Chapter 77 Gu, I will fully support you!
The Fuhu Formation has really become a veritable "Fuhu Formation" at this time, and it subdued Li Yuanhu, a fierce tiger among men.
God knows how frustrated Li Yuanhu is right now. He can't get out of this formation, but he doesn't dare to use all his strength to break the formation, for fear of shocking all the immortal disciples who maintain the formation to death. That would be fun. .
After the immortal took action to remove the formation in person,
Li Yuanhu let out an extremely manic roar,
Then he quickly picked up the two hammers he had thrown on the ground before, and ran directly towards the south without even having time to ride the horse.
“Tsk, tsk, he actually ran away.”
The sixth prince looked like he was watching the fun and didn’t think it was a big deal.
"Yes, he actually ran away."
Zheng Fan's tone was much more relaxed.
No matter what, he was happy that Shatuo Queshi could run away.
At this moment, Zheng Fan, the master, did not know what role his two trouble-making men played in the whole incident.
It is not clear that the sudden change of direction of Shatuo Queshi's body actually has a lot to do with him.
In other words, that night, I wanted to carry forward the style of later generations, no matter what god I was, I paid my respects first and then talk about it;
I actually gave myself a godfather!
"Oh, it's almost dawn today."
The Sixth Prince stretched and continued:
"Zheng Lieutenant, let's not go back to bed in a hurry. , go outside and take a look?”
The Zhenbei Army’s action tonight is not just a scene here. In comparison, this can only be regarded as a small theater, and the real drama is not performed here.
“Okay, just after returning from a round trip, it’s time for the shops in the market to reopen.”
At four or five o'clock in the morning, the most embarrassing thing is not your schedule, but that you are hungry and can't find a shop where you can eat.
"Yes, I just happened to go out for a walk. When I come back, I will have a bowl of mutton soup, then take a bath and have a good night's sleep."
Zheng Fan went to lead the horse. The prince took his reins and mounted his horse.
"Commander Zheng, let's go for a walk to the north."
The sixth prince is good at equestrian skills and is much more proficient than Zheng Fan. Of course, this is also because the nobles of Dayan are not They like to use sedan chairs and everyone travels on horseback.
In their words, why are Qian and Jin so useless?
Everyone sitting on the sedan chair made their knees weak.
Going out of the archway and heading north, it didn’t take long to see a small cavalry team supporting the Northern Army. Zheng Fan and the Sixth Prince also encountered several interrogations. This should be after the war. , searching for fish that slipped through the net.
After traveling some distance north, a scene of Shuras appeared in front of the two of them.
The whole clan of those many tribes was wiped out. Don’t take any prisoners, just slaughter them all.
Even though this battle to destroy the tribe has ended, the blood on the ground has not had time to dry up.
"This is a genocide." Zheng Fan said with emotion.
Remembering that I was in Hutou City earlier and wanted to order the destruction of Chen's house, I hesitated.
But here, these real big shots often order the genocide, which is as simple as drinking water when thirsty.
The princess is like this, Xu Wenzu is like this, the old lady is like this, and meat eaters are like this.
A cavalry team appeared in front, with a Naduo tribesman tied behind each horse.
These are the tribesmen who escaped last night with the young clan leader Naduojiayang. They were captured, and Naduojiayang himself was also among them.
Of course, capturing them is not to keep them alive, but purely to squeeze out the last bit of their use value.
After a while,
the patriarchs of the other three major tribes slowly came over with their male relatives and descendants.
This is a
bloody ideological education class.
It's rough,
it's bloody,
but it's exceptionally effective.
After seeing this scene, the Sixth Prince on horseback said calmly:
"Yi Di are animals, fearful of power but not moral."
Obviously, the Sixth Prince I agree with this approach. To deal with barbarians, you have to fight to death.
This is the entire strategic model of Yan State, even a national policy!
When dealing with the northern barbarians, there will be no retreat, especially since there is a Zhenbei Hou Mansion in Beifeng County.
When facing Jin and Qian, the two sides can appear more civilized, and when everyone fights, massacres rarely occur.
Even the first generation Zhenbei Hou led 30,000 cavalry to defeat the 500,000-strong army of the Qian Kingdom, and when he led his troops to ravage the three northern counties of the Qian Kingdom, he did nothing more than cut down the big households to obtain grain and wealth. Those who could be relocated by the common people were moved back to the Yan Kingdom. This was indeed "ten houses and nine empties", but it was not the kind of "ten houses and nine empties" that often appeared in history.
“But killing cannot solve the fundamental problem.”
