Step by step, Liu Che walked up to the throne. ※%,
In essence, Ganquan Palace is just a summer palace for the royal family.
In addition, Ganquan Palace was built on the ruins of Linguang Palace and Ganquan Front Hall in the Qin Dynasty.
What's important is that when the Ganquan Palace was being rebuilt, the Han Dynasty was experiencing an economic crisis. The price of rice in Guanzhong was three thousand yuan, and the prime minister always rode an ox cart when going to court.
Therefore, when Ganquan Palace was rebuilt, it was basically based on the principle of saving what can be saved and making full use of the complete palace design and materials of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Ganquan Palace became the most casual palace complex in the Han Dynasty.
How casual is it?
At the foot of Ganquan Mountain and in the valley next to it, there are a bunch of Liehou Villas.
The emperor came to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer heat, and these guys also came to soak in the hot springs.
In the previous life, after Liu Rong committed suicide, Dou Ying went to the villa here in Ganquan Mountain and stayed in seclusion, claiming to be a hermit.
But the question is, if you want to be a hermit, why not go to Zhongnan Mountain or Ganquan Mountain?
This is not a line of big words written on my forehead: I just want to let the emperor know that he is wrong!
Then, Dou Ying, who realized this, immediately started working again in a mess.
As for the specific design and layout of Ganquan Palace itself, it is also very casual.
Take the emperor's throne as an example.
The throne here in the North Hall is already the tallest one in Ganquan Palace.
But there are only five or twenty-five steps.
This was obviously unacceptable to an emperor who was ambitious and wanted to show off his superiority.
Therefore, Ganquan Palace underwent a large-scale expansion in history during the Xiaozhu period.
Basically all the illegal buildings of the princes at the foot of the mountain and in the valley were demolished.
It was replaced by a brand new Mingguang Palace, living room, psychic platform and the Royal Botanical Garden Wood Garden, which is also known as the Fairy Grass Garden in the later world.
But Liu Che didn't care.
He even thought that the design of Ganquan Palace was very good.
It allows the emperor to maintain a long-term close relationship with the country's ruling class princes, and can also mix sand among the princes anytime and anywhere to maintain the emperor's control over the nobles.
As an emperor, he can stay away from the masses and be unaware of the sufferings of the people, but he must not stay away from ministers and nobles.
Sitting down on the throne, Liu Che raised his head, looked at the military commanders and princes in the palace, and saluted him: "I pay my respects to your majesty. May your majesty live forever!"
"Without courtesy, please stay flat and give me a seat!" Liu Che said calmly. Wait until the ministers are all seated or standing in order.
Liu Checai said: "In recent days, I have heard that there are many public opinions in the government and the public, saying that the Huns are violent and cruel, and God will punish them severely. Now that the Huns are marching to the west, Wang Shi should come out of the clouds and return to Qin and Zhao.
Jiuyuan. The superior is in compliance with the destiny of heaven, and the inferior is the common people. I ordered all the ministers to come here today because I want to hear your opinions..."
When all the ministers heard this, they all sat upright.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, three important imperial military conferences have been held to deal with the Xiongnu issue.
In terms of record, the main fighting faction currently has an absolute upper hand with a two to one advantage.
The only time I lost was during the period of Empress Lu.
But, in reality, the Peace Party has been the mainstream in both the government and the opposition in the past thirty years.
Even among the princely classes who were naturally fanatical and fond of war, there were many who firmly opposed war against the Huns.
After experiencing the Heisei War, the shortcomings of the Han army were fully exposed.
The huge and heavy infantry group had poor mobility, coordination and movement ability, and was far unable to keep up with the Huns, who were mainly cavalry.
When fighting on the inside, you can also rely on cities and fortresses. Once you go out to confront the Huns, you can just deliver food.
No sensible general would fight a losing war.
Therefore, at the beginning, when Maodun was provoking and insulting her rudely and unreasonably, Guan Ying, who had always been a big boss, forcibly poured cold water on Empress Lu, thus dispelling Empress Lu's war intention.
So the question is, how did the main battle faction win the other two times?
The answer is simple. The emperor personally stepped aside and overcame all opinions, and used the emperor's authority to forcefully pass the war resolution.
In order to express his determination, Emperor Taizong even put on armor and an emperor's sword and visited the military camp in person to express condolences to the soldiers and boost their morale.
For the emperor to be able to achieve this, one can imagine how powerful the Lord Harmony Sect is.
But now the situation has been reversed.
Through thirty years of accumulation by two generations of emperors Taizong and Renzong.
Especially in the two years after Liu Che came to power, he continued to arm the army, strengthen the army's combat capabilities, expand the cavalry force, and build horse farms.
