Chapter 5092 Being war does not necessarily mean death!
"Your Majesty, my colleagues, I think everyone has some ambiguity about the words "Although the country is big, it will perish if it is wary." Their views are not profound enough, which has led to many misunderstandings, which affects the formulation and implementation of national policies. Therefore, it is necessary to explain my understanding here and ask you for advice and correction!"
Fang Jun has a straight waist and a full of momentum, with a casual face but a firm expression.
Everyone: "..."
I couldn't help looking at each other.
If you talk about poetry, songs, dances, and ink, no one here can compare to Fang Jun. After all, the comments such as "both poetry and lyrics" and "master of calligraphy" are not obtained out of thin air. In the world, there are very few people who can barely compete with him.
But when it comes to the right to interpret various classics and historical books, Fang Jun is completely not enough to read. After all, this person is a joke before, and he has not even finished reading "Han Shu"...
The civil servants were all energetic, and Liu Qi sat upright: "I wish to hear it carefully!"
Let’s see what kind of high-level arguments you, a "scientific" guy, can have!
Seeing Fang Jun as if a scholar and scholar were about to talk big, Li Chengqian, who had been as heavy as a water, became interested...
Fang Jun talked happily: "Whether you are wary, you will die, or forget about war, you will be in danger. First of all, we must understand what the essence of war is, or what supports a war?"
Without waiting for someone to answer, he directly named Li Jie: "Donald Ying is the first general in the empire. How dare you ask Ying Gong, what do you think about this?"
Li Jie stroked his beard and glanced at him dissatisfiedly. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with the high-profile title of "the first coach in the empire" or the person who watched the show. He pondered for a while and said, "There are countless areas involved in a war. The commander's formulation of strategies, the generals and the school's implementation of strategies, and whether the soldiers are brave enough to die... But the most important thing is logistics supply. The so-called "winning with less" seems to be exciting, but it is actually not advisable, because ten battles with less may not be able to win once. Even if there is one, it is just a lucky chance. Sufficient logistics supply is the decisive factor supporting a war."
The Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time. Although "going to become a general and a prime minister" has become an unattainable high standard, the current prime ministers and ministers are also skilled in military affairs and nodded after hearing this.
Liu Yu continued: "So to a certain extent, the war is about logistics, and logistics is money, food, weapons, armor and weapons... Now it is even more firearms. After a war, regardless of the outcome, the logistics consumed is astronomical."
Fang Jun nodded and gently patted the previous case: "So, this is the most fundamental reason why 'worry will perish'. For example, Emperor Wu of Han lost countless soldiers, money, grain, armor and weapons. Although he finally won the victory, he expanded the land thousands of miles and had a great reputation, and achieved a reputation comparable to the "Eternal Emperor", but he squandered the national finances. While his unprecedented victory, the people in the country were struggling, in dire straits, and even had a financial collapse."
He looked bright: "The original intention of 'war will perish' is to advise the king to think carefully before launching a war. Will this war be lost or profitable? If it is a loss, be cautious, but if it is a profit, why not fight?"
The imperial study suddenly became quiet.
Because this view is somewhat beyond the inherent thinking of everyone - from ancient times to the present, except for the chaos in the world and the melee of warlords in order to fight for the throne and unify the world, almost all other wars were fought against the Hu tribe on the grassland.
Whether passive defense or proactive attack, the purpose is either to defend the country or to be famous in history. How can one fight for money?
It is impossible to make money by fighting the Hu tribe!
What if it takes countless manpower, financial resources and material resources, and with the endless amount of domestic public opinion, what if it wins in the end?
How many cattle and sheep can be seized? How much land can it occupy?
No matter how many cattle and sheep were seized, most of them died before they could be driven back to the country; no matter how much land they occupied, they still had to send troops to station; as for the capturing population... the Central Plains dynasty had a large population, so what would those pickled and smelly Hu people do? !
Therefore, foreign wars in all dynasties have always been a loss since ancient times. The only difference is whether they lose a big loss or a small loss, and whether they have achieved strategic goals.
This is also the main reason why civil servants, mainly composed of Confucianism, relies on opposing war. The efforts and benefits are often completely disproportionate.
Since war is destined to lose money and there is a risk of defeat, how can we negotiate to resolve the dispute? At worst, it’s just to pay some money. If you are worried about domestic public opinion, then give the compensation a nice name, such as "annual monies". Anyway, the Central Plains dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, so how can a mere "annual monies" be worth it?
Even at some point, in order to curb the military, the civil servant group was willing to hand over the territory exchanged for countless soldiers' flesh and blood, and called "stop loss"...
As long as there is no war, power will be held in the hands of civil servants.
On the contrary, civil servants cannot check and balance the military and are forced to give up their greater interests.
Moreover, whenever arguing about war or not, civil officials will mention a classic case, which makes opponents irrefutable: the national conquest of Goguryeo, like Emperor Yang of Sui, ultimately led to the destruction of the country, which is simply a model of "war will perish"...