The Sixth Prince looked at Zheng Fan with some surprise and asked:
“Do you have a different opinion?”
Because Zheng Fan's words were simply a refutation of Yan State's political correctness.
“Unless the desert can be turned into an oasis overnight, simply killing will only lead to the next killing.”
Hearing this, the Sixth Prince frowned slightly and said:< br>
“You continue.”
“Dayan, there is no way to completely control the desert because the cost is too high.”
The desert is extremely vast, and the actual territory controlled by Yan State is like the gap between Hutou City and Tuman City in front of the entire desert.
The living environment here is extremely harsh. It is almost impossible to completely occupy it and completely wipe out the barbarians in the desert, because Dayan cannot afford this price.
Not to mention Dayan, even if the four eastern countries united together, it would be difficult to completely exterminate the barbarians.
This place is not suitable for farming or immigration. It is unrealistic to maintain the actual occupation of the desert.
If it could really be done, then the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been here for hundreds of years, and they would have done it long ago.
"There is nothing we can do about it. You don't know how much pressure it put on me, Dayan, during the heyday of the Barbarian Golden Family a hundred years ago.
My royal ancestors had my father before me. An example of a prince who was killed in battle and immediately went on a personal expedition after ascending to the throne in the capital.
Now that the barbarians have finally been defeated, it is naturally impossible to give them a chance to come back."
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood the meaning of humble position."
" Okay, you have a lot of good words, keep talking.”
"The cost and price of relying solely on force are too high. As far as I know, most of the Yan State's treasury revenue has to be transported to Beifeng County every year, right?"
The three hundred thousand Zhenbei Army, relying solely on It is impossible to support the family of Zhenbei Houfu, nor is it possible to rely on the strength of Beifeng County. It is the support of the whole country of Dayan that can maintain this 300,000 cavalry that makes the barbarians fearful!
However, the finances of Yan State were already difficult due to the large number of clans. At the same time, they had to maintain such a large field army, which was naturally even more embarrassing.
If the problem of the barbarian threat can be solved for a long time,
Just imagine,
Not to mention the issue of saving the military expenditure of the 300,000 soldiers to suppress the North.
You can just move the 300,000 soldiers to suppress the North from the north to the south.
Then expand the territory. , is it still called a difficult matter?
"Then what can you do?"
"Your Highness, the meaning of humble position is that force must be available. At all times, the absolute strength of force must be guaranteed, but at the same time , if you want to fundamentally solve the problem of the barbarians, you need another weapon.”
"What is it?"
"Culture."
"Oh, what good advice are you going to give about governing the country? Isn't it just poetry and etiquette?
< br>Let me tell you, when Grandpa Huang was in power, there was a Confucian scholar named Dishan in the court. One of the few great Confucian scholars in the Yan Kingdom studied in the academies of the Qian Kingdom. He once suggested that the emperor use Confucian benevolence and morality to influence the barbarians, and gradually make the barbarians understand etiquette and enlightenment, so that the desert can be restored.
Guess. How did Grandpa Huang respond to his suggestion? ”
"Simple, send him to Beifeng County as a guard officer."
"Huh? Have you heard about this?"
"Guess."
"The guess is really accurate. Half a year later, a barbarian tribe invaded the border, broke through the fortress, and beheaded Flute Mountain."
"Your Highness, I am not using Confucian methods to deal with barbarians. .”
"Then what's the use?"
"You can look around, search in the Yan Kingdom, search in the other three countries, or even go to the Western Regions, go further west;
See if there is any What kind of religion is similar to the beliefs of the barbarians, but also teaches people that this life does not matter, and expects happiness in the next life, or calls on people to stop working and concentrate on serving the gods. "
“I think I’ve heard of what you’re talking about.”
“Find them, then sponsor them to preach in the desert, and at the same time rely on the deterrent power of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to demand the barbarians The tribe leader must support this kind of missionary work. Anyone who does not support it will be beaten. Whoever supports it can develop well and be given a title, such as the Zhenbei Army's Unconquered Department
If this continues, the effect will be achieved in two generations. By then, the barbarians will become..."
"How will they become? ”
“Hospitable, good at singing and dancing. ”
Said,
Zheng Fan also stretched,
Said:
“The entire desert is filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Even if everyone starves to death, freezes to death, or is whipped to death by nobles, they still die with a sweet smile.”
"Captain Zheng."
"This is a humble position."
"After listening to your words, I feel so cold."
"That's because His Highness is weak."
