Chapter Twenty-Six: The Confidant Ma Sui
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and as the saying goes, when a night owl enters the house, nothing will come. Ma Sui came to find him late at night, naturally there was something wrong.
Xiao Quzhi was also very curious, he knew that Ma Sui was one of the three famous generals of the Tang Dynasty after Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi in the previous time and space. He has fought countless battles in his life, and he has never lost a battle. Moreover, since the large-scale military training, Xiao Qubing has also deliberately observed this person. Among all the more than 120 recruited rangers or hot-blooded youths, he was one of the few who never screamed bitterly or tired from beginning to end.
In addition, his physical fitness and personal comprehension ability are also the best among more than 2,000 people, and he also has a good opinion on training troops. Many of the details of the training drill code he formulated were perfected because of his opinions, and in the end, he also learned to be obedient, and if he had any ideas, he went directly to him to discuss without waiting for his opinions.
In this regard, Xiao Qubing also had to sigh that a famous general is a famous general, and some people are born to be generals. For example, this Ma Sui has an extraordinary background. It is said that the ancestor is Zhao Fujun Zhao (that is, Zhao Kuo's father), and some of his descendants have their surnames as their surnames. Ma Yuan, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ma Teng, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, are also their family.
He didn't know that Ma Sui also sighed, General Xiao is really an unborn general, such a wonderful training method and system can be imagined, according to this method of training, why worry about not being the strongest army in the world. Of course, he didn't know that this was actually the crystallization of human wisdom over the past thousand years, especially in modern times.
However, these two people, who were both talented and prodigies in each other's eyes, were now staring at each other with big eyes, just looking at each other and not talking.
In order to avoid the atmosphere from developing in a bad direction, Xiao Quzhi decided to speak first and send him out as soon as possible, so as not to let others think that he likes men.
"Xunmei, come to me so late, why don't you tell me if you have something?" Xiao Quai's illness got straight to the point: "Do you have any opinions on training methods?" ”
Ma Sui's eyes lit up, and he shook his head: "The general's training method is rare in the world, and it is already extremely clever, where can Sui have any opinions." ”
Xiao Quzhi wondered: "Then what are you looking for me?" ”
"Sui has been thinking about what the general told us at night." Ma Sui said slowly: "You said the responsibility of a soldier, the honor of a soldier; You say that a soldier should serve the country, and when the society is in trouble, the soldier should be the first to sacrifice and die; You also said that you want to serve the country with this length, why should you be born in the Jade Gate Pass, saying that you will donate your body to go to the country, and you will see death as if you were going home. But general, do you know that Sheji is in trouble, but it is not outside the Yumen Pass, but in Hebei. ”
Xiao Quzhi was shocked, boy, you won't also come through here, right? But he still said quietly: "Hebei has the king of Dongping County guarding the town, what can happen?" ”
Ma Sui said: "The general has been to the land of Hebei. ”
Xiao Quzhi shook his head: "My experience has told you, I have only been to Chang'an in the Anxi River. What's wrong with Hebei? ”
Of course, Xiao Quzhi knew that there was a problem with An Lushan in Hebei, but he also wanted to know how the contemporary Tang people viewed this problem.
Ma Sui's voice came out slowly: "General, you have been to Hebei, but I have been, and I have stayed for a year." The land of Hebei is completely different from Guanzhong, Henan Province, and Longyou Lingnan Road. The people there don't speak Tang Yin, they wear all kinds of Hu clothes, they don't practice education, and the customs and habits of the people there are completely different from those in the Guanzhong area of the Central Plains.
The general may not know, for example, although there are Hu people in Chang'an, Han people still account for the majority, and there are also many Hu people in Chang'an who learn the etiquette and education of our Han people, and regard themselves as Tang people in their hearts, such as An Baozhen, who is often praised by you in the team. Although he is a Hu man, in addition to his appearance, other places, especially in his heart, are the same as ordinary Tang people.
Hebei, on the other hand, is completely different, where the Han Chinese are in the minority, and the Hu people are more than twice as large as the Han people. And most importantly, the etiquette and education of those Hu people who do not learn to appearance. I only know that I am brave and ruthless, and the eagle is gone. Suiguan these Hebei Hu people, in their hearts, may not think of themselves as Tang people. For example, many of the Turkic Hu in Hebei want to revive the Turks; Another example is the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, they only pursue interests, insidious and cunning drill camps everywhere, once there is chaos in the society, this will be chaos; Another example is that the Khitan Hu and Xi Hu are both brave and plundering, just like wild wolves, once they are hungry, they will burst out and hurt people.
It can be said that for decades, almost all the land of Hebei has been a place outside the country. The Hu people and the Han people in Hebei are even more hostile to each other, and they have always been peaceful. And now it is a Hu person who rules Jiedu Hebei, and the Hu people in the Hebei army account for the majority, which is a sign of great chaos. ”
Xiao Qu was stunned, he only knew that An Lushan would rebel, and after coming to Chang'an, he also inadvertently ran into An Lushan during the Spring Festival, and took the opportunity to be close to him and directly killed him with dark energy (he slowly died after more than ten days of dark energy). But I really don't know that there is this kind of problem in Hebei, there are more Hu people than Han people, and all of them are not educated, do not read, do not read, fly eagles every day, fight bravely, and are hostile to the local Han people!
