Chapter 687, The Clash of Ideas

Nemo glanced at Matur and said worriedly, "I think we have provoked a terrible opponent that we shouldn't provoke!" ”

Mathur smiled and said, "I'm afraid no one wants to believe this kind of thing." Nemo frowned and said, "If you don't want to believe it, you can't change the facts. By the time we have to accept this cruel truth, I'm afraid the catastrophe has come! ”

"There may be some truth to what you say," Mathur pondered. But I don't think things will turn out the way you think they are! It's true that Da Ming is much stronger than we think, but our Da Tianzhu will never lose to them! Our Great Tianzhu is the most powerful human empire in history, and no race can compare to us in terms of overall strength! The Han people should be cowardly, and what we encounter today should only be a very small number of outliers in the Han army! Besides, we still have invincible war elephants, and no army can fight against us in the field! ”

Nemo was able to understand Matur's remarks, and in fact, what did he instruct Matur, I'm afraid all the soldiers thought so. Nemo, as a Tianzhu person, understands the thoughts of the Tianzhu people very well, although his compatriots have seen the facts, they are not willing to believe this fact that they cannot accept, they would rather believe their own imagination. But then again, Mathur's words may be reasonable, the overall strength of Da Tianzhu should be far above Yan Yun, and the formidable enemies encountered in the past two days may really be just a few outliers among the Han people. The Han people have always been cowardly, and they should not be so brave and good at fighting.

In the big tent, Kshatriya, as the generalissimo, was discussing with the general Singel.

Kshatriya asked, "What do you think about the situation at hand?" Singh frowned and said, "The cowardly Han people are cowering in the precipitous fortress, and it is not easy for us to forcibly attack them!" Such a forcible attack, even if we finally break the fortress in front of us and then capture Dali City, I am afraid that we will pay a heavy price, which is really worth the loss! ”

Kshatriya nodded and asked, "What do you think?" Singh said: "Our Da Tianzhu is the chosen people, so naturally we will not be afraid of the Han people in the East!" It's just that if there is an easier way, why should we have to fight them to the death ourselves! Generalissimo, if we suffer heavy losses in order to exterminate the Han Chinese, I am afraid that we will be taken advantage of by the Bagans! ”

Kshatriya's heart moved, he glanced at Singar, and said, "You mean, let the Bagan people fight the Han people?" Singh smiled slightly and said, "Pu Lipeng is aggressive and wants to seek revenge on the Han people." Let's just fulfill him and let him fight with the Han people. When they fight to defeat both, we can sweep the entire Dali in one go, and maybe we can take the opportunity to attack the Sichuan region of the Han people! I heard that the Sichuan region of the Han people is very rich, far surpassing Dali! It is even rumored that the place where the Han people live is the place that is most like the heavenly realm! Such a good place should belong to a chosen people like us, how can it be occupied by those inferior peoples! ”

Kshatriya nodded approvingly, looked at Singar, and said, "Your suggestion is very good, so it's decided!" ”

Bianliang, the mansion of 'Huaxu'.

Pavilion leader Wang Lu took a letter and came to the bedroom behind the public court. Looking around, there was no figure, only the man's clothes and pants and women's clothes and pants were thrown everywhere, and one of the women's black belly pockets hung in the corner of the screen, which was particularly eye-catching. Immediately, the whispering voice came from behind the landscape screen on the left, followed by the woman's two soft laughter, which shook people's hearts. Wang Lu immediately realized what was going on, and her delicate face couldn't help but turn red, and she bowed to the landscape screen and hugged her fists and said, "Your Majesty, eldest sister, the latest military report has come from Dali." ”

The lazy and soft female voice came out: "Take it in." ”

When Wang Lu heard this, her heart couldn't help jumping, and she lowered her head and turned the screen. When I came to the bed, I saw that the underwear of men and women was scattered on the ground, and the rich fragrance came to my nose, although I didn't see the scene on the bed, but a picture of blood boiling involuntarily appeared in my mind. Wang Lu stretched out her hands, put the letter on the edge of the bed, and quickly retreated. When she returned to the outside of the screen, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and when she thought of her eldest sister's naked appearance, she couldn't help but be hot and emotional. He quickly shook his head and left quickly.

