Chapter Ninety-Two: Longzhong vs. Four
Sun Chengzong was very happy that the Emperor of the Apocalypse could listen to it, so he continued: "Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, established the Han Dynasty and divided his son as the prince and king. When such a system was first established in the world, it did not expose any shortcomings, but as time went by, the princes and kings became more and more likely to lose their tails. ”
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse listened carefully, Sun Chengzong was more interested in going on, and said with great interest: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che ascended the throne at the age of sixteen", saying that here Sun Chengzong glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this young son of heaven in front of him is the same, but I don't know if the person in front of him will have the actions of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Sun Chengzong continued: "Before this, the Han Dynasty had six emperors. Although Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing were rare wise emperors, they left some family background for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Sun Chengzong couldn't help but lament that the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were different here, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne at the age of sixteen like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his last two generations were not wise emperors.
However, the entire Han Dynasty was still precarious, and there were vassal kings inside, and the representative of them was Liu An, the king of Huainan. Externally, there were powerful Xiongnu in the north, and the Xiongnu at that time had 600,000 armored soldiers and could fight well. In the south, there is Baekgool, which is in turmoil from time to time, in the east, Goguryeo, which consists of Korea, Baekje, and Silla, and in the west, there are Green Ridge and big names. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, although the whole world was stable, it was also an internal and external trouble. After so many years of consideration, Sun Chengzong found that there were many similarities between the Ming Dynasty and the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The same external troubles, although there is no rebellion of the vassal kings internally, but the party strife above the court is serious, and the local officials are incompetent, which can be said to be more than enough.
These words are even more different when he hears them in the ears of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he knows the history, and knows that the next few years of the Ming Dynasty can be described as a continuous natural disaster. The Huai River flood and the severe drought in Shaanxi are all very thorny problems.
In the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong was setting a goal for himself and setting an example. He told the Emperor of the Apocalypse that the Ming Dynasty at this time was very similar to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and that the Emperor of the Apocalypse could become an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Sir, I know all of this, can I ask Mr. to get straight to the point?" Sun Chengzong's thoughts, Emperor Tianqi naturally understood, but he was not a sixteen-year-old child. There is no need to set up this idol, his goal is very ambitious.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chengzong knew that he was wrong, this majesty was not just a sixteen-year-old child. Now it seems that he is quite a wise man, and he has lofty ideals and ambitions.
"It's Your Majesty", glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with some apologies, Sun Chengzong continued: "What the minister wants to say is about the problem of military strength, the Han Dynasty back then, the Han army and the Xiongnu army were very different. Although the Han Dynasty's army was large in number, it had no advantage when fighting the Xiongnu. Although it was defended by the city pass, it was broken through by the Huns every time and killed and plundered the population. ”
Stretching out his hand and pointing to the map, Sun Chengzong continued: "This is somewhat similar to the situation of my Ming Dynasty, there are Mongols in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and there are Houjin people in the east, which are equivalent to the Huns." My Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has a lot of things worth learning from the strategy of the Xiongnu. ”
"Although the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols are safe for the time being, this is not a long-term matter, just to deal with Houjin. There are three forces on the entire battlefield, the first is my Daming, the second is Houjin, and the third is the Mongols. Glancing at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong continued: "Your Majesty, let me say that the composition of the military forces of the three parties is different. The Mongols and Houjin were mainly cavalry, which could quickly penetrate outside the fortress and attack the borders of our Ming Dynasty at will. The border of my Ming Dynasty is very long, and it is impossible to defend everything. ”
"The Ming army is mainly infantry, but the infantry is not conducive to fighting outside the fortress, and the vast grassland outside the fortress is very suitable for cavalry galloping. Therefore, my Ming army can only defend in the city, so that we are inherently weak. After each war, even if Houjin was able to be repulsed, or even suffered heavy casualties, but with the help of the stolen slaves and livestock, Houjin could quickly recover, and Daming was tired of coping. Sighing softly, Sun Chengzong was also a little helpless in his heart, how many years have he had such thoughts, but who wants to listen to himself!
"This is similar to the time of the Han Dynasty, when the Han army was guarding the city, and the Huns plundered every time they came. So the war becomes a war of attrition, endless. The grassland desert is their home, and they regard Daming as a place that can come and plunder at any time, and my Daming has become their granary. After a long time, the situation will get worse and worse, and these surrounding vassal states will do the same, and it will be full of smoke. Expressing his worries, Sun Chengzong's heart was slightly relieved, since the Emperor of the Apocalypse likes to listen to himself, then he must seize the opportunity this time.
Glancing at the map and then at Sun Chengzong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a solemn face: "If the Ming Dynasty has no internal troubles, such consumption is nothing, after all, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population." But not at this time, there are all kinds of people in this world, and they will sell the things of the Ming Dynasty to the enemy. is always digging the corners of the Ming Dynasty, just like the Great Song Dynasty back then, sooner or later the people outside the fortress will be raised, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the Mongols enter the customs, and even five nonsense! ”
"Your Majesty is wise, so we must adopt a strategy to solve such a problem once and for all." Sun Chengzong saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew so deeply, so he nodded lightly and said in agreement.
"Go on, sir! Now that I've said that, I wonder what Mr. Lai has in mind. "The Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally wouldn't think that Sun Chengzong was just talking, this was a real doer.
Nodding heavily, Sun Chengzong continued: "This was the idea of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, so he took a lot of measures to deal with the Xiongnu. One of the most important is to establish an expeditionary cavalry, a cavalry that can fight field battles with the Huns, and a cavalry that dares to face the Huns. ”
"Aiqing thinks we should do the same?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to understand something, but it seemed to be a little different from his idea, what he wanted to build was a firearms unit in the future. Thinking about it again, it seems that there were cavalry in World War II, and this does not seem to be a conflict. Since Sun Chengzong has an idea, he might as well listen to it.
