Chapter 101: On Matters
After listening to Master Li's promise to him, Li Ren had already made a plan in his heart. He smiled and looked at the anxious Master Li, and finally said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Suddenly, this Master Li stood up and knelt on the ground in front of Liren, who originally wanted to enjoy the feeling of being bowed down by foreigners, but looked at many Zhancheng people around him stupidly looking at himself and others. Liren immediately pretended to help this Master Li and said, "Lord Li doesn't need to be like this, you will be the king of Zhancheng in the future, if you bow down to me like this, your people will definitely not be too convinced of you." ”
After Lord Li was helped up by Liren, with an excited smile, he hurriedly pulled his daughter in front of him and said to Liren: "Lord Angel, the minister has only had this daughter for more than ten years, and I will hand it over to Lord Angel today, and ask Lord Angel to treat her kindly." ”
The girl saw that her father, who usually loved her, had given herself away, and she was a little unhappy that she had not slept at night, but her father's fate was difficult to disobey, and she only walked timidly to Liren's side. But fortunately, the person in front of him is not very old, and he is one or two years older than himself, but this person's appearance and other aspects meet his earliest expectations, thinking of this, the girl's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she looked at Liren with shyness.
Li Ren looked at the girl in front of him that Lord Li gave him, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but now that he had just cooperated, at least he couldn't make this Lord Li sad, so he smiled.
Mr. Fang, who was beside Liren, had already changed into his own Confucian clothes, and after watching the negotiation between Liren and Li, he was now thinking about what kind of medicine Guogong was selling? Why did the original plan to completely occupy the small country of Champa now turn into helping others ascend to the throne, doesn't the prince want this small country anymore?
After most of these people were full of wine and food, Rihito returned to his battleship with his own guards and the hundred and ten maidens sent by Lord Lee.
Although the soldiers on the battleship are usually afraid of military law, they have not seen a woman for a long time, and they all look directly at these southern girls in front of them, although they cannot be called beautiful, but they are still beautiful.
Li Ren just understood it in his heart, haha burst into laughter, and the soldiers who laughed were red and red-eared, and then ordered: "These girls will be the reserve nurses on our battleship in the future, if you perverts dare to use any crooked brains, be careful that I interrupt your little brother." Speaking of this, at this time, Bing Danzi suddenly lowered his head in fear, and Li Ren looked at the performance of some people at this time, nodded and said: "However, if anyone likes them, then you can win their favor openly." But one thing to remember, those who already have wives are out of the way for me, and those who don't have wives can be in the ranks of pursuit. Also, no one is allowed to overlord to bow hard, if anyone dares, I will personally handle the knife and castrate him~! ”
Li Ren's initial words, these soldiers heard it, and the people behind him personally did it, but none of these happy soldiers heard it. Rihito shook his head with a wry smile and sighed before asking his soldiers to take the girls to the doctor.
Back in the cabin, Fang Ning frowned at this time and asked, "Why did Guogong do this, don't you want our army's military law?" In this time of war, if the soldiers fight for a woman, what will happen to this military law in the future? ”
Li Ren didn't think about it and said directly: "I haven't thought about these things, but as long as we have military law, don't we care about the needs of the soldiers?" Now depending on the situation, Mr. Fang, you may have to stay here for several years, and the same is true for these soldiers, if you cut off their thoughts, it will be easier said than done, alas, I have no way to do it, but well, we can promulgate a new military law tomorrow, so that they can't get out of this circle, so that we don't have to worry about it anymore. Besides, with these girls in the future, these young lads can be diligent. ”
When Fang Ning was speaking, his head was also turned straight, thinking about it, it was really possible for the Duke of the Kingdom to use this method, so he could only nod helplessly and agree.
"Hehe, that's right, men and women are not tired of working together, it seems that Mr. Fang is still very open-minded." Rihito said jokingly at this time.
Fang Ning's face turned red, and after sitting down, the fragrant tea that came up from the estuary guards said, "My lord, I want to ask you at the party today, why do you want to turn the occupation into an auxiliary?" ”
Li Ren had long known that Fang Ning was going to ask this question, so he walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and said, "Mr. Fang, what inconvenience do you feel when you come here?" ”
"Inconvenience?" Fang Ning thought about it honestly and said: "That is, the language is not comprehensible, it is inconvenient to speak and communicate, and there is no other inconvenience." ”
"Yes, it's just that the language barrier makes it inconvenient to speak and communicate." "That's why I'm going to change my strategy and turn the crackdown into a supplement," he said. ”
"Oh? Isn't it just that the language is different? Can't we use translation and just exterminate it? "Mr. Fang doesn't understand, isn't this like a war in the Central Plains?
