Will the Crusade fail? Li Mi did not hesitate to reject this assumption.

More than ten years ago, the first emperor ordered the Weifu army to go on an expedition to Goguryeo, and was defeated before the battle, and there were many reasons for this, and there were failure factors in the military and political affairs at that time, not only the difficulty in transporting grain and grass.

After Jinshang ascended the throne, due to the increasingly fierce contradictions in domestic politics, Goguryeo's ambition to dominate the Far East posed an increasing threat to Middle-earth, so he decided early on the plan of the Eastern Crusade. The construction of the Great Wall, the opening of canals, the western expedition to Tuyuhun, the expansion of the Western Regions, and many other important decisions were actually made in preparation for the expedition to Goguryeo. The Eastern Crusade was a war of exhaustive national strength, a war related to the fate of Middle-earth, the emperor and the reformers poured all their efforts and hopes into this, and the neutrals in the court also gave resolute support, although the conservatives tried every means to restrain it, but did not doubt the outcome of the Eastern Crusade, and had no choice but to focus on the domestic political situation, trying to hit the emperor and the central government with the chaos of the domestic situation, so this Eastern Crusade, Middle-earth occupied an absolute advantage in military, political and financial resources.

Of course, since ancient times, there has been no battle to win, and there are too many examples of capsized ships in the gutter to mention, who dares to say that this crusade will definitely return victorious? However, Li Mi had confidence in this crusade, and it was absolutely impossible to fail in this battle, at most it would be to give up halfway and return without success, but even if it was a futile, the strong national strength expressed by Middle-earth and the determination to strike ruthlessly at the enemy could still deter the northern captives, and it was completely able to achieve the strategic purpose of this labor expedition.

Li Mi believes that the crisis is caused by a radical change strategy, so in order to destroy the change, it is necessary to "secure the interior" first, while Li Fengyun believes that the crisis originates from the threat of the northern captives, and it is necessary to "seize the outside" first. In fact, the ultimate goal of both sides is the same, both are to maintain the peaceful reunification of Middle-earth, but the means are very different, one is first to secure the interior and then the outside, and the other is the opposite.

Li Fengyun and Li Mi both fell into deep thought, and there was silence in the tent.

In Li Fengyun's view, Li Mi's "Inside" strategy is nothing more than two, one is political and the other is military. What is on the government is to replace the imperial system, that is, the battle for the imperial system, which is the most convenient, economical and effective means.

At that time, the aristocratic group whose interests were damaged by the reform supported the crown prince Yang Yong and tried to change the national policy with the replacement of the imperial system, which caused a serious threat to the reforms implemented by the first emperor.

The history books attribute the deposition of the crown prince Yang Yong to a luxurious life, not obeying the teachings of the first emperor and the first emperor, and the conspiracy of Yang Guang and a group of ministers to frame him, which is purely to cover up.

The difference between a ruler and an ordinary head of family is that the ruler must not only take into account the interests of the family and the group, but also the interests of the country and the nation. If you have it in the pot, you can only have it in the bowl, and the reason is very simple.

For the supreme rulers of the first emperor and the first emperor and the queen, the stability, development, strength and continuation of the national throne from generation to generation are the most important, and in order to achieve this goal, there must be a national policy that is suitable for it, and there must be people who faithfully implement this national policy. From this, it is not difficult to deduce that the deposition of the crown prince Yang Yong has nothing to do with his extravagant life, let alone the framing of Yang Guang and Yu Chen. In the selection of heirs, it is important to have both ability and political integrity, but the most important thing is the consistency of political ideas and governing ideas. If you can't inherit my political philosophy and persist in reform according to my governing ideas, then of course you will lose your qualifications as an heir. If Yang Yong has always been consistent with the first emperor and the first emperor in terms of his governing philosophy, won the trust and support of the first emperor and the first emperor, and escorted him in politics, the position of the prince will inevitably be unbreakable, so what is his extravagance in life? What minister would dare to frame him? Even if someone conspires to calculate him, with the rich political experience of the first emperor and the first emperor, how can he turn a blind eye and listen to it? Therefore, Yang Yong's deposition and Yang Guang's ascension to the throne were planned by the first emperor, the first emperor and their loyal followers, with the purpose of inheriting and continuing their political ideas and governing ideas

After the death of Prince Yuande, Yu Chuan indefinitely delayed the establishment of a new prince. The absence of a prince in the country is a huge risk that can explode at any time, but now for the sake of reform, for the safety of the family, and in order to reduce the political turmoil as much as possible, he has gone from one extreme to the other

Now, conservative forces such as Yang Xuangan and Li Mi are taking advantage of the fatal point of "no prince in the country" to try to detonate this huge risk and deal a fatal blow to the radical reform forces that support him in politics. And to detonate this huge risk, it must be supplemented by military means.

At the beginning of the current ascendion to the throne, the youngest son of the first emperor, Yang Liang, the king of Han, staged a large-scale military coup, at that time, with the support of the conservative forces of Long, and the help of the Shandong aristocratic group, the army roared down from the north to the south, and the momentum was like a bamboo. At the critical moment, the Guanlong people saw the crisis, once the Han King Yang Liang won the imperial unity, the Shandong aristocratic group would inevitably make a comeback, which threatened the overall interests of the Guanlong aristocratic group, so the Guanlong people united unprecedentedly. The five wealthy families in Shandong, led by Cui's family, were forced to change their positions quickly, and as a result, Yang Liang, the king of Han, was defeated, and Guan Long and Shandong nobles who supported him were killed, and both were defeated.

