Soon, Lanling received a letter from this strange fiancée.
When he opened it, he saw that the handwriting inside was beautiful and sharp, as if it were drawn by a sword.
There are only a few simple words on it: "Sauron, if you dare to get involved with me again, if you dare to say that I am your woman again, I will kill you!"
Lan Ling shuddered, the content of this letter was really domineering.
Suddenly, Lan Ling couldn't help but be full of curiosity and expectation for his cheap fiancée.
At this time, instructor Hidehiko said: "Okay, let's start class now. Today's task is still a policy essay, and the title is: What is the basis for the strength of the Kingdom of Nulang?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, and this topic was already talked about badly.
Instructor Hidehiko said: "Over the past hundred years, many others have either declined, even been destroyed, or have stagnated. Why is it that only our Kingdom of Furious Waves is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no sign of decline?"
Suddenly, a fair-skinned and delicate young man raised his hand high.
"Ji Min, you are a member of the royal family, please tell me." Instructor Hidehiko said.
"There is no doubt that it is the samurai system of our Kingdom of Nulang." Mi Min said: "The Imperial City Academy continuously supplies samurai with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, supporting the most basic ruling class of the kingdom. When the basics of a country are stabilized,
That’s how powerful you are.”
Instructor Hidehiko didn't make any comments, he directly clicked on the name and said: "Doro, you are the future Marquis, can you tell me what is the foundation of the strength of our Raging Wave Kingdom?"
The fat Doro stood up and said: "Of course it is because of the wise kings of all ages. The reason why a country is strong is entirely because of its supreme leader, who always illuminates the way forward for us."
Hearing this answer, many people present laughed out loud, feeling that this person's flattery was really naked.
But Lan Ling felt that the Duoluo in front of him had a pig-like face and a bright heart, and he was definitely a smart person.
Next, Instructor Hidehiko asked the students one by one.
There are various answers, but basically they do not deviate from the previous category. They are nothing more than the wisdom of the king, the superiority of the samurai system, the excellence of the noble class, the continuous supply of talents to the kingdom by the Royal City Academy, etc.
Instructor Hidehiko never expressed any opinion, but the disappointment in his eyes could be seen from his slightly furrowed brows.
Finally, he shouted: "Sauron, what do you think is the foundation of our kingdom's strength? In the past hundred years, other countries also have warrior systems, academies, and wise kings. Why is it that only my kingdom of Raging Waves continues to thrive?"
Strong and rising rapidly?”
Lan Ling stood up and hesitated for a moment. Ordinarily, he should keep a low profile at this time and hide his clumsiness.
But since childhood, he has always been a person with a soft appearance and a sharp heart.
He stood up, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on him, wanting to know his opinion.
"It's very simple, because of geopolitical politics." Lan Ling said a brand new term.
Suddenly, Instructor Xiuyan’s eyes lit up and he said: “Keep talking.”
Lan Ling said: "The Kingdom of Nulang borders the Yan Empire to the north and the Wanli Barbarians to the south. This special location is the fundamental reason why the Kingdom of Nulang has always been strong."
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately sneered and said: "It's really funny. The Yan Empire in the north is the world's hegemon, and the barbarians in the south are the most dangerous place. You actually say that such a dangerous location is the foundation of a strong country."
Lan Ling said: "If you are willing to fight, you will perish; if you forget to fight, you will be in danger; you will be born in sorrow and die in happiness. It is precisely because of the dangerous location of the Nulang Kingdom that the rulers of all ages must be vigilant and not dare to slack off. The barbarians in the south are warlike.
, in order to survive, the Kingdom of Nulang can only continue to
Strengthen yourself. Who can make you strong is, of course, your enemy. Even a beast, if there are no natural enemies and food is available everywhere, its claws will be blunted and its fangs will degrade.
.As is the case with beasts, so is the country.”
As soon as these words came out, the place suddenly became quiet.
Instructor Xiuyan showed admiration and said: "Have you finished? Is there anything more?"
Although he said this, he no longer expected Lan Ling to say anything deeper. After all, it was not easy to see this level.
Lan Ling said: "There is something deeper."
"Say." Instructor Xiuyan was full of expectations.
Lan Ling said: "Because of its special geographical location, the strategic direction of the Nulang Kingdom has remained consistent for hundreds of years."
Instructor Xiuyan’s eyes lit up and he said, “Be more specific.”
Lan Ling said: "To the north of the Kingdom of Nulang is the Yan Empire, the recognized world hegemon. Before it is completely weakened, or before the Kingdom of Nulang is strong enough, it is impossible to conquer it. To the east is the vast sea, and to the west is thousands of miles.
Desert. Therefore, the Kingdom of Nulang has only one strategic direction left, which is to continuously go south to conquer the southern barbarians and plunder their lands to become the territory of the kingdom. For a country, the most terrifying thing is not that a king is fatuous, but that there is no clear
strategic direction.”
At this time, Instructor Hidehiko's eyes were filled with amazement, and he said with excitement and trembling: "Keep talking."
