Chapter 374 Taking the world as a game to gamble on people's hearts
The queen looked at Liu Mingzhi dully, unable to regain her composure for a long time. Liu Mingzhi's words completely subverted Liu Mingzhi's previous image in her mind.
I am guarding for myself, not for the dragon.
As she thought about it, the queen became even more confused. It turned out that Liu Mingzhi was not as pedantic as she thought.
He has his own unknown plans in his heart, but no one can see through his thoughts or understand his thoughts.
The Queen was so excited when she returned home, the confusion in her bright eyes staring at Liu Mingzhi was particularly obvious.
She really wants to ask Liu Mingzhi, since you know everything in your heart, why are you still serving the Li family so recklessly? Now that you have the strength to rebel, you can become the king on your own.
If you are worried that you do not have enough troops to win a big victory against the powerful elites such as the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang and the Protectorate of the Western Regions, I can help you.
Your junior brother Hu Yanjunyao can also help you. Others don’t understand that little girl’s attitude towards you. Don’t you understand that little girl’s attitude?
With the two of us helping you, you don't have to worry about the world being uncertain.
Liu Mingzhi didn't know if he noticed the Queen's gaze. He put down the wine glass in his hand, raised the wine jar and started drinking. It felt like a happy grudge in the world.
The wine flowed down from the corner of her mouth and wet the skirt of the Queen's chest. The Queen did not speak a word, but quietly looked at Young Master Liu who was drinking heavily from the altar, waiting for him to drink to his heart's content.
"call!"
"happy!"
Liu Mingzhi threw the wine jar casually on the table, lowered his head and looked at the Queen with a chuckle.
"Wanyan wants to ask in her heart, since I know everything and understand everything, why am I willing to be the court's dog?"
"With my current power, I can completely establish myself as king and rule the world with your help!"
The Queen was stunned, her lips parted slightly, and she looked at Liu Mingzhi in astonishment. She didn't know what to say, so she could only nodded stupidly subconsciously.
At this moment, the Queen has completely lost her former domineering, shrewd and wise appearance, just like a little fangirl when she was ignorant.
"To put it bluntly, under the governance of you, the Lord of ZTE, the Kingdom of Jin is prospering day by day, and the national treasury is becoming increasingly abundant. Let me ask you, after you have sent out all 480,000 elites, with your current strength, can you still recruit them within three months?
Three hundred thousand recruits?”
The Queen was silent for a while and shook her head silently.
"Although our population in Daijin has increased significantly due to mutual trade, most of them are adult children, and there are very few people who can be recruited as soldiers!"
"The national treasury has traded with the Turks many times because of its military equipment and war horses. Although it is not said that the national treasury is empty, it is still stretched, especially as there is a money-grabbing thing like the fire dragon chariot."
"Although I shouldn't tell you, I still want to tell you politely that today's Daikin can no longer withstand the second war."
"If this trip to the south ends without success again, and faced with Dalong's revenge, I, Dajin, will have no choice but to move our capital and retreat to the north!"
"Yeah! You are quite self-aware!"
The Queen was about to retort when Liu Mingzhi looked out the window with deep eyes.
"You should know what official position I held before becoming the governor of Northern Xinjiang, right?"
"Left Minister of the Dalong household!"
"Yes, since you are so devoted to me, Liu Mingzhi will not hide it from you. With the current tax revenue and population of Dalong, it is not important to recruit 300,000 new soldiers in three months. As long as the court is determined, it can be done in less than three months."
Recruit 300,000 soldiers again."
"The dragon is now lacking neither gold, silver nor population, it just lacks time to train soldiers!"
"Let me tell you this, based on the distance from Yingzhou in our northern Xinjiang to the capital, after you destroy our northern Xinjiang, when you arrive in the capital, you may face 600,000 new recruits, and it is not impossible to face 900,000.
!”
"If the imperial court gives up on natural and man-made disasters such as droughts, floods, and locust plagues, and uses all its might to deal with you, you will have no chance of winning!"
