Chapter 558: Peace for All Generations (6)
Zhang Li glanced at Ruo Chen meaningfully, and then said, "Is the Han Dynasty strong?" The last emperor Han Xian suffered a misery, you must also know ......"
Without waiting for Ruochen to react, Zhang Zhang continued: "Is the Tang Dynasty strong?" Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty was killed by Zhu Wen of the Later Liang and cut off the ......"
"The late Emperor of the Song Dynasty was carried by Lu Xiufu and jumped into the sea—"
"Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty...... Well, I saw his suicide with my own eyes—"
……
Zhang Zhang told the last emperors in history one by one, coupled with Li Laoer's Xuanwumen change and the Jingjing Battle of this dynasty, Ruochen said that the flowers were discolored.
In the end, Zhang Zhang seemed to sigh with emotion: "How can there be an immortal country in this world?" However, he suddenly changed his words and said confidently: "I will build a country that will not perish, and of course, our descendants can enjoy all the glory and wealth, but they will not be able to hold real power." ”
Ruo Chen's mouth was wide open, how could she accept such a large amount of information for a while? The last emperors that Zhang Zhang said were indeed in a bleak situation, and what did he mean by the "immortal country" in the end?
Zhang Li can't continue to explain the obscure words "constitutional", now is not the time, he still has decades to change slowly, these things will come naturally in the future, there is no need to rush for a while.
For republics and constitutional monarchies, tension is currently leaning towards the latter, because it is the choice of history. In the seventeenth century, even in Europe, it was only England that started the constitutional monarchy.
Washington? That was the people and things hundreds of years later, the so-called time has changed, and at that time. I believe that future generations will be able to make choices that are more in line with the times - but for now, the tension will not be too ambitious. The end of feudal society was the greatest goal.
One person can change an era, just like these things that Zhang Li is doing now. But it can't be divorced from the times.
Just as Newton could discover gravity, but he couldn't discover Einstein's theory of relativity;
Watt could invent the steam engine, but not the computer;
Edison could have invented the electric light, but he couldn't have invented the mobile phone;
Motorola could have invented the first mobile phone, but it couldn't invent Steve Jobs' Apple smartphone......
Besides, is a constitutional monarchy necessarily worse than a republic? Not necessarily. Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden are obviously much stronger than India, Afghanistan, Somalia......
The current situation can only lead to a constitutional monarchy, which is relatively reliable in this era, rather than a republic.
This is a major issue of right and wrong, and Zhang Li has long had a firm belief. Besides. Brother is not a living Lei Feng, and the descendants enjoy a little "symbolic" head of state treatment, which is also good......
Zhang Zhang babbled with Ruochen about many advantages of "constitutional monarchy", the most important point is that children and grandchildren have a very high status, food and clothing, and if there are outstanding people, they can also do a career.
Of course, the last big killer of tension is Princess Changping. Princess Changping has always been by Ruochen's side, talking about those Han Xian Emperors. At the end of the Song Dynasty, she couldn't empathize, but after the death of the country, Princess Changping's tragic experience of losing her loved ones at a young age completely convinced Ruochen. This is a vivid example.
"Your Excellency—both the Governor of Lu and the Governor of the High Governor have an urgent military report!"
Just as Zhang Zhang was about to change the topic and talk to Ruochen Qingqing and me, Kang Xing'an's anxious voice came from outside.
Ruochen saw a military report coming. So he got up and took his leave. Seeing that Ruochen had already left, Zhang Zhang said to Kang Xing'an: "Anzi, present it!" ”
Kang Xingan bowed. After seeing the housewife Ruochen leave, she walked into the flower hall with two military reports.
"How. Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Yuanliangjun arrived at the same time? Zhang Zhang took the military report handed over by Kang Xing'an and read it carefully.
Kang Xingan stood aside. "Yes, sir," he whispered. ”
After the Tuanshan Army entered the Beijing Division, Zhang Li's troops were divided into two routes, Gao Yuanliang led 30,000 people to the north to Shenyang, and Lu Xiangsheng led 30,000 people to Huguang south.
Of course, this is the main force of 30,000 - that is, the modern troops, because it is impossible for the Tuanshan Fort Workshop to replace all the armies with advanced rifled guns for a while and a half, so the Tuanshan Army also has a large number of old arquebuses and cold weapons, and the total number of these people exceeds 200,000.
One is a new soldier, and the other is a soldier who was attached to the Ming Dynasty, Dashun, and Mongolia.
China is so big, and in fact, tens of thousands of people can occupy it all? In the era of transition, it is inevitable that the elite main force can be combined with a large number of ordinary soldiers to dominate the world.
If the army only uses elite troops, then for every city occupied, it will have to divide thousands of troops, and it is impossible for the Tuanshan army to launch any offensive at all, and it will be overstretched to even defend the royal place.
At present, Gao Yuanliang of the Northern Group has 30,000 elite soldiers and more than 70,000 ordinary soldiers, and Lu Xiangsheng of the Southern Group is also roughly this number. The north and the south went to war at the same time in an effort to speed up the process of national reunification.
The main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was the most difficult to fight, had been crippled by tension, and it was impossible for either Tartar or Wu Sangui to confront the Tuanshan army. If nothing else, as soon as the Tuanshan Army started the battle, the dense artillery was completely incomprehensible.
Sure enough, the two military reports were successful - Gao Yuanliang's army had conquered Liaoyang and was currently besieging Shenyang City; And Lu Xiangsheng of the Southern Group was a little more complicated, and they blocked Wu Sangui's main force in Wuchang City, Hubei.
"Wen Tiren ......" Zhang Li's eyes deepened, chewing on this name that was too familiar to be familiar word by word.
It turned out that Wen Tiren ran away to Nanjing before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he would lead the army to King Qin after raising military salaries. The military salary was raised, and tens of thousands of soldiers were pulled out, but when the Beijing division was in danger, Wen Tiren retreated in Nanjing City and never went north.
Later, Wu Sangui led his troops into Hubei, and when he was about to cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River, Wen Tiren ordered his generals to lead the troops to defend the Yangtze River, and Wu Sangui was not allowed to enter the south of the Yangtze River for half a step.
Wu Sanguikong had an army of more than 100,000 troops, but there was no sailor, how could he cross the river to fight?
Presumably, Wen Tiren saw Wu Sangui's wolf ambitions, so he resolutely refused to allow him to cross the river - this was equivalent to helping the Tuanshan army from the side, so that Wu Sangui had nowhere to escape.
Jiangnan people are outstanding people, and the impact of natural and man-made disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not great, unlike the northern provinces, Zhang Li is very reluctant Jiangnan is also broken.
Wen Tiren sent the document and asked for it to be attached. Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he called the report......" Zhang Zhang glanced at Kang Xingan meaningfully, and said lightly.
Kang Xing'an showed a look of contempt in his eyes, and replied angrily: "Wen Tiren, that old thief, is not a good person!" (To be continued.) )
