Chapter 36: The One Who Was Born to Know
"Dashuai, the Elven Empire has invaded, and the situation in the south of the imperial court is afraid that it will be erosive!" In the compound of the headquarters of the Ninth Legion of Pingman City, Zhou Yi accompanied Huangfu Lesheng in the courtyard.
"Alas, the urgent report has been sent to the Seventh Army and Luo Jing, everything that should be done has been done, and it can only be done to obey the destiny of heaven!" Huangfu Le Sheng frowned, when he arrived at the Moon Department that day, he heard this earth-shattering military situation at first glance, and he did not dare to slack off. He immediately sent someone to send an urgent telegram to the Seventh Legion of Nanyue City in Baiyue County, and at the same time escorted the captured elven spies to Luo Jing.
However, the Elven Empire has been planning for a long time, and I am afraid that this time it is menacing, and it is still unknown whether the Seventh Legion can stop the invaders.
"It's been more than ten days, the handsome thousand miles of urgency, plus the eldest prince personally escorted people into Beijing, Luo Jing should also react. On the same day, Zhao Mu was assigned by Huangfu Lesheng to escort a cadre of prisoners into Beijing with the pro-military battalion of the Ninth Army Corps.
"Don't talk about this, you have handled the matter of the half-elf clan very well, I have already presented your merits on the table, presumably the court has its own reward. Huangfu Lesheng turned his head and looked at the cheap disciple he had received with satisfaction, and he was extremely satisfied with Zhou Yi's expression.
"If there is no army of teachers to suppress the realm, the imperial court will accumulate great power, and the half-elf departments will not be lightly submissive. Zhou Yi said humbly, now that he has experienced a great dream, he seems quite calm, which makes Huangfu Lesheng also impressed.
"Although the imperial court has accumulated great power in the border areas, as soon as the army arrives, the rebels of all ethnic groups and tribes have been quickly suppressed or voluntarily surrendered, but as time goes by, they surrender and rebel. In this way, the imperial court is now a little powerless. Now, although this half-elf clan is caused by the injustice of the previous pacification envoy, the empire has long discriminated against them, and unscrupulous nobles and merchants have wantonly grabbed slaves and sold them, which is where the root lies. Huangfu Lesheng said in a heavy tone, then looked at Zhou Yi and asked, "You are good at thinking about problems, and you also have a strategy in your chest, but is there any way to solve the affairs of the half-elf clan once and for all?"
Zhou Yi lowered his head and pretended to think, he actually had ideas, but he was only a staff officer of the legion, and this method was a bit of a suspicion of usurpation.
"Don't have scruples, it's just that you and I discuss it privately with the master and apprentice. Huangfu Lesheng saw Zhou Yi's hesitation, so he spoke to dispel his concerns.
"Teacher, there is also a method to try, but I don't know if the court is willing. Zhou Yi raised his head and said.
"Tell me!" Emperor Fu Lesheng was even more pleased now, originally he didn't think that Zhou Yi could think of any way to solve this matter, after all, for thousands of years, this was a chronic disease between the empire and the surrounding races. Zhou Yi, a young man, how could he think of a good plan immediately. He just asked tentatively, who would have thought that his disciple really had an idea.
"Yes, teacher. I think that the various tribes in the frontier have gathered and scattered with the imperial court from time to time, and it is nothing more than because the imperial court has not actually put them under effective management, and the tribal leaders of the various ethnic groups are still in charge, and these people sometimes belong to the imperial court for their own interests, and sometimes rebel. The root of this situation lies in the fact that the empire did not treat all the frontier tribes equally. ”
"Then what do you think?" Zhou Yi said that Huangfu Lesheng had indeed thought about it, but it was not as thorough as Zhou Yi thought, he just simply thought that his heart would be different if he was not of my race.
"Change the land and return to the stream and integrate culture!" Zhou Yiyi clenched his fists and bowed to Huangfu Lesheng.
"Tell me more!" Emperor Fu Lesheng was very surprised.
"Changing the land and returning to the stream, as the name implies, is to change the self-appointed leaders and nobles of each clan to be appointed by the imperial court, and the tribes with mature conditions should change the local officials to the liuguan system implemented by the imperial court. The real power of the various clans was no longer in the hands of the hereditary patriarchs, but in the hands of officials appointed by the imperial court. For the immature tribes, the empire should support them in building fixed urban settlements, and give them a certain degree of autonomy, such as the military and diplomatic power in the hands of the imperial court, but give the day-to-day management rights of the clans of the patriarchs. "This change of land and return to the stream is actually the policy of the southwest ethnic minorities in the Ming and Qing dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty in the previous life, and now it is being used by Zhou Yi.
"In this way, the various ministries are actually under the effective control of the empire, which is a very good strategy!"
"In fact, this is only to control these races from the system, but if you want to make them unite with the empire once and for all, you need cultural integration, or racial integration. Zhou Yi went on to say that changing the land and returning to the stream is a tough way to control it, and sometimes it is too rigid and easy to break.
"You go on!" Huangfu Lesheng became more and more interested, and the plan to change the land and return to the stream just now was very appropriate, and he was even more looking forward to the integration of the fundamental law and culture that Zhou Yi said.
