Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Decision of the Great Military Parade
After Zhang Biwu finished reading Xuan Ye's suicide note, he could see that his last sentence meant that he wanted Zhang Biwu to let his clansmen go, so he lowered his head and admitted defeat and admitted that he was a loser.
And in his suicide note, he also said that suicide is a way for cowards to avoid, and he has no choice but to choose this way! All this is showing Zhang Biwu a fact, he admits defeat to Zhang Biwu!
In fact, Zhang Biwu didn't have any intention of killing the Manchurians, anyway, they could surrender. If you don't accept it, then of course you can only die.
Zhang Biwu finally looked at Xuan Ye's corpse, Zhang Biwu seemed to be able to see Xuan Ye with an unwilling and desperate face, he was bowing his head to himself and admitting defeat. Although how many of them are very unconvinced.
At the same time, Zhang Biwu also felt that Xuan Ye died peacefully, and he didn't hate it, because he lost at the hands of an opponent who was much stronger than himself, which was nothing to regret.
He suddenly had a very strong sense of loss, the enemy had been destroyed, what else did he have to do next?
Oh, yes! The world is decided! What to do? Right! Punish the prisoners of the European coalition, as well as the prisoners of Japan! These Zhang Biwu had already had a public discussion with the ministers, and he had already made a decision.
But another thought came to his mind, yes! He wants to establish his prestige and let people from all countries in the world always know the power of China! Don't dare to go against China again!
The most direct and effective way is to parade and demonstrate with soldiers, although it is often said in books that sages are known for their virtues and are not easy to call soldiers! But you are not strong in force. How do you deter the enemy? The Han family has its own system. This is a bully and miscellaneous! You just can't be single. It must be the way of the overlord!
Of course, the Han family system was originally a mixture of benevolence and righteousness and the way of the overlord! Only when the civil and military are in harmony can people be completely convinced! In order to let the prestige of China be passed on for a long time!
Zhang Biwu has made a decision, that is, he wants a military parade and organizes a huge military parade to establish his authority! In the same way, he wants to show the nations that he is good at governance, that the country is well governed, that it is prosperous, and that the people live like paradise! In fact, this is the most important thing. The main thing!
It's just that now that the world has just been decided, a grand military parade cannot be held, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. At the same time, the number of troops on this side is not good! You have to organize it slowly! It is not just to let the countries see that the Chinese army is mighty and invincible. Let them see the prosperity and strength of the country and the happiness of the common people!
Yes! How happy, how happy it is for everyone to live in such a country! If you can really do that, then you have no complaints!
Moreover, in the world, it has not only left the invincible military might, but also left the majesty of the country's prosperity and no one dares to defeat it.
Zhang Biwu thought of this. He felt that the most important thing was that the most important thing was that the martial arts were prosperous.
Zhang Biwu has decided! That's what he's aiming for! He wants to let people from every country in the world come to Chinese soil in the future. They will all see a thriving power, and they will see Chinese people with happy smiles!
Yes! At that time, there will be another grand military parade to let you know that not only the wealth of the country, but also an invincible army to ensure it! No one can take it lightly! It is even more important to emphasize one point - those who dare to offend strong men will be punished even if they are far away!
People are like that, once they have set a goal, they become full of strength and strive to move towards it.
Zhang Biwu released the captives in front of all the countries, which is to subdue people with virtue, first with virtue, and then with authority.
As for the Tokugawa Ietsuna, then you don't have to be polite, you have to behead him for public display, and of course you and some of the wicked people who are planning to attack China, of course, you can't let them go, they all have to be beheaded in front of the envoys of all countries. Maybe there are people from all over the world, and Zhang Biwu is not afraid that all countries will unite again to fight with him.
It's just that this time it won't be caught off guard like the Mongolian steppe, and it can be easily prevented.
Now Tsarist Russia is also holding gold to show favor to Zhang Biwu, and they have returned the Nebuchu and Yaksa regions to the Tang Dynasty.
Britain, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and other most powerful Western countries at that time all sent envoys to ask Zhang Biwu for his guilt!
They admitted their mistakes, and asked to be able to make friends with Datang, one by two expressed such sincerity. Of course, they only have a limited number of gifts! After all, the countries have just retreated, and they have not had time to send gifts.
Zhang Biwu just wants to see these messengers who ask for sin, and at the same time, he also wants the messengers who come to ask for sin to return to their king, he wants Xuan Ye not to die the most, but Xuan Ye is dead! Zhang Biwu is equivalent to having no opponents, if they are willing to be Datang's opponents, there is nothing to care about.
