Chapter 1912 Sooner or later there will be such a generation
Only by letting the concept of aristocratic families disappear can the children of these aristocratic families come out and fight for themselves and the next generation, rather than to protect the previous generation.
The glory of their ancestors does not need to be maintained by them, because these ancestors have already left their names in the long river of history. They are not the unknown sand at the bottom of the river, but the surging waves.
What the new generation has to do is not to praise or recall how turbulent these waves were, but to let themselves become waves, more surging than their ancestors, and unforgettable waves for the world.
Later generations often say that innovation is the source of scientific development, and scientific development is the source of national progress.
Li Xingchen allowed these young people to look forward, undoubtedly hoping that they would have more innovative ideas to explore unknown areas, and have more courage to use their swords to break through the darkness and vastness beyond China's Kyushu.
Otherwise, the conservative Chinese people will still be imprisoned in this cage, remembering their ancestors, standing still, and quarreling over trivial matters in each household.
A magnificent era cannot be separated from the spirit of pioneering and enterprising, let alone a group, or even a generation, of people with a selfless and fearless spirit.
Li Xingchen didn't know if his generation could do this, but he knew that when such ideas subtly penetrate into academies, schools, workshops and other places where young people gather, there will always be one generation or even one generation after another.
Stand up bravely and fight for the survival of this nation.
This outward direction is not just outward, but toward all "outsides", all unknowns, including ideological, technical, and geographical...
Perhaps what they have put in will be several times or even dozens of times more effort than any other generation; perhaps what they will shoulder will be the hope and future of the entire nation; perhaps what they will live out will be greater than anyone before them.
A more difficult but more exciting life; or maybe...
Li Xingchen hoped that he could see it in his lifetime, but even if he couldn't see it, he knew that sooner or later, there would be such a day, such a generation!
Because in China's magnificent history, in China's history of resisting foreign humiliation and fighting endless bloody battles, there really is a generation of people who have gone through the thorny and bumpy road, and they have broken the shackles that strangled the throat of this nation with their blood, and let
This nation rose from the ashes like a phoenix and stood proudly in the East again. They did it all.
Li Xingchen looked at the roof of the hall in silence.
Outside the roof is the sky.
If I die, I will linger in the sky and overlook all living beings.
To protect this nation, we should work hard to become stronger despite the obstacles.
Bao Xing didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, but he noticed that His Majesty's expression was very serious. Sitting opposite Bao Xing, Yu Chizhen, who was sorting out the information of Hedong Academy, also felt something at this time, and his movements became lighter, as if
For fear of disturbing His Majesty.
After a long time, Li Xingchen turned his eyes back to the table.
He saw the memorial sent from southern Xinjiang. Mrs. Xian, who was busy traveling to the capitals of southern Xinjiang every day to calm the people and encourage farming, still did not forget to take some time out of her busy schedule to send His Majesty the New Year's greetings.
Mrs. Xian's lifelong dream is peace and stability in southern Xinjiang, and now under the policies of the Han Dynasty, she has indeed achieved it.
The Han Dynasty captured Annan, which was equivalent to completely integrating southern Xinjiang into the hinterland. Not only was stability guaranteed, but the development of Nanyang also made places such as Panyu in southern Xinjiang become the most important ports on the coastline. Even many coastal areas east of the Yangtze River
No port can compare with it, which naturally makes southern Xinjiang's economy prosper.
The people in the mountains of southern Xinjiang have never imagined a good life with enough food and clothing, but now it has been fully realized.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Mrs. Xian to be grateful to Li Xingchen.
Without this great Han emperor, I don’t know how many troubled times I would have endured.
The journey from southern Xinjiang to Luoyang was thousands of miles. Madam Xian was worried that her memorial would be delivered too late, so she simply ordered people to leave early. To celebrate His Majesty's Happy New Year, it is better to be early than late.
After seeing this memorial, Li Xingchen realized that the new year was coming again.
In the fourth year of the New Year of the Han Dynasty, from the Northern Expedition in April to the Han army's entry into Hedong in December, eight months of bloody battles and eight months of hard work finally yielded results that are obvious to all.
It’s been a really long year...
But he was in a daze for a moment.
"It's time to celebrate the New Year." Li Xingchen closed the memorial and said with a smile.
Bao Xing didn't expect His Majesty to express such emotion. He was startled for a moment and subconsciously agreed: "Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming."
"I wonder if Yu Wenxian is tired?" Li Xingchen looked at the map hanging on one side.
The New Year is coming soon. Although the Battle of Hedong cannot be said to be perfect, it is at least not unsatisfactory. It would be better to leave Zhengping County and other isolated state capitals to Yu Wenxian. Otherwise, the Han soldiers may really have to fight in the New Year.
Still eating ice and sleeping in the snow, fighting with the enemy.
Yu Wenxian probably doesn’t want to do something that affects morale like this, right?
"Summon Liu Xiuzheng." Li Xingchen said directly, "I plan to ask him to send a message to Yu Wenxian, so that we can have a good New Year together."
Bao Xing's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
That means you, the old man, can have a good year. I'm afraid Yu Wenxian has no such intention.
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't care whether Yu Wenxian wanted to have a good New Year or not. He wanted to have a good New Year, and Yu Wenxian couldn't stop him at all.
Is it possible that this guy really plans to push the battle back?
Even if he has the courage, he doesn't have the ability!

Xunzhou, Yubi City.
Chang Shan took the initiative to retreat to Huagu City before the Han army surrounded Yubi City.
Yubi City is not afraid of being surrounded. After all, there is enough water and food. Even if there is no danger to defend, it can still be defended with the tall city.
But when the Han army's various firearms were lined up, Chang Shan lost the courage to defend the city. Once the artillery fire was fired, the city wall, no matter how strong it was, was just a thin layer of paper. What was there to defend?
In contrast, Chang Shan would rather go squat in Hua Gucheng in the mountains.
Hua Gucheng is short of water, but the mountain road guarded by Hua Gucheng will at least not be outflanked, so the transportation of food and water can still be guaranteed. More importantly, whether it is Chang Shan himself or the Northern Zhou soldiers, that
The towering mountain walls and deep ravines are obviously more likely to bring them a sense of security.
What's more important is that Han Guo from Shaozhou has been defeated and retreated, and is now stationed in Beijiang County, which can cover the retreat of Huagu City. Otherwise, Chang Shan would have run all the way back to Zhengping County.
They have experienced the power of the Han army's firearms, and they have also experienced the fighting spirit and quality of the Han soldiers. Chang Shan knows very well that he can stay here now because the Han army does not want to attack. As for why, he does not know why.
He knew it, but he didn't dare to ask.
Therefore, Chang Shan never took the initiative to stir up trouble, and he did not even let the scouts out.