Behind the screen, Yan Ji sat on the edge of the bed, naked, with slender legs, perfect arcs, and wisps of green silk on the fragrant shoulders, reflecting a beautiful face that Chang'e would be jealous of when she saw it. Yan Ji put one beautiful leg on top of the other, picked up the letter, opened it, took out the letter and read it. Yang Peng sat up from behind, gently caressing Yan Ji's smooth skin, and kissing her pink neck with his lips.

Yan Ji felt a little itchy and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, there's something serious!" ”

Yang Peng put his arm around Yan Ji's waist, his head rested on her fragrant shoulder, looked at the letter in her hand, and asked, "What does it say?" ”

Yan Ji said: "It's a report from Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng tricked Duan Zhichun into leaving Fengyu County by deception, and then completely annihilated his main force near Dali City, and at the same time captured Fengyu County. ”

Yang Peng Yanjing lit up, and hurriedly took the letter from Yan Ji's hand and looked at it. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay! Shi Liancheng did a great job! He is becoming more and more skilled in the use of stratagem! Then he thought: "In this way, the Dali City area will become a strong fortress that is enough to resist the enemy!" He smiled, "Yes, yes!" That way, at least the worst should be unlikely! After a pause, he pondered, "But you have to consider the worst-case scenario." Think about what to do if they can't resist it? ”

Turning his head to look at Yan Ji, he asked, "I remember receiving a report yesterday that 400,000 people's troops had been mobilized in Sichuan, Henan, and Hanzhong Jiangnan regions?" Yan Ji nodded and glanced at Yang Peng charmingly. Yang Peng remembered the scene of reading the report on his bare ass yesterday, and couldn't help laughing.

Then he thought: "Considering the current situation, I think we should send these 400,000 people's troops." ”

Yan Ji said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the combat effectiveness of the people's army is very unreliable? Why are they being sent again? ”

Yang Peng said: "Without trying, it is difficult to know how much of a role these people's armies can play." What I would most like to see in this big war is that our reserve army and military mobilization system play the role we expected. Now I have seen the role of the military mobilization system, although there are still some unsatisfactory points, but on the whole I am very satisfied, hundreds of thousands of military troops and hundreds of thousands of civilian troops have been mobilized in a month. Now it will be up to us to see if our reserve military forces can play an adequate role. ”

Yan Ji smiled and asked, "Isn't Husband afraid that the people's army will not be able to be adults, and we will suffer heavy losses and setbacks?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf!" Without taking the slightest risk, how can we know what the strength of our reserve forces is! ”

Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng's face, raised her slender hand and stroked it gently, and said with an obsessive expression: "Husband, do you know? Your bold and fearless temperament is the most charming! Yang Peng hugged Yan Ji's slender waist, kissed her red lips, and the report in his hand floated down.

Yan Ji suddenly pushed Yang Peng away and got out of bed. Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji in surprise. Yan Ji smiled charmingly, raised her slender jade hand and stretched out to Yang Peng, her chin was slightly raised, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised as if she was smiling, and the expression in her eyes was like a fairy and a demon. Yang Peng only felt that the three souls and seven spirits were attracted to her, and he couldn't help but reach over and hold her slender hand and get off the bed. Yan Ji leaned on Yang Peng's shoulder, her red lips were close to Yang Peng's ear, and she said in an extremely seductive tone: "Husband, let the concubine serve her husband well!" Yang Peng only felt that the bones in his body immediately softened, and there was a feeling of fluttering immortals......

Yang Peng sat in the study of the palace, listening to the reports of the people left behind in the cabinet, but he looked absent-minded. patted his head, and temporarily suppressed the beautiful images in his mind.

I only listened to Tang Shidian and said: "......." There is such a trend of thought not only among the people in the market, but also within the academy. The minister felt that this matter could not be ignored, so he specially asked His Majesty to try it. ”

Yang Peng didn't understand what he was talking about, and asked, "What is the trend of thought you are talking about?" ”

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Tang Shidian said: "Returning to Your Majesty, at present, there is a trend of thought in the market and within the university. We believe that the world has been decided, and no one can threaten us, and that the empire should change its policy of focusing on conquest and war, and instead focus on the national economy and people's livelihood. ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "Hasn't this matter already been decided?" Why are there different voices again? ”

Everyone only felt that His Majesty was angry, and they didn't dare to speak for a while. Huang Qiaoyun said: "Big brother's remarks, although many people agree with them! But there are still many people who don't think so, and have other ideas. Many people prefer peace rather than war, just like they like to work hard. Although the truth has been made clear, many people are still afraid of war and want to avoid it! Everyone nodded.

