Changes in the living environment and technological conditions are rapidly changing people's lives and concepts.

Some people have the opinion that China does not need to occupy so much territory, the important thing is that it is technologically developed and powerful enough...... For example, if you look at Britain and other European powers, they only have a large territory, but because science and technology have been valued and developed first, they have become developed countries, with strong industrial productivity and advanced weapons and equipment, and they were the first to develop the American continent and the first to open up and conquer the world...... The territory is small, but . That little day is not still moisturized, no? Not to mention the United States, even if the territory is large enough and the resources are rich enough, there is no need to dig up your own family, the world is full of people's available resources, you can use it if you want to, if you dare not use it, then beat him and rob his mother....... Saying that the territory is too big only increases the burden of ruling and management, and adds a lot of unnecessary trouble......

Zhao Yue was quite speechless about this kind of understanding.

Not to mention that the territory and resources directly occupied are directly one's own, and they can be used as they want, without looking at the faces of others, without being surrounded and restricted by international hostility, and without spending huge military and financial resources...... To protect and buy, to help other people live. Just talk about military security significance.

China is the land of four wars.

Not to mention the strategic significance of the rich and precious resources and living space of Siberia in the north, nor the stick country and the Japanese kingdom that are blocked at the doorstep of the east side, but only the south.

The south side has not been a big threat, but it is a source of trouble, which is constant and intractable.

The complex mountainous geography, lush primeval forests, and climate in the south are a natural threat to China's national defense. No matter how angry and hateful and unbearable it is to the lazy but greedy and dishonest monkeys who continue to create incidents out of their own volition or at the instigation of others, even if they want to solve it with soldiers, they will not be able to solve it, and they will fall into a quagmire and mess that is difficult to get out of. No country can solve this complexity.

Fortunately, there is a natural barrier on the Tibetan Plateau that blocks a large part of it, otherwise it is conceivable how bad China's security environment would be.

If the border is pushed directly to the east of the island, the southern ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, and the unmanageable complex environment is classified as the primitive zone of the internal no man's land, all troubles will be gone, and there will be more strategic depth and natural barriers, and more capital for the establishment of the country to develop calmly.

No matter how big the sea is, no matter how long the coastal defense line is, it is difficult to defend, and it is also flat, with a clear vision and can be effectively monitored. How can you effectively monitor the complex barren mountain forests of North and South Asia? No matter how many satellites there are, no matter how sophisticated and high-end they are, they can't do it.

As for some people who say that the south side is not a good place to have a good environment and a special point in China, it is poor and backward, hot and rainy, and mosquitoes are terrible...... It is not suitable to survive, except for fruits and jade and other specialties and unique scenery, there is nothing to be rare, we are strong and rich, you can buy if you want to buy and you can see if you want to see, and it is just so much the value of tourism, there are dangerous wilderness forests and deserted islands everywhere....... Governance and development are difficult, don't you see that they are so backward? Why did you take advantage of that? It's not worth it.......

To be clear, that's because the indigenous monkeys in the south can't.

Somehow, all the natives in the hot areas are lazy, tricky, savage, and lustful men...... Unwilling to endure hardships, not working hard, only keen on bare-bottomed messing, beating, raping, bullying women, and then committing murder and robbery, always thinking about taking the fruits of other people's hard work and accumulation without hard work........ But women are diligent and toiling........ On the contrary, they became the main force of labor, farming and grazing, going to distant places to get domestic water, washing and cooking...... I have to do all the work, I have to take care of the children, I am used to serving my uncle, I drink and sleep, and I don't work my husband....... is very humble and hard-working, but respects men, works hard, doesn't think there is anything wrong with men, and doesn't feel that it is meaningless to live a hard life...... An expert in the United States once said that there is a problem with the IQ of the human race. Although he is not as racially as white as theirs....... But look at the poverty, barbarism, and mess of Africa, and the mess of Asana..... What can you say about them? Even if they want to close their eyes and praise against their will, they must have a place to exaggerate.......

So it's not that the place in the south is bad, it's that the people are bad. Change the Chinese to try it.

For thousands of years, the aborigines of Africa, the whites and the natives of that country thought that it was not suitable for cultivation, but when it Chinese, how could it be gratifying to have pieces of grain and vegetables...... Chinese can grow flowers on stones...... Southern Asia..... That fertile land could not bear abundant fruit in the hands of the Chinese. Not to mention the myriad of natural resources available......

