Chapter 505: Hiding the Wealth from the People
Zhang Zhang still took a sea boat from Ningyuan Zhongyou to Gunsan Port in Korea, and then changed to a horse-drawn carriage to Seoul. This time, Li Li did not bring Li Dingguo, because Li Dingguo is currently the captain of the Marine Corps, and he is training soldiers in Ningyuan Zhongright, preparing for the future war.
Walking with Zhang Zhang on the carriage was the "chief of staff" Kang Xing'an, and there was a small stove in the carriage with a charcoal fire burning in it. It's spring now, the weather is not as cold as winter, and the main function of this stove is to boil water.
After a long journey, drinking a cup of hot tea at any time can often get rid of the fatigue of the body. At this moment, Kang Xing'an used the sleep he had just boiled to make a cup of tea for Zhang Li, who was sitting in the car, and then handed it to Zhang Li's hand: "My lord, the water is boiling, you can drink a cup of hot tea." ”
Zhang Lizheng was thinking about something a little distractedly, and heard Anzi's words in his ears, so he turned his head to look at him and took the hot tea. Zhang Li blew the tea slightly, and after taking a sip, he put the teacup on the small table in the carriage.
There is a teacup holder on the table, which plays the role of fixing the cup, but there is no need to worry about the tea splashing due to the bumps in the carriage. Zhang Zhang touched his nose and said to Anzi: "Anzi, Li Dingguo is now the captain of the Marine Corps, and you have to look up to him." ”
Kang Xingan smiled and responded: "My lord, that kid from Dingguo is quite talented in military affairs, and Anzi and I can't catch up with eight horses!" ”
Zhang Zhang snorted and laughed out loud, Xindao Anzi is still a little self-aware, so if Li Dingguo hadn't opened a plug-in for hundreds of years, how could he "know people"?
Thinking of this, Zhang Li sighed softly. His expression became a little solemn. In fact, from the deepest part of my heart, whether it is Lu Xiangsheng. Or Li Dingguo, or the current Haizhou Bingbei Dao Yan Yingyuan. They are not indispensable figures in the Tuanshan Army. Recruit them to your command, and the main thing is that a kind of time-traveling plot is affecting you.
They are tragic, honorable, and deplorable in history - since they are here, no matter what, they have to make some changes......
Just when Zhang Zhang sighed, Anzi spoke: "My lord, are you thinking about something important?" ”
Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, and took his thoughts back. Shaking his head, he said, "It's not a big deal." ”
Kang Xing'an asked in a low voice: "My lord, when I talked about Dingguo just now, there is something unclear among my subordinates, and I hope that my lord will give me advice." ”
Zhang Li bowed his head slightly and said, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask directly." ”
Kang Xing'an straightened his throat and asked, "My lord asked Dingguo to train the sailors and marines, saying that he was going to attack the Japanese state, but this matter is only known to our high-level leaders. However, not long ago, the art troupe of Tuanshan Fort arranged an excerpt play, which was played as a matter of the Japanese invaders in the southeast during the Jiajing period. Later, some interested people read it. There was a faint speculation that the adults were going to use troops against the Japanese country. Now the people of Liaodong are quite confused, one is that the Wa Kingdom and our Ming Dynasty are separated by the sea, which is far less dangerous than Jiannu; Second, the Wa State is a country that Emperor Taizu Gao set not to levy. Some people even commented that the adults were a bit reckless......"
When Zhang Li heard Anzi's words, his brows furrowed tightly. In the territory of the Tuanshan Army, as long as it is not out of subjective malice. It basically adheres to the system of "the speaker is not guilty". Zhang Li is still more open to the freedom of public opinion, because society is to progress. It must not be too "one-worded". This is also one of the measures of the gradual improvement of the social system by the tension, after all, if you want to make the industrial revolution. It is still necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of all people, and we must not "all the horses are sad and sad."
It is also true that the soldiers and civilians of Tuanshan Fort are far less hated by the Japanese than the people of later generations. More than 100 years have passed since the Jiajing Year is now the Chongzhen Year, and Liaodong is separated by thousands of miles from the southeast coast, and ordinary people have no ancestral relatives who died in the Japanese rebellion.
The Tuanshan Army is now fighting on many fronts, and it is really not appropriate to have more rights and wrongs. At this juncture, it is necessary to go on an expedition to the Japanese country, and it is no wonder that some people feel that the tension is "reckless".
Zhang Li thought for a moment, and said to Kang Xing'an, who had a puzzled look: "Anzi, let me tell you some truths, you have to understand it well." ”
Anzi immediately sat upright and pricked up her ears to listen.
Zhang Zhang sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said: "As the so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, now Tuanshan Fort is thriving on the surface, but in fact it is hiding a huge danger, do you know what it is?" ”
Kang Xing'an was even more puzzled: the Tuanshan Army has won many battles, the limelight is strong, and the territory has expanded countless times compared to the beginning, why does Master Zhang say that Tuanshan Fort is very dangerous? In everyone's hearts, Master Zhang is the next person to dominate the world, how can there be any danger?
Kang Xingan shook his head and frowned: "My lord, my regiment's mountain army is invincible and invincible, and my subordinates really can't see where the danger is." ”
Zhang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Foundation." ”
"Foundation?" Anzi exclaimed, looked at Zhang Li with incredible eyes, and then lowered his head and began to ponder the meaning of the word "foundation".
Zhang Zhang took a sip of tea and explained unhurriedly: "When I say foundation, I probably mean foundation. What is the general strategy of internal affairs pursued by our Tuanshan Fort? You answer me. ”
Without thinking, Anzi blurted out: "My lord has mentioned countless times that the highest goal of our Tuanshan Fort is to hide wealth from the people. ”
Zhang Zhang nodded, and said, "That's right!" Hiding wealth from the people is my lifelong pursuit. The country is rich and the people are poor, what is the use of being rich? Every musket, every cannon, and even every warship made by our mountain army is currently made with the people's fat and people's ointment -- this is not what I want. ”
Without waiting for Anzi to react, Zhang Zhang continued: "The Great Han Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be described as prosperous and powerful for a while. However, the wars launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although they were also like the Tuanshan Army, won many battles, but in the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deeply regretted it in his twilight years and made an unprecedented edict against himself. ”
Zhang Zhang said that this happened in the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (89 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced to the people of the world: he had caused suffering to the people, and he would no longer be reckless, work hard and lose money, and even confess his inner remorse. This is the "Luntai Guilty Edict". This edict was the first imperial edict in Chinese history.
Anzi has been studying diligently all these years, so he naturally knows it, so he nodded again and again: "That's true." My lord, do you mean that you want to take Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a ring, and do less in the future? (To be continued.) )
