Chapter 19: Liu Che: The Loving Father of the Great Han
Luoling's carriage left from Zhaocheng, and then entered the grassland from the land of Youyan, this time when he came to the grassland, it was naturally impossible to consume the family's heritage like the last time, the Han Dynasty was not worthy of Luo's payment, even his own Bang Zhou, Luo's did not do that, and it was even more impossible for a Han Dynasty to do so.
Changan.
Since the army left the fortress, the Changle Palace in the imperial city has always been very quiet, and everyone knows that the emperor is waiting for news from the grassland.
In this atmosphere, Luo Jing returned to Chang'an, and then came to the palace with Jia Yi.
Liu Che tried his best to keep his composure, but the two of them could still see that the young emperor's face was full of anxiety.
After the two saluted, Luo Jing immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister went to Zhaocheng to meet the minister's uncle, the prince of Zhao, and now the prince of Zhaogong should have gone to the grassland. β
Liu Che was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was visibly relieved a little, this is Luo Ling's deterrence to the world, he is a god in the world, with infinite power, as long as he makes a move, everyone will rest assured.
Liu Che was silent for a moment, Liu Che in the original world has many flaws in his character, but this world is different, even Xiang Yu's tyranny can be changed, how can a person like Liu Che still be the same?
He is the second son of Emperor Xiaowen and the biological son of the empress, his road to the throne is not bumpy, he does not have so many strong relatives to control the government, and he has not even experienced the beating of the empress dowager.
He has been the king of Liang for many years, and he has seen some realities, when he was in the Liang Kingdom, he liked to have fun with the people, rewarded the people with good wine and food, food, clothing, cloth, and silk, and then listened to the people praise him.
In real history, he was somewhat mediocre in his later years.
But if an emperor has problems in his later years, it may be a person's problem, but it is not only Liu Che himself who has problems in history, not to mention Tang Xuanzong's goods, Taizong Li Shimin, who is one of the emperor's personal ability ceilings, also began to have problems in his later years, if it is not for the collapse of appropriate benefits, maybe it is the second Liu Che.
Liu Che said that when he was young, he was absolutely wise and martial, and the campaign plan to counterattack the Xiongnu was designed by Liu Che, under the implementation of Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, great results were achieved, and the victory of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu in the early stage, Liu Che, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing each accounted for one-third, which is the fairest evaluation.
As for the lack of rich results in the later stage, it was because Li Guangli was too rubbish, with such a strong soldier, eating the best resources, and Liu Che still had a good strategy, but he didn't execute it well.
Second Division General?
Second-rate generals are about the same!
His ability can just be an ordinary captain, let him be a general of the Han Dynasty and command the field army, this point really has to criticize Liu Che, nepotism is like Ren Weihuo.
He Li Guangli has to be a general or something, does he have that ability?
No, after losing the Xiongnu, they surrendered directly, otherwise I am afraid that they will lose the Western Regions next, lose the Western Regions and lose the Southwest Yi, lose the Southwest Yi and lose Shanyue, and then have no loss.
Liu Che in this world is more secondary than in history, after all, Luo's various hymns, what "King Su's gods are in the sky, and the destiny of Zhuxia is ten thousand years" is quite secondary, Liu Che has a mother who deeply believes in King Su, and the teachers who teach him are all from Shandong Confucianism, so he was naturally affected.
But he has never been an emperor who only cares about his own merits, this is different from those tyrants in history, Liu Che wants to do things that benefit the country and the people, in real history, Liu Che did some wrong things, but he went to the people to take a look, saw the difficult life of the people, he immediately realized his mistake, immediately stopped the war against the Xiongnu, admitted his mistake.
He's been an emperor for decades!
No one dares to say that he is at fault, his power is unimaginably great, the prime minister of the head of a hundred officials will kill him if he says to kill, and no matter how powerful the hao clan is, he will directly die with an order, even when Qin Shi Huang was the most powerful.
The prince persuaded Liu Che for many years, but he was unmoved, this is actually a complete wrong method, every day in front of Liu Che to say that it is useless to say that the people are in trouble, Liu Che will only think that the life of those Haoqiang is not good, how can a person like Liu Che care about Haoqiang?
The prince should take Liu Che directly to the real people to take a look, and see the people after the war, so that the father and son will not finally get to that point, Liu Che is the character of changing when he knows his mistakes, and the reason why he is stubborn is because he doesn't know that he is wrong.
Liu Che sighed and said: "Only the prime minister and Dong Ahou are present today, I can say something to you two, I am ready to lose this war."
The Han Dynasty has never had a large-scale war with the Xiongnu, the art of war says that knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, a hundred battles will not be defeated, and now the Han knows nothing about the Xiongnu, or a war on the territory of the Xiongnu, how can it be possible to win a big victory?
But I still have to fight this one, because if I don't fight, I will never know what the Han lacks, and I will never be able to figure out the strength of the Huns, so how can I completely defeat the Huns?
