Xinshun 1730

Chapter 93
In the inner study, the chiming clock has struck six times.

The father and son stood opposite each other, neither talking about the common people, nor about ghosts and gods, but just talking about the heartbreaking words of "the imperial power controls the Wude Palace as a check and balance knife".

The words are not passed on to the six ears, and no one else is present.The son has already won the bet and took the hardest first step. Liu Sheng is no longer the shy bastard who was jokingly called by the insiders, but has become a cunning fox.

"Your majesty wants to do it, so your speech can be used. If your majesty doesn't want to, your speech is useless. You should know what Wude palace is. You have ambitions and worry about world affairs, so you must know advance and retreat."

"What is advance and retreat? Advance means what His Majesty wants to do. If it suits you, then seize the opportunity to do it well; retreat means what His Majesty does not want to do but you want to do. It is not impossible to do, but you cannot do it directly. , and you can’t write a letter all day long. If you want to do it, you have to premeditate it in advance and do it secretly. When it happens, there is no change.”

"Have you thought about what His Majesty is going to do?"

If these words were heard by a third person, whether intentionally or not, it would be disrespectful remarks.

Originally, Liu Sheng thought that Liu Yu was still young, so he hadn't talked about this before.

Even at the time of the incident of banning religion in Western learning, Liu Yu was only warned at the corner, and many things were not discussed in depth.

But Liu Yu has been away for more than a year, and he has done a few things... especially the low-key performance in the siege of the Ergun River Bastion. Liu Sheng feels that Liu Yu has seen something clearly, so we can talk about it. talk.

Liu Yu thought to himself, you don't need to tell me, I understand the virtue of imperial power.It's just a fellow traveler before the fork in the road. He used me and I used him.

Liu Sheng never thought that Liu Yu's thoughts were more terrifying than what he could imagine, and now he is only focusing on "figuring out the best".

Liu Sheng has read all the notes and annotations in the four books.

The same as Liu Yu's opinion, this is the emperor's intentional omission of questions, and it is also a signal that he wants to reuse Liu Yu as a Taoist.

However, where this road is heading, you need to think clearly first.

Liu Yu held up the "Book of Han", flipped through the "Biography of Zhang Qian and Li Guangli", pondered for a moment and said, "My son has other ideas about this matter. Father thinks, what will be the reaction of the court to take the matter of the Western Regions?"

"No objection."

Liu Yu also agreed with this statement, and said with a smile: "So, is it necessary to write flattering and eulogizing articles? What your Majesty lacks is a policy theory that proves that taking the Western Regions is correct? Besides, Your Majesty should know my level and do praises , I'm afraid it will make you laugh."

"For one thing, my dynasty was established in Xijing. Taizu, Taizong, Sejong, and Gaozong were all born in Tianbao Mansion. The affairs of the west must be decided. Those who set their capital in Chang'an did not live in the Western Regions. Although our dynasty is set in the capital, but In the important place of Xijing, how can you allow others to dance swords beside you?"

"Secondly, Mongolia is dead. Our dynasty and Rakshasa divided up the Mongolian land. The Junggar tribe is not Khalkha, but has handicraft industry, can smelt iron, and can make guns. Back then, Galdan was also known as Khan. If If we don’t destroy Junggar and let it reunify Mongolia, there may be civil disasters. Since I don’t want the emperor to guard the gate of the country, I will definitely fight.”

The Dashun of the Junggar tribe will definitely fight, and the whole country knows this well.

The reason why they didn't fight before, or in short, was just to raise a tiger as a deterrent, so that the wolf in the north could learn how to bark.

Now that the Khalkha tribe has surrendered, and the former wolf has learned to bark, it is time to consider getting rid of the tiger.

The Junggar tribe is the Choros family, not the Gold family.

The end of the non-golden family called Khan, the grand master who has achieved such a reputation as Tumubao has already given a precedent.

However, the Junggar tribe had a formal khan position. After the signing of the "Khalka-Wara Law Code", Mongolia had religious leaders.

Galdan of the Junggar tribe was sealed as Khan by religious leaders.