"The development that Ruizhong and I have worked hard for over ten years is not as simple as you see?"
"Liu Mingzhi rebelled? What did he rebel against?"
"It's true that the dragon's momentum was slightly weakened, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Just because the dragon takes a nap does not mean that he has become a little snake and can be slaughtered by others!"
"You...I...I..."
The queen looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"To put it bluntly, the reason why you are able to go south is because the court in our rear has not been completely stabilized due to civil strife. The new king is young and lacks courage to intimidate the officials."
"If Ruizong is still alive and everyone in the court is united, don't talk about going south. I am afraid that I will already lead a million troops to the camp!"
"So, Dalong is not in troubled times now. The people are displaced, hungry, and rebelling. Someone must follow you to rebel!"
"You can live a good life with no worries about food and clothing, but who would stupidly follow you to do something with your head stuck in the waistband of your pants?"
"Let's talk about another question of human nature! If you were not the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, but a vassal king who supported his troops and respected himself, would you take the dragon's troops and the Turks' troops and horses to slaughter the people of your own Jin country?"
"What kind of inhumane person would lead others to slaughter his own compatriots?"
"me....."
The Queen didn't say anything for a long time.
"Rebellion is always just civil strife, a matter of one's own people fighting one's own people!"
"The Kingdom of Jin has studied Dalong for many years. Don't you understand what it means for brothers to fight against foreign humiliation together?"
"They say the Turks are unreasonable and uncivilized!"
"But when the Huyan Royal Court fought fiercely with the Spies Royal Court in order to unify the grassland, I, the old Duke Wanbuhai, ordered me to regain Heshuo and Hetao, but the Turks of the Huyan Royal Court still subconsciously withdrew their troops.
Let the Royal Court of Spieth use all its strength to deal with my army heading north."
"Although the Huyan Royal Court did not send troops to help, the Turkic soldiers and horses of the Huyan Royal Court stationed at the Moro River have invisibly put pressure on my Northern Expedition Army when they regained the lost land in Heshuo and conquered the Spisi Royal Court!"
"Those among us who are uncivilized all know that when one's own people fight against one's own family, this is internal strife. If an enemy comes, we still have to unite as a front to resist external humiliation!"
"Liu Mingzhi must be extremely conscientious and take your Jin army and Turkic cavalry to slaughter his own compatriots and brothers for the sake of that chair."
"Why should you ask me, Liu Mingzhi, to do something that neither you nor your junior brother can do?"
"To be disrespectful, even if Liu Mingzhi rebels, it is my own business. None of you can interfere. If you interfere, you will be my enemy."
The Queen fell completely silent. She no longer knew how to refute Liu Mingzhi. She had thousands of words in mind when she came, but she couldn't say a single word at this moment.
The Queen couldn't help but ask herself, could it be that she had always thought too simply and too aggressively?
He always thinks about Liu Mingzhi from his own perspective, but never thinks about whether what he wants to give is what Liu Mingzhi wants.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the queen and walked towards the window sill. He put down the queen and pointed at the city wall and the Jin Army camp.
"Caution!"
"In this battle, our three countries all suffered heavy casualties, but for Dalong, it was just a small chaos!"
"The world is in chaos, but it's still far from enough!"
"If you think about it carefully, Dalong's Confucian culture is deeply rooted, and it regards you as a foreign race. If you are not from my race, your mentality will be different!"
"If I don't fight this battle!"
"The dragon has won, the Kingdom of Jin, you can predict the fate of the Turks without me telling you!"
"As for the Turks, except for my junior brothers Huyan Yunyao and Hu Yanyu, the Turks from various tribes in the grassland have regarded me as a two-legged sheep for a long time. It has been a thousand years since the Huns."
"If the Turks win, our Dalong people will definitely suffer numerous casualties! Although my junior brother ordered not to harm the Dalong people, it is true, but after getting jealous, for the sake of war merit, there are still few cases of killing good people and taking advantage of merit.
