Chapter 55: Why War?
"Back to my father, my son thinks that this time I am killing the enemy, not capturing the Tartar court in one fell swoop!"
Seeing the old emperor's gaze on him, King Lintian immediately took the conversation and said what he thought. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the resistance of many generals.
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this? Raiders and killing the enemy are naturally good for the future, how can you not attack and kill them to destroy their royal court? ”
"Yes, if it's just to kill its arrogance? And to what extent? And it seems that this matter was brought up by you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"The Tartars are a barbaric existence, arrogant and fearless, how can they restrain themselves in order to plunder supplies, and the last general feels that they still have to be beaten and subdued!"
“……”
Listening to the opposing voices of the generals, King's Landing did not panic at all.
"This palace understands what the generals think, since they say that they want to hurt them, how can they be beaten?" Jun Lintian's eyes swept over the generals, occasionally looking at each other, and their expressions were ancient and unwavering, without the slightest timidity.
"It hurts, naturally it is necessary to kill their main force, it is better to wipe out the Tartar Royal Court!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Fuck it, where is all this nonsense!"
“……”
"Hehe, kill its main army, and even wipe out its royal court... You're talking lightly! ”
Jun Lintian sneered twice, his eyes were fixed on the person who spoke, and he said steadily: "My Daqian is mainly farming, and the people have a peaceful residence; But the Tartars are nomadic people, who wander and graze without a fixed place. It is completely dependent on the weather that the pasture moves, which is why it has repeatedly plundered my border in winter.
You don't want to think about it, how long has it been since my army has been fighting in the grasslands? At that time, let alone killing its arrogance, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find the position of the army! ”
King's Landing then spoke of the fatal problem.
Which emperor didn't want to send troops to conquer the grassland, especially Emperor Gaozu was even more martial arts cultivation, even if he was a royal conquest, he failed to conquer the grassland.
What is the reason? It's not the reason why the Tartar royal court and the main force can't be found.
This is a historical conundrum.
Everyone pondered in silence, and finally set their eyes on King's Landing after a long time.
"Since His Royal Highness advocated the development before, he must have a countermeasure in his heart, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tell him!"
The military department Shangshu Wu bowed his eyes and rolled around, and after a little thought, he kicked the problem to King's Landing again. I can't let you say everything, can I still stop fighting?
Jun Lintian glanced at Wu Gonggao, and then spoke.
"The matter of the Tartars has been a calamity to my border for many years. There are three strategies in the abdomen of this palace, I don't know which one you want to listen to first? ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The expectant curiosity in his eyes turned into demented surprise in an instant.
Upper, middle and lower strategies?
Even the old emperor forgot for a moment that his body was weak, and his curiosity was full and overshadowed everything.
The military department Shangshu Wu Gong Gao stared at Jun Lintian even more, but he secretly said in his heart Sure enough, since the prince dared to propose the Northern Expedition, he really had a plan and a countermeasure.
At this time, although there was expectation in the eyes of the generals, it was not too heavy.
Indeed, when the crown prince opened the canal, he used work for relief of the people, Tiangong coal, and other achievements that can indeed bless the people of all generations, which is a first-class governing policy and a practical strategy.
However, the matter of the catastrophe on the border of the Great Qian, which has gone through countless dynastic evolutions, has not been resolved, but now you are ashamed to say three strategies.
It's really hard not to suspect that King's Landing is simply pretending. Or rather, to lie about his previous rhetoric.
"Generals, you are all the sharp blades of my country, first-class generals and handsome talents, and no one can match military theories. In that case, I would like to ask you, why do we send troops against the Tartars? What is the point of this war? ”
"What?"
"What kind of bastard problem is this?"
"Isn't the prince joking?"
"What's there to ask about this, isn't this nonsense!"
"Meaning? Hammer meaning! The Tartars swept the border, the people were miserable, we are the generals of the imperial court, it is our duty to defend the country and protect the people, and the meaning of this war is not here! ”
"That's it!"
"That's right, isn't it!"
King's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the generals only felt that the crown prince was really a bit grandiose today, how could they ask such a stupid question.
"Hahaha, yes or no!"
King's Landing laughed out loud, and the laughing general turned red and ashamed!
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any advice, just say it directly, why torture me and other coarse people!"
"Hmph, what a big old man!"
With a cold snort, King's Heavenly eyes suddenly sharpened, and the sharpness of the edge made people dare not look directly for a while.
"Soldiers, treacherous. If you don't study, you can only be a general, and it will be difficult to become a handsome. Indeed, as a soldier of the imperial court, it is his duty to defend the country and protect the people. The people's lack of livelihood is the reason for sending troops, but it is not the meaning of this war.
Warfighters are the most violent political means that they have to do. We do not fight for the sake of killing, but for the sake of stability, for the stability of the people, for the stability of the country. And it must be a last resort.
If there is a verbal confrontation, commercial circulation can reach the prosperity of the country, and who wants to use the means of war? ”
The king of heaven talked eloquently, his posture was ordinary, but his words burst out with strong self-confidence, and his calm words stirred up a strong persuasive power in this temple of heart cultivation.
The old emperor spread his brows even more, constantly savoring these words, only to feel that his mouth was suddenly opened.
Yes, war is just a continuation of politics, and I think that when Gaozu rebelled, wasn't it just to overthrow tyranny and create a new peaceful environment, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
Under the war, the people were working and the money was lost, if there was something to talk about at that time, how could there be the current Daqian Empire.
For a while, the generals were also like being enlightened, and their minds were clear.
For generals, who doesn't want to make great achievements and fight on the battlefield for the country and the people. However, how did they think that it would be a good thing if there was no need for soldiers in this world.
The country is stable, the old are supported, the young are dependent, there is no worry about the inside, there is no trouble outside, and the country is peaceful.
It's just stupid to fight for the sake of fighting!
"Yes, my great cadres sent troops to fight, not to kill the Tartars. But for the sake of our people to live and work in peace and contentment, the soldiers can not suffer from the border and completely solve the trouble of the border, this is the teacher of our great cadres and justice! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.
I sent troops because the division was famous, but it was not for the purpose of conquering the city, but what else could I do in the grassland of Tartar except for being used as a horse farm? You can't grow food, who you love!
Just as the generals nodded in satisfaction, King's Landing was silent again.
"So, why do I have to send troops to fight?"
