Chapter 613: A Powerful Empire

Previous Chapter

Huang Yueying said: "But recently, there has been a voice circulating in the market, saying that we are reckless and can only bring the empire and the people into dire straits," Ma Chao sneered: "It must be those scholars who are spreading rumors everywhere," Zhang Lang waved his hand, "Not exactly." Under the influence of Confucianism in recent years, many people are born subconsciously and pathologically opposed to war. , hehe, how come these people only remember a few examples of rash use of troops that led to the defeat of the country, but they forgot that the rise of any strong country, any glorious era, but it is precisely by relying on the reckless military force, secular etiquette can not create a prosperous world, and being kind to others cannot avoid war, to survive, to be strong, you must be able to tiger and wolf heart, iron mouth and fierce heart, compete with others, and let the surname get used to using force to realize ideals and realize values,"

Everyone nodded, and Ma Chao said excitedly: "That's right, if you don't have a tiger and a wolf, you can only be a deer and sheep, and we must not be a deer and sheep,"

The generals chimed in.

Huang Yueying asked: "Big brother, do you want to deal with the people who spread rumors?" ”

Ma Chao said: "If you want me to say that all of these should be arrested and punished,"

Zhang Liao immediately objected: "How can this work." You can't help but let people talk,"

Zhang Lang said: "This matter cannot be ignored, but the means cannot be too drastic. After a pause, "Since it's public opinion, let's use public opinion to deal with it." Looking at Huang Yueying, she smiled and said, "Yueying, this matter is in your hands again," Huang Yueying smiled, hugged her fists and said, "Your subordinates obey orders," the two of them looked like they were flirting.

Zhang Lang smiled and said to everyone: "Since I have made preparations, I have decided to send troops to the Northern Expedition on the same day,"

"LinkedIn," everyone hugged their fists together.

……

Zhang Lang returned to the backyard and saw Xiao Weiwei chasing a group of maids with a wooden stick from a distance, scaring the group of maids into disappearance and stumbling. Zhang Lang couldn't help but laugh, hurried over, grabbed Xiao Weiwei, and lifted her up. Xiao Weiwei was startled, and then saw that it was Daddy, and immediately shook her body in mid-air with dissatisfaction and waved her limbs, shouting: "Daddy, you bullied me,"

Zhang Lang said angrily: "Then why are you bullying those sisters." ”

At this time, the maids were frightened and came to see the commander.

Xiao Weiwei glanced at them, pursed her lips, and said unhappily: "People didn't bully them, they just wanted to compete with them, but, but," the naughty little guy waved his two little hands: "But they always avoid me, that's why I'm angry,"

Zhang Lang rolled his eyes, put Xiao Weiwei down, rubbed her head vigorously, and said funny, annoyed and doting: "You little naughty, these sisters don't know martial arts, what kind of martial arts do you compete with them." Xiao Weiwei lowered her head and pouted and muttered: "People don't know that they don't know martial arts, really, what's the use of not practicing martial arts,"

Zhang Lang felt amused, gently knocked on Xiao Weiwei's head, and said angrily: "What kind of strange thing does the little guy say." What is called no martial arts is useless. ”

Xiao Weiwei looked at her father angrily with her head in her hands, pouted and said, "This is what you said from your father, why are you beating people." ”

Zhang Lang was stunned, "I said it." When did I say that. ”

Xiao Weiwei pouted and said: "Dad, don't you often tell your uncles: people should be as brave as tigers and leopards, and they must not learn to deer and sheep, the existence of deer and sheep is to become food for tigers and leopards, and deer and sheep are not qualified, so they will not blame the cruelty of tigers and leopards, like tigers and leopards, don't you want to be powerful in martial arts, and those who don't know martial arts are deer and sheep, and deer and sheep are useless, so those who don't have martial arts are useless people,"

Zhang Lang was stupid for a while, he didn't expect that what he often said actually took root in Xiao Weiwei's place, and was imagined by her little head to become like this, I really don't know whether it's good or bad.

Zhang Lang picked up Xiao Weiwei. When he saw that the maids were still standing by and did not dare to leave, he said to them, "Go down." The maids answered and withdrew.

Zhang Lang walked into a water pavilion with Xiao Weiwei in his arms, "Xiao Weiwei, most of your ideas are correct, but there are also mistakes. Little Weiwei blinked her big curious eyes. Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Your sister Yueying, Sister Ruoxue and Sister Mengxue, they don't know martial arts, isn't it useless?" In fact, sometimes they can play a greater role for the country than any general,"

Xiao Weiwei was confused, "But, but, Dad, didn't you mean ......"

