Chapter 57 Those who win the hearts of the people win the world
As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.
Especially when I heard King's Landing not use the Northern Expedition's suggestion, isn't this fooling them?!
Two days ago, I swore that I was going to go on a northern expedition, that I was going to fight, and that I would give these steppe Tartars a hard blow and exterminate them. We, the generals who haven't seen blood for a long time, are starting to look forward to the battle, and you say that the Northern Expedition is the next step.
????
I've seen a fool of people, but I have never seen such a fool of people!
Wu Gonggao, the secretary of the military department, was even more bearded and glared at this time, after all, as soon as the Northern Expedition was released by the prince, he excitedly informed the entire military department.
It's good now, the prince said a word of denial, so that his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes, and who still believes in him in the future, and the trust level is gone when the sense of expectation drops to the freezing point.
The old emperor's frowning brows did not relax at all, and heaven and man were at war in his heart.
Is it wrong to let the crown prince supervise the country?
Or is this kid drifting lately?
What will there be other tribes after the Tartars, does this mean that the steppe is an unconquerable land? Emperor Gaozu did all the conquests in vain?
As soon as he thought of this, the old emperor's heart popped up one after another with the words "unworthy descendants".
If he passes now, how will he face his ancestors and ancestors!
"Prince, since you said that it is not advisable to be unable to go on the Northern Expedition, then what can you do? Could it be that my Daqian Empire can only guard the border and endure the raids of the Tartars forever? ”
The old emperor's warm and angry voice sounded, and the courtiers lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to say anything, for fear that the old emperor would be unhappy and spread his anger on them.
"Father, if you compare the rule of the country to a boat, the ordinary people at the bottom are water." The eyes of the king are full of light, and his words are as calm as water.
???
When the courtiers heard this, they looked at King's Landing as if they were fools. Who doesn't know the relationship between the military and the people.
"I am speechless and abundant, and there is still a class of farmers, industrialists and industrialists. Since the short-lived establishment of the Mongolian Emperor, the entire grassland Mongolian people have been divided into three classes: nobles, commoners, and slaves. Aside from the fact that most of the slaves were foreign Mongolians, they were mainly nobles and commoners.
The Mongolian generals, the government, and the people built a thousand-household system in one. Ten thousand households, thousands of households, hundreds of households, etc., are strictly hierarchical, and all the people under their jurisdiction are Mongolian nobles, so the class contradictions in the Mongolian steppe can be seen from this! ”
King's Landing looked at it and talked, but everyone was still confused.
Yes, although Emperor Meng was short-lived, he led his army to expand the territory, even Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six countries, could not match it.
However, the thousand-household system of Genghis Khan of Mengdi completely guaranteed the maximum control of class rule through class differentiation. As soon as there is an order from above, the people at the bottom can immediately receive it.
Moreover, among the various strata of the thousand-household system, free rule and grazing are ready for war, and they can enter a state of war readiness at any time.
It is a pity that this class division is too serious, and the disadvantages are equally serious.
Emperor Meng was eloquent, but for the common people, he regarded it as a commodity like cattle and sheep, and treated it as a reward to the nobles as an accessory.
As a result, the Mongolian people did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Mongolian aristocracy, and even felt pain and disgust. However, they did not dare to resist the civilians who did not rely on their strength.
The hereditary nobility is always the nobility, and the commoner hereditary is always the commoner. No, more precisely, forever an appendage of the nobility, from generation to generation.
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to say?"
The military department Shangshu Wugong was in a hurry, and couldn't help but urge Jun Lintian to give an answer quickly.
"It's simple. Regardless of the tribe of the Mongols, it was not the common people who waged war, but the aristocratic rulers. They plundered our people as vassals, and plundered our cadres as food. And the ultimate winner of all this is the aristocracy, and they have no sense of gain in the slightest compared to the commoners.
Their relatives fought hard to plunder supplies and slaves for their noble leaders, but they had nothing to do with each other. Plundering will not change their lives for the better, but if they save their lives on the battlefield, their wives and children will become the vassal rewards of others.
Because of the clear class division, there was not much difference in treatment between commoners and slaves. As commoners who have always been oppressed, they only need one force to become a powder keg, a huge force against the Mongol aristocracy.
The reasons for this change do not need me to say more, but you can understand it. After all, the founding of our Great Qian Empire was born out of resistance to tyranny. ”
As soon as the words of the king came out, everyone was shocked, and they all lowered their heads and secretly looked at the old emperor.
This prince is really bold and reckless, and he dares to say such a disgraceful thing in front of the old emperor.
But at this time, the old emperor was not angry at all, and the words of the king of heaven echoed in his mind repeatedly.
"What does Tian'er mean..."
"Yes, it is easier to unite the people at the bottom of Mongolia, give them a force to rely on, make them our allies, and dismantle the rule of the Mongol aristocracy, so that they can disintegrate from within."
King's Landing followed the Emperor's words and completely confided his thoughts.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said lightly, although this Mongolian commoner is not good, how dare they resist the rule of the aristocracy. Their fear of the Mongol aristocracy has long been deep in their blood, how dare they connect with our Great Qian Empire? ”
"Why don't you dare? As long as the news is released, all the Mongolian people who are willing to surrender to our Daqian Empire. We are all our people, and we will open up markets in the two places so that they can easily buy daily necessities. What's more, we can also reward fertile land and teach planting methods. We will further widen the order of itching, educate the Mongolian people, and make them feel the prosperity of our Daqian Empire and the peace and contentment of our Daqian people, and further develop a strong admiration for our Daqian. ”
King's Landing was full of eloquent words, bursting with great ambition and confidence in every word.
"What this palace wants to do is not only to conquer this land, but more importantly, to conquer the people of this land, so that they can really become the people of my Great Qian Empire and assimilate the Mongolian people into my Great Qian's people.
The Mongols knew that they would have easy access to subsistence and would no longer have to be oppressed under aristocratic rule. If you pay for yourself, you will get it yourself, instead of working for the Mongolian nobles for free as before. Once this plan is successfully implemented, the Mongolian people will become our people. These people, like the nodes of a big net, are connected to each other and have become the cornerstone of the harvest of our Great Qian Empire.
In this way, do you still think that you have to fight with a knife to the bottom in order to solve the problem of confrontation between the two countries! ”
King Lintian paused slightly, his eyes swept over the scene, and the excited crowd spoke again: "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world." The Mongolian nobles did not know that the people's hearts were available, so our Daqian Empire would use the Mongolian people's hearts to completely conquer the Mongolian steppe. ”