Yang Peng frowned and said: "The truth between war and peace is obvious, why can't I understand it!" Some people are really hiding their ears and stealing bells! ”

Tang Shidian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are always some people in the world who are ignorant. Since such a trend of thought has emerged, it is good to find a way to deal with it. ”

Yang Peng smiled bitterly: "What else can be done?" In addition to education, it is still education. You can't kill them all because they have different opinions! ”

This practice is like Qin Shi Huang burning books and pit Confucianism. As a result, Confucianism seems to be a victim and Confucianism seems to be the defender of righteousness. Moreover, speech and ideological things are not sinful, and cannot be condemned because of words. Chen Xiao said.

Everyone agreed very much, and bowed one after another: "Your Majesty is wise! Huang Qiaoyun said angrily: "What the eldest brother said naturally makes sense, but some people's remarks are annoying!" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "It's just a matter of being angry, but you don't have to take it too seriously." Huang Qiaoyun glanced at Yang Peng, and the look in his eyes seemed to say: Big brother, you are generous!

Yang Peng smiled, looked at Tang Shidian, and asked, "What is the ideological attitude of the professors and teachers from all over the world?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, all the professors and teachers basically agree with Your Majesty's thoughts. As for them, Your Majesty can rest assured that we have assessed their minds when choosing professors and teachers, and there should be no problem. Tang Shidian said. Yang Peng nodded. Tang Shidian frowned, and said with some concern: "What the minister is worried about is not that their thoughts are inconsistent with Your Majesty, but that some of them are too radical in their thinking, which will affect the students, and then have a far-reaching impact on the entire Ming Dynasty!" There is a part of the professors and teachers who are very disgusted and angry at the pacifist trend in society and among the students, and in many public places and in their classes, they make fierce statements against pacifists! Even the ministers have received many letters of request, asking them to ask His Majesty on their behalf to severely punish those pacifists! ”

Yang Peng frowned and thought, "This is not good!" Very bad! The crowd agreed. Huang Qiaoyun frowned and said, "If this kind of hatred is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will cause a catastrophe sooner or later!" ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but think of the tremendous damage caused by religious hatred in the Western world, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Although the current situation within the Ming Dynasty is different from religious hatred, the essence is actually the same, and it is all hatred caused by ideological differences. Once this kind of hatred spreads uncontrollably, the damage caused is absolutely no less than an all-out war, or even more tragic! Yang Peng didn't expect that his action to transform this society would cause such a result of ideological confrontation, which was really unexpected!

Yang Peng thought in his heart: "Today's thoughts are still just a bud for you, and you must find a way to solve this confrontation before it has developed out of control!" We must not allow the tragedy of religious hatred in the West to play out in the East! At this thought, he thought about it carefully, and he wanted to think of a way to solve the problem. When everyone saw Yang Peng thinking about things, they didn't dare to make a sound and looked at him.

After a while, Yang Peng raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "The ideological problem still needs to be solved by means of education. Since it is a disagreement between war and peace, we will publish a book on war and peace, and we will thoroughly explain the relationship between war and peace. There can be no peace without war, and avoiding the results of war can only lead to destruction in the end! Only eternal war can maintain eternal peace. The two are actually one, like yin and yang, like heaven and earth, sun and moon, man and woman, they are inseparable! It's impossible to want just one of them! While we enjoy the happiness of peace, we must also endure the suffering of war! ”

Everyone showed a look of thought, only to feel that His Majesty had spoken more thoroughly today, which made some of the things that he couldn't figure out before suddenly become clear.

Huang Qiaoyun said: "Big brother is right. War and peace are like one's happiness and suffering. Everyone only needs to be happy, not suffering. But how is this possible? Everyone has a responsibility that must be assumed, with this responsibility, pain will follow, and the result of your responsibility will often reap happiness for you, so happiness and suffering run through everyone's whole life, no one is an exception! Wishful thinking that as long as you are happy, you will only get greater misfortune in the end! Only those who can endure suffering can have enviable happiness; And for a country, only if it can withstand war, habitual war, can there be a truly lasting peace! ”

Huang Qiaoyun said: "Without war, there will be no peace, and conversely, without peace, war will become meaningless." Then he said excitedly: "Your Majesty is really insightful!" In a word, the relationship between war and peace could not be more clear! The crowd agreed.

