Yang Shiqi said: "Zhao'an has always been despised by literati, but it is undeniable that in the decline of national strength and without the assistance of good generals, Zhao'an is a means, such as the heroes of Liangshan in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is an example."

Zhao'an let the heroes of Liangshan die, be injured, and walk, and there is not much left. If there was no Zhao'an, the heroes of Liangshan would undoubtedly spend their lives in Liangshan. It is unlikely to enter the capital and become the emperor. If there was no Zhao'an, although Song Jiang and the others would not be like Zhao'an, they would have died, been injured, and walked away, but after their deaths, they would only be called thieves and grass cowards by people. On the other hand, Song Jiang and others recruited An, although they were basically persecuted to death by the imperial court, but after their deaths, they would be said to be heroes, heroes, and loyal ministers, rather than thieves and grass cowards. Of course, this method has to be done as a last resort, the advantage is to avoid the death and injury of soldiers, the consumption of national financial resources, but there are many disadvantages, Zhao'an's thieves are easy to be squeezed out and framed by traitors, such as the people of Song Jiang, the vain effort to break the Liao State, and the loss of the Fangla brothers, it is considered to be the trouble of Zhao'an. So Zhao An is naturally hated by readers, and if you don't recruit An, there will be no such tragic things. If Liangshan is not recruited, he will have to fight with the Song Dynasty to the end, and what the Great Song Dynasty is doing is a rebellion, and the Great Song Dynasty cannot turn a blind eye and let Liangshan fend for itself, and it will definitely send troops to recruit and suppress it, and the result of not recruiting is that Liangshan will either destroy the Song Dynasty or the Song Dynasty will destroy Liangshan. “

Yang Zheng nodded, and said with deep feelings: "Yes, Song Jiang's experience is enough to prove that Zhao'an does have some benefits, but there are also many harms, today's Annan is like a mess, Zhao'an is only afraid that it will not work, only effectively imitate Lord Yue to quell the rebellion by force, and then harvest people's hearts with grace, only in this way can it be regarded as pacifying Annan!"

Yang Shiqi sighed and said, "Junior Brother Yang can understand this truth, and today's banquet of the Duke of Guo will not be wronged!"

Hu Ying said: "Quelling the chaos by force, driving fish into the abyss, or being able to succeed for a while, but not once and for all, a rigid and a soft and a combination of rigidity and softness is the avenue, Zhuge Wuhou captured Meng Shu seven times, and Yue Wangye pacified Dongting Lake! This is the style of a general!"

"What you said, Yang kept it in mind, if he was really the coach of Annan, he would definitely be both rigid and soft, and he would never suffer in the future!" Yang Zheng said.

Everyone nodded more than once, the atmosphere on the field was no longer as tense as just now, Zhang Fu spoke more casually, and said: "Li Li of Annan was born in a wealthy family in Lanshan Township, Liangjiang, Thanh Hoa Province. It is said that when Li Li's great-grandfather Li Li traveled through this place, he thought it must be a good place, so he settled down, and three years later it developed into a considerable industry, and since then "the world has been a ruler".

By the time Li Li's son Li Ting (Li Li's grandfather) inherited the family business, he was already "more than a thousand people" The giants, such people, take advantage of the situation to play the banner, in the final analysis, what they rely on is the homeless people, the Liukou, but it is not as simple as saying that the day is clear, and this person is very ambitious, and the Chen family is quite contradictory, if these Yang brothers go to the big can be used, and the people of Annan are the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty, they also don't like war, yearning for a peaceful and stable life, spring can be sown, autumn can be harvested, their children can read a few books, three years can be the imperial examination will be satisfied, if Lord Yang can do this, I believe that those people will follow my Ming Dynasty！“

Yang Zheng was secretly surprised when he heard it, Zhang Fu had never set foot in Annan since he was transferred back to Daming in the twelfth year of Yongle, and now more than ten years have passed, he can see Annan's problems so thoroughly, which shows that he has paid attention to Annan's every move in the past ten years, otherwise he would never have said it so finely, and nodded at him seriously: " What Guogong said is extremely true, fighting a war is only a means, and governing Annam is the fundamental, so we must make use of what we can use to win the support of the people of Annam, and if they have benefits, they will move towards profit, and will not have anything to do with Li Li and others, which will be very beneficial to breaking Li Li's military morale and weakening their strength!"

Yang Shiqi said with a smile: "Not only that, there are a lot of Annan mountain ranges, this is also one of my willingness to attack the Ming Dynasty for a long time, without the support of the people, Li Li, who lives in seclusion in the mountain range, will have less eyes and ears, so that unless the old mountain range, it will never be the opponent of the elite of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Zheng said in a loud voice: "Little brother, remember!"