Hearing this, of course, the envoys of various countries did not even dare to speak, and they all bowed their heads. After all, they all knew that if Xuan Ye didn't die, he would be able to continue to pose a threat to Datang, and Zhang Biwu would be tantamount to having a sharp knife in his heart, and he couldn't be at peace. But now that Xuan Ye is dead, what else can he do? The last hope is also gone!
The program arranged by Zhang Biwu for them was to watch killing, those who opposed the Tang Dynasty, such as Tokugawa Ietsuna.
However, there was a messenger who was mentioned, he was the Japanese envoy Hotta Masatoshi, Zhang Biwu looked at him, and said, "Are you here to see the killing?" There's your shogun, Tokugawa Ietsuna! He was the culprit of the first initiation of the war! It must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the national law of our country! ”
The envoy Hotta Masatoshi didn't dare to say anything more, he could only nod his head constantly: "The emperor killed it!" He did a lot of evil and killed him! Our new general, Tokugawa Tsunyoshi, is grateful to the emperor, and without the emperor, the general would not have been able to get rid of this great calamity and ascend to the throne to save the people of our country! Please don't blame my country, Your Majesty! If you want to talk about sin, everything is the fault of Tokugawa Ietsuna and Sakai Tadashi! Our country is sincere and sincere to your country! You have been very kind to our country, and we have always been grateful for it! ”
Zhang Biwu sneered, and then said, "Okay! I'll still say the same thing, you can bring back the head of your Tokugawa Ietsuna! If your general, the emperor wants to fight, come and fight! ”
In Japan, the great statesman Hotta Masatoshi, who was known for being strong and heroic, and who did not give in, immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing and saying that he would not dare, and would never dare to offend the Chinese Tianwei.
But Zhang Biwu didn't even pay attention to him, but instead asked people to put him on the other side and did not watch the ceremony with the envoys of various countries.
This time, the envoys of the countries are you looking at me, and I am looking at you. In their hearts, they all thought that it was fortunate that they had not offended too much, otherwise they would have died.
Of course, the people killed were not long ago, and there were people who went with them on the expedition, but they didn't dare to complain, but silently watched as the heads were cut off one by one.
They were trembling with fear, and now they didn't dare to mention any more conditions, as long as they could avoid the birth of a military disaster, it would be the best thing.
Zhang Biwu looked at them and knew that his deterrence had been achieved, and he had to let Xuan Jianhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Li Yan, Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong, etc. work together to formulate a set of plans for governing the country, as long as it was appropriate, he would adopt it!
At the same time, we need to recruit more capable people to govern the country, otherwise, the country is so big, how can we govern the country well?
Zhang Biwu can be said to be thirsty for talent, he knows very well the truth that those who win people prosper, and those who lose people die.
In terms of maritime affairs, it is still left to Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong will help him take care of it, which is needless to mention. Through overseas trade, Datang can be said to have accumulated a lot of wealth, which can be used to support the construction of the country.
The skills of foreigners such as John Tang and Nan Mingren were contributed one by one, and they did not hesitate to invest money in the research, development, and improvement of firearms. In the future, when the military parades, it can be used to show off to various countries.
Everything is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the monarch and the ministers are united in order to govern the country well.
One thing is for sure is that because of the defeat on the grassland and the rout of the Japanese army, they no longer dare to oppose Datang, so Datang can carry out economic construction with peace of mind.
After six years of governance, the country has not only recovered from the devastation of the war, but has instead shown a thriving appearance.
The country is strong, the people are rich, they live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no way to leave behind. Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, Zhang Biwu's position among the people of the country is unusually firm, and he will never be shaken from now on.
The foundation of Datang has also become solid, and an unfailing foundation has been established. After the turmoil, no one has the heart to make trouble, and the people cherish this hard-won happy and happy day.
After six years, Zhang Biwu wanted to let them perform a splendid and superb military parade among the nobles, princes, and nobles of all countries in the world, and spread his prestige far and wide, and this dream can be realized now.
Therefore, Zhang Biwu had already sent envoys to various countries, so that they would either come in person or send nobles from the royal family to watch the military parade.
This parade will use millions of troops! And they are all elite people, and they have to show the most powerful weapons, so that Westerners know that China not only does not lag behind them in firearms, but is even stronger than their firearms!
In the past, Westerners were better than other countries with their systems, civilization, and the development of science and technology, so they called other countries and other people barbarians, and they were civilized people, and they felt superior to others!
Now, Zhang Biwu wants to let Westerners know who is truly civilized and who is a barbarian!
You have to let them know in terms of technology, culture, and weapons, and they feel it! In this regard, China is stronger than them! In this way, the Europeans do not have a sense of superiority, on the contrary, let them lament that they are still in a backward state! (To be continued......)