Yang Peng said: "There are several very talented and thoughtful professors in your university, so you will take the lead and organize them to compile a book on war and peace. This is to settle the strife. ”

Tang Shidian bowed and promised.

Yang Peng couldn't help but think: "I don't know if this method is useful!" People are often stubborn, and I don't know if such a book can completely turn people's minds and settle disputes! ’

Yang Peng put this worry behind him for the time being, and now all he can do is strengthen education, and as for what will happen in the future, whether a tragedy similar to Western religious hatred will happen in the future, there is no way to control it now.

Collecting his mood, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Is there anything else I need to report?" ”

Chai Yongqi clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already issued all the ordnance from the Sichuan armory to those civilian troops in accordance with Your Majesty's order." At present, the 400,000 people's army is fully armed and on its way to Dali. Yang Peng nodded.

Zhang Xiang said with some concern: "Your Majesty's decision is naturally extremely wise!" It's just that the ministers are stupid, and they can't help but worry that those people's armies can play the role we want! ”

Everyone also showed a look of concern. Huang Guangdao: "The minister is also a little worried. Although those civilians were trained in military affairs, they were not soldiers after all, and they never really fought the enemy. Suddenly starting a war with a strong enemy is really reassuring! Everyone nodded their heads and turned their heads to each other, and the scene was buzzing.

Yang Peng raised his left hand, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled: "There's nothing to worry about!" Our main force of the Ming Dynasty is not experienced in war from the beginning! I am confident that the performance of the People's Army will live up to our expectations! Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the people's army really can't shoulder the heavy responsibilities and suffers a major defeat, it is nothing, at least it makes us understand the combat effectiveness of our reserve forces, which is good for the future. ”

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise with admiration, and they only felt that only a hero like His Majesty could have such courage.

Chai Yongqi said worriedly: "If the people's army is defeated, I am afraid that it will endanger General Shi Liancheng!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, "This point really has to be considered. Therefore, I have decided to send 100,000 soldiers from Datongfu Road to aid Dali, and make Duan Zhixian the commander. ”

Everyone looked at each other. Huang Guang clenched his fists and said, "Hasn't Your Majesty been guarding against the Liao Kingdom?" Now he suddenly transferred 100,000 troops from Datongfu Road to the south, in case the Liao State ......"

Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, at least don't worry about it now." The Liao State is now attacking Khorezm, and it can't take care of anything else for the time being. They will never dare to have more troubles at this time, and the army can be mobilized. Huang Guang nodded and said, "I forgot about the Liao State raider Khorezm." ”

Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no opinion." ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." The cabinet immediately drafted an order and sent it to Yanjing, ordering Yang Jiumei to forward it to General Liu Zhiliang. The crowd stood up and promised in unison.

After the meeting, Yang Peng walked alone in the imperial garden. At this time, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, a lake is sparkling, and the scenery is not beautiful. Yang Peng only felt that his troubles disappeared without a trace in an instant. I couldn't help but think of the wives and children who were far away in Yanjing, and I couldn't help but show a happy smile on my face. Walked to the edge of the lake, sat on a large bluestone, picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, and with a plop, the stone fell into the lake, causing a circle of ripples. Yang Peng only felt that it was a very happy thing to have a family waiting for him.

Yang Peng only felt as if a boulder was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe. Soft footsteps were heard behind him. "Husband." A gentle call. Yang Peng turned around and saw Yan Ji standing behind him, so he couldn't help but hug her and bury his head in her arms.

Yan Ji smiled charmingly, thinking that her husband was taking advantage of her again. But when I saw my husband's lonely and sad expression, I was shocked. I couldn't help but gently hug my husband's head, and gently stroked my husband's hair with my palm. In an instant, I only felt that my husband seemed to have become a child, and I couldn't help but feel the feeling of maternal love in my heart.

"Husband, do you have something on your mind?" Yan Ji asked softly. Yang Peng had already collected his mood, raised his head, and winked at Yan Ji, with a wicked smile on his face. Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then realized that her husband was playing tricks with her, and she couldn't help but glance at him. However, when his eyes brushed his eyes, he was surprised to find that there were tears faintly in his eyes, and his heart was shocked. She suddenly realized that her husband had a deep heart in her heart.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