So far, the Han army has a new cavalry force of 80,000 men equipped with stirrups, saddles and horseshoes.
Especially after Xia Yanzhi married, the slaves and cavalry who came with her as a dowry taught the main forces of the Han army how to find water sources and identify directions on the grasslands.
Now, although the princes and generals feel that if they want to open up a posture with the Xiongnu and engage in a decisive battle, they may not be able to achieve a 100% victory.
However, if we just deal with the enemies of the Hetao without the Aries tribe.
That's something very simple.
Some people even think that it may be decided in a battle.
Just like last year's Yi Zong Xu Han destroyed Wei's Korea.
The main force of the Xiongnu was far away in the Western Regions. By the time they reacted, the Hetao had already entered the mouth of the Han Dynasty.
The most important thing is that Yi Zong and Xu Han destroyed North Korea, causing the Han Dynasty military to suddenly wake up to their instincts.
If that's the case, what are you waiting for?
Not to be missed!
Therefore, the situation between the ruling and opposition parties was immediately reversed.
A large number of peace advocates quickly changed their stance and turned into warmongers.
This is not surprising at all.
In the past, they proposed peace simply because there was no guarantee of victory, but the possibility of failure was very high. No one dared to take the risk of losing their army and humiliating the country after defeat.
Nowadays, as the strength of the Han army increases rapidly, various new weapons and equipment are put into use.
In addition, last year, the North Korean regime of the Wei family was wiped out effortlessly with only one armed march.
This made many people feel excited.
The concessions made by the Huns in the recent exchanges between Han and Huns also make people feel that the Huns do not seem to be anything special.
Back then, during the Battle of Pingcheng, the Han army with a large number of infantry was even at odds with Maodun.
Now, with 80,000 cavalry in hand, with the strength of the whole country, isn't it easy to defeat the enemy in Hetao?
For the Chinese scholar-bureaucrats and aristocrats, the temptation to establish a heavenly kingdom and conquer all the eight wastelands and surrender is an unstoppable and irresistible mission.
On this point, all schools of thought, except the Mohists, are unanimous in their opinions.
Therefore, the current situation that appears in front of Liu Che is that the Zhuhe Faction has completely collapsed.
The former mainstays of the peace faction, the generals and princes, collectively turned their backs and became warmongers.
As for public opinion...
Can you expect those Confucian scholars who keep shouting "Xiang Gong restored the revenge of the ninth generation, and the Spring and Autumn Period will be great", and the Legalists who insist on turning the entire country into a military machine to lead peace?
Even the Mohists, who strongly opposed war and advocated universal love rather than aggression, were actually secretly adding fuel to the flames.
As for why this happens to you?
Just take a look at the system of the Xiongnu and you will know that any true disciple of Mohism will not sit back and watch the tyranny of the Xiongnu continue.
To love each other is not to attack each other, you must first love each other!
What's more, Yi and Di have no human rights. This is the consensus of all schools of thought!
At the same time, in fact, the current Mohist family has been transformed by Liu Che into an organization similar to the military-industrial complex of the Mi Empire.
The current resurgence and prosperity of the Mohist family comes from the technical needs of the army and the young government for Moyuan.
During the Qin Dynasty, the Mohist family already knew what they should do in such a situation.
Mohists love peace?
This is probably the biggest joke in the world.
On the contrary. After the rise of Qin and the decline of Han, no one of the Mohist disciples wanted to go back to the past situation where inheritance was difficult and there was no support.
Although Moyuan did not express its opinion on the issue of peace.
But they quietly produced the first qualified hydraulically forged breastplate.
This actually shows their attitude.
Just like their predecessors did when they worked for the seven generations of kings of Qin: We still advocate loving each other and not attacking. After all, this is the signature of our ancestors, but as long as we don’t go to the battlefield in person, it doesn’t count.
It violates the principle of universal love and non-aggression.
Facts have proved that for any school or thought, the first thing they will consider is definitely not some illusory thing like a principled stance.
They must first ensure that they can survive, and then thrive.
As for principles, stances and integrity, what are they?
As for the old-school Huang?
After all the princes have defected, can you still expect these gentlemen, who are also members of the princes' class and noble group, to come out and uphold justice?
You should know that although the Huang-Lao School advocates doing nothing, it is closely followed by the words "doing everything".
Just as Sima Tan summarized the characteristics of Huang Lao's thought: Taoism's inaction, also known as doing nothing, is actually easy to practice, but its words are difficult to understand. Its technique is based on nothingness and follows the rules. It has no permanent momentum and no permanent shape...
What's more, in fact, Huang Laoxue and Legalism are actually two sides of the same coin.