In this Song Dynasty, for Zhao Yue, who lived in the Song Dynasty, what he saw was also the most practical need of the Chinese people: food. This alone is also the reason why it is necessary to open up the occupation in its entirety.

In later generations, China's northeast granary, Zhao Yue was not looked down on in this era, the original was not developed, not to mention, it was too cold, and it will get colder and colder with the glacial climate intensifying year by year, and the northeast of the Song Dynasty was not a suitable place to live and survive. This situation will be hundreds of years, to the late Ming Dynasty is the most serious, even the Central Plains will be seriously affected by the Xiaoice River climate, food has become a big problem, which is also an objective main factor that the Ming Dynasty was played to death by the Manchu barbarians.

In other words, in a few hundred years, the north will be caught up in various climate-induced disasters, while the south will not be able to survive with a drop in temperature, especially if the impact on agricultural production is mild. The best way to get the food that China is so short is to get it from the south. For China, South Asia is at least a granary guarantee and a necessity for the happiness and stability of the country and the nation....... The most important thing is that in ancient times, the powerful could be taken up at will, and the troublesome indigenous monkeys were completely cleaned up, and there were no more these hidden dangers and burdens..... You don't have to be so poor that you can't open the pot, you have to tighten your belts and even starve to death a large number of your own people to generously and voluntarily help the so-called friendly neighbors and friendly people......

Once and for all, the benefits are endless, so why not do it quickly if you have the strength?

territory, never superfluous.

This concept existed even in the Liao State in the era of ignorance and barbarism.

Liao said: No inch of territory in the Great Liao is superfluous, every inch must not be lost, and every inch must be defended with life.

Objectively speaking, some territories are even primitive deserts that are forbidden areas of life with no development value. The desert is at least a good geographical barrier against invasion, and has a certain military significance and value. At the very least, there are some places where it is not a pity to use it when it comes to experimenting with the development of nuclear energy.......

And wow, how can there be too much territory?

Do you have to be at home, the home is not big enough, the heart is panicked, want to live more spacious but the land is tight and expensive, can not afford to buy, objectively the available land is too limited to meet the needs of living in a big house, and do not stay at home, as soon as you go out, it is people touching everyone and crowding people, there is no open and clear place as far as the eye can see, not a dense high-rise building or dense human heads, trees and grass can not see a few trees, it has become a rare thing to see a sparrow flying over happily, it is better to go fast when driving to work....... Still panicked in my heart, but that's good? Do you just like that kind of crowded and lively, and the available territory just doesn't have so much?

Isn't that sick?

Even if the surroundings of the home are very open rocky wilderness, and there are neighbors far away, as long as the surrounding area is not a desert, it is also a good mood, sneak a dog, hunt a rabbit and catch a pheasant...... Breathe in the fresh air, suffocate and be tired....... It also has a place where you can freely let your mind fly, right?

...........

For the bandits who were incorporated into the Liangshan Army, the life of Liangshan was something that the emperor could not get, especially in the current situation, and it was even more impossible for others outside. Just eat this one, Liangshan is paradise, not to mention the survival and security that the bandits need most.

The pirate state doesn't want them. There is no other place in the world better than Yangshan. If you insist on finding one, it is also Cangzhou and Cangbei under the actual control and rule of the Cangzhao family. It is the same as the leadership and drive of the Zhao family, and it is a border pass, which is a dangerous area without a geographical natural barrier, and it is far inferior to Liangshanbo.......

Of course, the best place to live is not an absolute factor that guarantees that no one will betray you.

is that some people would rather give up the superior life of Liangshan, but also live the kind of precarious but free to do evil, murder, robbery, rape...... life.

Obviously, it is impossible for none of the gangsters to be recruited who really want to escape, but they are afraid that they will not be able to escape and be intercepted and killed, or where can they go to live happily if they escape in this winter....... The world has changed, these bandits don't understand, the living environment is harsh, strange, the brain is normal, and they will never make the choice to escape easily if they don't go crazy.

..............