"Racial integration has three aspects, but it takes a long time to be effective. The first is to allow the imperial Chinese to marry with all ethnic groups, not only between the people at the bottom, but also to encourage the Chinese and the aristocratic officials of all ethnic groups to marry each other.
The second is cultural assimilation, the establishment of academies among all ethnic groups, the teaching of advanced literature and martial arts to the children of all ethnic groups, and the infiltration of the concept of loyalty and patriotism. In this way, ten years later, the younger generation of all ethnic groups will only know allegiance to the empire and not the difference between races, and once these people dominate the various ethnic groups, they will surely become the subjects of the empire. This policy is easier to implement, and the yearning of all ethnic groups for the way of imperial civility and martial arts must be deeply understood by the teacher;
The third point is to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, allowing the children of all ethnic groups to join the imperial army and civilian ranks, treating them equally, and making them have the same interests as the imperial court, and these people will naturally spare no effort to maintain the empire. There is no need to worry about their participation in the imperial army and the civilian system, after all, their number is far less than that of the Chinese, and there are even fewer capable of serving as generals, and they cannot shake the control of the Chinese over the empire at all. ”
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped talking, and asked Huangfu Lesheng to think about the pros and cons by himself.
After a long time, Huangfu Le Sheng looked at Zhou Yi with complicated eyes and said: "Intermarriage is okay, but the other two strategies are difficult! Martial arts are in the hands of all major sects, and Wendao is in the hands of all the holy courtyards of the empire, and they still cherish the commoners of the empire, so how can they talk about teaching foreign races? difficult, difficult, difficult!"
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Huangfu Lesheng actually supported his strategy in his heart, but the stubborn forces within the empire let him know that this matter was difficult to do. So he finally told his true purpose.
"Teacher, let's not talk about martial arts for the time being, after all, martial arts cheats are the foundation of the various sects to gain a foothold, and we don't have a suitable one to teach. However, it is not difficult to teach culture and education, and the Imperial Holy Academy is just teaching its disciples to promote their own doctrines. Wen Dao is not just what they master, they don't want to teach, I'll teach it!"
"You, you said you came to teach?" Huangfu Lesheng's eyes were full of disbelief, although he knew that his disciple had a furrow in his chest. But what is the Sacred Courtyard and what is the Sacred Academy? It is the accumulation and summarization of the successive generations of sages of various schools of thought over the past thousands of years to form a faction of the Sacred Academy, and only then can it constitute a faction of Literature, and this kind of background is not something that you can compare with if you can read and write.
"The disciple is not talented, but he has learned by himself all these years, but he also has some experience!" Zhou Yi was no longer humble at this time, but had a decent bearing.
The Secret Collection of Calligraphy and Dao that he mastered at this time was worlds apart from those Holy Academies of the Empire, and the accumulation of tens of millions of years in the world was comparable to those so-called Holy Dao disciples of the Imperial Holy Academies who were behind closed doors and resting on their laurels. What he lacked was that these knowledge of the Tao had not been written down or disseminated, so he had not communicated with the Holy Dao and could not use the power of the Holy Dao for the time being. But when his Dao communicates with the Holy Dao, this Dao will crush all the Holy Courtyards and control the power of the Holy Dao, and there will be no problem at all.
"Oh, is it? I want to hear your words! I don't want to let you down the group of nerds who don't want to see the Imperial Sacred Academy!" Huangfu Lesheng was a little unswerving about Zhou Yi's arrogance at this time, but all these words were a little unpolite.
"My literature and Taoism absorb the strengths of many families, and there are innovations, including thousands!" Zhou Yi said proudly.
"There is no need to boast, since it contains the heads of all families, can you talk about the military science in your literary path?" Huangfu Lesheng unceremoniously interrupted Zhou Yi's bold words.
"Yes, teacher. Then I will tell the teacher about the art of war that I have summed up, and ask the teacher to correct it. Zhou Yi did not refute, but said eloquently:
"The art of war says: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.
........................
The husband who does not fight and the temple is counted as the victor, and the person who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, it is counted as less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! From this point of view, victory or defeat can be seen. ”
A "Sun Tzu's Art of War" began to tell the story, and after the words were finished, there were bursts of thunder in the clear sky, which was the birth of the Holy Dao on the Eastern Continent in response to this military master's mastery.
Huangfu Lesheng was stunned by the subtlety of the art of war and the thunder in the sky, and then his face was full of solemnity, staring at Zhou Yi and saying, "This is the art of war you came up with?"
Since he had plagiarized and had no way to explain the source of the art of war, Zhou Yi said casually: "Yes!"
"As you just mentioned, is there any more to this art of war?" asked Huangfu Lesheng then, now that he had no contempt.
This is the "Beginning of the Plan", and there are 12 articles below, such as "Operations", "Attack", "Military Formation", and "Troops". ”
"It's really unbelievable, just listen to your detailed description of the "Beginning of the Plan", you can know that this art of war should be a classic, and it is a masterpiece of the art of war. You are so old, you can make such a huge work, it is really eye-catching, this is probably born to know!" Huangfu Lesheng was shocked, he had heard of those who were born to know, but he always thought that this was a legend, and now that Zhou Yi was a living example standing in front of him, he really believed that there were really people who were born to know in this world.
"Teacher, I like to think about these things on weekdays, and I can't afford to be praised by the teacher!" Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard Huangfu Lesheng praise him like this.
