Chapter 1072: You must be civilized in front of barbarians
Li Hong likes things that Li Si doesn't like.
Li Hong likes the feeling of being in control of everything.
Just like Li Si likes poisonous insects and making money, they are just personal hobbies.
Li Hong was like the sun. He felt that if he could not be emperor, the society of the Tang Dynasty would immediately collapse, the world would be in turmoil, and the people would immediately fall into the miserable situation of not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to wear.
Moreover, apart from him, no one else could continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, whoever prevents him from ascending to power is the biggest sinner in the world, and he will kill him at all costs.
This kind of spirit of self-sacrifice was actually instilled in him subtly by Yun Chu in his daily education. Yun Chu selectively instilled in him many things that were not accessible to the society of the Tang Dynasty. These things
It was too advanced for Li Hong to show it to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
To be honest, Li Hong looked down on the natives of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
This kind of pride comes from the spirit, not from his status as the prince. Li Hongyuan is mentally stronger than the prince Li Hong.
Li Hong has always had two personalities. Now, the personality shown has always been the personality of Prince Li Hong. This kind of personality is humble, self-loving, motivated, sunny, kind, kind, polite and intelligent.
When he was alone, Li Hong was always a little proud, thinking that he might be the best prince in the world.
However, Xu Jingzong didn't believe it.
He felt that a person could not only have a good side, especially the Li family. Where were their surly, violent, arrogant, cruel and ruthless sides?
Before Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, became an emperor, he was also a man of outstanding talents, affection and loyalty. As soon as he became the emperor, he was ruined immediately, and all his negative emotions exploded. In the end, his country was ruined, his family was destroyed, and he died.
The fate of the genocide.
Xu Jingzong didn't want to express his doubts because he felt that he might not survive the day when Li Hong ascended the throne. In other words, he could always live in Li Hong's best years without having to worry about being violent in the future.
What responsibility does Li Hong bear?
After Xu Jingzong finished a large bowl of centipede rooster soup, he said to Li Hong: "Yunchu took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the southwest to quell the chaos. I think he is sure of victory. Aren't you going to Yizhou to take charge?"
Li Hong shook his head and said: "Yunchu said that the main purpose of going to the southwest this time is exploration, and countering the rebellion is just a matter of convenience."
Xu Jingzong nodded when he heard this and said: "That's true. The barbarians from the southwest are really overqualified and underused when they are sent out."
Li Hongdao: "I thought Taifu would say something like arrogant soldiers will be defeated."
Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "That's someone else. Yun Chu doesn't know how. Why, His Highness doesn't think so much of his contribution to pacifying Southwest?"
Li Hong smiled and said: "Luoyang is the battlefield of the lonely king, and the rest is not worth mentioning."
Xu Jingzong said: "That's true. His Highness does not need those extra credits to subsidize himself. Besides, in the Tang Dynasty, military merit is becoming less and less valuable."
Li Hong shook his head and said: "It can't be like this. Those who have no military merit will not be crowned. This must always be observed."
Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty is seizing the title. Your Highness's move runs counter to your Majesty's national policy."
Li Hong chuckled lightly and said: "Just wait until the father wins the title, and then the lonely king can reorganize the merit and title system."
Seeing that Li Hong looked like he was full of wisdom again, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Your Highness, no one is perfect."
Li Hong laughed and said: "Taifu thinks I will follow the same path as Emperor Sui Yang? Gu can tell you now that Taifu is too worried. The biggest difference between Gu and Emperor Sui Yang is that no one in this world is sorry
I.
From the moment I was born, my father and mother loved me, my master and master taught me with all their heart, my ministers and servants respected me, and the people of the world loved me. I got the woman I dreamed of and married a virtuous man.
Crown Princess.
The world owes me nothing.
But I owe everyone in the world a truly prosperous age.
The reason why Gu has so many advantages in the eyes of outsiders is because he is that kind of person, not a pretense. Gu sleeps very peacefully every day and is always looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
Today is stable, tomorrow is full of hope, and new things appear every day. Such an environment cannot breed those bad emotions in Gu's heart.
So, what Gu is like now is what he will be like in the future, and there won’t be any big changes.”
Hearing what Li Hong said, Xu Jingzong's face trembled and he said, "Your Highness said there won't be any big changes. How big of a change do you mean?"
Li Hong opened his arms and laughed and said: "Of course I want to create a colorful Tang Dynasty that meets Gu's wishes."
Xu Jingzong lamented in his heart and didn't want to say anything more. This sentence had already made it obvious that the subjects of the Tang Dynasty would not have any peace and joy in the future.
Li Hong will definitely keep tossing and tossing. Maybe the colorful Tang Dynasty that this guy envisions should be what Chang'an looks like now...