This lesson is very bloody and cruel, no matter whether the military coup succeeds or fails, the killings brought about are shocking, and the damage to the national and ruling groups is incomparable, but for the aristocratic groups that put the interests of individuals and groups above the interests of the country and the nation, in order to protect their own interests, they don't care about the survival of the country at all, they are the masters of this world, they are the rule-makers, the dynasty can be replaced, the emperor can take turns, and all living beings are like grass mustard ants and flies are insignificant, So there is nothing in this world that they dare not do

If Yang Xuangan and Li Mi set up a new emperor with a military coup, then a civil war would inevitably break out, and once Middle-earth fell into the abyss of division, it would inevitably be powerless to resist the invasion of the Northern Captives, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

During the Yang Lang Mutiny, the fundamental reason why most of the Guanlong people and the five wealthy families in Shandong finally chose Jinshang was that the split between China and Earth would inevitably damage their vital interests, and the peaceful reunification of China and Earth was still the trend of the times. However, after securing the throne, Imagami began to carry out radical reforms, making bold moves and pointing the finger directly at vested interests, which naturally angered them. If you want to destroy us, what reason do we have to continue to support you? If the peaceful reunification of Middle-earth will only push us to the abyss of destruction, then what reason do we have to continue to maintain the peaceful reunification of Middle-earth?

Li Mi's strategy of "Annei" and the goal of destroying the reform actually represents the determination of the conservative forces in China today to oppose the reform and stick to the government of the clan of the clans, and they would rather destroy the great cause of the unification of the Middle Earth than be defeated by the reform forces and become a victim of centralized power.

The more Li Fengyun thought about it, the more thoroughly he saw it, the heavier his mood became, and the excitement and expectation when he first heard about Pushan Gong Li Mi was even more gone.

The failure of reform, the failure of the present, and the defeat of the great cause of reunification are irreversible historical trends. A unified dynasty built on the basis of a wealthy family and a gate lord clan government is like a pavilion built on gravel, which will be completely destroyed by a violent storm, so if you want to establish a solid unified dynasty, you must destroy the gate lord clan government, you must destroy the wealthy family. The trend of history clearly proves that the reform of civilization cannot destroy the clan government of the gate lords, nor can it destroy the wealthy families, and only by bloody violence and brutal killings can this arduous goal be accomplished.

In his deep thinking, Li Mi keenly showed Li Fengyun's "flaws".

Li Fengyun's views are completely contradictory to what he has done. According to Li Fengyun's point of view, it is precisely because of the strict threat of the Northern Invaders to Middle-earth that Middle-earth needs to be unified, strengthened, and reformed, so "Outside the Country" is better than "Inside the Peace". In that case, why did you, Li Fengyun, rebel? If you rebel, the situation in the country will be confused and the crisis in the country will be aggravated, and this will obviously not be conducive to "peace in the country" and still less to "fighting outside". You're just saying one thing and doing another.

However, Li Mi was not worried about this, on the contrary, he quickly found a way to convince Li Fengyun.

Aren't you going to get out of the way? But the reform has intensified the domestic contradictions, and now the internal strife is greater than the external worries, as far as you are concerned, you have rebelled, what is the point of emphasizing "fighting outside"? So now it is more important for you to be "inside" than "outside".

I am anxious to "Annei" now, and you are also anxious to "Annei", then we cooperate, we will join forces to overthrow the emperor and the radical reformers, destroy the change, so as to alleviate the sharp contradictions in the country, alleviate the domestic crisis, and then you will become the hero of the new dynasty and the new emperor like me, and then we will emphasize the "outside", and then go to conquer the northern captives, it will have practical significance, otherwise it is meaningless empty talk.

"Why did the general rebel?" Li Mi broke the silence in the tent and opened his mouth to question Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun didn't speak, he was still looking for his way forward in contemplation. The purpose of his rebellion is to try to save thousands of innocent lives, for this he needs to be strong quickly, he needs to be quick to dominate, and he needs to use the domestic contradictions to win the support of the aristocratic group to the greatest extent, but in this way he cannot change the historical trajectory, Middle-earth will still fall into the abyss of division and war, and thousands of innocent people will still die in the war.

"What is the purpose of the general's rebellion?" Li Mi continued to ask, "Is it to overthrow the emperor and save the common people?" Or overthrow the country and compete for hegemony? ”

Li Fengyun suddenly looked up at Li Mi, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly made a decision in his heart.

Why was he excited when he heard Pushan Gong Li Mi? Because I saw hope. What is the hope? It is the hope of saving innocent people. But why do I doubt Li Mi now, especially after hearing Li Mi's views, I feel disappointed and frustrated? It is because he has become greedy, and his ideal is obviously to save innocent people, but he has unknowingly fallen into the abyss of hegemony, and completely ignores the reality that thousands of innocent people will die miserably in division and war.

"Isn't the general very contradictory?" Li Mi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The general raised the banner to rebel in the name of saving the common people, but in fact, he secretly harbored the ambition of the great bird and wanted to build a great cause of hegemony, but his strength was too weak, the future was dark, and he was at a loss. ”

Li Fengyun shook his head, "I just want to save innocent people, but the reality is very cruel, and I am afraid that it will backfire." Pu Shangong's sudden appearance gave a certain great hope. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Change of Emperor."

The smile on Li Mi's face suddenly froze, and he was terrified in his heart, and he was even more inexplicably afraid of Li Fengyun. Does this person know my secrets?
