders the Liang State, Dali and Song Kingdom, and is connected to one piece. If Jiaozhou is occupied, troops can be used in the north and south, and the two sides can be flanked. Moreover, the Yue people have been suffering for a long time, and sending troops to recover at this time will be half the effort. You can also train the sailor to boost morale, after all, the sailor rarely moves. ”

"Not to mention, it can expand the land for thousands of miles, collect millions of people, and greatly increase the national strength. However, although this expedition was easy, it was a battle to collect the country after all, and the minister thought that it was appropriate for the prince to levy it himself. ”

His meaning is very clear, there are two layers.

One is to charge Annan. The second is Li Luo's personal expedition.

He must have known that Li Luo would collect Annan, so what he really wanted to say was actually the second layer, asking Li Luo to collect it in person.

When Li Luo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Wen Tianxiang is really smart.

The difficulty of this expedition must be very low. But the credit is great. Let any general fight, almost all of them are in vain.

The elite soldiers of Annan were annihilated during Li Luonan's expedition, and the hard bones were almost dead, and with tens of thousands of Yuan troops who had no Mongolian soldiers, they could not stop the Tang army that was like a wolf and a tiger and whose morale was like a rainbow.

Such an easy effort to destroy the country should be fought by the monarch himself, not by his courtiers.

This is what Wen Tianxiang means.

Li Luo couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Wen, do you know that the widow originally wanted to ask you to take command of the expedition. ”

Wen Tianxiang had actually guessed that the king would make him in charge, so he came to meet you.

After all, there are many Tang Guomeng generals, and there are also a few handsome talents. It is suitable to command an army of 100,000 troops, an expedition to Annam, and a military and political commander who passes through Xintu, that is, only three people.

One is of course the king himself, and the other is Taigong Yan Duo, and the other is not boastful, it is him Wen Tianxiang.

Xu Shuzhen is barely competent, but after all, she is a woman. Jiang Jun and Yang Xu and others do not have this ability yet.

Taigong Yan Duo is old, of course, it is not suitable. Then if the king doesn't personally conquer, he can only send himself in command.

Such a credit is too great, and the difficulty is low, Wen Tianxiang doesn't want it.

"King Xie. But in this battle, the king should not entrust his courtiers. The southern expedition to the marshal position, the minister did not dare to accept it. ”

Li Luo understood Wen Tianxiang's thoughts very well, "Mr. Wen is too worried. Mr. Wen is loyal and pure, does he still care about the words of the master? The heart of the widow, Mr. should know. ”

He really didn't want to go to Annan again.

Wen Tianxiang smiled bitterly and said: "The king's heart is bright, and he is ashamed. In this way, the king did not want to conquer in person, but the minister was willing to accept the order of the southern expedition. ”

Since the king is unwilling to levy in person, and he does not care about receiving great achievements from the country, then of course he has to worry about the king.

Li Luo nodded, he had planned to send Wen Tianxiang to take command.

"Good. Then raise 100,000 troops, with Mr. as the main commander and Yang Xu as the deputy commander. Yang Xu has a handsome appearance, Mr. can mention him more. Li Luo gave the order lightly.

Wen Tianxiang's loyalty and talent are enough to be believed.

"No." Wen Tianxiang received the order, and immediately got to the point, "If the minister goes on the expedition, please ask the king to borrow two people." ”

Li Luo was stunned, he knew that with Wen Tianxiang's talent, he would definitely ask for Chen Yiji, but he didn't expect it to be two people.

Who else is there?

Could it be Aya?

"Oh? Mr. Wen wouldn't want Chen Yiji and Aye, right? Could it be that Mr. Wen wants to pick up the grass and beat the rabbits, and even collect them from Myanmar? Li Luo smiled.

"The Holy Ming has no king." Wen Tianxiang also smiled, "The Yuan Court was obsessed with conquering Burma before, isn't my Tang Dynasty inferior to the Yuan Court?" Since Burma was occupied by the Yuan army, it was simply collected. Please ask the king to increase his troops by 20,000 soldiers and horses, and send an additional lieutenant. ”

Li Luo also understood what he meant. Why do you need to add another lieutenant? It was he who was ready to take down Annan Cham and then go west to Burma with two deputy marshals, one to train the two deputy marshals, and the other to share the credit of the southern expedition.

Third, the two deputy marshals can lead the army alone and go north to attack Dali! Or deal with Zhao Chang.

It can be said that it is very thoughtful and long-term.

This is a talented national player. A simple personnel arrangement can consider the overall situation and be impeccable.

"Then let Chen Yiji and Mr. Ayasui go on the expedition. Well, Yang Xu is the left deputy marshal, and Jiang Jun is the right deputy marshal. Commander of the land division 120,000 southern expedition! The widow gave Mr. full military and political powers, and acted cheaply. ”

The monarch and ministers discussed for a long time, and after deciding on the southern expedition, Wen Tianxiang withdrew from the palace.