What I hope is that the soldiers will suffer fewer losses and more casualties to the Huns, and that's all, and when the soldiers come back, as long as they have gained, I will be rewarded.
The encouragement before the war was just to let the soldiers move forward bravely.
But now that the Maharaja of Zhao has gone to the grassland, I can relax a little.
Wait until the general returns, take a good look at the combat strength and characteristics of the Huns, and accumulate experience for the subsequent wars.
My Han has the most elite soldiers, and there is a heritage accumulated in sixty or seventy years, and it will definitely be possible to defeat the Huns, this is probably the mission I was born with, and it is the task entrusted to me by Emperor Suwang. β
Jia Yi and Luo Jing glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that the emperor, who was impassioned before the war and must win a big victory, would have such a thought, but this also made the two of them feel slightly relaxed in their hearts.
It's a good thing that the emperor didn't have a great success to the point where he must win a big victory, especially Jia Yi was afraid that the emperor would be provoked by defeat and send a large army out of the fortress continuously, and the national strength accumulated by Emperor Xiaowen would be wasted.
"Your Majesty, the army has been out of the fortress for more than a month, the consumption of grain and grass, the conscription of good families, and the military service assistance are roughly as follows, and the current treasury can still bear at least two major battles out of the fortress."
After Jia Yi put his mind at ease, he began to report these logistical matters to Liu Che, as soon as he talked about money and food, Liu Che's nature of liking to scatter coins began to be exposed, and he waved his hand directly: "Prime Minister, I heard that since ancient times, I have not treated the soldiers harshly and achieved victory, my soldiers are bleeding on the front line, I don't want them to suffer any more on military logistics, and please provide ample supplies, and be sure to reduce the losses of the soldiers." β
In fact, the current Han court has extremely rare rewards for military merits.
In this world, the most powerful and loyal army is the dare warrior, the dare warrior appeared very early, many countries have tried to establish such an army as the dare warrior, Wei Wushu is the most successful, the combat power is extremely high.
In addition to the fact that King Su can't learn, all the outstanding generals have summarized the combat power of the warriors, and one of the highlights is to reward and re-enact, especially the point of re-enchantment, under the influence of the social atmosphere, once the favor is betrayed, the social criticism is even more serious than the original world, and it can almost be called a social death, especially the existence and strength of the Luo family, this kind of people Luo is extremely despised, and those who are despised by the Luo family are really difficult to mix in the society, and even affect the heirs.
Moreover, the Han Dynasty established the country by force, and those who held high positions in the imperial court and the local real power were all military meritorious princes, so in this case, it was impossible to suppress the military meritorious groups.
Needless to say, the treatment of the feudal marquis, decades of real feudal country, several times the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have not been so long.
Many feudal lords have not even died yet, and their fiefs are simply gone.
There are also rewards and follow-up benefits for ordinary soldiers to kill the enemy, in order to win the hearts of the soldiers, they are far more than the Qin Dynasty, and the Han court does not have so many things to atone for crimes, and the gold content of military merit is very high.
Liu Che stopped Jia Yi, who wanted to speak, and he said quite seriously: "Prime Minister, is there anything more precious than life in this world?"
There are many hard-working people in this world, but only the soldiers who fight on the battlefield will lose their lives at any time.
If you want to defeat the Huns, can you just rely on a few words from me or the strategies of the generals?
It's not like this, it's a bloody fight of the Han soldiers, ten people go, five people return, it is destined to be so tragic.
I have nothing to make up for, only to learn Luo's method, no brothers, no heirs, not let them go to the battlefield, those who die on the battlefield, the state should give more pensions, to make their families glorious.
I want to let the sons and daughters of the Han Dynasty be proud of the war, proud of the country's bloodshed, and I don't care about a little bit of wealth, can the prime minister know my thoughts today? β
Liu Che rarely spoke softly like this, he was always impassioned, but Jia Yi heard a taste that was far more resolute than in the past today, which was an undoubted taste.
Luo Jing bowed slightly, Jia Yi bowed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister knows." β
Liu Che said again: "Prime Minister, you are a great Confucian in the sea and the leader of Meng Ru, I believe in you, but please also inform your subordinate officials that at the moment of the war, if they are deducted, I will not give them a chance to go to Lingnan or Qiongzhou."
The only thing they can go to is the Yellow Spring, where they don't see the light of day! β
ββββ
Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Empire, was evaluated as "Wu" by his courtiers after his death, that is, "the emperor who is best at martial arts", he was deeply loved by the soldiers, and the author found in the study of the history of the Han Empire that in the era of the emperor Liu Che, the overall treatment of the soldiers increased by more than five times, which is quite similar to the emperor of the Roman Empire, Severus, who once said: "Don't treat the soldiers harshly, reward them heavily." So Rome's military spending increased sevenfold, and the emperor of the Han Empire, Liu Che, chose the same way, and then forward, the same was true of the great Caesar, which may be the similarity of the great king. ββGeneral History of the World: Qin and Han Dynasties, Vol. 4
