Chapter 112: Zhu Laosi's good days are coming
The strong build roads, the weak build walls!
Liu Sanwu repeated these eight words, but the more he read them, the more he felt that it made sense. The more I read it, the more I feel ambitious!
Is Daming strong?
If it was said that twenty years before Hongwu, Liu Sanwu was still hesitant, at most it was comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties, but now, he dared to say that he was far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Da Yuan was destroyed, not only destroyed, but also tamed the emperor of Da Yuan.
not only tamed the Great Yuan Emperor, but also gained a firm foothold in Monan.
You must know that even if the Han and Tang Dynasties are strong, they can't do this, let alone plant rape on it, thousands of miles of rape fields, flowers, and cooking oil, just like the current Ming Dynasty, thriving!
As a strong man, how can he rely on a wall to protect himself?
Moreover, the walls were built in the past because they could not tame the Tartars, but now it is different, and a way to tame the Tartars has been found. The pamphlet that Yoo Chun gave him was at hand.
Since the Tartars can be tamed and can gain a foothold in Monan, what is needed is to communicate with each other, so that merchants can come and go smoothly, and goods can be connected...... To do this, you need to build roads, where the road is reaching, where the power is!
"That's right! That's so reasonable! ”
It took a whole night, and the old gentleman thought carefully and figured out the relationship between the front and back...... He immediately drafted a note that he considered impeccable, and sent it to the capital with an expedited eight hundred miles......
Liu Sanwu's sparseness is not ordinary!
After Song Lian's death, there was no leader in the Ming literary circle, and Liu Sanwu, who was highly respected and had good character, was a banner of the current corporal forest.
The old gentleman was ordered to go to Beiping to handle the case...... Clear-eyed people know that this is another big prison set off by Jinyiwei, and no one can say how many innocents will be implicated.
The big guy can only pray that the old gentleman can withstand the pressure and try to live as many people as possible.
No one could have imagined that this case would be resolved without a trace before it even began.
From the emperor down, thousands of nobles in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were all educated, and they were willing to be new people, and then they were to investigate what kind of collaborators were of little value.
Even if there are really those despicable businessmen, it is impossible to arrest them and deal with them strictly, if they want to implicate the innocent!
Wenzong is really amazing!
Ginger is still old and spicy!
If you don't make a move, it's enough, and as soon as you make a move, the spring breeze will turn into rain!
In the world, the only person who can live from the hands of Jinyiwei is the old gentleman!
……
Liu Sanwu has not returned to Beijing yet, but he has already been praised to the sky.
The old gentleman's performance will naturally receive countless supports.
In just a few days, more than 20 pieces of music were sent to the General Administration.
As the most industrious emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know!
In the face of the same proposition of giving up building walls and building roads with all his might, Lao Zhu scoffed!
"A bunch of rotten people, bullshit!"
The crown prince Zhu Biao was in a good mood, Liu Sanwu successfully completed his entrustment and saved countless people, of course Zhu Biao had to speak for the old man.
"My father and sons think it's not unreasonable, it's just that everyone is the same, which is inappropriate, but it also shows what people want!"
"Let it go...... Forget it, it's a good day, no more swearing. Zhu Yuanzhang had a dark face, and in a reproachful tone, he asked: "You also went to Beiping to patrol the border, and my father asked you, what is the use of this wall?" ”
"Naturally, it is to distinguish Huayi and protect the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Don't ask for a solution!" The side wall of the Great Wall, there are at least three functions, one is early warning, the Great Wall is built according to the mountain, there is a beacon tower several zhang high on it, if the Tartar enters the Kou, immediately ignite the wolf smoke, you can remind the soldiers, immediately resist the enemy; Second, it is defense, relying on a few zhang high walls, which can resist small groups of Tartars and protect the safety of the people; Third, that is, to launch an attack, the side wall is several zhang wide, and the army can march on it, and if the Tartars enter the Kou, they can quickly gather men and horses to counterattack. Moreover, around the Great Wall, piers and warehouses can also be built as a means of hoarding grain, grass and ordnance, so as to support the army to go out of the desert and beat the Tartars! “
After listening to his father's words, Zhu Biao nodded frequently, "My father is really high-minded, and the child is suddenly open!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry, shook his head and said, "This is not my high opinion, but someone told me!" ”
"Oh? So who is this person? He has such an insight, and he should reuse it! Zhu Biao said stupidly.