Yang Rong sighed and said: "In a word, this time I support the emperor to send troops to Annan, most of them are because of Lord Yang's genius concept, one country, two systems agreed, first, we hope that Annan can really be pacified, so that I can go to the heart of my Ming Dynasty, and second, twenty years of governance should also come to a conclusion, therefore, if Yang Xiaodi really wants to make the concept of one country, two systems successful, he can't be reconciled! Otherwise, it is better to withdraw the troops!"

Yang Pu said: "In the first war of Annan, we can no longer fight for the sake of war like in the past, stability is more important than anything else!"

Huang Huai said: "Although the people's hearts are like water, if Lord Yang can't appease them sincerely, I'm afraid the effect will not be great!"

Yang Zheng said: "Xia Guan understands, give people roses, leave lingering fragrance in their hands, treat people with sincerity, and what they receive must be sincere, my Ming officials should also show great sincerity to the people of Annan, otherwise I am sorry for the dead soldiers in the past 20 years!"

Everyone nodded solemnly and said, "It's time to give sincerity!"

This feast, finally in your words, I finished eating in a word, Yang Zheng is eating a heavy face, he can see that this time the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials attach great importance to the emperor to send troops to Annan, this aspect of this is very good for the commander of the expedition, first, there is no need to worry about someone behind the back, secondly, what requirements can be smoothly to get support, once the war is won, Annan is permanently pacified, that is undoubtedly when personal prestige reaches the peak, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, because the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are highly concerned, for him, it is a huge pressure, once the war is a little careless, even if the emperor trusts himself, I'm afraid that I can't avoid the wrong end, and this is what he doesn't want to see, so he looks worried when he comes out!

Yang Zheng didn't have a sedan chair, so he had to sit in a sedan chair with Yang Shiqi again, Yang Shiqi's wine was not high, after a few glasses of his daughter's red belly, at this time the wine was on his face, and he was squinting his eyes and leaning on the sedan window, seeing his solemn expression, he said: "Why are you nervous?"

For Yang Shiqi, Yang Zheng didn't have to hide it, nodded and said: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's just that I shouldn't do it for a while, and I don't know what to do?"

Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "You are young, you are in a high position, and now you have the opportunity that others dream of, it is inevitable to have this feeling, this matter has been said just now, I won't say more, but there is one thing you have to remember?"

Yang Zheng saw that Yang Shiqi's expression suddenly became solemn, and his expression became stern, and he nodded solemnly: "Brother Yang, please say, I must remember it!"

Yang Shiqi seemed to feel drunk, stretched out his hands and put his fingers on his temples, and gently rubbed them: "People's hearts are the easiest to obtain, but also the most difficult to obtain, people are warm and cold, speaking of four words, some people, but they don't understand all their lives, so I want you to do it with your conscience in Annan, treat the people of Annan as my Ming people, love them, protect them, and let them be rich and clothed under the bath of my Ming Emperor!"

Yang Zheng said with an extremely solemn expression: "Little brother, I don't know if I can do this, but I will do my best?"

Yang Shiqi sighed slowly and said: "If a sage rules the world, he will know that the chaos arises from it, and he can cure it; if he doesn't know the chaos from the beginning, he can't cure it." For example, if a doctor attacks a person's disease, he must know the origin of the disease, and he can attack it, and if he does not know the cause of the disease, he will be able to attack. Those who control chaos must know that the place of chaos arises, and they can cure it, and if they do not know where the chaos arises, they can be cured.

A saint who rules the world must not fail to observe the place of chaos. When you look at the chaos, you don't love each other. The unfilial piety of the courtiers is the so-called chaos.

The son loves himself but does not love his father, so he loses himself to his father and benefits himself, the younger brother loves himself but does not love his brother, so he loses his brother and benefits himself, and the minister loves himself and does not love the king, so he loses himself to the king and benefits himself. Although the father is not kind to the son, the brother is not kind to the brother, and the king is not kind to the minister, this is also the so-called chaos in the world. The father loves himself and does not love the son, so he loses his son and benefits himself, the brother loves himself and does not love his brother, so he loses his brother and benefits himself, and the king loves himself and does not love his minister, so he loses his minister and benefits himself. Why don't they love each other? Even if the world is a thief, it is the same. The thief loves his room, but does not love the other, so he steals the other room for the benefit of the other, and the thief loves the body but does not love the person, so the thief loves the body for the benefit of the other. Why don't they love each other? Although the doctors are in trouble, so are the princes. The princes love their own country and do not love a foreign country, so they attack a foreign country for the benefit of their own country. The chaos of the world is nothing more than that. Why did they start from here? They all didn't love each other.

