630, forcing the palace? Soldiers! (a)
Jingwen came back very disappointed, and the reason for his failure was because of the expansion of the ancient feudal emperor's power. Moreover, this already involves the authority of the emperor. Because Li Shimin has publicly announced that he wants to make peace, no one can stop him. If what has already been decided is prevented, then the emperor's power and prestige will be affected. Therefore, even if Li Shimin knows that this thing may not be as good as he imagined, he must do it head-on. What's more, even if it fails, it looks like there is nothing to lose. This is Li Shimin's idea, and Jingwen can't reverse this thought. Because, as it stands, if you don't use coercion, I'm afraid it really can't be reversed.
And Jingwen returned to the military academy, but he was immediately surrounded by people, these are obviously cadets and teachers of the military academy.
"Sacrificial wine, do we really want to send the princess to kiss? Your Majesty, doesn't you believe in the combat effectiveness of our army? Zhao Dongyang, the director of the Datang Military Academy, asked.
And Jingwen spread his hands and said, "What can I do, the emperor just thinks that this can save money!" ”
Immediately, however, another cadet of the military academy said, "Why? None of our Datang men are dead, why do you need to rely on harmony? What's more, our Datang is very strong now, why bother to exchange peace for this kind of harmony? If they dare to come, we'll send them back! ”
"Yes! Sacrificial wine, you go and persuade the emperor again! "That's right! Lord Sacrificial Wine, you persuade the emperor and let the emperor agree not to kiss! "Yes! Sacrifice wine, persuade the emperor! ”……
As an army, the yearning for honor and interests is always the strongest driving force of the army. In fact, the army attaches the most importance to interests, and now the status of the army in Datang is quite high, and soldiers are respected. And the sense of honor of the Datang army is very strong, and they are all willing to use their blood to maintain the peace and honor interests of the Datang Dynasty, so now they actually heard that they want to exchange peace for the means of harmony and proximity, this is simply slapping their face! And the one who slapped them in the face. That is, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this is obviously not in line with their minds.
And the vast majority of these cadets of the Tang Military Academy belong to young people, and young people are at the age of enthusiasm, so they naturally look down on these friendly behaviors. I'm afraid that no soldier wants the emperor to send the princess to make peace. And they all felt the crisis, because the beginning of the harmony represented that the emperor did not believe in the army. In other words, it is necessary to deliberately suppress the army, which is also a dangerous signal. Once the state gets accustomed to maintaining the tranquility of the frontier by means of harmony and proximity, then I am afraid that the country will be very dangerous.
And once this pass guò and pro. Once the idea of spending money for peace is rooted in the hearts of officials, soldiers, ordinary people, and even all kinds of people, I am afraid that the consequences will be irreparable. At that time, I am afraid that it will become a habit to compromise. As an ancestor emperor, once he took the initiative to make this bad start, the first thing that came to the emperor's mind was definitely not to use force to maintain national security, but to maintain national security through guò and relatives. And Datang has also begun to have this trend. Judging by what happened later. Datang has also gradually moved towards Tongguò and pro-family and various gentle means to maintain national security, which is obviously Li Shimin's bad example. Once this kind of harmony thing starts, the emperor in the future will definitely want to solve the border crisis with guò and qin, and he will not think about the army at all. And the descendants of the emperor. They will also use their ancestors as an excuse to justify their weakness. When the time comes, what can people say about Li Shimin, who created the rule of Zhenguan, doesn't he also have a relationship? As a result, they all took it as an example. Finding excuses for your weakness is the most terrible thing. But Jingwen has no way to prevent this evil case from happening now.
"What can I do?" Jingwen said helplessly.
"Then we'll persuade ourselves!" "Yes, let's go and persuade the emperor." "We went to the emperor in person. Let the emperor stop making peace! ”……
These cadets were very impulsive, and they were about to tell Li Shimin not to get along. But Jingwen immediately asked the military academy's security troops to stop him. When the students were sent back to the dormitory, Jingwen also sighed.
"Is there really no way to sacrifice wine? Look at these cadets, they represent the voice of our Tang Army. If the emperor really wants to go his own way, it will be a very severe blow to the morale of our Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that it will ...... at that time," Zhao Dongyang said carefully.
"The emperor is a politician, not a soldier!" Jingwen just said that.
Jingwen's meaning is obvious, that is, although Emperor Li Shimin was born to lead soldiers, he was not a pure soldier. Li Shimin has too much to think about, more of it is political factors, and rarely thinks about the army. And now Datang's goal is peaceful development, not the use of force to fight. Therefore, Li Shimin inevitably wants to suppress the mentality of martial artists, but instead wants to improve the status of civil officials. However, Jingwen knew that it was very dangerous to do so. Forgetting to fight will be dangerous, this is a saying that the ancients had.
Although Li Shimin was able to take care of the domestic economy, this was obtained in exchange for suppressing the army's blood. For the sake of the country's development, Li Shimin inevitably wanted to sacrifice the blood of the army and use the method of suppressing the blood of the army in exchange for economic recovery. What's more, any emperor will inevitably suppress the influence of the army after seizing the country, so as to prevent the military from continuing to have too much say in the country's rule. And some dynasties are very extreme, that is, they kill heroes through guò, while others are just a glass of wine to release military power. And doing so is often very dangerous, which Jingwen has seen from a historical perspective.
"Zhao Dongyang, wait a minute, you organize the students, go to ......," Jingwen said.
And after Zhao Dongyang heard this, cold sweat came out, and then asked: "Sacrificial wine, after this incident, I'm afraid you ......"
"Afraid of what? As long as I can serve the country, I will be enthusiastic once today. I can't let my China go back to the path of weakness again, this is what a veteran should do! Because, too, I used to be a soldier. Jingwen said.
And Zhao Dongyang was silent, gave Jing Wen a military salute, and then he turned his head to organize the students.
A few hours later, the cadets of the Tang Military Academy came to the gate of Taiji Palace and erected a banner. And the banner said "Refuse and kiss", and then everyone sat in meditation at the gate of Tai Chi Palace. And a lot of people were attracted to it, and they didn't know what was going on, but there was a group of people who meditated here. And this is the palace, what do they mean by meditating at the entrance of the palace? Do they want to rebel? But it's not like it! And this news was quickly spread to the palace and the ears of the people. (To be continued......)