"Phew! I want to cut off his dog's head and hang it on the city gate! Lao Zhu's face was pale, and he knocked the bookcase, knocking and knocking!
Zhu Biao was dizzy...... From the beginning, he was dizzy, what happened to Dad, it seems that there is an evil fire in his stomach, who made him angry like this?
Usually, according to Daddy's temper, those who dare to annoy him, no matter how much credit they have, will not end well.
But why look at the appearance of the father, there is nothing to do about this person.
Who is so capable?
Zhu Biao's face was full of curiosity.
"You really don't know?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked angrily.
"Erchen really doesn't know!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and casually threw a secret report to Zhu Biao.
"See for yourself!"
Zhu Biao hurriedly took it, unfolded it to take a look, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh!
"Why, why did that kid write it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the dragon chair and said through gritted teeth: "This little brute instigated Liu Sanwu to write a book, saying that the strong build roads and the weak build walls, which made the government and the opposition talk a lot. As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he wrote this thing to me and sold Liu Sanwu! Co-authored Quan Daming, he is a smart person, not to mention playing with the minister, but also wants to play with my head! It's infuriating! ”
Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, no one in the Ming Dynasty can play with his father, and no one dares to play with his father, if Liu Chun has such a mind, he will not be on this trick!" ”
These words of the prince are enough to save a person's life...... A book of value...... Serializing!
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and sneered: "As the Son of Heaven, how can I not know the usefulness of the side wall and use him to talk nonsense!" ”
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Father, Liu Chun is also a fist, he really has no bad intentions. ”
"Still say no?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Look at what he wrote, there is no money saved for the court at all, on the contrary, there are more places to spend money!" ”
The so-called strong build roads and weak build walls, these eight words are just a short slogan, in order to stir up people's hearts and win support.
Just ask, no matter how powerful a person is, decorate a door to his home and build a wall, you can't say that others are showing weakness!
There should be fortifications, but there should still be ones.
It's just that with the inclusion of Monan into the territory, the Mongolian tribes want to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the road to go is thousands of miles away, and they have to cross the desert during the period.
Then some people have to ask, since the front is pushed north, can the Great Wall be pushed to the north and rebuilt?
Liu Chun expressed strong opposition to this.
Because of thousands of miles to the north, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the terrain is dominated by grasslands and deserts, so the Great Wall cannot be repaired at all, one is the cost is amazing, and the second is that the dust weather is serious.
Liu Chun's suggestion was to build some beacon towers and fortresses, then send men and horses to garrison them, and then arrange regular cavalry patrols to maintain the security of the entire border.
The so-called strong build roads, and the weak build walls!
Behind these eight words is a radical change in the border defense strategy.
Liu Chun didn't mean to play Liu Sanwu, but he couldn't tell him too clearly, as long as a few people could understand the strategic things, there was no need to make everyone know.
As long as the old gentleman, as well as those civil officials, can support the "road construction", the goal has been achieved.
"The cost of building a pier castle in the desert is not a small amount! It's a lot more laborious than building side walls. Lao Zhu groaned.
"Father, my sons think that if they can really live for a long time, it doesn't hurt to spend more!" Zhu Biao repeatedly said good things to Liu Chun.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "It's not just the cost, but also a reliable person to implement this whole set of strategies...... In this way, I plan to let your fourth brother not only lead Beiping, but also Daning and Liaodong, and take full charge of the eastern half of the frontier. Let that kid also make some effort, isn't his ancestor good at building roads and cities! I just happened to see how much he had inherited a bit of ability! ”