Zhang Lang pinched Xiao Weiwei's little nose, and the little guy pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "People are adults, don't always pinch other people's noses,"

Zhang Lang smiled and frowned slightly: "Dad, what I said is not the martial arts I am talking about, but the thoughts. Let's say you're a reader, and everyone wants to participate, and you know you're not good at it, so what should you do? ”

Xiao Weiwei frowned, "Well, I, I'm going to study hard and let myself beat everyone in the imperial examination,"

Zhang Lang praised: "Well said. This kind of thinking of fighting with people is the tiger wolf that Daddy said. The tiger wolf is thinking, but talking about martial arts. In the big picture, what should we do for the prosperity and happiness of our country? It is necessary to use all means, including force, to seize land resources and eliminate all potential threats and enemies, instead of groveling and even begging for peace and mercy with women's bodies, the result of which will not only not get the peace and mercy you want, but will perish faster. On a small scale, it's what Daddy just told you. In life, whether you are doing big things or small things, you must have a fighting heart. Whether it is a human or an animal, only those who dare to compete can survive, natural selection, survival of the fittest. ”

Xiao Weiwei tilted her head and thought for a while, and said in a bit of confusion: "Dad, Weiwei, Weiwei doesn't understand very much." ”

Zhang Lang smiled, kissed Xiao Weiwei's face, and said with a smile: "You are still young now, when you grow up, you will naturally understand what Daddy means." ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded heavily. Just then, a golden-red carp swam to the bottom of the pavilion. Xiao Weiwei's eyes immediately widened, and she pointed to the water and shouted excitedly, "Daddy, look, fish." Fish. Zhang Lang said: "Let's play fishing." Xiao Weiwei nodded excitedly.

A moment later, the guards and maids saw their lord and the little princess catching fish in the lake, and having fun.

Two days later, a grand troop dispatch ceremony was held on the square in front of the Imperial Palace in Luoyang City. Zhang Lang stood on the high platform in military uniform, 100,000 soldiers of the Longtao army were placed on the east and west north, the flags were surging, the swords and guns were bright and snowy, the armor was bullying, and dozens of generals stood behind Zhang Lang in full military uniforms, all of them were brave and strong.

Zhang Lang sacrificed to heaven and earth according to the ancient ritual of sending troops, and then read out the list of teachers, and finally announced the northern expedition of the army to destroy Xianbei. More than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live." Banzai. ……”

After the troop ceremony, Zhang Lang led Jia Xu and more than a dozen generals and 100,000 Longtao soldiers to set off, and the army passed through the streets, and Luoyang City was empty, competing to witness the grand occasion of the imperial army. The columns of spears and halberds glittered in the cold light, the various battle flags flew in the wind, and a member of the fierce generals sat on the war horses, majestic, and the new war machines rumbled forward, like monsters.

Guo Jia, who had long since disappeared, appeared on top of a pavilion, looking at the mighty army in the middle of the street that was marching to the battlefield amid thousands of cheers, and couldn't help but murmur: "Great Commander, you have created a new era, what will be the result?" Will it be more brilliant, or will it lead the country to a place of no return? Let me wait and see. ”

……

A month later, Zhang Lang first launched a fierce attack on Kebineng with two artillery pieces of 10,000 elites, and the army was like a flood of fierce beasts, the generals were brave, and the soldiers used soldiers, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and almost all of the Kebineng troops were wiped out in just one battle. The army then surrounded Bugen, who was trying to retreat, and a great battle turned the sunset red, killing Bugen and annihilating his tribe. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lang seized the entire northern grassland with cavalry, and then moved the Han people to the grassland and built six cities as a base to manage the grassland region.

A year after the pacification of Xianbei, Zhang Lang sent troops again, this time the target was Dawan Kingdom, which was not as strong as it used to be, with nearly 10,000 troops in the country. Zhang Lang gathered 600,000 elites and fought fiercely with the Dawan Kingdom in the north and south of the Green Mountains for two years, and finally rushed the Dawan army with surprise soldiers, and then the army covered up and killed, and wiped out the main force of the Dawan Kingdom, and then the army broke through the capital city of Dawan with artillery, and the Dawan Kingdom perished. In this battle, Zhang Lang couldn't help but seize a large amount of land, and even obtained the countless treasury of the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom and a large number of treasures obtained from the previous attack of the Dawan Kingdom, which amounted to the tax income of the Central Plains for ten years.

In the days that followed, the Han army fought non-stop, conquering the west and the south, one country after another, new states and counties were established, and the troops were invincible everywhere. However, the Han Empire did not decay in the annual wars, but became stronger and stronger. Instead of destroying the country, the army created an empire that was more powerful than ever before. And the surnames in China have also begun to habitually use force and hard-line thinking to consider problems. The empire has become more and more powerful, which is what Zhang Lang wants, but it has also had some negative effects, and there are contradictions between the people, and now they are always accustomed to using force to solve problems privately, which I don't know if it is good or bad.

Finally, ten years after Zhang Lang's army, the Han army entered West Asia and encountered the Roman Empire, which was still in its heyday at that time. Two powerful empires collided fiercely, and a great war that lasted for twenty years came to a prelude. But that was the end of my story.