"..." The Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, smiled, and said:
"Zheng Xiaowei, this is a method of digging for roots. What you are digging for is the barbarian's standing. Fundamental! "
The barbarians believe in the barbarian god. The phrase "barbarian god is above" is equivalent to the simplest ID card.
But if they were allowed to change their beliefs, it would be equivalent to separating them. From then on, the cultural beliefs in the desert would no longer be unified.
Can barbarians who do not believe in barbarian gods still be called barbarians?
At the same time, use political methods to corrupt its nobles, and then use religious methods to influence its huge bottom...
Tsk...
"Zheng Xiaowei, I There is no place for you in the Great Yanchaotang!”
"Your Highness is so flattering."
"It's a pity that I can't tell my father about this method, nor can I tell other ministers, let alone my second brother.
First, he is unwilling to give this method to others to achieve success. It's wise;
The second thing is, if they know that I, an idle prince, actually cares about national affairs, the consequences will be bad."
"The future, always. There is a chance.”
The Sixth Prince pointed at Zheng Fan and said with a smile:
"How many times has it been?"
"Your Highness, it is already the second day."
"Well , yes. But Captain Zheng, how did you come up with this method?”
“Your Highness, I am from Beifeng County. I have been favored by the emperor in my life, and I dare not forget about the country for a moment... …”
"Okay, okay, stop it, don't ask me anymore, don't ask me anymore, wait until you have the opportunity to say these words slowly to face the person on the throne."
" That’s what I have to say now.”
“This is the second time today.”
Actually, this method is not original to Zheng Fan. , but in the Qing Dynasty of that world, there were ready-made examples.
Because the Qing Dynasty was dominated by young people, and because of their origins, they had a better understanding of the grassland peoples. Because of this, they were able to prescribe the right medicine.
For example, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion’s method of reducing the four tribes of Guiyi was actually implemented in the Qing Dynasty to artificially control the population of the Mongolian tribes.
Every year, if nothing unexpected happens, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will take the princes and nobles to the north to spend the summer, and then many princes and nobles from Mongolia will also come together, and everyone will have a party together;
Then throw each other out for ten The marriage of multiple princesses and princesses will reward another wave of dividends.
At the same time, the imperial court encouraged Naha Dali to preach in the grasslands.
Therefore, the nightmare of the grasslands that had always troubled the Ming Dynasty did not cause much trouble in the Qing Dynasty, although there were occasional rebellions.
The Qing court also successfully castrated the proud and fearsome male wolf of the prairie old iron whom they had fought with back then into a husky.
Actually, Blind Bei also told Zheng Fan about another method. That method was simpler, more destructive, and more ruthless. It fully explained how vicious a blind old silver coin was.
That is.........Poppy.
But this suggestion was directly rejected by Zheng Fan!
Blind Bei also fully understood this!
"Here, it begins."
The Sixth Prince pointed forward.
Ahead,
Nadogayan was pushed to the first row, allowing him to see with his own eyes the destroyed tribes and the piles of corpses of his clansmen.
Natagaya collapsed,
He began to howl loudly, and he didn’t know what he was shouting.
Behind him, dozens of tribesmen who accompanied him to escape from captivity were also crying. Their family members also died last night.
Surrounded by three nobles, led by three clan leaders, they have been watching everything that is happening in front of them.
This is an order given by the old lady, and the three major ministries dare not disobey it.
At this time, a Zhenbei Military Academy lieutenant was stopped by the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince asked him something, and then rode his horse back to Zheng Fan like a treasure to show off to Zheng Fan Dese:
"That one in front of me The one who was howling, his name was Naduojiayang, he was the young clan leader of Naduo tribe. He was the one who had an affair with the Royal Court Sacrifice. The Royal Court Sacrifice was performed in his tribe last night.
You said. Funny or not? In order to facilitate the work of the priests, he also specially asked his concubine to sleep with his father, and at the same time asked his concubine to drug his father, the leader of the tribe, and fainted.
Therefore, when the three troops attacked Naduo last night, it didn't go very well. His father didn't wake up even when his head was cut off. "
"It's good, at least he walked without pain."
"Zheng Lieutenant, have your concerns always been so strange?"
"Your Highness, you are just a kind-hearted person who is humble in your position. The most unseemly thing is that people suffer."
"I am alone, I am alone. "
Zheng Fan looked at Nadokaya who was howling over there and said:
"He is also a filial son."
"Yes, yes, a filial son."
This reminded Zheng Fan of Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms, who was also a filial son.
It is very similar to the Nadokaya in front of me, but Nadokaya is really stupid.
After the education class is over,
Naduojiayang and others were killed one by one by Zhenbei soldiers.
