Chapter 0044: The Great Army is about to set out
"Shunri?"
Hearing Lu Shizhi's words, Liu Ying couldn't help but look pale.
Ten days is ten days, and the tenth month roughly means 'ten days and half a month', and ten days is within ten days!
Can it be ······ now
"This autumn's harvest is not finished, the treasury is empty, and although Chen Feng has a rebellious appearance, he has not yet rebelled?"
"Father's expedition at this time, isn't there a suspicion of forcing Chen Feng to rebel?"
Hearing this, Lu Shizhi only nodded slightly, and his face became a little serious.
"That's true."
"However, I am afraid that it is also a helpless act of His Majesty."
"I think that at the beginning, Han Wangxin was in turmoil in the north, and it was almost autumn, and His Majesty still insisted on going on the expedition, and finally fell into the fall of Bai Deng."
Speaking of this, Lu Shizhi's face was slightly sentimental.
"At that time, the minister also followed the late Zhou Lu Lingwu Marquis and led the army to help relieve His Majesty's siege."
"However, when it came to Bai Deng, the minister saw that the soldiers brought by His Majesty were only hundreds of soldiers who were killed in battles with swords and guns, and nearly 10,000 people died of hunger and cold!"
"Even the surviving soldiers, many of them were injured by the cold, and lost the fingers of their hands and feet, so they had to return to their hometowns gloomily, thinking that they were rural farmers······"
As he spoke, Lu Shizhi's eyes turned red slightly, and he loosened his shirt slightly uncomfortably.
"The following year, more than half of the more than 16,000 soldiers of the eight captains of the Northern Army returned to their hometowns to become farmers."
"Thousands of households dominate the people, and a few families wear filial piety ······"
Watching Lu Shizhi recount these old events with his eyes full of devastation, even if he had never seen it with his own eyes, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
What Lu Shizhi said was that three years ago, because Han Wangxin was on the verge of surrendering to the enemy, which led to a large-scale armed confrontation between Han and Hungary, the Battle of Pingcheng!
In the most critical battle in the Battle of Pingcheng, that is, the Battle of Baideng, in which the Han and Hungarian dynasties staged an unprecedented 'king against king', almost all the losses of the Han family were soldiers who starved to death and froze to death.
Liu Ying still remembers the days when he was a puppet emperor in his previous life, and he also saw the battle report of the Battle of Baideng in Shiqu Pavilion.
And on the bamboo slip that was almost several zhang long, Liu Ying saw the data of silent associations!
- Killed in battle, one hundred and seventy-one!
- Seriously wounded, sixty-nine!
- Nearly 7,000 people died of chilblains; The injured and disabled are doubled!
- Nearly 1,700 people died of hunger!
In the battle of Baideng alone, the Han army had nearly 9,000 more martyrs, as well as more than 14,000 soldiers who were frostbitten and frozen because of the battle of Baideng!
After the war, even the Northern Army, one of the two armies in Chang'an, had at least half of the backbone students and had no choice but to face retirement.
It was under such a painful and huge loss that the Battle of Pingcheng of the Han Dynasty, which clearly obtained greater strategic advantages and greater strategic results from the Han Dynasty, not only did not become the glory of the Han Dynasty, but was regarded by the entire Han Dynasty as a huge shame that must never be forgotten!
In the original history, until a few decades later, Emperor Wu Liu Che, who ascended to the north of Weiyang Palace, even used 'Emperor Xuezhen Zugao was in the shame of Baideng' as a banner of righteousness against the Xiongnu!
Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the Han family regarded the obviously victorious Battle of Han-Hun Pingcheng as an unprecedented shame for the dynasty, which was somewhat hypocritical.
But Liu Ying knows: this is not hypocrisy, this is pride!
It is the only cultural center in the known world, the most dazzling ancient civilization in the history of human civilization, and the unique dignity of the Celestial Empire!
Killing 100,000 enemies is just killing 100,000 barbarians who drink blood, there is nothing to boast about!
It is a shame to be killed by such a barbarian!
Being besieged by barbarians, resulting in tens of thousands of Chinese nobles being disabled and dying, is a great shame for the entire nation!
It is precisely under the blessing of such unquestionable supreme dignity that the Chinese civilization has continued for 5,000 years!
——At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the world was divided into seven parts, and in the Central Plains, the seven kingdoms of Qin, Han, Chu, Wei, Yan, Qi, and Zhao hated each other's dog brains.
But even so, these seven Warring States princes casually brought out a Zhao State, and they could still expand the territory of the country north for thousands of miles, so that the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, but when they saw the Han horse, they fled from the wind and did not dare to bend their bows to each other!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was divided into three parts, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were divided into the world, but even so, Cao Wei was still able to face the alliance of Sun and Liu with one enemy and two at the same time, and at the same time, he killed the barbarians in the northern grassland.
From Ji Zhou to Cao Wei, every unified regime in the land of China has never fallen under the invasion of foreign barbarians!
Compared with this kind of national dignity and blood, the Sima family, who usurped Cao Wei in later generations, and even the later Song and Ming dynasties, don't know how ashamed they are.
What happens in the future, regardless of the future, at least for today's Han family, there is still only one way to deal with foreign barbarians.
Either surrender to me or be destroyed by me!
That has never changed.
Whether it is the reign of Liu Bang, who is ruined and in ruins, or the governance of Wenjing, which has been built with great dedication and dedication to the outside in history, the ultimate goal of the Han family has always been only one.
——Accumulate strength, go north to the Great Wall, punish the barbarian nomads in the name of civilization, and regain the glory of the Heavenly Empire!
Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little angry and bloody, and her snort became heavy!
In such an era, as a Han Chinese, Liu Ying is proud and proud.
But at the same time, as the only future leader of the Han people, Liu Ying also felt that a thousand burdens were suddenly pressed on his shoulders.
"Whew~"
Quietly exhaled, Liu Ying did not feel the burden on her shoulders, and there was a slight tendency to lighten it.
But when Liu Ying raised her head again and looked at her uncle Lu Shizhi, Lu Shizhi suddenly found that Liu Ying's temperament was inexplicably extra with a faint majesty.
And this majesty, Lu Shizhi has only seen it in one person in the past few decades······
"Alone."
Seeing Liu Ying nodding indifferently, she immediately got up from her seat with a chuckle.
"Halfway through August this year, the autumn harvest is imminent."
"It is to set out immediately, and when the army arrives in the land of Dai and Zhao, it should also be until September, and winter and October are not far away."
"The harvest is not finished this autumn, and the treasury is empty."
"Since the prime minister has halved the number of courtiers in August, September, and October, it is a foregone conclusion that the army will not set out in the future."
This is not difficult to understand: the officials of the central Han Dynasty would hide in the treasury in advance after the autumn harvest of the previous year.
In the past few months, the Prime Minister's Office ordered the Yulu to be halved, not because there was no grain in the treasury, but because the grain that was originally set aside for the distribution of Yulu now has other uses.
For example: supply the Guanzhong army led by Liu Bang personally, so that it can go out before the autumn harvest!
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Shizhi nodded, and before he could speak again, at the gate of the palace, the figure of Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, appeared again.
"Your Majesty's edict."
"Tomorrow, in the Changxin Palace, the court ceremony will be held, and the prince will attend the meeting in the court clothes, and it will not be late."