Liu Shi frowned: "You are a fallacy! The so-called profit is only possible when you win. If you lose, no matter how you settle the score before the war, it will be in vain. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if Ying Gong, who is always victorious, dares to assert that he will win the next war?"
Fang Jun smiled and said, "This is the fallacy! Isn't it depends on the opponent's victory or defeat in the war?"
He turned his head and asked Li Ji with a smile: "If we conquered the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goguryeo as we did back then, it would be hard to say that we would win. If we commanded our Tang Dynasty, we would set up warships to conquer Linyi, Johor, and the Lion Kingdom, can we win?"
Li Jie sighed and replied helplessly: "With ten times or a hundred times the strength of the troops, and the weapons and armor are crushed completely. If you cannot win the battle, you can punish yourself to thank the world."
There is naturally no reason to win in wars. You can "six hundred to one", and the weapons and equipment are formed to be different, supplemented by the bravery of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. "One Han is the ten barbarians" is by no means an exaggerated statement, and it is not easy to lose even if you want to.
Pei Huaijie couldn't help but say, "However, war is not a business. As long as the war begins, no matter whether the party is in dire straits, it is the people who will eventually suffer. Whose husband is not a husband, and whose son is not a son? If it turns into a pile of bones in the war, it will be so miserable for these people who hate war."
It seemed that political correctness was found, Liu Xiangdao quickly said, "That's right! After a big battle, only the history books saw 'annihilation of several enemies and casualties'. Who knows that it is the blood and tears of the people? In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, the most painful and difficult are the people!"
In the imperial study room, there was a lot of emotion, sympathy for the people and scolding suffering, as if all of them were transformed into sages at this moment.
"Dangdang"
Fang Jun knocked on the table with a teacup, looking puzzled and confused: "Everyone, are you stupid in studying? Why are you talking nonsense and talking nonsense?"
Liu Xiangdao was so angry today that he asked, "Which sentence is a false statement, and which sentence is a nonsense?"
"In front of Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal made a rude statement and had no respect, and did not care about the dignity of the important officials of the court. It was really too much!"
"Under the war, there are blood and tears, and the people are crying miserably. Can the Taiwei refute it?"
"The Grand Marshal only saw his great achievements, but how many of the soldiers who followed you to fight returned to their hometown safely?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Cold-blooded and indifferent, extremely cruel!"
For a moment, the crowd was in a raging mood and criticized Fang Jun.
Li Chengqian watched coldly and refused to stop him.
Fang Jun knocked on the table again, and when he calmed down in the imperial study room, he said seriously: "Those soldiers who followed me to fight were naturally promoted and earned generous rewards, and those who unfortunately died in battle were all given good pensions and had no worries. I have a clear conscience to them."
Liu Shi said: "No matter how much pension is, how can it be more important than life? I think his parents, wife and children would rather not have those pensions, seizures, and land, but they just want their sons, husbands, and fathers to come back alive."
Fang Jun turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and sighed, "Your Majesty, I have a advice. Please dismiss the Secretariat and choose the wise and capable. This person is pedantic and ignorant of the world. He only knows some of the principles learned from books, but he has no ability to apply it to govern the country. Such idiots rule the world and assist His Majesty, I am afraid that it will cause a big mistake in the future and will be left with a regret for thousands of years!"
Li Chengqian glared at him, pursed his lips and refused to speak. This guy was used to being so sarcastic and sarcastic, and most people really couldn't stand it.
Liu Qi was so angry that his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Grand Marshal, let me tell you how pedantic my official is, how ignorant I am in the world? If you say it right, I will resign in front of Your Majesty and abdicate and give in to the wise! But if you say it wrong, I will definitely not have a break with you!"
He was ruthless on his face, spoke harshly, but his heart was actually a little weak, and his mind was moving quickly. He recalled whether there was anything wrong with his words just now. After all, this Fang Er seemed honest, but was actually smart. If he caught the handle, it would be amazing.
Thinking about it all the time, I don’t think I’m wrong...
But when he saw Li Jie on the side, he was shaking his head and sighing, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, realizing that something was wrong.
Fang Jun's eyes were bright and imposing: "I dare to ask the Secretary of the Communist Party of China, why has the Tang Dynasty been established and the foreign wars won in every battle?"
Liu Shi snorted, not answering, looking like he was "asking knowingly."
In fact, he dared not speak...
Liu Xiangdao, Pei Huaijie and others also realized that something seemed wrong and closed their mouths tightly.
Fang Jun's face was solemn and his voice shook the house: "Only the soldiers fought to the death!"
"Why do soldiers dare to fight to the death? Are they willing to sacrifice their lives, shed their blood for the empire, and never die? Of course, most of them don't even know the big words, and they know what kind of feelings for the country and the people? The most important reason is nothing more than the rewards!"