If the world is made to love each other, if the lover loves his body, there are still unfilial people, and if he regards his father and brother and the king as his body, and he is unfilial, there are still those who are unkind? There are thieves, so they regard a man's room as his room, who steals, who sees a person as his body, who is a thief, and therefore a thief dies. There are still doctors who are in chaos, and those who attack the country are those who regard others as their own homes, who are in chaos, and who are in chaos if they regard the country as their country, and who is attacking them. If the world loves each other, the country does not attack each other, the family does not mess with each other, the thieves die, and the monarch, the minister, the father and the son can be filial, if this is the rule. ”

Therefore, the saints who rule the world are so evil that they cannot help but be evil and persuade love! Therefore, if the world loves each other, it will be cured, and if it is evil, it will be chaotic. Therefore, Zi Mozi said: "You can't not persuade your lover", this is also. After a pause, he said: "Regard the country of man as if he regarded his country, regard the home of man as if he regarded his home, and regard the body of man as if he regarded his body." Therefore, if the princes love each other, they will not fight in the field, if the head of the family loves each other, they will not usurp each other, if they love each other, they will not be thieves, if the monarch and the minister love each other, they will be loyal to each other, if the father and son love each other, they will be kind and filial, and if the brothers love each other, they will be harmonious. All the people in the world love each other, the strong do not cling to the weak, the people do not rob the widows, the rich do not insult the poor, the noble do not be arrogant, the deceit does not deceive the foolish, all the world's disasters and resentment, can make those who do not rise, love each other, and praise it with benevolence. That's what you're going to do in Annam?"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

: A saint is a person whose profession is to rule the world, and he must know where the chaos arises in order to govern it. If you don't know where chaos comes from, you can't govern it. It's like a doctor who sees a patient, he must know the root cause of the disease before he can heal it, and if he doesn't know the root cause of the disease, he can't heal it. We must know the root cause of chaos in order to deal with it, and if we do not know the root cause of chaos, we cannot deal with it.

A saint is a person whose profession is to rule the world, and he cannot but examine the root causes of chaos. From there, the confusion arises from the lack of love between people. If the minister and the son do not respect the king and the father, it is the so-called chaos. The son loves himself but not his father, and thus harms his father for his own benefit, the younger brother loves himself and does not love his brother, and thus harms his brother for his own benefit, and the subordinates love themselves and not the king, and thus harm the king for his own benefit.

On the other hand, the father does not love the son, the brother does not love the younger brother, and the king does not love the subordinates, which is also the so-called chaos in the world. Why is it that a father loves himself but not his son, so he harms his son for self-interest, an elder brother loves himself but not his younger brother, so he harms his younger brother and benefits himself, and a king loves himself but not his subordinates, so he harms his subordinates for self-interest? Even in the world, thieves and robbers love only their own homes, not other people's homes, so they steal other people's homes for the benefit of their own homes, and robbers love only themselves, not others, so they mutilate others for their own benefit? This is true even if the doctors invade each other's families, and the princes attack each other's feudal kingdoms. The doctor loves his own family and does not love another's family, so he harms another's family for the benefit of his own family, and the princes love their own country and not another's country, so they harm another's country for the benefit of their own. All the chaos in the world is here, and where did it come from?

If the whole world could love each other, and love others as oneself, would there still be unfilial piety? How could one do unfilial things when one treats one's father, brother, and king as oneself? Is there anything unloving? How can one do unloving things when one looks at one's son, younger brother, and courtiers as oneself? In this way, there will be no unkindness. Are there robbers and thieves? Who still steals when they treat other people's homes as if they were their own? Who still harms others if they treat others as if they were their own? So there are no more robbers and thieves. Are there still doctors who infringe on each other, and princes attack each other? Treat other people's families as if they were their own family, who still infringes? Treat other people's countries as if they were their own country, who still attack? Therefore, if the doctors invade each other's families, and the princes attack each other's feudal countries, there will be no more. If all the people in the world love each other, if the countries no longer attack each other, if the families no longer infringe on each other, if there are no robbers and thieves, and if the kings, ministers, fathers and sons can be filial piety and love, like this, the world will be governed well.

Therefore, since the sage is a person who governs the world as a profession, how can he persuade each other to love without forbidding mutual hatred? Because the world can be governed well by loving each other, mutual hatred will be chaotic, so our teacher Mozi said: "We cannot help but persuade and love others." Here's why.