Then, Li Luo summoned Chen Yiji again.

After Chen Yiji surrendered to Li Luo again last year, he was snubbed by Li Luo because of his capriciousness, not only did he not have a title, he didn't even have an official position, and he didn't even summon him once. actually made him an idler in Lin'an.

This former Prince of Dayue was really very worried.

At this moment, Chen Yiji was drinking stuffy wine alone in the house, drinking and writing poems while sighing.

"It's not for Fu Shiqiang to say that I am worried, I have old sorrows full of Yuezhou. If you ask what the new sorrow looks like, the smoke and rain are cold and the rain is in autumn. ”

Another poem:

"A thousand sorrows are even more sorrowful, and sorrow is like a clear frost. Back then, he was a son, and now he is drunk in Lin'an. ”

After writing, I sighed and tears rained down.

When the former princess Mrs. Chen saw it, she was immediately angry, and said hatefully: "The year when the monarch is about to be established, he is so decadent!" Seeing the sky borrowing wine to eliminate sorrows, sitting and eating the mountains and empty mountains, how can it be good! How to get by this day! ”

Chen Yiji said angrily: "Now it's only for the people who have lost their country, the dogs who have lost their families, and they are stumbling all day long, why don't you worry?" ”

Mrs. Chen said: "Why don't you ask to see King Tang, even if you don't have a title, but entrust you with an official and a half-post, it is a hundred times stronger!" ”

"Official? Ha, haha! Chen Yiji smiled bitterly, "Then King Tang has long forgotten me, and An has an official position with me!" I'm going to beg him, and if I mess with him, I'll have to wait for my life!" ”

Mrs. Chen was furious, "Jun He is so cowardly! Duyun Tang Wang Kuanren, why did he kill the old people indiscriminately! ”

Benevolent?

Li Luo is merciful?

Chen Yiji thought it was funny when he heard it. But he didn't dare to say bad things about Li Luo, for fear of reaching Li Luo's ears.

At this moment, suddenly an old slave hurriedly ran in, "Ah Lang, there is a palace envoy from outside the door, and I want to pass Ah Lang into the palace to face the king!" I was already invited to the living room. ”

What the?

Chen Yiji's drunkenness immediately disappeared, "Let the nobles later, I will come immediately!" ”

This man was both happy and scared at this time, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. He straightened his clothes and wiped the ink off his hands.

Mrs. Chen helped him bend his hair, put on his head, put on his boots, and whispered: "Jun but indifferently, don't lose your proportion, my family is rich and noble, and they are all today." ”

Chen Yijiqiang smiled: "Madame, I should be cautious." ”

When I came to the living room, I saw a red-clothed eunuch, sitting there drinking tea.

"The nobleman came to the door, Chen was late to change his clothes, forgive his sins!" Chen Yiji hurriedly bowed.

Thinking that he was also the Prince of Dayue back then, and now he salutes a eunuch, this man feels bitter and sour in his heart.

The eunuch hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Under Qianlong, on the order of the king, Xuanchen will enter the palace outside the staff, and the staff will go down with them, for fear that the king will be in a hurry." ”

Chen Yiji does not have an official position in the Tang State, and of course he is not an outsider. The so-called extraordinary, at that time, was just an honorific title.

"Yes, yes, yes! Noble people please. Chen Yiji politely asked Qian Long to go first, and secretly handed over a tube of silver dollars, "May I ask the nobles, is the king happy or angry?" ”

Qian Long's face changed slightly, "I don't dare to say this, and I don't dare to accept it." ”

These eunuchs of Zhao and Song were dying of starvation before, and it was Li Luo who saw them pitiful after entering Lin'an, so he let them re-enter the palace as errands, so that they could have no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, Li Luo is extremely strict with the eunuchs and strictly prohibits divulging any information.

Whether the Tang King is happy or angry, he can't say. It's a leak, a big sin.

Chen Yiji smiled awkwardly, "It's under Meng Lang." ”

Soon, Chen Yiji came to the palace and entered the Lingxu Pavilion.

He and Li Luo have known each other for several years as "old friends", but when they saw Li Luo at this time, they were so nervous.

"Minister Chen Yiji, meet the king, long live the king, long live the king!" Chen Yiji immediately bowed down and kowtowed.

Hooray, hooray, hooray?

Li Luo laughed in surprise when he heard this.

This is what he said to Kublai Khan before, and later the officials of the Yuan court learned it. And Chen Yiji has also been an official of the Yuan Court, so he will also say this.

ps: It's not easy to be more than a few thousand words today, that's all, I won't say more, good night everyone. Best wishes.