An inaccurate analogy is equivalent to the Pope crowning Napoleon, the kingdom was upgraded to an empire, and Galdan was called Khan as a descendant of the Choros family instead of the Borjijin family. It is very appealing in Mongolia, where the Yellow Sect is the clan religion. .

Since the whole country has this awareness, coupled with Dashun's ideological reasons, there should be no opposition to the restoration of the Western Regions.Even if there is opposition, it is easy to be labeled as a "traitor who misled the country".

Regardless of the fact that the admonitions were clamoring about the specifications of the Rakshasa mission, they should not be clamoring for such a thing as the establishment of the Western Regions.

So the problem arises.

The emperor gave Liu Yu a copy of "Hanshu", which was clearly inserted on the biographies of Bowanghou and Li Ershi.

Policy theory should not be for these people to write about how important it is to conquer the Western Regions, let alone how to conquer the Western Regions.

When he said this, Liu Sheng also felt that it was true.

The three strategies of the Wude Palace Examination, the military strategy, must be "a controlled soldier"; the policy theory, must be "the importance of internal and external".

In terms of history, if the emperor was planning to omit the topic and release water for hand-picking, what exactly is "The Biography of Zhang Qian and Li Guangli" going to say?
The opportunity has already been given, if you don't use the opportunity, and you don't even know what you want, then it is inevitable to waste the opportunity.

To find a shooter, you have to first figure out the problem, point and idea, and then the shooter will polish it.

Liu Sheng thought about it for a long time, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you want to talk about the frontier policy? Although Tang has the Anxi Governor, but Gao Xianzhi is greedy and violent, so that the countries in the Western Regions have a rebellious heart, which eventually led to the defeat of Talus?"

Liu Yu shook his head.

"If that's the case, your majesty can just give me three books. Just put a note in the biography of Gao Xianzhi in "Old Tang". Besides, it is different from Tang Dynasty at this time. There is Junggar in the Western Regions, so how can there be any small countries?"

"Well, it makes sense." Liu Sheng groped for a while, and felt that what Liu Yu said made sense, and it probably didn't mean that.

I took the "Book of Han" and read it carefully. When I read it, "When I was in Daxia, I saw Qiongzhu sticks and Shubu, and asked about this. The Shendu Kingdom is thousands of miles southeast of Daxia. Its customs and aborigines are the same as Daxia, but it is low, humid and hot, and its people ride elephants to fight. Its country faces great waters..."

Surprised, he said in amazement: "Could it be that His Majesty meant that it is in India? Zhang Qian saw bamboo sticks and cloth from Shu in Daxia, and concluded that there is a road from the southwest to India...Could it be, could it be...Could it be that His Majesty meant After conquering Junggar, attack India again, thinking that it will be famous through the ages?"

Liu Yu burst out laughing, and said to himself that I felt that my brain was "already" the biggest in the world, but I didn't expect to see my father before I knew that I was only "almost".

"Father has been out of battle for a long time, but he can even say such words. This trip to Junggar is no less than ten thousand miles away. Since it was returned to the rebel army, there has been no Chinese language for 600 years. There is no food and grass, and there is no cultivation, not to mention India. Now there are big countries, even if there is no logistics, how can we go to India? Take down Junggar and then go to India, father's idea... really..."

"Hahahahaha..." Liu Sheng himself laughed, trying to figure out what he wanted, it was really not easy, he could even come up with such an unreliable idea.

Just when he laughed and thought he was wrong, Liu Yu said again: "But what my father said is not unreasonable."

After finishing speaking, he turned out the annotations in the "History of the Song Dynasty" and said: "Your Majesty said: The lessons of the country should be observed in Han, Tang, Song, and Ming. That is to say, it is neither the whole Han nor the whole Tang. It needs to be considered comprehensively. If you use the millennium theory and mix things from the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, there is another way to say it.”

"In the Han Dynasty, it was the Xiongnu who were connected to the Western Regions. But it was the Hussars and Huo Guanjun who defeated the Xiongnu, not Zhang Qian and Li Guangli. Your Majesty's passing this line on to me, I am afraid that the intention is to 'benefit from the wealth of the Western Regions'."

