Chapter 143: Feeding War with War
The eldest prince Li Chengye was amazed.
He never expected that Li Changfeng would be able to say such heroic words, and he couldn't help but start imagining the scene of being admired by 10,000 people when he ascended the throne and led the army to fight against the Southern Barbarians.
Li Ji was amazed, but more angry and worried.
Because from the eyes of Emperor Qianwu, as well as some courtiers and generals, it can be seen that they agree with this concept very much.
However, this is just a beautiful fantasy after all, things are far from that far, and as long as everyone comes to their senses, they will not allow that situation to happen.
He was about to refute this, but Li Changfeng, who paused for a moment, looked at the many generals, continued to speak, and said loudly: "You have all shed blood for my Daqian, do you want me Daqian to grovel so much?" Have you lost your bloodiness and fear war because you have been at peace for so long? Are you willing to let the children and grandchildren of the great cadres poke your backbone? Are you willing?! ”
"Daqian is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and today he compromised and sent the thirteenth princess to make peace, will other strong enemies follow suit and ask for the princess? If I marry a princess of the right age, do I have to cede the land and sue for peace? Or is it an indemnity and a tribute to sue for peace? ”
The person who can enter the eyes of Emperor Qianwu and be appointed as a military general, which is not an elite general, but a gall.
This series of questions made the eyes of most generals burst into an astonishing look, and their expressions became excited.
Li Changfeng took a deep breath and said loudly: "In a country, the soldiers have the character and blood, and only then can the country have hope, so that it will not be bullied!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Changfeng looked at Emperor Qianwu and shouted: "I should have a backbone!" Not with the pro! No compensation! Don't cut the ground! Don't pay tribute! The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qianwu's expression became even more excited.
Seeing this scene, Li Ji was anxious.
He hurriedly interjected: "Father, don't listen to his demagoguery, how can you fight without money?" By mouth? Do you rely on a passion for blood? Can you keep your stomach from being hungry? ”
This series of questions was like a basin of cold water, pouring on the heads of Emperor Qianwu and everyone.
Oh, yes!
No matter how good you say it is, no matter how strong you are in your heart, how can you fight a war without money?
In an instant, everyone calmed down, even the radical wing of the military.
They want to fight all over the world and make meritorious contributions, but they must also respect reality and must not drag the great cadres who have worked so hard to build up into the abyss of war.
Even Emperor Qianwu sat on the dragon chair with a depressed face.
There seems to be no choice but to be close.
Emperor Qianwu said in a low tone: "That's it, that's it, pass on my will, and the thirteenth princess Li Mingzhu ......."
However, he was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Li Changfeng.
"Who says you can't fight without money? Erchen ......"
As a result, he hadn't finished his words yet, but was interrupted by Li Ji again.
"Ridiculous! Without silver, do you want my soldiers to drink the northwest wind? ”
Hearing this, Li Changfeng's face sank, looked at Li Ji, and said coldly: "Eggless soft bones, dare to interrupt this prince's speech again, be careful that this prince will beat you to death!" ”
"You dare!"
Li Ji shouted and didn't seem to be afraid at all, but his body took a few steps back very honestly, keeping a safe distance from Li Changfeng.
Emperor Qianwu naturally didn't believe that he could fight without silver, but he was very curious about what Li Changfeng said, so he scolded Li Ji: "Shut up!" ”
Then he looked at Li Changfeng: "You continue." ”
At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Li Changfeng.
Li Changfeng said in a firm tone: "Erchen's method is very simple, to raise war with war!" Select elite soldiers and strong generals without heavy grain and grass, with the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat and the indomitable momentum, crush the enemy's living force as quickly as possible, and seize the enemy's grain and grass for their own use, so that there is no need to worry about running out of silver! ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qianwu and many generals in the army fell into deep thought.
Li Ji sneered: "It's ridiculous, who can guarantee that every big battle will be won?" Once there is no supply of grain and grass in the event of failure, will not all the previous achievements be wasted and the losses will be heavy? ”
Li Changfeng suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ji, and said coldly: "Thinking about defeat before fighting, you are a spineless and self-confident waste, what qualifications do you have to discuss this matter with this prince?" If you dare to say more, this prince will kill you! ”
"You! ......" Li Jiqi trembled, but he didn't dare to say much, so he could only ask Emperor Qianwu for help: "Father, the emperor ......"
Emperor Qianwu waved his hand to signal him to shut up, and then looked at Li Changfeng: "The strategy of using war to nourish war is very good, but what Li Ji said is not unreasonable, what do you think?" ”
"Father, the son also understands this truth, the matter of grain and grass can be discussed in the long run, but this battle must be fought if it is not fought."
Li Changfeng also knew that what Li Ji said was very reasonable, if he failed, what should he do?
Lack of food and grass, no silver, will put all the soldiers in a difficult situation.
But this point can be discussed in the long run, and even he is willing to use his own money as military salary, as long as Li Mingzhu is no longer sent to his relatives to discuss peace, but when it comes to this kind of national affairs, it must be discussed in the long run, and all he needs to do now is to give a strategy.
Li Changfeng arched his hand and said: "Father, the elite who followed you to conquer the world back then are still there, what is the mere Nanban?" If you don't dare to fight now, wouldn't it be even more unbearable to wait for those recruits who have no actual combat experience and have not seen blood when they are all dying, and who have no actual combat experience and have not seen blood? Nanban has not fought for many years, how can it be the opponent of my great cadres? ”
Emperor Qianwu frowned, his face hesitant.