For now, this child is still young and has not yet shown his emotions and anger. In a few years, when this child starts to become truly calm, even the emperor will probably look at his face.
As for the queen, even Xu Jingzong didn't think she was any threat to the prince.
Deploying troops and generals is definitely not a matter of a moment. After Yunchu submitted the petition for war, he quietly stayed at home and began to study the map of the southwest and the humanities and features of the southwest.
Chang'an can be said to be the most suitable place for research in the Tang Dynasty.
There are not only countless official records, but also many people's essays and notes, as well as some good guys, and even many weird and strange stories based on the mystery of the southwest.
And they are systematically fabricated stories. For example, the Jiuli tribe led by Chi You finally retreated to the southwest...
Chiyou used to be from Dongyi. After being defeated by Huangdi, he ran all the way from Shandong to Yunnan and Guizhou. This is really nonsense, and this kind of nonsense is not conducive to the great unity of the nation.
The first person to make up this kind of story should have said that after Chi You was defeated by Huang Di and others, he did not run away, but surrendered to Huang Di and respected the emperor, and everyone lived happily together from then on.
In this way, in addition to Yanhuang, the ancestral temple of the Han people only has one more Chi You, which is just one more stick of incense. It is not a hassle.
Although such a story is disgusting, it can save a lot of people from dying and prevent the barbarians in the southwest from thinking that they are the descendants of Chi You and would rather die than surrender to Yunchu and the other descendants of Yan and Huang.
This kind of thing that affects unity should be said less and done less. Guys like Xing Tian who would rather die than surrender after death should not appear in the storybook of mythology, unless it is changed to swinging a giant ax at alien demons.
.
They can do this kind of thing very well with copper coins. When publishing these myths and stories in the future, they can just revise the content. Decades later, people will know from these new stories that Chi You is also the ancestor of China, Xing Tian
He is an immortal hero of the Han people.
As for the original version, as the books become tattered and the old people who knew the original version pass away, they will gradually become less known.
And each new story that is more beneficial to China will be passed down forever.
The Tang people were unwilling to go to places like the southwest, and the barbarians were unwilling to come out, but they also liked to rob. In addition, Yunchu was reluctant to give up the southwest, and could not give up the southwest. This was almost a dead end.
With no other choice, Yun Chu felt that he could humiliate himself by treating those barbarians who were illiterate, illiterate, and didn't know how to wear clothes as brothers.
Of course, not all barbarians are regarded as brothers. Those who have become civilized and still have a vague understanding of the world must be killed, because their understanding of the world is wrong.
We must tell those barbarian lower class people who are still in a state of ignorance that the Tang people are their brothers with different surnames, not the enemies who once killed their ancestor Chi You.
It should be a good strategy to kill the leaders and priests of the various tribes in the southwest and leave the ordinary southwest barbarians to continue guarding the southwest mountains that the Tang Dynasty is currently unable to take care of.
That's what Zhuge Liang did when he went there. Later, someone else did the same thing in the southwest. They all benefited from their barbarian brothers, and Yunchu felt that he could do it too.
They were all killed, and the result was nothing more than another group of savages coming to continue roaring proudly into the mountains and forests.
In this case, what is the significance of his going to the southwest?
Just to lead the armored soldiers to kill a group of people holding wooden sticks and bone knives struggling to survive in the miserable wind and rain?
The long-term solution is to open border trade, open mutual markets, and use materials to attract barbarians to come out of the mountains to exchange products.
"You want to make friends with Sheng Luopi?" Wen Wenwen was surprised after listening to Yun Chu's narration in a hurry.
"This man has just harmed nearly eight thousand soldiers of our Tang Dynasty. No one will allow this man to continue to live." Di Renjie also felt that Yun Chu's idea was too idealistic.
"Sheng Luopi's head must be made into a wine cup and presented to the emperor. This is non-negotiable. Not only Sheng Luopi, but also the barbarians who participated in those wars and tasted the benefits must be killed.
The remaining barbarians who are fighting against heaven and earth and struggling to survive are my brothers, Yunchu."
Wen Wen thought for a moment and couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly: "What do you want to do?"
Yun Chu said: "We'll see what happens when we get to the southwest. Generally speaking, when I go to the southwest this time, I will focus on comfort and communication, followed by killing."
Di Renjie said: "Before you leave, you must be prepared. Neither of us can help you this time. You are the only one with a group of children, so be careful."
Yun Chu said: "This is a trial and a good opportunity to test my ideas. As for the danger, to be honest, it's not that big."
Gentle said: "The most elite shopkeepers, the most elite guards, and the guys who know the southwest best, have all been prepared for you."
Yun Chu nodded, looked at the three flags fluttering in the wind on the roof of the main hall opposite and said, "We should also let the people of the Tang Dynasty know that war is not the only way to resolve conflicts."