"The Han and Tang Dynasties operated the Western Regions. One was to guard against nomads and obtain fertile water and grass that could be cultivated in the Western Regions. The other was also to communicate with Western countries for trade. Especially after the Han and Tang dynasties emptied the Western Regions, they earned millions of dollars a year. This is Zhang Bowang. great achievement."

"Nowadays the times are changing and the country is changing. If you only think about the experience of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is a matter of time and money."

"Since I don't ask for the sword, my father thinks, where is the 'Han and Tang Western Regions' of my dynasty?"

Hearing such a direction to solve the problem, Liu Sheng took a deep breath and felt that it seemed very reasonable.In the previous conversation, he knew some of Liu Yu's thoughts, and asked in confusion: "You mean...the 'Western Region' of Guochao is in Nanyang? You want to solve the problem from here?"

Liu Yu got up, turned around in front of his father a few times and said, "Yes, I want to solve the problem from here."

"The 'Western Regions' of our dynasty are in Nanyang. The hollowing out of the Western Regions is beneficial for wealth."

"The 'Shuofang, Yanmen, and Liaodong' in my dynasty are actually in the Western Regions geographically."

"Northeast has been established. After Li Ting swept the caves, Liaodong Han people breed. They are all immigrants from Shandong, Henan, and Hebei. The disaster of Liaodong is gone. Khalkha surrendered and was sandwiched between Luocha and the Central Plains. As soon as the firearms were released, the division The feudal system no longer has the power to cause chaos."

"The southwestern chieftain is not worth mentioning. Even if there is chaos, the previous dynasty opened up Yunnan for 300 years, and our dynasty has accumulated strength, and there will be no disaster."

"Above the snow mountain, there is no more Tubo."

"Then, the "Shuofang, Yanmen, Liaodong" and other border troubles of my dynasty are actually in the Western Regions. And the "Western Regions" of my dynasty's "communication between east and west" are in the South China Sea."

"Zhang Qian hollowed out the Western Regions, so the Han Dynasty earned a million dollars; Tang had Anxi Governor, so Chang'an had pepper gems. Now that the dry roads have been abolished, Westerners sail thousands of miles, and the Western Regions are no longer the place where the East and West met in the Han and Tang Dynasties. I want to To have the benefit of 'hollowing out the Western Regions', it is necessary to manage the South China Sea. Nanyang is the benefit of our dynasty's Western Regions."

"Geographically, the Western Regions are connected to Rakshasa in the north and nomads in the west. Yellow and green religions are mixed. The self-guided army was defeated and the Chinese language has not been heard for 600 years. If this place is not managed well, it will definitely be the Shuofang of the Han Dynasty for me in the future. , Ming Liaodong."

"Since it is compared with the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, the Yangguan in our dynasty should be Taiwan; the Liaodong capital in our dynasty should be the Western Regions; the Turkic Huns in our dynasty should be Western countries; the Western Xia in our dynasty should be Annan Burma... ...As for Rakshasa, it was nothing more than a big food in the Battle of Talas. Its strength was exhausted. Siberia was bitterly cold. Siberia."

"Using the bend of the platform as the Yangguan, the Anxi Capital Protectorate in our dynasty should be in the countries of Malacca; the Beiting Protectorate in our dynasty should be Ryukyu, Japan."

"If you get the benefit of sailing, then Annanmi will be the Anxi Army's millet; if you get the hero of firearms, then Japanese copper and silver will be the soldiers of Beiting. Compete for power on the sea, and drive it to Western countries, and hunt in Southeast Asia."

"The ocean is the soup, the shore is the cauldron! The boat is the knife and chopsticks, and the Nanyang elk is shared! In this way, Fang is not carving a boat to ask for a sword, but observing the gains and losses in Han, Tang, Song, and Ming."

"Father thinks it's okay to solve the problem like this?"

　Looks like it's coming out tomorrow. . . .