"
"As for the Kingdom of Jin, except for you and Yue'er, the people and dignitaries of the Kingdom of Jin don't seem to be very friendly to the people of Dalong! What happened to the Turks does not mean that it will not happen to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin!"
"After hundreds of years of fighting, the people of the three countries will be able to live in peace after unifying the world? Don't even think about it!"
"Without the restraint of equal political decrees, things will happen in the world that will cause more casualties than national wars."
"Another point is that no matter who wins, he will prefer the people of his own country to formulate laws and unify the world. It is not as simple as saying something in four words."
"It's easy to conquer a country, but it's hard to sit on it!"
"To be conceited, I, Liu Mingzhi, will fight this battle. It's just a little chaos!"
"Without me, Liu Mingzhi, as a buffer in the middle, no matter who wins or loses, you will soon know what the real chaos in the world is!"
"You will clearly see that the number of people who will die after unifying the world will be several times, ten times, or even a hundred times the number of casualties in this national war."
"I have opened the magic box of the West. If things develop as I say after unifying the world, it will be tantamount to self-destruction."
"Perhaps, the two characters Yan and Huang will be completely annihilated in the long river of history!"
The Queen fell silent and did not say a word for two full incense sticks.
"If your dragon wins this time, will the emperor spare you? There is no way to cover up the unauthorized deployment of troops."
"So I have to fight this battle, and it must be fought by me!"
"Perhaps I am cruel. There is no one among the soldiers in the six cities of Northern Xinjiang who does not owe me, Liu Mingzhi, a debt of gratitude for both public and private matters!"
"These debts of gratitude were all paid for by my brothers with their lives!"
"I, Dalong, have won. Don't mention the mere deployment of troops. I, Liu Mingzhi, have promised to stand on my own feet. What can your majesty do to me?"
"Although His Majesty is young, he is not a fool. He knows that Dalong can no longer withstand the second civil strife, so he will only comfort me!"
"Moreover, it's still the same sentence, the late emperor asked me to leave alone!"
"If I, Liu Mingzhi, don't have 300,000 cavalry to guard you, Your Majesty will understand what it means to feel aggrieved!"
"Of the veterans in the court, some of them are simply the same generation."
"In other words, if I, Liu Mingzhi, die, you will definitely go south to attack the city."
"After the Sixth Guards of Northern Xinjiang were implicated by your soldiers and horses, some people with different intentions will teach Your Majesty a lesson you will never forget."
"The new king is young, and the situation in Northern Xinjiang is precarious!"
"Those who don't want to be inferior to others don't think twice, Liu Mingzhi will smash your little brother to you on the spot!"
The queen looked silently at Liu Mingzhi, who had deep eyes.
"After saying so much, you still haven't said what the sentence you left me really meant."
“What does it mean to “break and then build again”?
"Haha... You are the emperor, what do you think the people want most?"
"The people want peace of mind, of course the people want stability!"
"But now that the world is not in chaos, how can the people think about peace?"
"Whether it is to obey the will of nature or to rebel and cause chaos, it is all just a matter of His Majesty's thoughts."
The Queen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly took a breath of cold air and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a hint of fear in her bright eyes.
"You...you...you have too many thoughts..."
Liu Mingzhi raised his fingers to cover the Queen's lips and shushed.
"Planning is a word that depends on everything being prepared!"
"Working hard is just a reckless move!"
"In the final analysis, this is just a game from beginning to end!"
"A bet about the human heart!"
"A gamble with the world as the bet and the Three Kingdoms as the pawns!"
"And loyalty is Tianyuan. You once asked me whether I am loyal to His Majesty or to the court."
"Liu Mingzhi tells you now that I am loyal to people's hearts."
"Whether Liu Mingzhi is loyal or treacherous depends on the human heart."
Thinking of the new soldiers and food, Liu Mingzhi's eyes became a little gloomy.
"I can't guarantee what people's hearts are like!"