"Mr. Fang, let me ask you, what would you do if you were walking down the street after occupying the entire Champa and someone was talking about the restoration of the country next to you?" Li Ren looked at Fang Ning and asked.
"I will definitely arrest him immediately and put him on trial." Fang Ning replied directly.
"And what if you don't understand their language?" Rihito asked again.
"Get a portable interpreter and let him listen." Fang Ning said.
At this time, Li Ren said a little funny: "When you find a portable translator, they will immediately change their words, will they still let you hear it?" ”
"This, this?" Fang Ning also fell into his own misunderstanding at this time.
Li Ren smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Fang, do you know why Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo seven times, but finally came back with a failure?" ”
"I still know a lot about this in the history books, because Emperor Yang of Sui was too violent and killed too many Goryeo, which caused the group to rebel and finally return with a feather." Fang Ning still knew what was recorded in the history books.
"Let me ask you again, why did the Yue Li Dynasty, which is closest to Zhancheng, break away from the Central Plains several times?" Rihito asked again.
"This?" Fang Ning really couldn't explain the key to the middle, but he still found something at this time and said: "The main reason is that the distance is too far, and the rule of the previous dynasties over Vietnam is not enough, which has led to the rebellion of many generals in Vietnam." ”
Li Ren still smiled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Fang, what you said is only a small part of it, and the main reason is that you still haven't found it. ”
Fang Ning thought about Liren's meaning and then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Could it be that Guogong is talking about the reason for language?" ”
At this time, Li Ren nodded and said: "Yes, it is the reason for language, because every civilization has its own unique language, and foreign races do not know their language, so it forms a two-skin effect with them." On the surface they dare not resist you, but in private they have their own circle, and this circle is inaccessible to peoples of different languages. Just like the Jin Kingdom and the current Northern Yuan Dynasty, they are all different in language from our Han people, and their cultures naturally have their own sets. Look at the Han Chinese in their ruling area, almost everyone is revolting. And when the emperor of the Han people was in power, even if everyone didn't have enough to eat, there were not many people who rebelled against him, and only in the end the people of the whole country couldn't survive, so there was the so-called revelation. ”
Fang Ning was thinking about things thoughtfully at this time, and Li Ren continued: "A nation has its own language and culture, and when their language and culture are all the same, when someone rules them together, can the maximum extension of dominance be guaranteed. If it's different, hehe, no matter what method is adopted, there will be clowns who jump off the beam from time to time and say that so-and-so is the aggressor, and we must drive them out. ”
"Language, culture?" Fang Ning seemed to understand a little at this time, raised his head and asked Li Ren, "Then how should we treat Zhancheng now?" ”
"My main purpose is not just to occupy the city, but to conquer the southern wilderness countries. Now the only way to unite them is to let them know each other, people who speak the same language, and when we need them, I will slowly consume their population and troops, and then unify their language and culture, and finally we will rule the region. There was a burst of ambition in Liren's eyes, and Fang Ning, who was illuminating, was also surging in his heart.
Fang Ning asked at this time: "Could it be that Guogong is sure that the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to support it for many years?" ”
"Da Song Now you know better than me, as long as those corrupt people in the court do not fall, those landlords and powerful people below will sooner or later collude with foreign clans for the sake of family interests." Li Ren was also worried at this time, because his brother-in-law was still in the capital as an emperor. He knew that if the elite of the Northern Yuan Dynasty only returned from the west, then it would be the day of the real demise of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Can they risk the death of the country to collude with those foreigners?" What Mr. Fang heard now surprised him immensely.
Li Ren's face was pale for a while at this time, and he immediately said: "These people are simply mercenary, and they only have their own or their family's interests in their hearts, and there is no country and nation at all. So for them, as long as you can give them enough benefits, you are their master. ”
"Yes, the several reforms of the Great Song Dynasty were the most difficult struggle with these landlords and heroes, and in the end they lost under their unity." Now that Fang Ning has figured it out, he has a feeling. But he just didn't understand why the lord was so sure that the Great Song Dynasty was going to perish, and then said: "Why is the lord so sure? ”
"Hehe, this is a prophecy given to me by my master, he is already a man among the gods." Li Ren made up a lie and deceived Fang Ning's questioning.