The clan leaders of the three major tribes could finally close their eyes and leave with the nobles of their tribes.
Many nobles screamed with excitement when they led their troops to fight last night, but now they were dripping with cold sweat and turned pale as they watched.
Obviously, their brain nerves are a little underdeveloped, and now they feel the feeling of "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad".
Old lady grace,
They were not asked to go back and each write an 800-word summary of their experiences and submit it.
"Okay, let's go back and drink soup, it's too cold."
The Sixth Prince stirred up the reins and returned to the oasis with Zheng Fan.
The street market has become lively again, and the shops have begun to do business.
Today’s mutton is extremely cheap, almost ridiculously cheap.
This is thanks to the many tribes that were wiped out last night and contributed the entire clan's flock.
The soldiers of Zhenbei can live a much more comfortable life this winter. At least, they will not be short of mutton soup.
The store brought the noodles and mutton soup to the table.
Zheng Fan grabbed some green onions and coriander and sprinkled some into his and the Sixth Prince’s bowls.
The two of them worked together. Pick up the soup bowl,
Start drinking the soup slowly.
After half the bowl of soup was gone, the Sixth Prince first put down the bowl in his hand and said:
"Zheng Xiaowei, the Seventh Uncle wants to accept him as his apprentice."
"I know I know."
"But I want you to refuse."
Hearing this,
Zheng Fan put down the bowl in his hand and said
very seriously:
“I have been famous for Uncle Qi for a long time and have always admired his character. Now I have Such a great opportunity is in front of me..."
"It is true that I am an idle prince..."
They both stopped together.
The silence,
lasted for about ten seconds.
His Highness the Sixth Prince said:
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
Zheng Fan said with a smile: "I'm waiting for your highness to tell you about my humble position."
"Oh, it's true that Gu is an idle prince, but I have a way of doing business."
"Your Highness, there is no shortage of humble positions. Money and perfume are made from humble positions.”
“Gu knows, but Gu is the owner behind the largest trading house in Dayan Kingdom!”
Zheng Fan was heartbroken.
This also means that
in future generations,
the person in front of him is the "Sixth Dad", and he does not have the troubles of the Sixth Dad, because his surname is Zhao, oh no, Ji.
"Zheng Xiaowei, we have known each other for almost three days. I heard that in Qian Country, many couples may not even meet each other before they get married."
" Your Highness, just say what you say, don’t go too far, it’s okay to go too far, don’t go too far..."
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point."
"Okay, I'm all ears."
"In the north, big things will happen in recent years, and it's no longer suitable for your development."
>"So?"
"Go to the south and face the Jin Kingdom or the Qian Kingdom. They are much gentler than the barbarians, they are also considerate, and they are extraordinarily hospitable."< br>
"But, Your Highness, I like the wind in the North, the clouds in the North, the folk songs in the North, and..."
"The Guhui will fully support you!"
"Serve the country with loyalty, even after death!"
"Have you figured it out?"
"Your Majesty treats his ministers with kindness, and I will definitely devote myself to the country."
"Wait, what is your name?"
"Your Majesty?"
"Huh?"
"Not appropriate?"
"No, Call twice more, I like to hear it.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Hahahahahaha..."
The sixth prince slapped his thigh, then stood up and put his face in front of Zheng Fan,
The breaths of both sides are spitting out to the distance between each other's faces.
“Zheng Lieutenant, you really can’t kill yourself first.
I really don’t want to have to take action against you personally in the future, that would be so sad. "
Zheng Fan heard this and
replied:
"Your Highness can also learn from the statues in the temple..."
"What do you mean? ”
"Be a puppet."
The Sixth Prince was speechless for a moment,
pointed at Zheng Fan,
it took a while before he said seriously:
" But you can’t tamper with it!”
"You can avoid usurping a humble position, but you can't guarantee that your son will be humble."
After saying that,
the two laughed face to face.
“Hahahahahahaha………………”
“Hahahahahahaha……………”
The other diners in the mutton soup shop looked at the two of them as if they were two idiots who could be so happy just drinking a bowl of mutton soup.
The Sixth Prince laughed so hard that tears came out. In the end, he had to wipe his eyes with his sleeves, stood up, and said
“I’m tired, I’m tired. I have to go back to sleep. I have everything in my dreams.”
“Your Highness, don’t leave.”
The Sixth Prince, who had already left the table, stopped and looked back at Zheng Fan, asking:
"Is there anything else?"
Zheng Fan spread his hands,
"Your Highness , you have to settle the bill" (End of Chapter)