Lan Ling continued: "As we all know, the kings of various countries are mostly born in a generation of more than ten or twenty years. Each generation of kings has its own ideas. The kings of this generation want to go west, and the kings of the next generation want to go east. In this way
, confusion in the direction will lead to a huge waste of strategic resources, and previous efforts will be in vain. The Kingdom of Nulang has only one direction, and every generation of kings strives for it.
We strive in this strategic direction. Although the barbarians are the most dangerous enemies and conquering the barbarians is the most difficult means of expansion. But hundreds of years of continuous efforts are enough to add up to a small amount. More than a hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Nulang only had
There were two provinces, and now there are six provinces. The extra territory was all obtained by conquering the barbarians, which is enough to prove my theory."
This is true not only in other worlds, but also on Earth. What a country fears most is a wrong and confusing route.
At this time, Instructor Hidehiko was extremely impressed in his heart.
I didn't expect that Sauron, this ridiculous prodigal, would have such insight. It was completely unexpected.
So, he continued: "So, in your opinion, what is the strategic direction of the Kingdom of Raging Waves next?"
Lan Ling felt bitter in his heart and said: "I am no longer suitable to say the next words."
These words directly hit the heart of instructor Hidehiko.
How could Sauron, a prodigal son, be so wise?
Many people present did not understand what Lan Ling said, but instructor Hidehiko was a master of strategy and understood it instantly.
Now the pace of going south to conquer the barbarians has stopped for more than ten years.
Why, because the expedition into the wilderness has reached a bottleneck, and the one hundred thousand mountains in front are blocked like a natural chasm, making it difficult for the kingdom's army to enter. If they cannot climb the one hundred thousand mountains, they will naturally not be able to continue their conquest and expansion to the south.
Nowadays, these 100,000 mountains are like a barrier set by heaven, lying between the Nulang Kingdom and the barbarian tribes.
The only thing that can pass through this barrier of 100,000 mountains is a valley, about dozens of miles wide.
This valley is called the Savage Canyon, and the army can pass through this canyon smoothly and enter the Savage Plains.
However, the territory to the north of this canyon does not belong to the royal family, but to the Suo family.
The Tianshui City of the Suo family is stuck between the Kingdom of Nulang and the Savage Canyon.
If you want to continue conquering the wilderness, you must capture the Savage Canyon. And before capturing the Savage Canyon, you must first capture Tianshui City.
That's why Prince Ji Li deliberately planned to seize Tianshui City. This is because his strategic direction is to use the wild canyon as a breakthrough point to enter the wild plains and continue to expand southward.
Instructor Hidehiko was amazed that Sauron, a prodigal son, could see so far and so clearly.
Instructor Hidehiko said: "Sauron, what do you think the kingdom's new strategic breakthrough point should be? You know, the kingdom's southward expansion has now encountered a bottleneck. If the strategic breakthrough point you mentioned is correct, then I can take you
convey your views to His Majesty the King."
Lan Ling felt excited and was full of respect for Master Xiuyan.
Prince Zhili wants to use Tianshui City as a breakthrough point to enter the wild land, but King Zhibian has not expressed his position yet. If Lanling proposes a new direction, then two strategic views will form a dispute between the royal family and the cabinet, then Suo Shi will have the chance to save Tianshui City.
possible.
He took a deep breath and said: "First of all, I don't think we should use Tianshui City and other vassal territories as a breakthrough point. Because the aristocratic vassal system is still the national policy of the Nulang Kingdom. Once we attack Tianshui City, it will inevitably cause chaos within the kingdom.
huge turmoil."
Hidehiko said: "Yes, but the kingdom must have a breakthrough point to continue its southward expansion."
Lan Ling said: "Develop a navy and attack the wilderness hinterland directly from the sea. And with a strong navy, you can not only attack the wilderness directly."
At this time, there was silence in the classroom. This topic was too high-level, and many people were unable to interrupt.
This point of view is really unheard of, but it makes people's eyes suddenly light up.
Instructor Xiuyan's heart trembled. He originally thought that the strategic breakthrough point proposed by Sauron was to cross the desert and attack the Kingdom of Xiliang. Unexpectedly, he actually proposed to develop a navy and bypass the Hundred Thousand Mountains from the sea to attack the hinterland of the wild continent.
.
Although I don’t know whether this point of view is feasible, it is indeed a very innovative and heavyweight point of view.
Hidehiko said: "People should not be judged by their appearance. Although I cannot give you any evaluation of your views, I can convey your views to His Majesty the King and the cabinet. I believe that Duke Jieting will need your views very much."
From this sentence, Lanling heard a lot of information.
After receiving the bribe, Duke Jiting worked very hard for the Sox family and directly opposed Prince Jili.
However, after Prince Jie Li proposed his own strategic direction, Duke Jie Ting lacked the same level of strategic perspective to refute it. The Kingdom of Nulang could not stop its expansion, so Duke Jie Ting was temporarily passive.
After Lanling put forward this point of view, he put aside whether it was correct or not, which at least gave Duke Jiting a direction to debate.
"Thank you, Master Xiuyan." Lan Ling bowed deeply to him.