In this way, even if he secretly killed An Lushan, this problem in Hebei still exists. When the time comes, if a Han general does not go along with them, he will not be able to control the field, and a Hu general will be promoted to replace An Lushan, and the situation will remain the same. This unstable factor, the trouble of the heart still exists, but it is really difficult to deal with it.
Xiao Quzhi's eyes widened: "How can there be so many Hu people in Hebei?" ”
"After Sui arrived in Hebei, he was also secretly frightened, so he made a look." Ma Sui smiled bitterly and said: "This matter has to start with the previous dynasty, the former dynasty Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times, and the most people who died were the Han people of Hebei. After that, there were Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin in Hebei who were enemies of my Tang Dynasty, and after their destruction, the people of Hebei were ten rooms and nine empty. After Taizong destroyed the Eastern Turks, Taizong adopted the suggestion of Wen Yanbo, the Zhongshu Ling, and moved more than 100,000 of their tribes to the vicinity of Youzhou, Hebei. After that, Tongluo, Khitan, Xi and Murwei also migrated to the northern part of Hebei Province. Over the past 100 years, this has become such a situation. ”
Xiao Quzhi couldn't help but shake his head, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was too broad-minded, so broad that he was a little dizzy. Xiao Quzhi seems to remember what he said: "Since ancient times, they have all been noble China, cheap and cheap, and I love them as one, so their species are all dependent on me like parents." ”
To tell the truth, Xiao Quzhi agrees with and admires this idea of equality of all nationalities. But only if they have the same love for the country, a centripetal force for the country, a cultural similarity or a kinship with you. But like Li Shimin, put other ethnic groups that do not have a sense of centripetal force and identity in their heart, and they don't need to be educated to change them, so that they can always maintain the original state of being unkind to you. also keeps saying that love is the same, which I simply don't know how to describe.
In fact, Tang Taizong Li Shimin can be said to have been too good for these Turkic tribes who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, giving them a good land with a pleasant climate and abundant products, and not wanting them to bear taxes like the Han people who organized their households, and also protected their safety and the stability of their lives. Is there anything better in the world than this? But how did these Turkic tribes who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty repay Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty?
During the period when Tang Taizong was strong and Tang Gaozong went to military glory, these Turkic tribes were also honest. However, later during the Gaozong period, he suffered several defeats in Tubo in a row, and his strength was greatly damaged, so didn't these Turkic tribes immediately rebel? After their establishment, the Turks have been plagued by the Tang Dynasty for 60 years.
This is enough to prove that these (most) Hu people are wolf ambitions, have no loyalty and gratitude, and can only fear power, not virtue. Unexpectedly, after suffering such a big loss, the Tang Dynasty did not reflect at all, and continued to pursue this policy of not incivilizing and loving each other if it is different. This heart is really big!
It's like a wolf domesticated into a dog can become good friends with humans and live in harmony, but in the Tang Dynasty, wolves were directly introduced into the house without domestication, and then let them live with their families and children, and they simply didn't know how to write dead characters.
Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly: "I heard you tell your nephew that the world will soon be in chaos, but that's what you mean?" ”
Ma Sui looked surprised and said, "How did the general know?" ”
"I'm a good hearing, I heard it by accident." Xiao Qu said that when there is no one else, you have to say it at least seven or eight times a day, and asked me how do you know? He smiled and said, "If so, what do you think should be?" ”
Ma Sui was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Sui thinks that it is good to increase the Anxi army by 20,000 troops. However, the Anxi army is too remote, and now the Central Plains is empty, and the general is not only favored by His Majesty, but also well versed in the method of military training. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to train an elite army in Guanzhong or the Central Plains. ”
After a pause, he took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision: "I mean, I don't want to go to Anxi. And I suggested to the general that dozens of the more than 100 rangers should not let them go to Anxi, but stay with the general. Once there is a change, we can calm the world. I'm sure that An Lushan will be rebelled in less than five years! ”
Xiao Quzhi made a silent gesture and whispered: "Don't talk about what you say to others again, I have also adopted your suggestion, and we will start preparing now to train the army." "But in my heart, I was saying that the outstanding ones among these rangers, Lao Tzu didn't plan to leave it to the Anxi Army, and there was no war in a short period of time.
Ma Sui's eyes lit up, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden, so he stood up suddenly, bowed down and said excitedly: "From now on, Sui is willing to die for the general, and I only want Sui to fight the vanguard when the time comes." ”
Xiao Quzhi was also very excited, as a traveler, he stood at the height of history to see many things so clearly. This kid can still have such foresight in the midst of it, in addition to Li Sheng, he has another military henchman. In other words, Li Sheng should have received Li Longji's will and set off from Shibao City to Chang'an.
ps: The plot is not very good-looking during this time, but the foreshadowing and explanation of the background are almost finished, and the following plot will speed up a lot, and the story should be better. Well, it seems that there are still two chapters missing, so try to make up for it. Another request for recommendation votes and collections, although I still owe two chapters, but I want to say, I'm really not lazy.