One advocated that the government should do nothing, while the other emphasized that as long as the law does not provide for it, then it should be ignored.
Therefore, Liu Che knows that it is very difficult to calm down the current feverish clamor for war.
The generals want to make meritorious services and become princes, the nobles hope to use war to improve their status and power, and the ministers hope to use a victory to wash away the shame of the past and make themselves famous in history. Even the public opinion among the people generally calls for it.
War, demanding revenge.
Under the influence of the culture of revanchism, and the increase in national strength, the military's self-confidence and strength have increased.
In fact, the relationship between Han and Hungary was getting closer and closer to the edge of war.
The general trend of history is coming like a huge wheel.
Anyone who wants to block its progress will become a ridiculous Don Quixote.
Therefore, when Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was the first to report, what he said was a matter of course.
"Your Majesty, in the past, I served Chunjun and made a proposal to Emperor Gao: The Xiongnu King Baiyang and Loufan of Henan Province are going to Chang'an for seven hundred miles, and they can reach Qinzhong in a day and night with light cavalry. Although the Xiongnu have been driven out of Henan,
In Hetao, there are four kings of Xiutu, Kunxie, Loufan and Aries. You can ride to Xiaoguan in three days! Your Majesty once said: How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of your couch? Now, there are tigers and wolves sleeping soundly on your side of your Majesty's couch.
I secretly thought that for the sake of eternity, I would send troops out of the clouds to restore my homeland of Jiuyuan and drive the Xiongnu beyond the Yellow River!"
Zhou Yafu's words can be regarded as representing the long-standing consensus among the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers.
The Huns occupied the Hetao area, like a sword of Darkmos, hanging over the heads of the Han Dynasty.
To say that the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty can rest assured is just like hell!
Twenty or thirty years after the Battle of Henan, the Han monarchs and ministers have not wanted to regain Hetao and keep Chang'an away from the threat of the Huns' cavalry.
This is a fundamental issue related to national security and social security.
Even the former Lords and Factions, when they were at their strongest, said they wanted to strengthen their armaments to defend themselves against the Huns.
This is also the biggest difference between the peace faction in the early Han Dynasty and the appeasement and surrender faction in later generations.
The reason why the peace advocates in the early Han Dynasty advocated peace was because if they were consumed from the front, the losses would be too great and they would not be able to consume the Xiongnu.
But while they made peace, they never gave up preparing their troops for war and seeking revenge in the future.
Just like the Fengchun Lord Zhou Yafu said.
This person's real surname was Lou and his given name was Jing. He was later given the surname Liu by Liu Bang.
He is the founder of the Han Dynasty's peace faction and the initiator of the peace and marriage policy.
But even Liu Jing, after formulating the peace policy, returned from the Huns, he immediately suggested implementing the policy of strengthening the base and weakening the base to strengthen the power in Guanzhong and guard against the Huns.
After Zhou Yafu, Shen Tujia also said: "Your Majesty, when I personally met Empress Lu, I stood in the East Palace military meeting. At that time, the Xiongnu suddenly insulted Empress Lu with words and the crowd was excited. Everyone said: We can fight.
, Du Ying Yin Yi Hou Guan Gong Ba Ying stood up with a sword: Anyone who dared to speak of war was said to be killed, so Empress Lu stopped. Afterwards, the minister privately discussed the matter with Guan Gong, and Guan Gong said to the minister: "Don't we not fight?"
Huh? It's impossible to do. If I leave behind 30,000 cavalry and 10 generals, I can go out to the north of the fortress to attack the Xiongnu, take their chanyu's head, and hang it on the north gate! Your Majesty now has 80,000 cavalry and a million armored soldiers.
The shame of Pingcheng and the revenge of Empress Lu are happening now!"
Shen Tujia's words also resonated with many generals and princes.
Especially the generals who were blowing sand on the Great Wall felt the same way.
We all suffered and endured for decades in front of the Huns. Many of our brothers and sisters died under the attack of the Huns.
Who wants to stay inside the Great Wall for the rest of their lives?
A man should be happy with his grudges.
Regarding the Huns, everyone feels that it is time to let the Huns know how powerful we are.
The eighty thousand cavalrymen who have been equipped with brand new equipment are where everyone's confidence lies.
The new equipment and new tactics convinced every Han general that they indeed had tactical and equipment advantages over the Xiongnu.
What's more, the Huns were in the south of the curtain, and their military strength was empty.
It is the instinct of every qualified general to take advantage of his illness and kill him.
As for the peace treaty or something?
Isn't that just a piece of paper that is too hard to wipe your butt? (To be continued...)
ps: I decided to work hard this month. In the last month of 2015, I have to show some attitude no matter what~