As Li Changfeng said, when those hundred battle divisions who followed him in the southern and northern wars were all dying, how could the cadres still have usable soldiers?
What's more, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, and when those experienced battlefield veterans can't ride into battle, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, who will lead them?
Seeing this scene, Li Changfeng continued: "People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, and this is especially true of a country! For the sake of the future of the great cadres, it is necessary to train a group of young generals and a strong army that will make people feel frightened, so that they can deter the small and small, and in the future, when the national strength of our cadres is at its peak, it will be possible to expand the territory. ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qianwu's frowning brows relaxed, and he had been completely persuaded by Li Changfeng.
Before he could speak, Ye Qingcang, who had never spoken, spoke.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
After three praises in a row, Ye Qingcang looked quite excited, and arched his hand to Emperor Qianwu: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes said is far-sighted, which makes the old minister admire!" You must know that there is only peace in this world, and I should have backbone! The strategy of fighting to nourish the war is even more said to the old man's heart, without fighting on the battlefield, how can he temper a strong army? ”
Speaking of this, Ye Qingcang let out a long sigh, and after looking around at everyone, he said in a somewhat low tone: "When I wait for the veteran to finally go to the battlefield, if there is no successor, wouldn't it be dangerous for me to do it?" ”
After a pause, Ye Qingcang took a deep breath, his expression gradually became firm, and an astonishing momentum erupted on his body, and his momentum was like a rainbow: "The old minister Ye Qingcang is against sending his relatives to discuss peace, and only wants a fight!" ”
Ye Qingcang's prestige in the army is rarely matched, and Li Changfeng's remarks have reached the hearts of all military generals.
Immediately, a large number of generals followed.
"Oppose sending relatives to negotiate peace, just ask for a war!"
"The last general seconded it!"
"Fight!"
For a while, the call for military generals became louder and louder.
Although civil officials do not fight on the battlefield, literati also have a backbone, and what Li Changfeng said also aroused the enthusiasm in their hearts, and it is very reasonable to be far-sighted, so they all echoed and agreed.
Even the officials who supported Li Ji also expressed their approval.
They supported Li Ji's succession to the great unification, but this did not prevent them from thinking about the present and future of the great cadres.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Qianwu's mouth.
After the eldest prince Li Chengye saw it, he even said loudly: "Father, what the Nine Emperor Brothers said is enlightening, and the sons and daughters also think that they can't send their relatives to discuss peace, and they should teach the Southern Barbarians a bloody lesson with the power of thunder!" ”
Feng Quji also said at this time: "His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is moving, and it is a superior policy to raise war with war, and the old minister thinks it can be implemented!" ”
Even Feng Quji, the capital of hundreds of officials, expressed his attitude, and there was no opposition in the Xuanzheng Palace.
Seeing this scene, Li Ji knew that the general trend had gone, and his face couldn't help but be a little pale.
Emperor Qianwu laughed even more.
The worries in his heart have completely disappeared.
Li Changfeng's sentence "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the society" aroused his pride.
Emperor Qianwu took a deep breath, and said in a firm and loud voice: "I hereby declare that I am not in harmony!" No compensation! Don't cut the ground! Don't pay tribute! If the Nanban dares to offend me, he will be punished even if he is far away! ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the Xuanzheng Hall was brought to a climax, and everyone was excited, and the pride in their hearts was stimulated.
After a while, after everyone calmed down a lot, Emperor Qianwu looked at Li Ji, the disgust in his eyes was undisguised, and he said indifferently: "As the prince of my great Qian, you should have backbone. ”
"Father's ......"
Li Ji still wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by Emperor Qianwu raising his hand, and then looked at Li Changfeng, and the look of appreciation on his face was undisguised.
"Backbone, well said!"
The contrast between the attitudes of Emperor Qianwu before and after made Li Ji go crazy with jealousy, but he had no choice but to look at Li Changfeng with hatred.
What Li Changfeng said in the court today must have greatly increased his prestige in the hearts of the military generals, especially the great praise of Emperor Qianwu and Ye Qingcang, which made Li Chengye feel an unprecedented huge threat.
Although he had an appreciative smile on the surface, he felt a chill in his heart.
The second prince Li Shou, the old enemy, is completely finished, but there is a stronger enemy.
Next, Emperor Qianwu discussed with his ministers the specific strategy of using war to support the war.
Li Changfeng did not participate because he had no experience in leading troops to fight, and returned to the corner very low-key to continue to be his little transparent.
Finally, Li Mingzhu doesn't have to go to kiss, the mother doesn't have to worry about it, and he doesn't have to feel guilty anymore.
This is the countermeasure he thought of when he returned to the mansion last night and meditated, and the effect was unexpectedly good.
Li Changfeng couldn't help but sigh a little, the spirit of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, even if it was used in this world, it was still so exciting.
It took two hours for this court to discuss the specific plan of raising the war with war, and Emperor Qianwu announced his retirement from the court in a happy mood.
Li Changfeng was about to go to Jingren Palace to tell Li Mingzhu and Concubine Lan the news in person, but was stopped by a neutral voice.