At this time, I haven't seen a person pass through Liangshanbo for a long time, and suddenly Dugu rode wrapped in a snowstorm, but it was definitely not a person from Liangshan or Cangzhao Group, it must be an outsider, this has become a rarity, the hotel duty staff has actually noticed it a long time ago, they did this, and when they saw that the person was not far from the door, he fell off his horse and fell off the horse and lay in the snow without moving, and he didn't know if he was dead, immediately, there was an intelligence officer with two soldiers running out of the hotel and running over....... The others on duty vigilantly used binoculars to carefully observe the surrounding woods and weeds inch by inch where people could hide, especially to guard against the presence of archers.......

The intelligence officer in the trio didn't rush to check whether the person was alive or dead, he stood nearby and carefully observed it and called a few times, the bloated mass in the snow was unresponsive, still motionless, this face arched in the snow and couldn't breathe, not to mention that this person was still wearing a men's cotton hat with a pullover, and he had seen his face covered before, only his eyes were exposed, and his mouth and nose were covered, if this person was a dangerous person, even if he held his breath and pretended to be unable to hold it for so long, this person must be at least unconscious.

Only then did the intelligence officer come forward to check and rescue.

Turning the bloated mass over with great effort, the eyes of the person who came were closed, but the pulse was still quite strong, and he was really unconscious.

The three of them immediately raised their arms and legs in tacit agreement, and carried this bloated ball, which was really not light, into the hot kang of the hotel to warm up. The poor colt, who seemed to be dying of exhaustion and would fall at any moment, had someone come and take care of it.......

Uncovered the hat and mask of the person who came, revealed his true face, and took a closer look, the gang of men in the hotel were stunned to find that this person was actually an old lady, especially not a tall but strong man who was not tall but strong when he saw it before.

It was so unexpected.

Everyone looked at each other. Immediately, he untied the tightly tied coat of the comatose, first, to let the unconscious person relax and relax, breathe more easily, and wake up faster, and also took advantage of the coma to check if there was a weapon or something, and the result was really found out. This old lady is armed with a sharp blade........ It's a short knife, sharpened to .......

"Sister-in-law, wake up, wake up quickly......."

The informant who had taken over first shook and beckoned.

Maybe it was the hot kang that drove away the cold and warmed the people who came, or maybe it was because the people who came were a girl but had an unusual physique, and soon woke up, obviously she immediately felt that the warmth was wrong, and a pair of eyes opened on the ground, and the men around saw that the eyes were suddenly open and there was a feeling of encountering a beast.

This girl is so vicious, and so alert, when she opens her eyes, she wants to raise her head and get up, looking precautionary, but she can't get up for a while, but she lies there and turns her head sharply to scan the surroundings, and her fierce and vigilant eyes like a beast wait to see that this is a simple but spacious and convenient cement wall house and the kind smiling face of the intelligence officer standing in front of the kang, realizing that she is in the hotel, and she was saved by the people of Liangshan, her fierce and vigilant gaze was relaxed, and she exhaled heavily, and struggled to remember without waiting for the intelligence officer to say anything more. And asked urgently: "Dare to ask the little brother, is this Liangshan?" ”

The voice was hoarse with a trill, and I don't know if it was frozen and weak and hadn't recovered, or if it was in a hurry and excited, and it was not good to fall.

The informant smiled and nodded, "That's right. ”

Without him, he continued to say what she wanted to ask, the woman's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have the energy and strength in an instant, and then she suddenly got up, stared at the intelligence officer eagerly and asked urgently: "Is it Brother Yue's Liang Shanbo?" Is Brother Yue in Liangshan? I want to see him, let me see him, save your little brother. I have a fatal urgency........"

A bunch of words like a cannon said this, but her hurried and loud voice suddenly went down, it seemed that people had exhausted their vitality and couldn't do it, or it seemed that there was some hesitation, and the face that had just recovered some blood and ruddy was embarrassed, maybe also ashamed, lowered her head and paused before she said in a low voice: "May I ask if your master, that is, the second son of Cangzhao, is in Liangshan?" I'm from Dengzhou. Little brother, can you help me ask, just say that there is a sister-in-law named Gu in Dengzhou who has something to ask him to see. ”

A carrier pigeon flew out of the hotel...... Soon, the spy leader Zhu Gui hurriedly came to Zhao Yue with a note.

Zhao Yue took a nap of agarwood, just woke up, leaned on his body and half lay on the warm kang to glance at the note, and muttered: "Those people in Dengzhou? Hehe, that's going to be a lot of fun........ I'm just working hard......."
