Han ride

Chapter 228
"Because of the nation." Song Xiance looked at Li Xin and said without thinking, "General, the Emperor Hongwu Taizu was able to unify the world. Does the general know why?"

"Because the Emperor Taizu held a powerful army, there were countless people who were able to recruit good fighters, and the Emperor Taizu had the hearts of the people in his hands, so he was able to unify the world." Li Xin said without thinking.In history, it has always been from the north to the south, and finally unified the world, but Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who really unified the world from the south to the north.

"That's right, what the general said is true. Emperor Taizu was able to unify the world, and there were countless people who were good at fighting, but what was more important was the hearts of the people. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols ruled the world, but only for more than a hundred years. Genghis Khan, Hughes When Billie was alive, the Mongols were invincible all over the world, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, was it because their soldiers and horses were not strong? No, it was because they had no popular support. .Although the Mongols are powerful soldiers and horses, they are much smaller in number. How can these people agree to rule the majority with a minority? Therefore, Emperor Taizu was able to attack the strong with the weak, and finally captured the country. In the final analysis, it was because of the Taizu The emperor is a Han, so he won the hearts of the Han people." Song Xiance said seriously. ,

Li Xin above was silent, he was thinking about Song Xiance's words.The rule of the Han people by ethnic minorities also appeared in ancient times, and even later, didn't the establishment of slaves also rule the world?However, it was during the time of Kangxi that Jiannu truly unified the world. It took nearly a hundred years before Jiannu's rule was reluctantly added to the ranks of the Han people.What's more, in the nearly 300-year history of Jiannu, no emperor has ever been the Taiping Emperor. There are many people who rebelled, and the excuse is that Jiannu is the Jurchens without exception.

"The general has 10 soldiers and horses, all of whom are elite soldiers and powerful generals, but general, how many of these troops are Han Chinese? The general can defeat Jiannu, and the soldiers and horses in the court are all opponents of the general, but the general, with the As time goes by, the general will be able to shock the desert. At that time, the people in the Central Plains, or the enemies of the general, will say that the general is a Mongolian or a foreigner. They are all foreigners, but you, General, are just a puppet supported by foreigners. If the general seizes the world, does the world belong to the Han people? Or is it a foreign race?" Song Xiance stared at Li Xin and said.There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Is Song Xiance stupid?Of course not, otherwise, it would be impossible to leave a name in history.In fact, Li Xin also looked at Song Xiance very curiously. Song Xiance's name left in history, although there is a little cleverness in it, but more, it appeared as a fortune teller. Every time Li Zicheng When going on an expedition, Song Xiance will always be counted on.But at this time, Li Xin discovered that Song Xiance is worthy of being a person who left a mark in history. This person may be proficient in spells, such as prophecy, and can play a few songs, but in the true sense, it is definitely not this look.Could it be that he is in disguise?

"Sir, is this how fortune-telling is done on weekdays?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"Haha, of course not." Song Xiance was taken aback for a moment, and finally smiled in surprise: "Although the student is proficient in arithmetic and has learned some knowledge of the Book of Changes and gossip, it's all superficial. Eat as long as you don’t starve to death. When someone comes to test characters, they’re just talking about people, talking nonsense.”

"It's like when you first saw me, you used a prophecy to tell it?" Li Xin suddenly realized, pointed at Song Xiance and laughed.It's no wonder that in history, what Song Xiance left behind was fortune-telling and the like. There is no way, who made him follow Li Zicheng?What kind of person is Li Zicheng, but he was born as a postman. Such a person has some martial arts skills, but in terms of cultural literacy, he doesn't have much at all. Even if he becomes emperor in the future, he can't hide his ignorance. Song Xiance is He has talent, but if he wants Li Zicheng to completely believe in himself and act according to his own words, he needs to use the power of ghosts and gods to make Li Zicheng believe in himself.

"The general is very human!" Song Xiance blushed slightly.

"What do you think, Mr. Li?" Li Xin asked curiously: "Although Li Xin is a hero, he also takes it as his own responsibility to fight against the establishment of slaves. How can he enter the Central Plains? Now my soldiers and horses are all On the front line of Guihua City, even if it is in its own base camp, there will not be many soldiers and horses stationed, so as not to be afraid of the court. If you want to enter the Central Plains, it will be even more difficult." Li Xin is right, Emperor Chongzhen was very I am afraid of Li Xin. Once Li Xin really enters the Central Plains, I am afraid that Chongzhen will immediately dispatch Hong Chengchou and others. Even Jiannu may not be on guard and go to war with Li Xin directly.

"The Central Plains must be entered. Otherwise, the general will lose his orthodoxy." Song Xiance clenched his fists involuntarily, and said: "Even if the entire grassland is unified and the Jiannu are eliminated, as long as the imperial court closes the Great Wall and blocks On the Nine Sides, heavy troops are stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan, how can the general enter the Central Plains, and start a war with the imperial court? General, if that happens, the general will face the enemy of the entire Central Plains."

"Then what do you mean?" Li Xin's expression changed, and he pondered for a while before asking.

"Respect yourself." Song Xiance said without thinking: "The reason why the general exists is not because of the strength of the general. Now the rebels are besieged by Hong Chengchou in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, and Kong Youde is about to perish. The next one the court will deal with is the general." , General, Guan Ning cavalry has arrived in Shandong now, they not only have to deal with Kong Youde, but also deal with the general, otherwise, why would they need so many soldiers and horses for Kong Youde."

"I'm afraid they won't be able to kill me!" Li Xin said disdainfully.

"It's good to be able to kill. If you can't kill him, then force the general back." Song Xiance said again: "However, the imperial court is still mainly suppressing the general at the moment, because Liaodong is still the court's confidant. The grassland not only makes the frontiers of the imperial court peaceful, but more importantly, if Jiannu wants to attack the imperial court with all his strength, he must first get rid of the general. If the general has the strength to consume Jiannu in front of him, the court is still willing. This is the meaning of the existence of the general. Hehe "If the general destroys Jiannu and goes south in the future under what name, will the court allow the existence of the general? At that time, the general will be a rebel, and he will be the second Kong Youde."

"Haha, sir, it's getting late today. You and I will stop here today. I'm about to set up the General's Mansion for Zhengbei. Sir, I will be the military advisor of the left. Would you like it?" Li Xin looked at Song Xiance with a smile.

"Don't you dare to serve the general." Song Xiance was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed down to Li Xin.Only at this time did he believe that he had been accepted by Li Xin. Although he was only a left military adviser, according to ancient rituals, the right was respected. Presumably the position of the right military adviser was reserved for another of Li Xin's cronies.However, just after joining Li Xin's command, he had to be reused by Li Xin, and Song Xiance was very happy in his heart.
